If you want to break your script into multiple lines you have to surrond your script with """ docs

`"query": {
    "function_score": {
      "script_score": {
        "script": {
          "lang": "painless",
          "source": """
            int total = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < doc['goals'].length; ++i) {
              total += doc['goals'][i];
            }
            return total;
          """
        }
      }
    }
  }
}`

Update: For some versions of Elasticsearch source should be replaced with inline docs
