• Judge Wexler : [in the middle of persecuting the Ghostbusters he was attacked by the ghosts of two murderers he sentenced to the chair]  You got to do something! Help me!

  Ray : Don't talk to me; talk to my attorney.

  Louis Tully : And 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!

• Judge Wexler : If my hands weren't tied by the unalterable fetters of the law, then I would invoke the tradition of our illustrious forebears, reach back to a purer, sterner justice, and have you BURNED AT THE STAKE!

• [Wexler, Louis, Peter, Ray, and Egon all watch the prosecuting attorney being carried by one of the Scoleri brothers outside the courtroom]

  Judge Wexler : You too, Mr. Tully.

  [Louis stands up] 

  Judge Wexler : [furious]  I find guilty on all charges. I order to pay fines in the amount of $25,000 each...

  [the mood slime burbles; Ray notices it] 

  Judge Wexler : ... and I sentence you to 18 months in the City Correctional Facility at Riker's Island.

  Ray : Egie, she's twiching.

  Judge Wexler : [yells]  I'M NOT FINISHED!

  [slime continues to boil] 

  Judge Wexler : On a more presonal note, let me just go on record as saying that there's no place for fakes, charlatans...

  Egon : Uh, your honor?

  Judge Wexler : [cuts Egon off]  Shut up! Or tricksters like you in desent society!

  Peter Venkman : Your honor, this is important.

  Judge Wexler : You play on the gullibility of innocent people!

  Judge Wexler : Be quiet!

  Ray : But...

  [poits to the bubbling mood slime as it spills over] 

  Judge Wexler : [yelling]  If my hands weren't tied by the alterable fetters of the law, then I would invoke the tradition of our illustrious forbears, reach back to a purer, sterner justice

  [screaming at the top of his lungs] 

  Judge Wexler : and have you BURNED AT THE STAKE!

  [the ghosts of the Scoleri brothers bursts from the slime; the jury members, many vistors and the prosecutor are all frightened] 

  Ray : [amazed]  Wow!

  Judge Wexler : [shocked and frightened]  Oh, my God! The Scoleri Brothers!

  [Wexler leaps from his bench as the ghosts attempt to attack him. He then crawls to Louis and the now-prosecuted Ghostbusters] 

  Judge Wexler : [yells]  The Scoleri Brothers!

  Ray : Friends of yours?

  Judge Wexler : I've tried them for murder! Gave them the chair!

• Judge Wexler : [Running from the Scolari Bros. and pounding on the door, then grabs ray by his suit jacket]  You gotta do something, help me!

  Ray : Don't talk to me, talk to my attorney.

  Louis Tully : That's me. My guys are still under a judicial restraining order. That blue thing I got from her, they can be exposing themselves.

  Peter Venkman : And you don't want us exposing ourselves.

• Prosecutor : Objection, Your Honor.

  Louis Tully : What?

  Prosecutor : He's leading the witness.

  Judge Wexler : Sustained!

  Louis Tully : Give me a break, we're *both* lawyers.

• Judge Wexler : [At the Ghostbusters' trial]  Before we begin this trial, I want to make one thing very clear: The law does not recognize the existence of ghosts, and I don't believe in them either. So I don't wanna hear a lot of malarkey about goblins, spooks, and demons. We're gonna stick to the facts in this case. Leave the ghost stories to the kiddies, understood?

  Winston : Wow. Sounds like a pretty open-minded guy, huh?

  Egon : Yeah, they call him "The Hammer."

  Ray : What can we do? It's all 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 : Well, that's fine, Louis. We got arrested at night.

• Hardemeyer : Look, just put these guys away fast and make sure they go away for a long, long time, okay?

  Prosecutor : I don't think it's gonna be hard with this list of charges.

  Hardemeyer : Good. Very good.

  [to Peter and the Ghostbusters] 

  Hardemeyer : Violating a judicial restraining order, willful destruction of public property, fraud, malicious mischief...

  [chuckles] 

  Hardemeyer : See you in a couple of years at you first parole hearing.

  Peter Venkman : [chuckles]  They'll never take us alive.

  Judge Wexler : [bangs gavel]  All right, all right. Let's get on with it.

• Judge Wexler : Mr. Tully, do you have any questions for this witness that might have some bearing on this case?

  Louis Tully : [to Venkman, on the witness stand]  Do I?

  Peter Venkman : No, we've helped them out enough already.

• Judge Wexler : You got to do something!

  Egon : Why don't you just tell them you don't believe in ghost?
