Varför var Egon under Janines skrivbord i den här scenen i Ghostbusters ?
(Ghostbusters HQ - Inside)
(Janine Melnitz, the receptionist, sits at her desk reading a magazine. Peter walks up to her.) Peter: Janine! Any calls?
Janine: No.
Peter: Any messages?
Janine: No.
Peter: Any customers?
Janine: No, Dr. Venkman.
Peter: It's a good job, isn't it? Type something, will you? We're paying you for this stuff! (begins walking to his office) Don't stare at me, you got them bug eyes... Janine! Sorry about the bug eyes thing. I'll be in my office.
(After a few seconds Egon pops up from under Janine's desk. He's been fixing something.) Janine: You're very handy. I can tell. I bet you like to read a lot, too.
Egon: Print is dead.
Ghostbusters är ovanligt eftersom studion beställde två olika manusföreställningar som ofta leder till några konstiga kanonkonflikter. I det här fallet är dock de båda överens. Egon gjorde ett ledningsarbete på larmsystemet anslutet till Janines skrivbord.
Spengler crawls out, having finished the wiring job. He gazes down at her vacantly, his lower lip jutting out, a sure sign that his tremendous brain is struggling to grapple with the real world. Nobody has ever bothered to explain the facts of life to Spengler; he worked them out for himself on a pocket calculator and vaguely suspects he came up with the wrong answer.

Today, at least, he was doing something comprehensible, crawling around beneath her desk, connecting up an alarm system. Occasionally he would poke his head up, look around to get his bearings, and disappear below once more, his hands full of tools, a wire clamped in his mouth.
Intressant är att en tidigare version av manuset säger att han installerar ett telefonsystem, inte ett larmsystem, men det är tänkbart att han använder telefonlinjen som bärare för larmet.
RECEPTION AREA - DAY
A bored-looking red-headed young woman, JANINE MELNITZ, sits in a swivel chair behind the reception desk, putting another coat of red polish on her heavily lacquered nails. Spengler is on his hands and knees wiring up the telephone system.
