The following is a transcript for the episode "Haircuffed".
== ==
(Smidge is playing a game of bowling while trying to get Troll Village’s first perfect score game. Some Trolls are acting like bowling pins. The other Trolls watch and Poppy is the host.)
Poppy: (Through the microphone) And now she readies for her final bowl. (Smidge walks to her bug.) Sizing up the pins. (The bug blows air.) With a strike, she’ll have Troll Village’s first perfect game. (Smidge gets ready to roll.) Tension builds. (Smidge grunts while getting ready.) You can hear a hair drop as she makes her approach. (Smidge runs to the lane and starts rolling. Just then, Branch and Creek appear while having an argument.)
Creek: Oh, just wait until I tell Poppy! (The Trolls gasp.)
Branch: … held accountable for your stuff, man! (They run across the lane and Smidge yells. She tries to stop her rolling hair and rolls off the lane. Creek and Branch stop running and continue to argue.)
Both: Poppy, you need to settle this right now!
Poppy: (groans) Please, guys, not another one of your dumb arguments.
Branch: Oh, there’s nothing dumb about this. Creek stole a bite from… (He takes out his noisen-berry with a bite mark.) ... my noisen-berry. (He honks his noisen berry.)
Creek: Steal?! (He takes Branch’s noisen-berry.) Noisen-berries belong to Mother Nature! I can’t steal any more than I can steal a rainbow or a summer breeze.
Branch: (Taking his noisen-berry from Creek) I grew it!
Creek: (chuckles) Minimizing the role of the sun and the earth a bit, aren’t we, mate? (He takes the noisen-berry again.)
Branch: (Trying to take back the noisen-berry) I’m gonna minimize something! (He and Creek fight for the noisen-berry. Poppy stops them by pushing them away from each other.)
Poppy: Enough! Guys, everyone is sick of your constant bickering! (We go to a flashback to where Branch is buying a drink.)
Drink Owner: Next! (Just as Branch moves, Creek appears with a bug carrying him in the air.)
Past Branch: Hey, hey! I was next in line!
Past Creek: (Taking the drink) In nature, there are no lines. (He flies away with the drink and Branch grunts angrily. We go to another flashback where Branch and Creek are seeing a wish star.)
Past Branch: That’s my wish star! (He pushes Creek away from the telescope.)
Past Creek: I can wish on the star, too!
Past Branch: No! Only one wish per star! (We go to the last flash back to where a monster is attacking the Trolls.)
Past Creek: It’s going to swallow us whole!
Past Branch: Wrong! It will chew us up first! (The monster gets closer to him and Creek and they scream. We then shift back to the present.)
Poppy: The fact is, Creek, sometimes you can be insensitive. (Creek gasps.)
Branch: Ha!
Poppy: And, Branch, you can be very rigid with your rules. (Branch gasps and Creek laughs.) Now, I don’t expect you to be the best of friends, but so help me, if you can’t get along, I’ll be forced to take serious action.
Creek: Poppy, I hear you. See, you have to get along with me.
Branch: No, you have to get along with me!
Creek: Oh, that’s not what she said. You never hear her!
Branch: I liked it more when you were away from everyone!
Creek: Oh, what are you talking about, mate?
Branch: Stop calling me mate, by the way! I’m not your mate!
Both: Oh, forget it! You’re impossible! (They try to angrily walk away from each other, but they realize that they cannot be separated.) What the? (They look up to see their hair attached to each other in a big knot and gasp.)
Creek: Great downward dog!
Branch: What is that?!
Poppy: (Using her hair as steps) You are stuck together with a Befriending Bow. A little something from my dad’s day, designed to teach Trolls to reconcile their differences. He says it’s surprisingly powerful.
Branch and Creek: Huh?
Chenille: Oh, snap!
Satin: You’re in our world now, sons!
Both: (Giving each other a high-five) Yeah! (They walk away. Creek and Branch gasp and try to free their hair, but Poppy stops them.)
Poppy: Uh-uh! It’s self-tightening, so the harder you pull, the worst it gets. In fact, pull too hard and it’s permanent. (She walks away from Branch and Creek.) See you guys when you learn to appreciate each other.
Creek: No! You can’t!
Branch: Poppy, this is way over the line. Poppy! (As he and Creek run after Poppy, Smidge rolls by and hits all of the bowling pins.)
Smidge: Perfect game! (She laughs with joy. At Branch’s bunker, he is searching for something to free his and Creek’s hair.)
Branch: Can’t believe Poppy. Look, I’ve got a lot to do, and being stuck with you is not getting in the way of that. (He takes out a pair of scissors.) There! (He tries to cut their hair, but the scissors shatter pieces. They both gasp.) How in the world?!
Creek: Oh, bravo. Channel your chi much. (He puts their hair on the table. He tries to use a chain-saw to cut it, but it breaks.) Huh? (Branch grabs their hair and smells it.)
Branch: (gasps) Poppy coated it with hairspray. Maximum hold. (Creek grabs their hair and smells it.)
Creek: (gasps) She’s diabolical! Well, that does it. This day is ruined. (He lets go of their hair.)
Branch: Not if we use... (The hair knot hits him in the face and he yells in pain.) ... a schedule.
Creek: While I’d love to follow your rigid time table, Branch, I’m afraid the universe prefers I spend my days a bit more… freely. (He picks up some erasers and claps them against Branch’s face. He grunts with annoyance.) Instead, I think we should take turns doing whatever we hade planned.
Branch: (Wiping the eraser dust off his face) That is the schedule.
Creek: Must we label everything.
Branch: (grunts) Fine. But we do one of my things first. (He drags Creek along with him.)
Creek: Hey! (They go over to a table.)
Branch: There’s a puzzle I’ve been meaning to finish. (He opens a puzzle box and pours out so many puzzle pieces.)
Creek: What?! But that will take hours!
Branch: Hey, this was your idea, so we’re not moving until the last piece is placed. (Creek grabs a broom and throws the puzzle pieces into the fireplace. Branch gasps.)
Creek: What do you know? Last piece… placed. My turn! (Branch groans once more. Later, he and Creek are in a yoga class.) Inhale. (He and Branch inhale.) And exhale. (He exhales while Branch lets out a huge burp. The Trolls in the yoga class run away.) How dare you!
Branch: OK, my turn! (Creek pulls him forward.) Whoa! Hey!
Creek: Now, let that be a lesson- (Branch pulls him forward. This causes them to be dragged toward a cliff. They fall down it screaming. Luckily, their attached hair lands on a branch, breaking their fall. They pant to calm down.) What kind of a Troll throws someone off a cliff?!
Branch: You threw me first!
Creek: Nope! Not hearing this! Going into my tranquil inner mind! (He does a yoga pose and starts humming.)
Branch: But you did throw me first! (Creek doesn’t stop humming.) You did! (Creek still doesn’t stop. Branch grunts.) I can’t believe Poppy! The nerve of her sticking me with her!
Creek: You don’t have to tell me! I blame her for this entire mess!
Branch: Oh, yeah?!
Creek: Yeah!
Branch: WELL, IF WE’RE REALLY MAD AT HER, WHY ARE WE YELLING AT EACH OTHER?!
Creek: I DON’T KNOW!!! (He and Branch calm down.)
Both: Huh. (They look at each other and smile. Meanwhile, Poppy and the Snack Pack are looking for Branch and Creek.)
Poppy, Satin, and Chenille: Branch!
Smidge: Where are you?
Poppy, Satin, and Chenille: Creek!
Poppy: Gosh, where could they be? I hope nothing bad happened to them because of the Befriending Bow. (She hears music.) What is that? (She and her friends look in the grass.) Huh? (They see Branch and Creek with their backs turned. They turn around and begin to sing My Favorite Guy. As they sing, they do fun things in the sky.)
(Branch)
You’ll be seeing us together 
Day and night
(Creek)
He and I, birds of a feather Yeah, we’re flying high
(Both)
Ain’t nothing can come between
We so tight
Not brothers, but we feel Like Satin and Chenille
There’s nothing like our together time
Because we down I like everything you like
And it made me realize
You are the one, the one, the one (Oh)
You are the one, the one The one, the one (Yeah)
We don’t even got to try
We’re gonna be bros for life because you are the one 
The one, the one, the one 
Yeah, you’re my favorite guy
Poppy: (Running into the bush) Wow, wow, wow!
Branch and Creek: Huh? (They get off the caterpillar they were using during their song.)
Poppy: Incredible, guys! What happened to you?
Branch: The bow happened. At first we thought you were overstepping, but this thing is powerful. I mean, ever since you joined us together…
Both: Everything just clicks.
Poppy: Aw! (sniffs) You guys! I think I’m gonna ugly-cry. (She begins to cry and shows her crying face.) See?
Smidge: Oh, my Guh.
Poppy: (Wiping her tears) I am just thrilled this little experience worked. Let’s untie that bow.
Branch and Creek: No!
The Snack Pack: What?
Poppy: No?
Branch: Poppy, the bow made Creek and I brothers from another mother.
Creek: Chums from another mum. We’re not ready to disconnect just yet. (He touches Branch’s nose.) Boop.
Branch: (Touching Creek’s nose) Boop. (They touch each other’s noses two more times.)
Poppy: That’s fantastic. One sec. (She runs over to her friends.) This seems a bit weird to me.
Satin: Very weird. No-one would choose to be connected by the hair.
Chenille: No-one. (The twins groan and Poppy runs back over to Creek and Branch.)
Poppy: That’s fantastic! (groans) Oh! But you know what? What about when you want to spend time with another friend one-on-one?
Creek: (chuckles) Oh, that won’t be necessary, Poppy. (A bug floats down with a schedule.) As you can see on the schedule I made…
Branch: Mm-hm.
Creek: Every hour is dedicated to Branch and Creek time now. And it’s all thanks to you.
Poppy: Oh. (She chuckles sheepishly.) Good.
Branch: Ooh! Speaking of which, we’re late to start our meditation hour. After you, Creek-a-boo.
Creek: I insist, Branch Dressing. (They laugh as they walk away together.)
Smidge: They’re gonna spend all their time just with each other? I don’t know about this, Poppy.
Poppy: No, it’s… it’s fine. They’re just excited about this new phase in their friendship. It will pass. (Later, Poppy and the Snack Pack are playing with a ball while Branch is reading a book by a dressing wall. One of them throws the ball toward Branch.) Hey, Branch, want to play?
Branch: Ah, can’t. Creek and I are busy. (Creek comes out of the dressing wall wearing Branch’s clothes.)
Both: Twinsies! (Poppy laughs sheepishly.)
Poppy: Huh. (Later on, Branch and Creek ride the Tunnel of Friendship.)
Creek and Branch: (laugh) Again! (They say the same thing as they ride it several more times until it is nighttime.)
Poppy: Gee, you must be tired of riding that thing over and over.
Branch: Eep-eeple-dopple-dee.
Creek: That means “not at all” in the secret language we made up. (He and Branch do a high-five as the boat moves.)
Branch: Wahoo!
Creek: Yeah! (They laugh as they go on the ride again.)
Poppy: Um… (The next, day, Creek and Branch are lying down on a picnic blanket on a hill.)
Branch: I get along with you more.
Creek: (laughs) No, I get along with you more.
Branch: (laughs) No, I get along with you more.
Creek: No- (The camera zooms out to see Poppy, Smidge, Biggie, and Cooper relaxing.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh. Poppy, this is getting out of hand. You’ve gotta say something.
Poppy: Say what? That they’re too good of friends now? (groans) I can’t do that!
Creek: Oh, Poppy!
Branch: We’ve come to a decision, and we’d like your help with something. (Creek gives Poppy a card with a picture of them on it. She opens it and pop-up Trolls appear.)
Pop-up Trolls: Friendship permanence ceremony!
Poppy: What’s a “friendship permanence ceremony?
Creek: We’d like you to officially make our hair knot…
Branch: Last forever. (Poppy looks at the card for a moment and whimpers. Later, she is at the ceremony and is nervous.)
Branch and Creek: Make way for best friends! (They appear in the crowd and walk onto the stage.)
Poppy: (chuckles nervously) And so, after only 2 days of friendship… (Branch and Creek give her a thumbs-up.) With hard tug, Creek and Branch will now join their hair together… (The camera zooms into her mouth.) forever. (Her quote echoes.)
Satin: I’ll give it a month.
Poppy: Unless, of course, someone has a reason they shouldn’t. Anyone? (The crowd does not answer.) Anyone have a reason?!
Branch: Poppy? Is there a problem?
Poppy: I guess… not.
Creek and Branch: Great! (They pull on their attached hair and it starts to permanently be attached.)
Poppy: OK, stop! (The crowd gasps. Poppy uses her hair as the form of a key and unlocks Branch and Creek’s hair.)
Branch: Hey! What did you do that for?!
Creek: What’s the big idea?!
Poppy: Branch, Creek, I don’t know what happened, but this is crazy. I mean, I wanted you to get along, not completely change who you are. You were right from the start. I went too far when I put you in that bow. And I’m so sorry. (Creek and Branch look at each other.)
Branch and Creek: Hm.
Branch: That’s all we wanted to hear.
Poppy: Wait, what? You aren’t really best friends?
Creek: No! We just wanted to teach you a lesson, so we decided to work together to fake this whole thing.
Poppy: You did?
Branch: Yep. Branch and Creek for the win! (He and Creek high-five.) Booyah! (laughs) That friendship performance ceremony, that was a stroke of genius. (He and Creek leave the stage.)
Creek: Oh, thanks, mate!
Smidge: Uh… Don’t you want to point out hat, in teaming against you, they’re actually getting along so well?
Poppy: Nah. (The camera zooms into Creek and Branch.)
Creek: You focused on your partner. Wonderful. (He and Branch jump in the air and high-five.)
