Chunk

Chunk has previously prank called the Sheriff, claiming multiple outlandish stories and getting himself into a lot of trouble. He's also caused a lot of trouble around town, pulling pranks and causing general mischief with the people of Astoria.

He is the only member of the Goonies to see the car chase between the police and the Fratellis. Chunk excitedly hurries to the Walsh residence to tell his friends about the chase, but nobody believes him. Mouth makes him perform the Truffle Shuffle before he can enter the house proper. Inside, he breaks a statue in the living room, and is tricked into breaking a glass case in the attic. With it broken, he and Mikey notice a map inside. Determined to find the treasure it mentions to save his home, Chunk accompanies the other Goonies out on a bike ride, mostly complaining the whole time about food and the dark.

Data

Data

Data and his family are preparing to move to Detroit, Michigan due to the Goon Docks planned to be sold away to Mr. Perkins. He spends the morning out, testing out an invention that reels things close to him via suction cup. It backfires though, and instead he's dragged headfirst into a trashcan, where he gets stuck and is unable to notice the Fratellis and police zip past him.

Later, he goes to hang out with his friends, ziplining from his house to the Walsh residence, crashing through a screen door, breaking it. He laments having to move and then apologizes about breaking the door to Mrs. Walsh. Up in the attic, he adventures around and explains how a static electricity ball works to Chunk. He tags along with the others, helps subdue Brand to a sofa chair, and rides off on his bike to Cannon Beach.
