Dr. Peter Venkman quotes from Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)

Bill Murray
A line from Dr. Peter Venkman

You got a lot of nerve! Coming back here, crawling back to me. We could have been the most spectacular power couple, you know. My sense of fun, and your personality. But, no: you always had to vanquish! Conquer! You always had to maim somebody!

Man
[After Lucky is possessed by the Gatekeeper, Gozer goes to shock Callie and Phoebe] [offscreen]

Hey, flat-top!

Peter Venkman
[Gozer looks over her shoulder. She, Callie and Phoebe find the original Ghostbusters]

Have you missed us?

Ray
[From inside Ecto-1, three tiny Stay Puft Marshmallow Men gasp and cheer]

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.

Winston Zeddemore
[Gozer growls]

I think she remembers us.

Gozer
[Gozer gazes at them]

Are you... a god?

Winston
[Ray pauses]

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.

Winston
[The Gatekeeper goes to attack, but Gozer signals for it to stop]

Okay, playtime's over. Let's toast this muffin.

Peter
[The Ghostbusters unholster their proton wands]

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!

Ray
[The Ghostbusters blast their proton streams around Gozer's body. Callie and Phoebe watch in amazement]

Yeah, nothing stings like a billion electron-volts!

Peter
[Gozer has just been defeated, the ghost of Egon stands besides his former colleagues]

I thought you might show up.

Ray
[They gaze at their late friend]

I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

Winston
[Egon smiles acceptably, then nods as if to say, "That's OK."]

You should have called. I miss you, my friend.

Peter

Hi, there. Pete Venkman, from the home office. Thanks for pitching in.

Phoebe

You're welcome.

Peter

I like your style. Who's that one?

Callie

Callie. [pauses] Callie Spengler.

Peter

Spengler? Heh, weird name. Try to make the best of that. Alright, we're gonna have cocoa inside. Some of us will have rum with it.

Dana
[Dana Barrett and Peter are playing with Peter's ESP cards]

Do you know what this is?

Peter

Lines. Two… No, three… wavy lines.

Dana
[reveals the card]

That's amazing.

Peter

You're amazing, with your ability to... flood my psychic powers.

Dana
[holds up another card]

I can't believe you used to shock your students.

Peter

Between us, I only zapped the guys. [Dana zaps him, causing him to yell in pain]

Peter

For science. I know that now. I admit that.

Dana

Ready? Try this one.

Peter

Uh…

Dana

Take a moment.

Peter

Uh… It's a five-pointed star… yes?

Dana
[reveals the card]

How are you doing that?

Peter

Some believe that true love imbues the subject with the ability… [Dana shocks him again]

Dana

Did you mark the cards?

Peter

Haha... no.

Dana

You did, didn't you?

Peter
[nods]

Yeah. [Dana shocks him once more] Aah!

Dana

It works well.
