The following is a transcript for the episode "Give Me A Break".
== ==
(At Classical Crest, Poppy walks by a flower shop while humming. Then she picks up a vase of roses.)
Poppy: Oh! How gorgeous! (As she smells the roses, a violin sound causes the vase to crack.) Uh… I didn’t… (The vase cracks again. A female Classical Troll drinks water from a cracked vase.) Huh? What is going on? (She walks backwards to hear the sound better and sees Synth.) Synth?
Synth: Poppy! Thank my thumping EDM, I’m glad you’re here! Minuet won’t stop practicing! She’s straight up not slept in three days! (He shows Minuet playing her violin.)
Poppy: Three days?! Straight up?!
Synth: Straight up! And as you can see… (A male Classical Troll’s one-eyed glasses breaks.)
Classical Troll #1: Outrageous! I never…
Synth: Things are not good, yo! (He and Poppy open the door to Minuet’s pod.)
Poppy: Uh, Minuet?
Minuet: (Still playing her violin) Poppy! Synth! Welcome! Apologies for not greeting you properly, but I must prepare for a very important audition… (She plays a wrong note.) FORTISSIMO! (She plays her violin again.) You see, Dante is forming an elite musical ensemble to perform my favorite composition: The Cupcake Concerto. (She plays another wrong note.) SFORZANDO! Unfortunately, The Cupcake Concerto is notoriously difficult. Which is why I’m playing it over and over. After all, the only way to get better is to practice! (She plays yet another wrong note.) ALLEGRISSIMO, DECRESCENDO, CADENZA, MEZZO FORTE! 
Synth: Uh… I don’t know, Mini-Min. All this practice sure is breaking a lotta glass… (A pillow explodes.) … among other things.
Poppy: Synth’s right, Minuet. I mean, practice is great, but at a certain point, you need rest. To renew your energy, brighten your spirits, and give you fresh perspective.
Minuet: I’m sorry, rest? Now?! (laughs) No, no, no. Not until I can execute the piece flawlessly! Besides, I’m not the teast lot blired.
Poppy and Synth: Huh?
Minuet: Oh, silly me. I meant, lot the niste tile blursted. (She starts falling asleep.) Lel da bleast flit blaaa… (She wakes up.) I’M NOT THE LEAST BIT TIRED!
Poppy: But-
Minuet: OK, I think we can agree I’ve addressed all your concerns! (She guides Poppy and Synth outside.) This has been lovely! Off you go! (She closes her door.)
Poppy: OK, clearly she’s exhausted. She has to rest.
Synth: For real! We gotta get her to stop playing that violin like now, yo. ‘Cause this is bad. (Inside her pod, Minuet plays a wrong note and grunts.)
Poppy: OK, Minuet will stop practicing if we distract her with a performance from the cutest, most talented person in all of TrollsTopia.
Synth: (chuckles) Aw, Poppy, you flatter me!
Poppy: (Holding up Perky) Perky! (Perky squeaks.)
Synth: Oh, you meant your pet ‘cause you think of your pet as a person. That’s cool. (chuckles nervously)
Poppy: OK, Perky, maximum adorability. (Perky jumps onto a big red ball and juggles cupcakes.) Mm-hm. Make it so.
Synth: Aw! (Perky rolls into Minuet’s pod.)
Minuet: Huh? (She watches Perky juggle and gasp.) Oh! Perky?! I had no idea you were so talented! Oh, there’s no way I can resist! I must play with you this instant! (Outside, Poppy and Synth watch and laugh. Then they high-five.)
Poppy and Synth: Yeah! Huh? (They go inside Minuet’s pod and see her and Perky playing their violins.)
Minuet: Uh-huh. Elbow up. That’s it!
Synth: She really is talented.
Poppy: (Doing a facepalm) I know. (Later, Demo carries a couch to Minuet’s pod. He winks at Poppy and Synth and they give him a thumbs-up.)
Demo: Woe! Woe is me! Shall no-one assist me in my hour of need?!
Minuet: Demo? Did you say you need help?
Demo: Indeed! For I must move this couch to Rock Hollow, but I am powerless to carry it alone! If only there was just one Troll who could drop everything they’re doing and help!
Rock Troll #1: I’ll do it.
Classical Troll #2: Count me in!
Funk Troll #1: I love helping people move!
Demo: Just one Troll!
All: Aw!
Demo: (With cute eyes) Who will lend me their hand?!
Minuet: Oh, Demo! I would, but I’m practicing for an audition. Then again, what kind of Troll would I be if I don’t assist a friend in need? Oh! (Demo gasps happily while Poppy and Synth high-five.)
Poppy: Yaaaaaay!
Synth: Yeaaaaaah!
Both: Huh? (They see Minuet helping Demo while using her feet to play her violin.)
Minuet: There. Now, where exactly do you want this?
Demo: Uh… (Soon, Minuet is close to falling asleep. She plays another wrong note.)
Minuet: GAH!
Poppy: Oh! She’s this close to falling asleep! She just needs a little nudge and it’s nighty-night.
Synth: That’s why we’re gonna throw down this warm milk, these sleepy sleep candles, and a woopie with which to snuggle. (He hugs Lord Prickles. As he and Poppy bring the sleep stuff into Minuet’s pod, they sing Sleep Now.)
(Poppy)
Close those eyes 
You’re so tired
Drift off to this lullaby
(Synth)
Why stay up
When you could
Settle down
Just like you should
(Both)
You’re getting sleepy
Oh, your eyes are heavy
Don’t you wanna lie down
Sleep now
Close those eyes
Tune it out
Sleep now
Just relax
Settle down (They see that Minuet is in bed.)
Poppy and Synth: (gasp) Yeah! Oh! (quietly) Yeah!
Synth: Aw, look at her there. All snuggled up. Her little spikey hair out the top of the blanket.
Poppy: Yeah. (She and Synth become shocked.)
Both: Spikey hair?! (Poppy removes the blanket, revealing Lord Prickles.)
Minuet: (From outside) I knew it! (She knocks down the fake night background.) You two are trying to make me take a break! Well, you won’t succeed! I will never stop practicing! (We zoom in on her.) NEVER! (Poppy and Synth walk slowly toward her. They jump out the window and grab her feet. This causes them to fall into a tunnel. Minuet gets up and goes to the left. Poppy and Synth follow her. As Minuet flies, he steps in front of her. As he laughs, she goes under his fins. He fails to catch her.)
Synth: Oh!
Minuet: Ha! (She hides behind a pillar.)
Synth: Minuet, we’re just trying to help!
Minuet: Phew. (Poppy clears her throat and Minuet sees her.)
Poppy: I can hear you playing violin. (Minuet laughs nervously and flies away. Synth comes out from the right path.)
Synth: Ha! (He and Poppy surround Minuet. Just before she is caught, she flies up to a locked door and tries to unlock it with her feet. Poppy and Synth climb the ladder. On the stage, some Classical Trolls are doing some acting.)
Classical Troll #3: Yeah, dost thou say? Then I doth say nay! Nay doth I say! (Poppy, Synth, and Minuet come out the trapdoor on the stage.)
Poppy: Stop right there, Minuet! You’ve got to take a break!
Minuet: I told you! I shall never stop practicing! Never!
Classical Troll #4: Oh, my. This certainly took an interesting turn.
Classical Troll #5: I had now idea Minuet was even in this production.
Synth: Come on, Minuet! Just put the violin down and get some rest!
Minuet: I can’t do that!
Poppy: But we only want what’s best for you!
Minuet: What’s best for me is to prepare for the audition!
Poppy: Resting is preparing for the audition!
Minuet: No, it isn’t!
Poppy: Why not?!
Minuet: I told you! Because practice is the only way to get better!
Poppy: Well, are you getting better?
Minuet: (Playing a wrong note) NO! (The crowd gasps.)
Classical Troll #5: Oh, my.
Holly: (Holding popcorn) Hot dang! Are y’all’s plays always this good?
Minuet: No. If I’m being honest, I… I’m not getting better. I’m so tired. It’s been some time since I’ve made progress at all.
Poppy: Well, then what to lose by giving us the violin and giving yourself a break? (Minuet gives Poppy her violin and Synth her stick and the crowd cheers.)
Classical Troll #6: Bravo!
Classical Troll #5: Encore! Encore!
Holly: (With tears in her eyes) I’m so confused, y’all, but I love it! (Poppy and Synth take a bow and see Minuet sleeping.)
Poppy: Let’s take her home. (Synth picks up Minuet to bring her to bed. That night, Poppy, Dante, and Synth are watching a Classical Troll play a cello.)
Dante: Mm, very good indeed. Thank you. Will anyone else be putting forward an audition?
Cooper: (In a clown outfit) Yup! (He plays an accordion.)
Dante: Will anyone else be putting forward a serious audition?
Cooper: Nope! (He laughs and leaves.)
Dante: Hm. I’m actually quite surprised we haven’t heard from Minuet.
Poppy: (Raising her hand) She’ll be here. She’s just taking a much needed break.
Dante: Well, I’m afraid I must make my selections today, so how certain are you that she will-
Minuet: (Zooming by) I’m here! (She accidentally knocks Dante off his chair.) I just woke up 30 seconds ago, but I’m here! (She starts playing her violin. Dante gasps.)
Synth: We’re pretty certain, yo. (Dante watches Minuet.)
Dante: Heavens! Minuet, this is the finest I’ve ever heard you play!
Minuet: Thank you! I owe it all to practice. And a bit of rest. (She winks at Poppy and Synth.)
Dante: Well, I have heard enough! Brava, Minuet! And welcome to our ensemble. You shall be second chair violin.
Minuet: Wait, second chair? Who is first? (Dante points at Perky playing her violin.)
Dante: She’s just so talented.
Poppy, Synth, and Minuet: We know!
Holly: Hot dang! Are y’all’s auditions always this good?
