What the hell is going on? It's pandemonium out there! Yes, I know. We're working on it!...

The Mayor: What the hell is going on? It's pandemonium out there! Hardemeyer: Yes, I know. We're working on it! The Mayor: Great. While you're working on it, I'm going down as the mayor who let New York get sucked down into the tenth level of hell! All right, we got no choice. Call the Ghostbusters. Hardemeyer: Wait! Now I'm sure there's another way. The Mayor: Jack, I spent an hour last night in my bedroom talking to Fiorello LaGuardia and he's been dead for 40 years. Now where are the Ghostbusters? Hardemeyer: Uh, they're not available. The Mayor: What do you mean they're not available? Hardemeyer: Well, I had them committed to the psychiatric ward at Parkview Hospital. The Mayor: You what? Hardemeyer: They were threatening to go to the press! I was protecting your interests! The Mayor: Oh yeah? Hardemeyer: Uh-huh! The Mayor: Well, you can stop protecting my interests. You have exactly three minutes to clear out. You're fired! Hardemeyer: But the election! You're making a big mistake, Mr. Mayor! The Mayor: Harry! Remove this man from the building and get me the Ghostbusters!
