Memorable Quotes from Mckenna Grace
4 quotesA Ghostbuster's Unexpected Encounter with a Prisoner
Ray Stantz
Ray's Occult, and we're closed.
Phoebe
Wait! I only get one phone call. I'm... in prison.
Ray
The slammer, huh? Heh, been there myself. I'm no lawyer, but I'm listening.
Phoebe
Are you Ray Stanz, the Ghostbuster?
Ray
And now, I'm hanging up.
Phoebe
Hang on, please! I'm calling about Egon Spengler.
Ray
Egon Spengler can rot in Hell.
[pauses]
Phoebe
He died last week.
Ray
Oh, man... No kidding.
Phoebe
Weren't you two friends?
Ray
That was a long time ago.
Phoebe
What happened to you guys?
Ray
Well, when we started, busting ghosts was a gas. The economy was good. Reagan years. People believed in us, then things got slow. Hauntings got thin. Venkman thought we did our job too well. Oh, we could barely keep up our mortgage. Some actor bought up most of Tribeca, and we lost the firehouse. It's a Starbucks now.
Phoebe
So, then you all just walked away?
Ray
Peter went back to academia. He's in SUNY Cortland now, he's a Professor Emeritus, he teaches advertising and promotion. Winston went into finance, he worked hard, coined a fortune. And I'm... here.
Phoebe
Well... what about Egon?
Ray
Well, he wasn't helping. We went from ten calls a week, to one, if we were lucky. Then Egon started to tell people their little ghost problems didn't matter because the world was coming to an end. He got spooky, freaked me out! One morning, I go to work, and Ecto-1, our old Cadillac, is gone. His neutronophone and collider pack, all the traps! Sixteen ounces of fuel isotope! All gone! He cleaned us out! Now we were the dead ones.
Phoebe
Don't you think he might have had a reason?
Ray
He phoned me, about ten years later. Some small town in Oklahoma. Kept rambling on about the rising storm. A huge psychic tornado that was going to consume humanity in darkness forever. And, kid, I wanted to believe him-
Phoebe
You don't understand, there was this mountain, and it had these ancient carvings, and-
Ray
Kid, kid, kid, there are a lot of mountains out there with ancient carvings. Take a little advice: don't go chasing ghosts.
Phoebe
Egon Spengler was my grandfather.
Sheriff Domingo
Time's up.
[hangs up the phone]
Ray
Hello?
The Recklessness of Science Explained
Phoebe
Are you sure this is safe?
Gary
Safe? Heh. No. No, history is safe. Geometry: that's safe. Science is all particle accelerators and hydrogen bombs. Science is giving yourself the plague and gambling on the cure.
Phoebe
Science is reckless.
Gary
Totally! Yes! It's punk rock! A safety pin through the nipple of academia.
Podcast
Ouch.
Gary
Fire it up.
