Egon Spengler: "Big crowd, Venkman would love this."
Ray Stantz: "Captain McMahon from the 12th says there was a massive disturbance. Real fireworks show."
Winston Zeddemore: "Not much going on now."
Egon Spengler: "Maybe. But didn't there used to be two lions out here?"
Ray Stantz: "Check for valences."
Egon Spengler: "Hmm…interesting. Ray, take a look at this."
Ray Stantz: "Wow! Big spikes! Hey, cadet. You need to see this."
Egon Spengler: "Stay back!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Look out! There they go!"
Winston Zeddemore: "You heard Stantz! Let's move."
Egon Spengler: "There they are!"
Ray Stantz: "Couple of Class-five Animators. Never seen them in tandem like that! They're really agitated!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Switching on the packs."
Ray Stantz: "All right…take it easy, now."
Ray Stantz: "Sorry, Z."
Winston Zeddemore: "How about a little warning next time, fellas!?"
Egon Spengler: "That one's a beast, Ray. Let's chase him down. Winston, check that next doorway. See if he has any friends."
Winston Zeddemore: "Leave a haunted room? I got no problem with that."
Egon Spengler: "And please be careful, it's a prototype. We're trusting you with it."
Winston Zeddemore: "Cool! A freeze ray!"
Ray Stantz: "A stasis stream. This has nothing to do with cold. But the effect is similar."
Winston Zeddemore: "When do you have the time to work on all this stuff, Egon?"
Egon Spengler: "I've been conducting an experiment in which I sleep an average fourteen minutes a day. Leaves me a lot of time to work."
Egon Spengler: "Strong emanations. No direct source, though."
Ray Stantz: "We followed out guy in here and it gave us the slip."
Egon Spengler: "Detecting a strong anomaly, here…"
Ray Stantz: "Uh-oh. Here comes something big!"
Egon Spengler: "Now that is a fine example of a Level 6 Bi-Dimensional Attractor"
Egon Spengler: "Slow it down somehow!"
Ray Stantz: "It's losing strength! Keep tearing it down!"
Egon Spengler: "All of its power is emitting from a single focal object!"
Egon Spengler: "A lot. A lot of very angry energy."
Ray Stantz: "How easy was that?"
Egon Spengler: "Wait! Not so fast, I'm getting some big fluxes here."
Ray Stantz: "I think it's her. Yes, yes, it is her! Eleanor Twitty, The Librarian!"
Egon Spengler: "Look! There she is! Meet us at the stairway door!"
Ray Stantz: "She went down that way!"
Egon Spengler on radio: "Winston, check upstairs to see if the other Phantom doubled back."
Winston Zeddemore: "Roger."
Ray Stantz: "She shushed us again. That witch!"
Egon Spengler: "PKE's out. And try to be quiet."
Ray Stantz: "Oh, wow! A full stabilizing levitation! I'd say we're close to something."
Egon Spengler: "Ray…"
Ray Stantz: "You got something?"
Egon Spengler: "I've got something. Right…here."
Egon Spengler: "I'm pretty sure Venkman doesn't."
Ray Stantz: "Easy now…she's real skittish."
Egon Spengler: "Damn! Lost it!"
Ray Stantz: "Let's go! We'll cut her off!"
Ray Stantz: "Wow! Now listen. This place is reading like a psychic pressure cooker. Prime your thrower. Everybody stick close together."
Egon Spengler: "Here! This way! Quick!"
Egon Spengler: "Flexible approach, Ray."
Ray Stantz: "There are two hostile spirits roaming around in here."
Egon Spengler: "Two that we know about."
Ray Stantz: "Now I got ya. What?! Oh no! Kid! Look out! It's coming your way!"
Egon Spengler: "Temperature's dropping. Event imminent! Brace yourselves!"
Egon Spengler: "Hmm…go on."
Winston Zeddemore: "This dude has a history you should know about. He was a rare book collector who seduced Eleanor Twitty, the head librarian of this place."
Ray Stantz: "The Gray Lady?!"
Egon Spengler: "That would be my guess."
Winston Zeddemore: "Okay, guys, it's dead up here. The good kind, I mean. You all cool?"
Egon Spengler: "We may need to get back to you on that."
Ray Stantz: "How easy was that?"
Ray Stantz: "Phew. Good work. That took some doin'."
Egon Spengler on radio: "Congratulations, Ray, uh… but I'm near Special Collections. Someone you've been wanting to meet again is here."
Ray Stantz: "Mind the paper cuts!"
Winston Zeddemore on radio: "Thanks for the warning, Ray. But I have no idea what you're talking about."
Egon Spengler on radio: "You may wanna just take our word for it."
Ray Stantz: "There she is…quiet, now…let's get a solid scan…"
Egon Spengler on radio: "I missed that, Ray! Please repeat!"
Egon Spengler on radio: "Could not hear a word of that, Ray!…Ray?!"
Ray Stantz on radio: "Ah Winston, where the heck are you?"
Winston Zeddemore: "In the periodical section checking the box score from the Knicks game last night. Why?"
Ray Stantz on radio: "Tell us more about this "Collector", Winston."
Winston Zeddemore: "Says here that this Collector used the Gray Lady to get to the rare books in her care – specifically a book called, get this, the Gozerian Codex."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Great!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Yeah. And when she found out what he was up to, she dumped him."
Egon Spengler on radio: "Smart lady."
Winston Zeddemore: "Not really. Evidently he murdered her for it."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Uh-oh."
Winston Zeddemore: "The Gray Lady was his first victim, but he killed a bunch more."
Ray Stantz on radio: "And let me guess, he collected their bodies, just like he collected books?"
Ray Stantz on radio: "Sounds like quite the bookworm."
Winston Zeddemore: "Sounds like the kind we run into all the time."
They head down stairwell. Child says: "Bye."
Egon Spengler: "Shh…almost…"
Ray Stantz: "Oh, boy."
Egon Spengler: "Looks like they're throwing the whole science fiction section at us."
Ray Stantz: "Can't blast through the shields!!"
Egon Spengler: "Their shields! Use the Capture Stream on their shields!"
Egon Spengler: "I wish."
Ray Stantz: "Now where'd she go?"
Egon Spengler: "Looks like the janitors didn't, either. For the last eighty years, anyway."
Egon Spengler: "Let's be careful what we wish for down here, Ray."
Ray Stantz: "Wow! Dig THAT!"
Egon Spengler: "Ray, I'm not entirely convinced this is the best course of action."
Ray Stantz: "Hey! I'll bet this is a trap!"
Egon Spengler: "Welcome back, Ray."
Ray Stantz: "Uh-oh! They've got friends!"
Egon Spengler: "It's moving again!"
Egon Spengler: "I'm having serious doubts about the structural integrity of this sub-basement."
Ray Stantz: "Moving!"
Egon Spengler: "I'm telling you this sub-structure is unstable! The ceiling could come down on top of us!"
Ray Stantz: "Our lobe-probe experiment is working! You're clairvoyant!"
Egon Spengler: "No, I saw the support columns buckle."
Egon Spengler: "Those beams are wedged solid."
Ray Stantz: "Good place for the capture stream."
Egon Spengler: "Alright, wrangle that out of the way!"
Egon Spengler: "Something big. And, more than likely, terrifying."
Ray Stantz: "It's really dark down there!"
Ray Stantz: "That's an electric lock on the door."
Egon Spengler: "See if you can find the power."
Egon Spengler: "That didn't last long."
Egon Spengler: "I can't say I'm a big fan of the Level 6 Bi-Dimensional Attractor."
Ray Stantz: "There she is! Flank her! She's got nowhere to run!"
Ray Stantz: "Except through the grate."
Egon Spengler: "I'm not clear on how the flanking was supposed to work."
Ray Stantz: "Oh boy. Burning coal. Two of them this time!"
Egon Spengler: "Yeah nice Ray! Tell us again how lucky we are?"
Ray Stantz: "Phew. We've got to bag the Gray Lady before this gets really dangerous."
Egon Spengler: "We may have missed that window, Ray."
Egon Spengler: "Our own private shortcut to hell. That's convenient."
Ray Stantz: "Eerie place. I wonder if this is where the Collector killed The Librarian?"
Egon Spengler: "I think that would be a safe assumption. That book she's reading is emitting massive energy."
Ray Stantz: "Ah, that's your cue, Killer. Go get 'em."
Egon Spengler: "She took that pretty well; better than I expected."
Ray Stantz: "It makes perfect sense if her residual spirit energy is tied to the book. The Gozerian Codex, right? Now that we have it, her echo must have been released. She's gone. I think we helped her cross over."
Egon Spengler: "And she just crossed right back."
Ray Stantz: "Oh, no."
Egon Spengler: "The book stands are generating her shield."
Ray Stantz: "Buddy, the podiums – soak 'em! Soak 'em!"
Egon Spengler: "That's it! She can't regenerate the cage! Keep hitting the book stands!"
Ray Stantz: "She is shielding herself with the Codices, go after those first!"
Ray Stantz: "That does it! Now let's attack the Librarian straight on!"
Ray Stantz: "Throw a capture stream on her!"
Egon Spengler: "That's good! Throw out the trap!"
Ray Stantz: "Weird. That wasn't as tough as it should have been."
Egon Spengler: "I was just thinking of the same thing."
Ray Stantz: "It was almost too easy… like she wants us to have the Codex…"
Egon Spengler: "Yes, like she wanted us to blast this room apart."
Ray Stantz: "But, why?"
Ray Stantz: "Cross-dimensional portal. From the fifth to the fourth. A whole world of ghosts. Something I've dreamnt about since College. It's all in the Monarchia Daemonum. Fantastic! Ghostworld."
Egon Spengler: "I wouldn't get too excited, Ray. I have a feeling she did it so we could meet an old friend of hers."
Ray Stantz: "Well, if we're going…"
Ray Stantz: "OH, NO. LOOK OUT!"
Egon Spengler: "Hm. So this is what the Public Library looks like on the far side of a cross-dimensional portal."
Ray Stantz: "It's one of infinite potential configurations. You know …theoretically."
Egon Spengler: "Yes, well this looks like the Gozerian configuration."
Ray Stantz: "The natives are restless."
Egon Spengler: "Well, they're certainly aware of out presence."
Egon Spengler on radio: "Ray, it occurs to me that these events are interrelated."
Ray Stantz: "The Gozerian Exhibit, the huge energy pulse, the Sedgewick Hotel, the return of Stay Puft… yeah…"
Egon Spengler: "Yes, even this. All pointing back to a single point of origin."
Ray Stantz: "Ilyssa?"
Egon Spengler on radio: "Ilyssa."
Ray Stantz: "You think she's a factor in this?"
Egon Spengler on radio: "Maybe not intentionally, but almost definitely."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Rookie? Are you still there? Watch out! The mirrors aren't what they seem…"
Ray Stantz on radio: "Okay, I've tried this one twice already. So it's gotta be another one."
Egon Spengler on radio: "This dimension is extremely volatile. It seems to be tearing itself apart."
Ray Stantz on radio: "We need to get out of here."
Egon Spengler on radio: "Oh no."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Did you see something scary, Egon?"
Egon Spengler on radio: "Okay, I'm through!"
Ray Stantz on radio: "Send a signal we can track you with."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Made it out, too. Hey, champ, we won't leave until you find us."
Egon Spengler on radio: "Look for the long staircase. The exit portal is at the very top."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Keep movin, Sport. We sure don't wanna be trapped in here."
Egon Spengler on radio: "Recruit, I had some trouble getting to the portal. Use the Slime Tether to bring the portal to you."
Azetlor: "Nowumba AZETLOR machachan!"
Egon Spengler on radio: "Did you hear that?"
Ray Stantz on radio: "Wonder if that's the Collector we're looking for?"
Egon Spengler on radio: "I think he goes by 'Azetlor' now."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Hey, cadet! are your okay? Sounds like it's getting closer!"
Egon Spengler on radio: "Can you get to that portal at the top of the stairs?"
Ray Stantz: "I do like what they've done with the place here – but I hoped that portal would have taken us back to the Library."
Egon Spengler: "Actually, we are back in the Public Library. The dimensional membrane must be extremely thin here."
Ray Stantz: "Someone's holding us here. The Collector."
Egon Spengler: "Yes, Azetlor wants to add to his collection. And he's probably not too happy about us taking the Gozerian Codex with us."
Ray Stantz: "Oh yeah? What can a twisted little bookworm do to scare us?"
Egon Spengler: "He murdered Eleanor Twitty for it when he was alive. And a dozen others just to cover it up."
Egon Spengler: "Yes, I think you got his attention, Ray."
Egon Spengler: "Look! His face is protected by Black Slime!"
Ray Stantz: "That must be the key! Hey, Junior, switch out your nozzle and hose him down!"
Egon Spengler: "Neutronize the Black Slime on his mask!"
Egon Spengler: "Rip his mask off, it looks vulnerable!"
Egon Spengler: "Oh no, I think we just exposed his angry side."
Ray Stantz: "Bring him down all the way. Keep shooting him in the eye if you can, he's got nothing to resist the proton stream!"
Egon Spengler: "Hit him in the eye, we've almost got him!"
Ray Stantz: "He's out of control! Blast him in the eye, Rook, I think it's working!"
Egon Spengler: "Don't question it, Rook! Just blast the glowy part!"
Ray Stantz: "Collect some of this, Jerk!"
Ray Stantz: "There it goes! Bye, Azetlor!"
Egon Spengler: "We need to get out of here!"
Ray Stantz: "There's a new portal back here! C'mon rook that's gotta be they way out."
Winston Zeddemore: "Where the hell were you guys?! I've been runnin' all over this library, calling you, looking for you …nothing!"
Egon Spengler: "We passed through a cross-dimensional portal into an alternate version of the New York Public Library, and fought a forty foot monster made out of priceless antiques to steal an ancient magical book."
Winston Zeddemore: "Oh…well…that would explain it, then. Next time leave a note."
Egon Spengler: "Ray, does this mean anything to you?"
Ray Stantz: "Nope, it wasn't here the first time we came through."
Winston Zeddemore: "What is it?"
Egon Spengler: "Not entirely sure. But whatever it is, I think we just turned it off."
Ray Stantz: "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
Winston Zeddemore: "Thin crust New York style with no visible anchovies?"
Ray Stantz: "Maybe later. Right now I need to go back to the lab and take a look at this Codex."
Egon Spengler: "And analyze the data we've collected. It could help us when we go to the museum."
Winston Zeddemore: "Slice to go on the way? Rookie's treat?"
Ray Stantz: "And we need to know what this is."
Winston Zeddemore: "I'll call for a delivery. Again."
Cinematic
Ray Stantz: "Well, it's a great read. But nothing about that."
Ilyssa Selwyn: "I know that symbol."
Egon Spengler: "How?"
Ilyssa Selwyn: "It shows up sometimes in Sumerian ritual magic. There's a statue on loan at the museum that features it."
Ray Stantz: "What does it represent?"
Ilyssa Selwyn: "Just a symbol: signifies a path to obtain great power. Most of my colleagues assume it's an old constellation."
Winston Zeddemore: "No constellation I ever saw. And I used to tell fortunes on Coney Island."
Peter Venkman: "Is that right. Did you wear a turban?"
Winston Zeddemore: "No, man. A red velvet cape with moons. It was plush."
Ray Stantz: "Get this. The Codex does indicate there is some kind of feeder system required to channel energy to a Destructor Form."
Winston Zeddemore: "A Destructor Form…like Stay Puft?"
Egon Spengler: "It's entirely possible that system and this pattern are connected."
Ray Stantz: "It's possible."
Egon Spengler: "Wait. You said the Gozerian statuary at the Museum is on loan. From whom?"
Ilyssa Selwyn: "Ivo Shandor, the architect. Well, the Shandor Foundation. They control Shandor's remaining estate and holdings. Ivo was a big collector of Gozerian artifacts."
Winston Zeddemore: "By "Ivo Shandor the Architect", you mean "Ivo Shandor the Genocidal Maniac." Right?"
Ilyssa Selwyn: "That's what I was researching when Gozer attacked me. Shandor's architecture firm was involved in a number of projects around town in the late 18-,early 1900s."
Egon Spengler: "Including Dana Barrett's old building on Central Park West."
Peter Venkman: "You mean the one with the extra dimensional antenna that drew Gozer to our world so he could attempt to destroy it? Had a nice view of the park, though."
Ilyssa Selwyn: "Yes, but he also did some renovations on existing buildings and a number of public works. There was controversy…because a lot of people thought the work was unnecessary."
Winston Zeddemore: "Let me guess. He did some renovations on the Public Library building on Fifth."
Ilyssa Selwyn: "Riiiight. And…The Museum of Natural History"
Ray Stantz: "Recent visitations, specific, localized paranormal activity, singing Vikings…"
Egon Spengler: "They're all connected to Shandor…and this pattern."
Winston Zeddemore: "We should warn the Mayor."
Ray Stantz: "I don't know, he's likely to just sick Peck on us even more."
Egon Spengler: "You should get a closer look at the Museum."
Ilyssa Selwyn: "Well, the Mayor's gonna be at the Museum for the exhibition opening gala tonight. It's where I need to be, too."
Peter Venkman: "Ilyssa, you sure make work fun for me. Is business casual okay? I don't have a tux."
Ilyssa Selwyn: "Are you kidding? He doesn't want you guys within three city blocks of the Museum tonight? He thinks you make his campaign contributors nervous. Besides, that Peck guy will be at the party, too."
Winston Zeddemore: "And that frees us up to check out the rest of the building."
