A small wanted ad was posted in the Village Voice newspaper for a secretary. Janine Melnitz, a former secretary fired for being "too brassy" to clients, was in need of a job and was intrigued by the advertisement. She drove to the address listed and found herself at a fixed-up firehouse on North Moore Street.

Janine walked in through the large area she assumed was a garage, as two men worked on an old Cadillac.

"Hello?" she said, a bit nervously. "I'm here about the secretary job."

One of the men jumped up from beneath the car. "Great!" he said, enthusiastically. He wiped his hand on his pants and extended it. "I'm Dr. Ray Stantz, it's a pleasure to meet you, Miss…"

"Melnitz. Janine Melnitz."

"Right. Well, Miss Melnitz, if you could just step into the office over here, we can get your interview started." He turned back to face the car and called to the other man, "Peter, be careful with that!"

"Okay, okay!" a voice-presumably Peter's-said.

Ray led Janine into what could be considered an office. There were chairs and a desk, which he then sat behind. She sat down in front of him.

"Did you bring any references?"

"No," Janine replied. "That's an old-fashioned idea, I think. But I can tell you that I can type a hundred words per minute, no questions asked."

"Great," he said with a hint of a sigh. "When can you start?"

Suddenly, Janine spotted another man walk in. He was tall, with dark hair and round glasses, and wore a three-piece suit. Her eyes widened at the sight of him.

"Today!" she said eagerly.

"Fantastic!" Ray stood up, then noticing the other man. "Egon," he said to get his attention. "Egon, I'd like to you meet our new secretary, Janine Melnitz."

"Hello," he said stiffly.

"Janine, this is Dr. Egon Spengler."

"Hi…"

She shook his hand and felt what could only be described as a flutter throughout her whole body. Janine was instantly attracted to this handsome intellectual.

"Welcome to the team, Janine!" Ray said proudly.

"Yes, welcome," echoed Egon.

Janine smiled. "I can tell I'll look forward to working with you."
