Quotes 

• Janine Melnitz : Your father wasn't much of a homemaker. He could barely keep the power on.

  Callie : You're saying he left us nothing?

  Janine Melnitz : Well, I wouldn't say nothing... there is quite a bit of debt.

• [second half of post-credit scene with Janine and Winston talking at his office] 

  Winston Zeddemore : Egon was the brains. Ray was the heart. Peter just kept it cool.

  Janine Melnitz : Who were you?

  Winston Zeddemore : The sex appeal.

  [both chuckle] 

  Janine Melnitz : You've done very well for yourself. A lot of shelf space.

  Winston Zeddemore : [cut-scene of him entering the firehouse]  See, that's the thing. I don't do it for me. I do it for my kids, and I wanna be example of what's possible.

  Janine Melnitz : You still covering the rent at Ray's bookshop?

  Winston Zeddemore : Ray's gonna turn a profit one of these days.

  Janine Melnitz : I remember the day you came in.

  Winston Zeddemore : I came in looking for a steady paycheck. But busting ghosts with the guys taught me not to be afraid. That I had the tool and I had the talent. I started this business with one employee. And I've grown it into a thriving global enterprise. I may be a businessman, but I will always be a Ghostbuster.

• [first half of post-credit scene; a deleted scene from the original 1984 film] 

  Janine Melnitz : I want you to take this.

  [She hands Egon a coin] 

  Dr. Egon Spengler : What is it?

  Janine Melnitz : It's a souvenir from the New York World's Fair in Flushing Meadow in 1964. It's my lucky coin.

  Dr. Egon Spengler : I shouldn't take it. We might not be coming back.

  Janine Melnitz : Take it anyway. I got another one at home.

  [She and Egon embrace]
