بخش 03

Thank you, Riley

I know it can be tough moving to a new place,

but we’re happy to have you here

All right, everyone, get out your history books and turn to chapter seven

Can I say that curse word now

No

One, two, three

Okay

I got them

Where are we

Long Term Memory

Wait

Goofball Island

Riley’s Islands of Personality

They’re all down

This is bad

We

We can fix this

We just have to get back to Headquarters, plug the Core Memories in, and Riley will be back to normal

Riley has no Core Memories

No Personality Islands and no

What What is it

You

You’re not in Headquarters

Without you, Riley can’t be happy

We got to get you back up there

I’m coming, Riley

So, as it turns out, the green trash can is not recycling, it’s for greens

Like compost And eggshells

And the blue one is recycling

And the black one is trash

Riley is acting so weird

Why is she acting so weird

What do you expect

All the Islands are down

Joy would know what to do

That’s it

Until she gets back, we just do what Joy would do

Great idea Anger, Fear, Disgust,

how are we supposed to be happy

Hey, Riley I’ve got good news

I found a junior hockey league right here in San Francisco

And get this: tryouts are tomorrow after school

What luck, right

Hockey

What do we do

Guys, this is

You pretend to be Joy

Won’t it be great to be back out on the ice

Yeah, that sounds fantastic

What was that

That wasn’t anything like Joy

Because I’m not Joy

Yeah, no kidding

Did you guys pick up on that

Something’s wrong

Totally

Should we ask her

Let’s probe

But keep it subtle, so she doesn’t notice

So, how was the first day of school

She’s probing us

I’m done

You pretend to be Joy

What

Okay

It was fine, I guess

I don’t know

Very smooth

That was just like Joy

Something is definitely going on

She’s never acted like this before

What should we do

We’re going to find out what’s happening

But we’ll need support

Signal the husband

With a nice pass over to Reeves, comes across and nice

She’s looking at us

What did she say

What

Sorry, sir

No one was listening

Is it garbage night

We left the toilet seat up

What What is it, woman

What

He’s making that stupid face again

I could strangle him right now

Signal him again

So, Riley, how was school

You got to be kidding me

Seriously

For this we gave up that Brazilian helicopter pilot

Move

I’ll be Joy

School was great, all right

Riley

Is everything okay

Sir, she just rolled her eyes at us

What is her deal

All right, make a show of force

I don’t want to have to put “the foot” down

No, not the foot

Riley, I do not like this new attitude

I’ll show you attitude, old man

No No, no, no

Stay happy

What is your problem

Just leave me alone

Sir, reporting high levels of sass

Take it to defcon Two

You heard that, gentlemen

Defcon Two

Listen, young lady, I don’t know where this disrespectful attitude came from

You want a piece of this, pops

Come and get it

Yeah, well Well

Here it comes

Prepare the foot

Keys to safety position

Ready to launch on your command, sir

Just shut up

Fire

That’s it

Go to your room

Now

The foot is down

The foot is down

Good job, gentlemen

That could have been a disaster

Well, that was a disaster

Come fly with me, gatinha

We’re going to walk out there On that

It’s the quickest way back

But it’s right over the Memory Dump

If we fall, we’ll be forgotten forever

We have to do this for Riley

Just follow my footsteps

Okay

It’s not that high

It’s totally fine

Hey

So, things got a little out of hand downstairs

Do you want to talk about it

Come on, where’s my happy girl

Monkey

He’s trying to start up Goofball

Come on

I get it

You need some alone time

We’ll talk later

We have a major problem

Joy, where are you

We lost Goofball Island

That means she can lose Friendship and Hockey and Honesty and Family

You can fix this, right, Joy

I

I don’t know

But we have to try

Okay, come on

Riley’s gone to sleep

Which is a good thing

When you think about it because nothing else bad can happen while she’s asleep

We’ll be back to Headquarters before she wakes up

We’ll just go across Friendship Island

We’ll never make it

No

No, no, no

Don’t obsess over the weight of life’s problems

Remember the funny movie where the dog dies

Sadness, we don’t have time for this

We’ll just have to go around

Take the scenic route

Wait, Joy, you could get lost in there

Think positive

Okay

I’m positive you will get lost in there

That’s Long Term Memory

An endless warren of corridors and shelves

I read about it in the manuals

The manuals

The manuals

You read the manuals

Yeah

So you know the way back to Headquarters

I guess

You are my map

Let’s go

Lead on, my map

Show me where we’re going

Okay

Only I’m too sad to walk

Just give me a few hours

Which way Left

Right

No I mean, go left

I said left was right Like “correct”

Okay

This actually feels kind of nice

Okay, here we go

We’ll be back to Headquarters before morning

We can do it

This will be easy

This is working

This is not working

Are we getting close

Yeah, just another right

And a left and then another

left and

Are you sure you know where we’re going

Because we seem to be walking away from Headquarters

Riley’s awake

Don’t touch Remember

If you touch them, they stay sad

Sorry, I won’t

Starting now

I can’t take much more of this

Forget them

Mind workers

But, Joy, we’re almost

Phone numbers

We don’t need all these

They’re in her phone

Excuse me, hi

Just forget all of that Please

Forget it

I need to find Friendship Island

Look at this

Four years of piano lessons

Yeah, it looks pretty faded

You know what

Save Chopsticks and Heart and Soul, get rid of the rest

Are you

US Presidents

What do you think

Yeah, just keep Washington, Lincoln and the fat one

Forget them

Hey

You can’t throw those away

Those are perfectly good memories

The names of every “Cutie Pie Princess” doll

Yes

That is critical information

Glitterstorm, Honeypants

Forget them

Hey Bring those back

They’re in the dump

Nothing comes back from the dump

Yeah Look, lady, this is our job, okay

When Riley doesn’t care about a memory, it fades

Fades

Happens to the best of them

Yeah, except for this bad boy

This one will never fade

TripleDent gum Will make you smile

The song from the gum commercial

You know, sometimes we send that one up to Headquarters for no reason

It just plays in Riley’s head over and over again

Like a million times

Let’s watch it again

TripleDent gum

Yeah, I know

We all know the song

Okay Yeah, real catchy

Okay

Hey, what do you think Should we do it

Yeah

Okay, here we go

TripleDent gum

What the

This again

Wait

Do you know how to get to Friendship Island

TripleDent gum

Do you like it there

Did you feel any earthquakes

Is the bridge cool

Yeah, it’s good

What happened with the playoffs

We won the first game

Coach says we might actually go to the finals this year

And we’ve got this new girl on the team She’s so cool

She did not just say that

A new girl

Meg has a new friend already

Hey, hey Stay happy

We do not want to lose any more islands here, guys

We can pass the puck to each other without even looking

It’s like mind reading

You like to read minds, Meg

I got something for you to read, right here

Let’s just be calm for one second

I heard they have parrots

I’ve got to go

What

I got to go

Okay, could you just please tell me which way is

Oh, no

Friendship Island

What

Not Friendship

Riley loved that one

And now it’s gone

Goodbye, friendship

Hello, loneliness

We’ll just have to go the long way

Yeah

The long, long, long, long way

I’m ready

There’s got to be a better way

Look at you

I will take you, but not you

Who am I kidding

I can’t leave you

Hello

Wait Hey Wait

Wait

Stop
