Choose the Form of the Destructor

Anybody raised in the 80’s surely must remember this dialog from Ghostbusters:

Gozer: Sub-creatures! Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, the Traveller has come! Choose and perish!

Ray Stantz: What do you mean, choose? We don’t understand!

Gozer: Choose! Choose the form of the Destructor!

Peter Venkman: Oh, I get it. Real cute! [to the others] Whatever we think of– if we think of J. Edgar Hoover, J. Edgar Hoover will appear and destroy us, okay? So empty your heads, don’t think of anything. We’ve only got one shot at this.

Gozer: The choice is made!

Peter Venkman: Whoa! Hold on!

Gozer: The Traveller has come!

Peter Venkman: Nobody chose anything! [turns to Egon] Did you choose anything?

Egon Spengler: No.

Peter Venkman: [to Winston] Did you?

Winston Zeddemore: My mind is totally blank.

Peter Venkman: I didn’t choose anything.

Peter Venkman: What is it?

Ray Stantz: It can’t be!

Peter Venkman: What did you do, Ray?!

Winston Zeddemore: Oh, shit!

[They all see a giant cubic white head topped with a sailor hat]

Ray Stantz: [sighs, resigned] It’s the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
