View Quote ... Ghostbusters (1984) ... Movie Quotes Database

Walter Peck: I am Walter Peck, sir, and I'm prepared to make a full report. These men are consummate snowball artists. They use sensitive nerve gases to induce hallucinations. People think they're seeing ghosts, and they call these bozos, who conveniently show up to deal with the problem with a fake electronic light show.

Archbishop: [enters City Hall] Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Mayor Lenny: You're looking good, Mike. [gives Mike a friendly tap] We're in a real fix, here. What do you think I should do?
Mike: Lenny, officially, the Church will not take any position on the religious implications of these phenomena. Personally, Lenny, I think it's a sign from God. But don't quote me on that.

Mayor Lenny: Now, I'm not gonna call a press conference and tell everyone to start praying.
Winston Zeddemore: I'm, uh, Winston Zeddemore, Your Honor. I've only been with the company for a couple of weeks, but I gotta tell you: these things are real. Since I joined these men, I have seen shit that'll turn you white!

Egon Spengler: 40 years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes!
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!
Mayor Lenny: ENOUGH, I get the point! And what if you're wrong?
Peter Venkman: If I'm wrong, nothing happens! We will go to jail; peacefully, quietly. We'll enjoy it! But if I'm right, and we can stop this thing... Lenny, you will have saved the lives of [faces lights up] millions of registered voters. [Mayor slightly smiles and the Archbishop of New York smirks and nods in agreement]
Walter Peck: I don't believe you're seriously considering listening to these men.
Mayor: [contemplates; to officers while pointing at Peck] Get him outta here.

Walter Peck: I'll fix you, Venkman. I'm gonna fix you!
Peter Venkman: I'm gonna get you a nice fruit basket. [thumbs at Peck; to Ray] I'm gonna miss him!
Walter Peck: All right, all right! [leaves the room on his own]
