A scene from Ghostbusters 1984
Peter Venkman

[ EPA agent Walter Peck is visiting the Ghostbusters]

Can I help you?
Walter Peck" I'm Walter Peck, I'm with the Environmental Protection... [Venkman shakes hands with Peck and still has Ectoplasm on his hands] ...Agency, the third district.

Peter Venkman

[wipes the Ectoplasm on Peck's Suit]

Great, how's it going down there?

Walter Peck

Are you Peter Venkman?

Peter Venkman

Yes, I'm... Dr. Venkman.

Walter Peck

Exactly what are you a doctor of, Mr. Venkman?

Peter Venkman

Well, I have a PhD in Parapsychology and Psychology.

Walter Peck

I see. And now, you catch ghosts.

Peter Venkman

Yeah, you can say that.

Walter Peck

And how many ghosts have you caught, Mr. Venkman?

Peter Venkman

I'm not at liberty to say.

Walter Peck

And where do you put these ghosts, once you catch them?

Peter Venkman

Into a storage facility.

Walter Peck

And would the storage facility be located on these premises?

Walter Peck

And may I see this storage facility?

Walter Peck

And why not, Mr. Venkman?

Peter Venkman

Because you did not use the magic word.

Walter Peck

What is the magic word, Mr. Venkman?

Peter Venkman

"Please."

Walter Peck

May I please see the [chuckles] storage facility, Mr. Venkman?

Peter Venkman

Why do you want to see the storage facility?

Walter Peck

Well, because I'm curious. I want to know more about what you do here. Frankly, there have been a lot of wild stories in the media and we want to assess for any possible environmental impact from your operation. For instance, the presence of noxious, possibly hazardous waste chemicals in your basement. Now you either show me what is down there, or I come back with a court order.

Peter Venkman

You go get a court order, and I'll sue your ass for wrongful prosecution.

Walter Peck

You can have it your way, Mr. Venkman.
