The sun is shining brightly and Liberty
is back on her pedestal where she belongs.
The Mayor and a host of officials are commemorating her return.
The Ghostbusters, Dana, Janine and
Louis are there as honoured guests.
The Mayor comes out with a giant gold key,
symbolic of The Key to the City.
Notice Janosz Poha and Jack Hardemeyer
standing to the left of the podium.
The Mayor shakes hands with Peter, then hands the key over to him. Peter accepts it, then hands it down to the other members of the team.
VENKMAN
(looking up at the statue)
Pretty impressive, huh?
SPENGLER
(musing)
It's probably the first thing my grandparents
saw when they came to this country.
VENKMAN
From where -- Neptune?
SPENGLER
They came from Ostrov in Eastern Poland.
VENKMAN
Ostrov? I've been there. Good party town.
STANTZ
(in a similarly reflective mood)
My great-grandparents were Swiss.
I still have the pictures they took of
The Statue from the boat when they arrived.
VENKMAN
Oh, right, you told me that.
They came to America seeking other
kinds of cheese, as I recall.
How about you, Winston?
WINSTON
My people weren't taking any pictures from those slave ships,
man. And there wasn't any Statue in Charleston Harbor
to welcome them, either.
What are you, Dana?
VENKMAN
Miss Blue Blood? Her family's
been here since the year 12.
DANA
That's not true. It was 1620.
VENKMAN
Same difference.
STANTZ
What's your story, Pete?
VENKMAN
Me? I'm a little of everything. Some Irish,
some German, some French, Dutch --
the women in my family slept around.
And that's what made this country great.
DANA
That's a terrible thing to say.
VENKMAN
So what? It's a free country.
(looking up at the statue)
Thanks, Lib.
They all look up at the Statue.
EXT. STATUE OF LIBERTY - HEAD OF STATUE - DAY
Slimer flies out one of the observation windows, THEME MUSIC KICKS IN and the CAMERA PULLS UP and AWAY FROM the island TO a HIGH SHOT of the Statue, lower Manhattan and the shining sea beyond.
