This reminded me of a very, very bad movie, but one with good
potential as an instructional video for bee colony removal -
"Ghostbusters". The boys have just trapped their first ghost
in a large hotel ballroom, and need to get paid...
PETER: We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!
HOTEL MNGR: Did you see it? What is it?
RAY: We got it!
HOTEL MNGR: What is it? Will there be more of them?
RAY: Sir, what you had there is what we refer
to as a focused non-terminal repeating
phantasm or a Class 5 full-roaming vapor.
Real nasty one too!
PETER: And now let's talk seriously. Now, for the
entrapment we're gonna have to ask you four
big ones, 4 thousand dollars for that, but
we are having a special this week on proton
charging and storage of the beast and that's
only gonna come to one thousand dollars, fortunately.
HOTEL MNGR: Five thousand dollars? I had no idea it'd
be so much. I won't pay it
PETER: Ok, that's all right, we can just put it right
back in there!
RAY: We certainly can, Doctor Venkman...
HOTEL MNGR: No, no, no... Alright, anything!
(Writes check, hands it over.)
PETER: Thanks so much!
RAY: Thank you, hope we can help you again.
...Coming through!
One Class 5 free-roaming vapor!

have majored in yoga and gender studies,
leaving all the negotiating skill to the
multinationals, politicians, and pirates)
