- Lucien: Voila, the true, 'orrible story, my friends. We must accept the evidence: the Eiffel Tower is 'aunted! It is a national catastrphe. Tourists are staying away in droves. France is on its knees. Oh, I beg you, Messieurs, we will pay anything!
- Peter Venkman: Ray, there are some things more important than TV.
- Ray Stantz: Name two.
- Peter Venkman: That's not fair.
- Lucien: I do not understand, for two days we have gone everywhere but the Eiffel Tower.
- Peter Venkman: It's all part of our plan. You can't just bust into an operation like this without doing a little recon first.
- Egon Spengler: As incredible as it may seem, it would appear that Monsieur Eiffel had already developed the principles of modern ecto-plasmic entrapment by the late 1880s...
- Peter Venkman: You mean... the guy was a Ghostbuster?
- Egon Spengler: Yes. He built this tower as a primitive, but efficient, type of Ghost Containment Unit. The ghosts are automatically attracted to, and trapped within the tower's very structure.
- Ray Stantz: Wow, that's what caused it to absorb our particle beams. I was right! This is fascinating! What a wonderful opportunity!
- Peter Venkman: [unenthusiastic] Yeah... and aren't we all just having a wonderful time...
