Ghostbusters The Video Game Page #7

---

Peter Venkman "I am DR. Peter Venkman.

And that's uh Egon, Ray, Winston and uh you met him.

Uh huh. The Ghostbusters."

Egon Spengler "Have you ever been involved in this type of

quantum temporal rift event before?"

Ilyssa Selwyn "A quantum what?"

Ray Stantz "It's called 'arcing'; a large pulse of psychic energy."

Ilyssa Selwyn "Actually, yes. I was at the museum..a pulse of blue

light surged through the building...and then I was standing outside

a room on the thirteenth-floor of an old hotel."

Winston Zeddemore "The Sedgewick."

Ray Stantz "The Sedgewick doesn't have a thirteenth-floor."

Ilyssa Selwyn "It was pulling me, like a magnet.

I felt as though I was in a deep dream. I came to and ran over here."

Ray Stantz "Here?"

Ilyssa Selwyn "It's a temporary office while I'm in town.

I came to do research after I...woke up."

Egon Spengler "We'd like you to come to our lab so we can

run some brief tests and ask you more questions."

Peter Venkman "Here's an easy one: would you like to go

out for Thai, Mexican, Japanese?"

Ilyssa Selwyn "Wow, Dr. Venkman. That time you almost went

45 seconds without saying something abrasive.

Wanna try for a whole minute next time?"

Peter Venkman "A doctor. And a fiery one too!

Charming. So charming."

Later, at the Firehouse...

Winston Zeddemore "So, you know so much about Gozer because...?"

Ilyssa Selwyn "Because I'm a specialist in ancient Mesopotamian

cultures and architecture. Sumerian, primarily. Gozerian, more specifically.

I'm here as a guest curator for the Gozerian exhibit that's opening tomorrow

at the Natural History Museum."

Egon Spengler "You are aware that we also have some...history with Gozer."

Ilyssa Selwyn "Yes, of course."

Ray Stantz "Gozer was a bush-leaguer before he met us.

A strictly farm-team deity! We put him on the map!"

Peter Venkman "But our getting stiffed on invites to opening night...

just an over sight, right?"

Ilyssa Selwyn "I don't have anything to do with that."

Walter Peck "That, gentlemen, was all me!

And I can assure you, it was not an oversight!"

Janine Melnitz "Oh, by the way, you have visitors."

Peter Venkman "Thank, Janine. You're a first class lookout.

Walter Peck, I did not recognize you without the Mayor's

backside attached to your nose."

Mayor Mulligan "Okay...everybody put 'em back in

their skivvies! (laughs)

Apologies, uh, Dr. Selwyn. Are you alright?"

Ilyssa Selwyn "I think so, but...I'm worried about the exhibit."

Mayor Mulligan "Are you kidding?! You can't buy publicity like this!

The guest curator of the Gozer Exhibit...the expert Peck recommended,

is attacked the night before the opening by Gozer himself?!

Please...tell me that was Gozer!"

Egon Spengler "Gozer manifested in a familiar form; one he had used before:

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. But this event was weaker than his first

encounter with us."

Mayor Mulligan "Ha! That's all I need. Thanks!"

Peter Venkman "Come on, Jock, what's the idea bringing...(coughs)...preck

around here? Oh, have I coughed at the wrong time?"

Mayor Mulligan "Listen. Here's the deal. You and Peck and all

you guys are going to work together."

Peter Venkman and Walter Peck "What?!"

Ray Stantz "No way, no how..."

Egon Spengler "Impossible."

Mayor Mulligan "Look. This city has given you at

least a dozen contracts for the jails, courthouses

and wharves. You guys want to grow your business.

Get some county and state work too. I'm all for it.

You've been big supporters, and great for my campaign."

Ray Stantz "Well some have said our endorsement is what got you elected."

Mayor Mulligan "But not out loud. Anyway, after all the damage you've been

causing lately, the city council wants you under close supervision for

a period of no less than six months!"

Peter Venkman "We file reports on time. There's no need for extra supervision."

Mayor Mulligan "Ha, ha, ha! Funny guy, Venkman! You've always been my favorite.

Well, that's where your old friend Peck comes in.

He's annoying, a stickler for the rules. In other words,

the prefect "Peck" for the job.

He's our new head of P-COC!"

Ray Stantz "P-COC?"

Walter Peck "P-C-O-C: Paranormal Contracts Oversight Commission.

And my first official act is going to be

suspending you clown's operating license."

Mayor Mulligan "Listen up, Peck. Launch your

investigation if you have to but for now, just

keep them under control and my office in the

loop. But remember, if the Ghostbusters cease

to exist, so does your job. So you need each other.

Beautiful, in an ironic symmetrical kind of way, isn't it?"

Peter Venkman "Hey, Mulligan. Come on..."

Mayor Mulligan "It's Mayor Mulligan to you, Venkman.

So, we have an understanding?

This kind of protects us all.

You want more government business, I want to keep my

approval rating, and Peck wants his little fiefdom.

You play by the rules. Easy, we all get what we want

and the city council gets what they need.

Okay, big night tomorrow, Ilyssa! Get some rest!"

Mayor Mulligan saunters out of the room.

Ray Stantz "So! Now that we're all friends,

can we get invites to the Museum opening?"

Walter Peck "Not likely. But I'll be seeing you soon.

You can count on that."

The Ghostbusters and Selwyn are on the main floor by Ecto 1-b.

Peter Venkman "Doesn't Peck look exactly like the kind of guy who

would "accidentally" walk into the stream of a boson collider?"

Rookie goes to Ecto 1-b.

Egon Spengler "Ray and I have been talking...

...and we think we should have a look at the museum.

Whatever happened tonight, it started there."

Peter Venkman "Okay, I'll take one for the team and stay with Ilyssa.

You guys go with Winston and the Recruit.

I'll be her personal protection."

Winston Zeddemore "What about Peck? He's supposed to be

informed of everything we do."

Ray Stantz "What he doesn't know can't hurt us."

Ecto 1-b is on route when Janine comes on radio

Janine Melnitz "Hey Guys, you need to make a detour.

Something big is going down. It's on 1010 WINS now."

Ray Stantz "Tune it in."

Radio announcer "...and another ghostly sighting has staff

at the New York Public Library scrambling for answers."

Egon Spengler "The Gray Lady."

Ray Stantz "Let's get her for real this time ...go!"

Winston Zeddemore "Well, what about the Museum?"

Ray Stantz "It's been there for a hundred and four years.

Where's it gonna go today?"
