Winston Zeddemore Quotes in Ghostbusters (1984)

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.

Dr. Peter Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Mayor: All right, all right! I get the point!

Gozer: [after Ray orders her to re-locate] Are you a God?

[Ray looks at Peter, who nonchalantly nods yes]

Dr. Raymond Stantz: No.

Gozer: Then... DIE!

[Lightning flies from her fingers, driving the Ghostbusters to the edge of the roof and almost off; people below scream]

Dr. Peter Venkman: Make 'em hard!

[they rack their handsets]

Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore: READY!

Dr. Peter Venkman: Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown... THROW IT!

Janine Melnitz: Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?

Winston Zeddemore: Ah, if there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.

Gozer: The Choice is made!

Dr. Peter Venkman: Whoa! Ho! Ho! Whoa-oa!

Gozer: The Traveller has come!

Dr. Peter Venkman: Nobody choosed anything!

[turns to Egon]

Dr. Peter Venkman: Did you choose anything?

Dr. Egon Spengler: No.

Dr. Peter Venkman: [to Winston] Did YOU?

Winston Zeddemore: My mind is totally blank.

Dr. Peter Venkman: I didn't choose anything...

[long pause, Peter, Egon and Winston all look at Ray]

Dr. Raymond Stantz: I couldn't help it. It just popped in there.

Dr. Peter Venkman: [angrily] What? WHAT "just popped in there?"

Dr. Raymond Stantz: I... I... I tried to think...

Dr. Egon Spengler: LOOK!

[they all look over one side of the roof]

Dr. Raymond Stantz: No! It CAN'T be!

Dr. Peter Venkman: What is it?

Dr. Raymond Stantz: It CAN'T be!

Dr. Peter Venkman: What did you DO, Ray?

Winston Zeddemore: Oh, shit!

[they all see a giant cubic white head topped with a sailor hat, Peter looks at Ray]

Dr. Raymond Stantz: [somberly] It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

Dr. Egon Spengler: I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate.

Dr. Peter Venkman: How?

Dr. Egon Spengler: [hesitates] We'll cross the streams.

Dr. Peter Venkman: 'Scuse me Egon? You said crossing the streams was bad!

Dr. Raymond Stantz: Cross the streams...

Dr. Peter Venkman: You're gonna endanger us, you're gonna endanger our client - the nice lady, who paid us in advance, before she became a dog...

Dr. Egon Spengler: Not necessarily. There's definitely a VERY SLIM chance we'll survive.

[pause while they consider this]

Dr. Peter Venkman: [slaps Ray] I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it! LET'S DO IT!

Winston Zeddemore: [all get up to get ready] This job is definitely not worth $11,500 a year.

Winston Zeddemore: Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say, "yes!"

Dr. Egon Spengler: I'm worried, Ray. It's getting crowded in there and all my data points to something big on the horizon.

Winston Zeddemore: What do you mean, big?

Dr. Egon Spengler: Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's sample, it would be a Twinkie... thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

Winston Zeddemore: That's a big Twinkie.

Winston Zeddemore: I'm Winston Zeddmore, Your Honor. I've only been with the company for a couple of weeks, but these things are real. Since I joined these men, I've seen shit that'll turn you white.

Winston Zeddemore: Hey Ray. Do you believe in God?

Dr Ray Stantz: Never met him.

Winston Zeddemore: Yeah, well, I do. And I love Jesus's style, you know.

Dr Ray Stantz: The entire roof cap is made out of a magnesium-tungsten alloy...

Winston Zeddemore: What are you so involved with over there?

Dr Ray Stantz: These are the blueprints for structural ironwork of Dana Barret's apartment building, and they are very, very strange.

Winston Zeddemore: Hey Ray. Do you remember something in the bible about the last days when the dead would rise from the grave?

Dr Ray Stantz: I remember Revelations 7:12...?And I looked, and he opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became as black as sack cloth, and the moon became as blood."

Winston Zeddemore: "And the seas boiled and the skies fell."

Dr Ray Stantz: Judgement day.

Winston Zeddemore: Judgement day.

Dr Ray Stantz: Every ancient religion has its own myth about the end of the world.

Winston Zeddemore: Myth? Ray, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason we've been so busy lately is 'cause the dead HAVE been rising from the grave?

Dr Ray Stantz: [Pause ] How 'bout a little music?

Winston Zeddemore: Yeah.

Dr. Peter Venkman: How's the grid holding up?

Dr. Egon Spengler: Not good.

Winston Zeddemore: Tell him about the Twinkie.

Dr. Peter Venkman: What about the Twinkie?

[last lines]

Winston Zeddemore: I love this town!

Dr. Raymond Stantz: It's a girl.

Dr. Egon Spengler: It's Gozer.

Winston Zeddemore: I thought Gozer was a man.

Dr. Egon Spengler: It's whatever it wants to be.

Dr. Peter Venkman: Well, whatever it is, it's gotta get by us.

Dr. Raymond Stantz: Right!

[pause]

Dr. Peter Venkman: Go get her, Ray!

Winston Zeddemore: Hey, wait a minute. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Hold it! Now, are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is going to drop in on Central Park West, and start tearing up the city?

Dr. Egon Spengler: Sumerian, not Babylonian.

Dr. Peter Venkman: Yeah. Big difference.

Winston Zeddemore: No offense, guys, but I've gotta get my own lawyer.

Winston Zeddemore: This job is definitely *not* worth eleven-five a year!

Dr. Egon Spengler: [about the storage facility] I'm worried, Ray. It's getting crowded in there, and all my recent data points to something big on the horizon.

Winston Zeddemore: What do you mean "big"?

Dr. Egon Spengler: Well...

[Egon takes a Twinkie]

Dr. Egon Spengler: ...let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning's sample, it would be a twinkie... 35 feet long and weighing approximately 600 pounds.

[Ray coughs, in disbelief]

Winston Zeddemore: That's a big Twinkie.

Dr. Raymond Stantz: We could on the verge of a fourfold cross-reap. A P.K.E. surge of incredible, even dangerous proportions!

Dr. Peter Venkman: All right, this chick is TOAST. Okay; sticks?

Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore: HOLDIN'!

Dr. Peter Venkman: Heat 'em up!

Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore: SMOKIN'!

Dr. Peter Venkman: MAKE 'EM HARD!

Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore: READY!

Dr. Peter Venkman: Let's show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown.

Dr. Raymond Stantz: Every ancient religion has its own myth about the end of the world.

Winston Zeddemore: Myth? Ray, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason we've been so busy lately is because the dead HAVE been rising from the grave?

[long pause]

Dr. Raymond Stantz: [Turns on radio] How 'bout a little music?

Dr. Raymond Stantz: [after Gozer disappears] We've neutronized it, you know what that means? A complete particle reversal.

Winston Zeddemore: We have the tools, and we have the talent!

Dr. Peter Venkman: It's Miller time!

[the trio shake hands]
