1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 (SCREAMS) # If there's something strange in the neighbourhood # Who you gonna call? # Ghostbusters! # If there's something weird and it don't look good # Who you gonna call? # Ghostbusters! # All right. We're gonna turn over the next card. Concentrate. I want you to tell me what you think it is. Square. Good guess, but wrong. "(BUZZING)" (GASPS) Clear your head. Alright? Tell me what you think it is. Is it a star? It is a star. Very good. That's great. OK. Alright. Think hard. What is it? Circle. (INHALES) Close, but definitely wrong. "(BUZZING)" Aaaurgh! OK. Alright, ready? Yeah. Alright. What is it? (Come on.) Figure eight. Incredible. That's five for five. You can't see these, can you? No, no. You're not cheating me, are you? No, I swear. They're just coming to me. (LAUGHS) OK. Nervous? Yes. I don't like this. You only have 75 more to go. OK, what's this one? It's a couple of wavy lines. I'm sorry, this isn't your lucky day. I know. Erm,... wait, er... Erm... (MUMBLES INCOHERENTLY) "(BUZZING)" Aaargh! I'm getting a little tired of this! You volunteered, didn't you?! We're paying you, aren't we?! Yeah, but I didn't know I'd get electric shocks! What are you trying to prove here, anyway?! I'm studying the effect of negative reinforcement on ESP ability. The effect?! I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THE EFFECT IS! IT'S PISSING ME OFF! Then maybe my theory is correct! You can keep the five bucks! I've had it! I will, mister! You may as well get used to that. It's the kind of resentment that your ability is going to provoke in some people. Do you think I have it, Doctor Venkman? You're no fluke, Jennifer. This is it! This is definitely it! Did those UV lenses come in for the video camera? And that blank tape, I need it. The one you erased yesterday. Will you excuse me for a second? Sure. I'm right in the MIDDLE OF SOMETHING, RAY! I need a little more time with this subject. Could you come back in an hour, hour and a half? Peter, at 1:40pm at the main branch of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue, ten people witnessed a free-floating, full-torso vaporous apparition. It blew books off shelves from 20 feet away and scared the socks off some poor librarian! I'm very excited. I'm very pleased. I want you to get down there, check it out and get back to me, OK? No, no. Get right back to me. No, you're coming with us. Spengler went down there. He took PKE valences. Went right off the top of the scale. Buried the needle. We're close on this one. I can feel it. I can feel it. We're very, very close. Perhaps you could come back this evening, say, at - Eight o'clock? Perhaps you could come back this evening, say, at - Eight o'clock? I was just gonna say, "Eight o'clock." (LAUGHS) You are a legitimate phenomenon. I have to tell you, you're finally going around the bend on this ghost business. You have been running your ass off meeting and greeting every schizo in the five boroughs who says he has a paranormal experience. What have you seen? Of course, you forget, Peter, I was present at an undersea, unexplained mass sponge migration. (SIGHS) Ray, the sponges migrated about a foot and a half. (MAKES EERIE GROANING NOISES) Ego-o-o-o-o-on! (SLAM!) Oh, you're here! Yeah. What have you got? This is big, Peter. This is very big. There's definitely something here. Egon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head. Remember? That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me. I'm Roger Delacorte. Are you the men from the university? Yes, I'm Dr Venkman. Dr Stantz. Egon. Well, thank you for coming. I hope we can clear this up quickly and quietly. Let's not rush things. We don't even know what you have yet. I don't remember seeing any legs, but it definitely had arms, because it reached out for me. Arms? I can't wait to get a look at this thing. Alice, I'm gonna ask you a couple of standard questions, OK? Have you or any member of your family ever been diagnosed schizophrenic, mentally incompetent? My uncle thought he was Saint Jerome. I'd call that a big yes. Er, are you habitually using drugs, stimulants, alcohol? No! Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now? What has that got to do with it? Back off, man. I'm a scientist. Ray,... it's moving. Come on. "(CRACKLING)" (Look!) This is hot, Ray. Symmetrical book stacking, just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947. You're right, no human being would stack books like this (!) Listen! You smell something? "(CRACKLING)" (SNIFFS) Talk about telekinetic activity. Look at this mess! Raymond, look at this. Ectoplasmic residue! Venkman, get a sample of this. It's the real thing. What, somebody blows their nose and you wanna keep it? I'd like to analyse it. There's more over here! I'm getting stronger readings here. Oh. Urgh! Aaarh! This way. Come on! Oh! Daah! "(CRACKLING)" Egon, your mucus. (CREAKING) (GASPS) This happened to you before? Oh. First time? "(CRACKLING)" "(BEEPING)" It's here. (A full-torso apparition, and it's real.) So, what do we do? Could you come over here and talk to me for a second, please? Could you just come over here for a second, please? Right over here. Come here, Francine. Come here. (What do we do?!) (I don't know. What do you think?) (Stop that!) (CLATTERING) (We've gotta make contact.) (One of us should actually try to speak to it.) (Good idea.) (SIGHS) Hello. I'm Peter. Where are you from... originally? Sssssshhhhhh! Alright, OK, the usual stuff isn't working. OK, I have a plan. I know exactly what to do. (Now, stay close. Stay close.) (I know. Do exactly as I say. Get ready.) (Ready?) GET HER! Raaaaaaaarh! (ALL SCREAM) (ALL CONTINUE SCREAMING) Did you see it?! What was it?! We'll get back to you! What...?! Stop moping. The lad's gone. Oh. Yeah. (SIGHS) INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS Ooh. Sorry. Oh. (SIGHS) Grandpa? Are you there? Sorry. Grandpa? CELL PHONE BUZZES, CHIMES INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS You've sent it. (CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES) Whacko. CELL PHONE BUZZES, CHIMES Whether it's simple tips or tricky tech solutions, Vodafone Ninjas are here to help. (VENKMAN CHUCKLES) "Get her!" That was your whole plan, "Get her"? It was scientific (!) (CHUCKLES) I just got overexcited. But - But wasn't it incredible, Pete? I mean, we actually touched the etheric plane. You know what this could mean? Yeah, it's gonna be bigger than the microchip. I'm very excited. The experience wasn't completely wasted. According to these readings, we have an excellent chance of catching a ghost and holding it indefinitely. This is great! If the ionisation rate is constant for all ectoplasmic entities, we could bust some heads! In a spiritual sense, of course. Spengs, you serious about this catching a ghost? I'm always serious. Egon, I'm gonna take back some of the things I said about you. You've,... You've earned it. The possibilities are limitless. Hey, Dean Yaeger! I trust you're moving us to better quarters on campus. No, you are being moved OFF campus. The board of regents has decided to terminate your grant. You are to vacate these premises immediately. This is preposterous. I demand an explanation. Fine! This university will no longer continue any funding of any kind for your group's activities. But the kids love us. Dr Venkman, we believe that the purpose of science is to serve mankind. You, however, seem to regard science as some kind of dodge or hustle. Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy and your conclusions are highly questionable. You are a poor scientist, Dr Venkman. I see. And you have no place in this department or in this university. This is a major disgrace. Forget MIT or Stanford now. They wouldn't touch us with a ten-metre cattle prod. You're so concerned about your reputation. Einstein did his best stuff when he was workin' as a patent clerk! You know how much a patent clerk earns?! No! I liked the university. We didn't have to produce anything. You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like. I've worked in the private sector. They expect results. For whatever reasons, Ray, call it... fate, call it luck, call it karma, I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that we were destined to get thrown out of this dump. For what purpose? To go into business for ourselves. This ecto-containment system Spengler and I have in mind is gonna require a loada bread to capitalise. Where are we gonna get the money? I don't know. I don't know. You're never gonna regret this, Ray. My parents left me that house. I was born there. You're not gonna lose the house. Everybody has three mortgages nowadays. But at 19%! You didn't even bargain with the guy! Ray, for your information, the interest rate alone for the first five years comes to $95,000. Will you guys relax? We are on the threshold of establishing THE indispensable defence science of the next decade. Professional paranormal investigations and eliminations. The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams. There's office space and sleeping quarters on the next floor, and there's a full kitchen on the top left. It just seems a little pricey for a unique fixer-upper opportunity, that's all. What do you think, Egon? I think this building should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all load-bearing members, the wiring is substandard, it's inadequate for our power needs, and the neighbourhood is like a demilitarised zone. Hey, does this pole still work?! Wow! This place is great! When can we move in?! You gotta try this pole! I'm gonna get my stuff. Hey, we should stay here tonight. Sleep here, you know, to try it out. I think we'll take it. Good. (HORN HONKS) Oh, hi. Oh, Dana, it's you! Hi. Yes, Louis, it's me. I thought it was the drugstore. Oh, are you sick? Oh, no, no, I'm fine! I feel great. Just ordered some more vitamins and stuff. I was just exercising. I taped a 20-minute work-out and played it back at high speed so it only took 10 minutes. I got a great work-out. Good. Wanna come in for a mineral water? I'd really like to, erm, Louis, but I have to go to a rehearsal now. Excuse me. No sweat! I'll take a rain check. I always have plenty of low-sodium mineral water and other nutritious foods in the house, but you know that. Yeah. Listen, that reminds me. I'm having a big party for all my clients. It's my fourth anniversary as an accountant, and even though you do your own tax return, I'd like you to stop by, being that you're my neighbour. Thank you. I'll really try to stop by. You shouldn't leave your TV on so loud when you go out. The creep down the hall phoned the manager. (TV CHATTER) I didn't realise I left it on. You know what I did? I climbed on the ledge, I tried to disconnect the cable, but I couldn't get in. So I turned on my TV real loud, too, so everyone'd think... Goodbye. ..their TV sets had something wrong with them. OK, so, I'll see you later, huh?! I'll give you a call! I'm gonna have a shower! "Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night?" "Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?" "Have you or any of your family ever seen a spook, spectre or ghost?" "If the answer is yes, then, don't wait another minute." "Call the professionals." (ALL) "Ghostbusters!" "Our courteous and efficient staff is on call 24 hours a day "to serve ALL your supernatural elimination needs." (ALL) "We're ready to believe you!" (HUMS) Oh! (GROWLING) Zuul! (SCREAMS) < (SIREN WAILS) You can't park that here! Everybody can relax. I found the car. Needs some suspension work and shocks and, er, brakes, brake pads, lining, steering box, transmission, rear end - How much? Only 4800. And maybe new rings, also mufflers, a little wiring. Janine, any calls? No. Any messages? No. Any customers? No, Dr Venkman. It's a good job, isn't it? Type something, will you? We're paying you for this stuff. Don't stare at me! You got them bug eyes. Janine,... sorry about the bug-eyes thing! I'll be in my office! You're very handy, I can tell. I bet you like to read a lot, too. Print is dead. Oh, that's very fascinating to me. I read a lot myself. Some people think I'm too intellectual, but I think it's a fabulous way to spend your spare time. I also play racquetball. Do you have any hobbies? I collect spores, moulds and fungus. Hello? Oh, excuse me, is this...? This is the Ghostbusters' office? Yes, it is. Can I help you? I don't have an appointment. I'd like to talk to someone, please. I'm Peter Venkman. May I help you? Erm, well, er,... I don't know. What I have to say may sound a little unusual. That's all we get day in, day out around this place. Come into my office, Miss... Er, Barrett. Dana Barrett. This voice said, "Zuul!" And then I slammed the refrigerator door and I left. That was two days ago, and I haven't been back to my apartment. Generally you don't see that kind of behaviour in a major appliance. What do you think it was? Well, if I knew what it was, I wouldn't be here! Egon, what do you think? She's telling the truth ` at least she thinks she is. Well, of course I'm telling the truth! Who would make up a story like that? Some are people who just want attention, others just nutballs who come in off the street. Know what it could be? Past-life experience intruding on present time. Could be erased memories stored in the unconscious. I wouldn't rule out clairvoyance or telepathic contact. I'm sorry, I don't believe in any of those things. Well, that's alright. I don't, either. But there are some things we do, standard procedures in a case like this, which often bring results. Well, I could check out the structural details in the building. Maybe the building has a history of psychic turbulence. Good idea. I could look for the name "Zuul" in the usual literature. Spates Catalogue. Tobin's Spirit Guide. Yeah. I'll take Miss Barrett back to her apartment and check her out. I'll go check out Miss Barrett's apartment. OK? OK. Thank you. It's OK. Let me. If something's gonna happen here, I want it to happen to me first. That's the closet. (TINKLES ON PIANO) They hate this. (TINKLES ON PIANO) I like to torture them. That's right, boys,... IT'S DR VENKMAN! A lot of space. Just you? Yes. Good. What is that thing you're doing? It's technical. It's one of our little toys. I see. That's the bedroom, but nothing ever happened in there. What a crime. You know, you don't act like a scientist. They're usually pretty stiff. You're more like a game-show host. That's the kitchen, huh? Dana, are these the eggs? Yes. You see, I was over there, and these eggs just jumped out of their shells and started to cook on the counter. That is weird. That's when I started to hear that awful noise coming from the refrigerator. Dr Venkman, you've come all this way. Would you like to check the refrigerator? I'm gonna check the fridge. Good call. (SIGHS) Oh my God! Look at all the junk food. Oh, God damn it. This wasn't - You actually eat this stuff? This wasn't here! There was nothing here! There was a space, and there was a building with flames coming out of it, and there were creatures writhing around. They were growling and snarling! There were flames, and I heard a voice say, "Zuul!" It was here! I'm sorry, I'm not getting any reading. Well, are you sure you're using that thing correctly? I think so. But I'm sure there are no animals in there. (SIGHS) Well, that's great (!) Either I have a monster in my kitchen, or I'm completely crazy. I don't think you're crazy. Oh, good, that makes me feel so much better (!) Let me tell you something about myself. I come home from work to my place, and all I have is my work. There's nothing else in my life. Dr Venkman - I meet you, and I say, "My God, there's someone with the same problem I have!" Yes, we both have the same problem ` you. I'm gonna go for broke. I am madly in love with you. I don't believe this! Will you please leave? And then she threw me out of her life. She thought I was a creep. She thought I was a geek. and she probably wasn't the first. You are so odd. No. I've got it! No, no, no, no. I'll prove myself to you. That's not necessary. Yeah, I'll solve your little problem... OK. ..and then you'll say, "Pete Venkman can get things done." Right. "I wonder what makes him tick." I wonder. "I wonder if he'd be interested in knowing what makes me tick." Right. I'll bet you're gonna be thinking about me after I'm gone. I bet I am. No kiss? (LOUIS'S DOOR CLICKS SHUT) To our first customer. To our first and only customer. I'm gonna need to draw out some petty cash. I should take her out to dinner. We don't wanna lose her. Er, this magnificent feast here represents the LAST of the petty cash. (PHONE RINGS) Slow down. Chew your food. Hello, Ghostbusters. Yes, of course they're serious. You do? You have? No kidding?! Uh-huh. Well, just, er, just give me the address. Uh-huh. Yes, of course. Oh, they'll be totally discreet. Thank you. WE GOT ONE! (BELL RINGS) It's a call! Yaaaah! JAZZY MUSIC # Gonna tell you a story about a little town I know # Come on! # They had a real big problem with some big mean local ghost. # Those spooks were making the whole city lose control. # Well, the mayor was frantic, the town was panicked, 'cause they had no sense of fear. # 'Cause they knew that they were missing those boys with a mission so they called them up right here. # They were boxing and trapping and shooting through the joint, stepped right in and got down to the point. # Those Ghostbusters came in, cleaning up the town. # Hey, anybody seen a ghost?! Er, thank you for coming... Gee! ..so quickly! The guests are asking questions, and I'm running out of excuses. Has it happened before? Well, most of the original staff knows about the 12th floor. Er... The disturbances, I mean. Yeah. But it's been quiet for years,... up until two weeks ago. It was never ever this bad, though. Yeah. Did you ever report it to anyone? Oh, heavens, no! No. You kidding? The owners don't like us to even talk about it. No. I hope we can take care of this quietly. Tonight. Yes, sir. Don't worry, we handle this kind of thing all the time. What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut? (LAUGHS) No, we're exterminators. Somebody saw a cockroach up on 12th. That's gotta be some cockroach. Bite your head off, man. Going up? I'll take the next one. You know, we really haven't had a completely successful test of this equipment. I blame myself. So do I. No sense worrying about it now. Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back. Yep. Let's get ready. Switch me on. "(HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING)" (PING!) (WOMAN HUMS) (ALL) Aaaaaaarh! Whoa, hold it! What the hell are you doin'? Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. We thought you were someone else. Successful test. I guess so. Er,... I think we better split up. Good idea. Yeah, we can do more damage that way. (TV PLAYS) (MUNCHES) Venkman? Venkman?! Urgh. Disgusting blob. I'm gonna have to hold it myself. "(WHIRRING)" WAAAAH! (EERIE ROARING) "(CRACKLING)" (GROWLING) Come in, Ray. Venkman, I saw it! I saw it! I saw it! It's right here, Ray. It's looking at me. "He's an ugly little spud, isn't he?" I think he can hear you, Ray. (Don't move. It won't hurt you.) (ROARS) Aaaaarh! Venkman?! Venkman?! < Pete! Venkman! What happened?! Are you OK?! He slimed me. That's great! Actual physical contact! Can you move? "Ray, Ray, come in, please!" I feel so funky. Spengler, I'm with Venkman! He got slimed! "That's great, Ray. Save some for me." "Get down here right away. It just went into a ballroom." OK, we'll be right there. (PIANO MUSIC) OK, sir, if you and your staff could please wait out here, we'll take care of everything. (There it is! On the ceiling.) (That's the one that got me.) (Right, boys, ready?) Throw it! (EERIE ROARING) (CRASHING) I did that! I did that! That's my fault. It's OK. the table broke the fall. There's something very important I forgot to tell you. What? Don't cross the streams. Why? It would be bad. I'm fuzzy on the whole good-bad thing. What do you mean "bad"? Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. Total protonic reversal. Right, that's bad. OK. Alright, important safety tip. Thanks, Egon. Alright, Ray, take the left. Egon, take the right. (GRUNTING / MUNCHING) OK, Ray, give me one eye on the outside. Ray! YAAAAH! Egon! WAAH! (PANTS) OK, alright, alright! Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it! Oh, oh! Nice shootin', Tex! Mrs Van Hoffman, there is no problem with the room. It will be ready as soon as your guests are with us. The last throw took something out of him, but he'll move! I need some room to put the trap down. (CLATTERING / SMASHING) If you'll excuse me, please. We gotta get this in the clear! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! I've always wanted to do this. And... the flowers are still standing! OK, on my go signal! Spengler, I want a confinement stream from you, OK? Go! OK, hold him up there! He's gonna move! Hold him up! Go! It's working, Ray. Start bringing him down! You got him! Don't cross the streams! Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider, huh?! (GRUNTS) Venkman, shorten your stream, I don't want my face burned off! I'm opening the trap now! Don't look directly into the trap! I looked at the trap, Ray. Bring your streams off as soon as I close the trap! Get ready! I'm closin' it... NOW! (ROARS) "(BEEPING)" It's in there. (LIGHTLY KICKS TRAP) Hey. Huh! Well, that wasn't such a chore, now, was it? Mr Smith, quickly! I want that door open now! Stand over there. We came. We saw. We kicked its ass! Did you see it? What is it? We got it! What is it?! Will there be any more of them?! (COUGHS) Sir, what you had there was what we refer to as a focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm or a Class Five full-roaming vapour. A real nasty one. Er,... (CLEARS THROAT) ..let's talk seriously. Now, for the entrapment, we're gonna have to ask you for four big ones ` $4,000 for that. But we are having a special this week on proton charging and storage of the beast, and that's only gonna come to $1,000, fortunately. $5,000? I had no idea it'd be so much. I won't pay it. Well, we can just put it right back in there. We certainly can. No, no, no! NO! Alright,... anything. Thanks so much. Thank you! Hope we can help you again. Coming through, one Class Five full-roaming vapour! "Morning, I'm Roger Grimsby. Today the entire eastern seaboard "is alive with talk of incidents of paranormal activity." "Alleged ghost sightings and related supernatural occurrences "have been reported across the entire tri-state area." Everybody's heard ghost stories around the campfire. Heck, my grandma used to spin yarns about a spectral locomotive that would rocket past the farm where she grew up. But now, as if some unforeseen... (BELL RINGS) # If there's somethin' strange # In your neighbourhood # Who ya gonna call? # Ghostbusters! # If there's somethin' weird # And it don't look good # Who ya gonna call? # Ghostbusters!... (SIREN WAILS) Stand aside, please! Ghosts And Ghostbusting. More sightings are reported. Some maintain that these professional paranormal eliminators in New York are the cause of it all. # If you're seein' things # Runnin' through your head # Who can ya call? # Ghostbusters! # An invisible man # Sleepin' in your bed # Who ya gonna call? # Ghostbusters!... "Still making headlines, the Ghostbusters are at it again ` "this time at the fashionable dance club The Rose. "The boys in grey slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, "then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the ladies who witnessed the disturbance." "This is Casey Kasem. Now on with the countdown." 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! No job is too big, no fee is too big! (PHONE RINGS) Is it just a mist, or does it have arms and legs? "As they say in TV, I'm sure there's one big question "on everybody's mind, and I imagine you can answer that." "How is Elvis, and have you seen him lately?" # If you've had a dose of a freaky ghost, baby # You'd better call # Ghostbusters! # Ow! # Oh! Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trans-mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis? Er, if there's a steady pay check in it, I'll believe anything you say. (PHONE RINGS) I gotta get some sleep. I'm dyin'. You don't look good. I don't? Well, you've looked better. You didn't used to look like this. Here's the paper on the Brooklyn. She paid with Visa. Here's tonight's work sheet. Oh, great (!) Two more free repeaters. This is Winston Zeddemore. He's here about the job. Beautiful. You're hired. Ray Stantz. Pete Venkman. Congratulations. (HISSING) Welcome aboard! I don't know where they get these guest conductors. Someone should tell him it's not gonna do much good to scream at us in German. I don't think that the man is competent to conduct a major symphony orchestra. Erm, could you wait here a minute? Huh? Er, sure. Dr Venkman, this is a surprise. That was a wonderful rehearsal. You heard that? Yes. You're the best one in your row. Oh, thank you. You're good. Most people can't hear me with a whole orchestra playing. I don't have to take this abuse from you. I got hundreds of people dying to abuse me. I know. You're a big celebrity now. Do you have some information for me on my case? Who's the stiff? The stiff happens to be one of the finest musicians in the world. Do you have some information for me, please? Sure, but I'd prefer to give it to you in private. Why don't you tell me now? OK. I found the name Zuul for you. The name Zuul refers to a demigod worshipped around 6,000 BC by the... What's that word? Hittites. ..Hittites, the Mesopotamians and the Sumerians. "Zuul was the minion of Gozer." What's Gozer? Gozer was very big in Sumeria. Well, what's he doing in my icebox?! I'm working on that. If we could get together Thursday night, I'm thinking nine-ish, you know, we could exchange information. I can't see you Thursday. I'm - I'm,... I'm busy. You seem to think there is something wrong up here that says in your mind, "He enjoys taking his evenings off and spending it "with his clients." No, I'm making a special exception in your case, because... I respect you. It's corny, but I respect you as an artist... and as a dresser, too. This is a magnificent coordination you have going here today. I'll see you Thursday. I'll bring the Roylance Guide, and we'll eat and read. So, who the hell is that? He's just a friend. A friend? An old friend. I'll see you Thursday! I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you, sir, and I'm glad you're feeling better! You're still very pale, though! A little sun...! Well, what does he do? He's a scientist. This is where we store all the vapours and entities and slimers that we trap. Very simple, really. A loaded trap here. Open, unlock the system,... ..insert the trap,... ..release,... ..close, lock the system. Set your entry grid, neutronise your field and... ..the light is green, the trap is clean. Ghost is incarcerated here in our custom-made storage facility. There's a man from the EPA here to see you. He's waiting in your office. EPA. What's he want? I don't know. All I do know is that I've been working two weeks without a break and you promised me you'd hire more help. Janine, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries. (PHONE RINGS) Are you gonna answer that? I've quit better jobs than this. Ghostbusters! What do you want?! Can I help you? I'm Walter Peck. I represent the Environmental Protection Agency, the third district. Great. How's it goin' down there? Are you Peter Venkman? Yes, I'm... Dr Venkman. Exactly what are you a doctor of, Mr Venkman? Well, I have PhDs in parapsychology and psychology. I see. And now you catch ghosts? Yeah, you could say that. And how many ghosts have you caught, Mr Venkman? I'm not at liberty to say. And where do you put these ghosts once you catch them? Into a storage facility. And would this storage facility be located on these premises? Yes. And may I see this storage facility? No. And why not, Mr Venkman? Because you did not use the magic word. What is the magic word, Mr Venkman? Please. May I please see the storage facility, Mr Venkman? Why do you want to see the storage facility? I'm curious. I want to know more about what you do here. There've been a lot of wild stories in the media, and we want to assess any possible environmental impact from your operation ` for instance, the presence of possibly hazardous waste chemicals in your basement. Now, you either show me what is down there, or I come back with a court order. You go get a court order! And I'll sue your ass for wrongful prosecution. You can have it your way, Mr Venkman. I'm worried. It's getting crowded in there, and all my recent data points to something big on the horizon. What do you mean by big? Let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie 35 feet long weighing approximately 600 pounds. (COUGHS) That's a big Twinkie. We could be on the verge of a four-fold crossrip. A PKE surge of incredible, dangerous proportions. We just had a visit from the Environmental Protection Agency. How's the grid holdin' up? It's not good. Tell him about the Twinkie. What about the Twinkie? (LIGHTNING CRACKS / THUNDER RUMBLES) (MUSIC BLARES FROM DOWN HALLWAY) Oh, Dana, it's you! Hello, Louis. You gotta come in here. You're missing a classic party. Yes, well, I would, Louis, but I have a date coming. You made a date... tonight? Well, I,... I... I'm sorry, Louis, I forgot. Well, that's OK. You can bring him along. Alright, maybe we'll stop by, OK? That's great! I'll tell everybody you're comin'! We'll play Twister and do some break dancin'! Hey, ev- Hey, let me in! (KNOCKS ON DOOR) It's Louis! Somebody let me I-I-I-IN! (THUNDER RUMBLES) (PHONE RINGS) Hello? Oh, hi, Mom. Erm,... I've been busy. Well, er, no, everything is fine. Yeah. No, just that, erm,... that one time. Oh, I am. I will. I won't. Mom, erm,... I have to go. I have a date. Yes. No, no-one you know. It's, erm... Well, he's, er, he's a Ghostbuster. Those guys on TV. Yes, well, I'll have to let you know. OK. Love to Dad. Right, bye. Bye. (SIGHS) (CREAKING) Oh, shit. (GASPS / SCREAMS) (SNARLS) (SCREAMS PIERCINGLY) (ROARS) (SCREAMS) (SLAM!) (SCREAMING STOPS) Do you have any Excedrin or extra-strength Tylenol? Gee, I think all I got is this cedacelacytic acid. Generic. See, I can get 600 tablets of that for the same price as 300 of a named brand. That makes good financial sense. Good advice. This is real smoked salmon from Nova Scotia, Canada. 24.95 a pound. It only cost me 14.12 after tax, though. I'm giving this as a promotional expense. That's why I invited clients instead of friends. You havin' a good time? How ya doin'? Why don't you have some Brie? It's at room temperature. Do you think it's too warm in here for the Brie? I'm going home. Oh, don't leave yet! Listen, maybe if we start dancin', other people will join in. OK. (DISCO MUSIC BLARES FROM STEREO) (DOORBELL CHIMES) Oh, don't move! I just gotta get the door. Ted! Annette! Hi! Hello. Glad you could come. How you doin'? Give me your coats. Everybody, this is Ted and Annette Fleming. (ALL) Hi. Ted has a small carpet-cleaning business in receivership. Annette's drawing a salary from a deferred bonus from two years ago. They got 15,000 left on their house at 8%. So they're OK. So, does anybody wanna play Parcheesi? (ROARING / GROWLING) OK, who brought the dog?! (ROARS) (ALL SCREAM) (SNARLS) Aarh! (GASPS) Help, there's a bear loose in my apartment! Help! Help! (CAR HORNS HONK) Help! What? A bear in his apartment. (GROWLS) Agh! (PEOPLE SCREAM) I'll bring this up at the next tenants' meeting. There's not supposed to be pets in the building. (CLASSICAL MUSIC) Let me in! There's gotta be a way in here! I gotta get - Please, somebody let me in! (GROWLING) Nice doggy. Cute little pooch. Maybe I got a Milk-Bone. (GROWLS) Agh! (GROWLS) (CLASSICAL MUSIC / CHATTER CONTINUES) No, no, wait. Hey, what happened? Some moron brought a cougar to a party and it went berserk. Hey, I'm going up to Dana Barrett's. OK. 'T-U-L-L-Y. He ran out.' 'He's not here?' 'No.' 'He ran out.' (KNOCKS ON DOOR) Hello. That's a different look for you, isn't it? Are you the Keymaster? Not that I know of. (KNOCK AT DOOR) Are you the Keymaster? Yes. I'm a friend of his. He told me to meet him here. I didn't get your name. I am Zuul. I am the Gatekeeper. Oh. What are we doing today, Zuul? We must prepare for the coming of Gozer. Gozer, huh? The Destructor. Are we still going out? You know, you could pick up the place if you're expecting someone. Do you want this body? Is this a trick question? I guess the roses worked, huh? Take me now, subcreature. We never talk anymore. Agh! Easy, easy! I make it a rule never to get involved with possessed people. Mmm! Mmm! Mmm. Mmm. Actually, it's more of a guideline than a rule. You know, I can - Agh! I want you inside me. (LAUGHS) Go ahead - No, I can't. Sounds like you got at least two people in there already. Might be a little crowded. Lie down there and relax. Put your hands on your chest. What I'd really like to do is talk to Dana. I wanna talk to Dana. Dana, it's Peter. There is no Dana. There is only Zuul. Oh, Zuul, you nut. Now come on. Come on. I wanna talk to Dana. Dana. Just relax. Come on. Dana. Dana. Can I talk to Dana? (VOICE OF ZUUL) There is no Dana, only Zuul. What a lovely singing voice you must have. I'm gonna count to three, Zuulie, and if I don't get to talk to Dana, there's gonna be some real trouble in this apartment, I think. One... (GROWLS) Two... Agh! Agh! Agh! Two and a half! (GROWLS / SNARLS) (GROWLS) (GROWLS) Please come down. (GROWLS) I am the Keymaster. (PEOPLE SCREAM) The Destructor will come... The Traveller! The Destroyer! (PANTS LIKE A DOG) (SNIFFS) '(HORSE NEIGHS)' The Gatekeeper. '(HORSE NEIGHS)' I am Vinz... Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of Gozer. Volguus Zildrohar, Lord of the Sebouillia. Are you the Gatekeeper? Hey, he pulls the wagon. I make the deals. You want a ride? (GROWLS) Wait for the sign. Then all prisoners will be released. You will perish in flame! Soon as I find the Gatekeeper! (KNOCK AT THE DOOR) Dropping off or picking up? Dropping off. Just a moment. You a Ghostbuster? Yes. We picked up this guy, and now we don't know what to do with him. I'm afraid to put him in the lock-up, and you are into this stuff, so I figured we'd check with you. Alright. Are you the Gatekeeper? (PKE METRE BEEPS) You better bring him inside. "(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)" You are so kind to take care of that man. You're a real humanitarian. I don't think he's human. What did you say your name was? Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of Gozer. According to this, his name's Louis Tully. Lives on Central Park West. Do you want some, um, coffee, Mr Tully? Do I? Yes, have some. Yes, have some. You said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for? Gozer the Traveller! He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the Rectification of the Vuldronaii, he came as a Torb. During the Third Reconciliation of the Last of the Meketrex Supplicants, they chose a new form for him - that of a Sloar. Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day. Egon? Excuse me. There's something very strange about that man. (SNIFFS) (SNIFFS) I'm usually very psychic, and I have a terrible feeling that something awful's gonna happen to you. (SNIFFS) I'm afraid you're gonna die. (TELEPHONE RINGS) I'll get it. Hello? (PHONE) "Egon, it's Peter." Thanks, I've got it. I have some news from the world of Gozer. (PHONE) "What is it, Peter?" I'm here with Dana Barrett. It seems the Goze has been putting some moves on my would-be girlfriend. "How is she?" I think we can get her a guest shot on Wild Kingdom. I just whacked her up with 300CCs of Thorazine. She's gonna take a little nap now, but she says she's the Gatekeeper. Does that make any sense to you? "Some." I just met the Keymaster. He's here with me now. "Oh, wonderful." We have to get these two together. I think that would be extraordinarily dangerous. OK, hold onto him. I'll be there in a little while. Good. Thank you, Vinz. We have to find Ray. I need him here immediately. Bad news, honey. I gotta go to work. Will you stay here in bed until I get back? Hey, Ray, do you believe in God? Never met him. Yeah, well, I do. And I love Jesus' style, you know. This roof is made of a magnesium-tungsten alloy. What are you so involved with there? The blueprints for the structural ironwork in Dana Barrett's apartment building. They're very strange. Hey, Ray, do you remember something in the Bible about the last days, when the dead would rise from the grave? I remember Revelation 7:12. 'And I looked as he opened the sixth seal, and behold, 'there was a great earthquake, and the sun became as black as sackcloth 'and the moon became as blood.' 'And the seas boiled and the skies fell.' Judgement Day. Judgement Day. Every religion has its own myth about the end of the world. Myth? Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason we've been so busy is because the dead have been rising from the grave? How about a little music? Yeah. (FUNKY MUSIC) This way. Excuse me. Excuse me! Just where do you think you're going?! Step aside, Miss, or I'll have you arrested. Oh, no! I've seen TV. I know you can't come in here without warrant. Cease and desist all commerce order, seizure of premises and chattels, ban on the use of public utilities for non-licensed waste handlers, and federal entry and inspection order. Vinz, there's one more test I'd like to perform. Egon! I tried to stop them! He says they have a warrant! Excuse me, this is private property. Shut this off. Shut these all off. Turning off these machines would be hazardous. You're facing federal prosecution for environmental violations. Either you shut off these beams, or we shut them off for you. It's a high-voltage laser containment system. Turning it off would be like dropping a bomb in the city! Don't patronise me! I'm not grotesquely stupid! At ease, Officer. I'm Peter Venkman. There's been a misunderstanding, and I wanna cooperate in any way that I can. Forget it, Venkman! You had your chance, but you thought it'd be more fun to insult me. He wants to shut down the protection grid. If you do, we won't be held responsible for what happens. On the contrary. No, we won't be! Shut it off! Don't shut it off! I'm warning you. Um, I've never seen anything like this before. I don't - I'm not interested in your opinion. Just shut it off. My friend, don't be a jerk. Step aside. If he does that again, shoot him. You do your job! Don't tell me how to do mine! Thank you, Officer. Shut it off! (ALARM BLARES) (ALARM BLARES) (PANTS) (ALARM BLARES) Oh, shit. Clear the building! (PEOPLE SHOUT) Woah! This is it. This is the sign. Yeah, it's a sign, alright. We're going out of business. (POLICE SIRENS BLARE) Hey, up there! What happened? The storage facility blew. He shut off the protection grid. Oh, great (!) That's bad, isn't it? Yeah. Where's the Keymaster?! Shit. Who's the keymaster? Hold it! I want this man arrested! These men are in criminal violation of the Environmental Protection Act, and this explosion is a direct result! Your mother - Hold it! (ALL SHOUT) # Please # Please # Please # Let's make some # I believe it's magic # I believe it's magic # I believe it's magic # Magic # I believe it's magic # I believe it's magic '(GROWLING)' # I believe it's magic Aggghhh! Columbia Building, 57th Street. I'm in a hurry, so let's not dawdle. (CAR HORNS HONK) Woah! # # # # Hey, guard! I wanna make a phone call! I just work with these guys! I wasn't even there! The structure of this roof cap is like the kind of telemetry tracker that NASA uses to identify dead pulsars in deep space. Cold-riveted girders... with cores of pure selenium. Everybody getting this so far? So what? I guess they just don't make them like they used to, huh? No! Nobody ever made them like this. The architect was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko. Ray, for a moment,... ..pretend that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on. You never studied. The whole building is a huge superconductive antennae that was designed and built for the purpose of pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence. Your girlfriend lives in the corner penthouse of Spook Central. She's not my girlfriend. I find her interesting because she's a client and because she sleeps above her covers ` four feet above her covers. She barks, she drools, she claws. It's not the girl, Peter. It's the building. Something terrible is about to enter our world, and this building is the door. The architect's name was Ivo Shandor. I found it in Tobin's Spirit Guide. He was also a doctor. Performed a lot of unnecessary surgery, and then in 1920, he started a secret society. Let me guess. Gozer worshippers. Right. No studying. After the First World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive. He wasn't alone. He had close to a thousand followers when he died. They conducted rituals on the roof. Bizarre rituals intended to bring about the end of the world, and now it looks like it may happen. # So be good for goodness sake # Woah,... somebody's coming # We have to get out of here. We've gotta find a judge or something. Hey, wait a minute. Hey! Are we gonna go before a judge and say some mouldy Babylonian God is going to drop in on Central Park West and start tearing up the city?! Sumerian, not Babylonian. Yeah, big difference. No offence, but I gotta get my own lawyer. OK, Ghostbusters! The mayor wants to see you guys. The island's going crazy. Let's go. I gotta split. The mayor wants to rap with me about things. (POLICE SIRENS BLARE) "(POLICE RADIO CHATTER)" I am the Keymaster. I am the Gatekeeper. Get back! Get back! Get back! (PEOPLE CHATTER) Get back! Get back! We got a city blowing up, and you guys are not giving me any answers! We're blocking the bridges, the roads. The Ghostbusters are here, Mr Mayor. OK, the Ghostbusters. Hey, where's this Peck? I am Walter Peck, sir, and I'm prepared to make a full report. These men are consummate snowball artists. They use sense and nerve gases to induce hallucinations. People think they're seeing ghosts and they call these bozos, who show up to deal with the problem with a fake electronic light show. Everything was fine until the power grid was shut off by dickless here. They caused an explosion! Is this true? Yes, it's true. This man has no dick. You! (SHOUTS) (ALL SHOUT) Break it up! Break it up! Alright, alright! That's what I heard! This is City Hall. What am I gonna do here, John? What is this? All I know is that was no light show we saw this morning. I've seen every form of combustion known to man. But this beats the hell out of me. The walls in the 53rd precinct were bleeding. How do you explain that? Good afternoon, gentlemen. Oh, Your Eminence. Oh! How are you, Lenny? You're looking good. We're in a real fix here. What do you think I should do? Officially the Church will not take any position on the religious implications of these phenomena. Personally, Lenny, I think it's a sign from God. But don't quote me on that. I think that's a smart move. I won't call a press conference and tell everyone to start praying. Um, I'm, um, Winston Zeddemore, Your Honour. Look, I've only been with the company for a couple of weeks, but I gotta tell you these things are real. Since I joined these men, I have seen shit that'll turn you white. Well, you can believe Mr Pecker... My name is Peck. ...or accept that this city's headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. What do you mean biblical? What he means is Old Testament. Yes. Wrath-of-God type stuff. Exactly. Fire and brimstone from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling! 40 years of darkness! Earthquakes! Volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria! Enough! I get the point! What if you're wrong? If I'm wrong, nothing happens. We go to jail peacefully, quietly. We'll enjoy it. But if I'm right and we can stop this thing,... ..Lenny,... ..you will have saved the lives... ..of millions of registered voters. I don't believe you're seriously considering listening to these men. Bye. I'll fix you, Venkman! Bye. I'll fix you, Venkman! I'm gonna fix you! I'm gonna give you a nice fruit basket. I'm gonna miss him. Alright, alright! We got work to do. Now, what do you need from me? (SOLDIERS SHOUT) Come on! Let's run some red lights! (POLICE SIRENS BLARE) # Ooh, ooh # See the danger signs # Sneaking up from behind # You feel like they're telling you what to say # Looks like you've lost control # Something goin' on in your soul # You see them coming from a mile away # Saving the day # Saving the day # When you get to the point where it's driving you insane # Saving the day # Saving the day # Ooh, ooh # Hello, New York.

Alright! Gotta run! Got a date with a ghost! OK, whatever happens, let's be professionals. (CROWD CHEERS) (THUNDER RUMBLES) We might have to put a little overtime in on this one! (ALL SHOUT) 'There they are!' 'There they are!' (ALL CHEER) There's no way we were prepared for that! It's alright! Don't worry! We're fine. We can handle it. We can take it. They wanna play rough! (ALL CHANT) Ghostbusters! You wanna play rough? Yeah! Let's go! Hey! Yeah! Go! Go! (CROWD CHEERS) Stop moping. The lad's gone. Oh. Yeah. (SIGHS) INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS Ooh. Sorry. Oh. (SIGHS) Grandpa? Are you there? Sorry. Grandpa? CELL PHONE BUZZES, CHIMES INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS You've sent it. (CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES) Whacko. CELL PHONE BUZZES, CHIMES (PANTS) Where are we? It looks like we're in the... teens somewhere. OK. When we get to 20, tell me. I'm gonna throw up. 22. Is this it? Yup. Ough. Art deco. Very nice. Where is it? It's at the end of the hall. Hey, where do these stairs go? They go up. '(THUNDER RUMBLES)' OK. Go ahead. Come on. Go ahead. Watch it. Go ahead. Dana! Agh! Agh! (GROWLS) OK. So... she's a dog. It's a girl. It's Gozer. I thought Gozer was a man. It's whatever it wants to be. Well, whatever it is, it's gotta get by us. Right. Go get her, Ray! (DOG GROWLS) Gozer the Gozerian? Good evening. As a duly-designated representative of the city, county and state of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension. That ought to do it (!) Thanks very much, Ray (!) Are you a god? No. Then... ..die! (ALL SHOUT) (ALL SHOUT) (DOGS GROWL) (ALL SHOUT) (CROWD SHOUTS / SCREAMS) Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say, "Yes"! Alright, this chick is toast! Got your stick? (ALL) Holding! (GOZER HISSES) Heat 'em up! (ALL) Smoking! (GROWLS) Make 'em hard! (ALL) Ready! Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown. (GROWLS) Fire! Nimble little minx, isn't she? Go full stream. Aim for the flattop! That wasn't so hard. We neutronised it. Know what that means? A complete particle reversal. We have the tools, we have the talent. It's Miller time! Ray,... this looks extraordinarily bad. Oh, no. What? '(CREAKING / RUMBLING)' Look out! (CROWD SCREAMS) 'Subcreatures! Gozer the Gozerian, 'Gozer the Destructor, 'Volguus Zildrohar, the Traveller has come!' 'Choose and perish!' What do you mean choose? We don't understand! 'Choose!' 'Choose the form of the Destructor!' Oh, I get it! I get it! Oh! Very cute. Whatever we think of - if we think of J Edgar Hoover, J Edgar Hoover will appear and destroy us, OK? So empty your heads. Empty your heads. Don't think of anything. We've only got one shot at this. 'The choice is made.' Woah! Ho! Woah! 'The Traveller has come!' Nobody choosed anything! Did you choose anything? No. Did you? My mind was totally blank. I didn't choose anything! I couldn't help it. It just popped in there. What? What just popped in there? '(THUMPING)' I... I tried to think - Look! '(PEOPLE SCREAM)' No! It can't be! What is it?! It can't be! What did you do, Ray? Oh, shit. It's the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. (GROWLS) (PEOPLE SCREAM) (GROWLS) '(POLICE SIRENS BLARE)' Well, there's something you don't see every day. I tried to think of the most harmless thing, something I loved from my childhood, something that could never, ever possibly destroy us - Mr Stay Puft. Nice thinking, Ray (!) We used to roast Stay Puft marshmallows by the fire at Camp. Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon. What have you got left? Sorry, Venkman. I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought. (PEOPLE SCREAM) (GROWLS) (ROARS) Oh, no! Mother pus-bucket! (ROARS / GROWLS) Nobody steps on a church in my town! One, two, three, roast him! (ROARS) (PEOPLE SCREAM) (ROARS) Funny us going out like this ` killed by a 100 foot marshmallow man. We've been going about this all wrong. This Mr Stay Puft is OK. He's a sailor. He's in New York. We get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble. (PEOPLE SCREAM) I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways. We could reverse the particle flow through the gate. How? We'll cross the streams. Egon, you said crossing the streams was bad. Cross the streams. You'll endanger us. You'll gonna endanger our client, the nice lady who paid in advance before she became a dog. Not necessarily. There's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive. I love this plan (!) I'm excited to be a part of it (!) Let's do it! This job is definitely not worth eleven-five a year! Agh! Hurry! See you on the other side, Ray. Nice working with you, Dr Venkman. (ROARS) Let's turn them on, Spengler! Cross them now, Spengler! (ALL SHOUT) Oh, no! It's gonna blow! Let's get out of here!

Oh, it smells like barbecued dog hair. Oh, Venkman. Oh, Venkman, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I... I just... I just forgot. '(GROANS)' Look! (MOANS) Somebody turn on the lights! Somebody turn on the lights! Go check on that little guy. What happened? Ough! Ough! Oh, where am I? Oh. Hi. You're all right. Boy, the superintendent's gonna be pissed. Are you OK? Who are you guys? We're the Ghostbusters. Who does your taxes? You know, Mr Tully, you are a most fortunate individual. I know. You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional crossrip since the Tunguska blast of 1909. It felt great. We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue. OK. I love this town!
