Jason was one of the kids at The Brownstone birthday party. He walked up to Ray Stantz and told him his dad said the Ghostbusters are full of crap. A mother at the party told him to hush. Ray noted some people had trouble believing in the paranormal. Jason clarified his dad said the Ghostbusters were "full of crap, and that's why they went out of business."[2]

Trivia[]

  • Jason Reitman, who portrayed the Brownstone Boy, is the son of the director Ivan Reitman.
  • In the August 5, 1988 draft, on page 5, Brownstone Boy #2 tells Ray his father thinks they were full of crap. Ray tries to change the subject with science and asks the children if any of them ever saw a hard-boiled egg get sucked through the mouth of a Coke bottle.
  • In the Ghostbusters II February 27, 1989 draft, on page 6, Jason proceeded to kick Ray in the leg. Ray then grabbed him by the shirtfront. In a low and menacing voice, Ray told Jason he was watching him.
    • An aspect of this scene survives into the final version of the movie. After Winston Zeddemore played the "Ghostbusters" song, Ray turned away from Jason as the boy sat down clutching his shirtfront before he joined in with the other children.
