Judge Wexler Quotes in Ghostbusters II (1989)

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!

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

Judge Wexler: [wailing] Ohhh...

Peter Venkman: You're next, bubbles.

Judge Wexler: [screams] ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT! I rescind the order! Case dismissed!

Louis Tully: Hooray, we won the case!

Judge Wexler: Now do something!

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!

Judge Wexler: Peter Venkman, Raymond Stantz, Egon Spengler,

[yells]

Judge Wexler: Stand up! Get up!

[the Ghostbusters stand up]

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!

Ray: Yes, sir...

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: [two ghosts in electrics chairs are attacking the court room] The Scolari brothers!

Ray: Friends of yours?

Judge Wexler: I tried them for murder, gave 'em the chair! You've got to do something!

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

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.

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.
