Quotes 

• [the three living Ghostbusters interact with their deceased friend, Egon] 

  Peter Venkman : Had a feeling you'd turn up.

  Ray Stantz : I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

  Winston Zeddemore : I should've called. I miss you, my friend.

  [Egon smiles] 

• Callie : [being cornered by Gozer]  Oh, no.

  [Gozer raises its hands and steadily sends lightning toward Callie and Phoebe, but before it reaches them...] 

  Peter Venkman : [off-screen]  Hey, flat-top!

  [Gozer looks toward the sound of the voice, stopping its attack. Callie and Phoebe look back too as they see Peter Venkman, Ray Stanz, and Winston Zeddemore standing there] 

  Peter Venkman : Have you missed us?

  Ray Stantz : Gozer the Gozerian! In the name of the county of Summerville, state of Oklahoma, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, all the members of Ducks Unlimited, the Association for the Advancement of Retired Persons, I command you under the National Invasive Species Act to depart this world immediately.

  Peter Venkman : Bravo.

  [Gozer growls and stares at them malevolently] 

  Winston Zeddemore : I think she remembers us.

  Gozer : [approaches them]  Are you... a god?

  Winston Zeddemore : [seeing Ray hesitate]  Ray?

  Peter Venkman : Oh, come on, Ray.

  Ray Stantz : Yes.

  Winston Zeddemore : Yeah, we're all gods.

  Peter Venkman : Yeah, I mean we're all pretty dang special down here. On a personal note: I thought that we had busted up for good. I mean, it wasn't working for me. My friends didn't think so, and I know yours didn't.

  [Zuul tries to attack, but Gozer signals her to stop] 

  Winston Zeddemore : Okay, playtime's over. Let's toast this muffin.

  [they get out their proton-wands] 

  Peter Venkman : Light them up.

  [they activate the wands] 

  Winston Zeddemore : Man, I love that sound.

  Peter Venkman : On the count of three, go on two. One, two...

  [they open fire on Gozer, restraining it] 

  Ray Stantz : Yeah, nothing stings like a billion electron volts!

  [they begin to cross the streams and Gozer leans forward in pain] 

  Callie : Yes!

  [Gozer grabs hold of the proton streams] 

  Winston Zeddemore : Did you feel that?

  Ray Stantz : Yeah.

  Peter Venkman : Uh-oh.

  [Gozer begins to pry the streams apart] 

  Ray Stantz : She's uncrossing the streams!

  [Gozer whips the streams back at the Ghostbusters, sending them flying back] 

  Callie : No!

  Podcast : Are they dead?

  Ray Stantz : [slowly getting up]  I don't remember this job being so painful.

  Winston Zeddemore : I do.

• [Ray Stantz is on the phone with Phoebe, calling from Summerville jail] 

  Ray Stantz : Egon Spengler can rot in hell.

  Phoebe : [sadly]  He died last week.

  Ray Stantz : [genuinely saddened]  Oh, man. No kidding.

• Ray Stantz : Are you all right, son? You just singlehandedly defeated a manifestation of Gozer.

  Podcast : You gotta be on my podcast.

  Ray Stantz : Sure. What's it called?

  Podcast : Mystical Tales of the Unknown Universe.

  Ray Stantz : M.T.U.U., that's you?

  Podcast : Wait. You're my subscriber?

  Ray Stantz : Really found its voice in the 46th episode.

• Ray Stantz : We're closed.

• Ray Stantz : We lost the firehouse. It's a Starbucks now.

• Phoebe : Well, what about Egon?

  Ray Stantz : Well, he wasn't helping. We went from ten calls a week to one if we were lucky. Egon started to tell people that their little ghost problems didn't matter because the world was coming to an end. He got spooky. Freaked me out. One morning, I go to work and Ecto-1, our old Cadillac, is gone, his neutrona throwers, collider pack, all the traps, 16 ounces of fuel isotope, all gone! He cleaned us out. Now we were the dead ones.

  Phoebe : Don't you think might've had a reason?

  Ray Stantz : He phoned me about ten years later, some small town in Oklahoma. He kept rambling on about "the rising storm" and "the huge psychic tornado" that was gonna "consume humanity in darkness forever." And, kid, I wanted to believe.

  Phoebe : You don't understand. There is this mountain and it has these ancient carvings...

  Ray Stantz : Kid, kid, kid, there are a lot of mountains up there with ancient carvings. Take a little advice. Don't go chasing ghosts.

  Phoebe : Egon Spengler was my grandfather.
