Ghostbusters II (1989) - full transcript

Five years after the events of the first film, the Ghostbusters have been plagued by lawsuits and court orders, and their once-lucrative business is bankrupt. But when Dana has ghost problems again, the boys come out of retirement and are promptly arrested. The Ghostbusters discover that New York is once again headed for supernatural doom, with a river of ectoplasmic slime bubbling beneath the city and an ancient sorcerer attempting to possess Dana's baby and be reborn. Can the Ghostbusters quell the negative emotions feeding the otherworldly threat and stop the world from being slimed?

Here, you can take this ticket!

You can have this ticket and

keep it! I'm not paying that ticket!

Jesus! Why don't you watch

where you're going!

Then I want you to go

downstairs to the cellar

and check the water under the boiler.

I wanna do that today, all right!

- Could you do that?

- Would you mind giving me a hand?

I ain't the doorman, Ms. Barrett,

I'm the building superintendent.

You're also a human being.

It's not my job, but what

the hell, I'll do you a favor.

Listen, when are you gonna get around to

fixing the radiator in the baby's room?

- You know, I asked you last week.

- Didn't I do that?

Well, it's getting really

cold in there. I...

Okay, well, it's no problem.

Hey!

Hey, stop that carriage!

- Get it!

- Stop!

That's my baby!

Watch out!

Jesus!

Oscar, watch out!

My God!

Please!

Stop that carriage!

I hope you can handle it.

It's been like a nightmare.

- How big are they?

- Four feet.

Hey, kids, listen up!

Listen up! Look who's here!

- Hey!

- Boo!

How you doing, kids?

I thought it was gonna be He-Man.

- Yeah.

- Hey, hey, I know.

Why don't we all sit

down and we'll have fun.

Yeah!

You know, my dad says you

guys are full of crap.

- Jason.

- Well, some people have trouble

- believing in the paranormal.

- No, he just says you're full of crap

and that's why you

went out of business.

- Thank you. Call anytime.

- Bye.

Look, that's it. I've had it, Ray.

- No more parties.

- Here's your share.

Look, I'm tired of taking abuse

from overprivileged 9-year-olds.

I know, Z, but we can't quit now.

The holidays are coming up.

- It's our best season.

- Ray.

Man, face it. Ghostbusters

doesn't exist.

A year from now, those kids

won't even remember who we are.

Ungrateful little yuppie larvae.

After all we did for this city.

Yeah, we conjured up a

100-foot marshmallow man,

blew the top three floors

off an uptown high-rise,

ended up getting sued

by every state, county

and city agency in New York.

Yeah, but what a ride.

Right out into the middle of traffic

and I started really running after it.

And then it just suddenly stopped,

right in the middle of the street.

And did anyone

else see this happen?

Well, sure, hundreds of people.

- Egon, I didn't imagine this.

- I'm not saying you did.

It's just in science, we always

look for the simplest explanation.

- We're ready, Dr. Spengler.

- Good.

We'll start with the

negative calibration.

- What are you working on, Egon?

- Trying to determine

whether human emotions actually

affect the physical environment.

It's a theory Ray and I had when

we were still Ghostbusters.

Can they see us?

No. They think they're here

for marriage counseling.

We kept them waiting for

two and a half hours.

I've been gradually increasing

the temperature in the room.

It's up to 95 degrees

at the moment.

Now my assistant has asked them

if they'd mind waiting

another half-hour.

Oh, good. Very good.

Very, very nice.

- So, Egon, what do you think?

- Excellent. Just excellent.

Do the happiness index next.

I mean about the carriage.

Well, I'd like to bring Ray in

on this, if you don't mind.

Sure. Whatever you think.

But not Venkman.

Oh, no.

- Do you ever see him?

- Occasionally.

- Peter?

- How is he these days?

Well, he was borderline

for a while.

Then he crossed the border.

Does he ever mention me?

No.

Oh. Well, we... We didn't

part on very good terms.

And then we sort of lost track of

each other after I got married.

- We're ready for the affection test.

- Good, send in the puppy, please.

I thought of getting in touch with

him after my marriage ended, but...

Isn't that sweet?

I appreciate your doing this.

Try not to worry.

Here's my phone number.

You'll call me?

Yes.

I'd rather you didn't mention any

of this to Peter, if you don't mind.

No, I won't. I won't.

Thanks.

Let's see what happens when

we take away the puppy.

This... Gee, I don't know...

father encouraged...

Hi. Welcome back to

World of the Psychic.

I'm Peter Venkman.

I'm chatting with my guest.

Author, lecturer and psychic,

Milton Angland. Milt, your new book

is called The End of the World.

Now, can you tell us

when it's gonna be,

or do we have to buy the book?

Well, I predict that

the world will end

at the stroke of midnight

on New Year's Eve.

This year?

Well, that's cutting it a little

bit close, isn't it? I mean...

Just from a sales point of view,

I mean, your book is just coming out,

you're not gonna see any paperback

sales for at least a year.

It'll be at least another year before you

know whether you've got the mini-series

or Movie of the Week kind of possibilities.

Just devil's advocate, Milty.

I mean, shouldn't you have said,

"Hey, the world's gonna end in 1992"?

- Wait a minute. This is...

- Or better yet, 1994.

This is not just some

money-making scheme, all right?

I have a strong psychic belief...

that the world will end

on New Year's Eve.

- For your sake, I hope you're right.

- Thank you.

Okay, but I think my other

guest may disagree with you.

Elaine.

Now, you had another date in mind.

According to my source,

the end of the world will be on

February 14th in the year 2016.

Valentine's Day.

Bummer.

Where'd you get your date, 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.

So your alien had a room at

the Holiday Inn, Paramus?

It might've been a

room on the spacecraft

made up to look like a

room at the Holiday Inn.

I can't be sure about that, Peter.

Of course not. And that is the

whole problem with aliens,

is you just can't trust them.

Occasionally you meet a

nice one: Starman, E.T.

But usually they turn out to

be some kind of big lizard!

That's all the time we've got for

this week on World of the Psychic.

Next week, though...

Give me Ira. Hairless pets.

Weird. Until then,

this is Peter Venkman, saying...

See you then. Bye.

Norman, where do you

find these people?

Weren't we supposed to have the

telekinetic guy who bends the spoons?

He canceled. This is the best we

could do at such short notice.

Look, no respected psychic

will come on the show.

- They think you're a fraud.

- I am a fraud.

Mr. Mayor. Lenny. Lenny!

- Pete Venkman.

- Can I help you?

Yeah, get your hand off me.

Thank you, I'm an old friend of the mayor's.

I wanna say hello, give him a kiss.

I'm Jack Hardemeyer, I'm

the mayor's assistant.

I know who you are, Dr. Venkman.

I just don't see any ghosts anywhere.

That's why I wanted to

talk to His Highness.

See, we did a little job for the city a

while back and we got stiffed on the bill

by some bureaucratic

bookworm like yourself.

Look, you stay away from the mayor.

He's running for governor next fall.

And the last thing we need is for him

to be associated with two-bit frauds

and publicity hounds like

you and your friends.

You know, I'm a voter.

Aren't you supposed to lie

to me and kiss my butt?

All right, yes. Now, I want you

to put the Vigo in the arch.

Under the arch there.

Everything you're doing is bad.

I want you to know this.

You be careful there, all right?

No one listens to me.

Well, Dana, how are you doing?

- How's this Bonington coming?

- It's coming along fine.

This mixture you gave me

is working really well.

Yes? Well, I make pretty

good cocktails, don't I?

Yes, you're doing really

- quite good work there.

- Thank you.

It won't be long before

you can assist me in...

more important restoration.

Just a... a white thing.

Well, thank you, Dr. Poha.

- Janosz.

- Janosz.

Um, I've enjoyed working here,

but now that my baby's a little older, I'm

gonna try to go back to the orchestra.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that

you will not... be not here.

Well, could I say goodbye?

You know, maybe bring

you to a brunch today?

Well, I can't today, I have an

appointment. In fact, I'd better go.

I don't understand this. You know, every

day I say, "Can you do something?"

You say, "No, I can't

do something".

- Do I have bad breath or something?

- Of course not.

All right. Well, I'll

give you a rain check.

I think that she likes me.

No, I do. I truly do.

This one's interesting,

Ray. Berlin, 1939.

A flower cart took off by

itself, rolled half a kilometer.

- Three hundred eyewitnesses.

- My best to the coven.

Berlin, huh? You know,

you should also check Duke University

studies on controlled psychokinesis.

- I pulled it.

- Perhaps you could you help me,

I'm looking for a

love-potion aerosol

that I could spray on a

certain Penthouse Pet

to obtain her total submission.

- Hello, Venkman.

- Hi, Pete. How's it going?

Very well. Hi, Egon. How's school?

I bet those science chicks really dig

that large cranium of yours, huh?

I think they're more

interested in my epididymis.

Ray, let's close this place up

so you can buy me a calzone.

I really can't do that right now,

Pete. I'm working on something.

But your book came in.

- Magical Paths to Fortune and Power.

- Thank you.

Good luck with that, Venkman.

- Put this on my account, please?

- Sure.

- Ray, take a look at this.

- Oh, yeah.

What are you guys working on?

- Uh, well, we're just kind of...

- Ahem.

Checking something out

for an old friend.

Neat. Who?

Ray's Occult.

Seven o'clock on weekdays,

midnight on Saturdays.

Thank you.

- Who?

- Who?

Just someone we know.

Who?

- I can't! No! No! No!

- Yes, you can. Who?

- Nobody! Nobody!

- Can you tell me now?

- I can't!

- Now?

Dana Barrett!

My Dana Barrett?

I'll get it.

- Hi, Dana.

- Hi, Ray.

How good to see you.

Thanks for coming.

Hey, no problem. Always

glad to help. And hug.

- Hello, Dana.

- Hi, Egon.

Nice place.

Well, I know I'm just

asking for the big hurt

but I thought I'd give

us one more chance.

He tortured me. He pulled my ears.

Hello, Peter.

Hello, Dana.

- So, what would you like to do first?

- We'd like to examine the baby.

Yeah, and anything associated with

the baby, especially stuffed toys.

- Then we'd like to see the buggy.

- All right. Can I put him here?

- And wherever he sleeps.

- Yes.

- This'll be fine.

- This okay?

- That's fine.

- Okay.

We'll have to lay him down flat.

Okay, sweetheart, now they're

gonna take a look at you.

We'll do a cursory

medical examination.

What do you say? Gammel and

Pross Infant Acuity Test?

Sounds good. We'll finish

with an Apgar score.

It's nothing that's

gonna hurt him, right?

No. No, I don't think so.

He'll be fine.

- You ever done this before?

- On a chimp.

So whatever happened

to Mr. Right, anyway?

I heard he ditched you

and ran off to Europe.

He didn't ditch me.

We had some problems

and he got a very good job offer from

an orchestra in London and he took it.

So he ditched you.

Okay. Subject is a male Caucasian,

- approximately...

- Twenty four inches.

Twenty-four inches in length.

Subject weighs approximately 18

pounds and is about 8 months old.

Okay. Ocular?

Pupillary response normal.

Auditory.

- Appears normal.

- Apillary reflex.

- Appears to be ticklish.

- Yep. Baby ticklish.

You know, you'd have been

better off marrying me.

You never asked me.

And whenever I brought it up,

you'd get drowsy and fall asleep.

You never got it, Dana.

I'm a man. I'm sensitive.

I need to feel loved.

I need to be desired.

It was when you started introducing

me as "the old ball and chain".

That's when I left.

Well, I may have a lot

of personal problems,

but I'm a total professional

when it comes to my job.

- Hey, Egon.

- What?

- What are we doing?

- He seems to be fine, Dana.

- He's very healthy.

- He's okay.

When he does sleep,

where do you put him?

Right around here. I'll show you.

Venkman, would you get

a stool specimen, please?

Business or personal?

It's a little messy.

Well, we don't wanna play with anything,

we just wanna sweep for valences.

Very cheerful.

My parents didn't believe in toys.

You wanna play with a big kid?

You know, I should

have been your father.

I mean, I could have been.

I understand.

Help! He's gone completely

berserk. Help!

You mean you never

even had a Slinky?

We had part of a Slinky.

But I straightened it.

Help! Help!

He...

He had some sort of clear

liquid coming out of his mouth.

Yeah, well, that happens.

Well, what do you think?

Well, he's ugly.

I mean, he's not Elephant Man ugly,

but he's not attractive.

Was his father ugly?

- Don't listen.

- And he stinks.

You're ripe, señor.

Did his father stink?

Yeah. Daddy was a smelly, huh?

- What's your name?

- His name is Oscar.

Named after a hot dog.

You poor man.

You poor, poor man.

But seriously, there's nothing...

unusual about him, is there?

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. Right, Mama?

- Stool sample?

- Yeah.

- Nothing.

- So, what, brainiac?

I'd like to run some gynaecological

tests on the mother.

- Who wouldn't?

- Let's check the street.

It stopped right over there,

- in the middle of the crosswalk.

- All right, I can get us out there.

- Hey. Venkman.

- Hold on.

We're scientists, excuse us.

Get out of the way!

Thanks a lot. We gotta

do an inquiry here.

Hold on. Thanks. Appreciate it.

Thanks.

You gonna move out

of there or what?

Relax, you're on the meter. Come on, hey!

We're scientists, get out of the way.

I think we hit the honeypot.

There's something brewing under the

street. I've got 1118 on the PKE.

Two-point-five GEVs

on the gigameter.

Well, what does that mean?

Hey! How you doing?

- Me?

- Yeah.

- Fine. Fine. It's cutting fine now.

- Great.

Why are you cutting?

Why am I cutting?

- Yeah.

- Boss!

Who told you to stop cutting?

- Somebody tell you to stop...?

- What're you guys doing here?

Did you tell him to stop cutting?

Yes, I told him to stop.

What are you doing?

What's it look like we're doing here? Why

don't you let us work? We let you work.

Hey, take it easy. He's been working

overtime. I tell you why we're here.

We're here because some

diaper bag downtown

is being a jerk and making us work on

a Friday night. Am I right, Peter?

Of course you're right,

Raymond. Is he right, Ziggy?

Yo.

- You guys take it easy, all right?

- Come on. Come on.

What have you been doing?

What have I been doing? While you

were getting coffee for an hour,

I've been digging a big hole

in the middle of the street.

Looks like you uncovered

an old air shaft.

Man, that just goes on and on.

This is very intense. We

should get a deeper reading.

Yeah. We're gonna need

a deeper reading.

Yeah, somebody has

to go down there.

Yeah, somebody's

gotta go down there.

Stinging! I'm stinging!

Listen to me.

What? Who?

I, Vigo, the scourge of Carpathia,

the sorrow of Moldavia,

command you.

Oh, command me, lord.

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.

Evil?

Find me a child, that

I might live again.

Yes. A child.

A child. A child?

A child.

You all right?

Yeah, I'm good.

The speed's good, boys.

Keep it coming.

We're breaking through.

I see some light.

I'm in some kind of a chamber.

There's tile work.

- Slime!

- What?

It's a river of slime!

There's gotta be 25,000 gallons of it.

It's flowing through here like a river.

Van Horne. Pneumatic

transit. I can't believe it.

It's the old pneumatic transit

system, it's still here.

Okay. That's good.

Hold me up. That's good.

What do you see?

All right. Let's see

if I can get a sample.

What's going on here?

Hey, what's the story?

Hey, what, you boneheads are gonna

come and roust me out again?

I got 3000 phones out

in Greenwich Village.

I got about 8 million miles

of cable I gotta check.

You gonna come shake

my monkey tree again?!

What are you talking about, buddy?

The phone lines are over there.

What did I say to you? The

phone lines are over there.

- What did I say? How many times?

- Hey! Hey!

Hey, you're not with Con Ed or

the phone company. We checked.

So tell me another one.

I've got a major gas leak here!

Where do you think all this

is coming from, the sky?

Okay, boys.

Boys?

Pull me up now, all right?

There's some kind of activity

going on with this stuff.

Boys? Hey, help!

- Take me up!

- Ray!

Start it! Start it!

Boys? Hey, what's

going on up there?

Come on! Get me out of this hole!

Sweetie.

Hello.

Go back to sleep, darling.

- Who is it?

- It's Janosz.

Janosz.

Hello, Janosz.

- This is a surprise.

- Oh, hello.

Uh, yes. Well, I happened to

be here in this neighborhood

and I thought that I would stop

by to see how is it with you.

Yeah, because of all

this blackness, it was.

- We're fine. Thank you. Thank...

- Well, then, you're okay?

- How's the baby?

- He's okay. Yes.

- He's sleeping.

- Oh, but I "woo"-ed.

- That's okay.

- All right, and

do you need anything? You know?

Do you want me to come in?

- No, thank you.

- All right.

Just thought that I

would check. You know.

Well, hey, you. Don't

let the bedbugs bite.

Good night, Janosz.

Before we begin this trial, I want

to make one thing very clear.

The law does not recognize

the existence of ghosts

and I don't believe in them either.

I don't want to hear a lot of malarkey

about goblins, spooks and demons.

We're gonna stick to

the facts in this case

and leave the ghost stories

to the kiddies, understood?

Wow, sounds like a pretty

open-minded guy, huh?

Yeah, they call him "The Hammer."

What can we do? It's all in

the hands of our lawyer now.

I think you guys are

making a big mistake.

I do mostly tax law and some

probate stuff occasionally.

I got my law degree

at night school.

Well, that's fine, Louis.

We got arrested at night.

Look, just put these guys away fast

and make sure they go away

for a long, long time, okay?

I don't think it's gonna be hard,

with this list of charges.

Good. Very good.

Violating a judicial

restraining order,

willful destruction of public

property, fraud, malicious mischief.

See you in a couple of years,

at your first parole hearing.

You'll never take us alive.

All right, all right.

Let's get on with it.

Your Honor,

ladies and gentlemen

of the audience,

I don't think it's fair to

call my clients frauds.

Okay, so the blackout was a big

problem for everybody, okay?

I was stuck 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.

Very good, Louis.

Short but pointless.

Mr. Fianella,

please look at exhibits A through

F on the table over here.

Do you recognize this equipment?

Yeah, that's the stuff the

cops took from their truck.

Do you know what this

equipment is used for?

I don't know. Catching

ghosts, maybe? I don't know.

May I remind the court the defendants

are under a judicial restraining order

that strictly forbids them

from performing services

as paranormal investigators

or eliminators.

So noted.

Now, Mr. Fianella,

can you identify the substance

in this jar marked "Exhibit F"?

Yeah. Yeah, that's

the stuff, all right.

Your Honor, I've been working

underground for Con Ed for 27 years.

I never saw anything

like this in my life.

Whatever's down there,

they must've put it there.

- No, we didn't!

- Ray, Ray.

Shut up!

- So you were just trying to help...

- Help out a friend.

- Who was frightened.

- Who was scared.

And when you're scared... What?

- There was no evil...

- No evil was intended. No malice.

When you live in a place and

you love it like you do,

you don't want nothing

bad to happen.

- What?

- It was a one-shot...

Because it'll never happen again. It's an

isolated incident, it's a one-shot deal.

- Objection, Your Honor.

- What?

- He's leading the witness.

- Sustained.

Give me a break.

We're both lawyers.

Mr. Tully, do you have any

questions for this witness

that might have some

bearing on this case?

- Do I?

- No, we've helped them out enough.

No, Your Honor.

Your witness.

Dr. Venkman...

would you please tell the court why

it is that you and your co-defendants

took it upon yourselves to dig a very

big hole in the middle of First Avenue.

Well, there's so many

holes in First Avenue

we really didn't think

anyone would notice.

Keep that up, mister,

I'll find you in contempt.

I'm truly sorry, Your Honor.

I'll ask you again, Dr. Venkman,

why were you digging the hole?

And please remember

you're under oath.

There are some things in this world

that go way beyond

human understanding.

Things that cannot be explained,

things that most people

don't wanna know about.

That is where we come in.

So what you're saying is that

the world of the supernatural

is your exclusive province?

Kitten, I think what

I'm saying is that

sometimes shit happens,

someone has to deal with it,

and who you gonna call?

Shut up!

Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz,

Egon Spengler, stand up!

Get up!

You too, Mr. Tully.

I find you guilty on all charges.

I order you to pay fines in

the amount of $25,000 each.

I sentence you to 18 months at the city

correctional facility at Riker's Island.

Egie, she's twitching.

I'm not finished!

On a more personal note,

let me just go on record

as saying that there's no place

for fakes, charlatans...

- Uh, your Honor...

- Shut up!

- Tricksters like you in decent society.

- Your Honor, this is important.

You play on the gullibility

of innocent people.

- Yes, sir.

- Be quiet!

- But...

- 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!

Oh, my God, the Scoleri brothers.

- The Scoleri brothers!

- Friends of yours?

I tried them for murder!

Gave them the chair!

You gotta do something!

Why don't you just tell them

you don't believe in ghosts.

You gotta do something. Help me!

Don't talk to me.

Talk to my attorney.

That's me! My guys are still under

a judicial misstrangement order.

That blue thing I got from her.

They could be exposing themselves.

And you don't want us

exposing ourselves.

- You're next, Bubbles.

- All right! I rescind the order!

- Case dismissed!

- Hurray! We won the case!

Now, do something!

I always hated this

part of the business.

You know, it's been a couple

years since we used this stuff.

- I hope it still works.

- It should.

Power cells have a

half-life of 5000 years.

There's no time for a bench test.

Heat them up.

- Do...

- Re...

Egon!

You got him, Venkman!

Hold him! Steady.

Come on, big boy. I'm gonna take

you home to my private zoo.

You got him. You got him!

- Egie, bring the trap.

- Okay, okay.

Behind you, Ray!

Hold him, Ray!

Venkman, start bringing him back!

Come on, you big meanie.

Let's go, chubby.

Ray, keep pulling him to the right.

Okay, the trap's going in.

No, no, Spengie!

- Hold it, Ray!

- Hit it!

- Two in the box!

- Ready to go!

- We be fast.

- And they be slow!

We're the best! We're the

beautiful! We're the only

- We're back!

Yes, we're back.

Because that's not all.

hot-beverage thermal mug

and free balloons for the kids?

♪ Ghostbusters ♪

We've been experimenting with the

plasm we found in the subway tunnel.

Careful.

- Should I get spoons?

- Don't bother. Watch this.

Try it, Ray.

You! You worthless piece of slime!

You ignorant, disgusting blob.

You're nothing but an unstable

short-chain molecule!

You foul, obnoxious muck!

You have a weak

electrochemical bond!

I have seen some

disgusting crud in my time

but you take the cake.

- You're a... You're just...

- Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

This is what you do

with your spare time?

Peter, this is an

incredible breakthrough.

What a discovery.

A psycho-reactive substance.

Whatever this stuff is, it responds

to human emotional states.

Mood slime.

Oh, baby.

You mean this stuff actually

feeds on bad vibes.

Like a cop in a doughnut factory.

We've been running tests to see if we can

get an equally strong positive reaction.

What kind of tests?

Well, we sing to it

and we talk to it

and say supportive,

nurturing things to it.

You're not sleeping

with it, are you, Ray?

Oh, you.

- It's always the quiet ones.

- You hound.

- Ahem. How about the kinetic tests?

- Okay.

Ordinary household toaster.

We'll take your word for that.

It responds to music, so we've

been doing some experimentation,

playing easy listening.

Middle-of-the-road-type stuff.

You know, Paul Young, "Dust in

the Wind". That works okay.

- Works for me.

- Loves Jackie Wilson.

Jeez. You guys do this at

night when I'm not here?

Oh, I get it. It sings. It

sounds exactly like Jackie.

- That's fantastic.

- Just watch.

Does it do Emmylou Harris?

Right, and the first time somebody gets

mad, that toaster could eat their hand.

No, no, no. We put a warning label

on it. We don't have any liability.

Oh, did you ever go for it!

The old man-eating toaster bit.

- Get him!

- No!

Hello. I'm looking

for Dana Barrett.

- Room 304, restoration.

- Thank you.

Hey, Dr. Venkman!

World of the Psychic.

- That's right. How you doing?

- I'm a big, big fan of yours.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

It used to be one of

my two favorite shows.

You're kidding me. Well, great.

What was the other one?

- Bass Masters. It's a fishing show.

- Yeah, I know Bass Masters. Sure.

You're good, pretty eyes.

I didn't paint it.

I'm just cleaning it.

- It's a Gauguin.

- Oh, I've heard of him.

Hey, Dana. Aren't you going to

introduce me to your friend?

Sure. Peter Venkman,

this is Dr. Janosz Poha,

the head of our department.

Yes, I have, of course, have

seen you on the television.

Quite enjoy. You're not

here on business, I hope?

Well, it's top-secret. Say,

Johnny, you got a Gauguin too.

No. Actually, I'm preparing this portrait

for the new Romantic exhibition.

Yes. This is Prince Vigo, the

ruler of Carpathia and Moldavia.

Bit of a sissy, isn't he?

He was a very powerful

magician, Dr. Venkman.

And a genius in many ways.

He was also a lunatic

and a genocidal madman.

I hate this painting.

I've felt uncomfortable

ever since it came up from storage.

Well, you're probably feeling

what Vigo is feeling.

Carpathian kitten loss.

He's missed his kitten.

We'll just put one in

here by the castle.

We don't go around altering

valuable artwork, Dr. Venkman.

Go. Yes, I think, go.

Yes, the joyfulness is over.

He's kidding.

Well, you're not gonna get a green

card with that attitude, pal. Okay?

I don't know what to...

Oh, of course. Of course.

I get it. You're sweet on

this hunky stud, aren't you?

You know, Peter, every now

and then I get the feeling

that painting is watching

me, even smiling at me.

You know, I think we got

more food on your shirt

than we did in your mouth.

Okay.

Bath. You get to take

a bath, don't you?

Yes, do your favorite thing.

Because I know what you get to do.

You know what you get to do?

Do you know what's more

fun than anything? Huh?

Splash Mommy.

"I get to splash Mommy." Yes.

We'll be ready in just a moment.

Mommy's gonna take

her shirt off too.

No! No!

Peter, it's me. Please let us in.

What the hell is this?

Peter, let us in, please.

I didn't know where else to go.

The most awful thing happened.

The bathtub... the bathtub

was trying to eat Oscar.

I was giving him a bath. There was

all this pink ooze everywhere

- and it was reaching for him.

- Okay, you're all right.

I'm not gonna let them get you.

- All right. You're all safe now, okay?

- I was so terrified.

- Yes, darling. I'm so sorry.

- You guys just sit down. Relax.

Come on. Just sit down. I'll get you

guys a shirt or something. Hold on.

Ray. Yeah, Dana's just

come over to my place.

Well, actually, her

tub tried to eat her.

What? Are you serious?

Well, that's great!

I mean, that's terrible.

But it's great for what we...

Yeah, I will.

Yeah, sure, we'll get right on it.

Spengler. A major slime-related

psychokinetic event.

- What happened?

- Something came out of Dana's bathtub.

- Tried to grab her and the baby.

- Are they all right?

- She got out and went to Venkman's.

- This is interesting, Ray.

Remember the painting

Venkman mentioned?

I ran "Vigo the Carpathian"

through the occult reference net.

Look what came up.

Ooh. Nice ugly history.

You think there's a connection between

this Vigo character and the...

slime?

Is the atomic weight

of cobalt 58.9?

We better get over to Dana's apartment.

I'd like to check out that bathtub.

It might be a good idea to go

to the museum in the morning,

get a look at that painting.

Ray's gonna go on over to your

place and just take a look.

- He is?

- Okay.

I have been holding on to

this for a long time, Oscar.

I got this from a girl who got

this from Joe Willie Namath, okay?

We don't know how.

We don't wanna know.

So I would appreciate it if you

would not hose this thing down,

you know, give it your own

personal rinse. Thank you.

Be an excellent time for

you to start practicing

a thing we big guys like

to call self-control.

Get out of here. Oh, look at him.

Look at him. Oh, look at his gut.

Oh, he's a coconut, this guy.

You're gonna be staying at Uncle

Pete's until this thing blows over.

This is your place now.

Hi.

Come on in. This is my place.

So how are we gonna handle

the sleeping arrangements?

Well, what's best for me is

if I lie on my side like this

and you spoon up beside me,

your arm draped over me.

We do it the other way,

I get your hair caught in my

throat and I choke in the night.

Well, how about you on the sofa

and me and the baby in the bed?

It's a way to go.

It's so late. I really

ought to put him down.

- May I?

- Yeah, if you want to.

You're short.

Your belly button

sticks out too far.

And you're a terrible

burden on your poor mother.

You find anything at Dana's?

Nothing but mood some slime

residue around the bathtub.

But I did get something on that

Vigo character you mentioned.

Found it in Magicians, Martyrs

and Madmen. Dig that.

Vigo the Carpathian,

born 1505, died 1610.

105 years old. He hung

in there, didn't he?

He didn't die of old age, either.

He was poisoned, stabbed, shot,

hung, stretched, disembowelled,

drawn and quartered.

- I guess he wasn't too popular.

- Not exactly a man of the people.

Also known as Vigo the

Cruel, Vigo the Torturer,

Vigo the Despised and

Vigo the Unholy.

Wasn't he also Vigo the Butch?

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."

Let's suck in the guts, guys.

We're the Ghostbusters.

- Go! Go. Please, go. You. Yes, you.

- Who's this wiggler?

- He's yours, Ray. Sic him.

- I have...

Hi, how are you? Ray Stantz from

the Ghostbusters. Nice to see you.

Beautiful lab you have here. We're

just doing a routine spook check.

Dr. Venkman, Dana is not here.

- Yeah, we know that, Johnny.

- So why are you came?

Well, we got a report there was

a major creep in the area.

We checked our list, and

you were right on the top.

Johnny, where in the hell

are you from, anyway?

The Upper West Side.

The whole room's

extremely hot, Peter.

- Ew, that's one ugly dude.

- Hot?

Oh, that's Vigo. Mr. Vigo? Vigs,

would you look this way, please?

No, don't. No! No!

No photographs, please.

Slides are available

in the gift shop.

Yeah, thanks. Thank you, Winston.

All right. You know what?

Give me angry, will you?

Give me angry. You've had a bad day.

You're cranky. Yeah, thank you.

Good, good. Ooh, angrier.

I'm scared. You're scaring me.

Stop it. Yeah. Good!

Okay, walk for me, talk

for me. Yeah, yeah!

Okay, give me hot and sexy.

Can you do it? You can. Oh, boy.

Show me some teeth. Come on.

I bet the girls like you,

huh? Do the girls?

Do the guys? Bet they both do, huh?

What about the animals?

They like you? That's it, more!

Yeah, come on! You're big, you're big.

All right, destroy me. Destroy me!

Yeah! Destroy me.

Yeah, yeah! Give it, give it!

Venkman, we need to talk. Come on.

I've worked with better.

But not many. Thank you.

John, thanks.

- Hey. Hey, you finished?

- Yeah, I'm finished here.

- Are you all right?

- What?

I mean, you're not coming

down with something?

Me?

Dana. Your prince.

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no.

She cleaned.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Shh. He's asleep. Come here.

- So what happened with my apartment?

- Well,

the guys spent the

whole night there.

They went through all your

things, your personal stuff,

they tried on some of your clothes,

made some long-distance phone calls,

- cleaned out the fridge.

- Did they find anything?

They found a little bit

of that pink slime.

Oh, God. Well, what am

I supposed to do now?

You are supposed to get

dressed and get crazy with me

- on the streets of Manhattan.

- I don't think...

This is exactly what you need.

I have got you a babysitter.

- The whole thing's wired.

- I don't think we should go on a date.

You know, and I can't leave

Oscar in a strange place

with a strange person.

Strange person? Janine

Melnitz, from my staff.

Janine has experience babysitting?

Here.

Thank you.

I've also brought some

things from your apartment.

Some wardrobe choices. A couple

of provocative ensembles in here.

- I'll leave it up to you.

- Okay, but after dinner.

Don't put any of those old

cheap moves on me, okay?

- No, no, no.

- It's different.

I have all new cheap moves.

Hey, you. Hey, you.

It looks like you're awake,

huh? You're awake.

Yes, Osco.

You're gonna have the whole

place to yourself tonight, pal.

It's gonna be pretty neat.

I got some Laura Antonelli

tapes if you wanna watch them.

Dana, did you see some shirts here

- in the floor-bed area?

- Yeah, I put them in the hamper.

- I have a hamper?

- Yeah, it's in the bathroom.

Neat.

Will you tell me next time you're

gonna do that, though, please?

Well, I thought they were dirty.

I have more than two

grades of laundry, okay?

There's not just clean and dirty.

There are many subtle levels, okay?

You hang this outside the

window for 20 minutes,

it's perfectly fine.

Interesting role model

for you, Oscar, huh?

Well, they couldn't get to you

until after the New Year.

Well, just don't go in there.

Louis, I'm closing up!

Well, should I take the

subway or the surface roads?

- Or what? It's kind of busy...

- Well, I'm walking. Good night.

Well, now. Well,

well, hang on, now.

Do you maybe wanna...? No, no.

Do you wanna have

something to eat with me?

Well, yeah, I'd love that.

But I told Dr. Venkman

I'd babysit for him.

- Oh, well...

- Do you wanna babysit with me?

- Okay. I would.

- Great. His place at 8.

- Bye.

- His place at 8. All right.

- I can get his address from the W2...

- Hey, buddy. Move it!

We were right, Ray. Multi-planar

Kirlian emanations.

Yeah, well, here's your

next month's cover of GQ.

Check out the aura on this sucker.

Now, there's definitely

a living presence there.

We should get a deeper look.

Why don't I run this wider shot

through the spectral analyzer.

Good, I'll try turning

up the roentgens.

So, what do you think? Chinese?

- How about Thai?

- No, it's too spicy.

- Greek?

- Mexican?

- Pizza.

- Thin or thick?

Chicago.

What the hell is that?

I know what it is.

- I've seen it before.

- Where?

When you guys had me dangling

like a worm on a hook

a hundred feet below First Avenue.

That's the river of slime.

Ray.

We need a blanket or

a hose or something.

Get out.

Why is this closed?

Winston! Winston!

- Fire!

- Back away, back away.

What are we gonna do,

put our heads in the toilet?

Taxi!

Pete, it's great that you're here.

We've got incredible news.

Wait a minute. Can I have one try?

All-you-can-eat barbecue

rib night at the Sizzler?

No. We analyzed the

photos you took of Vigo.

The spectrogram shows a river

of slime flowing behind him.

Just like the one I saw underground. We're

going into the subway and sewer system

to see if we can trace

the source of the flow.

Yeah, come on. Change your

clothes. We'll wait for you.

Yeah, Egon thinks there might even

be a tremendous breeding surge

- in the cockroach population.

- Hi, boys. What's up?

Hi.

Dana, the guys are going down into

the sewer to check for slime stuff.

And Egon thinks there may even be

a huge surge in cockroach breeding.

Wanna blow off this dinner

thing and go with them?

Taxi!

Women, huh?

Will you watch your step?

I hate this.

According to this old transit map, there

should be an entrance along here somewhere.

I'm not getting anything yet.

Well, at least it's too dark

to see the cockroaches.

Forget about cockroaches. It's the

subway rats you gotta worry about.

Big as beavers.

Yeah, some of them go 4 or 5 kilos.

Hey, hey. Enough, all right?

Listen. You can hear

them behind the walls,

scratching. There must

be thousands of them.

- Just shut up about the rats.

- Okay, okay.

Hello!

Hey!

Hello!

Winston.

Okay, I'm out of here.

They're gone.

What the...?

Before we go any further, I think

we should get our proton packs.

Good idea.

- What's that?

- What's what?

Sounds like a train.

Uh-uh. These lines have been

abandoned for 50 years.

Probably in one of the

tunnels above us.

I don't know.

It sounds awfully close to me.

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?

Sorry. I missed it.

Something's trying to

stop us. We must be close.

Where's Ray?

- Ray?

- Ray?

- Ray!

- Ray?

- Ray?

- Ray.

Guys!

- What?

- Oh, sorry. I found it.

- Right here. There's a hole.

- Let's go.

Hey, fellas, what about the packs?

What about the packs?

Unbelievable.

Uh-huh. Did I tell you?

I wasn't lying, was I?

You know how much negative energy it must

have taken to generate a flow this size?

New York, what a town.

All right. Let's see

how deep it is.

- Get a sounding.

- Yeah.

All right, 6 feet.

- Twelve feet.

- Twelve?

- Something's pulling it.

- Hold on!

- Well, I'm trying to hold it.

- Ray, help him.

- Give me a hand. Give me a hand!

- Ray, help.

- It's got ahold of him.

- Get his belt off!

- I can't hold it!

- Wait, wait, hold...

A toast to the most charming,

- kindest...

- Oh, it's me.

It's you. And most unusual man

I've ever broken up with.

Speaking of breaking

up with neat guys,

- why did you dump me?

- I didn't dump you. I was

protecting myself.

I mean, you weren't very

good for me, you know.

You know that, don't you?

Heck, I'm not even good for me.

You're much better than you realize.

You don't give yourself enough credit.

I need to hear that kind of stuff.

If I had this kind of support

on a 24-hour-a-day basis,

I could whip myself into shape

by the end of this century.

Well, why don't you just give

me a jingle in the year 2000.

Why don't I give you

a jingle right now?

So the seven little dwarves had a limited

partnership in a small mining operation.

And one day a beautiful princess

came to live with them.

They bartered housekeeping services for

room and board. Which was a real good deal,

because they didn't have to withhold

social security or income tax or nothing.

Which you're really not supposed to do, you

see, but for the purposes of this story...

It really is a great place.

I mean, it needs a woman's touch,

but I think it looks really

good. You know...

Shh. Bedtime.

You're very good with children.

Thanks. I practiced on my hamster.

So you live alone?

I used to have a roommate,

but my mom moved to Florida.

Why don't you come over

here and sit with me.

Okay.

So you wanna play Boggle

or Super Mario Brothers?

You know...

I think motherhood's a

very natural instinct.

I'd like a child myself.

Would you?

Tonight?

Nice going. Ray.

What are you trying

to do, drown me?

Oh, Yeah, Zeddmore,

like it was my fault.

You were too stupid not

to drop that plumb line!

Stupid? You better watch your

mouth or I'll punch your lights out.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah!

- Well, anytime!

- Come on!

It's go time, man. I want you bad!

Come on!

Wait! Wait!

Stop, stop. Get your

clothes off, quick. Strip.

Oh, dear. Ray, what were we

doing? I was ready to kill you.

It's this stuff. It's like pure,

concentrated evil.

And it's all flowing

right to this spot.

- You sure this is it?

- Yeah, he said Armand's.

- Excuse me...

- It's all right. We'll look in the back.

Venkman!

Hey, Venkman!

Please leave. You cannot...

Get out of my restaurant!

It was absolutely incredible!

The greatest tangible evidence

of psychic energy in 100 years.

- You're disturbing our guests!

- This is an emergency. One second.

Boys, you're scaring the straights, okay?

Is there any way we can do this tomorrow?

No, this won't wait until tomorrow,

Venkman. It's hot and it's ready to pop.

- Yeah. It's all over the city, Pete.

- Under it, actually.

- Rivers of this stuff.

- It's all flowing right to the museum.

Yeah, the museum!

Look what he got all over me!

What is this stuff?

- Sorry.

- Oh, God. You mean my museum?

I was gonna tell you between the

dessert and the cheese course.

- There they are!

- You can never go back there.

- You're gonna have to find a new job.

- Psychomagnotheric plasma.

- It affects behavior. We were fighting.

- We were in a fight.

He had him by the throat...

I'm glad they're here.

We gotta see the mayor.

Have to take control ♪

- Oh, Ghostbusters!

- How you doing?

Hey, guys, come right this way.

You guys got another one of those proton

packs? My kid brother really wants one.

- The proton pack is not a toy.

- I guess he's right.

Dana, we were just

babysitting, honest.

And we watched some TV and had something to

eat and then and one thing led to another.

- I know what you were doing.

- I didn't know anything would happen.

Hi, Dana. How was your date?

- It wasn't a date, it was just dinner.

- Well, where's Peter?

He was arrested.

Typical.

- Did he call?

- No, no. Nobody called.

Well, how's Oscar? Is he all right?

Oh, he's fine. Such a good baby.

He was a little fussy at first,

then we just gave him

some French bread pizza,

passed right out.

Good. Good. Well, I'll

just give him a look-see.

- So you think we should go?

- Gee, I don't know.

I don't think we should

leave her alone.

You're right. Let's stay.

- Lenny! Big man!

- Ghostbusters.

Mr. Mayor.

What is this? A slumber party?

That's what we're

here to talk about.

Look, I don't wanna hear

anything about it.

You've got two minutes.

Make it good.

Well, first of all, Mr. Mayor, it's

a great pleasure to see you again.

We'd like to say that almost 50 percent

of us voted for you in the last election.

- I appreciate that.

- I'm just sorry we always meet

under these circumstances.

Mr. Mayor, we're here tonight because

a psychomagnotheric slime flow

of immense proportions is

building up beneath the city.

- Psycho-what?

- Psychomagnotheric.

- Big word.

- Negative human emotions

are materializing in the form of

a viscous, psychoreactive plasm

with explosive

supernormal potential.

Does anybody speak English here?

Yeah, Your Honor, what we're

trying to tell you is, like,

all the bad feelings, I mean,

all the hate, the anger and violence

of this city is turning

into this sludge.

I didn't believe it at first either,

but we just went for a swim in it,

and we ended up almost

killing each other.

This is insane! I mean, do we

really have to listen to this?

Can't you stop your lips from

flapping for two little minutes?

Lenny, have you been

out on the street lately?

Do you know how weird it is out there?

We've taken our own head count.

There seem to be 3 million

completely miserable assholes

- living in the Tri-State area.

- Oh, please.

I beg your pardon.

3 million and one.

What budgie-brain here doesn't realize

is that if we don't do something fast,

this whole place is gonna blow

like a frog on a hot plate.

- Yeah, right.

- What am I supposed to do?

Go on television and

tell 10 million people

they have to be nice to each other?

Being miserable and treating

other people like dirt

is every New Yorker's

God-given right.

Your two minutes are up.

Good night, gentlemen.

- Wait.

- You're making a mistake, Mr. Mayor.

A very newsworthy mistake. The

Times is gonna be interested in this,

- and you know The Post...

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now, now...

"Mayor Drowns in River of Slime."

- "Times Square Slime."

- "Slime Square."

Fine. Now, before you go running

off to the newspapers with this,

would you consider telling this slime

business to some of our people downtown?

It's gotta be done right away.

Well, it's gonna come back!

This city's in danger!

The whole state! The world!

- All we wanna do is help!

- I'm warning you.

The mayor wants them kept under strict

observation for the next few days.

We think they're seriously disturbed

and potentially dangerous.

- Well, we'll do whatever's necessary.

- Thank you, doctor.

I await the word of Vigo.

I, Vigo,

- the scourge of Carpathia,

- No, you told me this, the scourge.

- the sorrow of Moldavia,

- Sorrows, I've heard all of this, yes.

- command you.

- Command me, lord.

The season of evil begins with

the birth of the new year.

Good.

Bring me the child,

that I might live again.

Yes!

Lord Vigo...

I was wondering.

This woman, Dana,

is fine and strong.

Now...

if I was to

bring the baby,

could I have that woman?

So be it.

On this day of darkness,

she will be ours.

Wife to you and mother to me.

Yes!

Thank you, lord! Thank you.

- I mean, is she the killer or what?

- No, that's Rita Hayworth.

She was married to Citizen Kane

while they were doing this thing.

Right after they finished, she dumped

him for some polo player. Thanks.

I don't know why beautiful women love

horses so much. Do you love horses?

- No.

- You really don't have to stay.

I'm sure Peter will be back soon.

Oh, we don't mind.

Can you see okay?

Yep.

Oscar?

Oh, God!

Oscar!

Louis!

- What?

- It's Oscar!

- Oscar.

- Call 911 right now!

Oscar.

Oh, no.

Oh, God. No!

No!

- It was a ghost!

- No.

- No, that was Janosz.

- What?

- He took him.

- What? What's happening?

- What should we do?

- Where's the baby?

The museum!

- Where are you going?

- I've gotta get my baby!

We gotta find the guys.

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.

And are there any other paintings in

the museum with bad spirits in them?

You're wasting valuable time.

He's drawing strength from

a psychomagnotheric slime flow that's

been collecting under the city.

- Yes, tell me about the slime.

- It's very potent stuff.

We made a toaster dance with it.

And a bathtub tried to

eat his friend's baby.

A bathtub?

Don't look at me. I think these

people are completely nuts.

Oscar.

Sweetheart.

I thought I'd lost you, that

I'd never see you again.

Oh, baby.

Hello, Dana. I thought

that you might come.

You stay away from

us, Janosz. I mean it.

Oh, don't worry. He

will not be harmed.

He has been chosen

to be the vessel of

the spirit of Vigo.

And you will be the mother

of the ruler of the world.

Doesn't that sound nice?

No, it sounds ludicrous.

You stay away from him. I mean it.

Well, I don't think we have

choice here, yes? Take a look.

It's not Gainsborough's

Blue Boy there, huh?

He is Vigo.

I don't care who he is.

You're not gonna take my baby.

Oscar!

Is this a big dinosaur

A skeleton? Which

way was it heading?

Wait a sec. What was

chasing you in the park?

The park bench was chasing you?

- I see.

- What?

Wait a second.

Lieutenant, I think you

better talk to this guy.

I'm busy here.

It's some dock supervisor

down at Pier 34.

What's the problem?

He says the Titanic just arrived.

Well, better late than never.

We're swamped. We've had more than

3000 calls since midnight last night.

We've got every man in uniform on

the streets and I'm still shorthanded.

We've got meter maids chasing

ghosts all over midtown.

There's this shell thing over the Manhattan

Museum of Art. We can't make a dent.

- Have you tried dynamite?

- We've tried everything.

What the hell's going on?

It's pandemonium out there.

- I know. We're working on it.

- Great. While you're working on it,

I'm going down in history as

the mayor who let New York

get sucked down into

the 10th level of hell.

All right. We've got no choice.

Call the Ghostbusters.

Wait!

Now, I'm sure there's another way.

Jack, I spent an hour last night in my

bedroom talking to Fiorello La Guardia,

and he's been dead for 40 years.

Now, where are the Ghostbusters?

They're not available.

What do you mean,

they're not available?

Well, I had them committed to the

psychiatric ward at Parkview Hospital.

- You what?

- They threatened to go to the press.

I was protecting your interests.

Yeah? Well, you can stop

protecting my interests.

You have exactly three minutes

to clear out. You're fired!

But the election...

- Remove this man.

- You're making a mistake.

- And get me the Ghostbusters!

- Mr. Mayor, come take a look at this.

What is it?

Have you ever seen

anything like that?

Somebody get me the Ghostbusters.

Then he put the baby in a

carriage and then levitated away.

Where did Dana go?

She was going to the museum

to get the baby back.

Then there was an eclipse. The whole

town went dark and everybody's nuts.

It all fits. Vigo wants

in on the 21st century.

He needs a human body to

inhabit. Little Oscar must be it.

And I bet we're the

only ones who can help.

You bet we are.

it looks like a giant Jell-O mold.

I hate Jell-O.

Oh, come on. There's

always room for Jell-O.

Soon it will be midnight and the

city will be mine and Vigo's.

Well, mainly Vigo's.

Dana.

You and I have this terrific opportunity

to make the best of this relationship.

We don't have a relationship.

I know! Marry me, Dana.

Together we will raise

Vigo as our son.

And let me tell you something here.

There are many perks in being

the mother of a living god.

I'm sure we could get a

magnificent apartment,

a car, free parking.

Many marriages begin with a

certain amount of distance.

Yet I think that perhaps

you and I could learn...

to love each other?

Yes.

I could learn.

Pull them.

Full neutronas.

Let's cook!

Save them.

That slime wall is

pulsing with evil.

It would take a tremendous amount

of positive energy to crack that shell

and I seriously doubt that there's enough

goodwill left in this town to do it.

I just can't believe things have gotten so

bad in this city that there's no way back.

I mean, sure, it's dirty, it's

crowded, it's polluted, it's noisy,

and there's people all around who'd just

as soon step on your face as look at you.

But come on!

There gotta be a few sparks of sweet

humanity left in this burned-out burg.

We just have to figure

out a way to mobilize it.

He's right. We need something that everyone

in this town can get behind. We need...

A symbol.

Something that appeals to the

best in each and every one of us.

Something good.

Something decent.

Something pure.

Kind of makes you

wonder, doesn't it?

Wonder what?

Whether she's naked

under that toga.

She's French. You know that.

Got it.

Ready with the speakers,

Ray. Slime blowers ready.

Okay. Internal audio set.

Internal electric set.

Slime blower primed and set.

Ooh, good slime. Good slime. Winston,

is our slime in a good mood tonight?

I hope so. She's a lot

bigger than a toaster.

All yours, Venkman. Let's go.

Thank you. Testing,

one, two, testing.

Hey, how many of you people here

tonight are a national monument?

Would you raise your hand,

please. Oh, hello, miss.

- Let's frost it.

- It's slime time.

Beautiful.

Pilot controls are ready.

All right. It's getting late. It's

almost midnight. Let's go, Venkman.

Here's something off the request

line from Liberty Island!

We gonna squeeze some New

Year's juice from you, Big Apple.

- Can't you go any faster?

I'm afraid the vibrations

will shake her to pieces.

- We should have padded her feet.

- They don't make Nikes in her size.

Don't worry. She's tough.

She's a harbor chick!

Sorry! My fault!

Happy New Year.

Stay fit. Keep sharp.

Make good decisions.

Oh, good. Oh, good. Oh, good.

Okay.

Oh, it's you.

Okay, but I didn't know

you had your license.

Four minutes to go, and then

party times.

It's happening.

It's really happening.

No. No!

Go away from here!

- I love you when you roughhouse!

- Hit it, Mama!

- Drop the hammer on her!

- Go! Do it now!

- Oscar, look.

- Go away!

- Don't know who that is?

- Happy New Year.

He's Vigo! You are like the

buzzing of flies to him!

Oh, Johnny, did you back the wrong

horse. Will you hose him, please?

Hose him.

- One down.

- On the ground.

- Boy, am I glad to see you.

- Oh, Oscar. Oscar.

Is he dead?

Uh-uh. This slime is

positively charged.

He'll wake up feeling

like a million bucks.

Whoa, this gentleman

is a little bit ripe.

That's all right, my friend.

I think I had an accident too.

Get him away!

Get a knife or something!

We gotta cut her out of this!

Okay.

All right. Now, listen. You

gotta stay right here.

Don't move. Uncle Pete's gotta

go help your mom for a second.

You stay here and don't

say anything, okay?

Hold it right there, deadhead!

You want a baby? Go ahead and

knock up some willing hellhound.

Otherwise, I'm giving you three to get

back in that painting where you belong.

One!

Two.

Three!

You got him! You got him!

That was really stupid.

Ray, can you move?

No. Are you okay?

No.

Venkman, how are you?

I'm fine.

No.

No! Oscar.

Please, do something!

Not so fast, Vigo!

Hey, Vigo!

Yeah, you. The bimbo with the baby.

Didn't anybody tell you the

big-shoulder look is out?

You know, I have met some

dumb blonds 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.

Oh, darn it.

Now we become one.

- Where's that singing coming from?

- People outside.

Excuse me. Ghostbusters.

I'm here with you, guys.

He's weakening! The singing

is neutralizing the slime!

I can move!

Oscar!

Oh, sweetie.

It's okay.

He's back in the painting!

All right, go find a shady spot.

Vigie, Vigie, Vigie. You

have been a bad monkey.

Ray, we'd like to shoot the monster.

Could you move, please?

- Ray.

- Ray.

No!

I, Ray and Vigo,

shall rule the Earth!

- Be gone, you pitiful half-men!

- Now!

- I did it! I did it!

- That was great!

- I'm a Ghostbuster!

- I loved it!

- You all right?

- Come on, get up. Let's get this off.

Here.

Here we go.

- How do you feel?

- Groovy.

- You all right?

- Yes. Thank you, Peter.

Spread out, shorty.

I love you guys.

- I love all you guys.

- Great, Ray.

- And I love Venkman.

- Let's go.

- We gotta live with this?

- Real friendship.

Yeah.

Sir, are you all right?

Why am I drippings with goo?

You had a violent, prolonged,

transformative psychic episode.

Sorry we had to hose you there, but

you were kind of out of control.

Hey, man,

let me tell you something.

I love you.

- Yes?

- Yeah.

Well, I love you too.

Hey, fellas.

You wanna take a look at this?

Wow.

Early Renaissance, I think.

Raphael or Piero della Francesca.

No, I believe it's one

of the Fettuccines.
