First, Sigourney Weaver was their FIRST client. It was so stated when she walked into the converted firehouse. That means that "Zool" was making a mess of her refridgerator before Ghostbusters had collected their first apparition. Second, don't forget all that stuff about the origin of the building she lived in. What with the Gozer (sic) worshipping architect and the `antenna' framework. Onward to my own comments, my favorite scene is in the basement of the NY Public Library where they rush up to the apparition of the little ol' lady librarian and say `boo' and she `boo's' back a little more effectively. I didn't get the impression of a group of incompetents cleaning up their own mess. No, I got the impression of a group of people armed with technology but little idea of what they were really dealing with/in. If there was a moral-to-this-story in Ackroyd and Ramis' minds ( even sub-consciously ) this was it. Robin D. Roberts "Death to Tyrants !"
