INT. WALSHHOME - DAY

CREDITSOVERVARIOUS CLOSE-UPSof the goonies' HANDSand FACES a-s they perform the secret 'ifOony-handshake. It is a very poetic, beautifully synchronized series of movements which displays a sense of kinship and brotherhood. We hear the VOICE OF MIKEY, ~eciting the GOONYOATH, over these images. ·

MIKEY(V.O.)
"I will never betrar my goon dock friends, We will stick together until the whole words ends, Through heaven and hell, and nuclear war, Good pals like us will stick like tar, In the city, or the country, or the forest, or boonies, I am proudly declared, one of the goonies!"

The prisoners crowd into a LINE. They PASS the watchful guard, who taps his palm.with the threatening billy club. Two ASSISTANTGUARDS lead the prisoners into another hallway. Toward the CAFETERIA. When all of the prisoners have exited, the guard turns to FOLLOW. He PAUSES. Hearing a NOISE. A CREAKING. The guard TURNS. He sees SOMETHING. At hallway's END. In the LAST cell. A DARK FIGURE. SWINGING back and forth. The guard WALKS to the cell. CURIOUS. CAUTIOUS. Hand GRIPPING his gun. He STOPS.

Simon, look out!

The van swerves hard right, allowing the Fratelli O.R.V. to screech around it. Now suddenly looming up from behind the right side: A POLICE PATROLCAR!

Simon swings the large van back hard left to accomodate the patrol car as:

A SECONDPATROLCAR starts to overtake the van fran the left side! The van spins in ·confusion, blocking the road sideways as A THIRD PATROLCAR skids to a stop in front of it, barely avoiding a er.ash. ·

He suddenly stops as he hears FRANTIC POUNDINGand AGONIZED SCREAHS from within the rear of the van! Rushing to the side door, the Officer starts to jerk it open as:

SIMON

INT. ATTIC

DARK. DUSTY. The attic is crowded with historical Cauldron Point museum pieces. They date from the middle and late SIXTEENTH CENTURY. There are OIL PAINTINGS, SCULPTURES, antique FURNITURE,COSTUMES, WHALING HARPOONS,PIRATE AND FISHING MEMORABILIA,etc.

A LARGESKYLIGHT looms over. the priceless collection. BLACK,RAGINGstorm clouds are visible through the skylight windows. The.oncoming RUMBLINGOF THUNDER can be heard.

The boys enter through a TRAP DOORin the floor. Brand is FIRST. He shines his.FLASHLIGHT through the attic. The ·others FOLLOW. Mikey is the last to clumb inside. He sees the attic for the FIRST TIME. SHOCKED. AMAZED.All of the boys stare wide eyed at the roomful of items.

MOUTH
I can't believe somethin' this cool is in your house.
CHUNK
Yeah. We only keep old Christmas decorations in our attic.

THUNDERCRACK! A FLASHOF LIGHTENING. From the skylight a mosaic of rain patterns slowly dances across the Goonies.

MIKEY

Okay. You guys saw it. Let's get - outta' here.
BRAND
Whatsa' matter? Scared again?
MIKEY

Brand's eyes burn. He GRABSMikey in another headlock.

understand? Huh?

Mikey forces a nod. Wheezing. Brand releases his grip. Mikey LIES on the floor. Catching his breath.

MIKEY
Can we go now? It's dusty up here. My hay fever's actin' up.

Brand leads Mikey and the others on a trek through the attic. Mikey follows. Suddenly, a HIGH PITCHEDVOICE INTERRUPTS.

MOUTH (O.S.)
Mikey ... Oh, Mikey ... You•re such a cute little boy.,.Come and kiss me.• ,

The boys turn to the direction of the voice. It ECHOESfrom behind the tattered OIL PAINTINGof the naked woman and Pirate Captain. A TONGUE juts out of a tear in the woman's mouth, LASCIVIOUSLYlicking its lips. Mikey STARES. SHOCKED. Brand and Data SHAREa chuckle. Suddenly, a FINGERpops out of each of the woman's nipples. The fingers twist and turn. Creating a bizarre image. Mouth calls out, again imitating a woman.·

MOUTH (O.S.)
Come here, Mikey. Make me feel like a woman.
MIKEY
Stop bein' so perverted, Mouth. You're wreckin' the painting.

Mouth's head POPS UP from behind the painting.

The kids continue WALKINGthrough the attic. They INVESTIGATEthe various ITEMS.

The boys RUMMAGEthrough the items. Each of the boys GRABS a particular piece of Pirate CLOTHINGor EQUIPMENT. Mikey puts on an EYE PATCH. Mouth and Data find large PIRATE HATS with feathers. Brand GRABSa SWORD. Chunk puts on a-Pirate COATand SCARF.

As the boys continue to investiage, Data stares in awe.

DATA .
Just think of it.• .. All this stuff belonged to guys who walked on the same ground that we do •.. went swimmin' in the same ocean, breathed the same air ...
CHUNK
Yeacchhh. They had to breathe the Herring Factory _air too?
DATA
Naw... they didn't have herring then. This was right after Christopher Columbus ... the 16th century ... they only had ships. They were adventure guys and explorers ... they made maps and captured Indians and spent all their time killin' each other with swords ... ya' know... Errol Flynn stuff. '

Mikey flips through a collection of framed portraits and photographs, He SPOTS something that catches.his interest. A FRAMEDMAP. But the map is impossible to read. It is covered by a YELLOWED, DUSTYPIECE OF GLASS. Mikey tries to remove tire FRAME. Won't budge. He TURNSover the map. The back is covered by a sheet of WOOD.. There is only one way to read the map: Break the glass. Mikey can't bring himself to do it.

37 He sees Chunk STRUGGLINGto remove a paint can from his 37 (Cont'd) foot •. Mikey SMILES. l,n IDEA.

Mikey holds out the map to Chunk.

MIKEY
Hey, Chunk ... hold this for me.

Chunk gives a NOD. He takes the map from Mikey. Mikey turns. Pretending to examine another framed picture. WAITING. Within a matter of seconds Chunk loses his balance. He drops the map. It hits the fl-oor. Its glass covering shatters into a million pieces. Mikey picks up the map. He feigns an ANGRYlook at Chunk.

MIKEY
Can't you do anything right?

Chunk gives an embarrassed shrug.

Mikey picks up the map. He removes a few small remaining pieces of glass. The map easily slides out of the frame. Along with a small, golden DOUBLOONthat is fixed in the map's frame. Mikey studies the map and the doubloon. The map is now completely visible. It is beautifully detailed. ELABORATE. HAND PAINTED. All of the writing on the map is in SPANISH. The map is signed "ONE EYEDWILLY"! Mikey STARESat the signature. There is an intricate drawing of a coas.tline. The coastline leads to a mountainous cliff. Below the cliff is a large "X". CAMERADOLLIES TOWARD THE nxu.

Mikey is FASCINATEDby the.map. Brand suddenly grabs the map out of Mikey's hand. The other guys gather around, all wearing various pieces of Pirate clothing and equipment. Chunk looks over Mikey's sho~lder, studying the Doubloon.

Brand .. ;can we ·give you a lift somewhere?

Brand SMILES, his eyes locking with Andy's in a moment that tells us they're "communicating". Troy NOTICESthis and fumes. He forces a SMILE to Brand.

TROY
Yeah, Waish ... Grab hold of somethin' you can handle.

Brand GRABS hold of the door handle. Troy TIGHTLYgrasps Brand's wrist. Troy TURNSUP the radio and floors the gas. Brand is TRAPPED. The Mustang is true to its stats, it goes from zero to sixty in 8.0 seconds ... and so does Brand. The bike pedals are churning so quickly, Brand has to lift his feet from the bike. Andy SCREAMS.

ANDY· Troy! ! ! Let 'im go! ! ! !You're going tod fast!! You're gonnakill ' im ! ! ! ! Let ' im go! ! !

Troy NODSand releases his grip on Brand. Troy SMILES at Brand.

Mikey arrives at the top. Data and Chunk are BEHINDhim, followed by Mouth. They stand on the EDGEof the hill. They are met with a SURPRISINGSIGHT. BELOW the boys, on the opposite side of the hill, is a tiny AREAOF LAND. A MINI-PENNINSULA. Thrashing ocean waves and jutting rocks surround the grassy penninsula. A small CEMETARYis built on a small section of land. POTTER'S FIELD. Crowded with old, crooked, GRAVESTONES.Built BESIDE the cemetary is

EXT. LIGHTHOUSELOUNGE - DAY

A rectangular, ONE STORYbuilding. RUNDOWN. DISTORTED by the years. Its white wood exterior is CRACKED~ ROTTING. The building is CROOKED. Its windows TWISTEDand DIRTY. A broken red and green NEONSIGN hangs over the building. A TALL, CROOKEDLIGHTHOUSE is built beside the building. An OPEN-CLOSEDsign hangs in the front door window. The heavy wind BLOWSthe sign. SPINNINGit around. We AREN'T CERTAIN if the place is open or clos·ed. SHADOWSpass by the dirty windows. There is a SINISTER, EERIE_quality to this place.

Mikey STARES. In AWE. MUMBLING to hims~lf, he excitedly looks at the map. But the map seems to END. Mikey is· PUZZLED. He suddenly gets an idea. He FOLDSthe map like. a MADMAGA~INE back cover. To Mikey's delight, the folded pieces form another MAP. Mikey REMOVESthe doubloon from his pocket. When he PLACESthe doubloon over the map, everything appears to be more CLEAR. He gets everyones ATTENTION,pointing to the map.

MIKEY
See this ... here's where we are now.

Mikey POINTS to the "X" below the cliff. SMALLFOOTPRINTS have been sketched on the map. They FORMa line from the bottom of the hill to the "X".

MIKEY 57

(Cont'd) This is where the rich stuff's

buried ... (POINTS back to house) Down there some place.

Mouth reads the SPANISHphrase written beside :the footprints.

MOUTH
"Six times·five, Stretching feet, To lowest point, Get the treat!"

The boys PAUSE. Figuring out the RIDDLE.

MIKEY
Six times five. That's thirty.
DATA
Stretching feet ... your feet stretch when you walk .. .
MIKEY
I got it! If we walk 30 paces ... to the lowest point ... we'll get the treat ... the rich stuff!
CHUNK
(gets a chill)
I dunno ... it's gettin' late ... My Mom's gonna be worried. Besides ... what's that place doin' open in the fall? It's only a summer place. Seems pretty creepy to me.

The kids suddenly NOTICE something. They TURN to the lounge. A DARKCAR pulls into the driveway. TWOTALL MEN, wearing dark, business suits, get out. They WALKto the ' restaurant door. They ENTER. Data TURNS-to Chunk.

DATA
- See. There's nu thin' to be scared of. Two other customers are goin' in.
CHUNK
Maybe they ain't customers ... maybe they're drug dealers or somethin'.

57 DATA 57 (Cont'd) Drug dealers? Did you see their

clothes? J.C. Penney Polyester. Drug dealers wouldn't be caught dead in those rags.

MIKEY
Data, did you bring your binoculars?

Data is frantically searching for the right cord, wanting to answer the call of duty. He mumbles to himself.

DATA
Yeah ... binoculars ... binoculars ...
(finds the right cord, nods and screams)
Spy Eyes!

Data pulls one-of his CORDS•from beneath his shirt. A mechanical device RAISES from Data's chest, with a pair of cheap opera glasses attached to the end. The glasses stop in front of Data's eyes. But when he moves to look through them, the glasses fly from their place and shoot forward .. Data gives a shrug. Mouth looks over Mikey's shoulder at the map.

MOUTH
so what made you think nobody ever followed this map before and made.off with whatever's buried there?
MIKEY
They could've. But I never heard of anybody finding more stuff than alreadys in the museum. And anyway, to grownups, this is already worth enough. Some arky-logicalists dig up a map that's a buncha' years old .•. they throw a wooden frame around it, hang it in a museum, and call it art.
MOUTH
-okay ... but, how're we s'posed to dig · for anything? Knock on the door? Ask whoever's there ... "S'cuse me ... mind if we wreck your floor?"
MIKEY
Look. The place is obv'sly open for bizness ... We can pretend like we're comin' in for somethin' to eat ... then joint the case.

CHUNK
That sounded like gunshots. Not the big ones you hear in war movies, but real ones.
MIKEY
Gunshots! Jeeeezzz ... Chunk, turn off your brain. Somebody probably dropped a pot in the kitchen!

Mikey CONTINUESto move forward. The boys FOLLOW. They are now a little SHAKEN. Eyes DARTING back and forth. A bit more cautious. They arrive at the front of the building. Mouth peers through the filthy FRONTDOORwindows. Mikey and Data walk to the side of the building. They try to LOOK into the windows. -TOOHIGH. The boys spot a PILE of discarded ORANGECRATES. They stand the orange crates on end. Climbing up onto them.

They PEER through the windows. Chunk WALKSto an outdoor soda machine that sits next to a closed garage. Chunk tries to peer into the garage, starts to open the door, INVESTIGATING IT.

The Goonies enter. Looking• around. Everything is SILENT. DESERTED. Chunk races inside and starts pulling at everybody's clothing, trying to signal them with bizarre hand signs and wild descriptive gestures that make him look totally not of this earth. He finally gets out a FEWWORDS.

Chunk is INTERRUPTEDby the SOUND OF A SLAMMINGDOOR! The kids nearly JUMP out of their skin! They turn to the DIRECTION of the sound!

The SHADOW of a person stands bythe restaurant door. The person has JUST CLOSEDthe door. They step FORWARD. INTO TEE LIGHT. IT IS MAMA FRATELLI! We immediately RECOGNIZE HER from the earlier JAIL BREAK. She GLARES.at the boys.

MAMA

MOUTH
(trembling)
L-L-L-L-Long enough to see that this place needs about 400 Roach Motels.

Immediately, Mama takes a strong dislike to Mouth. Chunk is in the background frantically signaling and * mouthing ... 'don't piss her off'. She LEADSthe boys to a table. She CALLSto the back room.

We hear a LOUDTHUMP from the back room. rollowed by Jake's VOICE.

Jake pokes his head out. He sees the KIDS. He PAUSES. MUTTERINGunder his breath.

JAKE

Mama SNAPSher fingers at her son.

MAMA
Now go on. Get in the kitchen. Warm up the stove.

Jake RELUCTANTLYwalks to the kitchen. He walks PAST the Goon kids. Jake GLARES dpwn at·the kids. Eyes filled with ANGER. He enters the KITCHEN. The kids take their seats at a CROOKEDTABLE. I.t is IMPOSSIBLEto eat a meal at this table. It is WOBBLY. DIRTY. STICKY. Set with filthy, YELLOWED dishes and RUSTYsilverware. Mikey LIFTS his fork. It is attached to the table by a long, gooey WADOF CHEWED GUM. Throughout this, Chunk is trying to gesture and explain to the boys, but he is so excited, ONLYAIR comes out. MamaTOWERS over the boys. FROWNING down on them.

MAMA

You boys like tongue?

The boys all SHAKE THEIR HEADS. SCARED. Mama catches herself. She MOVES the knife away. RELEASING her grip on Mouth's tongue. Mama smiles falsely, and walks back to the kitchen's SWINGINGDOORS. Mouth COVERS his mouth. In PAIN. Mikey GETS UP from his chair. He begins to LOOKAROUND. SEARCHINGfor a spot on the floor, a trap door, anything that would indicate a buried treasure. LOUDARGUING IS HEARD from the kitchen. -~

JAKE (O.S.)

MOUTH
Chunk, I'm startin' to O.D. on all your bullshit stories.

A LOUDSOUND suddenly echoes through the place. CHURNING. BUMPING. WHIRRING. It sounds like a WASHINGMACHINE gone BERSERK. The kids EXCHANGE a FRIGHTENEDGLANCE. We hear the voice of a man SCREAMINGOBSCENITIES.. On the far wall ... A DOORFLIES OPEN! A MANSTORMSOUT! It's FRANCIS FRATELLI.

His clothes and body are SPLATTERED,STA.INEDby a DARKGREEN INK. He is SCREAMING. BOILINGMAD. He is YELLING across the hallway to Mama, holding up his hand .. A drawing of Ullyses s. Grant has been STAMPEDonto his hand.

Francis sees the table of kids. STARINGat him. Francis PAUSES. STARTLED. He COVERS the stamp on his hand and DASHESback through the door. As if he were caught doing something WRONG. We hear him latching several LOCKSon the door behind him. The boys exchange another MYSTERIOUS GLANCE.

The KITCHENDOORS SHOOT OPEN! Mama STRADDLESOUT! Carrying a tray of GLASSES1n one arm. The metal CLEAVER in the other. The glasses a.re filled with RUSTY, ORANGECOLORED - WATER.

MOUTH

Mama TURNSto Mouth. RAGEin her eyes. Mouth starts pouring his water from one glass to the other. It sounds a little like going to the bathroom. This is driving Mikey crazy. He starts to bounce up and down on his seat, knocking his knees together. He excitedly whispers to. Mouth.

MIKEY
Cut it out, Mouth! This is the sorta place that has Daddy Long-legs in the restroom.

The kitchen doors FLY OPEN again. Jake exits. He is wearing APRONS. Covered with BLOOD. His hands and arms are also STAINEDwith blood. He is carrying A HUGESTEAMING POT. A ladel RESTS in the pot. He RESTS the pot on the table. LOOKINGat the boys.

JAKE
Who ordered fish surprise?

Chunk nervously raises his hand. Jake ladels the GROTESQUE contents of the pot into Chunk's plate. The fish surprise is made'up of a black, JELLIFIED LIQUID. Loaded with FISH HEADSand BONES. Chunk FROWNS.

Devilishly, Mouth pours a thin, noisy stream of water from one glass which he holds high above the other.

Jake speaks as if he were talking to a DOG.

JAKE

Sloth GRUNTS. He holds out TWO ARMS. They come INTO THE LIGHT. The arms are THICK, MUSCULAR. Covered with CURLY BROWN HAIR. TORN, FRAYED shirt sleeves hang from the arms. HEAVY METAL CHAINSare attached to his wrists. They SECURE Sloth to the wall. His arms STRETCH out for the food. Like a STARVING child. Mikey WATCHES. EYES WIDE. SHOCKED.

Mikey conti'nues to descend. The kids cautiously follow. Another GROWLroars through the basement. Louder, like an animal.. The Kids stop again, scared. Chunk turns to Mikey.

Mikey leads the kids toward Sloth's door. The frightened kids stay close together. They move slowly, carefully, toward the door. Meanwhile, Andy grabs Brand's hand.

ANDY
I don't wanna see it, Brand. I don't wanna see anything else but you. Stay with me, okay?

Brand nods. He stays behind with Andy. They stand in

Meanwhile, the Kids are only a few feet from the door. Eyes wide, scared to death. Mikey slowly reaches out. He grabs the doorknob. The Kids hold their breaths. Mikey twists the doorknob ... Sloth's ROARINGGROWLblasts from behind the door. Louder than ever! It sends a shudder through the hallway. The kids jump back.

Brand, who is leaning to kiss Andy, inches from her lips is interrupted by the group of kids falling toward him. The kids fall into Andy and Brand through another door. The door bursts open.

The kids get to their feet. In the chaos, the doubloon has fallen from Mikey's pocket. It rolls on its side, along the floor. Chunk grabs it, seconds before the doubloon . falls into a drain. Chunk pockets the doubloon. We are inside of a large stone room. At one time used.as a kitchen. The room is equipped with a giant freezer, two large stainless steel sinks, a Sparklett's glass water cooler, a stove and a stone fireplace. A"tiny flame still burns in the fireplace. The only object that seems out of place is a large, black metal printing press. The press is ancient, rusty. A small window sits above the press. A photo of the Fratelli's adorns the wall behind the press. The kids exchange a bewildered shrug. Chunk goes straight for the water cooler. Chunk moves·his mouth beneath the tiny faucet. He turns on the faucet and_ lets the water stream into his open mouth. '

An excited Mikey grabs a fireplace poker. He finds a random spot in the center of the floor.

-Guess this is as good a-place as any • to start diggin' ...

Mikey raises the poker high in the air. He brings it down, hard on the concrete floor. Wham! The poker doesn't make a dent! Instead, it sends a reverberating sleek through Mikey's body. His teeth even begin to chatter.

Brand.shakes his head.

Okay, ·Mouth... "That's all I can stands, and I can't stands no more ... "

Chunk's sudden movement causes the Sparklett's container to tilt. It falls off its base and smashes to the floor into a million pieces. The water flows across the floor trickling into the ope·n fireplace. Several seconds pass before the water hits the fireplace bottom. Mikey pauses.

C'mon ... You•re embarassin' me.

Brand grumbles and takes off his shirt. He wraps his hands with the shirt. He begins to remove the firey, hot logs from the fireplace. When all of the logs are removed, only

Chunk is looking around. His eyes light. He's discovered the freezer. He mumbles to himself, smiling.

CHUNK
Hmmm. Wonder if they got Chipwiches?

Chunk grabs the freezer handle. He pulls hard. It's jammed. He pulls again. Still won't budge.

Brand is stomping on the fireplace ground. It creaks, cracks. The bricks crumbling. The kids curiously watch. He gives a hard stomp to the ground. A loud CRACK! Brand's foot shoots through~ up to his knee. Ah opening! The boys help Brand out of the fireplace.

Suddenly, a loud noise rocks the room! Data has turned on the printing press. A freshly printed sheet rolls out of the press. The sheet is filled with perfectly printed counterfeit fifty dollar bills . •

The man is bound and gagged. An FBI badge is pinned to his lapel. A bullethole is through his forehead. The stiff is halfway zipped into a green, plastic bag. The body falls forward.

Its crooked mast and tattered sails are in place. A black,. skull and crossbones flag waves. At half mast. The figurehead of a beautiful woman adorns the ship's bow. Ancient cannons jut from the side of the ship. Half of the ship is buried into the cavern wall. The result of a cave in. Hundreds of years ago. The kids continue to stare at the amazing sight. Speechless.

Mikey pauses. Data has a solution. He reaches into his shirt and pulls a cord. A large, yellow life raft pops out of his backpack. The raft begins to inflate. But it just doesn't stop. It continues to get bigger ... Bigger ... until ... BOOM! It explodes! The sound sends a shudder through the ancient cavern! A small rumbling is heard. Tiny pieces of earth crumble from the cavern

The squid reels back, letting go of Andy! The booming chorus of the Head's song reverberates through the squid's body. It trembles. Quivers. In shock. The monster shoots away from the goonies. It is crazed by the rock n' roll. The squid wildly bounces off the cavernous walls, trying to make the music stop. The squid inadvertantly does a comic dance, rocking to the beat of the music and the kids watch it disappear. Far into the cavern.

The goonies run to the pirate ship. Scared out of their wits. They arrive at the ship's bow. The gigantic ship towers over them. Mikey jumps up. He begins to climb the side of the ship. Placing his foot in the thin cracks of wood. The other kids hurriedly follow. Mikey shouts down to them.

Mikey excitedly stands on a bench. He grabs hold of a loose board. He pulls. Hard. The_ship creaks and shudders. But the kids are too curious to care. Mikey continues to pull. Finally, the board snaps. A glaring shaft of light! Shining through the rectangular hole! Mikey smiles at the others. They are anxious. Excited. Everyone grabs hold of a board!

A magical room. Glistening with all the colors of the rainbow. The room is literally a garden of jewels. There are trees with branches of silver and gold coins, and leaves of emeralds. Rose bushes are made of sparkling rubies. There are flowers of sapphires. Bushes made of pearls. There is- even a half moon, ·suspended in the air, made of diamonds. Scattered throughout the jewel garden, are hundreds-of other items. Drinking goblets. Necklaces. Rings. Crowns. More treasure than the kids (or the audience) has ever seen in one room! Pirate skeletons surround the treas~re. Arms crossed. Armed with swords. Guardians of the treasure.

And sitting in the middle of all of this, at a long wooden table covered with a feast of treasure, is One Eyed Willy. A look of total respect and admiration cover Mikey's face. He nods to One Eyed Willy.

Mikey notices an ancient version of what could be taken for a breathalizer sitting in front of One Eyed Willy. Mikey smiles. Curious, Mikey reachs and lifts One Eyed Willy's eye patch. There is no socket. It is a solid skull. Mikey reverantly replaces the patch.

MIKEY

The others are ecstatic! Joyous! Laughing and giggling wildly! They make a mad scramble for the treasure. Ther begin to load themselves with the'pieces.
