Joy: [as Riley goes to the penalty box, two minutes for tripping; voice-over] Okay, looks like we have a couple of minutes while Riley takes a breather. Let me catch you up. Riley is still exceptional. And not just because she's the top of her class, which by the way, she is. She's also really kind, and she's nice to stray cats, I mean, come on! Oh, and she's officially a teenager now. She got very tall, very fast.
Anger: [off-screen] Did we grow overnight?!
Sadness: [off-screen] Oh. That was our favorite shirt.
Joy: [voice-over] We even got braces with extra rubber bands!
Dentist: How does it feel?
Riley: Great! [one of the extra rubber bands snaps off from her braces and hits the dentist's face]
Dentist: Ow.
Riley: Sorry.
Joy: Riley's personality islands are still going strong.
Disgust: Glad to see Boy Band Island finally broke up.
Fear: But Goofball is still monkeying around! [laughs]
Sadness: Wait, where's Family Island?
Joy: It's right there. [gives Sadness binoculars]
Sadness: [sees Family Island through the binoculars, revealing to be smaller than the other islands] Oh, there it is. But what's that blocking it?
Joy: Oh, that's Friendship Island. Isn't it amazing? [voice-over] But we realized her islands aren't the only things made by memories. Way down, at the root level, these memories were also creating beliefs.

Sadness: Joy, are you taking that where I think you're taking that?
Joy: Wanna come this time?
Sadness: Yes. I-I mean, no. Oh, no. I-I-I really shouldn't.
Joy: You know, you’re the only one who hasn't been to the Belief System.
Sadness: Yeah, it’s just that it's new, and I know how important it is, and I don't wanna mess it up, break it, burn it to the ground or anything.
Joy: Sadness, you won't hurt it, I promise. Have I ever steered you wrong before?
Sadness: Yeah. Many times.
Joy: Wanna come this time?
Sadness: Yes. I-I mean, no. Oh, no. I-I-I really shouldn't.
Joy: You know, you’re the only one who hasn't been to the Belief System.
Sadness: Yeah, it’s just that it's new, and I know how important it is, and I don't wanna mess it up, break it, burn it to the ground or anything.

Sadness: Yeah. Many times.

Jill: [enters Riley's room as Riley wakes up] Riley, you aren't packed yet?
Riley: [as Anger presses a button on the console, Riley is frustrated] You're always on me! Can't you just lay off for like one second?!
Disgust: Uh, overreact much?
Anger: I barely touched it. Those morons broke the console!!!
Jill: Riley, what's wrong?
Sadness: Oh. Mom looks sad. [presses a button on the console, making Riley feel more emotional]
Riley: I'm the WORST! [cries]
Jill: Oh, no. Honey...
Sadness: I barely touched it.
Anger: That's what I said. [Riley then sniffs her armpits]
Disgust: Let the professional handle this. [cracks her knuckles and presses a button on the console, making Riley overreact]
Riley: [???] I'm too gross to go to camp, OR ANYWHERE EVER *AGAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNN!* [?]
Disgust: Oh, yeah, this is totally broken. [Zoom into Jill's mind and her emotions.]
Jill's Anger: Well, we all knew this day would come.
Jill's Sadness: Remember, we agreed not to make a big deal about this.
Jill's Disgust: But she really does stink.
Jill's Anger: Oh, it's bad.
Jill's Sadness: Remain calm. Stick to the prepared script. [presses a button on the console, making Jill try to console Riley]
Jill: [sits down on Riley's bed] You are not gross, honey. You're just changing. Remember that beautiful butterfly we saw in the park last week? [inside Riley's mind, the emotions are using an extended arm to reach the console] Well, that butterfly began as a caterpillar. And just like that caterpillar, you're about to get your wings. But if you have questions...
Joy: Easy... [The hand touches a button on the console, making Riley overreact more.]
Riley: [irritated] Oh, my gosh, Mom! Just go away! [gets up from her bed and leaves] UGH!
Jill's Anger: Well, that's a preview of the next ten years.
Riley: [as Anger presses a button on the console, Riley is frustrated] You're always on me! Can't you just lay off for like one second?!

Disgust: [notices Bree with a worried smile on her face] Wait, what was that?
Joy: What was what?
Disgust: We got a look. I don't like this.
Joy: What? You're paranoid.
Disgust: I never miss a look. [brings up a panel and begins typing; a system begins examining Bree and the screen zooms in on her pushed eyebrows] Enhance 224, 176. Track right, zoom in, right... there!
Anger: So?
Disgust: She's hiding something. But what? [Riley is suspicious; zoom into Bree's mind and emotions.]
Bree's Sadness: What is she doing?
Bree's Anger: She's looking at our look!
Bree's Disgust: No, it's much more than that. [brings up the same panel and types, comparing Riley's suspicious expression with the same system]
Bree's Joy: She looks the same to me.
Bree's Disgust: Overlay and compare. See? Riley then, Riley now. Riley then, Riley now.
Bree's Anger: It's so obvious.
Bree's Sadness: But what does it mean?
Bree's Disgust: [realizes] She knows we're hiding something. [Zoom into Grace's mind and emotions.]
Grace's Disgust: What is happening right now?!
Grace's Fear: I don't know! I DON'T KNOW!
Grace's Anger: I can't take it anymore!
[Grace's Fear accidentally activates the console, making Grace reveal the bad news.]
Grace's Disgust: You spilled the tea!
Grace: [blurting out] Coach Roberts isn't gonna be our coach next year! [shockingly covers her mouth and whimpers]
Bree: [nudges Grace] Grace! We... [sighs] We got assigned to a different high school.
Disgust: Ah-ha! (What?) Oh... Oh, no.
Riley: [hesitantly] Oh... Okay. Um... Yeah. No big deal.
Fear: This is a HUGE deal!
Anger: Our life is over!
Disgust: Is she serious right now? How long have they known us?
Anger: We can't go to high school without Bree and Grace?
Sadness: We won't know anybody.
Bree: We'll still get to hang out.
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?
Riley: Yeah. Of course.
Joy: What was what?
Disgust: We got a look. I don't like this.
Joy: What? You're paranoid.

[Just as Riley arrives at hockey camp, she comes face-to-face with Valentino Ortiz.]
Val: You're the one Coach told us about. Riley, from... Michigan, right?
Anger: It's Minnesota, sweetie!
Disgust: No, no, no, no! We cannot correct Val Ortiz. [The console suddenly turns orange, with Riley speaking in an anxious manner.]
Riley: Yep, that's me. Riley from good ol' Michigan. [chuckles nervously]
Joy: [confused] Orange? Who made the console orange?
Anger: Do I look orange?
Fear: I didn't touch it.
Disgust: Orange is not my color.
Sadness: Not me.
[As they back away, they see what appears to be a new orange emotion with upturn frizzy hair, and wearing a striped-orange and white sweater and brown pants.]
Anxiety: Hello, everybody! [the emotions scream in surprise as Joy protects them] Oh, my gosh. I am just such a huge fan of yours! And now, here I am, meeting you, face to face. [squeals] Okay. How can I help?
Joy: Uh...
Anxiety: I can either take notes, get coffee, manage your calendar, walk your dog, carry your things, watch you sleep.
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.
Joy: Okay, love that and what was your name again?
Anxiety: Oh! I'm sorry. I got ahead of myself. Uh, I'm Anxiety. Uh, I'm one of Riley's new emotions and we are just super jazzed to be here. [carries three suitcases on each arm] Where can I put my stuff?
Disgust: Ah-ah-ah. What do you mean "we"?
[A little cyan emotion with sparkly eyes then appears as she climbs up on the console.]
Envy: [sighs] I wish I was as tall as all of you...
Anger: Who the heck are you?
Envy: I'm Envy. [gazes at Disgust's hair] Oh, look at your hair.
Disgust: Oh, yeah. Not happening.
Envy: [looks at Val; gasps] Look at her hair! We need hair like that. [presses a button on the console]
Riley: Oh, my gosh. I love the red in your hair. [slowly reaches out her hand to touch Val's red streak]
Val: [nervously] Oh. Uh...
Disgust: [gasps] What are you doing!? [panicky grabs Envy and pulls her away from the console]
Riley: Hey, maybe when I make the team, I can join Team Redhead, too! Yeah, yeah!
[A big pink emotion, wearing a gray hoodie, presses his hand on the console, making her blush in shock as he whimpers.]
Anger: Okay, who's this guy?
Sadness: What's your name, big fella?
Anxiety: That's Embarrassment. He's not really big on eye contact or like good talking, but he's a really sweet guy.
Joy: Well, welcome to Headquarters, Embarrassment. Oh. We're doing a fist? No? Going high. [high-fives him] You got a real sweaty palm there, buddy. [Embarrassment whimpers and kneels on the floor]
Val: Hey. You want to 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. [The console then turns indigo]
Riley: [nonchalantly] Yep. Sounds good.
Anger: What emotion was that?
Anxiety: That's Ennui.
Joy: En-what?
[Pan over to Ennui, an indigo emotion wearing a tracksuit and socks, lounging on the couch while addicting to her phone]
Ennui: [groans] Ennui. It's what you would call "the boredom".
Joy: Well, come on up here, En-wur. Am I saying it right? En-wah. No. Oh! Nicknames! I'm gonna call you Oui-Oui.
Ennui: [uncaringly] Non.
Fear: How are you driving?
Ennui: Console app. [shows the app on her phone, demonstrating how it works]
Anger: Hey! Stop it! That's enough.
Joy: Now, now, I know new emotions can sometimes feel unhelpful at first, and you just want to... [squeezes Sadness] say to them, "Why are you so annoying?". But I've learned that every emotion is good for Riley. [tussles Sadness' hair] Even this turkey.
Anger: [reluctantly] Okay, fine.
[Ennui uses her console app, making Riley act wearily.]
Riley: Cool. Lead the way.
Val: All right, grab your stuff and follow me.
Val: You're the one Coach told us about. Riley, from... Michigan, right?
Anger: It's Minnesota, sweetie!

[Anxiety and the other new emotions sent the original emotions to the Vault inside a jar.]
Fear: WE ARE SUPPRESSED EMOTIONS! RUN!!!
[The emotions (except Joy) start losing it.]
Joy: Stay calm! Riley's going to be fine. Totally fine. No need to run.
Bloofy: Hey, there. You know what we call that? "Denial". Can you say "denial"? [Fear's flashlight points to a 2D preschool show character; the emotions scream] Hi, friends! [talking to "the audience"; breaking the fourth wall] Welcome! It's so good to have you here with us today!
Joy: [laughs] It's Bloofy!
Disgust: From that preschool show Riley used to like?
Bloofy: That's right, and here's a little secret. [presses his nose against the jar, making Fear nervous] Riley still likes the show. [walks away from the jar and turns to the audience to sing his song with Joy dancing along in the background; singing] ♪ Stomp like an elephant, scurry like a mouse, make your way down to Bloofy's House! ♪
Anger: Please kill me...
Joy: Bloofy, we're in a real pickle! Could you help us get out of here?
Bloofy: [to the audience] Uh, oh! We're gonna need your help! Can you find a way out?
Anger: [annoyed] WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?
Bloofy: [to the emotions] My friends! [to his shadow and the wall, where the audience would be] Do you see a key? [silence] Hmmm... I don't either.
Fear: Okay, we're doomed.
Lance Slashblade: Indeed. Welcome to your eternal fate.
Disgust: [gasps] Lance Slashblade?
Sadness: But he's a video game character. Why is he here?
Disgust: Yeah, I always thought Riley had a secret crush on him.
Joy: [uninterestedly] I never saw the appeal.
Lance Slashblade: I long to be a hero, but darkness haunts my past.

Anxiety: I love our girl.
Joy: How could you not? She's super smart.
Sadness: And great at hockey.
Disgust: She's really creative.
Ennui: She can be bored, but never boring.
Joy: But she can be a little sarcastic from time to time.
Fear: She can have really bad ideas.
Anger: Occasionally, she can do the wrong things.
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.
