Ghostbusters (2020); Opening Scene 1A & 1B
Opening Scene, Part 1A:
Place: The Statue of Liberty National Monument, Liberty Island, New York City, NY 10004
https://www.nps.gov/stli/index.htm
Time: Present Day; Monday, the third full week in April; 9 AM EDT
Linda Sanchez, a [55 year old Hispanic] US Park Service Ranger, is giving a tour…
IF possible, she is portrayed by Jennifer Lopez - or Selma Hayek; in any case, I need minimum makeup for the actress - so you don't realize who she is at first
Linda Sanchez [poem is said with passion]:
“ "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore...
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
This amazing poem was written by New York City resident Emma Lazarus in 1883…
As Emma so eloquently said, The Monument is a symbol of hope, opportunity, freedom - and liberty - for people, everywhere - world-wide… Even if people in other Nations have some freedom, or even if they never decide to move to America, this beacon's existence sends a message that guides humanity towards a brighter future - where, one day, everyone will have an equal opportunity to be the person that they were "meant" to become...
Ladies and Gentlemen, our tour will continue inside the pedestal base; everyone, please give me a minute to spend alone with Lady Liberty... The Statue is especially beautiful on such a bright and sunny spring morning - and so I'd like a moment to spend time to admire her by myself.…”
Mary, also about age 55 - but she looks younger - a Caucasian woman with dark hair – [and, allegedly, a mermaid] - with human looking feet - slowly climbs out of the ocean, and struggles to walk on land…
Lucky for Mary, all NYC area local, State and Federal public service employees were given EMT training as a ‘lessons learned’ improvement after 9/11…
If possible, Mary is played by Danica McKellar – who has always wanted to be a mermaid in a movie - or in real life:
Mary [weak voice]: “Help Me!”
Linda: “I will…?Hey, I know you! You’re Mary - the Mermaid; we met -- right here [points down] — 30 years ago…

[Mary collapses in Linda’s arms; Linda lays Mary down; [head on hat - showing off Linda's long hair] and covers her with her Park Service jacket]
[On her head-set radio]: [NYC] Emergency Management Center, this is Park Ranger Linda Sanchez - out on Liberty Island; I have an unusual medical emergency; i need to speak to the EMC day shift supervisor; priority access code-phrase Tobin's Spirit Guide."
NYC EMC [If possible, played by Annie Potts]: "EMC; Supervisor Janine Melnitz here... Linda, what’s the nature of your emergency?"
Linda: "Janine, I have a 60 year old mermaid in?serious?trouble……
Janine: “Gunshot wound?”
Linda: “No. She’s not injured; no physical trauma or bleeding; She looks heathy, but she suddenly collapsed and fell unconscious.... Seems suspicious to me… That's why I asked to speak to you about it...
Janine: “Understood… Give me details about her condition.”
Linda: "Collecting data… Vitals are as follows: Temp is 101’; Pulse: 120 and weak; BP’s stable, BUT?only?80 over 60; breathing is shallow & rapid; subject is now semi-conscious; pupils are fixed, dilated, and unresponsive...”
EMC: “Linda, you are authorized to provide supplemental Oxygen…
[Linda puts the smart Oxygen mask on Mary]
Wait; wait; did you say that she’s a mermaid ???
From where you found the woman - and her medical condition - it sounds like she’s a human – who was almost a drowning victim,?not?a mermaid – with a metabolic ‘malfunction’…
In any case, I need to better assess her over-all state of health; please link me in with all your bio-medical data acquisition sources…”
Linda: “Med-net data control system… secure network tie in…” [Including bio-medical data acquisition gloves; smart bracelets, and helmet -- bedsides the Smart Oxygen Mask – which uses beyond state if the art “sensors on a chip” synthetic ‘smell;’ and ‘taste’ cybernetic augmented analysis technologies, such as predictive / programmable pre-processing by an app on Linda’s cell phone] (AI)
Janine: “Give me a few seconds while your data is being analyzed by our diagnostic evaluation software…
Mary is becoming very pale, and slightly blue
[Even Janine's getting worried] Shoot! She’s NOT doing well; her blood Oxygen level is impossibly low!?[meter reads 40%]… Increase O 2 flow rate to maximum...
Cardiac warning alarm sounds! <---[both on-site, and at the EOC]

Cardiac warning alarm; heart functions are critical! Linda, standby to de-fib - if needed…
Oh- oh! This is bad; VERY bad… Dogs and cats living together bad…
Analysis of her exhaled breath shows that she has massive internal petrochemical contamination; sky high amounts of organic & inorganic neuro-toxins; life threatening levels of heavy metals, and, WOW – significant traces of radioactive waste products... (AI)
It’s as if she’s been swimming in contaminated sea water for the past few years…
IF I didn't know better, I’d say that she's the victim of a bio-chemical terrorism attack!
Good call, Linda. Our intelligence sources indicate that we are to expect something strange, that 'don't look good' - to happen in our ‘neighborhood’ - sometime soon; this could easily have been it!
[the Statue of Liberty is a "soft target" for terrorist attacks]

Pulmonary and cardiac functions are finally improving...
Her skin color returns to normal
Get her to the foot of Manhattan; I will order an ambulance to pick her up… She needs immediate decontamination, or she will die in an hour or two……?We were smart to install anti-terror clean-up units in all major NYC Hospitals - as a 'lessons learned' after 9/11 – just for this type of emergency…
Linda, South-bound traffic into lower Manhattan is particularly heavy this morning... Don’t worry; we’re prepared for this, too! After the COVID Crisis, we've added more community based emergency medical resources; one is now located right near the World Trade Center -- Lucky for us, it just came on-line today; I will tell them to get your drowning victim to the Hospital."
Linda: "Great! ETA at our Government boat dock - using our new Coast Guard rescue hydrofoil - is in 7 minutes… Janine, again, I know this woman; she has a good heart, and she?really?needs to live!"
EOC: "We’re here to help… I've alerted Presbyterian Hospital to expect a "hot" patient... and I’m sending an alarm call to Hook & Ladder 8 to prove a life critical EMT transport.
…Alarm acknowledged... They will be there - at Boat Pier 11 to meet you; look for a very old Cadillac ambulance [vehicle]."
Scene 1B: Preamble
FDNY Hook & Ladder 8, lower Manhattan, New York City
Emergency alarm bell & buzzer sound; speaker announces the need for an ambulance at the foot of Wall Street, Lower Manhattan…?The Ghostbusters theme music plays as the 4 Ghost-busters answer the call, slide down the fire-pole, and drive out of their garage...
Quickly reaching the boat dock, they put Mary in the ‘Caddy, and drive back up-town…

Comment:
In scene 1A of my Ghostbusters 3 film, a very ill woman is diagnosed with wireless sensors, preprocessed by an app on a cell phone.
Here's a real device almost identical to what I imagined:

My sensor suite includes all possible scans, including X-ray, EEG, and especially toxicology testing, but this real $79 unit shows that my ideas are not so unusual.

Team develops silicon photonic MEMS compatible with semiconductor manufacturing (3/2023 post)
https://phys.org/news/2023-03-team-silicon-photonic-mems-compatible.html
A team of researchers led by the University of Sydney's Associate Professor Niels Quack has developed a new technology to combine optics and micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) in a microchip, paving the way for the creation of devices like micro-3D cameras and gas sensors for precision air quality measurement, including their use in mobile phones.
Why worry if Mary [the Mermaid] dies? One of the best ways to fight ghosts is to?prevent?people from dying! https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/ghostbusters-2020-scene-1c-preliminary-stephen-salgaller Dr. Stephanie Weiss, MD: “Dr. Stephanie Weiss, ICU Department, for the Ghost-busters…” GB: “Go ahead, Doctor; how’s our patent?” MD: “That’s why I’m calling you; Mary is?still?in?grave?condition…” GB: “We were afraid of that, Dr. Weiss! She did?not?look too good when we brought her in; we are truly sorry.” MD: “No, no, no, you do NOT understand! This is NOT a condolence call! I *am* the BEST Doctor there is! I NEVER give up! Others are insulted when their patients die, but I am MUCH better than that. No one has ever died while in my care, and that perfect record will NOT be broken today! I ain't afraid of no ghost, BUT I will simply NOT let my patient die – and become one!”
