Ghostbusters (1984) Edit

A cougar to a party, and it went berserk.

A full torso apparition. And it's real.

A major symphony orchestra.

A PKE surge of incredible, even dangerous, proportions.

According to these new readings, I think we have an excellent chance

According to this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie

According to this, his name's Louis Tully.

Actually, it's more of a guideline than a rule.

After the first World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive.

Ah, I don't have to take this abuse from you.

Aim for the flattop.

Alice, I'm gonna ask you a couple of standard questions, okay?

All I do know is I've been working two weeks without a break,

All I know is that was no light show we saw this morning.

All right, boys.

All right, I'm opening the trap now. Don't look directly into the trap.

All right, Ray, take the left. Egon, take the right.

All right.

All right.

All right. All right.

All right. Okay. The usual stuff isn't working.

All right. Tell me what you think it is.

And a federal Entry and Inspection order.

And all my recent data points to something big on the horizon.

And behold, there was a great earthquake.

And brakes, brake pads, linings, steering box, transmission, rear end.

And even though you do your own tax return, which you shouldn't do,

And every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.

And he wasn't alone. He had close to a thousand followers when he died.

And how many ghosts have you caught, Mr. Venkman?

And I looked as he opened the sixth seal.

And I want to cooperate in any way that I can.

And now it looks like it may actually happen.

And now you catch ghosts.

And now,

And return forthwith to your place of origin

And scared the socks off some poor librarian.

And tell everyone to start praying.

And that blank tape, I need it, the one you erased yesterday.

And that's when I started to hear that awful noise coming from the refrigerator.

And the seas boiled. And the skies fell.

And the sun became as black as sackcloth.

And then she threw me out of her life. She thought I was a creep.

And then you'll say, "Pete Venkman's a guy who can get things done."

And then, in 1920, he started a secret society.

And there were creatures writhing around, and they were growling and snarling.

And there were flames, and I heard a voice say, "Zuul."

And there's a full kitchen on the top level.

And this building is obviously the door. The architect's name was Ivo Shandor.

And this voice said, "Zuul," and then I slammed the refrigerator door and I left.

And we can stop this thing...

And we had the tools. We had the talent.

And we want to assess any possible environmental impact from your operation.

And we want to assess any possible environmental impact from your operation.

And would this storage facility be located on these premises?

And you have no place in this department or in this university.

And you promised me you'd hire more help.

And...

And...

Annette's drawing a salary from a deferred bonus from two years ago.

Any funding of any kind for your group's activities.

Are we actually going to go before a federal judge and say

Are we still going out?

Are you okay?

Are you Peter Venkman?

Are you the Gatekeeper?

Are you the Keymaster?

Are you the Keymaster?

Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night?

Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?

Arms? I can't wait to get a look at this thing.

Art deco. Very nice.

As a friend, I have to tell you,

As they say in TV, I'm sure there's one big question

At ease, officer. I'm Peter Venkman.

Bad news, honey, I gotta go to work.

Ban on the use of Public Utilities for Non Licensed Waste Handlers

Beautiful. You're hired. Ray Stantz, Pete Venkman.

Because you did not use the magic word.

Bellevue doesn't want him, and I'm afraid to put him in the lock up.

Better check the fridge. Good call.

Bizarre rituals intended to bring about the end of the world.

Boy, the superintendent's gonna be pissed.

Buried the needle. We're close on this one. I can feel it.

But at 19 percent? You didn't even bargain with the guy.

But I couldn't get in, so you know what I did? I turned up my TV real loud too

But I gotta get my own lawyer.

But I gotta tell you, these things are real.

But I think it's a fabulous way to spend your spare time.

But it definitely had arms, because it reached out for me.

But it's been quiet for years up until two weeks ago.

But now, as if some unforeseen authority...

But the kids love us.

But this beats the hell out of me.

But wasn't it incredible, Pete? I mean, we actually touched the etheric plane.

But what if you're wrong?

But you thought it'd be more fun to insult me. Now it is my turn, wiseass.

By the fire at Camp Waconda.

Call it fate, call it luck, call it karma,

CASEY KASEM: Still making headlines all across the country,

Cease and Desist All Commerce order. Seizure of Premises and Chattels.

Choose and perish.

Circle.

Clear your head.

Close, lock the system. Set your entry grid.

Close. But definitely wrong.

Cold riveted girders with cores of pure selenium.

Columbia Building, 57th Street. I'm in a hurry, so let's not dawdle.

Come on, hold it! Hold it! Hold it!

Come on, I want to talk to Dana. Dana.

Come on, let's run some red lights!

Come on, why don't you just quit trying

Come on!

Come on.

Come on.

Coming through! One class five free roaming vapor.

Could you come back in an hour, hour and a half?

Could you come over here and talk to me for a second, please?

Could you just come over here for a second, please?

County and state of New York,

Cute little pooch.

Dana, it's Peter.

Dana.

Dana. Can I talk to Dana?

Did those UV lenses come in for the video camera?

Did you see it? What is it?

Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections,

Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?

Do you have any Excedrin or Extra Strength Tylenol?

Do you have some information for me on my case?

Do you have some information for me, please?

Do you want some coffee, Mr. Tully?

Do you want this body?

Does anybody want to interview me?

Does anybody want to play Parcheesi?

Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria.

Don't leave yet. Listen, maybe if we start dancing,

Don't move. It won't hurt you.

Don't patronize me. I'm not grotesquely stupid, like the people you bilk.

Don't shut it off. I'm warning you.

Don't stare at me. You've got the bug eyes.

Don't think of anything. We've only got one shot at this.

Donald, stand over there.

Dr. Ray Stantz, would you please? The heart of the Ghostbusters.

Dr. Venkman, we believe that the purpose of science is to serve mankind.

Dr. Venkman, you've come all this way. Would you like to check the refrigerator?

Dr. Venkman.

Dr. Venkman. This is a surprise.

During the rectification of the Vuldronaii, the Traveler came as a large Torb.

Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

Easy. I make it a rule never to get involved with possessed people.

Egon, I'm gonna take back some of the things I've said about you.

Egon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head.

Egon, what do you think?

Egon, your mucus.

EGON: Could be erased memory stored in the collective unconscious.

EGON: I could look for the name "Zuul" in the usual literature.

EGON: Raymond, look at this.

EGON: You'll be all right.

Egon!

Eight o'clock?

Einstein did his best stuff when he was working as a patent clerk.

Either I have a monster in my kitchen, or I'm completely crazy.

Engineering or physics and just tell me what the hell is going on.

Enough! I get the point.

Every ancient religion has its own myth about the end of the world.

Everybody can relax, I found the car.

Everybody getting this so far?

Everybody has heard ghost stories around the campfire.

Everybody, this is Ted and Annette Fleming.

Everything was fine with our system until the power grid

Exactly what are you a doctor of, Mr. Venkman?

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Just where do you think you're going?

Figure eight.

Fine.

Fine. This university will no longer continue

Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.

Five thousand dollars? I had no idea it'd be so much. I won't pay it.

For at least a half a dozen environmental violations.

For instance, the presence of noxious,

For the first five years comes to 95,000 dollars.

For whatever reasons, Ray,

Forget it, Venkman. You had your chance to cooperate,

Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes. Volcanoes.

Four feet above her covers. She barks. She drools. She claws.

Frankly, there've been a lot of wild stories in the media

Full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?

Funny, us going out like this.

Gatekeeper.

Gee, I think all I got is acetylsalicylic acid. Generic.

Generally, you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance.

Get down here, right away! It just went into a ballroom.

Get her!

Get him out of here.

Get ready. Ready?

Ghostbusters! Ghostbusters! Ghostbusters! Ghostbusters!

Ghostbusters! What do you want?

Go ahead. No, I can't.

Go get her, Ray!

Go!

Good evening. As a duly designated representative of the city,

Good guess. But wrong.

Good idea.

Good Morning, I'm Roger Grimsby. Today the entire Eastern seaboard

Good.

Gotta run. Got a date with a ghost.

Gozer the Gozerian?

Gozer, huh?

GOZER: Choose. Choose the form of the Destructor.

GOZER'S VOICE: Sub creatures. Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor,

Great. How's it going down there?

Has it happened before?

Have been reported across the entire tri state area.

Have you or any member of your family

He performed a lot of unnecessary surgery.

He slimed me.

He took PKE valences, went right off the top of the scale.

He wants to shut down the protection grid, Peter.

He will come in one of the pre chosen forms.

He's an ugly little spud, isn't he?

He's in New York. We get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble.

Heat them up!

Hello, Ghostbusters.

Hello, New York.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

Help!

Help! There's a bear loose in my apartment! Help! Help!

Help! There's a bear loose in my apartment! Help! Help!

Here's the paper on the Brooklyn. She paid with Visa.

Here's tonight's worksheet.

Hey, aim up there.

Hey, and where's this Peck?

Hey, come on. Knock it off. Hey, break it up!

Hey, does this pole still work?

Hey, guard!

Hey, he pulls the wagon, I make the deals. You want a ride?

Hey, let me in! It's Louis! Somebody, let me in!

Hey, Ray, do you remember something in the Bible about

Hey, slow down. Chew your food.

Hey, this is real smoked salmon from Nova Scotia, Canada,

Hey, wait a minute. Hey, hey, hey. Hold it.

Hey, we should stay here tonight, sleep here. You know, to try it out.

Hey, where do these stairs go?

Hey, will you stay here in bed until I get back?

Hey.

Hey...

Hi, I'm going up to Dana Barrett's. Okay.

Hi, this is Larry King. The phone in topic today, ghosts and ghostbusting.

Hi.

How are you?

How is Elvis, and have you seen him lately?

How you doing? Why don't you have some of the Brie. It's at room temperature.

Human sacrifice.

Hurry.

I always have plenty of low sodium mineral water and other

I am the Gatekeeper.

I am the Keymaster. The Destructor is coming.

I am Vinz.

I assure you, Mrs. Van Houten, there is no problem with the room.

I believe that everything happens for a reason.

I believe that we were destined to get thrown out of this dump.

I bet I am.

I can feel it. We're very, very close.

I collect spores, molds and fungus.

I come home from work to my place, and all I have is my work.

I couldn't help it.

I did that. I did that.

I didn't choose anything!

I don't believe you're seriously considering listening to these men.

I don't have an appointment. I'd like to talk to someone, please.

I don't know where they get these guest conductors. I mean...

I don't know. I don't know.

I don't remember seeing any legs,

I don't think he's human.

I don't think you're crazy.

I feel like the floor of a taxicab.

I feel so funky.

I found it in Tobin's Spirit Guide. He was also a doctor.

I got hundreds of people dying to abuse me.

I got it! I got it!

I gotta have a shower.

I gotta split. The mayor wants to rap with me about some things.

I guess so.

I guess the roses worked, huh?

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways.

I have to go now, Jennifer, but I'd like to work with you some more.

I just whacked her up with about 300 cc's of Thorazine.

I just work with these guys. I mean, I wasn't even there.

I know you guys are into this stuff, so I figured we'd check with you.

I know. Do exactly as I say.

I know. You're a big celebrity now.

I like to torture them.

I looked at the trap, Ray.

I love this town!

I mean, the architect was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko.

I meet you, and I say, "My God, there's someone with the same problem I have."

I need a little more time with this subject.

I need some room to put the trap down. Give me some room.

I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity

I remember Revelations 7:12.

I represent the Environmental Protection Agency, the third district.

I respect you.

I see.

I see.

I see.

I should take her out to dinner. We don't want to lose her.

I taped 20 Minute Workout on my machine and played it back at high speed

I think he can hear you, Ray.

I think so. But I'm sure there are no animals in there.

I think that would be extraordinarily dangerous.

I think there's just been a slight misunderstanding,

I think we can get her a guest shot on Wild Kingdom.

I tried to think of the most harmless thing.

I want to go with them in the car.

I want to know more about what you do here.

I want to talk to Dana.

I want you inside me.

I want you to concentrate.

I want you to get right down there, check it out, and get back to me.

I want you to tell me what you think it is.

I was just going to say, "8:00?" You are a legitimate phenomenon.

I was present at an undersea, unexplained mass sponge migration.

I will.

I won't. Mom, um, I have to go. I have a date.

I wouldn't rule out clairvoyance or telepathic contact either.

I wouldn't say the experience was completely wasted.

I'd call that a big yes.

I'd like to analyze it.

I'd like you to stop by, being that you're my neighbor and all.

I'll bring the Roylance Guide and we'll eat and read.

I'll get it.

I'll go check out Miss Barrett's apartment. Okay?

I'll see you Thursday.

I'll tell you what's hazardous. You're facing federal prosecution

I'm a friend of his. He told me to meet him here.

I'm afraid you're gonna die.

I'm always serious.

I'm an eyewitness. I was up there.

I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"?

I'm glad you could come. How you doing? Give me your coats.

I'm gonna bring this up at the next tenants' meeting.

I'm gonna get you a nice fruit basket. I'm going to miss him.

I'm gonna go for broke.

I'm gonna have to hold him myself.

I'm gonna need to draw some petty cash.

I'm having a big party for all my clients.

I'm not gonna call a press conference

I'm Peter Venkman. May I help you?

I'm Peter.

I'm Roger Delacorte. Are you the men from the university?

I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you, sir. I'm glad you're feeling much better.

I'm sorry, I don't believe in any of those things.

I'm sorry, I'm just not getting any reading.

I'm studying the effect of negative reinforcement on ESP ability.

I'm thinking 9 ish, you know, we could exchange information.

I'm very excited. I'm very pleased.

I'm warning you. Turning off these machines would be extremely hazardous.

I'm Winston Zeddmore, Your Honor.

I'm working on that. If we could get together Thursday night,

I'm worried, Ray. It's getting crowded in there,

I've been busy.

I've got a city blowing up, and you guys are not giving me any answers.

I've never seen anything like this before. I don't know...

I've seen every form of combustion known to man,

I've worked in the private sector. They expect results.

If he does that again, you can shoot him.

If I'm wrong, nothing happens. We go to jail, peacefully, quietly.

If the answer is yes, then don't wait another minute.

In Dana Barrett's apartment building, and they're very, very strange.

In the depths of the Sloar that day, I can tell you.

Incredible. That's 5 for 5. You can't see these, can you?

Insert the trap.

Into a storage facility.

Is alive with talk of incidents of paranormal activity.

Is it a star?

Is it just a mist, or does it have arms and legs?

Is this a trick question?

It blew books off shelves from 20 feet away

It is a star. Very good. That's great.

It just popped in there.

It just seems a little pricey for a unique fixer upper opportunity, that's all.

It looks like we're in the teens somewhere.

It only cost me 14.12 after tax, though.

It was never, ever this bad, though.

It was right here.

It'll be ready promptly on time as soon as your guests are with us.

It's a call!

It's a couple of wavy lines.

It's a girl.

It's a good job, isn't it?

It's a lot of space.

It's all right. Don't worry. We're fine. We can handle it.

It's corny, but I respect you as an artist. And as a dresser too.

It's here.

It's in there.

It's looking at me.

It's Miller time.

It's my fourth anniversary as an accountant, you know.

It's not the girl, Peter, it's the building.

It's right here, Ray.

It's the kind of resentment that your ability is going to provoke in some people.

J. Edgar Hoover will appear and destroy us, so empty your heads.

JANINE: Egon. I tried to stop them. He says they have a warrant.

Janine?

Just a moment.

Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.

Just ordered some more vitamins and stuff. I was just exercising.

Just relax. Come on. Dana.

Killed by a 100 foot marshmallow man.

Lenny, officially, the church will not take any position

Let me in. There's gotta be a way in here. I gotta get...

Let me tell you something about myself.

Let's do it.

Let's not rush things. We don't even know what you have yet.

Let's talk seriously. Now, for the entrapment...

Lie down there. Relax. Put your hands on your chest.

Listen, I'm usually very psychic, and I have a terrible feeling

Listen, that reminds me, you shouldn't leave your TV on so loud when you go out.

Listen! Do you smell something?

Lives on Central Park West.

Look at all the junk food.

Look out!

Look, I want to make a phone call.

Look, I've only been with the company for a couple weeks.

Look, this wasn't here. There was nothing here.

Look!

Look!

Louis, I'm going home.

Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted

May I please see the storage facility, Mr. Venkman?

Maybe new rings, also mufflers, a little wiring.

Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider, huh?

Maybe the building itself has a history of psychic turbulence.

MAYOR: This is City Hall.

Meeting and greeting every schizo in the five boroughs

Mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance,

Mr. Smith, quickly. I want that door open now!

My parents left me that house. I was born there.

My uncle thought he was St. Jerome.

Myth? Ray, has it ever occurred to you

Neutronize your field.

Nice doggy.

Nice shooting, Tex!

Nice thinking, Ray.

Nice working with you, Dr. Venkman.

No job is too big. No fee is too big.

No kidding.

No kiss?

No studying.

No sweat. I'll take a rain check on that.

No, no, I'm fine. I feel great.

No, Peter, you're coming with us on this one. Spengler went down there.

No, we're exterminators. Somebody saw a cockroach up on 12th.

No, you're being moved off campus.

No! All right! Anything.

No. And why not, Mr. Venkman?

Nobody choosed anything.

Nobody steps on a church in my town.

Non terminal repeating phantasm, or a class five full roaming vapor.

Not necessarily. There's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive.

Not that I know of.

Now, I'm gonna count to three, Zuulie.

Now, stay close.

Now, there's something you don't see every day.

Now, what am I gonna do here, John? What is this?

Now, you either show me what is down there, or I come back with a court order.

Now!

Nutritious foods in the house. But you already know that.

Of actually catching a ghost and holding it indefinitely.

Of course, you forget, Peter,

Of millions of registered voters.

Of psychokinetic energy in the New York area.

Of pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence.

Oh, don't move. I just gotta get the door.

Oh, excuse me. Is this...? This is the Ghostbusters' office.

Oh, good. That makes me feel so much better.

Oh, great. Two more free repeaters.

Oh, hi, Mom.

Oh, I am.

Oh, I get it. I get it. Oh, very cute.

Oh, I'd really like to, Louis, but I have to go to rehearsal now. Excuse me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no. Hold on. I've seen TV. I know you can't come in here

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Oh, Spengler. Oh, are you okay?

Oh, thank God.

Oh, that's okay. You can bring him along.

Oh, that's very fascinating to me. I read a lot myself.

Oh, Venkman, I'm sorry.

Oh, Venkman.

Oh, wonderful. We have to get these two together.

Oh, yeah, you know what I did? I climbed on the ledge and tried to disconnect the cable

Oh, Your Eminence.

Oh.

Okay, all right. Hold it, hold it, hold it!

Okay, Ghostbusters. The mayor wants to see you guys.

Okay, go ahead. Come on. Go ahead.

Okay, hold him up there. He's gonna move. Hold him up!

Okay, Ray, just give me one high and outside.

Okay, so I'll see you later, huh? I'll give you a call.

Okay, so she's a dog.

Okay, we'll be right there.

Okay, well, hold onto him. I'll be there in a little while.

Okay, whatever happens, let's be professional.

Okay, who brought the dog?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Love to Dad.

On everybody's mind and I imagine you are the man to answer that.

On the religious implications of these phenomena.

One, two, three, roast him.

One.

Or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.

Other people will join in.

Others are just nutballs who come in off the street.

Our courteous and efficient staff is on call 24 hours a day

Peck. I am Walter Peck, sir, and I'm prepared to make a full report.

People think they're seeing ghosts, and they call these bozos,

Perhaps you could come back this evening, say at...?

Personally, I like the university. They gave us money and facilities.

Personally, Lenny...

Peter, at 1:40 p.m.

PETER: All right. I'm gonna turn over the next card.

PETER: I think that's a smart move, Mike.

PETER: Well, sure, but I prefer to give it to you in private.

Pick up your phone and call the professionals. Ghostbusters.

Please come down.

Please, let me.

Possibly hazardous waste chemicals in your basement.

Pretend that I don't know anything about metallurgy,

Professional paranormal eliminators in New York are the cause of it all.

Professional paranormal investigations and eliminations.

Ray has gone bye bye, Egon. What have you got left?

Ray, for a moment,

Ray, for your information, the interest rate alone

Ray, it's moving. Come on.

Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say, "Yes."

RAY: Ectoplasmic residue.

RAY: How?

RAY: I gotta get some sleep. I'm dying.

RAY: Never met him.

RAY: Oh, it smells like barbecued dog hair.

RAY: Okay, I have a plan. I know exactly what to do.

RAY: You know, Mr. Tully, you are a most fortunate individual.

Ray!

Ready?

Real nasty one too.

REALTOR: There's office space, sleeping quarters and showers on the next floor

Release.

Right over here. Come here, Francine. Come here.

Right, that's bad. Okay, important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

Right.

Right. Bye. Bye.

Right. Good idea.

See I was over there, and these eggs just jumped right out of their shells

See, I can get 600 tablets of that for the same price as 300 of the name brand.

She thought I was a geek, and she probably wasn't the first.

She's a client and because she sleeps above her covers.

She's gonna take a little nap now, but she says she's the Gatekeeper.

She's not my girlfriend. I find her interesting because

She's telling the truth. At least she thinks she is.

Simply turning it off would be like dropping a bomb in the city.

Since I joined these men, I have seen shit that'll turn you white.

Sir, what you had there was what we refer to as a focused,

So be good For goodness' sake

So everyone would think that both our TVs had something wrong with them.

So it only took 10 minutes. I got a great workout.

So they're okay!

So what? I guess they just don't make them like they used to, huh?

So, what do we do?

Some are people who just want attention.

Some maintain that these

Some people think I'm too intellectual,

Somebody blows their nose, and you wanna keep it?

Somebody, let me in!

Someone should tell him it's not gonna do much good to scream at us in German.

Something I loved from my childhood.

Something terrible is about to enter our world,

Something that could never, ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay Puft.

Sorry about the "bug eyes" thing. I'll be in my office.

Sorry, Venkman. I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

Sounds like you got at least two people in there already.

Spengler, I want a confinement stream from you, okay? Go!

Spengler!

Spengler! I'm with Venkman.

Spengler.

Spengs, you serious about this catching a ghost?

Spirit photography, telekinetic movement,

Square.

Stand aside, please!

Standard procedures in a case like this, which often bring us results.

Stay close.

Step aside, miss, or I'll have you arrested for interfering with the police...

Stop that!

Sub creature.

Successful test.

Successful test.

Take me now,

Talk about telekinetic activity. Look at this mess.

Tell him about the Twinkie.

Tell you what, I'll take Miss Barrett back to her apartment and check her out.

Ten people witnessed a free floating, full torso, vaporous apparition.

Thank you for coming. I hope we can clear this up quickly and quietly.

Thank you.

Thank you. Hope we can help you again.

Thank you. They love you. They love you here.

Thanks so much.

That makes good financial sense. Good advice.

That maybe the reason we've been so busy lately

That NASA uses to identify dead pulsars in deep space.

That ought to do it. Thanks very much, Ray.

That some moldy Babylonian god is gonna drop in on Central Park West

That something awful is gonna happen to you.

That this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.

That was designed and built expressly for the purpose

That was two days ago, and I haven't been back to my apartment.

That would rocket past the farm where she grew up.

That's a big Twinkie.

That's a different look for you, isn't it?

That's all right. We can just put it right back in there.

That's great, Ray. Save some for me.

That's great! Actual physical contact!

That's great. I'll tell everybody you're coming.

That's only gonna come to 1000 dollars, fortunately.

That's right, boys. It's Dr. Venkman!

That's strange. I didn't realize I left it on.

That's the bedroom. But nothing ever happened in there.

That's the closet.

That's the kitchen, huh?

That's the one that got me.

That's why I invited clients instead of friends. You having a good time, Marv?

The biggest interdimensional cross rip since the Tunguska blast of 1909.

The Board of Regents has decided to terminate your grant.

The controversy builds, more sightings are reported.

The creep down the hall phoned the manager.

The Destructor.

The effect? I'll tell you what the effect is. It's pissing me off!

The food service or housekeeping industries.

The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams.

The ghost is incarcerated here in our custom made storage facility.

The Ghostbusters are at it again, this time at the fashionable dance club,

The Ghostbusters are here, Mr. Mayor.

The Ghostbusters. Okay, the Ghostbusters.

The guests are starting to ask questions, and I'm running out of excuses.

The indispensable defense science of the next decade:

The last days, when the dead would rise from the grave?

The last throw took something out of him, but he's gonna move.

The Mesopotamians and the Sumerians.

The nice lady who paid us in advance before she became a dog.

The owners don't like us to even talk about it.

The possibilities are limitless. Hey, Dean Yeager.

The Rose. The boys in gray slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist,

The stiff happens to be one of the finest musicians in the world.

The structure of this roof cap is exactly like the kind of telemetry tracker

The Traveler has come.

The Traveler. The Destroyer.

The walls in the 53rd Precinct were bleeding.

The whole building is a huge superconductive antenna

The whole island's going crazy. Let's go.

The wiring is substandard. It's completely inadequate for our power needs.

Then stayed on to dance the night away

Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex supplicants,

There is no Dana. There is only Zuul.

There it is. On the ceiling.

There was a space and there was a building or something with flames coming out of it.

There's a man from the EPA here to see you. He's waiting in your office.

There's not supposed to be any pets in the building.

There's serious metal fatigue in all the load bearing members.

There's something very important I forgot to tell you.

There's something very strange about that man.

These are the blueprints for the structural ironwork

These ghosts once you catch them?

These men are consummate snowball artists.

These men are in criminal violation of the Environmental Protection Act.

They chose a new form for him, that of a giant Sloar!

They conducted rituals up on the roof,

They go up.

They got 15,000 left on the house at 8 percent.

They hate this.

They use sense and nerve gases to induce hallucinations.

They wouldn't touch us with a 10 meter cattle prod.

Think hard. What is it?

This ecto containment system that Spengler and I have in mind is gonna

This happen to you before?

This is a magnificent coordination you have going here today.

This is a major disgrace. Forget MIT or Stanford now.

This is big, Peter, this is very big. There's definitely something here.

This is Casey Kasem. Now on with the countdown.

This is it. This is definitely it!

This is preposterous. I demand an explanation.

This is where we store all the vapors and entities and slimers that we trap.

This is Winston Zeddmore. He's here about the job.

This job is definitely not worth 11,500 a year.

This magnificent feast here represents the last of the petty cash.

This roof cap is made of a magnesium tungsten alloy.

This way.

Those guys on TV.

Throw it!

Throw it!

To our first and only customer.

To our first customer.

To serve all your supernatural elimination needs.

To upset and disturb Dr. Venkman and just relax.

Total protonic reversal.

Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously

Try to understand, this is a high voltage laser containment system.

Turn your streams off as soon as I close the trap. Get ready. I'm closing it.

Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.

Two.

Type something, will you? We're paying for this stuff.

Uh huh. Well, just give me the address.

Uh, are you habitually using drugs, stimulants, alcohol?

Uh...

Um, well, I don't know. What I have to say may sound a little unusual.

Um...

Venkman, shorten your stream. I don't want my face burned off.

Venkman, what happened? Are you okay?

Venkman!

Venkman!

Venkman! I saw it, I saw it, I saw it!

Venkman! Pete!

Venkman?

Venkman? Venkman!

Very simple, really. A loaded trap here. Open, unlock the system.

Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of Gozer.

Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of Gozer.

Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of Gozer.

Vinz, there's one more test I'd like to perform.

Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign.

Volguus Zildrohar the Traveler has come.

Volguus Zildrohar, Lord of the Sebouillia. Are you the Gatekeeper?

Wait for the sign. Then all prisoners will be released.

Wait!

Wait... Um...

Wasn't so hard.

Watch it. Go ahead.

We certainly can, Dr. Venkman.

We could really bust some heads. In a spiritual sense, of course.

We could reverse the particle flow through the gate.

We didn't have to produce anything.

We got one!

We got work to do. Now, what do you need from me?

We handle this kind of thing all the time.

We have to get out of here. We've gotta find a judge or something.

We just had a visit from the Environmental Protection Agency.

We might have to put a little overtime in on this one.

We neutronized it.

We picked up this guy. Now we don't know what to do with him.

We thought you were someone else.

We used to roast Stay Puft marshmallows

We'll enjoy it. But if I'm right,

We'll take care of everything.

We're blocking the bridges, the roads...

We're gonna have to ask you for four big ones, $4000 for that.

We're in a real fix here. What do you think I should do?

We're ready to believe you.

We're the Ghostbusters.

We've been going about this all wrong. This Mr. Stay Puft is okay. He's a sailor.

We've gotta make contact. One of us should actually try to speak to it.

Welcome aboard.

Well, are you sure you're using that thing correctly?

Well, because I'm curious.

Well, he's a Ghostbuster.

Well, I could go to Hall of Records and check out the structural details in the building.

Well, I don't think that the man is competent to conduct

Well, I have Ph.D.'s in parapsychology and psychology.

Well, if I knew what it was, I wouldn't be here.

Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount

Well, most of the original staff knows about the 12th floor.

Well, of course I'm telling the truth. Who would make up a story like that?

Well, thank you, Louis. I'll really try to stop by.

Well, that wasn't such a chore, now, was it?

Well, that's all right. I don't either. But there are some things we do,

Well, that's great.

Well, the name Zuul refers to a demigod worshiped around 6000 B.C. by the...

Well, then maybe my theory is correct!

Well, this is great. If the ionization rate is constant for all ectoplasmic entities,

Well, when we get to 20, tell me. I'm gonna throw up.

Well, you can believe Mr. Pecker.

Well... No, everything is fine.

What a crime.

What about the Twinkie?

What are you so involved with there?

What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?

What are you trying to prove here, anyway?

What did you say your name was?

What do you mean "big"?

What do you mean, "choose"? We don't understand.

What do you think it was?

What do you think, Egon?

What happened?

What I'd really like to do is talk to Dana.

What is it?

What is it? Will there be any more of them?

What is that thing you're doing?

What is the magic word, Mr. Venkman?

What the hell are you doing?

What?

What? What just popped in there?

What's going on?

What's Gozer?

What's that word?

Whatever we think of. If we think of J. Edgar Hoover,

When the light is green, the trap is clean.

Where are we?

Where are you from? Originally.

Who are you guys?

Who conveniently show up to deal with the problem

Who does your taxes?

Who says he has a paranormal experience. What have you seen?

Who's the stiff?

Whoa, somebody's coming

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Will you guys relax? We are on the threshold of establishing

Will you please leave?

WINSTON: Dead rising from the grave.

WINSTON: Hey, Ray, do you believe in God?

With a fake electronic light show.

With some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.

Without a warrant or a writ or something.

WOMAN: There they are. There they are.

Would have no trouble finding a topflight job in either

Wow, this place is great. When can we move in?

Yeah, but I didn't know you were gonna be giving me electric shocks!

Yeah, I'm not interested in your opinion. Just shut it off.

Yeah, it's a sign, all right. We're going out of business.

Yeah, it's gonna be bigger than the microchip. Ray, I'm very excited.

Yeah, we can do more damage that way.

Yeah, well, I do. And I love Jesus' style, you know?

Yeah. No, just that one time.

Yep. Well, let's get ready. Switch me on.

Yes, have some.

Yes, I'm...

Yes, it is. Can I help you?

Yes, of course they're serious.

Yes, of course. Oh, they'll be totally discreet.

Yes, sir. Don't worry.

Yes, we both have the same problem. You.

Yes, well, I would, Louis, but I have a date coming.

Yes, well, I'll have to let you know.

Yes.

Yes. I'm Dr. Venkman. Dr. Stantz. Egon.

Yes. No, no one you know. It's...

Yes. You're the best one in your row.

You are a poor scientist, Dr. Venkman.

You are so kind to take care of that man.

You are so odd.

You are to vacate these premises immediately.

You better bring him inside.

You can have it your way, Mr. Venkman.

You can't park that here!

You didn't used to look like this.

You do your job, pencil neck. Don't tell me how to do mine.

You do?

You don't look good.

You go get a court order, and I'll sue your ass for wrongful prosecution!

You got him. Don't cross the stream.

You gotta try this pole. I'm gonna get my stuff.

You guys have been running your ass off,

You have?

You know what it could be? Past life experience intruding on present time.

You know what this could mean to the university?

You know, it's just occurred to me

You know, you are a real humanitarian.

You know, you could pick up the place if you're expecting someone.

You know, you don't act like a scientist.

You made a date

You may as well get used to that.

You never studied.

You only have 75 more to go, okay? What's this one?

You said crossing the streams was bad.

You seem to think there is something wrong up here that says, in your mind:

You shut that thing down, and we are not gonna be held responsible...

You think it's too warm in here for the Brie?

You volunteered, didn't you? We're paying you, aren't we?

You will perish in flame, you and all your kind! Gatekeeper!

You, however, seem to regard science as some kind of dodge or hustle.

You... You've earned it.

You'll excuse me, please.

You're always so concerned about your reputation.

You're gonna endanger our client,

You're never gonna regret this, Ray.

You're no fluke, Jennifer.

You're not gonna lose the house. Everybody has three mortgages nowadays.

You're right. No human being would stack books like this.

You're still very pale, though. A little sun.

You're very handy. I can tell.

You've finally gone around the bend on this ghost business.

You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there.

Your girlfriend lives in the corner penthouse of spook central.

Your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable.

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe.

Zuul.

24.95 a pound.

35 feet long, weighing approximately 600 pounds.

"Hittites." Hittites,

"I wonder what makes him tick." I wonder.

♪ Ghostbusters! ♪ Egon!

All right. Well, that's what I heard.

All right. Ready? Yeah.

and start tearing up the city? Sumerian, not Babylonian.

and started to cook on the counter. That is weird.

Any customers? No, Dr. Venkman.

Any messages? No.

Are you gonna answer that? I've quit better jobs than this.

Back. Back. Stay back. Stay back. Stay back.

Bye. I'll fix you. I'm gonna fix you.

Can I help you? I'm Walter Peck.

Can you move? EGON: Ray. Ray! Come in, please.

Congratulations. Can you help me, please?

Cross the streams. You're gonna endanger us.

Dana, are these the eggs? Yes.

DANA: Why don't you tell me now? Okay. I found the name Zuul for you.

Did you choose anything? No.

Did you ever report it to anyone? No. Heavens, no.

Did you see it? What was it? PETER: We'll get back to you.

Did you? My mind is totally blank.

Do I? Yes, have some.

Does that make any sense to you? Some.

Dropping off or picking up? Dropping off.

Egon. Excuse me.

EPA? What's he want? I don't know.

Excuse me, this is private property. Shut this off. Shut these all off.

Felt great. We'd like to get a sample

For what purpose? To go into business for ourselves.

Going up? I'll take the next one.

Good. Want to come in for a mineral water?

Got your stick? Holding it.

Gotta get this in the clear. Wait, wait, wait!

Gozer was very big in Sumeria. Well, what's he doing in my icebox?

He shut off the protection grid. Oh, great.

Hello? PETER: Egon, it's Peter.

Help! Somebody! Go check on that little guy.

Hey, what happened? Some moron brought

How are you, Lenny? You're looking good, Mike.

How do you explain that? Good afternoon, gentlemen.

How much? Only 4800.

How's the grid holding up? Not good.

I am madly in love with you. I don't believe this.

I bet you like to read a lot too. Print is dead.

I blame myself. So do I.

I can't see you Thursday. I'm busy. Miss Barrett...

I didn't get your name. I am Zuul.

I don't? Well, you've looked better.

I know. You have been a participant in

I like that shirt, friend. Ghostbusters! All right!

I think we'd better split up. Good idea.

I thought it was the drugstore. Oh, are you sick?

I tried to think... Look!

I'm not at liberty to say. And where do you put

Is this true? Yes, it's true. This man has no dick.

It can't be. What did you do, Ray?

It was scientific. I just got overexcited.

It's Gozer. I thought Gozer was a man.

It's whatever it wants to be. Whatever it is, it's gotta get by us.

It's working, Ray. Start bringing him down.

Janine, any calls? No.

Judgment day. Judgment day.

Just you? Yes.

Let me guess. Gozer worshipers. Right.

My friend, don't be a jerk. Step aside.

My name is Peck. Or you could accept the fact

Nimble little minx, isn't she? We better go full stream.

No, no, no, no I'll prove myself to you.

No! It can't be. What is it?

No. I've got it!

No. No, no. Just asking.

No. Then die!

No. Goddamn it! This wasn't... You actually eat this stuff?

of your brain tissue. Okay.

Oh, Dana, it's you. Hello, Louis.

Oh, Dana, it's you. Oh, hi. Yes, Louis, it's me.

Oh, no. Mother pus bucket.

Oh, you're here. Yeah, what have you got?

on my would be girlfriend. How is she?

Ray, this looks extraordinarily bad. Oh, no.

RAY: Are you all right? Yeah.

RAY: There's more over here. I'm getting stronger readings here.

RAY: Winston. WINSTON: Yeah.

Real wrath of God type stuff. Exactly.

Remember that? That would've worked if...

So who the hell is that? He's just a friend.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Sorry. This isn't your lucky day. I know.

Spates Catalog. Yeah. Tobin's Spirit Guide.

Ted! Annette! Hi.

Thank you for coming so quickly. Jesus!

Thank you, officer. Shut it off!

Thank you. It's okay.

Thanks, I've got it. I have news from the world of Gozer.

That was a wonderful rehearsal. You heard that?

That's gotta be some cockroach. Bite your head off, man.

That's my fault. It's okay. The table broke the fall.

The disturbances, I mean. Yeah.

The flowers are still standing! Okay, on my go signal.

They're usually pretty stiff. You're more like a game show host.

This explosion is a direct result of it. Your mother!

This is hot, Ray. Symmetrical book stacking.

tonight? Well, I... I'm sorry, Louis. I forgot.

Twenty two. Is this it? PETER: Yep.

Um, could you wait here a minute? Huh? Uh, sure.

Venkman, get a sample of this. It's the real thing.

Venky! PETER: Yeah, where are you?

Wanna play rough? Yeah.

was shut off by dickless here. They caused an explosion.

We'll cross the streams. Excuse me, Egon.

Well, what do you mean, "biblical"? What he means is Old Testament.

Well, what does he do? He's a scientist.

What are we doing today, Zuul? Must prepare for the coming of Gozer.

What do we do? I don't know. What do you think?

What happened? Storage facility blew.

What has that got to do with it? Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

What is it, Peter? I'm here with Dana Barrett.

What sign are you waiting for? Gozer the Traveler.

What? A bear in his apartment.

What? Don't cross the streams.

Where's the Keymaster? Shit.

Who's the Keymaster? Oh, come on.

Why? It would be bad.

Will you excuse me for a second? Sure.

Yeah, big difference. No offense,

Yeah, I know that. Listen, that reminds me...

Yeah, I'll solve your little problem. Okay.

You a Ghostbuster? EGON: Yes.

You all right? I'm all right.

You all right? Yeah. You okay?

You can keep the 5 bucks. I've had it. I will, mister!

You'll be responsible. Shut it off. No, we won't be held responsible.

"Get her." That was your whole plan. Get her.

"He enjoys taking his evenings off and spending it with his clients."

"I wonder if he'd be interested in knowing what makes me tick."

"Please."
