Ready, Set, Calendar!/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "Ready, Set, Calendar!".
== ==
(At Poppy’s pod, her phones are ringing and she answers them.)
Poppy: Hello? Yes, I’m aware of the problem. Hold, please. Hello? Of course. I understand why you’d be upset. Please hold. Hi. Wow, that’s a very un-Trolly word, but I totally get it. Hold, please. (She puts down the phone and sighs.)
Guy Diamond: Poppy? (He and Holly come over to Poppy.) Uh, you wanted to see us?
Poppy: Guy, Holly, thank you for coming. Please, make a seat. (Guy Diamond and Holly make a seat with their hair.) A problem has reached critical mass in TrollsTopia. Combining all of the Tribes has also meant combining all their traditions. And I’m afraid we now have… too many holidays.
Guy Diamond and Holly: Uh…
Holly: Sorry, Poppy, but how can havin’ more holidays be a bad thing?
Poppy: ‘Cause no-one can keep them all straight. This morning Biggie thought it was the Hard Rock Tribe’s Opposite Day, and well… (We go to the past where Biggie goes to Rock Hollow.)
Biggie: Bad morning, Hard Rock Trolls! I just popped by to wish you all a horrible day because I really don’t care about you and consider you all the worst Trolls I know! (The Rock Trolls start to whimper in sadness. As they start crying, Biggie runs away and we go back to the present.)
Guy Diamond: It sounds to me like needs some sort of special calendar to track all the holidays.
Poppy: Exactly, Guy. In fact, a calendar is being designed as we speak. And that’s where you come in. To fix the problem we need the calendar to catch on, so it has to be bold and eye-catching. And since you two are some of the most stylish Trolls I know, I’d like you to take the pictures for it.
Guy Diamond and Holly: Ooh! (Tiny Diamond pops out of his father’s hair.)
Tiny Diamond: Dang! What an honor, Daddy! This calls for my famous celebrational airhorns! (He blows his airhorns.)
Holly: Woooooo-hooooo!
Guy Diamond: Yeah!
Both: Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Poppy: Now, I’ll need these a week from today. Just remember, the calendar is our one shot at getting out of this “holi-daze” we’re stuck in, so make sure the pictures are exceptional! 
Tiny Diamond: Dang! What a responsibility, Daddy! Better break out my lesser-known “Time to get serious: airhorns! (She he blows his airhorns again. Later, Guy Diamond and Holly are getting ready to take a picture of Synth who is water skiing.)
Guy Diamond: Looking good, Synth!
Synth: Woo-hoo!
Guy Diamond: (On the megaphone) A classic “Summertime” shot for the calendar!
Synth: Nice, bro! (He poses and Holly takes a picture of him.)
Holly: It’s so good!
Guy Diamond: There’s only one thing to do with a photograph like this! (Holly tears up the picture she took.)
Tiny Diamond: (gasps) Daddy’s friend Holly, why did you tear up that sweet pic?
Holly: ‘Cause we ain’t shootin’ for sweet pics, Tiny. This calendar has got to catch on!
Guy Diamond: That’s right! (He speaks through the megaphone again.) We’re going again, Synth! But this time it has to be… exceptional!
Synth: Uh… All right. But how do we do that? (Soon, there are five Techno Trolls on him.) Take the picture! Take the picture!
Holly: And… (She takes the picture.) There!
Guy Diamond: Not bad. (He speaks through the megaphone once more.) But let’s add the big jump!
Synth and the Techno Trolls: The what?! (They see a ramp with a flaming hoop and scream in terror. Later, Minuet and Demo are holding rakes next to leaves.)
Guy Diamond: Hold it. (He takes a picture of Minuet and Demo.) Ha-ha! (He shows the picture to Holly.)
Holly: I don’t know, Guy. Does this say exceptional “Fall Time Fun” to you?
Guy Diamond: Hm… Tiny! More leaves! (Tiny Diamond adds more leaves.)
Both: More! More! (Tiny adds even more leaves.) More!
Guy Diamond: There! That’s enough! (The camera zooms out to show Demo and Minuet’s eyes in the leaf pile.)
Minuet: Um… Are you sure this is right? You can’t even see our faces.
Guy Diamond: Sure you can! Holly! (Holly is seen on a hot air balloon. She takes a picture of the leaves in the shapes of Demo and Minuet’s faces.)
Holly: We got it, y’all! (In Country Corral, she and Guy Diamond get ready to take a picture of DJ Suki and Gust.) Gust, DJ, when we launch the fireworks, that’s your cue to hug.
Guy Diamond: And remember: the hug needs to be…
Both: … exceptional! (Holly presses a button on a remote and fireworks launch. DJ Suki and Gust hug while looking at Holly and Guy Diamond. The picture is then taken.)
Guy Diamond: Was it exceptional?
Holly: Hm… This feels more like a “casual acquaintance hug.” Let’s go again!
DJ Suki and Gust: Uh… (More pictures are taken with them hugging.)
Guy Diamond: No, no! That’s a “meeting your 2nd cousin for the first time” hug. Again! It’s too “Thank you for picking up the mail while I was gone.”
Holly: Too “Hugging more for warmth than friendship.”
Guy Diamond: Too “Went in for a hug but then realized they’d prefer a handshake.” (Finally, they get the perfect picture.) OK, I think we got it. Yes!
Holly: Now that’s a hug, y’all!
DJ Suki and Gust: Phew.
Guy Diamond: But we forgot the fireworks! Let’s go again! (Later, he and Holly take more pictures for the calendar. As they do, they sing 110 Percent.)
(Holly)
Yeee
We’ll take it right to
The Top then push it on over
And no nothing can stop
The perfect exposure
(Holly and Guy Diamond)
So, baby, work it for me
Work it for me
Turn up the heat
And make it burn for me
Burn for me
We need it all to go
Just perfectly, perfectly
So we can make it
Exceptional!
We’re giving it 110 percent y’all
We’re giving it all
We got and then some
We’re giving it 110 percent y’all
We’re not gonna stop
Till it’s exceptional
We’re giving it! (After a week, Poppy is looking at the photos.)
Poppy: Guys… these photos… there’s no other way to describe them but… exceptional.  (Holly, Guy, and Tiny Diamond cheer happily.)
Tiny Diamond: Hooray!
Guy Diamond: We did it!
Holly: We did it!
Guy Diamond: We appreciate your feedback.
Poppy: Of course! I can’t wait to add these to the calendar and- (She sees that there are only 11 pictures.) Wait, hold on. There’s only 11 pictures here. Where’s Glee-cember?
Guy Diamond: Ah, yes. Our winter picture. We saved the best for last.
Holly: Just imagine: A trio of Trolls knee-deep in a beautiful drift of authentic, white snow. They huddle together, friendship on full display…
Guy Diamond: And behind this stands a glorious gleaming castle sculpted entirely from solid ice…
Poppy: Whoa! That sounds amazing…
Holly: Yes, it does. Now all we have to do is wait 11 months and we’ll shoot it!
Poppy: What… wait, 11 months?
Guy Diamond: Um, yes. That’s how long it will be before it snows again. Why?
Poppy: But… no… Guys, TrollsTopia needs this calendar now! This morning, Biggie went to apologize for his earlier mix-up, not realizing it was Hard Rock Opposite Day! (We go to the past where Biggie goes to visit the Rock Trolls.)
Past Biggie: Good morning, Hard Rock Trolls. I am very sorry for what I did. You are some of the best Trolls I know and I particularly like the way you smell! (The Hard Rock Trolls whimper and start crying again, making Biggie run away. We then go back to the present.)
Poppy: Look, your Glee-cember photo idea is exceptional, without a doubt, but you need to work within our limitations. So, please, come up with something simpler and get it to me by tomorrow, OK? (Soon, Holly, Guy, and Tiny Diamond sadly walk outside.)
Tiny Diamond: Well, I guess it’s time to come up with a simpler idea. I better break out my thinking airhorns. (He blows his airhorn.)
Guy Diamond: No, Tiny. TrollsTopia doesn’t need a simple calendar; they need an exceptional one! We can still take our ice castle photo, if we don’t wait for snow to come to us!
Holly: Hey, you’re right, Guy! (She points to a tall snow mountain.) We can go to the snow! (She and Guy Diamond laugh.)
Tiny Diamond: Wait, wait, wait, Daddy. Daddy’s friend. You’re not thinking what I think you’re thinking, are you, Daddy? Daddy’s friend? (After a while, Guy Diamond and Holly are climbing the mountain. They are dressed in winter gear.) Yeah, you were thinking it. (He goes inside his father’s hair to stay warm.)
Guy Diamond: We’ve got to hurry, Holly! Poppy needs this picture by tomorrow and we’re running out of sunlight! (He and Holly are climbing a wall using axes. His axe soon breaks and he falls screaming. Luckily, Holly saves him with her hair. Then they continue climbing. Some ice falls in front of Holly.)
Holly: Aah! (More ice falls from above. Luckily, Guy Diamond drags Holly out of the way just in time.)
Both: Phew! (They take cover in a cave with a little fire to warm up. It soon goes out.) Huh? (They look up and see a snow monster and scream. Finally, the reach the top of the mountain. Then they start building an ice castle. By the time they finish, the sun is setting.)
Guy Diamond: The sun’s setting! Quick, Tiny! Set the timer! Holly, the snow cones! (Tiny Diamond gets the camera ready and Holly gets snow cones.)
All: Cheese! (One of the flags on the castle droops.)
Holly: (gasps) Wait! (Guy Diamond gasps and fixes the flag.) 
Guy Diamond: Phew! (He doesn’t notice that the ice castle is starting to break.) Thank goodness we fixed that flag. Otherwise we would have had a complete disaster on our hands. (The ice castle breaks completely.)
Holly: (gasps) Oh, no! The castle!
Guy Diamond: The picture! (He looks at the picture.) 
Holly: It’s just… us. We can’t use this for the calendar.
Guy Diamond: I’m afraid we have to. We’ve run out of light. And time. (He and Holly sigh.)
Tiny Diamond: Yeah. Plus, that snow monster is back, so… (They see the snow monster and scream and run away. The next day, they are back at Poppy’s pod.)
Guy Diamond: Well, we tried to make an exceptional picture for Glee-cember and… this is what we have to show for it. (He gives the picture to Poppy.)
Holly: Poppy… we’re so sorry we ruined the calendar. You put your trust in us and we went and let you down.
Poppy: I… I… love it!
Holly and Guy Diamond: Huh?
Holly: You what? 
Guy Diamond: But without the ice castle, it’s just-
Poppy: Just three friends sharing a moment. It’s simple… and sweet… and everything that TrollsTopia is all about. You did exactly what I asked for.
Guy Diamond: Oh… Oh, yes. That’s exactly what we did.
Holly: Mm-hm. Everythin’ you just said right there. Uh-huh.
Poppy: Well, of all the photos you took, this one is definitely my favorite. Thank you, guys. This is truly exceptional.
Guy Diamond and Holly: Aw!
Tiny Diamond: Oh, snap! It’s that snow monster again! (Poppy, Guy Diamond, and Holly scream and run away. The snow monster picks up a photo and smiles.)
