How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Ghostbusters.
Quote #4
PETER: What happened?
POLICE CAPTAIN: Some moron brought a cougar to a party and it went berserk.
Throughout the movie, the police are shown as totally incapable of maintaining law and order. The idea of a demonic demi-god from another dimension on the loose is so far out of the Police Captain's frame of reference that he's pretty useless.
Quote #5
DANA: Are you the Keymaster?
PETER: Yes. I'm a friend of his. He told me to meet him here. I didn't get your name.
DANA: I am Zuul. I am the Gatekeeper.
Looks like even in Gozer-land there are rules. For reasons the movie never quite explains, there has to be a Keymaster and a Gatekeeper in order for Gozer to come to our dimension and do his Destructor thing.
Quote #6
POLICE CAPTAIN: We picked up this guy, now we don't know what to do with him. Bellevue doesn't want him, and I'm afraid to put him in the lock-up. And I know you guys are into this stuff, so I figured we'd check with you.
At this point, the Ghostbusters have become the authority figures. The police have no idea what to do with a possessed Louis, so they turn to our heroes as the authorities on all things weird.
