Quotes
-
Janine Melnitz : Your father wasn't much of a homemaker. He could barely keep the power on.
Callie : You're saying he left us nothing?
Janine Melnitz : Well, I wouldn't say nothing... there is quite a bit of debt.

Winston Zeddemore : Egon was the brains. Ray was the heart. Peter just kept it cool.
Janine Melnitz : Who were you?
Winston Zeddemore : The sex appeal.
[both chuckle]
Janine Melnitz : You've done very well for yourself. A lot of shelf space.
Winston Zeddemore : [cut-scene of him entering the firehouse] See, that's the thing. I don't do it for me. I do it for my kids, and I wanna be example of what's possible.
Janine Melnitz : You still covering the rent at Ray's bookshop?
Winston Zeddemore : Ray's gonna turn a profit one of these days.
Janine Melnitz : I remember the day you came in.
Winston Zeddemore : I came in looking for a steady paycheck. But busting ghosts with the guys taught me not to be afraid. That I had the tool 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.

Janine Melnitz : I want you to take this.
[She hands Egon a coin]
Dr. Egon Spengler : What is it?
Janine Melnitz : It's a souvenir from the New York World's Fair in Flushing Meadow in 1964. It's my lucky coin.
Dr. Egon Spengler : I shouldn't take it. We might not be coming back.
Janine Melnitz : Take it anyway. I got another one at home.
