DELETED SCENES

EXT. MUSEUM THEIR POV - BUILDING

The building is now totally covered in a shell of psycho-reactive slime. CITY WORKMEN and FIREMEN are trying to cut their way in with blowtorches, jackhammers, power tools and the "jaws of life," but they can't even make a dent.

GHOSTBUSTERS

They size up the situation as they don their proton packs.

STANTZ
It looks like a giant Jello mold.

VENKMAN
I hate Jello.

They stride manfully across the street and approach the main entrance to the museum.

STANTZ
(to the Fire Captain)
Okay, give it a rest, Captain. We'll take it from here.

FIRE CAPTAIN
(skeptical)
Be my guest. We been cutting here for three hours. What the hell's going on? You know the Titanic arrived this morning?

VENKMAN
Well, better late than never.

Behind-the-scenes footage from the Ghostbusters II Electronic Press Kit

The workmen and firemen put down their tools and fall back as the Ghostbusters draw their particle throwers.

SPENGLER
(monitoring valences)
Full neutronas, maser assist.

They adjust their settings and prepare to fire.

STANTZ
Throw 'em!

They trigger their throwers and spray the front doors of the building with bolts of proton energy, but it has no effect on the hardened slime.

VENKMAN
(to the firemen)
Okay, who knows "Cumbaya?"

A few of the firemen and workmen tentatively raise their hands. Venkman grabs them and lines them up at the entrance of the museum.

VENKMAN
All right. Nice and sweet --
(starts singing)
Cumbaya, milord, cumbaya --

Stantz, Spengler, Winston and the firemen sing along, reluctantly holding hands and swaying to the music.

ALL
(singing)
Cumbaya, milord, cumbaya, Cumbaya, milord, cumbaya, Oh, Lord, cumbaya.

Stantz inspects the wall of slime with his infra-goggles and finds that they have only managed to open a hole the size of a dime.

STANTZ
Forget it. The Vienna Boys Choir couldn't get through this stuff.
