PROJECT’S SCRIPT - GROUP 7
- “Inside out” -
SPEAKER SCRIPT
Phúc The first day when entering university is full of excitement and nervousness. It is interesting as we are looking forward to
(Introduction) meeting new friends, new teachers and starting a new chapter of a student's life. Besides, there is a sense of anxiety about
the new environment and the academic program as well. Based on that feeling, our group decided to choose ‘’ Inside out’’ as
the project. In this video, Riley- the main character has just moved to a new school, she is a bit overwhelmed at the campus.
Thus, through Riley we want to transfer the feeling of thrill when being a freshman. Hopefully, this project will become
interesting to the teacher and class.
An Oh, come on. It could be worse.
Marilin Yeah, Joy. We could be lying on the dirty floor. In a bag.
An Okay, I admit it, we had a rough start. But think of all the good things that...
Phúc No, Joy. There's absolutely no reason for Riley to be happy right now. Let us handle this. I say we skip school tomorrow and
lock ourselves in the bedroom.
Marilin We have no clean clothes. I mean, no one should see us.
Hằng Yeah, we could cry until we can't breathe.
Phúc We should lock the door and scream that curse word we know. It's a good one!
An Now hold on! Look, we all have our off days.
Hằng You know... Hi, honey.
Phúc The Mom bad news train is pulling in. Toot-toot!
Hằng Still no moving van. (SCOFFS).
Now they're saying it won't be here till Tuesday, can you believe it?
Phúc Toot-toot-toot!
Marilin Where's Dad?
Hằng On the phone. This new venture is keeping him pretty busy.
Phúc I rest my case!
Hằng Oh, your dad's a little stressed, you know, about getting his new company is up and running.
Phúc Now for a few well-placed withering scowls. (SIGHS)
Hằng I guess all I really want to say is, thank you.
ALL Huh?
Hằng You know, through all this confusion you've stayed... (LAUGHS)
Well, you've stayed our happy girl. Your dad's under a lot of pressure, but if you and I can keep smiling, it would be a big
help. We can do that for him. Right?
An Whoa. Well.
Marilin Yeah, sure.
Hằng What did we do to deserve you? Sweet dreams.
Marilin Good night.
Phúc Well, you can't argue with Mom. Happy it is. Team Happy! Sounds great!
Marilin Totally behind you, Joy
An Looks like we're going into REM. I got Dream Duty, so I'll take care of sending these to Long Term.
Great day today, guys! Oh, sleep well, Team Happy!
- (ALL TALKING AT ONCE)
An All right, what's on tonight, Dream Production?
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Phúc Well, this is it. The new place.
(THUNDER CRASHING)
(VOICES MOANING)
Hằng Come live with me, Riley. (GRUNTS)
Phúc Somebody order a broccoli pizza? Eat me! I'm organic!
An (SIGHS) No! Who is in charge of programming down there? I know I'm not supposed to do this, but... We are not going to
end the day like this.
(RILEY LAUGHING)
An Don't you worry. I'm gonna make sure that tomorrow is another great day. I promise.
(RILEY GIGGLES)
(ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING)
An Hello! Did I wake you?
Phúc Do you have to play that?
An Well, I have to practice. And I don't think of it as playing so much as hugging. Okay, first day of school! Very, very exciting. I
was up late last night figuring out a new plan. Here it is! Fear.
Phúc (GASPS)
An I need a list of all the possible negative outcomes on the first day at a new school.
Phúc Way ahead of you there. Does anyone know how to spell "meteor"?
An Disgust. Make sure Riley stands out today. But also blends in.
Marilin When I'm through, Riley will look so good, the other kids will look at their own outfits and barf.
An Joy.
An Yes, Joy?
An You'll be in charge of the console, keeping Riley happy all day long. And may I add I love your dress? It's adorable. Oh, this
old thing? Thank you so much. I love the way it twirls.
(TRAIN HORN BLOWS)
An Train of thought! Right on schedule.
(TRAIN HONKS HORN)
An Anger. Unload the daydreams. I ordered extra in case things get slow in class.
Phúc It might come in handy. If this new school is full of ring, useless classes. Which it probably will be.
An Oh. Sadness. I have a super important job just for you.
Hằng Really?
An Mmm-hmm. Follow me.
Hằng What are you doing?
An And there. Perfect! This is the circle of sadness. Your job is to make sure that all the sadness stays inside of it.
Hằng So you want me to just stand here?
An Hey, it's not my place to tell you how to do your job. Just make sure that all the sadness stays in the circle! See? You're a pro
at this! Isn't this fun?
Hằng No.
An Atta girl.
All right, everyone, fresh start. We are gonna have a good day, which will turn into a good week, which will turn into a good
year, which turns into a good life!
Hằng So, the big day! New school, new friends, huh?
Marilin I know! I'm kind of nervous, but I'm mostly excited. How do I look? Do you like my shirt?
Hằng Very cute! Are you gonna be okay? You want us to walk with you?
An Mom and Dad? With us in public? No thank you.
An Uh... I'm on it!
Marilin Nope! I'm fine. Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad.
Phúc Have a good day at school, monkey.
(IMITATING MONKEY GRUNTING)
Hằng Have a great day, sweetheart!
Phúc Are you sure we want to do this?
An In we go!
Phúc Okay! Going in! Yes!
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
Marilin Okay, we've got a group of cool girls at two o'clock.
An How do you know?
Marilin Double ears pierced, infinity scarf.
An Whoa. Is she wearing eye shadow?
Marilin Yeah, we want to be friends with them.
An Let's go talk to them!
Marilin Are you kidding? We're not talking to them. We want them to like us.
An Oh. Yeah. Wait, what?
Phúc Almost finished with the potential disasters. Worst scenario is either quicksand, spontaneous combustion, or getting called
on by the teacher. So as long as none of those happen...
An Okay, everybody. We have a new student in class today.
Phúc Are you kidding me? Out of the gate? This is not happening!
An Riley, would you like to tell us something about yourself?
Phúc No! Pretend we can't speak English.
An Don't worry. I got this.
Marilin Uh... Okay. My name is Riley Andersen. I'm from Minnesota, and now I live here.
An And how about Minnesota? Can you tell us something about it? Well, you certainly get a lot more snow than we do.
(LAUGHING)
An She's hilarious!
Marilin Yeah, it gets pretty cold. The lake freezes over, and that's when we play hockey. I'm on a great team. We're called the Prairie
Dogs. My friend Meg plays forward. And my dad's the coach. Pretty much everyone in my family skates. It's kind of a family
tradition. We go out on the lake almost every weekend. Or we did, till I moved away.
An Hey, what gives? Wait, what? Hey, Sadness! You touched a memory? We talked about this.
Hằng Oh, yeah, I know. I'm sorry. Get back in your circle. (SIGHS)
What's going on?
An Why won't it eject?
Phúc Get it out of there, Joy.
Marilin (SNIFFLING) We used to play tag and stuff.
Hằng Cool kids whispering at three o'clock!
Phúc Did you see that look?
An Oh, no.
Phúc They're judging us!
(ALL STRAINING)
An Somebody help me! Grab that... Everybody put...
Marilin But everything's different now. Since we moved.
(SNIFFLES)
Phúc Oh, no! We're crying! At school!
An What? Sadness! What are you doing?
Hằng Oh, no! Oh, I'm sorry!
An Huh?
Phúc (GASPS) It's a Core Memory!
Hằng But it's blue.
(ALL GASP)
An No! Wait! Stop it! No! Ah! No!
Hằng Joy, no. That's a Core Memory!
An Hey!
Hằng Joy, wait!
An Stop it! Let go!
Phúc Ah! The Core Memories!
(EXCLAIMS)
(GASPS)
Phúc Phúc: No, no, no, no! Whoa! Whoa!
(FEAR GASPS)
Hằng 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
Phúc Can I say that curse word now?
(BOTH EXCLAIMING)
(SADNESS SCREAMING)
Hằng Ah!
An Oh, no! One, two, three. Okay. I got them. Where are we? Long Term Memory? Wait… Goofball Island?
Hằng Riley's Islands of Personality. They're all down! Oh! This is bad.
An 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.
Hằng Riley has no Core Memories. No Personality Islands and no…
(GASPS)
An What? What is it?
Hằng You. You're not in Headquarters. Without you, Riley can't be happy. We got to get you back up there
An I'm coming, Riley.
Hằng So, as it turns out, the green trash can is not recycling, it's for greens. Like compost. And eggshells. Mmm. And the blue one is
recycling. And the black one is trash.
Marilin Riley is acting so weird. Why is she acting so weird?
Phúc What do you expect? All the Islands are down.
Marilin Joy would know what to do.
Phúc That's it. Until she gets back, we just do what Joy would do!
Marilin Great idea. Anger, Fear, Disgust, how are we supposed to be happy?
Hằng Hey, Riley. I've got good news! I found a junior hockey league right here in San Francisco. And get this: Try-outs are
tomorrow after school. What luck, right?
Phúc Hockey?
Marilin Uh-oh. What do we do?
Phúc (STUTTERING) Guys, this is... You pretend to be Joy.
Hằng Won't it be great to be back out on the ice?
Marilin Oh, yeah, that sounds fantastic.
Phúc What was that? That wasn't anything like Joy!
Marilin Uh, because I'm not Joy.
Phúc Yeah, no kidding.
An Did you guys pick up on that?
Mmm-hmm. Something's wrong. Totally.
Hằng Should we ask her?
An Let's probe. But keep it subtle, so she doesn't notice.
Hằng So, how was the first day of school?
Phúc She's probing us.
Marilin I'm done. You pretend to be Joy.
Phúc What? Okay. Um, hmm.
Marilin It was fine, I guess. I don't know.
An Oh. Very smooth. That was just like Joy.
Hằng Something is definitely going on.
Marilin She's never acted like this before. What should we do?
An We're going to find out what's happening. But we'll need support. Signal the husband.
Hằng Ahem!
Phúc With a nice pass over to Reeves, comes across... and nice!
(CLEARS THROAT)
Phúc Uh-oh. She's looking at us. Uh, what did she say? What? Oh! Sorry, sir. No one was listening. Is it garbage night? We left the
toilet seat up? What? What is it, woman? What?
An Ugh, he's making that stupid face again.
Hằng I could strangle him right now.
Marilin Signal him again.
Phúc Ah! So, Riley, how was school?
An You got to be kidding me!
Marilin Seriously?
Hằng For this we gave up that Brazilian helicopter pilot?
Phúc Move! I'll be Joy.
