Prosecutor: So what you're saying is that the world of the supernatural is your exclusive province?

Trivia: Slimer had no name in the first Ghostbusters movie, but the producers nicknamed him "onionhead" because of his awful smell. He was named Slimer in the cartoon series "The Real Ghostbusters." The name came from the scene in Ghostbusters where Ray shows Winston the containment unit and says, "This is where we store all the vapors and entities and slimers we trap." Since Venkman was slimed in the hotel, they decided to name the ghost that did it Slimer.
Question: What exactly happened to the Ghostbusters between the first film and this film? Why was a restraining order taken out against them?
