Inside Out Page #11

INT. HEADQUARTERS

Out the window, Hockey Island lights up feebly.

FEAR:

Ha ha! We did it gang! It’s working-BOOM!

The Core Memory Holder ejects a memory, slamming Anger

in the face. Hockey Island shakes. Fear SHRIEKS.

INT. HOCKEY RINK

Riley struggles to dribble the puck.

HOCKEY COACH:

Line change! Line change! Change it

up! Change it up!

INT. HEADQUARTERS

Fear frantically loads memories into the Holder, which spits

them out like dodge balls. Disgust and Anger run for cover.

The Holder spins furiously, flinging Fear against the window.

Memories pelt him.

DISGUST:

(hiding behind a sofa)

It’s like we don't learn anything.

INT. HOCKEY RINK

HOCKEY COACH:

Let’s pick it up out there!

Riley attempts to slap the puck, misses, and TRIPS.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

ANGER:

That’s it!

INSIDE OUT 79.

FEAR:

No, no, no, breathe! Find your

happy place-

Anger grabs Fear by the neck and ricochets him off the

console, then furiously takes the controls.

INT. HOCKEY RINK

Riley angrily throws her stick to the ice and skates off.

The other players stop and watch.

INT. HOCKEY RINK - BLEACHERS - CONTINUOUS

Mom stands up, concerned.

Riley heads to the stands and removes her skates.

MOM:

Riley, what’s wrong?

RILEY:

Let’s go.

MOM:

You’re not going to finish tryouts?

RILEY:

What’s the point?

MOM:

Hey, it’ll be alright. Let’s just-

RILEY:

Stop saying everything will be

alright!

Riley stomps towards the exit. She looks back at the rink.

All the players cheer and high five.

Riley turns away from the rink and walks out.

INT. IMAGINATIONLAND, PRESCHOOL WORLD ENTRANCE

Boom! Joy turns around and watches Hockey Island crumble.

JOY:

Hockey? Oh no... no, she loves

hockey. She can’t give up hockey.

Joy pulls out the HOCKEY CORE MEMORY: Riley’s first goal.

INSIDE OUT 80.

INT. IMAGINATIONLAND, PRESCHOOL WORLD

JOY:

Bing Bong, we have to get to that

station.

BING BONG:

Sure thing. This way, just past

Graham Cracker Castle. Hey. That’s

weird. Graham Cracker Castle used

to be right here. I wonder why they

moved it?

He walks on, concerned, LEAVING HIS WAGON BEHIND HIM.

BING BONG (CONT’D)

Wow, that’s not... I would have

sworn Sparkle Pony Mountain was

right here. Hey, what’s going on?

JOY:

Yeah, yeah, I dunno, we’ll have to

come back-

BING BONG:

Princess Dream World!

A wrecking ball hits a pink castle. Glitter dust plumes.

BING BONG (CONT’D)

Oh no! The Stuffed Animal Hall of

Fame!

RIIIP! The head of a bear comes off. Too late, Bing Bong

notices some construction workers CARRYING AWAY HIS ROCKET.

BING BONG (CONT’D)

My rocket!

(running after them)

Wait! Riley and I, we’re still

using that rocket! It still has

some song power left!!

(sings)

Who's your friend who likes to

play?

THE ROCKET RESPONDS weakly, propelling it forward. The

workers toss it onto a junk pile. A bulldozer pushes the pile

towards the CLIFF EDGE.

BING BONG (CONT’D)

Nooo!!! No! No! No! You can’t take my

rocket to the dump! Riley and I are

going to the MOON! Ahhh!

INSIDE OUT 81.

Over it goes, into the darkness.

BING BONG (CONT’D)

Riley can’t be done with me.

Bing Bong sits, stunned. Joy approaches gingerly.

JOY:

Hey, it’s going to be okay. We can

fix this! We just need to get back

to Headquarters. Which way to the

train station?

BING BONG:

(still stunned)

I had a whole trip planned for us.

Joy tries another tactic.

JOY:

Hey, who’s ticklish, huh? Here

comes the tickle monster...

No response.

JOY (CONT’D)

Hey! Bing Bong, look at this!

Dohoioih!

She makes a silly face. Nothing.

JOY (CONT’D)

Oh, here’s a fun game! You point to

the train station and we all go

there! Won’t that be fun? Come on,

let’s go to the train station!

Joy walks off, attempting to lead.

SADNESS:

(sits beside Bing Bong)

I’m sorry they took your rocket.

They took something that you loved.

It’s gone, forever.

JOY:

Sadness, don’t make him feel worse.

SADNESS:

Sorry.

BING BONG:

It’s all I had left of Riley.

INSIDE OUT 82.

SADNESS:

I bet you and Riley had great

adventures.

BING BONG:

They were wonderful. Once we flew

back in time. We had breakfast

twice that day.

SADNESS:

That’s sounds amazing. I bet Riley

liked it.

BING BONG:

Oh she did. We were best friends.

SADNESS:

Yeah. It’s sad.

Bing Bong puts his head on Sadness’ shoulder and CRIES.

Sadness keeps her arm around him until he’s done.

BING BONG:

I’m okay now.

(stands)

C’mon, the train station is this

way.

He walks off. Joy and Sadness follow.

JOY:

How did you do that?

SADNESS:

I don’t know. He was sad, so I

listened to what-

BING BONG (O.S.)

Hey, there’s the train!

INT. TRAIN CAR - DAY

Our trio climb aboard just as the train moves.

JOY:

We made it! We’re finally going to

get home!

Twirling, she knocks over two boxes labeled “FACTS” and

“OPINIONS.” Small objects spill out of both.

INSIDE OUT 83.

JOY (CONT’D)

Oh no! These Facts and Opinions

look so similar!

He dumps them into the “FACTS” box.

BING BONG:

Eh, don’t worry about it -- happens

all the time.

INT. RILEY’S ROOM - NIGHT

Riley drops her gear and throws herself on her sleeping bag.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

DISGUST:

On a scale of one to ten, I give

this day an F.

ANGER:

Well why don’t we quit standing

around and DO something?

DISGUST:

Like what, genius?

Fear enters with a suitcase.

FEAR:

Like quitting! That’s what I’m

doing.

He stomps on the recall button.

FEAR (CONT’D)

Sure, it’s the coward’s way out.

But this coward is gonna survive!

The tube drops over him, but pummels Fear with dozens of

memories. The tube shuts off and retracts. Fear drops to the

floor in pain.

DISGUST:

Emotions can’t quit, genius.

Fear spits up a memory.

DISGUST (CONT’D)

Euch! I thought we were supposed to

be keeping Riley happy.

INSIDE OUT 84.

ANGER:

Wait a minute. Wait a minute!

Anger runs to the back and rummages through the ideas.

ANGER (CONT’D)

Ah ha!

FEAR:

What is it?

ANGER:

(holds up the lightbulb)

Oh nothing. Just the best idea ever.

DISGUST:

What?

ANGER:

All the good core memories were

made in Minnesota. Ergo, we go back

to Minnesota and make more. Ta-da!

FEAR:

Wait. You’re saying we run away?

ANGER:

Well, I wouldn’t call it that. I’d

call it, “The Happy Core Memory

Development Program.”

FEAR:

You can’t be serious.

ANGER:

Hey. Our life was perfect until Mom

and Dad decided to move to San Fran

Stinktown.

FEAR:

But, I mean, it’s just so drastic!

ANGER:

Need I remind you of how great

things were there? Our room? Our

back yard? Our friends?

He punches up a memory. It plays on the screen.

GUM MEMORY:

Tripledent gum will make you smile!

Tripledent gum it lasts-

INSIDE OUT 85.

ANGER:

Did I ASK for the gum

commercial?!?!

(he ejects the memory)

Anyway, it was better, that’s my

point.

DISGUST:

(considering)

Riley was happier in Minnesota...

FEAR:

Wait, hold on. Shouldn’t we just

sleep on this or something?
