Good night, kiddo!

She looks up at the stars on her ceiling and falls asleep.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

Joy watches the screen go DARK. She inspects the shelves

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.

She’s got great friends and a great

house. Things couldn’t be better.

After all, Riley’s 11 now. What

could happen?

The car drives across the bridge. Riley looks out the window.

JOY (V.O.)

Hey look! The Golden Gate Bridge!

Isn’t that great?! It’s not made

out of solid gold like we thought,

which is kind of a disappointment,

but still!

The car drives past the Ferry Building.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

FEAR:

I sure am glad you told me

earthquakes are a myth, Joy.

Otherwise I’d be terrified right

now!

Everyone eyes each other behind Fear’s back.

JOY:

Uh... yeah.
