[Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" playing]

Ghostbusters!

[Slimer screaming]

There's something strange

In the neighborhood

Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters!

[alarm ringing]

There's something weird

And it don't look good

[exclaiming]

Who you gonna call?

[cat yowling]

Ghostbusters!

- [growling]

- [screaming]

[Slimer] Luigi, jump!

I ain't afraid of no ghost

[screaming]

I ain't afraid of no ghost

[Slimer] Ghostbusters.

[Slimer] Yeah!

Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters!

And me! And me!

[whirring]

[buzzing]

Shoo, fly!

[screams]

Oh! Sorry, Janine.

[groaning] That's OK, Slimer.

We're all a little tired.

A little tired?

My calculator just fell asleep.

That's it. Break time.

We deserve it.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

The sl*ve drivers are back.

[Peter] Well, lookey here.

Must be nice, huh, guys?

Yeah, nice.

You people don't know

how easy you have it.

It's a jungle out there in the real world.

Hey, we're working hard, too, you know?

Uh, which reminds me.

When can discuss

the pay raise you promised?

Uh, we'll talk about it later, Janine.

That's what you said yesterday.

Egon said it yesterday.

I said it day before yesterday.

Anyway, I have to hustle over

to the ladies charity function

where I will be auctioned off

as a date to the highest lady bidder.

Ah, the price of fame.

The name's Venkman, Peter Venkman.

Hey, I gotta run, too.

I'm guest speaker

at a comic book convention.

Yeah, and I got to be

on the set in 10 minutes.

We start sh**ting the Fizz up

TV commercial today.

And I'm off to the University to receive

their Annual Scientific Achievement Award.

- [car honking]

- There's the cabs.

Wait, guys! These checks need signing.

[Peter] We'll sign 'em later, Louis.

That's what you said yesterday.

- Ciao, Janine.

- We'll bring you a doggie bag, Spud.

- Adios, Louis.

- [Winston] Later, guys.

Boy! If their heads swell anymore,

they'll have to wear

"wide load" signs on their backs.

Yeah, and meanwhile,

we don't get pay checks.

[blows raspberry]

Thanks. Uh, are the ladies ready for me?

Uh, sorry, sir,

but the Ladies Club isn't meeting today.

Of course they are, my good man.

They're expecting me.

[brakes screeching]

[man] You sure this is the place, pal?

There's no comic book convention here.

Yes, there is.

Look, I'm the guest speaker.

Just take me around to the stage entrance.

[man] You're the boss.

Hello! I'm here. Ray Stantz.

You know, The Ghostbusters?

What?

All right, C.B. Roll 'em.

[Egon] [clears throat] I am deeply honored

and to some small degree

even humbled to be the recipient

of this prestigious award.

What?

[yelling]

[mumbling]

Good afternoon, ladies.

[shrieking]

Whoa!

You've really been counting

those calories, huh, girls?

[shrieking continues]

[ghost] Welcome, Mr. Stantz.

We've been expecting you.

Hey!

What

Whoa!

[screaming]

Yeah. Roll 'em!

Nice make up job.

Hey, what's goin' on?

[shouting]

[Egon screaming]

[Peter screaming]

[Ray screaming]

[Winston screaming]

[all groaning]

Man, would somebody

tell me what's goin' on?

Where are we?

And don't say we're not in Kansas anymore.

Wherever we are, if this tux is messed up,

I'm not payin' for it.

[Judge] Silence!

[creaking]

Are we dreaming or what?

No dream, Ray.

I believe this is the other side.

The spirit world.

[chuckling]

Quiet!

Quiet in my court room.

This court is now in session.

Bring the prisoners forward.

[ghosts laughing]

You Ghostbusters shall stand trial

for all of your countless crimes

against spirit kind.

A charge that is punishable by

By

Oh, never mind.

The punishment is much

too horrible to mention.

[Louis] The guys back yet, Janine?

No. And without my paycheck,

I can't buy groceries tonight.

Here's money, Janine?

Aw, that's sweet, Slimer, but you keep it.

Gosh! I wonder what's keeping them.

They're probably out eating filet mignon,

while I go home and open a can of beans.

How late do those ceremonies last, anyway?

Who knows? Check the invitations.

Round file.

Wait a sec!

All these invitations

are in the same handwriting.

What?

You're right, Louis.

How weird.

[sniffing] Uh-oh. Ghosts!

Ghosts?

- [PKE meter beeping]

- Holy cow!

Look at the meter.

Louis, I think the guys

have walked right into a ghost trap.

Oh, no!

Yeah. And without their

ghost-busting gear.

What are we going to do?

Only one thing to do.

Look out below.

- [grunts]

- Louis, are you OK?

I just can't get the hang

of that stupid pole.

Slimer!

Coming, Janine.

Everybody ready?

Ready.

Let's rock and roll!

Yeah, yeah, rock and roll.

I hope you have a plan, Janine.

Never leave home without one.

Start reading out those addresses.

Tell me, Ghostbusters, where were you

on the night of April 17th 1840?

1840? We weren't even born yet, pal.

A flimsy excuse.

You're right. How stupid of me!

Do you recognize these faces,

Ghostbusters?

[Peter] Isn't that the Boogieman?

Boy, he sure has aged.

[laughs]

I hate that.

These are all victims of your wanton ways.

Kidnapped by you and imprisoned

in your cruel containment device.

[all screaming]

Hey, what kind of court is this, anyway?

Basketball.

You want to play some one-on-one?

[buzzing]

[groaning]

[all] Guilty!

Not yet.

I'd say we have two chances

for a fair trial.

Zilch and none.

[tires squeal]

[Janine] I hope we find something here.

This is the last address.

[Louis] Come on.

Here we go.

[creaking]

[PKE device beeping rapidly]

[Janine] What's this?

[gasps] Egon's bow tie!

The readings in here are exactly the same

as the places Ray Winston

and Peter went to.

[gasps] You know what?

I think the guys have been

kidnapped by ghosts!

Oh, no! Poor guys!

Jury, what is your verdict?

I now pronounce you man and wife.

Uh, no, no, wait.

Ah! I now declare

this bridge officially open.

- No, no, no, no. No.

- [snoring]

I find you guilty as charged.

Take them away!

Hey, come on!

[Louis] But if the guys

were kidnapped by ghosts,

where would the ghosts take them?

The ghost world.

The ghost world? Oh, that's awful!

I'll say.

They're blowing all their

accrued vacation days

in a very overrated spot.

We have to rescue them.

Uh, us? You mean,

go to the ghost world? But how?

Slimer? You're a ghost.

You must know a way in.

Well[stammers]

Yeah! Yeah, I know a way.

[ghosts laughing]

Oh, I hate that!

[ghost mimicking] I hate that.

Keep it moving.

[all laughing]

[chittering]

Hey, watch it!

Enjoy your stay.

Hey, nobody told us how long we're in for.

[guard] You'll find out, flesh boys.

[laughs]

[ghosts laughing]

[Janine] Slimer, that's not even a street.

Ghosts don't need streets.

He has a point.

[Slimer] Turn here, turn here.

Yeah, yeah, this is it.

[Janine] Oh!

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's do it.

Wait, Janine. Not till midnight.

Why? What happens at midnight?

We'll find out in about two seconds.

[all screaming]

[all groaning]

[Slimer] Okey-dokey. Let's move on.

[Janine] Swell!

This isn't exactly the yellow brick road,

but let's go.

Boy! I never thought

we'd end up like this.

- Yeah. Pretty humiliating.

- [ghastly harmonica music]

Whoever's playing the crummy harmonica,

knock it off!

- Uh, Peter.

- What?

It's their version of elevator music.

[groans]

[Slimer] See? Ghost world.

Nice work, Slimer. Now to find the guys.

Where do we start?

I think it's that way. No, that way. No!

[sighing] Never mind. We'll go this way.

[whistle blows]

Chow time.

I hope the food's good.

I'm starvin' to death.

Boy! All my favorites.

Any chef specials today?

Move along, skin brain.

Oh, yuck. [gasps]

[Egon] A little eyeball helper

will do wonders.

Er, pardon me, but, uh, have you seen

four gentlemen, about yea high?

[screaming]

Blabber mouth.

Nobody's going to tell us

where the guys are.

We got to find them on our own.

[Ray] Peter, what are you doing?

[Peter] We got to bust out of this joint.

I can't stand it anymore

and neither can my hair.

Peter, without a plan,

you may be wasting your time.

The security here is fierce.

OK, fine. When my escape tunnel's ready,

you guys can't use it.

[grunting]

See? Never say die.

Uh, Peter

No need to apologize, Winston.

Some of us are leaders

and some of us are

[screaming]

[Peter] I hate that!

Peter! But, from where?

- [Peter] I really, really, hate that!

- Up there.

[Slimer] Oh, no!

It looks like a prison.

[Janine] Come on.

If that's where the guys are,

then that's where we're going.

No, no! Don't take me there.

Don't take me to theThe Arm Pit?

What's the Arm Pit?

You'll find out soon enough.

You boys are next. [laughing]

You mean, right now?

No! Right now, you've got visitors.

[all] Visitors? Here?

[Janine] Shame on you, Peter.

Don't you boys recognize

your sweet old Mama and Papa?

[all] Janine and Louis?

[Janine] Slimer.

What are you guys doing here?

Yeah, this is not a nice place.

We came to bust you out.

Louis, we're outnumbered here 100 to one.

Actually, 100.5 to one.

But we brought blasters.

- Blasters? Where are they?

- [Janine] We stashed them.

We'll make our move at lights out.

[ghost] Your three minutes are up.

[screaming]

[Slimer moans]

A-ha! [keys jangling]

Hostage clear.

[guard snoring]

OK, guys, let's go.

[Louis] They're gone!

[Slimer groans]

Your friends have gone to theTo the

Arm Pit.

Why do I get the feeling

we're walking the last mile?

[Egon] Because that's precisely

what we're doing.

Will you guys shut up?

I'm depressed enough.

[ghosts snarling]

- Any last words?

- Yeah.

[clears throat]

Four score and seven years ago,

our fathers came forth to this

Shut up! You creeps are out of here.

Stop! Stop! I have a pardon

from the governor.

Phew! Just like in the movies.

Pardon me, boys.

[all screaming]

Now who you're gonna call?

[ghosts] Not the ghostbusters. [laughing]

Down, boy, down.

Shoo! Away!

Didn't your mothers ever tell you

to keep your claws to yourself?

Uh, guess not.

[Egon] Help!

They've got me. I can't hang on.

Egon!

You know, you guys,

sure don't make things easy.

Janine! I could kiss you.

I wanna kiss too.

Sorry, spud. It was a limited time offer.

[Ray screams]

Janine. Louis. Get us out of here.

Heads up!

Go! Hurry up. Hurry up.

[all cheering]

[chuckles] all right. We made it!

[Janine] Uh-oh.

We're not out of the woods yet.

[growling]

[howling]

[Janine] The portal's shrinking.

[Slimer] Hurry, hurry!

[Egon] It must be dawn in the real world.

The portal can only exist at night.

[snarling]

Ghostbusters!

[all screaming]

We must be home. There's the East River.

Oh, I think we're in the East River.

No. It's not this clean.

Now I know how you guys feel

at the end of a day.

By the way, Janine, you've got that raise.

I do? Oh, Peter! Thank you so much.

[Peter] Janine!

[all] He hates that!

[closing theme song playing]

Ghostbusters!

There's something strange

In the neighborhood

Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters!

There's something weird

And it don't look good

Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters!

I ain't afraid of no ghost

I ain't afraid of no ghost

Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters!
