[later, when the ghost has scared them out of their wits]
'Get her'? That was your whole plan? 'Get her'? Tee hee.

Ghostbusters quotes
Page 2 of 5[while seeing Stay-Puft walk towards the building and the Ghostbusters]
Well, that's something you don't see every day.
I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something that I loved from my childhood. Something that would never ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay-Puft.
Nice thinking, Ray.
We used to roast Stay-Puft Marshmallows, by the fire at Camp Waconda.
Dr. Peter Venkman [looks at Egon]: Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon. What have you got left?
Sorry, Venkman. I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.
Cold-riveted girders, with cores of pure selenium.
[to everyone who's not a Ghostbuster]
Everyone getting this so far?
So what? I guess they just don't make them like they used to.
Dr. Raymond Stantz No! Nobody ever made them like this! The architect was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko!
Don't look directly at the trap!
I looked at the trap, Ray!
Everything was fine [with our system] until our power grid was shut off by dickless here.
Walter Peck
They caused an explosion!
Mayor [To Peter]
Is this true?
Yes, it's true. [slight pause] This man has no dick.
[Peck then tries to attack Dr. Venkman but is kept away by others in the room]
Well, that's what I heard!
[Note: Censored version has Venkman saying "This man is some kind of rodent, I don't know which".]
Hey. Where do these stairs go?
They go up.
Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?
Ah, if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.
Would you like some coffee, Mr. Tully?
Yes, have some.
Yes, have some!
[after the Containment Unit explodes thanks to Walter Peck]
This is it! This is the sign!
Yeah, it's a sign alright. We're going out of business!
I am the Keymaster!
I am the Gatekeeper!
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.
Man at Elevator I'll take the next one.
(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.
Well, no sense worrying about it now.
Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.
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.)
Teenage Nerd
[Venkman has just administered a static electric shock to him]
HEY!! I'm getting a little TIRED of this!!!
You volunteered, didn't you?! We're paying you, aren't we?
Teenage Nerd
Yeah, but I didn't know you were going to give me electric shocks!! What are you trying to prove here, anyway?
I'm studying the effect of negative reinforcement on ESP ability.
Teenage Nerd
THE EFFECT?!! I'll tell you what the effect is! IT'S PISSING ME OFF!!!
Well then maybe my theory is correct!!!
Teenage Nerd
You can KEEP the five bucks, I'VE HAD IT!!
I WILL, Mister!! (Teenage Nerd slams the door behind him on his way out.) You may as well get used to that. That's the kind of resentment your gift is gonna provoke in a lot of people.
Teenage Girl
You really think I've got it, Dr. Venkman?
You're no fluke, Jennifer.
Walter Peck
Captain, I want these men arrested! They're in criminal violation of the Environmental Protection Act! And this explosion is the direct result of it!
YOUR MOTHER!!!
Hey, wait a minute. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hold it! Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian God is going to drop in on Central Park West, and start tearing up the city?!
Sumerian, not Babylonian.
Yeah. Big difference.
No offense, guys, but I've gotta get my own lawyer.
Right!
Go get her, Ray!
[Ray glares at him]
Gozer the Gozerian? Good evening. As a duly-designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the next convenient parallel dimension.
That oughta do it, thanks very much Ray.
Gozer Are you a god?
Gozer Then...DIEEE!!
[Gozer begins shocking the Ghostbusters with lighting]
Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES!!"
