"What the hell are you doin'?!"
- Chambermaid; Ghostbusters
The Chambermaid[1] is one of the extras in the first film. She was cleaning in a hall at Sedgewick Hotel.
History[]
Ghostbusters[]
The Chambermaid was on the 12th floor of the Sedgewick when she was blasted at by Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler, fortunately evading being vaporized by diving behind her trolley which took most of the blast. She in reaction was quite upset. As she salvaged what was left of her supplies, the Ghostbusters split up and resumed their investigation. She tried to spray water on a little flame with her bottle.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game[]
As Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, and the Rookie ascend to the 12th floor in search of the recently escaped Slimer, Ray mentions the maid put a restraining order on the team. As part of a settlement with the city, the Proton Packs remain off in heavily populated public areas and in close quarters. Luckily, this also satisfies the restraining order. [2]
Trivia[]
- From early drafts to the final shooting script, the character was originally going to be a bellboy but during casting, it was changed to a chambermaid.[3]
- The "What the hell are you doing" was originally Frances Nealy's reaction to the prerigged cart's pyro work going off. The line was added into the script.[4]

John Bruno says: "For the woman who was playing the maid, they said, 'OK, push this cart, and at the end of the hallway it's going to blow up, because they're going to shoot at you.' The cart was all prerigged with pyro work. So she pushes the cart out, strobe lights go off, the cart exploded---and it scared the hell out her. She fell to the ground, looked up, and was like, 'What the hell are you doing?' It wasn't scripted. It's just what happened."
