[upbeat techno music]

[Eddie] Are you ready, Tracy?

Yep.

Hang on, here you go.



[Tracy] Whee!

What will you think of next?

[Tracy laughs]

Rub a dub dub, one
gorilla in a tub.

[Tracy spits]

That looks like fun!

It is!

You wanna ride, Jake?

Later.

Right now Jessica's
reporting on TV from Norway.

This is Jessica Wray
reporting live from Norway,

where I will be
accompanying this years

global peace prize
winner, Alex Miller,

to Oslo where he will
be awarded his prize.

Dr. Miller is well known
for his contributions

to world peace.

Peace! That's what's wrong
with the world!

All these humans ever
talk about is peace!

Peace, peace, peace!

They should give you
a prize for evil.

You can say that again,
Fib-Face.

Okay, they should give-

Silence!

[bones rattling]

You have an idea, I can tell.

What is it,
Oh Master of Meanness?

If the prize winner
is captured,

there would be no peace prize.

And if every country
blamed the other,

there would be no peace.

Exactly, Bratty, exactly.

[laughs evilly]
Oh, let me do it master!

Please, please! Masty please!

You can't be spared,
my precious pet.

But one of you can.

[all] Send him!

I just remembered I have
something I have to do.

[robot crashing]

Hello, pull yourself
together, Scared Stiff.

I'm trying to find my feet.

Here, let me help.

Oh, very cold.

Getting warmer.

Warmer.

Now you're hot!

Ah ha! You were
trying to fool me!

Now, just put this on.

[Airhead laughing]

Look at him, he doesn't know

his left foot from his right!

Make sure that silly peace
prize isn't awarded this year.

And send me a post
card from Sweden.

Sorry great one, but
Oslo is in Norway.

That's what I said,
you nincompoop.

Of course you did.

[upbeat techno music]

We will be traveling
to Oslo by train.

Jessica must be so proud
to be the only reporter

traveling with the winner.

Stopping in cities to give
interviews to the press.

Oh, look.

Jake, that snowman just moved.

[snowman bouncing]

That's no snowman!

It's Airhead!

Jessica, look out!

[Jessica] Would you care to
say a few words, Dr. Miller?

[Airhead exclaims]

Look out!

Oh, no, it's Airhead!

Are you all right?

Yes, thanks to you.

This is a job for...

oh, I hope you're
watching guys...

the Ghostbusters!

We're watching, Jess!

Flight mode, Tracy.

[Ghost Buggy]
Where to this time?

Norway.

Jessica needs us.

[car whirring]

[Ghost Buggy] I hate the cold.

[Eddie] You'll have your
friends to keep you warm, G.B.

[Ghost Buggy] That's
what I'm afraid of.

I should have known
Airhead would gum it up!

I'll have to send someone else.

Now let me see who.

Apparitia!

Yes, Your Lowness.

[Prime Evil] Stop that train!

Take Scared Stiff with you.

And make sure he
doesn't lose his head.

[upbeat music]

There's the train.

Drop the ladder, Trace
and we'll climb down.

[computer beeping]

Okay, Eddie, you're next.

And to think I had to talk Pop

into letting me
be a Ghostbuster.

Oh, boy.

[Eddie exclaims]

Come on, Eddie,
what's the matter?

Oh my gosh!

[train whistle blows]

We're gonna hit!

[Eddie screaming]

Wow, that was close.

Bring it back down, Tracy.

Hey, this isn't so bad.

Yeah.

[Eddie crashes]

Okay, Trace.

Put G.B. on automatic
and come on down.

[Jessica] So, that's
all I know Jake.

I'm sure glad you're here.

Prime Evil will stop atnothing to accomplish his evil.

I know.

Any threat to world peace
concerns me greatly.

Well, we're all in good
hands with the Ghostbusters.

You know, the most
important thing in life

is how we treat each other.

We know.

Thanks for coming.

[kiss smacks]

[train whistle blows]

Here, I'll do that Jessica.

Thanks, Eddie.

Now, stay there.

Not again!

Allow me.

Be my guest.

[metal squeaks]

[metal squeaks]

Wait to go, Tracy.

[fists bang]

[train whistle blows]

Oooh, what's this?

Huh?

Oh, I beg your pardon.

Who said that?

Oh, hello.

Yikes!

Who are you?

The new train driver.

Train driver?

You mean engineer.

No, I'm the only engineer
who drives this train.

I wouldn't be so
sure about that.

[Apparitia screeches]

Oh, no!

Anything you say, lady.

Or whatever you are!

Lady will do just fine.

Now, time to put this
tin can in high gear.

Get ready, Alex.

We're coming into the station.

Jake, shouldn't we
be slowing down?

You're right.

We seem to be going faster.

[train chugging]

And now the moment
we've been waiting for.

The arrival of this
years global peace-

[train whizzing]

...prize winner.

What happened?

[Tracy] Help.

Ladies and gentlemen, we
seem to have ourselves

a runaway train!

[train whistle blows]

[Jessica] Hey, Jake,
your nose it twitching.

You're right, Jess!

[door bangs]

That could only mean-

Gh-ghost has taken
over th-the train!

Prime Evil strikes again!

Jake, look!

[Jess] Apparitia!

And Scared Stiff!

Don't come near me!

Hello and goodbye, ghoulies.

Not so fast.

Ready, Scared Stiff?

Now, switch it on.

[electronic buzzing]

[laughing] Pardon
my shocking you!

Oh no! Scared Stiff short
circuited the dematerializer.

Nothing can stand up
to the power of evil.

You are wrong.

Peace is stronger than evil.

Well said, Dr. Miller.

You'll see, Apparitia.

What you won't see,
is your peace prize.

The prize is not important.

It is merely a symbol of peace.

Well, I'm glad you
feel that way

because you're not
leaving this train.

Bye, bye all.

Scared Stiff and I are
going back to the engine.

Oooh, I just love
runaway trains.

[door crashing]

Ow.

[Jessica] Jake, that
sounds like an airlock!

She's right,
the door won't open.

Hey, folks, we've got a
runaway train on our hands.

We've gotta stop it.

You're right.

How do we get to the engine.

Well, if we can't go
through the train,

we'll just have to
go over the train.

Stay here, Jess.

Come on, Tracy.

We've got some climbing to do!

[fast techno music]

Oh, it's cold.

Be careful Tracy, the ice
has made the train slippery.

Okie dokie.

Find out what's
going on up there.

But it's cold outside!

Then you should've
worn a sweater.

Now move it.

Here I come, whoa.

Whoa!

Help!

[Tracy grunts]

Thanks, Trace.

That's okay.

I'm so cold and scared.

Hey, Scared Stiff, you
really are scared stiff!

You won't be laughing
when I get ahold of you!

[Tracy and Jake laugh]

Whoa! [exclaiming]

That robot's in a hurry.

[metal clanging]

Why me?

Why does this
always happen to me?

To the locomotive, Trace.

Let's drop in on Apparitia.

Sheesh. I know it's
in here someplace.

Gee, Tracy's been looking
all over for this!

Please, Eddie, hurry.

Ah, sure thing, Jess.

Here it is!

Stand back please.

[blowtorch crackling]

[door crashing]

[Jessica] Come on, let's go!

Sorry, Apparitia, Scared
Stiff fell off the train.

Bad break for you.

Break? Oh, you mean this
brake. [laughs evilly]

Oh-oh.

[Jessica] Jake!

By golly, that's my brake!

She's gummed up the works now!

Eddie, zap her with
the Ghost Gummer!

I expected that.

My rubber de-gummer
will take care of you.

I'll just take this with
me, you won't need it.

Bye, bye.

[spooky techno music]

Jake, how are we gonna stop
this train without a brake?

Hey, what time is it?

Midnight. Why?

It's a full moon.

You can call the
wizard for help.

You're right.

Oh, Fuddy, we need you.

Hi, Jake, you called?

Please, make this
train stand still.

Uh, what's that? Speak up?

Train stand still!

Yeah, sure.

Where did that come from?

No, Fuddy, not hill!

Stand still!

[all exclaim]

Oh, sorry guys, got to go now.

Uh oh, what goes
up must come down.

Please not over the top.

[Jessica] Hang on!

[all screaming]

It's no good, the
train's slowing down.

Yeah, and that guy'll get
the peace prize after all.

If we don't put that
train in a deep freeze,

Prime Evil's gonna
put us on ice.

I got it!

A big snowball!

That'll cool 'em
off for a while.

Hmm, for once, you
may have come up

with a good idea, Stiffo.

Boy, if only Prime Evil
could see me now.

Hey, stop!

Oh no!

That fool can't
do anything right!

[Scared stiff yelling]

Blast, it's not even
gonna hit the train.

Oh, but wait!

[intense techno music]

Look!

Come on, Tracy.

I think it's time
for that tub ride.

Jump!

Here comes the train,
quick, take this ladder.

Think you can hold it Tracy?

No problem.

Here comes the train.

Tracy, you did it!

They're saved.

Let's get out of here.

You all blew it!

Brat-A-Rat, send them
to the deep freeze

until they learn their lesson.

Gladly.

[Brat-a-Rat and
Prime Evil laughing]

[upbeat techno music]

Dr. Alex Miller
has just accepted

the global peace prize and
is addressing his audience.

Thank you Ghostbusters
and Jessica Wray

for your support and courage.

We share a common dream.

That one day all
nations will live

in peace and harmony
in a free world.

Dr. Miller sure had a
hard time getting to Oslo

to pick up his peace prize.

For sure.

The journey to
peace is never easy.

But it's worth it.

Like Dr. Miller said, the
most important thing in life

is how we treat each other.

And when you treat people
with respect, it builds trust.

And trust brings about peace.

Major okie dokie.
