Dr. Raymond Stantz: This is a major disgrace. Forget MIT or Stanford, now. They wouldn't touch us with ten meter caliprod. Dr. Peter Venkman: You're always concerned about your reputation. Einstein did his best stuff when he was working as a patent clerk. Dr. Raymond Stantz: You know how much a patent clerk earns? Dr. Peter Venkman: No! Dr. Raymond Stantz: Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities. We didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like out there. I worked in the private sector. They expect results. Dr. Peter Venkman: For whatever reasons, Ray. Call it fate. Call it luck. Call it karma. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that we were destined to get thrown out of this dump. Dr. Raymond Stantz: For what purpose? Dr. Peter Venkman: To go into business for ourselves. Dr. Raymond Stantz: This ecto containment system that Spengler and I have in mind is gonna require a load of bread to capitalize. Where are we gonna get the money? Dr. Peter Venkman: I don't know. I 'don't' know.

This is a major disgrace. Forget MIT or Stanford now. They wouldn't touch us with a 10-meter cattle prod. You're always so concerned about your reputation. Einstein did his best stuff when he was a patent clerk. You know how much a patent clerk earns? The university gave us money. We didn't have to produce anything. You've never been out of college. You don't know what it's like. I've worked in the private sector. They expect results. For whatever reasons, Ray... ...call it fate, call it luck, call it karma... ...I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that we were destined to get thrown out of this dump. - For what purpose? - To go into business for ourselves. This ecto-containment system Spengler and I have in mind... ...will require a load of capital. Where will we get the money? I don't know. I don't know. You're never gonna regret this, Ray. My parents left me that house. I was born there. You won't lose the house. Everybody has three mortgages nowadays. But at 19 percent? You didn't even bargain with the guy. Ray, for your information, the interest rate alone... ...for the first five years comes to 95,000 dollars. Will you guys relax? We are on the threshold of establishing... ...the indispensable defense science of the next decade: Professional paranormal investigations and eliminations. The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams. There's office space, sleeping quarters and showers... ...and there's a full kitchen. It just seems a little pricey for a unique fixer-upper opportunity, that's all. What do you think, Egon? I think this building should be condemned. There's metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members. The wiring is substandard. It's inadequate for our power needs. And the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone. Hey, does this pole still work? Wow, this place is great. When can we move in? You gotta try this pole. I'm gonna get my stuff. Hey, we should stay here tonight, sleep here. You know, to try it out. - I think we'll take it. - Good.
