SADNESS: How about we wake her up?
JOY: Sadness, that’s ridiculous. How could we possibly...
JOY (CONT’D): How about we wake her up!?
SADNESS: Great idea, Joy.
JOY: Thanks. Come on!
JOY: Whoa! This place is huge.
SADNESS: Yeah, it looks so much smaller than I expected.
BING BONG: Whoa! “I Can Fly”? I love that one!
JOY: Rainbow Unicorn! She’s RIGHT THERE! Joy tries to play it cool as they walk past.
SADNESS: My friend says you’re famous. She wants your autograph.
JOY: No, no, Sadness, don’t bother Miss Unicorn, okay?(to unicorn) Sorry, she’s from outta town. So embarrassing, right?
JOY (CONT’D): I loved you in Fairy Dream Adventure Part 7. Okay, bye. I love you.
BING BONG: Huh. Wonder what that means. Oh well, let’s go in! DREAM DIRECTOR (O.S.): Set up the classroom set! Today’s memories are in, we’ve got a lot to work with here. Riley dumped her best friend, had a miserable day at school, and quit hockey. The writers have put together a killer script!
Joy cringes at the news as the three hide behind costumes.
FEAR: Just because Joy and Sadness are gone, I have to do stupid dream duty...
JOY: Okay, how are we gonna wake her up?
SADNESS: Well, she wakes up sometimes when she has a scary dream. We could scare her.
JOY: Scare her? No no, she’s been through enough already.
SADNESS: But Joy--
JOY: Sadness you may know your way around down here, but I know Riley! We’re gonna make her so happy she’ll wake up with exhilaration! We’ll excite her awake!
SADNESS: That’s never happened before.
JOY: Ooh, Riley loves dogs. Put this on!
SADNESS: I don’t think that’ll work.
JOY: Bing Bong.
BING BONG: Yeah?
JOY: Don’t let anything happen to these.
BING BONG: Got it!
DREAM DIRECTOR: Mm hm. Add the reality distortion filter.
DREAM DIRECTOR (CONT’D): Love it.(to actors) Remember, play to the camera, everyone! Riley is the camera! Makeup, get out of there, we are on in 5,4,3...
EXTRA: Hello class. Before we begin today’s pop quiz, which counts for 90% of your final grade...
FEAR: Man, she is one bad actress.
EXTRA: ...I want to introduce our new student. Riley. Would you like to stand up and introduce yourself?
DREAM DIRECTOR: Camera. The camera adjusts as if Riley is standing.
DREAM DIRECTOR (CONT’D): And... cue Riley.
RILEY VOICE: My name’s Riley Andersen, I’m from Minnesota and now I live here.
DREAM STUDENT #1 : Ew, look! Her teeth are falling out!
FEAR: (dismissive) Pff, teeth falling out, I'm used to that one. Let me guess, we have no pants on.
DREAM STUDENT #2: Hey look! She came to school with no pants on! The camera adjusts down to reveal Riley’s bare legs. Riley’ shands try to block them.
FEAR: Called it!
JOY: Ready?
SADNESS: I don’t think this happy thing is going to work. But if we scare her--
JOY: Just follow my lead. Here we go! Joy yanks Sadness onto the set.
DREAM DIRECTOR: Who is that?
FEAR: What’s going on?
JOY: (to Bing Bong) Psst. You’re on! Go!
Bing Bong pulls a rope. Balloons drop! A colorful backdrop!
JOY (CONT’D): Woo! Let’s party! Let’s dance. Woo!
FEAR: Hey, a party!pakkkkkkkkkkkkkk
INT. RILEY’S ROOM Riley is still sound asleep..
