Yep. [said just as he snatches another box.] Granted, they're antiques by our standards but I'm certain we can still salvage some parts. Don't you remember when I made that prototype PKE meter back when we were still at the university?
[he made that out of blender parts and a microwave oven, just so you know.]
Whatever happened to using a normal oven? [easy answer: Peter's a lazyass. hypocritical thing to say from a guy whose lifeblood consists of take-out, but Ray never claimed to be anything else.] That's all we'll be using here. Microwave ovens were expensive in the 50s, so I don't think we'll have much of a choice.
Well, you didn't seem to happy with that cake Egon and I made for our back-in-business fling. [though to be fair, Ray really should've been watching him. there was something really bitter about that icing that tasted sorta like mushrooms.
he stops at a shelf stocked with more appliances, like blenders. intrigued, he picks a box up and hefts it in his hands, experimentally.]
I think I have a shot at making a pair of Ecto-goggles. They're not gonna be nearly as advanced as my personal pair, but it's better than nothing. [is he pouting? you bet he is.]
That's perfectly reasonable! I'm not asking you to put the darn things together. With all due respect, Pete, but I know very well that you don't know a betatron from a synchrotron so of course we'd start off simple.
I should be able to cannibalize some electronics for the needed components to create a simple accelerator. With Spengler helping, we may be able to go even further than that. If I'm assuming right, he and I are going to be working at the same garage together.
[He rolls his eyes, not sure of what he just got himself into, and continues down the aisle, touching almost everything on the shelves. He picks up a very large wrench and points it at Ray.]
This is guaranteed to work, right? This escape plan the two of you are working on, I mean.
Shhh. Not so loud! [he looks around to make sure no one heard them, then grabs Venkman by the sleeve and pulls him into a corner.]
...Theoretically, yes. Do you remember what happened when we beat Gozer? We're looking at those same odds right now. A complete protonic reversal could very well destroy this entire town and the reality it inhabitants, but...
[he looks around again, keeping his voice hushed.]
It might also open the rift back up again; the one we fell through, I mean. There's no certainty it'll work, but then again, our chances of winning against Gozer were slim to none, too.

But hey, if you don't feel comfortable with that, you could always ask me to cook for you. I've been practicing.
[he says this like it's something to be very proud of. spoilers: he's still awful.]

[He actually took interest in what Ray was saying. Any tool that might help them get out of the place was a plus in his book.]
If you think it'll do us some good, you've got my help.
...whatever that may be worth.

[- but you can't keep Ray down for long, especially when you offer your help. coming from a guy like Venkman, that means a lot. he brightens up.]
Really? Even if I make you solder PCBs and strip wires? Are you really serious, Pete?
