  • (Sigourney Weaver) "Bye, Louis."
  • (Rick Moranis) "Okay, so I'll see you later, huh? I'll give you a call. I'm going to go have a shower."
  • (Sigourney Weaver) ""Zuul was the minion of Gozer." What's Gozer?"
  • (Bill Murray) "Gozer was very big in Sumeria."
  • (Sigourney Weaver) "Well, what's he doing in my ice box?"
  • (Bill Murray) "I'm working on that."

  • (Bill Murray) "Is this a trick question?"
  • (Sigourney Weaver) "That's the bedroom, but nothing ever happened in there."

William Atherton as Walter Peck

  • (William Atherton) "Shut these off. Shut these all off."

  • (Harold Ramis) "YOUR MOTHER."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "Your honor, our system was working just fine until the power grid was turned off by wally wick here."
  • (William Atherton) "They caused an explosion."
  • (Mayor) "Is this true?"
  • (Bill Murray) "It's true, your honor. The man is some kind of rodent, I don't know which."

Harold Ramis as Dr. Egon Spengler

  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night?"
  • (Harold Ramis) "Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic?"
  • (Bill Murray) "Have you or your family ever seen a spook, spectre or ghost?"
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "If the answer is "yes," then don't wait another minute. Pick up the phone and call the professionals --"
  • (Bill Murray) "Ghostbusters."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "Our courteous and efficient staff is on call 24 hours a day to serve all your supernatural elimination needs."
  • (Bill Murray) "We're ready to believe you."
  • (Harold Ramis) "I feel like the floor of a taxi cab."
  • (Harold Ramis) "Venkman, shorten your stream. I don't want my face burned off."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "You know, it just occurred to me that we really haven't had a successful test of this equipment."
  • (Harold Ramis) "I blame myself."
  • (Bill Murray) "So do I."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "Well, no sense in worrying about it now."
  • (Bill Murray) "Why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back."

  • (Harold Ramis) "Good idea."
  • (Bill Murray) "Yeah -- we can do more damage that way."
  • (Harold Ramis) "I'm worried, Ray. It's getting crowded in there, and all my recent data points to something big on the horizon."
  • (Ernie Hudson) "What do you mean "big"?"
  • (Harold Ramis) "Well --"
  • (Harold Ramis) "-- let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning's sample, it would be a twinkie -- 35 feet long and weighing approximately 600 pounds."
  • (Ernie Hudson) "That's a big Twinkie."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "We could on the verge of a fourfold cross-reap. A P.K.E. surge of incredible, even dangerous proportions."
  • (Harold Ramis) "I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate."
  • (Bill Murray) "How?"
  • (Harold Ramis) "We'll cross the streams."
  • (Bill Murray) "'Scuse me Egon? You said crossing the streams was bad."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "Cross the streams --"
  • (Bill Murray) "You're gonna endanger us, you're gonna endanger our client; the nice lady, who paid us in advance, before she became a dog --"
  • (Harold Ramis) "Not necessarily. There's definitely a VERY SLIM chance we'll survive."

  • (Bill Murray) "Everybody getting this so far? So what? I guess they just don't make them like they used to."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "No."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "Nobody ever made them like this. The architect was either a certified genius, or an authentic wacko."
  • (Bill Murray) "Ray, for a moment, pretend that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "You never studied. The whole building is a huge superconductive antenna that was designed and built for the purpose of pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence. Your girlfriend lives in the corner penthouse of spook central."
  • (Bill Murray) "She's not my girlfriend. I find her interesting because she's a client and sleeps above her covers. Four feet above her covers. She barks, she drools, she claws --"
  • (Harold Ramis) "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."
  • (Harold Ramis) "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."
  • (Bill Murray) "Let me guess. Gozer worshipers."
  • (Harold Ramis) "Right."
  • (Bill Murray) "No studying --"
  • (Harold Ramis) "After the First World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive. He wasn't alone. He had close to a thousand followers when he died. They conducted rituals up on the roof, bizarre rituals intended to bring about the end of the world. And now it looks like it may actually happen."
  • (Bill Murray) "So be good, for goodness sake. Whoa -- somebody's coming."
  • (Harold Ramis) "Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?"
  • (Rick Moranis) "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."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "It's a girl."
  • (Harold Ramis) "It's Gozer."
  • (Ernie Hudson) "I thought Gozer was a man."
  • (Harold Ramis) "It's whatever it wants to be."
  • (Bill Murray) "Well, whatever it is, it's gotta get by us."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "Right."
  • (Bill Murray) "Go get her, Ray."
  • (Harold Ramis) "Oh good, you're here."
  • (Bill Murray) "Yeah, what have you got?"
  • (Harold Ramis) "This is big, Peter, this is very big. There is definitely something here."
  • (Bill Murray) "Egon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head. Remember that?"
  • (Harold Ramis) "That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me."
  • (Harold Ramis) "I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways, we could reverse the polarity flow through the gate."
  • (Bill Murray) "How?"
  • (Harold Ramis) "We'll cross the streams."
  • (Bill Murray) "'Scuse me Egon? You said crossing the streams was bad."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "Cross the streams --"
  • (Bill Murray) "You're gonna endanger us, you're gonna endanger our client; the nice lady, WHO PAID US IN ADVANCE, before she became a dog --"
  • (Harold Ramis) "Not necessarily. There's definitely a VERY SLIM chance we'll survive."
  • (Bill Murray) "I love this plan. I'm excited it could work. LET'S DO IT."

Slavitza Jovan as Gozer

  • (Bill Murray) "Did YOU?"
  • (Ernie Hudson) "My mind is totally blank."
  • (Bill Murray) "I didn't choose anything --"
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "I couldn't help it. It just popped in there."
  • (Bill Murray) "What? WHAT "just popped in there?""

  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "No."
  • (Slavitza Jovan) "Then -- DIE."
  • (Ernie Hudson) "Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"."
  • (Bill Murray) "All right. This chick is TOAST."

Michael Ensign as Hotel Manager

  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "We got it."
  • (Michael Ensign) "What is it? Will there be any more of them?"
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "Sir, what you had there is what we refer to as a focused, non-terminal, repeating phantasm or a class-five full-roaming vapor. A real nasty one, too."
  • (Bill Murray) "And now --"
  • (Bill Murray) "-- let's talk seriously. Now, for the entrapment, we're gonna have to ask you --"
  • (Bill Murray) "-- for four big ones, Four thousand dollars for that. But we are having a special this week on proton charging and storage of the beast --"
  • (Bill Murray) "-- and that's only gonna come to one thousand dollars, fortunately."
  • (Michael Ensign) "Five thousand dollars? I had no idea it'd be so much. I won't pay it."
  • (Bill Murray) "Well, that's all right. We can just put it right back in there. Thank you."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "We certainly can, Dr. Venkman."
  • (Michael Ensign) "No, no, NO. All right. Anything."
  • (Bill Murray) "Thanks so much."
  • (Dr. Raymond Stantz) "Thank you. Hope we can help you again."
