Scenes with Fear
10 scenes[Little Riley is seated at the table with her parents. Her dad is about to give her broccoli]
Here we go, all right, open.
Hm, this looks new.
Fear Think it's safe?
What is it?
Aah... [inches the broccoli towards Riley]
[enters the screen]
Okay, caution! There is a dangerous smell, people... [notices the broccoli] Hold on, what is that?
Joy [narrating]: This is Disgust. She basically keeps Riley from being poisoned, physically and socially.
That is not brightly colored or shaped like a dinosaur. Hold on, guys... It's BROCCOLI! [gags and presses a button]
Yucky! [flips the bowl of broccoli, getting some on her dad's face, and adding a disgusting memory]
[proudly]
Well, I just saved our lives. [the other three sigh in relief] Yeah, you're welcome.
Riley, if you don't eat your dinner, you're not going to get any dessert.
[looks up from his newspaper titled "The Mind Reader", the headlines saying "NO DESSERT!"]
Wait, did he just say we couldn't have dessert? [puts the paper down and begins stomping towards the console]
Joy [narrating]: That's Anger. He... cares very deeply about things being fair.
So that's how you want to play it, old man?! No dessert?! [the top of his head begins to glow with embers] Oh sure, we'll eat our dinner, right after YOU EAT THIS! [pushes a couple levers and screams while his head erupts like Hades from Hercules, making Little Riley scream and throw a tantrum and adding an angry memory]
Riley, Riley! Here comes an airplane! [imitates airplane, bringing the broccoli closer to her as she calms down]
AAAAH...! [instantly calms down] Oh, airplane. We've got an airplane, everybody.
Emotions Oooooohh... [They all gather around and watch the "airplane", and Riley happily eats it, adding a happy memory]
And you met Sadness. She... Well she...
[Riley and her parents are playing in their new house when Riley's Dad's cellphone suddenly rings]
Ah, sorry. Hold on. [puts down Riley and Jill and answers his cellphone] Hello?
You're kidding. Ah, stall for me. I'll be right there. The investors were suppose to show up on Thursday, not today! [to Jill] I gotta go.
It's okay. We get it.
You're the best. Thanks, hon. [briefly kisses her and waves good-bye to Riley] See you, sweetie. [walks out the door, leaving Riley visibly upset]
Fear Dad just... left us.
Oh, he doesn't love us anymore. That's sad. I-I should drive, right? [reaches to touch the console, but Joy suddenly stops her with her arm; the other emotions (including Sadness) look at her in shock, much to Fear's own] Joy, what are you doing?
[nervously]
Uh, just give me one second. You know what I realized? [grabs a recent happy memory and puts it on the projector] Riley hasn't had lunch! Remember? [The memory of Riley seeing a pizza parlor earlier plays in her mind]
Pizza sounds delicious!
Fear Pizza!
Yes, pizza!
Fear [Riley and Jill go to the pizza parlor and Jill holds out her credit card to the cashier - only to find that they're only serving broccoli-topped pizza]
What the heck is that!
Who puts broccoli on pizza!
That's it. I'm done. [walks off, leaving Joy, Sadness, Anger and Fear]
[Sarcastically]
Congratulations, San Francisco! You've ruined pizza! First the Hawaiians, and now you!
What kind of a pizza place only serves one kind of pizza. Must be a San Francisco thing, huh? Still, it’d not bad as that soup. At that diner in Nebraska.
Oh, yeah. The spoon stood up in the soup by itself.
Hello! Did I wake you?
Do you have to play that?
Well, I have to practice. And I don’t think of it as playing so much as hugging. Okay! First day of school! Very, very exciting! I was up late last night figuring out a new plan. Here it is! Fear! [Fear gasps] I need a list of all the possible negative outcomes on the first day at a new school.
Fear Way ahead of you there. [to the other emotions] Does anyone know how to spell 'meteor'?
Disgust, make sure Riley stands out today. But also blends in.
[confidently]
When I'm through, Riley will look so good, the other kids will look at their own outfits and barf.
[talking to herself]
Joy. "Yes, Joy?" You'll be in charge of the console, keeping Riley happy all day long. And may I add I love your dress. It's adorable... "Oh, this old thing? Thank you so much. I love the way it twirls." [Joy runs up to the window and waves at the Train of Thought as it passes through, in normal voice again] Train of Thought! Right on schedule! Anger, unload the daydreams. I ordered extra in case things get slow in class.
Might come in handy, if this new school is full of boring, useless classes. Which it probably will be.
Oh, Sadness! I have a super important job just for you.
Mmm-hmm. Follow me. [leads Sadness to the Mind Manual shelf and starts to draw a circle around her feet]
What are you doing?
[finishes up]
And... there! Perfect! This is the Circle of Sadness. Your job is to make sure that all the sadness stays inside of it.
So...you want me to just stand here?
Hey, it's not my place to tell you how you do your job. [Closeup of Sadness's feet. Joy pushes Sadness's leg inside of the circle] Just make sure that all the sadness stays in the circle. See? You're pro with this. Isn't this fun?
No.
That-a-girl! All right, everyone, fresh start.
[Joy and Sadness meet the Memory Workers, who are in charge of dumping out memory orbs that are faded into the Memory Dump.]
Hey! Bring those back!
Worker Paula
They're in the dump. Nothing comes back from the dump.
Worker Bobby
Yeah. Look, lady, this is our job, okay?
Worker Paula
When Riley doesn't care about a memory, it fades.
Fades?
Worker Paula
Happens to the best of them.
Worker Bobby
[grabs a happy memory]
Yeah, except for this bad boy. This one will never fade. [the aforementioned memory contains the annoying TripleDent Gum jingle]
TripleDent Gum will make you smile...
Worker Bobby
You know, sometimes we send that one up to Headquarters for no reason!
Worker Paula
It just plays in Riley's head over and over again, like a million times! [Joy is visibly annoyed at this]
Worker Bobby
Let's watch it again! [he rewinds the memory, and the Memory Workers sing along to the jingle] TripleDent Gum will make you smile...
Yeah, I know. We all know the song. OK, yeah, real catchy, OK.
Worker Bobby
Hey, what do you think? Should we do it?
Worker Paula
Yeah!
Worker Bobby
[he shoves the memory orb into the shelf and shoots it up a pipe to Headquarters.]
Okay, here we go!
[Fear is drinking coffee, Disgust is doing her nails and Anger is reading a newspaper with the headline reading "GOLDEN STATE BLUE MOOD" in HQ. The jingle pops up.]
TripleDent Gum will make you smile...
[to the workers, who are walking away singing]
Wait! Do you know how to get to Friendship Island?!
Meg
You like it there. Do you feel any Earthquake. It’s the bridges cool.
Yeah, it’s good. What happened with the playoff.
Meg
We’re on the first game. Coach says we might actually go to the finals this year. Oh, and we’ve got this new girl on the team. She’s so cool.
Uh, she did not just say that.
Fear A new girl?! Meg has a new friend already?
Meg
We can pass the puck to each other without even looking. It’s like mind reading.
You like to read minds, Meg?! I’ve got something for you to read, right here! [grabbing the controls]
No, no, no. What are you doing?
Fear Wait, wait, wait! Let’s just be calm for one second…!
Meg
[Anger grabs Fear by the nose and then throws him out of the console, then pulls the levers on the console as his head catches fire while screaming angrily]
I heard they have parrots living in-
I gotta go.
Meg
What?
Okay, could you please just please tell me which way is... Oh, no! Friendship Island! What! Oh, not Friendship.
Oh, Riley loved that one. And now it’s gone.
On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this day an "F".
[throws down a copy of "The Mind Reader" with the headline, "Riley Quits Hockey!"]
Well, why don't we quit standing around and do something? [kicks a chair]
Like what, genius?
Fear [walking towards the recall tube with a suitcase]
Like quitting! That’s what I’m doing. Sure, it’s the coward’s way out, but this coward’s gonna survive! [the tube closes around him, but he clogs it up and the massive amount of memory orbs force it open and he lands back down on the floor]
Emotions can’t quit, genius! [Fear has accidentally swallowed a disgusting memory and spits it up, making Disgust recoil] Ugh! I thought we were supposed to be keeping Riley happy!
Wait a minute! Wait a minute! [runs over to the idea shelves] Ah-ha! [he grabs a bulb, and laughs]
Fear What is it?
Oh, nothing. Just the best idea ever.
What?
All the good Core Memories were made in Minnesota. Ergo, we go back to Minnesota and make more. Ta-da!
Fear Wait, wait, wait. You’re saying we... run away?
Well, I wouldn’t call it that. I’d call it the “Happy Core Memory Development Program”.
Fear You can’t be serious!
Hey! Our life was perfect, until Mom and Dad decided to move us to San Fran-Stink-Town!
Fear But-but-but I mean, it’s just so drastic!
Need I remind you how great things were there? Our room, our backyard, our friends. [recalls a happy memory, but instead it plays the annoying gum commercial]
TripleDent Gum will make you smile...
'Anger: DID I ASK FOR THE GUM COMMERCIAL?![shuts off the jingle] Anyway, it was better, that’s my point.
Yeah. Riley was happier in Minnesota.
Fear Wait, hold on. Shouldn’t we sleep on this or something?
Fine, let’s sleep on it. Because hey, I’m sure jolly, fun-filled times are just around the corner!
[walking into Headquarters, sleepy along with Anger thanks to Riley waking up from a nightmare]
What is going on?
He did it again!
Fear [curled up in a fetal position under the control panel]
We were at school, and we were naked, and there was a dog, and his back half was chasing him, and then we saw Bing Bong...!
You idiot! It was a dream! This is ridiculous! [stomps toward the idea shelves] We can't even get a good night's sleep anymore. [picks up the idea bulb that he had planned to use] Time to take action. Stupid mom and dad. If they hadn't moved us, none of this would've happened. Who's with me? [glances over to Fear]
Fear [stammers a bit]
No, no, no, no, no.
[Anger installs the bulb, which lights up. Riley's eyes light up as well with the idea, then she picks up her laptop. The bulb sinks all the way into the console.]
She took it. There's no turning back.
So how are we going to get to Minnesota from here?
Fear Hey, that sounds (kinda) nice.
WE'RE TAKING THE BUS, NITWIT! [Fear winces and dives behind Disgust; Riley is now on a city bus website on her laptop] There's a bus leaving tomorrow. Perfect!
A ticket costs money. How do we get money?
Mom's purse.
[smugly]
Oh, but I would. Where was it we saw it last? [recalls a memory, only for the umpteenth time it plays the gum commercial...]
TripleDent Gum...
NO! [shuts off the jingle] It's downstairs somewhere. Mom and Dad got us into this mess. They can pay to get us out.
Joy!
Hang on!
Fear Oh, I wish Joy was here!
Stand back! [he tries to smash the window open with a chair, but it bounces off]
Well, what would you do if you're so smart?!
WHAT!
Of course your tiny brain is confused! Guess I'll just have to dumb it down to your level! [The top of Anger's head starts to get brighter and hotter] Sorry I don't speak moron as well as you, but let me try! [makes a weird face] Duuuhhhh… [Anger screams as flames explode from his head and Disgust uses Anger's flames like a blowtorch to melt a hole in the window, allowing Joy and Sadness to get in Headquarters]
Fear Oh, thank goodness, you’re back!
Do you things really miss up.
We found this idea.
Fear We were just trying to make happy memories.
Sadness, It’s up to you.
Me.
Disgust, Fear, Anger
Sadness!?
I can’t, Joy.
Yes you can. Riley needs you.
Teacher
[During credits, School]
And who can tell me what year San Francisco was founded? Anyone? Jordan?
Jordan
[off-screen]
Uhh...
Teacher's Disgust
[Zooms into her head to her emotions looking bored; her anger bangs her head on the globe]
How much more of this?
Teacher's Sadness
Five months, two weeks and four days until summer vacation.
Teacher's Joy
Then it's off to the Bahamas with you know who! [presses a button bringing in the same memory of the helicopter pilot Riley's mother had]
Helicopter pilot
Come. Fly with me, gatinha.
Troy
[Yeast of Eden Pizza place] [to customer]
Have a nice day.
Troy's Disgust
[Zooms into her head to her emotions]
What are we made about?
Troy's Anger
I don't know. Whatever Troy's mad about.
Troy's Disgust
What's Troy mad about?
Troy's Anger
I don't know.
Cool Girl
[School yard]
I know. Totally.
Cool Girl's Fear
[Zooms into her head to her emotions]
We're a total fraud! Do you think they can see through us?
Cool Girl's Anger
Of course not! We're wearing eye shadow!
Cool Girl's Sadness
Being cool is so exhausting.
Jangles
[Birthday party in Minnesota] [holds up a balloon animal]
Who's the birthday girl? Huh? Hey! [Nobody responds] Hello?
Jangles' Joy
[Zooms into his head to his emotions]
Six years of drama school, for this?
[San Francisco street traffic, the bus driver focuses on the road while people in the background make lots of noises; Zooms into his head to his emotions; they all have the same personality as Anger]
You know what, this is okay. This is fine. We just need to go to our happy place.
[Bus Driver's Anger recalls a happy memory, but he gets instead the annoying TripleDent Gum commercial, making the Bus Driver's emotions more enraged]
DID I ASK FOR THE GUM COMMERCIAL?!
[Bus Driver's Anger looks at another emotion drinking soda, making him so angry that his head goes up in flames]
Jangles the Clown
Who's the birthday GIRL?!
Fear AAH!!
