"Hello, Ghostbusters. Just one moment. I'm looking up your file. Mmm, mm-hmm. It did what? Mm-hmm. You did? Really? I can schedule an appointment. And a number where you can be reached?"
"Ghostbusters, what do you want? Mm-hmm. Let me write this down. Really? I can schedule an appointment. What's the address? Fine. Goodbye."
"Ghostbusters. No. Not at the present time. Goodbye."
"Hello, Ghostbusters. Oh, hi. I don't think so. No. Really? Right. Right. Goodbye,"
"Ghostbusters, what do you want? Mmm, mm-hmm. Just one moment. I'm looking up your file. No. Not at the present time. Fine."
"Ghostbusters, what do you want? Let me get a pen. Mmm, mm-hmm. Really? You did? I can schedule an appointment. Thank you so much for calling."
"Hello, Ghostbusters. Just one moment. Let me get a pen. It did what? When did this occur? I can schedule an appointment. And a number where you can be reached? Thank you so much for calling."
"Hello, Ghostbusters. Oh, hi. Yes. Mm-hmmm. You did? I don't think so. No. No. Goodbye."
"Ghostbusters. Hold, please."
"Ghostbusters, what do you want? Let me write this down. Mmm, mm-hmm. When did this occur? Mm-hmm. What's the address? And a number where you can be reached? I can schedule an appointment. All right. Goodbye."

"Ghostbusters, what do you want? We can schedule a visit, umm…next Thursday? Sometime between 8 A.M. and 4 P.M.? I'm afraid that's the soonest opening we have. All right, I've got you down for then. Oh it won't be necessary to call before they arrive. Believe me, you'll know it. That'll be fine. Goodbye."
"Hello, Ghostbusters. Mmm, mm-hmm. No, we do not advise that you attempt to perform a Peruvian type-5 exorcism on yourself! Mm-hmm. But listen, listen, once you've tied yourself to the chair, it's very difficult to do that to the cat even if you could catch it."
"Ghostbusters. Oh, hi. Are you serious, they did? Brent and Donna? He did?! Ugh, with Dylan right there?! What did Steve say? (gasps) You're kidding! Ugh, I know. The little tramp. Right. Right… I don't think so. Mmm, mm-hmm. Alright. Goodbye."

"Hello, Ghostbusters. Yes. I don't think so. No. It didn't just stop working and it doesn't need toner! It literally exploded… after it screamed obscenities at me. No, I don't think the nature of our business has anything at all to do with whether or not you honor your product's warranty. Uh huh. So what you're telling me is that none of your other copiers that you've sold throughout the entire world have screamed and exploded before breaking down? Uh huh. Sir, I have to tell you that I find that very hard to believe. They are willing to believe you…but I wasn't born yesterday. No. Goodbye."
"Ghostbusters. No. Mmm, mm-hmm. Okay. So cancel next Thursday then. But I ordered seven cases of Holy Water and you send an additional seven cases of… what is this stuff…?…"Dragon Blood"? Please. This is one of those bait and switch jobs, isn't it? Listen, seriously. This is not the company you want to fool with, Sir. Ghosts can be introduced into an environment just as easily as they can be extracted. And we just got in a couple of, let's see here… Large Taiwanese Terror Demons and… what? Keep the Dragon Blood free of charge? It's a gift? That's very nice of you. We'll do that. Alright. Thank you so much for calling."

"Hello. Mmm, mm hmm. Oh you don't know the half of it. They have been racing in and out of here since that shockwave hit. How would I know? I'm just here trying to keep the lights on. Sure, I can ask what's going on but then they might actually tell me. What? Yeah I'd say it's pretty big. That shnook from the city isn't helping ease the tension either. Anyway. Going away for Thanksgiving might be on hold until things settle down…yeah, I know. But, we have to roll the Ghostbusters' way. Don't ask. Alright. Goodbye."
"Hello, Ghostbusters. Oh yes, they're very busy right now. No. For the foreseeable future they are not available for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, debutante balls, proms, supermarket openings, half-time shows, company retreats, car washes, book signings, talk show appearances or productivity seminars. And they definitely don't do birthday parties. Not at the present time. No. Goodbye."

"Oh, hi. Really? Mm-hmm. So I told him that if they start evacuating Manhattan, that I don't plan on coming in on Monday. And he says…and he says I've already used all my floating holidays this year… Right? I tell him, "Dr. Venkman. Catastrophic exodus of the city doesn't count as a floating holiday." No, it doesn't. I looked it up. So he hands me the employee handbook and tells me to look again, and that what is and isn't covered is very clearly defined. What? Yeah it was in there! In his handwriting…in pencil! He wrote it in when he asked me to get his coffee. Anyway. I can take a half-day on Monday if they evacuate the city. Alright. Goodbye."
"Oh, hi. Mm-hmm. Well, if they go ahead with this franchise thing, I can tell you one thing – I am not shlepping out to Brooklyn or Philadelphia or God knows where every time someone needs a fresh pot of coffee. Right. Right… Thank you. Goodbye."
