Ghostbusters Page #8
SANGER". Behold the power of the undead!
We have summoned Satan himself!
For we are the kings of all...
- Let's do this!
- Go, go.
This auditorium is Art Deco, you idiots!
Aim for the ghost!
Hey, Patty, you take that aisle.
I'll take the far one.
Okay, I need y'all to get out the way!
We need to get up those aisles!
All right, move, people!
I need to get down that aisle!
If you're not gonna move,
you're gonna become part of this operation!
All right, heads up!
Come on! Move me left!
Oh! Ooh! Watch the rings.
Watch the rings.
Okay, you sweaty freaks.
I'm 'bout to save you from this ghost!
Ooh.
Okay, so I don't know if it was a race thing
or a lady thing, but I'm mad as hell.
- Pick me up!
- All right, put me down!
Put me down! Down, down, thank you.
Okay, Patty, stay still!
- You have sort of a...
- Okay, I just...
I don't need you to tell me
anything right now.
- No, no, no... You got a...
- Nope.
I really need you not to tell me
anything right now.
- But, Patty, there...
- Hey. I'm tired.
- No, no, no...
- Listen...
I'm just gonna go ahead and take off,
how about that?
No,no,no,
I don't really think that's a good idea.
- Going to take off...
- Come on, Patty. Patty!
And I don't want to piss off the ghost.
Moving, going back to my booth at the MTA,
so let me know if you need some MetroCards.
- Do it, do it, do it.
- 'Cause I am...
Really?
All right, ladies, light 'em up!
Patty, stay still.
Just don't hit Patty anywhere important.
- What?
- Nothing!
Oh, you gonna get it now!
Erin, I forgot to tell you, don't let your beam
get entangled with my beam.
- What? Why?
- It's too much power.
It would cause a counter reaction.
The beam would shoot back into your body,
and each atom will implode.
- What!
- Holtz, open that trap!
HOLTZMANN'. Okay.
And I'm gonna open it on three.
- Holtzmann!
- Ready?
Sweetie!
Two...
- Open the box!
- And one. Okay!
Erin, doing great. Abby, doing great.
Patty, try a little harder, okay?
Get in the box, you hellion!
Come on, we got you!
Come on.
Whew!
Excuse me, gotta get...
Excuse me, excuse me.
I got a ghost to get. Thank you.
Did we just catch a ghost?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We put a ghost in a box!
You want some more,
you want some more?
Yes!
What you're looking for
You want some more...
Right in there!
We are the Beasts of Mayhem! Huh!
Sorry, can't buy you another one.
Yeah!
Wankers! Black Sabbath did that sh*t in '74.
Ghostbusters! Ghostbusters!
- My gosh.
- Thanks so much.
Why are there ghosts in New York?
We made magic today,
and that's all I got to say. I'm Holtzmann.
Where are these ghosts coming from?
Are there any more ghosts
inside the theater?
I think we took it out.
Listen, we're scientists.
We're here for the unanswerable questions
and, really, to pursue truth.
We're the Ghostbusters!
Yeah!
Nope. I had him yesterday.
So?
So, it's your turn.
Weirdo city.
Charge the lines.
Create the vortex.
Break the barrier.
Enjoy your fun, Ghostbusters.
For soon, you shall bow down before me.
Whoo! Y'all gon' make me
lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool...
There he is.
Come on, Kevin. Let's go.
Uh-oh, Kev.
Go, Kev.
Go, Kev. Go, Kev.
Go, Kev.
- Ah.
- Uh-oh, Kev. Stop, Kev.
- Watch it!
- Stop, Kev.
- Watch it.
- Stop it, Kevin.
You ain't rapped long enough
to be foolin' with me
And you?
You ain't strong enough
So whatever it is
you puffin' on
That got you thinkin'
that you Superman...
Oh, please.
Get it. Get it.
This is so good. We have to celebrate.
- Come on! This is what...
- You're right, you're right.
- Yep.
- ...legit feels like.
- Right here. This.
- Yep.
Oh, my God.
You have to stop kissing this.
That... It just makes me feel
so warm and tingly inside.
That's probably the radiation.
Hey, guys, I got some pretty cool stuff
cooking up over here,
if you want to just turn your head.
I got some newly printed circuit boards,
and I rebuilt the superconducting magnets.
I improved beam accuracy
to the RF discharge chamber.
I have cryocooler to reduce helium boil-off,
and to top it all off,
we got a freakin' Faraday cage
to attenuate RF noise and avoid quenching.
- Nice!
- All right!
There's a Smartin Christ here to see you.
Smartin Christ?
Wait, are you saying "Martin Heiss"?
- Doctor...
- No. No.
Dr. Martin Heiss, the famed scientist
and paranormal debunker?
- He's in this building right now?
- Yeah, that guy.
Okay, you tell him that we're not here.
- Wait, what? What?
- I don't want to talk to him.
They're not here.
On...
Dr. Heiss, hello. Welcome. Dr. Erin Gilbert.
Is this a good time, Doctor,
or is this dinner rush?
Why don't you call
and make an appointment?
It's actually a perfect time.
We were just
doing some experiments over here.
Ah.
Yes, please, have a seat.
Let's start light and easy.
Why are you pretending to catch ghosts?
You know, it's really easy
to just sit there and be the naysayer,
when you don't actually do anything.
You know that we only comprehend
about 4% of the universe.
4%!
- Across the board! It's four!
- Abby, Abby...
We all believe in the scientific method.
I've dedicated my life to it.
And we have actually done it.
Today, at 4:
32 p.m.,we successfully trapped a Class 3 vapor.
You're telling me
there is a ghost
inside that thermos?
- In that can?
- Don't touch it. Don't touch it.
Booyah. Emphasis on the "boo."
Well, I would love to see that. I really would.
Shoot. You know what?
You're not gonna get that treat today.
We're still assessing what type
of containment method we're gonna use.
We're testing the lab... In the...
So, till we figure out
how to best keep the entity,
that's not gonna happen.
How's that for my timing?
I come.
You've caught a ghost. I can't see it.
Look, I know it probably
sounds like we're making this up.
- Yeah.
- It sounds crazy,
and we probably don't really look like
legitimate scientists.
No, you only lack the proper equipment,
like a garbage truck
to hang on to the back of.
Said the guy with
the walking stick and the floppy hat.
It was my mother's.
Yeah, that is an awesome hat.
All right, man.
Thanks for stopping by.
Well, I guess the graciousness has run out.
You want to see it?
I would love to see it.
Well, he can't see it.
I'm going to show it to you, then.
How about that?
- Gear up, you guys.
- No, you're not. Don't.
Excuse me. Why are you doing this?
Because he doesn't believe us.
Erin. Come on,
we have finally succeeded
at doing the thing that we have talked about
since we were little kids.
And you want to risk it all, what, for him?
Oh, golly, you two are something.
You're right. I'm sorry.
- I don't...
- Okay.
- I don't know what I was thinking.
- All right.
It's okay.
Attagirl!
Sorry. I did it. I'm sorry.
