[helicopter whirring]
There it is. This is the place.
I found it at last.
The temple of the Diamond of Gloom.
[zinging]
Ze largest diamond in ze world.
Oh, perfect, magnificent, yet mysterious.
And somehow...evil.
But what do those writings say?
"Ze stone must not be removed from..."
It must be left where it is.
[Haunter] Ooh,it shan't be, ol' boy.
-Who are you?-Actually, Haunter's the name.
And this is the most profitablehaunt and hunt of my life.
No, no, nein,you must not touch it.
Of course,I'm going to touch it.
I'm stealing it, ol' chap.
Put it back, put it back. It carries a curse.
It carries a jolly good price tag.
And I'm sick of being a poor ghost.
No! Stop! It must not leave ze temple.
Ta-ta.
Bring it back!
Ze diamond must be here for the full moon.
Where are you?
If ze diamond isn't here for ze full moon,
then, then, oh, it's too terrible to even say.
Hello, information,could I please have the number
of ze Ghostbusters?
[Eddie] You got my ham sandwich. Yours is the tuna.
Okay, okay,who orderedthe banana shake
the banana burgerand the french-friedbananas?
I'm not sure, but I think I did.
[grunts]
Better see if there were any calls while we were out.
[Man on Ansabone] Ghostbusters, this is Professor Von Ziflin.
Und here is the most important thing I've ever had to say.
So listen carefully.
Zis ghost took ze diamond,
und if it isn't...
[call ends]
What? Ghost?
That crazy Ansabone's hung up on him.
[Von Ziflin] Hello. Hello? This is the Professor again.
If ze diamond isn't back in ze temple by the full moon...
[call ends]
Maybe we'd better get a new answerin' phone.
Here, listen, buster,you're not gettin' rid of me.
Then give us the full message.
[chomping] Right.
[Von Ziflin] Zis is the Professor calling again.
Unless ze diamond is zere by ze full moon...
Ah, forget it.
I'll be zere in my helicopter
before zat thing can hang up on me again.
Helicopter? Sounds like he'sabout to land on our building.
Oh, boy! There goes our picnic.
Well, let's get up to the roof.
[Eddie] Up to the roof, Skelevator.
[All] Whoa!
[swish]
[thud]
[Eddie] Phew, what a ride.
[helicopter whirring]
Now what's all this about a ghost?
Unless we get ze diamond from ze ghost and return it
to ze temple by ze full moon tomorrow night...
...ze whole Earth will be cursed.
Gee, I don't like the sound of that.
Then it's Ghost Buggy time.
[All] Let's go Ghostbusters!

[sputtering]
Boy! For a bunch of windbags you guys are sure heavy.
I say, it's a real peach, isn't it?
Oh, darling, it's magnificent.
But a woman should have it, not a man.
Hard cheese, old girl.
I'm the one who tracked it intothat nasty jungle and stole it.
[hissing]
I'll settleyour argument.
The diamond is mine!
Not for its beauty...
[hissing]
...but for what I can do
with its curse.
Surely you don't believe that curse business, old boy.
If you call me "old boy"again...
Oops! Sorry. [chuckles]
My, we're testy today, aren't we?
[smash]
[tires screeching]
-Surprise! -You?
You dare invade my Haunt Quarters!
[hissing]
Guards!
We'll get out when we have the diamond.
- Nab it, Tracy. - Okey-dokey.
Here, dear girl. You said you wanted it.
For the momentI've changed my mind.
Yuck! I almost forgot, I'm a ghost.
I needn't be bothered by Bonzo here.
I'm a ghost! [laughs]
There's no way you can get ahold of me.
And therefore, you can't get ahold of the diamond.
Pity!
[shattering]
It's the curse. He was turned to stone.
Great! No way he can keepus from talking the diamond.
[hissing]
If you want itso much, take it.
[laughing]
Like taking candy from a baby.
Hey, now I'm the one who could be cursed any minute.
Exactly! [evil laugh]
Oh-oh! [grunts]
Got a bag, Eddie?
Maybe if we don't touch the diamond itself...
[instrumental music]
[hissing]You fools
will never returnit to the temple
by the full moon.
The world will be cursed forever.
[laughing evilly]
[pew]
Yeah, thanks, old girl.
Sorry I went to pieces like that.
[Haunter] What areyou blighters doingwith my diamond?
I knew it was in there someplace.
Let's get outta here.
[rumbling]
[laughing]
They don't have a chance.
If the curse doesn't stopthem...
[hissing]
...I will.
Over the jungle at this speed,we might make it after all.
And from the look of that jungle, it's a good thing we're over it.
Boy, what a comfortto know thatdiamond's curse
doesn't workwhen it's in this bag.
Hey, what's going on?
Oh, my gosh!
The bag doesn't protect you from the curse at all!
I'll say it doesn't.
Now I got togo through lifesleeping in matchboxes.
Shove the diamondunder the floorboard.
Maybe if he getsfar enough from it,
he'll return to normal size.
Thanks, Jessica.
I was afraidI'd have to learn
how to saddle up mice.
[Ghost Buggy coughing]
Oh, no, now the Ghost Buggy is cursed.
Oh! That diamond's really gearing me down.
[crash]
Everybody all right?
Well, if you call stranded ina jungle all right, I guess so.
Ah, we're finished. Kaput!
We might still make it if we try.
Somebody grab the curse... I-I mean the diamond.
We'll all take turns. Who's first?
[whistling]
[grunting]
[Ghost Buggy] Say, you bozos, what about me?
You're just gonna leave me hangin'?
Don't worry, G.B., the diamond's effects
will wear off soon.
We'll be back before you know it.
Swell. I can't wait.
Whoa, this is scary!
[cawing]
[screaming]
What's wrong, Jessica?
A little birdwon't hurt you.
[cawing]
[screaming]
You're in luck, Tracy.
So far the diamondhasn't cursed you.
Mm-hmm.
Coming, Professor?Jessica? Eddie!
[squeaking]
Tracy! Oh, no! The curse has done it again.
Oh, Tracy, you poor guy.
Hey, what did you do with the diamond?
[gasps] That's Tracy?
I know how that feels, Trace.
Poor Tracy.
It's okay, Tracy.
We'll get youa little bitty hatlike the old one,
and a little tinyghost pack.
[squeaks]
Tracy! What are you doin' there?
We're losing precious time monkeying around here.
-[chuckles] I made a funny. -Right, let's move it.
Tracy, my turn to carry the curse... I-I mean the diamond.
-[squeaks] -Right.
After all, now that you're a mommy
you can't take any chances.
[dramatic music]
There's no waywe can cross a river
with rapids like that.
Besides, I can't swim.
We'll never get the diamond back in time.
This will be the end of the line for them.
Oh! What's yourevilly delicious plan?
I don't need one.
[hissing]
Those rapids will do it for me.
[Jessica] Oh, I don't know.
It looks too dangerousto try swimmin' it.
I'm afraid you're right. And anyway,
how would we get the Professor across?
Looks like the curse has beaten us this time.
[grunting]
[whirring]
Good old Tracy! Attaboy!
-Aren't they clever! -Remarkably.
But if they can come up with a canoe...
[hissing]
...I can come up with termites.
What's that noise? It sounds like chewing.
They're termites. Our boat's being eaten up.
Undze water is getting wilder and crazier.
We are finished.
Paddle faster while there's still something to paddle.
We're drifting, but I don't think we're gonna make it.
Those rocks,if we can jump
from one to another, we can make it.
No, it's impossible. Hopeless.
Let's at least give it a shot.
[dramatic music]
[growling]
[all screaming]
[roaring]
[hissing]
They made it.
It's time to confront them face to face.
Which one of you will it be?
Oh, what the heck.I'll have a go at it.
We have miles to go, the full moon is soon.
If we don't make it, ze world is cursed forever.
That's why we've got to move a little faster.
[chuckles] I'm afraid it's the end of the trail, ol' chums.
[chuckles] My spear has a terribly sharp point.
Your spear should be sharper.
And I've got just the thing to keep it that way.
[whirring]
I say, old man,
that's not at all sporting.
Excuse us, we're in a rush.
[snap]
Nice going, Haunter.
And now, darling, it's my turn.
And that's all... that will be needed.
Please, I got to rest a minute.
We don't have a minute, Professor.
Every second counts if we're going to save
the world from being cursed.
Speaking of curses,
I've carried this for quite a while and so far so good.
[crackling]
Oh, my gosh! I spoke too soon.
[Mysteria] Ah. [chuckling]
[Mysteria] There you are.
With one sweep of my hand,
you are all about to become...
...jungle lizards!
Get back down here immediately!
[zap]
[thud]
Oops! Sorry, lady.
[Eddie] Here comesthe diamond.
Well, whatever happens,it's my turn to carry it.
[crow cawing]
That bridge will never hold us.
We'll never get over that gorge.
We've got to. There's no other way.
Say, where's Eddie?
Oh, he's back there. He'll catch up.
[grunting]
[hissing] You two have failed me.
-I see I'll have to do it myself with that bridge. -[zaps]
-[rustles] -Oh-oh.
[snap]
Careful, Tracy.
And now...
[laughing]
...just to make sure
they wont put the diamond back in time.
[rustling]
Whoa.
[snapping]
[instrumental music]
Tracy, we can't leave you here like this.
[grunting]
Hey, where is everybody?
Oh, they must've crossed the bridge.
I'd better hurry.
Well, there's Jessica and Jake on the other side
but where's Tracy? Darn, that Tracy!
He ought to stay with the group.
When I see him, I'm gonna put my foot down.
[plop]
[screams]
[thud]
[grunting]
[thud]
[thud]
If I never see a bridge againit'll be too soon.
[intense music]
[creaks]
[thuds]
Ah, I can't go any farther.
We're almost there. Just a little farther.
[Jake] Thanks, Tracy. Let's go.
The moon's about to rise.
-[chirping] -[Professor] Ah!
Zat is ze temple.
-Wow! -At last.
We made it.
[grunting]
[Eddie] Oh, no! Look! The moon!
The full moon. We didn't make it.
Oh, ze whole world is cursed forever.
It isn't full yet, Professor.
Tracy, you're the fastest.
You get the diamond inside the temple.
[grunting]
Well, who has the diamond?
What? Oh, I gave it to, uh...
-Was it you? -I gave it to Eddie.
I gave it to Jessica. Or was it Tracy?
[grunting]
[Jake] Somebody'sgotta have it. Who?
Ta-da.
How'd it get in there?
Run, Tracy!
[dramatic music]
The moon is almost full.
And the temple is now...
[hissing]
...sealed!
[Prime Evil] You're too late.
[grunting]
-That's it, Tracy! -You can do it, Tracy!
He can't possibly move that rock.
Try, Tracy. Try as hard as you can.
[Jessica] Oh, the moon! It's almost full!
[zing]
[squeaking]
Oh, no! Tracy's cursed.
The diamond has turned Tracy to stone.
And the opening he made isn't big enough
for us to get through.
And look at the moon!
[wolf howling]
It's all over.
The Earth will be all cursed.
This time, I'm afraid you're right, Professor.
The monkey did it!
Little Tracy Juniordid it.
[laughing] Just in time.
The world is safe from the curse.
[zing]
[squeaking]
[rumbling]
The temple, it's collapsing!
[rumbling]
[Eddie] It's been swallowed up by the Earth.
Good, now the diamond can never curse
anyone or anything again.
[Prime Evil] Yes.
The curse ofthe Diamond of Gloom is gone.
But there will be other times
when you...Ghostbusters
will not be so lucky!
It wasn't luck, Prime Evil.
It was not giving up.
And you can bet next time we Ghostbusters
will try just as hard to stop you.
And we will stop you.
[snoring]
Come on, Tracy, wake up.
Oh, I give up.
Did you know, Eddie,today you Ghostbusters won out
because you didn't give up.
Right, Skele. Sometimes if you try hard enough,
you can get things done you never dreamed were possible.
You're absolutely right. I shouldn't give up.
[sniffs]
[Eddie] It worked. There's always a way to solve a problem.
So don't give up.
If at first you don't succeed,
well, try, try again.
