Dark Side Of The Lagoon/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "Dark Side Of The Lagoon".
== ==
(Some Trolls form a tower with Guy Diamond at the top to put up a banner for the Fancy Pants Banquet.)
Poppy: (sighs) The Fancy Pants Banquet. (She puts some pink roses in a vase on the table.) The 12th most anticipated formal event of the year! Uh-uh-uh! (She goes over to Biggie who is putting forks and spoons on the table.) The pudding goes to the left of the frosting spoon, guys. (She touches Biggie’s nose.) It’s all about the details, gang. This dinner is gonna be just… (Smidge appears with a checklist.) Hm. (She sees that something is missing.)
Smidge: Uh-oh. What’s wrong? Are the napkin folds not majestic enough? (A yellow male Troll folds some napkins into a shape of a castle.)
Poppy: (sighs) No, they will do. But something’s still missing. (She looks at the tower of Trolls struggling to keep their balance. A few seconds later, they fall down. Guy Diamond tangles himself with the banner and hangs on it like a disco ball.)
Smidge: (chuckles) Guy looks just like a disco ball.
Poppy: Disco ball?
Both: DJ’s disco ball! (Soon, they are at DJ Suki’s pod. She is showing them a purple chest with orange glitter and gems.)
DJ Suki: Behold! Star Maker. (She opens the chest and disco music plays. A bright light shines at Poppy.)
Poppy: Whoa. You can’t help but have with that. See? (The camera zooms out to show her legs dancing.) The banquet won’t be complete without it!
DJ Suki: (Closing the chest) I don’t know, Poppy. Star Maker has been in my family for generations. (We go to the past of DJ Suki’s ancestors.) Forged my ancestors from the purest glitter. Its party powers are legendary. (We go back to the present.) And now it’s been entrusted to me. I-I better just put it back in my closet where it’s safe.
Poppy: But in the closet, Star Maker can’t do what it was made to do, DJ. Like a puppy that’s not allowed to play. (She picks up a Cuddle Pup.) This puppy.
DJ Suki: Aw!
Poppy: Please, DJ! (The Cuddle Pup barks.)
DJ Suki: Fine. (Poppy shows Star Maker to Smidge, Cooper, and Biggie.)
Poppy: I got it! (She opens the chest and disco music plays, causing her friends to dance. She closes and opens it a few more times.) To the banquet! (She runs off.)
All: To the banquet! (They run behind Poppy.)
Smidge: I can’t believe DJ let us use it!
Poppy: Well, I promised I’d take good care of it and return it safely, no matter- (She trips over a rock, causing her to drop the chest.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! (Poppy grabs the chest with her hair.)
Poppy: Phew! (Suddenly, the chest opens and Star Maker falls out and bounces into a green creature who spits it out. Poppy and her friends gasp and go after it. Star Maker soon lands near Rufus’s Puffalo ranch.) Close the gate!
Rufus: Sure thing, Queen Poppy! (He closes the gate, but Star Maker goes through the little hole. Poppy grunts and does a face palm. Star Maker goes through the ranch and through the bushes. Poppy soon catches it at the edge of a cliff, but her friends bump into her, causing them to fall.)
All: (grunt) Hm? (They see Star Maker rolling across a bridge and it is about to fall into the lake. Just before it falls in, Poppy catches it with her hair. She sighs in relief and Star Maker plays disco music again.)
Cooper: (As the others cheer and dance) We’re number 1! (The Trolls’ stomping causes the bridge to crumble and they fall in along with Poppy and Star Maker.)
Poppy: Oh, no! (She searches for the disco ball and sees it sinking into the lake.) What have I done?!
Cooper: Uh… You lost DJ’s family heirloom. How did you forget already?
Biggie: This is bad. Things that fall in that lagoon never come back. (We go to flashbacks to when Biggie dropped his baton and Smidge dropped her barbell into he lagoon.)
Past Smidge: Oh, my Guh! (We go to another flashback to when Cooper dropped a trumpet into the lagoon. Then we go back to the present where Poppy and her friends are out of the water.)
Poppy: (sighs) Well, let’s dive down there and get it back.
All: What?!
Smidge: But, Poppy, it’s lost at the bottom of the lagoon of an impossibly deep and dark lagoon.
Biggie: Yeah. It was just an accident. DJ will understand.
Poppy: No. There’s no way I’m letting a friend down like that, guys. I can fix this. And I know just where to go to get help. (She and her friends go to Tug Duluth’s adventure booth.)
Tug: Welcome to Tug Duluth’s Adventures, home of Tug Duluth, Troll Village’s only tour guide.
Poppy: Tug, you offer a submarine tour, don’t you? (Tug pulls down a poster with a submarine.)
Tug: Explore new worlds. Discover stranger critters. It’s one underwater journey that isn’t all wet. (laughs) It’s Tug Duluth Adventures’ Troll Lagoon Escapade!
All: Ooh!
Poppy: OK. But have you ever gone to, say, the bottom of the lagoon?
Tug: Never! The bottom is an uninviting wasteland of nothingness. A relentlessly empty abyss.
Poppy: Well, would you be willing to take us down there?
Tug: Absolutely! Right this way to the sub. (She walks backwards.) We’re walking, we’re walking. (Poppy and her friends follow her into the submarine.) We’re walking, we’re walking, we’re walking. (The submarine closes its mouth and it goes underwater.) We’re diving. We’re diving. We’re diving, we’re diving.
Cooper: Oh, look at that!
Smidge: Wow!
Tug: (Through the microphone) If you look out the portholes during our descent, you’ll see the wonders of Troll Lagoon… (Some fish swim near the submarine.)
Pink Fish: And we’re swimming, we’re swimming.
All: Ooh!
Tug: … including the breathtaking Choral Coral. (The submarine goes past the Choral Coral singing.) And Glow Jellies. (Glow Jellies appear outside the submarine.)
Biggie and Cooper: Ooh!
Smidge: Oh, my Guh.
Tug: They love a good beat. (Smidge taps the window and the Glow Jelly mimics the beat. She laughs and does it a few more times. This causes the rest of the Glow Jellies to mimic the beat. Smidge goes over to Poppy looking through a telescope.)
Smidge: Poppy, come on. You’re missing all this cool stuff!
Poppy: I’m not here for the tour, guys. I’m here to do right by DJ. Tug, I need you to take us deeper.
Tug: With pleasure! Please take a mental image of the vibrant scenery so you can remember something beautiful as you descend into the lifeless void. (She laughs as she pulls the switch. An alarm sounds out and the submarine descends deeper very fast. Screaming from Poppy and her friends can be heard. Soon, the submarine is moving at the bottom of the lagoon.) Welcome to the bottom. On your right, utter darkness. On your left, endless black. (The submarine’s outside light turns on.)
Poppy: OK, can’t see much, so we’ll just take it an inch at a time. All it requires is a little patience. (She looks around with the telescope.)
Smidge: (groans) Poppy, look around. This is impossible! (She folds her arms.)
Poppy: There’s got to be another way to beat this. (gasps) “Beat this”! (She goes to the window and taps on it. As she does that, the Glow Jellies light the way and she sings Shine Bright.)
(Poppy)
Go on now, shine your light
Let me see you shine bright
Glow like you mean it now
Hit the rhythm and don’t slow down
It might be dark out there
Pitch black, like everywhere
But you illuminate
When you like how we syncopate, sing!
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You light me up with how you glow
You shine so bright so we can
One, two, a-one, two three, go!
Shine your light for me
All together now, let me see you glow
So brilliantly
All together now, shine bright for, oh (The submarine soon finds Star Maker on a pile of lost things. Then Poppy and her friends get out with breathing helmets. They head over to the pile.)
Poppy: There it is! (She and her friends gasp in amazement.) DJ’s Star Maker.
Biggie: And look, everything else we’ve ever lost, too! (gasps) My baton!
Smidge: My barbell!
Cooper: (gurgling as his helmet falls off) my helmet! (He struggles to breath. Luckily, Smidge puts his breathing helmet back on.) Settles that. I am not a fish. (laughs) Who knew? (Poppy climbs onto the pile. She gasps as she gets closer. As soon as she picks up Star Maker, she finds a crab holding onto it.)
Poppy: Aw! Hey, little fella. (The crab makes an alarm sound. Poppy screams and falls off the pile. Suddenly, a huge army of Finders-Keepers Critters appears.)
Biggie: Uh-oh. They’re pretty angry. (Smidge cries out as a crab lands on her helmet.)
Smidge: Quick, Biggie, get the stuff. Let’s get out of here! (Biggie crabs the lost stuff and they swim back into the submarine. The crabs hit the door as soon as it closes. Poppy and her friends remove their breathing helmets.)
Tug: Fun fact: You’ve stumbled onto a nest of Finders-Keepers Critters. They’re extremely possessive.
Poppy: Well, we’re in this big sub. What could they possibly do to us? (The Finders-Keepers Critters form themselves into a large crab and it roars loudly.)
Tug: Fun fact: They can do that. (The crab shape fires its claws at the submarine.)
Poppy: Oh, no! Clawpedoes! Tug, can we try to outrun them?!
Tug: Of course! (She goes over to the wheel.) Fun fact: This vessel is designed to move-
Poppy: (Pushing Tug away from the wheel) No time for fun facts! (She steers the submarine and it dodges one of the claws, but the other hits it. This sends her friends flying to the walls.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! (Cooper and Biggie hit the wall.)
Mr. Dinkles: Meep. (Just then, the windows leak water.)
Tug: Fun fact: We’re all gonna die!
Poppy: Not if I have anything to say about it! (She steers the submarine toward the surface and it goes up. The crab shape roars and fires one of its claws at the submarine, dragging it down.) Come on, come on! (grunts) Maybe if we give back some of the items, they will leave us alone. Quick, throw something overboard!
Smidge: (Running around) Oh, my Guh! Oh, my Guh! Oh, my Guh! (Biggie’s baton rolls toward him and he picks it up.)
Biggie: But-
Poppy: Biggie, hurry! (Biggie puts the baton in the release machine. It sinks to the bottom and a group of Finders-Keepers Critters releases the submarine.) Ah! It’s working! Keep unloading, crew! (Her friends continue to unload things, but the grip of the crab shape is still strong.)
Biggie: That’s still not enough!
Smidge: Poppy! (She is struggling to cover the leaks.) Can’t hold the water out much longer! (More water rushes into the submarine.)
Mr. Dinkles: Meep. (Tug puts on a life jacket.
Poppy: (sighs) There’s only one thing left they want. (She takes out Star Maker.)
Smidge: Poppy, no! That’s the whole reason we came down here!
Cooper: Yeah!
Biggie: We can’t!
Tug: (Floating) Unless she does, our demise is certain!
Biggie and Cooper: Do it!
Poppy: Sorry, DJ. (She releases Star Maker and the rest of the Finders-Keepers Critters release the submarine. Then it goes back up to the surface.)
Tug: And that completes out journey. Please fill out a customer-satisfaction survey, and be sure to tell a friend about Tug Duluth Adventures!
DJ Suki: Uh… Poppy? (Poppy and her friends gasp.)
Poppy: DJ! (Soon, she explains about what happened.) And as the crabs threatened to crush the ship’s hull, I realized what I should have done all along: find you and own up to what I did. Sorry, DJ. I let you down.
Smidge: We all did.
Biggie: Yeah, blame us, too.
Cooper: It was Poppy’s fault all the way.
Poppy: It’s true. I shouldn’t have been so careless with Star Maker.
DJ Suki: I guess you could have been a little more careful. You did leave it on the ground outside my pod. Anything could have happened to it.
Poppy: I know. And I should have told you sooner. I just didn’t want to… Wait, the box is Star Maker?
DJ Suki: Yeah, the sacred box. Weren’t you listening to my story? The disco ball’s just a star… but the box is Star Maker. See? (She puts a rock in the chest. After closing it for a moment, the rock has turned into a disco ball.)
Poppy: (With her legs dancing) Oh!
DJ Suki: (chuckles) I guess it makes sense that you just wanted the disco ball. I never should have given you the box in the first place. My bad! (She gives the disco ball to Poppy.) See you at the banquet. Oh, and thanks for telling me the truth. Later! (Poppy chuckles and looks at her annoyed friends.)
Poppy: Guess I should have just come clean right away, huh?
All: You think?!
Poppy: Looks like we have a party.
