Winston Zeddemore: "Whoa. If this place were any more dead, we'd need a coroner."
Ray Stantz: "Egon used to be a licensed coroner."
Winston Zeddemore: "No kidding?"
Egon Spengler: "It's just a hobby now."
Winston Zeddemore: "Closed until further notice by the Paranormal Contracts Oversight Commission. Entrance into this establishment is strictly forbidden and is punishable by fine and imprisonment."
Egon Spengler: "What now? Hmm."
Ray Stantz: "This notice is for the general public. It doesn't apply to us. We're bonded contractors for the city!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Especially the Ghostbusters."
Winston Zeddemore: "It's an ambush! Get 'em hot!"
Ray Stantz: "Wait a minute… wait! I don't think they're a threat. They may only be residual hauntings."
Egon Spengler: "I think Ray's right. They haven't crossed entirely into this dimension. They're just psycho-kinetic echoes. Ghosts of ghosts. Completely harmless."
Winston Zeddemore: "Great. I was hoping to meet a friendly ghost some day, but I'll settle for harmless right now."
Ray Stantz: "Ilyssa said she was called to the 12th floor. Let's start there."
Winston Zeddemore: "Nothing."
Winston Zeddemore: "Over there! C'mon!"
Ray Stantz: "This is just how a Level Five Anchored Ambusher lures you in!"
Hotel Manager: "Go…ghosts… Mmm…monsters…everywhere!"
Ray Stantz: "The Manager? What are you doing here?"
Hotel Manager: "I came back last night to retrieve some payroll records, but the hotel won't let me out! The doors shut on me! And the phones are down too."
Winston Zeddemore: "That means we're trapped now too. And we have to hope that Peter figures out we're missing? There goes the weekend."
Egon Spengler: "Not necessarily. The 12th floor is apparently the core of this node. If we can get the power back on, we can take the elevators."
Winston Zeddemore: "If the elevators don't eat us."
Egon Spengler: "Yes, if the elevators don't eat us."
Ray Stantz: "More of them!"
Winston Zeddemore: "They're gone."
Hotel Manager: "There's a backup generator in the utility room off the kitchen. It's for emergency blackouts."
Ray Stantz: "Perfect. Let's give it a try. To the kitchen!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Someone you know?"
Hotel Manager: "I…don't know. Most of the old staff knows the story of the Spider Witch, a professional widow who did unimaginable things in a room on the 12th floor back in the 1920's."
Ray Stantz: "Amazing! How often does she manifest inside the hotel? Has she ever made physical contact? I can't believe I've never heard of her before!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Don't mind him. He's passionate about his work."
Egon Spengler: "Ray, I have a feeling we're about to have as much contact with her as we'd ever want. The fluxes around her were at max. She may very well be the focal point for all this activity."
Ray Stantz: "Watch out!"
Winston Zeddemore: "Right! Now, let's find that back-up generator."
Ray Stantz: "Looks like the way into the kitchen is blocked. Can't get in through here."
Egon Spengler: "There's an entrance from the ballroom. C'mon! Keep moving!"
Hotel Manager: "The Ruby Ballroom! It's ruined!"
Ray Stantz: "Naw-naw. A little spackle and paint…she'll be good as new."
Winston Zeddemore: "Yeah, we could have our Christmas party here."
Ray Stantz: "Before we put down the deposit, let's see if there's going to be a Christmas."
Egon Spengler: "Or a 'here.'"
Ray Stantz: "The kitchen. Is it through here?"
Egon Spengler: "Yes, just down the hall."
Ray Stantz: "Let's move!"
Ray Stantz: "Alright guys, spread out. The utility room should be around here somewhere."
Winston Zeddemore: "In some dark, scary corner."
Egon Spengler: "I know I've said this before, but be careful. I don't think we're alone."
Ray Stantz: "Look! Cadet found the emergency generator!"
Ray Stantz: "Ah! Sweet music!"
Egon Spengler: "The elevators should be working. Unless something…nevermind. Let's get back to the lobby."
Ray Stantz: "We gotta find a way out of here. Which way?"
Winston Zeddemore: "Again?!"
Egon Spengler: "I suspect they'll continue to manifest as long as this node is active."
Egon Spengler: "Okay, it looks like the psycho-mass has come to rest about 190 feet above our heads."
Ray Stantz: "The 13th Floor."
Hotel Manager: "This hotel has no 13th floor! None of the grand old hotels do!"
Ray Stantz: "We'll split the difference. Egon, you and the Tenderfoot go to the 12th floor. Winston and I will check out the 14th. Sir, if you'll please come with us."
Winston Zeddemore: "Egon, what were you saying earlier about the mandala node?"
Egon Spengler: "Okay. Think of the mandala as a city bus line. At the bus station, ghosts, or waiting passengers, are drawn into the system here and trapped. This concentrates their PK energy which is then eventually forced through to the next node, or "station," and so on, until it all ends at a final terminus. At each successive bus station, the station manager absorbs some of the energy. This makes the station manager, or Node Guardian, stronger, so that it can keep the ghosts in line and destroy anyone who comes to the station to interfere with the flow. These nodes or bus stations gather the power used to feed a central point thus creating a much bigger threat to our world. Does that make more sense now?"
Winston Zeddemore: "Remind me not to take the bus in Egon's neighborhood."
Ray Stantz: "Yeah, you were going strong right up until the passengers for trapped inside the bus station."
Victim: "I say, young lady, you are full of surprises! After you my dear!"
Egon Spengler: "Well. That was terrifying."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Egon. What happened? We lost you for a minute there."
Egon Spengler: "We had a close contact."
Egon Spengler: "Ray! Come in!"
Ray Stantz on radio: "Yeah, what's up?"
Egon Spengler: "What was the Spider Witch's room number?"
Hotel Manager on radio: "1221. After her spree, it was locked up. Until about five years ago when we remodeled."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Hear that? Room 1221. I think that…Hey!… The man and woman from the elevator appear in the hallway. She is once again whispering in his ear."
Egon Spengler: "Good thinking! It was here all along."
Egon Spengler: "Looks like we've crossed over! We're back in the ghostworld!"
Egon Spengler: "I don't like the look of this, but we've run out of options."
Egon Spengler: "Oh, perfect. Another elevator."
Ray Stantz on radio: "Egon! What happened? You alright?"
Egon Spengler: "The Recruit found the 13th Floor and we shut it down. P.K.E. levels are back to acceptable parameters. This node of the mandala is fully neutronized."
Winston Zeddemore on radio: "Alright!"
Egon Spengler: "Looks like we're back in the Ruby Ballroom. We'll meet you at Ecto-1."
Egon Spengler: "Alright, I'm just speculating but it's possible Ghosts are trapped in the system, funneled from node to node, and they get stronger and stronger, until they reach the end, and then they…"
Ray Stantz: "Look! The first portal…the library. The second…the museum. And the third…the Sedgewick."
Egon Spengler: "And that means the fourth portal must be… right…here."
Winston Zeddemore: "The middle of the Hudson River?"
Ray Stantz: "Well, according to the mandala, yes."
Egon Spengler: "It may need a little tweaking."
Winston Zeddemore: "I don't know, there's plenty of bodies dumped in that river to become ghosts."
Egon Spengler: "It's the final node. Close it and we seal the Mandala, trapping the ghosts inside."
