Mouth Guitar/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "Mouth Guitar".
== ==
(In her home at Classical Crest, Minuet is getting ready to play her violin for a practice session.)
Minuet: 1, 2, 3, 4, assume first position and… (She starts playing her violin for several days. She finally finishes and is exhausted. She then leaves her pod.) Oh. The first sting of sunlight after a brutally long practice session. Music to my eyes.
Dante: (As he runs by Minuet) Move aside! I fear I’m already late for the show!
Minuet: Dante: What show?
Dante: W-w-w-what show?! Minuet, I’m referring to the Hard Rock Troll who recently arrived in TrollsTopia! Some say, when it comes to his performances, one must either be there… or be square! Aah! (He throws a poster he was holding and flies off.)
Minuet: (Picking up the poster) Hm. “Blaze Powerchord”? (Soon, she goes to the line up for the show. The Trolls can be heard cheering.)
Poppy: Whoooooo! Yeeeeaaah! Minuet! Can you believe this show?! The killer riffs! The epic solos! Sorry. I’ll calm down. Daaah! No, I won’t! (laughs)
Minuet: Actually, Poppy, I just arrived. But it sounds like this Blaze is quite the electric guitarist.
Poppy: (chuckles) He doesn’t play electric guitar.
Minuet: Huh? (Blaze appears.)
Blaze: (Through the microphone) Who’s ready for an encore?! (The audience cheers for him and he imitates an electric guitar.)
Poppy: He plays mouth guitar! Whooooooo! (A red Techno Troll screams and faints.)
Minuet: So, he just makes guitar noises? And Trolls listen to it? Willingly? Oh. It is rather entertaining.
Val: Yeah. Everyone says that. At first.
Poppy: Val?
Val: Don’t get me wrong. Nobody mouths a guitar like Blaze. The problem is, once he gets going, he never… ever… ever... stops playing. Like ever. (The next morning, a line of tired Trolls is getting a drink. Smidge sighs happily as she is given a cup of coffee. Just then, Blaze pops out of the coffee shop and imitates an electric guitar, causing Smidge to drop her drink in shock.)
Blaze: Good morning, TrollsTopia! (He gets on a table with a purple male and orange female Pop Troll and imitates an electric guitar again. He does the same thing to a pink and blue female Pop Troll. The blue female Pop Troll pushes a baby carriage away in shock. He imitates an electric guitar to another Rock Troll and scares away a Puffalo. Minuet sighs and tries to drink her coffee, but Blaze pops out of a bush.) Whoo! (He imitates an electric guitar once more. He does the same thing by hiding in a shelf at the library when a yellow male Pop Troll climbs up to get a book. All the Trolls at the library groan. Later, Minuet is performing a recital with her violin at the stage at Classical Crest. Suddenly, Blaze appears and imitates an electric guitar once more.)
Smidge: Uh, Blaze? Could you take five minutes till Minuet finishes her recital?
Blaze: And deprive the world of my sound? Sorry. Hate to turn down a huge fan.
Smidge: I never said I was a-
Blaze: But the Blaze Craze is here to stayz!
Smidge: Val, isn’t this Blaze guy kinda in considerate for a Troll?
Val: Yeah, I know. He’s basically our version of that guy. (She sees Creek at a table beside her.)
Creek: Mm, yeah. I can see that. (Blaze continues to imitate an electric guitar and that makes Minuet angry.)
Minuet: WILL YOU PLEASE STOP?!
Blaze: Pfft! You’re just jealous of my awesome skillz. And that’s skillz with a Z. (He imitates an electric guitar again.)
Minuet: Jealous?! Ugh! There is no skill I can’t master.
Blaze: Wait! (He removes his sunglasses and reveals another.) Are you saying you wanna challenge me to a battle of the mouth guitars? An epic throwdown wherein you beat me, I have to give up mouth guitar forever? ‘Cause that’s what it sounds like you’re saying.
Minuet: What?! That’s not what I’m saying that at all.
All: Aw.
Minuet: You know what? Yes. That’s precisely what I’m saying. (The Trolls gasp.)
Blaze: Oh, you are on! Saturday night. You vs. me. Mouth-o a mouth-o. Prepare to be Blaze-d! (He imitates an electric guitar and leaves.)
Poppy: Wow! Minuet, I had no idea you played mouth guitar.
Minuet: I don’t. But as I said, there’s no technique I can’t master. I just need an instructor to teach me. (She and Poppy look at Val.)
Val: Nope. Nope. Can’t do it. Mouth guitar isn’t about technique. It’s about passion. About reaching deep inside yourself to find it and letting it out with a- (She knocks over a table as she imitates an electric guitar. Smidge pops up and claps for her.)
Minuet: Well, I can do that. I just reach deep down inside myself and let my passion out with a- 1, 2, 3, 4, steps to the front, then drop one knee and hold, hold, then raise the chin and- (harmonizes) Or was it a G, G, G? (harmonizes)
Val: Stop it.
Minuet: G! Ooh!
Val: This is painful.
Minuet: Yeah!
Val: OK! I’ll teach you some things. (Minuet gasps.) Just stop doing… that.
Poppy and Minuet: Yay! (Val goes to the statue to help Minuet.)
Val: All right. First, you gotta get familiar with your instrument. Go ahead and grab a guitar.
Minuet: Grab a… (She picks up an invisible bass.) Huh?
Val: A guitar, not a bass.
Minuet: Oh. (She picks up an invisible trombone.) Uh…
Val: A trombone? Come on!
Minuet: Oh, Sorry. I meant, uh… (She picks up invisible bagpipes.)
Val: Put the bagpipes… down.
Minuet: (chuckles) Forgive me, Val. But I assure you, all I need is a little practice time. (She inhales and imitates an electric guitar. After a while, she shows her skill to Poppy, Smidge, and Val. When she finishes, Poppy and Smidge cheer for her.)
Poppy: Whooooooo!
Smidge: Yaaaaaay!
Poppy: Yeeeeaaah!
Smidge: Yeeeeaaah!
Poppy: Whooooooo!
Val: Nope. Still not feeling the passion.
Minuet: But I can perform every trick Blaze can, based on what I saw him do.
Val: Yeah, but you didn’t see him do everything. (She and Minuet go to Rock Hollow and watch Blaze imitate an electric guitar.) Just watch. (Blaze soon smashes a sounds speaker and a force sends Minuet flying.)
Minuet: By Beeth-troll-ven’s bassoon! He smashed that like a real guitar! H-h-how?!
Val: It’s his passion. Blaze pours so much of himself into that guitar, it makes it real. You gotta stop focusing on technique and unleash your passion. ‘Cause it’s the only way you’ll ever beat him. (Minuet becomes very nervous. That night, Poppy is about to announce the moth guitar battle.)
Poppy: (Through the microphone) Welcome, TrollsTopia! To tonight’s Mouth Guitar Battle Royale! To my left, he’s gifted, he’s brash. It’s Blaze! (Blue fireworks explode as the crowd cheers for Blaze.) And to my right, she’s standing up for every Troll’s right to not have to listen to mouth guitar every second of the day! The virtue-oh-so-talented… Minuet! (Orange fireworks explode around Minuet.)
Blaze: You look like you need a shred-ucation! (He imitates an electric guitar and removes one of his sunglasses.)
Minuet: Uh… (She loses her confidence.) I can’t do this! (The crowd boos as she runs to Val.)
Val: Dude, what are you doing? You can’t just let him win!
Blaze: (laughs) Blaze wins! The outcome everyone wanted! Whoooooooo!
Creek: Ugh. He really is the me of the Hard Rock Tribe.
Minuet: I’m… I’m not ready, Val. I need more time to go and practice and-
Val: No! (She picks up an invisible guitar.) What you need to show is your passion. Now take this guitar and get out there.
Minuet: Not without more practice!
Val: Do it!
Minuet: But I can’t!
Val: UNLEASH YOUR PASSION!
Minuet: BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW! Aah! (A sound speaker smashes.) Huh? (She sees a glowing guitar in the damaged sound speaker.) I… I can see it. (She touches the guitar.) And I can feel it!
Val: Then get out there and play it.
Blaze: Woo-hoo! Whooooooo! (Suddenly, he hears Minuet playing her guitar as she returns to the stage. The crowd cheers for her.) So, back for more, huh? Well, then. What do you say? (He makes his invisible guitar appear.) Are you prepared to be a-Blaze-d?!
Minuet: I say you already used that pun. You’re getting Blaze-y!
All: Oh!
Blaze: Huh? (He and Minuet start the battle.)
Cooper: Are you guys not seeing what I’m not seeing?! (Minuet and Blaze continue to imitate an electric guitar. Soon, Blaze smashes his guitar, sending a strong wind. Minuet then sends another strong wind that blows away Blaze’s sunglasses. She throws it into the air and some of the Trolls can be seen wearing the sunglasses. They then cheer for Minuet.)
Blaze: You’re… in-shredible! You win. (Minuet looks at Val, who is proud of her.) A dealio’s a dealio. I shall never mouth another guitar. Ever.
Minuet: Blaze, no! No-one wants you to give up your passion. Just don’t play it when it’s inappropriate. Like at the library. Or a funeral.
Blaze: Wow. That’ll be tough. But OK. (As he and Minuet shake hands, the Trolls cheer for them.) I think the crowd wants an encore.
Minuet: Oh, perhaps I shouldn’t have hurled my guitar.
Blaze: You can borrow mine. I’ll back you up on mouth drums. (He imitates drums while Minuet imitates an electric guitar as the crowd cheers for them.)
