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.

[off-screen]

Did we grow overnight?!

[off-screen]

Oh. That was our favorite shirt.

Joy
[voice-over]

We even got braces with extra rubber bands!

Dentist

How does it feel?

Great! [one of the extra rubber bands snaps off from her braces and hits the dentist's face]

Dentist

Ow.

Sorry.

Joy

Riley's personality islands are still going strong.

Glad to see Boy Band Island finally broke up.

Fear

But Goofball is still monkeying around! [laughs]

Wait, where's Family Island?

Joy

It's right there. [gives Sadness binoculars]

[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.

[to Riley, Grace, and Bree]

Hey, girls. Congratulations on your win!

Joy
[gasps]

That's the high school coach! [she and Disgust exclaim excitedly]

What a game! That last play? Whoo! The three of you were impressive!

Thanks, Coach Roberts.

Look, its last minute, but every year, I do a three-day skills camp. I invite all the best players in the area. I'd love for you girls to come.

Fear

Are we in a dream right now? Please, can somebody pinch me? [Anger punches him in the arm] Definitely awake.

Joy

If we impress Coach, she'll put the three of us on the team next year.

Ooh, the Fire Hawks. Finally, a team I can get behind!

What do you say?

YES! Thank you, Coach! Thank you, thank you!

Bree and Grace
[in unison]

YES!

Great! We'll see you tomorrow. [Riley and her friends squeal in excitement; Later that evening, at Riley's house...]

Jill

What a big day!

Bill

Ha! You are such an all-star! Oh, you're going to knock the coach's skates off! Hockey scholarship, here we come!

[happily]

Dad, stop! It's just hockey camp. I mean who knows what'll happen. [inside her mind, the memory of her getting a two-minute penalty for tripping shows up; worried] My penalty almost lost us the game today. What if I get to camp and screw it up?

Bill

Hey, don't talk like that.

Jill

Yeah. You did great today, honey.

Joy

Exactly! Mom gets it. [removes the memory]

Yeah, I guess.

Jill

We are so proud of you.

[notices Bree with a worried smile on her face]

Wait, what was that?

Joy

What was what?

We got a look. I don't like this.

Joy

What? You're paranoid.

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!

So?

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!

[blurting out]

Coach Roberts isn't gonna be our coach next year! [shockingly covers her mouth and whimpers]

[nudges Grace]

Grace! We... [sighs] We got assigned to a different high school.

Ah-ha! (What?) Oh... Oh, no.

[hesitantly]

Oh... Okay. Um... Yeah. No big deal.

Fear

This is a HUGE deal!

Our life is over!

Is she serious right now? How long have they known us?

We can't go to high school without Bree and Grace?

We won't know anybody.

We'll still get to hang out.

And we'll have this weekend, which means we'll get one last time playing on the same team.

Friends are forever, right?

Yeah. Of course.

Val
[Just as Riley arrives at hockey camp, she comes face-to-face with Valentino Ortiz.]

You're the one Coach told us about. Riley, from... Michigan, right?

It's Minnesota, sweetie!

No, no, no, no! We cannot correct Val Ortiz. [The console suddenly turns orange, with Riley speaking in an anxious manner.]

Yep, that's me. Riley from good ol' Michigan. [chuckles nervously]

Joy
[confused]

Orange? Who made the console orange?

Do I look orange?

Fear

I didn't touch it.

Orange is not my color.

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.]

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...

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.

Anything. Just call my name and I'm here for you.

Joy

Okay, love that and what was your name again?

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?

Ah-ah-ah. What do you mean "we"?

[A little cyan emotion with sparkly eyes then appears as she climbs up on the console.] [sighs]

I wish I was as tall as all of you...

Who the heck are you?

I'm Envy. [gazes at Disgust's hair] Oh, look at your hair.

Oh, yeah. Not happening.

[looks at Val; gasps]

Look at her hair! We need hair like that. [presses a button on the console]

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...

[gasps]

What are you doing!? [panicky grabs Envy and pulls her away from the console]

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.]

Okay, who's this guy?

What's your name, big fella?

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.

Oh, this is exciting. But we can't let her know we're excited. [The console then turns indigo]

[nonchalantly]

Yep. Sounds good.

What emotion was that?

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] [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.

[uncaringly]

Non.

Fear

How are you driving?

Console app. [shows the app on her phone, demonstrating how it works]

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.

[reluctantly]

Okay, fine.

[Ennui uses her console app, making Riley act wearily.]

Cool. Lead the way.

Val

All right, grab your stuff and follow me.

Fear
[Anxiety and the other new emotions sent the original emotions to the Vault inside a jar.]

WE ARE SUPPRESSED EMOTIONS! RUN!!!

Joy
[The emotions (except Joy) start losing it.]

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!

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! ♪

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?

[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.

[gasps]

Lance Slashblade?

But he's a video game character. Why is he here?

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.

Joy
[Joy is trying to get a vehicle to work, whilst Fear, Anger, and Disgust talk amongst themselves about Riley's current state and Joy's plan.]

Okay, well, this isn’t working. And that's fine. Everything’s fine.

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!

Ever since that puberty alarm went off, nothing around here works the way it's supposed to!

I don't even recognize this place anymore. It's light out at 1:00 in the morning!

Fear

I have never been inside so many jars in my life.

And the Riley we knew is gone!

And if Joy can't see that, well, then she's delusional!

Joy
[turns around and stares at them]

Delusional? [snaps] 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-loving toaster strudel! [smacks the controls of the vehicle, whilst Fear cowers and Anger smiles] Do you think I have all the answers? Of course I don't! [sighs heavily] We can't even find the back of her own mind. [cowers in front of the control panel] Anxiety is right! Riley doesn't need us as much as she needs them. [starting to break down into tears] And that hurts... it really hurts.

[The other emotions look at each other in guilt, and Anger walks up to Joy]

Joy, you've made a lot of mistakes. A-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.

Fear

Well, actually, that does sound kind of nice. [Disgust slaps him] Ow!

[offers Joy his hand]

Come on.
[Anger helps Joy up to her feet, and the emotions continue their journey.]

Joy

Come on, we just need to cut through… [gasps] Imagination Land! Oh, you guys are going to love it! There's French Fry Forest, Cloud Town and… [notices some changes around] Whoa. This place has changed. Mount Crushmore?

Fear

Those are her top four?

[sighs dreamily]

The only one that matters is Lance.

Joy

Well, at least they got his good side.

Every side is his good side.

Fear
[The emotions make it to the back of the mind and see a huge mountain of bad memories.]

That is a lot.

Joy

This is more than I remember sending back here.

[picks up a memory of Riley bumping her head into a glass door]

Oh, when she walked into that glass door at that party. Oof!

Joy

Yeah, and breaking Grandma's favorite plate. Thank goodness these aren't part of her.

I love our girl.

Joy

How could you not? She's super smart.

And great at hockey.

She's really creative.

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.

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.

Jill
[During the end credits at the Andersen house; the Andersens are eating dinner at the table]

So, Riley, how was camp?

Joy
[Zoom into Riley's mind]

Okay, we talked about this. We tell them everything.

Uh...

But what about sneaking into Coach's office?

What about hitting Grace?

Remember the lying?

Are we gonna tell her about the Fire Hawks?

She doesn't need to know.

Fear

Objection!

Pardon. Excusez moi. [presses a button on the console app on her phone]

[nonchalantly]

It was good. [eats her food]
[Jill makes a "Please tell me you're joking" look before zooming into her mind and her emotions.] Jill's Anger: She goes away for three days and all we get is, "good"?
Jill's Anxiety: [appears from the curtains] And what about the red in her hair?! Did she join a gang?
Jill's Sadness: [gives her tea to chill] Welcome back, Anxiety.
[Zoom into Bill's mind and his emotions.] Bill's Anxiety: [pops up] She goes away for three days and all we get is, "good"?!
Bill's Anger: Yeah. Sounds right. Back to the game.
