mostly populated with GOLDEN MEMORIES.

JOY:

And... we’re out. That’s what I’m

talking about:
another perfect day!

Nice job everybody! Let’s get those

memories down to Long Term.

Joy pulls a lever. Memories cascade down the shelves.

FEAR:

All right, we did not die today! I

call that an unqualified success.

The memories pachinko down the shelves and up a tube. Joy

runs to the back window to watch them glide through the

distant tubes towards Long-Term Memory like falling stars.

JOY (V.O.)

And that’s it! We love our girl.

DISGUST:

Why don't we just live in this

is going to look like! Let’s review
