The Real Ghostbusters

Luigi, jump!

Ghostbusters!

Yeah!

And me! And me!

Oh, you do say the most charming things!

Kiss me, you romantic fool.

Oh, baby!

In your dreams!

Excuse me?

I'm here to see the Ghostbusters on an urgent matter.

My card.

The Great Strazinski.

Prince of Prestidigitation.

Oh, you're a magician!

And you're enchanting.

Watch him, Janine.

Any guy that pulls flowers out of his hat has got to be a cheap date.

He's not a date.

He's a client.

Venkman. Dr. Venkman.

Pay no attention to that crack about cheap.

Strazinski? Strazinski!

Gesundheit.

It's...It's...It sure is a pleasure to meet you.

I've seen your show a dozen times.

Wow. This is the Great Strazinski.

Wow!

He's the star magician at the Magic Palace!

- What can we do for you? - Wow.

Well, I've recently added a vanishing cabinet trick to my act.

The problem is my assistants keep

disappearing.

So?

You don't understand.

I mean, they're really disappearing.

Gone!

Poof!

Bravo!

Do you think you could come by the Magic Palace this afternoon

and check things out?

The Magic Palace?

Wow! Can we go, can we?

Sure, Ray. We'll even get you an ice cream cone if you're good.

This whole thing is just so strange.

I know it's odd for a magician,

but the thought of something really supernatural

terrifies me.

Guess that means you'll have to stay here, Slimer.

The Magic Palace!

When I was a kid, I used to dream about playing here someday.

You wanted to be a magician?

More than anything.

I used to practice for hours.

I called myself Stanzo the Magnificent!

In my neighborhood,

magic was getting home without a fight.

Tough ride.

Oh, boy!

Magic!

Gentlemen, thank you for coming.

- Is that the cabinet? - Yes.

These runes are definitely pre-Babylonian.

Possibly Crypto-Acadian.

I lean more towards Catolistic Lemurian.

The pre-Deluge period.

Exactly how does this trick work?

I'll show you.

Just step into the cabinet.

Ray, can you give me a hand?

What is it, Peter?

Great here wants to show me a trick.

Step in there, will ya?

Wow!

Me, working with the great Strazinski?

Terrific!

Now a few magic passes and...

- No! - Presto!

No!

Ray!

He's gone.

Now you're in trouble.

I loved that kid like a brother.

Just wait till you see your bill.

No cause for alarm, gentlemen.

Your friend is perfectly all right.

Wow! Was that ever neat!

Can we do it again?

You call that all right?

We're lucky he didn't disappear.

From my translations, this cabinet is some sort of

dimensional gateway.

- Ray. - Well, how did I do?

You lucked out.

It's possible there's a sonic activator.

Some sort of secret word.

Oh, yes. I forgot.

It's "gumba".

No!

Oops.

Guys!

Oh, no.

I'm gonna pull a rabbit out of that guy's head the next time I see him.

Where the heck are we anyway?

I'll venture a guess and say it isn't New Jersey.

It sure is hot.

You don't suppose we could be in...

As near as I can figure,

we're in some sort of alternate dimension.

Probably one ruled by a Class 8 nether entity.

And that's bad, right?

Very bad.

Hmm, looks like rain.

There's something that looks like shelter. We'd better head for it.

A little rain never hurt anybody.

I've heard of it raining cats and dogs,

but this is ridiculous.

Think we better move inside.

Oh, yeah. I'm going to feel real safe in there.

Talk about a fixer upper.

Is that what I think it is?

Wait! It could be a trap.

Let's hit 'em.

May we assist you, gentlemen.

Is this great or what?

Is it real, Egon?

They seem to be.

Well, this dimension is affecting the equipment strangely.

I got it!

They're assistants.

And I need so much help.

Magician's assistants.

Of course.

That cabinet must've been trans-vecting them here for years.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Amazing Gorgani.

Great. Now we're gonna have to pay a cover charge.

For my first trick,

I'll need a volunteer.

You, sir.

Step right up here.

Ah, no thanks.

I'm just here to see the dog act.

Hey!

Pick a card.

Show it to the audience, please.

No peeking.

Now put it back anywhere you like.

You're peeking again.

All set.

And now I shall magically discover your card.

Abracadabra.

David Copperfield!

Pasta! Is that your card, sir?

Afraid not, bunkie.

No need to get testy now.

It's not that great a trick anyway.

Whoa!

Oh, I knew this was gonna happen.

I am Gorgar.

Show me the way of your magic.

Now!

"Show me the way of your magic"?

What does that mean?

It sounds insane but I think he wants to learn a magic trick.

I've got a trick for him.

I wouldn't do that.

Speak or die!

Never hurts to try, Egon.

"Never hurts to try"?

OK, so sometimes it hurts.

How fast do you think a thing like that can fly?

For a guy with such a lousy temper,

he sure laughs a lot.

Look out!

Let's move it.

He's gaining on us.

Whoa!

It's incredible.

This place seems to be a pan dimensional matrix.

This place should be in Disneyland.

Now, how do we get out of here?

Uh-oh. Laughing boy is back.

And it sounds like he brought his brother.

Over there. I've got an idea.

Good plan, Ray.

Stupid but good.

What do we do now?

Our only hope is to find a gateway back to our own world.

Of course, given the nature of this place,

that could take centuries.

No good.

I've got library books due.

If Gorgar created a gate from our world to this one,
