The Goonies Scene 5 Summary

  • Downstairs, the house starts to get a little crowded, first with the arrival of Mouth, who mentions that this is "their last weekend together…last Goonie weekend." So…somebody's going somewhere. We're just not sure who or where yet.
  • Chunk joins the party, but is only admitted entrance after doing the "Truffle Shuffle," which we imagine left a number of lifelong emotional scars.
  • Mikey opens the gate by starting some sort of Rube Goldberg contraption, which tells us right away that these kids are creative, inventive, and probably have far too much time on their hands.
  • Chunk is going on and on about the car chase he witnessed, but apparently he's prone to telling tall tales, and his buddies aren't quite buying it. He's the Boy Who Cried Car Chase.
  • Data zip-lines over from next door, and all the Goonies are together. We get a couple of additional clues about this mysterious "last weekend." It seems some houses are going to be foreclosed on, and all the Goonies' families are being forced out. Hopefully there's some sort of "last minute pirate treasure discovery" stipulation in the contracts.
  • Mrs. Walsh gets home, accompanied by Rosalita (hey—that woman from earlier: we knew she was important), who she's hired to help with packing.
  • Only problem? She doesn't speak any English. If that's not an invitation for some comedy, we don't know what is.
