• Francis Fratelli : [grabs Chunk by the throat]  Hey, kid. I want you to spill your guts, tell us everything.

  Chunk : Everything?

  Francis Fratelli : Everything.

  Chunk : [sobbing]  Everything. OK, I'll talk! In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I play Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... and then, my mom sent me to the... to the summer camp for fat kids... and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out!

  [much later] 

  Chunk : But, the worst thing I ever done: I mixed up all this fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this.

  [imitating vomiting four times] 

  Chunk : And then, I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. And I never felt so bad in my entire life!

  Jake Fratelli : [amused]  I'm beginning to like this kid, Ma!

  Mama Fratelli : [tired of Chunk's stalling]  Hit puree!

  [Francis turns on the puree blender] 

  Chunk : No! I'm too young!

  [the Fratellis grabs his arms] 

  Chunk : No, I want to play the violin! No, not my hand! Please!

  Mama Fratelli : Now, do I get the truth? Do I get the truth, or do you get juiced?

• Richard 'Data' Wang : Hey I've got a great idea you guys! Slick shoes!

  Mikey , Mouth : [together]  Slick shoes? ARE YOU CRAZY?

  Andy : DATA!

  Francis Fratelli : [Jake tries to push Francis over the log]  DON'T PUSH JAKE!

  Jake Fratelli : I'm not pushing Francis now hurry up!

  [Francis slips and falls on his crotch] 

  Mama Fratelli : Francis sweetheart are you okay?

  Francis Fratelli : [High pitched voice]  NOOOOOOO!

• Mama Fratelli : You're so quiet all of a sudden you're the one they call "Mouth" aren't you?

  Mouth : [nods no]  Mmm mm!

  Mama Fratelli : [proceeds to pull a very long pearl necklace out of Mouth's mouth while Francis ties Andy's hands]  Oh my god! OH MY GOD! Is that all?

  Mouth : [mumbles]  Mmm hmm.

  [Mama Frateli smacks Mouth on the back of his head and he spits out the rest of his share of the jewels] 

• Sloth : Mama!

  Mama Fratelli : Come to Mama baby, come on.

  Sloth : Mama, you've been bad.

  Mama Fratelli : Awww. I may have been bad. I may have kept you chained up in that room but it was for your own good.

  Sloth : Yeah!

  Mama Fratelli : Awww. You remember that song I used to sing to you?

  Sloth : Yeah!

  Mama Fratelli : You were little back then?

  [Mama Fratelli comforts Sloth] 

  Mama Fratelli : [singing]  Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top. When the wind blows the cradle will rock. When the bough breaks the cradle will fall...

  Sloth : Break! Fall!

  Mama Fratelli : No! I only dropped once.

  Sloth : Ahh!

  [Sloth carries Mama Fratelli to the plank] 

  Mama Fratelli : Well, maybe twice. No Sloth! Put me down!

• Mouth : Is this supposed to be water?

  Mama Fratelli : It's wet, ain't it? Drink it!

• Jake Fratelli : [checks his wallet]  Niente. Kids must've cleaned him out.

  Mama Fratelli : Sure, right before they ate him!

  Francis Fratelli : Stupid.

• Mama Fratelli : Four waters. Is that all?

  [Mikey, Chunk, Data and Mouth nodded] 

  Mouth : No! I want the veal scalopini.

  Mikey : [whispers]  Shut up Mouth.

  Mouth : I want a good fettucini alfredo. I want a bottle of fettucine, a 1981.

  [Mouth makes a kissing sound with his fingers] 

  Mama Fratelli : [grabs Mouth by the chin]  The only thing we serve is tongue.

  [Mouth enters his tongue, she uses the pocket knife, three boys shocked and covers their mouths] 

  Mama Fratelli : Do you boys like tongue?

  [Mikey, Data and Chunk shook their heads, she laughs and puts his pocket knife away] 

  Mama Fratelli : That's all?

  Mouth : Yeah, yeah.

  Mama Fratelli : Sit down!

  [Four boys are trying to sit down. But, Chunk falls off the chair] 

  Mouth : Are you all right, Chunk?

• Chunk : Mikey, Mikey, this ain't the kind of place you want to go to the bathroom in.

  Mama Fratelli : Why not?

  Chunk : Because they might have daddy longlegs and um... dead things, Mikey. DEAD THINGS!

• Mama Fratelli : There it is. Okay, Jake, you first.

  Jake Fratelli : I ain't going down there, Mama. Are you kidding me?

  Mama Fratelli : [pulls out her gun and points it at Jake]  GO!

  Jake Fratelli : I can't argue with that, Mama.

• Jake Fratelli : Francis, the lock. The lock!

  Francis Fratelli : Let go of the handle.

  Jake Fratelli : I don't have the handle! Open the lock!

  Mama Fratelli : Jake, up! Come on, move it!

• Mama Fratelli : Now tell me where your other little friends are.

  Chunk : [crying]  The fireplace.

  Mama Fratelli : Don't lie to me!

  Chunk : Honest. We went over to Mikey's dads place and we found this map that said that underneath this place there's buried treasure.

  Jake Fratelli : Come on, don't give us none of your bullshit stories huh?

• Mama Fratelli : Follow them size five's

• Mama Fratelli : The only thing we serve here is tongue! You boys like tongue?

• Jake Fratelli : [Jake notices The Goonies and talks to Mama in Italian]  Chi cazzi questi sono?

  Mama Fratelli : Jake, these boys are costumers

  [the Goonies gasp in panic] 

  Jake Fratelli : Che vuol dire, ma'? Questo non è un ristorante.

  Mama Fratelli : Zitto. Zitto, stupido. Non hai capito niente.

  Jake Fratelli : Ah, va bene. Va bene, mamma. Ho capito. Eh, boys, uh? You makes yourselves comfortable, uh?

  [to Mama, Italian] 

  Jake Fratelli : Mamma, butta fuori questi stronzetti.
