• Hotel Manager : [snaps his finger]  Mr. Smith, quickly. I want that door open NOW!

  [points at the guy] 

  Hotel Manager : Donald, stand over there.

  Dr. Peter Venkman : [after capturing Slimer]  We came, we saw, we kicked its ass.

  Hotel Manager : Did you see it? What is it?

  Dr. Raymond Stantz : [holding ghost trap like a rat by the tail]  We got it.

  Hotel Manager : 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.

  Dr. Peter Venkman : And now...

  [Peter clears his throat] 

  Dr. Peter Venkman : ... let's talk seriously. Now, for the entrapment, we're gonna have to ask you...

  [Egon holds up four fingers] 

  Dr. Peter Venkman : ... 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...

  [Egon holds up one finger] 

  Dr. Peter Venkman : ... and that's only gonna come to one thousand dollars, fortunately.

  Hotel Manager : Five thousand dollars? I had no idea it'd be so much. I won't pay it.

  Dr. Peter Venkman : Well, that's all right. We can just put it right back in there. Thank you.

  Dr. Raymond Stantz : We certainly can, Dr. Venkman.

  [Ray turns back toward the ballroom] 

  Hotel Manager : [stopping Ray]  No, no, NO! All right. Anything.

  Dr. Peter Venkman : [handing the manager a check]  Thanks so much.

  Dr. Raymond Stantz : Thank you. Hope we can help you again.

  [as he, Peter and Egon leave the hotel, Ray calls out to the witnesses] 

  Dr. Raymond Stantz : Coming through! One class-five full-roaming vapor. Move 'em out.

• Dr. Peter Venkman : [after capturing Slimer]  We came, we saw, we've kick its ass.

  Hotel Manager : You've seen it? What was it?

  Dr. Raymond Stantz : We've got it.

  [Holds up the smoking ghost trap] 

  Dr. Raymond Stantz : Sir, what we have here is what we call a non-repeating phantasm, or a class-5 free roaming vapor, real nasty one too.

  Dr. Peter Venkman : Okay.

  [Clears throat] 

  Dr. Peter Venkman : Let's talk serious, for the entrapment, we're gonna ask you for 4 big ones $4,000 for that, but we are having a special this week on proton charging, and storage of the beast, so we are gonna ask for $1,000 fortunate.

  Hotel Manager : $5,000 I had no idea it would be so much, I won't pay it.

  Dr. Peter Venkman : Oh, that's okay we can just put it right back in there.

  Dr. Raymond Stantz : We most certainly can, Dr. Venkman

  Hotel Manager : [Stops Ray]  No, no, NO! Anything.

  [Peter hands the manager a check] 

  Dr. Raymond Stantz : Thank you. We hope that we can help you again.

• [the Ghostbusters arrive at the Sedgewick Hotel in Ecto-1, fully decked out in uniform and gear] 

  Dr. Peter Venkman : [entering the main lobby]  HEY, ANYBODY SEEN A GHOST?

  [a pretty lady goes by. They all stare appreciatively. The Hotel Manager comes running up behind them] 

  Hotel Manager : Thank you for coming so quickly!

  Dr. Peter Venkman : [startled]  JESUS!

  Hotel Manager : The guests are starting to ask questions and I'm running out of excuses.

  Dr. Raymond Stantz : Has it happened before?

  Hotel Manager : Well, most of the original staff knows about the twelfth floor; the disturbances, I mean. But it's been quiet for years! Up until two weeks ago. It was never, ever this bad, though!

  Dr. Egon Spengler : Did you ever report it to anyone?

  Hotel Manager : Heavens, no!

  Dr. Peter Venkman : Oh, no. You kidding?

  Hotel Manager : The owners don't even like us to talk about it. I hope we can take care of this. Quietly! Tonight!

  Dr. Raymond Stantz : Yes sir, don't worry. We handle this kind of thing all the time!
