Confronting the Unknown in Ghostbusters
Peter Venkman We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!
Hotel Manager Did you see it? What was it?
Ray Stantz We got it!
[holding up the steaming ghost-trap]
Hotel Manager What is it? Will there be any more of them?
Ray Stantz Sir, what you had there was what we referred to as a focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm, or a Class-5 full-roaming vapor. Real nasty one, too.
[coughs]
Peter Venkman And now... ...let's talk seriously. Now, for the entrapment, we're gonna have to ask you for four big ones, $4,000 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 $1,000, fortunately.
[clears his throat; Spengler holds up four fingers behind the Manager; Spengler holds up one finger]
Hotel Manager $5,000? 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 Yeah, we certainly can, Dr. Venkman.
Hotel Manager No, no, no, no! All right. Anything.
Peter Venkman Thank you.
[smiling]
Ray Stantz Thank you. Hope we can help you again. Coming through! One Class-5 full-roaming vapor. Move em out!
[to the hotel guests]
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.

The Contrast Between Academia and Industry
Dr. 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.
The Consequences of Crossing the Streams
Egon Spengler Don't cross the streams.
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.
[shocked gasp]
Peter Venkman Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

Hotel Guest What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?

[chuckles]
Hotel Guest That's gotta be some cockroach.
Peter Venkman Bite your head off, man.
Ray Stantz Going up?
Hotel Guest (No, thanks.) I'll take the next one.

Gozer the Traveler
Dr. Egon Spengler [Egon is running tests on Louis, who has been possessed by Vinz Clortho and is now the Keymaster] Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?
Louis Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

Ray Stantz 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 of your family been diagnosed schizophrenic? Mentally incompetent?
Librarian Alice My uncle thought he was St. Jerome.
Peter Venkman I'd call that a big yes. Uh, are you habitually using drugs, stimulants, alcohol?
Librarian Alice No.
Peter Venkman No, no. Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?
Library Administrator (What?) What has that got to do with it?
[disturbed]
Peter Venkman Back off, man. I'm a scientist.
