    A Goofy Movie:

    The Complete Script
    (MAX absolutely mortified with
    the silly laugh, covers his
    mouth, gasping, and starts to
    back away. Roxanne gives him
    a curious glance, and he turns
    and runs away. Part of the
    way to the stadium exit, he
    runs into some garbage cans and
    trips. Recovering, he runs out
    the exit, screaming - leaving
    Roxanne standing by herself.)
    INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY
    (Now inside the school, Max
    berates himself while walking
    down the hall.)

    MAX:

    I can't believe I did that!
    Arrgh! She finally says "hi" to
    me, and what do I do? I joke!
    "H-yuk"...She probably thinks
    I'm a big spazz.

    MAX:

    approaches PJ, who is digging
    through his locker.

    PJ:

    Where have you been, buddy?

    MAX:

    Hi Peej...did you get the camera?
    (PJ, looking very nervous,
    pulls a camcorder out of his
    locker.)

    PJ:

    (nervously)
    Look, Max...if my Dad catches
    me with this, he'll kill me!
    Are you sure you gotta do this?

    MAX:

    Roxanne doesn't even notice
    me...but after today...
    (A bright light suddenly
    envelops them. Squinting, they
    look toward the source and see
    a cart full of audio/video
    equipment. A 1950s style guitar
    riff plays. Bobby,
    standing beside it, is drinking
    from a fountain through
    a straw.)

    MAX:

    Bobby!
    (MAX and PJ approach the cart
    and join Bobby in the room.)

    MAX:

    Wow! This is all for us?

    BOBBY:

    (finishing his drink)
    Mmmmm...slurpage...

    MAX:

    Oh, this is gonna be great, man!
    (MAX starts to pull the cart
    out of the room, but Bobby
    stops him.)

    BOBBY:

    Dude...need fundage, bro...

    MAX:

    Oh, your fee...yeah, yeah
    ...right here.
    (MAX hands Bobby a brown paper
    bag, which Bobby opens
    anxiously.)

    BOBBY:

    Cheddar! Owww! (howling like a
    wolf) Cheddar whizzie!
    (Bobby shakes the can up and
    holding it in the air,
    squirts a bunch of it into
    his mouth. Max and PJ react
    with nauseous looks. Bobby
    stops spraying and starts
    licking it off of his lips.
    He coughs and thumps his
    chest, coughing some of
    the cheese onto Max and PJ.)

    BOBBY:

    Mmm...Spre'y scumshus.
    [It's pretty scrumptious]
    Bobby, suddenly appearing
    behind Max and PJ who are
    trying to wipe the cheese
    off of their clothes, grabs
    them both around the
    shoulders, forcing Max and
    PJ to smile.

    BOBBY:

    Let's do it, ladies!
    INT. SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
    (Stacey stands behind the
    podium in an auditorium
    packed with rowdy students,
    giving them the standard
    end-of-school retrospective
    speech.)

    STACEY:

    As student body president,
    I just want to say, like
    "yay" to all of us for a
    really neat year.

    NERDY KID:

    (mocking chant)
    Yo Stacey! Talk to me, talk
    to me, talk to me, baby!
    (Stacey shoots the kid a
    disdainful look.)

    STACEY:

    And finally, I hope you can
    all attend my totally
    amazing end-of-school party
    next Saturday to watch
    the Powerline concert live
    on pay-per-view.
    (Everyone cheers loudly.)

    STACEY:

    Thank you, thank you very
    much...and now, without
    further adieu, Principal
    Mazur.
    (The cheering continues as
    Principal Mazur, offstage,
    is fixing his tie and putting
    on his biggest smile.
    He walks into the spotlight,
    which follows him toward
    the podium. Immediately, all
    the cheering ceases,
    leaving only the sound of
    crickets chirping. He
    reaches the podium and begins
    his speech.)

    MAZUR:

    Thank you, Stacey...and
    G'morning, boys and girls.
    You know, every year on the
    last day of school, I
    have several youngsters
    approach me and say, "Principal
    Mazur, what can we do to not
    waste our summer vacation?
    We don't want to waste our
    free time sleeping, or
    visiting friends"...
    (Everyone looks at each other
    and yawns. Chad leans
    forward in his seat to talk
    to Roxanne.)

    CHAD:

    Say, uh, Roxanne...about
    Stacey's party...
    (The camera zip-zooms to Max,
    who is backstage and dressed
    in a Powerline costume. He is
    poking his head out from
    behind the curtain, and he
    sees Chad talking to Roxanne.
    Closing the curtain, he zips
    up his costume and turns toward
    Bobby and PJ.

    MAX:

    Are you...uh...how are you
    doin' down there, Bobby?
    (Bobby, wearing a welder's
    helmet, is using an acetylene
    torch to connect piles of
    cables and equipment. A video
    monitor beside him is
    flashing a variety of images. He
    lifts the helmet and shoots
    Max and PJ a half sarcastic,
    half joking glance.)

    BOBBY

    Don't give me that attitude,
    guys...I'm doing it all for
    you.
    (He puts the helmet back on
    and continues. The scene shifts
    to PJ, who is walking while
    looking into the camcorder's
    viewfinder.)

    PJ

    (nervously)
    This is nuts. I don't know
    why I let you guys talk me
    into this. If my dad finds
    out, he's gonna nuke my entire existence...aahh!
    (PJ isn't watching where he
    is going, and he trips on some
    cables that are lying on the
    stage. He falls, alluding to
    things to come, and briefly
    appears behind Mazur before
    the curtain settles back
    into position. Max grabs him and
    helps him up.)

    MAX:

    I hope this works...
    (On stage, Mazur continues
    his speech. The spotlight suddenly
    goes out, leaving him surprised
    and in the dark.)

    MAZUR

    ...How about "science slumber
    parties"! -- huh?
    (Backstage, Max dons his
    Powerline visor and gives the
    others a "thumbs up". Bobby,
    at the control panel,
    gives a thumbs up. PJ,
    turning on the camcorder,
    gives a nervous thumbs up.
    Bobby presses a button and
    a fast pop-rock beat begins
    playing. The curtain begins
    to rise, revealing a large
    video projection screen. Mazur
    starts to speak, but Bobby
    presses a button backstage-
    dropping him through a trapdoor.)

    MAZUR

    What?...Hey!...I'm not gonna
    just - aaaaaaahhhhhhh!
    (MAX in a Powerline pose,
    appears on the screen with
    an animated atom behind him
    and scan lines zipping up
    and down the screen. The
    audience gasps and looks
    pleasantly surprised; Bobby
    laughs heartily. The video
    display changes colors and
    images dynamically as
    "Stand Out" begins.)
    (The action is still
    occurring on the video monitor
    as special effects footage
    of Max, with PJ running the
    camera.)

    MAX:

    (lip-synching Powerline)
    Some people settle for the
    typical things, living all
    their lives waiting in the
    wings. It ain't a question
    of if, just a matter of
    time, before I move to the
    front of the line. Once
    you're watching every move
    that I make, you're gonna
    believe that I got what it
    takes to stand out, above
    the crowd even if I gotta
    shout out loud. 'Til mine
    is the only face you'll see,
    gonna stand out till you
    notice me.
    (The scene changes to
    reveal the audience's positive
    reactions, including
    Roxanne's. The camera angle
    rotates around PJ and
    through his legs, as he
    continues to film Max. Max
    gets caught in the cables
    lying on the floor and trips.
    He falls, screaming,
    and rips through the screen,
    rolling out onto the
    stage and leaving the monitor
    displaying static. He
    stands up and is motionless
    for a moment, as he looks
    at the crowd in the auditorium.
    The image of the
    crowd is reflected off of
    his visor as he looks
    nervously around the room.
    He looks at PJ and Bobby,
    who are standing offstage;
    they laugh and give him
    the "thumbs-up". Max looks
    back toward the crowd, and
    the reflection on his visor
    pans from the image of
    Bobby and PJ to Roxanne -
    who is shyly smiling at
    the unknown performer.
    Reassured, Max heads straight
    for her. Bobby, offstage,
    decides to provide some
    visual flair by spraying a
    foggy mist onto the stage.)

    BOBBY

    A little smok-age! Owww!
    (howling like a wolf)
    (MAX. strides across the
    stage, moonwalking.)

    MAX:

    (lip-synching Powerline)

    POWERLINE (spoken):

    If I could make you stop
    and take a look at me
    instead of just...

    POWERLINE WITH CHORUS:

    Walkin' by.
    (He lip-synchs the following
    lines directly to Roxanne.
    Her face reflects off Max's visor.)

    MAX:

    (lip-synching Powerline)

    POWERLINE (spoken):

    There's nothing that I
    wouldn't do, if it was
    getting you to notice...

    POWERLINE WITH CHORUS:

    I'm alive.
    (PJ crawls onstage,
    hidden by the smoke, and hooks
    Max onto a cable.)

    MAX:

    (lip-synching Powerline)
    All I need is every chance,
    a second thought, a second
    glance to prove I got
    whatever it takes...
    (spoken): It's a piece of
    cake.
    Bobby and PJ lift Max off
    the stage and he flies around
    the auditorium during the
    following chorus, much to
    everyone's excitement.

    CHAD'S GIRLFRIEND:

    Who's that guy?!
    He grabs a basketball from
    a tall kid and dunks it in
    the basket as he flies by.

    MAX:

    (lip-synching Powerline)
    To stand out, above the
    crowd even if I gotta shout
    out loud. 'Til mine is
    the only face you'll see gonna
    stand out...
    (MAX. flies toward Roxanne,
    who is waiting with an
    outstretched hand. They
    almost touch, but the cable
    he's on stops short, pulling
    him backwards into
    spin as the music slows down
    and stops. He swings
    toward a disgruntled Principal
    Mazur, who stops him
    and takes off his visor.)

    OFFSCREEN KID:

    It's the Goof boy!
    ALL: (gasps)
    (Everyone looks in shock at
    Max, except Roxanne who
    smiles appreciatively. Bobby
    (with PJ in sort of a
    headlock), still offstage,
    realize their fate.)

    BOBBY

    We're bust-ed!

    INT. PHOTO CENTER IN DEPARTMENT

    STORE
    (The scene changes with a
    camera flash to a close up
    of Goofy making a funny face
    and squeezing a rubber
    ducky. The angle changes
    and we see a small, bald
    baby on the verge of tears.
    She is being photographed
    by Goofy, who is attempting
    to get her to smile.)

    GOOFY:

    Coochy-coochy-goo-goo! Come
    on...smile! Smiley-wiley!
    ...B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b...Oh
    come on, Kimmie...give me a
    big -
    (GOOFY squeezes a rubber
    ducky, making the typical
    squeaky noise in an attempt
    to get her to smile. As
    he squeezes it, the squeaker
    pops out of the toy and
    into his mouth - getting
    caught in his throat. Gasping,
    Goofy makes the squeaky noise
    repeatedly. This amuses
    the little girl, and she
    begins laughing. Seeing his
    chance, Goofy steps behind
    the camera and takes the
    picture of the little girl
    - with the red-eye glow
    intact. As he continues,
    Pete enters the scene. Goofy
    makes the squeaky sound,
    which annoys Pete. Goofy
    looks at him and makes an
    inquisitive-sounding squeak.)

    PETE:

    Stop goofin' around!
    *Pete slaps Goofy on the
    back of the head, dislodging
    the squeaker. Finished,
    Goofy picks up the little girl
    and returns her to her
    mother - continually making
    baby noises to amuse the child.)

    GOOFY:

    Okay Kimmie, back to mommy,
    now. B-b-b-b-b-b...
    (baby talk): You're such
    a cute little girlie...you
    come back and see me...

    KIMMIE'S MOM:

    Oh, you have such a way
    with children.
    (GOOFY blushes as the mother
    leaves.)

    PETE:

    (mocking)
    "You have such a way
    with children"...pah!
    (Pete approaches Goofy,
    who is attending to the next
    customer.)

    GOOFY:

    Okay now...who's next
    over he-
    (Pete knocks Goofy out
    of the way.)

    PETE:

    Step aside, Goof. Let a pro
    show you how it's done...
    (Pete bends down and talks
    to the little girl. She kicks
    him in the shin, runs around
    him several times, up his
    back, and jumps on his head.)

    PETE:

    Oh hello, precious...ow!...oof!...
    (to the mother): you lucky woman...
    (Pete follows the little
    girl, who is hiding behind the
    photo stand, and ducks back
    and forth several times
    attempting to catch her.
    Finally, he reaches over the
    stand and grabs her roughly.)

    PETE:

    Come on here, honey...it's
    picture time...she's so cute...

    LITTLE GIRL:

    Peek-a-boo!...oof!
    (The girl continues to
    struggle as Goofy and Pete
    talk.)

    GOOFY:

    Gawrsh, Pete...you sure
    are good with kids...

    PETE:

    Oh yeah...they love me.
    Why, PJ...he's been begging me
    to take him on vacation
    this summer.

    GOOFY:

    Really? Where are you going?

    PETE:

    Camping! Nothing like the
    great outdoors to strengthen
    the bond between a father
    and a son.
    (Pete attaches Velcro pads
    to the table and the girl's
    diaper, then Velcroes her
    to the table. She attempts,
    unsuccessfully, to get up.)
    GOOFY:
    Oh, Max would never go for
    anything like that.
    (GOOFY placates the little
    girl with a stuffed animal.)

    PETE:

    I don't know, Goof. Somethin's
    wrong when a kid won't
    spend time with his parents.
    For all you know he's
    running around with some gang,
    and stealin' stuff, and
    causin' riots...

    GOOFY:

    Oh, Max is a good kid...he'd
    never get mixed up into
    something like that.

    INT. PRINCIPAL MAZUR'S OFFICE

    (With a loud crash reminiscent
    of a jail door slamming,
    the scene shifts to an overhead
    view of Max and Bobby
    waiting in the Principal's
    office. Miss Maples, the
    secretary, sits across the
    room from them, typing and
    humming the Hungarian death
    march. Max is looking
    terrified, and Bobby is
    slouching across the chairs - facing the wall.)

    MAX:

    I'm a failure, a complete
    loser...my one chance to
    impress Roxanne and I blew it...
    After a few moments, Bobby
    mumbles and turns to Max,
    holding a small sculpture made
    of squeeze cheese.

    BOBBY:

    Hmm....Max, look...it's the
    leaning tower of cheese-a.
    (He squishes the entire
    creation into his mouth messily
    and eats it. After a moment
    PJ emerges, looking
    shell-shocked.)

    PJ:

    Oh, man...My Dad is gonna
    smash me like a bug!

    BOBBY:

    (cheerfully/jokingly)
    Hey, PJ! Deten-tion!
    Ha ha ha!

    MAZUR (V.O.):

    Robert Zimmerooski...

    BOBBY:

    (concerned)
    Umm...okay ...I'm coming
    ...(quietly): Max...here
    ...guard
    this with your life, dude...
    (Bobby hands Max the can
    of squeeze cheese and pushes a
    cartload of audio/ video
    equipment into Mazur's office,
    while his signature guitar
    music plays in the background.)

    BOBBY:

    (confidently)
    Hey! Ma-za-ur! What's up, bro?
    (Bobby begins talking to Mazur,
    and shuts the door. Max
    puts his head in his hands
    and sits motionlessly. Roxanne
    and Stacey enter the room,
    with Stacey chattering at a
    fast pace. They approach the
    desk to get some papers.)

    STACEY:

    ...and then the air
    conditioning went on the fritz,
    so I figured with all those
    kids in the house the place would
    be like a sauna; so I'm all
    freaked out, but then I thought,
    like, "use it", so my theme's
    gonna be `Powerline goes
    rainforest'. Too much?...Roxanne,
    are you listening?
    (Roxanne notices Max sitting
    on the chair, and she gazes
    at him. Stacey notices that
    she's lost her attention and
    sees why.)

    STACEY:

    (knowingly)
    Ohhhh....tsk, tsk, tsk.
    (She pushes Roxanne toward
    Max.)

    ROXANNE:

    Stacey, no...I don't wanna -

    STACEY:

    Talk to him!
    (Roxanne walks over toward
    Max, but with his head down, he
    doesn't notice her. She clears
    her throat several times,
    but to no avail.)

    ROXANNE:

    Ahem...Ahem!
    (She turns back to Stacey and
    gives her a `now what?' glance.
    Stacey motions her to continue.)

    STACEY:

    Tap him!
    (Roxanne approaches Max and
    taps him on the shoulder.
    Startled, Max quickly sits
    upright and knocks Roxanne's
    books to the floor. Realizing
    what he's done, he begins
    apologizing as she begins to
    gather them.)

    MAX:

    Gosh, I'm sorry...

    ROXANNE:

    It's okay.
    (He bends down to help her
    and they simultaneously reach
    for the same book and touch
    each others' hands accidentally.
    Max pulls his away, embarrassed.)

    ROXANNE:

    Um...I liked your dance.

    MAX:

    Yeah....yeah?! Uh, yeah, it's
    from Powerline's new video.
    (Both stand up simultaneously.)

    ROXANNE:

    I know, he...he's totally a
    genius.

    MAX:

    Yeah, he's doing a concert
    next week in LA.

    ROXANNE:

    Oh yeah! Stacey is showing
    it at her party.

    MAX:

    Yeah...

    ROXANNE:

    Yeah...

    MAX:

    Uh, Roxanne...I was, uh,
    sorta kinda thinking that
    maybe I'd, um, ask you to
    go with me, that is, to
    the...party...of course,
    if you don't want to, I'd
    completely understand!

    ROXANNE:

    Well, I was sorta, kinda
    thinking that...I'd love to!
    (MAX and Roxanne both start
    to fluster.)

    MAX:

    Yeah?

    ROXANNE:

    Yeah!

    MAX:

    Good!

    ROXANNE:

    Great!

    MAX:

    Terrific!

    ROXANNE:

    Wonderful!

    MAX:

    All right...

    ROXANNE:

    Okay...
    (Stacey approaches to
    extract Roxanne.)

    STACEY:

    Come on Roxanne, we don't
    want to belabor the moment,
    now do we?

    ROXANNE:

    Well, I'd better be going...

    MAX:

    (confidently)
    I'll, uh, call you later.

    ROXANNE:

    Okay...bye.
    (Roxanne backs away slowly,
    shyly and backs into the
    wall beside the office
    door. After leaving, she walks
    down the hall with Stacey.)

    STACEY:

    See? That wasn't so bad
    ....I told you men were easy
    to deal with...
    (Back in the principal's
    office, Max waves shyly at
    Roxanne as she leaves then
    jumps up in the air and
    begins yelling.)

    MAX:

    (gleefully)
    Yes!! She said YES!!! Hoo hoo
    hoo! Everybody mambo!
    (MAX begins dancing around
    the room, out of sheer joy,
    with mambo music playing in
    the background. After
    several moments, he grabs
    Miss Maples and involves
    her in his dance...while
    she is still sitting in her
    chair. Shortly, Mazur and
    Bobby appear at the office
    door. Bobby smiles and
    encourages Max.)

    BOBBY:

    Yeah! Dance with her...
    groove with her...

    MAZUR:

    (angrily)
    Miss Maples!
    (Mazur orders Miss Maples
    to call Goofy, even while she
    is still careening back
    and forth in Max's mambo.)

    MISS MAPLES:

    (cheerfully)
    Yes sirrrrr!

    MAZUR:

    (angrily)
    Get that boy's father on
    the phone!

    MISS MAPLES:

    (cheerfully)
    Right away sirrrr!

    INT. PRINCIPAL MAZUR'S

    INNER OFFICE
    (Mazur stands in his office,
    with his paddle collection
    behind him, looking through
    the slits of light penetrating
    his miniblinds at Max.)

    GOOFY:

    Hello?

    MAZUR:

    Uh yes, Mr. Goof...This is
    Principal Mazur. I'm calling
    in regard to your son, Maximillian.

    GOOFY:

    Max? Oh my gawrsh, is he hurt?

    MAZUR:

    No, Mr. Goof...he's in TROUBLE!

    GOOFY:

    Trouble? What kind of trouble?

    MAZUR:

    (angrily)
    Dressed like a gang member...

    GOOFY:

    gasps in shock and staggers
    backward.

    GOOFY:

    Gang member??

    MAZUR:

    ...your son caused the entire
    student body to break
    into a riotous frenzy!

    GOOFY:

    Riot?? Oh, couldn't be my -

    MAZUR:

    If I were you, Mr. Goof, I'd
    seriously re-evaluate the
    way you're raising your
    child, before he ends up IN THE
    ELECTRIC CHAIR!

    GOOFY:

    The electric chair!?
    (Mazur hangs up and Goofy drops
    his phone. He slumps into
    a nearby chair.)

    GOOFY:

    What am I gonna do?

    INT. PHOTO CENTER IN DEPARTMENT

    STORE
    (GOOFY sits shellshocked in
    the chair for a moment.
    Suddenly, a bright blue light
    illuminates him and pans
    across the room - accompanied
    by an announcement on the
    PA system.)

    ANNOUNCER (V.O.):

    Blue light special on aisle
    three...blue light special
    on aisle three.
    (GOOFY rises slowly, and
    walks toward the rotating blue
    beam of light. It crosses his
    face repeatedly and scans
    across the room. Goofy
    approaches the sale table.
    On the table is an assortment
    of small children's toys that
    look like a boy fishing.
    He bounces the toy's
    spring-loaded head. Suddenly
    Goofy's face brightens as
    he gets an idea.)

    GOOFY:

    Lake Destiny...
    (Now excited, Goofy runs back
    toward the Photo Department
    and tells Pete his plans.)

    PETE:

    Okay, kiddo...now, smile!
    (GOOFY sticks his head in
    front of the camera Pete
    is using.)

    GOOFY:

    Lake Destiny Idaho!

    PETE:

    Lake who-de wha!?

    GOOFY:

    You were right, Pete
    ...nothing like the great
    outdoors to strengthen
    the bond between father
    and son. You said so
    yourself...

    PETE:

    Well, yeah...but....

    GOOFY:

    I'm goin' fishing! I'm
    goin' fishing with my
    boy!
    (Without waiting for
    Pete's response, Goofy
    runs off, carrying the
    toy. Pete shakes his
    head in confusion and
    looks back through the
    lens.)

    PETE:

    Yeah...okay, precious...
    give me a big smi-
    (The little girl he was
    photographing is gone,
    only her diaper remains.
    She runs down the
    aisle in pursuit of Goofy.)

    LITTLE GIRL:

    Ha haha ha! Fishie! Fishie!
    Fishie!

    EXT. FRONT OF SCHOOL

    (Everything is absolutely
    still in a wide shot of the
    school's front doors. Suddenly,
    the school bell rings and the
    doors explode open and crowds
    of students pile out at high speed.
    Among them is Bobby and a
    number of recurring characters;
    the focus is on Max as he walks
    away from the school. A number
    of people approach him, including
    some who had ridiculed him earlier.)

    KID 1:

    Cool concert, lad!

    MAX:

    (incredulous)
    What?

    KID 2:

    You wailed, bud!
    (MAX incredulous, continues
    to take it all in. Chad's
    girlfriend approaches him,
    but Stacey quickly shoves
    her away.)

    CHAD'S GIRLFRIEND:

    Hey, Max...wicked dance...

    STACEY

    Forget it, girl...he's Roxanne's.
    (Suddenly PJ runs up behind
    Max and jumps on his shoulders.
    Max strains against the load
    as PJ compliments him on the
    day's events.)

    PJ:

    Way to go, Max! I just heard
    about you and Roxanne...

    MAX:

    Oof! Peej!
    (MAX dumps him on to the ground.
    PJ begins a chant for him.)

    PJ:

    (increasingly loud)
    See...I told you our plan would
    work...Max!
    ...Max!...Max!...Max!...Max!...
    (Bobby, hanging from a statue,
    continues the cheer.)

    BOBBY:

    Max-i-mum!...Max-i-mu-um!

    CHEERLEADERS:

    Max!...Max!...Max!...

    ALL:

    Max!...Max!...Max!...
    (At this point, music builds
    in volume and segues into the
    middle of "Stand Out" as
    Max leaves the schoolyard.)

    POWERLINE:

    All I need is every chance,
    a second thought, a second
    glance to prove I got whatever
    it takes.
    (MAX runs past a schoolbus,
    slapping hands with people on
    the sidewalk and in the windows.
    He then dons his ballcap and
    Powerline visor.)

    MAX:

    (lip-synching)
    (spoken): It's a piece of cake...

    POWERLINE:

    To stand out, yeah yeah...
    (repeats and digresses)
    ...till mine is the only
    face you'll see, gonna
    stand out so you'll notice me...
    (MAX moonwalks past the
    bus stop ladies seen in
    "After Today", spins
    around the bus stop sign
    and jumps - slapping
    the leaves in a nearby tree.
    En route home, he runs
    through a number of yards.
    Max runs under kids on
    a swingset, then swings
    from their tire. He
    flies over a sunbather and
    bounces off her diving
    board, landing on a Slip
    `n' Slide and grabbing
    a skateboard. He skateboards
    over over a fence, then through a
    construction site, doing
    loops inside a large
    pipe. He exits the pipe
    and lands on a truck
    labeled "Starving House
    Pets Moving and Storage".
    He skates off the truck,
    under the sofa being
    moved, and directly into
    the house's kitchen.
    He zips by a baby, and
    grabs its fork. He
    dismounts the skateboard
    and somersaults across
    the street to his house
    as the music fades and
    finishes. He enters the
    gate to his yard, and
    passes Goofy - who is
    packing the car for a trip.

    EXT. GOOFY'S FRONT YARD

    MAX:

    Going somewhere, Pop?

    GOOFY:

    Sure are, pal-eroonie!

    MAX:

    Cool! Well, have a good
    time, Dad. If you're
    gonna be gone more than
    a month, drop me a line.

    GOOFY:

    But Max, this isn't just
    MY vacation...it's
    a vacation with me and
    my best buddy!

    MAX:

    Oh, Donald Duck?

    GOOFY:

    No, silly! With you!
    The camera does a zip-zoom
    toward Max, centering
    on his shocked face. He
    collapses, falling backwards.
    Fading from black, we see
    an upward-looking view of
    Goofy coming into focus.
    He slaps Max's face lightly
    to rouse him.

    GOOFY:

    Are you okay, Maxie?

    MAX:

    Wha-what did you say?

    GOOFY:

    That's right! A vacation,
    son! We'll spend some real
    quality time together!
    (GOOFY picks him up and hugs
    him.)

    MAX:

    I think I'm gonna be sick.

    GOOFY:

    Hey, got a present for ya!

    MAX:

    No!...Dad!...Stop!...
    What are you-
    (GOOFY grabs Max. After
    a flurry of hands, flying
    clothes, and protests
    from Max, Goofy steps back
    to reveal Max dressed
    in an fishing hat, hip
    waders and an inflatable
    vest. After a beat,
    Goofy's hand appears
    and pulls the string on the
    vest. As the camera
    pulls back quickly, the vest
    inflates rapidly-puffing
    up to full size-leaving
    Max looking like a large
    balloon. Goofy looks at
    him, pleased with the gifts.)

    GOOFY:

    You look just like
    I did at your age.

    MAX:

    (exasperated)
    Please don't say that, Dad.

    GOOFY:

    Wait, I saved the best
    for last.
    (GOOFY produces a dusty
    old rectangular box. He
    blows clouds of dust off
    the surface.)

    GOOFY:

    It's been handed down
    from goof to goof to goof,
    and now...it's yours, son.
    (GOOFY opens the box to
    reveal an old fishing
    rod inside.)

    MAX:

    A stick?

    GOOFY:

    No, silly, a fishin' pole!
    (GOOFY twirls the line
    in the air.)

    MAX:

    Fishing? We're going FISHING!?

    GOOFY:

    Yep, just like my Dad and
    me did...two best
    buddies fishing on Lake
    Destiny...away from it
    all...
    (Goofy walks toward the car.)

    MAX:

    I don't wanna be "away from
    it all", Dad...I
    LIKE ..."it all".

    GOOFY:

    Hey, look, Maxie...we're
    usin' the same map me
    and my Dad used. We'll
    take the same route, make
    the same stops, see the
    same sights...
    (Enchanted, majestic-sounding
    music begins playing as Goofy
    opens an old, dusty map and
    spreads it across the hood of
    the car. Max, still puffed up,
    waddles over. The map has a
    tangle of criss-crossing,
    looping, wild lines drawn on
    it...eventually leading to Lake
    Destiny, Idaho. At the bottom
    is a list of names ending with
    Walter Goofy and Benjamin
    Goofy, which are both crossed
    out, and beneath them is
    scrawled "All Goofs". Max is
    shocked.

    MAX:

    Agh! But that trip would
    take WEEKS, Dad!

    GOOFY:

    Exactly! Gettin' there's half the fun!
    (MAX pushes the map aside.)

    MAX:

    Put the map away, Dad...it's
    not gonna happen...

    GOOFY:

    Careful, son! You'll
    wrinkle my past...and our
    future...
    (mysteriously):
    what the map says, Max,
    we will follow...

    MAX:

    That's very..."mystical"
    and everything, Dad...but,
    uh, seriously.... there's
    this party I have to go to
    and, it's really important -

    GOOFY:

    Aww...there will be plenty
    of time for parties when
    you're older, Maxie...why,
    when I was your age, I'd
    never even been invited to
    a party, and look at me now!
    (GOOFY strikes a proud pose.)

    MAX:

    (sarcastically)
    Great, Dad...
    (GOOFY opens the car door
    in hopes of persuading
    Max to get in.)

    GOOFY:

    Hop in, Maxie.
    (MAX shuts the door.)

    MAX:

    No.
    (GOOFY is uncertain how
    to proceed. He thinks a
    moment, and his face
    brightens with an idea. He
    then frowns sadly and
    proceeds to try to make
    Max feel guilty.)

    GOOFY:

    Oh, all right, then...guess
    I'll just have to go
    -all alone, that's all...
    just sit in the boat-
    all alone...and talk to
    myself - all alone...

    MAX:

    (unmoved)
    I guess so...

    GOOFY:

    Oh, come on! Hop in!

    GOOFY: opens the car door

    again hoping to persuade
    him. Max refuses repeatedly
    and shuts the door each
    time Goofy opens it.

    MAX:

    No, Dad...

    GOOFY:

    Just hop right in there!

    MAX:

    No.

    GOOFY:

    Come on, Maxie...go for it!
    (At this point, Goofy is
    out of ideas, completely
    frustrated. He grabs Max,
    who is still immobile
    in the inflatable vest,
    and shoves them into the
    car. He ties him down with
    the seatbelt, accompanied
    by a barrage of protests
    from Max.)

    GOOFY:

    We're ready for takeoff!
    (GOOFY shuts Max in as
    he struggles with the
    restraints, runs around
    the car and gets in the
    driver's side. He gets
    ready to start the car.)

    GOOFY:

    Set for adventure, Maxie?

    MAX:

    (exasperated)
    Why are you DOING this
    to me, Dad!?

    GOOFY:

    (frightened)
    'Cause I don't want you
    to end up in the electric
    chair!

    MAX:

    Electric chair? What are
    you-

    GOOFY:

    I'm not givin' up on ya,
    son...together we're gonna
    work this out.

    MAX:

    Work this out!? But Dad!

    GOOFY:

    No buts about it, Maxie
    boy...your old pop knows
    best.
    MAX
    But...
    (MAX is speechless. As Goofy
    starts the car to leave, he
    resigns himself to the
    situation. He looks gloomily
    at the fishing pole.)

    EXT. SUBURBAN STREET

    (GOOFY backs out of the
    driveway and runs over
    part of his fence, crushing
    it.)

    GOOFY:

    G'bye house!...g'bye
    mailbox!...g'bye pile of
    broken wood!
    (They head down the road,
    and are only several
    blocks from their house
    when Max remembers his
    date with Roxanne.)

    MAX:

    Good-bye hopes, good-bye
    dreams, good-bye
    Roxanne...Roxanne!

    MAX:

    (agitated)
    Dad, I've got to stop
    somewhere first, I have
    to talk to someone...

    GOOFY:

    Well...
    (MAX grabs the wheel of
    the car, turning it to
    the right. The car careens
    around the turn, leaning sideways.
    Bouncing off of other vehicles
    and severing a fire hydrant,
    the car finally pulls to the side
    of the road. Max gets out and
    heads up the walkway in Roxanne's
    front yard.

    EXT. ROXANNE'S PORCH

    GOOFY:

    Now make it quick, Maxie boy
    ...we've got to put
    some road behind us.
    (MAX mutters to himself,
    frustrated.)

    MAX:

    You get to cancel your
    first date in less than
    an hour...must be some
    kind of lame-o record.
    (MAX arrives at the front
    door and rings the bell.
    After a short pause, a
    large, hulking man appears
    in the door in an undershirt
    and boxer shorts. He
    grunts. Frightened, Max
    takes a step backwards.)

    MAX:

    (nervously)
    H-hi!...Is Roxanne home?
    My name is Max...
    (The large man grunts
    angrily at Max.)

    MAX:

    Does Roxanne live here?
    ...Does she even live on
    this block?...
    (MAX starts to leave when
    Roxanne appears in the
    door beside the man.)

    ROXANNE:

    Wait! It's okay Daddy,
    Max is a friend from
    school. Go on, go on...
    good Daddy...
    (embarrassed):
    Hey, Max...
    (Roxanne looks embarrassed
    and ushers her father
    back into the house.)

    MAX:

    (incoherent)
    He-uh...huh...

    ROXANNE:

    (nervously)
    Do you, uh, want to
    have a seat?
    (MAX and Roxanne walk to
    the other side of the
    porch to talk. Once there,
    Max lifts Roxanne onto
    the banister by her hips.
    Her father, watching
    through the mail slot,
    grunts angrily at them.
    This startles Max, and he
    quickly puts his hands
    behind his back and grins
    innocently. Roxanne
    chides her father.)

    ROXANNE:

    (angrily)
    Daddy!
    (Once he leaves, Max hops
    onto the banister beside
    Roxanne and they continue
    their conversation.)

    ROXANNE:

    I promise he'll be better
    behaved when you pick me
    up for the party.

    MAX:

    Yeah, that's, uh, sorta why
    I came by...

    ROXANNE:

    I'm really looking forward
    to it, Max.

    MAX:

    (dejectedly)
    Yeah...I...was...too...

    ROXANNE:

    Was?

    MAX:

    You see, my Dad's on this
    stupid "father-son"
    kick...

    ROXANNE:

    (sadly)
    Oh...don't worry about it
    Max, it's just a dumb
    party...

    MAX:

    No, it's not! Roxanne,
    I really wanted to go with
    you!

    ROXANNE:

    No, I...Max, I understand...

    MAX:

    But my Dad surprised me...
    I don't even want to go,
    but I have no choice.

    ROXANNE:

    (disappointed)
    I'm sure I can find someone
    else...

    MAX:

    (shocked)
    S-someone else?

    ROXANNE:

    I'll...just...talk to you
    later...
    (Roxanne begins walking toward
    her front door, to go
    inside. She is almost to the
    door, and Max panics.
    He doesn't want Roxanne to go
    to the party with
    someone else, so he blurts
    out a lie.)

    MAX:

    Um...uh...Roxanne...my Dad
    is...uh...my Dad is taking
    me to the Powerline concert
    in LA!...ugh...

    ROXANNE:

    (incredulous)
    Your Dad's taking you clear
    across the country just
    to see a concert?

    MAX:

    (realizing what he's said)
    Um...you see, uh...my Dad
    knew, uh - KNOWS - knows
    Powerline! They used to
    play together...I-in a band!
    Yeah!
    (GOOFY beeps the car horn
    and yells to Max.)

    GOOFY:

    Come on, son! Let's get
    this show on the road!

    MAX:

    (deliberately)
    Just a minute...you party
    ...animal...you.
    (GOOFY grins sheepishly.)

    ROXANNE:

    You're really serious...

    MAX:

    Absolutely...so, uh...you
    aren't still thinking of
    going with someone else,
    are you?

    ROXANNE:

    Well, I guess -

    MAX:

    (interrupting)
    Because I was hoping I
    could, uh, wave to you
    onstage, when we join Powerline
    for the final number.

    ROXANNE:

    This is incredible!

    MAX:

    Well, I wouldn't miss our
    date for anything that
    wasn't incredible, Roxanne.
    (Roxanne kisses Max on the
    cheek. He stumbles backward,
    then starts to walk toward the
    car.)

    ROXANNE:

    Have a great time at the
    concert, Max...
    (Max mumbles something,
    still dazed, and stumbles
    slowly toward the car.
    He is almost there when
    Roxanne shouts from here
    porch.)

    ROXANNE:

    I'll see you on TV!
    (The gravity of his
    situation hits him and he
    quickly sobers up.)

    MAX:

    (to himself)
    I'm in deep sludge.
    (MAX gets in the car
    and hangs his head out the
    window. Goofy starts
    the car and drives away.)

    EXT. HIGHWAY

    (The heavy music of the
    previous scene segues to a
    cheerful, bouncy tune and
    we see Goofy's car zipping
    along a highway among other
    cars. Then the view changes
    to that of a camcorder viewfinder
    jerkily panning around the
    interior of the car and toward
    Max as Goofy begins his vacation
    video.)

    GOOFY:

    Day One! Well, here we are,
    out on the open road;
    retracing the steps of my
    boyhood...and heeeeere's
    Maxie!...A-hyuk!...Say hi,
    Max!
    (GOOFY pans the camera
    toward Max, who is looking
    sadly out the window.
    When prompted, Max looks
    briefly at the camera,
    then quickly turns away.)

    GOOFY:

    Well, how about a wave?
    (MAX puts his hand over
    the lens, but Goofy remains
    undaunted.)

    MAX:

    (irritated)
    Not now, Dad.

    GOOFY:

    What a kidder!....Hmmm...
    (GOOFY looks at Max thoughtfully
    and begins to get frustrated when
    he comes up with an idea. He checks
    his pockets and finds a hastily
    scrawled list of games that he had
    played with his father as a child.
    Some of the items include story
    telling, road bingo, twenty
    questions and simon says. He begins
    to read the list, and excitedly
    asks Max to play when he picks one.)

    GOOFY:

    Fun games I used to play with
    my Dad...road bingo...
    twenty que- oh!...Hey Maxie,
    uh, let's play a game?
    You think of a name, and
    I'll try to guess who it is!
    Uh, man or woman?

    MAX:

    (unenthusiastically)
    Man...

    GOOFY:

    Man? Hmmm...that's a
    toughie...Walt Disney!

    MAX:

    Right...

    GOOFY:

    Ooh, I'm good at this...
    now, uh, I'll think of
    one...hmmm...
    (GOOFY's thought is
    interrupted but loud and
    raucous rock guitar music.
    Surprised, he looks
    at Max, who is busy playing
    "air guitar" with
    his hands and listening
    to the music.)

    GOOFY:

    (shouting over the music)
    Oh! You want to sing a
    song, huh? Me and my
    Dad used to sing this
    one all the time!
    (GOOFY grabs an eight-track
    cassette from his rack,
    puts it in the car's tape
    deck, starts it playing ,
    and sings (poorly) along with it.
    Max looks at Goofy in disbelief.)

    RECORDED MUSIC AND GOOFY

    (song: "High Hopes")
    High hopes, he's got high hopes,
    he's got high apple pie in the
    sky hopes -
    (MAX. having heard enough,
    turns back to the radio and
    continues his air guitar playing-
    interrupting Goofy's song. After
    several moments, Goofy turns the
    tape back on and continues
    singing...angering Max.)

    RECORDED MUSIC AND GOOFY

    ...oops there goes another
    rubber tree -
    (MAX turns his music back on,
    followed by Goofy playing his.
    Their conflict escalates,
    and they switch songs faster
    and faster, both getting
    continually angrier.

    RECORDED MUSIC AND GOOFY

    ...oops there goes ano-...
    oops there goes-
    ...oops...oops...
    (Finally, they both jam their
    buttons simultaneously and the
    stereo mangles the tape, then
    blows up in a puff of smoke.

    MAX:

    (angrily)
    Oh great, Dad...now we don't
    have ANY music!

    GOOFY:

    Oh, Maxie...it's not so bad!
    We'll just have to entertain
    ourselves.
    (MAX sighs and resumes looking
    out the window. Goofy begins
    to get frustrated as they sit
    in silence, with cars passing
    quietly. He looks around for
    something to do, then notices
    the car keys rattling against
    his Disney logo key- chain in
    an interesting rhythm. He looks
    in the side-view mirror and
    sees that the tailpipe has
    joined in - puffing and
    backfiring in time. Some
    rattling pots and pans in their
    luggage contribute, and Goofy
    begins whistling. Max looks at
    him, bored, as they merge onto
    the highway - passing a sign
    labeled "Open Road"- and Goofy
    begins the "Open Road" song.
    Trying to liven him up, Goofy
    playfully pokes at Max, musses
    up his hair, and grabs him in a
    hug-like hold - but he doesn't
    pay attention to where he's
    going, and the car swerves wildly.

    GOOFY:

    Do you need a break from modern livin'? Do you
    long to shed your weary load? If your nerves
    are raw, and your brain is fried, just grab a
    friend and take a ride together upon the open
    road.
    (MAX pries Goofy's arms off his neck, and
    returns to his original position, exasperated.

    MAX:

    All in all, I'd rather have detention. All in
    all, I'd rather eat a toad.

    GOOFY:

    Yuck!
    (GOOFY nearly hits a tractor-trailer, then
    zips across lanes of traffic. He hits the
    guard rail, sending out a shower of sparks
    and setting the car on two wheels. While
    partially airborne, Max's side of the car
    passes over a motorcycle with sidecar.
    They then get back on course as they pass
    rows of smoking factories.

    MAX:

    And the old man drives like such a klutz,
    that I'm about to hurl my guts directly
    upon the open road.

    GOOFY:

    There's nothin' can upset me, cause now
    we're on our way. Our trusty map will
    guide us straight and true.
    (Now passing oil rigs, Goofy begins reading
    the map and steering with his feet. Max
    looks into the clouds and imagines one is
    Roxanne. His vision is interrupted as Goofy
    begins running over construction cones and
    head straight for a construction scaffold.
    Max screams and covers his eyes as they plow
    into the lower rungs of the scaffold and
    knock it over. Goofy doesn't notice anything.
    He puts the map away and continues driving.

    MAX:

    Roxanne please don't forget me; I will return
    someday, though I may be in traction when I
    do.

    GOOFY:

    Me and Max relaxing like the old days.

    MAX:

    This is worse than dragon breath and acne.

    GOOFY:

    In a buddy-buddy kind of mode.

    MAX:

    I'm so mad I think I may explode.

    GOOFY:

    When I see that highway, I could cry.

    MAX:

    Y'know, that's funny - so could I.

    GOOFY: AND MAX

    Just being out on the open road.
    As they pass a pickup truck, Goofy notices
    that it is carrying a man playing a piano.
    Three country singers pop out of the piano
    and sing.

    COUNTRY SINGERS:

    Howdy boys, is this the way to Nashville?

    GOOFY: waves to the singers, but nearly hits

    a tow truck. The driver blows the horn at him.

    TOW TRUCK DRIVER:

    Watch it Mack, or you'll be gettin' towed.

    A prison transport, carrying a prisoner in

    stripes and chains. Goofy looks worried
    and imagines Max in the same outfit. He
    quickly accelerates to pass the transport.

    PRISONER:

    I'm in no hurry to arrive, cause I'll be
    turning sixty-five the next time I see
    the open road.
    (GOOFY and Max approach a small convertible
    with a small driver and his huge wife.)

    MAN:

    Just a week of rest and relaxation.

    WIFE:

    Yeah!

    MAN:

    And the odd romantic episode.

    MAX:

    Very odd!
    Off to the side of the road, we see Mickey
    Mouse and Donald Duck with backpacks and
    luggage. Donald looks angry.

    MICKEY MOUSE

    And it's Californ-i-a or bust.
    (An old lady driving in a brightly painted
    sports car full of cats begins driving
    wildly past Goofy and Max, swerving through
    lanes of traffic.)

    OLD WOMAN:

    Look out you dirt bags, eat my dust...from
    now on, I'm on the open road.

    GOOFY:

    It's me and little Maxie, my pipsqueak pioneer.
    (A "woody" station wagon full of nuns passes.)

    NUNS:

    They're partners forever westward ho - YEE HAW!
    (On the other side, a limousine passes with a
    glitter-gloved hand poking out the moonroof.)

    MAX:

    Could someone call a taxi and get me out of
    here...to Beverly Hills 90210?
    (A variety of vehicles surround them. Some
    include a fire truck covered with firemen,
    a convertible driven by a bride while the
    groom parachutes in, a zoo transport wagon,
    a flower truck, a balloon truck, a gangster
    car with a person tied up in the trunk, a
    hearse with a singing corpse coming out of
    the coffin in the back.)

    ALL:

    Everyday, another new adventure, every mile,
    another new zip code...and the cares we
    had...

    CORPSE:

    Are gone for good.

    MAX:

    And I'd go with them if I could.
    (The other cars are joined by a motorcycle,
    a tractor trailer and others. Many of the
    riders are now dancing on the roofs of their
    vehicles, including the corpse, the nuns,
    the firemen, and several wingwalkers on a
    biplane that flies by.)

    ALL:

    I've got no strings on me, I'm feeling fancy
    free, how wonderful to be...on the open road.
    (GOOFY's car, now alone, zips under a bridge
    and knocks off some of its luggage as they
    disappear into the sunset. The scene changes
    to the next day. They are still driving on a
    rural interstate. Goofy is again reading the
    map while driving, and he slowly edges into
    the oncoming lane. Max, not paying attention,
    suddenly realizes what is happening when he
    hears a horn blaring. At first he is too
    petrified to speak or move, but at the last
    minute he screams and grabs the wheel, swerving
    the car into its own lane - and barely avoiding
    a collision with a tractor-trailer.)

    GOOFY:

    ...a break from modern livin'...doo doo dum
    dum....grab a friend...

    MAX:

    AAHH!!...Dad! You're gonna get us KILLED!!
    (gasp) (pant)...Why don't you just give me
    the map?

    GOOFY:

    Oh, no thanks, son...navigatin's a big
    responsibility!
    (MAX gives him a dirty look.)

    GOOFY:

    Besides, you wouldn't want to spoil the
    big surprise! I'm taking you someplace
    pretty special!

    EXT. LESTER'S POSSUM PARK PARKING LOT

    (Twangy country music plays as Goofy pulls
    into the parking lot of Lester's Possum Park,
    a run-down tourist trap. The entrance is
    shaped like a huge possum head with an open
    mouth and big teeth. A mother is dragging
    a terrified little girl into it. Max is
    mortified at the sight of it.

    GOOFY:

    Gawrsh, it's even better than I
    remembered...

    LITTLE GIRL:

    No, Mommy! I don't wanna go! Wahhhhhh!

    MAX:

    Yeah, fun...tell you what, I'm just gonna
    wait right here in the car.

    GOOFY:

    A-hyuk! Ya party pooper! Come on! This is
    gonna be fun!
    (GOOFY grabs Max and drags him out of the
    car.)

    INT. LESTER'S POSSUM PARK THEATER

    (An old man in front of the worn stage curtain
    introduces the show to the audience - who are
    sitting on a variety of broken benches and
    other objects.)

    EMCEE:

    (in an old voice)
    Well howdy-there, folks...Lester's is proud to
    present the Possum Posse Jamboree...here it is.
    (The audience applauds enthusiastically. Goofy
    dashes in with Max moping behind him.)

    GOOFY:

    Just in time...
    The curtain opens to reveal a cheaply designed
    and painted set and an extraordinarily
    unimpressive mechanical "Lester", which performs
    the musical number.

    LESTER:

    Howdy, folks! Who's your favorite po-ssum?

    AUDIENCE:

    Lester! Lester! Lester!
    (GOOFY runs back to Max, who was lagging behind,
    and grabs him.)

    GOOFY:

    Got us a seat right up front!
    The Lester character introduces the others, each
    of which pops out of their own hole. The Mordicai
    character fizzles and sparks before working
    correctly.

    LESTER:

    Let me introduce you to the posse: Here's Beauford,
    Beulah and Mordicai!

    MORDICAI:

    Hey, Lester...ready for yodelin'?

    LESTER:

    Sure am, Beauford!

    Country music begins playing and the mechanical

    "posse" begins bouncing up and down and
    "playing" their instruments.

    LESTER:

    Now gather `round, my possum pals...join the
    jamboree. Come hoot `n' howl `n' holler from
    the hearth...

    MAX:

    This is pathetic!

    LESTER

    ...And every chicken, pig and goat'll help by
    yelpin' out a yodel here at Lester's Possum
    Park.

    ALL:

    (yodeling)
    (MAX looks down the bench he's on and sees the
    little girl that was dragged in earlier. She
    smiles a big, toothless smile at him and he grins
    sheepishly back.)

    GOOFY:

    Yodelay-hee...yodel-odel-ode-lay...

    LESTER:

    Lester's Possum Park.
    (The yodeling continues, and the little girls
    laughs more and gives Max still bigger toothless
    smiles. Max finds all this very unnerving. He
    rolls his eyes at Goofy and resigns himself to
    pouting.)

    LESTER:

    Don't you wanna be, a hangin' from a tree, we're
    mighty glad to see you and the parkin's always
    free - here at Lester's po-po-po...
    (The machine gets stuck and the emcee whacks it
    with his fist, making it finish the show. Max
    puts his head in his hands in resignation.)

    EXT. OUTSIDE POSSUM THEATER

    (As soon as the show ends, the whole crowd
    explodes out of the theater. Trailing them is
    Goofy, fumbling with his camcorder. He gets it
    working and points it at the door, ready to film
    Max. He turns around and sees the souvenir stand.
    He decides to get something for him. Max
    approaches slowly.

    GOOFY:

    Hey! That's the ticket!...I'll be right back, my
    little possum pal...
    (GOOFY walks away, toward the stand. Max is left
    alone to mope when a big costume-character
    approaches.)

    MAX:

    (sigh) My life's a living-

    LESTER:

    Hello, little buddy!...Who's your favorite possum?
    (MAX doesn't want to be bothered, and is not happy
    to see him. He begins to walk away when the
    character becomes more insistent.)

    MAX:

    (angrily)
    Don't TOUCH me.

    LESTER:

    Awwww....why such a long face?...you're so sad...
    boo-hoo...I know! You need a big hug from Lester!
    (MAX knows what he's going to do, and starts to
    warn him - but it's too late. Lester grabs him,
    picks him off the ground, and squeezes him
    tightly. This infuriates Max.)

    MAX:

    Don't even think about - (grunt)...unh...ugh...

    LESTER:

    See?...now you feel all good inside!
    (MAX slaps the character in the face, and its head
    spins around and faces the wrong way. Disoriented,
    he stumbles off into the background, where a group
    of little kids tackles him to the ground and drags
    him away in a swarm.)

    MAX:

    Beat it, doofus!
    (MAX watches contentedly, smiling to himself, as
    the kids drag Lester off. He turns around to see
    Goofy coming toward him with a hat shaped like a
    road-killed possum. Max protests, but Goofy puts
    the hat on him anyway. After this, Goofy spies the
    photograph stand - which is offering guests
    pictures posing beside live possums. The little
    girl seen earlier is having hers taken, and crying
    loudly.

    MAX:

    Oh no, no Dad, not that! Please!

    GOOFY:

    Here you go, sport!...What say we get our picture
    taken?

    MAX:

    You have GOT to be kidding...

    GOOFY:

    Oh, all right...but you're missing out!
    (GOOFY walks toward the stand to have his picture
    taken. Max begins to turn away when he hears loud
    laughter. He looks back in shock.)

    MAX:

    Ugh. (sigh)...Huh?
    (GOOFY is hanging upside-down with the possums to
    have his picture taken, much to the amusement of
    the crowd. Much to Max's chagrin, Goofy yells to
    him.)

    GOOFY:

    Hi-ya, son!
    (An obnoxious kid standing near Max points at and
    mocks Goofy.)

    OBNOXIOUS KID:

    Hey everyone, check out the dork!
    (The photographer prepares to take the picture
    while Goofy continues to hang.)

    PHOTOGRAPHER:

    Say "sassafrass"!

    GOOFY:

    Sass-ee-frass!
    (GOOFY and the possums pose and smile. The photographer
    takes the picture, but just after the flash fades, the
    branch they were hanging on falls-catapulting one of
    the possums through the air. Goofy lands on his head
    while the possum smacks into Max's face. After looking
    directly at Max for a moment, the possum decides to
    hide-in Max's shirt. Max starts jumping around wildly,
    trying to get rid of the possum. The band takes this as
    their cue to play dance music, and begins to do so.
    Goofy also thinks Max is dancing, and rushes to join
    him.

    MAX:

    Aahh!...Unh!...Get out!...oof!...Get it out!

    GOOFY:

    That's the spirit, Maxie!
    (MAX resolves the situation by pulling his pants down
    and extricating the possum. Just as he pulls his pants
    up again, Goofy grabs him by the arm and begins
    spinning and dancing him around in a comical
    country-style dance.)
    (Max sees is a flurry of laughing faces.)

    MAX:

    Dad!...No!...Dad!...DAD!...This is embarrassing!
    (The music ends, and Goofy props Max up on his knee as
    a finale. The crowd applauds loudly, still laughing.
    Max glares furiously at all of them.)

    GOOFY:

    Ta-da! A-hyuk!
    (The obnoxious kid pops out of the crowd to make fun
    of them.)

    OBNOXIOUS KID:

    It's dork and dork junior! Ha ha ha!
    (The crowd continues to laugh loudly. Max walks away
    from Goofy, looks angrily at the people, and throws
    the possum hat down on the ground in disgust. He
    shoves his way out of the crowd, knocking a laughing
    kid to the ground in the process. He stomps out of
    the park and returns to their car.)

    EXT. OUTSIDE LESTER'S POSSUM PARK

    (MAX attempts to open the car's door, but it is locked.
    He hits the window in frustration. Rain begins to fall
    as he walks out of the parking lot. Goofy emerges from
    the park entrance and sees Max leaving. Standing along
    the roadside and trying to hitchhike a ride, a car
    passes and soaks Max when it hits a puddle. He shakes
    the water off angrily. Goofy runs toward him.)

    MAX:

    Aargh!

    GOOFY:

    Max! Hey, what the heck're you tryin' to do?
    (GOOFY puts his hand on Max's shoulder, but Max
    jerks away.)

    MAX:

    (angrily)
    Trying to get away from you!

    GOOFY:

    (surprised)
    Me? W-what did I do?

    MAX:

    Forget it.
    (MAX walks back toward the car, and Goofy follows
    him.)

    GOOFY:

    I thought we was havin' fun!...What's the matter?

    MAX:

    (angrily)
    Nothing. Let's just go!...Come on!
    (GOOFY walks up and unlocks the car door for Max,
    then heads around to the driver's side. Max gets
    in and shuts the door; Goofy joins him after a
    moment. Sadly, he hands Max the possum hat.)

    GOOFY:

    Oh, you dropped your hat...
    (The sight of the hat pushes Max over the edge. He
    screams; and in a fit of rage, he tears at the hat,
    and throws it against the window and windshield.)

    MAX:

    (furiously)
    Aahh! This is the STUPIDEST vacation!...You DRAG me
    from home, you jam me in this DUMB car, then drive
    a MILLION miles away, to see some stupid RAT show!
    ...Call me when the trip's over.
    (MAX rolls down the window and throws out the possum
    hat that Goofy had bought him. Goofy hangs his head,
    crushed. He starts the car and backs out-accidentally
    running over the hat. He looks back briefly, then
    pulls out into the stormy night. As they drive away,
    the camera pans down to show a close up of the
    battered hat, accompanied by mournful music.

    EXT. PINE FOREST

    (The scene opens with an overhead view of Goofy
    pitching a tent in a makeshift campsite. The camera
    pans left to show Max sitting on a rock at the edge
    of a creek, absent-mindedly stirring the water with
    a stick and watching some fish. He swirls the water
    and, in his imagination, Roxanne's face appears in
    the ripples. He smiles halfheartedly. Suddenly,
    Goofy approaches in the water and his feet destroy
    the illusion. Max looks up at him.

    GOOFY:

    (carefully)
    Hey, Max...you wanna get in some fishin' practice?
    Just a couple a days `til we get to Lake Destiny...
    (MAX gets up and begins to walk away - leaving a line
    in the dirt as he drags his stick.)

    MAX:

    Maybe later...
    (GOOFY turns away, depressed, and leaves the
    creekside. Max throws his stick into the water.)

    EXT. GOOFY'S CAMPSITE

    (GOOFY is putting some materials in the tent, and
    his head is inside when the ground begins to rumble
    and shake. Suddenly, the dark shadow of a large
    machine passes over him. The vehicle straddles Goofy
    and the tent. Several large, clamping feet jam into
    the ground viciously around the tent. A large
    spinning blade on a long arm fells rows of trees.
    A satellite dish pops out of the machine's roof,
    scanning the sky. A large platform flips down from
    its side, revealing a patio table and chair set. A
    spa and miniature basketball court pop out. A
    swimming pool, complete with water, and a bowling
    lane with balls also emerge before the noise ceases.
    A wide shot reveals that the contraption is a huge
    RV. Max comes out of the woods to see what is going
    on and is awed by the sight.)

    MAX:

    Whoa! Now THAT's camping!
    (GOOFY pulls his head out of the tent - still not
    noticing the RV that is now situated over him.)

    GOOFY:

    Did you say something, Max?
    (Just as he finishes his phrase, the big metal door
    wings down and lands on his head with a resounding
    clang. A thick mist billows out, surrounding a
    shadowy but familiar figure.)

    GOOFY:

    Ow!...Pete?

    PETE:

    (surprised)
    Goofy? Oh, well what a serendipity-doo-dah!...Who'd
    a thunk it, huh?
    (MAX brightens up with the prospect of seeing his
    best friend.)

    MAX:

    Is PJ here?

    PETE:

    Oh yeah, I'm sure he's loafin' around here
    somewhere...

    INT. PETE'S RV

    ("Stand Out" is playing loudly inside the RV while
    PJ is cleaning. He is singing and dancing around
    the room as he buffs the floor and dusts. Max
    pokes his head in the RV door, and after a bit of
    surprise initially, he smiles at PJ's silly routine.)

    MAX:

    (to himself)
    What a goob.
    (MAX enters the RV and approaches the mammoth stereo,
    straining against the volume of the sound. He shuts
    the music off, but PJ doesn't notice...and
    continues his song for a bit before he notices Max.)

    PJ:

    (singing)
    ...even if you gotta shout out loud, no matter what the look it's Max I
    - Max!

    MAX:

    He-he-hey!
    (PJ and Max perform a long and involved handshake
    while saying hello.)

    PJ:

    Wow! Small wilderness, dude!...Didn't expect to run
    into you!

    MAX:

    (joking)
    Apparently not!

    PJ:

    (joking)
    You're just jealous, man...cause you ain't got the
    moves!
    (MAX turns around and admires the entertainment center
    and fish tank. He scares the octopus inside the tank,
    and it swims away in a cloud of ink.)

    MAX:

    Yeah, you can keep "the moves"...but I wouldn't mind
    having this RV!...Whoa!

    PJ:

    Aw, come on. You're the star!

    MAX:

    (surprised)
    W-what?

    PJ:

    Going to the Powerline concert? Oh, it's
    unbelievable, man.

    MAX:

    Who told you about that?
    (PJ punches Max lightly on the arm.)

    PJ:

    Hey, come on, everybody in town knows about it,
    Max...you are gonna be famous, buddy...
    (joking): especially with Roxaaaanne...
    (MAX walks away dejectedly, and leans on the door
    frame of the RV.)

    MAX:

    There's, uh, only one person who doesn't know about
    it yet, Peej...

    PJ:

    Who?

    MAX:

    My Dad.

    EXT. BOWLING LANE ON ROOF OF RV

    (GOOFY watches as Pete bowls on his rooftop lane as
    they talk.)

    PETE:

    So tell me, Goof...(sigh)...is that kid of yours
    still givin' you guff?

    GOOFY:

    Oh, I don't know what's wrong...Just seems like
    everything I try only drives Max further away...
    maybe I oughta just back off...I don't know.

    PETE:

    Wrong, Goof...look - if you keep `em under your
    thumb, they'll never end up in the gutter!
    (Pete rolls his ball down the lane as he finishes
    the phrase. The ball strikes the pins and knocks
    them all down - except one. Pete looks surprised.)

    GOOFY:

    Too bad, Pete...almost...
    (Pete looks angrily at Goofy, and decides to prove
    his point. He bellows at PJ.)

    PETE:

    Almost? Ha! Watch this....PJ!!!
    (PJ rushes to Pete, and stands at attention - as if
    in the military.)

    PJ:

    (frantically)
    Yes, sir! Coming, sir! Yes sir!
    (Pete points down the lane at the remaining pin. PJ
    knows what he's supposed to do. He runs down and
    kicks the pin over. He looks back at Pete, pleased
    with himself. Pete immediately begins to celebrate
    his "victory" by dancing around and chanting.)

    PETE:

    Woo-hoo! Strike-o-la! Hee-hee ha-ha! Thank you,
    thank you! Yes! And the crowd goes wild!
    (GOOFY and Max stand speechless in amazement at the
    spectacle. As PJ rushes back toward Pete, Pete fakes
    a high-five with him and laughs cruelly. PJ looks
    dejected.)

    PETE:

    High-five, son!...Psyche! Ha ha ha! Say, Goof...why
    don't you two stay for dinner?
    (PJ's face brightens and Max smiles.)

    MAX:

    Cool!

    GOOFY:

    Oh, no thanks, Pete...uh, Max and I have some fish
    to catch!
    (GOOFY puts his hand on Max's shoulder and musses
    his hair as he says this. Max gets angry and flings
    Goofy's hands aside.)

    MAX:

    (angrily)
    Aw, Dad! We can do it tomorrow...so, uh, what are
    we havin'?

    GOOFY:

    (surprised)
    But Max! I thought-
    (Pete elbows Goofy and quietly gives him "advice".)

    PETE:

    (quietly)
    Ahem! Under your thumb, Goof...
    (GOOFY thinks for a moment and his face hardens. He
    sets his jaw and confronts Max.)

    GOOFY:

    (sternly)
    Maximillian!

    MAX:

    (surprised and annoyed)
    What?

    GOOFY:

    (sternly)
    Get your gear, little man! We're going fishin'!
    (MAX frowns and sets his jaw, challenging Goofy.
    Goofy responds with authority.)

    GOOFY:

    (loudly)
    And I mean NOW!
    (MAX turns away and leaves, defeated.)

    MAX:

    (to himself)
    Argh!
    (GOOFY looks triumphantly at Pete, and they wink
    and exchange thumbs-ups. Goofy strides off.)

    EXT. WOODLAND LAKE

    (The water of a quiet stream is disturbed when
    Goofy pushes an unwilling Max out into the stream
    -both of them in waders.)

    MAX:

    Dad, I don't even know how to fish!

    GOOFY:

    Oh, come on! That never stopped me!...Let me show
    you a little family secret - handed down through
    about twelve or thirteen Goof generations
    ...The Perfect Cast.

    MAX:

    (sarcastically)
    The Perfect what?

    GOOFY:

    The Perfect Cast! My Dad taught it to me when I
    was about your age...okay, now...watch carefully!
    (MAX watches, unimpressed, as Goofy shakes his
    body around to loosen up and demonstrates the
    cast.)

    GOOFY:

    You gotta be loooooose, relaaaaxed...you put your
    feet apart, then...ten o'clock, two o'clock, quarter
    to three, touchate, twist, over, pot-o-dew, I'm a
    little tea pot, and the wind up!...
    (GOOFY swings the pole backward to wind up for the
    cast, and he inadvertently hooks a steak on Pete's
    nearby barbecue grill. He makes the cast and
    snatches it away. Pete, who was looking the other
    way, looks back to his steak and is surprised to
    find it gone.)

    GOOFY:

    ...AND LET `ER FLY!
    (GOOFY swings the pole, and sends the steak flying.
    He looks proudly at Max, who is still frowning
    imperiously.)

    GOOFY:

    The Perfect Cast...
    (The steak overshoots the water and lands on the
    opposite side. After a moment, a shadow covers it,
    followed by an approaching pair of large feet.
    The camera pans upward to show Bigfoot eating a
    tree branch. He smells the steak, looks down and
    spies it. Goofy doesn't realize what is going
    on, and he continues his demonstration.)

    GOOFY:

    ...and now, we reel `er in!
    (Bigfoot looks at the branch, the steak and back
    again. He decides the steak looks better, and
    throws the stick away. He prepares to eat the
    steak when a tug from the line sends it hopping
    a bit. After recoiling in fear, he gets angry
    and attempts to catch the treat - which is now
    speeding away as Goofy reels in his line. Bigfoot,
    roaring, makes several unsuccessful attempts
    to catch the steak and is eventually dragged
    underwater. Goofy is still fighting the line,
    thinking he's caught a fish.)

    GOOFY:

    Whoa! Quick, get the camera!
    (MAX retrieves the camera and hands it to Goofy,
    who begins filming-thinking he's going to film a
    large fish he's caught.)

    GOOFY:

    Must be over three pounds! I don't want to miss
    this!
    (GOOFY pans the camcorder upwards and sees Bigfoot
    through the viewfinder, who is holding a fish in
    his mouth. Goofy looks at him in amazement. Max,
    however, realizes the trouble they're in.)

    GOOFY:

    (incredulously)
    Look, Max!

    MAX:

    (screaming)
    Uh...da-da-Dad!? IT'S BIGFOOOOOT!

    GOOFY:

    Could you back up a bit Mr. Foot? You're out of
    focus.
    (Bigfoot roars angrily, and Goofy and Max flee,
    and Goofy swings the pole in the process. The
    steak on the end of the line is yanked out of
    Bigfoot's mouth and flies through the air. It
    hits Pete in the face, and he pulls it off
    angrily.)

    PETE:

    What's the idea - BIGFOOT!
    (He looks in their direction and sees Bigfoot
    chasing them toward him. Pete grabs the grill
    and runs back toward the RV in fear. He tosses
    the grill inside and slams the door behind him.
    All the RVs attachments and appendages are
    jerked inside quickly and it zooms away, leaving
    behind Goofy and Max's tent, and a few puddles
    of water from the pool. Goofy is still taping
    Bigfoot, watching him through the viewfinder as
    he runs. Tripping over the tent, he drops the
    camera. It continues to film them as they attempt
    to get into the car.)

    GOOFY:

    Behold, the legendary Bigfoot...fabled but
    seldom-aaahhhhhhhh!
    Ow...ow!...oof!...ow!

    MAX:

    Dad! Quick! He's coming!
    (The car is locked, so they both get into the car
    through the sunroof. Goofy frantically tries to
    close it behind them, and succeeds just before
    Bigfoot reaches them. Frustrated, Bigfoot jumps
    onto the car's roof and rocks it back and forth
    a few times. He sees their camping equipment and
    decides to investigate, leaving them alone. Max
    and Goofy watch from the car, laying low.

    MAX:

    I can't believe it! Bigfoot!

    GOOFY:

    And I got the only video!

    MAX:

    We're gonna be famous!
    (As Max finishes his statement, Bigfoot finds the
    camera and gleefully pulls the videocassette apart.

    MAX:

    (disgusted)
    Let's just get outta here.
    (GOOFY checks his pockets for the car keys. Coming
    up empty handed, they look at Bigfoot - who is
    holding the keys, smiling. He tosses them away
    into the forest. Goofy gets discouraged and Max
    gets angrier still. Bigfoot continues to dig through
    their baggage, wearing a pair of Max's underwear on
    his head. Some time later, Max and Goofy are still
    in the car - waiting.)
    MAX:
    Is he gone yet?
    (Suddenly, two sock-wearing hands appear in front
    of the windshield. Bigfoot performs a primitive
    puppet show, then laughs riotously at the
    performance.)

    BIGFOOT:

    Me-me-me-me...grrrrr...grumble...me-me-me...
    ha ha ha ha!
    (GOOFY responds to Max's question.)

    GOOFY:

    Nope...still here...
    (Bigfoot runs back to the baggage, sending a
    shower of clothes and other items across the
    car's hood while Goofy and Max talk. A
    grumbling noise is heard.)

    GOOFY:

    Gee, Max...is that Bigfoot or your stomach?

    MAX:

    Man, I'm starving!
    (A can of soup lands on their hood and lands
    on end right in front of them.)

    GOOFY:

    A-hyuk! Alphabet soup, comin' up!
    (GOOFY rolls down the window to reach the
    soup. In the process he makes a small noise,
    which Bigfoot hears. Looking up, alarmed,
    Bigfoot is crushing a can of whipped cream
    in his mouth. When he sees that Goofy and
    Max are vulnerable, he begins running
    toward them, roaring. Terrified, they
    try to get their can of soup inside even
    faster.)

    MAX:

    Dad!...DAD!...stop playing around, he's coming!
    (Just before he reaches them, Goofy manages
    to roll the window up, and Bigfoot bounces
    off the car - landing on his back. As he sits
    up, a headphone radio that had been sent flying
    lands on his head. Disco music begins playing,
    and Bigfoot reacts with fear. After a few
    moments, he begins to enjoy the music, laughing
    and moving with the beat.)

    INT. GOOFY'S CAR

    (The cigarette lighter in Goofy's apartment
    pops, and he removes it. He balances the can
    of soup on top of the lighter.)

    GOOFY:

    Well...it's nice to know this thing's good
    for somethin'!
    (Waiting for the soup to finish, Goofy and
    Max sit, looking away from one another
    without speaking. Suddenly, Bigfoot appears
    in the window behind them in the distance.
    He dances to "Stayin' Alive" behind their
    heads, but they don't notice him. After
    he's gone, silence returns. Max and Goofy
    look at one another simultaneously, the
    they both look away, embarrassed. More
    uncomfortable silent moments pass when
    Goofy begins chuckling without warning.)

    GOOFY:

    Hmm-hmm-hmm...ha-ha-ha-ha!
    MAX:
    What's so funny?
    (GOOFY points to the can of soup warming
    on the dashboard.)

    GOOFY:

    Hi Dad Soup!

    MAX:

    (curious)
    Huh?

    GOOFY:

    Oh, don't tell me you don't remember Hi
    Dad Soup?
    (MAX looks at him with a blank look.)

    GOOFY:

    Oh, come on! Sure you do! You used to spell
    things out using the letters, like uh, "Hi
    Dad" or "Maxie" or -

    MAX:

    (jokingly)
    "Ambidextrous"?

    GOOFY:

    Yeah, that's - huh? Naw...little words
    like, uh...

    MAX:

    "Hasta la vista"?

    GOOFY:

    Like "Bye-bye!"

    MAX:

    ...or "I pledge allegiance"...

    GOOFY:

    ...or "I love you-"
    (GOOFY stops himself short and looks surprised
    at what he's said. A soft, sad oboe piece
    begins. Max looks equally sad, and they both
    turn away from one another. Max, trying to
    fill the silence inquires about their meal.)

    MAX:

    Uhhh...is it *s-soup* yet?

    GOOFY:

    Oh, almost forgot...
    (GOOFY picks up the can and opens it by
    puncturing the lid with his big front teeth.)

    MAX:

    Whoa! Where'd you learn to do that?
    (MAX picks up a Styrofoam cup and Goofy fills
    it with soup.)

    GOOFY:

    Your granddad taught me that, when we went
    to Yosemite...
    MAX:
    You two did a lot together, huh?

    GOOFY:

    (sadly)
    Yup...
    (MAX looks sadly into his soup. Both of them
    begin at speak at once, but neither hears the
    other and they both cut themselves off.)

    MAX:/GOOFY

    (simultaneously)
    Dad.../Max...

    GOOFY:

    Umm...uhh....how's the soup?
    (MAX drinks some of the soup and answers him.
    He wipes his mouth, but some of the soup
    remains on his face.)

    MAX:

    Not bad...I mean, uh...(ahem)
    (GOOFY sees the soup and smiles.)

    MAX:

    What?

    GOOFY:

    (shaking his head)
    Nothin'.
    (The silence is interrupted by grunts from
    Bigfoot as the car lurches back and forth.
    Bigfoot climbs onto the roof and lays down
    to sleep.)

    GOOFY:

    Well, we might as well get some shuteye...
    I don't think we're goin' anywhere
    tonight...
    (GOOFY lays down on the seat and curls up
    to sleep. Max wipes the soup off his mouth
    and looks down into the cup inquisitively,
    swirling the soup around. After a few
    moments, Goofy is roused by a tap to his
    shoulder, and Max hands him the cup of soup.
    Goofy looks down into the cup, in which the
    letters now spell "Hi Dad". Deeply moved,
    he looks back at Max, who is lying down,
    nearly asleep.)

    GOOFY:

    (whispering)
    Hi Maxie...
    (After a brief establishing shot of the
    exterior of the car with Bigfoot on top
    to indicate the passage of time, Goofy is
    seen sitting upright in the front seat of
    the car-snoring loudly. Bigfoot is also
    snoring loudly on the roof. Max, however
    is staring into space with bloodshot eyes,
    unable to sleep. He sits up in the seat
    and fumbles through the bag beside him.
    Pulling out a postcard from Lester's
    Possum Park, he finds a pencil and decides
    to write to Roxanne.)

    MAX:

    (voice over of writing)
    Dear Roxanne...couldn't sleep -
    (His thought is interrupted by a
    particularly loud snore by Goofy and
    Bigfoot together.

    MAX:

    (voice over of writing)
    So I thought I'd drop you a line. Dad and
    I are having a great time! We're only days
    away from LA, and I can hardly wait for
    the...big...concert...ugh...
    (He begins to rethink his letter, when Goofy
    yawns and talks in his sleep.)

    GOOFY:

    (yawn)...more Hi Dad Soup, please...
    (MAX smiles, touched...and decides to do
    the right thing.)

    MAX:

    (voice over of writing)
    (sigh) Dear Roxanne, sorry I lied...I'm not
    really going to the Powerline concert. You
    may never want to see me again...
    (Realizing what he's saying, Max stops.)

    MAX:

    Oh, man! I'm dead no matter what I do!
    (Frustrated, he sits back in the seat and
    kicks the dashboard. The glove compartment
    pops open and Goofy's map springs out into
    Max's lap. He looks at Goofy to be sure he's
    still asleep, then begins tracing the path
    on the map with his finger. He notices that
    their course meets a junction that leads to
    Los Angeles. A pencil rolls out onto the
    map, stopping in front of him. Max picks
    up the pencil and debates what to do. He
    nervously begins erasing the part of the
    line that leads to Lake Destiny, Idaho...
    watching Goofy to see if he's waking up.
    He begins drawing a new course on the map
    when the pencil breaks. The soft sound seems
    deafening to Max in the silence. Goofy
    begins to stir. Frantic, Max grabs the
    broken point and continues to draw. Goofy
    begins to wake up as Max quickly completes
    the line and returns the map to the glove
    compartment. He sits back in his seat
    innocently as Goofy rouses and looks at
    Max sleepily.)

    GOOFY:

    (sleepily)
    How many cups of sugar does it take to
    get to the moon?

    MAX:

    (nervously)
    Uhh...three and a half?
    (Having not actually been awake, Goofy flops
    back into the seat and begins snoring again.
    Max sinks into his seat, relieved. He looks
    at the postcard he had written and tears it
    up. Holding the pieces out the window, he
    lets the wind carry them away. From a
    distance, we see the pieces flying; one
    lands in a tree near the camera - it clearly
    reads "I lied".)

    EXT. TRUCK STOP

    (A landscape covered with tractor trailer rigs
    is distinguished only by a set of small
    buildings with large signs reading "Diner",
    and "Eat and Get Gas". Soft country music
    plays to set the atmosphere.)

    INT. TRUCK STOP

    (In the truck stop, the first view is a
    reflection of the diner's interior on
    a bell. In the reflection some of the
    patrons, including Elvis, can be seen.
    The image is disturbed when the cook rings
    the bell.

    COOK:

    Pick up!

    WAITRESS:

    Hold your horses!
    (The view pans back as the waitress collects
    the meals and heads out through the crowded
    diner full of chattering people. She arrives
    at Goofy and Max's table with their food.)

    WAITRESS:

    Short stack?

    GOOFY:

    Right here!

    WAITRESS:

    Here you go, hon...
    (She turns to Max to hand him his food, but
    he is preoccupied and doesn't hear her.)

    WAITRESS:

    Eggs...eggs...EGGS...

    MAX:

    Oh! Oh yeah, yeah, right here...sorry...

    WAITRESS:

    Here you go, cutie...
    (The waitress sits his food in front of him
    and he looks down at it. The eggs and bacon
    are forming a smiley face. Goofy begins
    eating his pancakes when he notices Max
    absently picking at his food. He thinks for
    a moment then looks at the map - and decides
    what to do.)

    GOOFY:

    Max, I think we need to talk about this...
    (MAX, thinking he's been caught in the act,
    stutters nervously.)

    MAX:

    Huh?

    GOOFY:

    Seems to me you need to start takin' some
    responsibility around here...
    (GOOFY stands up at his seat, taps his water
    glass and draws everyone's attention. Max
    shrinks into his seat, embarrassed.)

    GOOFY:

    Excuse me, uh, can I have your attention,
    please? I, Goofy, hereby dub my son,
    Maximillian, official navigator and head
    which-way-er of this here road trip.
    (GOOFY hands Max the map, ceremoniously.
    The other people in the diner applaud
    and cheer loudly.

    MAX:

    (incredulous)
    Seriously?

    GOOFY:

    I'm not even lookin' at the map anymore.
    As a matter of fact, you can pick all
    the stops from here to Lake Destiny. I
    trust you wholeheartedly, son.
    (MAX: looks back at Goofy sheepishly.
    Goofy raises his mug of coffee for a
    toast, and Max joins him with his water
    glass...gingerly.

    GOOFY:

    To the open road!

    MAX:

    To the...open...road...
    (A piano slide leads into a jazz/pop
    tune that provides the background
    music for a music montage. They clink
    their cups together, then the car is
    seen leaving the diner.)

    MUSIC MONTAGE (descriptions of segments)

    (An overhead view of the creased map shows
    Goofy's car driving around on it
    surrealistically, with clouds overhead
    casting shadows on the map as they head
    toward their destination. GOOFY attempts
    to ride a jet ski, plunging into the water
    and shooting out again. He loses control
    and runs it aground. Proceeding up the beach,
    he slides past people sunbathing and through
    a row of cabanas. He emerges on the other
    side dressed in a variety of women's clothing.

    A close up of the car's front wheel follows,

    and the wheel blows out. Max and Goofy
    attempt to change the tire in a series of
    segments that are interspersed through the
    montage. Here, they both reach for the spare
    tire simultaneously, and hit their heads
    together. Recoiling, Max rubs his head,
    and Goofy gets the tire. MAX and Goofy ride
    a roller coaster side by side. Max enjoys
    himself immensely, but Goofy gets sick.
    Emerging from the restroom (labeled with a
    symbol that looks like him), holding his
    stomach gingerly, Goofy is greeted by Max,
    who cheerfully offers him a tray of junk
    foods - hot dogs, french fries, nachos and
    soft drinks. Upon seeing the food, Goofy
    grabs his mouth and races back into the
    restroom to throw up again. A monster truck
    crushes the roofs of a row of small cars
    while Max and Goofy look on at a monster
    truck rally. Max, swinging a giant foam
    "number one" finger, notices that Goofy
    is holding his head in an attempt to block
    out the noise. Another "driving across the
    USA" map sequence shows them getting closer
    to their destination. MAX uncovers Goofy's
    eyes, in order to surprise him with their
    current stop. Goofy opens his eyes to see
    the World's Largest House of Yarn. Excited,
    he yells "Oh Boy!", grabs Max by the arm,
    and drags him along to see the house. MAX
    and Goofy are watching a mime on a street
    corner. The mime is performing the standard
    "pulling on a rope" routine, appearing to
    pull on an overhead rope. Goofy nudges Max
    and winks at him. He approaches the mime,
    pretending he's following an imaginary wall.
    He makes a scissors motion with his fingers,
    and the mime gestures as if he's holding his
    rope out to be cut. Goofy smiles and makes
    a cutting motion where the rope would be
    and the mime smiles back for a moment before
    a piano falls and lands on him. Goofy
    and Max turn around and begin whistling
    innocently as they slip away. Another map
    sequence establishes them as being closer
    still to Lake Destiny. Returning to the
    tire changing sequence, Goofy is in the
    background pumping air into the new tire
    while Max struggles, trying to remove the
    blown tire. He slips, and the tire wrench
    flies through the air like a boomerang.
    Goofy ducks, and it just misses his head.
    Returning, the wrench hits the jack
    supporting the car. The car falls, propelling
    the old tire off at high speed. It hits
    Goofy in the chest just as he's lifting
    the new tire. He sends the new tire flying,
    and it lands on the car's axle - just as
    the car is on it's way down from a bounce.
    Max and Goofy exchange pleased glances.
    GOOFY is holding a camera at arm's length,
    in an attempt to take a picture of himself
    and Max standing in a cave. He is oblivious
    to the many eyes behind him, watching. He
    takes the picture, and the flash disturbs
    the bats. They fly toward them. Goofy and
    Max run out the opening to the cave; the
    sign above it reads "Carl's Butt Caverns."
    A batter at a baseball game the Goofy and
    Max are attending hits the ball. It heads
    for them, and Max readies himself and his
    glove in hopes of catching it. He stands
    up to catch the ball, but fumbles it.
    Goofy makes a dive to catch it and he ends
    up going over the edge of the balcony. He
    falls, but manages to catch himself on a
    string of streamers. As the streamers
    stretch, he falls right through the dugout
    roof, where he is suspended momentarily.
    He hands the ball to the player sitting
    there on the bench, and he signs it. The
    streamers spring back, flinging Goofy back
    to his seat - Max catches him and they
    exchange pleased glances. A close up of
    the car's wheel shows the new tire is
    almost completely in place. Max and Goofy
    are alternately turning the wrench. When
    they finish, they slap hands in a high
    five. The music comes to a close when the
    car is seen driving off into the sunset,
    but instead it turns into the parking lot
    of the Neptune Inn.)

    INT. GOOFY AND MAX'S HOTEL ROOM

    (After a brief establishing shot of Goofy
    and Max carrying their luggage through the
    door, they emerge in their room. It is
    lit in an eerie green light that befits
    the nautical theme. The waterbeds are
    transparent with fish swimming inside,
    and the rest of the decor is similar.)

    GOOFY:

    Gawrsh!
    (MAX sees the waterbed and jumps on it.
    The water sloshes him back and forth.
    Goofy looks at and feels the material
    the furniture is made of.)

    MAX:

    Who-ho-hoa! Check out the bed!

    GOOFY:

    Check out the dresser...coral!
    (On the wall there is a night light
    shaped like Ariel, which both Goofy
    and Max admire.)

    MAX:

    Nice lamp!

    GOOFY:

    Classy choice, there, navigator.
    (The quiet is broken by a loud pounding
    at the door followed by yelling. Goofy
    and Max begin to approach the door
    gingerly.)

    PETE:

    This is the Police! We've got the place
    surrounded, see? You Goof's come out
    with your hands up!
    (Pete breaks the door open and pretends
    to fire a machine gun at them, he knocks
    Goofy and Max backwards onto the floor.)

    PETE:

    B-b-b-b-b-bang! Ha ha ha! You should've
    seen the look on your face!
    (GOOFY looks at Max, and tries to pretend
    that he wasn't frightened, but Max doesn't
    believe it.)

    GOOFY:

    Ah-hyuk! You really had him fooled, Pete.

    MAX:

    Me!? You jumped out of your skin!
    (GOOFY and Max begin shoving and punching
    each other playfully.)

    GOOFY:

    Nuh-uh! I's just pretending for your sake!

    MAX:

    Oh, right, sure...

    GOOFY:

    Did too!

    MAX:

    Did not!
    (GOOFY grabs Max and begins mussing up his
    hair, both laugh.)

    PETE:

    Oh ho, ain't this sweet...
    (Pete tries to "wise Goofy up" by making him
    distrust Max. He grabs Goofy by the arm and
    quietly gives him "advice".)

    PETE:

    (quietly)
    Don't let him fool you with that buddy-buddy
    act, now..."under your thumb"...
    (He releases Goofy, who is looking more and
    more concerned.)

    PETE:

    So! Since we're all bein' palsy-walsy here,
    how about lettin' me hook up the RV?
    (Pete grabs Goofy around the shoulders again.)

    GOOFY:

    (reluctantly)
    Well...

    PETE:

    Oh, it's just a tiny little extension cord,
    you'll hardly even notice it.
    (GOOFY relents, so Pete calls PJ to bring
    the hookup.)

    GOOFY:

    Oh, okay.

    PETE:

    Great!...PJ!!
    (PJ appears in the doorway, straining under
    the weight of a huge, multipart tube. Pete
    points him toward the room, instructing him
    to hook it up. Goofy and Max stand speechless
    and wide-eyed at the sight.)

    PETE:

    Hey, Goof...why don't you order us a pizza,
    this might take a while.

    INT. GOOFY AND MAX'S HOTEL ROOM

    (The scene switches to an exterior shot of
    the inn to indicate the passage of time.
    The we see the interior of the room again.
    Max and PJ are sitting on the bed and the
    floor, respectively, talking. Goofy enters
    in a swimsuit and carrying a pizza for them
    to eat.

    PJ:

    No, you ma- (gasp)

    GOOFY:

    Here you go, kids...I'm gonna go check out
    the hot tub.

    PJ:

    Oh, okay, sir.

    MAX:

    Alright.
    (GOOFY leaves the room as Max and PJ start
    eating.)

    PJ:

    I can't believe you, man. Whatever made you
    think your Dad would fall for a stupid idea
    like that?

    MAX:

    It wasn't stupid!
    (While they are talking, Pete begins to enter
    the room to talk to them. He hears what they're
    talking about and decides to stay outside and
    eavesdrop on their conversation.)

    PJ:

    Come on, it was really stupid! Changing the map!?

    MAX:

    I-I didn't know what I was doing, alright?
    I-I-I was...I was PANICKED!
    - I...

    EXT. HOT TUB

    (The hot tub is surrounded by a high fence topped
    with flaming torches and various plants. Goofy
    eases himself into the steamy water. A soft green
    glow similar to the one in the room shines from
    in the water. He begins to relax, and sinks under
    the surface of the water. After a few moments, a
    large figure appears above him. He sits up and
    sees Pete standing over him in a small, tight,
    pink swimsuit.)

    PETE:

    Takin' a break from the "MTV" generation, huh?
    Heh heh...I can't blame ya...
    (Pete gets in the water, and much of it splashes
    out over the edges.)

    PETE:

    People are always puttin' too much water in
    these things...so, umm...you and your son seem
    to be, uh, gettin' along just hunky-dorey, huh?

    GOOFY:

    Yeah! It's been great! You know, it's funny,
    but none of your techniques worked for me.
    The harder I tried, the worse it got. Once I
    eased up, things just clicked.
    (GOOFY gets up and moves toward Pete. He sits
    on the stairs near the handrail and begins
    to relax, sinking back into the water.)

    PETE:

    Oh, that's swell...so, uh, no problems then, huh?

    GOOFY:

    Not a one.
    (GOOFY begins to relax again, but Pete grabs his
    attention by telling him about the map.)

    PETE

    (sigh) I just hate to be the bearer of bad news,
    but...uh...
    (GOOFY sits back up again, nervously.)

    GOOFY:

    (curious)
    What is it, Pete?

    PETE:

    Your kid's dupin' ya.

    GOOFY:

    (nervously)
    Whaddya mean?

    PETE:

    Well, I head the little mutant tellin' PJ
    that he change the map so that...you're
    headin' straight for LA, pal.

    GOOFY:

    (shocked)
    What?

    PETE:

    Oh, you tried, Goofy...he's just a bad kid,
    that's all.

    GOOFY:

    (calmly)
    I don't believe you.

    PETE:

    What!?

    GOOFY:

    I don't believe you, Pete.
    (GOOF: gets out of the hot tub and begins
    heading toward the room.)

    PETE:

    Well hey, don't take my word for it-
    check your map.

    GOOFY:

    I don't need to check the map...
    I trust my son.
    (He begins to turn away, but decides to tell
    Pete what he thinks.)

    GOOFY:

    You know, maybe Max isn't all the things that
    you think a son should be, but...he loves me.

    PETE:

    (angrily)
    Hey...my son RESPECTS me...

    GOOFY:

    (quietly)
    Yeah...

    PETE:

    Check the map, Goof...

    INT. GOOFY'S CAR

    (GOOFY: walks away from the hot tub slowly.
    He approaches the car and their room, and
    gets in the car. As he opens the door, the
    green glow momentarily succumbs to the bright,
    white light from the car's dome light. He
    shuts it again and the green glow returns.
    He sits in the driver's seat and begins
    reaching for the glove compartment to check
    the map. He decides not to do it and hits
    the steering wheel in frustration. As he
    does this, the glove compartment pops open,
    revealing the map.

    INT. GOOFY AND MAX'S HOTEL ROOM

    After a brief shot of the exterior of the

    Neptune Inn, we see Max and PJ still
    watching TV when Goofy walks in looking
    shell-shocked. Max turns around and greets
    him cheerfully and unknowingly.

    MAX:

    Hi Dad!
    (The only sound to be heard is the voice
    of Powerline on TV.)

    POWERLINE:

    ...even if I gotta shout out loud...
    (Unnerved, Max tries to improve the situation.

    MAX:

    Sorry about the mess...I-I'll clean it up...
    (MAX looks at PJ and shrugs, confused. Goofy
    is still silent as he turns the lights off
    and lays down in bed.)

    PJ:

    I think I'd better go...

    MAX:

    See ya, Peej!

    PJ:

    Don't forget..."Powerline"!

    MAX:

    Shhhhhhhh!

    INT. GOOFY'S CAR

    (GOOFY and Max are driving down the road
    in silence. Goofy still has the same
    shocked expression on his face. Goofy
    decides to give Max a chance to make the
    right choice, and hopes to avoid a
    confrontation. They exchange uncomfortable
    looks.)

    GOOFY:

    Well, here you go, navigator...just follow
    my route on the map, son.

    MAX:

    Okay, uh, umm...uh...
    (MAX looks nervously at the map, then up at
    the signs indicating the upcoming junction,
    which are zipping overhead.)

    GOOFY:

    Here comes our junction...
    (MAX still mumbles, undecided as they careen
    toward the center divider on the highway.)

    GOOFY:

    Okay, Max...now this is it: left or right?

    MAX:

    Umm...uhh...

    GOOFY:

    Come on, Max!!

    MAX:

    Aaaaaahhhhh!....LEFT!!
    (GOOFY: lurches the car to the left, and hits
    the center divider in the process.)

    MAX:

    Oh...(sigh)...Uh, how `bout a song, Dad?
    (GOOFY: sinks lower and lower - getting angrier
    and angrier - as Max continues to try to pretend
    nothing's happening.)

    MAX:

    Uh, a game? A game! Yeah! Yeah, a game! Okay,
    uh...man or woman? Man? Man...okay, uh...Walt
    Disney!
    (Finally, Goofy snaps. He veers off the road
    into a scenic lookout point and stops the car.
    He opens the door and struggles to get out while
    wearing a seat belt. He releases it and storms
    away, and begins looking out over the edge. Max
    decides to try to make amends and approaches
    Goofy.)

    MAX:

    (sigh) Dad, uh, listen...about my directions...
    (GOOFY turns away twice, refusing to acknowledge
    him.)

    MAX:

    Can you listen to me? I gotta tell you
    something, Dad!

    GOOFY:

    (angrily)
    Why bother? I'm probably too stupid to understand,
    anyway, right?

    MAX:

    (disgusted)
    Forget it!
    (MAX walks back to the car, kicks the tire angrily,
    then leans against the rear bumper. After a moment,
    the car rolls out from behind him and he falls to
    the ground with a thud. He looks back to see what
    happened and realizes that the car is rolling away.

    MAX:

    (surprised)
    Oof!...H-h-hey! The car!

    GOOFY:

    (angrily)
    What? Now you wanna drive, too?

    MAX:

    No, Dad! The car! Look!

    GOOFY:

    The car!

    Both of them begin running after the car,

    frantically.

    GOOFY:

    What'd you do now, Max?

    MAX:

    I didn't do anything, Dad! I only touched it!
    (The car passes under a low-hanging rock formation,
    and all their luggage is knocked off of the roof.
    A skateboard flies off and lands on the road in
    front of Goofy - who inadvertently steps on it.
    Max jumps on the back of the board and rides with
    him. They zip back and forth, trying to get around
    the side of the car.

    GOOFY:

    Oh, ohhhh...whoa!

    GOOFY:

    You locked it!
    (GOOFY grabs onto the driver's side of the car
    and tries to open the door, but it's locked.)

    MAX:

    I locked it!? It's your door, you locked it!
    (MAX leaves Goofy hanging on and manages to
    get to the passenger side door. He opens it
    and gets in the car. He unlocks the driver's
    side door and it opens, swinging Goofy out
    over the canyon. Max pulls the door shut
    again, and opens the window for Goofy to get
    through.)

    GOOFY:

    Well, you distracted me!...whoa!!
    (MAX pulls Goofy into the car up to his waist,
    and he loses his pants.)

    MAX:

    You should've put the brake on!

    GOOFY:

    Why don't you just put it on yourself!
    (GOOFY grabs the brake lever and pulls it to
    stop the car, but it breaks off in his hand.)

    MAX:

    See? You ruin everything...
    (The car slides out on the guide rail and
    hangs over the canyon.)

    GOOFY:

    Well, you ruined the vacation!

    MAX:

    I ruined it!?
    (The guide rail lets loose and the car gets
    launched into the air. It bounces off of
    several rock formations while Max continues
    to argue with Goofy, bouncing them both
    around the car's interior.)

    MAX:

    I never...wanted to go...on this stupid...
    vacatioooooooooooon!
    (The car bounces off the last rock formation,
    then plummets a long way before landing in the
    river below.)

    EXT. CAR IN CHURNING RIVER

    MAX:

    (gasp) Now look where you got us, Dad!

    GOOFY:

    Where *I* got us!?
    (They both struggle to get back on the car.
    Goofy boosts Max up onto its roof.)

    MAX:

    You should've let me stay at home!
    (MAX helps pull Goofy onto the roof.)

    GOOFY:

    Why? So you'd end up in prison?

    MAX:

    Prison? What are you talking about?
    (The car bounces and spins wildly through a
    series of rapids.)

    GOOFY:

    Your principal called me! You even lied to me!

    MAX:

    I had to! You were ruining my life!

    GOOFY:

    I was only tryin' to take my boy fishin', okay?

    MAX:

    I'm NOT your little boy anymore! I've grown up!
    I've got my own life now!

    GOOFY:

    I KNOW that! I just wanted to be part of it!
    (The car slides over a small waterfall into calm
    water. The car stops bobbing and the sun begins
    shining on them.)

    GOOFY:

    You're my son, Max...no matter how big you get,
    you'll always be my son...
    (GOOFY and Max sit with their backs to each
    other in silence as the car continues to float
    gently through the canyon. Birds fly overhead
    and soft music begins. Max breaks the silence.)

    MAX:

    There are times you drive me, shall we say,
    bananas...and your mind is missing, no offense,
    a screw.

    GOOFY:

    None taken.
    (The car floats into a cavern with blue ripples
    reflecting onto its ceiling from the water.)

    MAX:

    Still whatever mess I land in, who is always
    understandin'? Nobody else but you...

    GOOFY:

    Oh your moodiness is now and then bewilderin'
    ...and your values may be, so to speak,
    askew...

    MAX:

    Gesunheit!

    GOOFY:

    Thanks!

    GOOFY:

    Who deserves a hero's trophy, as we face each
    catastrophe? Nobody else but you...
    (The car exits the cavern into a slow, wide
    part of the river.)

    GOOFY & MAX

    Nobody else but you, it's just our luck, we're
    stuck together. Nobody else but you, it's crazy
    enough to believe we'll come through. They both
    take off their shoes and splash the water with
    their feet.

    MAX:

    So your jokes are all, let's face it,
    prehistoric.

    GOOFY:

    And your music sounds like monkeys in a zoo.

    GOOFY: & MAX

    But when life become distressin', who will I
    be SOS'n?
    (A small fish grabs Max's toe and he lifts it
    out of the water momentarily. Goofy lifts up
    his foot to find that a huge, ugly fish has
    swallowed it. He quickly shakes it off and
    sends it flying.)

    MAX:

    If you're having trouble guessing, here's a
    clue...Though he seems intoxicated, he's just
    highly animated...and he's nobody else but...
    (The car drifts into a whirlpool, and they
    get drawn under as they sing.)

    GOOFY: & MAX

    Nobody else but you, we've turned into a true
    blue duo. Hard times, we've had a few...like
    we're thrown in the drink, like we're tossed
    out of town, but when I start to sink, hey
    I'd rather go down...
    (The car resurfaces with a splash and bobs
    up and down.)

    GOOFY & MAX

    With nobody else, but Y-O-U!

    GOOFY:

    (smooch)

    MAX:

    Aw, Dad!

    EXT. CAR IN CALM RIVER

    MAX:

    Anyway, I figure she's never gonna want to
    talk to me again...much less go out with
    me...(sigh)...what a dumb lie, huh?

    GOOFY:

    Well whaddya know...my Maxie, in love!
    Huh... Gosh, you're really growin' up.
    Happened so fast, I guess I sorta missed
    it.
    (The water around the car becomes increasingly
    choppy and the light fades.)

    GOOFY:

    Wellp, I think the only thing for us to do
    now is to get you up onstage with this
    Powerline feller...

    MAX:

    Heh...uh, how are we gonna do that?

    GOOFY:

    Now you just leave that up to me...

    MAX:

    No, Dad, really...I-I think we should, you
    know, just forget it.

    GOOFY:

    Now how come you always think I'm gonna lead
    you into some sort of calamity?
    (MAX looks downstream and does a doubletake.
    The water is vanishing over a waterfall, and
    the car is heading directly for it.)

    MAX:

    Uh, uh, D-D-Dad...

    GOOFY:

    What's wrong now?

    MAX:

    Look!!

    GOOFY:

    Hyuk! A waterfall...WATERFALL!?!?

    EXT. CAR IN RAPIDS

    (The car spins and sloshes, and Goofy falls off.
    Max continues to hold on.)

    GOOFY: & MAX

    (frightened)
    AAAHHHH!!!
    (Max is quickly carried downstream on the car,
    leaving Goofy behind.)

    MAX:

    Daaaaaaad!

    GOOFY:

    Max!
    (The current slams Goofy against a rock and he
    grabs onto it. Some of their luggage floats by,
    including the fishing rod's case, which hits
    him in the back of the head. Goofy gets the
    fishing rod out and runs downstream on the
    rocks. He runs out on a log, in hopes of being
    able to get Max with the pole.)

    GOOFY:

    Grab a hold, Max!
    (GOOFY holds out the end of the pole. Max
    dives for it but misses, landing back in the
    water with the car. Goofy stands helplessly
    as Max continues to float toward the falls.)

    MAX:

    Aah!...whoa!...(gasp)...aaahhh!!
    (GOOFY casts the line and snags the front
    bumper on the car. The weight of the car
    pulls Goofy in. He flies downstream and hits
    some rocks which he uses for leverage. Finally
    the weight of the car overpowers him and it
    goes over the falls. Max gets caught in a tarp
    and falls with it. Suddenly the tarp unfolds
    and begins supporting Max in the air using
    the updraft from the falls.)

    MAX:

    (terrified)
    Dad!
    (GOOFY, still in the water, is unable to stop
    himself. As he goes over the falls, he extends
    the pole toward Max. Max grabs the pole, and
    they both swing downward - still supported by
    the updraft on the tarp. They smile at each
    other momentarily. Suddenly, the cork handgrip
    on the fishing pole slides off and Goofy
    plummets into the mist below.)

    GOOFY:

    (falling)
    AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
    (MAX looks at the end of the pole and thinks
    about The Perfect Cast. Without hesitation he
    attempts to perform it.)

    MAX:

    (hurriedly)
    Ten o'clock, two o'clock, quarter to three,
    touchate, twist, I'm a little tea pot and FLY!
    (MAX sends the line flying after Goofy.)

    GOOFY:

    (falling)
    AAHHHH!
    (The line is still loose and continuing to
    drop. Max's face falls when he realizes it
    hasn't caught. Suddenly the line becomes
    taut and Max gets pulled downward with the
    added weight. He begins to reel it in furiously.
    Goofy emerges from the mist suspended by the
    hook.)

    MAX:

    Aah!...aaahh! (grunt) Haha!!

    GOOFY:

    (sentimentally)
    The Perfect Cast...
    (MAX and Goofy grab one another firmly and hug.
    Both have tears in their eyes. As they embrace,
    Goofy's map lands on his head. He lifts it up
    and looks at it.)

    MAX:

    Boy, this has been one crazy vacation...
    (He tosses the map away, and it is carried off
    into the wind.)

    GOOFY:

    And it's not over yet...

    EXT. STADIUM IN LOS ANGELES

    (The scene opens with a helicopter shot of the
    stadium where the concert is being held. Their
    care searchlights beaming all around and a
    blimp circling. People are crowding in past
    the turnstiles and filling the parking lot.

    INT. BACKSTAGE

    (The backstage crew is unloading equipment into
    the stadium. Max and Goofy have hidden in some
    of the instrument cases, and they are carried
    into the loading area. When the door closes,
    they emerge.)

    MAX:

    (whispering)
    Dad?
    (GOOFY grabs Max by the arm and pulls him along.
    Max frees himself and stops, worried.)

    GOOFY:

    Oof! We made it!...Come on, Max...let's get you
    onstage...

    MAX:

    Uhh...maybe this isn't such a good idea.

    POWERLINE (V.O.):

    Yeah, yeah!
    (Two attractive dancers walk in front of Max,
    and he has a change of heart. He watches them
    walk by, and loses sight of Goofy.)

    MAX:

    Uh, then again...Dad?...Dad?
    (Onstage, the lights dim as a giant sphere is
    lifted up. Electricity arcs all around the
    sphere and it explodes, leaving only Powerline
    in its place. He stands up and begins the song.

    POWERLINE:

    Got myself a notion, one I know that you'll
    understand. To set the world in motion, by
    reaching out for each other's hand. Maybe we'll
    discover what we should have known all along.
    One way or another together's where we both
    belong...
    (Still backstage, Max is looking for Goofy when
    he sees Powerline and the dancers performing
    onstage, and stops to watch. A guard spies him
    and tries to catch him, but Max dives through
    the guard's legs and runs away.)

    MAX:

    Dad?

    GUARD

    What are you doin' here?...Hey!
    (GOOFY is looking for Max when he accidentally
    looks into the dressing room of a very heavy
    background singer. She screams and punches him
    back out the door. He falls backwards into some
    of the stage equipment and gets tangled.)

    GOOFY:

    Max?...Max?

    LADY:

    Eeeeeeek!
    (Powerline and the dancers continue their
    performance onstage.)

    POWERLINE:

    If we listen to each other's hearts, we'll find
    we're never too far apart, and maybe love is
    the reason why for the first time ever we're
    seeing it I2I. Love is always seeing it I2I...
    I2I we're seeing it, seeing it...I2I...

    INT. STACEY'S HOUSE

    (The camera closes in on Powerline's face,
    then pulls back again as a TV image in Stacey's
    house. Her party is in full swing, with everyone
    watching the concert. Everyone is watching for
    Max, but Bobby doubts that he'll show up. Stacey
    tries to reassure Roxanne, but her concerned
    look belies her words.

    BOBBY:

    That Goof kid ain't there!

    STACEY:

    Don't worry, he'll be there...

    POWERLINE:

    Love is always seeing it I2I...I2I we're seeing
    it, seeing it...I2I...

    INT. BACKSTAGE

    (The guard in pursuit of Max makes a lunge
    and misses. Max grabs onto a lighting scaffold
    that is being lifted into position. Goofy,
    trapped inside another of the pyrotechnic
    spheres, is being lifted onto the stage. The
    sphere arcs and explodes like Powerline's, and
    Goofy is sent flying onto the stage. He lands
    onstage beside Powerline with the tip of his
    hair still flaming. Powerline gives him a
    curious look.)

    GOOFY:

    Excuse me...Max? Ooh! Aaaaahhh!
    (Max is mortified, but has a brainstorm.)

    MAX:

    Hey Dad! Dad! Do the Perfect Cast!
    (GOOFY hears him and begins performing the
    motions of The Perfect Cast, much to the
    amazement of Powerline and the audience.
    Powerline continues the song and Goofy
    dances with him.)

    POWERLINE:

    If you're ever lonely - stop, you don't
    have to be; after all it's only a beat away
    from you to me.

    SINGERS:

    Take a look inside and see.
    (The guard climbs on the scaffolding to
    catch Max. Max bumps one of the lights, and
    the beam gets in the guard's eyes. He falls
    backwards, and his weight is too much for it.
    The scaffolding breaks loose, Max grabs a
    rope, the guard grabs Max by the legs, and
    they both swing downward.)

    MAX:

    Whoa! Whoaaaaahhhh!
    (The guard flies into one of the large
    monitors, smashing it in a wild shower of
    sparks and light. Max swings back, and
    ends up sliding onto the stage. He comes to
    rest directly between Goofy and Powerline.
    They both look surprised momentarily, then
    Max begins to dance and they join him.)

    POWERLINE:

    If we listen to each other's hearts,
    we'll find we're never too far apart,
    and maybe love is the reason why for
    the first time ever we're seeing it I2I
    ...seeing it I2I...seeing it I2I...for
    the first time ever, I2I...for the first
    time...(repeat and digress)

    INT. STACEY'S HOUSE

    (Everyone at Stacey's party watches
    excitedly as Max dances onscreen.
    Roxanne smiles gleefully.)

    BOBBY:

    Yeah! Max is on the tu-ube! That's Max!
    I know him!

    INT. PETE'S RV

    (PJ is scrubbing the floor of the RV near
    the television when he sees Max. Pete walks
    by drinking a beer and hears PJ yell. He
    looks at the screen and spits his drink all
    over it out of shock. PJ keeps watching Max
    through the fizz running down the screen
    while Pete coughs and chokes.)

    PJ:

    He did it!

    INT. STACEY'S HOUSE

    (Bobby, Stacey and Roxanne are dancing with
    the music-as is everyone else. Bobby sprays
    his cheese at Stacey and Roxanne, and bumps
    into someone. He drops his squeeze cheese
    and bends to pick it up. At the same time,
    Stacey reaches for it and touches his hand.
    They look into each other's eyes and smile.
    BOBBY & STACEY
    Ha ha ha!

    INT. ONSTAGE

    (The song ends to a round of applause. The
    applause slowly fades into the next scene,
    back on Roxanne's street.)

    INT. GOOFY'S CAR

    (The car is approaching Roxanne's house slowly.
    It is dented, crushed, smoking, and has no
    doors.)

    GOOFY:

    You're doin' the right thing, son.

    MAX:

    Yeah, I know...but she'll probably never
    talk to me again.

    GOOFY:

    Well, if she doesn't, maybe she's just not
    the one for you.

    MAX:

    That's what I'm afraid of...

    EXT. ROXANNE'S FRONT PORCH

    (MAX rings the doorbell and is met by
    Roxanne's father wearing a bath towel.)

    ROXANNE'S FATHER:

    Grrrrrrrrrr....

    MAX:

    Uh, hi! `Member me?
    (Not at all happy with seeing Max, he slams
    the door in Max's face. Roxanne comes to the
    door and opens it again.)

    ROXANNE:

    (excitedly)
    Daddy!...Max? I saw you on TV! You were
    great!

    MAX:

    (sadly)
    Yeah?...I mean no, no...I mean I...Roxanne,
    I lied to you. I don't even KNOW Powerline.

    ROXANNE:

    What are you talking about? A billion people
    saw you dance with him.

    MAX:

    Yeah, well...I-I never met him...before the
    concert, that is.
    (MAX walks over to the banister and picks a
    flower from a nearby bush.)

    ROXANNE

    (dismayed)
    You mean that story about Powerline and
    your Dad...why would you make up something
    like that?

    MAX:

    I don't know...I guess I just...wanted
    you to like me.

    ROXANNE

    I already liked you, Max...from the very
    first time I heard you laugh..."A-hyuk"
    ...heh...
    (MAX hangs his head, embarrassed.)

    ROXANNE:

    So, you wanna do something tonight?

    MAX:

    Definitely! Oh! Oh, no, I can't, I can't...
    (Roxanne shoots him a disdainful look.)

    ROXANNE:

    (doubting)
    What?

    MAX:

    Well, I'm kinda doin' something with
    my Dad.

    MAX:

    Honest!

    MAX:

    How about tomorrow?

    ROXANNE:

    Deal!
    (Roxanne extends her arm to shake hands,
    and Max surprises her with a quick kiss.
    Both giggle.)

    MAX:

    (smooch) Hmmhmm...

    ROXANNE:

    Heh heh...
    (MAX: accidentally laughs like Goofy again,
    and covers his mouth in embarrassment.)

    MAX:

    A-h-h-h-hyuk!
    (Their conversation is interrupted by loud
    bangs from the street. Goofy is attempting
    to put the front bumper of the car back in
    place while humming "Open Road". He grins
    back at them and gestures humorously at the
    car. Without warning, the car explodes,
    leaving only Goofy's shoes and socks behind
    as he sails through the air.)

    GOOFY:

    Do do dooo...do do do doo...ah-ho-hoooey!
    (Roxanne and Max cringe simultaneously as
    Goofy crashes through the roof on Roxanne's
    porch.)

    GOOFY:

    A-h-h-hyuk!
    (MAX smiles and introduces them.)

    MAX:

    Roxanne...I'd like you to meet my Dad.
    (Roxanne smiles and Goofy kisses her hand.)

    GOOFY:

    Enchante, Mademoiselle (smack)

    ALL:

    Hee hee hee...
    (They all giggle as the camera pans up past
    the house, the trees and into the clouds.)
    (The screen goes black abruptly as "I2I"
    begins and the credits roll.)
