Original subtitles

Direct from his tomb, deep in a Latin American jungle,

it's Cohila, Incan Lord of Evil.

Legend says this is a magic talisman

buried with Cohila to make sure he stays put.

I say, this is 10 million bucks.

Maybe we should put it back.

Pit. Why?

[rumbling]

[growling]

[roars]

[both] No!

[coughing]

[monsters roars]

[men screaming]

What a lovely place to build...

a hive.

[foreboding music playing]

Its face, I'll never forget it.

Yeah? I'll never forget we left 10 million bucks on that ship.

That's what I'll never forget. That-- [grunts]

What? What is it?

Heartburn or something.

[groaning]

[yelling]

Cohila.

[yells]

So, Egon, how about we go to dinner tonight?

Just you and me.

There's this trendy new restaurant.

Janine, do you realize the average New York restaurant kitchen

is brimming with bacteria and insect droppings?

Hmm.

[light-hearted music playing]

[sighs] It'd be a lot easier with Egon

if love were something he could see under a microscope.

[Egon] Amazing. These paramecium are mating.

Don't take it personally.

It's just that Egon's first love will always be science.

[rings]

Ghostbusters. Right away.

-[bell ringing] -Let's roll.

Bugs? We're Ghostbusters, not exterminators.

But they came out of his mouth.

[man wheezing]

Yeah? Just what are you feeding people in here?

[pensive music playing]

We won't get anything out of him.

So to speak.

The bugs were everywhere. Big ones. With faces.

That was the sick part. It was like they were part human.

So where are they?

They just disappeared. Except the one I squashed.

[Roland] It's ecto.

Let me see.

Eduardo, don't get too close.

Whoa, it's got a face, all right.

But it ain't human.

[yelling]

Get it off!

Come on, come on, give me a clear shot.

Don't even think about it.

-You're history. -Eduardo, no.

Most bugs have hive mentality.

This one could lead us to the rest of them.

You mean, we follow it?

[man 1] Hey, get out of the way.

-[woman] I can't move. -[man 2] Out of the way.

What are you doing?

-[tires screech] -Hey, I'm walking here.

I tell you, that bug's trying to kill us.

[Cohila] Come to me, legions.

Soon we will be an army.

Which means we must find a queen to tend our hive.

The city's filled with potential mates.

[horns honking]

Of which she seems to be most promising.

We followed it through the sewer, almost got munched in traffic.

Now we gotta climb a wall? I've had it.

[Cohila roaring]

Garrett, Papa Grande's all yours.

[grunts] Nice try, pachuco.

[Kylie grunting]

She's not worthy to be my queen.

-[gasps] -[dramatic music playing]

-Over here, la cucaracha. -[device powering up]

That's right. I got your bug zapper right...

[Cohila] Come, legions.

We have no time for pests.

Not so fast.

-He's talented. -For a bug.

Did they get away?

Most of them.

[Eduardo] Hello? Can somebody get me out of here?

[light-hearted music playing]

[sighs] Do you think Egon would pay me that much attention

if I had six legs?

What? I'm sorry, I was looking at the insect.

So we've got a big bug creature

and a bunch of bugs that came out of some guy's mouth.

How do you think they got in there?

Ugh. Last time I sleep with my mouth open.

One thing's for sure, it's very hostile.

[chittering]

[coughing] What's it doing?

[Kylie] It's burning my eyes.

That smell.

Eduardo cut one.

Eduardo.

Shut up.

It could be sending out a distress signal.

You mean, Papa Grande will know where we live?

Man, this is bad news.

He can lift a car, you know.

[pensive music playing]

[coughing, then gasps]

What is it?

It's just a spider.

Hey, a bug is a bug.

He's harmless.

You should be ashamed of yourself, bully.

[Cohila] Finally, I have found my queen.

[light-hearted music playing]

Hey, Charlotte. Nice web. Oh!

I believe this belongs to you.

I believe you believed right. Thanks.

[tender music playing]

You were admiring the spider's web.

You're perceptive.

You're beautiful.

For a perceptive guy, you need glasses.

All I need is to be in your company tonight.

Are you free, uh...?

Janine. Janine Melnitz.

Who wants to know?

My name is Gregor. Gregor Samsa.

I would like to dine with you at Chez Petite Chateau.

Janine.

Thanks,

but rich, handsome Julio Iglesias clones aren't my type.

It's a low self-esteem thing.

Oh, so there's another man in your life?

Yes, there is.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know I exist.

Yet.

You know what, Greg?

I will meet you at the restaurant.

At 8.

It's a date.

Uh...

Slimer, open the window. The bug is emitting another scent.

It's not the bug, Egon.

It's my perfume. The perfume I'm wearing on my date.

You're going on a date?

You jealous?

Don't you remember what I told you about New York restaurant kitchens?

[groans]

[woman] Clearly, the patient inhaled insect spores.

Most likely Latin American in origin.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

The bug demon's using humans as incubators?

What if he's infected more than just one person?

You mean, he's trying to grow an entire army or something?

Everyone in Manhattan could be carrying these things in their lungs.

[chuckles] Miss, I assure you, this was an aberration.

A freak accident.

The patient probably ate an infected piece of fruit.

Whoa. I'm never eating fruit again.

[woman on PA] Dr. Forest, dial 182, please.

One moment.

[pensive music playing]

-What is it? -I've never seen anything like it.

Put this man in quarantine.

[man] Cohila!

[man yelling]

Oh, my.

Must be a lot of bad fruit going around.

Come, legions.

Up there?

I don't think it's wheelchair accessible.

[device beeping]

[groans] Garrett, we lost him.

Ghostbusters, it's Egon. I have some developments.

Report back to the firehouse.

What am I doing waiting for this guy?

I don't even want to be here.

Janine.

Oh, hi.

And Egon said, there's all sorts of bug droppings in restaurant kitchens.

For Egon's information,

that's because bugs are intelligent survivors

who know where to find food.

Most can carry 20 times their body weight,

have great physical stamina.

In fact, I believe bugs will inherit the Earth.

Perhaps sooner than later.

I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.

Greg, ever been inside a firehouse?

It seems there's a sudden epidemic of familiar symptoms.

The media's calling this an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease.

I have some information which may bring us one step closer

to understanding what we're dealing with.

Egon, I'd like you to meet Greg.

Greg Samsa. He's my date.

Good evening.

Janine has told me all too much about you, Egon.

Greg and I have a lot in common.

We're both Scorpios,

we both like the Beatles, and we both want children.

Yes. Billions.

I'm really glad Janine likes him.

I didn't really see her going for that type.

What do you mean?

I'm trying to figure out what he sees in Janine.

Maybe Janine's just trying to make someone jealous.

Uh, Egon, why don't you explain what you're working on to Greg?

I'm sorry, but I can't do that right now, Janine.

We are in the middle of a possible Code Red.

Oh, I'm sorry. I had no idea.

Come on, Greg. Tour's over.

-[Janine grunts] -Ahh.

A fascinating specimen you have here.

But don't you think it's cruel to trap a living thing?

That's not just any living thing.

It tried to eat my face.

That tiny thing?

Tiny and evil.

Hey, look at him go. I think he likes you.

Well, you should reconsider.

After all, Egon,

you never know when the situation could be reversed.

Come on, Greg, let's get you a cab.

I agree, Slimer. Janine can do much better.

Anyway, what I discovered is this.

An Incan legend refers to a breed of devil bug.

Their powerful king, the insect demon Cohila,

has the ability to assume human form for the purpose of seducing a mate.

So if our bug man's on his way to amassing his hive,

he could be looking for his queen.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Can't be.

That bug sure seemed happy to see him.

[Eduardo] You mean the bug that's gone?

[pensive music playing]

Janine, can I see you again?

Mm... I don't think so, Greg.

To be honest, I was, well, using you to make Egon jealous.

As if.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Don't worry about it, Janine.

Bugs don't have feelings.

[growling]

[screams]

She's gone.

And this place is still buzzing. We'd better find them.

I'm coming too. This time, it's personal.

...

[groaning]

Behold, my army.

Welcome your new queen.

[whimpering]

[screaming]

[device beeping]

Cohila's generous. Left quite an ecto trail.

What do you think, Sarge? Janine on board with the bug man?

Let's find out.

[Cohila] It is happening, Janine.

Do you feel it?

I feel strange.

What you feel

is the sensation of your humanity being erased, bit by bit.

The sensation of every cell in your body

making a wondrous transformation so that you may be my queen.

Ah. Your minions bring an offering.

[pensive music playing]

-Royal jelly for you to eat. -Oh...

[crunching]

[Eduardo] Lot of dry leaves in here.

[Roland] I don't think they're leaves.

[all gasp]

We gotta do something.

They're in my pants.

Easy, Eduardo. Don't make any sudden moves.

We've walked right into his hive.

[Cohila] Our hive now, Egon.

You're just in time for me to introduce my new queen.

Egon?

Janine.

In a former life.

Your Janine is but a memory. So cherish it.

I'll give him something to cherish.

I'm ready to receive.

Everybody, fire on three.

Three!

[Cohila laughing]

As you can see, my legions think with one mind.

My mind.

We will continue to multiply

until your entire city becomes my hive.

Which my queen will help me rule.

Funny how Janine seems to have forgotten all about you, Egon.

Egon?

There's a part of Janine still in there.

Let Janine know your true feelings.

Go on. You know what I mean.

Right. [clears throat]

Janine, it's me, Egon.

Egon?

You must come back.

We'll never find another office manager like you.

No, no. Tell her you love her.

-Is that appropriate? -Do it.

Janine, I... love you.

You wanna press your lips to hers.

Uh... I want to press my lips to yours.

Egon?

No. You're mine.

Keep going, Egon. It's working.

That's it, Janine. Kiss me.

Uh... Give me some sugar, baby.

Egon.

You're not human.

You're an insect. Your place is with the hive.

I am not human. I am an insect.

My place is with the hive.

Please, Janine, don't leave me.

[grunting]

Egon!

[chuckling] Goodbye, Egon.

You never knew she existed, and now she doesn't.

Come to me, my queen. Rule with me.

Eat royal jelly.

Eat this.

[roars]

The old switcheroo.

[shrieking]

They checked in, they won't check out.

Janine, are you all right?

I've looked worse.

[light-hearted music playing]

Janine, I'm very glad you're back.

Glad to be back.

I'll take that kiss now.

Oh... [chuckles]

That.

Well, you see, that was just part of the plan.

I was attempting to break Cohila's psychic grip on you by...

Think about that next time I ask you to dinner.

Do you think Janine might actually have a crush on me?

Maybe you should ask her on a date and find out.

Well, I wouldn't wanna rush into anything.

You've got to play these things cool.

[spooky music playing]
