Inside Out

JOY (V.O.)

That’s Anger. He cares very deeply

about things being fair.

ANGER:

So that’s how you want to play it,

old man? No dessert? Oh, sure,

we’ll eat our dinner, right after

YOU eat this! GrrrraaaAAHH!!!!

Anger takes the controls as FLAMES blast out of his head. An

anger memory (red) rolls in.

INT. KITCHEN

Riley throws a fit. Dad distracts her.

DAD:

(’flying’ the spoon)

Hey, Riley, Riley, here comes an

airplane!

INT. HEADQUARTERS

Anger stops screaming.

ANGER:

Oh, airplane. We got an airplane,

everybody.

DISGUST/FEAR/SADNESS/JOY

Ohh!/Ahh!

INT. KITCHEN

Dad “lands” the food into Riley’s smiling mouth.

INSIDE OUT 6.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

A happy memory (golden) rolls in.

The others leave Joy alone at the console with Sadness.

JOY (V.O.)

And you’ve met Sadness. She...

well, she...

FLASH CUTS of Riley crying: broken toy, spilled ice cream,

tantrum in the supermarket, wanting out of her car seat.

JOY (V.O.)

I’m not actually sure what she

does. And I’ve checked, there’s no

place for her to go, so she’s good,

we’re good. It’s all great!

Sadness exits. Joy turns to the wall of golden memories.

JOY (V.O.)

Anyway! These are Riley’s memories--

and they’re mostly happy, you’ll

notice, not to brag.

She inspects one of the golden memories: Riley and her friend

MEG (both age 3) going down a slide. She REWINDS it,

relishing the happy moment.

JOY (V.O.)

But the REALLY important ones are

over here. I don’t want to get too

technical, but these are called

CORE MEMORIES.

Joy pops up the CORE MEMORY HOLDER. Inside are five intensely

bright golden memories.

JOY (V.O.)

Each one came from a super-

important time in Riley’s life.

Like when she first scored a goal?

That was so amazing!
