"Dropping off or picking up?"
"Dropping off."
"Jennine, someone with your unique qualifications should have no trouble at all finding a job in either the food service or house keeping indistries. Want to get [the ringing phone]?"
I've quit better jobs than this. [answers phone] (flippantly) Ghostbusters, what do you want?"
It's interesting Jennine went from a mousy, book-reading, plain secretary in GB1, to a dim, overly late 80s/early 90s, bimboish more "sterotypical" secretary in GB2." The latter was probably a poor attempt at making Jennine more like her cartoon counterpart who was, well, hot but she was still a bit brighter and spunkier than the GB2 version of Jennine who fed french-bread pizza to a 1 year-old and made out with Louis Tully!
[Peter] "You're never going to regret this, Ray!"
[Ray] "My parents left me that house! I was born there!"
You're not going to lose the house. Everybody has three mortgages nowadays."
"But at nineteen percent?! You didn't even bargain with the guy "
[Egon] "Ray, for your information, the interest rate alone for the first five years comes to $95,000."
[Peter] "Will you guys relax? We are on the threshold of establishing the indispensable defense science of the next decade. Professional paranormal investigations and eliminations. The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams."
[Peter] "So, Egon, what do you think?"
"I think this building ought to be condemned. There's serious stress in all of the load-bearing members, the wiring is substandrd, completely inadequate for our power needs and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone."
[Ray] "Hey! Does thos pole still work?" (slides down fire-pole) "This place is great! You gotta try this poll! I'm going to get my stuff. (Rushes up stairs, stops halfway up the stairs) You know. We should sleep here, tonight. You know, try it out!"
[Peter, to real-estate agent] "I think we'll take it."

Ramis went into that a bit in the audio commentary on the DVD. There was a lot more of the "romance" subplot that was excised from the movie (in both the scripting and the editing stages), after everyone realized that it really wasn't working at all.
Was I the only one who found Janine smoking hot in "Ghostbusters 2?"
She was more attractive than her GB1 self and Annie Potts is an attractive enough woman (back then) but "smoking hot" not so sure.
But I really think she's a very different character. In GB1 she's a sharp and mousy secretary. In GB2 she's something else entirely.
Ghostbusters is one of my favourite movies of all time...loaded with great dialouge and quotes! The audio commentary is an interesting listen if you get a chance to listen...haven't seen the video commentary from the first DVD release, I wonder if they're the same thing.
"We got one!!!!!"
Ghostbusters 2 has some moments but not as many or as great as the original movie...I wonder how a Ghostbuster's III would be like? I read years ago the Hell story and didn't really like it that much. I hope if Ramis and Ackroyd get together and write another one they use a different plot. I'm also looking forward to the Ghosbusters video game and hope that it gets released.

So I'm watching GB2 and I've got to admit it's not my idea of what a sequel should've been.
First of all, I didn't like the plot with the GBs being out of business and then having to go back INTO business. It seemed odd.
It seemed odd, and dumb, that when they went back into business their company's logo even had the "2" fingers.
I also think it would've been interesting if Oscar, Dana's baby, would've been Vince's son (the spirit that takes over Louis in the first movie). Obviously the child would have to be 5 -or the movie take place a year after the first and 4 years before the movie was released- but I think it would've made an interesting dynamic had it been what driven the tension and plot of the movie rather than the Vigo stuff.
I've already made pretty good mention on my feelings on the changes with Janinne and her rommance with Tully.
But, hey, we did get to see Sigorney Weaver in her bra!

I think it made sense, she was very into "the time". I mean, in the first one she was an "80's power woman", by the second one she had latched onto the just braking "valley girl" trend... It always seemed to me like that anyway.
Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis are scripting the story for the game, and are reprising their roles with Bill Murry, Erine Hudson, and Annie Potts as their charecters in image and voice. And Ramis and Ackroyd have said that this game will be a direct seaquel story wise to the movies...
That wasn't "Vince"...it was Vinz Glortho!
God, the things you remember for no good reason at all!
Hey Vinz, would you like some coffee?
[Egon is running tests on Louis, who has been possessed by Gozer and is now the Keymaster]
Dr. Egon Spengler: Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?
Louis: Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

Yes, Have some...
I LOVE the first movie (my all-time favorite, besides RoboCop and Airplane) and was watching some of the second one on Bravo last night, and I think I finally realized what was wrong with it.
It's Bill Murray.
In the first movie, he's vibrant, a smart ass, and he's basically the spokesperson for the Ghostbusters. In part two, he's just an asshole, he's not even IN the uniform or has a proton pack on for the most part, and he looks bored in every scene he's in. The Dana scenes seem thrown in there just to give Murray more screen time than the rest of the busters.
I thought I remembered reading that Bill Murray was reluctant to doing a sequel, and it's definitely obvious from his performance in this movie that he didn't want to do it.

Thanks. I had thought I'd read that somewhere and wasn't sure.
