- Thank you all for coming to this special occasion, but right now, with like a little privacy. (dramatic music) (attendees groaning) (Beetlejuice chuckles) - I was very excited to see that you get to get in on the lip sync this time. (playful music) - Yes, because in the first one, I just scootched my chair away, and I wanted to be a part of that just 'cause it was so fun. It was fun, the first one, watching that, but I got to do it, actually, at the very end of the first one with, "Shake, shake, shake Sonora." That was amazing, doing that sequence. I don't know how many days that we shot over, but getting too gaze into Michael's eyes as we're floating was like a dream come true. - We were watching videos in the days leading up to it, and then on the day it was, oh, oh! It's funny when you do that. - And I think we were, you know, we worked with a choreographer. In both movies, it was a choreographer, but we were free to come up with our own ridiculous moves. And in this case, we were kind of, instead of going real musical moves, which they're in there too, but we agreed to do more to modern dance, you know, this kind of odd moves and to do those synchronized, - It was more performance art than anything. - I loved how serious it was. It always is when you're trying to do good comedy together, you're really serious about it, so we were very serious about it. - And our characters are so lost- - So we'd do this and then that. Should we then turn? Should we turn at the same time and then go that way or, you know, that was all really serious, and then we'd laugh just at the end of a take, like, what the hell did we just do? - Well also, Tim never knew what we planned, so (laughs) he would keep the take going longer than it should have, so there's some stuff in there that like at one point we were rowing, like we were in boats. - Yes, you were rowing. I was supposed to move along the pew I think while you were rowing, but I just- - I dragged you by your ankle. - Yeah, you ripped me off the pew. And oh, and I kept doing a handstand kind of on a step, but I didn't leave enough room, or the pew moved. I killed my ankle. I went flying with full force and slammed my ankle up... Then there was a moment where, oh, what do we do in the hospital? (indistinct) paramedics? - Yeah, her ankle died for that scene, so. - It was like, "No, I'm good, "let's do another one." (laughing) - That scene that's sort of one of those scenes where we're all working and it was a bunch of days on set, and it was just hilarious. There was a whole bunch of, in that sort of dance sequence. I couldn't look at Catherine O'Hara to save my life. If I looked over at her, I'd blow the take, and then we'd all have to start again. And there was a lot of days like that where it was just unable to stop laughing.
