SPENGLER (emphatic): Don't cross PGP and X.509. 

VENKMAN: Why not? 

SPENGLER: Trust me. It will be bad. 

VENKMAN: What do you mean "bad?" 

SPENGLER: It's hard to explain, but try to imagine Werner appearing suddenly

VENKMAN (with military authority): That's it! No X.509. You guys are
dangerous.

Peter.
