Scenes with Stantz

4 scenes
Judge Wexler
[two ghosts in electric chairs are attacking the court room as Judge Wexler admonishes the Ghostbusters over their work on First Avenue]

Oh my god! The Scoleri brothers!

Dr. Raymond Stantz

Friends of yours?

Judge Wexler

I tried 'em for murder! Gave 'em the chair! You've gotta do something!

Dr. Egon Spengler

Why don't you just tell them you don't believe in ghosts?

Dr. Egon Spengler
[the Ghostbusters study a painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art]

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."

Dr. Raymond Stantz and Winston Zeddemore
[Ray and Winston show up as children's party entertainers] [singing]

If there's something strange in your neighborhood / who you going to call?

Kids at party

He-Man! He-Man!

Stantz and Zeddemore
[singing unenthusiastically to each other]

If there's something weird, and it don't look good...

Stantz

Wanna go get a beer?

Zeddemore

Yeah.

Dr. Raymond Stantz
[Ray takes out a container full of slime from the microwave]

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!

Stantz
[Container twitches as the slime bubbles angrily]

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]

Stantz
[Winston and Peter looks at one another as the slime continues to bubble angrily]

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...

Zeddemore
[Slime reacts]

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?

Venkman
[Uncomfortable silence for Ray and Egon; slime bubbles softly] [shakes his head in disbelief]

Oh, you!

Zeddemore
[mutters]

It's always the quiet ones.

Venkman
[chuckles]

You hound!
