[The 1990 Walt Disney Pictures logo appears. When the logo disappears, it 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...
[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] What's wrong? [notices his teeth. Then his ears and his hand grow. 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 screams. Max feels a Goofy laugh force its way out of his throat like the howl of a werewolf]
[Lightning flashes as the scene cuts at 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] [picks up the receiver and answers it]
Hello? Hello?
[on phone]
Max? Where the heck are you, man?
[on phone]
You should have been here an hour ago!
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]
[on phone]
Look, maybe we should just call the whole thing off!
No way, man! It's now or never!
[on phone]
Well, you better get a move on! I'll meet you at my locker!
[Max hangs up the phone] [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]
Morning, son!
[embarrassed]
DAD!!! [yanks up his pants out of embarrassment]
Oops! I forgot. [shuts door, knocks, then opens it again] Morning, son! I came to see if you had any dirty clothes...
[grabs his shirt and puts it on]
Well, there they are! Help yourself!
[notices that then entire floor is covered with dirty clothes]
Max! I thought we talked about this.
[puts on his shoes]
Yeah, look, I'm sorry, Dad. I'll take care of it later!
[grabs his baseball hat, shades and his backpack]
I'm running late.
[begins to vacuum up the dirty clothes]
Well, I could drive you on my way to work.
Uh, no thanks. I need the exercise.
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]
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!
[apologizes to Max]
Sorry about that. Who was he, anyway?
It's only Powerline, Dad. The biggest rock star on the planet.
Oh, not bigger than Xavier Cugat, The Mambo King! Everybody mambo! Mambo, mambo, mambo!
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]
[The camera switches to the front of the house. Max has exited out the front door] [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] [singing]
They've been laughing since I can remember, but they're not gonna laugh anymore! No more "Maxie the geek"! No more "Goof of the week" like before!

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]
Roxanne [Students laugh at him then walk away] [comes over and helps him up]
Are you all right?
[puts on his hat and shades]
Yeah, yeah, I'm OK, 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]
[With a loud boom, the scene cuts to the main office of the high school, where Max and Bobby and sitting, waiting their turn to speak with the Principal. Miss Maples, a secretary, is typing and humming the funeral march] [depressed]
I'm a failure--complete loser! My one chance to impress Roxanne and I blew it.
[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]
[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!
Hey, PJ! Detention! [laughs jokingly]
[nervously calls Principal Mazur]
OK, I'm coming! 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, Principal Mazur! 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] [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]
Ahhh!
Roxanne No, I don't wanna...
[whispers]
Talk to him! [Roxanne clears her throat a couple of times] Tap him!
[Roxanne taps Max who immediately sits up, startled. Roxanne's books and papers go flying] [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 sorry.
Roxanne It's OK. 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] Um, I liked your dance.
Yeah. Yeah? Uh, yeah! It's from Powerline's new video!
Roxanne I know! He's totally a genius!
Uh, yeah! He, he's doing a concert next week in Los Angeles!
Roxanne Oh, yeah! Stacey is showing it at her party.
Roxanne Yeah!
[fidgets and fumbles for a while]
Um, uh, Roxanne, I was, uh, sorta kinda thinking that maybe I'd 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!
Roxanne Yeah!
Roxanne Great!
Roxanne Wonderful!
Roxanne OK!
[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.
Roxanne OK! Bye! [backs into the door. Giggles nervously, then with a final "Bye." leaves the office]
See? That wasn't so bad! I told you men are easy to deal with!
Yes! She said yes! Woo hoo hoo hoo! Everybody mambo! [grabs Miss Maples and begins to mambo with her]
M Miss Maples
It's not my break yet!
Yeah! Dance with her! Groove with her!
[enraged]
Miss Maples! Get that boy's father on the phone at once!
M Miss Maples
[sing-songish]
Yes sir! Right away, sir!
[The scene cuts to Goofy answering the phone at the Discount Store]
Hello.
Uh, yes, Mr. Goof. This is Principal Mazur. I'm calling in regard to your son, Maximillian.
Max? Oh my gosh! Is he hurt?
No, Mr. Goof. [enraged] He's in trouble!
Trouble? What kinda trouble?
Dressed like a gang member. Your son caused the entire student body to break into a riotous frenzy!
Gang member? Riot? It couldn't be my...
[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]
The electric chair? [lets the phone drop] What am I gonna do? [bathed in a beam of blue light]
P PA
Blue light special on aisle 3. Blue light special on aisle 3.
[bobs the head of one of the figures, which bounces around a while]
Lake Destiny.
[The scene cuts to Pete with the camera, with the little girl's picture taking all set]
OK, kiddo, now smile!
[interrupts Pete's picture taking]
Lake Destiny, Idaho!
You were right, Pete. Nothing like the great outdoors to strengthen the bond between father and son! You said so yourself!
[takes off his hat and dances away, then puts it back on]
I'm going fishing! I'm going fishing with my boy!
Yah! OK, precious, give me a big smi... [sees the little girl's underwear still attached to the sitting stamp; he realizes that the little girl has gotten out of the sitting spot to avoid having her picture taken]
[giggles as she runs after Goofy; the little girl's butt is now nude]
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]
Cool concert, lad!
[comes by and pushes the girl away]
Forget it, girl. He's Roxanne's.
Way to go, man! I just heard about you and Roxanne! You stud!
See? See? I told you our plan would work! [chanting] Max! Max!
C 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] [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] Going somewhere, Pop?
Cool. Well, have a good time, Dad. If you're gonna be gone more than a month, drop me a line.
[puts the stuff in his car]
But Max, this isn't just my vacation. It's a vacation with me and my best buddy!
No, silly. With you! [Max gets shocked, drops his skateboard, and faints] Are you OK, Maxie?
Wha..What did you say? [gets up]
I'm going on vacation with you, Maxie. [hugs Max]
[annoyed]
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Hey! Got a present for ya!
[as Goofy puts a life vest on him]
Dad! Stop! I can't do it!
[pulls a cord and the vest inflates]
You look just like I did at your age!
[gets worried]
Please don't say that, Dad.
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.
[reveals a fishing pole]
No, silly. A fishing pole!
[shocked and annoyed]
Fishing? We're going fishing?
Yup, just like my dad and me did! Two best buddies fishing on Lake Destiny, away from it all!
[stubbornly tells Goofy off]
I don't wanna be away from it all, Dad! I like it all!
[shows Max a map]
Hey, look, Maxie! We're using the same map me and my dad used. We'll take the same route and make the same stops and see the same sights...
[shocked]
But that trip would take weeks, Dad!
Exactly! Getting there's half the fun!
[angrily pushes the map away]
Put the map away, Dad. It's not gonna happen, I'm telling you, it's not...
[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!
That's very mystical and everything, Dad, but, uh... seriously, there's this party I have to go to...
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]
[opens car door]
Hop in, Maxie!
[angrily closes the car door]
No.
[thinks for a second, then starts to feel very sad]
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.
[frustratedly opens the car door]
Aw, come on, hop in!
[angrily shuts it]
No, Dad.
[frustratedly opens it]
Just hop right in there!
[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?
[frustrated]
Why are you doing this to me, Dad?
'Cause, I don't want ya to end up in the electric chair!
The electric chair? What are you...
I'm not giving up on ya, son. Together, we're gonna work this out.
Work this out? But, Dad...
[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.
Goodbye, hopes. Goodbye, dreams. Goodbye, Roxanne. Roxanne! Dad, I gotta stop somewhere first. I have to talk to someone!
Well... [Max grabs the steering wheel 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] Now make it quick, Maxie boy. We gotta put some road behind us.
[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. It's Roxanne's father] Hi! Is Roxanne home? Uh, my name is Max. Does Roxanne live here? Does she even live on this block?
Roxanne Wait! It's OK, Daddy. Max is a friend from school. Go on. Go on. Good Daddy. Hey, Max. You wanna have a seat?
Roxanne [Roxanne's father lovingly pats Roxanne and growls at Max again. Max mumbles something. Roxanne's father peeks through the mail slot]
Daddy! [Roxanne's father eventually goes away and lets Roxanne have her private time with Max] I promise he'll be better behaved when you pick me up for the party.
Yeah, that's, uh, sorta why I came by.
Roxanne I'm really looking forward to it, Max.
Roxanne Was?
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.
No, it's not! Roxanne, I really wanted to go with you. I...
Roxanne No, Max, I understand. Really, it's OK, these things happen...
My dad surprised me, I don't even wanna go, but I have no choice.
Roxanne I'm sure I can find someone else.
Roxanne I'll just talk to you later.
[thinking quickly]
Um, uh, Roxanne, my dad’s taking me to the Powerline concert in Los Angeles!
Roxanne Your dad’s taking you clear across the country just to see a concert?
Uh... well - you see, my dad knows Powerline! They used to play together in a band! Yeah!
Come on, son! Let's get this show on the road!
Just a minute, you party animal, you.
Roxanne [Goofy grins]
You're really serious!
Absolutely. So you aren't still thinking of going with someone else, are you?
Roxanne Well, I guess...
Because, I was hoping I could, uh, wave to you on-stage when we join Powerline for the final number.
Roxanne This is incredible!
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!
[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]
You're doing the right thing, son.
Yeah, I know. But she'll probably never talk to me again.
Well, if she doesn't, maybe she's just not the one for you.
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!
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!
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?
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?
Definitely! Oh! Oh no, I can't. I can't.
Roxanne What?
Well, I'm kinda doing something 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]
[smiles]
Roxanne, I'd like you to meet my dad.
[takes Roxanne's hand and kisses it]
Enchanté, Mademoiselle.
[They all laugh]
But still, dad, I'm really happy, and I outsmarted you anyway. Hasta la vista. Leave me alone. [He sticks his tongue out at him and laughs.]
