Harold Ramis Quotes
Ghostbusters Prepare for Urgent Meeting with Mayor
Winston Zeddemore:
Hey, guard! Look, I want to make a phone call. Yeah, I just work with these guys, but I wasn't even there!
Egon Spengler:
It's not the girl, Peter, it's the building. Something terrible is about to 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 started a secret society.
Guard:
Okay, Ghostbusters, the Mayor wants to see you guys. Whole island's going crazy, let's go.
Peter Venkman:
I got to split, the Mayor wants to rap with me about some things.
