Beatrice was the wife of Edgar featured in Men in Black. She was portrayed by Siobhan Fallon Hogan.
Biography[]
Bug Encounter[]
She is introduced as being verbally abused by the farmer over his dinner and how useless she was to him. When Edgar compares her to his truck, Edgar the Bug arrives to Earth by crashing into his truck. When he goes outside to investigate with his shotgun, she briefly steps out to ask him what it was, only for him to rudely command her to go back in the house.
Beatrice fainting to the sight of the Bug
After a while, Edgar returns to the house, but not as himself. When she asks what it was, he instead awkwardly requests for sugar water instead, to which she complies. After he drinks the sugar water, she notes that his skin is "hanging off his bones." He looks in a mirror and agrees. He pulls his face against his skull, asking her if he made it better. Realizing what happened to her husband, she faints. When she eventually came back to consciousness, she finds Edgar gone and reports to the authorities about it.
Interrogation by the Men in Black[]
Beatrice speaking with the MiB
Local police did not believe her, and the story is mockingly reported in a market tabloid. However, agents Kay and Jay, after seeing the article, understand the reality of the situation. They arrive to the farm to talk to her. After telling her story, Kay neuralyzes her and tells her there was no alien, and dismisses the UFO as "swamp gas from a weather balloon getting trapped in a thermal pocket that refracted light from Venus."
He also adds that Edgar abandoned her for an ex-girlfriend, and tells her to go stay with her mother for a couple nights to get over it and decides she's better off. Jay then attempts to give her more closure on Edgar's supposed departure by adding that he never appreciated her anyway (something that was coincidentally correct), then adds more to the story by stating that she was the one who kicked him out of the house, and with him gone, now she can do more with herself, such as going shopping, and especially hiring a decorator to fix her house.
