Why would you want to be a Ghostbuster if you're already an accountant?







---------------------------------------------------------------
INT. FIREHOUSE - LAB AREA - SAME TIME

Louis is strapping on a proton pack, preparing 
to deal with Slimer once and for all. 
He's wearing a bicyclist's rearview 
mirror on a headband.

LOUIS
(to himself)
Okay, Stink-Man, Just You and Me, pal. 
Just two guys looking for each other —
Only One of Us did a wee 
bit better on our SATs
C’mon, you lil’ sucker —
Okay, Buddy-boy — 
I’ve got you scoped ….
(loud)
Oh, hello, Pizza Man! Oh, two larges! I only ordered one. Oh, pepperoni and pineapple. My absolute favorite. I guess I'll have to eat these both by myself.

THE CEILING

Slimer pokes his head through the ceiling and scans the room hanging upside down.

LOUIS

He spots Slimer through the rearview mirror.

LOUIS
(quietly)
Okay, let's boogie!

He whirls around and fires a proton stream at Slimer, 
slicing a burning a gash across the ceiling.

THE STAIRS

Janine comes up and ducks as a bolt of energy streaks 
across the room and strikes the wall behind her. 
Slimer disappears.

LOUIS
(embarrassed and apologetic)
Oh migod! I'm sorry. 
I didn't mean to do that. 
It was an accident.

JANINE
What are you doing up here?

LOUIS
I was trying to get that smelly green thing. 
The guys asked me to help out. 
I'm like the fifth Ghostbuster.

JANINE
Why would you want to be a Ghostbuster 
if you're already an accountant?

LOUIS
Oh, no, it's just if one of the guys calls in sick or gets hurt.
Louis quickly slips off the proton pack and sets it down
