Ghostbusters Page #5

you should really wait downstairs.

On!

This... The magazine was here,

so, I don't know,

I just thought that might be

your waiting room.

You know, fun fact about this place,

that this building is built in the same place

as the first Chinese gambling den

in New York. Did you know that?

I mean, it's, like, coincidence, huh?

Also, um, I got chased by a ghost.

What?

You know, up above us

was the old New York prison.

It's the first place in New York

that they electrocuted people.

I'm telling you, it used to take so long

that they'd just be like, "Shoot him.

We using too much electricity."

That's why I knew something weird

was going on down here, man.

Whoa. Did you see that?

- Yes. I saw that.

- Did you see that?

- That wasn't me.

- I saw that quite a bit.

Wait, wait. Hey! Seriously? For real?

'Ey. Come on, man.

- Didn't I tell you?

- Is he down here all the time?

Oh, he think this is his art studio.

No, no. My studio is in SoHo.

This is more of a gallery.

Okay, hello there.

Uh, have you seen a Class 4, semi-anchored

entity anywhere in the vicinity?

- You talking like a boat?

- Can you speak English?

- I'm being specifically clear.

- Let me. Let me.

Hi. Have you seen a ghost down here?

- Okay, that's clearer.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I've seen a ghost.

- You, too?

Oh, yeah.

Would you be able to describe it to us?

- Thank you.

- But

Ah, come on, man. Come on, man.

No, no, no, no. Let him, let him...

- I'll take a visual.

- No! I can't let him.

This is my job. I'm gonna get fired!

- We want the visual!

- No, no, this is very helpful.

This is not helpful for me.

'Ey. Look at me. Stop.

- Stop painting.

- I'm so sorry.

I don't like this on my wall.

You don't want it here anymore?

- I don't want this ghost on my wall.

- No ghost.

- Let me fix this, then.

- Well, I...

No ghosts allowed.

- You know what? You know what?

- Right?

- Get your ass up out of here.

- Come on.

Bye. Patty!

- I love you.

- Man!

This ain't art!

And y'all encouraging him.

Come on!

Come on!

Am I on crack, or is that a good logo?

Guys, I cannot do it by myself.

This equipment is untested

and highly unstable.

All right, ladies,

we got a limited window

for when the next train arrives,

I'm telling you.

And don't touch the third rail

unless y'all little dainty ass

can handle 750 volts.

- Oh, come on.

- You know what?

I should've gave you some coveralls, man.

It's so unsanitary down here.

You know, you don't usually think

about the amount of urine smell.

That's pretty much how it's gonna be.

It's not gonna freshen up at all.

Oh, boy. Okay.

Definitely got something over here.

Look at... Is that...

What is that, a burn?

That's where I saw that weird sparking thing.

What was it?

Baby, if I knew what it was,

I wouldn't say "a weird sparking thing."

You're mouthy. I like that.

It looks like fission scorch.

What? Fission scorch down here?

Except that you're right.

What is... Wait, I'm smelling

both electrical discharge

- ...and isotopic decay.

- Isotopic decay.

How is that... Holtzmann?

- Yeah. What?

- Come here. I need your snoot on this.

Am I nuts?

'Ey, 'ey, ladies.

While y'all over there making out

with that dirty piece of garbage,

...we only got a couple of minutes.

Do you see that?

- The eyes.

- All right, Holtzmann.

- Now is not the time to be messing with...

- No.

Oh, cream and sugar.

Hey, Patty, can I get some

illumination on this subject?

Yeah, I can put some light on that.

'Oh, boy!

"Oh!

That is more and more unsettling.

That's the dude I saw!

I'm telling you, that's him!

We got another Class 4,

and this one's even more ionized

than the one at the Aldridge Mansion.

Where are these ghosts coming from?

You know what?

I got to get this thing on film.

- Holtzmann?

- Yup.

- Power us up.

- Okay.

'Cause we are taking this pretty boy

back to the lab.

This is a little rough.

It's in its early stages. Got to be honest.

Just gonna plug these things in here.

- Okay, Erin, come here.

- Let me document this.

- Grab it, grab it.

- Wait.

That's gonna shoot a proton stream

at that ghost, okay?

So whenever I say, "Go," you just do that.

Uh, why am I operating

the untested nuclear laser?

- You have the longest arms.

- Oh.

You guys might want to hurry up.

Oh, my God. I forgot the most important part.

Yeah. Sorry.

Erin, this is just a little bit of grounding

so you don't die immediately.

Do you know your iron level?

Mmm-mmm.

It's fine.

You have done this before, right?

Okay, Erin, on my cue.

Aim the barrel at him.

Ready, aim, fire!

Oh!

Oh, wah-wah.

Okay, this is a little underwhelming.

Can we get more power?

And once again, fire!

- This isn't working!

- Wow!

Can this beam get any stronger?

Well, not at the moment.

Ah.

That's the train! We got to move!

Just try to lure him

back to the platform!

Grab her!

- Come on!

- Move, move, move!

Come on, move!

Hurry!

That's the express train!

And it's not stopping!

It's coming! Get her up!

Oh, not the collar!

Well, I guess he going to Queens.

He's gonna be the third

scariest thing on that train.

God, did you see that?

Oh, you can't see anything.

My God! I mean,

that power surge really held him.

Wow! We need more juice.

We need to be more mobile.

I know what to do.

- Yes.

- I almost got killed.

Yeah, I know. It was so awesome.

It was awesome.

Everyone thinks this video is fake.

Look at these comments.

We have to bring a ghost back to this lab

and document it, you guys.

I mean, this stuff is real.

We have to be able to prove it.

We will. And you shouldn't

be reading this stuff.

You're not supposed to listen

to what crazy people write

in the middle of the night online.

Look at...

"Bogus equipment"? You know what?

I'd love you to meet me any place, any time.

No, no, no, let's... You're right. We should...

- Here is your coffee, Abby.

- Thank you.

Did you get sugar in it this time?

Uh...

I hate coffee.

- Yeah, the sugar's in there.

- Sugar's in it.

I'll take it.

Don't want to waste a cup of coffee.

Can we just pretend

that didn't happen, please?

All right, well, what do you think?

L... You know what? I just can't watch that.

I'm not sure. I mean,

it's just a lot of bits and pieces.

I'm pretty sure none of it is

supposed to be in the subway, though.

It's like it was part of a miniature cyclotron.

And they used

a chromium alloy for the hull.

I would've used aluminum, but I'm crazy.

What's that weird thing that guy said

to the lady from the subway?

Um... Oh, I know what you're talking about.

Fourth Cataclysm. Yeah.

Oh.

- Hi.

- Fourth Cataclysm.

Man, what they gonna do,

make a fifth one, starring The Rock?

Oh, yeah, you guys, you have a visitor.

Um, she's here to see you in the booth.

Booth number one. With the earrings.

- Yeah.

- Yeah. We see her now.

- Thanks.

- No worries.

I'm joining the club.

Um... Well, it's not really a... I'm sorry.

Kevin. Hi, can you answer the phone, please?
