the opening titles are displayed. In the locker room, Riley Andersen gets ready for a game as
she wraps tape around her hockey stick. Anger adjusts his tie, Fear tightens his bow tie, Disgust
files her nails, Sadness cleans her glasses as they shine. Riley puts on her hockey gloves while
[Riley and her teammates rush out onto the ice as the movie's title appears. The game starts.]
JOY: This is Joy, coming from you live in Riley's mind! And we are expecting a great
championship today with the Foghorns! Riley fans! Get up on your feet and MAKE SOME
NOISE!!!
JILLIAN MARIE ANDERSEN AND WILLIAM ANDERSEN: [chanting] LET'S GO, FOGHORNS!!!
FOGHORNS: FOGHORNS!!!
JOY: Now it's time to greet your Team Riley! Playing in his thirteenth year and fresh from the
ANGER: LET ME AT 'EM!!! [screams and shoots fire out of his head]
[He slams on the console, prompting Riley to adapt a look of fierce determination.]
FEAR: Helmet, pads, gloves, safety check list is complete! It should be nothing but smooth
RILEY ANDERSEN: [disgusted by a used mouth guard and spits it out of her mouth] BLECH!!!
JOY: And that, folks, is the infamous Disgust! Glad to have her on the team!
JOY: And bringing it up from the rear! You know you love her! The one, the only…
SADNESS: Oh! We got a penalty…! [cries and face plants on the console, making the color
blue.]
SADNESS: Yay…
Joy: [v.o] Okay, looks like we have a couple of minutes while Riley takes a breather, let me catch
Joy: [v.o] She's also really kind. And she's nice to stray cats, I mean, come on! Oh! And she's
Dentist: Ow!
Sadness: [o.s] Oh! There it is. Uh, what's that blocking it?
Riley Andersen's 3rd Belief: Get Up and Glow is the best band ever!
[In middle school, 12-year-old Riley is watching a girl, Grace, present a project.]
Young Grace Hsieh: Did you know the change in your couch could change the world--!
[Grace falls; the change in her jar spills all over the floor, and everyone laughs at her except for
both Riley and another girl, Bree, who feel bad for her.]
Disgust: No! That girl is a social titanic! Do not get on that ship!
[Behind them, a pedestal rises out where the core memory holder is; it manifests a mass of
jumbled light blue spark lines. This in turn prompts Riley to come to Grace's aid.]
Young Riley Andersen: It's okay. I drop things all the time. I'm Riley.
[They step up to the abstract and Joy fingers it like guitar strings.]
Joy: [v.o] It's what helps Riley make good choices. Thirteen years of hard work all wrapped up
and some might call our masterpiece. You know one of our hardest challenges-- Oh! Back to the
game!
Coach Roberts: What a game! That last play? Whoo! The three of you were impressive.
Coach Roberts: Look, it's last minute, but every year, I do a 3 day skills camp. I invite all the
Fear: Are we in a dream right now? Please can somebody pinch me?
Joy: If we impress coach, she'll put the 3 of us on the team next year.
Anger: Ooh, the Fire Hawks. Finally a team I can get behind.
● Riley: YES!! Thank you, coach! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
● Bree: YES!!
● Grace: YES!!
Mr. Andersen: Ha! You are such an all star. Oh, you're gonna knock the coach's skates off.
Riley: Dad, stop! It's just hockey camp. I mean who knows what'll happen.
Sadness: Oooh.
Riley: That penalty almost lost us the game today. What if I get to camp and I screw it up?
Joy: Don't look it's fine. This is for all those memories that belong in the back of the mind. Like
this penalty one. It's weighing on her so let's lighten the load. A one-way expressway to "We're
[She puts the "penalty box" memory in the launches and pulls the trigger, launching the memory
Disgust: Oh. Here's one where she waved at a guy who was actually waving at a girl behind her.
Joy: I don't know. Janet or something? Whatever. Let's just get rid of them. We keep the best
and... toss the rest! Whoo! Nice work everyone. Alright Anger, the rest of these babies can go to
Long Term.
(Anger pushes the end-of-day memory flush button, sending the memories to Long Term)
Joy: Okay, let's get some shut eye. Big day tomorrow.
Sadness: Joy, are you taking that where I think you're taking that?
Joy: Ya know, You're the only one who hasn't been to the Belief System.
Sadness: Yeah, its just that it's new, and I know how important it is, and I don't wanna mess it up
Joy: Sadness, you won't hurt it, I promise. Have I ever steered you wrong before?
Sadness: Oh my goodness.
Sadness: Whoa.
Riley's Beliefs: I'm strong. I'm brave. I'm a really good friend.
(Joy places the memory of Riley and her friends winning the championship in the water and
Joy: And all those beliefs come together to make our Riley.
(In the emotions' dormitory, everyone is sleeping, then a beeping sound is heard. Joy wakes up,
when she hears something. She goes back to sleep. When she hears it again, eveyrone wakes
up.)
(They exit the dormitory and notice the puberty siren on the console is flashing and setting off a
(Joy takes out the alarm and uses her protection system to launch it to the back of the mind.)
Sadness: Joy?
(A wrecking ball break the glass and Mind Workers show up.)
Joy: Hey uh, are the one in charge here. Could you do me a favor and stop tearing
Headquarters apart?
Worker: No can do. Didn’t you hear? Permits just came through.
Worker: For expanding the place. You know, for the others.
Worker: They’re not here yet? Ayayay. Hey Margie, you got that console?
Joy: Oh no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no!
(Anger activates the console, but Riley acts twice as angry than normal.)
Riley: Argh! You’re always on me! Can’t you just lay off for like one second?!
Mom's Sadness: Remember, we agreed not to make a big deal about this.
Mrs Andersen: You are not gross, honey. You’re just changing. Remember that beautiful
(In Riley's Headquarters, Joy uses an extending arm to try and use the console.)
● Mrs. Andersen: Well, that butterfly began as a caterpillar. And just like that
caterpillar, you're about to get your wings.
● Joy: Easy… easy…
back seat]
Grace: Oh my gosh!
Joy: Okay, until we can figure this out, nobody touch the console unless you really need to.
Mr. Andersen: So, big weekend for us? What do you want to do?
Bree: Me too!
Riley: I know! How great is next year gonna be? Coach Robert’s team has been state champs
Disgust: Uh, she made the Fire Hawks when she was only a freshman.
Riley: All we have to do is be super awesome at camp, coach will put us on the team and we'll
be Fire Hawks.
[Bree and Grace silently smile at Riley with visible resignation; Disgust notices.]
[She brings up a panel and begins typing. Onscreen, a system begins examining the girls' faces;
Disgust: Enhance 224, one seventy six. Track right, zoom in, right... there!
Anger: So?
[Bree's disgust brings up the same panel as Riley's and types; she compares Riley's
expressions.]
Bree's Disgust: Overlay and compare. See? Riley then, Riley now. Riley then, Riley now.
[Grace's Fear activates the console, causing Grace to reveal bad news.]
Disgust: Is she serious right now? How long have they known this?
Anger: Our life! It's over! We can't go to high school without Bree and Grace!
Grace: And we'll have this weekend. Which means we’ll get one last time playing on the same
team.
Bree: Friends are forever, right?
[They reach the building where the camp is to take place; the girls get off.]
Mr. Andersen: Here we are. This looks really cool. You sure you don’t need an assistant coach,
cause I am available.
Mrs. Andersen: Wait, Riley. Are you sure you have everything? Stick?
Riley: Yes.
Riley: Yes.
Mr. Andersen: Okay. Call us if you need us. I love you. Go get ‘em.
Riley: Mom.
Disgust: Guys, these are high schoolers. We do not want to be red and puffy, do we?
Sadness: No.
Joy: Don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of time to think about this after camp. Now where did Bree
Riley: Oh!
Riley: I know. You're the varsity captain. You set the all time goal record as a junior. Your
Val: Oh. You're the one coach told us about. Riley, from Michigan, right?
[Suddenly the console turned orange; this prompts Riley to begin speaking up in a nervous and
anxious manner.]
Riley: Yeah, that’s me. Riley from good old Michigan.
[As they back away, they saw what appears to be a new orange emotion named Anxiety. She
was female with upturn frizzy hair, She wore a striped orange sweater, brown pants and has two
green eyes.]
All: WAH! (The five are startled by the newcomer; Joy jumps in front of them.)
Anxiety: Oh my gosh. I am just such a huge fan of yours! (Shakes Joy’s hand rapidly) And now,
Joy: Uh...
Anxiety: I can take notes, get coffee, manage your calendar, walk your dog, carry your things,
Joy: Wow, you have a lot of energy. Maybe you could just stay in once place.
Anxiety: Anything. Just call my name and I’m here for you.
[They looked and saw what appears to be another emotion, a little teal emotion with huge sparkly
Envy: (gasps at Val onscreen) Look at her hair! We need hair like that!
Riley: Hey, maybe you wanna make the team? I can join team red head, too. Yeah, yeah!
[A hand slammed the console; it belonged what appears to be a giant pink male emotion with a
Embarrassment: Oh...!
Anxiety: That’s Embarrassment. He’s not really big on eye contact or like good talking, but he’s
Joy: Well, welcome to Headquarters, Embarrassment. Oh. We're doing a fist- No. Oh. No?
Embarrassment: (whimpers)
Val: Hey. You wanna come with me actually? We can meet some of the other Fire Hawks.
Anxiety: Oh, this is exciting. But we can’t let her know we’re excited.
[Camera pans to a long haired indigo emotion with a long nose and in a tracksuit and socks
Ennui: Ennui [on-we]. It’s what you would call the boredom.
Joy: Well, come on up here, En-wer. Am I saying it right? En-wha. No. Oh! Nicknames! I’m
Ennui: Non.
Fear: How are you driving?
Joy: Now, now, I know new emotions can sometimes feel unhelpful at first and you just
wanna...say to them. "Why are you so annoying?" But, I've learned that every emotion is good
Anxiety: Yes. I agree completely. We need new friends or else we’ll be totally alone in high
Anxiety: But what about the new ones we’re about to meet?
Joy: No. Okay, these next three days need to be about Bree and Grace.
Anxiety: Joy, th-the next three days could determine the next four years of our lives.
Joy: What?
Anxiety: Look, we all have a job to do. You make Riley happy, Sadness makes her sad, Fear
protects her from the scary stuff she can see and my job is to protect her from the scary stuff she
can’t see. I plan for the future. Oh! I can show you. You’re gonna love this.
Anxiety: Okay. So my team has run all the data and we’re looking at the following likely
scenarios. First, we don’t take this camp seriously and we goof off with Bree and Grace. Riley
looks really uncool in front of Val. She fails to impress the coach, does not become a Fire Hawk
and finally arrives at high school. She has no one, she eats alone and only the teachers know
her name.
Disgust: Ew!
[Suddenly, a grey elderly emotion emerges from a door by the idea shelves.]
Anxiety: Nostalgia! You aren't supposed to be here yet! You still have about ten years, two
graduations, and a best friend's wedding before you're invited, but I will keep you in the loop I
promise!
[Nostalgia leaves.]
Envy: Hey, hey, everybody focus. Val’s leading us into their holy inner sanctum.
Val: Hey. Come on. I want you to meet the other Fire Hawks.
Riley: Hey.
Val: Riley is from Michigan.
Riley: Uh...
Joy: There’s not enough room for Bree and Grace. Oh. Let's go sit over there.
Riley: I was gonna go save seats for my friends, but thanks anyway.
Anxiety: No, you’re totally right. That decision’s not gonna haunt us for the rest our lives at all.
● Riley: Awoooga!
● Bree: Awoooga!
● Grace: Awoooga!
Coach Roberts: Ladies, settle in means settle down. I need your focus, which means now I'm
Coach Roberts: Ah-ah-ah! You’re here to work. Not goof around, Got that Andersen?
Coach Roberts: Please put all your phones in the basket. You can get them back at the end of
camp.
Coach Roberts: You think this is funny. Uh-huh. Well you know what else is funny? Skating
Coach Roberts: Alright ladies, take a breather. Then we'll divide you into teams.
Dani: Yeah. There’s no way coach is putting her on the team if she can’t get it together
Val: Uh, okay Dani. Like you had it all together when you were a freshman?
(Embarrassment, who is on the whole console, reminds Sadness that can't reach the button that
Sadness: Oh. [touches the console as well] I got you, big guy.
Envy: Oh, I always wanted people to talk about us but not like this.
Joy: Okay.
[She puts an idea into the console. Riley wiped her tears away and approached Val once Anxiety
takes control.]
Riley: Uh-uh, I... I’m so sorry. I didn't mean to get the whole team skating lines. I feel terrible. I
Riley: —hockey player and you lead the team so amazingly and I-I-I really look up to you.
Val: Okay, okay. Thanks. Listen, coach was pretty hard on you today. But it's not a bad thing. It
Riley: Really?
Val: Listen, I'm glad you came to talk with me. Hey, let’s try to be on the same team later. Okay?
● Fear: Wow!
Anxiety: Oh you guys, I mean it really wasn’t anything. I'm just trying to help.
Joy: I agree. Great job, Anxiety. I step back, you stepped in, you got Riley back on track, now I’m
Coach Roberts: Okay ladies, we’re gonna form your teams for the rest of camp. Now split
yourselves down the middle. Team one on the right, team two on the left.
Riley: Right.
Anxiety: Come on, Riley, move. Move those feet. Val's on team one, you want to be on team
Joy: She made a promise to her friends. She’s not gonna break it.
[She reinserts the Sense of Self; Riley looks back at Bree and Grace. Joy sighs]
[Anxiety takes out the sense of self again; both fight over it.]
[Anxiety brings down the back-of-mind memory launcher and places the Sense of Self in it; she
[She takes control again, making Riley look back at the Fire Hawks and join their side. Bree and
Grace notice.]
[She briefly looks back at the distraught Bree and Grace before moving on.]
[She activates the code bringing up the elevator to the Belief System; the originals stop her.]
Anxiety: I am truly sorry. I was so looking forward to working with you guys.
Anxiety: Riley’s life is more complex now. It requires more specific emotions than all of you. You
Anxiety: It’s not forever, it’s just until Riley makes varsity or until she turns eighteen, or ma-
Anxiety: Okay. Don’t worry, Riley. You're in good hands. Now let's change everything about you.
[The second generation reaches the Belief System; Envy and Ennui are squished to
Envy: Quick question: How do we build a new Riley, which I'm loving by the way. Amazing
(Meanwhile, Joy and the others are being taken away from Headquarters. With Joy looking at it
and the others complaining. They are brought to The Vault, which contains Riley's secrets.)
Frank: (sarcastically) Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re not secrets, we’re making a big mistake.
Bloofy: Hey there. You know what we call that? Denial. Can you say denial?
Emotions: Ah!
Bloofy: Hi friends. Welcome! It’s so good to have you here with us today.
Bloofy: That’s right and here’s a little secret. [press against the glass, starling Fear] Riley still
likes the show. Stomp like an elephant, Scurry like a mouse! Make your way down to Bloofy's
House!
Joy: Bloofy, we’re in a real pickle, could you help us get out of here?
Bloofy: Uh oh, we’re gonna need your help. Can you find a way out?
Joy: Riley’s secrets, a rogue emotion has taken over Headquarters. Now if you could just open
the jar...
Bloofy: Hey kids. Let's learn some latin. Do you know quid pro quo? We get you out of that jar,
Lance Slashblade: No Bloofy. Their destiny is not ours to change. We were all banished here.
Disgust: Don’t you dare say that. You do not deserve to be thrown away.
Joy: Uh, one second, Lance. Don't you remember his power move?
Lance Slashblade: Shield yourselves my friends. For I shall set you all free!
[Deep Dark Secret lift up his fist and smash the jar into pieces, freeing the five emotions.]
Bloofy: Great job, Dark Secret. Now it’s your turn to help us. My pouch has just the thing to get
Bloofy: Pouchy, we need to escape. Do you have anything that can help us?
Pouchy: I have lots of items. Which one do you think will work the best? A tomato? A frog? Or
exploding dynamite?
[Anger grabs the dynamite and explodes the vault door open.]
Bloofy: Yay, we did it, everyone! Let's all sing the we did it song!
Emotions: NO TIME!!!
Lance Slashblade: Oh, disgusted one, as you once believed in me, I will now believe in myself.
the cops and the mop handle hit Frank's head, knocking him out. Joy, Fear and Sadness
watched surprised, Disgust is impressed by Lance's ability and Anger laughs at the Mind Cops'
misfortune.)
Joy: Riley’s not up there. She’s out there. We can’t go back without her sense of self.
Fear: You want us to go all the way to the back of the mind? Are you out of your mind?
Joy: Of course I have a plan. Who doesn’t have a plan? Look, she’s not the only one who can
forget the future. First, all we have to do is um… give me second. Oh! Follow the stream of
consciousness, And then we take a nice easy float all the way to the back of the mind.
Joy: Exactly. And there we’ll find the Riley we know and love. We’ll put her sense of self back
Fear: Okay, I’m gonna give it to you. That could actually work.
Joy: Yeah, it could! And then I tell Anxiety: “Hey, don’t worry so much anymore”, and she’ll say.
“Wow Joy, I never thought of that before. Thank you." And then we hug and become best friends.
Joy: Don’t worry. I know right where the stream is. Sadness and I have been here before. Oh.
Sadness: Everything's changing so fast. (starts crying and face plants on the ground)
Joy: Wait, she’s up too early. What are they doing to her? Come on! We’ll find another way.
[Meanwhile, Anxiety is making Riley practice while the others wake up.]
Anxiety: Because mon ami, we need to speed things up. And that means we hit the ice early
Anxiety: That's right. Every time we miss, we skate a lap around the rink. Hockey is not a game,
it is a sport.
Val: Hey, I see I'm not the only one who likes to start early.
Envy: We’re basically the same person. We’re gonna be best friends.
Riley: I-I don't know. Maybe an hour? I just wanted to get in some extra ice time.
Val: See? I told the other girls you'd figure it out. You get what it takes to be the best.
Envy: Oh! We should ask Val lots of questions. People love talking about themselves.
Riley: So what was your freshman year on the Fire Hawks like?
Val: I mean. It was a lot of work. Like a lot. But It’s also how I met my best friends.
Val: Hey, a few of us are just gonna hang out tonight, order some food. You should come!
Riley: Really?
Val: Definitely! It'll be fun.
Riley: Hi.
Riley: I know, right? I'd give anything for a piece of pizza right now.
Val: Yes!
Sadness: Joy...
Sadness: But I’ve been trying to tell you! We can’t take the tube back, Joy! Someone has to be
Joy: Well I doubt it. Fine. Okay, Uh... So, someone’s gonna have to crawl up that tube and go
Disgust: You want me to crawl through a tube, in this? Yeah, not happening.
Sadness: [realizes that Joy, Anger, Disgust and Fear all have an idea after looking at her] Oh,
Joy: Yes, Sadness, you can do it. You know the console better than everybody. You've read the
Sadness: I mean you say that, but I know a lot less about manual 28 chapter 7 "How to Recall
Joy: You’re proving my point for me. Sadness. That sounds like a yes.
Joy: Ooh! Walkie Talkies! Here! Check, check, check. Can you hear me? I'm gonna press a
button. Go for Joy. Copy that, over. Oh, I love 'em. We’ll signal you when we get there and then
you bring us back. Sadness, it's the fastest way back to headquarters.
Sadness: Joy, I can’t do it. I’m not strong like you are.
Joy: I know you, Sadness. You are strong. I can’t you specific examples right now, but you got
Sadness: Okay, I can do it. (starts sobbing while crawling up the tube)
Envy: Okay, no. You are so right. We eat whatever Val eats!
Envy: Whoo!
Anxiety: Envy, I think you’re really in the zone. Take the wheel. I’ll be right back.
Envy: She picked me, she picked me! Do you see that Ennui? She picked me.
Riley: It's got a very interesting texture. It tastes like. What does it remind me of? Um...
Joy: Cardboard? Asparagus?! BROCCOLI?!?!?! What are they doing to her up there?!?!
Anger: I don't know, but we have to go.
Coach Roberts: Alright ladies, great day today. Take it easy tonight.
Anxiety: Yes! This is the moment we’ve been waiting for. Party time with Val and our future
Dani: Only because everything coach thinks about you is in there. The good and the bad.
Dani: Or not.
Envy: Well, I didn't until now. What if she's made a list of all her favorite players and we’re not on
it?
Anxiety: Or a list the one of the worst players and we're at the top!
Envy: Or worse! We’re not on either list and we fade into obscurity!
Anxiety: Okay, first pretend with the group. We just got to act casual. Uh, why do our arms swing
Envy: Okay. We'll walk like Debbi. Her arms have rhythm.
Envy: Well, that wasn’t my intention. I’m sorry for trying something!
Anxiety: I don’t know. We we’re too focused on the arms thing. Just pretend we get the joke.
Fear: I bet Anxiety would know how long down to the minute.
Fear: Look, I don’t like her words and I do not like her actions. I just think I can change her.
Joy: You know what? Who likes banana bread? Show of hands.
Anxiety: Everyone’s staring at us. There’s only one right answer to this question.
Val: "Get Up and Glow!"! I was all over them in middle school.
Envy: No! We need a band they think is cool. Not that we actually like!
Sadness: Uh-oh!
[…she was sucked into the tube along with the other core memories.]
[The orbs land in a pile with Sadness landing inside them The trimpledent gum commercial
plays.]
Anxiety: Embarrassment, get that out of here. Hang on, there’s got to be something in here.
Something-
Envy: This is the best we have. It’s mostly jingles and dad’s yuck rock.
Dani: But I mean, you don’t still like "Get Up and Glow!", do you?
Anxiety: Okay, don’t panic, what do we do? If we don't like their music, we got nothing to offer
these girls.
Ennui: Pardon. Excuse moi. I’ve been waiting my whole life for this very moment.
[She leans one elbow on a console button, causing Riley to act sarcastically.]
Riley: (sarcastically) Oh yeah. I looooove Get up and glow.
Emotions: (screams)
Disgust: Joy!
Mind Worker: That’s a sar-chasm! It can open for miles! Run for your lives!
Joy: But she loves "Get Up and Glow!". They choreographed their own dances.
Fear: Okay, Joy, if we can’t follow the stream, we don’t know where we’re going. And if we don’t
know where we’re going, we can’t follow the steam! It is an endless loop of tragedy and
consequence!
Fritz: Huh?
Disgust's voice: (sarcastically) I bet you're the best crane crew in the world!
Bree: Riley, what are you talking about? You love "Get Up and Glow!".
Envy: Why are our best friends always trying to hang out with us?
Joy: We go the long way, which is the best day. Stretch those hammies, Anger. Let’s go.
● ???: Alright.
Anxiety: See? As long as we like what they like, we have all the friends we need.
Val: Yeah. It’s late. Plus, I think you'll wanna get some sleep before tomorrow’s scrimmage.
Val: It’s just something coach always does on the last day.
???: Technically, it's not your trial for the next year, but it basically is.
Anxiety: Did you hear that? We could become a Fire Hawk like tomorrow!
Envy: Uh, how do we be yourself if our new self isn’t ready yet?
Sadness: Oh...
(Anxiety comes out of the elevator and notices the broccoli Joy and the others rode on.)
Joy: Great observation. The long way did turn out to be a little longer than I thought. Anyway,
Anger: I’ll tell you what we do. We go back up there and we kick orange-
Disgust: Joy, this is useless. Real Riley is out there somewhere and we’re never going to find
her.
● Paula: ???. These can go.
Joy: Don't worry. I can find her. I just need to get a better view.
(Joy notices the lift vehicle and tries to use, but doesn't know how to work it.)
Joy: Okay, well, this isn’t working. And that’s fine. Everything’s fine.
Disgust: This is hopeless. I say we cut our losses and walk back.
Fear: This whole trip is just a series of deader and deader ends!
Anger: Ever since that puberty alarm went off, nothing around here works the way it's supposed
to do.
Disgust: I don’t even recognize this place anymore. It’s light out at one in the morning.
Anger: And if Joy can’t see that well, then she’s delusional!
Joy: Delusional? OF COURSE I’M DELUSIONAL!! Do you know how hard it is to stay positive all
the time when all you folks do is complain, complain, complain! Jiminy mother-lovin’ toaster-
strudel! Do you think I have all the answers? Of course I don’t! We can’t even find the back of our
own mind! Anxiety is right. Riley doesn’t need us as much as she needs them. And that hurts. It
really hurts.
Anger: Joy, you made a lot of mistakes, a lot. And you'll make a whole lot more in the future. But
if you let that stop you, we might as well lie down and give up now.
(Anger runs up to the hose Bobby and Paula are using and takes it from them.)
Joy: Look.
Anxiety: This is great. The Fire Hawks have accepted us. But if coach doesn’t put us on the
Anxiety: Which is why we’re gonna need more help. Ennui, are you paying attention?
Ennui: No.
Anxiety: Alright guys, it’s gonna be a long night. So let’s get the team ready.
Joy: Come on, we just need to cut through- (gasps) Imagination Land! Oh, you guys are gonna
love it. There's French Fry Forest and Cloud Town and-- Whoa. This place has changed.
Mind Worker: Extra, extra! Pipin, hot rumors, right off the mill.
Disgust: Abby Arson texting Mike T, but Mike T’s been obsessed over Sarah M?
Joy: (gasps) Fort Pillowton's still here. And it even got bigger. And orange?
[They check inside]
Anxiety: We need to help Riley prepare. Now’s the time we send up every possible thing that
can go wrong. We are looking to the future. Every possible mistake she could make. Come on,
17. I’m not seeing anything from you. Riley misses an open goal, Coach writes back her
Anxiety: Val and her friends like us now. But if we don’t make the team, will they like us
tomorrow? Okay, let's go to number three. Bree and Grace's team win and we look stupid.
Joy: We can’t let her do this to Riley. We have to shut this down.
Anxiety: Love it, 37. Riley hits the puck into her own net.
Anxiety: Riley scores and everyone hugs her? 81, that is not helping.
Disgust: Riley paints her nails to match her jersey, everybody copies her and she is so cool.
Anger: We bought flowers for the losing team. What? I can't always be the rage guy.
Joy: No, no. I liked it.
Anxiety: Nail polish, knee pads? I'm starting to think you guys don’t understand the assignment.
[She realizes Joy is in the center and glances annoyingly toward the camera.]
Joy: Don’t listen to Anxiety. She’s using these horrible projections to change Riley.
Anxiety: Joy, I'm doing this for you. This is all so Riley can be happier.
Joy: If you wanted her to be happy, then you'd stop hurting her! Who’s with me? Really?
Nothing?
Joy: Yeah. I see you 87. A cat! Little off topic, but I’ll take it. Who else? Come on!
Anxiety: What if Riley is better than Val and then Val hates her?
Joy: Or what if Riley is better than Val and Val respects her? Yeah, there we go!
Anxiety: NO!
Anger: Anxiety’s got you all chained to desks, drawing nightmares. But you don’t have to take it
anymore!
Anxiety: MY PROJECTIONS!
Joy: Oh no no no.
Joy: Underpaid.
Joy: I don’t understand what that is. Oh, Supreme Court Justice!
● Disgust: Yes!
Anxiety: Joy doesn’t get it. Without our projections, we won’t be prepared. Tomorrow’s game is
everything.
Envy: Coach will either make us a Fire Hawk or doom us to a friendless future.
Anxiety: All we got to do is to sneak into her office and read it. Come on, Riley, move those feet.
Envy: We gotta see what’s in the notebook. It's the only way for us to know how we can do
better.
Joy: Sadness? Sadness, what’s wrong? Why is Riley awake again? Over.
Joy: What?
Joy: Sadness, you have to stop her. Just don’t get caught. Over.
(Sadness tries to get Embarrasment to help, but he just brushes her off.)
[Sadness then sees Ennui sleeping with her phone and gets an idea. Riley is about to open the
your phone?
Ennui: What about...my phone?! Where is my phone?! Seriously?! This is not happening! NO,
Envy: Gotcha!
[Sadness has disappeared. Anxiety looks up toward the emotions' dorm; inside, she spots
Anxiety: Sadness?
[Anxiety pulls off the blanket, revealing Sadness underneath with Ennui's phone.]
Anxiety: It’s not about who Riley is. It's about who she needs to be.
[She takes over; Riley once again opens the book and flips to her entry. It reads "Riley Andersen
Anxiety: Wait. The Coach already decided we’re not making the team?
Envy: No. We have one day left. What do we do? What can we do? What would Val do?
Anxiety: Okay, okay, okay. Uh well, We’re just gonna have to change coach’s mind. Which
Disgust: Ow!
Emotions: (screams)
(She throws them away. In Headquarters, some of the ideas fall down the recall tube into some
Anxiety: Yes!
(In her dorm, Riley paces back and forth deep in thought.)
[She started smashing the ideas once the other emotions saw a massive storm coming this way.]
Disgust: Joy!
Envy: I’ll start sorting these into ideas I wish I thought of.
Anxiety: No no no! None of these are good enough! We need more! Get more!
Disgust: Get on the balloon!
[Disgust tried to catch one but she falls. Fear and Anger grab her.]
Fear: Ready?
[The idea hit Joy, making the other emotions fall off and grab onto the idea.]
● Disgust: Yes!
Joy: We made it! Come on! To the back of the mind! You’re finished, Anxiety!
Anxiety: Coach is right, Riley isn’t ready, but we’re so close to a new Riley who is. This is what
we’re missing. We show them we’re a Fire Hawk who will do whatever it takes.
[Riley heads to the bathroom and started to grab a few things to die her hair red, some
Sadness: Well I…
Anxiety: Awesome!
Riley: I hope it's okay. I know I’m not officially a Fire Hawk yet, but I figured since we’re on the
Val: Yeah, yeah, that's fine. Did you um, sleep last night?
Val: Hey, I told you not to freak her out. You’re all good, okay. I see you in your zone. Get ready
Anxiety: Val scored two goals in the scrimmage to become a Fire Hawk. You know what’s better
Envy: Three. I was just about to say that. We were about to say that at the same time.
Anxiety: The new Riley will handle anything. And I think this is the finishing touch. I’ll be right
back.
Joy: Come on. We’re so close. The sense of self is just on top of that mount…
Disgust: Oh, when she walked into that glass door at that party.
Joy: Yeah, and breaking grandma’s favorite plate. Thank goodness these aren’t part of her.
[Anxiety makes it to the bottom and placed the memory into the water.]
[She dig through the memories and pull out the sense of self but it was dull in is glowing light.]
Joy: Oh no.
[This shocked Anxiety as Riley stopped in her tracks, her belief echoing through her head.]
Anxiety: What?
[The sound of the negative belief caught Joy and the others' attention.]
Anxiety: Uh, don't worry. It’s just that she knows that there’s always room for self improvement.
She’ll be fine.
Joy: Sadness, we have the sense of self. Bring us back. Sadness, do you copy?
[Sadness nods; Embarrassment is on guard.]
[Embarrassment hears and glances up at Sadness; he lets her down. Sadness checks and sees
Anxiety: Okay, I can handle this. I just need to recalibrate the console and make sure it's ready.
[Sadness slowly begins to approach the console; Embarrassment uses a hook to bring down the
back-of-mind memory launcher. Sadness approaches the console, but before she could react...]
[Anxity hears and gasps as Sadness, who glares at Anxiety, activates the recall tube.]
Anxiety: AAAHHH!
[Terrified, Anxiety destroys the launcher, breaking the tube along with it.]
Anger: Joy?!
Fear: Oh no.
[They scatter in all directions as the broken pipes landed on the bad memories. Joy stood up and
and picked them up. She reminded the memory as the scene played out. She picked out another
memory.]
[She lowered her head before she picked up the dull sense of self.]
Joy: I don’t know. I don’t know how to stop Anxiety. Maybe we can’t. Maybe this is what happens
when you grow up, you feel less joy. But I do know this. Riley will never be herself if we don’t get
Disgust: How?
Anger: Oh, Pouchy! Well, what are you waiting for? Say the words.
Anger: We know!
Joy: Pouchy, we need to get back to headquarters. Do you have anything that can help us?
Pouchy: I have lots of items. Which one do you think will work the best? A roll of tape? A rubber
ducky-
Anger: No time!
Disgust: Seriously, Pouchy? Dynamite? Don’t you have like a-a jetpack? A plane or something
Pouchy: What do you think I have? Everything in here? I offered you the rubber ducky! I offered
you the-
Joy: I know what to do. But we’re gonna need a lot more dynamite.
Anxiety: Come on, Riley, get the puck! Take it, take it!
Dani: Michigan, what are you doing? We’re on the same team!
Riley: Yes!
Anxiety: Well, they might be a little mad at us, but they'll all forgive us when we make the team.
Disgust: Uh, hold on, Joy, we’re gonna blow up this cliff?
Joy: Yep.
Disgust: And then we’ll ride an avalanche of bad memories back to headquarters?
Joy: Yeah.
Disgust: And how do we keep the bad memories from forming bad beliefs?
Joy: Ready?
Anxiety: NO!
Anxiety: Oh no. What did I do? No no. I can’t fix it. I can fix it.
[Meanwhile, Joy and the others had managed to arrive back at the bottom of headquarters. All of
Anxiety: You have to score, Riley! Or this will all be for nothing!
(But Anxiety didn't hear her. The faster she went, the more the frenzied she become as her body
started to form into a orange tornado, pushing Envy to Sadness before Embrassement catches
them. He looked at Anxiety before looking at the orange Sense of Self, deciding to take action as
he and the other emotions tried to pull it out. Joy and the others arrived from the elevator with the
Joy: Sadness!
(Joy gives the old sense of self to Sadness and trudge into the orange twister.)
(She tried to get grab her but Anxiety is just too fast.)
(The orange emotion did not hear her, only a single tear dripping down in her eye.)
pulls her out of the orange twister and then joined the other emotions. They finally ripped the
negative sense of self off and Joy puts the old sense of self back, but it doesn't work.)
Anxiety: [guilt ridden in tears] Joy. I’m sorry. I was just trying to protect her. But you’re right. We
(Joy then realizes that what she was doing before is almost like what Anxiety tried to do.)
(Joy then notices a new sense of self being created, but is blocked by the old one.)
[Riley still pants; the beam of light emerges from the pedestal, revealing a new sense of self that
Riley's New Sense of Self: I’m selfish. I-I’m kind. I’m not good enough! I’m a good person. I
need to fit in. But I want to be myself! I'm brave. But I get scared.
(More beliefs overlap one another. Joy hugs the sense of self and the other emotions hug with
her, calming Riley down as the tornado at the console dissipates. Riley is let out of the penalty
box.)
to a different school, I freaked out and I’m so sorry. If you don’t wanna be friends anymore, I get
(After a moment, Bree and Grace put out their fists together and Riley does the same. Then they
hug.)
(Riley looks out the window and sees the sun. Suddenly, the sparkles from Joy goes toward the
console.)
(Sometime after Hockey Camp, Riley, Val, and the Fire Hawks are attending Bay View High
Val: Hey, Minnesota. How long are you gonna stare at your phone?
Riley: It’s almost two. Coach is gonna post the list any minute.
Anxiety: Six minutes. And what happens if we don’t become a Fire Hawk? Well, thanks for
asking, Joy. I’ll tell you. First, Mom and Dad are very disappointed. We don’t go pro and we find
work as an enthromusic psychologist, even though we don’t really know what that is. We have no
Anxiety: No?
[Anxiety sits in an armchair near the shelves; it begins to vibrate like a massage chair.]
Joy: We can’t control whether Riley makes the team. But what we can control?
Anxiety: Well um, Oh! Riley has a Spanish test tomorrow. We need to study.
Anxiety: Olvidamos!
Anxiety: Forgot.
● Sadness: ???.
● Ennui: ???.
Fear: Good idea- (Pouchy shoots confetti at him from his mouth) Aah!
(Bree and Grace are on the other line calling from their school.)
[Nostalgia reappears.]
Embarrassment: And she’s got us! Yeah, right? Cause she's like ???.
Val: If you don’t make it this year, these always next year.
Riley: I know.
(Flashback of Riley doing many things over the years with her family and friends.)
JOY: Sometimes, she can be too hard on herself, but every bit of Riley makes her who she is.
And we love all of our girl. Every messy, beautiful piece of her.
[Riley gets a text on her phone. Checks it. She smiles. Cut to black. As the credits roll, we see
(Cut to Riley…)
RILEY: Uh…
(She eats her food. Zoom into her mother’s mind to show her emotions.)
JILL’S ANGER: She goes away for three days and all we get is, “good?”
JILL’S ANXIETY: And what about the red in her hair? Did she join a gang?
WILL’S ANXIETY: She goes away for three days and all we get is, “good?”
WILL’S ANGER: Yeah. Sounds right. (the other emotions agree) Back to the game.
SPORTS ANNOUNCER: (offscreen) With a nice pass over to Reeves comes across center ice.
[Fade to black. After the credits, Joy opens the vault door.]
JOY: Really? That’s it? Whoo! I thought you were gonna say the time we peed in the pool.
