== ==
(The book opens up and reflects the events of the movie.)
Poppy: For as long as anyone can remember, the happiest, the sunniest, singingest creatures in all the world were my people, the Trolls.
Trolls: Hey! Ho! (The instrumental version of Get Back Up Again is heard.) Hey!
Smidge: Hey!
Poppy: (As the Trolls sing) Look at us. We didn’t have a care in the world. (A Bergen’s foot crushes a Troll.) Except for Bergens. (As she explains more about the Bergens, In The Hall Of The Mountain King is heard.) See, Bergens didn’t sing or dance. They were always sad. No, sadder. Even sadder. Yep, nailed it. In fact, they thought the only way to become happy like a Troll was to, um…
Smidge: Oh, my Guh!
Poppy: Well, you get the idea. So Trolls and Bergens made peace, starting what I’m sure will be a harmonious new era. (The camera zooms out to reveal that Poppy was reading the book to Branch.) And that, Branch is why we’re having a parade today.
Branch: Thanks for the lengthy recap, Poppy. But I was there, remember? (He points to the page in the book.) That’s me.
Poppy: Oh, I know. I just saw an opportunity to share my scrapbook. And I took it. (Branch grunts.) Let the first annual Troll Liberation Parade begin! (She jumps onto a rock, Trolls come out of the bushes and she starts singing. As she sings, she and Branch help get ready for the parade.)
(Poppy)
Raise up your hands I want you dancing
(Branch)
Raise ‘em up, raise ‘em up now
(Poppy)
There’s no, no time to hesitate
(Branch)
Do it, do it now
(Poppy)
Lift up
(Poppy and Branch)
Your voices all together right now 
‘Cause your day is our day 
Say good-bye to the clouds 
Good-bye to the rain 
And look to a world Where everything’s changed 
And freedom is ours 
So let’s gather around and celebrate 
We are free together 
And we’re soaring so high 
Yeah, high in the sky 
And we’re smuggling by 
And shining so brightly 
Free forever 
And we’re livin’ our lives In lovin’ and laughter 
Freely and happily ever after (As soon as the song ends, the Trolls cheer.)
Poppy: Whoo! Great job, Trolls. As your queen, I decree that tomorrow, we’re having a Troll Liberation Party! (The crowd cheers again.)
Biggie: Hear that, Mr. Dinkles?! A party! (He hugs Mr. Dinkles.) Go ahead. It’s OK to cry.
Mr. Dinkles: Meep.
Poppy: Oh, it gets better, ‘cause I led us here to give this invitation to a very special guest. The Bergens! (The curtain opens up to reveal Bergen Town. The crowd remains silent and Poppy closes the curtain.) I said, the Bergens! (There is still silence. Poppy tries it again, but nothing happens.) What am I doing wrong here?
Branch: Poppy, come on. A party? With the Bergens? You’re kidding.
Cooper: She is? Oh, oh. Oh, OK. Oh. (He laughs and falls to the ground.) I get it now. It took me a second.
Poppy: Wha…? (groans) No. Guys, I’m inviting the Bergens ‘cause they’re our friends now, remember? We’ve been singing about it for a half hour. It’s a new era! See?
Branch: (Getting up on the stage) OK, that’s enough scrapbook for today. (He covers the scrapbook with a blanket.) Nighty-night, scrapbook.
Biggie: Sorry, Poppy. The Bergens are just so different than we are.
DJ Suki: And they’re not into our music.
Guy Diamond: (Jumping on mushrooms) They even hate being glittered! (He covers Cooper in glitter.)
Cooper: Who wouldn’t enjoy that?
Branch: And sure, we’re all glad the Bergens have promised not to eat us. But one, are we sure they all promised? (The crowd gasps.) Two, what if they change their minds? (The Trolls gasp again.) And three… I lifted too many fingers. (The crowd gasps once more.)
Poppy: Oh, please, you all are being ridiculous. I promise you, it’s perfectly safe. (King Gristle Jr. and Bridget open the curtains.)
King Gristle Jr. and Bridget: Did we miss the parade?! (The Trolls start screaming and running.)
Poppy: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! It’s just our friends! (Branch yells as the mushroom sends him flying. Poppy sighs and helps him up.) Hey, Bridget. Hey, Gristle.
Bridget: Oh, no. What scared them off?
Poppy: (Picking up her scrapbook) Guys, we’ve just got to get the Trolls and Bergens to be friends. So we are inviting you to a party.
Branch: Wha…?
Bridget: A Troll party? It’s a dream come true! All I need is a plus-one.
King Gristle Jr.: Oh! (He runs over to hug Bridget.)
(Bridget)
You make me feel
(Both)
Like there’s no 
Other people on this Earth
Branch: Whoa! Still here, guys. Feeling awkward.
King Gristle Jr.: Oh, yes, that’s right. Sorry.
Bridget: Oh, yeah. Sorry. Right.
Branch: Poppy, listen, you can’t do this party. The Trolls aren’t ready to have the Bergens in our village.
Poppy: Branch, just trust me. This party is gonna be a smash! (Back in the village, the party is ready.) This party’s a disaster! (The Bergens grumble.)
King Gristle Jr.: Go on, shake their hands.
Groth: (groans) Fine, go shake their hand. (A Bergen stomps over to the Trolls and kneels down to shake their hands. They gasp and Smidge bites one of his fingers. He yells in pain and sends Smidge flying.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh!
Buzby: Forget it! No worth it.
Biggie: Uh, excuse me. Would you care for some punch? (Groth picks up a bowl of pink punch and drinks it. Then he lets out a huge burp that knocks Biggie down.) Whoa!
Poppy: (grunts) Why can’t they just have fun together?!
Branch: Gee, I don’t know. Maybe because everyone here was everyone else’s worst enemy?
Poppy: Sarcasm. How refreshing, coming from you, Branch.
Branch: You should know we still have our old Bergen defenses. (He takes out a remote named Gary.) I’m not saying we use them, but… I’m saying we use them.
Poppy: No.
Branch: Come on, at least the nets.
Poppy: No, Branch! Get rid of that thing.
Branch: Get rid of Gary?
Poppy: Yes. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a- Wait, you named it?
Branch: I didn’t have that many friends till recently, okay?
Poppy: Anyway, as I was saying, I’ve got a party to save. (She runs to the Trolls and Bergens.) Who’s up for a game? (Groth takes a card with a pencil on it and draws with it on paper.) Is it a Troll?
Groth: Uh, uh, uh!
Poppy: Fun, eh, guys? (The Trolls murmur as Groth continues to draw. Soon his drawing shows a Bergen eating a Troll. The crowd screams and runs away.)
Groth: What? The clue was breakfast. I drew it Impeccably.
Poppy: Okay. Dancing, anyone? (The Trolls scream and run around as Chad and Todd dance around and stomp. King Gristle Jr. is seen dancing perfectly.) Just skip to the gift exchange! Gift exchange!
King Gristle Jr.: As a token of our new friendship, we present you, the Trolls, with this traditional Bergen gift. (Chad shows a Troll piñata.)
Cooper: Alright! Parade floats.
King Gristle Jr.: No. Piñatas! (He and Bridget begin hitting the piñata and the Trolls scream.) No, no, see, it’s filled with treats. (He takes out sausages and the Trolls hide. Branch takes out Gary to put out traps, but Poppy shakes her head. She then goes to calm her friends down.)
Poppy: Look, I get it. Some of our experiences with the Bergens today have been deeply scarring. But I swear, it’s all been one big miscommunication. (She jumps onto the top of a mushroom ladder.) Bridget’s a Bergen, and I trust her completely. You wouldn’t eat me, would you Bridget?
Bridget: Eat my best friend? No way. That’d be super weird.
Poppy: You sure? (She pulls a switch and she gets covered in syrup.) Even if I covered myself in syrup? (The Trolls gasp.)
Satin: Poppy, no!
Chenille: Too delicious.
Bridget: Never! I’m a powdered-sugar girl.
Poppy: Even if I put my head right in your mouth? (She opens Bridget’s mouth.)
All: Oh!
Buzby: Ooh.
Poppy: See? And if Bergens weren’t safe, I certainly couldn’t do this! (She pulls out Bridget’s tongue and jumps on it.) Whoo! Ha ha! Yeah! Woo-hoo! (The crowd smiles and watch.) And if you think that’s good, check this out! (She slips into Bridget’s mouth. The crowd screams.)
Groth: Ooh!
Guy Diamond: We were right to fear the Bergens! They’ve reverted to their old ways! (The Trolls scream and run around again. A group of Glitter Trolls fart fireworks at Tod.)
Groth: They’ve turned the tables! Defend yourselves!
Branch: Poppy, are you okay?
Poppy: Caught myself on this hangy-thingy! Bridge, a little help? (Bridget coughs her out.)
King Gristle Jr.: And are you okay, my love? (He and Bridget hold hands. They are about to sing when Branch stops them.)
Branch: Guys, not now!
King Gristle Jr.: Yep. Sorry about that.
Bridget: Okay. (The Trolls are still running and attacking the Bergens.
Satin and Chenille: (Running around each other) WHOOOOOAAA! (Smidge jumps onto a Bergen’s nose and punches his eyes.)
Poppy: Look at this mess! Ugh. You were right, Branch. We weren’t ready. This party was a horrible idea. (She lies down on Bridget’s hand.)
Branch: (Sliding down Bridget’s shoulder) No, it wasn’t horrible. It was just enthusiastic. With horrible consequences. But I know your heart was in the right place. (Poppy turns to the chaos.)
Poppy: Okay, enough! (The chaos doesn’t stop.) We’ve got to get this insanity under… (She looks at Gary.) control! (She takes Gary from Branch and activates the traps. The Trolls and Bergens get trapped in the nets.)
Branch: Gary…today you have become a man. (He sheds happy tears and hugs Gary. Poppy frees the Trolls and Bergens.)
Poppy: Look, it’s come to my attention that this party may have been premature. And I’m sure… Branch is very sorry he threw it.
Branch: What?
Poppy: Now I see that if we’re gonna get along, we all need a bit more time to change.
Buzby: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you suggesting we Bergens have to change.
Poppy: Uh…
Bridget: Of course we should. Like, when we dance, we should hold the Trolls up off the ground so we don’t, you know, horribly crush their skulls.
Poppy: Great suggestion. Who else?
Groth: I suppose we could remove sensitive game clues like “things we like to eat alive.”
King Gristle Jr.: Ooh, and we could throw out the Troll-shaped piñatas and replace them with baby Troll-shaped piñatas.
Poppy: (As the crowd gasps.) Mm-mm.
King Gristle Jr.: Uh, I mean, rainbow-shaped piñatas?
Poppy: Bingo! And, Bergens, can we Trolls do anything for you?
King Gristle Jr.: Well, we’d love it if you wouldn’t fart glitter in our faces. (Todd, who is covered in glitter, wheezes.)
Poppy: Okay, noted.
King Gristle Jr.: Also, could you go easy on the loud noise and bright lights when we’re around? They sort of freak us out.
Poppy: What do you say, Trolls? (The Trolls cheer as fireworks fire the word yes. The Bergens cover their ears.)
Guy Diamond: Uh, sorry. We mean…
All: (quietly) Yay!
Poppy: Well, that does it. Bridget, would you do the honors?
Bridget: Me? (giggles) Let’s get this party started! (The party starts and the Trolls and Bergens are dancing.)
Branch: Got to admit, that was a great thing you did.
Poppy: Not great. Just enthusiastic, with great consequences. (She and Branch join the singing and dancing.)
Good-bye to the rain
And look to a world
Where everything's changed
And freedom is ours
So let's gather around and celebrate
We are free together (Poppy sings into the microphone at the end.)
