Dialogue

[Fades to open on a sky blue screen shows "WALT DISNEY PICTURES presents" which changes to "A MOVIE". Goofy falls down while shrieking a familiar holler and a loud crash as a “GOOFY" sign appears on screen, to reveal a title logo: "A GOOFY MOVIE", the camera pans down to show a wind blown wheat field with a beautiful blue sky and cotton puff clouds]
Roxanne: Max… Max… Max…
Max: [appears close up and gasps at the sound of his name. He looks around for the source, finally squinting into the audience. The camera reverses viewpoint to show a tall pedestal with a female figure on top. Max begins to run through the wheat toward it. Finally reaching the clearing in the wheat, Max can now see who is on the pedestal clearly, a beautiful girl, in Max’s age] Roxanne?
[A girl, named Roxanne, is holding a white dandelion and she gently blows the seeds toward Max. Max is mesmerized by the seeds. Roxanne leaps from atop the pedestal and gracefully glides down toward Max. Max attempts to catch her, but they end up falling down on the ground. They giggle for a while, then look at each other. Max sighs. Roxanne puckers her lips for a kiss. Suddenly the sky changes to overcast gray and the wheat changes to thorns. Roxanne gasps and draw away, shocked. The camera switches to Max, who now has incredibly large buck teeth]
Max: [partly mumbling] What’s wrong? [notices his teeth. Then his ears grow, and his hands]
Roxanne: [backs off, terrified]
[Max's feet grow so big they burst out of his shoes and he continues to grow and change until he looks exactly like his father, Goofy]
Roxanne: [screaming]
Max: [feels a Goofy laugh force its way out of his throat like the howl of a werewolf]
[Lightning flashes. Suddenly, we are in Max’s bedroom]
Max: [awakes from sleep, screams and gasps repeatedly, checks his head and his teeth and sighs when he realizes it was just a scary dream]
[The Mickey Mouse-themed phone rings]
Max: [picks up the receiver and answers it] Hello? Hello?
PJ: [on phone] Max? Where the heck are you, man?
Max: PJ?
PJ: [on phone] You should have been here an hour ago!
Max: What? What are you… Hold on. [hits his alarm clock which was showing 4:02. The numbers spin then show 7:50] Oh, no! [leaps out of bed and begins to dress while still on the phone and puts on his pants]
PJ': [on phone] Look, maybe we should just call the whole thing off!
Max: No way, man! It’s now or never!
PJ: [on phone] Well, you better get a move on! I’ll meet you at my locker!
Max: [hangs up the phone]
Goofy: [open the door to Max’s room, dressed in his green hat, orange top, purple vest, blue pants and brown shoes and has a vacuum cleaner with him] Mornin’, son!
Max: [embarrassed] DAD!!! [yanks up his pants out of embarrassment]
Goofy: Oops! I forgot. [shuts door, knocks, then opens it again] Mornin’, son! I came to see if you had any…dirty…clothes…
Max: [grabs his shirt and puts it on] Well, there they are! Help yourself!
Goofy: [notices that then entire floor is covered with dirty clothes] Max! I thought we talked about this.
Max: [puts on his shoes] Yeah, look, I’m sorry, Dad. I’ll take care of it later!
Goofy: What’s the big rush?
Max: [grabs his baseball hat, shades and his backpack] I’m runnin' late.
Goofy: [begins to vacuum up the dirty clothes] Well, I could drive you on my way to work.
Max: Uh, no thanks. I..uh..I need the exercise.
Goofy: Aw, come on, Max! [accidentally allows the vacuum nozzle to get too close to a cardboard cut out of a singing rock star and The head of it gets sucked in]
Max: DAD! [grabs the cut out, while Goofy holds the vacuum, turns off the vacuum and extracts the cut out, which has been curled in a couple of places; enraged] Aw, Dad! You ruined it!
Goofy: [apologizes to Max] Sorry about that. Who was he, anyway?
Max: It’s only Powerline, Dad. The biggest rock star on the planet.
Goofy: Oh, not bigger than Xavier Cugat, The Mambo King! Everybody mambo! Mambo, mambo, mam-bo!
Max: Dad! Aw, come on, there’s no time for this! What if the neighbors see us, huh? [extracts himself from Goofy and dashes out the door]
[Camera switches to the front of the house. Max has exited out the front door]
Goofy: [comes around from the back] Maxie! Wait up! You forgot your lunch! Have a good day! [kisses Max]
[A few skateboarders passing by see it and start laughing]

[school bell rings]
Max: [singing] I wish that this was the day after today! [starts to step down, but trips and tumbles down, falling flat on his face at the bottom, losing his hat and shades]
Students: [laugh at him then walk away]
Roxanne: [comes over and helps him up] Are you all right?
Max: [puts on his hat and shades] Yeah, yeah, I’m okay, I just ah, duh,… [starts laughing, the emits a Goofy "Uhyuck!", covers his mouth and dashes away, accidentally tripping over some garbage cans. He looks back at Roxanne for a moment, then runs away with an cry of anguish]
Roxanne: [looks down at the ground for a moment]
[The school bell rings again and We cut to inside the high school]
Max: I can’t believe I did that! She finally says "hi" to me and what do I do? I choke! Uhyuck! Like a big spaz!
PJ: Where have you been, buddy?
Max: Hi, Peej. Did you get the camera?
PJ: Look, Max, if my Dad catches me with this he’ll kill me! Are you sure we gotta do this?
Max: It’s my only chance, Peej. To Roxanne I’m just a nobody! But after today…
[Max and PJ are suddenly flooded with light]
Max: [squints into it] Bobby!
[Bobby is drinking at the fountain with a straw. Max and PJ examine the video equipment on a dolly]
Max: Wow! All this is for us?
Bobby: Mmmmm. Slurpage!
Max: Oh, this is going to be so great, man!
Bobby: [wraps around Max] Dude, need fundage, bro.
Max: [reaches into his backpack, and brings out a bag, handing it to Bobby] Oh, your fee! Yeah, yeah! Right here.
Bobby: [reaches into the bag and pull out an aerosol can] Cheddar! [wolf howl] Cheddar Whizzie! [sprays an enormous amount of the cheese into his mouth, smacks his lips and coughs, spraying Max and PJ with cheese] Mmm. It's pretty scrumptious! Let’s do it, ladies!
[The scene cuts to school auditorium. Entire school body is there, making noise and throwing paper. Stacey is at the podium in the middle of the stage]
Stacey: As student body president, I just want to say, like, "yea" to all of us for a really neat year.
Trekkie: Yo, Stacey! Talk to me! Talk to me! Talk to me, baby!
Stacey: And also that 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.
[Students cheer this announcement]
Stacey: Thank you. Thank you very much. And now, without further ado, Principal Mazur.
[The microphone squeals as Mazur begins to speak]
Principal Mazur: Thank you, Stacey! And good 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…"
Chad: Say, uh, Roxanne. About Stacey’s party…
[The scene cuts to Max, who can see the Boy talking to Roxanne through a part in the curtain]
Max: [closes the curtain, and zips up his Powerline costume] How are you, uh, how are you doing down there, Bobby?
Bobby: Don’t give me that attitude, you guys. I’m doing it all for you.
PJ: 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! [trips on the wires backstage and partially goes under the curtain]
Max: Oh, I hope this works!
Principal Mazur: …how about Science Slumber Parties! [The spotlight goes out] What the...
Max: [puts on his shades and gives a thumbs up. It is echoed by Bobby and PJ. A button is pressed. Rock music begins. A large screen begins to rise behind Principal Mazur. Max appears on the screen. Bobby pulls a switch]
Principal Mazur: What? [notices the screen rising] Hey! I’m not going to just... [A trap door open up under the podium and it and Principal Mazur disappear down it]
Bobby: [laughs]
Max: [lip synching] Some people settle for the typical thing: 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. And once you watching every move that I make, you gotta 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 ‘til you notice me.
[The students scream their approval. Max is amazed to see the reception his act is getting. He especially notices the rapt gaze of Roxanne in the front row. Bobby laughs and tickles PJ over the success of the plan. Both give Max a thumbs up]
Bobby: [turns on a CO2 fire extinguisher] A little smokage! Arooo-oo-ooo!
Max: [lip synching] If I make you stop and take a look at me instead of just walking by, there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do if it was getting you to notice I’m alive. All I need is half a chance, a second thought, a second glance will prove I got whatever it takes. It’s a piece of cake.
[Bobby hands PJ a rope with a hook on it. PJ sneaks under cover of the CO2 fog and hooks Max’s belt from behind]
Max: [lips synching] To stand out above the crowd. Even if I gotta shout out loud. [grabs a basketball and slam dunks it. As he swings back, he reaches out for Roxanne’s outstretched hand]‘Til mine is the only face you’ll see. Gonna…
Girl: Wow! Who is that guy?
[Max’s hand almost grabs Roxanne’s, but suddenly the music winds down and dies. The cable is pulled back sending Max tumbling, finally ending up by Principal Mazur]
Boy: Hey, it’s the Goof Boy!
Bobby: We’re busted!
Goofy: [attempting to make a child smile by squeaking a rubber duck and making baby sounds] A-hyuck! Come on, smile! Smiley wiley! Aw, come on, Kimmie! Gimme a big… [squeezes a rubber ducky, the squeaker on the rubber ducky pops out which caused Goofy to choke and accidentally swallows it, squeaks when he tried to speak. The child likes it and breaks into a big smile. Goofy takes advantage of this to begin taking pictures and playing peekaboo with the child]
Pete: [furiously come up behind Goofy, angrily slaps him on the back and knocks the squeaker out of Goofy’s throat] Stop goofin' around! We got work to do!
Goofy: Okay, Kimmie, back to mommy, now. A-hyuck! You're such a cute little girlie. Oh, come back and see me!
Mommy: Oh, you have such a way with children!
Pete: [angrily mocks Kimmie's mother] You have such a way with children! Pleh!
Goofy: [approaches a little girl and her mother waiting for a picture] Okay, now! Who’s next over he…
Pete: [grabs Goofy out of his way] Step aside, Goof. Let a pro show ya how it’s done. Okay! Who’s next over here? Heh, heh! Oh, hello precious..
Little girl: [kicks Pete in the balls]
Pete: [holds his balls] Doh! Ow! You lucky woman! Now-now, now you come on here, honey! It’s picture time! She’s so cute!
Little girl: [giggles and hides] Peekaboo! Peekaboo!
Goofy: Gosh, Pete. You sure are good with kids.
Pete: Oh, yeah. Well, they love me. Why, PJ, he's been begging me to take him on vacation this summer.
Goofy: Really? Where you going?
Pete: Camping! Nothing like the great outdoors to strengthen the bond between a father and a son.
Goofy: Oh, Max would never go for anything like that.
Pete: I don't know, Goof. Something's wrong when a kid won't spend time with his parents. For all you know, he's running around with some gang and stealing stuff and causing riots, and...
Goofy: Oh, Max is a good kid. He'd never get mixed up in something like that.
[With a loud boom, we cut to the main office of the high school. Max and Bobby and sitting, waiting their turn to speak with the Principal. Miss Maples, a secretary, is typing and humming the funeral march]
Max: [depressed] I’m a failure--complete loser! My one chance to impress Roxanne and I blew it.
Bobby: [reveals something he has been working on for a while] Uh, huh! Max! Look! It’s the leaning tower of cheeza! [stuffs the cheese in his mouth]
PJ: [comes out of the Principal’s office with a vacant look on his face] Oh, man! My dad is gonna smash me like a bug!
Bobby: Hey, PJ! Detention! [laughs jokingly]
Principal Mazur: Robert Zimmeruski.
Bobby: [nervously calls Mazur] Okay, I’m comin'! Max, here. [hands Max can of cheese] Guard this with your life, dude. [wheels the dolly of video equipment into Principal Mazur’s office and gives Max a double thumbs up] Hey, Mazu-ur! What’s up, bro!
[The door to Principal Mazur’s office shuts. Max puts his head in his hands. Roxanne and Stacey come by the office]
Stacey: [fading] …with all those kids in my house the place will 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 Rain Forest"! Too much? Roxanne, are you listening?
Roxanne: [looks at Max]
Stacey: Ahhhh!
Roxanne: No, I don’t wanna…
Stacey: [whispers] Talk to him!
Roxanne: [clears her throat a couple of times]
Stacey: [whispers] Tap him!
Roxanne: [taps Max who immediately sits up, startled. Roxanne’s books and papers go flying]
Max: [looks at Roxanne and smiles, gets up out of the chair then starts to help Roxanne pick up the papers and books] Gosh, I’m... I’m sorry.
Roxanne: It’s okay. Really.
[Max and Roxanne reach for the same paper at the same time and Max’s hand touches hers. They stay that way for a moment, then Max withdraws his hand, a bit embarrassed]
Roxanne: Um, I-I liked your dance.
Max: Yeah. Yeah? Uh, yeah! It’s from Powerline’s new video!
Roxanne: I know! He’s, he’s totally a genius!
Max: Uh, yeah! He, he’s doin' a concert next week in Los Angeles!
Roxanne: Oh, yeah! Stacey is showing it at her party.
Max: Yeah!
Roxanne: Yeah!
Max: [fidgets and fumbles for a while] Um, uh, Roxanne, I was, uh, sorta kinda thinkin’ that maybe I’d, uh, ask you to [cough] 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 thinkin' that … I’d love to!
Max: Yeah?
Roxanne: Yeah!
Max: Good!
Roxanne: Great!
Max: Terrific!
Roxanne: Wonderful!
Max: All right!
Roxanne: Okay!
Stacey: [grabs Roxanne’s arm and beings to drag her away] Come on, Roxanne. We don’t wanna belabor the moment now, do we?
Roxanne: Well, I’d better be going.
Max: I’ll, uh, call you later!
Roxanne: Okay! Bye! [she backs into the door. Giggles nervously, then with a final "Bye." leaves the office.]
Stacey: See? That wasn’t so bad! I told you men are easy to deal with!
Max: Yes! She said yes! Woo hoo hoo hoo! Everybody mambo! [grabs Miss Maples and beings to mambo with her]
Miss Maples: It’s not my break yet!
Bobby: Yeah! Dance with her! Groove with her!
Principal Mazur: [enraged] Miss Maples! Get that boy’s father on the phone at once!
Miss Maples: [sing-songish] Yes sir! Right away, sir!
[The scene cuts to Goofy answering the phone at the Discount Store]
Goofy: Hello.
Principal Mazur: Uh, yes, Mr. Goof. This is Principal Mazur. I’m calling in regard to your son, Maximillian.
Goofy: Max? Oh my gosh! Is he hurt?
Principal Mazur: No, Mr. Goof. [enraged] He’s in trouble!
Goofy: Trouble? What kinda trouble?
Principal Mazur: Dressed like a gang member..
Goofy: Gang member?
Principal Mazur: …your son caused the entire student body to break into a riotous frenzy!
Goofy: Riot? It couldn’t be my…
Principal Mazur: [ticked off] 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! [angrily hangs up the phone]
Goofy: The electric chair? [lets the phone drop] What am I gonna do? [bathed in a beam of blue light]
PA: Blue light special on aisle 3. Blue light special on aisle 3.
Goofy: [bobs the head of one of the figures, which bounces around a while] Lake Destiny.
Pete: Okay, kiddo, now smile!
Goofy: Lake Destiny, Idaho!
Pete: Lake Whodawhata…
Goofy: You were right, Pete. Nothin' like the great outdoors to strengthen the bond between father and son! You said so yourself!
Pete: Well, yeah, but, ah…
Goofy: [takes off his hat and dances away, then puts it back on] I’m goin' fishin'! I’m goin' fishin' with my boy!
Pete: Yah! Okay, precious, give me a big smi…
Little girl: [giggles as she runs after Goofy] Fishy! Fishy!
[The scene cuts to front of high school. The final bell rings and students come dashing out. Max walks out with a smile on his face and a vacant look]
Boy: Cool concert, lad!
Max: What?
Another Boy: You wailed, bud!
Girl: Hey, Max. Wicked dance!
Max: Thanks!
Stacey: [comes by and pushes the girl away] Forget it, girl. He’s Roxanne’s.
PJ: Way to go, man! I just heard about you and Roxanne! You stud!
Max: Oh, Peej!
PJ: See? See? I told you our plan would work! [chanting] Max! Max!
Max: Peej, knock it off! Shhh!
Bobby: Maximum! Maximum!
Cheerleaders: Max! Max! Max!
[More and more students join in the chant until the entire student body is chanting "Max! Max!" Max is pleasantly shocked. He dances his way home, grabs a skateboard with his arm pads and legs helmet]
Max: [lip synching] All I need is half a chance, a second thought, a second glance will prove I got whatever it takes. It’s a piece of cake. 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. Stand out, hey. Stand out. (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Stand Out. ‘Til mine is the only face you’ll see. Gonna stand out so you notice me. [kicks the gate of his home open and walks through] Goin’ somewhere, Pop?
Goofy: Sure are, Pal-a-roony!
Max: Cool. Well, have a good time, Dad. If you’re gonna be gone more than a month, drop me a line.
Goofy: [puts the stuff in his car] 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!
Max: [shocked, drop his skateboard and faints]
Goofy: Are you okay, Maxie?
Max: Wha..What did you say? [gets up]
Goofy: [hugs Max]
Max: [annoyed] I think I’m gonna be sick.
Goofy: Hey! Got a present for ya!
Max: [gets annoyed even more] Dad! Stop that! What are you doing?!
Goofy: [pulls a cord and the vest inflates] You look just like I did at your age!
Max: [gets irritated] Please don’t say that, Dad.
Goofy: Wait! I saved the best for last! [laughs] It’s been handed down from Goof to Goof to Goof! And now, it’s yours, son.
Max: A stick?
Goofy: [reveals a fishing pole] No, silly. A fishin’ pole!
Max: [shocked and annoyed] Fishing? We’re goin’ fishing?!
Goofy: Yup, just like my dad and me did! Two best buddies fishin’ on Lake Destiny, away from it all!
Max: [stubbornly tells Goofy off] I don’t wanna be away from it all, Dad! I like it all!
Goofy: [shows Max a map] Hey, look, Maxie! We’re usin’ the same map me and my dad used. We’ll take the same route and make the same stops and see the same sights…
Max: [shocked] But that trip would take weeks, Dad!
Goofy: Exactly! Gettin' there's half the fun!
Max: [angrily pushes the map away] Put the map away, Dad. It’s not gonna happen, I’m telling you, it’s not…
Goofy: [puts the map back on the car] Careful, son! You’ll wrinkle my past. And our future! 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…
Goofy: Oh, there’ll 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! [holds his hat]
Max: Great, Dad.
Goofy: [opens car door] Hop in, Maxie!
Max: [angrily closes car door] No.
Goofy: [tries using sympathy] 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: I guess so.
Goofy: [frustratedly opens car door] Aw, come on, hop in!
Max: [angrily shuts it] No, Dad.
Goofy: [frustratedly opens it] Just hop right in there!
Max: [angrily shuts it] NO!
Goofy: [frustrated] Come on, Maxie! Go for it! [calmly] We’re ready for take off! [goes around to his door and gets in] Set for adventure, Maxie?
Max: [frustrated] Why are you doing this to me, Dad?
Goofy: ‘Cause, I don’t want ya to end up in the electric chair!
Max: The 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: [holds his hand to stop Max from speaking] No buts about it, Maxie Boy! Your ol’ pop knows best. [starts the car and back out] Goodbye, house. Goodbye, mailbox! [accidentally runs over his fence while turning into the street.] Goodbye, pile of broken wood.
Max: Goodbye, hopes. Goodbye, dreams. Goodbye, Roxanne. Roxanne! Dad, I-I gotta stop somewhere first. I-I have to talk to someone!
Goofy: Well…
Max: [grabs the steering while, and the car swerves down a side street. After knocking over a few things, the car stops in front of Roxanne’s house and gets out of the car]
Goofy: Now make it quick, Maxie boy. We gotta put some road behind us.
Max: [walks up to the front door] You get to cancel your first date in less than an hour. [rings the doorbell] Must be some kind of lame-o record.
[The door opens to reveal a rather mean looking person who growls at Max]
Max: Hi! Is Roxanne home? Uh, m-my name is Max. Does... Roxanne live here? Does she even live on this block?
Roxanne: Wait! It’s okay, Daddy. Max is a friend from school. Go on. Go on. Good Daddy. Hey, Max. You wanna, uh... have a seat?
[Roxanne’s father lovingly pats Roxanne, then growls at Max again]
Max: [mumbles something]
Roxanne: Daddy! 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: Yeah, I was, too.
Roxanne: Was?
Max: Well, you see my dad’s on this stupid father/son kick, and…
Roxanne: 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. I…
Roxanne: No, Max, I understand. Really, it's okay, these things happen…
Max: My dad surprised me, I don’t even wanna go, but I have no choice.
Roxanne: I’m sure I can find someone else.
Max: Someone else?
Roxanne: I’ll just talk to you later.
Max: [thinking quickly] Um, uh, Roxanne, uh... my dad is, uh... my dad’s takin’ me to the Powerline concert in Los Angeles!
Roxanne: Your dad’s taking you clear across the country just to see a concert?
Max: Uh... well - you see, uh, my dad... um, knew... knows - knows Powerline! They-they used to play together! In-in a band! Yeah!
Goofy: Come on, son! Let’s get this show on the road!
Max: Just a minute, you… party… animal, you.
Goofy: [grins]
Roxanne: You’re really serious!
Max: Absolutely. So uh... you aren’t still thinkin’ of goin’ with someone else, are you?
Roxanne: Well, I guess…
Max: Because, I was hopin’ I could, uh, wave to you on-stage 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] Have a great time at the concert, Max. I’ll see you on TV!
Max: I’m in deep sludge.
[Fade to Max and Goofy, leaving the city. Goofy is driving and running a video camera at the same time]
Goofy: Day One: Well, here we are, out on the open road! Retracin' the steps of my boyhood. And heeeeeere’s Maxie! Say, "Hi", Max! Well, how 'bout a wave?
Max: [puts his hand in front of the lens] Not now, dad.
Goofy: [puts the camera down, then notices that Max look really depressed] What a kidder! [gets an idea and takes out a list from one of his pockets] Hmmm. Fun and games I used to play with my dad. Road Bingo. Twenty… [to Max] Hey, Maxie! Uh, let’s play a game. You think of a name, and I’ll try and guess who it is. Uh, man or woman?
Max: [disgusted] Oh, man!
Goofy: Man, huh? Hmmmm. That’s a toughie! Uh, let’s see. Walt Disney!
Max: Right.
Goofy: I’m good at this! Now, I’ll think of one.
Max: [turns on the radio which plays Santa Monica by Everclear and starts doing air guitar]
Goofy: Oh, you wanna sing a song, huh? Me and my dad used to sing this one all the time! [puts in an 8-track tape which interrupts the rock music and starts playing "High Hopes". Goofy sings along. Max changes back to Santa Monica. Goofy changes back to High Hopes. It goes back and forth until they break the radio]
Max: [fed up with Goofy] 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!
[The beat is established by the car keys. The car backfiring joins in. Goofy starts to whistle the tune.]
Goofy: [singing] Do ya need a break from modern livin'? Do ya 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: [singing] All in all, I’d rather have detention. All in all, I’d rather eat a toad. An old man drives that’s such a klutz that I’m about to hurl my guts directly upon the open road!
Goofy: [singing] There’s nothin' can upset me ‘cause now we’re on our way! Our trusty map will guide us straight and true!
Max: [singing] Roxanne please don’t forget me, I will return some day. Though I may be in traction when I do!
[Wilhelm scream]
Goofy: [singing] Me and Max relaxin' like the old days! In a buddy-buddy kind of mode!
Max: [singing] It’s far worse than dragon breath and acne! I’m so mad I think I may explode!
Goofy: [singing] When I see that highway I could cry!
Max: [singing] You know, that’s funny, so could I!
Both: [singing] Just bein' out on the open road!
CW Girls in pickup: [singing] Howdy boys! Is this the way to Nashville?
Tow Truck driver: [singing] Watch it, Mack! Or you’ll be gettin' towed!
Con in paddy wagon: [singing] I’m in no hurry to arrive 'cause I’ll be turnin' sixty-five, the next time I sees the open road.
Wendell: [singing] Just a week of rest and relaxation, And the odd romantic episode!
Max: [spoken] Very odd!
[Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are hitchhiking]
Mickey Mouse: [singing] And it’s Californ-eye-ay or bust!
Little Old Lady From Pasadena: [singing] Look out you dirtbags! Eat my dust! From now on, I own the open road!
Goofy: [singing] It’s me and little Maxie, my pip-squeak pioneer!
Nuns: [singing] They're pardners forever "Westward Ho!" [spoken] Yeehaw!
Max: [singing] Could someone call a taxi and get me outta here, to Beverly Hills 90210?
All: [singing] Oh, every day another new adventure! Every mile another new zip code! And the cares we had are gone for good!
Max: [singing] And I’d go with them if I could.
All: [singing] I got no strings on me! I’m feelin' fancy free! How wonderful to be... on the open road!
[We fade to the next day. Goofy is driving with the map in front of him so he can’t see. Max is moping. The car drifts left of center. Max glances up and sees a truck coming as his expression changes to concern. The truck horn blows. Max looks alarmed. The truck horn blows again. Max grabs the steering wheel and turns the car back into the right lane just as the truck goes by and would have run into him, his dad, and the car]
Max: [ticked off] Dad, you’re gonna get us killed! Why don’t you just give me the map?
Goofy: Oh, no thanks, son. Navigatin’s a big responsibility! Besides, you wouldn’t wanna spoil the big surprise. I’m takin' ya someplace pretty special!
[They pull into a rather seedy looking attraction called Lester’s Possum Park and stop]
Goofy: Gosh! It’s even better than I remembered!
[The scene cuts to a mother attempting to drag her daughter through the entrance to the park, which resembles the mouth of a possum]
Girl: No! Mommy! I don’t wanna go!
Max: [not interested] Yeah, fun. Tell ya what: I’m just gonna wait right here in the car.
Goofy: [grabs Max and drags him] Ya party pooper! Come on! This is gonna be fun!
[The scene cuts to the interior of a small old theater]
Old Possum': Howdy there, folks. Lester’s is proud to present the Possum Posse Jamboree. Here it is.
[Several patrons clap for the show as Goofy and Max enter]
Goofy: Oh, boy! Just in time!
[The curtain opens and shows four holes in the ground. Out of one of the holes comes a mechanical possum which has obviously seen better days]
Lester: Howdy, folks! Who’s your favorite possum?
[Several patrons shout "Lester!"]
Goofy: I got us a seat right up front!
Lester: Let me introduce you to the posse! Here’s Buford, Beulah, and Mordechai!
Mordechai: Hey, Lester, ready for yodelin'?
Lester: Sure am, Buford. [singing] Now gather ‘round, my possum pals, and join the jamboree. Come hoot ‘n’ howl ‘n’ holler from the heart! And every chicken, pig, ‘n’ goat’ll help by yelpin’ out a yodel here at Lester’s Possum Park! [speaking] Join in, folks! It’s yodelin’ time!
[Many patrons join in the yodeling including Goofy. Max just looks disgusted]
Lester: [singing] Lester’s Possum Park.
[Max is getting more and more disgusted at the show]
Lester: [singing] Well don’t you wanna be, a’hangin' from a tree? We’re mighty glad to see ya and the parkin’s always free! [he begins to break down] Here at Lester’s Po-Po-Po- Possum Park!
Max: This is pathetic!
Goofy: [sees a souvenir stand and gets an idea] Hey! That’s the ticket! I’ll be right back, my little possum pal!
Max: [sighs] My life’s a living...
Lester: Hel-lo, little buddy! Who’s your favorite possum?
Max: [getting annoyed] Don’t touch me.
Lester: Aw, why such a long face? You’re so sad! Boo hoo hoo! I know! You need a big hug from Lester!
Max: [angrily gives Lester a warning with his finger] Don’t even think about it...!
Lester: [gives Max a giant hug which ticks him off] See? Now you feel all good inside!
Max: [angrily slaps Lester which turns his false head backward] Beat it, Doofus!
Lester: [staggers off unable to see where he is going and is knocked down and dragged off by several kids]
Max: Oh no, no, Dad! Not that, please!
Goofy: [comes back wearing a dead possum hat and puts one on Max] Here ya go, sport! Let’s say we get our picture taken!
[The scene cuts to a little girl crying while her picture is taken]
Max: You have got to be kidding.
Goofy: Oh, all right. But you’re missin' out! [foolishly hangs upside down between two possums to get his picture taken] Hiya, son!
[A lot of people laughing]
Kid: Hey, everyone! Check out the dork!
Photographer: Say, "sassafras".
Goofy: Sassyfrass!
[The branch breaks and Goofy falls to the ground. This sends one of the two possums hurdling toward Max and it hits him in the face. The possum then crawls down Max’s sweatshirt. Max beings to jump around in an attempt to get at the possum. A couple of musicians start playing country music, mistaking Max’s gyrations for an attempt at dance]
Goofy: That’s the spirit, Maxie! [grabs Max and starts dancing with him]
Max: [embarrassed] No, don’t Dad! This is embarrassing!
Goofy: [finally finished the dance with Max on his knee] Ta-da! Hyuck!
Kid: It’s Dork and Dork Junior!
Max: [gets ticked off and takes the hat off his head, furiously throws it to the ground and angrily fights his way out of the crowd. He furiously goes to the car only to find it locked. He angrily pounds his fists on the door just as it starts to rain. He furiously walks to the highway and angrily starts hitchhiking. A passing car sprays him with water, but he angrily continues to hitchhike]
Goofy: [comes out] Max! Hey, what the heck you trying to do?
Max: Trying to get away from you! [furiously leaves the highway and angrily goes back to the car]
Goofy: Me? What'd I do?
Max: Forget it!
Goofy: I thought we was having fun. What's the matter?
Max: Nothing. Let's just go. Well, come on!
Goofy: [sadly unlocked the door and Max gets in, goes around and gets in too, then hands Max the hat he threw away which infuriates him] Hey, you dropped your hat.
Max: [furiously blows up, screams in frustration, angrily yells at Goofy, and furiously takes his hat, but lividly rolls down the window, and angrily throws the hat away again] This is the stupidest vacation! You drag me from home, you jam me in this dumb car, then drive me a million miles away to see some stupid rat show! Call me when the trip's over.
Goofy: [sadly starts the car and drives off]
[We fade to a campground. Goofy is setting up a tent, and Max is sitting on a rock by a river. He is stirring the water with a stick. In the ripples, he imagines he sees the face of Roxanne. Suddenly, Goofy steps in the middle of her image]
Goofy: Hey, Max. You wanna get in some fishin' practice? Just a couple of days ‘til we get to Lake Destiny.
Max: Maybe later. [wanders off]
Goofy: [sadly returns to the tent, and begins to unroll a sleeping bag. While in the tent, a huge RV rolls over the top of the tent and proceeds to produce a hot tub, a basketball court, a bowling alley and a swimming pool]
Max: [comes back to see what’s happening] Whoa! Now that’s camping!
Goofy: You say somethin', Max? [gets hit by a door of RV] Ow! Pete?
Pete: Goofy? What a serendipity do dah! Who’da thunk it, huh?!
Max: Is PJ here?
Pete: Oh, yeah. I’m sure he’s loafin' around here somewhere.
[The scene cuts to the inside of the RV. PJ is buffing the floor and dusting while listening to Powerline on the stereo. He is singing along]
Max: What a goob! [turns off the stereo]
PJ: [begins treating the buffer like a microphone, still singing] Stand out! Above the crowd! Even if you got to shout out loud! No matter what you look it’s Max I ge... (spoken) Max!
Max: Hey-hey-hey!
PJ: Woah! Small wilderness, dude! Didn’t expect to run into you.
Max: Apparently not!
PJ: You’re just jealous man, ‘cause you ain’t got the moves!
Max: Yeah, you can keep the moves. But I wouldn’t mind havin' this RV. You’re so lucky, man!
PJ: Me? Aw, come on! You’re the star!
Max: Wha..what are you…
PJ: Goin' to the Powerline concert! Aw, it’s unbelievable, man!
Max: Who told you about that?
PJ: Hey, come on! Everybody in town knows about it, Max. :[Discussing Max's alleged trip to the Powerline concert] You're gonna be famous, buddy. Especially with Roxanne.
Max: There's just one person who doesn't know about this, PJ.
PJ: Who?
Max: My dad.
[The scene cuts to the roof of the RV where Pete and Goofy are. Pete begins to go bowling.]
Pete: So tell me, Goof. Is that kid of yours still giving 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.
Goofy: Too bad, Pete. Almost.
Pete: [angrily looks at Goofy] Almost? Hah! Watch this. [angrily bellows at PJ] PJ!
PJ: Here, sir. Coming, sir. Yes, sir.
Pete: [points at the pin. PJ goes over and kicks it down] Whoo-hoo! Strike-ola! Yee-haw! Thank you. Thank you. Yes! And the crowd goes wild! Ahh-ha-ha-ha! High five, son! Psych! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Say, Goof. Why don't you two stay for dinner?
Max: Cool!
Goofy: Oh, no thanks, Pete. Max and I have some fish to catch.
Max: [angrily sighs] Dad, we can do that tomorrow. [to Pete] So what are we having?
Goofy: But Max, I thought...
Pete: [clears throat] Under your thumb, Goof.
Goofy: [sternly confronts Max] Maximilian!
Max: [annoyed] What?
Goofy: [sternly orders Max] Get your gear, little man! We're going fishing! [loudly shouts] And I mean NOW!!!
Max: Dad, I don’t even know how to fish.
Goofy: Oh, now come on. That never stopped me! Let me show ya a little family secret handed down through about twelve or thirteen Goof generations: The Perfect Cast.
Max: The Perfect What?
Goofy: The Perfect Cast. My dad taught it to me when I was about your age. Okay now, watch carefully. You gotta be loose. Relaxed. With your feet apart, and… Ten o’clock. Two o’clock. Quarter to three! Tour Jete! Twist! Over! Pas de deux! I’m a little teapot! And the windup...!

[Goofy’s line goes all the way back to where Pete is Barbecuing steaks. The hook grabs a steak]

Goofy: And let ‘er fly! The Perfect Cast.
[The hook with the steak go sailing and land on the bank of the river a fair ways away in the middle of a large footprint. Two feet that match the footprint then come up. It’s Bigfoot. He is chewing on a log. He stops and sniffs, then sees the steak]
Goofy: And now, we reel ‘er in.
[Bigfoot is about to take the steak when Goofy starts to real it in. Bigfoot chases the steak and finally catches it. He bites it and is pulled by Goofy.]
Goofy: Quick! Get the camera!
[They manage to get back to the bank and Max hands the camera to Goofy]
Goofy: Must be over three pounds! I don’t wanna miss this!
[Through the viewfinder of the camera, you see Bigfoot.]
Goofy: [whisper] Look, Max!
Max: Uh, duh, duh, dad... [horrorly screams] It’s BIGFOOT!
Goofy: Could you back up a bit, Mr. Foot? Uh, you’re out of focus.
Bigfoot: [ferociously roars at Goofy and Max]
[The steak sails back at Pete and hits him in the face]
Pete: [angrily pulls off the steak] What’s the idea? [sees Max and Goofy running from Bigfoot and screaming] BIGFOOT!!! [grabs the BBQ, throws it in the RV, retracts all the equipment attached to the RV and drives off, leaving Goofy’s tent where it was]
Goofy: [runs backward getting Bigfoot on video] Behold the legendary Bigfoot! Fabled but seldom… [clumsily trips over the tent and the camera goes flying]
Max: [tries to get in the car] It’s locked!
Goofy: Quick! The sun roof! [starts rolling the window closed]
Max: Hurry up! Hurry up!
[The window closes just as Bigfoot gets there. He rocks the car back and forth for a moment, then notices all the equipment Goofy had unpacked. He goes to investigate]
Max: I can’t believe it... Bigfoot!
Goofy: And I’ve got the only video!
Max: We’re gonna be famous! [disgusted] Let’s just get outta here.
Goofy: [feels for the keys but Bigfoot has found them outside and tosses them away. Bigfoot has discovered the camera and is pulling the tape out in shreds. He then continues rummaging through their equipment. Fade to late evening. Goofy and Max are still in the car]
Max: Is he gone yet?
Bigfoot: [does a puppet show using socks. Then goes back to rummaging]
Goofy: Nope. Still here.
[Max’s stomach growls]
Goofy: Gee, Max. Was that Bigfoot or your stomach?
Max: [feels his stomach] Man, I’m starving!
[A can of alphabet soup lands on the hood of the car]
Goofy: Alphabet soup comin' up! [rolls down the window and tries to grab the can]
Bigfoot: [hears and turns around, roars ferociously, starts coming toward the car and runs toward it]
Max: Uh, duh, dad… Dad! Stop playin' around! He’s coming! [grabs his father’s hand and turns it so the can gets through]
Bifoot: [crashes into the side of the car and is sent sprawling along with a lot of the equipment he dragged along. He lands and a pair of headphones lands on his head, which is playing "Stayin' Alive" by Bee Gees. Bigfoot is startled at first, then begins to enjoy it]
[The scene cuts to the inside of the car where Goofy has just taken the cigarette lighter out of the dashboard]
Goofy: Well, it’s nice to know this thing’s good for somethin'. [balances the can of soup over the lighter]
[While they wait for the soup to heat up, they sit. Bigfoot does the hustle in the background. Max and Goofy catch each other looking at the other and quickly look away. Goofy then smiles and starts to chuckle]
Max: What’s so funny?
Goofy: "Hi Dad" Soup!
Max: Huh?
Goofy: Don’t tell me you don’t remember "Hi Dad" Soup. Oh, come on! Sure you do! You used to spell things out using the letters, like, uh, "Hi Dad" or "Maxie" or…
Max: …"Ambidextrous"…
Goofy: Yeah, that’s…Nah, little words, like…
Max: "Hasta la vista"?
Goofy: Like "Bye bye"!
Max: …or "I pledge allegiance"…
Goofy: …or "I love you"…

[Both Max and Goofy suddenly look sad]

Max: Is it soup yet?
Goofy: Oh, I almost forgot! [uses his teeth to create two holes in the top of the can]
Max: Woah! Where’d you learn to do that?
Goofy: Your granddad taught me that when we went to Yosemite.
Max: You two did a lot together, huh?
Goofy: Yup.
[Now Goofy looks sad. Suddenly they talk simultaneously]
Goofy: Max, you and I have to…
Max: Dad, listen I have a…
Goofy: How’s the soup?
Max: [drinks and leaves a soup mustache on his upper lip] Not bad. [sees his dad grinning] What?
Goofy: [Seeing Max with a mustache reminds Goofy of what Max was like as a little boy and just grins] Nothin'.
[Bigfoot climbs on top of the car and settles down to sleep]
Goofy: Welp, might as well get some shut eye. I don’t think we’re goin' anywhere tonight. [gets comfortable. Max looks lovingly at his dad, then down at the remnants of the soup in his cup. He fiddles with something at the bottom. Max then taps his father and hands him the cup. Goofy looks at the bottom of the cup to see the words "Hi Dad" spelled out. Goofy gets choked up and looks over at Max, who is settling down to sleep.]
Goofy: [whispering] Hi, Maxie.
[Scene fades to later that night. Both Bigfoot and Goofy are snoring. Max can’t sleep because of the noise. So, he finds a postcard and begins to write]
Max: [writing] Dear Roxanne, Couldn’t sleep... so I thought I’d drop ya a line. Dad and I are havin' a great time. We’re only days away from Los Angeles and I can hardly wait for the big concert. [he stops writing and looks sad. Then looks over at Goofy.]
Goofy: [in his sleep] More Hi Dad Soup, please.
Max: [gets a half smile on his face looking at his dad, then decides to re-write the postcard] [writing] Dear Roxanne, Sorry I lied, but I’m not really going to the Powerline concert. You may never wanna see me again... [stops when he realizes that won’t work either] Oh, man! I’m dead no matter what I do! [angrily stomps his foot on the dashboard. The glove compartment pops open and the map unfolds into his lap. He follows the route on it to Lake Destiny and then looks down to Los Angeles. A pencil rolls out of the glove compartment and conveniently stops, pointing from the route on the map directly to Los Angeles Max picks up the pencil then starts erasing. He then draws a new route to Los Angeles. The pencil tip breaks just before he finishes. Goofy yawns. Max breaks out in a cold sweat, picks up the pencil tip and finishes the drawing, puts the map back in the glove compartment and sits back nervously as Goofy seems to awaken]
Goofy: How many cups of sugar does it take to get to the moon?
Max: Uh... three and a half?

Goofy: [goes back to sleep].

Max: [sighs, looks at the postcard and then tears it up, opens the car window and throws the pieces outside into the wind. The pieces are carried toward the camera. One piece gets caught in a branch close up, with the words, "I lied" written on it]
[Fade to a truck stop the next morning. The short order cook rings a bell on the order counter]
Cook: Pick up!
Waitress: Hold your horses! [picks up the food and carries it to Max and Goofy] Short stack?
Goofy: Right here!
Waitress: Here you go, hon. Eggs? Eggs? Eggs!
Max: Oh! Oh! Yeah, yeah! Right here! Sorry.
Waitress: Here you go, cutie.
[The eggs and strip of bacon form a face. Goofy digs into his pancakes, then notices that Max, who was so hungry the night before is picking at his eggs and looking nervously at the map]
Goofy: [picks up the map, waving it at Max] Max, I think we need to talk about this.
Max: Huh?
Goofy: Seems to me you need to start takin' some responsibility around here. Excuse me. Uh, can I have your attention please? [clears throat] I, Goofy, hereby dub my son, Maximillian, official navigator and head which-wayer of this here road trip!
Max: 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 ya wholeheartedly, son. To the open road! [picks up his coffee cup]
Max: To the open... road.
[With Goofy driving and Max navigating, they continue their journey, stopping at a beach, where Goofy has a terrible time with a jetski, they change a flat tire, at an amusement park Goofy can’t stomach the roller coaster, at a monster truck rally where Goofy can’t stand the noise. Max notices this and decides his dad needs something he likes, so their next stop is the amazing house of yarn--one of the stops on Goofy’s map. A stop in New Orleans is next with an unfortunate encounter with a mime, they change another flat tire, they visit Carl’s Butt Caverns and accidentallyawaken the bats, and speaking of bats then attend a baseball game where they get an autographed baseball by very unusual means, The change another flat tire, and pull into the "Neptune Inn" motel for the night. They take a couple of suitcases and open the door to the room]
Goofy: Gosh!
Max: [notices the waterbeds with goldfish] Whoa ho ho! Check out the bed!
Goofy: Check out the dresser--coral!
Max: [turns a mermaid lamp off and on] Nice lamp!
Goofy: Classy choice there, navigator.
Pete: This is the police! We’ve got the place surrounded, see! You Goofs come out with your hands up! [starts laughing] You should've seen the look on your face!
Goofy: You really had him fooled, Pete!
Max: Me? You jumped out of your skin!
Goofy: Uh uh! I was just pretendin' for your sake!
Max: Oh, right! Sure!
Goofy: Did too!
Max: Did not!
Pete: Oh, ain’t this sweet! [aside to Goofy] Don’t let him fool you with that buddy-buddy act, now. Under your thumb![thumbs Goofy’s nose] So, since we’re all bein' palsy-walsy here, how about lettin' me hook up the RV?
Goofy: Well…
Pete: Oh, it’s just a tiny little extension cord. You’ll hardly even notice it.
Goofy: Okay.
Pete: Great! PJ!
[PJ comes in hauling an enormous array of ducts and cables. Pete points into the room. PJ hauls it all in]

'Pete: Hey, Goof. Why don’t ya order us some pizza? This might take a while.

[Goofy gets the pizza, then brings it in to PJ and Max]
PJ: …no I mean it, they…
Goofy: Here ya go, kids. I’m gonna go check out the hot tub.
PJ: Oh, okay, sir!
Max: All right.
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!
PJ: Come on, it was really stupid! Changing the map?
Max: Look, I didn’t know what I was doin', all right? I…I was… I was panicked!
[Goofy gets in the hot tub and is joined shortly thereafter by Pete]
Pete: Taking a break from the MTV generation, huh? Can't say I blame ya. People are always putting too much water in these things. So, um... you and your son seem to be, uh, getting along just hunky-dory, 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!
Pete: Oh, that's swell. So, there's no problems then, huh?
Goofy: Not a one!
Pete: That's, uh I just hate to be the bearer of bad news, but uh...
Goofy: What is it, Pete?
Pete: Your kid's duping ya.
Goofy: What do you mean?
Pete: Well, I heard the little mutant telling PJ that he changed the map, so you're heading straight to Los Angeles, pal.
Goofy: What?
Pete: Oh, you tried, Goof. He's just a bad kid, that's all.
Goofy: I don't believe you.
Pete: What?
Goofy: I don't believe ya, Pete!
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. [with a quietly defiant mien] You know, maybe Max isn't all the things that you think a son should be, but he loves me.
Pete: Hey, my son respects me.
Goofy: [listlessly] Yeah.
[He walks away]
Pete: [calling after him] Check the map, Goof!
[Goofy walks back to the room, but decides to get in the car instead. He reaches for the glove compartment, then stop. He thinks, gets upset and angrily pounds the steering wheel and starts to get out. The glove compartment pops open and the map spills out. The scene cuts to an aerial shot of the motel with Goofy’s car centered. Goofy goes back to the room]
Max: Hi, dad. Sorry about the mess. I’ll-I’ll clean it up.
[Goofy looks absolutely dumbstruck and disillusioned. He gets in bed and turns off the light.]
PJ: (whispering) I think I better go.
Max: (whispering) See ya, Peej.
PJ: (whispering) Don’t forget: Powerline!
Max: Shhhhhh!
[Goofy still has that look of disillusionment and sadness as he lies in bed]
[The shot twists and fades to the next morning as Goofy is driving with the same look. He looks over at Max who nervously grins. A sign comes up showing a junction with only left and right turn]
Goofy: [grabs the map and gives it to Max] Well, here ya go, navigator. Just follow my route on the map, son.
Max: Okay.
[They pass another sign pointing right to Idaho and left to California]
Goofy: Here comes our junction. Okay, Max, now this is it. Left or right? Come on, Max!
Max: LEFT!
[The car scrapes the center divider as they barely make it up the left ramp. Max looks back, then sighs]
Goofy: [looks annoyed]
Max: [nervously smiles] Uh... how 'bout a song, Dad? A game? A game! Yeah! Yeah, a game! Okay! Uh, man or woman? Man? Man! Okay! Uh, Walt Disney!
Goofy: [angrily swerves the car to a scenic overlook and stops the car, lividly fumbles with the seat belt, furiously gets out and ragefully stomps over to the stone wall at the edge of the overlook, fuming]
Max: Dad... Listen, about my directions... Will you listen to me? I gotta tell you something, Dad.
Goofy: [sarcastically] Why bother? I'm probably too stupid to understand anyway, right?
Max: Aw, forget it!
Max: [angrily kicks the tire and then leans on the hatchback. The car rolls forward and leaves him sprawling in the dirt] Hey-hey-hey! The car!
Goofy: [turns around] What? Now you wanna drive too?
Max: No, Dad! The car! [points at the car] LOOK!
Goofy: [shocked] The car!
[Max and Goofy chase their runaway car]
Goofy: [angrily gets in a heated argument with Max] What’d you do now, Max?!
Max: I didn’t do anything, Dad! I only touched it!
[The car goes under a low underpass and knocks their equipment off. Goofy steps on a skateboard and Max joins him. They catch up with the car]
Goofy: [manages to grab the door handle] You locked it!
Max: [enraged] I locked it? It’s your door. You locked it!
Goofy: Well, you distracted me!
Max: You should've put the brake on! [He pulls his father into the car]
Goofy: Why don't you just put it on yourself? [He pulls the brake, but it suddenly breaks off]
Max: See? You ruin everything!
Goofy: Well, you ruined the vacation!
Max: I ruined it?! [The car goes crashing from one rock pillar to another] I never wanted to go on this stupid VACATION! [The car splashes into the river. The car has landed in the stream with the Goofs inside] Now look where you got us, Dad!
Goofy: Where I got us?!
Max: You should have let me stay at home!
Goofy: Why? So you'd end up in prison?
Max: Prison? What are you talking about?
Goofy: Your principal called me!
Max: It's not what you think, Dad!
Goofy: You even lied to me!
Max: I had to! You were ruining my life!
Goofy: I was only trying to take my boy fishing, okay?!
Max: I'm not your little boy anymore, Dad! I'm grown up! I've got my own life now!
Goofy: I KNOW THAT! I just wanted to be part of it! [calmer] You're my son, Max. No matter how big ya get, you'll always be my son.
[The car slowly drifts downstream and Goofy and Max sadly sit on the roof with their backs to each other. The sun breaks through the clouds and Max finally decides to break the silence]
Max: [singing] There are times you drive me, shall we say, bananas... and your mind is missing, no offense, a screw...
Goofy: [spoken] None taken!
Max: [singing] Still, whatever mess I land in, who is always understandin’? Nobody else but you!
Goofy: [singing] Oh, you moodiness is now and then bewildering... and you values may be, so to speak, askew!
Max: [spoken] Gesuntheit!
Goofy: [spoken] Thanks! [singing] Who deserves a hero’s trophy as we face each catastrophe? Nobody else but you!
Both: (singing) 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!
Max: (singing) So your jokes are all, let’s face it, prehistoric!
Goofy: (singing) And your music sounds like monkeys in a zoo!
Both: (singing) But when life becomes distressing, who will I be S-O-S-ing?
Max: (singing) 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…
Both: (singing) Nobody else but you! We’ve turned into a true blue duo! Hard times--we’ve had a few…
Goofy: (singing) Like we’re thrown in the drink…
Max: (singing) Like we’re tossed out of town…
Both: (singing) But when I start to sink, hey, I’d rather go down with nobody else but Y - O - U!
[Goofy kisses Max]
Max: (spoken) Aw, Dad!
[Fade to further down river. Max has apparently explained everything he did and why]
Max: …Well, anyway. I figure she’s never gonna wanna talk to me again, much less go out with me. What a dumb lie, huh?
Goofy: Well, whaddya know. My Maxie -- in love! Gosh, you’re really growin' up! It happened so fast, I... guess I sort of missed it! Welp, I think the only thing for us to do now is to get you up on stage with this Powerline fellar.
Max: 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 just, you know, forget it.
Goofy: Now, how come you always think I’m gonna lead ya into some sort of calamity?
Max: [looks ahead, shocked] Duh, duh, Dad?
Goofy: What’s wrong now?
Max: [turns his dad’s head forward] LOOK!
[The car is approaching a high waterfall.]
Goofy: A waterfall. [panicked] WATERFALL?!?!
[Goofy and Max attempt to paddle upstream, and succeed only for a bit, but fail when the tide gets too much stronger. Goofy gets thrown from the car and grabs a rock. Max continues toward the falls on the car.]
Max: DAAAAAAD!
Goofy: Max!
[A fishing pole hits Goofy in the back of the head. Goofy grabs it and climbs over the rock formations trying to find a good place to try and reach for Max. He finally gets to a log and climbs to the end of it. He extends the pole toward Max.]
Goofy: Grab a hold, Max!
[Max obeys, and tries to grab hold, and misses the line, that is reaching out to him. The car goes over a rock in the river and flips over.]
Max: Whooooa!
[Goofy gasps as Max gets tangled in a tarp. Goofy tries to stop the car from going over the falls by casting the line to it and succeeds for a moment. Then the force of the falls breaks the log and Goofy is dumped in the river and crashes into a rock. Max looks down and gasps. Max and the car go over the falls, he still entangled in the tarp. As he screams and falls, the tarp becomes a parachute and the updraft from the falls carries him up above the falls. Max then sees his father heading for the edge of the falls]
Max: Dad!
[With a final effort, Goofy extends the fishing pole still in his hand toward Max in the moment in which he would tumble helplessly down below. Max grabs the end. For a moment, the two are dangling above the falls. They give a happy look at each other. Ignoring the exchange, the cork handle of the fishing pole, which is not able to hold on much longer, and due to the weight of Max and his parachute tarp, comes off and snaps with a loud pop as Goofy begins to fall]
Goofy: MAAAAAAAX!
Max: [almost without thinking and now remembering what his dad did at the fishing area, he spins the fishing pole around and starts doing the Perfect Cast and throws the line to his dad] Ten o’clock. Quarter to three. Tour Jete. Twist. I’m a little teapot. Let ‘er fly! [The fishing line flies toward the retreating figure of Goofy, who screams while falling down. Both are soon lost in the mist at the base of the falls. Max begins to worry that he is too late. Then the line goes taut. Max gasps, and begins to get pulled down, but starts reeling in the line. Soon, the figure of his father can be seen, hooked by the seat of his pants. Max, relieved, reels Goofy in all the way. Goofy with tears in his eyes knows how his son saved him.]
Goofy: The Perfect Cast.
[Goofy and Max hug each other. The map, blown by the wind lands on Goofy’s head.]
Max: Boy, this has been one crazy vacation.
Goofy: And it’s not over yet!
[The map sails toward the camera and showing Los Angeles. The scene cuts to the Powerline concert. Cars are being directed in. A couple of people are tossing instrument cases into a loading dock. A drum case opens, and Max gets out]
Max: [whispers] Dad? [he opens a base fiddle base and Goofy falls out.]
Goofy: We made it! Come on, Max! Let’s get you on stage!
Max: Uh, maybe this isn’t such a good idea.
[A couple of spandex dressed dancers pass by Max. Max looks at them admiringly]
Max: Uh, then again… [he notices that his dad is nowhere to be seen.] Dad? Dad!
[The scene cuts to the stage. Powerline is starting his final number]
Powerline: [singing] I got myself a notion and one I know that you’ll understand. We set the world in motion by reaching out for each other’s hand.
Max: [under the stage trying to find Goofy.] Dad? [looks up and sees Powerline from the back]
Powerline: [singing] Maybe we’ll discover what we should have known all along.
[Max has a flash light shine in his face]
Security Guard: What are you doing here? Hey!
[Max runs from the guard]
Powerline: (singing) One way or another, together’s where we both belong.
Goofy: [is backstage going through a hall of dressing rooms] Max? Max?
[Goofy opens one of the rooms and accidentallu discovers someone trying to get dressed. She screams in alarm. Goofy looks extremely embarrassed. She hits Goofy and sends him tumbling backward into a rather large and imposing piece of equipment with a door in the side. The door closes with Goofy inside and then starts buzzing.]
Powerline: [singing] If we listen to each other’s heart, 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 I 2 I.
[Through the TV screen, we go back to Stacey’s party. Everyone is gathered around the TV hoping for a chance to see Max on TV.]
Bobby: That Goof kid ain’t there!
[Roxanne looks worried.]
Stacey: [To Roxanne] Don’t worry, he’ll be there.
[Cut back to Los Angeles Max is running from the Security Guard and climbs onto a row of lights which rises. The Guard is right behind him. Goofy is now in a large globe, just like Powerline made his entrance in for the final number which begins to rise through a trap door in the stage]
Goofy: Excuse me, but uh… [he ends up accidentally center stage with Powerline. he squints into the audience.] Max?

[Just as with Powerline, Goofy’s globe is bathed with electrical charges. Goofy gets the shock of his life and the globe explodes, throwing Goofy at Powerline’s feet. Powerline stops and stares at Goofy. Max, from the rafters, sees his dad, is first embarrassed, then gets an idea and shouts down to his dad]

Max: Hey, Dad! Dad! Do the Perfect Cast!
[Goofy does it, and it looks like some kind of dance. Powerline gets interested and joins Goofy right at the "I’m a little teapot" part]
Powerline: (singing) If you’re ever lonely, stop. You don’t have to be. After all it’s only a beat away from you to me.
[The Guard crawls across the scaffolding to Max. Max leaps over him to the other side. The guy-wire breaks and Max grabs it. The guard grabs Max’s feet and they both go sailing. The guard ends up smashing into a large TV display, and Max ends up center stage with Powerline. Max gets up and starts doing the Perfect Cast]
Powerline: [singing] If we listen to each other’s heart, we’ll find we’re never too far apart.
[The scene cuts to Stacey’s party]
Bobby: Yeah! Max is on the tu-ube! That’s Max! I know him!
[Roxanne gets a big grin on her face]
Powerline: [singing] And maybe love is the reason why for the first time ever, we’re seeing it I 2 I.
[The scene cuts to Pete’s RV. PJ is scrubbing the floor in front of the TV and sees Max.]
PJ: He did it!
[Pete comes up behind PJ, sees Max and Goofy, and spits the beer he was drinking on the screen. He stares at the TV with his jaw dropped. Cut back to Stacey’s party. Stacey and Roxanne are trying to do the Perfect Cast. Bobby comes by and sprays them with cheese. Bobby bumps into someone and drops the can. Bobby and Stacey reach the can at the same time and their hands touch. They look at each other and smile. The concert finishes with a bang]
[Goofy is just pulling up in the car in front of Roxanne’s house. The car is a total wreck. When they stop, the front bumper comes off]
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. [goes to the front door and rings the doorbell] Uh... hi! Remember me?
Roxanne: Daddy! [opens the door and comes out] Max?! I saw you on TV! You were great!
Max: Yeah? I mean, no, no. I mean, uh... 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.
Roxanne: You mean that story about Powerline and your dad? Why would you make up something like that?
Max: I don’t know. I... I guess, I just... wanted you to like me.
Roxanne: I already liked you, Max. From the very first time I heard you laugh. "Uhyuck!" So... you wanna do something tonight?
Max: Definitely! Oh! Oh no, I can’t. I can’t.
Roxanne: What?
Max: Well, I’m kinda doin' somethin' with my dad. Honest? How about tomorrow?
Roxanne: [extends her hand for Max to shake] Deal. [Max kisses Roxanne instead. They both giggle and Max lets out a full Goofy laugh. He covers his mouth, but Roxanne just smiles. Back at the car, Goofy has managed to get the front bumper back on the car. He grins and points at it. The car explodes. Goofy is sent flying. With a full Goofy yell, Goofy lands headfirst on the roof of Roxanne's porch. He chuckles and waves at Max and Roxanne]
Max: [smiles] Roxanne, I’d like you to meet my dad.
Goofy: [takes Roxanne’s hand and kisses it] Enchanté, Mademoiselle.
[They all laugh, and the camera rises to the blue sky]
