"This is Dr. Peter Venkman, Ghostbuster. Or ex-Ghostbuster, I guess, but that depends on how ya look at things. Not like we've been short on ghosts to bust in this place. Leave a message."

As soon as we're back in Deerington, then.

[It's kinda nice, making plans for the future like this. And ignoring the fact that there's no guarantee that they're not trapped on the Titanic for the rest of their lives.

And honestly, the fact that she's not pushing almost makes Venkman want to tell her anyway. There's a tinge of relief in his reply.]

Thanks, Jessie. [He even got the name right this time!] I'm glad you've got Buzz with ya. Sounds like you two are lucky to have each other. Especially here.

[And yeah, he's still a bit bitter that he's just got Ray here, and not the other two, but he tries not to let the wistfulness leak into his voice. He is happy for her, and he's grateful that he's not alone.

On the bright side, the fact that there's only two Ghostbusters here means Jessie'll probably never find out the whole sordid truth until it's spelled out for her. Sure, him and Ray is easy enough to figure out if she's observant- him and Ray and Winston and Egon, though... There's a bombshell for another day.]

You got it.

[It's nice to hope that they'll see Deerington again. Jessie never thought she'd miss the dang place, but it's for sure the lesser of two evils.]

We are! I know I'd be lost without him. Here or back home, honestly. He's a keeper.

[That sure would be quite the thing. At least toys don't tend to stress out all that much about social conventions. There's one good thing about technically not being people and that's that they don't really judge actual people all that much. ]
