[children chattering]

Come on. School's out for the weekend.

Let's do something.

Baseball, the beach...

Look what's coming. It's Fenderman.

Hi, guys. Hi, Cindy.

[scoffs]
What are you supposed to be, Fenderman?

A Martian janitor?

Shows what you guys know.

I'm a Ghostbuster.

Sure, Fenderman.

And I'm Inspector Gadget.

[all laughing and mocking]

Come on, Willy. Let him alone.

It's only Kenny.

Besides, it's a pretty neat costume.

It's not a costume. It's a uniform.

All official Ghostbusters wear it.

Yeah? And what makes you official,
Fender-bender?

I'm a full-fledged Ghostbuster.

I enlisted.

[all laughing]

I'll show you. I'll prove it.

I will.

[all jeering and laughing]

[Ray] So, what's it supposed to be?

[electricity crackling]

Is this what you wanted to show Peter?

Yes, if he ever gets here.

It's an ecto-aroma eliminator.

You know, that awful residue odor

that's left behind by manifestations of
class three and up?

The stink? Yeah, so?

Well, this gets rid of those odors.

Oh, sort of a "ghost room deodorizer?"

It'll be a while
before this prototype is ready.

It's still experimental, Peter.

It could be dangerous.

[Peter] OK, OK. Here I am.

I hope this is important.

Staff meetings always are.

Now, as I was telling Ray...

[Janine over speakers] Dr. Venkman.

Dr. Venkman,
you have a visitor in the lobby.

Sorry, guys, a paying customer.

Been nice seeing you.

We should do this more often.

Dr. Venkman, this is Mr. Fenderman.

He's here to see you.

Ghostbuster Fenderman
reporting for duty, sir.

Anything you want done?

He's serious, Peter.
He wants to apply for a job.

I see.

Step into my office, Mr. Fenderman.

What makes you want to be a Ghostbuster,

besides the wealth, the fame

and the chance to hobnob
with the upper crust,

on several different dimensional planes?

Because you guys are the best.

All the other kids think so.

Heck, everybody
in the whole city thinks so.

Look, Dr. Venkman,

I sort of told my friends
I already was a Ghostbuster.

They just made fun of me.

Can't you give me some kind of assignment?

Anything?

Just give me a chance. Please!

Hey, I'll do better than that.

Now, let's see. Where did I...[grunts]

Ah, here it is. This is it.

There you go, kid.

This badge makes you an official member

of the Ghostbusters Auxiliary.

Wow!

And now, the first benefit you receive
as a member of the Ghostbusters Auxiliary,

is a free guided tour of our headquarters.

And this is where
Dr. Stantz and Dr. Spengler

put together
most of our special equipment.

Some of it even makes
a rough kind of sense.

Do you think I could have an actual piece

of ghostbusting equipment?

Since I am an official
Auxiliary member and everything.

Well...

I guess so.

This should be OK.

Gee, thanks.

And this is how we get around, kid.

The Ecto-1.

It's great. Can I sit in it?

[Janine] Up and at 'em.

[alarm ringing]

[squeaking]

OK, kid.

Wanna come watch us bust a few ghosts?

What are we waiting for? Let's go!

Peter, are you sure this is a good idea?

Hey, it's OK.

Kenny's an official member
of the Ghostbusters Auxiliary.

[all] The what?

[siren blaring]

[Kenny] Whee!

[tires screeching]

[screaming]

Afternoon, pal.

Can you show us to the owner
of this dime store?

Hey, we have one at home.

Looks just like that.

I'm the owner of this gallery.
Vincent Van Swell.

Of course you are.

And a beautiful place it is, too.

These ghosts are ruining my opening,
a priceless display of imported crystals.

No problem, sir.

Power up, men.

Just be careful.

Anything you break comes off your bill.

Aim high, fellas!

You wait here. Protect the car.

Aw, gee.

Don't startle 'em.

Now!

[ghosts screaming]

Move 'em in.

[screaming continues]

[Peter] Slow. Careful.

[Egon] Got them.

Look out!

Yeah! [cackling]

I got it.

OK. So, nobody's perfect.

[grunts]

We'll never get a clear shot this way.

You're right. We'll have to surround it.

Ready? Aim...

[laughing]

Fire!

Look out!

What...

[laughing]

[screams]

Got him. Ray, get out the trap.

[screaming continues]

He's a nice kid, but...

Peter never should've brought him along.

This is too dangerous.

Look, don't knock it
when Peter starts acting human.

Yes, the lad did seem to bring out
a new side of Peter.

And he really did want to help.

Well, I suppose...

I told you to stay with the car.

You could've been k*lled.

Why didn't you do what you were told?

I...I'm sorry.

I guess I got too excited.

I didn't mean to do anything wrong.

Well, sorry isn't good enough.

Why don't you take
your flashlight and get lost?

Whoa, whoa, Peter, aren't you being
a little tough on the kid?

I mean, after all,
you did invite him along.

Yeah. It's not as if
we haven't ever done any damage before.

Ray...

Yes?

You're not helping.

[engine sputtering]

[sniffling]

[children playing]

Hmm.

Look, it's a Ghostbuster.

Help! Save me, Mr. Ghostbuster!

[screams and groans]

Go ahead and laugh, big mouth,

but I am a Ghostbuster.

I am!

[all laughing]

Look at this, wise guy.

It's my Ghostbusters Auxiliary pin.

It's official.

Hmm...

[reading]

[all laughing]

Official, huh?

An official dope.

What do you fight ghosts with?
This flashlight?

Oh, yeah?

Well, get a load of this.

[all] Huh?
[Kenny chuckles]

What is it, Kenny? What does it do?

It's top secret.

I can't tell you anything about it,

except it'll really put away ghosts.

Well, I don't believe you.

If you're really a Ghostbuster,
why don't you prove it?

Let's see you spend the night
in the old Hallowell place.

Whoa, you're not serious, Willy.

That place is haunted.

Old General Hallowell's ghost is in there.

[grunts] Go on.

He's an official Ghostbuster.

You're not afraid, are you, Fenderman?

No, uh...

'Course not.

All right, Fenderman,

in you go!

OK, OK. You don't have to push.

Peter...

Do you know where
the ecto-aroma eliminator is?

I can't find it.

I gave it to Kenny, as a souvenir.

I'm sorry to hear that, Peter.

It means the boy is in serious danger.

But it was just a little box.
What's the harm?

[Ray] Big booms can come
in small packages, Peter.

If that boy pushes the wrong button,
it could destroy an entire city block.

So, let me get this straight,

the isotope in the...
Whatever it is, is unstable.

Ecto-aroma eliminator. EAE.

Don't quibble, Egon.

You're the one about to
give a whole new meaning

to the word, "Boom-box."

The EAE starts out fine,

but as the ectoplasmic material
is absorbed

and the internal reaction builds,

it could overload and explode.

And once it's turned on,

it can't be stopped.

Could we track it with a Geiger counter?

It's possible, but the odds of finding it

in a city this size, before it blows...

It doesn't matter.

We've gotta try and find that kid.

If anything happens to him...

[tires squealing]

[Egon] This machine
just isn't sensitive enough.

You mean, you can't locate him?

Oh, we'll be able to find him certainly.

As soon as the device explodes,

we'll have no difficulty
in tracing the readings.

[Winston] Egon, sometime soon,
you and I must have a chat

about your sense of priorities.

[beeping]

OK, take that.

[clicks]

Maybe it would help if I turned it on.

[buzzes]

[beeping]

Class 4.

Must mean there's a Class 4 ghost here.

So that means
I set the Class knob to four.

Then, when I spot the ghost,
I hit the intake button

and it sucks them in.

I'll show 'em, that Willy Bradford.

I'll bust me a whole bunch of ghosts.

Then even Dr. Venkman will like me again.

[beeping]

Ah!

All right, you ghost. Come on out!

I'm a Ghostbuster
and I've got you cornered.

[growling]

[in a hoarse voice] Ghostbuster!

Ah.

Whoa!

[groaning]

Oh, yeah? Well, take this!

[clicking]

Winston, quick. Turn around.

Kenny must've turned on the EAE.

I'm picking up a radiation increase.

[tires screeching]

[grunts]

I'm getting very high readings.

[Peter] This has gotta be the place.

[tires screech]

[ghost] Ghostbuster!

Ah!

Kenny! You in here?

Dr. Venkman. Here I am. Up here!

Good! Stay there and be our lookout.

OK, men. Let's do some damage.

Well, we followed 'em in.

They must be here.

There they are! Get 'em!

[ghost] Ghostbuster.

Ghostbuster.

I don't like the sound of this.

As welcomes go, I've heard better,

warmer, more human.

One, two, three...

Fire!

How?

How did he know we were here?

Something's not right.

I better check this out in
Tobin's Spirit Guide.

This doesn't look good.

There's a single intelligence

directing the spirit activity
in this house.

You mean like a, uh, Ghost General?

So, it's simple.

Zap the commander
and the rest of the army is easy.

I'm afraid that's too dangerous, Peter.

With that much
psycho-kinetic energy at its command,

we could be in serious trouble.

It might be able
to blow off the containment unit.

But if a powerful enough
kinetic force could blow it apart

upon being trapped,

the conditions in the containment unit
would prevent it from reforming.

How powerful a force
would it take to splatter this thing?

Near atomic levels.

I have an idea.

Kenny, you still have that souvenir
I gave you?

Yeah, I've got it right here.

Well, hang on to it. We're gonna need it.

What do you have in mind?

Don't ask. You'll only worry.

Come on.

OK, guys. Careful now.

Stand by, Kenny. Hang in there.

[buzzing rapidly]

[growling]

Ghostbusters!

Fire!

Kenny, throw that gadget at the light!

Duck!

[ghost screams]

A brilliant plan, Peter.

The blast totally discorporated the thing.

[chuckles] I didn't know
you had it in you.

Hey, but I have to admit,
I couldn't have done it without Kenny.

So, Fenderman, you're still here.

Sure. In fact, we're just wrapping up.

Me and the guys just finished
trapping a bunch of ghosts.

Oh, yeah, sure, Fender-bender.

Hey, thanks for the help, Kenny.

Huh?

Yes, it was a good night's work.

No problem, guys. Glad to help.

-Whoa!
-Gosh!

Gee!

Why don't you come by
sometime next week, Kenny?

We'll have some fun.

You bet!

[cheering]

Great kid that Kenny, huh?

Mmm-hmm.

Hey, do you think you could
introduce me to them,

huh, Kenny?

We'll see.
