Part of the "Ghostbusters II" Theatrical Trailer:
Announer: At the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve of the last decade of the 20th century, America's largest city is about to pay for the nastiness of it's inhabitants. When that day comes, when the slime starts to rise, when ghosts start arriving by the boatload, there's one one thing to do.


Ray: Ungrateful little yuppie larva.


Peter: You know, I'm a voter. Aren't you suppose to lie to me and kiss my butt?


Dana: Thanks for coming.
Ray: Hey, no problem. Always glad to help ... and hug.


Peter: What's your name?
Dana: His name is Oscar.
Peter: Named after a hot dog, you poor man, you poor, poor man.


Egon: I'd like to run some gynecological tests on the mother.
Peter: Who wouldn't?


Vigo: I Vigo, the scourge of Carpathia, the sorrow of Moldavia, command you.
Janosz: Oh, comand me, Lord.


Peter: Sometimes shit happens, someone has to deal with it, and who ya gonna call?


[proton pack being turned on]
Peter: Do ...
[proton pack being turned on]
Ray: Re ...
[proton pack being turned on]
Egon: Egon ....


Ray: Two in the box ...
Egon: Ready to go ...
Peter: We be fast ...
All: And they be slow.


Peter: We're the best ... we're the beautiful .. we're the only ... GHOSTBUSTERS.
Ray: We're back!


Janosz: Doctor Venkman, go. Yes, I think, go, yes. The joyfulness is over.
Dana: He's kidding.
Peter: Well you're not gonna get a green card with that attitude, pal.


Egon: Vigo the Carpathian, born 1505, died 1610.
Peter: 105 years old. He hung in there, didn't he?
Ray: Didn't die of old age either. He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disembowled, drawn and quartered.
Peter: Ouch.


Dana: Don't put any of those old cheap moves on me again.
Peter: No, no, no, no.
Dana: It's different.
Peter: I have all new cheap moves.


Peter: There seem to be three million completely miserable assholes living in the tri-state area.
Hardemeyer: Oh please.
Peter: I beg your pardon. Three million and one.


Vigo: So be it. On this day of darkness, she will be ours. Wife to you, and mother to me.


Mayor: Somebody get me the Ghostbusters.


Ray: It looks like a giant Jell-O mold.
Winston: I hate Jell-O.
Peter: Ah, come on, there's always room for Jell-O.


Ray: It's slime time.


Peter: Happy New Year.


Janosz: Why am I drippings with goo?

[Ray and Winston, in full uniform, entertain at a childrens birthday party. They sing and dance along to a cassette recording of Ray Parker Jr.'s 'Ghostbusters'.]
Song: Ghostbusters!
Both: If there's something strange, in the neighborhood. Who you gonna call?
Kids: He-Man!
Both: If there's something weird, and it don't look good...
Ray: Let's go get a beer. Alright?
Winston: Yeah.
[they leave the house, saying their goodbyes to the parents]
Ray: Thank you.
Winston: Bye.
Ray: Call anytime.
Winston: Look. That's it. I've had it, Ray. No more parties.
Ray: [counts their payment] Here's your share.
Winston: Look. I'm tired of taking abuse from over-privledged nine year olds.
Ray: I know, Z, but we can't quit now. The holidays are coming up. It's our best season.
Winston: Ray, man, face it. Ghostbusters doesn't exist. A year from now those kids won't even remember who we are.
Ray: Ungrateful little yuppie larva. After all we did for this city.
Winston: Yeah. We conjured up a hundred foot marshmallow man, blew the top three floors off an uptown highrise, ended up getting sued by every state, country and city agency in New York.
Ray: Yeah, but what a ride.

Peter: You wanna play with a big kid? You know, I should have been your father. I mean, I could have been. [he shakes Oscar's hand] I understand.
[He picks Oscar up, whistling 'Dixie'- Oscar bites him playfully on the nose]
Peter: Help! He's gone completely beserk. Help! Help!
[Dana overhears this in the other room and come in to see what's the matter, leving Egon and Ray by themselves]
Ray & Egon: Uh-oh.
Ray [to Egon] You mean you never even had a slinky?
Egon: We had part of a slinky, but I straightened it.
[back in the other room]
Peter: He had some sort of clear liquid coming out of his mouth, too.
Dana: Yes, well, that happens. Well, what do you think?
Peter: Well, he's ugly. I mean, he's not Elephant Man ugly, but he's not attractive. Was his father ugly?
Dana: [to Oscar] Don't listen.
Peter: And he stinks. You're right, Seņor! Did his father stink? Yeah? Daddy was a smelly? Huh? What's your name?
Dana: His name is Oscar.
Peter: Named after a hot dog, you poor man, you poor, poor man.
Dana: Oh, but seriously- there's nothing unusual about him, is there?
Peter: Well, I don't have a lot of experience with babies. But you're excited now, because Mama's here to get your stool sample! Right Mama?
Dana: Stool sample?!
Peter: Yeah...
==================================================
Peter: Oh, look at him, look at him, oh, look at this guy. Oh, he's a coconut, this gut. You're gonna be staying at Uncle Pete's until this thing blows over.
==================================================
Dana: It's so late. I really ought to put him down.
Peter: May I?
Dana: Yeah, if you want to.
Peter: You're short, your belly button sticks out too far, and you're a terrible burden on your poor mother!

Disorder In The Court
* Flash (YouTube) - Streaming / Download
Prosecutor: Dr. Venkman, would you please tell the court why it is that you and your co-defendants took it upon yourselves to dig a very big hole in the middle of First Avenue?
Peter: Well, there are so many holes in First Avenue, we really didn't think anyone would notice.
Judge: Keep that up, mister, I'll find you in contempt.
Peter: I'm truly sorry, Your Honor.
Prosecutor: I'll ask you again, Dr. Venkman, why were you digging the hole? And please remember you're under oath.
Peter: There are some things in this world that go way beyond human understanding. Things that cannot be explained. Things that most people don't want to know about! That is where we come in.
Prosecutor: So what you're saying is that the world of the supernatural is your exclusive province?
Peter: Kitten, I think that what I'm saying is that: sometimes, shit happens, someone has to deal with it, and who ya gonna call?
[all in the courtroom cheer]
Judge: [banging the gavel] Shut up!
[wipe fade to a short time later]
Judge: Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, Egon Spengler, stand up. Get up! You too, Mr. Tully. I find you guilty on all charges! I order you to pay fines in the amount of $25,000 each! I sentence you to eighteen months in the city correctional facility at Rikers Island!
[the slime bubbles, Ray sees it]
Ray: Iggy! She's twitching!
Judge: I'm not finished! And on a more personal note, let me go on record as saying that there is no place for fakes, charlatans...
[the Ghostbusters notice that the jar of pink slime on the exhibit table is twitching]
Egon: Uh, your honor?
Judge: Shut up! ...and tricksters like you in decent society.
Peter: Your honor, this is important.
Judge: You prey on the gullibility of innocent people.
Ray: Yes sir.
Judge: Be quiet.
Ray: But... [points in the direction of the twitching jar, in the hopes that the judge will notice]
Judge: If my hands were not tied by the unalterable fetters of the law, then I would invoke the tradition of our illustrious forebearers, reach back to a purer, sterner justice and have you burned at the stake!
[the judge's ill demeanor causes the jar to explode, thus releasing the ghosts of the Scoleri brothers]
Ray: Wow!
[everyone in the courtroom fleas in panic]
Judge: Oh my god, the Scoleri brothers.
[jumps out from behind ther bench and over to where the Ghostbusters are under a table]
Judge: The Scoleri brothers.
Ray: Friends of yours?
Judge: I tried them for murder. Gave them the chair. You gotta do something.
Egon: Why don't you just tell them you don't believe in ghosts?
[the Scoleri brothers throw the table away, all five run for new cover]
Judge: You gotta do something! Help me!
Ray: Don't talk to me, talk to my attorney.
Louis: And that's me! My guys are still under a judicial mistrangement order! That blue thing I got from her! They could be exposing themselves!
Peter: And you don't want us exposing ourselves.
[The video cuts out some of the scene and skips ahead a little bit]
Ray: Well, there's no time for a bench test! Heat 'em up!
Peter: [charging his pack] Doe...
Ray: [charging his pack] Ray...
Egon: [charging his pack] Egon...

[The Ghostbusters suit up.]
Peter: Oh... oh, I always hated this part of the business. You know, it's been a couple of years since we used this stuff. I hope it still works.
Egon: It should. The power cells have a half-life of five thousand years.
Ray: Well, there's no time for a bench test! Heat 'em up!

[the Ghostbusters hear the sound of the train in the empty decommissioned subway tunnel]
Egon: Probably in one of the tunnels above us.
Winston: Sounds awfully close to me.
[The sound gets louder and louder, and as they look down the track they see the train coming right towards them. Ray and Egon jump out of the way, but not Winston. Luckily, it was a ghost train, so it passes right through him.]
Winston: [screams]
Egon: I think that was the old New York Central, City of Albany. Derailed in 1920, killed hundreds of people. Did you catch the number on the locomotive?
Winston: Sorry, I missed it.

[the Ghostbusters climb out of the sewer, all covered in pink slime]
Winston: Nice going, Ray! What are you trying to do, drown me?
Ray: Oh, yeah, Zeddemore, like it was my fault. That you were too stupid not to drop that plumb line.
Winston: Stupid. Hey you better watch your mouth or I'll punch your lights out.
Ray: Oh, yeah?
Winston: Yeah.
Ray: Well any time.
Winston: You're on.
Ray: Yeah. It's go time, man. I want you bad.
[Egon looks around and realizes that it's the pink slime they're covered in that's making Ray and Winston behave badly.]
Egon: Wait! Wait! Stop! Stop! Get your clothes off.
[they all take off their rain slickers, but keep their longjohns on]
Winston: Oh, dear, Ray. What are we doing? I was ready to kill you.
Ray: It's the stuff. It's like pure, concentrated evil.
Egon: And it's all flowing right to this spot.
[they all turn around and see the Manhattan Museum of Art, where Dana works]

Detective #2: [on the phone] Was this a big dinosaur or a little dinosaur? Oh, just the skeleton, huh? Well, which way was it heading?
Detective #3: [on the phone] Wait a second. What was chasing you in the park? The park bench was chasing you?
Sergeant: What? Wait a second. Lieutenant, I think you better talk to this guy.
Lieutenant: I'm busy here.
Sergeant: It's some dock supervisor down at Pier 34.
Lieutenant: What's the problem?
Sergeant: He says the Titanic just arrived.
[the dock supervisor and his friend watch as passengers disembark from the ship]
Dock Supervisor: Well, better late than never.

Taking The Statue For A Walk

Peter: Here's something off the request line from Liberty Island. We're gonna squeeze some New Year's juice from ya, Big Apple!
[Peter starts up the cassette player, and "Higher and Higher" blares from the loudspeakers. The slime sparks, the statue's torch explodes, and Lady Liberty gets off her pedestal and walks through the water.]
Ray: Man, I can't wait to see people's faces when we come on shore! This should really get the city's positive energy flowing, huh, Venkie!
Peter: Keep kicking, Libby! You make this work, we'll pop for a weekend in Vegas with the Jolly Green Giant!
[the scene of Louis and Janine where he dons a uniform was thankfully cut out of this video file]
[The statue walks down the streets of Manhattan]
Peter: Yeah, New York!
Ray: Sing it out!
Peter: Your love... has lifted me higher!
Winston: Come on, you sing!
Egon: We're running out of time, Ray.
Winston: Can't she go any faster?
Ray: I'm afraid the vibrations would shake her to pieces. We should have padded her feet.
Egon: I don't think they make Nikes in her size, Ray.
Peter: Oh, don't worry, she's tough. She's a harbor chick!
