Dr. Peter Venkman asks Janine if they have had any customers and then insults her in frustration when she repeatedly tells him no.

Later, Winston Zeddmore answers a job advertisement in the paper and is interviewed by Janine. Dr. Raymond Stantz and Peter walk in and Raymond hires him on the spot. A group of vehicles pull up to Ghostbusters headquarters and Walter Peck walks into the building with a Police Captain and a Con Edison Man. Janine tries to stop them, but they barge their way downstairs. Peck orders the Con Edison Man to shut down all the equipment, but Dr. Egon Spengler warns them against it. Peck orders the Con Edison Man to shut it down and after he does, alarms start blaring. Peck tells the Police Captain that he wants the Ghostbusters arrested.
