Hopscotch Extreme/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "Hopscotch Extreme".
== ==
(Poppy is hosting a hopscotch game.)
Poppy: OK, gang, for our next exciting round of hopscotch, give it up for Biggie! (The Trolls cheer for Biggie. Then he throws a beanbag at the end of the drawing and he starts.)
Holly: You got this, Biggie!
Poppy: You got this, Biggie! (Biggie reaches the end and the Trolls cheer for him again.)
Biggie: Nope! That’s it! I can’t do this anymore! Sorry, everyone, but hopscotch… is overrated! (The Trolls gasp.)
Poppy: Ah! Finally, someone said it!
Holly: We’re free from this pointless charade!
Biggie: ALL IT IS IS HOPPING!
All: YEAH!
Demo: Nay! (We look up and see that he is on a tree. He then climbs down.) I beseech thee, judge hopscotch is not, fellow Trolls. For thou hast never experienced its most epic incarnation, the age old Hard Rock Tribe Tradition… HOPSCOTCH EXTREME! (A red background appears.)
All: Ooh! (Some Rock Trolls move the background away.)
Demo: Imagine a hopscotch course beset by obstacles, each more hair-raising than the last. Where any hopper can become… (A yellow background appears.) … A CHAMPION! (The Rock Trolls move the background away.)
Poppy: OK, we have to bring Hopscotch Extreme to TrollsTopia!
Demo: (chuckles) Indeed. And lucky for us, we have the world’s greatest Extreme Hopscotcher to demonstrate. (Val appears.)
Poppy: Val? You’re the world’s greatest Extreme Hopscotcher?
Val: Well, I don’t know about “greatest.”
Demo: Oh, she’s the greatest all right. (He takes out his guitar and plays music.) You see, I was there on that fateful day. The day of the Greatest Scotch of All Time. (He sings Greatest Scotch Of All Time.)
(Demo)
This is the story
Of the Greatest Scotch of All time
We were waiting for a champ to appear
When who should arrive
Eyes shining clear
To beat the clock
Leap thru the fire
For the Greatest Scotch of All Time
One foot in the air
One in each square
Never seen someone
With such agile hair
She raced the course
Cool all the while
For the Greatest Scotch of All Time
And she’s the one
Who holds the crown
And she will never
Let us down
She’ll run the Greatest
Yeah! She’ll run the Greatest
Scotch of All Time (Some Rock Trolls cheer for Val and bounce her in the air.)
All: Yeah! Woo-hoo! (We go back to Pop Village where Poppy, Holly, Biggie, and Demo are bouncing Val in the air and cheering for her.)
Val: OK. Put me down. (The Trolls put her down.)
Holly: Oh.
Poppy: Sorry. Sorry. Got carried away.
Demo: So you see, Val’s a legend. And now, all TrollsTopia shall witness her unrivaled skill!
Val: Come on, it wasn’t that big a deal.
Demo: Onward, my hopscotch bethren, to construct a course, post haste!
All: YEAH! (Demo and Biggie leave.) Woo-hoo!
Holly: Yeah! (Val grabs her and Poppy with her hair.)
Val: You have to put a stop to this!
Poppy: Stop Hopscotch Extreme? Why?
Val: Because I’m a terrible hopscotcher, OK?! (She lets go of Holly and Val.) That epic scotch of mine… it didn’t happen the way Demo thinks. (We go to the past where she eats a cupcake in the woods.) I was just out in the woods, enjoying a cupcake la ‘splode when these Hostile Hornets attacked me. For no reason at all! (She chuckles nervously and runs away screaming. She jumps onto a mushroom and onto the Hopscotch Extreme course. Then she hops past some axes Demo and some Rock Trolls gasp in awe.)
Past Val: Aah! (She continues to run from the Hostile Hornets.)
Val: It was a total fluke! (She hops on stones above water, swings on a vine, crosses a line on an upside-down ground, and lands on a trampoline.)
All: Wow! (The Hostile Hornets form arrows, but Val dodges them as she hops across the last part of the course. She then goes through a hoop of fire and the Rock Trolls cheer for her. We go back to the present.)
Val: I’m the hero everyone expects me to be. And when they find out, it will go down in the All Time Bummer Hall of Fame!
Poppy: Listen, Val, I know you’re gonna give me a look for saying this, but… isn’t there a chance that if you told me the truth, it would unite everyone in some sort of soul cleansing moment of healing? (Val stares at her.) Yep. There’s the look… So, I guess we really only have one option… (Later, there are tires on the ground and Holly blows a whistle.) Hopscotch training! Val, you mastered that course once. You can do it again. You just have to believe in yourself.
Val: Believe in myself? Really?
Holly: You betcha. Now, hop on them hoops, sugar Let’s see what you’ve got!
Val: Hm! (Val does a Tarzan yell and tries to hop, but ends up tripping on the tires.)
Poppy: Oh.
Holly: Ooh. (Val rolls by in a tire.)
Val: Whooooaa! (She is heard crashing into something.)
Holly: Ooh!
Poppy: We may need to work on her hop. (Soon, she and Holly are teaching Val how to hop better.) Hopping is just a motion.
Holly: You are goin’ to go down on the ground, and then you will lift your body in the air. (Val is taking notes.)
Poppy: And down to the ground. (Soon, Val is in her athletic clothes and hopping on a fake hopscotch course on a machine. Holly speeds it up. Val hops faster until she falls. She holds onto the machine and does a Tarzan call as it rolls. After that, she is hitting her feet against boxing gloves with squares.)
Holly: 1, 1, 2, yeah! Now 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, come on! (Val soon finishes and she jumps off her chair.)
Holly and Val: Whooooo!
Poppy: Yeeeaah! (Val goes to the tires to try hopping over them again.)
Holly: ‘Kay, sugar. Let’s see Whatcha got now! (Val screams and hops over some of the tires. She then trips over them again.) Well, dang, y’all. We made it worse?
Poppy: Hm. DID YOU REMEMBER TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF?!
Val: Um… Ow. (Poppy and Holly take her to Dr. Moonbloom’s clinic. She tests her reflexes.)
Dr. Moonbloom: Val, I’m sorry to tell you this, but… this is the worst case of Scotchers Knee I have ever seen. (Poppy, Holly, and Val gasp in horror.)
Poppy: Wha- what does it mean?!
Dr. Moonbloom: That she will never… hop again. (Poppy, Holly, and Val gasp again.)
Val: So… can I walk?
Dr. Moonbloom: Yes.
Holly: Jump? Skip?
Poppy: Kick? Swim?
Dr. Moonbloom: Anything… but hop.
Holly: Well, is it painful?
Dr. Moonbloom: Not even… a little.
Holly: Well, dang! Holly Darlin’s strugglin’ to feel bad here!
Val: Feel bad? Are you kidding?! This is the best thing that could ever happen to me! (Later, she tells the other Trolls about her Scotcher’s Knee. She has a bandage on her knee.) So because of my Scotcher’s Knee, I’m now medically unable to do Hopscotch Extreme. Sorry, guys.
All: Aw.
Demo: Aw, Val, it’s not your fault.
Biggie: You can’t be blamed for this.
Val: Yeah. I guess I can’t, can I? Oh, well. I wish my leg had one more run left in it, but… (She hops on her injured leg.) … what are you gonna do?
Demo: Wait, Val… you hopped your epic Hopscotch Extreme run on your other leg, remember?
Val: The other leg? But I… You see that’s… (She thinks about hopscotching with her other leg.) … factually correct. (The Trolls cheer for her.)
Demo: You hear that, everyone?! The scotch is back on!
Biggie: Yeah! (Val sweats and gulps nervously. That night, Hopscotch Extreme is about to start.)
Demo: (Through the microphone) Behold, ye scotching spectators, witness the mythical majesty Val Thundershock! (As the audience cheers for Val, she, Poppy, and Holly appear. Some cannons shoot fire.)
Val: Dude, I can’t do this. I’m just gonna eat it out there, guys.
Holly: Uh-oh, Poppy. Might be time for one of your pep talks. (Poppy takes a deep breath and comes over to Val.)
Poppy: The moment has come. I know you can do it! You just have to believe in yourself, remember? Do you believe in yourself?
Val: Uh… I don’t know. Ask it again louder.
Poppy: DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF?!
Val: OK, split the difference.
Poppy: Do you believe in yourself?! (Val gains confidence.)
Val: Yes! I do believe in myself! I can do this! (The audience cheers for her.) WHOOOOOO! (She starts hopping.) I can do th- An axe hits her and sends her flying.) AAAAAAHHH! (Demo and the audience gasp.)
Demo: Oh, no! Val!
Poppy: (As she and Demo help Val get up) Are you OK?
Val: Yeah. Yeah, I think I am.
Demo: Phew! What a relief. ‘Cause that means you can get back up and try again! YEEEAAAH! (The audience cheers and Val watches.)
Val: NOOOOOO! (All the Trolls gasp.) I can’t do this! Sorry, Poppy, but it turns out believing in yourself with no actual skill is just a swinging guitar to the face waiting to happen!
Poppy: Hm. Yeah, that’s fair.
Demo: Hold on. What?
Val: I’m not a hero, Demo. The Greatest Scotch of All Time was a fluke. I’m awful at hopscotch. Ask them…
Poppy: I wouldn’t say awful.
Holly: Terrible. Just terrible.
Val: I’m sorry. I know it’s a huge bummer, but… I’m done pretending.
Demo: Hm. You know what? I’m done pretending, too.
Val: Huh?
Demo: You know that drum solo I did the other day? I was just having a sneezing fit! (The confused audience murmurs.)
Rock Troll #1: My epic cannonball was just a belly flop, but no-one noticed, so I just went along with it. (The audience murmurs again.)
Blaze: My cool tattoo? It’s just a stain from falling into a Flavor Berry Patch. I’ve been re-staining it every week for eight years! (He licks his fake tattoo.)
All: Aw. (Blaze begins to cry.)
Blaze: Thank you! I am being really brave right now! (He does emotional mouth guitar sounds.)
Demo: Wow. Thank you, Val. Your honesty… it’s unified us all in some sort of…
Poppy, Holly, and Val: Soul cleansing moment of healing! (They give each other a hug.) Aw!
All: Aw! (Demo hugs Poppy, Holly, and Val as fireworks explode in the night sky.)
