The Needle Pit

You're flying outside the hive, talking
to humans that attack our homes


with power washers and M-80s!
One-eighth a stick of dynamite!


She saved my life!
And she understands me.


This is over!


Eat this.


This is not over! What was that?


- They call it a crumb.
- It was so stingin' stripey!


And that's not what they eat.
That's what falls off what they eat!


- You know what a Oinnabon is?
- No.


It's bread and cinnamon and frosting.
They heat it up...


Sit down!


...really hot!
- Listen to me!


We are not them! We're us.
There's us and there's them!


Yes, but who can deny
the heart that is yearning?


There's no yearning.
Stop yearning. Listen to me!

You have got to start thinking bee,
my friend. Thinking bee!


- Thinking bee.
- Thinking bee.


Thinking bee! Thinking bee!
Thinking bee! Thinking bee!


There he is. He's in the pool.


You know what your problem is, Barry?


I gotta start thinking bee?


How much longer will this go on?


It's been three days!
Why aren't you working?


I've got a lot of big life decisions
to think about.


What life? You have no life!
You have no job. You're barely a bee!


Would it kill you
to make a little honey?


Barry, come out.
Your father's talking to you.


Martin, would you talk to him?


Barry, I'm talking to you!


You coming?


Got everything?


All set!


Go ahead. I'll catch up.


Don't be too long.

Watch this!


Vanessa!


- We're still here.
- I told you not to yell at him.


He doesn't respond to yelling!


- Then why yell at me?
- Because you don't listen!


I'm not listening to this.


Sorry, I've gotta go.


- Where are you going?
- I'm meeting a friend.


A girl? Is this why you can't decide?


Bye.


I just hope she's Bee-ish.


They have a huge parade
of flowers every year in Pasadena?


To be in the Tournament of Roses,
that's every florist's dream!


Up on a float, surrounded
by flowers, crowds cheering.


A tournament. Do the roses
compete in athletic events?


No. All right, I've got one.
How come you don't fly everywhere?


It's exhausting. Why don't you
run everywhere? It's faster.


Yeah, OK, I see, I see.
All right, your turn.


TiVo. You can just freeze live TV?
That's insane!


You don't have that?


We have Hivo, but it's a disease.
It's a horrible, horrible disease.


Oh, my.


Dumb bees!


You must want to sting all those jerks.

okay done with that

im watching inside out so ill start with that script

BLACK.
JOY (V.O.)
Do you ever look at someone and
wonder, “What is going on inside their head?” Well, I know. I know Riley’s head.
WHITE. FADE IN...
INT. HOSPITAL - DAY
A newborn baby swaddled in a blanket, held by her parents. Push in... and ZOOM IN TO HER HEAD.
INT. HEADQUARTERS
Out of the blackness steps a glowing figure. This is JOY. The room is black except for a bright CONSCIOUSNESS SCREEN.
JOY Hmm?
In front of Joy is a single large BUTTON. She pushes it.
INT. HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS
The baby gurgles and wiggles happily.
JOY (V.O.) And there she was...
INT. HEADQUARTERS - CONTINUOUS ON THE CONSCIOUSNESS SCREEN:
MOM Hello, Riley.
DAD
Oh look at you. Aren’t you a little
bundle of joy?
A GOLDEN GLOWING SPHERE rolls from behind the screen. It’s a MEMORY of what we just saw: Mom and Dad cooing at Riley.
JOY Whoa.
INSIDE OUT 2.
Joy rolls the memory on its track, illuminating the room. She turns back to the button and pushes it again.
INT. HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS Baby Riley gurgles happily.
JOY (V.O.)
It was amazing. Just Riley and me,
forever...
INT. HEADQUARTERS - CONTINUOUS Baby Riley CRIES.
JOY (V.O.) ...for 33 seconds.
Joy looks to her side. There’s a new, droopy, blue character touching the button.
SADNESS I’m Sadness.
JOY
Oh, hello. I’m Joy.
Joy tries to muscle past Sadness to press the button.
JOY (CONT’D)
Can I just... if you could... I
just want to fix that. Thanks. The two struggle.
JOY (V.O.)
And that was just the beginning.
Headquarters only got more crowded from there.
INT. MINNESOTA HOUSE - DAY
Riley, now age 3, barrels through the house pulling a wagon.
INT. HEADQUARTERS
ON THE SCREEN: Riley’s POV as she runs through the house. Fear “supervises” Joy, who drives.

FEAR
Very nice. Okay, looks like you got
this. Very good, sharp turn... Riley approaches a POWER CORD on the ground.
FEAR (CONT’D) Ahh! Look out!!! No!
Fear leaps to the console.
JOY (V.O.)
That’s Fear. He’s really good at
keeping Riley safe.
INT. MINNESOTA HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Riley stops. She cautiously steps over the power cord.
FEAR (O.S.)
Easy... we’re good! We’re good.
INT. HEADQUARTERS
A fear memory (purple) rolls in.
JOY/SADNESS Whew!/Nice job.
FEAR
Thank you! Thank you very much.
Joy jumps back into driving position.
JOY And we’re back!
INT. MINNESOTA HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Riley continues her sprint through the house. Suddenly she’s picked up.
INT. KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS
PLOP into highchair. Bib. Tray. Bowl.
DAD
Here we go. Alright, open.
INSIDE OUT 4. Dad lifts a spoonful of food to Riley’s mouth.
INT. HEADQUARTERS
JOY
Hmm. This looks new.
FEAR/SADNESS
Do you think it’s safe?/What is it?
ON THE SCREEN: a spoonful of broccoli. DISGUST enters.
DISGUST
Okay, caution! There is a dangerous
smell, people. Hold on, what is that?
JOY (V.O.)
This is Disgust. She basically
keeps Riley from being poisoned, physically and socially.
DISGUST
That is not brightly colored or
shaped like a dinosaur... Hold on guys... It’s broccoli!
Disgust GAGS and pulls a lever. INT. KITCHEN
YOUNG RILEY
Riley swats the broccoli. It flies into Dad’s face.
INT. HEADQUARTERS
A disgust memory (green) rolls in.
DISGUST
Well, I just saved our lives. Yeah.
You're welcome.

INT. KITCHEN
DAD
Riley, if you don’t eat your dinner,
you’re not going to get any dessert.
INT. HEADQUARTERS
ANGER looks up from reading his newspaper.
ANGER
Wait. Did he just say we couldn’t
have dessert?
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,

INT. KITCHEN

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!
EXT. MINNESOTA LAKE, WINTER - DAY
Two-and-a-half-year-old Riley shoots a hockey puck across the ice. She trips and accidentally scores a goal.

INSIDE OUT
7.
MOM/DAD (cheering)
Heeey! Would you look at that?! We got a future center here!
INT. HEADQUARTERS
A super-bright CORE MEMORY rolls in.
It rolls to the Core Memory Holder. Clicking into position, a LIGHTLINE shoots out. The Emotions follow it to the back window and watch a new ISLAND OF PERSONALITY form.
JOY (V.O.)
And each core memory powers a
different aspect of Riley’s personality. Like Hockey Island!
Five ISLANDS OF PERSONALITY float in space, miles from Headquarters, connected by LIGHTLINES -- their power sources.
JOY (V.O.)
Goofball Island is my personal
favorite.
INT. MINNESOTA LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Toddler Riley runs naked from the bathroom, underpants on her head, laughing wildly. Dad chases her with a towel.

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?
