Walter Peck
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here.
- Walter Peck: They caused an explosion!
- Mayor: Is this true?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes it's true.
- [pause]
- Dr. Peter Venkman: This man has no dick.
- Walter Peck: Jeez!
- [Charges at Venkman]
- Mayor: Break it up! Hey, break this up! Break it up!
- Walter Peck: All right, all right, all right!
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Well, that's what I heard!
- Walter Peck: Hold it! I want this man arrested! Captain, these men are in criminal violation of the Environmental Protection Act! And this explosion is a direct result of it!
- Dr. Egon Spengler: YOUR MOTHER!
- Walter Peck: I'm Walter Peck, from the Environmental Protection?
- [Venkman shakes hands with Peck and still has ectoplasm on his hands]
- Walter Peck: Agency, the third district.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: [Peck is wiping the ectoplasm on his jacket] Great, how's it going down there?
- Walter Peck: Are you Peter Venkman?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes, I'm *Doctor* Venkman!
- Walter Peck: Exactly what are you a doctor of, Mr. Venkman?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Well, I have a PhD in parapsychology and psychology.
- Walter Peck: And now, you catch ghosts?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Yeah, you could say that.
- Walter Peck: And how many ghosts have you caught, Mr. Venkman?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: I'm not at liberty to say.
- Walter Peck: And where do you put these ghosts, once you catch them?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Into a storage facility.
- Walter Peck: And would this storage facility be located on these premises?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Yes.
- Walter Peck: And may I see this storage facility?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: No.
- Walter Peck: And why not, Mr. Venkman?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Because you did not use the magic word.
- Walter Peck: What is the magic word, Mr. Venkman?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: [looking surprised] Please!
- Walter Peck: May I *please* see the storage facility, Mr. Venkman?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Why do you want to see the storage facility?
- Walter Peck: Because I'm curious. I wanna know more about what you do here! Frankly, I've heard a lot of wild stories in the media and we want to assess any possibility of dangerous and possibly hazardous waste chemicals in your basement.
- [Peck is angered]
- Walter Peck: Now you either *show me* what is down there, or I come back with a court order.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: [Venkman snaps back] You go get a court order, and I'll sue your funny ass for wrongful prosecution.
- Walter Peck: You can have it your way, Mr. Venkman.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: [steps in front of Peck] My friend, don't be a jerk!
- Walter Peck: If he does that again, you can shoot him.
- Police Captain: You do your job, pencil neck, don't tell me how to do mine!
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Thank you, Officer.
- Walter Peck: SHUT IT OFF!
- Janine Melnitz: I've seen TV, I know you can't come in here without a warrant or writ or something!
- Walter Peck: [holding up papers] Cease and desist all commerce order, seizure of premises and chattels, ban on use of public utilities for unauthorized waste handlers, and a federal entry and inspection order.
- [pushes past her]
- [Egon is running tests on Louis who has been possessed by Vince Clortho a.k.a. The Keymaster]
- Janine Melnitz: [entering with Peck, Police Sergeant and Con Ed Man] Egon, I tried to stop them. They say they have a warrant.
- Dr. Egon Spengler: Excuse me, this is private property.
- Walter Peck: Shut this off; shut these all off.
- Dr. Egon Spengler: I'm warning you. Turning off these machines would be extremely hazardous.
- Walter Peck: No, I'll tell *you* what's hazardous. You're facing Federal prosecution for about a half dozen environmental violations. Now either you shut off these machines, or we'll shut them off for you.
- Dr. Egon Spengler: Try to understand, this a high voltage laser containment system. Simply turning it off would be like dropping a bomb on the city.
- Walter Peck: Don't patronize me, I'm not grotesquely stupid, like the people you've bilked!
- Dr. Peter Venkman: [arriving, to the officer] At ease officer. I'm Peter Venkman. I'm a partner in this facility and I'm going to cooperate in any way that I can.
- Walter Peck: Forget it, Venkman. You had your chance to cooperate, but you though it would be more fun to insult me. Well, now it's my turn, wiseass.
- Dr. Egon Spengler: He wants to shut down the protection grid, Peter.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: [to Peck] You shut that thing down, and *we* are not going to be held responsible for whatever happens.
- Walter Peck: Oh yes you will, I'll make sure you will.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: No, we won't be.
- Walter Peck: [to the electrician] Shut it off.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: [to the electrician] Don't shut it off. I'm warning ya.
- Con Edison Man: I, I never seen anything like this before. I'm not sure...
- Walter Peck: [interrupting] I'm not interested in your opinion, just shut it off.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: [gets in electrician's way] My friend, don't be a jerk.
- Police Sergeant: [gets in Peter's way] Step aside.
- Walter Peck: If he does that again, you can shoot him.
- Police Sergeant: You do *your* job, pencilneck. Don't tell me how to do mine.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Thank you, officer.
- Walter Peck: [aggravatingly shouting] Shut it off!
- [alternate wording from cable TV version]
- Dr. Raymond Stantz: Your honor, our system was working just fine until the power grid was turned off by wally wick here.
- Walter Peck: They caused an explosion!
- Mayor: [to Venkman] Is this true?
- Dr. Peter Venkman: It's true, your honor. The man is some kind of rodent, I don't know which.
- Walter Peck: [after being hit by fifty gallons worth of melted marshmallow, screams hysterically] I HATE YOU, VENKMAN!
- Dr. Peter Venkman: [to the Mayor] You could believe Mr. Pecker.
- Walter Peck: My name - is Peck.
- Dr. Peter Venkman: Or...
