Quotes

Peter Venkman: Doesn't bother me. Christmas is just another day.
Peter Venkman: You were suppose to learn that just because you had a rotten past that's no reason to blame Christmas. Lots of us had Christmases that weren't the best, but if you give up, you just end up denying yourself what your so mad about never having had before.
I think maybe that's a lesson we can all stand to learn.

Egon: "Specially what our client will say after what happened."
Ray: "It's not my fault, i told her to keep her cat out of the way, it's not like the fur won't grow back or anything."


Peter: Your pulse seems normal, sure you haven't hit your head?


Egon: This is going to be very difficult Janine, i'll need your help.
Janine: OK Egon, so you know as long as i am doing this for you and not this chr-chr-chr-
Egon: Christmas
Janine: Bah Humbug
Egon: Christmas
Janine: Humbug!
Egon: Facsicating
