The Goonies Scene 25 Summary

  • In another area of the basement, it seems as if they've arrived at a dead end…until reliably klutzy Chunk breaks a water cooler, and everyone notices that the water falling through the grate in the fireplace sounds like it's falling a pretty long way.
  • Almost as if there's some sort of passageway down there. (Dum dum dummm.)
  • Stef comes across a newspaper featuring the Fratellis, and the boys reveal that those are the very people who served them some less-than-delicious water upstairs.
  • The seriousness of their predicament is becoming very clear.
  • Chunk starts letting the rest of the gang have it for not trusting him earlier, but his diatribe is cut short the moment he smells ice cream.
  • Chunk opens a nearby freezer and begins collecting pints of his favorite flavors. One of those flavors is not "Dead Guy Surprise," which falls out of the freezer. To be clear…we're talking about an actual dead guy here.
  • Sounds can now be heard overhead, and it's clear that the Fratellis have returned. Gulp. Everyone holds their breath. Even the dead guy.
