This is the transcript of Ghostbusters (Anime Version) Part 5.

(Musical montage plays)

(Music: Ghostbusters)

(At Zelda's apartment, we see Zelda watering her plants as she watches Roger Grimsby give the news on TV)

Roger Grimsby: Good morning, I'm Roger Grimsby. Today the entire eastern seaboard is alive with talk of incidents of paranormal activity. Alleged ghost sightings and related supernatural occurrences have been reported across the entire tri-state area.

(On the New York City street)

Joe Franklin: Well, everybody's heard ghost stories around the campfire. Heck, my grandma used to spin yarns about a spectral locomotive that would rocket past the farm where she grew up. But now, as if some unperceived authority...

(In the bedroom of the Ghostbusters HQ, the alarm rings. Link, Marth, Roy run out, still in their sleeping clothes. USA Today wipes to the street with the heroes fighting a demonized blue rhinoceros with red glowing eyes. New York Post wipes to outside a Chinese restaurant, where a Chinese man gives Link and Roy a free eggroll. They bow in thanks. We see the heroes fight a Moblin. Then we see Marth wielding a trap outside a building)

Marth: Stand aside, please!

(At Larry King's studio)

Larry King: Hi, this is Larry King. The phone-in topic today: ghosts and ghostbusting. The controversy builds, more sightings are reported. Some maintain these professional paranormal eliminators in New York are the cause of it all.

(At Rockfeller Center, the heroes defeat a giant ice monster. Omni wipes to Roy coming out of another building with another trap)

Roy: I got it! I got it! Link! Marth!

(In another building they defeat and capture a black wyvern. Then they triumphantly exit to a cheering crowd as Marth waves the trap. Atlantic Monthly wipes to the Ghostbusters are running down a street, brandishing their proton guns, as Casey Kasem talks before his broadcast runs to the next scene)

Casem Kasem: Still making headlines all across the country, the Ghostbusters are at it again, this time at the fashionable dance club, The Rose. The boys in gray slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance. This is Casey Kasem. Now on with the countdown.

(In the kitchen of Zelda's apartment, Zelda is listening to the radio while she's cutting carrots. She giggles and sips water. We are now see the Ghostbusters having their interviews)

Link: Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week! No job is too big! No fee is too big!

(At the Ghostbusters HQ, the phone rings at Anna's desk.

Anna: (On phone) Is it just a mist, or does it have four arms and six legs?

(In an apartment, a maiden is watching the news as she strings her cello)

TV Reporter: (To Marth) As they say in TV, I'm sure there's one big question on everybody's mind and I imagine you are the guy to answer it. How is Elvis? And have you seen him lately?

(Globe wipes to outside the Ghostbusters HQ. The Ecto-1 drives up. Two people ask the tired Link for autographs. Cut to the bedroom of the Ghostbusters HQ at night, where the heroes are sleeping. We swirl to a dream sequence in dream music. In Marth's dream, Marth is lyign in bed. He sees a dream ghost which hovers over him before it vanishes. An unseen force unbuckles his belt and unzips his pants. His eyes cross and his head knocks back in pleasure overload. Back in the bedroom, Marth falls out of bed)

(Outside the Ghostbusters HQ, we see Ike arrive as he's bearing a newspaper ad. He looks up at the Ghostbusters logo sign, as the Ghostbusters theme winds down. We are now inside the Ghostbusters HQ at Anna's desk, where Anna is interview Ike over the job)

Anna: Do you believe in UFOs, astral projection, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trans-mediums, the Abominable Snowman, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?

Ike: If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say.

(A tired Link and Marth enter)

Marth: (Sighs) I gotta get some sleep. I'm dying.

Link: You don't look good.

Marth: I don't?

Link: You looked better. You didn't used to look like this.

Anna: Can you hold, please? (She gets off the phone)

Link: (To Anna) Here's the paper for the woman out in Brooklyn. She paid with Visa.

Anna: (Hands a worksheet to Marth) Here's tonight's worksheet.

Marth: Oh, great. Two more free repeaters.

Anna: This is Ike. He's here about the job.

Marth: Excellent. You're hired. Marth, Link.

Link: Congratulations.

(Ike shakes hands with Link as he walks up to Marth)

Marth: Can you help me, please? (He gives Ike some traps) Welcome aboard.
