How we cite our quotes: All quotes are from Inside Out.
Quote #1
MOM: The drive out was pretty fun, huh? What was your favorite part?
ANGER: Spitting out the car window!
DISGUST: Definitely not when Dad was singing!
FEAR: Wearing a seat belt!
JOY: Oh, what about the time with the dinosaur?
ANGER: Oh!
FEAR: That's the one.
DISGUST: Definitely.
This exchange shows how emotions affect the perception of experiences and contribute to the memories being made. Anger, Fear, and Disgust all took the same drive, but, at least initially, they all had different aspects of the experience come to the forefront when Mom asks.
Quote #2
JOY: Sadness, you nearly touched a core memory. And when you touch them, we can't change them back.
The movie seems to suggest that once a memory's tinged with sadness it can't be, uh, un-tinged. (No, that's not a word. Just go with us here.) Is that necessarily a bad thing?
Quote #3
MEG: Do you like it there? Did you feel any earthquakes? Is the bridge cool?
RILEY: Yeah, it's good. What happened with the playoffs?
MEG: We won the first game. Coach says we might actually go to the finals this year. Oh, and we've got this new girl on the team. She's so cool.
DISGUST: Uh, she did not just say that.
FEAR: A new girl? Meg has a new friend already?
DISGUST: Hey, hey! Stay happy. We do not want to lose any more islands here, guys!
MEG: We can pass the puck to each other without even looking. It's like mind reading!
ANGER: You like to read minds, Meg? I got something for you to read, right here!
FEAR: Let's just be calm for one second!
Anger shoves Fear out of the frame and blows his top.
MEG: I heard they have parrots—
RILEY: I've got to go.
After the move to San Francisco, land of nasty pizza and no frozen ponds, Riley's missing Minnesota something fierce. When Meg acknowledges that life has continued to move on there without her, it upsets Riley. A lot. Minnesota as she remembers it is changing, and she can't live in the past.
