## Dr. Raymond Stantz

* Hey! It's the new cadet! Welcome aboard.
* (Looking at the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man) It wasn't me this time, I swear it.

## Dr. Peter Venkman

* Yo! Little help!
* Oww. I mean, that was "oww" there.
* You can use the proton stream to take out objects blocking your way. That's it. Just throw the junk around.
* You destroyed a significant part of a five-star in under three hours. Your mother and I are so proud of you. Right, Egon?

## Dialogue

    (Opening Lines)
Ray Stantz: [On TV] Are you troubled by strange noises in the night?
Egon Spengler: [On TV] Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?
Peter Venkman: [On TV] Have you or your family actually seen a spook, specter or ghost?
Ray Stantz: [On TV] If the answer is yes, then don't wait another minute.
Peter Venkman: [On TV] Just pick up the phone and call the professionals!
Egon Spengler: [On TV] Call the...
Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler: [On TV] Ghostbusters! We're ready to believe you!
Peter Venkman: [On TV] Franchises available soon! Call for details.
[All cameras go haywire]
Security Guard: Oh! Russell! Hey, man. You near the East Wing?
Russell: Yep.
Security Guard: [On Radio] B-b-by the new Gozer exhibit?
Russell: Yeah. Why?
Security Guard: [On Radio] There's something headed your way!
Russell: Wait. I hear something. I'm gonna take a look.
[One exhibit's eyes glow]
Security Guard: [On Radio] You wanna hear something really creepy? I was reading about Shandor, you know the guy who donated most of the Gozer stuff. He was into the occult. You know, the supernatural. Weird dude!
Russell: [Startled at the sight of a skeleton exhibit] Uhh, why don't we talk about it some other time. Any other time. [Waves flashlight. He sees a woman running] AAAAA! Hey, you can't be in here. Stop! [Sees a blue shockwave.] AAAAAAAAA!
[Shockwave reaches to the whole of New York.]
Janine Melnitz: [On phone] Ghostbusters. Is your haunting an apparition, poltergeist, phantasm, wraith, banshee, demon, spectre, tortured soul or - [pauses] What? [Shows a trapped Slimer] No. We do not summon dead family members and catch them so you ask them the combination of your safe. Yeah, well, same to you, pal.
Ray Stantz: Hey! It's the new cadet. Welcome aboard!
[Ray is wearing an improved proton pack. Egon is fixing it.]
Egon Spengler: This might be a little dangerous.
Ray Stantz: Great. Danger is our life.
Egon Spengler: We'll start at fifty-percent capacity. That should keep any burning or tissue damage to minimum.
Peter Venkman: Hey. If you're gonna burn any tissue, do it to the new kid. You can't use Ray. Our mortgage in his name.
Ray Stantz: I guess he's right. What's your name, kid?
Peter Venkman: No names, Ray. I don't want to get too attached to this kid. You know, just in case. You remember what happened to the last guy?
[Rookie places in the pack]
Ray Stantz: He's tuned and ready to go.
Egon Spengler: You may feel a little tingle. Good. We've perfected an extensive and rigorous training regimen that will teach you all your equipment's basic functions.
Ray Stantz: It takes some time to achieve Master Throw Skill, but it's definitely worth the effort.
[The blue shockwave approaches them]
Egon Spengler: Was that us?
Ray Stantz: I don't think so.
Peter Venkman: Ray?
Ray Stantz: Had to be some sort of Psi energy pulse! Substantial! A significant collected and centralized necromantic convulsion level seven or more.
Egon Spengler: Agreed. We need PKE measurement checks now.
[Slimer's cage cracks]
Janine Melnitz: I know the answer, but I'm gonna ask anyway... is a level seven, uh, whatever ...bad? Or very bad?
Egon Spengler: On a scale of one to ten, I would say...
Peter Venkman: Let me guess. It's a seven.
Ray Stantz: Let's just say we're about to get real busy.
[Slimer escapes]
Peter Venkman: And that is not the fun kind of getting busy - is it, Ray?
Ray Stantz: Look out. Slimer's escaped again!
Peter Venkman: [Sarcastically speaking] No, wait. Come back.
Ray Stantz: Slimer went that way! Follow him!
Egon Spengler: There it is. It seems oddly drawn to the containment grid.
Ray Stantz: He's been fascinated with it ever since you added the viewer to the unit. Okay. Easy now, cadet. I'll talk you through this. Use the proton steam to get his attention. No! Not the Containment Unit! That's some highly sensitive equipment you're disintegrating there, kid! Oops! You let one out!
Egon Spengler: That's my fault. I was fine-tuning the interspatial gasket this afternoon. I'll fix it. You two get those ghosts back.
Ray Stantz: He went into the sub-basement! And his escape friend went with him! Hmm. Come on kid, we got a job for ya. Taking the right precautions, Slimer's harmless. Uh, more or less. Not sure about the other guy, though... Okay, let's go get 'em, then. Oh, and don't sweat the containment unit. it's easy to get excited your first time out with the proton steam. Egon will fix it in no time. Now, first and foremost, before things get out of hand. You want to get to know your proton pack. It can be your best friend out there in the field. Everything you need to know is displayed on the pack itself! Here's where you keep an eye on your current physical condition. The more green that's on the bar, the more damage you can sustain and still stay on your feet. The bar indicates your pack's heat level. When it gets to the top, you'll went to vent the pack and keep it from shorting out and resetting. For the most part, capturing a ghost is pretty straightforward. We break it into three basic steps: Sap 'em, Cap 'em, and Trap 'em. Special entities derive all their strength from an accumulation of PK energy. Blasting them with your proton stream or other offensive equipment helps to dissipate that energy. Dissipating their PK energy also makes them easier to capture. Do it again! See that overlay on the ghost? It indicates the current accumulation of a ghost's PKE. The The more you disperse, the weaker it becomes. Ooh! We lost Slimer! There it is! Ugh. And I thought Slimer was disgusting. All right, you've got it good and winded. Next stage: Cap 'em! You can project a capture stream, or wrangler, manually, using this control. On the other hand, the pack will detect when a ghost is sufficiently weakened and auto-select the capture stream setting. Get in there and throw a capture stream on that tub of goo! Fantastic! You've got it! Soon as your ghost is in your capture stream, the slam meter begins to slowly charge. Whoops! Monkey suit doesn't like that! You've gotta fight him to keep him in the cone! Very nice, cadet. You've got some real promise! Oh and always remember to retrieve your trap!
Egon Spengler: [Heard from Ray’s communicator] Did you get them?
Ray Stantz: Ah, we're batting .500. Slimer slipped out. Our cadet bagged his first one through! A very nasty customer. Oh, and you've got to be very careful about crossing the streams. In a word: don't do it.
Egon Spengler: [Heard from Ray’s communicator] Seriously.
Ray Stantz: Stings like the dickens, too.
Peter Venkman: Hey, how come this mump gets all the new stuff?
Egon Spengler: He's our new "Experimental Equipment Technician".
Peter Venkman: He gets a cool tile, too?
Ray Stantz: It means he gets to carry around a bunch of untested, extremely, dangerous hardware that if not handled correctly could blow him somewhere into New Jersey.
Peter Venkman: Oh, this knucklehead lugs around our very dangerous prototype hardware that could potentially blow us into New Jersey? Thanks! Keep the title, kid. It'll work hard on you. Scooter? We need to go, let's roll.
Vigo: I see evil of the times to come. You will remember paying $1.45 for gas and will weep hot tears for yesterday. What was will be. What is, will be no more. Did you know that the human large intestine, when stretched out, will wrap around a city block? You have to get a running start.
Egon Spengler: Where to, Ray?
Ray Stantz: The Sedgewick Hotel. It's the first place that little spud go.
Egon Spengler: Right. Back to the initial manifestation point.
Ray Stantz: They've got a real buffet.
Peter Venkman: It's a great one. When Winston returns from the opera, extend an invitation to join us at our table at the Sedgewick. Hey you! You're up, buddy! Training will be on the job tonight. Try not to destroy too many Manhattan landmarks... that's our job.
Sedgewick Hotel Manager: That disgusting green blob is up on the 12th floor again, wreaking havoc! I demand a refund right now!
Peter Venkman: Sir, if you check the fine print on our invoice.
Ray Stantz: Invoices.
Peter Venkman: Right, invoices... you'll see that your warranty on re-haunting expired some time ago. You should've taken the extended service agreement.
Egon Spengler: I'm getting some interesting PKE spikes here. Disturbances don't seem to be exclusive to the 12th floor. I'd like the chance to look around the building a little more.
Ray Stantz: Good. Dug up what you can. That little greenie shouldn't cause us too much trouble.
Peter Venkman: Well, hello. You're perfectly safe now, Miss. The Ghostbusters are here.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Back off, loser. Never gonna happen.
Peter Venkman: Haha. That approach rarely works with me. I'll show you why later.
Ray Stantz: Ah, by the way, cadet, we get paid by the job, not by the hour. Let's go. Alright, ace, get ready.
Peter Venkman: Dr. Stantz, if you'd do the honors?
Ray Stantz: Proud to, Dr. Venkman.
Peter Venkman: Part of our settlement with the city: proton packs must remain off in heavily populated public areas.
Ray Stantz: And in close quarters. It minimizes the city's liabilities and satisfies the restraining order the maid here had put on us.
Peter Venkman: World we live today. You shoot a proton stream of highly charged particles at someone...they get all sue-happy.
Ray Stantz: It's him!
Peter Venkman: Nice. Now we got another plaintiff. Aw, come on, Ray! I'm the one that gets a face full of slime every time the little green buddy escapes! He doesn't even know me well enough to hate me.
Ray Stantz: Ah, yow! Jeez.
Peter Venkman: We're burning daylight, pilgrim. Can we get outta here?
Ray Stantz: Alright...showtime. We wear him out, then we capture him. That's what your proton steam is for. You've got him on the run! C'mon, let's go! Peter!
Peter Venkman: Nah, I've seen this one already. Know how it ends. You two have fun though. I'll cover the elevators and escort any ladies safely to their rooms.
Ray Stantz: Yeah, ok. And this signal looks just like your elusive little targeted entity. Your meter will flash and buzz when it detects a potential signal. The Paragoggles are linked directly to your active PKE Meter. This lets you see otherwise undetectable phenomena, while you track it. Ghost trails, object auras, all kinds of cool events! Now, when the center bar packs, you're headed in the right direction. When its flat, you're following a cold trail. Line the target up with the smallest circle for the best scan. Okay! You got it! Now, just take a scan. Way to go! Red signifies a hidden ghost. Green indicates an environmental paranormal anomaly. Blue means an active sample. You're red hot! Careful! Getting a good scan is sort of like taking a good snapshot. Careful! Phew! Whoa! He's definitely been here. An 'active sample' is something you can collect, like a cursed artifact. We get paid extra for everything we scan and collect. Then we roll it back into Research and Development. The extra funds let us experiment with new equipment and offensive technologies. Which, is turn, you get to wear on your back to test. Remember, you can always review techniques, tutorials, and equipment in your online Ghostbusters Field manual. It's all accessible from your PKE Meter.
Peter Venkman: Ray! I don't feel good!
Ray Stantz: [speaking into communicator] Peter, come in! You okay? Uh-oh. [to the rookie] Man down! We've got a man down! Go, go, go! C'mon! Shake a leg! You can move faster than that, can't you? Double-time, cadet! He's been slimed! Again! Hustle over here and help him up, will ya?
Peter Venkman: How did this even happened? I was covering the elevators! The mutant stromboli snuck up on me. [after being slimed by Slimer a second time] Gaaah, funkified again!!!
Ray Stantz: When one of us goes down, we always help each other out. It's all about teamwork.
Peter Venkman: Oh, no, my friend. That was back in the pre-smiling era. Right now, it's all about payback!
Egon Spengler: [heard from Peter's communicator] You guys need to get down here immediately. Our live-in science experiment is tearing apart the lobby, and he's not alone.
Ray Stantz: More ghosts? But we gave this hotel a clean bill of health five years ago.
Egon Epengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] New people die everyday.
Ray Stantz: Call the elevator, Junior. Alright, Slimer! You've had your fun! The elevator's off limits! [speaking into communicator] Egon, come in. I think we're stuck in the elevator. We need some HELP!
Peter Venkman: Think we're stuck? Well, let's see... Think we're stuck, think we're stuck, think we're stuck... Ray, you guys uh...good with officially stuck in the elevators? Show of hands...
[rookie raises his hand]
Ray Stantz: Here it comes...
Peter Venkman: Kill it, Ray!
Egon Spengler: Need a hand?
Peter Venkman: You always fail me, Ray? Don't you?
Ray Stantz: Nevermind the Onionhead for now. The ghost with the red cap is fighting hard to hold, stasis!
Peter Venkman: Come on! He's a New York bellhop! Just tip him, will ya!
Egon Spengler: The convulsive PK shockwave really stirred the nest. Man, this lobby is so wrecked!
Peter Venkman: Can we please call Winston and tell him his night off has officially ended?
Ray Stantz: More of them! They've split up!
Egon Spengler: Ray, follow me! The others are floating back upstairs. Venkman, you two pull our friend Slimer into a trap as fast as you can. There's a massive bulge in these spikes indicating this isn't just come routine clearing job.
Peter Venkman: He gets so bossy when he hasn't had his nap. Hey now... is that honey-gazed ham ...and prime rib? There. The Alhambra Ballroom. No way he could pass that up.
Sedgewick Hotel Manager: Absolutely not! You can't go in, the Rodriquez Bar Mitzvah is set to start in half an hour!
Peter Venkman: I'll bet the beef brisket is today's special.
Sedgewick Hotel Manager: ...and you've done quite enough already. I'm sure the... thing ...will just go away... I...I'm... willing to risk it. You're not going in there!
Peter Venkman: That's all we needed to hear. Alright, we're out! Coffee time, everyone! Service has been declined beyond this point.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Peter's communicator] Sounds like the Alhambra's off-limits...
Peter Venkman: The shuntz say. Nobody slimes Pete Venkman twice and gets away with it.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Peter's communicator] Be careful, Peter. Remember the Ellis Island incident?
Peter Venkman: The Alhambra should be right through...here. Hello? Chef? Okay, champion. You lead for a while. Alright, don't touch the slime. It's slimy...and it's extremely dangerous. Yaaghhh! You'd think I'd be used to that stuff by now! Nothing to worry about. Most kitchens have self starting pilot lights. Okay, I dare ya! Everything but the kitchen sink. This is why I eat out of a can. Alright, check this out. To trap him, you've gotta grab him and to grab him, use the other half of the Proton Wand: the Capture Stream. That's all there is to it. You just throw this junk anywhere. We don't stick around and clean up. You know, I thought that guy said 'Rodriguez Bar Mitzvah.' Would it kill him to mix in a green salad once in a while? I'm gonna take backup. Blast him until he's dazed and then throw your capture stream on him. Good, good. That's it, buddy. You've got the little monster breathing hard. Got him! Now trey to hold him still - you gotta wear him down. When he's tired, you'll be able to put his sorry crater of a butt into the trap. Yeah! Perfect! See? That's a big wow. That'll teach that pitful goop-sack to slime Pete Venkman. And, by extension,...you. Perhaps a place setting disturbed. Still pretty much ready. Full go for the Rodriguez blowout.
Sedgewick Hotel Manager: [enters] The Alhambra Ballroom! The Bar Mitzvah! What have you done? The guests are arriving in fifteen minutes!
Peter Venkman: And what seems to be your problem? Thanks to me and my new exclusively assigned recruit here, the festivities can now proceed in an entirely ghost-free environment, so you're welcome. Eh? And to the Rodriguez: L'Chaim from the Ghostbusters!
Ray Stantz: Nice of you guys to join us. You grab the little spud?
Peter Venkman: Ray, we need to heart-to-blob talk with this one or we are gonna have discipline issues when he's a teenager.
Ray Stantz: Oh-oh! Heads up! Your initiation is over! Now give us a hand! We've got a couple of really persistent, troublesome spirits here! Nice streaming. You're getting hang of it. Good trap work.
Sedgewick Hotel Manager: Who's going to pay for all of this?!
Ray Stantz: No need to worry, sir. As you know, the Mayor rode to office on a strictly pro-Ghostbusters platform, and we now invoice the city directly for all captures and eliminations. An unhaunted New York is a tourist friendly New York.
Sedgewick Hotel Manager: No... the damage!
Egon Spengler: The Mayor and city have taken out an extensive insurance policy as well so you're covered.
Peter Venkman: Honestly, I'm sensing some hostility here. Perhaps we should just leave the ghosts here if that's what you would prefer, sir.
Sedgewick Hotel Manager: No... no. But please, be discreet.
Ray Stantz: Discretion is our professional watch word. Head's up! Whoa! Where did HE come from?!
Egon Spengler: I suppose we should go after him. Unless you want to discuss it first?
Ray Stantz: Cadet. Go with Dr. Spengler. Check out the angry fisherman.
Egon Spengler: This way. Looks like he's drifting upstairs. Shh. Look out! Can't get across there! Move! Take the lead! Take this trap!
Ray Stantz: [heard from rookies communicator] Hey! Is there a bathtub overflowing up there?
Egon Spengler: [heard from rookies communicator] More specifically: a 7000-cubic meter bathtub filled with prontonically charged seawater? And, um, sea cucumbers? Ray, did you tell the recruit about semi-dimensional rift entities? This type of highly agitated environment is a likely manifestation point.
[Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz and Peter Venkman arrive]
Egon Spengler: Good work. You are alright?
Ray Stantz: Nice going! You might really be the right person for this job.
Peter Venkman: Yes, you have destroyed a significant section of a five-star New York hotel in just under three hours. Your mother and I are so proud. Aren't we, Egon?
Egon Spengler: He's got something! Let's track it down!
Peter Venkman: Egon? Ray? This is something new for us, isn't it? First one I've ever seen! It's some type of highly focused anthropomorphic animator: an entity which artifacts familiar objects to itself so it can materially manifest its rage!
Egon Spengler: It's generating a field of attraction so strong that it's able to reassemble its component parts! Wrangle it!
Ray Stantz: Yank it out of there.
Egon Spengler: Wrangle it away.
Peter Venkman: I thought I didn't like knives and forks flying at me. But, when knives and forks become a big angry giant, that's really me not liking it. A lot. Happens everyday, right? Anybody hear from Zeddemore?
Winston Zeddemore: [heard from the Ghostbusters communicators] Uh, guys? I'm right outside. And so is something else.
Peter Venkman: [speaking into his communicator] Gosh we've missed you, partner. Glad you could make it. But first, how was Aida? Mhmm. Well, we had to make do with, uh, this new specimen here.
Winston Zeddemore: [heard from Peter’s communicator] I've been trying to get here for over four hours, Peter! Traffic is a little blocked right now!
Ray Stantz: Wait...I know that thud...
Egon Spengler: [speaking into his communicator] Winston, what do you see out there?
Winston Zeddemore: [heard from Egon’s communicator] It's big, it's clean and soft and white. And you all aren't gonna like it.
Ray Stantz: No... this is not possible. Not here. Now now. not again! [Looking at the Stay Puft Marshmallow man] It wasn't me this time, I swear it.
Peter Venkman: Pull it together, Ray. What do we have that can stop that cheap confection?
Winston Zeddemore: Ray, weren't you gonna finish up the install of the Super Slammer today?
Peter Venkman: The Super Slammer? Sounds untested, tacky and exciting. I'm in. But will it work?
Egon Spengler: Against the minions of a god? That was never the intent, but in theory I suppose it could. But a Muon trap of this capacity has never been used, or even tried before.
Peter Venkman: Uh-huh and why would that stop guys that don't know any better?
Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, man. What are we? The FDA?
Egon Spengler: We'll have to clear a path through this mess first. Get moving! His reside is animating!
Ray Stantz: Lordy help us! Stay Puft is somehow hatching these... mini minions from himself. Well, there's paranormal physiology for ya. Always something to make your stomach turn. Nettlesome little yaprpers!...and yet today they look so darn tasty. Blast 'em.
Winston Zeddemore: Multiple class 5 FRV's! Inbound!
Egon Spengler: Ray, prepare the Muon trap.
Ray Stantz: Switching on the Muon trap.
Winston Zeddemore: Ah, yeah! My favorite song: 'Switched-on Muon trap!’ Oh yeah! I'm LIKING the Super Slammer!
Egon Spengler: Throw all the ghosts you capture at the Slammer. You can relinquish your handheld unit.
Peter Venkman: I dreaded you when you were alive. You're worse! And whoa! Ohh! What, big soap shortage in the afterlife, guys?! Don't give them change! You're only encouraging them!
Winston Zeddemore: Venkman, we need to have a talk about tolerance! Uh, Ray? Can you stop the car for a minute?
Egon Spengler: No. Not if we're going to catch up to our old friend. I'm detecting something...significant... ...behind us.
Winston Zeddemore: What is it? Am I hearing wings?
Egon Spengler: Class six!...kinetic animators! Multiple contacts!
Winston Zeddemore: Grab him and slam him, noob!
Egon Spengler: Interesting. Ghosts and gargoyles.
Ray Stantz: Hey! That was a game: 'Ghosts and Gargoyles', a game we played when I was in the Seminary.
Peter Venkman: Ghosts and Gargoyles. What dink game didn't you play? Do you have your eight-sided dice with you? What a... what a... what's uh... what a... wha... what do we do?
Egon Spengler: It's not vaporizing fast enough. There's too much of it.
Winston Zeddemore: Damn! We were starting to make good time, too.
Ray Stantz: And I thought it couldn't become any harder to get around Manhattan. Any ideas?
Egon Spengler: Well, we're not getting through that way now!
Winston Zeddemore: Hey, cut through this alley. We might be able to head off Stay Puft.
Ray Stantz: We need to find a way out of this mess.
Peter Venkman: See, it's either you or Egon, Ray or Winston.
Winston Zeddemore: I've had just about enough of the Marshmallow Parade. Let's go see if we can find us a shortcut. You with me? Are you kidding me? Haunted laundromat? That looks like our ticket. That tanker's leaking gas all over the place. That is a serious safely hazard, man.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Winston's communicator] I wanted to test these first, but since we're waiving that safety step today anyway, you should be aware that I modified the Neutrona Wand which normally releases the particle stream.
Winston Zeddemore: Wow! It's like Christmas came early!
Ray Stantz: [heard from Winston's communicator] Earlier than what? They started Christmas before Halloween this year! Santa came to my house dressed as Dracula!
Winston Zeddemore: Boston darts should do the trick! You guys might wanna stand back.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Winston's communicator] How far, exactly?
Winston Zeddemore: Back... WAY back.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Winston's communicator] Do I still have eyebrows?
Peter Venkman: [heard from Winston's communicator] Same old, same old.
Winston Zeddemore: I said "way back."
Ray Stantz: Nicely done. Great job, kid!
Peter Venkman: Yeah, combustible gasoline. It's the future. Egon, once again on the Super Slammer. I, uh...dog ate my homework.
Egon Spengler: It's a prototype, Peter. Do you recall the memo from you about you getting too many memos on prototypes?
Peter Venkman: Well, I did write that memo.
Egon Spengler: We've mounted a high-expansion, rapid cycle multiple ghost absorber. It's faster and larger than our portable units.
Peter Venkman: Am I in jeopardy? Is this a big enough stick to roast this guy? Okay, okay!
Egon Spengler: Potentially. But our exposure to inter-dimensional deities has been only marginal to date, so it would be wise to anticipate some error.
Peter Venkman: Yahh! You know, for a big guy, he fights awfully sneaky. You should tie a propeller around his neck.
Ray Stantz: Wrong way, peach fuzz. Come here. 'Hindenburg: The Opera'? Wasn't that show shut down when the stage caught fire and killed the cast?
Peter Venkman: I read the reviews. Oh the humanity!
Ray Stantz: I had to say that.
Winston Zeddemore: That's right. Ruthless producers. They just reopened it last week. It's crackling. There must be something really bad about this place.
Egon Spengler: Grab a full scan.
Ray Stantz: Good idea. We should probably have a look around.
Peter Venkman: Guess that means we're not alone here.
Ray Stantz: Yep. These are unusual flux patterns. Whoa, wait! Don't touch that! That's what I thought. Black slime. Black slime is a hazardous form of ectoplasmic residue. Toxic to both body and soul. Very dangerous. Egon and I haven't developed clothes and boots sufficient enough to insulate against the negative psychokinetic effect's of this stuff yet, so be careful.
Winston Zeddemore: In other words, the stains don't ever come out.
Peter Venkman: Whoa!
Winston Zeddemore: Watch yourself!
Egon Spengler: Look out! The Fat Lady's singing!
Peter Venkman: She is so over.
Ray Stantz: Looks like an opera singer, and a hefty one at that. Peter, you better take her.
Peter Venkman: What's that supposed to mean? I'm a chubby chaser? I take out one plump girl on a blind date, like her personality and you guys can't let it go.
Winston Zeddemore: I don't have time for you right now, gargoyle!
Peter Venkman: More of them!
Winston Zeddemore: You just did a service to humanity, kid. Hindenburg is a terrible show.
Ray Stantz: Times Square, post-urban renewal. All shiny and clean. I love it!
Peter Venkman: [sarcastically] Say, is that him?
Egon Spengler: He's hard to miss.
Peter Venkman: Egon, how close do we have to get the big trap to reel him in?
Egon Spengler: A lot closer than this.
Peter Venkman: What's he up to now?
Ray Stantz: He's...looking for something.
Egon Spengler: Is he looking for something or someone?
[Ray is shown in the ECTO-1 as he sinks down in his seat]
Reporter: As you can see behind me, the streets are in absolute chaos! Authorities are doing everything they can to quell the panic and maintain order. It is madness out here! The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, star of popular children's television show, is on a rampage! This is NOT the Stay Puft we've come to love! Fortunately, the Ghostbusters have arrived to put everything back to normal!
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] It's damaged. I've got to fix it or we won't stand a chance.
Ray Stantz: We need to get here to there...make sure the big boy doesn't find whatever he's looking for!
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] Good strategy. It's dangerous, though...that's a lot of open ground to cover.
Ray Stantz: [speaking to the rookie] Alright, sport. Looks like it's me and you. Let's go across Times Square and get into the building Stay Puft is so interested in. You guys keep him off us if you think you can!
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator referring to Staypuft] He knows you're there, Ray! I don't think he likes it.
Ray Stantz: [speaking into communicator] Yep. He spotted us. [speaking to the rookie] Keep moving! Keep away from those feet! He'll stomp you into jelly! Soften him up with your Boston Darts! Boson Darts should do the trick. Nice Boson, that really dinged him! Great job! Now see if he wants... S'more...get it? I'm funny too ya know. Here he comes! Evasive maneuvers! Stick close to me and as far away from him as you can! [speaking into communicator] Venkman! You gotta distract him! Venkman! Are you getting coffee?! Venkman's getting coffee! [speaking to the rookie] Pepper him with Boson Darts! Stay on your toes! Follow me quick! Draw him over here. Boy! He's really mad! Stay on my six! There's our way in! Break for it! [addressing everyone in the building lobby] It's okay! Ghostbusters! Just a Level 5 thought-from Crossrip! The professionals are here! Everybody calmly exit the street! Make no sudden movements! [speaking to the rookie] Uh-oh! He didn't find what he was looking for on the bottom floors. Come on. We've got to get to the top floors!
Hotel Manager: All full. Going up. He, uh, just passed gas. Catch the next one.
Ray Stantz: Relax, sir. We handle foul vapors all the time.
Hotel Manager: "Let's stay in for lunch", you said. "Why leave the building?", you said. "It'll be quiet", you said. You know you're fired?
Guy: [speaks with mocking sarcasm] You're right. I secretly know our lives would be in danger and thought "Hey, I'll make sure I trap Mark with me inside an elevator!".
Ray Stantz: Excuse us. Ghostbusters to the rescue! Stay with me, Hoss! I'm sure there's more fun up ahead. Aww, I missed him. Huh? We've stirred up a hornet's nest, kid. Uh-oh. No sudden movements! Okay...it sure got quiet all of sudden... They're in the vents! They're in the vents! Don't let them circle behind you! Yuck! I'm covered in marshmallow minion goo! Stay Puft is working overtime generating these little creeps. Watch out! They're smart! Whew! The janitors are gonna have to break out the BIG brooms tomorrow morning. Let's go. Oh, man![speaking into communicator] Venkman, come in please. It's pandemonium up here - chucks of the building missing everywhere. You are required at this site now!
Peter Venkman: [heard from Ray's communicator] I'm so happy to be demand but these sugarballs have got me nailed down. I can't get past 'em. They're disgusting! And they're unhealthy!
Ray Stantz: [speaking into communicator] Uh, did I mention there's a spectacularly beautiful lady in distress?
Peter Venkman: [heard from Ray's communicator] I'll be right there.
Ray Stantz: Alright. Showtime.
Woman: Aaaaah! No! Somebody help me!
Ray Stantz: Easy now, Miss. Just relax. No sudden movements. You're perfectly safe now. Sudden movements! Sudden movements! Wow! Check it out, kid! What a view, huh?! Manhattan! I love it!! Scooter, we need to go, let's roll.
Peter Venkman: It's okay. Dr. Venkman has you. You're fine now.
Ray Stantz: You didn't spill your coffee, did you Peter?
Peter Venkman: Ray, I got coffee for all of us. But the little monster spilled it. And what's the story with those things, anyway?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: W...was that a Manifestation of Gozer?
Peter Venkman: Uh. Yeah, probably. It just may be. Could be. Would you like to take the most direct route outta here or the scenic route? It's lady choice.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: There's a stairwell over here. Let's go!
Peter Venkman: Whew! Yeah, grace under pressure. I appreciate in that lady.
Ray Stantz: Okay, slugger. Let's you and me do this quick and quiet. Before tubby soft-squeeze out there figures out what we're up to.
Peter Venkman: I think tubby soft-squeeze has dog ears, Ray! We go up then. To the roof!
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Aaaaah!
Peter Venkman: Well, hello there.
Ray Stantz: Stay Puft spotted us! Move! Move! Not much longer, cadet! That way!
Peter Venkman: Well, that' some relief.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Stay back! Oh no!
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] I don't mean to alarm you, but we lost sight of Stay Puft.
Ray Stantz: Strong signal! Get its attention! That's how you do it! Great job, you guys! Ha! Free s'mores for everybody, from 54th street to 5th Avenue! Happy Thanksgiving!
[After Ray, the Rookie, and Peter knock off The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from the building they're on]
Peter Venkman: [looking down the building] There he goes, let's see if he comes all the way down to- Oh! not quite, didn't make it. [turns to Ray] Hey Ray, say 3 guys, the size of your finger, knocked you off the side of a 30-story building and you had to climb all the way back up to tear them apart, how mad would you be at those 3 little dinky types?
Ray Stantz: I'd go with mighty pissed. Oh, and throw in a sugar high too.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: that giant blue and white toy, man, thing, is still coming! it's climbing the building!
Peter Venkman: I'm impressed with his agility, considering his complete lack of bones.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Peter's communicator] Peter, we got the Super Slammer on pulse, Ecto-1 is rolling, we're re-positioning now, can you hold the Stay Puft here for just a few minutes?
Ray Stantz: [speaking into communicator] If by few, you mean less-than-one, than sure, we can do that.
[Stay Puft's climbing causes a brief shake on the rooftop, which causes the Rookie to stumble and fall off the rooftop, only for Ray the grab his belt.]
Peter Venkman: hey, did somebody tell you it was break time?
Ray Stantz: no sweat, kid! we got you!
Peter Venkman: Well, as long as you're down here, can you see if you can knock off Mr. Sweetness?
Ray Stantz: All right there, sunshine. Are you okay? You're all strapped in, we've got a good tight grip on your belt! Here he comes! The Big Daddy manifestation himself! A raging blob of densely packed marshmallow! Woah boy! Melt him, chief! Give him full stream!
Egon Spengler: [heard from rookies communicator] He's right, rookie. Your health insurance doesn't begin for another 89 days.
Ray Stantz: More of those minis. How many he can regenerate?
Peter Venkman: From two hundred thousand square feet of solid marshmallow? Mm-hmm. Probably sixty. Is that his upset look? What do you think, Ray?
Ray Stantz: We've got him on the ropes, whapster! Last the one so we can go home!
Peter Venkman: You've killed my dessert!
Ray Stantz: Scoreboard reads: Ghostbusters: two! Gozer the Gozerian: zero! Lookin' like a real big-leaguer out there, champ!
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] Ray, Peter. We're in position, the trap is set. We are prepared to capture Stay Puft. Where is he?
Peter Venkman: [speaking into communicator] He's that white puddle you're driving through.
Ray Stantz: [speaking into communicator] Timing's off by just a hair, Egon. But we're glad the trap is working again.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: I guess I owe you guys my life.
Egon Spengler: She's clean.
Ray Stantz: How do you feel?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Pretty good, all extremely weird things considered.
Peter Venkman: So far, just another screwed up day at the office. You know, I never forget a face attached to all the rest of that. I think we met earlier at the Sedgewick Hotel. You gave me the sideshow chickendrop.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: My name's Ilyssa. Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn. And...
Peter Venkman: I am DR. Peter Venkman. And that's uh Egon, Ray, Winston and uh you met him.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Uh huh. The Ghostbusters.
Egon Spengler: Have you ever been involved in this type of quantum temporal rift event before?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: A quantum what?
Ray Stantz: It's called 'arcing'; a large pulse of psychic energy.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Actually, yes. I was at the museum... a pulse of blue light surged through the building... and then I was standing outside a room on the thirteenth-floor of an old hotel.
Winston Zeddemore: The Sedgewick.
Ray Stantz: The Sedgewick doesn't have a thirteenth-floor.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: It was pulling me, like a magnet. I felt as though I was in a deep dream. I came to and ran over here.
Peter Venkman: Here?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: It's a temporary office when I'm in town. I came to do some research after I... woke up.
Egon Spengler: We'd like you to come to our lab so we can run some brief tests and ask you more questions.
Peter Venkman: Here's an easy one: would you like to go out for Thai, Mexican, Japanese?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Wow, Dr. Venkman. That time you almost went 45 seconds without something abrasive. Wanna try for a whole minute next time?
Peter Venkman: A doctor. And fiery one too! Charming. So charming.
Janine Melnitz: Ghostbusters, what do you want? We can schedule a visit, umm...next Thursday? Sometime between 8 A.M. and 4 P.M.? I'm afraid that's the soonest opening we have. Alright, I've got you down for then. Oh it won't be necessary to call before they arrive. Believe me, you'll know it. That'll be fine. Goodbye.
Vigo: Another thousand failures and I'll have enough negative energy to return to the world of the living. HAhahaha! Prepare yourselves for the inevitable. That was almost as painful as being stabbed and pulled apart...ermmmmm, but perhaps not. Hello, Ghostbusters. Mmm, mm-hmm. No, we do not advise that you attempt to perform a Peruvian type-5 exorcism on yourself! Mm-hmm. But listen, listen, once you've tied yourself to the chair, it's very difficult to do that to the cat even if you could catch it.
Winston Zeddemore: So, you know so much about Gozer because...?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Because I'm a specialist in ancient Mesopotamian cultures and architecture. Sumerian, primarily. Gozerian, more specially. I'm here as a guest curator for the Gozerian exhibit that's opening tomorrow at the Natural History Museum.
Egon Spengler: You are aware that we also have some... history with Gozer.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Yes, of course.
Ray Stantz: Gozer was a bush-leaguer before he met us. A strictly firm-team deity! We put him on the map!
Peter Venkman: But our getting stiffed on invites to opening night...just an oversight, right?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: I don't have anything to do with that.
[Walter Peck arrives]
Walter Peck: That, gentlemen, was all me! And I can assure you, it was not an oversight!
Janine Melnitz: Oh, by the way, you have visitors.
Peter Venkman: [sarcastically] Thanks, Janine. You're a first class lookout. Walter Peck. I did not recognize you without the Mayor's backside attached to your nose.
[Mayor Jock Mulligan arrives]
Mayor Jock Mulligan: Okay... everybody put 'em back in their skivvies! [Laughs] Apologies, eh, Dr. Selwyn. Are you alright?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: I think so, but...I'm worried about the exhibit.
Mayor Jock Mulligan: Are you kidding?! You can't buy publicity like this! The guest curator of the Gozer Exhibit...the expert Peck commended...is attacked the night before the opening by Gozer himself?! Please...tell me that was Gozer!
Egon Spengler: Gozer manifested in a familiar form; one he had used before: The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. But this event was weaker than his first encounter with us.
Mayor Jock Mulligan: Ha! That's all I need. Thanks!
Peter Venkman: Come on, Jock, what's the idea bringing ... [Coughs] ...preck around here? Oh, have I coughed at the wrong time?
Mayor Jock Mulligan: Listen. Here's the deal. You and Peck all you guys are going to work together.
Peter Venkman: What?!
Ray Stantz: No way, no how...
Egon Spengler: Impossible.
Mayor Jock Mulligan: Look. This city has given you at least a dozen contracts for the jails, courthouses and wharves. You guys want to grow your business. Get some county and state work too. I'm all for it. You've been big supporters, and great for my campaign.
Ray Stantz: Well some have said our endorsement is what you got elected.
Mayor Jock Mulligan: But not out loud. Anyway, after all the damage you've been causing lately, the city council wants you under close supervision for a period of no less than six months!
Peter Venkman: We file reports on time. There's no need for extra supervision.
Mayor Jock Mulligan: Ha, ha, ha! Funny guy, Venkman! You're always been my favorite. Well, that's where your old friend Peck come in. He's annoying, a sticker for the rules. In other words, the perfect "Peck" for the job. He's our new head of P-COC!
Ray Stantz: P-COC?
Walter Peck: P-C-O-C: Paranormal Contracts Oversight Commission. And my fist official act is going to be suspending you clown's operating license.
Mayor Jock Mulligan: Lighten up, Peck. Launch your investigation if you have to but for now, just keep them under control and my office in the loop. But remember, if the Ghostbusters cease to exist, so does your job. So you need each other. Beautiful, in an ironic symmetrical kind of way, isn't it?
Peter Venkman: Hey, Mulligan. Come on...
Mayor Jock Mulligan: It's Mayor Mulligan to you, Venkman. So, we have an understanding? This kind of protects us all. You want more government business, I want to keep my approval rating, and Peck wants his fiefdom. You play by the rules. Easy, we all get what we want and the city council gets what they needed. Okay, big night tomorrow, Ilyssa! Get some rest!
[Mayor Jock Mulligan walks away]
Ray Stantz: So! Now that we're all friends, can we get invites to the Museum opening?
Walter Peck: Not likely. But I'll be seeing you soon. You can count on that.
[Walter Peck walks away]
Peter Venkman: Doesn't Pack look exactly look like the kind of guy would "accidentally" walk into the stream of a boson collidor? I'm just saying...it could happen.
Janine Melnitz: Ghostbusters. Oh, hi. Are you serious, they did? Brent and Donna? He did?! Ugh, with Dylan right there?! What did Steve say? [Gasps] You're kidding! Ugh, I know. I know. The little tramp. Right. Right... I don't think so. Mmm, mm-hmm. Alright. Goodbye.
Egon Spengler: Ray and I have been talking...
Ray Stantz: ...and we think we should have a look at the museum. Whatever happened tonight, it started there.
Peter Venkman: Okay. I'll take one for the team and stay with Ilyssa. You guys go with Winston and the Recruit. I'll be her personal protection.
Winston Zeddemore: What about Peck? He's supposed to be informed of everything we do.
Ray Stantz: What he doesn't know can't hurt us.
Janine Melnitz: [On Radio] Hey Guys, you need to make a detour. Something big is going down. It's on 1010 WINS now.
Ray Stantz: Tune it in.
Radio Announcer: ...and another ghostly sighting has staff at the New York Public Library scrambling for answers.
Egon Spengler: The Gray Lady.
Ray Stantz: Let's get her for real this time ...go!
Winston Zeddemore: Well, what about the Museum?
Ray Stantz: It's been here for a hundred and four years. Where's it gonna go today?
Winston Zeddemore: Uh, this thing you guys have for the Gray Lady borders on the weird. You know that, right?
Ray Stantz: She made us look like schmucks. Not this time.
Janine Melnitz: [On Radio] Oh, and another thing, Peck called and says that I'm required to tell him where you are and what you are up to.
Egon Spengler: Tell him he can meet us at the Museum. We'll be there... eventually. Big crowd. Venkman would love this.
Ray Stantz: Captain McMahon from the 12th says there was a massive disturbance. Real fireworks show.
Winston Zeddemore: Not much going on now.
Egon Spengler: Maybe. But didn't there used to be two lions out here?
Ray Stantz: Check for valences.
Egon Spengler: Hmm...interesting. Ray, take a look at this.
Ray Stantz: Wow! Big spikes! Hey, cadet. You need to see this.
Egon Spengler: Stand back!
Ray Stantz: Look out! There they go! Whoa! Double full torso animators! C'mon! After them!
Winston Zeddemore: You heard Stantz! Let's move.
Egon Spengler: There they are!
Ray Stantz: Couple of Class-five Animators. Never seen them in tandem like that! They're really agitated!
Winston Zeddemore: Switching on the packs.
Ray Stantz: All right...take it easy, now.
Winston Zeddemore: Hey! He said 'take it easy!' That's not 'easy'. Missed! Damn!
Ray Stantz: Sorry, Z.
Winston Zeddemore: How about a little warming next time, fellas!?
Egon Spengler: That one's a beast, Ray. Let's chase him down. Winston, check the next doorway. See if he has any friends.
Winston Zeddemore: Leave a haunted room? I got no problem with that.
Ray Stantz: Hey, cadet. To use the Shock Blaster, it's best to get up fairly close. Its effect is powerful, but dissipate quickly over distance.
Egon Spengler: And be careful, it's a prototype. We're trusting you with it.
Ray Stantz: The Stasis Stream will temporarily slow down paranormal entities. If you train the stream on the target long enough, you can actually stop it entirely!
Egon Spengler: This is how you use it.
Winston Zeddemore: Cool! A freeze ray!
Ray Stantz: A stasis stream. This has nothing to do with cold. But the effect is similar.
Winston Zeddemore: When do you have the time to work on all this stuff, Egon?
Egon Spengler: I've been conducting an experiment in which I sleep an average fourteen minutes a day. Leaves me a lot of time to work.
Ray Stantz: Great! Ready to roll. Hey, Hoss. You think can handle that little fella yourself? We'll meet you back here. Stay alert. Keep your PKE Meter up. Animators can hide in anything. Look! It's the cadet!
Egon Spengler: Strong emanations. No direct source, though.
Ray Stantz: We followed our guy in here and gave us the slip.
Egon Spengler: Detecting a very strong anomaly here...
Ray Stantz: Uh-oh. Here comes something big! Egon! Did I mention what a good idea you had to come up on the balcony? It's losing strength! Keep tearing it down!
Egon Spengler: All its power is emitting from a single focal object!
Ray Stantz: There its focal point! Capture it! Wrangle it away! Man. How much PK energy must it take to collect and animate an entity like that?
Egon Spengler: A lot. A lot of very angry energy.
Ray Stantz: How easy was that?
Egon Spengler: Wait. Not so fast. I'm getting some big fluxes here.
Ray Stantz: I think it's her. Yes...yes. It is her! Elanor Twitty, The Librarian!
Egon Spengler: Look! There she is! Meet us at the stairway door!
Ray Stantz: She went down that way!
Egon Spengler: Winston, check upstairs to see if the other Phantom doubled back.
Winston Zeddemore: [heard from Ray's communicator] Roger.
Ray Stantz: She shushed us again. That witch!
Egon Spengler: PKE's out. And try to be quiet.
Ray Stantz: Oh wow! A full stabilizing levitation! I'd say we're close to something.
Egon Spengler: Ray...
Ray Stantz: You got something?
Egon Spengler: I've got something. Right... here.
Ray Stantz: Kid, check that out.
Egon Spengler: Yaahhh!
Ray Stantz: Ooooh! She keeps shushing us! That's her! The Gray Lady! She's the first ghost we ever hunted. Man, I wish Venkman was here.
Egon Spengler: I'm pretty sure Venkman doesn't.
Ray Stantz: Easy now...she's real skittish.
Egon Spengler: Damn! Lost it!
Ray Stantz: Let's go! We'll cut her off!
Egon Spengler: These readings are off the charts! Now I'll have to make new charts.
Ray Stantz: Wow! Now listen. This place is reading like a psychic pressure cooker. Prime your thrower. Everybody stick close together. What was that?
Egon Spengler: Here! This way! Quick!
Ray Stantz: Okay, so much for 'stick together' - new plan is 'fan out.'
Egon Spengler: Flexible approach, Ray.
Ray Stantz: There are two hostile spirits roaming around in here.
Egon Spengler: Two that we know about.
Ray Stantz: Now I got ya. What?! Oh no! Look out! It's coming your way!
Winston Zeddemore: Guys, I'm the periodical archives looking a stack of old newspaper clippings... All about some nut named Edmund Hoover, AKA 'The Collector.'
Egon Spengler: Hmm...go on.
Winston Zeddemore: The dude has a history you should know about. He was a rare book collector seduced Eleanor Twitty, the head librarian of this place.
Ray Stantz: The Gray Lady?!
Egon Spengler: That would be my guess.
Winston Zeddemore: Okay, guys, it's dead up here. The good kind, I mean. You all cool?
Egon Spengler: We may need to get back to you on that.
Ray Stantz: Hey, Kid. What's your 20? I'm in some kind of a dark tunnel, moving fast... towards a bright light. Oof! Class I Swarmers! Pesky out combustable! Now where's that Class-Five Animator? I tracked the slug here! There's the Big Fish! See what he did?! Give him a new home - in our containment facility! Phew. Good work. That took some doin'.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] Congratulations, Ray, uh... but I'm near Special Collections. Someone you've been wanting to meet again is here.
Ray Stantz: We're on our way! Keep an eye on the twitchy ones: they'll really crease ya if you aren't careful. Keep moving, sport. Roast 'em! We sure don't wanna be trapped in here. Looks like the Gray Lady makes her own reinforcements. Keep your eyes open, team. She's upping the ante.
Winston Zeddemore: [heard from Ray's communicator] Thanks for the warning, Ray. But I have no idea of what you're talking about.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] You may wanna just take the word for it.
Ray Stantz: There she is...quiet, now...let's get a solid scan...
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] I missed that, Ray! Please repeat!
Ray Stantz: Enough with the shushing! Well, at least we're getting closer.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] Could not hear a word of that, Ray!...Ray?!
Ray Stantz: Gives you the creeps, huh? Okay, good job. Come on, kid. We need to get out of here. Come on, kid. Ah Winston, where the heck are you?
Winston Zeddemore: In the periodical section checking the box score from the Knicks game last night. Why?
Ray Stantz: [heard from Winston's communicator] Tell us more about this "Collector", Winston.
Winston Zeddemore: Says here that this Collector used the Gray Lady to get to the rare books in her care - specifically a book called, get this, the Gozerian Codex.
Ray Stantz: [heard from Winston's communicator] Great!
Winston Zeddemore: Yeah. And when she found out what he was up to, she dumped him.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Winston's communicator] Smart lady.
Winston Zeddemore: Not really. Evidently he murdered her for it.
Ray Stantz: [heard from Winston's communicator] Uh-oh.
Winston Zeddemore: The Gray Lady was his first victim, but he killed a bunch more.
Ray Stantz: [heard from Winston's communicator] And let me guess, he collected their bodies, just like he collected books?
Winston Zeddemore: Bingo. Ray, you get to buy me dinner. And here's the last on The Collector. Seconds before he was hanged, he said he would return as Azetlor, some sort of god, to keep watch over the library and every rare book in its collection.
Ray Stantz: [heard from Winston's communicator] Sounds like quite the bookwarm.
Winston Zeddemore: Sounds like the kind we run into all the time.
Ray Stantz: Okay, I'm not saying that's a bad sign: but it sure isn't a good one. Jeez! That'll only hurt for a minute. You hear that? It's around here someplace. Uh-huh, somebody's in here. It's...children! What are they saying? Come out, come out, wherever you are. Oh boy, we're not alone. Oof! Ugh, I gotta be more careful! You alright? I think they're trying to tell us something. What else did Hoover Collect? You got that right, scooter. Here's the place. Special Collections. These rooms are packed with rare & valuable volumes! Shh...almost... Oh, boy. Looks like they're throwing the whole science fiction section at us. Can't blast through the shields!! Their shields! Use the Capture Stream on their shields! Wrangle their shields! Remember how you were saying print was dead?
Egon Spengler: I wish.
Ray Stantz: Now where'd she go?
Egon Spengler: Valences up. She definitely left a trace somewhere... Big spike! Riiiiight...here! [Pulls a book revealing a secret passage]
Ray Stantz: Yeah! Check this out! I feel a breeze...oh, cool! Secret passages! These are great! I didn't even know this area existed.
Egon Spengler: Looks like the janitors didn't, either. For the last eighty years, anyway. What ARE those? I don't recognize them from Tobin's.
Ray Stantz: No, they're in the Revised Catalog. I think the Gray Lady is constructing them from the books and minor spirits here. She may be more powerful than we thought. Take a look at this place! I could spend a month taking inventory of these books!
Egon Spengler: Let's be careful what we wish for down here. Ray.
Ray Stantz: We should tell Winston to get down here. We could probably use his help.
Egon Spengler: I've been trying to raise him. There's too much interference. Ray, I'm not entirely convinced this is the best course of action.
Ray Stantz: Hey! I'll bet this is a trap!
Egon Spengler: Welcome back, Ray. I'm having serious doubts about the structural integrity of this sub-basement.
Ray Stantz: Moving!
Egon Spengler: I'm telling you this sub-structure is unstable! The ceiling could come down on top of us!
Ray Stantz: Our lobe-probe experiment is working! you're clairvoyant!
Egon Spengler: No, I saw the support columns buckle.
Ray Stantz: Creepy.
Egon Spengler: Those beams are wedged solid.
Ray Stantz: Good place for the capture stream.
Egon Spengler: Alright, wrangle that out of the way! That's excellent! Wonder what's down there? Something big. And, more than likely, terrifying.
Ray Stantz: That way. It's really dark down there! Damp, too.
Egon Spengler: Wonderful. Hope you don't have any open cuts. I'm thinking of flesh eating bacteria.
Ray Stantz: That's an electric lock on the door.
Egon Spengler: See if you can find the power.
Ray Stantz: Great! The Recruit found it! Uh. I wonder if it's a good idea to be standing in a foot and a half of water...
Egon Spengler: That didn't last long. I can't say I'm a big fan of the Level 6 Bi-Dimensional Attractor.
Ray Stantz: I'm with you on that. We're lucky there were only some old books for it to manifest with.
Egon Spengler: Recruit, you okay? Let's keep moving.
Ray Stantz: Um...
Egon Spengler: This is cherry. Nice place. Nothing bad could ever happen in here.
[The Gray Lady floats a few feet from them]
Ray Stantz: There she is! Flank her! She's got nowhere to run!
[The Gray Lady goes through the grate]
Ray Stantz: Except through the gate.
Egon Spengler: I'm not clear on how the flanking was supposed to work.
Ray Stantz: Oh boy. Burning coal. Two of them this time!
Egon Spengler: Yeah nice Ray! Tell us again how lucky we are?
Ray Stantz: Phew. We've got to bag the Gray Lady before this gets really dangerous.
Egon Spengler: We may have missed that window, Ray.
Ray Stantz: Well, we can't follow her through the grate. Is there another way? Whatcha find there, Youngblood? Good work! Spengler, the kid found the exit.
Egon Spengler: I added something new to the pack. This is the PDS: Plasm Distribution System. Basically, it's slime blower, Mark II, heavily modified from the earlier version. Your plasm banks are now integrated into the Proton pack. It uses a base culture of ectoplasm that can impair entites, cause caustic Black Slime to go intert, and reveal otherwise invisible ethereal structures that reside on this plane.
Ray Stantz: To use the Slime Blower, just point and squirt. It'll help you neutralize any active patches of Black Slime. It'll close any portals they're opening, too. See! Neutronized Slime.
Egon Spengler: Our own private shortcut to hell. That's convenient.
[A hand shoots out the Gozerian Codex, grabbing the Gray Lady by the face, flings her around like a rag doll, as she screams and is slammed back down in the chair. The Gozerian Codex closes itself as the Gray Lady lays limp, and the Codex opens again, flipping through pages on its own.]
[The Gray Lady resumes reading]
Ray Stantz: Eerie place. I wonder if this is where the Collector killed The Librarian?
Egon Spengler: I think that would be a safe assumption. [scans the Gozerian Codex with the PKE meeter] That book she's reading is emitting massive energy.
Ray Stantz: Ah, that's your cue, Killer. Go get 'em.
Egon Spengler: She took that pretty well; better than I expected.
Ray Stantz: It makes perfect sense if her residual spirit energy is tied to the book. The Gozerian Codex, right? Now that we have it, her echo must have been released. She's gone. I think we helped her cross over.
Egon Spengler: And she just crossed right back.
Ray Stantz: Oh, no.
Egon Spengler: The book stands are generating her shield.
Ray Stantz: Buddy, the podiums - soak 'em! Soak 'em! She is shielding herself with the Codices, go after those first!
Egon Spengler: That's it! She can't regenerate the cage! Keep hitting the book stands! The book stands are generating her shield.
Ray Stantz: That does it! Now let's attack the Librarian straight on! Throw a capture stream on her!
Egon Spengler: That's good! Throw out the trap!
Ray Stantz: Weird. That wasn't as tough as it should have been.
Egon Spengler: I was just thinking the same way.
Ray Stantz: It was almost too easy...like she wants us to have the Codex...
Egon Spengler: Yes, like she wanted us to blast this room apart.
Ray Stantz: But why? Cross-dimensional portal. From the fifth to the fourth. A whole world of ghosts. Something I've dreamt about since College. It's all in the Monarchia Daemonum. Fantastic! Ghostworld.
Egon Spengler: I wouldn't get too excited, Ray. I have a feeling she did it so we could meet an old friend of hers.
Ray Stantz: Well, if we're going...
Egon Spengler: Not much choice, is there? It's the only way out. You. Take the lead. Don't worry, we do this all the time.
Ray Stantz: OH NO, LOOK OUT!
Egon Spengler: Hm. So this is what the Public Library looks like on the far side of a cross-dimensional portal.
Ray Stantz: It's one of infinite potential configurations. You know ...theoretically.
Egon Spengler: Yes, well this looks the Gozerian configuration.
Ray Stantz: Watch out! Black slime! Come on! Let's go! Alright, keep your head down and keep hitting these portals! One of them has gotta lead out!
Egon Spengler: Eh, the scientific method, Ray?
Ray Stantz: Ahhhh! Well that was embarrassing. Looks like a good place for Slime Tether. To stretch a Slime Tether, point and launch the first anchor, then point and shoot the second. The launched slime tether will then contract. The more tethers you attach to a point, the stronger the resulting reaction. Since their ectoplasmic charge has a short half-life, tethers will grow brittle over time and then break. Blast an existing tether with any other equipment type to destroy it. Come on, John Henry. Put your back into it. Ah, yeah! You're on fire, cadet!
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] Ray, it occurs to me that these events are interrelated.
Ray Stantz: The Gozerian Exhibit, the huge energy pulse, the Sedgewick Hotel, the return of the Stay Puft... yeah...
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] Yes, even this. All pointing back to a single point of origin.
Ray Stantz: Ilysa?
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] Ilysa.
Ray Stantz: You think she's a factor in this?
Egon Spengler: [heard from Ray's communicator] Maybe not intentionally, but almost definitely.
Ray Stantz: [heard from Rookie's communicator] Rookie! Are you still there? Watch out! The mirrors aren't what they seem... Nope... nope... not that one. I got a better idea. This one!
Egon Spengler: [heard from Rookie's communicator] The pattern is starting to make sense. I think I'm close to finding the exit.
Ray Stantz: [heard from Rrookie's communicator] Oh-oh! I've got boogeys. Heads up, boys - wherever you are. Huh. Totally inverted.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Rrookie's communicator] Okay, I'm through!
Ray Stantz: [heard from Rookie's communicator] Send a signal we can track you with.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Rookie's communicator] I'll try but it might not work! The last portal I entered was at the top of a long flight of steps.
Ray Stantz: [heard from Rookie's communicator] Made it out, too. Hey, champ, we eon't leave until you find us.
Egon Spengler: [heard from Rookie's communicator] Look for the long staircase. The exit portal is at the very top.
Ray Stantz: [heard from Rookie's communicator] Keep movin, Sport. We sure don't wanna be trapped in here.
Azeltor: [off-screen] Nowumba AZELTOR machachan!
Egon Spengler: [heard from Rookie's communicator] Did you hear that?
Ray Stantz: [heard from Rookie's communicator] Wonder if that's the Collector we're looking for?
Egon Spengler: [heard from Rookie's communicator] I think he goes by 'Azeltor' now.
Ray Stantz: Hey, cadet! Are you okay? Sounds like it's getting closer! I do like what they've done with the place here - but I hoped that portal would have taken us back to the Library.
Egon Spengler: Actually, we are back in the Public Library. The dimensional membrane must be extremely thin here.
Ray Stantz: Someone's holding us here. The Collector.
Egon Spengler: Yes, Azeltor wants to add to his collection. And he's probably not too happy about us taking the Gozerian Codex with us.
Ray Stantz: Oh, yeah? What can a twisted little bookworm do to scare us?
Egon Spengler: He murdered Eleanor Twitty for it when he was alive. And a dozen others just to cover it up.
Ray Stantz: Hey, Collector! We're taking your book! Whaddya think about THAT?! Uh, he's right behind me, isn't he?
Egon Spengler: Yes, I think you got his attention, Ray.
Ray Stantz: Ho boy. He's resisting my proton stream!
Egon Spengler: Look! His face is protected by Black Slime!
Ray Stantz: That must be the key! Hey, Junior, switch out your nozzle and hose him down!
Egon Spengler: Neutronize the Black Slime on his mask!
Ray Stantz: We need to clear that slime of his mask! Use the slime blower, Rook!
Egon Spengler: His shield is too strong! Go for the mask! Clear the slime off his mask!
Ray Stantz: It's clear!
Egon Spengler: Rip his mask off, it looks vulnerable!
Ray Stantz: Yeah, that did it!
Egon Spengler: Oh no, I think we just exposed his eye his angry side.
Ray Stantz: Bring him down all the way... Keep shooting him in the eye if you can, he's got nothing to resist the proton stream! He's out of control! Blast him in the eye, Rook, I think it's working!
Egon Spengler: Hit him in the eye, we've almost got him!
Ray Stantz: Collect some of this, Jerk!
Egon Spengler: Don't question it, Rook! Just blast the glowly part.
Ray Stantz: There it goes,! Bye, Azeltor!
Egon Spengler: We need to get out of here!
Ray Stantz: There's a new portal back here! C'mon rook that's gotta be the way out.
Winston Zeddemore: Guys...? [Statics] Where are you guys? What the hell were you guys?! I've been runnin' all over this library, calling you, looking for you ...nothing!
Egon Spengler: We passed through a cross-dimensional portal into an alternate version of the New York Public Library, and fought a factory a forty foot monster made out of priceless antiques to steal an ancient magical book.
Winston Zeddemore: Oh...well...that would explain it, then. Next time leave a note.
Egon Spengler: Ray, does this means anything to you?
Ray Stantz: Nope, it wasn't here the first time we came through.
Winston Zeddemore: What is it?
Egon Spengler: Not entirely sure. But whatever it is, I think we just turned it off.
Ray Stantz: You thinking what I'm thinking?
Winston Zeddemore: Thin crust New York style with no visible anchovies?
Ray Stantz: Maybe later. Right now I need to go back to the lab and take a look at this Codex.
Egon Spengler: And analyze the data we've collected. It could help us we got to the museum.
Winston Zeddemore: Slice to go on the way? Rookie's treat?
Ray Stantz: And we need to know what's this is.
Winston Zeddemore: I'll call for delivery. Again.
Janine Melnitz: Hello, Ghostbusters. Yes. I don't think so. No. It didn't just stop working and it doesn't just need toner! It literally exploded...after it screamed obscenities at me. No, I don't think the nature of our business has anything at all to do with whether or not you honor your product's warranty. Uh huh. So what you're telling me is that none of your other copiers that you've sold throughout the entire world have screamed and exploded before breaking down? Uh huh. Sir, I have to tell you that I find that very hard to believe. They are willing to believe you...but I wasn't born yesterday. No. Goodbye.
Ray Stantz: Well, it's a great read. But, nothing about that.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: I know that symbol.
Egon Spengler: Huh?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: It show’s up sometimes. In sumerian mutal magic. There's a statue on them in the museum that features it.
Ray Stantz: What does it represent?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Just a symbol. Signifies the path to obtain great power. Most of my colleagues assumed that it was just an old constellation.
Winston Zeddemore: No constellation I ever saw. And I used to tell fortunes on Coney Island.
[Peter Venkman arrives]
Peter Venkman: Is that right? Did you wear a turbert?
Winston Zeddemore: No, man. A red barber cape with moons. It was plush.
Egon Spengler: Get this. The Codex does indicate there was some kind of feeder system required. To channel energy to a destructor form.
Winston Zeddemore: A destructor form. Like Stay Puft?
Egon Spengler: It's entirely possible that system in this pattern are connected.
Ray Stantz: That's possible.
Egon Spengler: Wait. You said the Gozerian Statue at the museum is on loan. From who?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Ivo shandor the Architect. Well The Shandor Foundation. They control Ivo Shandor’s remaining estate and holdings. Ivo was a big collector of Gozerian artifacts.
Winston Zeddemore: By Ivo Shandor, the architect, you mean Ivo Shandor, the genocidal maniac, right?
Dr. Ilyssa Swlwyn: That's what I was researching when Gozer attacked me. Shandor's architecture firm was involved in a number of projects around town in the late 18 and early 1900s.
Egon Spengler: Including Dana Barrett’s old Builing on Central Park West.
Peter Venkman: You mean the one with the extra-dimensional antenna that drew Gozer to our world so he could attempt to destroy it? Had a nice view of the park though.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Yes. But, he also did renovations on existing buildings and a number of public works. There was controversy. Because, a lot of people thought the work was unnecessary.
Winston Zeddemore: Let me guess. He did some renovations on the public library building on fifth?
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Right. And The Museum of Natural History.
Ray Stantz: Recentvations. Specific Localized Paranormal Activity. Singing Vikings?
Egon Spengler: Their all connected to Shandor and this pattern.
Winston Zeddemore: We should warn the Mayor.
Ray Stantz: I don't know he's likely to just sic Peck on us even more.
Egon Spengler: We should get a closer look at the museum.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Well, The Mayor's gonna be at the museum for the Exhibition Opening Gala tonight. It's where I need to be too.
Peter Venkman: Ilyssa, you sure make work a friend for me. It's business casual, okay? I don't have a tux.
Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Are you kidding? He doesn't want you guys within three city blocks of the museum tonight. He thinks you make his campaign contributors nervous. Besides, that Peck guy will be at the party too.
Ray Stantz: Okay, Egon, I'll stay here and finishing analyzing the data from the library. The rest of us will go in by the service entrance of the museum and lay low.
Ray Stantz: Peter can attend the party as Ilysa’s guest and stay in plain sight of Peck.
Winston Zeddemore: And that frees us up to check out the rest of the building.
Peter Venkman: I love this plan. It's just dull enough to work. Il, I'm gonna bring you a crusache.
[Heading down to ECTO-1 to go investigate the Museum]
Janine Melnitz: Egon, our new boss, called again.
Egon Spengler: Please don’t call him that, just Peck. That’s bad enough.
Janine Melnitz: Peck called again. He’s not happy. He says if you guys fire just one more unauthorized proton stream, he’ll shut us down for good.
[After arriving at the Museum]
Ray Stantz: Yes, we just arrived at the loading dock. Keep Peck distracted; we're going to poke around.
Peter Venkman: [Heard from Ray’s communicator] Okay, I'll take one for the team.
Ray Stantz: No sign of the curator; Ilyssa told me he would meet us right here.
Winston Zeddemore: Something wanted out of this box in a big way.
Ray Stantz: Watch out. Black slime. Unchecked it can eventually open a full inter-dimensional portal, an open doorway... and anything that wants to can come through. If a full portal has been opened, it has to be sealed using your Slime Blower. That's the key reason we developed that tech.
Winston Zeddemore: Good work, Eagle-Eye. Look at this. Something's trailed packing material down the hall here.
Ray Stantz: Packing material and slime.
Winston Zeddemore: Was it a possessor?
Ray Stantz: Maybe. Looked like a Level 7 or above, too.
Winston Zeddemore: Didn't we used to fight class two's and three's every now and then? What happened to them? They were easy.
Ray Stantz: Ahh, the good old days. I'm more worried that she'll stir things up around here. I except we'll see her again sooner than we want to. Hello? Who's in there?
Winston Zeddemore: Somebody that wants out, is who.
Ray Stantz: Hey, cadet! Get in here and clear this off please.
Winston Zeddemore: Be ready for anything. Possessors are tricky and powerful.
Ray Stantz: Oh, Dr. Rutherford. Uh, Z, meet the Assistant Curator of the Museum.
Dr. Rutherford: Is that horrible, terrible thing gone?
Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, she's gone. You good?
Dr. Rutherford: I, uh, yes I suppose so. I'm a big fan. I even had you over for my daughter's birthday a couple years ago.
Ray Stantz: Is that so? Well, I think we can get you a sticker or button or mug or T-Shirt or something when we're done here.
Dr. Rutherford: Oh, that would be wonderful. Follow me... we'll go through the restoration department. There it is again! Don't let it get me!
Ray Stantz: Don't you worry. She'll have to go through me first. [Possessed] Mwa ta natch calla worn ormon!!
Dr. Rutherford: Can you help him?
Winston Zeddemore: Hose him down, Youngblood!
Ray Stantz: I'm on your team.
Dr. Rutherford: Alright! You guys are really good!
Winston Zeddemore: Voila! That's fusion-based exorcism in a nutshell. Cleaner than somebody's head spinning all around and barfing pea soup.
Dr. Rutherford: [Referring to Ray being possessed] Will he be okay?
Winston Zeddemore: How you doin', Ray?
Ray Stantz: Hazza buzza. Hazza buzza? Bozza wazza shum.
Winston Zeddemore: Aw, he'll be fine in a second. After you.
Ray Stantz: Oh no. If this place is possessed by, uh, possessors, we'd better get to Peter fast. Venkman! We found the curator! We're on our way to the Gozer exhibit now!
Dr. Rutherford: Oh, there's so much to show you. Where to start? Things gasve been very strange since they started setting up that exhibit.
Peter Venkman: Well, hello there.
Winston Zeddemore: Dig it, Peter. Ray got possessed... again.
Ray Stantz: Awww, Z!
Winston Zeddemore: "You'll have to go through me first': that's exactly what he said!
Peter Venkman: [About Ray being possessed again] Just like a puppy...every day's the first day.
Walter Peck: No, No, NO! I want the Ghostbusters ejected from this facility immediately.
Peter Venkman: Where's his honor, Pecker? We've got news for him...and a photo-op.
Walter Peck: The Mayor is indisposed right now. Anything you need to tell him goes through me.
Peter Venkman: Not happening. Peck-a-bee. This is for Jock and Jock alone. We will wait for him to get redisposal.
Walter Peck: Security! Remove those men...with excessive force.
Winston Zeddemore: Uhhhh... Boys?
Ilyssa : [Floats up and touches the gozerian statue in a T-pose causing all the lights around the statue to blow out and a Possessor ghost swarm to start possessing people left and right]
Peter Venkman: Why do the good ones always play hard to get?
Mayor Jock Mulligan: What in the hell is going on here?!
Winston Zeddemore: They got peck! More possessor ghosts! Kid, you know what to do!
Peter Venkman: Ray...
Ray Stantz: Well I know what not to do.
* Winston Zeddemore: Party's over, folks! Clear the room! Ray, you stay in the back.
* Ray Stantz: Hurts, doesn't it? Let it all out.
* Walter Peck: I'll see you all on Rikers Island for this!
* Peter Venkman: Whoa, take a break! Do you ever shut up?
* Winston Zeddemore: They're attacking the guests!
* Ray Stantz: All right, you guys go after Ilyssa! Be careful. I'll get to Security.
* Peter Venkman: I love this plan!
* Ray Stantz: I'll man the security cameras to triangulate them on the monitors and talk you through.
* Winston Zeddemore: See you soon, Ray. Let's go, guys.
* Ray Stantz: See you soon, guys. Dr. Rutherford? If you'll show me to security?
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Venkman! Get me down form here!
* Peter Venkman: That's our cue.
* Winston Zeddemore: I don't think that guy is planning to be nice to her!
* Peter Venkman: It's a mannequin ambush!
* Winston Zeddemore: Don't bother trying to capture them! Just blast 'em down to nothing!
* Peter Venkman: That was nowhere near fatal. Let's make some noise.
* Winston Zeddemore: Hurry up! Before they get away! Take it to the bridge!
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Winston's communicator) Did Winston just say, 'Take it to the bridge'? What are you guys doing down there?
* Winston Zeddemore: Fewer funny jokes, more getting to the security cameras, please, Ray.
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Oh, my god!
* Winston Zeddemore: Aw, he got away! Get to the Temple! The glowing one! Ray, can you see where they went?
* Ray Stantz: We haven't reached the security office yet! The place is really hopping!
* Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, that's a big 10-4.
* Peter Venkman: Hittie. Menonite. Phoenician. Babylonian. Assyrian.
* Winston Zeddemore: Mesopotamian.
* Peter Venkman: Sumerian.
* Winston Zeddemore: Ahh, he's making it all up.
* Peter Venkman: Just one of those things. Ah, you pick this stuff up. You know, around the office.
* Ray Stantz: Peter, come in.
* Peter Venkman: Hi honey. How was your day?
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Peter's communicator) Men, we've reached the security office. This one is shambles! It's been sabotaged. Black slime all over the place. Only a few of the cameras are still working.
* Peter Venkman: When you're free, no rush, open gate 3487. Just for kicks.
* (Possessor Ghosts attack over Radio)
* Ray Stantz: Whoa! We're under attack! We'll get back to you!
* Winston Zeddemore: Ray, stay away from any possess...
* Ray Stantz (Possessed): KAZZA GORBA SMOTZ CHORZIG GLUMP! FROGA! FROGA!
* Winston Zeddemore: Um, Dr. Rutherford? If you're still there, can you go catch Dr. Stantz, please?
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Winston's communicator) Okay, I shook off that possessor. Found a different security room. Can't find Dr. Rutherford, though. I must've scared him off.
* Winston Zeddemore: You're not pretty when you're possessed, Ray... Seriously.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Winston's communicator) I've got you on the cameras. You should be coming to the Civil War exhibit. Ilyssa just passed through there.
* Winston Zeddemore: Okay, we're on it. Thanks. You know the difference between this exhibit and the other ones? The soldiers in this one have guns. Let's just pass through here as quick as we can, and... Yeah. I didn't really think we could do it, either. I was just thinking happy thoughts, is all.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Winston's communicator) I'm getting heavy interference on the monitors. Are you guys in trouble?
* Winston Zeddemore: Couldn't have been the American Revolutionary War, could it? Or the War of the Roses. Even the War on Drugs. It just had to be this one. Maybe they're just props, but those barrels are marked 'explosive'! Wish this trap had a window; it'd be just like a little Vicksburg snow globe. Let's see you guys fight it out inside that tiny little trap.
* Peter Venkman: Yep. They took some casualties.
* Ray Stantz: We made it to the security office. I can see you guys on the cameras. No sign of Ilyssa or her kidnappers though. In the early 1900's, the museum was run by a board of trustees. Powerful guys, tycoons, captain's of industry. The chairman of the board was Cornelius Wellsley of Internation Steel. The board used the museum as a respectable front of all kinds of dubious activities. Mainly though, they were part of a club run by our favorite evil architect. They hired women from the St. Nicholas Rehabilitation Mission for Wayward Angels. Rumor has it, the board conducted all kinds of nasty rituals using these women.
* Winston Zeddemore: We've gotta find that oozing tub of blubber! And Ilyssa! Well, here we are. The Egypt exhibit. I practically lived here while I was working on my doctorate! Hey folks, it's okay! Be calm. Everything's under control!
* Guy: It's the Ghostbusters! Ghost!
* Peter Venkman: Watch it now.
* Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, of course. The trap locks us in with the ghosts. Wouldn't it be nice to get locked out every now and then? Hey Ray, how do we get out of the Egypt exhibit? The main door is blocked up tight.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Winston's communicator) The Egyptian main room? Check the West wall. There should be a door leading through to the next exhibit.
* Winston Zeddemore: I'm looking right at the Wild Wall, and I don't see a door.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Winston's communicator) Well, I'm looking right at the blueprints, and uh... Oh, I get it. Clever. The ghosts used their own dimensionally anomalous signatures to slightly wrinkle the time-space continuum. The door is still there. What you're seeing is a fold in reality. The ghosts removed the door from this plane of existence.
* Winston Zeddemore: Ah I'm seeing in the paragoggles is a kind of glowing, purple aura. No door.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Winston's communicator) Well, this is an educated guess, but since the ghosts are gone their influence if fading. The anomaly should straighten itself out. Few hours, probably.
* Winston Zeddemore: A few hours? But I gotta...go.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Winston's communicator) Wish I could help ya, Z. But any analysis at this point is strictly theoretical.
* Winston Zeddemore: Okay. But the biological situation I'm experiencing is not theoretical at all.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Winston's communicator) Hm...I suppose, in theory mind you, positively charged slime could dissipate the wrinkle and restore everything to its...
* Winston Zeddemore: Just slime the damn thing! Good! Thank you very much! Now let's get the hell out of here.
* Peter Venkman: Nyhaahh ha ha!
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Winston's communicator) I think I just caught a glimpse of the chairman, too! Watch out for him, he looks like a nasty one!
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Venkman help!
* Peter Venkman: Why do the good ones always play hard to get? Scooter? We need to go, let's roll.
* (Ray Stantz arrives)
* Ray Stantz: Hey guys! Did you find Ilyssa? Where did that ghost go?
* Winston Zeddemore: You didn't see him? But he just came through here!
* Ray Stantz: He must be headed back to the World of Gozer exhibit!
* Peter Venkman: That's our cue. Mmmmmove it.
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: What a nightmare.
* Peter Venkman: Thank you. Not a words a rescuing hero wants to hear from his damsel in distress. May I say your eyes are much prettier when they're not glowing like hot coals.
* Egon Spengler: Peter! I've made an extraordinary frightening discovery.
* Peter Venkman: Why don't you all go away?
* Egon Spengler: All my data indicate that the Ghostworld is beginning to push through multiple cross portals from their dimension into ours.
* Peter Venkman: Well, more overtime.
* Winston Zeddemore: Guys! Look!
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Venkman help!
* Peter Venkman: Now she calls my name! Winston! Get the lady outta here before he hits on her again!
* Mayor Jock Mulligan: Care to tell me why my library, museum and parade are all going down the toilet?!
* Walter Peck: I'm telling you, sir, the Ghostbusters are nothing but scam artists determined to throw a negative light on you and the City... and extort you for money!
* Peter Venkman: Hello Peck. I own that suit in blue.
* Mayor Jock Mulligan: Both of you! Pipe down!
* Egon Spengler: Mr. Mayor, an enormous event is on the horizon.
* Ray Stantz: Something at the Museum exhibit triggered a systemized psychic occurrence. Some mechanism we don't know the nature of yet.
* Walter Peck: No. Of course you don't.
* Egon Spengler: But it's feeding enormous energy somewhere.
* Ray Stantz: Something that's now in the process of breaking down the walls between our world...and another one.
* Egon Spengler: This other world is crossing through into ours. It started with simple ghosts and animated monsters.
* Ray Stantz: Now it's getting bigger. We don't know exactly what's next. But there's only room for one city here in this dimension.
* Egon Spengler: Two physical worlds can't exist in the same space. That's just elementary particle physics.
* Peter Venkman: We got the glimpse of the other world, Jock. It ain't pretty. It's like Brooklyn and the Bronx with no Queens in the middle.
* Egon Spengler: ...whole city blocks sinking into a fifth dimensional abyss!
* Ray Stantz: Cockroaches the size of polo ponies.
* Egon Spengler: Panic in the streets!
* Peter Venkman: How'd you like disco to come back? Bigger than ever.
* Mayor Jock Mulligan: I get it. We're in trouble. So what am I supposed to do?!
* Ray Stantz: We need to prepare the city for the worst.
* Mayor Jock Mulligan: The city's my responsibility, not yours! Now go do your job and stop that thing!
* Ray Stantz: This way, gentlemen.
* Egon Spengler: Well, this looks inviting.
* Winston Zeddemore: I'll be at the office watching over Ilyssa. Don't do anything fun without me.
* Ray Stantz: It probably goes without saying, but this is very strange.
* Peter Venkman: Well, that is your conversation starter. What's strange?
* Egon Spengler: This tunnel network. What could it possibly have been built for?
* Ray Stantz: I was thinking the same thing.
* Peter Venkman: Well, it could just be an old stream tunnel.
* Ray Stantz: No way, Peter. The design and values don't fit for moving stream, water, gas, electric, oil, trains, not even slime.
* Peter Venkman: What about Morlocks?
* Ray Stantz: Morlocks would hate this kind of ornamentation.
* Egon Spengler: I don't recognize the alloy fabrication.
* Peter Venkman: So it's not steam, it's not Morlocks. But there's plenty of ghosts.
* Egon Spengler: You're right about that. There's more consistent, accelrated PKE blowing through here than I've ever seen. But is not the origin point. This is just a conduit.
* Ray Stantz: Look the the trail! The Chairman went that way! He's running down this tunnel!
* Peter Venkman: Does it feel...weird in to you guys? Like, familiar-weird?
* Ray Stantz: Well, we knew which way to go for a while at least. There's got to be another way around this.
* Peter Venkman: The trail leads to this sealed door, then stops.
* Ray Stantz: Man, I do not want this jerkball to get away again! The new cadet's alright.
* Peter Venkman: So far, not too shabby.
* Ray Stantz: Egon. I think this is a good a time as any to install a new CPS. The Meson Collider is extremely precise and deals a lot of damage, but takes a while to recharge. The Overload Pulse disperses a rapid burst of meson particles. You can fire each of them independently: they both work great. But you can also use them in tandem. Paint a target using the Meson Collider. After you've acquired the target, all expulsions from the Overload Pulse will home in on that target. Oh my. So MUCH black slime.
* Peter Venkman: Oh, it just seems like a lot because it's alive.
* Egon Spengler: The column! It's flowing upwards!
* Ray Stantz: If you see a big yellow eye in there, poke it with something!
* Egon Spengler: No yellow eye, Ray!
* Ray Stantz: Maybe it already went up there.
* Egon Spengler: Well. That doesn't sound good.
* Peter Venkman: Is it my turn to lead? I don't want to jump in front.
* Ray Stantz: Hello, Chairman. Ready to get what's coming to you?
* Walter Peck: I've should shuttered you fraudulent gangster forever when I had the chance! You know what? I'm going to put an end to this madness now! Right now! I'm shutting down your containment grid for good! You can kiss off a permanent licence, not to mention any chance for more government contracts! You did this to me, and you're going to pay!
* Ray Stantz: You're welcome, you Peck.
* Walter Peck: Alright! That's it! That's it, you're done, smart guys! You are done, smart, cool guys! I have the authority and I am shutting you and your phony containment grid down NOW! The whole city will have to pay because of your shenanigans. The whole city!
* Peter Venkman: What? But that shuts you down, too.
* Walter Peck: Well, so be it! I have bigger fish to fry. And get him off me!
* Egon Spengler: I think we need to keep an eye on him.
* Peter Venkman: Ya think?
* Egon Spengler: No, I mean, really need to keep an eye on him.
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: You're real heroes.
* Peter Venkman: Kinda routine. As usual, I led the charge.
* Ray Stantz: We're fired heroes. Peck's gonna pull our license.
* Peter Venkman: Get real, Ray. It's the holidays! Nobody in this town is gonna be around to pull our license til Monday. We got the whole weekend to stop this calamity and probably half a dozen others, save the city. We got a four day weekend! We have time left ourselves.
* Janine Melnitz: Dr. Venkman if they start evacuating. Manhattan I won't be coming in on Monday. Catastrophic exodus of the city does not count as a floating holiday. I know, I looked it up. (On Phone) Hello. Mmm, mm-hmm. Oh you don't know the half of it. They have been racing in and out of here since that shockwave hit. How would I know? I'm just here trying to keep the lights on. Sure, I can ask what's going on but then they might actually tell me. What? Yeah I'd say it's pretty big. That shnook from the city isn't helping ease the tension either. Anyway. Going away for Thanksgiving might be on hold until things settle down...yeah, I know. But, we have to roll the Ghostbusters' way. Don't ask. Alright. Goodbye.
* Ray Stantz: What does this symbol mean?
* Winston Zeddemore: Uh, guys... Perfect fit.
* Ray Stantz: It's not a constellation. It's a mandala.
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: I can't believe I never saw it before.
* Peter Venkman: OK, for one minute pretend someone here doesn't know what a Mandala is.
* Egon Spengler: A mandala is like a spiritual labyrinth.
* Ray Stantz: And this one looks like a spiraling system that feeds into each successive node along the line until it reaches a culmination point. Before he died, Shandor must have set some mechanism in place similar to the antenna in Dana's building.
* Peter Venkman: You know, I think you helped to make that clearer. So this was the gizmo that's supposed to feed energy to the destructor form?
* Ray Stantz: That's...that's right, Peter.
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Well! Dr. Venkman!
* Peter Venkman: Well I had to get one right eventually. Didn't I? I mean, it's just math.
* Egon Spengler: Alright, I'm just speculating but it's possible Ghosts are trapped in the system, funneled from node to node, and they get stronger and stronger, until they reach the end, and then they...
* Ray Stantz: Look! The first portal...the library. The second...the museum. And the third...Sedgewick.
* Egon Spengler: And that means the fourth portal must be...right...here.
* Winston Zeddemore: The middle of the Hudson River?
* Ray Stantz: Well, according to the mandala, yes.
* Egon Spengler: It may need a little tweaking.
* Peter Venkman: I don't know, plenty of bodies in that river to become ghosts.
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: But what does this have to do with me? What did I do?
* Ray Stantz: You were at the museum and the Sedgewick.
* Egon Spengler: Maybe you were some sort of catalyst... accidentally setting things in motion.
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: You're saying this is my fault?
* Peter Venkman: You are blameless! What Egon meant to say was that you have some sort to connection and find out what. Isn't that brianiac?
* Egon Spengler: That's right, Peter.
* Ray Stantz: Ilyssa, do you remember where you were going when you were at the Sedgewick?
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: I was just standing outside a room... 1221. Something was compelling me to go in, but I woke up just before the door opened. I ran out there as fast as I could. And then some jerk tried to pick me up on the elevator.
* Peter Venkman: Okay, you need to stay here, where it's safe, and where you can't set off any more crossdimensional shockwaves, hot stuff. Here, read up on the mandala, and the boys will check out the Sedgewick.
* Winston Zeddemore: The boys? And what about you, superstar?
* Peter Venkman: I'm gonna have you drop me off near Peck's office. Something tells me he's not quite what he seems.
* Ray Stantz: Good idea. Meet us at the hotel when you're done.
* Vigo: Have you savored the exquisite anguish to tortured souls? Salty... You'll be squirming soon enough. Enough! Pay tribute to Lord Vigo, peasant. You win this round, Ghostbusters. That was almost a painful as being stabbed and pulled apart...ermmmmm, but perhaps not.
* Winston Zeddemore: Whoa. If this place were any more dead, we'd need a coroner.
* Ray Stantz: Egon used to be licensed coroner.
* Winston Zeddemore: No kidding?
* Egon Spengler: It's just a hobby now.
* Winston Zeddemore: Closed until further notice by the Paranormal Contracts Oversight Commission.
* Ray Stantz: PCOC!
* Winston Zeddemore: Entrance into this establishment is strictly forbidden and is punishable by fine and imprisonment.
* Egon Spengler: What now? Hmm.
* Ray Stantz: This notice is for the general public. It doesn't apply to us. We're bonded contractors for the city!
* Winston Zeddemore: Especially the Ghostbusters.
* Ray Stantz: Alright heat' em up. We'll met our way in.
* Egon Spengler: Wait! I have a better idea. Hmm. This is disappointing.
* Winston Zeddemore: No. Disappointing is the Jets losing in the last two minutes. Not being covered in slime by phantom ghouls out to kill us... doesn't exactly make me reach for a hanky. Why'd they shut down? You guys didn't bang the place up that bad last time you were here.
* Ray Stantz: If this place is a mandala node, a few brunt walls and broken ceilings are the last thing anybody's...
* Egon Spengler: And smashed furniture, broken chandeliers, destroyed paintings, shattered vases, probably some minor structural damage...
* Ray Stantz: Thanks, Egon. My point being that there's more to worry about here than some minor cosmetic issues.
* Egon Spengler: Definitely a mandala node.
* Ray Stantz: If we don't shut down Shadnor's Mandala soon, most of Manhattan will become as vacant as this. Not to mention also becoming a bastion of absolute, mind-mumbling horror of centuries to come.
* Winston Zeddemore: Hey! I definitely don't lay out two grand a month for a 600 square foot walk-up to live in a bastion! Let's get to work. It's an ambush! Get 'em hot!
* Ray Stantz: Wait a minute...wait! I don't think they're a threat. They may only be residual hauntings.
* Egon Spengler: I think Ray's right. They haven't crossed entirely into this dimension. They're just psychokinetic echoes. Ghosts of ghosts. Completely harmless.
* Winston Zeddemore: Great. I was hoping to meet a friendly ghost some day, but I'll settle for 'harmless' right now.
* Egon Spengler: I'm getting a strong valence spike higher up in the building.
* Ray Stantz: Ilyssa said she was called to the 12th floor. Let's start there. This way. Come on, let's go!
* Winston Zeddemore: Nothing.
* Ray Stantz: They'd have shut down the power when they closed.
* Winston Zeddemore: Can we take the stairs?
* Egon Spengler: Well, we can try climbing but the last time we were here, a level three animator took out the bottom of the staircase.
* Ray Stantz: Yeah, that's right. I forgot you weren't here last time, Winston. So no stairs, no elevators... Did you hear something?
* Winston Zeddemore: Over there! C'mon!
* Ray Stantz: I think we're dealing with a Level Five Anchored Ambusher! Be careful.
* Winston Zeddemore: It went to the stairwell! We've got it cornered!
* Woman: (off-screen) Help!
* Ray Stantz: This is just how a Level Five Anchored Ambusher lures you in! The Manager? What are you doing here?
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: Ghosts! Monsters! Everywhere!
* Winston Zeddemore: There's was another voice - woman screamed. Are you alone in here?
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: Look, I just said 'ghosts and monsters everywhere.' Does that sound like I'm alone?
* Ray Stantz: He meant people.
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: Then, yes...I think so. Aaaaah!
* Ray Stantz: Well, I guess that explains it.
* Egon Spengler: Sir, there's no need to fear. These are just shadows; echoes of actual ghosts. They can't hurt you.
* Winston Zeddemore: Come with us sir, we can lead you to safety.
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: My God!
* Winston Zeddemore: Someone you know.
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: I...don't know. Most of the old staff knows the story of the Spider Witch, a professional widow who did unimaginable things in a room on the 12th floor back in the 1920's.
* Egon Spengler: what are you still doing here? Why don't you evacuate with everyone else?
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: I came back last night to retrieve some payroll records, but the hotel won't let me out! The doors shut on me! And the phones are down too.
* Winston Zeddemore: That means we're trapped now too. And we have to hope that Peter figures out we're missing? There goes the weekend.
* Egon Spengler: Not necessarily. The 12th floor is apparently the core of this node. If we can get the power back on, we can take the elevators.
* Winston Zeddemore: If the elevators don't eat us.
* Egon Spengler: Yes, if the elevators don't eat us.
* Ray Stantz: Where are the circuit breakers for this place? We don't have a lot of time.
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: Uh...breakers. In my office. But the city came and turned off most of our power after the electrical fire on the 3rd floor. There's no way to turn it back on from here.
* Egon Spengler: That's inconvenient.
* Winston Zeddemore: We've gotta find some way to get the elevators moving.
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: There's a backup generator in the unity room off the kitchen. It's for emergency blackouts.
* Ray Stantz: Perfect. Let's give it a try. To the kitchen!
* Egon Spengler: I guess of them apparently fulminate to this plane. It doesn't seem like they're happy about it.
* Winston Zeddemore: Right! Now, let's find that backup generator.
* Ray Stantz: The kitchen. Is it through here?
* Egon Spengler: Yes, just down the hall. Hello? Anyone there?
* Ray Stantz: Alright, guys, spread out. The utility room should be around here somewhere.
* Winston Zeddemore: In some dark, scary corner.
* Egon Spengler: I know I've said this before, but be careful. I don't think we're alone.
* Winston Zeddemore: This place is wrecked. Did you and Venkman do all this when you were chasing Slimer?
* Ray Stantz: No, this is a lot worse than the way could have left it. This is the work of something big.
* Winston Zeddemore: When you say 'big' do you mean 'big-big?'
* Ray Stantz: Mm-hm. At the very least. Maybe even bigger.
* Winston Zeddemore: That sounds pretty big. The manager said there was a generator room around here somewhere look for a door. It has to be around here somewhere. Keep an eye out for a sign.
* Ray Stantz: Look! Cadet found the emergency generator!
* Winston Zeddemore: Look around for a switch or something to start it up.
* Ray Stantz: What's it look like?
* Egon Spengler: Probably like a switch. Or something that would start up a generator.
* Ray Stantz: All right, Egon. But you should know I'm keeping score.
* Egon Spengler: What did I say?
* Ray Stantz: There's a lot of water on the floor. Watch out for the static discharge when you activate the generator.
* Winston Zeddemore: You mean to say he could be electrocuted after the power is back on?
* Ray Stantz: Could happen. Outside chance. Ah! Sweet music! Uh-oh.
* Egon Spengler: I recommend not stepping into the water.
* Winston Zeddemore: That sounds like an excellent recommendation.
* Ray Stantz: Looks like that power cable is causing all the trouble.
* Winston Zeddemore: Get it out of the water, then!
* Ray Stantz: I know this much: we're trapped down here like rats until that cable's out of the water.
* Winston Zeddemore: How about some slime tethering?!
* Egon Spengler: Put it out of there! Slime Tether!
* Winston Zeddemore: Slime Tether!
* Egon Spengler: Come on, kid. The elevators should be working. Unless something...nevermind. Let's get back to the lobby.
* Ray Stantz: Listen! What's that smell?
* Winston Zeddemore: Over there! C'mon!
* Ray Stantz: Look out! It's the late shift!
* Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, but this is just the help! Where's the boss? I can't believe I just said it out loud!
* Ray Stantz: I know that guy! It's the mass poisoner, Chef DeForrest! So: nobody eat anything in here! Even if you're really hungry!
* Winston Zeddemore: I'm about to swallow my own tongue, Ray. Will that be okay? All right. The kitchen is clean. Let's get back to the elevators.
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: Thank god you're here!
* Ray Stantz: Everything checks out here.
* Egon Spengler: Okay, it looks like the psycho-mass has come to rest about 190 feet above our heads.
* Ray Stantz: The 13th floor.
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: This hotel has no 13th floor! None of the guard old hotels do!
* Winston Zeddemore: Man's got a strong argument.
* Ray Stantz: We'll split the difference. Egon, you and the Tenderfoot go to the 12th floor. Winston and I will check out the 14th. (To Sedgewick Hotel Manager) Sir, if you'll please come with us.
* Egon Spengler: Fine. But stay on contact. This place is extraordinary dangerous. Well, let's see what's on the twelfth floor.
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Egon's communicator) Ego, what were you saying eariler about the mandala node?
* Egon Spengler: You mean why do we keep seeing new ghosts?
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Egon's communicator) Yeah.
* Egon Spengler: Okay. Think of the mandala as a city bus line. At the bus station, ghosts, or waiting passengers, are drawn into the system here and trapped. The concentrates their PK energy which is then eventually forced through to the next node, or 'station,' and so on, until it all ends at a final terminus. At each successive bus station, the station manager, or Node Guardian, stronger, so that it can keep the ghosts in line and destroy anyone who comes to the station to interfere with the flow. These nodes or bus stations gather the power used to feed a central point thus creating a much longer threat to our world. Does that make more sense now?
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Egon's communicator) TTTC. Totally Trapped Transit Company.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Egon's communicator) Yeah, you were going strong right up until the passengers got trapped inside the bus station.
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Egon's communicator) When is my performance review, again? I deserve more stock options.
* Ghost Guy: I say, young lady, you are full of surprises! After you, my dear!
* Egon Epengler: Well. That was terrifying. Be extremely careful. This is likely to be a point of dangerous concentration. Odd. It's coming from everywhere and nowhere. Impossible to get a significant fix. Ray, come in. Are you there?
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Egon's communicator) Egon. What happened? We lost you for a minute there.
* Egon Spengler: We had a close contact.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Egon's communicator) I've got some more information on the Spider Witch ghost. Manager says authorities never found her but...
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: (heard from Egon's communicator) The bodies were hung from the ceiling! They were drained a blood and dragged around!
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Egon's communicator) He says the victims were in a pretty bad state.
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: (heard from Egon's communicator) The walls were painted in blood! Furniture was half chewed and crushed and piled in a corner like a giant nest!
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Egon's communicator) She seems to have vandalized the room badly too.
* Egon Spengler: Hm. I don't want to be hung from a ceiling and drained of blood.
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Egon's communicator) I want to tell you this: I do NOT want to be found in bad state... OR vandalized.
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: (heard from Egon's communicator) I think that sentiment unanimous.
* Egon Spengler: Ray! Come in!
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Egon's communicator) Yeah, what's up?
* Egon Spengler: What was the Spider Witch's room number?
* Sedgewick Hotel Manager: 1221. After her spree, it was locked up. Until about five years ago when we remodeled.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Egon's communicator) Hear that? Room 1221. I think that...Hey!
* Egon Spengler: Let's keep moving.
* The Spider Witch Ghost: (off-screen) Oh, greet our visitors. The Chairman sends the little spirits to me. They love me. They make me strong.
* Egon Spengler: The floor is undergoing significant metamorphics. Ghostworld is aggressively encroaching on ours. It's not even utilizing a portal. This is very bad.
* Ghost Guy: (off-screen) My ankles? Goodness, we hardly know each other! No, I... Who... what are you?! No...! Help! No! Please...AAAAAHHHHHHHH!
* Egon Spengler: It's the Ghostworld crossing through! Happening sooner than we expected! It looks like this is where this node is focused! We could use some help! - into radio) - Ray, are you there?! Come in, Ray?! Looks like it's up to us...let's find 1221 and finish this.
* The Spider Witch Ghost: (off-screen) Come play with my friends.
* Egon Spengler: Look behind you. Let's keep moving.
* The Spider Witch Ghost: (off-screen) Oh, you've come to play games? Oh, I know a lot of games.
* Egon Spengler: 1220... 1222. No. 1221. Where is it? 1221 has to be here. Never trust the naked eye in this work. I'm sure it's here, even if we can't use it. Well, this looks inviting. I don't like the look of this, but we've run out of options.
* The Spider Witch Ghost: (off-screen) Come to me, little man. Don't be afraid.
* Egon Spengler: We aren't alone.
* The Spider Witch Ghost: (off-screen) Which one are these? These are not mine. Everyone here is mine. The quiet men, the angry men, the hungry men, the scuttling ones... Yes! Now you are here and that means you are mine. This won't hurt a bit. You're going to feel a tiny prick. Don't be shy. I like shy boys. Come and find me if you can!
* Egon Spengler: Heads up!
* The Spider Witch Ghost: (off-screen) This is for you! Oh, are you flirting with me? Oh, you've come to play games? Oh, I know lots of games. Oh, I don't think so. I'm so weak... You. Hurt me? Silly men. Come play with my friends. Oh, tear them apart!
* Egon Spengler: Look...the Mandala Map! Ray, Winston, come in. You there?
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Egon's communicator) Egon! What happened? You alright?
* Egon Spengler: The Recruit found the 13th Floor and we shut it down. PKE levels are back to acceptable parameters. This node of the mandala is fully neutronized.
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Egon's communicator) Alright!
* Ray Stanz: (heard from Egon's communicator) Where are you? We went back down to the 12th floor and couldn't find anything. Everything seems pretty normal.
* Egon Spengler: Looks like we're back in the Ruby Ballroom. We'll meet you at Ecto-1.
* (At Outside)
* Peter Venkman: Egon, remind me. Why are we driving aimlessly in the fog?
* Egon Spengler: The final node, Venkman. Close it and we seal the Mandala, trapping the ghosts inside.
* Peter Venkman: Sorry to break this to you, Egon. But I just don't see the Mandala...
* Egon Spengler: You were saying?
* Ray Stantz: Shandor Island...it's here! It's too unstable. I'm going to have to drop you guys and circle. If Ecto-8 sinks, we're sunk too.
* Peter Venkman: Ray, since you're the most excited about going to ghost island, why don't I just take the boat? I thought I was making a nice gesture, and you're giving me the suspicious look. Drop it instantly. Let's get going, because nobody enjoys rushing headlong towards their death more than this fellow.
* Winston Zeddemore: What's this story behind this place, Egon?
* Egon Spengler: The Shandors owned this island for generations. This castle was built in the 1860s. Ivo Shandor used it as a refuge, a lab, and a temple for he and other cult members to worship Gozer.
* Peter Venkman: Hmm.
* Winston Zeddemore: Okay, that's all well and good. But can someone explain to me how an entire island sinks?
* Egon Spengler: The night the last Shandor died, there was a huge tidal surge and the river just swallowed the island whole. Shandor consecrated the island to Gozer, and the Ghostworld reclaimed it.
* Peter Venkman: Mm-Hm.
* Winston Zeddemore: City's lucky it's in the middle of the river instead of Rockfeller Center.
* Egon Spengler: We're lucky now. But soon the Ghostworld will continue to assert itself into ours, and the damage will be incalculable.
* Peter Venkman: Hm. Just another screwed up day at the office.
* Egon Spengler: It appears that we need to take that staircase to get inside.
* Winston Zeddemore: That's a big hole, guys. Am I am not swimming in the Hudson River in November. So, how do you want to get across?
* Egon Spengler: Maybe that crane still works.
* Peter Venkman: Well. If you could that from over there to over here...make the world a better place.
* Winston Zeddemore: So the fossilized boat wasn't enough? Now you want to activate some pre-Colombian deathtrap machinery?
* Egon Spengler: Pro-Colombian deathtrap machinery utilizes an entirely different principle.
* Winston Zeddemore: Well, I don't see any controls on that crane. How can we get it to move? Hey! What about the slime tether!?
* Peter Venkman: Don't be timid.
* Winston Zeddemore: Look at that! Rookie moved the crane!
* Egon Spengler: Alright, swing it around!
* Winston Zeddemore: Almost! Work it over this way to cover the hole!
* Egon Spengler: Bring it in! Almost there! Whoa! Great!
* Peter Venkman: Yo! New guy!
* Winston Zeddemore: Good work! Oh!
* Peter Venkman: You alright? What's with you? You know we only get paid if we live.
* Egon Spengler: Recruit, you okay? Let's keep moving.
* Peter Venkman: Careful, we don't wear helmets.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Guys? There's way too much dangerous debris falling in here. I've gotta take Marine Ecto-8 where it's safer.
* Winston Zeddemore: Don't get too far, Ray. If we need you, we're gonna need you really fast!
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Aye-aye, Z. Raise me on the horn if you need me!
* Winston Zeddemore: Now he's Captain Ahab. Be careful, Ray.
* Egon Spengler: Let's keep moving. We'll find a place where Ray can put in to get us later.
* Winston Zeddemore: (Whistles) Check this joint out.
* Egon Spengler: That's a three-million dollar view, even by Manhattan standards.
* Peter Venkman: My apartment used to look like this.
* Egon Spengler: Shandor's public architectural style ranged from Federal to Art Deco. His personal tastes, however, obviously leaned toward the Gozerian.
* Winston Zeddemore: Oh, now I see what they mean by early demonic.
* Egon Spengler: There's an open door.
* Winston Zeddemore: Hey! We know these guys.
* Egon Spengler: That explains why they attacked us in Times Square: they're gargoyles from Shandor buildings.
* Winston Zeddemore: Guess Ivo would be tickled pink to know his old security system still works so long after he died.
* Peter Venkman: Ahh... guys.
* Winston Zeddemore: That's a lot of... whatever they are! Look. The door's controlled by that chain!
* Peter Venkman: Hey you. You're up, buddy!
* Egon Spengler: Okay, cadet. Your first... I've got your back. Did you know that hedge mazes are historically designed to conceal a secret shortcut?
* Winston Zeddemore: Well there's still one crank that works down here, try using it to open the door.
* Peter Venkman: Egon. Winston. Can we get outta here?
* Winston Zeddemore: The door look it's connected to that crank, see if you can get it turn. Wind the chain!
* Peter Venkman: Come on. Today.
* Winston Zeddemore: Keep going! You're getting closer! That did it! The door's wide open! Get back up here!
* Peter Venkman: Yeah, that'll work.
* Egon Spengler: Hm. I take it we're not welcome.
* Winston Zeddemore: Yeah? There's a first. I'm gonna get us all name badges that say 'Hello. I'm not welcome.' Or maybe t-shirts. Or coffee mugs. Ilyssa. I see her.
* Peter Venkman: You and me both. She's wearing just a simple terrycloth robe. And she's brought me coffee.
* Winston Zeddemore: That's her, all right. Spitting image.
* Egon Spengler: The resemblance is uncanny. This is Ivo Shandor's mother, painted in 1885.
* Winston Zeddemore: Wait. What? Ilyssa is Shandor?
* Peter Venkman: Why does this always happen to me? I meet a girl. She's crazy about me. But she always turns out be some kind of unbelievable fixer upper!
* Egon Spengler: This is all making sense. Ilyssa must have inadvertently triggered the Mandala because she has Shandor blood.
* Peter Venkman: She doesn't know it. When I did her profile, she told me she was adopted.
* Winston Zeddemore: Some coincidence, huh?
* Peter Venkman: You don't really believe this happened by accident?
* Winston Zeddemore: No. Someone must have known and set this up.
* Egon Spengler: The Mayor did say that Peck personally recommended Ilyssa to be the guest curator of the Gozer Exhibit.
* Winston Zeddemore: Once a Peck, always a Peck. Shandor must have been employed hundreds of workers for years to build this place!
* Egon Spengler: The supports are waterlogged, the mortar is decrepit, and the foundation is shattered. In purely physical terms, there's no way all this can be still standing.
* Winston Zeddemore: You sound like you look surprised.
* Egon Spengler: No. Not really. It's beautiful, in a horrific way.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Rookie's communicator) You can't deny the pure genius of Shandor, it's a pity that it was all used for evil. If he would have just channeled some of it for good, the things could have done.
* Egon Spengler: Posthumous Black Mass.
* Winston Zeddemore: What? People still worshipping? Even after they're dead? That's a powerful church, man.
* Egon Spengler: That might explain how these structures are still standing!
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Egon's communicator) Oh, yeah! Ethereal stability induced by sheer focused concentration of posthumous will! Unbelievable!
* Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, right. Unbelievable. is that you can still use that word in context.
* Peter Venkman: This is gravy.
* Winston Zeddemore: It is officially time for us to go. (Whistles) Check this joint!
* Egon Spengler: Unless my sensory array is malfunctioning, that is definitely the place we're looking for.
* Peter Venkman: Hey, where'd the caddy go? Yo! Cool-breeze! Come on out!
* Egon Spengler: Peter Behind you!
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Rookie's communicator) No! Get back! Take your imaginary hands off me, man!
* Egon Spengler: (heard from Rookie's communicator) No! There's too many of them!
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Egon! They got Egon bring him back here! Kid! Help us!
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Okay you need to get to the others so they can help you, please be careful we don't know what we are dealing with yet, but it sounds big and when big things attack it hurts.
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Hey, Rook! I'm trapped in a dark place. Can barely move my arms. Can you find me? I think you're getting closer to me, the sounds are getting louder. You know, I always did like you more than the others did. Keep looking, man. I've got to be around somewhere in here! Hey! In here! Give me a hand! Hey, thanks, man! I was seriously cramping up in there. This is all looking familiar. Ray would be giggling right now. This must be where all the mood slime came from. Look! They must've pumped it straight into the sewers from here. Let's go find Egon... then we'll think about finding Peter. Shandor's cult was working some scary experiments in here. There's blue slime, pink slime, yellow slime. But every ghost in here is coated' with black slime. What's generating it all? Where's it all coming from? Being dead for 80 years sure hasn't improved these guys' disposition any. I'm not sure which one of you shoved me in that crate, but you all owe me a big apology! You picked the wrong side, ghost. Shandor isn't here to help you now, is he?! This is the kind of stuff that really shows well on your review. I think you are really turning some heads back at headquarters. Man, what are these spooks up to in here? I get the whole Mandala-immortality-and power thing, but what's up with all the slime science?
* Egon Spengler: (heard from Rookie's communicator) I think I hear you guys. Yes, that sounds like my equipment. You are getting close. Get me out of this thing. I don't want to be eaten by black slime.
* Winston Zeddemore: Egon, hang on, we are almost to you!
* Egon Spengler: Thank you. This is going to reflect well on your performance review. In most cases I find close proximity to mildew simulating. That was a little much, though. Have you seen Venkman?
* Winston Zeddemore: Well, you know...
* Egon Spengler: Have you looked for him?
* Winston Zeddemore: Well..you know...
* Egon Spengler: The meter seems to indicate that he's somewhere in this direction. This machinery indicates an astounding level of sophistication. Pure evil notwithstanding. Ivo Shandor was far ahead of his time. You know, I have to take my hat off to Shandor. This lab was built how many years ago? It's truly impressive. It's likely Shandor was THE parapsychology expert of his time.
* Winston Zeddemore: Stay in the light, Egon.
* Egon Spengler: I'm trying, Winston.
* Winston Zeddemore: Should we try to find Peter, or...?
* Egon Spengler: They probably stashed him around here somewhere.
* Peter Venkman: (off-screen) Help! Yo, a little help!
* Winston Zeddemore: Shh! I think I hear him!
* Peter Venkman: (off-screen) Did somebody call a break?
* Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, that's Venkman, all right. Now. We're sue about this, right?
* Egon Spengler: We need to be at full strength to shut down this Noble.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Way to go! I feel a momentum swing here in our favor, get out there and find mandala node and shut it down. That should really piss someone off.
* Peter Venkman: Hey. I got places to go, people to meet. Can we move outta here?
* Winston Zeddemore: What are they doing?
* Egon Spengler: The readings are as big as those at the library when we crossed over. I think it's safe to assume that the machine they're working on was not built for a benign purpose. It's an orrery; a device typically used for predicting planetary alignment. In this case it appears to actually be aligning dimensions.
* Winston Zeddemore: I for one do not want the dimensions to align. Not this close to Christmas.
* Egon Spengler: That would put a damper on the holidays.
* Winston Zeddemore: How do we shut that thing down?
* Egon Spengler: The motion of those devices seems to be generating some sort of energy. Hart to tell, though.
* Winston Zeddemore: What if we tried locking those things down?
* Egon Spengler: I cab calculated 54 different outcomes. In three of them, we survive.
* Winston Zeddemore: That beats our usual odds.
* Egon Spengler: Unfortunately, you're correct. Let's do it.
* Winston Zeddemore: It looks like the movement of those spheres is stabilizing the interior structure. What if they stopped moving? So far this goofy island has been a slime tether amusement park. Why should that change now? Lock those sphere's down, man! We gotta stop those balls from moving! I mean...aw, you know what I mean. Yes! You did it! How come people smart enough to use science always try to take over this Universe? Huh? Egon? Ray? Anyone...didn't think so.
* Egon Spengler: Wait. Those planets are aligning. I'm not so sure this is the safest course of action. I think we found the source of the black slime, Winston.
* Winston Zeddemore: I wasn't that curious! The whole room's filling up! Get to higher ground!
* Egon Spengler: Alright, gentlemen. It's official: this was a bad idea.
* Peter Venkman: Shh! Here comes the big finale.
* Winston Zeddemore: Ugh! The stench is horrible!
* Peter Venkman: Smells like the Fulton fish market when they've got fish. Wait, I know that dumpster.
* Egon Spengler: A putrid mass of hatred, bile, and anger.
* Winston Zeddemore: Not exactly, Mr. Sunshine is he?
* Peter Venkman: This is the part where do what we do! Blow it back to the cradle.
* Egon Spengler: Yow! Get him in the eyes!
* Winston Zeddemore: Hit his eyes, rookie!
* Peter Venkman: Hey. You lookin' at me?
* Egon Spengler: We've got to cut off his Visine.
* Peter Venkman: Somebody chop some onions!
* Winston Zeddemore: Give me the evil eye, huh? It's got to be vulnerable somewhere!
* Egon Spengler: Statistically speaking, that's not entirely accurate!
* Winston Zeddemore: Statistically speaking, we better hope it is!
* Egon Spengler: Okay! Fair enough! What about that that inaccessible anterior nodule?
* Winston Zeddemore: The glowly thing on its head? That is its head, isn't it?
* Egon Spengler: I'm not sure that matters! How can we get to it?
* Winston Zeddemore: Hey! Rookie! Run around and look delicious, will you?
* Egon Spengler: There it is! Concentrate your fire at that node!
* Winston Zeddemore: Hit it right there! It doesn't look like that at all!
* Egon Spengler: He's taking the bait!
* Peter Venkman: And that is all she wrote.
* Egon Spengler: All the nodes are closed. The ghosts are trapped in the Mandala.
* Winston Zeddemore: Right where they belong! Our boy Ivo Shandor didn't factor in that he was messin' with the Ghostbusters! Ha ha HA!
* Peter Venkman; Yeah. Peck made the same mistake. We're gonna have a long talk with him.
* Egon Spengler: Don't forget that Peter's girlfriend is a Shandor. I'm gonna have a...a very long talk with her.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Rookie's communicator) You guys need to get down to the shore, and fast! I don't know how much longer I can hold her - the whole island's sinking!
* Winston Zeddemore: Ray, keep the motor running! We are coming at you fast! Peter! Get out of there!
* (After defeating Juvenile Slor)
* Ray Stantz:(Wasn't with the rest of the group) How was it!? Was it cool!? What did it look like!? Did you get any samples!? Did it have multiple eyes!?
* (Other Ghostbusters turn to face Ray Stantz with ticked faces)
* Egon Spengler: Shut up.
* Janine Melnitz: Oh, thank god you're here!
* Ray Stantz: What's going on, Janine? Where's Ilyssa?
* Janine Melnitz: She's gone! They took her! One minute everything was fine, the next it was chaos! Ghosts flying everywhere!
* Egon Spengler: Janine, slow down! Start from the beginning.
* Janine Melnitz: Okay. Well, I was a little late this morning because one of the heels on my favorite pair of pumps broke and Lester's was out of my favorite tea, You know how I love my chamomile. Well, a-and...
* Peter Venkman: Okay, maybe not the beginning. Start when things went haywire around here.
* Janine Melnitz: Okay, okay. Somebody jumped me from behind. And before I passed out, I heard Ilyssa struggling and yelling, 'No'! And the last thing I remember was the screams of the dead and damned echoing in my brain!
* Peter Venkman: So either there was a mass escape from Rikers...
* Egon Spengler: ...or someone shut down our containment grid. Again.
* Ray Stantz: Again?
* Winston Zeddemore: Just like Peck threatened to do.
* Peter Venkman: It's funny. I always knew that Peck was a pencil-necked, bureaucratic prick. But I never pegged him as an evil occultist.
* Ray Stantz: But where did he take her?
* Winston Zeddemore: And where are all the ghosts? 'Cause, no offense, but if all the ghosts we're ever caught just escaped, I'm clocking out.
* Ray Stantz: Yeah, they would be awfully mad at us.
* Winston Zeddemore: Exactly. It's generally a bad idea for the guards to hang out in the cell blocks just after a prison break.
* Reporter: (On TV) This just in: as authorities continue to supervise the Thanksgiving evacuation of Manhattan, increasingly powerful tremors are rocking are rocking Central Park. The question is: where are the Ghostbusters?
* Peter Venkman: Tell you what... Kind of a nice day. Why don't we go to Central Park? Could round up some ghosts, save the girl... get back in time for a nap?
* Ray Stantz: Okay! The Ghostbusters ride again!
* Janine Melnitz: (On Phone) Oh, hi. Really? Mm-hmm. So I told him that if they start evacuating Manhattan, that I don't plan on coming in on Monday. And he says... and he says I've already used all my floating holidays this year... Right? I tell him, "Dr. Venkman. Catastrophic exodus of the city doesn't count as a floating holiday." No, it doesn't. I looked it up. So he hands me the employee handbook and tells me to look again, and that what is and isn't covered is very clearly defined. What? Yeah it was in there! In his handwriting...in pencil! He wrote it in when he asked me to get his coffee. Anyway, I can take a half-day on Monday if they evacuate the city. Alright. Goodbye.
* Vigo: Mha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Look deep inside yourself and ask if this was a true victory.
* (At Outside)
* Winston Zeddemore: Just once, I wouldn't mind running with these other fools away from the trouble.
* Peter Venkman: Where's the fun in that?
* Egon Spengler: Any guesses on where we'll find Peck and Ilyssa?
* Ray Stantz: I suspected that we're going to need the Super Slammer up there. No telling how powerful Peck has grown.
* Winston Zeddemore: That means we gotta take the Ecto-1. I'll drive.
* Peter Venkman: Ah!
* Ray Stantz: Junior's pretty spry, even with that hundred pounds of Proton Accelerator.
* Peter Venkman: Oww! That was, that was 'oww' there!
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Hoss, you alright? How's that gate coming? Wow! Look at the storm system building above that tower!
* Egon Spengler: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Remember the last time we saw that kind of atmosphere disturbance?
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Rookie's communicator) That's right. I don't get it. We shut down the mandala. How can all this still be happening?
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Rookie's communicator) In the Gozerian Codez it's written that a blood sacrifice and a tremendous amount of spiritual energy are needed to generate the Supreme Destructor Form.
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Rookie's communicator) A Destructor Form again?
* Egon Spengler: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Peck probably couldn't draw sufficient energy from the mandala before we shut it down. He found an alternate source in our containment unit.
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Rookie's communicator) The energy of the escape ghosts from our grid might be enough to produce a cross-dimensional event in itself.
* Egon Spengler: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Yes, and with Ilyssa here, I'm sure her Shandor ancestors aren't far behind.
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Earthquakes... great. Could plague, pestilence, and death be far behind?
* Ray Stantz: (heard from Rookie's communicator) I'd bet on it. Speed it up there, tiger.
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Yeah, we don't want to stand here all day.
* Ray Stantz: I'll go with the intern. Nobody should wander around alone in this place. We'll meet you guys a little further on. You saw 'em too, didn't ya? They think they're sneaky. Let's spread out and flank 'em. It's not alone! Run! "Flanking" means I got this way, and you go that way. I know you're new, but that's basic stuff. All right, Youngblood. It's all you. There's the key! It's too heavy to carry ourselves. Get it back to the gate so we can keep going! Wait a minute. Oh... I get it now. This has been bugging me. When the necromantic shockwave summoned Gozer back to our plane, why didn't he assume a more effective Destructor from immediately? I mean the Marshmallow Man is scary, sure, but there has to be a better way to destroy the world. It's simple... When he enters our plane of existence, he must be locked into that form from our first encounter. One Destructor form per god, per dimension. I like it! Sounds like the kind of symmetry these things tend to operate on. Hey, so maybe I didn't choose such a bad destructor after all, huh? Look...up there. It's getting worse.
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Rookie's communicator) This isn't the Central Park I'm used to.
* Egon Spengler: (heard from Rookie's communicator) You still have your wallet?
* Ray Stantz: That means one of two things: either we're in trouble or we're dinner.
* Egon Spengler: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Is there a difference?
* Winston Zeddemore: (heard from Rookie's communicator) Hey! We ever test the Proton Packs in the rain?
* Egon Spengler: (heard from Rookie's communicator) What's what Recruit is doing right now...
* Ray Stantz: Great...wait a minute! I'm wearing one, too!
* Egon Spengler: (heard from Rookie's communicator) That's true, Ray. How's it going so far? Do you smell any burning, or experience any painful tingling?
* Ray Stantz: You'll be the first one to know. Or the second. Air strike! Take those flyers out! They're coming out of ground! We've gotta smash the coffins while they're airborne. Otherwise we have to deal with these! They ain't all graceful! On your right!
* Peter Venkman: Well, hello there.
* Winston Zeddemore: Ray! You guys alright? Man, there ain't nothing dead in this graveyard.
* Ray Stantz: Thanks for joining the party.
* Egon Spengler: They're throwing everything they have at us to stop us from getting to that mausoleum.
* Winston Zeddemore: That's as far as I can go. You guys gotta clear a path for me.
* Egon Spengler: Ray, readings here are extremely unstable. Energy from the mandala and the escaped ghosts is building up to a flash point. We don't have much time.
* Ray Stantz: Well, I guess we're goin in there. We don't have a lot of choice. Man! The graves pushing up through here really did a number on this place. Walter Peck is gonna have a lot to answer to from the City Parks Department. If we can prevent the Apocalypse, that is. Clear out those roots! Watch out for those coffins! They're not all empty! Go, go, go!
* Peter Venkman: Hey, over here. A little help? Yo, a little help?
* Egon Spengler: We've tried everything. This metal is psychonically charged, rendering it effectively indestructible.
* Peter Venkman: Mm-Hm.
* Egon Spengler: Well, in such an extreme solution, I suppose to cause it harm. But I don't think anything we have is going to make a dent in it.
* Ray Stantz: Then what's our plan?
* Egon Spengler: Ray, you two check out that side.
* Ray Stantz: I think I'm picking up something odd here. What's your take on this? An indestructible gate attached to a damaged frame. A few concussive hits and the hinges might just break loose.
* Peter Venkman: Uh, 12 o'clock high.
* Egon Spengler: They're too well protected. Our energy streams aren't going to hurt them. Peter, go kick one.
* Ray Stantz: The only hope we have is to stay alive and keep them away from the Ecto.
* Winston Zeddemore: I wholeheartedly agree with Ray.
* Egon Spengler: More precisely, they're little stone angels, capable of attaining speeds of 198 feet per second before they hit their targets... which is us.
* Winston Zeddemore: Kamikaze Angels? Man, I'm going back to Sunday School.
* Ray Stantz: The particle throwers aren't doing anything to them! Tether them and smash them into something!
* Egon Spengler: Looks like a good place for slime tethering!
* Winston Zeddemore: The kid's on to something!
* Ray Stantz: Hook 'em together!
* Winston Zeddemore: Timber!!!
* Ray Stantz: Thanks for joining the party.
* Egon Spengler: I think we're getting close.
* Winston Zeddemore: Hey guys, a little help? I bet we can pull these gates down, too. Hey, Ray. Have we got a chain or winch for this thing?
* Ray Stantz: I didn't plan for a fun-filled day off-roading with Ecto-1. So no.
* Egon Spengler: The Tether might prove useful here.
* Winston Zeddemore: Okay, kid. Tether the gate to my bumper and I'll put it down. Now we're talking!
* Ray Stantz: This way, gentleman.
* Peter Venkman: Thank you! Nicely done.
* Egon Spengler: I'm not sure going underground now is a good idea.
* Ray Stantz: Come on, Spengs. Getting there is the fun part.
* Winston Zeddemore: Check that out.
* Ray Stantz: That's our next stop.
* Egon Spengler: Ever feel like you're being watched?
* Peter Venkman: Egon.
* Egon Spengler: What?
* Peter Venkman: Shhhhh! Please.
* Egon Spengler: Get ready! Same drill as before!
* Winston Zeddemore: Hook me up, again! I'll take care of it.
* Ray Stantz: Right. The tethers.
* Egon Spengler: At least the tethers held. My fault. Miscalculated.
* Ray Stantz: Winston!
* Peter Venkman: (Heavy Breathes) Oh man! D-ahh!
* Winston Zeddemore: It's stuck! For real!
* Ray Stantz: Ecto-1!
* Winston Zeddemore: She's tough, but she took that pretty hard!
* Ray Stantz: Can you get her rolling again?
* Winston Zeddemore: Nah. Crickets. She's down for the count, guys.
* Ray Stantz: I hate leaving her here like this.
* Winston Zeddemore: I know it, Ray. This is definitely turning into a bad neighborhood. But we've got to keep moving. Guess we're walking from here.
* Egon Spengler: Some of us have been working.
* Ray Stantz: Keep your eyes peeled!
* Egon Spengler: I think we've got guests.
* Winston Zeddemore: I knew it.
* Egon Spengler: I think we're going to wish we had that Super Slammer. To the right! Look behind you!
* Ray Stantz: This is fantastic! It's like a monster mash!
* Egon Spengler: Identify the Shandorian and focus on them. It's their combined willpower that's protecting the mausoleum.
* Ray Stantz: Focus on the cultists! What can unlock the gates?
* Egon Spengler: Well, those glowing indentions are obviously keyholes...
* Ray Stantz: They are! Oh! Sure! I see it now!
* Winston Zeddemore: Where are the keys then?
* Egon Spengler: It may be possible to harness their interdimensional cranial energy source!
* Winston Zeddemore: The kid's on to something! Way to go!
* Ray Stantz: Great! Those fellas turned out to be pretty helpful.
* Winston Zeddemore: This team can play! No doubt about it!
* Peter Venkman: Exciting! And somehow risky!
* Peter Venkman: Wait! It's Ilyssa!
* Egon Spengler: It's Peck.
* Peter Venkman: Can't we blast him? Just once really hard? Nobody's gonna know!
* Egon Spengler: Easy Venkman everything points to Peck being a pawn.
* Mayor Jock Mulligan (possessed): I couldn't have said it better myself.
* Ray Stantz: It's the Mayor.
* Peter Venkman: No Ray, it's not. It's Ivo Shandor.
* Winston Zeddemore: Shandor possessed the Mayor, turned Peck on us to slow us down. And when we shut down his mandala before he could get fully juiced, he hijacked our ghosts out of the containment unit as a alternate energy source.
* Mayor Jock Mulligan (possessed): Very good, and they say you're the slow one.
* Winston Zeddemore: Waaait, what? Who says that?
* Peter Venkman: Everybody. What's the girl have to do with it?
* Mayor Jock Mulligan (possessed): Taking her was necessary. To assume my own Destructor Form, I require blood. My blood.
* Ray Stantz: What about Gozer? I thought you built this all for him?
* Mayor Jock Mulligan (possessed): I did, but he failed me. Twice. How he earned the title "The Destroyer" is beyond me. Anyway, I thought to myself... why worship a god when you can actually be one?
* Peter Venkman: Slime him.
* Egon Spengler: He's too powerful! It'll take all of our streams! We've gotta get through it's shielding!
* Ray Stantz: Okay, step one. You've got it!
* Egon Spengler: It's fading!
* Ray Stantz: Job well done!
* Egon Spengler: Now's your chance!
* Ray Stantz: Job well done! Beat him down! Then get a capture stream on him! He's through! Now de-activate your pulse and we'll cross the streams with the blast function!
* Egon Spengler: I can't shut it down, Ray!
* Ray Stantz: Me too! Me neither, I mean!
* Winston Zeddemore: Who decided to reinforce these shoulder traps?
* All: Yaaaahhhh!!
* Ray Stantz: Hey, Shandor! Where's your Destructor Form now? Leave it in your other suit?
* Ivo Shandor's Destructor Form: I have chosen! I am the destructor. I am the Architect.
* Peter Venkman: (Yawns) Was someone waken out of their nap?
* Ray Stantz: Oh, no.
* Egon Spengler: That's very bad.
* Peter Venkman: The architect. Haha...that's not so scary. The contractor. That's who kills you!
* Ray Stantz: Peter... You don't understand. He's the Architect, and he controls Ghostworld!
* Egon Spengler: And he can come into our world. And what do architects do?
* Peter Venkman: Ah...uh...they have automatic pencils. I dunno.
* Ivo Shandor's Destructor Form: I will pave over your fields to start anew! I will fill your seas with concrete and stone!
* Peter Venkman: Whoa take a break! Do you ever shut up?
* Ray Stantz: Yeah...No! Listen!
* Ivo Shandor's Destructor Form: I will pierce your world with girders of steel and panes of glass!
* Winston Zeddemore: That's just mean super villain threats, Ray. All those guys like that.
* Ivo Shandor's Destructor Form: I will crush your world under the weight of my cities! I will smoother your creation under my own!
* Egon Spengler: Don't let it power up!
* Ray Stantz: Don't let it recharge.
* Egon Spengler: Keep it coming! Blast it! Keep it coming! Pour it on!
* Winston Zeddemore: Give it to him! Light them up! Hey, more trouble! Blast its sorry behind!
* Ray Stantz: It's shielding itself.
* Winston Zeddemore: Dob't let it recharge!
* Ivo Shandor's Destructor Form: I am a god!
* Egon Spengler: We eat gods for breakfast? I'm deactivating the cross-stream governor! I never thought I'd say this again! Cross the streams!
* Ray Stantz: "We eat gods for breakfast?"
* Egon Spengler: Too much, do you think?
* Ray Stantz: No, I liked it.
* Walter Peck: Get me down from here! Please I'm begging you let me down!
* Peter Venkman: New Guy. Your call.
* Walter Peck: This is not the last you'll see of me!
* (Walter Peck runs away)
* Mayor Jock Mulligan: Ha, ha! The Ghostbusters! Hey, fellas! What are you doing here? Um...what am I doing here? Uh... where is here?
* Ray Stantz: You were the victim of a trans-dimensional possession, Your Honor.
* Mayor Jock Mulligan: Uh...what's that mean?
* Winston Zeddemore: An evil ghost was walking around in your body for a few months.
* Mayor Jock Mulligan: Oh. Did anyone notice? How's my approval rating?
* Egon Spengler: Well, you got re-elected.
* Peter Venkman: By the way, you're a descendant of Shandor.
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Yeah...I kinda got that.
* (Peter Venkman and Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn kiss on the lips)
* Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: What? Venkman!
