SLOTH
(V.O.)
Hey yoooouuuu guys...!!!
FADE IN.
1 EXT. - ABOARD THE ATALA - DUSK OR EARLY MORNING 1
Sloth crashes two bottles of champagne together over his
head. All Goonies and shipmates are standing in rows facing
MIKEY, TAMI, and BARNACLE BILL. It is a fancy piratesque
mock-up of a wedding, with various ship items standing in
for the standard wedding decorations. A couple more people
run up to join the ceremony as it begins.
BARNACLE BILL
Argh, Matey's Shut yer' mouths!
(Clears his throat,
almost whispering)
Alright, I ain't done this fer...
well, I ain't never. But I AM the
cap'n.
(Louder)
We're gathr'd here to join these two
...PIRATES n' legal and... well,
matrimony.
TAMI and MIKEY are staring into each other's eyes. Out in
the crowd, ANDY nestles up closer to BRAND -- looking at him
with love. He kisses her.
BARNACLE BILL (CONT'D)
DERN! I fer'got the next part.
Anyway, If anyone got's anything to
say, say't now, 'er ferever hold yer
peace.
There is an awkward silence as they all remember what happened
the last time this was said. BARNACLE BILL begins again...
BARNACLE BILL (CONT'D)
Alrighty then...
BRAND
Wait!
Everyone turns toward BRAND in shock. MIKEY's eyes open
wide.
MIKEY
Wha...?
2.
BRAND goes down on one knee, taking ANDY's hands in his.
The crowd moves back, forming a rough circle around them.
BRAND
Andy... will you... marry me? I
know that I should have asked...
ANDY begins smiling through quickly forming tears. A very
emotional moment.
ANDY
YES! YES, I will! ...now?
BARNACLE BILL
Aw, Geez! Come on up, you two. May
as well do you too!
ANDY
I don't have a dress... I look
horrible!
STEF
Oh, go on, killer. We ALL look
horrible. Nobody's taking pictures
anyway.
The other Goonies egg her on. ANDY nods, and they head up
to the front of the ceremony next to MIKEY. MIKEY gives his
brother a hug.
BARNACLE BILL
Are th'r anymore love birds out there?
(pause) 'k, you guys have rings?
The four look around nervously, obviously not having anything
to use. SLOTH runs over to the treasure chest and begins
sifting through it. He pulls out four gaudy rings and takes
them up to the group. Each person takes one ring.
BARNACLE BILL (CONT'D)
Do you two young men take these
wenches... er, women to be yer
lawfully wedded wives?
MIKEY & BRAND
I do.
MIKEY and BRAND slip the rings on the girls' fingers. The
rings are extremely large, and almost fall off.
BARNACLE BILL
Aye, and do you hardy women take
these two gents to be yer life-long
adventurers?
3.
TAMI & ANDY
I do.
TAMI and ANDY slip their rings on the guys fingers.
BARNACLE BILL
I know pernounce you man and wife,
an'...
(Motions to ANDY and
BRAND)
YOU man and wife. You may now kiss
the bride. Er, BRIDES.
They do. The deck comes alive with the screams and clapping
of the crew and Goonies in celebration. Hats and stuff fly
into the air. At the rear of the ship, a single deckhand
pulls a knife out and cuts a rope. A huge CANVAS SIGN
unravels over the back railing of the ship with "Just Married"
crudely painted upon it's surface. Another person tosses
over a few ropes covered with cans and junk. As this is
done, we can see another rope that leads offscreen. We slowly
see it is dragging a small dingy some distance behind.
CHESTER COPPERPOT III and JAKE are tied to each other and
the small boat. Their mouths are gagged.
The sun is just beginning to rise. Aboard ship, Mikey is
looking off into the distance. Everyone begins to quiet
down, looking off in the same direction as Mikey. THE INFERNO
is floating in the distance like a dream. It looks like a
ghost ship.
MIKEY
He's been... watching us.
He hugs TAMI closer. In the distance, it appears that someone
(Willy?) waves from aboard the INFERNO. MIKEY returns the
wave as the ship fades away. He turns, not sure if he saw
what he thought he saw. The others are looking at him.
MIKEY (CONT'D)
You... you guys saw that, right?
BRAND
Yeah, WE saw it too. We saw it too.
BRAND ruffles his hand though MIKEY's hair, lovingly.
FADE OUT:
THE END.
