Quote #1
ANGER: Congratulations, San Francisco, you've ruined pizza! First the Hawaiians, and now you.
We're with Anger on this one. When you're dealing with big, sweeping changes, you want to take comfort in old, reliable things like pizza. You don't want organic broccoli pizza; you want a cheesy pie piled high with pepperoni. Maybe even an anchovy or two, if that's how you roll. There's comfort in the familiar.
Quote #2
FEAR: There are at least 37 things for Riley to be scared of right now.
DISGUST: The smell alone is enough to make her gag.
ANGER: I can't believe Mom and Dad moved us here!
JOY: Look, I get it. You guys have concerns, but we've been through worse. Tell you what, let's make a list of all the things Riley should be happy about.
ANGER: Fine. Let's see. This house stinks. Our room stinks.
DISGUST: Pizza is weird here.
SADNESS: Our friends are back home.
FEAR: And all of our stuff is in the missing van!
JOY: Oh, come on. It could be worse.
DISGUST: Yeah, Joy. We could be lying on the dirty floor. In a bag.
Cut to Riley in her sleeping bag on the floor of her empty bedroom.
Here Riley's emotions tick off a laundry list of some of the changes she's been expected to deal with in just her first day in San Francisco. Joy tries to take things over and find the upside of it all, but she's simply outnumbered.
Quote #3
ANGER: There's absolutely no reason for Riley to be happy right now. Let us handle this.
FEAR: I say we skip school tomorrow and lock ourselves in the bedroom.
DISGUST: We have no clean clothes. I mean, no one should see us.
SADNESS: Yeah, we could cry until we can't breathe.
ANGER: We should lock the door and scream that curse word we know. It's a good one!
Can you picture the emotions in Dad's head or Mom's head reacting like this, and offering up these reactions if they had a bad day at work? Yeah, us neither, and the reason why is because they're adults. These are immature reactions; they're the responses of a kid. (No offense, of course. Riley is a kid.)
