[Anxiety and the other new emotions sent the original emotions to the Vault inside a jar.]
WE ARE SUPPRESSED EMOTIONS! RUN!!!
[The emotions (except Joy) start losing it.]
Stay calm! Riley's going to be fine. Totally fine. No need to run.
B 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!
From that preschool show Riley used to like?
B 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! ♪
Bloofy, we're in a real pickle! Could you help us get out of here?
B Bloofy
[to the audience]
Uh, oh! We're gonna need your help! Can you find a way out?
[annoyed]
WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?
B 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.
LS 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.
[uninterestedly]
I never saw the appeal.
LS Lance Slashblade
I long to be a hero, but darkness haunts my past.
[During the end credits at the Andersen house; the Andersens are eating dinner at the table]
So, Riley, how was camp?
[Zoom into Riley's mind]
Okay, we talked about this. We tell them everything.
But what about sneaking into Coach's office?
What about hitting Grace?
Are we gonna tell her about the Fire Hawks?
She doesn't need to know.
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.
[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.
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!
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!
[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.
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.]
V 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?
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]
[confused]
Orange? Who made the console orange?
[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?
I can either take notes, get coffee, manage your calendar, walk your dog, carry your things, watch you sleep.
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.
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...
I'm Envy. [gazes at Disgust's hair] Oh, look at your hair.
[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]
V 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.
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]
V 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.
[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".
Well, come on up here, En-wur. Am I saying it right? En-wah. No. Oh! Nicknames! I'm gonna call you Oui-Oui.
Console app. [shows the app on her phone, demonstrating how it works]
Hey! Stop it! That's enough.
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.
V Val
All right, grab your stuff and follow me.
