The Janine Melnitz of 1984 :
I Want You to TAKE This --
The Egon Spengler of 1984 :
What is it?
The Janine Melnitz of 1984 :
It's a souvenir from The World's Fair at Flushing Meadow in 1964 --
It's My Lucky Coin.
The Egon Spengler of 1984 :
I shouldn't take it,
we might not be coming back.
The Janine Melnitz of 1984 :
Take it anyway --
I got another one at home.
37 YEARS LATER
Her Other Lucky Coin clasped in her hand,
Janine sits across from Winston
in his private office, reminiscing nostalgically over
Old Times and Absent Friends —
Winston :
Egon was The Brains.
Ray was The Heart.
Peter just kept it Cool.
The Janine Melnitz of 2021 :
Who Were You?
Winston :
The Sex Appeal..(!)
(both chuckle)
The Janine Melnitz of 2021 :
You've done very well for y'self --
a LOTTA Shelf-Space...
Winston :
You see, that's The Thing...
I don't DO it, for Me --
I Do it for My Kids, and...
I want to be An Example for
What's Possible.
The Janine Melnitz of 2021 :
You still covering The Rent at Ray's Bookshop...?
Winston :
Ray's gonna turn a profit ONE of these days.
The Janine Melnitz of 2021 :
Ha-ha! I remember
The Day You Came in...
Winston :
I came in looking for a steady paycheck.
But busting ghosts with The Guys --
Taught me not to be afraid.
That I had The Tools, and I had The Talent.
I started this business with one employee,
and I've grown it into a thriving global enterprise.
I may be A Businessman,
But I will ALWAYS be A Ghostbuster.
