-->'''Beetlejuice:''' I was thinking back to when you Deetzes moved into this old haunted house… and about the first time I saw your folks… or at least thought ''about'' sawing them! But mostly I was remembering when I first laid my eyes on you… I tried my ''best'' to scare the daylights out of you—(the nightlights, too!) but you just ''laughed''! I ''knew'' I'd found a friend! Soon, we were snug as bugs in a rug.

* Just about ''all'' of the interactions between BJ and Ramon in "Beetledude". They almost immediately fall into the "Fun Uncle and Nephew who wants to be just like him" dynamic. Even Lydia can't help but comment how adorable it is.

** "Doomie's Romance" rather explicitly paints BJ and Lydia in the roles of Doomie's ''parents''. (This does make a certain amount of sense, since they built him together.) BJ is a stern, oddly disciplinarian father while Lydia is more of a nurturing, encouraging mother. They bicker {{like an old married couple}} over how they're raising their child, but BJ can't hold out against the joint effect of Lydia and Doomie's sad faces. At the end, when all goes well for their "son," the pure joy on both their faces as they hug is adorable.

Added DiffLines:

** The Maitlands seem to be doing most of the hands on parenting of Lydia at the end of the film. They are the ones who greet her when she comes home from school. And Adam was the one that helped her study for her math test. The movie is ultimately about a couple that were unable to have a child because of infertility but were still able to become a parent to one that needed them.


Added DiffLines:

** Barbara not wanting to use Beetlejuice's services because he didn't want to bring a perverted man around a young girl.


Added DiffLines:

** The Deetzes allowing the Maitlands to CoParent. The Deetzes weren't great parents, but what makes them good parents is recognizing this about themselves and seeing that Maitlands are the parent's Lydia needs and allowing them to co-parent. They stay in Lydia's life and care about her but accepted help where they needed it.
* Lydia agreeing to marry Beetlejuice to save the Maitlands. And after, once they were saved, the Maitlands doing everything they could to save Lydia from Beetlejuice.

* In "The Neitherworld Beauty [-(You've Gotta Be Kidding!)-] Pageant", we're actually given a glimpse on how Beetlejuice and Lydia met in this continuity, as BJ fondly looks back on it. Sure it was his way of buttering her up so she could enter the pageant, but it's still pretty sweet to see how their friendship started.
