Ernie Hudson credited as playing...
Winston Zeddemore
- [the Ghostbusters arrive at the Sedgewick Hotel, which seems to be empty]
- Winston Zeddemore: Whoa. If this place were any more dead, we'd need a coroner.
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: Egon used to be a licensed coroner.
- Winston Zeddemore: No kidding?
- Dr. Egon Spengler: It's just a hobby now.
- Dr. Egon Spengler: [over radio] I wanted to test these first, but since we're waiving that safety step today anyway, you should be aware that I modified the Neutrona Wand which normally releases the particle stream.
- Winston Zeddemore: Wow! It's like Christmas came early!
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: [over radio] Earlier than what? They started Christmas before Halloween this year! Santa came to my house dressed as Dracula!
- Winston Zeddemore: [as they drive towards a "situation" while others run away] Just *once*, I wouldn't mind running with these other fools *away* from the trouble.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Where's the fun in that?
- Winston Zeddemore: [after the rookie uses his proton stream to slam a ghost in to a wall, floor or ghost trap] *Nobody* messes with the kid!
- Winston Zeddemore: [after the rookie uses his proton stream to slam a ghost in to a wall, floor or ghost trap] You're playing hardball, rook!
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: [looking at the Mandala map in the library] You thinking what I'm thinking?
- Winston Zeddemore: Thin crust, New York style with no visible anchovies.
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: Maybe later. Right now I need to go back to the lab and take a look at this Codex.
- Dr. Egon Spengler: And analyze the data we've collected. It could help us when we go to the museum.
- Winston Zeddemore: Slice to go on the way? Rookie's treat?
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: [referring to the Mandala] And we need to know what this is.
- Winston Zeddemore: I'll call for a delivery. Again.
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: [examining the symbol] It's not a constellation. It's a mandala.
- Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: I can't believe I never saw it before.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: For one minute, pretend someone here doesn't know what a mandala is.
- Dr. Egon Spengler: A mandala is like a spiritual labyrinth.
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: And this one looks like a spiraling system that feeds into each successive node along the line until it reaches culmination point. Before he died, Shandor must have set some mechanism in place, similar to the antennae in Dana's building.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Y'know I think you helped to make that clear. So this was the gizmo that's supposed to feed energy to the Destructor form?
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: That's... that's right, Peter!
- Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Well, Dr. Venkman.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Well, I had to get one right eventually, didn't I?
- Dr. Egon Spengler: Alright, I'm just speculating, but it's possible ghosts are trapped in the system, funneling from node to node and they get stronger and stronger until they reach the end and then they...
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: [pointing at the map] Look. The first portal, the library. The second, the museum. And the third, the Sedewick.
- Dr. Egon Spengler: And that means the fourth portal must be right... here.
- Winston Zeddemore: The middle of the Hudson River?
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: Well, according to the Mandala, yes.
- Dr. Egon Spengler: It may need a little tweaking.
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: [during the credits] Looks like things are going to be a little slow around here for a while.
- Winston Zeddemore: Which means we might be heavy by one too many Ghostbusters in New York.
- Dr. Ilyssa Selwyn: Wait, you're not gonna fire him after everything he's done?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: No, of course not. Louis has been scouting locations, and I think we're prepared to offer a potentially lucrative Ghostbusters franchise in either Chicago, Los Angeles, or Cincinnati. I'll pick.
- Dr. Egon Spengler: So, are you prepared to expand the Ghostbusters family on a semi-equivocal basis and be your own boss?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: And wear a very cool uniform.
- Winston Zeddemore: Financing is available.
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: So cadet, what do you say?
