[Egon is running tests on Louis, who has been possessed by Gozer and is now the Keymaster] Dr. Egon Spengler: 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!

Rivers and seas boiling. Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes... Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave.

[Inspecting Dana's refrigerator for paranormal activity] Dr. Peter Venkman: Oh my God. Look at all the junk food. Dana Barrett: No. No, Dammit. Look this wasn't here... Dr. Peter Venkman: You actually eat this? Dana Barrett: No, this wasn't here. There was nothing here. There was this... space, with a building or something with flames coming out of it, and there were creatures writhing around it, and they were growling and snarling. And there were flames, and I heard a voice say "Zuul" I mean it was right here. Dr. Peter Venkman: Well I'm sorry, I'm just not getting any reading. Dana Barrett: Well are you sure you're using that thing correctly? Dr. Peter Venkman: Yeah, Its not... I mean I think so, but Im sure there are no animals in there. Dana Barrett: This is great. Either I have a monster in my kitchen or I'm completely crazy. Dr. Peter Venkman: [smiles] I don't think you're crazy. Dana Barrett: [sarcastically] Oh good, that makes me feel so much better.

[evaluating a site for their business] Dr. Peter Venkman: What do you think, Egon? Dr. Egon Spengler: I think this building should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members, the wiring is substandard, it's completely inadequate for our power needs, and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone. Dr Ray Stantz: Hey. Does this pole still work? [slides down a fireman's pole] Dr Ray Stantz: Wow. This place is great. When can we move in? You gotta try this pole. I'm gonna get my stuff. Hey.

Librarian Alice: My uncle thought he was Saint Jerome. Dr. Peter Venkman: I'd call that a big yes. Uh, are you habitually using drugs? Stimulants? Alcohol? Librarian Alice: No. Dr. Peter Venkman: No, no. Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now? Man at Library: What's has that got to do with it? Dr. Peter Venkman: Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

Dr. Peter Venkman: This chick is *toast*.
43
Dr. Peter Venkman: Egon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head. Remember that? Dr. Egon Spengler: That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.
44
Dr Ray Stantz: Well, this is great. If the ionization-rate is constant for all ectoplasmic entities, we can really bust some heads... in a spiritual sense of course.
45
Dean Yeager: This university will no longer continue any funding of any kind for your group's activities. Dr. Peter Venkman: But the kids love us.

Walter Peck: And where do you put these ghosts, once you catch them? Dr. Peter Venkman: Into a storage facility. Walter Peck: And would this storage facility be located on these premises? Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes. Walter Peck: And may I see this storage facility? Dr. Peter Venkman: No. Walter Peck: And why not, Mr. Venkman? Dr. Peter Venkman: Because you did not use the magic word. Walter Peck: What is the magic word, Mr. Venkman? Dr. Peter Venkman: [looking surprised] Please! Walter Peck: May I *please* see the storage facility, Mr. Venkman? Dr. Peter Venkman: Why do you want to see the storage facility? Walter Peck: Because I'm curious. I wanna know more about what you do here! Frankly, I've heard alot of wild stories in the media and we want to assess any possibility of dangerous and possibly hazardous waste chemicals in your basement. [Peck is angered] Walter Peck: Now you either *show me* what is down there, or I come back with a court order.
