Whimsy Wasps (episode)/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "Whimsy Wasps".
== ==
(At Troll Village, colored lights shine because the Trolls are having a party. A creature lands on a leaf and smiles at the party. It then flies past the dancing Trolls and lands on a food table. Poppy then appears next to it.)
Poppy: Well, hey there, stranger. I’ve never seen a critter like you before. Guys, check this out! He loves our party! (The Trolls gather around and the creature eats up the cupcakes.)
Smidge: Ha-ha! Get that cupcake, boy! (As the Trolls cheer, more creatures appear. One of them eats a Glitter Troll’s blue party hat.)
Glitter Troll: Hey. (The creature drinks his drink.) Hey! (Another creature breaks a piñata and the Trolls near it cheer. (More creatures eat up the candy. The rest of them are eating the food on the table.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! These bugs are ruining our dance party!
Poppy: Hey, hey! Be optimistic, Smidge. They aren’t ruining it. They just changed the theme from dance party too… (She pulls a switch and the party banner changes.) Infestation Fest!
DJ Suki: Infes-I-I-Infestation Fest! (She plays music and the crowd cheers and dances.)
Peppy: (offscreen) Stop! (The music stops.) Stop this delightful frivolity right now! Don’t you know what we’re dealing with here? (He points to the creatures still at the food table. More of them eat the banner while one chews on his hair.) Shoo! These are the infamous… (The Trolls gasp.)  the disastrous… the bootiful…
All: Hey!
Peppy: Whimsy Wasps!
All: Oh, no! The what?
Poppy: OK, you’ve got us hooked, Dad. But we need more information.
Peppy: It’s all right here in this nature scrapbook. “The Whimsy Wasps are drawn to merriment, like moths to a flame.”
Smidge: Oh, come on! A bug that’s attracted to fun? That makes no sense biologically! (Cooper poops a cupcakes.) Never mind.
Peppy: Every 20 years, their migratory path takes them right past us- a swarm of thousands. (He takes out a telescope and sees much more Whimsy Wasps coming.) They’re coming! If they get even a whiff of jubilation, they swoop in and… devours the entire village! (The crowd gasps in terror.)
Branch: Yes! Yes! All right! (He mimics a record scratching.)
Poppy: Uh… Branch, are you enjoying this?
Branch: Come on, you guys can appreciate this, can’t you? (He runs over to Poppy and her father.) You’ve finally run into a dilemma that can’t be solved with singing and dancing or farting glitter.
Guy Diamond: (gasps) I feel like that was directed at me!
Branch: This time, you got a serious problem, and to deal with it, you’re gonna have to get serious like me. (laughs) You see what I’m saying?! You have to be more like me.
Satin: Eww. Gross attitude, Branch.
Chenille: Yeah, this is an unflattering shade of curmudgeon on you, man.
Poppy: Not to mention, you’re totally underestimating us. All we have to do to stop that swarm is to cut back on our whimsy. What do you say, gang?
DJ Suki: Cut down on the w-w-whimsy! (She plays music.)
All: (Dancing) Cut down on the whimsy! (The Whimsy Wasps destroy the discoball. The crowd screams in terror.)
Poppy: (gasps) Uh… You were saying? (chuckles)
Branch: (clears his throat) OK. Branch’s swarm defense plan, step 1. Biggie, the entire village needs to know the peril we’re in. Go spread the word. And remember, this is serious.
Biggie: Harper, I have something to tell you!
Branch: Step 2. Satin and Chenille, to keep the swarm out, weave a net like this that covers the entire village. (Satin and Chenille take the net blueprint.) Step 3. Smidge, Guy, spray this bug repellent on everything. (Smidge and Guy Diamond paint eyebrows.) See, Poppy? With a little Branch-like attitude, the Trolls will handle this emergency in no time.
Poppy: Uh… Are you sure about that? Seems like Biggie is still warning Harper.
Biggie: And then I said, “I don’t care if it is what the cool worms are wearing, I am not getting you a tiny leather jacket.”
Branch: Biggie, you’re supposed to be spreading the word!
Biggie: Huh… I am, Branch, but Harper and I haven’t talked for so long, I can’t just run off to warn the others without catching up. What kind of word-spreader would I be then?
Branch: An ideal one!
Satin: (As she and Chenille come with the finished net) We finished the net, Branch!
Branch: Oh, good. At least someone’s staying focused and… (He gasps because he sees holes in the net in various shapes.) Holes?! You embroidered holes?!
Chenille: Oh, yeah. Your net was so matchy-matchy.
Satin: We just gave it a little jeuje.
Both: Ta-da! (A Whimsy Wasp goes through the hole shaped like a heart.)
Branch: (sighs) But… (He hears Guy Diamond and Smidge spraying bug repellent in each other’s mouths.)
Guy Diamond: I got you!
Branch: Whoa! Stop! You guys can’t eat the bug repellent!
Smidge: Pfft! Duh, Branch!
Guy Diamond: Yeah, Branch, duh! We swapped frosting in for the repellent. It smelled awful.
Smidge: You’re welcome! (She and Guy Diamond continue spraying the frosting and Branch screams in anger.)
Poppy: It’s not working, Branch! The main swarm is getting closer! (Branch looks through a telescope and sees the swarm getting closer.)
Branch: OK, new strategy. We just have to get rid of all the Trolls’ whimsy.
Poppy: Yeah, but how? Trolls like to have fun and party by nature. We can’t control it. See? (She shows Branch some dance moves.)
Branch: Then what if we didn’t try to control it? What if we threw a party so over the top that it temporarily gets all the whimsy out of their system?
Biggie: Oh. An over-the-top party? (chuckles)
Poppy: (chuckles) Challenge accepted. (That night in the Fun Dungeon, Poppy is making an announcement to her friends.) Listen up! We need a party to end all parties, people! I want your biggest, craziest ideas!
Guy Diamond: Glitter Cannons!
Branch: Good. Crazier.
Biggie: Dinkles costumes for everyone!
Poppy: Crazier.
Smidge: A mountain of snacks?
DJ Suki: 10 turntables playing different songs!
Poppy and Branch: CRAZIER!
Cooper: A pack of frosting-covered Puffalos square-dancing to Swiss electropop!
Poppy: Now we’re talking. (She takes out a pencil and a piece of paper.)
Guy Diamond: Ceiling dancing!
Satin: A giraffe raffle!
Chenille: A giraffle!
Smidge: A cake shaped like a pair of pants baked in a tuba!
Biggie: Critter karaoke!
Guy Diamond: Cupcake spas!
DJ Suki: Disco dubstep!
Cooper: Fruit punch hair wrestling! (Later, the Trolls are having a huge party while the Whimsy wasps watch from outside. A trio of Trolls are about to enter when Branch comes out.)
Branch: (Yelling from the loud noise) LISTEN UP! WORD FROM THE FRONT LINE IS THAT WE NEED MORE DANCING AT TURNTABLE 16! (He gives party stuff to the Trolls.) SPARKLERS! GLOW STICKS! NOVELTY GLASSES! GO, GO, GO! (He lets the Trolls inside and Biggie comes out panting.)
Biggie: Need a break! It’s too much fun!
Branch: No, Biggie, don’t stop! Not until all your whimsy is out! (He puts a blue party hat on Biggie. He then yells and goes back inside. The Whimsy Wasps then appear. Branch closes the door.) Stay back! (He uses his hair to scare the creatures away, but it doesn’t work. He sees the main swarm coming.) This better work. (By the next morning, he has fallen asleep while standing up. He wakes up, coughs and makes a couple karate moves.) Huh? H-hey, guys? Did the party work? Did it get out the- (He sees that Poppy and the Trolls are all serious.) Whoa.
Poppy: Next, agenda item 23. The De-whimsifying Initiative Assessment Committee is ready to report its findings. Uh… Cooper? (Cooper breaths on his glasses and wipes them. Then he puts them on.)
Cooper: (clears his throat) Yes. Our initial evaluation finds, and I quote, “Last night’s party met all objectives. The Trolls have exhibited a total loss of whimsy.” (The crowd murmurs and nods.)
Branch: So serious.
Cooper: The committee recommends we move to the topic of village defenses.
Smidge: I 2nd.
Guy Diamond: I 3rd. Excuse me. (clears his throat) I 3rd.
Troll #1: I 4th.
Troll #2: I 5th. (Branch goes to the window.)
Troll #3: I 6th.
Troll #4: I 7th. (Branch sees the Whimsy Wasps bored. One of them yawns and they fly away.)
Biggie: I 29th.
Branch: Hey, everybody, you got to see this!
Poppy: All in favor of following Branch?
Branch: Come on! (He drags Poppy outside.) They’re leaving! It worked! Isn’t that great?!
Smidge: Indeed. In fact, perhaps this goes without saying, but um… oh, my Guh?
All: Mm-hmm.
Branch: See, everyone? When you take them seriously, all your problems literally fly away- (A big bug lands on him.) Whoa!
Cooper: Well, that was unexpected.
All: Mm-hmm. (Branch gets up and throws the bug off him.)
Branch: Whoa! What is this? A-another infestation? (An army of bugs appears and the crowd runs away screaming. They take shelter in the Fun Dungeon and Branch blocks the door.) W-what are those creatures?!
Peppy: Ah, yes, the Boring Beetles. They’re the opposites of the Whimsy Wasp. They’re driven away by whimsy and attracted to dullness.
Smidge: Objection! Creatures drawn to dullness? That’s ludicrous.
Cooper: Ah, but, Smidge, you’ve forgotten my previous rebuttal. (He poops a cupcake.)
Smidge: I see. Yes, yes. Point withdrawn. (The rest of the Boring Bugs land on the Fun Dungeon.)
Branch: (whimpers) OK, guys, uh, we can do this. If they’re Boring Beetles, all we have to do to make them go away is um… go back to being whimsical!
Poppy: Good plan! Let’s form a committee to evaluate Branch’s proposal.
Branch: Wait, what?
Peppy: I 2nd the motion.
Branch: Motion? No!
Satin: I 3rd.
Chenille: I 4th.
Branch: Everyone, stop! We don’t have time for this! You need to get out there and… and be Trolls!
Cooper: Ah! But what is it to be a Troll? (The crowd murmurs.)
Branch: AAAAH! YOU GOT TO PARTY NOW!!!
Poppy: (clears her throat) Branch, I assure you, we are taking the problem very seriously. But there is simply no Troll here who can do what you want?
Branch: You’re wrong. There is one Troll. (He goes outside to the Boring Beetles and sings I’m All Whimsy.)
(Branch)
Yeah
Come on
Whoo!
I got whimsy
Coming out of my eyeballs
It’s in me
Yeah, breaking down all of my walls
Now I’m gonna shine brighter
Than ever before
All of my colors are truly magical
I’m gonna let it out
I’m not boring no more
I am more fun than the funnest Troll
Oh, I’m a party of one
And I’m gonna get it done
With my whimsy
Whoo! I am so cute
When I’m shimmy, yeah!
The power of joy is within me
I’m all whimsy
And I’m gonna let it out
I’m all whimsy (He gets in the Fun Dungeon after the Boring Bugs fly away.)
Branch: There. We’re finally safe.
Guy Diamond: (As he and the Snack Pack clap) Good show, Branch.
Biggie: Very good, Branch.
Satin: Thank you, Branch.
Branch: Yeah, of course. It was nothing. (He falls to the ground with a face-plant.)
Poppy: Oh. Branch needs our assistance. All in favor?
Guy Diamond: Aye.
Smidge: Aye.
Chenille: Aye. (The next day, Poppy makes an announcement.)
Poppy: Well, Trolls, I’m happy to announce that, after a little rest, everyone is back to normal.
DJ Suki: N-N-Normal! (She plays dance music.)
All: Back to normal!
Branch: Well, looks like you were right. I was underestimating you. Sometimes it is best to be a whimsical Troll.
Poppy: Yeah, but you were right, too. Sometimes it’s best to be a serious Troll.
Branch: Hm. Yeah. I guess we’re saying is that the best place to land is somewhere in the middle.
Poppy: Exactly. Everything in moderation. (She and Branch shake hands. Just then, rumbling is heard and the Trolls start screaming. A Moderation Mole comes out of the ground.)
Peppy: Troll-y moly! It’s the Moderation Moles! They’re drawn to balance and compromise! They’ll destroy us all! (The mole roars and the Trolls start running and screaming.)
