Plot[]

A police escort arrived at the Manhattan Museum of Art with Mayor Lenny's limousine. Jack Hardemeyer emerged first and immediately told the Ghostbusters to leave. The Mayor asked the fire captain if he could get into the museum. The captain replied jokingly, maybe with a nuclear warhead. Lenny then asked why this was all happening. Peter chimed in that they tried to explain it but Jack had them committed to Parkview Psychiatric Hospital. Jack flipped out and ordered the Ghostbusters to get rid of the slime they placed all over the museum. The Ghostbusters and Lenny stared at him and said nothing. Undaunted, he identified himself and pounded on the slime shell. He was promptly sucked in and presumed dead. Jack's shoes landed on the steps smoking. Lenny turned to Peter and asked them what they needed. Peter placed his arm around his shoulder and warned him it was going to be a big ask.
