New York Public Library, basement

''ALICE brings some books down to the basement of library. As she walks along, a few books float to other shelves. When she turns around to investigate, nothing happens. She makes some notes on a pad and passes a card catalog. The drawers slide open, spilling cards all over the place. She screams and runs. She runs through the shelves. Comes to what must be the ghost; she screams. Her hair blows back. Ghostbusters logo dissolves onto screen. Music: Ghostbusters.''

MALE STUDENT stumbles over some words before PETER zaps him.''<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Hey! I'm getting a little tired of this!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You volunteered, didn't you? We're paying you, aren't we?

What are you trying to prove here anyway?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I'm studying the effect of negative reinforcement on ESP ability.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">MALE STUDENT <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">The effect?! I'll tell you what the effect is! It's pissing me off!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Well, then maybe my theory is correct!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">MALE STUDENT ripping electrodes off hands<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You can keep the five bucks, I've had it! runs out of room and slams door <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I will mister! kindly, to JENNIFER<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You may as well get used to that, that's the kind of resentment that your ability is going to provoke in some people.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">JENNIFER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Do you think I have it, Dr. Venkman?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You're no fluke, Jennifer. DR. RAYMOND STANTZ enters the room, all in a flurry. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">RAY grabbing stuff off shelves<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">This is it! This is definitely it! Did those UV lenses come in for the video camera? And that blank tape? I need it. The one you erased yesterday.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER to JENNIFER<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Can you excuse me for a second?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">JENNIFER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Sure. PETER runs to RAY, jumps up and smacks him on the head. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I'm right in the middle of something, Ray! Ah, I need a little more time with this subject. Could you come back in an hour, hour and a half?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">RAY <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Peter, at 1:40 PM at the main branch of the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue, ten people witnessed a free floating, full torso, vaporous apparition. It blew books off shelves from twenty feet away and scared the socks off some poor librarian!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I'm very excited. I'm very pleased. I want you to get right down there, check it out and get back to me.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Get right back to me...

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">RAY <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You're coming with us on this one! Spengler went down there and took PKE valances. Went right off the top of the scale. Buried the needle! We're close on this one. I can feel it!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I can feel it. We're very, very close. to JENNIFER<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I have to go now, Jennifer, but I'd like to work with you some more. Perhaps you could come back this evening, say at -

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">JENNIFER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Eight o'clock?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I was just about to say eight o'clock! You are a legitimate phenomenon!

Outside New York Public LibraryPETER is yelling at RAY all the way there. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">As a friend I have to tell you: you've finally gone round the bend on this ghost business. You guys have been running your ass off meeting and greeting every schizo in the five boroughs who says he has a paranormal experience. What have you seen?

New York Public Library, reading room <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">RAY <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Of course you forget, Peter, I was present at an undersea, unexplained, mass sponge migration.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Ooh, Ray, those sponges migrated about a foot and a half. ''DR. EGON SPENGLER is under the table, listening to it with a stethescope. PETER runs over to him and speaks in a zombie voice.<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Egon... EGON is puzzled. PETER raps table with knuckles, then slams it with a book. EGON is starled and jumps up.'' <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">EGON <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Oh, you're here.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Yeah, what have you got?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">EGON <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">This is big, Peter. This is very big. There is definitely something here.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Egon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head. You remember that?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">EGON <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me. LIBRARY ADMINISTRATOR walks up to the three. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">LIBRARY ADMINISTRATOR <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I'm Roger Delicore. Are you the men from the university?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER introducing them all<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Yes. I'm Dr. Venkman. Dr. Stantz, Egon.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">LIBRARY ADMINISTRATOR <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Thank you for coming. I hope we can clear this up quickly and quietly.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Let's not rush things. We don't even know what you have yet. ''They go to a smaller room. ALICE is lying on a table.'' <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">ALICE <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I don't remember seeing any legs, but it definitely had arms because it reached out for me.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">RAY <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Arms?! I can't wait to get a look at this thing!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Alice, I'm going to ask you a few standard questions, okay? Have you or any of your family ever been diagnosed schizophrenic, mentally incompetent?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">ALICE <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">My uncle thought he was St. Jerome.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">I'd call that a big yes. Uh, are you habitually using drugs, stimulants, alcohol?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">ALICE <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">No!

Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">LIBRARY ADMINISTRATOR <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">What has that got to do with it?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

They come to a tall tower of books.'' <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">RAY <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Look!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">PETER <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You're right. No human being would stack books like this.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">RAY <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">You have been a participant in the biggest interdimensional crossrip since the Tunguska blast of 1909!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">EGON <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">LOUIS <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Okay.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">WINSTON throwing up hands and cheering <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">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.'' <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">JANINE <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">Egon! ''They kiss. He pats her cheeks. LOUIS comes out, waving.''

Does anyone wanna interview me? I'm an eyewitness. I was up there! Red Cross employees take him off, but LOUIS protests. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;text-align:-webkit-center;">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.''
