Ghostbusters Page #11

PETER:

Nice thinking, Ray.

RAY:

We used to roast Stay-Puft marshmallows, by the fire at Camp Waconda!

PETER:

Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon. What have you got left?

EGON:

Sorry, Venkman. I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man growls at them.

WINSTON:

Oh, no.

PETER:

Mother pus-bucket!

Outside Shandor Building

PECK keeps his distance from the marshmallow man. It stomps on a church.

Temple of Zuul

PETER:

Nobody steps on a church in my town!

RAY:

One, two, three! Roast him!

They blast Mr. Stay-Puft. It puts him on fire which soars up to them. He climbs up the side of the building.

PETER:

Whoa...

they run and hide

RAY:

Funny, us going out like this. Killed by a hundred-foot marshmallow man.

PETER:

We've been going about this all wrong! This Mr. Stay-Puft isn't so bad. He's a sailor, he's in New York; we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble!

marshmallow man continues scaling up the side of building

EGON:

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways. We could reverse the particle flow through the gate.

PETER:

How?

EGON:

We'll cross the streams.

PETER:

Excuse me, Egon, you said crossing the streams was bad.

RAY:

Cross the streams...

PETER:

You're gonna endanger us, you're gonna endanger our client. The nice lady who paid us in advance before she became a dog.

EGON:

Not necessarily. There's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive.

PETER:

giving RAY a friendly slap

I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it. Let's do it!

WINSTON:

This job is definitely not worth eleven-five a year!

they run to the temple just as Mr. Stay-Puft lifts his head up

EGON:

Hurry!

PETER:

See you on the other side, Ray.

fires

RAY:

Nice working with you, Dr. Venkman.

Fires. They cross the streams.

Let's turn 'em on, Spengler!

EGON and WINSTON fire

Cross 'em now, Spengler!

Mr. Stay-Puft sees what's going on. He screams. The four proton beams combine to make one big one, blasting right into the temple. The gates swing shut.

PETER, RAY, EGON, WINSTON

shouting randomly

Aggh! Oh, no! Help! It's gonna blow! Let's get out of here!

They stop firing and run away.

The Temple of Zuul explodes. Mr. Stay-Puft does as well.

Outside Ivo Shandor Building

Marshmallow spatters all over. PECK looks up just in time to see a big glob splatter on him. He yells and curses at the sky.

Remnants of Temple of Zuul

Marshmallow all over everything, including RAY and WINSTON.

RAY:

Oh... oh... Winston? Are you all right?

WINSTON:

Yeah, yeah.

they laugh

RAY:

Venkman? Spengler? Venkman? Spengler?

EGON, covered in marshmallow, enters

Oh, Spengler, are you okay?

EGON:

I feel like the floor of a taxi cab.

PETER enters. He has very little marshmallow on him.

RAY:

Venkie!

PETER:

Yeah. I'm all right.

RAY:

Thank God. You okay?

EGON:

I'm all right.

RAY:

You all right?

PETER:

I'm all right.

RAY:

You okay?

PETER:

Fine...

Walks away. Comes across remnants of terror dog statue.

RAY:

Oh. Smells like barbecued dog hair. Oh... Venkman. Oh, Venkman, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I... I just forgot.

PETER walks away sadly. Then part of the statue breaks off. A hand reaches out.

DANA:

Mm...

RAY:

Look!

The Ghostbusters break open the statue, and PETER lifts DANA out.

LOUIS, with a terror dog statue head on his head, walks around helplessly.

LOUIS:

Somebody turn on the lights! Help! Somebody turn on the lights!

PETER:

Go check on that little guy!

RAY, EGON and WINSTON go to help them. They remove the terror dog head.

LOUIS:

What happened?

DANA:

coming to

Oh... oh... oh... where am I?

opens eyes, sees PETER

Oh... hi...

EGON:

regarding LOUIS

He'll be all right.

LOUIS:

Boy, the superintendent's gonna be pissed.

RAY:

Are you okay?

LOUIS:

Who are you guys?

RAY:

We're the Ghostbusters.

LOUIS:

Who does your taxes?

PETER leads DANA away. RAY, EGON and LOUIS start to walk off.

RAY:

You know, Mr. Tully, you are a most fortunate individual!

LOUIS:

I know.

RAY:

You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional crossrip since the Tunguska blast of 1909!

LOUIS:

Felt great!

EGON:

We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue.

LOUIS:

Okay.

WINSTON:

throwing up hands and cheering

I love this town!

Outside Ivo Shandor Building

Music:
Ghostbusters. The crowd cheers for the Ghostbusters. PETER gives DANA a long kiss on the lips. RAY takes a puff on a cigarette as he waves. PETER escorts DANA into Ecto-1. EGON leaves building. JANINE runs into his arms.

JANINE:

Egon!

They kiss. He pats her cheeks. LOUIS comes out, waving.

LOUIS:

What's going on? Does anyone wanna interview me? I'm an eyewitness. I was up there!

Red Cross employees take him off, but LOUIS protests.

I wanna go with them, in the car.

WINSTON puts his proton pack away. The Ghostbusters get into Ecto-1 and the crowd parts to let them through. As Ecto-1 drives off, the crowd chases after it.

Slimer flies above the crowd, screaming, and flies into the camera. Fade to black. Final credits roll.
