Dr. Raymond Stantz : Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here.
Walter Peck : They caused an explosion!
Mayor : Is this true?
Dr. Peter Venkman : Yes it's true.
[pause]
Dr. Peter Venkman : This man has no dick.
Walter Peck : Jeez!
[Charges at Venkman]
Mayor : Break it up! Hey, break this up! Break it up!
Walter Peck : All right, all right, all right!
Dr. Peter Venkman : Well, that's what I heard!
-
Walter Peck : Hold it! I want this man arrested! Captain, these men are in criminal violation of the Environmental Protection Act! And this explosion is a direct result of it!
Dr. Egon Spengler : YOUR MOTHER!
-
Walter Peck : I'm Walter Peck, from the Environmental Protection?
[Venkman shakes hands with Peck and still has ectoplasm on his hands]
Walter Peck : Agency, the third district.
Dr. Peter Venkman : [Peck is wiping the ectoplasm on his jacket] Great, how's it going down there?
Walter Peck : Are you Peter Venkman?
Dr. Peter Venkman : Yes, I'm *Doctor* Venkman!
Walter Peck : Exactly what are you a doctor of, Mr. Venkman?
Dr. Peter Venkman : Well, I have a PhD in parapsychology and psychology.
Walter Peck : And now, you catch ghosts?
Dr. Peter Venkman : Yeah, you could say that.
Walter Peck : And how many ghosts have you caught, Mr. Venkman?
Dr. Peter Venkman : I'm not at liberty to say.
Walter Peck : And where do you put these ghosts, once you catch them?
Dr. Peter Venkman : Into a storage facility.
Walter Peck : And would this storage facility be located on these premises?
Dr. Peter Venkman : Yes.
Walter Peck : And may I see this storage facility?
Dr. Peter Venkman : No.
Walter Peck : And why not, Mr. Venkman?
Dr. Peter Venkman : Because you did not use the magic word.
Walter Peck : What is the magic word, Mr. Venkman?
Dr. Peter Venkman : [looking surprised] Please!
Walter Peck : May I *please* see the storage facility, Mr. Venkman?
Dr. Peter Venkman : Why do you want to see the storage facility?
Walter Peck : Because I'm curious. I wanna know more about what you do here! Frankly, I've heard a lot of wild stories in the media and we want to assess any possibility of dangerous and possibly hazardous waste chemicals in your basement.
[Peck is angered]
Walter Peck : Now you either *show me* what is down there, or I come back with a court order.
Dr. Peter Venkman : [Venkman snaps back] You go get a court order, and I'll sue your funny ass for wrongful prosecution.
Walter Peck : You can have it your way, Mr. Venkman.
-
Dr. Peter Venkman : [steps in front of Peck] My friend, don't be a jerk!
Walter Peck : If he does that again, you can shoot him.
Police Captain : You do your job, pencil neck, don't tell me how to do mine!
Dr. Peter Venkman : Thank you, Officer.
Walter Peck : SHUT IT OFF!
-
Janine Melnitz : I've seen TV, I know you can't come in here without a warrant or writ or something!
Walter Peck : [holding up papers] Cease and desist all commerce order, seizure of premises and chattels, ban on use of public utilities for unauthorized waste handlers, and a federal entry and inspection order.
[pushes past her]

[Egon is running tests on Louis who has been possessed by Vince Clortho a.k.a. The Keymaster]
Janine Melnitz : [entering with Peck, Police Sergeant and Con Ed Man] Egon, I tried to stop them. They say they have a warrant.
Dr. Egon Spengler : Excuse me, this is private property.
Walter Peck : Shut this off; shut these all off.
Dr. Egon Spengler : I'm warning you. Turning off these machines would be extremely hazardous.
Walter Peck : No, I'll tell *you* what's hazardous. You're facing Federal prosecution for about a half dozen environmental violations. Now either you shut off these machines, or we'll shut them off for you.
Dr. Egon Spengler : Try to understand, this a high voltage laser containment system. Simply turning it off would be like dropping a bomb on the city.
Walter Peck : Don't patronize me, I'm not grotesquely stupid, like the people you've bilked!
Dr. Peter Venkman : [arriving, to the officer] At ease officer. I'm Peter Venkman. I'm a partner in this facility and I'm going to cooperate in any way that I can.
Walter Peck : Forget it, Venkman. You had your chance to cooperate, but you though it would be more fun to insult me. Well, now it's my turn, wiseass.
Dr. Egon Spengler : He wants to shut down the protection grid, Peter.
Dr. Peter Venkman : [to Peck] You shut that thing down, and *we* are not going to be held responsible for whatever happens.
Walter Peck : Oh yes you will, I'll make sure you will.
Dr. Peter Venkman : No, we won't be.
Walter Peck : [to the electrician] Shut it off.
Dr. Peter Venkman : [to the electrician] Don't shut it off. I'm warning ya.
Con Edison Man : I, I never seen anything like this before. I'm not sure...
Walter Peck : [interrupting] I'm not interested in your opinion, just shut it off.
Dr. Peter Venkman : [gets in electrician's way] My friend, don't be a jerk.
Police Sergeant : [gets in Peter's way] Step aside.
Walter Peck : If he does that again, you can shoot him.
Police Sergeant : You do *your* job, pencilneck. Don't tell me how to do mine.
Dr. Peter Venkman : Thank you, officer.
Walter Peck : [aggravatingly shouting] Shut it off!

[alternate wording from cable TV version]
Dr. Raymond Stantz : Your honor, our system was working just fine until the power grid was turned off by wally wick here.
Walter Peck : They caused an explosion!
Mayor : [to Venkman] Is this true?
Dr. Peter Venkman : It's true, your honor. The man is some kind of rodent, I don't know which.
-
Walter Peck : [after being hit by fifty gallons worth of melted marshmallow, screams hysterically] I HATE YOU, VENKMAN!
-
Dr. Peter Venkman : [to the Mayor] You could believe Mr. Pecker.
Walter Peck : My name - is Peck.
Dr. Peter Venkman : Or...
-
Walter Peck : Shut these off. Shut these all off!
