Ghostbusters

EXT. PUBLIC LIBRARY -- DAY Venkman and Stantz arrive in a taxi and trot up the front steps. Stantz is loaded down with equipment. STANTZ Spengler and I have charted every psychic occurrence in the Tri-State area for the past two years. The graph we came up with definitely points to something big. VENKMAN Ray, as your friend I have to tell you I think you've really gone around the bend on this ghost stuff. You've been running your ass off for two years checking out every schizo in the Five Boroughs who thinks he's had an experience. And what have you seen? STANTZ What do you mean by "seen?" VENKMAN Looked at with your eyes. STANTZ Well, I was at an unexplained multiple high-altitude rockfall once. VENKMAN Uh-huh. I've heard about the rockfall, Ray. I think you've been spending too much time with Spengler. INT. MAIN READING ROOM -- DAY EGON SPENGLER is looking for spirits when Venkman and Stantz arrive. Spengler is a real egghead, a New Wave Mr. Spock, who single-handedly got Venkman through graduate school. Spengler is incredibly intelligent but amazingly dense at the same time. At the moment he is listening to a table using a stethoscope connected to stereo earphones. Venkman comes up behind him and taps on the table to get his attention. VENKMAN Egon? Spengler hears the tapping and thinks he's made contact with the spirit world. Then Venkman slams a heavy book down on the table. VENKMAN (CONT'D) Egon! Spengler jumps at the deafening noise in his earphones and turns to see Venkman and Stantz. SPENGLER Oh! You're here. VENKMAN What have you got, Egon? SPENGLER Oh, this is big, Peter. This is very big. There's definitely something here. VENKMAN Egon, somehow this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole in your head. Do you remember that? HEAD LIBRARIAN A choleric, middle-aged civil servant, MR. DELACORTE, hurries over to meet them. HEAD LIBRARIAN (nervous) Hello, I'm Roger Delacorte - the Head Librarian. Are you the men from the University? VENKMAN Yes. I'm Dr. Venkman and this is Dr. Stantz. HEAD LIBRARIAN (leads them off) Thank you for coming. I'd appreciate it if we could take care of this quickly and quietly. VENKMAN One thing at a time. We don't even know what it is yet. INT. AN OFFICE -- A LITTLE LATER Venkman is questioning the plump Librarian who saw the spirit, while a Paramedic continues treating her for shock. LIBRARIAN I don't remember seeing any legs, but it definitely had arms because it reached for me. STANTZ (excited) Arms! Great! I can't wait to get a look at this thing. Venkman glowers at him, still skeptical. VENKMAN (to the girl) All right, miss. Have you or has any member of your family ever been diagnosed schizophrenic or mentally incompetent? LIBRARIAN Well, my uncle thought he was St. Jerome. VENKMAN (looks at Stantz) I'll call that a big "yes." (to the girl) Do you yourself habitually use drugs, stimulants or alcohol? LIBRARIAN No. VENKMAN I thought not. And one last thing. Are you currently menstruating? HEAD LIBRARIAN (shocked) What's that got to do with it? VENKMAN (snaps) Back off, man! I'm a scientist! THE DOOR Spengler sticks his head in. SPENGLER (excited) It's moving! Stantz and Venkman rush out. INT. DEEP IN THE STACKS -- DAY They come slowly down the dark aisle with Spengler leading, taking constant readings. Their faces are lit mainly by the light of their own monitoring and recording equipment. HIGH POV Looking down on them from the spectral point of view. A SPIRAL STAIRCASE One by one, Venkman, Stantz and Spengler come down the tightly winding, old iron staircase. They are scared. Books are strewn all over the floor. A BOOKSHELF The books start to slide forward then the whole shelving unit topples over and almost crushes the team under a ton of books. They jump to safety. VENKMAN Nice. (out loud) Hello... Spengler looks at his meters and silently points at a dark aisle intersecting the one they're in. The team inches toward it. SPENGLER It's here. They stop at the corner. INT. THE DARK AISLE -- DAY The team peeks around the corner and looks toward camera. THEIR POV -- DAY An ethereal presence is hovering between the stacks about four feet off the ground. It seems to waver on the edge of being and non-being, then a large legless, headless torso begins to emerge. VENKMAN, STANTZ AND SPENGLER They stand there amazed. STANTZ (whispers) What is it? VENKMAN It looks like a big pair of breasts and a pot belly. aisle- przejście (między rzędami) appreciate- doceniać bend- zginać się chart- obserwować check out- sprawdzać civil servant- urzędnik publiczny come up with- wymyślać, proponować crush- zgniatać, miażdżyć deafening- ogłuszający dense- tępy drill- wiercić egghead- jajogłowy emerge- wyłaniać się ethereal- eteryczny, lotny get one’s attention- zwrócić czyjąś uwagę habitually- nałogowo high-altitude- na dużej wysokości hover- unosic się, zawisnąć w powietrzu, krążyć inch- zdążać (w kierunku), posuwać się incompetent- niezdolny incredibly- niewiarygodnie intersect- krzyżować się, przecinać loaded down- obładowany mentally- umysłowo multiple- wielokrotny occurrence- występowanie, przypadek peek- zerkać, rzucać okiem plump- pulchny point of view- punkt widzenia rockfall- lawina rush out- gnać, pędzić, wybiegać skeptical- sceptyczny slide- slizgać się snap- przerywać; pstrykać palcami spectral- spektralny, widmowy stack- sterta, stos strew (strewed- strewed/ strewn)- rozrzucać, zasypywać tap- stukać palcami topple over- przewracać się, runąć trot- biec truchtem unexplained- niewytłumaczony waver- wahać się, chwiać TEST
