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!

Friends of yours?

Judge Wexler

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

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

Judge Wexler
[Judge Wexler is angrily berating the the Ghostbusters over their work on First Avenue; a jar of slime they had presented as evidence is heating up, bubbling over]

Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, Egon Spengler...stand up! Get up!

Judge Wexler
[Peter, Ray and Egon complies] [looks at Louis]

You too, Mr. Tully. [Louis stands up; reads his verdict] I find you guilty on all charges! I order you to pay fines in the amount of $25,000 each! [the jar of slime bubbles, Ray sees it] I sentence you to eighteen months in the city correctional facility at Rikers Island! [pounds his gavel]

[to Egon]

Eggy! She's twitching!

Judge Wexler

I'M NOT FINISHED! On a more personal note, let just me go on record as saying that there is no place for fakes, charlatans-

[They all began to notice except for the judge]

Uh, Your Honor?

Judge Wexler

Shut up! And tricksters like you in decent society!

[interrupting]

Your Honor!

[interrupting with Ray]

Your Honor, this is very important-!

Judge Wexler
[Slime keeps bubbling]

You prey upon the gullibility of innocent people!

Yes, sir.

Judge Wexler

Be quiet!

But- [points to the jar]

Judge Wexler
[Slime has risen to the point that the jar lid falls off]

And believe me, if my hands were not tied by the unalterable fetters of the law! [slime rapidly overflows over the exhibit table] And I would indulge in the tradition of our illustrious forbears! Reach back, to a purer, sterner justice... [Peter, Ray, Egon and Louis begins to hide under the table] ...and have you BURNED AT THE STAKE!

[The slime explodes and two ghoulish figures in electric chairs leap out]

Wow!

Judge Wexler
[aghast]

Oh my God, the Scoleri brothers! [the ghouls lunge; he jumps over his bench and dives under the trio's table] The Scoleri brothers!

Friends of yours?

Judge Wexler

I tried them for murder! Gave them the chair! [one brother seeks out the group and spots them hiding] You gotta do something!

Why don't you tell them you don't believe in ghosts?
[One brother lifts the table and throws it across the courtroom as the group runs for cover]

[Wexler, Louis, Peter, Ray, and Egon all watch the prosecuting attorney being carried by one of the Scoleri brothers outside the courtroom]

Judge Wexler: [wailing] Ohhh...

You're next, Bubbles.

Judge Wexler
[screams]

ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT! I rescind the order! Case dismissed!

Louis Tully

Hooray, we won the case!

Judge Wexler

Now do something!
