There's something strange, in the neighborhood.

We don't call.

There's something weird, and it don't look good.

We don't call.

I ain't afraid of no ghosts.

We don't call.

We now return to the real Ghostbusters.

Three nights in a row, guys. It has to be the same group.

At least it gives us an excuse to keep Winston out

of the station until the you-know-what's ready.

Egon, I don't get it. Why would the Poltergeist go after random targets?

I thought they usually hang out in one place.

Don't they get weaker the further they go? Usually, yes.

But this is very strange.

They shouldn't have the energy for roving attacks, unless they have some source.

Left! Say, Egon, you think we could have a little more warning next time?

Like, not to get personal, of course, but... Right!

Now what were you saying, Peter? Never mind.

Ugh!

Okay, where to now? Left.

It's coming from... there.

They're quick.

Hey, fellas.

Shh! I think I heard something.

What was it? Peter, something...

Hey, guys.

Hmm, looks like the trash wants to take us out.

Now remember, Poltergeists can't actually hurt you.

But trash cans sure can.

Run!

No! Blast them!

Okay, so I saw a Clint Eastwood movie last night and got carried away. Sue me.

It's showtime, folks. Just give me some room.

Ready.

Ready.

Ready.

Ready.

Trouble! Very, very big trouble! Wait a minute.

Didn't I see this in the Wizard of Oz?

Well, guys, look on the bright side. It couldn't possibly get any worse.

I just don't understand it. We shouldn't have lost, but we did.

They were strong, but Poltergeists are supposed

to get weaker the farther they get from home.

Unless they were drawing on some other source of energy.

Or the big one was feeding on all the energy from the small ones.

Exactly. Like hooking more and more batteries to the same line.

Or that sort of power that could go anywhere they want.

Well, the only place I want to go right now is home.

We're taking the long way home or something.

It seems like it's taking us forever.

You think Janine's got everything set up by now?

This'll really make his night.

Janine! Yo, Sliver! Hey, where's everybody?

Happy birthday!

I bet you thought we forgot, didn't you?

I don't believe it. You guys, I thought we were taking a long time.

And there's more to come.

I just want you to know that I'm having a wonderful time.

Look, Winston, it's Blueberry Fudge Cake, your favorite.

Why?

I... I really don't know what to say.

This is the happiest day of my...

Sliver! No! No! No! No!

Sliver! How could you? No, it's okay.

I want to die it anyway.

Hang on a second. No, it's not okay.

We planned this party all week, Slimer.

It means a lot to us, to Winston, and you had to mess it up.

That's not going to make up for it.

Let it go, Peter. What's done is done.

Yeah. It's my party.

After all, Slimer just can't help himself.

Are you kidding?

He helps himself to everything that isn't nailed down or on fire.

But what use is he?

First time I saw you, you slimy.

You've been nothing but trouble since.

So do us all a favor. Cut it out, okay?

You were awfully hard on him, Peter.

I think you hurt his feelings.

Well, he has to learn.

Besides, ghosts don't have feelings.

No? I wonder.

Birthday.

Birthday.

I like the word I never do.

What's that about?

She's holding me in the sky.

No.

Slimer! I'm back!

I brought us some donuts.

Come on, Slimer.

Slimer? Oh, no.

What is it, Janine? Where's the problem?

Right here, Ray.

Slimer's run away from home.

What? What?

If that's it, I'm going back to bed.

Slimer wouldn't leave. He's got too good a deal going here.

Oh, no. You don't think so?

No one likes me.

I'm always doing bad things.

I try, but I can't help it.

So it's better if I leave.

Goodbye forever, Slimer.

Can I see that?

You can read this?

I'm a secretary. I can read anything.

Someone wanted him to go.

Who?

Oh, let me guess. This is all my fault, right?

It doesn't matter whose fault it is. We've got to go after him.

Yeah, we're right behind you, Winston.

We'll split up. That way we can cover the most area.

Aren't you going to look for him?

Who, me? Hey, I'm the guy Slimer, remember? Go after him.

Oh, wait. I've been just robbed.

He helped himself to everything that's not nailed down.

Going somewhere?

Janine, don't do that.

I just thought that maybe, maybe you were going out to look for Slimer.

Who, me? Heck no. I was just going out for a walk. Yeah, that's it, a walk.

In the rain.

Hey, sure thing. New York rain's good for you. Well, I'll see you later.

Just one thing. If you should, happen to find Slimer.

Tell him, tell him we miss him.

Uh, sure.

Slimer!

Slimer! Slimer! Slimer! Slimer!

You two find anything? Same here.

Something not be gone?

Just thinking about those poltergeists we fought earlier.

They're certainly looking for all the ghost energy they can find.

Which means any ghost loose right now may be a target.

Slimer? Exactly.

Let me get this straight. Every time a ghost joins them, their power increases.

They draw on its energy and become more dangerous.

But, Slimer? If I'm right, then even one more ghost might make all the difference.

They'd steal his energy, becoming unbeatable

and terribly, terribly evil. Even Slimer.

Slimer!

Slimer!

Slimer! Slimer!

Slimer! Slimer? Come on, Slimer. Come home. All's forgiven.

Well, most of it.

Hey, I think I got something here.

We'd better split up if we're gonna find Slimer before the poltergeist do.

Agreed.

If we don't, he'll become a part of their evil

as it crosses the country. He'll be gone forever.

Hehehehehehehehe!

Me? Me? Uh-oh.

Well, well.

What's wrong, my man? You lose something?

Hey, maybe we can help you find it. What's it look like?

I'm looking for a full torso ectoplasmic manifestation.

Colored green, no legs, spirit classification, unknown.

Hey, we had it, man. Where'd you let him go?

My dad told me never to mess with anybody weirder than I am.

Oh, yeah.

Why aren't you looking for Slimer?

It's a new theory of mine. Ever notice how if you

go looking for someone, you almost never find them?

Well, I figure if I wait in one place, everybody I ever

met in my entire life will come by sooner or later.

Ray, I think you should know. That's the most ridiculous theory I have ever-.

That's Mrs. Milligan. My second-grade teacher. Hi, Mrs. Milligan.

Ray, I think one of us needs a nice, long vacation.

Come, Mrs. Milligan.

I'll tell my wife. I'll tell my wife.

Now to you.

Now, if I were Slimer, where would I go? It beats me.

Poor guy. I'm almost ready to forgive him for all the times he slimed me. Almost.

Slimer! There you go!

I don't believe it.

He did it to me again.

Hello, fellas. Guess what? I found Slimer. Peter, out.

Slimer's in there. How do you know?

How else do you think this happened? Come on, Peter.

I've seen you eat.

Come. Come. Arise. Join me.

This doesn't look good, guys. We're too late. It started.

What started?

The individual frequencies are merging. All the small ghosts

in there are being absorbed into one big ectoplasmic mess.

If Slimer's in there, and he's already been

absorbed, then we may never be able to separate him.

Meaning that we'll have to zap-trap and contain all of them, Slimer included.

Kind of makes it a perfect day, doesn't it?

Just a joke, fellas. Lighten up. Now let's go get him.

This is it, guys.

All right! Freeze! Oh, boy.

It's got Slimer. If Slimer's in there, we'll never get him out.

I can barely read Slimer's frequency. He's getting weak. We're losing him.

There's just one chance. Set your proton beams at 500,000

MHz. Slimer's frequency. We'll try to yank him out.

I just hope you know what you're doing, Egon.

Because I sure don't.

All right.

Fire! There he is!

And pull!

We got him! Breathe him in! He's all right.

Hey, can we cook or what? Now for Mr. Ugly himself.

That's what happens when you call names, Peter.

I think we're in a lot of trouble here.

You don't suppose that thing will listen to reason, do you?

Doubtful, Peter. Very doubtful.

I want you to know, Egon, this isn't my idea of a knight on the town.

Eat proton, fella!

Egon! The trap!

There's too many goats in the trap. It wasn't made

to hurt that many. It could overload at any second.

I think we better get this thing in the store. It's fast. Before it blows.

There's only one chance.

What an awfully good idea, Winston.

And I guess you can come too, Slimer.

Let's put this baby to bed.

Hey, piece of cake.

Cake!

And speaking of which, we want to see you upstairs, now.

Surprise! Welcome home!

It's just our way of saying we missed you, and don't ever do that again.

The party was Peter's idea.

Give me a break, okay?

Hey, so I like parties. It's got nothing to do with pond scum over here.

And I didn't miss you.

Well, maybe just a little.

Hey, enough talking. Let's eat. We got two parties to make up for, you know? And a duck.

Don't worry, Slimer.

Yeah, even scientists learn from their mistakes. Now let's eat.

Oh, hey, speaking of learning, I taught Slimer a new trick.

All right, Slimer. Go ahead. Show him your food.

No, no, no, no, don't do it.
