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.
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.
