[♪ wistful music playing]
[♪ exhilarating music playing]
Let’s play some hockey!
[audience cheering]
This is Joy, coming to you live in Riley’s mind, and we are expecting a great championship today with the Foghorns.
[girls chuckle]
Riley fans, get up on your feet,
and make some noise!
Go, go, go!
[all] Let’s go, Foghorns!
[rhythmic hand claps]
Bring it in!
Foghorns on three.
One, two, three…
[all] Foghorns!
[referee blows whistle]
[players grunting]
[Riley panting]
Now, it’s time to greet your Team Riley!
Playing in his 13th year,
and fresh from the penalty box,
it’s Riley’s Anger!
Let me at ’em! [roars]
[growls]
[Riley growling]
[players grunting]
[all cheering]
Whoo!
Helmet, pads, gloves,
safety checklist is complete.
It should be nothing but smooth sailing from…
[screams] Look out!
[Riley grunts]
And that’s Fear, keeping Riley on her toes.
We gotta get our mouth guard, people.
No, no, no! That’s not ours!
[gags]
And that, folks,
is the infamous Disgust.
[Disgust gagging]
Glad to have her on our team.
[player grunts]
[whistle blows]
Twentyeight. Andersen, tripping.
[Sadness] Oh, no…
[audience exclaiming]
And bringing up the rear,
you know her, you love her,
the one, the only…
Oh… We got a penalty.
[Sadness crying]
That’s right,
Sadness is in the house!
Yay…
[female announcer] Andersen goes to the box.
Two minutes for tripping.
[Joy] Okay, looks like we have a couple of minutes
while Riley takes a breather.
Let me catch you up.
Riley is still exceptional.
[Riley] Tada!
Oh. Yum.
[Joy] And not just because she’s the top
of her class…
Riley Andersen.
[Joy] …which, by the way, she is.
Riley, Riley, over here!
[Joy] She’s also really kind,
and she’s nice to stray cats.
I mean, come on.
Oh, and she’s officially
a teenager now.
[parents cheering]
[Joy] She got very tall, very fast.
[Anger] Did we grow overnight?
[Sadness] Oh. That was our favorite shirt.
[Joy] We even got braces with extra rubber bands!
[dentist] How does it feel?
Great!
[dentist] Ow!
Sorry.
[Joy] Riley’s Personality Islands
are still going strong.
Glad to see Boy Band Island finally broke up.
But Goofball is still monkeying around. [laughs]
Wait, where’s Family Island?
It’s right there.
[Sadness] Oh, there it is.
What’s that blocking it?
[Joy] Oh, that’s Friendship Island.
Isn’t it amazing?
But we realized her islands
aren’t the only things made by memories.
Way down, at the root level,
these memories were also creating beliefs.
[Riley echoing] Homework should be illegal.
[groaning]
[echoing] Get Up and Glow is the best band ever!
[Joy] And my personal favorite…
[Riley echoing] I’m a really good friend.
Did you know the change in your couch
could change the world? Oh, no!
[children exclaiming]
[coins clinking]
[children laughing]
Oh, no, we should do something.
No! That girl is a social Titanic.
Do not get on that ship.
[Fear] Uh…
Guys…
[gasps]
Wow.
[all gasping]
[Joy] That is so pretty.
[children chuckling]
It’s okay. I drop things all the time.
I’m Riley.
I’m Grace.
I’m Bree.
[Joy] Turns out, when you put
all of those beliefs together,
they make the most wonderful thing of all.
Her Sense of Self.
[Riley echoing] I’m a good person.
[Joy] It’s what helps Riley make good choices.
Thirteen years of hard work,
all wrapped up in what some might call our masterpiece.
You know, one of the hardest
challenges we found…
[buzzer sounds]
[Joy] Oh, my gosh! We’re back in the game.
[Sadness gasps] We’re tied.
How are we gonna score in time?
[Fear] Oh! We use our slap shot!
No, no, no. We charge the goalie!
But Grace hasn’t scored yet.
Riley’s got this.
Thread the needle!
Come on, Riley.
[player grunts]
[audience cheering]
[grunts]
[players clamoring]
[Riley panting]
[player grunts]
[panting]
[grunts]
[buzzer sounds]
[audience cheering]
[all] Awooga! [chuckling]
[all] Awooga!
Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about!
Look at that! That’s my girl!
[female announcer] And the Foghorns
win the championship!
[all cheering]
[cheering]
She shoots and she scores!
Champions, baby!
[woman] Hey, girls.
Congratulations on your win.
That’s the high school coach!
[both exclaiming]
What a game!
That last play? Whoo!
The three of you were impressive.
Thanks, Coach Roberts.
Look, it’s last minute,
but every year, I do a threeday skills camp.
I invite all the best players in the area.
I’d love for you girls to come.
Are we in a dream right now?
Please, can somebody pinch me?
Ow!
Definitely awake.
If we impress Coach,
she’ll put the three of us on the team next year.
Ooh! The Fire Hawks!
Finally, a team I can get behind.
What do you say?
Yes!
Absolutely yes.
We’re there!
Thank you,
thank you, thank you!
Great.
We’ll see you tomorrow.
Ah! This is amazing!
[all laughing]
[knocking at door]
What a big day!
[exclaims]
You are such an allstar!
You are gonna knock the coach’s skates off!
Hockey scholarship, here we come!
Dad, stop.
It’s just hockey camp.
I mean, who knows what’ll happen?
[referee blows whistle]
Twentyeight. Andersen,
tripping.
[Sadness whimpering]
My penalty almost lost us the game today.
What if I get to camp and I screw it up?
Hey, don’t talk like that.
Yeah, you did great today, honey.
Exactly. Mom gets it.
Yeah, I guess.
We’re so proud of you.
Night, monkey. [mimics chittering]
[mimics chittering, laughs]
All right, all right.
Sleep tight, honey.
[door closes]
[sighs]
Oh, Riley’s so hard on herself.
But we can make everything easier.
[grunts]
Behold, my super hightech
Riley protection system.
[clangs]
Don’t look, it’s fine.
This is for all those memories
that belong in the Back of the Mind,
like this penalty one.
It’s weighing on her, so let’s lighten the load.
A oneway expressway to,
“We’re not gonna think about that right now.” Whoo!
[Anger] Not bad.
[Sadness] Oh, Joy.
That’s pretty impressive.
You worked hard.
You take such good care of Riley.
Thanks, I try.
Okay, let’s do a sweep.
Oh, here’s one where she waved at a guy
who was actually waving at a girl behind her.
Oh, that was so bad. Good choice.
Oh, here’s when she forgot that girl’s name.
Oh, yeah, that was super awkward.
What was her name?
I don’t know, Janet or something?
Whatever. Let’s just get rid of it. Oh! [chuckles]
We keep the best and toss the rest. [sighs]
Nice work, everyone.
All right, Anger,
the rest of these babies can go to longterm.
Oh, okay. Let’s get some shuteye.
Big day tomorrow.
Joy, are you taking that
where I think you’re taking that?
Wanna come this time?
Yes.
I mean no. I…
Oh, no. I really shouldn’t.
You know, you’re the only one
who hasn’t been to the Belief System.
Yeah, it’s just that it’s new,
and I know how important it is.
And I don’t wanna mess it up or break it,
or burn it to the ground or anything.
Sadness, you won’t hurt it, I promise.
Have I ever steered you wrong before?
Yeah, many times.
Come on.
[panel chimes]
Where I go, you go.
[♪ enchanting music playing]
[elevator dings]
[gasps] Oh, my goodness.
[♪ gentle piano music playing]
[splashing]
Whoa!
[cord reverberates]
[young Riley echoing] Mom and Dad are proud of me.
Ah! An oldie but a goodie.
[Young Riley] [Riley] [echoing] I’m kind.
Aw. That’s nice.
[Riley echoing] I’m strong. I’m brave.
I’m a really good friend.
[chuckles softly]
[muffled laughter]
[reverberates]
[Riley echoing] I’m a winner.
[Joy] And all those beliefs come together
to make our Riley.
[Riley] I’m a good person.
[Joy snoring]
[Anger mumbling]
[Joy chuckles]
[distinct beep]
[chuckles, snores]
[distinct beep]
[mumbles]
[continues snoring]
[distinct beep]
Huh?
[groaning]
What the heck is that?
[distinct beep]
[beeps]
[groans softly]
[alarm blaring]
[all screaming]
Turn that off, Joy!
[Fear] People, it’s the apocalypse!
No!
What are you doing?
[grunts] Um…
[panting]
[chuckles] Whoo!
Problem solved.
Joy.
[glass shatters]
[all screaming]
Okay, let’s clear it all out.
It’s demo day.
[workers cheering]
[Joy] Demo?
Wait, wait, what’s happening?
What’s going on?
[roaring]
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[worker grunts]
[screams] Who are you people?
[screams]
[screams]
[worker laughs]
Hey, are you the one in charge here? [exclaims]
Could you do me a favor and stop
tearing Headquarters apart?
No can do. Didn’t you hear?
Permits just came through.
Permits? For what?
For expanding the place.
You know, for the others.
[worker exclaims]
[Joy coughs]
What others?
They’re not here yet? Aye, yi, yi.
Hey, Margie, you got that console?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Give me a sec!
Hey, hey! What are you doing?
All right. She’s all set.
Set with what?
[Dad] Come on, Riley. Get up.
Camp time.
[groans softly]
Lunch break!
[workers chattering]
Wait, wait! You can’t leave it like this.
Don’t worry, we’ll be back.
[Dad] Come on. We’re gonna be late.
Oh, no, no, no!
[Dad] Let’s go!
[groaning]
Riley, you aren’t packed yet?
Ugh! You’re always on me!
Can’t you just lay off for, like, one second?
Uh, overreact much?
I barely touched it.
Those morons broke the console.
Riley, what’s wrong?
Oh, Mom looks sad.
[console clicks]
I’m the worst!
[Mom] Oh, no. Honey.
[crying]
I barely touched it.
That’s what I said.
[sobbing]
[sniffing]
Let the professional handle this.
I’m too gross to go to camp or anywhere ever again!
Oh, yeah, this is totally broken.
Well, we all knew this day would come.
Remember, we agreed not to make a big deal about this.
But she really does stink.
[all agree]
Oh, it’s bad.
Remain calm. Stick to the prepared script.
You are not gross, honey.
You’re just changing.
Remember that beautiful butterfly
we saw in the park last week?
[echoing] Well, that butterfly began as a caterpillar.
[Joy] Easy…
[Mom] And just like that caterpillar…
Easy…
…you’re about to get your wings.
But if you have questions…
Oh, my gosh, Mom!
Just go away! Ugh!
Well, that’s a preview of the next 10 years.
Riley!
Oh, my gosh!
We’re gonna have so much fun!
[Dad] All right.
Who’s ready for hockey camp?
[girls] Oh, yeah!
[Joy] Okay, until we can figure this out,
nobody touch the console unless you really need to.
So, big weekend for us. What do you wanna do?
Well, we could finally clean out the garage.
Or, actually, we can get upstairs…
How great is next year gonna be?
Coach Roberts’ team has been state champs like every year.
And Val Ortiz is the captain now.
This Valentina Ortiz obsession is outta control.
Uh, she made the Fire Hawks when she was only a freshman.
That’s really hard.
All we have to do is be super awesome at camp,
Coach will put us on the team, and we’ll all be Fire Hawks!
Wait, what was that?
What was what?
We got a look. I don’t like this.
What? You’re paranoid.
I never miss a look.
[Disgust] Enhance 224… 176.
Track right. Zoom in.
Right there!
So?
She’s hiding something.
But what?
What is she doing?
She’s looking at our look!
No, it’s much more than that.
She looks the same to me.
Overlay and compare.
See? Riley then, Riley now. Riley then, Riley now.
[all gasp, exclaim]
Oh, It’s so obvious!
But what does it mean?
She knows we’re hiding something.
What is happening right now?
I don’t know! I don’t know!
I can’t take this anymore!
Ah!
You spilled the tea!
Coach Roberts isn’t gonna be our coach next year.
Grace!
[whimpers]
We… We got assigned to a different high school.
Aha! Oh…
Oh, no.
Oh…
Okay. Um…
Yeah. No big deal.
This is a huge deal!
Our life is over!
Is she serious right now?
How long have they known this?
[Fear] I can’t breathe.
We can’t go to high school
without Bree and Grace.
We won’t know anybody.
We’ll still get to hang out.
And we’ll have this weekend,
which means we’ll get one last time
playing on the same team.
Friends are forever, right?
Yeah. Of course.
[both] Whoo!
I can’t wait to get to the rink.
When do we get our schedules?
[Grace] I heard our room has a view…
Oh, this is so sad.
No, wait, Sadness!
No, no, no! Don’t!
I don’t have a good grip!
Just keep it together until we’re out of the car.
[Dad] Here we are.
This looks really cool.
Are you sure you don’t need an assistant coach?
‘Cause I am available.
[Mom] Bill.
[Dad] No? All right.
We’ll see you in a few days.
[Mom] Have fun!
[Bree] Thanks so much. Bye!
Don’t miss us too much.
Okay, bye!
Wait. Riley,
are you sure you have everything?
Stick?
Yes.
Gloves?
Yes.
You have your phone?
Yes, of course.
Fully charged?
Yeah, it’s like 50.
What?
Dad, it’s fine.
Okay, call us if you need us.
I love you. Go get ’em.
Okay. Love you guys.
Don’t forget the deodorant!
Mom!
Bye, monkey.
Okay, now.
[crying]
It’s okay. We need this.
[sniffles]
[gasps]
[Disgust] Guys, these are highschoolers.
Oh…
We do not wanna be
red and puffy, do we?
No.
Don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of time
to think about this after camp.
Now, where did Bree and Grace go?
Oh! There they are.
Wait.
Aren’t those traitors dead to us?
Our best friends? [scoffs] No.
[girl] Whoa! Hey!
Are you okay?
[gasps] Everybody act regular. It’s Valentina Ortiz.
Ah!
We gotta say something.
Uh…
Hey.
Hi. I’m Val…
I know.
You’re the varsity captain,
you set the alltime goal record as a junior,
your favorite color’s red, and your skates…
What are we saying?
We are so uncool.
Why are we still holding her hand?
Just like me. [gasps, chuckles nervously]
Oh, you’re the one Coach told us about.
Riley, from Michigan, right?
It’s Minnesota, sweetie.
No, no, no.
We cannot correct Val Ortiz.
[laughs] Yeah, that’s me.
Riley from good old Michigan.
Orange? Who made the console orange?
Do I look orange?
I didn’t touch it.
Orange is not my color.
Not me.
Hello, everybody.
[all scream]
Oh, my gosh. I am just such a huge fan of yours.
And now, here I am, meeting you, face to face.
[squeals] Okay. How can I help?
Uh… [exclaims]
I can take notes,
get coffee, manage your calendar, walk your dog,
carry your things, watch you sleep.
Wow! You have a lot of energy. [chuckles]
Maybe you could just stay in one place.
Anything.
Just call my name, and I am here for you.
Okay, love that.
And what was your name again?
Oh.
I’m sorry. I can get ahead of myself.
I’m Anxiety.
I’m one of Riley’s new emotions.
And we are just superjazzed to be here.
Where can I put my stuff?
Uhuhuh. What do you mean “we”?
[female voice sighs in exasperation]
[female voice] I wish I was as tall as all of you. [grunts]
Who the heck are you?
[grunting, panting]
I’m Envy.
Oh! Look at your hair.
Oh, yeah, not happening.
[gasps]
Look at her hair!
We need hair like that.
Oh, my gosh. I love the red in your hair.
Oh…
[Disgust gasps]
What are you doing?
Hey, maybe when I make the team,
I can join Team Redhead, too!
Yeah, yeah.
[whimpers]
[gasps]
Okay, who’s this guy?
What’s your name, big fella?
That’s Embarrassment.
He’s not really big on eye contact,
or uh, like, good talking,
but he’s a really sweet guy.
Well, welcome to Headquarters, Embarrassment.
Oh, we’re doing a… No.
No, going high. Oh.
You got a real sweaty palm there, buddy. [chuckles]
[Embarrassment whimpering]
Hey, do you wanna come with me, actually?
You can meet some of the other Fire Hawks.
[Anxiety] Ooh, this is exciting.
But we can’t let her know we’re excited.
Yeah, sounds good.
What emotion was that?
That’s Ennui.
Anwhat?
[female voice 2 sighs]
Ennui.
It’s what you would call the boredom.
Well, come on up here, Anwer.
Am I saying it right?
Anwah. No.
Oh, nicknames! I’m gonna call you WeeWee.
No.
How are you driving?
Console app.
[beeps]
Hey! Stop it! That’s enough.
Now, now, I know new emotions
can sometimes feel unhelpful at first,
and you just wanna… [grunting]
say to them, “Why are you so annoying?”
But I’ve learned that every emotion is good for Riley.
Even this turkey.
[Sadness chuckles]
Okay, fine.
[Ennui sighs]
Cool. Lead the way.
All right. Grab your stuff and follow me.
[Sadness] Oh, but what about our friends?
[Envy] Val is our future.
Yes, I agree completely.
We need new friends or else
we’ll be totally alone in high school.
Right, Joy?
Well…
I mean, maybe, um…
Here we go!
Wait up.
Thanks for showing me around.
Wait, why did you do that?
Sorry. What did I do?
We just left our best friends behind.
But what about the new ones that we’re about to meet?
No. Okay.
These next three days need to be about Bree and Grace.
Joy, the next three days could determine
the next four years of our lives.
[chuckles] Now, I think that’s overstating things a bit.
Ooh, la, la. Joy is so old school.
What?
Look, we all have a job to do.
You make Riley happy,
Sadness makes her sad,
Fear protects her from the scary stuff she can see,
and my job is to protect her
from the scary stuff she can’t see.
I plan for the future.
Oh, I can show you. You’re gonna love this.
[console beeps]
I was using that as a cup holder.
Okay, so my team has run all the data,
and we’re looking at the following
likely scenarios.
First, we don’t take this camp seriously,
and we goof off with Bree and Grace.
Riley looks really uncool in front of Val.
She fails to impress the coach,
does not become a Fire Hawk,
and finally arrives at high school.
She has no one.
[bell ringing]
She eats alone, and only the teachers
know her name.
Ew.
Okay, you and I are gonna be friends.
Oh, this is a sad story.
It’s a ridiculous story.
Look, again, love the energy, but you’re being silly.
None of this will actually happen.
Right. Whatever you say.
You’re the boss. [chuckles]
[female voice 3] Oh…
Remember when we all finally came up to Headquarters?
That was like 30 seconds ago, Nostalgia.
Yeah, those were the days.
Nostalgia, you aren’t supposed to be here yet.
You still have about 10 years, two graduations,
and a best friend’s wedding before you’re invited,
but I will keep you in the loop, I promise.
[Valentina] All right…
Hey, hey…
you ready, Riley?
everybody focus!
Val is leading us into their holy inner sanctum!
And here we are!
[indistinct chatter]
[Envy] These girls are so cool!
[Disgust] And older.
We are not changing in front of them.
It’s fine!
Locker rooms are places of mutual respect.
Hey, come on! I want you to meet the other Fire Hawks.
Hey, girl!
What’s up?
Hey.
Riley is from Michigan.
Okay, we’re stuck with that.
Oh, Cool. Where in Michigan are you from?
Uh…
Oh, no. What now?
Okay, looks like we’re committing to this.
Cities in Michigan…
We need to make something up.
I’m from all over.
Nice. See you out there.
Hey, you wanna sit with us?
[Anxiety] Oh, she wants to sit with us.
[gasps] Everything is beautiful!
There’s not enough room for Bree and Grace.
Oh! Let’s go sit over there.
I was gonna go save seats for my friends.
But thanks anyway.
Oh. Uh… Yeah. Okay.
No worries.
See? Was that so hard?
No. You’re totally right.
That decision’s not gonna haunt us
for the rest of our lives at all.
[Bree] No way!
Bree and Grace!
There you are.
Riley.
Time to celebrate!
Say, “awooga”!
[both] Awooga!
Okay, ladies. Let’s all settle in.
[babbling, chuckling]
Uh, Joy?
Wait, wait, wait.
[coach] Ladies!
[girls gasp]
Settle in means settle down.
I need your focus.
Which means now I’m going to need your cell phones.
All of ’em.
[girl] Wait, what? Are you serious?
[tuts] You’re here to work, not goof around.
Got that, Andersen?
Yes, Coach.
Please put all your phones in the basket.
You get them back at the end of camp.
Wow. Coach is so serious.
Joy, I’m just curious. Maybe, um, I could help…
Thank you. Not now.
I know, right? [laughs]
[all chuckling]
Oh. [chuckles] You think this is funny?
Uhhuh. Well, you know what else is funny?
Skating lines.
Now hit the ice, ladies.
[all groaning]
Great job, Michigan.
Thanks a lot, new girl.
[girl 1] Just make her do it.
[sighs] Bravo, Joy. She’s totally fitting in now.
Oh, thanks so much, WeeWee.
[all panting]
You’re lagging behind, Andersen!
Skate harder!
[player] This is the worst.
[whistle blows]
All right, ladies, take a breather.
Then we’ll divide into teams.
[breathing heavily]
[Fire Hawk player] Oh, that Michigan girl
is off to a rough start.
[Anxiety] Oh, no.
Are they talking about us?
Yeah, there’s no way Coach is putting her
on the team if she can’t get it together.
Uh, okay, Dani, like you had it all together
when you were a freshman?
I wasn’t that immature.
[Sofia] Dani, you stuck straws up your nose. Like last night.
[Embarrassment groaning]
[grunting]
Aw. I got you, big guy.
[sobbing]
[Envy] Oh.
I always wanted people to talk about us, but not like this.
Oh, Joy, what do we do now?
Um…
We can just, um…
I have an idea.
Okay.
If we can get Val on our side, everything will be great.
Uh, Val?
Oh, hey, Riley. What’s up?
Uh, II…
I’m so sorry.
I didn’t mean to get the whole team skating lines.
I feel terrible.
I respect you so much.
I would never do anything to mess you up.
Uh, that’s laying it on a bit thick, don’t you think?
[shushes] Joy.
You’re a great hockey player,
and you lead the team so amazingly,
and I really look up to you and…
Okay, okay. Thanks. [chuckles]
Listen, Coach was pretty hard on you today,
but that’s not a bad thing.
It means you’re on her radar.
Really?
Listen, I’m glad you came to talk with me.
Hey, let’s try to be on the same team later, okay?
Oh, yeah. Cool.
[sighs wearily]
Wow.
[Ennui] Good job. Wow.
I wish I could do that.
You guys, I mean, it really wasn’t anything.
I’m just trying to help.
I agree.
Great job, Anxiety.
I stepped back, you stepped in,
you got Riley back on track, now I’m ready to step back in.
But that was just part one of my plan.
There’s a part two?
A good plan has many parts, Joy.
Okay, ladies, we’re gonna form your teams
for the rest of camp.
Now, split yourselves down the middle.
Team one on the right, team two on the left.
Let’s do this!
One more time on the same team, right?
Right.
Val wants us.
But we promised Bree and Grace.
Joy, we have to plan for the future.
Come on, Riley, move. Move those feet!
Val’s on team one, you wanna be on team one.
Let’s go.
She made a promise to her friends.
She’s not gonna break it.
Oh, you’re so right, Joy.
[grunts]
[shatters]
What are you doing?
[Anger] Hey!
No! You can’t have that. Put that back.
Joy, I don’t mean to overstep…
No!
…but it has to be done.
What are you… No!
[gasps] No…
I know change is scary, but watch.
I’m so excited.
[gasps]
All right. Welcome to our team, Michigan.
That is not Riley.
I know. It’s a better Riley.
A Riley who won’t be alone next year.
We build her a new Sense of Self.
A brandnew her.
No, no, no!
You can’t go down there with that.
Over my dead flaming body!
I am truly sorry.
I was so looking forward to working with you guys.
Hey, hey! What do you think you’re doing?
Get off me!
Riley’s life is more complex now.
It requires more sophisticated emotions than all of you.
You just aren’t what she needs anymore, Joy.
[gasps]
How dare you, madam!
You can’t just bottle us up!
Oh! That’s a great idea.
[all grunting]
[Fear] I can’t breathe.
I can’t breathe!
It’s not forever.
It’s just until Riley makes varsity,
or until she turns 18, or maybe forever.
I don’t know. We’ll have to see.
Bye!
[Joy] Anxiety!
Riley needs us!
[all clamoring]
Okay.
Don’t worry, Riley. You’re in good hands.
Now let’s change everything about you.
[Embarrassment grunting]
Huh?
[Embarrassment exclaims]
Quick question. How do we build a new Riley,
which I’m loving, by the way, amazing concept,
if it took them 13 years to build the old one?
Well, good news is we’re not starting from scratch.
I wanna plant one.
Next time.
[groans]
[crackling]
[twangs]
[Riley echoing] If I’m
a Fire Hawk, I won’t be alone.
[crackling]
[siren wailing]
[Sadness crying]
[Anger] No, no, no!
Let us out now!
[Disgust] No, stop! Stop! Let us out!
[Fear] Uh, Joy…
[crying] We’re gonna be in here forever.
[crying]
[Fear gasps] Where are you putting us?
The same place we keep all of Riley’s secrets.
We’re not secrets.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. “We’re not secrets.
“We’re making a big mistake.”
[Frank] Never heard that before.
[Frank and Dave laughing]
[vault door shuts]
We are suppressed emotions!
[Anger] Let us out! Right now!
No, no, no. Riley’s gonna be fine.
Totally fine.
[male voice] Hey, there. You know what we call that?
Denial.
Can you say denial?
[all gasp]
Hi, friends.
Welcome. It’s so good to have you here with us today.
[laughs] It’s Bloofy!
From that preschool show Riley used to like?
That’s right!
And here’s a little secret.
[Fear exclaims]
[whispers] Riley still likes the show.
[singing] ♪ Stomp like an elephant ♪
♪ Scurry like a mouse ♪
♪ Make your way down To Bloofy’s house! ♪
Please kill me.
Bloofy, we’re in a real pickle.
Could you help us get out of here?
Uhoh. We’re gonna need your help.
Can you find a way out?
Who are you talking to?
My friends.
Do you see a key?
Hmm.
I don’t either.
Okay, we’re doomed.
[male voice 2] Indeed.
Welcome to your eternal fate.
[gasps] Lance Slashblade?
But he’s a video game character.
Why is he here?
Yeah, I always thought Riley had a secret crush on him.
I never saw the appeal.
I long to be a hero,
but darkness haunts my past.
[all assenting]
[Anger] I get it.
I’m in a hundred percent.
[growling]
Uh… Who’s that?
Oh!
That’s Riley’s Deep Dark Secret.
What… What is the secret?
You don’t wanna know.
Riley’s secrets,
a rogue emotion has taken over Headquarters.
Now, if you could just open the jar…
Hey, kids, let’s learn some Latin.
Do you know quid pro quo?
We get you out of that jar,
then you get us out of this safe.
No, Bloofy.
Their destiny is not ours to change.
We were all banished here,
deemed unfit, worthless.
[gasps] Don’t you dare say that.
You do not deserve to be thrown away.
Uh, one second, Lance.
Don’t you remember his power move?
I’m coming for you, Riley!
Oh, yeah? Watch this!
[Riley] Come on!
You listen to me, Lance Slashblade.
No one is totally worthless.
But I am a warrior cursed with a feeble attack.
Then you must make your curse your gift.
Shield yourself, my friends,
for I shall set you all free!
[Lance grunting]
Hey, little help?
[growls]
[glass shatters]
Great job, Dark Secret.
[grunts]
Now it’s your turn to help us.
My pouch has just the thing to get us out of here.
Everybody say, “Oh, Pouchy!”
[all] Oh, Pouchy!
[♪ amusing music plays]
Hi, everybody. I’m Pouchy.
Pouchy, we need to escape.
Do you have anything that can help us?
I have lots of items.
Which one do you think will work the best?
A tomato,
a frog,
or exploding dynamite?
Oh, for crying out loud.
[explosion]
Yay! We did it, everyone!
Let’s all sing
the “We did it” song. [inhales deeply]
[all] No time!
Thank you, friends. I must… [grunts]
I must be leaving you.
What about Dark Secret?
Not yet.
Yeah, that’s probably best for everybody.
[Dave] Hey! Who let you out? Get back in there!
Oh, boy.
What are we gonna do?
Oh, disgusted one,
as you once believed in me, I will now believe in myself.
[sword clatters]
[guards gasp]
Huh?
Wait. What?
[all laughing]
[groans]
Ooh!
[screams, grunts]
[groans, grunts]
Whoa! What’s happening? Whoa!
[Sadness gasps]
[Anger laughing]
[groaning]
No…
Dave, help! Help!
Hold on!
[cop] Dave!
Lance!
[Lance] Goodbye, friends.
Hello, destiny!
Well, there’s a lid for every pot.
Come on!
[Fear] What do we do? What do we do?
Whoa, Anger, stop. Where are you going?
Um, back to Headquarters, to help Riley!
Riley’s not up there.
She’s out there.
We can’t go back without her Sense of Self.
You want us to go all the way to the Back of the Mind?
Are you out of your mind?
But, Joy, how will we…
[male cop] Freeze!
Come on!
[male cop] Hold it right there!
[siren wailing]
[scoffs] How do we get there? Do you even have a plan, Joy?
I bet Anxiety would have a really good plan…
Of course I have a plan. Who doesn’t have a plan?
Look, she’s not the only one who can project the future.
First, all we have to do is, uh…
Give me a second.
Ooh! Follow the stream of consciousness,
and then we take a nice, easy float
all the way to the Back of the Mind.
[Fear] Where all the bad memories are.
[Joy] Exactly. And there,
we’ll find the Riley we know and love.
We’ll put her Sense of Self back,
and then Riley will be Riley again.
[Fear] Okay, I’m gonna give it to you.
That could actually work.
[Joy] Yeah, it could!
And then I tell Anxiety, “Hey, don’t worry so much anymore.”
And she’ll say, “Wow, Joy, I never thought
“of that before. Thank you.”
And then we hug and become best friends…
[Anger] And then I punt her into the dump.
[Anxiety screaming]
What? No, Anger.
Okay, fine. No punting.
Don’t worry, I know right where the stream is.
Sadness and I have been here before. Oh.
[Disgust] Joy, this is a dead end.
Those are the worst kinds of ends!
Everything’s changing so fast! [crying]
So, we’re lost.
No. You’re never lost if you’re having fun.
No one is having fun, Joy.
Oh, come on! Look at Sadness.
She’s having a great time.
[crying]
I thought you knew where you were going.
I do. I did.
I just need a moment.
She doesn’t know.
We’re stuck here!
Oh, Riley’s awake.
Wait, she’s up too early. What are they doing to her?
Come on, we’ll find another way.
Don’t worry, Riley. We’re coming.
[memories clinking]
[breathing heavily]
[Ennui sighs]
Why are we up so early?
Because, mon ami, we need to speed things up,
and that means we hit the ice early,
and practice like we’ve never practiced before.
[Ennui] Aren’t we already good at hockey?
[Envy] We’re good.
But the Fire Hawks are great.
That’s right!
[grunts, groans]
[Anxiety] Every time we miss,
we skate a lap around the rink.
Hockey is not a game, it is a sport.
[Riley grunts]
[grunts]
Yes!
[Envy] Wow.
That was amazing.
We need to be that good every time.
Let’s run it again.
Hey, I see I’m not the only one who likes to start early.
[Anxiety] You guys, it’s Val!
We had the same idea.
We’re basically the same person.
We’re gonna be best friends.
How long have you been here?
I don’t know. Maybe an hour.
I just wanted to get in some extra ice time.
I’m the same way.
[Anxiety] Oh, my gosh. She gets us.
See? I told the other girls you’d figure it out.
You get what it takes to be the best.
Look at us.
This is going great!
Yeah! But we need Val to really like us.
Oh, we should ask Val lots of questions.
People love talking about themselves.
So, what was your freshman year on the Fire Hawks like?
I mean, it was a lot of work,
like, a lot… [chuckles]
but it’s also how I met my best friends.
Val is sharing things with us!
Hey, a few of us are just gonna hang out tonight,
order some food. You should come.
Oh! An exclusive invitation. [chuckles]
We’re going!
Really?
Definitely.
It’ll be fun.
[coach] All right, ladies, let’s warm up.
Hey, Riley.
Hi.
We are not sharing Val with them.
[grunts] Early mornings make me so hungry.
I know, right?
I’d give anything for a piece of pizza right now.
Yes!
See? I told you I’d find it.
The Stream of Consciousness.
[Sadness] But, Joy…
Wow! Our girl is hungry.
Hop on something delicious!
Joy…
Ooh, deep dish.
[chuckles] And it’s still warm.
Extra cheese, baby!
Sadness, come on.
But I’ve been trying to tell you.
We can’t take the tube back, Joy.
Someone has to be at the console to recall us.
She’s right. We’d be stranded.
Yeah. Anxiety would have thought about that.
Well, I doubt it. Fine.
Okay. Uh…
So, someone’s gonna have to crawl up that tube,
and go back to Headquarters,
and at the right moment, bring us back.
Oh, I’ll do it. I’ll pound that…
I don’t think so, punty.
Okay, here’s the thing.
You were never an option.
Thank you.
You want me to crawl through a tube in this?
Yeah, not happening.
[gasps] Oh, no, not me.
Yes! Sadness, you could do it.
You know the console better than anybody.
You’ve read the manuals cover to cover.
I mean, you say that,
but I know a lot less about Manual 28, Chapter Seven,
“How to Recall NonMemory Objects”
than most folks realize.
You’ve proven my point for me, Sadness.
That sounds like a yes.
[man on radio] Where is everybody?
You on break again?
Ooh! Walkietalkies. Here. Checkcheckcheck.
Can you hear me? I gotta press a button.
Go for Joy. Copy that. Over. Oh, I love ’em!
We’ll signal you when we get there,
and then you bring us back.
Oh…
[Joy] Sadness, it’s the fastest way back to Headquarters.
Joy, I can’t do it.
I’m not strong like you are.
I know you, Sadness.
You are strong.
I can’t give you specific examples right now,
but you got this.
[Joy grunts]
[Sadness whimpers]
Just don’t look down and keep moving.
[Sadness] Yeah, I can do it.
[crying hysterically]
She’ll be okay. Right?
Uh, fiftyfifty.
Mmm! You want one?
But we hate those things.
They taste like cardboard.
[Embarrassment groaning]
We can’t say no to Val.
Okay, no, you’re so right.
We eat whatever Val eats.
That’s the spirit!
Whoo!
Envy, I think you’re really in the zone.
Take the wheel, I’ll be right back.
She picked me! She picked me. Did you see that, Ennui?
She picked me.
You care too much about things.
Mmm. Mmmhmm.
It’s got a very interesting texture.
It tastes like… Mmm…
What does it remind me of? Um…
Cardboard? Asparagus? Broccoli?
What are they doing to her up there?
I don’t know, but we have to go.
No! No way am I step…
We have to. Riley needs us.
[groans]
Okay, fine!
Ugh. Ew! Ew!
[Fear whimpering]
[Joy grunts]
Gross. I think I’m gonna be sick.
[♪ dramatic music playing]
[crackling]
[Riley echoing] If I’m good at hockey,
I’ll have friends.
[chuckles]
[crackles]
[warbles weakly]
[indistinct shouting]
[player grunts]
Whoo!
Yeah!
Okay, Miss Riley.
Way to go, Michigan.
Nice one, Michigan.
All right, ladies. Great day today.
Take it easy tonight.
Yes! This is the moment we’ve been waiting for.
Party time with Val and our future besties!
Why are we stopping? What’s going on?
[Dani] There it is.
The red notebook.
Don’t say it like that. You’ll freak her out.
Why would it freak me out?
Mmm, only because everything
Coach thinks about you is in there.
The good and the bad.
Whether she wants you on the team…
Or not.
You guys, too much.
What? It’s the truth.
[chuckles] She’s not wrong.
What do you think she’s written about us?
I don’t know. Do you think it’s bad?
Well, I didn’t until now!
What if she’s made a list of
all her favorite players, and we’re not on it?
Or a list of all the worst players,
and we’re at the top?
Or worse, we’re not on either list,
and we fade into obscurity!
Uh, sorry to interrupt you, but they’re walking away.
[Anxiety exclaims] We’re losing them,
we’re losing them.
[Anxiety] Okay. First big hang with the group.
We just gotta act casual.
Uh, why do our arms swing like that when we walk?
[Envy] Try to keep them still.
[Anxiety] That looks crazy.
[Envy] Okay.
[Envy] Well, walk like Dani. Her arms have rhythm.
[Anxiety] No, you’re making it worse!
[Envy] Well, that wasn’t my intention.
I’m sorry for trying something!
[Ennui] Uh, what do you think pockets are for?
[Envy] Oh, that’s good.
[Anxiety] Ennui, I am very proud of you.
[all laughing]
[Envy] What are they laughing about?
Does anybody know what cool people laugh about?
I don’t know. We were too focused on the arms thing.
Just pretend we get the joke.
[laughs]
[Embarrassment groans]
[Fear] Joy, Anger is taking up the floret.
Fear, what is the matter with you?
I don’t like this vessel.
Well, that’s all we have.
How much longer till we get there?
We’ll get there when we get there.
I bet Anxiety would know how long, down to the minute.
Well, she just knows everything, doesn’t she?
Look, I don’t like her words,
and I do not like her actions.
I just think I can change her.
You know what? Who likes banana bread?
Show of hands.
[indistinct conversation]
So, Michigan, who’s your favorite band?
Uh…
Everyone’s staring at us.
There’s only one right answer to this question.
Oh! Get Up and Glow! They’re so awesome.
Get Up and Glow!
I was all over them in middle school.
[Dani] Are you serious?
[Valentina] Yeah,
I was a Glow Girly. Relax.
No! We need a band they think is cool,
not one we actually like.
Quick, recall everything we know about music.
[whirring]
Uhoh!
[Sadness screaming]
[grunts]
[grunting]
[screaming]
We have to know one cool song, right?
[Sadness grunts]
[memories clattering]
[man] ♪ TripleDent gum ♪
[woman] ♪ Will make you smile ♪
Embarrassment, get that out of there!
Come on, there’s gotta be something in here.
[Envy] I’m looking, I’m looking.
[Anxiety] Something better, something cool. Come on.
No, not that. No.
This is the best we have!
It’s mostly jingles and Dad’s yacht rock.
But, I mean, you don’t still like
Get Up and Glow, do you?
Okay, don’t panic. What do we do?
If we don’t like their music,
we have nothing
to offer these girls.
[Ennui groans]
We’ll be outed as the imposter
that we obviously are.
Pardon. Excusez moi.
I’ve been waiting my whole life for this very moment.
[console buzzes]
[sarcastically] Oh, yeah. I love Get Up and Glow.
[echoing] Love Get Up and Glow.
[all screaming]
[♪ intense music playing]
Abandon broccoli!
[Disgust screams]
[Joy screams]
[Joy breathing heavily]
[Disgust] Joy!
Give us your hand! Come on.
[both grunting]
What is that?
That’s a Sarchasm.
It can open for miles!
Run for your lives!
Sarchasm? Really?
[Riley sarcastically] Get Up and Glow
is my favorite band.
But she loves Get Up and Glow.
They choreograph their own dances.
Okay, Joy,
if we can’t follow the stream,
we don’t know where we’re going.
And if we don’t know where we’re going,
we can’t follow the stream!
It is an endless loop of tragedy and consequence!
Or we could just ask those guys.
Oh, yeah. Or that.
Boy, are we so lucky we ran into you guys!
[echoing in sarcastic voice] Boy, are we so lucky
we ran into you guys!
Huh?
Please, we really need your help!
[echoing in sarcastic voice] We really need your help.
What’s their problem?
Guys, you just gotta turn on the charm.
[chuckles] Hey!
[echoing in sarcastic voice] I bet you’re the best
crane crew in the world!
Wow, those guys are jerks.
Wow, those guys are jerks.
[crane beeping]
[sarcastically] Oh, yeah. Get Up and Glow is so awesome.
Riley, what are you talking about?
You love Get Up and Glow.
Oh. Uh…
Hey, guys.
[Envy groans]
Why are our best friends
always trying to hang out with us?
Come on, Riley, we just went to their concert.
Well, yeah.
I mean, sure, but like…
But what?
We had a great time.
Grace, you are not helping.
[console buzzes]
[sarcastically] Oh, yeah,
we had a great time.
[Fire Hawks exclaim]
[Riley echoing] Great time.
[worker clamoring]
Why can’t they just leave her alone?
What are we gonna do now, Joy?
We go the long way, which is the best way.
Stretch those hammies, Anger. Let’s go.
Best night of my life.
Well, this has been really fun.
Extremely.
But we’re gonna go now.
Okay, bye.
[♪ upbeat pop music playing]
Oh, this is
the best band ever!
Okay, Riley!
Michigan knows what’s up!
See? As long as we like what they like,
we have all the friends we need.
[Riley laughing]
[Sofia] Night, guys.
Well, I think I’m calling it a night.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it’s late.
Plus, I think you’ll want to get some sleep
before tomorrow’s scrimmage.
What scrimmage?
Uh. It’s just something Coach always does on the last day.
It’s how Val made the team as a freshman.
Don’t tell her that.
Val scored two goals.
No freshman has ever done that.
Dani, stop.
Technically, it’s not your tryout for the next year,
but it basically is.
You’ll do great. Just be yourself.
[Anxiety] Did you hear that?
We could become a Fire Hawk, like, tomorrow.
But how do we be ourself if our new self isn’t ready yet?
[grunts] Excellent point.
Let’s get these memories downstairs.
[memories clattering]
Oh…
[memories clattering]
Is that broccoli?
We’re getting deeper and deeper in, Joy.
Great observation.
The long way did turn out
to be a little longer than I thought.
Anyway, who wants to sing a song?
Oh, I know a song. It’s called, “I give up.”
Or let’s play the quiet game!
One, two, three, hush.
[Anger] I’ll tell you what we do,
we go back up there and we kick those…
[Joy] Anger, now is not the time.
[Disgust] Joy, this is useless.
Real Riley is out there somewhere,
and we’re never going to find her.
[worker] You know what? Yeah, these can go.
Forget ’em!
No, no, no, I can find her.
I just need to get a better view.
[gasps]
[machine whirring]
Okay, well, this isn’t working, and that’s fine.
Everything’s fine.
This is hopeless.
I say we cut our losses and walk back.
This whole trip is just a series
of deader and deader ends.
Ever since that puberty alarm went off
nothing around here works the way it’s supposed to!
I don’t even recognize this place anymore.
It’s light out at 1:00 in the morning!
I have never been inside so many jars in my life.
And the Riley we knew is gone!
And if Joy can’t see that, well, then, she’s delusional!
Delusional?
Of course I’m delusional!
Do you know how hard it is to stay positive all the time,
when all you folks do is complain, complain, complain?
Jiminy motherloving toaster strudel!
[all gasp]
Do you think I have all the answers?
Of course I don’t!
[sighs]
We can’t even find the back of our own mind.
Anxiety is right!
Riley doesn’t need us as much as she needs them.
And that hurts.
It really hurts.
Joy, you’ve made a lot of mistakes.
A lot.
And you’ll make a whole lot more in the future.
But if you let that stop you,
we might as well lie down and give up now.
Well, actually, that does sound kinda nice.
Ow!
Come on.
[Anger] Excuse us.
Hey! You can’t use that.
Riley emergency.
[Fear] Thank you!
Hop on!
[chuckles]
[all screaming]
[Anger laughing]
[all grunt]
Let’s just forget that ever happened.
You don’t have to ask me twice.
[Joy sighs]
[Disgust groans]
[Anger groaning]
[gasps] Look.
[Fear gasps]
We’re right behind you.
[sighs]
Whoa!
This is great.
The Fire Hawks have accepted us.
But if Coach doesn’t put us on the team,
none of that matters.
Tomorrow is everything.
Which is why we’re gonna need more help.
Ennui, are you paying attention?
No.
Ugh. Embarrassment?
[Grace] Well, this has been really fun.
[Anxiety distantly] Embarrassment?
[Bree] Extremely.
[Anxiety] Never mind.
[Grace] But we’re gonna go.
[Riley] Okay, bye.
[book thuds]
Ah!
[gasps]
[Anxiety] Now, let’s see.
What am I looking for?
Don’t you just hate it when you go to do something,
and then you get there to do it,
and you forget what you were gonna do?
[Envy] We’ll need all the help we can get.
[Anxiety] That is exactly what I was thinking.
[whimpers]
Oh…
[Anxiety] Most important game of our lives.
[Embarrassment whimpers]
All right, guys, it’s gonna be a long night.
[cans popping open]
[gulps, sighs]
So let’s get the team ready.
[Joy] Come on. We just need to cut through…
[gasps] Imagination Land!
Oh, you guys are gonna love it.
There’s French Fry forest and Cloud Town and…
Whoa!
This place has changed.
Mount Crushmore?
Those are her top four?
[Disgust sighs]
The only one that matters is Lance.
Well, at least they got his good side.
Every side is his good side.
[posters rustling]
The Rumor Mill?
Ooh.
Where all of our good gossip comes from.
[Vendor] Extra, extra!
Pipin’ hot rumors right off the mill!
“The teacher’s lounge has a hot tub”?
“Lucy from math class is legit psychic”?
“Abbie R’s been texting Mike T,
“but Mike T’s been obsessing over Sarah M”? [gasps]
Where’s the journalistic integrity?
Oh! Fort Pillowton’s still here!
And it even got bigger.
Hmm.
And orange?
[Anxiety] All right, 22, Riley breaks her leg in practice,
disappointing everyone.
Nice job.
Now, 18. Val and Dani whispering
after Riley misses a goal.
Great! We need to help Riley prepare.
Now’s the time to send up
every possible thing that could go wrong.
We are looking to the future.
Every possible mistake she could make.
[workers chattering]
Come on, 17. I’m not seeing anything from you.
[Anxiety] Riley misses an open goal,
Coach writes about it in her notebook.
Yes!
More like that.
[Disgust] Oh, no!
They’re using Riley’s imagination against her.
Val and her friends like us now,
but if we don’t make the team,
will they like us tomorrow?
[sighs]
Okay, let’s go to number three.
[both cheering]
Bree and Grace’s team win,
and we look stupid.
[groans]
Number 22. Val passes to us, and we miss it. [gasps]
We can’t let her do this to Riley.
We have to shut this down.
[worker groans]
[Anxiety] Love it, 37.
Riley hits the puck into her own net.
Why are you drawing a hippo?
I’m not.
I… [stammers] I’m drawing Riley!
Joy, you forgot her ponytail.
Oh, I love her pony tail. Yes!
Riley scores and everyone hugs her?
81, that is not helping.
Riley paints her nails to match her jersey.
Everybody copies her. And she is so cool.
Riley wears knee pads.
We buy flowers for the losing team!
What? I can’t always be the rage guy.
No, no. I liked it.
Nail polish? Knee pads?
I’m starting to think you guys
don’t understand the assignment.
[can clatters]
What…
[muffled cheering]
[sighs in relief]
What? Who sent that projection to Riley?
Why would I know that?
Don’t look at me.
[groans]
[keys clacking]
[console beeping]
What is going on?
Who is sending all this positive…
Joy.
I know you’re in there.
[workers gasping]
[worker 1] Is that really her?
[worker 2] Is she really here?
[worker 3] Joy from Headquarters?
The mind police are on their way.
[shuts down]
Well, I think we gave it our best shot.
Don’t listen to Anxiety.
She’s using these horrible projections to change Riley.
Joy, I’m doing this for you!
This is all so Riley can be happier.
If you wanted her to be happy, then you’d stop hurting her.
Who’s with me?
[worker 4] Uhuh.
[workers whimpering]
Really? Nothing?
[Anxiety] Sorry, Joy.
[screen chimes]
Yeah! I see you, 87.
A cat.
A little offtopic, but I’ll take it.
Who else? Come on!
What if Riley is better than Val
and then Val hates her?
Or what if Riley is better than Val and Val respects her?
[screens chiming]
[Joy] Yeah! There we go!
[sighs softly]
What if Riley is so bad she has to give up hockey forever?
What if Riley does so well that the coach cries,
and the Olympics call,
and she rallies a weary nation to victory?
Uh, Joy, reality is also a thing.
[screens chiming]
No!
Anxiety has got you all chained to desks,
drawing nightmares!
But you don’t have to take it anymore!
Pencils down! Projections off!
Yeah!
Enough is enough!
[worker cheering]
[gasps] My projections!
Pillow fight!
[all laughing]
[all cheering]
For Riley!
We need to be prepared.
[screen shatters]
Oh! No!
[sighs in relief]
Okay, it’s time to go!
Yeah, I think so.
Bring it on, coppers!
[Joy] Oh, no, no, no.
[cop blows whistle]
[worker cheers]
[cop groans]
[cop] Hey, get back here!
Quick! To the Parade of Future Careers!
[workers chattering]
Grab a balloon!
[Disgust] Oh, a pastry chef!
[Joy] Underpaid!
[Fear] Art teacher!
[Joy] Underappreciated.
Oh, ethnomusicologist!
I don’t understand
what that is. Oh! Supreme Court justice!
That’s the one!
I trust her judgment.
Get back here!
[Disgust] Move!
[cop] They’re getting away!
[chuckles] Yes! Now Riley can get some sleep.
[Fear sobbing] I miss the jar!
Joy doesn’t get it.
Without our projections, we won’t be prepared.
Tomorrow’s game is everything.
Coach will either make us a Fire Hawk
or doom us to a friendless future.
I wish we knew what Coach thought about us.
[gasps] Her notebook!
Yes! That’s a great idea!
[Dani] Everything Coach thinks about you is in there.
All we got to do is sneak into her office
and read it.
[Embarrassment whimpers]
[Anxiety] Come on, Riley. Move those feet.
She doesn’t want to?
Uh, are we pushing her too hard?
We got to see what’s in the notebook!
It’s the only way for us to know how we can do better.
Oh, Riley, no.
[whimpers] Oh. Hmm.
[whispering] Joy? Come in, Joy.
[Joy loudly, over radio] Sadness?
[muffled] Sadness, what’s wrong?
Why is Riley awake again?
Over.
[Fear screaming]
Anxiety is making Riley break into the coach’s office.
What?
She knows better than that.
She will once we get her Sense of Self back.
Sadness, you have to stop her.
Just don’t get caught.
Over!
[radio beeps]
[♪ tense music playing]
[door clatters]
[Sadness] Psst.
Psst!
[distant clattering]
[footsteps approaching]
[door closes]
[gasps]
[footsteps approaching]
[lock clicking]
[breathing heavily]
[Anxiety and Envy exclaiming]
[sighs in relief]
No, Riley, no.
[Ennui yawns]
[yawns]
Oh!
[sniffles]
Why did she stop?
[gasps] Sadness?
Ennui! Where’s your phone?
Ooh, la, la, my phone? Where is my phone?
Seriously? This is not happening!
No, no, no!
Okay, she’s got to be here somewhere. Find her.
Gotcha!
[books clatter]
[sighs in relief]
Sadness.
[Sadness] Uh… No.
[sighs] I know Riley sneaking around feels wrong.
This isn’t who Riley is.
It’s not about who Riley is.
It’s about who she needs to be.
[gasps]
[gasps] “Not ready yet”?
Wait. Coach already decided?
We’re not making the team?
No. We have one day left.
What do we do? What can we do?
Okay, okay, okay.
What would Val do?
Uh, well, we’re just gonna have to change Coach’s mind.
Which means we’re gonna need ideas.
Lots of them.
[thunder rumbles distantly]
[thunder rumbling]
Ow!
Oh, no. It’s a Brainstorm!
[all screaming]
[Fear] Too close!
Hog the puck?
Trash talk the other team?
[laughing] Ooh!
Yes!
We can’t let these bad ideas get to Riley. [grunts]
Joy!
[rumbling]
Smash as many as you can!
Joy!
Joy!
[all screaming]
I’ll start sorting these into ideas I wish I’d thought of.
Oh, no, no, no. None of these are good enough.
We need more. Get more!
[grunting]
Get on the balloon!
[grunting] Whoa!
[grunting, spits]
This is worse than the broccoli!
[breathing heavily]
[gasps] Quick! Grab an idea.
[grunts, screams]
Whoa!
These ideas are too small.
These ideas are too small!
We need something bigger.
[gasps]
That’s our way out!
[panting]
Ready?
[Joy grunts]
[all screaming]
Joy! We need this idea!
If Riley takes one of these ideas,
it could be a disaster!
Joy, the only way out is up.
[all screaming]
[all grunt]
[thuds]
That’s a big idea!
Whoa! I like it.
Oh, no.
[all screaming]
Hold me!
Seriously. Hold me!
[Disgust screaming]
[Anger screaming]
[Disgust] Fear, you have a parachute?
[Fear] Uh, yes.
The real question is, why don’t any of you?
[Disgust laughs]
[Fear] Land! Yes!
[Disgust] Yes!
[Fear] Stuck the landing!
We did it!
We made it!
[Anger laughing]
Come on, to the Back of the Mind!
You’re finished, Anxiety!
[warbling weakly]
Coach is right. Riley isn’t ready.
But we’re so close to a new Riley who is.
This is what we’re missing.
We show them we’re a Fire Hawk who will do whatever it takes.
[♪ thrilling music playing]
Finally, we’re one of them!
What do you think, Sadness?
Well, I…
Awesome!
[Envy] Red is really our color.
[Bree] Yeah, no,
I mean, it’s so much fun.
[Bree chuckling]
Okay, it’s giving jealousy. I’m sorry.
[scoffs] They wouldn’t know cool
if it hit them in the face.
[Valentina] Hey, Michigan.
Oh! Rocking the red, huh?
Yes!
We are in.
[chuckles] I hope it’s okay.
I know I’m not officially a Fire Hawk yet,
but I figured since we’re on the same team
we should match, right?
Yeah, yeah, that’s fine.
Did you, um, sleep last night?
No, how could I? Big game today!
You mean the camp scrimmage?
See? I told you not to freak her out.
You’re all good, okay? I see you’re in your zone.
Get ready to score some goals.
Yeah! I will!
Val scored two goals in the scrimmage
to become a Fire Hawk.
And you know what’s better than two?
Three!
Three!
I was just about to say that.
We were about to say that at the same time.
But how are we gonna score three goals?
The new Riley will handle anything.
And I think this is the finishing touch.
[panel chimes]
I’ll be right back.
[grunting]
Come on!
We’re so close.
[all grunting]
The Sense of Self is just on top of that mount… [gasps]
That is a lot.
This is more than I remember sending back here.
Oh, when she walked into
that glass door at that party. Oof!
Yeah, and breaking Grandma’s favorite plate.
Thank goodness these aren’t part of her.
[Fear] Phew!
[Disgust] Oh, yeah.
[giggling]
[crackling]
[squeals]
[grunts] There it is.
[grunting]
[warbling]
[Riley echoing, fading] I’m a good person.
Oh, no.
[Anxiety panting]
Yes. Come on, come on.
Here we go!
[Riley echoing] I’m not good enough.
What?
[echoing] I’m not good enough.
[ground rumbling]
[Riley echoing] I’m not good enough.
[Embarrassment whimpering]
Are you sure…
Don’t worry.
It’s just that she knows that there’s always room
for selfimprovement.
She’ll be fine.
Sadness, we have the Sense of Self.
[over radio] Bring us back!
Sadness, do you copy?
[struggling]
Psst. Psst!
[Riley echoing] I’m not good enough.
Oh…
Okay, I can work with this.
I just need to recalibrate
the console and make sure it’s ready.
Just no more surprises.
Okay, this one goes here. Check.
That one goes there. Check.
Not exactly there. Here.
Come on. Turn it up a little bit.
It’s got to be absolutely perfect.
That one is definitely wrong. What is happening?
[radio chirps]
[Joy] Sadness, now!
[screaming]
[pipes clang]
[clattering]
Oh…
Joy…
Oh, no!
Uh…
[pipes clattering]
[all scream]
[memories clattering]
[Riley distorted] I’m a good person.
[echoing] I’m not good enough.
That was our only way back.
What do we do?
We were so close.
Joy. Joy!
Where are you going?
[blows whistle]
Twentyeight!
Andersen, tripping!
[blows whistle]
Twentyeight!
Andersen, tripping!
[rewinding]
[fastforwarding]
[blows whistle]
Twentyeight!
Andersen, tripping!
[sighs]
[teacher] I expected better, Riley.
[fastforwarding]
[Joy pants, stutters]
That’s not…
[stutters, pants]
What…
[memories overlapping]
Come on, please.
What am I missing?
[Riley distorted] I’m a good person.
[Sense of Self warbles]
Joy…
so what do we do now?
I don’t know.
I don’t know how to stop Anxiety.
Maybe we can’t.
Maybe this is what happens when you grow up.
You feel less joy.
But I do know this.
Riley will never be herself
if we don’t get this back to Headquarters.
Fast.
How?
[blows whistle]
Have a good game, Riley.
You too.
[Riley echoing] I’m not good enough.
[players grunting]
[Riley grunting]
[player] Whoa!
Yes! Go, go, go!
[Dani] Riley, I’m open. Pass it, pass it!
[Riley echoing] I’m not good enough.
[Riley grunts]
[buzzer sounds]
Yeah, Michigan!
Leave some for the rest of us, huh?
Yes! One down, two to go.
[Disgust] Okay, so how do we get our Sense of Self
from here to there?
[Anger groans]
I have an idea, but I really don’t like it.
Anger, Riley needs us.
Oh, Pouchy!
[echoing]
Well, what are you waiting for? Say the words!
Oh, Pouchy!
[echoing]
[♪ amusing music plays]
Hi, everybody. I’m Pouchy!
We know.
Pouchy, we need to get back to Headquarters.
Do you have anything that can help us?
I have lots of items.
Which one do you think will work the best?
A roll of tape,
a rubber ducky…
[Anger] No time!
[Pouchy gagging]
Huh?
Hmm.
Seriously, Pouchy? Dynamite?
Don’t you have, like, a jetpack or a plane
or something that’s going to help us?
What do you think, I have everything in here?
I offered you the rubber ducky,
I offered you the tape.
I know what to do.
But we’re gonna need a lot more dynamite.
You know what? Good luck… [gagging]
[players shouting indistinctly]
[Anxiety] Come on, Riley. Get the puck!
Take it, take it!
[Riley echoing] I’m not good enough.
[Riley grunting]
Michigan, what are you doing?
We’re on the same team!
[panting]
[Riley grunts]
[buzzer sounds]
Yes!
Well, Dani might be a little mad at us,
but they’ll all forgive us when we make the team.
Come on, Riley. One more goal.
[Disgust] Uh… Hold on, Joy. We’re gonna
blow up this cliff?
Yep!
And then we’ll ride an avalanche
of bad memories back to Headquarters?
Yeah!
And how do we keep the bad memories
from forming bad beliefs?
I don’t know.
Um, yeah! What could go wrong? I’m in!
Ready?
For Riley.
Let’s do it.
Here we come, Riley.
[explosion]
[rumbling]
[♪ thrilling music playing]
Jump on!
[all grunt]
[all screaming]
[grunting]
[screams]
[Riley grunts]
Come on!
[grunts]
Aw, man!
[Riley grunts]
[Riley echoing] I’m not good enough.
[Anxiety] You have to score!
[players shouting]
[both grunt]
[Grace exclaims]
[Riley grunts, groans in frustration]
[blows whistle]
Andersen, penalty box, two minutes.
No!
Grace, are you okay?
[panting]
We hurt Grace.
It all happened so fast. I didn’t even see her.
[Riley panting]
[Riley echoing] I’m not good enough.
Oh, no. What did I do?
[breathing heavily]
No, no.
I can fix it, I can fix it.
[heart palpitating]
[memories clattering]
[Sense of Self warbling]
[gasps]
[grunting]
[grunts]
[Disgust gasping]
[Joy grunts, gasps]
[coughing]
[teacher] I expected better, Riley.
Wait… No!
[grunts] Come on.
[Riley echoing] I’m not good enough.
Come on, Riley.
Get it together.
[Anxiety] Come on, Riley, get it together.
I’m not good enough.
[palpitations intensify]
You have to score, Riley!
Or this will all
have been for nothing!
[whooshing]
Anxiety, you’re putting too much pressure on her.
[Envy grunts]
[grunting]
[all grunting]
[hyperventilating]
[heart palpitating]
[whistle blows]
[coach] Okay, let’s take a breather!
[Joy gasps]
[buttons clacking]
Sadness!
Joy! Help!
[all grunting]
Come on! We can do this!
It’s not working!
It’s Anxiety.
[Joy groans in frustration]
[grunting]
[strains, grunts, yells]
Anxiety, stop! [gasps]
You don’t get to choose who Riley is.
Anxiety…
you need to let her go.
[grunts]
[panting]
[Sense of Self warbles]
[Riley echoing] I’m a good person.
[breathing heavily]
[heart palpitating rapidly]
[Anxiety] Joy.
I’m sorry.
I was just trying to protect her.
But you’re right.
We don’t get to choose who Riley is.
We keep the best and toss the rest.
[blows whistle]
Twentyeight!
Andersen, tripping!
[trilling]
[Riley grunts]
[screams]
[trilling intensifies]
[groaning]
[heart palpitating rapidly]
[warbling]
[Riley echoing] I’m a good person.
[shatters]
Joy! What are you doing?
[breathing rapidly]
[heart palpitating rapidly]
[Riley echoing] I’m selfish.
I’m kind.
I’m not good enough.
I’m a good person.
I need to fit in…
[panting]
[Riley] …but I want to be myself.
I’m brave, but I get scared.
Success is everything. I make mistakes.
I’m nice. I’m mean.
I’m a good friend.
I’m a terrible friend. I am strong.
I’m weak. I need help sometimes.
[breathing rapidly]
[palpitations recede]
[exhales]
[gasps]
[breathing rapidly]
[exhales]
[inhales deeply, exhales]
[players clamoring]
[sighs]
[door opens]
Riley, you okay?
Yeah.
I mean… no.
I was such a jerk to you guys.
When you guys told me you were going to a different school,
I freaked out.
And… [sighs]
I’m so sorry.
If you don’t want to be friends anymore…
I get it.
But…
I really hope that you can forgive me.
Someday.
[♪ hopeful music playing]
[coach blows whistle]
[coach] Let’s go, ladies!
Come on.
We’ve got a game to finish.
[faint chiming, clinking]
[gasps]
Joy…
Riley wants you.
[sighs]
[players clamoring]
[players cheering]
[Valentina] Riley!
[♪ uplifting music playing]
[Sofia] Yes!
[player] Whoo!
[players laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
[all laughing]
Hey, Minnesota,
how long are you gonna stare at your phone?
It’s almost 2:00.
Coach is gonna post the list any minute.
Okay. 2:00 p.m. That’s in…
Six minutes.
And what happens if we don’t become a Fire Hawk?
Well, thanks for asking, Joy. I’ll tell you.
First, Mom and Dad are very disappointed.
We don’t go pro,
and we find work as an ethnomusicologist…
even though we don’t really know what that is.
We have no friends, and we die alone.
[screams]
Okay, okay.
None of that is happening right now.
Is it?
No.
Great! So why don’t we take a seat in our special chair.
Yeah, that’s a great idea. [sighs in relief]
See? Isn’t that better?
[distorted] Oh, yeah, that’s the stuff.
We can’t control whether Riley makes the team.
But what can we control?
Well, um… Oh!
[cup clattering]
Riley has a Spanish test tomorrow. We need to study.
Oh! You’re right.
We totally…
Olvidamos!
What’s that mean?
“Forgot.”
[Fear] Someone paid attention in class.
[Disgust] I never would’ve thought of that.
You’re clearly an expert.
[Envy] Muchas gracias.
Oh, thanks, guys.
Plus, we followed our new
varsity caliber training program.
Oh, I wish I thought of that.
Newsflash, you did!
Wait, you’re right, I did. [chuckles]
I’m jealous of myself. Thanks for the reminder.
[male voice] You’re welcome!
Who said that?
It’s my new buddy, Pouchy.
Hi, everybody. I’m Pouchy!
Confetti if we make the team!
Good idea. Ah!
[party horn blows]
That’s great, but either way, we love our girl.
Confetti if we don’t!
[party horn blows]
[Fear coughs]
[phone vibrates]
[gasps]
Oh, is it Coach’s email?
No. It’s Bree and Grace. [chuckles]
Aw. I miss those girls.
Oh. Remember when Bree and Grace, and us used to…
You’re still early.
No, no, no. Too early.
Go downstairs.
I’ll just be downstairs if you need me.
[Joy] It’s 3 minutes to 2:00.
She’s got this.
‘Cause she’s got us.
Ooh, yeah! Right? ‘Cause she’s… [nervously] Maybe?
All right, Embarrassment.
Everybody, look at Embarrassment!
[whimpers]
Hey, look, if you don’t make it this year,
there’s always next year.
I know.
I love our girl.
How could you not?
She’s super smart.
[Sadness] And great at hockey.
[Disgust] She’s really creative.
She can be bored, but never boring.
But she can be a little sarcastic from time to time.
[Fear] She can have really bad ideas.
[Anger] Occasionally, she can do the wrong thing.
[Joy] And sometimes, she can be too hard on herself.
But every bit of Riley makes her who she is.
And we love all of our girl.
Every messy, beautiful piece of her.
[phone vibrates]
[gasps]
[♪ hopeful music ends]
[♪ upbeat music playing]
So, Riley, how was camp?
Okay, we talked about this. We tell them everything.
Uh…
But what about sneaking
into Coach’s office?
What about hitting Grace?
Remember the lying?
Are we gonna tell her about the Fire Hawks?
She doesn’t need to know.
Objection.
Pardon. Excusez moi.
[console chimes]
It was good.
She goes away for three days and all we get is, “good”?
And what about the red in her hair?
Did she join a gang?
Welcome back, Anxiety.
She goes away for three days and all we get is, “good”?
Yeah. Sounds right. Back to the game.
[commentator] With a nice pass over to Reeves, comes across center ice.
Down to the line. Oh, what a move!

What’s the secret?
[sighs wearily]
We burn hole in rug.
Really? That’s it? Whew!
I thought you were gonna say the time we peed in the pool.
[whimpers]
Oh, no, wait.
And he’s gone.
