Jack Hardemeyer Wait! Uh... Now, I'm sure there's another way.
Jack, I spent an hour last night in my bedroom talking to Fiorello LaGuardia, and he's been dead for 40 years! [forceful tone] Now where are the Ghostbusters?
The Ghostbusters.
Mr. Mayor? [holds out his hand, wanting to shake his hand]
What is this? A slumber party?
Well, that's why we wanted to see you.
Listen, I don't want to hear anything about it. You got two minutes. Make it good.
Well, first of all, Mr. Mayor, it's a great pleasure to see you again, and you'll be happy to know that almost fifty percent of us voted for you in the last election.
I appreciate that.
I'm sorry we have to meet under these circumstances.
Mr. Mayor, we're here tonight because a psychomagnatheric slimeflow of immense proportions is building up beneath the city.
Psycho-what?
Psychomagnatheric.
Big word, big word.
Negative human emotions that are forming into a vicious ectoplasm with *explosive* supernormal potential.
Can somebody speak English here?
Uh yeah. Your honor, what we're trying to say is all of the bad feelings. You know hate, anger and the vibes of the city are turning into this sludge. I didn't believe in it either. But, we just went for a swim in it and end up almost killing each other.
Jack Hardemeyer This is insane! Do we really have to listen to this?
Can't you stop your lips from flapping for 2 little minutes? [to the Mayor] Lenny, have you been out on the street lately, do you know weird it is out there? We've taken our own headcount, there seems to be 3 *million* completely miserable assholes living in the Tri-State area.
Jack Hardemeyer Please.
I beg your pardon, 3 million and one.
Jack Hardemeyer Hey.
And what fudgy brain here doesn't realize, that if we don't do something fast this whole place is gonna blow like a frog on a hot plate.
Jack Hardemeyer Yeah, right.
What do you want me to do, go on television and tell 3 million people they have to be nice to each other? [begins to walk off] Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right. Your two minutes are up. Good night, gentlemen. [leaves]
What the hell is going on? It's pandemonium out there!
Jack Hardemeyer Yes, I know. We're working on it!
Great. While you're working on it, I'm going down as the mayor who let New York get sucked down into the tenth level of hell! [giving up] All right, we got no choice. Call the Ghostbusters.
Jack Hardemeyer Wait! Uh...Now, I'm sure there's another way.
Jack, I spent an hour last night in my bedroom talking to Fiorello LaGuardia, and he's been dead for 40 years! [forceful tone] Now where are the Ghostbusters?
Jack Hardemeyer Uh, they're not available.
What do you mean they're not available?
Jack Hardemeyer Well, I had them committed to the psychiatric ward at Parkview Hospital.
You WHAT?!
Jack Hardemeyer They were threatening to go to the press! I was protecting your interests!
Oh yeah?!
Jack Hardemeyer Uh-huh!
Well, you can stop protecting my interests! You have exactly three minutes to clear out! You're fired!
Jack Hardemeyer But the election! You're making a big mistake, Mr. Mayor!
Harry! Remove this man from the building! And get me the Ghostbusters!
