[edit] Dr. Peter Venkman
- So, somebody blows their nose and you wanna keep it?
- Whoa, whoa, whoa! Nice shootin', Tex!
- [To the city library ghost] Hello, I'm Peter. Where are you from... originally?
- [After the group's failed attempt to charge the ghost in the city library] Hee hee hee! 'Get her'! That was your whole plan, Ray? 'Get her'?
- All right! This chick is toast!
- Lets show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown.
- [seeing the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man] Well, that's something you don't see every day.
- Mother puss-bucket.
- We've been doing this all wrong. This Mr. Stay-Puft is okay! He's a sailor, he's in New York– we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!
- Nobody steps on a church in my town!
- See you on the other side, Ray.
[edit] Dr. Ray Stantz
- Funny us going out like this. Killed by a hundred-foot marshmallow man.
[edit] Winston Zeddemore
- I have seen shit that will turn you white.
- [last line] I love this town!
[edit] Dialogue
- Peter Venkman: I have to go now, Jennifer, but I'd like to work with you some more. Perhaps you could come back this evening, say at--
- Jennifer: Eight o'clock?
- Peter Venkman: I was just about to say, "eight o'clock!" You are a legitimate phenomenon!
- Peter Venkman: As a friend, I have to tell you you've finally gone round the bend on this ghost business. You guys 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?
- Ray Stantz: Of course you forget, Peter, I was present at an undersea, unexplained, mass sponge migration.
- Peter Venkman: Ooh, Ray, those sponges migrated about a foot and a half.
- Egon Spengler: [after learning about the ghost in the New York Public Library] This is big, Peter. There's definitely something here.
- Peter Venkman: You know, Egon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole in your head. Remember?
- Egon Spengler: That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.
- Alice: I don't remember seeing any legs, but it definitely had arms, because it reached out for me.
- Ray Stantz: [excited] Arms!? I can't wait to get a look at this thing!
- Peter Venkman: Alice, I'm going to ask you a couple of standard questions, okay? Have you or any member of your family ever been diagnosed schizophrenic? Mentally incompetent?
- Alice: My uncle thought he was Saint Jerome.
- Peter Venkman: I'd call that a big "yes". Are you habitually using drugs, stimulants, alcohol?
- Alice: No!
- Peter Venkman: No, no. Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?
- Roger Delacourte: What does that got to do with it?
- Peter Venkman: Back off, man. I'm a scientist.
- Ray Stantz: [finding a tower of stacked books] Look!
- Egon Spengler: This is hot, Ray.
- Ray Stanz: Symmetrical book stacking, just like the Philadelphia Mass Turbulence of 1947.
- Peter Venkman: You're right. No human being would stack books like this.
- Peter Venkman: I trust you're moving us to better quarters on campus.
- Dean Yeager: No, you're being moved off campus. The board of regents has decided to terminate your grant. You are to vacate these premises immediately.
- Peter Venkman: This is preposterous. I demand an explanation.
- Dean Yeager: Fine. The university will no longer continue any funding of any kind for your group's activities.
- Peter Venkman: But the kids love us.
- Dean Yeager: Doctor... 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, Doctor Venkman.
- Peter Venkman: I see.
- Dean Yeager: And you have no place in this department or in this university.
- Ray Stantz [after getting fired] This is a major disgrace. Forget MIT or Stanford now. They wouldn't touch us with a ten-meter cattle-prod.
- Peter Venkman: You're always so concerned about your reputation. Einstein did his best stuff when he was working as a patent clerk!
- Ray Stantz: You know how much a patent clerk earns?
- Peter Venkman: No!
- Ray Stantz: Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities. We didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there. I've worked in the private sector. They expect results.
- Peter Venkman: 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.
- Ray Stantz: For what purpose?
- Peter Venkman: To go into business for ourselves.
- Ray Stantz: This ecto-containment system that Spengler and I have in mind is going to require a load of bread to capitalize. Where are we going to get the money?
- Peter Venkman: I don't know. [drinks from a flask] I don't know.
- Peter Venkman: [leaving the bank] You're never going to regret this, Ray!
- Ray Stantz: My parents left me that house! I was born there!
- Peter Venkman: You're not going to lose the house. Everybody has three mortgages nowadays.
- Ray Stantz: But at nineteen percent! You didn't even bargain with the guy!
- Egon Spengler: Ray, for your information, the interest rate alone for the first five years comes to $95,000.
- Peter Venkman: Will you guys relax? We are on the threshold of establishing the indispensable defense science of the next decade. Professional paranormal investigations and eliminations. The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams.
- Realtor: There's office space, sleeping quarters and showers on the next floor, and there's a full kitchen on the top level.
- Peter Venkman: I just think it's a little pricey for a unique fixer-upper opportunity. What do you think, Egon?
- Egon Spengler: I think this building should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all the load bearing members, the wiring is sub-standard; it's completely inadequate for our power needs. And the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone.
- Ray Stantz: [from the floor above] Hey, does this pole still work? [slides down fireman's pole] Wow! This place is great! When can we move in? You gotta try this pole.
- Louis Tully: Oh, Dana, it's you!
- Dana Barrett: Oh, hi, yes Louis, it's me.
- Louis Tully: I thought it was the drugstore.
- Dana Barrett: Oh, are you sick?
- Louis Tully: Oh! No, no, I'm fine, I feel great! Just ordered some more vitamins and stuff. I was just exercising. I taped a twenty minute workout and played it back at high speed on my machine so it only took ten minutes. I got a great workout.
- Dana Barrett: Good.
- Louis Tully: You wanna come in for a mineral water or something?
- Dana Barrett: Oh, I'd really like to, Louis, but I have to go rehearsal now. Excuse me.
- Louis Tully: No sweat, I'll take a rain check on that. I always have plenty of low sodium mineral water and other nutritious foods in the house. But you already know that.
- Dana Barrett: Yeah, I know that.
- Louis Tully: Listen, that reminds me, I'm having a big party for all my clients, my fourth anniversary as an accountant, you know, and even though you do your own tax return, which you shouldn't do, I'd like you to stop by, being that you're my neighbor and all--
- Dana Barrett: Well, thank you, Louis, I'll really try to stop by.
- Louis Tully: Listen, that reminds me, you shouldn't leave your TV on so loud when you go out. The creep down the hall phoned the manager.
- Dana Barrett: That's strange, I didn't realize I'd left it on.
- Louis Tully: Well, yeah, you know what I did? I climbed on the ledge and tried to disconnect the cable, but I couldn't get in, so you know what I did? I turned my TV up real loud too so everyone would think all our TVs had something wrong with them--
- Dana Barrett: Bye, Louis. [closes her door]
- Louis Tully: Okay, so I'll see you later, huh?! I'll give you a call! I'm going to go have a shower.
- [Commercial for the Ghostbusters]
- Ray Stanz: Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night?
- Egon Spengler: Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?
- Peter Venkman: Have you or any of your family ever seen a spook, specter or ghost?
- Ray Stanz: If the answer is yes, then don't wait another minute. Pick up your phone and call the professionals.
- All: Ghostbusters!
- Ray Stanz: Our courteous and efficient staff is on call twenty-four hours a day to serve all your supernatural elimination needs.
- All: We're ready to believe you!
- Peter Venkman: Janine! Any calls?
- Janine Melnitz: No.
- Peter Venkman: Any messages?
- Janine Melnitz: No.
- Peter Venkman: Any customers?
- Janine Melnitz: No, Doctor Venkman.
- Peter 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. [pause] Janine! Sorry about the bug eyes thing. I'll be in my office. [leaves]
- [Spengler pops out from under Janine's desk]
- Janine Melnitz: You're very handy. I can tell. I bet you like to read a lot, too.
- Egon Spengler: Print is dead.
- Janine Melnitz: 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?
- Egon Spengler: I collect spores, molds and fungus.
- Dana Barrett: [hooked up to a machine] And 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.
- Peter Venkman: Generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance. What do you think it was?
- Dana Barrett: Well, if I knew what it was I wouldn't be here.
- Peter Venkman: Egon, what do you think?
- Egon Spengler: She's telling the truth. At least, she thinks she is.
- Dana Barrett: Well, of course I'm telling the truth! Who would make up a story like that?
- Peter Venkman: Some are people who just want attention. Others, just nutballs who come in off the street.
- Ray Stanz: You know what it could be? Past-life experience intruding on present time.
- Egon Spengler: Could be erased memories stored in the collective unconscious. I wouldn't rule out clairvoyance or telepathic contact, either.
- Dana Barrett: I'm sorry, I don't believe in any of those things.
- Peter Venkman: Well, that's all right. I don't either. But there are some things we do. Standard procedures we carry out in a case like this which often bring us results.
- Ray Stanz: Well, I could go down to the hall of records and check out the structural details in the building. Maybe the building itself has a history of psychic turbulence.
- Peter Venkman: Right, go do that.
- Egon Spengler: I could look for the name Zuul in the usual literature.
- Ray Stanz: Spates Catalog.
- Egon Spengler: Tobin's Spirit Guide.
- Ray Stanz: Yeah.
- Peter Venkman: Tell you what. I'll take Miss Barrett back to her apartment and check her out-- I'll go check out Miss Barrett's apartment, okay?
- Dana Barrett: Okay, thank you.
- Dana Barrett: [to Venkman checking her room checking her bedroom for ghosts] That's the bedroom, but nothing ever happened in there!
- Peter Venkman: What a crime.
- Dana Barrett: You know, you don't act like a scientist.
- Peter Venkman: They're usually pretty stiff.
- Dana Barrett: You're more like a game show host.
- Peter Venkman: 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!
- Dana Barrett: Dr. Venkman-
- Peter Venkman: I meet you, and I say, my God, there's someone with the same problem I have!
- Dana Barrett: Yes, we both have the same problem. You!
- Man at Elevator: [Looking at the team's suits and packs] What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?
- Peter Venkman: No, we're exterminators. Someone saw a cockroach up on the twelfth.
- Man at Elevator: That's gotta be some cockroach.
- Peter Venkman: Bite your head off, man.
- Ray Stantz: [entering elevator] Going up?
- Man at Elevator: I'll take the next one.
- Ray Stanz: You know, it just occurred to me, we haven't had a completely successful test of this equipment.
- Egon Spengler: I blame myself.
- Peter Venkman: So do I.
- Ray Stanz: No sense worrying about it now.
- Peter Venkman: Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.
- Ray Stanz: Yep. Let's get ready. Switch me on!
- [Spengler and Stantz nearly fry a cleaning maid with their proton streams]
- Cleaning Maid: What the hell are you doin'?
- Egon Spengler: Sorry!
- Ray Stantz: I'm sorry!
- Peter Venkman: We thought you were someone else. [turns to the other two] Successful test.
- Ray Stantz: I guess so...um, I think we should split up.
- Egon Spengler: I agree.
- Peter Venkman: Yeah, we can do more damage that way.
- Peter Venkman: [nervously staring down Slimer] Come in, Ray.
- Rawmond Stantz: Venkman? I saw it, I saw it, I saw it!
- Peter Venkman: It's right here, Ray. It's looking at me.
- Raymond Stantz: Ugly little spud, isn't he?
- Peter Venkman: I think he can hear you, Ray.
- Raymond Stantz: Don't move. It won't hurt you. [Venkman screams as Slimer attacks him] Venkamn! Venkman! Venkman! Peter! Are you okay?
- [Stantz runs over to find Venkman on the floor covered in slime but otherwise unharmed]
- Peter Venkman: He slimed me.
- Raymond Stantz: That's great! Actual physical contact! Can you move?
- Egon Spengler: [over walkie-talkie] Ray, come in, please.
- Peter Venkman: I feel so funky.
- Ray Stanz: Spengler! I'm with Venkman! He got slimed!
- Egon Spengler: That's great, Ray! Save some for me. Get down here right away. It just went into a ballroom!
- Egon Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
- Peter Venkman: What?
- Egon Spengler: Don't cross the streams.
- Peter Venkman: Why?
- Egon Spengler: It would be bad.
- Peter Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole "good/bad" thing. What do you mean, "bad"?
- Egon Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously, and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
- Ray Stantz: Total protonic reversal!
- Peter Venkman: Right, that's bad. Okay. All right, important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.
- Peter Venkman: We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!
- Hotel Manager: Did you see it? What is it?
- Ray Stantz: We got it!
- Hotel Manager: What is it? Will there be any more of them?
- Ray Stantz: Sir, what you have there is what we refer to as a focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm, or a Class Five full roaming vapor. Real nasty one, too!
- Peter Venkman: Now, Let's talk seriously, now. For the entrapment, we're gonna have to ask you for four big ones. Four-thousand dollars for that. But we are having a special this week on proton charging and storage of the beast, and that's only going to come to one-thousand dollars, fortunately.
- Hotel Manager: Five thousand dollars? I had no idea it would be so much. I won't pay it.
- Peter Venkman: Well, that's all right. We can just put it right back in there.
- Ray Stantz: We certainly can, Dr. Venkman.
- Hotel Manager: No, no, no, no! All right! I'll pay anything!
- Peter Venkman: Thanks so much.
- Janine Melnitz: Do you believe in UFOs, astral projection, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full-trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?
- Winston Zeddemore: Um, if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.
- Peter Venkman: Can I help you?
- Walter Peck: I'm Walter Peck. I represent the Environmental Protection Agency, the third district.
- Peter Venkman: Great! How's it going down there?
- Walter Peck: Are you Peter Venkman?
- Peter Venkman: Yes, I'm Doctor Venkman.
- Walter Peck: Exactly what are you a doctor of, Mr. Venkman?
- Peter Venkman: Well, I have PhD's in parapsychology and psychology.
- Walter Peck: I see. And now you catch ghosts?
- Peter Venkman: Yeah, you could say that.
- Walter Peck: And how many ghosts have you caught, Mr. Venkman?
- Peter Venkman: I'm not at liberty to say.
- Walter Peck: And where do you put these ghosts, once you catch them?
- Peter Venkman: In a storage facility.
- Walter Peck: And would this storage facility be located on these premises?
- Peter Venkman: Yes.
- Walter Peck: And may I see this storage facility?
- Peter Venkman: No.
- Walter Peck: And why not, Mr. Venkman?
- Peter Venkman: Because you did not use the magic word.
- Walter Peck: What is the magic word, Mr. Venkman?
- Peter Venkman: "Please."
- Walter Peck: [chuckles] May I please see the storage facility?
- Peter Venkman: Why do you want to see the storage facility?
- Walter Peck: Well, because I'm curious. I want to know more about what you do here! Frankly, there have been a lot of wild stories in the media and we want to assess for any possible environmental impact from your operation! For instance, the presence of noxious, possibly hazardous waste chemicals in your basement! Now you either show me what is down there or I come back with a court order.
- Peter Venkman: You go get a court order! And I'll sue your ass for wrongful prosecution.
- Walter Peck: You can have it your way, Mr. Venkman.
- Egon Spengler: [about ghost storage facility] I'm worried, Ray. It's getting crowded in there. And all my recent data points to something big on the horizon.
- Winston Zeddemore: What do you mean, big?
- Egon Spengler: Well. Let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long weighing approximately six-hundred pounds.
- Ray Stantz: (coughs in reaction)
- Winston Zeddemore: That's a big Twinkie.
- Ray Stanz: We could be on the verge of a fourfold crossrip! A P.K.E. surge of incredible, even dangerous proportions!
- Peter Venkman: [enters] We just had a visit from the Environmental Protection Agency. How's the grid holding up?
- Ray Stanz: Not good.
- Winston Zeddemore: Tell him about the Twinkie.
- Peter Venkman: What about the Twinkie!?
- Egon Spengler: Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?
- Louis Tully (as Vinz Clortho): Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the Rectification of the Vuldronaii, the Traveler came as a large moving Torb! Then, during the Third Reconciliation of the Last of the Meketrex Supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Sloar! Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day, I can tell you!
- Winston Zeddemore: Hey, Ray, do you believe in God?
- Ray Stanz: Never met Him.
- Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, well I do. And I love Jesus's style, you know.
- Ray Stanz: [looking at blueprints] This roof cap is made of a magnesium-tungsten alloy...
- Winston Zeddemore: What are you so involved in there?
- Ray Stanz: These are the blueprints for the structural ironwork for Dana's apartment building, and they're very, very strange.
- Winston Zeddemore: Hey, Ray. Do you remember something in the Bible about the last days, when the dead would rise from the grave?
- Ray Stanz: 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."
- Winston Zeddemore: "And the seas boiled and the skies fell."
- Ray Stanz: Judgment Day.
- Winston Zeddemore: Judgment Day.
- Ray Stanz: Every ancient religion has its own myth about the end of the world.
- Winston Zeddemore: Myth? Ray, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason we've been so busy lately is because the dead have been rising from the grave?
- Ray Stanz: [shivering] How about a little music?
- Winston Zeddemore: Yeah.
- Egon Spengler: The structure of this roof cap is exactly like the kind of telemetry tracker that NASA uses to identify dead pulsars in deep space.
- Ray Stanz: Cold riveted girders with cores of pure selenium.
- Peter Venkman: [to jailbirds] Everyone getting this so far? So what? I guess they just don't make them like they used to.
- Ray Stanz: No! Nobody ever made them like this! The architect was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko!
- Peter Venkman: 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?
- Ray Stanz: You never studied. The whole building is a huge super-conductive antenna that was designed and built expressly for the purpose of pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence. Your girlfriend, Pete, lives in the corner penthouse of Spook Central.
- Peter Venkman: 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...
- Egon Spengler: It's not the girl, Peter, it's the building! Something terrible is about the enter our world and this building is obviously 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 founded a secret society.
- Peter Venkman: Let me guess: Gozer worshippers?
- Egon Spengler: Right.
- Peter Venkman: [to Stanz] "No studying"!
- Egon Spengler: After the First World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive. And he wasn't alone; he had close to a thousand followers when he died. They conducted rituals up on the roof, bizarre rituals intended to bring about the end of the world, and now it looks like it may actually happen!
- Peter Venkman: [singing] So be good, for goodness sake! Whoa! Somebody's coming! Somebody's coming!
- Ray Stanz: We have to get out of here. We've gotta get a judge or something.
- Winston Zeddemore: Hey, wait a minute! Hold it! Now are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is gonna drop in on Central Park West and start tearing up the city?!
- Egon Spengler: Sumerian, not Babylonian.
- Peter Venkman: Yeah. Big difference.
- Winston Zeddemore: No offense, guys, but I gotta get my own lawyer.
- Ray Stantz: Everything was fine until our power grid was shut off by Dick-less here.
- Walter Peck: They caused an explosion!
- Mayor: Is this true?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes, it's true – this man has no dick. [Peck lunges at him but is restrained by others] Well, that's what I heard!
- Peter Venkman: Well, you can believe Mr. Pecker...
- Walter Peck: My name is "Peck."
- Peter Venkman: Or you can accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
- Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
- Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff!
- Peter Venkman: Exactly.
- Ray Stanz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling!
- Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes!
- Winston Zeddmore: The dead rising from the grave!
- Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!
- Mayor: Enough! I get the point! And what if you're wrong?
- Peter Venkman: If we're wrong, then nothing happens. We go to jail, peacefully, quietly. We'll enjoy it. But if we're right, and we can stop this thing... Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters.
- Ray Stantz: Hey, where do these stairs go?
- Peter Venkman: They go up.
- Ray Stantz: [approaching Gozer] 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 next convenient parallel dimension.
- Peter Venkman: That oughtta do it. Thanks very much, Ray.
- Gozer: Are you a god?
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: [looks at the others, who all nod] No.
- Gozer: Then... DIIIIIIIIE! [sends the Ghostbusters sprawling with lightning bolts]
- Winston Zeddmore: Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "Yes!"
- Gozer: Sub-creatures! Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, the Traveller has come! Choose and perish!
- Ray Stantz: What do you mean, choose? We don't understand!
- Gozer: Choose! Choose the form of the Destructor!
- Peter Venkman: Oh, I get it. Real cute! [to the others] Whatever we think of– if we think of J. Edgar Hoover, J. Edgar Hoover will appear and destroy us, Okay? So empty your heads, don't think of anything. We've only got one shot at this.
- Gozer: The choice is made!
- Peter Venkman: Whoa! Hold on!
- Gozer: The Traveller has come!
- Peter Venkman: Nobody chose anything! [turns to Egon] Did you choose anything?
- Egon Spengler: No.
- Peter Venkman: [to Winston] Did you?
- Winston Zeddemore: My mind is totally blank.
- Peter Venkman: I didn't choose anything.
- [All three turn to look at Ray]
- Ray Stantz: I couldn't help it. It just popped in there.
- Peter Venkman: [sternly] What? What "just popped in there?"
- Ray Stantz: I- I- I tried to think...
- Egon Spengler: Look!
- [They all look over one side of the roof]
- Ray Stantz: No! It can't be!
- Peter Venkman: What is it?
- Ray Stantz: It can't be!
- Peter Venkman: What did you do, Ray?!
- Winston Zeddemore: Oh, shit!
- [They all see a giant cubic white head topped with a sailor hat]
- Ray Stantz: It's the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
- Egon Spengler: I have a radical idea. If the door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.
- Peter Venkman: How?
- Egon Spengler: We'll cross the streams.
- Peter Venkman: Excuse me, Egon, you said crossing the streams was bad.
- Ray Stanz: Cross the streams...
- Peter Venkman: You're gonna endanger us, you're gonna endanger our client. The nice lady who paid us in advance before she became a dog.
- Egon Spengler: Not necessarily. There's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive.
- Peter Venkman: I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it. Let's do it!
- Winston Zeddmore: This job is definitely not worth eleven-five a year!
- Ray Stantz: You know, Mr. Tully, you are a most fortunate individual!
- Louis Tully: I know.
- Ray Stantz: You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional crossrip since the Tunguska blast of 1909!
- Louis Tully: Felt great.
- Egon Spengler: We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue.
- Louis Tully: Okay.
