I've got a shovel. lets bottle his blood and sell it as drugz.

 

Attempting to debunk the apostrophe failer's accuser fail. The apostrophe is not fine. The movie name is The Goonies and his sentence does not imply possession. No apostrophe needed. The "was'nt" must be a typo.

His:
"Was'nt he the athsmatic in Goonie's or was that a different kid? "

Correct:
"Wasn't he the asthmatic in The Goonies or was that a different kid?"

ETA: "The Goonies" is the title of a movie. Whether or not that is correct has nothing to do with the sentence itself.

Regardless, "wasn't/was'nt" is a contraction. The apostrophe is representative of a purposefully omitted character. In the original instance, this was the space. Most commonly however, it represents the "o".
