THE SKY
A bolt of lightning crackles from the swirling dark cloud and strikes the
rooftop. The Ghostbusters stand there facing their new God like Moses on Mount
Sinai. And then Gozer speaks to them in a voice that can be heard
throughout Metropolitan New York and parts of New Jersey.
GOZER: SUBCREATURES! GOZER THE GOZERIAN, GOZER THE DESTRUCTOR, VOLGUUS ZILDROHAR, THE TRAVELLER HAS COME. CHOOSE AND PERISH.
VENKMAN: (shouting to be heard) Is he talking to us?
WINSTON: What's he talking about? Choose what?
STANTZ: (to the heavens) What do you mean "choose?" We don't understand.
GOZER: CHOOSE!!
SPENGLER: I think he's saying that since we're about to be sacrificed anyway, we get to choose the form we want him to take.
STANTZ: You mean if I stand here and concentrate on the image of Roberto Clemente, Gozer will appear as Roberto Clemente and wipe us out?
SPENGLER: That appears to be the case.
VENKMAN: (quickly) Don't think of anything yet. Clear your minds. We only get one crack at this.
GOZER: The choice is made. The Traveller has come.
VENKMAN: (in a panic) We didn't choose anything! (to the others) I didn't think of an image, did you?
SPENGLER: No. They look at Winston.
WINSTON: My mind's a total void!
They all look at Stantz.
STANTZ: (guilty) I couldn't help it! It just popped in there!
VENKMAN: (desperately) What? What popped in there?
STANTZ: (pointing) Look!
They all turn and look to the south.
GHOSTBUSTERS POV
Looking south past Columbus Circle, they see part of something big and white moving between the buildings accompanied by thunderous footsteps of almost seismic proportions.
VENKMAN: He doesn't know what it is yet, but he knows it's coming.
VENKMAN: (desperately) What is it? Ray, what did you think of?
BROADWAY AND 55TH
The massive white shape passes behind some buildings, offering a glimpse
of what appears to be a fat, white arm.
STANTZ is about to go into shock.
STANTZ: (babbling) It can't be! It can't be!
COLUMBUS CIRCLE
The thundering footsteps continue to plod as the thing starts to emerge from behind the buildings. Now we can see part of a blue garment covering its enormous chest.
STANTZ recognizes the monster.
STANTZ: It's ... It's ... It's the STAY-PUFT MARSHMALLOW MAN.
Winston, Venkman and Spengler gape.
THEIR POV
They look across the roof tops and see a large, square, white, bobbing, laughing head atop a massive body of similar puffed white squares. The being is dressed in a tiny sailor's hat, red bosun's whistle and lanyard and a little blue vest with a button undone in the middle revealing a little white belly. It is the cute, quintessential American brand symbol, looming as large as Godzilla.
STANTZ (V.O.): (desperately apologizing) I tried to think of the most harmless thing... something that could never destroy us... something I loved from my childhood.
THE GHOSTBUSTERS
They watch the Marshmallow Man plodding toward them.
VENKMAN: AND YOU CAME UP WITH THAT?
STANTZ: The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man! He was on all the packages we used to buy when I was a kid. We used to roast Stay-Puft marshmallows at Camp Waconda!
VENKMAN: Great! The marshmallows are about to get their revenge.
