Beetlejuice was released on mediocre behavior to make room for Madame Geoffrey. Inspector Fishnet brought her in on charges of harassment and battery of Ninja Smee. While Beetlejuice was a grumpy inmate, Madame Geoffrey is a chatterbox. Not five minutes after her arrival and processing, she started talking about “how nice it is that the authorities are on eye level now.” Whenever the authorities walk by, she wiggles until she gets their attention and is able to draw them into a conversation that usually starts with a “hiya” and then evolves into something about food. She is uncommonly happy for a prisoner, making us feel bad that she is here.
“I like the authorities,” she said one day after dinner. “And I know they like me. I can’t talk to them when I’m out of prison because I get chased into a plant. So other than there not being a lot of room, this is nice.”
Occasionally, Beetlejuice and Ninja Smee swim over to taunt her, but she snubs them and waits for the next authority to pass by. If it weren’t for Ninja Smee missing most of her right flipper, I’d say that there’s been a mistake and that this charming lady has done nothing wrong.
