Daily Dialogue — June 9, 2011

Mikey: Chester Copperpot! Don’t you guys see? Don’t you realize? He was a pro! He never made it this far. Look how far we’ve come. We’ve got a chance.
Andi: A chance at what, Mikey? Getting killed? Look, if we keep going, someone’s really gonna get hurt. Maybe dead. We’ve got to get the police.
Mikey: Maybe Chunk got the police.
Andi: Maybe Chunk is dead.
Mikey: Don’t say that. Never say that. Goonies never say “die”!
Andi: I’m not a Goonie. I want to go home.
Mikey: I forgot. But still! Don’t you realize? The next time you see sky it’ll be over another town. The next time we take a test it’ll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. Well right now they got to do what’s right for them. Because it’s their time. Their time! Up there. Down here it’s our time. It’s our time down here. That’s all over the second we ride up Troy’s bucket.

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is kick ass kids dialogue suggested by Andrew Moore, who also suggested The Goonies.

Trivia: The Goonies Oath that was cut out goes as follows: “I will never betray my goon dock friends / We will stick together until the whole world ends / Through heaven and hell, and nuclear war / Good pals like us, will stick like tar / In the city, or the country, or the forest, or the boonies / I am proudly declared a fellow Goony.”
