Voice: (O.S.) (talking to the memories) Ohhh, look at you, you're a KEEPER!

Joy: Huh?

[Joy sees a strange figure up ahead, gathering memories.]

Voice: I will take you, but not you. (beat) Oh who am I kidding, I can't leave you!

Joy: Hello!

The figure sees Joy -- and bolts.

Joy: (CONT'D) Wait! Hey, wait! Stop! Joy chases after him.

[Joy rounds a corner to find the figure crouched on the ground, hiding his face in his hands like a three year old.]

Joy: Excuse me...?

Bing Bong: (jumping up; cornered) Ahhhh! Uh, I was looking for, uh-- (grabs a memory) --DIVERSION!

He THROWS IT and makes a run for it.

Bing Bong: (CONT'D) Ha ha! So long, sucker!

He immediately crashes into a cart of memories.

Bing Bong: (CONT'D) Ow! Oww, I hurt all over.

Joy Wait. I know you.

Bing Bong: No you don't. I get that a lot, I look like a lot of people.

Joy: No, I do! Bing Bong! Riley's Imaginary Friend!

Bing Bong: You really DO know me?

Joy: Well of course! Riley loved playing with you, you two were best friends! Oh! You would know. We're trying to get back to Headquarters...

Bing Bong: Headquarters? You guys are from Headquarters?

Joy: (mock modesty) Well, yeah. I'm Joy. This is Sadness.

Bing Bong: You're Joy? THE Joy?

Joy: Mm-hmm.

Bing Bong: Well, what the heck are you doing out here?

Joy: That's a good question! You want to answer that, Sadness?

Sadness: Okay. I dunno.

Bing Bong: Without you, Riley won't ever be happy. We can't have that, we gotta get you back! I'll tell you what, follow me.

Joy: Oh, thank you!

Bing Bong leads them on through the memory shelves.

Joy: It is so great to see you again. I gotta tell you, I am such a huge fan of your work. Do you remember when you and Riley were in a band?

FLASH CUTS of their adventures: *Riley bangs on pots and pans, Bing Bong plays his trunk.

Joy: (V.O.) I went to all of your concerts.

Bing Bong: (V.O.) Yeah, I blow a mean nose.

*Bing Bong runs on ceiling, Riley chases after him.

Joy: (V.O.) Watching you play tag was such a treat.

Bing Bong: (V.O.) Two-time world champ.

*Riley and Bing Bong sit in her wagon ("rocket").

Joy: (V.O.) Oh, and remember your rocket?!

Bing Bong: (V.O.) Of course! It runs on song power.

Joy: That's right, your theme song! (singing) Who's your friend who likes to play?

Bing Bong: (sings) BING BONG BING BONG!
