Now we’re talking! Let’s go get our

stuff from the moving van!

INT. SAN FRANCISCO HOUSE - DAY

Riley dashes down the stairs as Mom and Dad enter the house.

Dad is on the phone.

Alright. Goodbye.

Well, guess what? The moving van

won’t be here until Thursday.

FEAR/ANGER/DISGUST/SADNESS

They’re arguing!/What are we going

to do?/This is so stressful./What

I’ve got a great idea!

She clicks the IDEA into the console.

INSIDE OUT 17.

Riley’s face lights up. Riley grabs her hockey stick. Puts a

wad of paper in play.

MOM DAD:

closing in!

DAD:

(grabbing a broom)

Hey! Oh, no you’re not!

RILEY:

She’s lining up for the shot!

DAD:

Coming behind you! Watch out!

She slides past him. Knocks the “puck” into the fireplace.

RILEY:

She shoots and she scores! Yeah!

A happy memory rolls in. Joy’s back in charge.

Oh, he doesn’t love us anymore.

That’s sad. I should drive, right?

JOY BLOCKS HER.

SADNESS (CONT’D)

Joy? What are you doing?

JOY:

Uh, just uh, gimme one second...

You know what I’ve realized? Riley

hasn’t had lunch!

(takes a memory off the

wall and plays it)

Remember?

A PIZZA SHOP.

FEAR/JOY/DISGUST

What the HECK IS THAT?!/Who puts

broccoli on pizza?/That’s it. I’m

done.

ANGER:

Congratulations, San Francisco,

you’ve ruined pizza! First the

Hawaiians, and now YOU!

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO STREET - LATER

Mom and Riley walk home. Riley looks disappointed.

MOM:

What kind of a pizza place only

serves one kind of pizza? Must be a

San Francisco thing, huh?

INT. HEADQUARTERS

Joy glances at the wall of multi-colored memories. She sighs:

things are not going well.

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO STREET - CONTINUOUS

MOM:

Still, it’s not as bad as the soup

at that diner in Nebraska.

RILEY:

Oh yeah. The spoon stood up in the

soup by itself! That was

disgusting.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

Joy looks out the back window. Family Island is going.

JOY:

Oh good. Family is running.

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO STREET

MOM:

The drive out was pretty fun, huh?

What was your favorite part?

INSIDE OUT 21.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

ANGER:

Spitting out the car window!

DISGUST:

Definitely not when Dad was

singing.

Wearing a seat belt!

What about the time with the

dinosaur!

Joy pulls up a memory.

SADNESS/FEAR/ANGER/DISGUST

Yeah./Yup./That’s the one.

ON THE SCREEN:
Riley and Mom pose in front of a roadside

cement dinosaur in Vernal, Utah.

DAD (ON SCREEN)

Say cheese!

Behind Dad, the car rolls down the hill. No brakes!

RILEY (ON SCREEN)

Dad! Dad! Look behind you.

MOM (ON SCREEN)

Honey. The car! The car!

DAD (ON SCREEN)

Hold still. Huh?

(runs off after the car)

Stoooop! No no no nononono!!

Stegosaurus tail through the back window. The family laughs.

Enjoying the memory, Joy and the others chuckle.

FEAR:

Nice one, Joy.

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO STREET

RILEY:

(smiling)

I liked that time at the dinosaur.

That was pretty funny.

INSIDE OUT 22.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

Joy’s cheer is cut short when the dinosaur memory TURNS BLUE.

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO STREET - DAY

Riley’s smile fades.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

JOY:

Wait. What? What happened?

Joy looks back. Sadness is touching the memory.

FEAR:

She did something to the memory.

Joy tries to fix the memory.

JOY:

What did you do?

SADNESS:

I just touched it.

JOY:

That shouldn’t make it change.

FEAR:

Change it back, Joy!

Joy rubs it, but the memory stays blue.

JOY:

I’m trying.

ANGER:

You can’t change it back?

JOY:

No, I guess I can’t!

DISGUST:

Good going Sadness. Now when Riley

thinks of that moment with Dad,

she’s gonna feel sad. Bravo.

SADNESS:

I’m sorry Joy... I don’t really

know-- I thought maybe, if you-- if

I-- if... I mean...

INSIDE OUT 23.

DISGUST:

Joy, we've got a stairway coming up.

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO STREET - DAY

Riley runs towards a stairway and handrail.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

JOY:

Just don’t touch any other memories

until we figure out what’s going on.

SADNESS:

Okay.

JOY:

(stepping up to controls)

Alright. Get ready, this is a

monster railing, and we are riding

it all the way down!

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO STREET - CONTINUOUS

Riley sits on the railing, ready to slide.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

Joy looks back:
GOOFBALL ISLAND is whirring like crazy.

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO STREET

Riley goes to slide... but hops off and walks down instead.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

JOY:

Wait, what? What happened?

Suddenly a CORE MEMORY ROLLS up to Joy’s feet.

FEAR:

A core memory!

JOY:

Oh no!

INSIDE OUT 24.

Out the back window, GOOFBALL ISLAND GOES DARK. Joy rushes to

the Core Memory Holder.

JOY (CONT’D)

Sadness! What are you doing?

SADNESS:

It looked like one was crooked so I

opened it and then it fell out!

Joy pops the memory back in. GOOFBALL ISLAND comes back on.

EXT. SAN FRANCISCO STREET

Riley jumps back on the railing and slides down.
