Ghostbusters II - Mayor Calls for Help Amid Chaos
Mayor Lenny:
What the hell is going on? It's pandemonium out there!
Jack Hardemeyer:
Yes, I know. We're working on it!
Mayor Lenny: [giving up]
Great. While you're working on it, I'm going down as the mayor who let New York get sucked down into the tenth level of hell! All right, we got no choice. Call the Ghostbusters.
Jack Hardemeyer: [eyes widen]
Wait! Uh...Now, I'm sure there's another way.
Mayor Lenny: [aggravated; forceful tone]
Jack, I spent an hour last night in my bedroom talking to Fiorello LaGuardia, and he's been dead for 40 years! Now where are the Ghostbusters?
Jack Hardemeyer:
Uh, they're not available.
Mayor Lenny: [confused]
What do you mean they're not available?
Jack Hardemeyer: [confessing]
Well, I had them committed to the psychiatric ward at Parkview Hospital.
Mayor Lenny: [shocked and angry]
You WHAT?!
Jack Hardemeyer:
They were threatening to go to the press! I was protecting your interests!
Mayor:
Oh yeah?!
Jack Hardemeyer:
Uh-huh!
Mayor Lenny:
Well, you can stop protecting my interests! You have exactly three minutes to clear out! You're fired!
Jack Hardemeyer: [shocked]
But the election! You're making a big mistake, Mr. Mayor!
Mayor Lenny: [ignoring Hardemeyer]
Harry! Remove this man from the building! And get me the Ghostbusters!

Ghostbusters II - A Meeting with the Mayor and Ghostbusters
Dr. Peter Venkman:
Lenny. Big man.
Mayor Lenny:
The Ghostbusters.
Winston Zeddemore: [holds out his hand, wanting to shake his hand]
Mr. Mayor?
Mayor Lenny:
What is this? A slumber party?
Dr. Ray Stantz:
Well, that's why we wanted to see you.
Mayor Lenny:
Listen, I don't want to hear anything about it. You got two minutes. Make it good.
Dr. Ray Stantz: [getting started]
Well, first of all, Mr. Mayor, it's a great pleasure to see you again, and you'll be happy to know that almost fifty percent of us voted for you in the last election.
Mayor Lenny:
I appreciate that.
Dr. Peter Venkman:
I'm sorry we have to meet under these circumstances.
Dr. Ray Stantz:
Mr. Mayor, we're here tonight because a psychomagnatheric slimeflow of immense proportions is building up beneath the city.
Mayor Lenny:
Psycho-what?
Dr. Egon Spengler:
Psychomagnatheric.
Dr. Peter Venkman:
Big word, big word.
Dr. Egon Spengler:
Negative human emotions that are forming into a vicious ectoplasm with *explosive* supernormal potential.
Mayor Lenny:
Can somebody speak English here?
Winston Zeddemore:
Uh yeah. Your honor, what we're trying to say is all of the bad feelings. You know hate, anger and the vibes of the city are turning into this sludge. I didn't believe in it either. But, we just went for a swim in it and end up almost killing each other.
Jack Hardemeyer: [to the Mayor; aggravated]
This is insane! Do we really have to listen to this?
Dr. Peter Venkman: [to Hardemeyer; to the Mayor]
Can't you stop your lips from flapping for 2 little minutes? Lenny, have you been out on the street lately, do you know weird it is out there? We've taken our own headcount, there seems to be 3 *million* completely miserable assholes living in the Tri-State area.
Jack Hardemeyer: [in disbelief]
Please.
Peter Venkman:
I beg your pardon, 3 million and one.
Jack Hardemeyer:
Hey.
Dr. Ray Stantz:
And what fudgy brain here doesn't realize, that if we don't do something fast this whole place is gonna blow like a frog on a hot plate.
Jack Hardemeyer: [in disbelief]
Yeah, right.
Mayor Lenny: [having enough; begins to walk off; leaves]
What do you want me to do, go on television and tell 3 million people they have to be nice to each other? Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right. Your two minutes are up. Good night, gentlemen.
