Quotes

Ray: Ah, good evening. I'm Ray Stantz of the Ghostbusters. I'm sorry to have to tell you that you've got what seems to be a Class 7 repeating coporial entity residing here. Or, in layman's terms, the Boogieman lives in your closet.


The Boogieman: I'll be back.

Original:     Redubbed:
Peter: Yeah, I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna sleep like the dead.
Egon: Possibly not the most appropriate metaphor, Peter, considering our line of work.
