I’ve always loved that little moment in Ghostbusters 2 when the guys do the “two in the box, ready to go, we be fast and they be slow” line. I’ve always thought it was super cool. Kind of badass.
Does anyone know the genesis of it? Was it something that ever existed outside of the franchise? It seems almost random that the guys have this saying. Almost like they are recalling some slogan from a commercial.
Is the idea that they use to say this all the time as working Ghostbusters before getting shut down? Or do you think within the movies reality the guys are just randomly ad libbing this moment together?(not the actors but the characters. So Ray, Peter & Egon are just riffing in the court room, not Dan, Harold & Bill). I know that’s over analyzing a simple cool throw away gag but what else is this place for? Lol
What do you think about the line? Does it come off as an attempt at quote baiting like “oooh this will be a great T-Shirt line”? Or does it work for you the way it works for me? It’s kind of hard for me to be unbiased about it. As a kid I use to say this phrase ALL the time. It just sounded so awesome. If it was written I have a feeling it’s a Dan Aykroyd line. It just has that kind of sing song element. But that’s just a guess.
