"The blond Egon comes here every so often for drinks," Ray notes. "And both my Egon and the Egon from Peter's world came along with the blond Egon on the trip to exact vengeance. You might see any of them in here- anyway, I was stuck there for six months the first time. Wound up building a portal with Val Wiggin's philotic physics textbook that returned me here, did okay, eventually walked into that world again, and that's when I got stuck there for the filming of the movie."

He rubs at his nose and accepts the drink from the newly arrived rat. "Now, understand- the Ray Stantz in that universe is a little shorter than me, a little pudgier, and has red hair and pokier ears. Understand that I looked like that the whole time I was there- both times. And try to imagine what it's like looking like that, as a cartoon, and looking up at a movie screen- and seeing live-action going on, and some actor's got your real face. You can see where it might be just a little bit weird."
