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
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.
[giving up]
Jack Hardemeyer
Wait! Uh...Now, I'm sure there's another way.
[eyes widen]
Mayor Lenny
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?
[aggravated; forceful tone]
Jack Hardemeyer
Uh, they're not available.
Mayor Lenny
What do you mean they're not available?
[confused]
Jack Hardemeyer
Well, I had them committed to the psychiatric ward at Parkview Hospital.
[confessing]
Mayor Lenny
You WHAT?!
[shocked and angry]
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
But the election! You're making a big mistake, Mr. Mayor!
[shocked]
Mayor Lenny
Harry! Remove this man from the building! And get me the Ghostbusters!
[ignoring Hardemeyer]

Experimenting with Plasm in the Subway
Dr. Raymond Stantz
We've been experimenting with the plasm we found in the subway tunnel. Careful.
Dr. Peter Venkman
Should I get spoons?
Dr. Egon Spengler
Don't bother. Watch this. Go ahead, Ray.
[Ray sets the container on the table for everyone to see]
Stantz
You! You worthless piece of slime!
[yells at the container]
Stantz
You ignorant, disgusting blob!
[slime reacts]
Spengler
You're nothing but an unstable, short-chain molecule!
[slime reacts]
Stantz
You foul, obnoxious muck!
[slime reacts]
Spengler
You have a weak electrochemical bond!
[slime reacts]
Stantz
I have seen some disgusting crud in my time, but you take the cake!
Winston Zeddemore
Whoa, whoa!
[interrupting just before it overflows its container]
Stantz
You're a – You just –
Zeddemore
Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Venkman
This is what you do with your spare time?
[beat]
Stantz
Peter, this is an incredible breakthrough. I mean, what a discovery! A psychoreactive substance! Whatever this stuff is, it responds to human emotional states.
Venkman
Mood slime. Oh, baby...
[beat; to slime affectionately]
Zeddemore
You mean this stuff actually feeds on bad vibes?
Stantz
Like a cop in a donut factory.
Spengler
We've been running tests to see if we can get an equally strong positive reaction.
Venkman
What kind of tests?
Stantz
Well, we sing to it, and, uh, we talk to it, and say...supportive, nurturing things to it...
Venkman
You're not sleeping with it, are you, Ray?
Venkman
Oh, you!
[shakes his head in disbelief]
Zeddemore
It's always the quiet ones.
[mutters]
Venkman
You hound!

Psychic Predictions and the End of the World
Dr. Peter Venkman
Hi, welcome back to World of the Psychic, I'm Peter Venkman. I'm chatting with my guest, author, lecturer and psychic, Milton Anglund. Milt, your new book is called "The End of the World." Now can you tell us when it's going to be or do we have to buy the book?
Milton Anglund
Well I predict that the world will end at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve.
Venkman
This year?
Anglund
Mm-hmm.
Venkman
Well that's cutting it a little bit close, isn't it? I mean, just from a sales point of view, I mean your book is just coming out, you're not gonna see any paperback sales for at least a year. It'll be at least another year before you know whether you've got that mini-series or movie of the week kind of possibilities. I mean just Devil's Advocate Milty! I mean shouldn't you have said: Hey the world's going to end in 1992! Or better yet 1994!
Anglund
This is not just some money-making scheme! Alright! I have a strong psychic belief that the world will end on New Year's Eve.
[begins to cry]
Venkman
Well, for your sake, I hope you're right. Okay. But I think my other guest may disagree with you. Elaine, now you had another date in mind?
Elaine
According to my source, the end of the world will be on February 14, in the year 2016.
Venkman
Valentine's Day. Bummer. Where did you get your date, Elaine?
Elaine
I received this information from an alien. As I told my husband, it was in the Paramus Holiday Inn, I was having a drink at the bar, alone, and this alien approached me. He started talking to me. He bought me a drink, and then I think he must have used some kind of a ray or a mind control device because he forced me to follow him to his room and that's where he told me about the end of the world.
Venkman
So your alien had a room at the Holiday Inn, Paramus.
Elaine
It might have been a room on the spacecraft made up to look like a room in the Holiday Inn. I can't be sure about that, Peter.
Venkman
Of course not! And that is the whole problem with aliens; is you just can't trust them. Occasionally you meet a nice one; Starman, E.T., but usually they turn out to be some kind of big lizard. That's all the time we've got for this week on "World of the Psychic". Next week though...hairless pets. Weird. Until then, this is Peter Venkman saying See you then!
[to audience; holds up a hairless cat; puts a finger to his temple and sends out a thought to his viewers; laughs]

Unity and Confusion Amidst the Crowd
Vigo
Now we become one.
Crowd
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and ne'er brought to mind...
Dr. Raymond Stantz
Where's that singing coming from?
Winston Zeddemore
The people outside!
Crowd
If auld acquaintance be forgot, remember Auld Lang Syne!
Dr. Egon Spengler
He's weakening! The singing is neutralizing the slime!
Stantz
I can move!
Spengler
He's back in the painting!

A Meeting with the Mayor and Ghostbusters
Dr. Peter Venkman
Lenny. Big man.
Mayor Lenny
The Ghostbusters.
Winston Zeddemore
Mr. Mayor?
[holds out his hand, wanting to shake his hand]
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
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.
[getting started]
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
This is insane! Do we really have to listen to this?
[to the Mayor; aggravated]
Dr. Peter Venkman
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.
[to Hardemeyer; to the Mayor]
Jack Hardemeyer
Please.
[in disbelief]
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
Yeah, right.
[in disbelief]
Mayor Lenny
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.
[having enough; begins to walk off; leaves]

Judgment in Court for Ghostbusters Team
Judge Wexler
Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, Egon Spengler...stand up! Get up!
Judge Wexler
You too, Mr. Tully. I find you guilty on all charges! I order you to pay fines in the amount of $25,000 each! I sentence you to eighteen months in the city correctional facility at Rikers Island!
[looks at Louis; Louis stands up; reads his verdict; the jar of slime bubbles, Ray sees it; pounds his gavel]
Ray Stantz
Eggy! She's twitching!
[to Egon]
Judge Wexler
I'M NOT FINISHED! On a more personal note, let just me go on record as saying that there is no place for fakes, charlatans-
Egon Spengler
Uh, Your Honor?
Judge Wexler
Shut up! And tricksters like you in decent society!
Ray Stantz
Your Honor!
[interrupting]
Peter Venkman
Your Honor, this is very important-!
[interrupting with Ray]
Judge Wexler
You prey upon the gullibility of innocent people!
Ray Stantz
Yes, sir.
Judge Wexler
Be quiet!
Ray Stantz
But-
[points to the jar]
Judge Wexler
And believe me, if my hands were not tied by the unalterable fetters of the law! And I would indulge in the tradition of our illustrious forbears! Reach back, to a purer, sterner justice... ...and have you BURNED AT THE STAKE!
[slime rapidly overflows over the exhibit table; Peter, Ray, Egon and Louis begins to hide under the table]
Ray Stantz
Wow!
Judge Wexler
Oh my God, the Scoleri brothers! The Scoleri brothers!
[aghast; the ghouls lunge; he jumps over his bench and dives under the trio's table]
Ray Stantz
Friends of yours?
Judge Wexler
I tried them for murder! Gave them the chair! You gotta do something!
[one brother seeks out the group and spots them hiding]
Egon Spengler
Why don't you tell them you don't believe in ghosts?

Vigo the Carpathian's Grueling History
Dr. Egon Spengler
Vigo the Carpathian. Born 1505, died 1610.
Dr. Peter Venkman
105 years old? He hung in there, didn't he?
Dr. Raymond Stantz
He didn't die of old age, either. He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disemboweled, drawn and quartered.
Dr. Peter Venkman
Ouch.
Winston Zeddemore
Guess he wasn't too popular at the end, huh?
Dr. Egon Spengler
No, not exactly a man of the people. Also known as Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Torturer, Vigo the Despised, and Vigo the Unholy.
Dr. Peter Venkman
Wasn't he also Vigo the Butch?
Dr. Ray Stantz
And dig this, there was a prophecy. Just before his head died, his last words were "Death is but a door, time is but a window: I'll be back".

Urgency and Humor Amidst the Chaos
Dr. Egon Spengler
We're running out of time, Ray, it's almost midnight. Can't you make her go any faster?
Ray Stantz
I'm afraid the vibrations will shake her to pieces. We should have padded her feet!
Egon
I don't think they make Nikes in her size, Ray.
Dr. Peter Venkman
Don't worry, she's tough. She's a harbor chick!
Ray
Sorry, my fault!
