We now return to the real ghost buster.

Honestly, honey, it's too nice outside to stay cooped up in here.

Wouldn't you rather be out on the tennis court

than stuck in here with all those stuffy comics?

Are you kidding, Marge? I loved these things when I was a kid. I mean, look at this.

Takes me right back to when I was a child.

Well, I'm going with or without you.

Hey! See ya.

Last chance to come along!

Well, you don't have to get loud about it. If you don't want to go, just... ...stay...

Well, we're so good of you to join us for breakfast, Dr. Venkman.

What'd he say?

Sounded like coffee, possibly cookie.

Translation, Egon?

Sounded like get out of my face or eat flaming terror.

Rough night, huh, Peter?

I kept dreaming about this weird old guy in a

robe with glowing eyes and stuff. Real strange.

My Aunt Louis always told me that the best way to

deal with a bad dream is to keep telling yourself...

...it's only a dream. Then you can take control of the dream.

Thanks so much, Ray. Now move it or lose it.

248 West 16th. Got it.

Come on, Peter. Let's go.

No way, Winston. I'm not going anywhere till I have my breakfast.

Okay, you win.

Funny. If something was going on, you'd

think people would be running around outside.

The whole neighborhood's quiet as a mouse.

I don't understand. I'm picking up something from

inside, but it's nothing I've ever encountered before.

Well, then, what do we do? We knock, Ray.

Like this.

Excuse me, but is the lady of the house at home...

young? It's got Peter. Let's go.

Next time you knock.

Who knows?

Quick! Blast it!

Wait! The ion field on that thing's all wrong.

I don't know what the particle beams will do to it.

Help, guys! Yeah!

Can we change polarization? Might help.

Help would be very nice, guys!

Like my dad always said, we learn by doing. Let's get it!

I always said places like this shouldn't allow pets.

Hey, check it out.

Just a guessy gun, but this isn't normal, is it? Absolutely not.

Something odd is going on here.

Not a ghost, but something else. Something different.

Hey, look at this. That looks just like the thing we just fought.

This almost clinches it. I think I know what's

responsible for all this, but it seems so incredible.

You want to see incredible? Look at this! Down there!

Yep, it settles it. It's a sandman, alright.

A sandman, Egon? You mean like the kind who helps people go to sleep? Come on, no way.

No, you can't go to Hawaii. You'll go to wear your address, like it or not.

Why? Come on, give me a chance. You guys never

deliver every letter you get anyway. Who'll notice? Why, I order.

Hey! Come back here!

Free will for other letters. Throw off your zip code.

Enjoy the revolution. You have nothing to lose but just man.

You know, this explains a lot.

Man!

I think you've made your point.

Okay, since reality seems to have gone bye-bye, I say

we open up the floor for suggestions. Any ideas? Right?

Yeah, I suggest we go home, go to sleep, and pretend none of this happened.

Yeah, this whole thing is like a bad dream.

Precisely. That's the problem. This is definitely the work

of a sandman, but one using incredibly powerful sleep dust.

So powerful, it makes whatever you dream come to life.

That's just swell, Egon. But it doesn't answer the $5,000 question.

Why? Oh, yes. We are many, my friend.

Many! Oh, guys. I think the answer's sitting across the street.

Hundreds of us, my friend. Taking care of the world's need for sleep.

But who's taking care of the world's need for peace? I ask you.

No one.

Let them call me Renegade. I don't care.

When I'm finished, the world will sleep for 500 years.

No wars, no fighting. Peace and only dreams will walk the world.

Isn't it glorious? Isn't it fine?

No answer? You were laughing at me, aren't you? Well, no one laughs at me.

Don't say it, Egon. Let me. We're in trouble. Oh, boy, are we in trouble.

We gotta find that guy and stop him. The question is, where do we start?

Oh, I don't know. I'd say he's left us a pretty obvious trail, wouldn't you?

That was Silver Phoenix here on W-U-G-H-F-M. Our request lines are open,

but nobody's calling. Come on, folks. What's wrong? Y'all asleep out there?

Is the master up back? Yes.

Hey, great trick. I'll bet you work for Spielberg, don't you?

Never heard of him. As for you, it's time for Betty Bikes.

Me? Hey, you kidding? I'm up and ready to party all day.

And as for all of you out there, time to stop

fighting all your wars. Time for nappies, everyone.

Will you look at this mess? How are we ever gonna

spot the Sandman in all of this? Over there.

All right, then. Let's show this guy that nobody

tells us when to go to bed. Let him have it.

Missed it. Okay, okay. Keep cool. Keep alert. It could pop up anywhere.

Winston, look out. Oh, no, you don't.

Very naughty.

Great shooting, Winston. Now he'll have to

see his tailor before he can counter-attack.

I would not be so sure of that.

Well, actually, it was just a little bit of a joke.

You have annoyed me, and there is a price to pay for that.

Yeah? Okay. Let's see what you can do.

I wanted to create a world of dreams, but if it takes nightmares to get rid of you...

Oh, no. Don't tell me.

That's what I was afraid of.

Oh, brother.

We now return to the real Ghostbusters.

Faster, Ray. Faster. This is faster.

Okay, scouting walks and concrete moccasins. What's the situation out there?

Winston armor, flying turtles, Maestron chariots. This is nuts.

Keep reminding yourself that they're not alive.

They're only byproducts of dreams and nightmares.

Is that why the particle beams make them just disappear?

On the new settings, yes. It disrupts their molecular density.

Translation. They go poof. Okay, now that we're clear on this,

let's shut down that sandman before it's Betty-bye for 500 years.

Still only one guard on Ecto-1, Ray? Yeah.

But do we have to do it?

We need Ecto-1, Ray. Keep telling yourself. It's not what it seems.

Okay, okay. I don't have to like it.

Come on, Ray. It's all yours.

It's not really the Easter Bunny. It's not really the Easter Bunny.

Over there, Hoppy!

See? Piece of cake. Besides, who needs Easter baskets anyway?

You said it really wasn't the Easter Bunny.

It's just a joke, Ray. Come on.

Okay, Ray. Let's go.

I thought you just tuned this thing, Ray.

I did.

Well, then it's off key.

Here.

Oh, no! Nighty-night!

He got him!

If everyone's dream appears when he goes to sleep, I wonder what Ray's dreaming about.

Run for it! Pizza.

I had to ask.

I don't know about you guys, but this is getting too silly for me.

We gotta stop this guy fast.

Agreed. I still have him on the meter. He's moving heading that way.

Great. A dragon.

All right. Let's blast it!

Only if we have to.

Every time we take out one of those things, it's like holding up a sign saying, Here we are.

Let's try something else.

Something real ingenious, right?

Something real scientific, right? Real tippy-toe.

Need it.

Why is it never eating?

Well, don't just stand there dragging your feet.

Let's go! I think Winston's been hanging out with Ray again.

Good observation.

Shh! Room seven.

Maybe nothing.

I'm gonna check it out.

Yo, telegram.

Was that a thud?

That was a thud.

You think this handman got him?

Accepting the Nobel Prize, Peter Venkman.

Accepting the Pulitzer Prize, Peter Venkman.

Accepting the Oscar, Peter Venkman.

Accepting... He got him.

He sure did.

All clear. Go.

How far have we come? Five blocks.

We should be nearing the edge of the sleep zone.

He's covered half the city already in a matter of a few hours.

By the end of the day, he'll have the entire city asleep.

And then? The state.

The country. The world.

I'd rather not think about it. We've got to stop him.

Yeah, but just the two of us? Yeah.

You know, it's funny, but I keep thinking about what Ray said earlier.

He said, once you tell yourself it's only a dream, you can control the dream.

There's something there that I can't quite...

No walking cars. No one fighting. Just dreams.

A world of sleeping people and walking dreams.

Paradise, my friends! Paradise!

They'll talk about this for ages to come.

Once they wake up... Now, fire! Winston.

I figured it out.

Ray had the answer all along, and we didn't recognize him. We have to...

Egon, watch out!

And then there was one. I wonder who or what you're dreaming of.

My name is Albert Einstein, young man.

Of course.

What else? Nothing personal, Mr. Einstein, but I got a split.

Just wish I knew what Egon had figured out.

I wish the others were here. Peter didn't know what to do.

Egon, Ray, they'd build what they needed. I'm not a scientist.

Young man, you needn't be a scientist to solve a problem.

Just try your best.

Use your mind. You'll find the solution.

Good day. Now, let me see. Egon equals MCQ.

My Aunt Lois says the way to deal with

nightmares is to tell yourself it's only a dream.

Ray had the answer all along, and we didn't recognize him. We have to...

That's it! Oh, man, that's it!

Just hope I can get to the fire hall before the Sandman does.

Okay, Janine. That's the plan. And that's our

last proton pack. You sure you know what to do? I guess so.

Just concentrate, like you said.

Okay, Slimer. We know he's coming. Now get out of sight.

Quick! All right, so how do we know when he gets here?

Nighty-night, friends. Time to go beddy-bye.

You'll feel so much better after our 500-year nap.

This is it. Good luck.

Yeah, thanks. I'm gonna need it.

Okay.

Fire! Damn! Nighty-night. Don't let the bedbugs fight.

Okay.

No, but I needn't worry about her.

It's just you and me. Why do you resist?

Wouldn't the world be a better place if it were filled with dreams instead of people?

But the whole reason people dream is so they can try to make their dreams come true.

How can they do that if they're all asleep for 500 years?

That's irrelevant. A sandman helps people sleep. A sandman makes dreams.

And I am now the ultimate sandman.

I'm a... I'm a...

I am now the greatest sandman ever.

I'm a... A goat buster!

Goodnight, Winston Z. Moore.

Goodnight, yourself buster.

Oh, no! Oh, no, you don't!

No! You can't do this to me!

I am a sandman!

No! You're a bear! No! No! Don't worry.

It's all just a bad dream. Right, Denny?

Ahh!

Ahh!

Gotta beat this stupid camp.

Hey! Anybody smell pizza?

A guy could grow to like this.

No, it's E equals MC. E equals...

It's E equals MC squared. Listen to me. It's E equals MC...

Never mind. Just never mind. They take far too long to explain anyway.

Then Winston remembered what you said about taking control of your dreams.

I told myself over and over, I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming.

So when I fell asleep, I was able to control the dream.

And I made sure to dream that I was a ghost buster.

So the sandman, thinking you were no longer a threat, got careless.

And that's when you read him the riot act.

You betcha.

Just what I had in mind before the sandman got me.

Speaking of which, what good's a celebration

when the hero of the hour is in another room?

Come on, Winston!

Well, he did have a rough day. I guess he deserved it.

He's the only one who didn't get any sleep.

Hmmm?
