The code below will cause me to want to kick your teeth in.
Thankfully, our geographical dispersion and my usual kind nature would prevent that.

if (condition) then 
    -- any amount of code 
    return 
else 
    -- lots of code 
    return 
end if 
 
-- I prefer 
object result 
if (condition) then 
    -- any amount of code 
    result = "TRUE" 
else 
    -- lots of code 
    result = "FALSE" 
end if 
 
-- print(LOGFILE, result) 
-- Thus allowing for easy debugging. 
return result
