INT. RILEY'S ROOM - NIGHT

Riley drops her gear and throws herself on her sleeping bag while Iroha and her friends just watching her.

INT. HEADQUARTERS

DISGUST

On a scale of one to ten, I give this day an F.

ANGER

Well why don't we quit standing around and DO something?

DISGUST

Like what, genius?

Fear enters with a suitcase.

FEAR

Like quitting! That's what I'm doing.

He stomps on the recall button.

FEAR (CONT'D)

Sure, it's the coward's way out. But this coward is gonna survive!

The tube drops over him, but pummels Fear with dozens of memories. The tube shuts off and retracts. Fear drops to the floor in pain.

DISGUST

Emotions can't quit, genius.

Fear spits up a memory.

DISGUST (CONT'D)

Euch! I thought we were supposed to be keeping Riley happy.

ANGER

Wait a minute. Wait a minute!

Anger runs to the back and rummages through the ideas.

ANGER (CONT'D)

Ah ha!

FEAR

What is it?

ANGER

(holds up the lightbulb) Oh nothing. Just the best idea ever.

DISGUST

What?

ANGER

All the good core memories were made in Minnesota. Ergo, we go back to Minnesota and make more. Ta-da!

FEAR

Wait. You're saying we run away?

ANGER

Well, I wouldn't call it that. I'd call it, "The Happy Core Memory Development Program."

FEAR

You can't be serious.

ANGER

Hey. Our life was perfect until Mom and Dad decided to move to San Fran Stinktown.

FEAR

But, I mean, it's just so drastic!

ANGER

Need I remind you of how great things were there? Our room? Our back yard? Our friends?

He punches up a memory. It plays on the screen.

GUM MEMORY

Tripledent gum will make you smile! Tripledent gum it lasts--

ANGER

Did I ASK for the gum commercial?!?! (he ejects the memory) Anyway, it was better, that's my point.

DISGUST

(considering) Riley was happier in Minnesota...

FEAR

Wait, hold on. Shouldn't we just sleep on this or something?

ANGER

Fine. Let's sleep on it. Because hey, I'm sure jolly fun-filled times are just around the corner.
