Winston Zeddemore: "What's the story behind this place, Egon?"
Egon Spengler: "The Shandors owned this island for generations. The castle was built in the 1860s. Ivo Shandor used it as a refuge, a lab, and a temple for he and other cult members to worship Gozer."
Peter Venkman: "Hmm."
Winston Zeddemore: "Okay, that's all well and good. But can someone explain to me how an entire island sinks?"
Egon Spengler: "The night the last Shandor died, there was a huge tidal surge and the river just swallowed the island while. Shandor consecrated the island to Gozer, and the Ghostworld reclaimed it."
Peter Venkman: "Mm Hm."
Winston Zeddemore: "City's lucky it's in the middle of the river instead of Rockefeller Center."
Egon Spengler: "We're lucky now. But soon the Ghostworld will continue to assert itself into ours, and the damage will be incalculable."
Egon Spengler: "It appears that we need to take that staircase to get inside."
Winston Zeddemore: "That's a big hole, guys. And I am not swimming in the Hudson River in November. So, how do you want to get across?"
Egon Spengler: "Maybe that crane still works."
Peter Venkman: "Well. If you could get that from over there over here…make the world a better place."
Egon Spengler: "Good idea!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Look at that! Rookie moved the crane!"
Egon Spengler: "Alright, swing it around!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Almost! Work it over this way to cover the hole!"
Egon Spengler: "Bring it in! Almost there! Whoa! Great!"
Peter Venkman: "Yo! New guy!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Good work!"
Peter Venkman: "Head's up!"
Peter Venkman: "What's with you? You know we only get paid if we live."
Egon Spengler: "Recruit, you okay? Let's keep moving."
Peter Venkman: "Careful, we don't wear helmets."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Guys? There's way too much dangerous debris falling in here. I've gotta take Marine Ecto-8 out where it's safer."
Winston Zeddemore: "(whistles) Check this joint out!"
Egon Spengler: "That's a three million dollar view, even by Manhattan standards."
Peter Venkman: "My apartment used to look like this."
Egon Spengler: "Shandor's public architectural style ranged from Federal to Art Deco. His personal tastes, however, obviously leaned toward the Gozerian."
Winston Zeddemore: "Oh, now I see what they mean by early demonic."
Winston Zeddemore: "Hey! We know those guys."
Egon Spengler: "That explains why they attacked us in Times Square: they're gargoyles from Shandor buildings."
Winston Zeddemore: "Guess Ivo would be tickled pink to know his old security system still works so long after he died."
Winston Zeddemore: "Look. The doors controlled by that chain!"
Peter Venkman: "Hey you. You're up, buddy!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Well there's still one crank that works down here. Try using it to open the door."
Egon Spengler: "Wind the chain!"
Winston Zeddemore: "That did it! The door's wide open! Get back up here!"
Peter Venkman: "Yeah, that'll work."
Egon Spengler: "Hm. I take it we're not welcome."
Winston Zeddemore: "Ilyssa. I see her."
Peter Venkman: "You and me both. She's wearing just a simple terrycloth robe. And she's brought me coffee."
Winston Zeddemore: "That's her, all right. Splitting image."
Winston Zeddemore: "Wait. What? Ilyssa is a Shandor?"
Peter Venkman: "Why does this always happen to me? I meet a girl. She's crazy about me. But she always turns out to be some kind of unbelievable fixer upper!"
Egon Spengler: "This is all making sense. Ilyssa must have inadvertently triggered the Mandala because she has Shandor blood."
Peter Venkman: "She doesn't know it. When I did her profile, she told me she was adopted."
Winston Zeddemore: "Some coincidence, huh?"
Peter Venkman: "You don't really believe this happened by accident?"
Winston Zeddemore: "No. Someone must have known and set this up."
Egon Spengler: "The Mayor did say that Peck personally recommended Ilyssa to be the guest curator of the Gozer Exhibit."
Egon Spengler: "The supports are waterlogged, the mortar is decrepit, and the foundation is shattered. In purely physical terms, there's no way all this can still be standing."
Winston Zeddemore: "You sound like you're surprised."
Ray Stantz on radio: "You can't deny the pure genius of Shandor, it's a pity that it was all used for evil. If he would have just channeled some of it for good, the things he could have done."
Egon Spengler: "Posthumous Black Mass."
Winston Zeddemore: "What? People still worshiping? Even after they're dead? That's a powerful church, man."
Egon Spengler: "That might explain how these structures are still standing!"
Ray Stantz on radio: "Oh yeah! Ethereal stability induced by sheer focused concentration of posthumous will! Unbelievable!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Yeah, right. 'Unbelievable.' What's unbelievable is that you can still use that word in context."
Peter Venkman: "This is gravy."
Winston Zeddemore: "It is officially time for us to go."
Winston Zeddemore: "(whistles) Check this joint out!"
Egon Spengler: "Unless my sensory array is malfunctioning, that is definitely the place we're looking for."
Peter Venkman: "Hey, where'd the caddy go? Yo! Cool-breeze! Come on out!"
Egon Spengler: "Peter! Behind you!"
Winston Zeddemore: "No! Get back! Take your imaginary hands off me, man!"
Egon Spengler: "No! There's too many of them!"
Ray Stantz on radio: "Okay you need to get to the others so they can help you, please be careful we don't know what we are dealing with yet, but it sounds big and when big things attack it hurts."
Egon Spengler on radio: "I think I hear you guys. Yes, that sounds like my equipment. You are getting close."
Egon Spengler: "Get me out of this thing. I don't want to be eaten by black slime."
Winston Zeddemore: "Egon, hang on, we are almost to you!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Well..you know…"
Egon Spengler: "Have you looked for him?"
Winston Zeddemore: "Well..you know…"
Egon Spengler: "The meter seems to indicate that he's somewhere in this direction"
Winston Zeddemore: "Stay in the light, Egon."
Egon Spengler: "I'm trying, Winston."
Winston Zeddemore: "Should we try to find Peter, or…?"
Egon Spengler: "They probably stashed him around here somewhere."
Winston Zeddemore: "Shh! I think I hear him!"
Peter Venkman: "Did somebody call a break?"
Egon Spengler: "We need to be at full strength to shut down this Node."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Way to go! I feel a momentum swing in our favor, get out there and find the mandala node and shut it down. That should really piss someone off."
Peter Venkman: "Hey. I got places to go, people to meet. Can we move outta here?"
Ray Stantz on radio: "Great job kid, glad to hear Peter is okay!"
Winston Zeddemore: "What are they doing?"
Winston Zeddemore: "I for one do not want the dimensions to align. Not this close to Christmas."
Egon Spengler: "That would put a damper on the holidays."
Winston Zeddemore: "How do we shut that thing down?"
Egon Spengler: "The motion of those devices seems to be generating some sort of energy. Hard to tell, though."
Winston Zeddemore: "What if we tried locking those things down?"
Egon Spengler: "I can calculate 54 likely outcomes. We'd survive 3 of them."
Winston Zeddemore: "That beats our usual odds."
Egon Spengler: "Unfortunately, you're correct. Let's do it."
Winston Zeddemore: "I wasn't that curious! The whole room's filling up! Get to higher ground!"
Egon Spengler: "Alright, gentlemen. It's official: this was a bad idea."
Peter Venkman: "Shh! Here comes the big finale."
Winston Zeddemore: "Ugh! The stench is horrible!"
Egon Spengler: "A putrid mass of hatred, bile, and anger."
Winston Zeddemore: "Not exactly Mr. Sunshine is he?"
Peter Venkman: "This is the part where we do what we do! Blow it back to the cradle."
Egon Spengler: "Get him in the eyes!"
Winston Zeddemore: "It's got to be vulnerable somewhere!"
Egon Spengler: "Statistically speaking, that's not entirely accurate!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Statistically speaking, we better hope it is!"
Egon Spengler: "Okay! Fair enough! What about that that inaccessible anterior nodule?"
Winston Zeddemore: "The glowy thing on its head? That is its head, isn't it?"
Egon Spengler: "I'm not sure that matters! How an we get to it?"
Winston Zeddemore: "Hey! Rookie! Run around and look delicious, will you?"
Egon Spengler: "There it is! Concentrate our fire at that node!"
Peter Venkman: "And that is all she wrote."
Egon Spengler: "All the nodes are closed. The ghosts are trapped in the Mandala."
Winston Zeddemore: "Right where they belong! Our boy Ivo Shandor didn't factor in that he was messin' with the Ghostbusters! Ha ha HA!"
Peter Venkman: "Yeah. Peck made the same mistake. We're gonna have a long talk with him."
Egon Spengler: "Don't forget that Peter's girlfriend is a Shandor."
Peter Venkman: "I'm gonna have a…a very long talk with her."
Ray Stantz on radio: "You guys need to get down to the shore, and fast! I don't know how much longer I can hold her – the whole island's sinking!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Ray, keep the motor running! We are coming at you fast!"
Ray Stantz: "How was it!? Was it cool!? What did it look like!? Did you get any samples?! Did it have multiple eyes!?"
Egon Spengler: "SHUT UP!"

Janine Melnitz: "Oh, thank god you're here!"
Ray Stantz: "What's going on, Janine? Where's Ilyssa?"
Janine Melnitz: "She's gone! They took her! One minute everything was fine, the next it was chaos! Ghosts flying everywhere!"
Egon Spengler: "Janine, slow down! Start from the beginning."
Janine Melnitz: "Okay. Well. I was a little late this morning because one of my heels on my favorite pair of pumps broke and Lester's was out of my favorite tea. You know how I love my chamomile. Well, a-and…"
Peter Venkman: "Okay, maybe not the beginning. Start when things went haywire around here?"
Janine Melnitz: "Okay, okay. Somebody jumped me from behind. And before I passed out, I heard Ilyssa struggling and yelling, 'No!' And the last thing I remember was the screams of the dead and damned echoing in my brain!"
Peter Venkman: "So either there was a mass escape from Rikers…"
Egon Spengler: "…or someone shut down our containment grid. Again."
Ray Stantz: "Again?"
Winston Zeddemore: "Just like Peck threatened to do."
Peter Venkman: "It's funny. I always knew that Peck was a pencil-necked bureaucratic prick. But I never pegged him as an evil occultist."
Ray Stantz: "But where did he take her?"
Winston Zeddemore: "And where are all the ghosts? 'Cause, no offense, but if all the ghosts we've ever caught just escaped, I'm clocking out."
Ray Stantz: "Yeah, they would be awfully mad at us."
Winston Zeddemore: "Exactly. It's generally a bad idea for the guards to hang out in the cell blocks just after a prison break."
TV – Male Reporter: "This just in: as authorities continue to supervise the Thanksgiving evacuation of Manhattan, increasingly powerful tremors are rocking Central Park. The question is: where are the Ghostbusters?"
NY News 6: "Disturbance at parade"
Peter Venkman: "Tell you what… Kind of a nice day. Why don't we go to Central Park? Could round up some ghosts, save the girl… get back in time for a nap?"
Ray Stantz: "Okay! The Ghostbusters ride again!"
