There are about 4 spots where you can hear clear dialog being said but unfortunately it's not enough to lend a clue. If the full clip could be separated then maybe our answer would be hiding there? Someone would have to be an absolute audio wizard to remove the Moranis/Weaver dialog from it. Though I see it as an impossibility without having access to the clean audio and the film wasn't mixed to where its available.
Ah, I’ve never been enough of an audiophile to really understand how the separating of audio tracks in released films works - that’s disheartening.
The film playing while Louis and Dana talk in the hallway is called
"Lost Horizon", it's a 1937 Frank Capra film.
I found this by isolating the 5.1-DTS audio right when Dana shuts the door, Louis says "I gotta have a shower" and walks away. There's a good 3 seconds of clear audio here. There was a spot earlier in the scene where I thought I could hear something about a plane, so my first thought was "Oh, it IS Fantasy Island", but my search of all the TV episode subtitles came up empty.
After amplifying the audio for the 3 seconds, I could clearly hear the words:
"(something) doing a thing like that"
"...on the other side of the hill".
A quick Google search and the script for "Lost Horizon" popped up:

Interesting that they chose a film from 1937 though. Maybe the film playing in the Sedgewick was something from around the same time? (Maybe it was cheaper to license the rights to the audio?)
An important note here is that "Lost Horizon" is ALSO a Columbia Pictures film like "Ghostbusters".
So, one could guess that the Sedgewick audio also comes from something from Columbia?
There can't be that many of those, can there?
