Quotes

Ray Stantz: Peter's helmet will amplify his psycho-imprints; now that the ghost is so close, it won't be able to resist.
Kate: Isn't that dangerous?
Ray Stantz: Peter understands the risk. But he knows it's a great plan.
Peter Venkman (adjusting the helmet): This is a really stupid plan.

Ray Stantz: The eagle is landing! The eagle is landing!!
Egon Spengler: I wish you wouldn't be so mellow dramatic Ray, this is just a simple ectoplasmic manifestation of 12.5 on the flumarian scale. Not a ride at DisneyLand.
Ray Stantz: Oh. Sorry Egon.
