Troll Exchange Program/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "Troll Exchange Program".
== ==
(Poppy is on the big mushroom about to make an announcement to the residents of TrollsTopia.)
Poppy: Thank you for gathering, TrollsTopia. The Techno Trolls have informed me that a special guest is visiting from Techno Reef and his arrival will be… earthshattering.
Cooper: I don’t get it. (Suddenly, the ground starts to shake.)
All: Oh! (The ground crumbles and water comes out of it.)
Cooper: Oh, now I get it. (He laughs and the whole fills with water. Luckily, he gets out of it. A huge whale comes out of the water.)
All: Ooh! (Cooper poops a cupcake and it floats in the water. The whale’s mouth opens and a Techno Troll’s shadow is seen.)
Poppy: I give you… (We reveal that it is King Trollex.) … King Trollex! (The crowd cheers and the whale sticks out its tongue. Trollex then removes his cape.) Greetings, King Trollex. What’s the reason for your visit?
King Trollex: I’m a huge fan of TrollsTopia, Queen Poppy! In fact, it’s inspired me, king of all Techno Trolls, to lay out our own beat into this sick cultural mix. Check it out. (The whale’s tongue goes back in its mouth along with King Trollex. He then appears from its blowhole.) I want to invite one TrollsTopian to come live at Techno Reef for an entire year!
All: Oh!
King Trollex: That Troll will be fully immersed in Techno culture while teaching my Tribe the values and traditions of their own heritage. I call it King Trollex’s Troll Exchange Program! (He blows airhorns and the crowd cheers.)
DJ Suki: A chance to live in Techno Reef for a whole year?!
Gust: For news that good, I think I’ll toss up my 20 gallon hat (He picks up a huge cowboy at and throws it in the air.) Yeeeee-haaaaw! (The crowd stops cheering for a moment to see if Gust is alright and they go back to cheering.)
All: Yeah! (Trollex goes back to the ground and water splashes on Poppy.)
Poppy: A Troll exchange program?! (She shakes herself to dry off.) Which Troll will you choose?
King Trollex: Well, Poppy, I came to TrollsTopia because you are the cultural exchange experts. So the question is, which Troll will you all choose?
Poppy: Ah! (At the Tribal Council pod, she has a meeting with Holly, Synth, Dante, Lownote, and Val.) Tribal Council. Requests are pouring in from Trolls who want to be chosen for this program. So I took the Poppy-tunity to scrap together a few assessments that will help us pick the best candidate. Are you with me?!
All: (Sounding sad) Yeah…
Poppy: Guys. Was that… (gasps) … halfhearted?!
Val: Yeah, you are right.
Branch: I think I can explain, Poppy. Now, I realize I’m not a council member and that I’m just here to take painfully detailed minutes of the meeting. But that is arguably the most important job of all, so… (The Tribal Council groans.)
Val: Come on!
Branch: (Typing on a typewriter) Grownup jealousy, noted. Anyway, I think we’re all a little down because choosing someone for the program means saying good-bye to a TrollsTopian.
Val: Minutes boy has a point, Poppy. It’s like we always say, the Trolls of TrollsTopia are like many notes forming one beautiful chord.
Holly: Yeah. But when even one of them note go missin’, well, the music just ain’t as sweet.
All: Yeah.
Poppy: Look, guys, I hear you. But this is bigger than any one Troll. This Exchange Program means the values behind TrollsTopia are spreading throughout the Trolls world.
All: Yeah.
Poppy: Then let’s not focus on who will lose. Let’s focus on finding the right Troll to send. Someone who gets real joy from learning about Techno culture and just as much joy sharing their own culture with others.
All: Yeah!
Poppy: Then I ask again… (She jumps onto the table and takes out pom poms.) … are you with me?!
All: (As confetti shoots in the air) YEAH!
Branch: (Typing) Overblown Troll enthusiasm. Noted. (Later, Poppy and Val are hosting the first assessment round.)
Poppy: Candidate assessments round 1. Interviews. (She and Val are with Guy Diamond.) Tell us why you’d be a great fit for this program.
Guy Diamond: Great? (laughs) I’m afraid I’m far too humble to say such a thing about myself. Tiny. (Tiny Diamond pops out of his father’s hair.)
Tiny Diamond: My daddy is the greatest! And y’all know it.
Poppy and Val: (Taking notes) Hm. (Later, Holly is hosting the 2nd assessment round.)
Poppy: Round 2. Essays. (Demo is on the stage.)
Demo: (clears his throat and on the microphone) My essay is entitled… YEAH! Are you ready to rock?! (Some fireworks explode in the air. Demo then puts on glasses.) Colon. “The importance of sharing Rock traditions with other Tribes.”
Holly: (Taking notes) Hm!
Poppy: Round 4! (Lownote takes notes.) Round 9! (Dante takes notes.) Round 12! (Synth hosts a swim race. Blues, Minuet, DJ Suki, and Demo are the competitors. Synth blows a party popper and they start swimming. DJ Suki reaches the finish first.)
DJ Suki: Yeah! 
Poppy: Hm. (Back at the Tribal Council pod, Branch makes an announcement.)
Branch: Council members, after adding up your scores, I’m pleased to announce that you finally found the best candidate. (He turns a chart to show the competitors’ scores.) DJ Suki.
All: Oh. (They become sad.)
Holly: I guess that means DJ Suki is the one leavin’ TrollsTopia.
Val: She does seem like the perfect Troll to go live at Techno Reef.
All: Yeah.
Poppy: No, wait. There’s a problem. At the swimming assessment, I noticed that DJ accidentally began the race before the starting party popper. Therefore, I’m afraid we have no choice but to throw out DJ’s swimming score completely.
All: Huh?
Synth: Throw it out? But why? DJ won that race by a mile, yo.
Branch: Plus, if we disqualify her score then… (He erases part of DJ Suki’s score.) … that brings her to a direct tie with two other Trolls.
Poppy: I’m sorry, but if we want to make sure we found the right Troll, my assessment scrapbook says we must begin… the tie-breaker rounds. (Later, she is underwater with Minuet, DJ Suki, and Demo.) Round 18, underwater campfires. (Minuet gets frustrated after failing to make a campfire underwater. Soon, another round is starting.) Round 23, shadow puppets. (Demo, DJ Suki, and Minuet make shadow puppets. Demo makes his shadow puppet eat DJ Suki and Minuet’s shadow puppets.) Round 59, rub your head and pat your tummy. (DJ Suki, Minuet, and Demo struggle to rub their heads and pat their tummies. Even Minuet falls over.) Round 212. Guess what number I’m thinking of?
All: No way! (It is revealed that Poppy was imagining the idea.)
Poppy: Sorry. What was that?
Val: We said those assessment ideas don’t make any sense! There’s no way we’re doing them.
Holly: Poppy, what is goin’ on here?! It almost feels like you’re makin’ stuff up as you go. Just to drag this out.
Poppy: Drag it out? No, that’s not it. (She takes out her scrapbook.) It’s all in here. On page 153, paragraph 9. The scrapbook clearly explains, “In the event of a three-way tie.” (Val takes her book.) Hey!
Val: Ha! There is no page 153!
All: What?!
Poppy: No! It’s not what it looks like. I… I was just… (The ambassadors stare angrily at her.) Just… All right, fine! I am dragging things out because I don’t want anyone to leave! (The ambassadors gasp.) I’m sorry. I know I said that we shouldn’t focus on who we might lose. But I can’t help it, OK? I just love you all too much. And the thought of saying good-bye to one of you, any of you, it’s… it’s… it’s just too sad. (Holly gets up to comfort Poppy.
Holly: Trust us, Poppy girl. No-one understands that feeling more than you do.
Val: She’s right, Popsqueak. We all had to say good-bye to people loved, too when we came here.
Poppy: Oh. Oh, yeah. Of course. 
Val: And the truth is, sometimes it feels sad. Even now.
Holly: But, Poppy, what you realize, and I know this will be hard to believe so you’re just goin’ to have to trust us. You realize that bein’ part of this TrollsTopian dream you started, learnin’ to love and respect different Trolls from different Tribes. Livin’ together in perfect harmony. Well, it’s so worth it.
Poppy: Really? (She looks at the ambassadors and they nod.)
Holly: Really. (Later, Poppy is talking to King Trollex.)
Poppy: Well. King Trollex, the Tribal Council has made a decision. Our choice for the Exchange Program is… (She moves out of the way and DJ Suki appears with her bag.) … DJ Suki! (The crowd cheers. DJ Suki puts her bag down and waves to them. Trollex whistles and his whale comes out of the water. He gets on its tongue and holds out a hand. DJ Suki stops and looks at Poppy. We see that she has tears in her eyes.) You know I love you, right?
DJ Suki: Trust me, no matter where I go, no matter what I do, if there’s only one thing I always know for sure, it’s that Poppy loves me. (Poppy gives her a hug. After that, Poppy walks her to King Trollex’s whale. Then she lets go as the whale starts to move.) Later. (The whale closes its mouth goes under the water. Poppy remains sad for a moment. Then she and her friends sing the reprise of the show’s theme song as they start to join hands.)
(Poppy)
You can do it solo
But then you’d be all by yourself
(Holly)
So it’d be more fun to this one with someone else
(Val)
Together we will soar
Across the sky and beyond
(Branch)
So tune up your voice
Stand up and sing along
(All)
All different voices 
Our melody’s ringing
We’re livin’ in harmony
We’re livin’ in harmony
Our song is much stronger 
With every Troll singing
We’re livin’ in harmony
We’re livin’ in harmony
All different voices
Our melody’s ringing
We’re livin’ in harmony
We’re livin’ in harmony
Our song is much stronger
With every Troll singing
We’re livin’ in harmony
(Poppy sheds another tear.)
Poppy: Worth it. (The screen goes black and the episode and the entire series ends.)
