Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector. They expect results.
Scenes with Dr. Ray Stantz
8 scenesWe came, we saw, we kicked its ass!
[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.
...human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!
What did you do, Ray?!
Alright... This chick is toast!
Man at Elevator
What are you supposed to be, some kind of a cosmonaut?
[chuckles]
No, we're exterminators. Someone saw a cockroach up on twelfth [the twelfth floor].
Man at Elevator
That's gotta be some cockroach.
Bite your head off, man.
Dr. Ray Stantz
[entering elevator]
Going up?
Man at Elevator
I'll take the next one.
Dr. Ray Stantz
(Inside the elevator.)
You it' just occurred to me that we really haven't had a successful test of this equipment.
I blame myself.
So do I.
Dr. Ray Stantz
Well, no sense worrying about it now.
Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.
Dr. Ray Stantz
Yeah. Well, let's get ready. Switch me on.
(Egon turns on Ray's pack. It emits a strange sound and begins humming. Egon backs away from it.)
There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
What?
Don't cross the streams.
Why?
It would be bad.
I'm a little fuzzy on the whole "good/bad" thing here. What do you mean, "bad"?
Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Dr. Ray Stantz
Total protonic reversal!
That's bad. Okay. All right, important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.
