Reunited with the no-nonsense Zeddemore, nerdy near-sighted Louis and their ever-industrious secretary Janine, the heroes of the hereafter must put a stop to an enormous underground river of slime ready to rot the roots of the entire Big Apple. Now, if your hometown was on the verge of being sucked down into the 10th level of Hell, who else would you call? |

Fact errors: When the Ghostbusters are being brought to City Hall, the police car has red and blue emergency lights. In New York City, police cars have red and white emergency lights. FAIR: When asked if she (Lady Liberty) can go faster, Ray denies it because the vibrations could damage her. Presumably, she got off the pedestal on Liberty Island very slowly and carefully, using all four limbs. Revealing mistakes: When Egon, Winston, and Ray enter the cavern of slime, they kick down a "weak" wall of rocks. While looking around, Ray sits down on one and it squishes, making it obvious that it is Styrofoam. Revealing mistakes: In the court room scene when the jar of pink slime starts to boil you can clearly see the mechanism and pump making it move. Revealing mistakes: Towards the end of the movie, Dana crawls out on the ledge to get Oscar and the traffic below is seen traveling at very high speeds. Continuity: When Egon and Ray discuss Vigo The Carpathian in the lab, the close-up of the monitor shows different data than in the preceding and following shots. Continuity: The carriage with Oscar stops on First Avenue and there are shops in the background. When the Ghostbusters are digging in the street there is now a parking lot in the background. Continuity: In the "dancing toaster" sequence, the balls on the table move several inches between shoots. Also, one can actually see the moving mechanisms (electro magnetic pins that "pop" out) from underneath the toaster. Crew: There are small pegs jutting out the bottom of the dancing toaster. Revealing mistakes: When the Statue of Liberty is making her way through the harbor, the water is incredibly calm. Something that big moving through the water would make a large wake or at least some ripples. Revealing mistakes: When Ben Stein informs that there is a covering on the main Museum, and that they "can't make a dent," the picture Ben Stein shows the man is shown towards the camera, and is obviously a picture of the base of the Statue of Liberty. Continuity: When Ray, Egon, and Winston enter the room with the heads on poles, Winston's helmet disappears and reappears between shots. Crew: In the scene with the dancing toaster you can clearly see the reflection of the camera crew Continuity: When Dana is tied up and unable to rescue Oscar at the museum, her hair is considerably curlier and shorter. When she is set free, her hair is back to being wavier and longer. Continuity: When Ray and Egon are speaking in the lab after taking pictures at the museum, the picture of Vigo is only about 1/4 of the way into the machine when the finished analyzed product of the river of slime is already taken out. Continuity: In the museum at the end, when Vigo is going for the baby, his hair is neat. In the next view his hair is messed up and a tangled mess. Then it is combed and pushed back behind his ears. Crew: Crew and lights are reflected in some of the close-ups of the toaster scene. Crew: Air pipes clearly visible on the flying chairs in the court room scenes. Continuity: In the scene outside the restaurant as Peter and Dana are calling for a taxi, the ectomobile pulls up. The numberplate on the front clearly says ecto-2 this is because the revamped ecto was intended to be called ecto-2 but was later changed to 1a, this scene must have been shot before the change was made. Continuity: In the close-up of the Ecto 1A's plate near the end of the film, the Statue of Liberty is in the middle of the plate. In all other shots, it's on the left side of the plate. Revealing mistakes: Where upon arriving at Peter's rendezvous with Dana, Raymond and Egon proceed to inform Peter of their intentions of going underground. During this dialogue and an over the shoulder shot of Egon, we can clearly hear Ray speak to Peter while the only mouth that is moving in the shot is Egon's. Continuity: At the end, when the slime evaporates from the museum, Louis is using a proton pack on it. But when seen from a wider angle, Louis's proton discharge is nowhere to be seen. GEOG: When the mayor is looking out the window from his office the eclipse appears to over central park as a view from Central Park West. The Mayor's office is Downtown so a view of Central park would be impossible. CHAR: When Dana takes a cab to the museum, you can see the cab drive up and stop. But Dana forgets to pay, and the driver forgets to write the receipt. FAIR: Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray switch places twice while in the statue. The original order was Murray, Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis. It then changes to Hudson, Murray, Aykroyd, and Ramis. It then goes back. However, given that there is enough room up top for them to move around and look at things, and given the apparent time difference, it's entirely probable that they could switch places. FAIR: When Ray and Egon are "examining" Oscar, the tape recorder Ray is holding jumps between his left and right hands between shots. However, this could easily be the result of him resting his elbows on the table and putting the recorder down and picking it back up several times. FAIR: Michael P. Moran is credited as playing "Frank the Doorman" even though the character specifically tells Dana, "I'm not the doorman, Miss Barrett. I'm the building superintendent." But this is simply a joke put in to acknowledge what the character of Frank had said at the beginning. FAIR: During the "We're Back" montage, as Ecto-1 pulls out of the firehouse with Louis Tully running behind, there are clearly piles of wood and metal leaning against the back wall. During the rest of the movie and in the first Ghostbusters movie when Ecto-1 is parked in the main level of the firehouse, Janine's desk and Peter Venkman's office are at the back of the building. But, given that we know there was probably a space of time between the initial movie, where there was a huge hole punched in the floor, and this one, it's likely they had those materials to rebuild the firehouse and expand it. FAIR: In the seen with the dancing toaster, Egon puts the slime in the toaster (on top of anything that would be inside). When the toast pops out while the toaster is dancing, the toast looks like toast, without any sign of slime on them, however, we do know that he moves the toaster to another location, so there's no reason he could not have put bread in and pushed it down before playing the song. FAIR: During the ending scene from where the Ghostbusters drop in to the museum, Ray and Winston both have lights on their "slime throwers". These lights switch from on and off between many shots until the end. However, slime was not a constantly thrown thing, we know the proton packs have activator switches on the wants, so why not the same with the throwers. In other words, on when they're being used, but switched off to preserve power. Fact errors: When the ghost of the Titanic shows up, it is shown with a gash in its side, presumably from the iceberg impact. However, the iceberg did not tear a gash in the hull of the Titanic. Fact errors: Hardemeyer has the Ghostbusters committed to Parkview Psychiatric Hospital for observation, claiming to be acting on the mayor's behalf. A mayor's office does not have the authority to commit an individual. Also, three of the four Ghostbusters are doctors of psychology, making it highly unlikely that the hospital would admit them without question or suspicion. Revealing mistakes: The movie takes place around New Year's. There is no snow and warm temperatures as the people's breath is not even visible. Crew: Near the end of the movie, when Vigo moves the boxes and other items to reveal where Oscar is hiding, if you look at the left side of the screen, you can see part of someone's arm popping out from behind the pillar. FAIR: After the Ghostbusters smash the glass and metal dome on the roof of the museum, the entire dome wasn't actually totally destroyed. When the Ghostbusters rappel down, the dome is still halfway intact, and later on, when Vigo looks up at the ceiling, half of the dome is intact. FAIR: In the scene of Oscar's examination, Egon suggests they perform an "Apgar score" test on baby Oscar. However, Apgar score is a test made on newborns only (usually 1 and 5 minutes after birth), so such a test would be entirely irrelevant in Oscar's case, a deliberate attempt to show that they really have very little idea of what they're trying to do, and are just trying to sound like they do. FAIR: The Statue of Liberty is shown at one point wading through water up to her chin; in fact, the waters of New York's Upper Bay are a maximum of 45 feet deep. Given that the Statue is 111 feet tall from top to toe, the water should have been no deeper than her waist, but the line said in the statue's head gives how this can be the case when we hear Venkman say "Keep kicking Libby," indicating that she was swimming, not walking. FAIR: When Louis runs to the bus stop, you can see the bus in the background waiting for the cue, but, given the way buses run and the fact that his run to the bus stop didn't take that long, it could rightfully be assumed that the bus was pulling up to the stop at the same time, needing to slow down. PLOT: The movie ends at New Year, so it must have been around Christmas time when the majority of events took place. There is a surprising lack of Christmas decorations in New York City. GEOG: When the Con Edison Supervisor and the police man arrive where Egon, Peter, and Ray dug the whole on First Avenue, there is a subway station exit with red lights atop it. There is only one subway station on First avenue, which is the First avenue station on the L train, and all of the exits to that station have green lights atop it. Crew: In the scene when Dana goes out the window after Oscar Lewis calls to Janin to dial 911, you can see the TV. Reflected on the screen are the studio lights. SYNC: When Dana gets to Peter's house after the bathtub scene, we can clearly hear Oscar crying. In closer shots, the baby is not crying. |
Quotes

Peter Venkman: Hi, Egon. How's school? I bet those science chicks really dig that large cranium of yours, huh? Egon: I think they're more interested in my epididymis. Egon: Vigo the Carpathian. Born 1505, died 1610. Peter Venkman: 105 years old, he hung in there, didn't he? Ray: He didn't die of old age, either. He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disembowled, drawn and quartered. Peter Venkman: Ouch. Winston: Guess he wasn't too popular at the end, huh? Egon: No, not exactly a man of the people. Also known as Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Torturer, Vigo the Despised, and Vigo the Unholy. Peter Venkman: Wasn't he also Vigo the Butch? Ray: And dig this, there was a prophecy. Just before his head died, his last words were "Death is but a door. Time is but a window. I'll be back." Vigo: On a mountain of skulls, in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood! What was will be! What is will be no more! Now is the season of evil! Janosz: He is Vigo! You are like the buzzing of flies to him! Talk Show Producer: No respected psychic will come on this show. They all think you're a fraud. Peter Venkman: I *am* a fraud! The Mayor: Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right. Peter Venkman: You know, I have met some dumb blondes in my life, but you take the taco, pal! Only a *Carpathian* would come back to life now and choose New York! Tasty pick, bonehead! If you had brain one in that huge melon on top of your neck, you would be living the sweet life out in Southern California's beautiful San Fernando Valley! Peter Venkman: Suck in the guts, guys, we're the Ghostbusters. Egon: Venkman, get a stool sample. Peter Venkman: Business, or personal? Louis Tully: Your Honor, ladies and gentleman of the audience, I don't think it's fair to call my clients frauds. Sure, the blackout was a big problem for everybody. I was trapped in an elevator for two hours and I had to make the whole time. But I don't blame them. Because one time, I turned into a dog and they helped me. Thank you. [the courtroom is in bewildered silence] Egon: Very good, Louis. Short, but pointless. Dana: His name is Oscar. Peter Venkman: Named after a hot dog, you poor man, you poor, poor man. Egon: I'd like to run some gynecological tests on the mother. Peter Venkman: Who wouldn't? Ray: [of the insulting birthday party kids] Ungrateful little yuppie larva. After everything we did for this city. Winston: Yeah, we conjured up a hundred-foot marshmallow man, blew the top three floors off an uptown high-rise, and ended up getting sued by every city, county, and state agency in New York. Ray: Yeah... but what a ride. Dana: Okay, but after dinner, don't put any of those old cheap moves on me. It's different now. Peter Venkman: Oh, no! I have all NEW cheap moves. Prosecutor: So, you're saying that the supernatural is your exclusive province? Peter Venkman: Kitten, I think what I'm saying, is that sometimes, shit happens, someone has to deal with it, and who ya gonna call? Ray: You mean you never even had a Slinky? Egon: We had part of a Slinky. But I straightened it. Louis Tully: So the 7 little dwarves had a limited partnership in a small mining operation. And one day a beautiful princess came to live with them. And they bartered housekeeping services for room and board, which was a real good deal for them because they didn't have to withhold social security or income tax or nothin', which you're really not supposed to do, you see, but for the purpose of the story, I think it's okay. Milton Angland: I have a strong psychic belief that the world will end on New Year's Eve. Peter Venkman: Well, for your sake, I hope you're right. Elaine: According to my source, the end of the world will be on February 14th, in the year two thousand and sixteen. Peter Venkman: Valentine's day. Bummer. Where'd you get your date, Elaine? Elaine: I received this information from an alien. As I told my husband, it was in the Paramus Holiday Inn, I was having a drink at the bar, alone, and this alien approached me. He started talking to me. He bought me a drink, and then I think he must have used some kind of a ray or a mind control device because he forced me to follow him to his room and that's where he told me about the end of the world. Peter Venkman: So your alien had a room at the Holiday Inn, Paramus? Elaine: It could have been a room on the spaceship made to look like the hotel. I can't be sure about that, Peter. [the Mayor's assistant has just been rude to Dr. Peter Venkman] Peter Venkman: You know, I'm a voter. Aren't you supposed to lie to me and kiss my butt? Peter Venkman: [outside the courthouse] We're the best. We're the beautiful. We're the only Ghostbusters. Ray: We're back! Dana: You're much better than you realize. You don't give yourself enough credit. Peter Venkman: I need to hear that kind of stuff. You know, if I had this kind of stuff for like on a 24-hour basis, I could have myself whipped into shape by the end of this century. [At the foot of the Statue of Liberty] Peter Venkman: Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it? Winston: Wonder what? Peter Venkman: Whether she's naked under that toga. She *is* French. You know that. [Dana hands Oscar to Peter] Dana: It's late, I really ought to put him down. Peter Venkman: May I? Dana: Yeah, if you want to. Peter Venkman: [points in baby's face] You're short, your bellybutton sticks out too far, and you're a terrible burden on your poor mother. Vigo: Death is but a doorway, time is but a window, I'll be back. Ray: You think there's a connection between this Vigo character and the... slime? Egon: Is the atomic weight of cobalt 58.9? Egon: Vigo the Carpathian. Also known as Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Torturer, Vigo the Despised, and Vigo the Unholy. Peter Venkman: Wasn't he also Vigo the Butch? Peter Venkman: Have you been outside lately? Do you know how weird it is out there? We've taken our own head count. There seem to be six million completely miserable assholes living in the tri-state area. Hardemeyer: Oh, please! Peter Venkman: Excuse me, six million and one. Peter Venkman: Doh! Ray: Re! Egon: Egon! Peter Venkman: Where in the hell are you from anyway, Johnny? Janosz: The upper vest side. Brownstone Boy #2: My dad says you guys are full of crap. Ray: Well, some people have a hard time believing in the paranormal. Brownstone Boy #2: Nah, he just said you guys are full of crap and that's why you went out of business. Janosz: Soon, the city will be mine and Vigo's... mainly Vigo's. The Mayor: I spent an hour in my room last night talking to Fiorella LaGuardia, and he's been dead for forty years. Now where are the Ghost Busters? [the ghost of the R.M.S. Titanic appears in New York Harbor, and numerous ghostly figures emerge from it] Dock Supervisor: Well, better late than never. Ray: Not so fast Dead Head! You want a baby, why don't you go knock up some willing hellhound! Otherwise I'm giving you three to get back in that painting! One! Peter Venkman: Two. Ray: It looks like a giant Jell-O mold. Winston: I hate Jell-O. Peter Venkman: Oh, come on. There's always room for Jell-O! Dana: How is he these days? Egon: Peter? Well, he was borderline for a while... then he crossed the border. Egon: Let's see what happens when we take away the puppy. Peter Venkman: See you next week on "World of the Psychic." Until then, this is Peter Venkman, saying... [points to his forehead and stares at the camera for a long beat] Peter Venkman: Ha ha! See you then. Peter Venkman: Uh, perhaps you can help me? I'm looking for a love-potion aerosol, that I can spray on a certain Penthouse Pet, to obtain her total submission. [looking at Oscar's nursery] Egon: Cozy. My parents didn't believe in toys. [two ten foot high, full-torso apparitions strapped into electric chairs with sparking electrical wires still attached, burst out of a specimen jar and hover in the air in the middle of a courtroom, sparks flying, before suddenly diving towards the judge and exploding] Ray: Wow! [Egon and Ray are showing Peter and Winston their breakthrough with a slime specimen] Egon: Go ahead, Ray! Ray: [shouting at the slime] You! You worthless piece of slime! You ignorant disgusting blob! [slime twitches] Egon: You're nothing but an unstable short-chained molecule! Ray: You foul obnoxious muck! [bubbles dangerously with every insult] Egon: You have a weak electrochemical bond! [starts to bubble over] Ray: I have seen some disgusting crud in my time, but you take the cake! Peter Venkman: This is what you do with your spare time? Egon: [producing a toaster] Ordinary household toaster. Peter Venkman: We'll take your word for that. [over the phone with Peter, hearing that Dana's bathtub tried to eat her] Ray: What? Are you serious? That's great! - I mean that's not great; that's terrible... Spengler, major slime-related psychokinetic event! Ray: Two in the box. Egon: Ready to go. Peter Venkman: We be fast. Ray, Egon, Peter Venkman: They be slow. Prosecutor: Dr. Venkman, would you please tell the court why you and your co-defendants took it upon yourselves to dig a very big hole in the middle of 1st Avenue? Peter Venkman: Well, there are so many holes in 1st Avenue, we really didn't think anyone would notice. Judge Wexler: If my hands weren't tied by the unalterable fetters of the law, then I would invoke the tradition of our illustrious forebears, reach back to a purer, sterner justice, and have you BURNED AT THE STAKE! Judge Wexler: [in the middle of persecuting the Ghostbusters he was attacked by the ghosts of 2 murderers he sentenced to the chair] You got to do something! Help me! Ray: Don't talk to me; talk to my attorney. Louis Tully: And that's me! My guys are still under a judicial mistrangement order... that blue thing I got from her! They could be exposing themselves! Peter Venkman: And you don't want us exposing ourselves! Janosz: This is Prince Vigo, the ruler of Carpathia and Moldavia. Peter Venkman: Bit of a sissy, isn't he? Janosz: He was a very powerful magician, Dr. Venkman. And, a genius in many ways. Dana: He was also a lunatic and a genocidal madman. I hate this painting. [looking at the painting of Vigo] Winston: Wow, that is one ugly dude. Ray: You know, I just can't believe things have gotten so bad in this city that there's no way back. I mean, sure, it's messy, it's crowded, it's polluted, and there are people who would just as soon step on your face as look at you. But come on! There's gotta be a few sparks of sweet humanity left in this burned-out bird. We just gotta find a way to mobilize it! Janosz: You know, Dana, there are many perks to being the mother of a living god. [piloting the Statue of Liberty] Egon: We're running out of time, Ray, it's almost midnight. Can't you make her go any faster? Ray: I'm afraid the vibrations will shake her to pieces. We should have padded her feet. Egon: I don't think they make Nikes in her size, Ray. Peter Venkman: Hey, she's tough. She's a harbor chick! [Ray has stepped in front of the painting of Vigo, blocking the Ghostbusters' attack] Egon: Ray... we'd like to shoot the monster, could you move, please? Peter Venkman: Ray... Winston: Ray? Egon, Peter Venkman, Winston: RAY! [Ray turns around, he is Ray/Vigo] Ray: NO! I, Ray, am Vigo, and rule the Earth! Begone, you pitiful half-men! Peter Venkman: Now! [they attack] Janosz: Dana is no here. Peter Venkman: Yeah, we know that. Janosz: Then why are you came? Peter Venkman: So, what happened to Mr. Right? I heard he ditched you and went to Europe. Dana: He did not ditch me. We had some problems, and he got a very good offer from an orchestra in London and he took it. Peter Venkman: So he ditched you? Egon: [after a ghost train runs through Winston] I think that was the old New York Central "City of Albany"! Derailed in 1920! Killed hundreds of people! Did you catch the number on the locomotive? Winston: Sorry. I missed it. Janosz: [on waking after being freed from his possession, singing] They will come from behind... Ah, ah... why am I drippings with goo? Egon: You had a violent prolonged transformative psychic episode. Peter Venkman: Here's something off the request line from Liberty Island. We're gonna squeeze some New Year's juice from ya, Big Apple! [Louis Tully is the Ghostbusters' defense lawyer] Louis Tully: I think you guys are making a big mistake. I do mostly tax law and probate stuff occasionally. I got my law degree at night school. Ray: Well, that's fine, Louis. We got arrested at night. Louis Tully: Give me a break, we're both lawyers! Peter Venkman: Viggy, Viggy, Viggy, you have been a bad monkey! [the Ghostbusters have been committed to a mental hospital] Ray: As I explained before, we think the spirit of a 17th century Moldavian tyrant is alive and well in a painting at the Manhattan Museum of Art. Psychiatrist: Uh-huh, and are there any other paintings in the museum with bad spirits in them? Egon: You're wasting valuable time. He's drawing strength from a psychomagnotheric slime flow that's been collecting under the city. Psychiatrist: Yes, tell me about the slime. Winston: It's very potent stuff. We made a toaster dance with it. [motions to Peter] Winston: And a bathtub tried to eat his friend's baby. Psychiatrist: A bathtub? Peter Venkman: [with his head buried in his arms in despair] Don't look at me. I think these people are completely nuts. Dana: Hello, Peter. Peter Venkman: [whips around Melodramatically, and speaks in a soap opera-esque deep tone] Hello, Dana. Vigo: I, Vigo, the Scourge of Carpathia, the Sorrow of Moldavia, command you! Janosz: [gets down on his hands and knees and starts bowing] Oh, command me, lord! Vigo: Find me a child that I might live again! Janosz: Yes. A child. A child! Janosz: [confused] A child? [Vigo electrocutes Janosz's eyes] Janosz: [possessed with the evil power] A child. Peter Venkman: Dana, you just never got it. I'm a man, I need to feel loved. I need to be desired! Dana: When you started introducing me as the old ball and chain, that's when I left. Egon: [talking about the mood slime after the yelling at it] We're running tests to see if we can get an equally strong positive response Ray: We sing to it, talk to it, say caring supportive things to it. Peter Venkman: You're not *sleeping * with it, are you Ray? [Ray shakes his head; Egon looks embarrassed] Peter Venkman: [noticing Egon, teasingly] You hound. Winston: It's always the quiet ones. [shakes head in disbelief] Peter Venkman: [to the other highly agitated, slime-covered ghostbusters in the restaurant] Boys! Boys! You're scaring the straights, okay? Is there any way that we could do this tomorrow? Peter Venkman: [to his very agitated, slime covered fellow Ghostbusters in the restaurant] Boys, boys, you're scaring the straights, okay? Is there any way we can do this tomorrow? Dana: You know, I think we got more food on your shirt than we did in your mouth. Bath... yes, bath. It's your favorite thing. Bath. It's your favorite thing! It's your favorite thing! Because I know what you get to do. You know what you get to do? You know what's more fun than anything? Huh? Splash Mommy. "I get to splash Mommy!" Yes! Now to get ready for this, Mommy's going to take her shirt off too... [Takes off shirt, picks Oscar up. Turns around. The mass of pink slime reaches for Oscar and attacks; Dana screams and runs] Peter Venkman: Next week on "World of the Psychic". Hairless cats... weird. Peter Venkman: [to Dana] Well you're probably feeling what Vigo's feeling... "Carpathian Kitten Loss" He misses his kitty! Well we'll just place one in here right by the castle [Peter grabs a brush and moves towards the Vigo painting] Janosz: [Trying to stop Peter] Don't go 'round altering valuable art Dr. Venkman... go... yes, I think; go... the joyfulness is over! Dana: [to Janosz] He's kidding. Peter Venkman: Well, you're not gonna get a green card with that attitude, pal! Peter Venkman: [to Egon] Who told you to stop cutting? Somebody tell you to stop cutting? First Cop: What are you guys doing here? Peter Venkman: [to First Cop] You tell him to stop cutting? First Cop: Yes, I told him to stop cutting. What are you doing? Peter Venkman: What's it look like we're doing here? Why don't you let us work? We let you work. Ray: [to Peter] Hey, take it easy. [to First Cop] He's been working overtime. I'll tell you why we're here. We're here because some diaper bag downtown's being a jerk and making us work on a Friday night. Am I right, Peter? Peter Venkman: Of course you're right, Raymond. [to Egon] Is he right, Ziggy? Egon: [pause] Yo! Winston: That was really stupid. Janine Melnitz: So, do you live alone? Louis Tully: I used to have a roommate, but my mom moved to Florida. [at the Statue of Liberty] Peter Venkman: Hey, how many of you people out here are a national monument, raise your hand, please? Oh, hello, miss! [viewing the River of Slime] Egon: You know how much negative energy would be necessary to generate a flow this size? Winston: New York - what a town, huh? Judge Wexler: [two ghosts in electrics chairs are attacking the court room] The Scolari brothers! Ray: Friends of yours? Judge Wexler: I tried them for murder, gave 'em the chair! You've got to do something! Egon: Why don't you just tell them you don't believe in ghosts? Dock Supervisor: [on the phone to his boss] Sir? The Titanic has just arrived. Janosz: [after getting shocked by Vigo the first time, falling down the step ladder he was working on] Stinging! I'm stinging! Janosz: [passing by an assistant working at a desk] Everything you are doing is bad. I want you to know this. Con Ed Supervisor Fianella: What's going on here? Hey, what's the story? Peter Venkman: Hey what? You boneheads are going to come to harass me on again? I got 3 thousand phone lines grounded here, I got about 8 million miles of cable I gotta check, you're gonna come and shake my monkey tree again? Con Ed Supervisor Fianella: What are you talking about buddy, the phone lines are over there. Peter Venkman: [Turns to Egon] What did I say to you? [Begins slapping Egon's hardhat] Peter Venkman: Those phone lines are over there. What did I say? How many times? First Cop: Hey, hey. You're not with Con Ed, or the phone company, we've checked. So, tell me another one. Peter Venkman: [Thinking of another excuse] I got a major gas leak here! What do you think all of this is coming from, the sky? Janine Melnitz: It is really a very nice place. Needs a woman's touch. Louis Tully: [closing the door to Oscar's room] Shh. Bed time. Janine Melnitz: You are so great with kids. Louis Tully: Oh, thanks, I practiced with my hamster. Janine Melnitz: [holding what it looks like a crystal ball in her hands] So, you live alone? Louis Tully: I used to have a roommate, but my mom moved to Florida. Janine Melnitz: Why don't you come here and sit with me. Louis Tully: Okay. [he moves to the couch Janine is sitting] Louis Tully: So, you want to play Boggle or Super Mario Bros.? Janine Melnitz: No. I think motherhood is a very natural instinct. Ray: So what do you think? Chinese? Egon: [sighs] How 'bout Thai? Ray: No, too spicy. Greek? Egon: Uhh... Mexican? Ray: Pizza. Egon: Thin or thick? Ray: Chicago. The Mayor: What the hell is going on? It's pandemonium out there! Hardemeyer: Yes, I know. We're working on it! The Mayor: Great. While you're working on it, I'm going down as the mayor who let New York get sucked down into the tenth level of hell! Alright, we got no choice. Call the Ghostbusters. Hardemeyer: Wait! Now I'm sure there's another way. The Mayor: Jack, I spent an hour last night in my bedroom talking to Fiorello LaGuardia and he's been dead for forty years. Now where are the Ghostbusters? Hardemeyer: Uh, they're not available. The Mayor: What do you mean they're not available? Hardemeyer: Well, I had them committed to the psychiatric ward at Parkview Hospital. The Mayor: You what? Hardemeyer: They were threatening to go to the press! I was protecting your interests! The Mayor: Oh yeah? Hardemeyer: Uh-huh! The Mayor: Well, you can stop protecting my interests. You have exactly three minutes to clear out. You're fired! Hardemeyer: But the election! You're making a big mistake, Mr. Mayor! The Mayor: Harry! Remove this man from the building and get me the Ghostbusters! Dana: So what do you think? Peter Venkman: Well, he's ugly. I mean, he's not Elephant Man ugly, but he's not attractive. Was his father ugly? Dana: [to Oscar] Don't listen. Peter Venkman: And he stinks! You're ripe, Senor! Did his father stink? Yeah, I bet Daddy was smelly, wasn't he? Dana: But seriously, there's nothing... unusual about him, is there? Peter Venkman: Well, I don't have a lot of experience with babies... but you're excited now, because Mama's here to get your stool sample! Dana: Stool sample? Peter Venkman: Yeah... Egon: [Looking at Pictures of Vigo that Peter took earlier] You're right, Ray. Multiplatform anomination. Ray: [getting another picture] Yeah, well here is the next months' front cover of GQ, check out the aura on this sucker. Now there is definitely a living presence there. Egon: We should get a deeper look. Ray: I 'll run this one through the Spectrogram [Puts a picture into the spectrogram, now talks about dinner] So, what do you think, Chinese? Egon: Uh, how about Italian. Ray: Nah, too spicy. Greek? Egon: Uh, Mexican? Ray: Pizza? Egon: Thin or thick? Ray: Chicago. Egon: [Takes out a picture of Vigo] What the hell is that? [picks up his giant maginfying glass] Ray: I know what it is. [Unbeknownst to Ray and Egon, the door is suddenly locked] I've seen this before. Egon: Where? Ray: Remember you got me dangling like a worm on a hook 100 feet below firsr avenue. [Shows the slime on the picture] That's the river of slime. Ray: [after getting off of the phone with Peter] Spangler. A major slime related pshycho kenetic event. Egon: What happened? Ray: Something came out of Dana's bathtub, tried to grab her and the baby. Egon: Are they alright? Ray: Yeah, she got out of there and went over to Venkman's. Egon: This is interesting Ray. Remember that Vigo character Peter mentioned? Look what came up [Goes to his computer and types up Vigo's profile] Ray: Nice ugly history. Do you think there's a connection to this Vigo character and the... [Looks at the slime which is still bubbling] slime? Egon: Is the atomic weight of colbalt 58.9? Judge Wexler: [Running from the Scolari Bros. and pounding on the door, then grabs ray by his suit jacket] You gotta do something, help me! Ray: Don't talk to me, talk to my attorney. Louis Tully: That's me. My guys are still under a judicial restraining order. That blue thing I got from her, they can be exposing themselves. Peter Venkman: And you don't want us, exposing ourselves. Peter Venkman: [while Vigo is holding Oscar] Not so fast, Vigo. Hey, Vigo, yeah you the bimbo with the baby. Didn't you know the bug shoulder look is out? You know, I have met some dumb blondes in my life, but you take the taco, pal. Only a Carpathian, will come back to life, now and choose New York. Tasty pick, bonehead. If you had brain 1 and that "huge" melon on top of your neck, you'll be livin' the sweet life, out in southern California's beautiful San Fernando valley. Peter Venkman: [walking towards the camera] Of course not, and that is the whole problem with aliens is you just can't trust them. Occasionally you meet a nice once: Star Man, E.T... But usually they turn out to be some kind of big lizard! But that's all the time we've got for this week on World of the Psychic. Next week though... [Crew Member hands Peter a hairless cat] Give me Ira. Hairless pets. Weird. [hands the cat back to the Crew Member] But until then, this is Peter Venkman saying- [makes a gesture as if he is sending out a telepathic message] Dock Supervisor: [after seeing the Titanic arrive] Well, better late then never. |
