In 1989, a cool five years after the release of the original, the long-awaited sequel to Ghostbusters was released. Imaginatively titled Ghostbusters II, the original cast reunited to combat an evil spirit trapped inside a painting which needs Dana Barrett's baby, Oscar in order to live again.

Ray and Winston have been reduced to doing kids birthday parties to make ends meet. It's a thankless and frustrating existence, made worse by having to entertain children.
Jason
You know, my dad says you guys are full of crap.
Mother
Jason!
Raymond Stantz
Some people have trouble believing in the paranormal.
Jason
No, he says you're full of crap and that's why you went out of business.
Raymond Stantz
Song.
[WINSTON presses play on a tape deck and the Ghostbusters theme starts to play]
Mother
Come on, everybody!
Ray / Winston
♪ If there's something strange, in the neighbourhood. Who you gonna call?
Kids
He-Man! He-Man! He-Man!
Clip 2
Haremeyer is the Mayor's assistant and he's a real ball-breaker. Or he thinks he is. But he's no match for Peter Venkman's rapier wit.
Hardemeyer
Look, you stay away from the mayor. He's running for governor next fall and the last thing we need is for him to be associated with two-bit frauds and publicity hounds like you and your friends.
Peter Venkman
You know, I'm a voter. Aren't you supposed to lie to me and kiss my butt?
Clip 3
For your information, the epididymis are a series of small tubes that collect and store sperm, attached to the back of the testicles. So for Egon, this was a mike-drop moment. BOOM!
Egon Spengler
Hello, Venkman.
Ray Stantz
Hi, Pete. How's it going?
Peter Venkman
Very well. Hi, Egon. How's school? I bet those science chicks really dig that large cranium of yours, huh?
Egon Spengler
I think they're more interested in my epididymis.
Clip 4
The guys have arrived at Dana's apartment to examine baby Oscar and his nursery. So far, they've found nothing. But that doesn't mean their exhaustive tests are yet complete.
Ray Stantz
Nothing.
Peter Venkman
So, what, brainiac?
Egon Spengler
I'd like to run gynaecological tests on the mother.
Peter Venkman
Who wouldn't?
Clip 5
Who would employ Louis Tully as their defence lawyer? Well, someone irretrievably stupid or ridiculously broke, I guess. And the Ghostbusters come under that second category.
Ray Stantz
What can we do? It's in the hands of our lawyer now.
Louis Tully
I think you guys are making a big mistake. I do mostly tax law and some probate stuff occasionally. I got my law degree at night school.
Ray Stantz
Well, that's fine, Louis. We got arrested at night.
Clip 6
It would be fair to say that Louis isn't doing such a great job at defending the Ghostbusters. But he has been a real bonus for the prosecutor.
Judge Stephen Wexler
Mister Tully, do you have any questions for this witness that might have some bearing on this case?
Louis Tully
Do I?
Peter Venkman
No, we've helped them out enough.
Louis Tully
No, Your Honour.
Clip 7
Judge Stephen Wexler is about to learn a lesson in humility. Two brothers he sent to the electric chair years ago have returned for revenge in his courtroom. He's having a brown pants moment.
Judge Stephen Wexler
You gotta do something. Help me!
Peter Venkman
Don't talk to me. Talk to my attorney.
Louis Tully
That's me! My guys are still under a judicial mistrangement order. That blue thing I got from her. They could be exposing themselves.
Peter Venkman
And you don't want us exposing ourselves.
Clip 8
All right. What kind of a sick, twisted, perverted individual sleeps with a jar of psyco-reactive slime? Egon Spengler, that's who. His only saving grace is that he is ashamed of it.
Peter Venkman
Oh, baby! You mean this stuff actually feeds on bad vibes.
Ray Stantz
Like a cop in a doughnut factory.
Egon Spengler
We've been running tests to see if we get an equally strong positive reaction.
Peter Venkman
What kind of tests?
Ray Stantz
Well, we sing to it and we talk to it and say supportive, nurturing things to it.
Peter Venkman
You're not sleeping with it, are you, Ray?
[EGON'S face betrays him]
Oh, you...
Clip 9
When Dana says she needs to put baby Oscar down, she means for some sleep. But there's more than one way to put a baby down. Isn't that right, Peter?
Dana Barrett
Well, how about you on the sofa and me and the baby in the bed?
Peter Venkman
It's a way to go.
Dana Barrett
It's so late. I really ought to put him down.
Peter Venkman
May I?
Dana Barrett
Yeah, if you want to.
Peter Venkman
[To baby OSCAR]
You're short. Your belly button sticks out too far. And you're a terrible burden on your poor mother.
Clip 10
Peter has finally convinced Dana to go on a date with him. A romantic meal in a restaurant. What could possibly derail it this time? His colleagues? Hmm. Possibly.
Peter Venkman
Dana, the guys are going down into the sewer to check for slime stuff. And Egon thinks there may even be a huge surge in c*ckroach breeding. Wanna blow off this dinner thing and go with them?
Dana Barrett
Taxi!
Peter Venkman
Women, huh?
Clip 11
PKE levels are on the rise across the whole city. Zombie taxi drivers are on the streets and... the Titanic just turned up to Pier 34 - 77 years late!
Cop
Lieutenant, I think you'd better talk to this guy.
