The following is a transcript for the episode "Surprising Gust".
== ==
(The camera moves across the beach and zooms in on Cooper hiding in the bushes.)
Cooper: Someone say “beach day?” (He puts on sunglasses.) Let’s go, everybody! (He and his friends laugh and cheer as they run out of the bushes.)
Guy Diamond: Sun’s out, buns out, y’all! (He and his friends jump into the water. As they have fun at the beach, Poppy sings Fun In The Sun. They often mess up Branch’s sandcastles.)
(Poppy)
Yeah, we’re having fun in the sun
It’s a good time, good time, good time
All I want is a day in the sun
With a friend or two or three or four
Just livin’ it up
Oh, oh
All I need is some sand on my feet
And some music on the stereo
When life is complete
Oh, oh
I’m having fun
Fun, yeah
I’m having fun
Oh, yeah I’m having fun! (After the song, she relaxes on beach chairs with Cooper.)
Poppy: Ah. (Smidge and Val jump out from behind a rock carrying water balloons.)
Val and Smidge: Here comes the hair raid! (They throw their water balloons and the rest of the Trolls run around having fun. Guy Diamond rockets into the sky by doing a glitter fart. Poppy gets hit by a water balloon and Smidge and Val high-five with their hair. Poppy laughs with soaked hair.)
Poppy: (Squeezing her hair) Solid prank, you two!
Smidge: Poppy, you all like, “Oh, my Guh!” (She goes over to Guy Diamond drying himself with a towel.) And, Guy, you were all like, “Oh, my Guh!” (She goes over to Gust who is holding and umbrella.) And, Gust, you were all like, “Holy good of relatives stay bone-dry!” because you somehow knew about our awesome prank?
Gust: (chuckles) Awesome indeed, Smidge. But yes, I must admit, I had a hunch you were up to something.
Holly: Dude, it was more than a hunch! Tell ‘em, Gust!
Gust: Well, you see- (Holly blocks him.)
Holly: You see, all them years of Fun Sheriffin’ and givin’ Gust team powers of observation, he picks up on details most Trolls don’t think twice about.
Gust: My first suspicion of your hair raid game, when I spotted that dear trail of water droplets. (He points to the water droplets on the sand.)
All: Whoa!
Gust: And if you take a closer gander at them beautiful flowers, you’ll find one of ‘em ain’t a flower at all.
Funk Troll #1: Whoa!
Rock Troll #1: It’s a broken water balloon.
Smidge: How did we notice that?
Gust: And then I noticed the tiny marking on Smidge’s right pointer finger. (We show a wrinkle on one of Smidge’s finger.) Only an extended section of water balloon time means marks of that nature. So I just connected all those stats in… well, here we are.
All: Whoa!
Holly: Here we are. I reckon it’s near impossible to catch Gust Tumbleweed off-guard. (giggles)
Poppy: Wait. It can’t be “impossible.” What about when someone throws you a surprise party?
Gust: Well, the truth is… I’ve never had a surprise party.
Smidge: Oh…
Poppy: … my…
Guy Diamond: (auto-tuned) … GUUUUUUUUH! (Cooper screams and puts his head in the sand.)
Gust; Yes. Due to my powers of protection, I’m afraid anytime my friends try, I… I intentionally spoil the fun.
Poppy: No! It… it can’t be! For a Troll to never know the joy of a surprise party? It’s too heartbreaking.
Gust: Heartbreaking indeed. But I just can’t help picking up on things. Like by that look in your eye. I reckon you’re about to say… (He goes over to Poppy.)
Both: “Gust, I promise that we’ll throw you a surprise party so good, you’ll never see it coming!”
Poppy: Whoa!
Holly: I told ya he was good.
Gust: Poppy, there’s nothing I love more than for you to surprise me. But you can’t. And I hate for you all to go to such needless trouble. So I must insist: Please don’t bother. (The sun starts to set.) Now, pardon me, but I’m detecting a particularly gnarly wave. (He gets on his hat and uses it as boat to sail away.)
Poppy: Guys, we have to throw Gust a surprise party.
Guy Diamond: Absolutely!
Smidge: We could call ourselves Trolls if we did it!
Cooper: (With his head still in the sand) I did not hear what you’re saying!
Poppy: Good. Now the key is to find a moment when he’s relaxed. A moment where he’ll let his guard down. A moment like… (The next day, Harper is hosting her weekly art class.) … Harper’s weekly art class. (Harper goes over to a red Techno Troll.)
Harper: That’s it. (She goes over to a yellow male Pop Troll.) Don’t force the brush. (She goes over to Gust.) Remember your painting posture, Gust. Breath. Stay relaxed. And… (Just then, Poppy appears from under a fruit bowl along with some Pop Trolls and a Funk Troll.)
All: SURPRISE!!!
Poppy: Whoo! There’s no way you saw that coming! (She and the Trolls laugh. Gust shows a picture of what just happened.)
All: Aw! (A yellow male Pop Troll lets go of the rope and lands on the ground. Later under the Country Corral, Poppy, Holly, Guy Diamond, Cooper, and Val are mining underneath the Fun Sheriff’s office.)
Poppy: OK, gang, Gust’s pod is directly above us. I can’t wait to see the joy on his face when we pop out from right underneath his feet! (The Trolls comment on her idea.)
Val: I don’t know, guys. I got a bad feeling Gust already knows what we’re up to, and it’s only a matter of time before he finds us and politely asks us to stop.
Poppy: What? Val, we’re 300ft underground. What makes you think Gust has any clue we’re here?
Val: Because… (We reveal that it was actually Gust in disguise.)
Gust: I am Gust. (The Trolls gasp in shock. The real Val is right next to them.)
Val: Yeah. I should have seen that coming. (Her friends frown.) What? (Back in Pop Village, Poppy is telling her plan to her friends.)
Poppy: Friends, I’ve analyzed Gust’s routine, And I’ve found a 7 second window. (We cut to Gust’s office.) Each day at the same exact time, Gust leaves his desk, checks the mail, and returns to his office. (A helicopter bug lifts Gust’s office in the air and the Classical Trolls puts a replica of it on the gorund.) But he won’t be returning to his office, but only an exact replica office that has been decorated and repopulated his closest friends. (The plan turns out well and the Trolls come out of their hiding places.)
All: SURPRISE!!!
Gust: (gasps) My, oh, my! It happened!
Poppy: We surprised you?!
Gust: You surely did! (chuckles) And now you’re so much sweeter! It’s everything I imagined!
Poppy: (gasps) Really?!
Gust: Yeah… no.
All: Aw!
Gust: I only fibbed so you’d stop. I’ve been down this road before. And eventually, in an effort to surprise me, some well-meaning Troll goes too far and things get out of hand. So, for your own good, please just let it go. (He leaves the replica of his office.)
Guy Diamond: Maybe he has a point.
Gust: Also, where’s my real office? (The Trolls leave to get his real office back. Only Poppy and Smidge remain. Poppy becomes sad and sits down.)
Smidge: Don’t feel bad, Poppy. You tried your best.
Poppy: (Getting up) Yeah. Thanks for trying to cheer me up, Smidge, but I just need to go for a walk. (She walks away. In Pop Village, Gust is ordering some coffee.)
Gust: Give me a double. Make it a double… on the double. (The coffee shop owner gets him two cups of coffees at lightning speed.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! Somebody, help! (The Trolls gasp while Cooper screams and puts head in the ground.)
Gust: Breath, fearsome tiny one. Just tell ol’ Gust how he can help.
Smidge: It’s Poppy! She went for a walk, she fell, and now she’s stuck in the ravine! (A trio of Trolls becomes alarmed.)
All: Poppy’s stuck in the ravine?!
Gust: No.
All: Huh?
Gust: She’s not. (A group of four Trolls appears.)
All: She’s not?
Smidge: No, Gust, I swear! She’s down in that ravine as we speak!
Gust: Oh, I have no doubt she is. But it’s not good she’s stuck. She’s waiting to throw me a surprise party.
All: Huh?
Smidge: What? N-No, she’s-
Gust: You got cake frosting on your wrist! (Smidge looks to see pink frosting on her wrist.)
Smidge: (Wiping the frosting) That’s not mine.
Gust: (Seeing something else) There’s gift wrap and tape on your foot! (Smidge gasps and sees wrap and tape on her foot.) You’ve even got a piece of confetti on your bow. (He takes the confetti off Smidge’s bow.)
Smidge: Fine. You’ve figured it out… AGAIN. Poppy and I thought if we could get you to the ravine, she could surprise you. But she’s fine.
Gust: No, she’s not.
All: What?
Gust: This isn’t actually confetti. It’s the scale of a Maraca Snake.
All: Maraca Snake?
Smidge: So what do you say?
Gust: That by going down into that ravine, Poppy stumbled right into a Maraca Snake hole.
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! By pretending to be in danger, Poppy put herself in actual danger!
Gust: We can marinate my delicious ironing once she’s safe. Right now, I gotta get to that ravine! Ya! (He gallops off to save Poppy. Soon, he reaches the desert.) Poppy! Queen Poppy! (He reaches the ravine.) Poppy! Queen Poppy! (He sees a maraca tail and the Maraca Snake appears. Poppy is hiding behind a rock. She is also wearing a purple and yellow party hat and has a noise maker in her mouth.) Maraca Snake! Poppy, are you OK?!
Poppy: Gust, I tried to explain that I didn’t mean to invade a space, but… he’s so bad! (The Maraca Snake hisses at her.)
Gust: Yes, Maraca Snakes are cranky by nature. There’s only one way you’re gettin’ out of this, and it ain’t by talkin’. (He jumps off the cliff and goes down a slide. Soon, he reaches the ramp and flies.) YEE-HAW! (He lands by the rock Poppy is hiding.) It’s by listenin’. (He takes out some maracas.)
Poppy: Huh?
Gust: (Shaking his maracas) Now tell me what’s really botherin’ your friend. This is a safe space. (The Maraca Snake gets ready to attack him.) Nuh-uh! No! Don’t you shut me out! (The Maraca Snake becomes sad.) Now we’re gettin’ somewhere. (Soon, the snake is calm.) Hm. It takes a real Maraca Snake to admit that. Yes, that would be frustratin’. But is there a healthier, more constructive way you could have expressed yourself? (Soon, the Maraca Snake starts crying. Tears are pouring out of its eyes.) Yeah, my dad was a lot like that, too. (He wipes his tears.) You’ve taken a big step forward, opening up to us up to date. I can truly say, any step forward is progress, seen as you’re a snake. (The Maraca Snake hugs him.) Aw! (The snake gives him a kiss on the cheek and leaves.) Now then, about this surprise. Poppy, you could have been hurt.
Poppy: Yeah. I guess things did get out of hand, huh? It just seems so unfair that you’ll never get to experience a surprise party. Not even once.
Gust: Yeah. That is true. But you know, Poppy, if the point of the surprise is to show a friend how much you care, I don’t need a party. ‘Cause I get that every day from Trolls like you. Livin’ here in TrollsTopia.
Poppy: I’m really glad to hear that, Gust. Still, I can’t help but wish that I’d come up with some clever way to catch you off-guard.
Gust: Ah, yeah. That would have been nice. (The Maraca Snake pops up behind him and Poppy.) But some things are meant to- (Suddenly, the Trolls pop out of the Maraca Snake. It turns out it was fake.)
All: SURPRISE!!! (They are wearing party hats and blowing noise makers.)
Gust: (gasps) You… you got me! (He laughs with joy.)
