[announcer] [on radio]
Hey, this is Rick Martin at the Hot spot

on your radio WYKBZ, 240 on your dial.

Tonight is something really special

because old Mama Moon
is gonna be a part of a rare alignment

of stars and planets,

something they say only occurs
once every 300 years.

Sounds like my love life.
[laughing] Just kidding.

[rattling]

[giggling]

[shrieking]

[continues giggling]

[groaning]

Hey! Shut up down there!

[giggling]

[screaming]

[screaming]

Huh?

[crying]

[both growling]

[baby ghost] Dada! Dada!

[baby ghost crying]

Hmm. Highly unusual.

I've never seen this exact effect on
a lunar eclipse before.

[crackling]

[Ray snoring]

[snoring]

[yelling]

[Peter groans]

I've been slimed again!

Slimer, why weren't you in your own bed?

[muttering]

You were scared because
your night light burned down.

[agreeing]

[telephone ringing]

[yawning] Ghostbusters Central.

[yawns]

Right! On our way.

We got one, guys!

[siren wailing]

[yells]

[growls]

[gasps]

[screaming]

Wow, this is really
a primal haunting, huh, guys?

[yawns] Yeah, I'd much rather be here
than in my nice warm bed.

[muttering]

[Winston] What the heck are
those ghost up to anyway?

Difficult to say.

This behavior is definitely
not normal paranormal.

But with the moon
and it's present alignment,

anything is possible.

Glad you cleared that up, Egon.

[proton pack powering up]

Come on, let's bag 'em and go home.

Yeah! [muttering]

[both growling]

Heads up.

Well, at least those ghosts are gone.

But not forgotten.

[Ray] I wonder what
they were so mad about.

Hey, where's Slimer?

[Slimer exclaiming]

Hello.

Oh, Slimer, not again.

Party's over, folks. Let's go home.

[whistling] Yeah, come on.

[tires screeching]

[exclaiming]

[yawns] Once we get home,
I'm gonna sleep like a baby.

I heard that.

[baby ghost crying]

Uh, now what?

Beats me.
She was working fine a minute ago.

[gasps and groans]

Ow!

Winston, what's the...Ghost!

[proton g*n powers up]

[exclaiming] No, no, no, don't sh**t.

Slimer, move!

[crying]

[burps]

[laughs] Ghost kid.

Well, what do you know, a little spudette.

I'd never seen such a young ghost before.

I wonder where she came from.

There's a high probability

she was fleeing those hostile Class 5s

and sought refuge in our vehicle.

You mean those big ghosts
were chasing her so she hid in here.

[Egon] It's only a theory, but yes.

[Winston] We better take
her home for safe keeping

until we nab those mean dudes.

[Peter] Good idea, Winston.

Slimer, since you did such a good job
of protecting the spudette,

you're in charge of watching her, OK?

You bet I am.

[Janine] Oh. [laughing]
She's absolutely adorable.

You are just the sweetest
itty-bitty thing I've ever seen.

Yes, you are.

Coochie-coochie-coo.

[muttering]

[Ray] Bet you're hungry, huh?

Yeah. [muttering] Cookie.

Open wide.

Huh!

Oh, yum!

Oh, boy!

[Janine] Uh-uh, Slimer, you have to share.

She's just a little baby, remember?

Oh, bummer.

[burps]

Aw, what a little doll.

[all speaking indistinctly] Sweetheart.

Oh, I wonder what her name is.

I think we should name her Spookums.

[all] Spookums?

What kinda name is that?

My, um...[clears throat]

Mother used to call me Spookums.

[ringing]

Ghostbusters Central.

Uh-huh.

Got it.

Those two ghosts are at it again, guys.

Attacking a car wash in Brooklyn.

For an extra buck
maybe we oughta hot wax 'em.

-[Ray] Come on, let's get 'em.
-[Slimer] All right. Let's go.

-[Peter] All right, come on, let's move.
-[Egon] Let's do it.

[Janine] Slimer, wait.

Who, me?

I need you to stay and watch Spookums

while I run an equipment check downstairs.

-[car engine staring]
-[giggling]

-[muttering]
-[siren wailing]

Come on!

Oh.

[giggling]

-Oh!
-[objects clattering]

Whoa! [screaming]

[gasps]

[groaning]

[struggling]

Slimer!

[yelling]

Oh, my gosh.

Slimer, what have you done?

Me?

Uh-uh.

Her.

Oh, quit trying to blame Spookums.

She's just a baby.

Come on, Spookums, come to Auntie Janine.

Did that big old Slimer scare you?

[whimpers]

Who, me? Hmph!

[laughing]

Will some ice cream and cake
make you feel better?

Uh-huh.

Huh?

Slimer, you can start
cleaning up this mess.

Oh.

[blows raspberry]

Ah! Ghosts! Ghosts!

OK, you big turkeys,
this is for chasing Spookums.

[both growling]

[Peter] Just like a ghost,
always have their minds in the gutter.

Come on out and fight like a ghost.

Hey, there they are.

Hands off our Ecto.

[both growling]

There they go and here we are
looking like chumps again.

[man] You guys call
yourselves Ghostbusters?

Instead of catching the ghosts,

you scared away all my customers

I could have done that myself.

Uh-oh, guys, we got big problems.

[metal creaks]

[Slimer] Spookums.

Spookums.

[muttering]

Boo!

[screaming]

[glass shattering]

[giggling]

[gasps] Slimer?

Slimer! You should be ashamed!

Me?

Yes, you!

The minute my back is turned you pig out.

Look at the mess you made.

Not me. Her!

What? [crying]

Oh, Slimer, now you've scared her.

There, there, Spookums,
there's nothing to be afraid of.

Oh!

[Egon] This is really embarrassing, guys.

Just hope we don't see anyone we know.

Or anyone we don't know.

[people clamoring]

-Driver, stop right here.
-[brakes squeal]

Well, look who's back.

[man] Help!

[both growling]

Yee-haw! Got 'em this time.

Trap open.

Bingo!

[crowd cheering]

Man, listen to that.

Yeah, nothing like the thrill of victory.

No, I mean that.

[Peter] Or the agony of defeat.

-Come on, let's get out of here.
-All right.

[snoring]

[Spookums] Wee. [laughing]

[muttering]

Wee!

Huh? [yells]

[whistling]

[giggling]

[shushing]

[shushing]

[sighs] Oh, boy.

[air whooshing]

[exclaiming]

Huh.

No!

[muttering]

Now. [muttering]

Baby.

[crying]

Bye-bye.

[beeping]

[footsteps approaching]

Are you guys all right?

Yeah, but we do have one casualty.

Oh, no! Not Egon!

Hmm, the damage isn't
as expensive as I thought.

Egon! [sighs] Oh, you're all right.

Of course.

Ecto has only minor damage, Winston.

We can have her back
on the road in no time.

Hey, great new, Egon.

Oh, boys and their toys.

But we nabbed those ghosts, see.

[muffled growling]

Somehow that wailing
sounds vaguely familiar.

Hmm, that sounds like...

[growling]

Spookums' Mama and Dada.

The ghosts in there are Spookums' parents?

Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Of course.
That's why they sound so familiar.

[growling]

Oh, poor little Spookums.

We can't lock up her mom and dad.

Well, we can't let them out again, either.

We have to.

They're still a family
even if they are ghosts.

I hate to admit it, Ray, but you're right.

Slimer, go get Spookums.

You said it!

OK, guys, get ready.

We're gonna let them out nice and easy.

[gasps] Spookums.

Oh, Spookums!

Oh, where'd she go?

Just relax now, folks,
your little Spookums is coming.

Everything's gonna be OK.

[sobbing]

We know that you were
just looking for your baby.

We found her and she's safe and sound.

We'll give you Spookums back
and you can go home.

-[Egon] Not quite, Ray.
-[P.K.E meter beeping]

My reading tell me
their home is in another dimension.

Somehow opened by the eclipse of the moon.

And the eclipse is almost over.

Unless we find that
opening before it ends,

they'll be trapped here forever.

Hmm.

Spookums gone!

-Spookums gone!
-[all gasp]

[sobbing]

[growling]

[screaming]

[Peter groans]

Peter.

This is really great.

Now we've got three missing ghosts.

Oh, she...

Egon, you and Winston
start looking for that dimensional crack.

Right, there's no time to lose.

-Taxi!
-[brakes squeal]

Slimer, you stay here in case
Spookums comes back.

Ray, let's roll!

Oh, no!

Mmmm!

Janine, we have to borrow your car.

OK, but please be careful.

Oh, don't worry,
we'll treat it like our own.

[tires screeching]

Hmm, that's what worries me.

Spookums!

[bin rattling]

Spookums!

[Spookums crying]

[continues crying]

Oh! Oh, Spookums!

[gasps]

Ah, no, no, no.

Spookums...[muttering] Mama and Daddy.

Dada? Mama?

Uh-huh. Mama, Dada.

Dada!

[Spookums] Dada!

Dada!

[conversing indistinctly]

[Spookums] Mama!

That way!

[tires screeching]

I'm getting some strong readings, Winston.

That dimensional crack must be close.

[panting] how much time?

By the looks of the moon, not much.

[chuckling]

Dada! Dada!

Oh.

[car engine revving]

[car brakes squealing]

I don't believe it.

Oh, Ghostbusters!

Yay! [muttering] Mama and Daddy.

Aw, kinda makes you feel
warm all over, huh, Peter?

[chuckling] Yeah. Warm and slimy

[beeping]

-Yo, Winston.
-[Winston] Good news, guys.

We found the dimensional crack.

Not far from Times Square.

But hurry, it's closing fast.

[Ray] Right, on our way, Winston.

[tires screeching]

[Winston and Egon grunting]

Here they come.

[Slimer screaming]

Hurry it up, guys!
Move, move!

[grunting]

One down.

Two down.

Three down...Hmm?

Slimer.

-Huh?
-Bye-bye, Slimer.

-Bye-bye.
-Bye-bye, Spookums. [sniffling]

[growling]

[Egon] Come on, come on, hurry, Spookums.

[Winston] Let's go, come on.

-[Egon] In here!
-[Winston] Get through that.

Bye-bye.

-[metal clanging]
-[both screaming]

[Slimer gasps]

Well, it wasn't easy.

But it's sure nice to see that family
back together again.

Yeah, and it took a lot of Ghostbusters
teamwork to make that happen.

[Peter] Roger that, Ray.

Let's see a little skin, guys.

[Winston] All right.

-Oh, yuck.
-Ugh!

-Oh, come on.
-Disgusting!

Oh, did somebody sneeze?

Me!

[all exclaiming in disgust]

[Peter] Oh, come on.
