00:07What is myth today?
00:09The answer is very simple.
00:11Myth is a type of speech.
00:13Everything can be a myth,
00:15provided it is conveyed by the proper discourse.
00:17Myth is not defined by the object of its message,
00:20but, by the way, it utters its message.
00:27So, I'll let you think you're pretty smart, don't you?
00:49If there's something strange in your neighborhood,
00:52who you gonna call?
00:57If there's something weird and it don't look good,
01:02who you gonna call?
01:05That's right.
01:13Are you bringing a ghost?
01:15Can I see you change?
01:17Gonna do your head?
01:19Who you gonna call?
01:22Ghostbusters!
01:26I'm bringing a ghost!
01:29You know, Bustin' makes me feel good!
01:34I'm bringing a ghost!
01:39I'm bringing a ghost!
01:41I'm bringing a ghost!
01:43Woo!
01:45Woo!
01:45Woo!
01:46Woo!
01:47Woo!
01:50Woo!
01:52Woo!
01:53Woo!
01:55Woo!
01:57Hey, look what I found.
01:59A thousand and one riddles for all occasions.
02:02What does a man do standing up,
02:04a woman sitting down,
02:05and a dog on three legs?
02:08What?
02:09Shakes hands!
02:11Oh, my sides.
02:17Oh!
02:18Ow!
02:19Ow!
02:21Egon, what's wrong?
02:22Nothing, nothing. I'm perfectly all right.
02:29Maybe you better sit down.
02:39You've been running around keeping up quite a pace for the past two weeks.
02:44Don't you think it's time you settle down, let the kids do the legwork?
02:48Why? You don't think I can keep up with them, do you?
02:51I'm over the hill. I'm past my prime.
02:53One foot in the grave.
02:56No, no, no.
02:57I just think it's time you gave up field work and devoted yourself more to research.
03:03And I'm more than willing to help.
03:05We could spend all our time in the basement together.
03:11Look, just because my hair is turning gray and I'm getting flabby,
03:15my eyesight and hearing have diminished,
03:17my metabolic rate has slowed down,
03:19and I'm no longer producing brain cells.
03:21It doesn't mean I'm getting old.
03:24Egon, you just got a call from a janitor at the university.
03:27You coming?
03:28I'm way ahead of you.
03:31That's not what I was saying.
03:43Egon, slow down.
03:44That was a red light?
03:46Maybe you should let me drive.
03:47Oh, now this is a good idea.
03:51Boy, this place sure brings back memories.
03:54Ray and I were kicked out of here back in 82 for trying to reanimate the dead.
03:58I was only three years old back then.
04:01Look out!
04:05What the heck?
04:07Oh, you ran over the parking lot spikes.
04:10And I just located the tires this morning.
04:12Shut up.
04:13Well, they should make these signs a lot bigger.
04:22Cool.
04:23Department of Philosophy.
04:24Wonder what these guys think about all day.
04:26Probably got to get it deep.
04:28Step aside.
04:29Let me show you how we did this in the old days.
04:48Sorry about that.
04:49Sorry, that's my mistake.
04:50I thought you were a demon.
04:54Say, Egon, could you go a little easy?
04:57I'd like to transfer to this school someday.
05:00Egon!
05:01Over here!
05:08Roland, Kylie, search for tangible evidence.
05:10Garrett, take some readings.
05:11Eduardo, check the computer for any anomalies.
05:13Come on, come on, come on.
05:14Snap to it, people.
05:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:16What's the point?
05:18Everything can be a myth, provided it is conveyed by the proper discourse.
05:22Pfft, I hate this kind of egghead ball.
05:26Aha, just as I suspected.
05:29What?
05:30What is it?
05:31Drool.
05:31Ugh, looks like at least a class six.
05:34I found some very strange fibers.
05:37Let's take the professor back to the lab for further testing.
06:02Let's take the professor back to the lab for further testing.
06:10Hmm.
06:18He's not showing any brainwave pattern.
06:22Sounds like something wiped out all his theta waves.
06:24Theta waves?
06:26Cosmic waves emitted by the inner recesses of the mind's eye.
06:33Hmm.
06:34Fascinating.
06:39Incredible.
06:40What is it?
06:40What do you got?
06:41Among the physical samples you've found are a dog hair, a lion hair, a snake scale, and a strand from
06:47a bird wing.
06:48What are you saying?
06:49Barnum and Bailey's run amok?
06:51I still haven't been able to identify this gray hair.
06:55Ah.
06:56It's from your head.
06:59We're dealing with a composite creature.
07:01A creature made out of several different animals, like a griffon, or a basilisk, or even a sphinx.
07:07Oh, like the sphinx in Egypt sphinx.
07:10Don't any of you know your classical mythology?
07:13I saw Clash of the Titans when I was a kid.
07:16Oh.
07:17The ancient Greeks also had a sphinx.
07:20It asked everyone it meant a riddle.
07:23If you didn't know the answer, you were in big trouble.
07:26Could you elaborate on big trouble?
07:28It's systematically wiped out half the entire population of thieves, leaving pestilence, plague, and horror in its wake.
07:40They are the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
07:43What is death?
07:45Famine.
07:46Plague.
07:49And that ends the round.
07:51Stay with us for double jeopardy, where anything can happen.
08:05So, I'll bet you guys think you're pretty smart, don't you?
08:11What?
08:12What are you?
08:14Hmm, it looks like a griffon.
08:16No, I think it's a basilisk.
08:18A basilisk!
08:19A sphinx.
08:21I'm a sphinx.
08:23Don't you guys know anything?
08:26W-w-what do you want from us?
08:28I only wish to pose a simple riddle.
08:32Mm-hmm.
08:32A riddle?
08:33Hmm.
08:34Now, that shouldn't be too hard.
08:36Do we have to phrase our response in the form of question?
08:39What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night?
08:47Walks on four legs in the morning.
08:48I don't know.
08:49Come on.
08:50Think fast.
08:52And I thought you guys were smart.
08:57I know.
08:58A dancing bear.
09:01I know.
09:02Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:15Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
09:32I was delivering a sausage of mushroom pizza when this thing just flew off the roof.
09:37It was horrible.
09:38Hey, no point in wasting that pizza.
09:40Who's going to pay?
09:41Um, he is.
09:49I just missed it by like 20 minutes.
09:53I'd like to buy a battle pad.
09:5520 minutes, huh?
09:56They must have been watching Jeopardy.
09:58Geeks love that show.
10:00Hey, Egon, what's with your leg?
10:02Nothing.
10:03I injured it playing football.
10:06Football?
10:07Aren't you a little old for football?
10:10Step aside.
10:11I'll handle this.
10:12If you saw this thing again, do you think you could identify it?
10:16Yeah, I suppose.
10:19Do you recognize any of these creatures?
10:23That's the guy.
10:24That's the one I saw.
10:26Ladies and gentlemen, we've got a sphinx.
10:29on our hands.
10:32Several of the city's most prominent scientists and educators have been stricken by an unexplained illness.
10:41Health authorities assure the public that there is no cause for alarm.
11:05This is the New York headquarters for Mensa.
11:11Why'd the sphinx hit this place?
11:13These guys don't look so smart.
11:15You gotta have an IQ of like 132 to get in.
11:17I used to be in Mensa.
11:19They kicked me out after I was disbarred by the American Science Association.
11:23132, huh?
11:25Now they probably have a collective IQ of 10.
11:27Maybe the sphinx is absorbing all their intellectual energy so it can become some kind of super-intelligent being.
11:34The key to this has got to be the riddle.
11:37Egon, what is the riddle of the sphinx?
11:38I don't know.
11:40Nobody knows.
11:41Oh, Egon.
11:43I noticed you've been having a little trouble with your legs, so I got you something.
11:46What am I supposed to do with that?
11:49It's a cane.
11:50I know what a cane is.
11:52There's nothing wrong with my leg.
11:54Roland, what do you think you're doing?
11:56Modifying my blaster to increase the power flow.
12:00Give me that.
12:03There.
12:03Just take out the surge inhibitor.
12:05It'll more than double the firepower.
12:08Didn't you put that inhibitor in there for a reason?
12:10Yeah.
12:11And I just took it out for a reason.
12:14Whoa, easy, boys.
12:15Break it up.
12:16There's a beast out there taking out every brain in the city, and we still don't know where it's going
12:21to strike next.
12:24Tonight, leading intellectuals from around the world will meet at the UN building for a conference on world peace.
12:37I suppose you've been kicked out of the UN, too.
12:40Actually, I've never been to the UN.
12:42Now remember, if you run into the sphinx, do not let it ask you the riddle.
12:47Just stall it and play dumb.
12:50Oh, it'll be easy for you, Eddie.
12:56Bart, where do you think you're going?
12:58I'll handle this.
12:59We're the Ghostbusters.
13:02So?
13:03We're on a mission of international importance.
13:06Have you seen anyone who looks like this?
13:13Way to go, Egon.
13:15Now you've been kicked out of the UN, too.
13:28Halt.
13:29Where do you think you're going?
13:31We're here to repair the air conditioning system.
13:34Something about mysterious fumes?
13:37Don't you smell that?
13:40No.
13:41Oh, that is one of the advanced symptoms.
13:46Oh, this is bad.
13:48You better check into a hospital before your brain crystallizes completely.
13:51Ah!
13:53We gotta hurry.
13:54It's already inside the building.
13:56Sixth floor.
13:57Let's move.
13:58Hey, why don't you guys take the stairs?
13:59It'll be faster.
14:03Um, Egon, maybe you should go with Garret.
14:06Good idea.
14:07Garret and I can provide backup.
14:30Garret and I can provide backup.
14:44Garret and I can provide backup.
14:45Okay, everyone.
14:45Spread out.
14:51On three.
14:53Three!
14:58Where'd it go?
15:00Remember what Egon said.
15:01Play dumb.
15:02and whatever you do, don't let it ask the riddle.
15:07So, you tracked me down,
15:10and you think you cannot hook me?
15:14You guys must think you're pretty smart, don't you?
15:18Don't look at me.
15:19I can't even find the U.S. on a map.
15:28Oh, no. No. I know your type.
15:32You think you know everything.
15:36You are vain and arrogant.
15:40But only I know the truth.
15:44They're the ones you want, not me.
15:46They think they're smarter than me.
15:48They think they're smarter than everybody.
15:51Really now? Is that right?
15:55Now!
16:05I can't control it!
16:20You guys okay?
16:22Yeah.
16:23Luckily, my brain took the brunt of it.
16:26Well, these are toasted.
16:28Now I know why Egon put the surge inhibitor in there in the first place.
16:35Oh, come on. You gotta be kidding.
16:41That's not gonna do any good.
16:44Let me do that.
16:46Get out of my way!
16:47I can handle this, Ray!
16:49I am not!
16:51Ray!
16:51What is your problem?
16:53I was just trying to help.
16:55Why?
16:56You don't think I can handle myself because I'm disabled?
16:59Thanks, Egon.
17:00Thanks a lot.
17:02No, it's...
17:04I'm the one who's disabled.
17:06It's called...
17:08old age.
17:09Old?
17:10No way!
17:11You're what?
17:1250, 55?
17:13I'm 39.
17:15I'm a wash-up, a has-been, a failure.
17:19No one cares what I have to say anymore.
17:21You kids, you're young and bright and energetic.
17:25I'm killing myself just trying to keep up with you.
17:28Hey, we care what you have to say.
17:32We don't need you running around like Rambo,
17:34kicking in the doors and barking out orders.
17:36We can handle the legwork.
17:38It's your experience and knowledge and wisdom we rely on.
17:42That's what we really need from you.
17:44Now, let's get this show on the road.
17:54Be honest.
17:55Aren't you dying to know what the riddle of the Sphinx is?
17:58It could be an enlightening experience.
18:01To be honest, no.
18:04Hey, the emergency power system must have kicked in.
18:07Yeah, well, at least now we can see where we're going.
18:09What?
18:09What?
18:10Whoa!
18:10Do you like riddles?
18:13I have a riddle.
18:15I, uh, I changed my mind.
18:17What's a riddle?
18:21Step aside.
18:23I'll handle this.
18:27What walks on four legs in the morning,
18:31two in the afternoon,
18:33and three in the evening?
18:41Come on.
18:42Come on.
18:43Come on.
18:44I have a cut all night.
18:46Time's up.
18:49Man.
18:50Man?
18:52You see, man crawls on all fours during the infancy of his life,
18:57on two legs during his prime,
18:59and walks with a cane in his old age.
19:02In case you didn't know,
19:04the cane is an ancient symbol of wisdom.
19:11That's right.
19:13All right!
19:15Way to go, Egon.
19:16I, I don't believe this.
19:19This never happened before.
19:22There's gotta be a mistake.
19:25Okay, I've got another one.
19:27What a rip!
19:28Out the way!
19:29Not so fast.
19:32I've got a little riddle for you.
19:34What goes on four wheels and kicks Sphinx's butt?
19:55Local health authorities attribute last night's outbreak at the United Nations
20:01to mysterious fumes from the air conditioning system.
20:05Oh, stupid bipeds!
20:07Whatever happened to giving credit where credit is due?
20:13Janine,
20:14do you think I should dye my hair?
20:18Egon,
20:19I think you look very distinguished.
20:24Hey, yo, Egon,
20:25we just got a call.
20:26You coming?
20:27No, I've got some research to catch up on.
20:30I think you guys can handle yourselves.
20:33You know, Egon,
20:35we could be stuck here all night.
20:38I ordered sandwiches.
20:43Slimer,
20:43your usual.
20:56I think I've learned something today.
20:58With age comes experience and wisdom.
21:01It's okay to grow old.
21:03It's what's up here that counts.
21:22When the things that slitter in the shadows
21:26keep you up late at night,
21:31when there's something lurking in your closet
21:35who can make you feel all right.
21:41All right.
21:42Wooo!
21:44Wooo!
21:45Wooo!
