Ernie Hudson movie quotes

View Quote Albrecht: Oh great! Great! Guy shows up looking like a mime from hell and you lose him, right out in the open. Well, at least he didn't do that 'walking against the wind' shit. I hate that.

View Quote Albrecht: Police! Don't move - I said don't move!
Eric: I thought the police always said "Freeze."
Albrecht: Well I am the police and I say "don't move" Snow White; you move, you're dead.
Eric: And I say I'm dead; and I move...

View Quote [Looking at a bloody crow outline on the wall]
Detective Torres: What the hell do you call that?
Albrecht: I call it blood, detective. I suppose you'll write it up as... "graffiti."

View Quote [to Janine during his interview] If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.

View Quote I love this town!

View Quote [After Peter has gone to visit Dana in her state of being the Gatekeeper] She's not my girlfriend. I find her interesting because she's a client and because she sleeps above her covers. Four feet above her covers.

View Quote [the Ghostbusters study a painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art]
Dr. Egon Spengler: Vigo the Carpathian. Born 1505, died 1610.
Dr. Peter Venkman: 105 years old? He hung in there, didn't he?
Dr. Raymond Stantz: He didn't die of old age, either. He was poisoned, stabbed, shot, hung, stretched, disemboweled, drawn and quartered.
Venkman: Ouch.
Winston Zeddemore: Guess he wasn't too popular at the end, huh?
Spengler: No, not exactly a man of the people. Also known as Vigo the Cruel, Vigo the Torturer, Vigo the Despised, and Vigo the Unholy.
Venkman: Wasn't he also Vigo the Butch?
Stantz: And dig this, there was a prophecy. Just before his head died, his last words were "Death is but a door, time is but a window: I'll be back."

View Quote [Vigo's awesome power has paralyzed all of the Ghostbusters. He holds Oscar aloft.]
Vigo: Now we become one.
[Suddenly, singing is heard from outside]
Crowd: 'Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and ne'er brought to mind...'
Dr. Raymond Stanz: Where's that singing coming from?
Winston Zeddemore: The people outside!
[Vigo begins to roar in pain]
Crowd: 'If auld aquaintance be forgot, remember Auld Lang Syne!'
[They continue to sing. Vigo roars, his form becoming less tangible]
Dr. Egon Spengler: He's weakening! The singing is neutralizing the slime!
Stanz: I can move!
Spengler: He's back in the painting!

View Quote [Ray takes out a container full of slime from the microwave]
Dr. Raymond Stantz: We've been experimenting with the plasm we found in the subway tunnel. Careful.
Dr. Peter Venkman: Should I get spoons?
Dr. Egon Spengler: Don't bother. [Ray sets the container on the table for everyone to see] Watch this. Go ahead, Ray.
Stantz: [yells at the container] You! You worthless piece of slime!
[Container twitches as the slime bubbles angrily]
Stantz: You ignorant, disgusting blob! [slime reacts]
Spengler: You're nothing but an unstable, short-chain molecule! [slime reacts]
Stantz: You foul, obnoxious muck! [slime reacts]
Spengler: You have a weak electrochemical bond! [slime reacts]
[Winston and Peter looks at one another as the slime continues to bubble angrily]
Stantz: I have seen some disgusting crud in my time, but you take the cake!
Winston Zeddemore: [interrupting just before it overflows its container] Whoa, whoa!
Stantz: You're a – You just –
Zeddemore: Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Venkman: [beat] This is what you do with your spare time?
Stantz: Peter, this is an incredible breakthrough. I mean, what a discovery! A psychoreactive substance! Whatever this stuff is, it responds to human emotional states.
Venkman: [beat] Mood slime. [to slime affectionately] Oh, baby...
[Slime reacts]
Zeddemore: You mean this stuff actually feeds on bad vibes?
Stantz: Like a cop in a donut factory.
Spengler: We've been running tests to see if we can get an equally strong positive reaction.
Venkman: What kind of tests?
Stantz: Well, we sing to it, and, uh, we talk to it, and say...supportive, nurturing things to it...
Venkman: You're not sleeping with it, are you, Ray?
[Uncomfortable silence for Ray and Egon; slime bubbles softly]
Venkman: [shakes his head in disbelief] Oh, you!
Zeddemore: [mutters] It's always the quiet ones.
Venkman: [chuckles] You hound!

View Quote Monroe: That region of the Congo's uninhabited.
Dr. Karen Ross: Well, something inhabits it.
Dr. Peter Elliot: What exactly did you see on that tape?
Dr. Karen Ross: A camp destroyed. People dead. A grey gorilla...
Dr. Peter Elliot: There's no such thing as a grey gorilla.
Dr. Karen Ross: Well, I saw one.
Dr. Peter Elliot: It's hard to believe at this late date...
Monroe: Why are you going in there?
Dr. Karen Ross: Two men are unaccounted for: Geoffrey Weams, and Charles Travis, my fiance... My FORMER fiance.
Monroe: Your former?
Dr. Peter Elliot: Well, we better get to him then.

View Quote Dr. Peter Elliot: [coming across a crashed plane] Good Lord.
Monroe: It's that plane we saw burning in the sky.
Herkermer Homolka: Who were they?
Dr. Karen Ross: Travis, my boss, he thought I wasn't gonna make it. He sent another expedition.
Monroe: He tried to push away too far. Looks like a rocket got them. No point going in there.
Dr. Karen Ross: My God, what a waste of life.

View Quote Monroe: This, as they say, is a fork in the road. We could go left or we could go right. If we go the wrong way, we lose two or three days.
Herkermer Homolka: We must follow the gorilla, where she leads.
Monroe: That would be left.
Dr. Karen Ross: My best guess off my last coordinates was this way.
Monroe: That'd be right.
Amy: Amy, Peter, go this way.
Dr. Karen Ross: Well... I don't have her passion. I'll follow the gorilla.

View Quote Winston Zeddemore: Egon was the brains. Ray was the heart. Peter just kept it cool.
Janine Melnitz: Who were you?
Winston: The sex appeal.
[Janine and Winston laugh]
Janine: You've done very well for yourself. A lot of shelf space.
Winston: See, that's the thing. I don't do it for me. I do it for my kids, and I want to be an example of what's possible.
Janine: You still covering the rent at Ray's book shop?
Winston: Ray's gonna turn a profit one of these days.
Janine: [chuckles] I remember the day you came in.
Winston: I came in looking for a steady paycheck. But busting ghosts with the guys taught me not to be afraid. That I had the tools, and I had the talent. I started this business with one employee, and I've grown it into a thriving global enterprise. I may be a businessman, but I will always be a Ghostbuster.

View Quote [After Lucky is possessed by the Gatekeeper, Gozer goes to shock Callie and Phoebe]
Man: [offscreen] Hey, flat-top!
[Gozer looks over her shoulder. She, Callie and Phoebe find the original Ghostbusters]
Peter Venkman: Have you missed us?
[From inside Ecto-1, three tiny Stay Puft Marshmallow Men gasp and cheer]
Ray: Gozer the Gozerian! In the name of the county of Summerville, state of Oklahoma, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, all the members of Ducks Unlimited, the Association for the Advancement of Retired Persons. I command you under the National Invasive Species Act to depart this world immediately.
Peter: Bravo.
[Gozer growls]
Winston Zeddemore: I think she remembers us.
[Gozer gazes at them]
Gozer: Are you... a god?
[Ray pauses]
Winston: Ray?
Peter: Oh, come on, Ray!
Ray: ...Yes.
Winston: Yeah, we're all gods.
Peter: Yeah, I mean, we're all pretty dang special out here. On a personal note, I thought that we had busted up for good. I mean, it wasn't working for me. My friends didn't think so, I know yours didn't.
[The Gatekeeper goes to attack, but Gozer signals for it to stop]
Winston: Okay, playtime's over. Let's toast this muffin.
[The Ghostbusters unholster their proton wands]
Peter: Light 'em up! [laughs as they energize their proton packs]
Winston: Man, I love that sound!
Peter: On the count of three. Go on two. One, two!
[The Ghostbusters blast their proton streams around Gozer's body. Callie and Phoebe watch in amazement]
Ray: Yeah, nothing stings like a billion electron-volts!

View Quote [Gozer has just been defeated, the ghost of Egon stands besides his former colleagues]
Peter: I thought you might show up.
[They gaze at their late friend]
Ray: I'm sorry I didn't believe you.
[Egon smiles acceptably, then nods as if to say, "That's OK."]
Winston: You should have called. I miss you, my friend.
