Primary Canon History
Peter Venkman managed to wrangle a reservation for two on New Year's Eve and took Dana Barrett to dinner. Just as Peter and Dana were rekindling their romance, the other three Ghostbusters stormed into Armand's covered in Mood slime and wearing only their long underwear. They spoke hysterically about the slime and its connection to the Manhattan Museum of Art. Ray Stantz accidentally slung some of the slime on a female patron. The Maître D' called the police and had them arrested.
