Cakes on a Train/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "Cakes on a Train".
== ==
(Poppy and the Tribe ambassadors are on a stage with a curtain.)
Poppy: Tribal Council, before the debut of our big project tomorrow, I wanted you to see our progress, which I would describe as… (The ambassadors gasp.) … adequate.
Val: Huh? (She and the others chatter.)
Poppy: I give you… (She pulls a string and the curtain opens, revealing a train.) … The TrollsTopian MeTroll System! (The ambassadors cheer in amazement. The camera shows various parts of the system. Branch pops out of the window of the first train car and waves. Rhythm and Blues are attaching wheels onto the train.)
Holly: Dang, Poppy, you downplayin’ rascal! You gotta warn a Troll before you unveil somethin’ that overwhelmingly cool!
Poppy: Really? What’s so cool about it? The fact that it runs through all the TrollsTopian neighborhoods promoting cross-cultural celebration on a level here to for unparallel? (The ambassadors cheer again.) Oh. Did I mention it’s also a… roller coaster? (The camera shows the track with a roller coaster part. The ambassadors are amazed. Val and Dante fall to the ground.)
Val: Oh, please, Poppy! Ugh! We need a break! It’s just… (pants) … it’s too cool!
Dante: In fact, I’m concerned the festivities we’ve arranged for tomorrow’s debut won’t live up to coolness of this magnitude! (He faints.)
Poppy: Already thought of that, Dante. Which is why, when the six of us make the MeTrolls an honorable trip around TrollsTopia, we will carry a special surprise cargo to share with all of the Trolls when we arrive. (She shows a picture of a cake.) A Perfection Cake.
All: Ooh!
Val: The cake of all cakes!
Dante: They say any Troll that tastes one instantly weeps from sheer of joy!
Holly: Poppy, you better not tellin’ cake tales out of cake school! My cake lovin’ heart can’t take it!
Poppy: No! (giggles) It’s true! I secretly asked Sky Toronto’s team to start prep weeks ago! You know, ‘cause the conditions have to be… pristine. (We go to the past where Sky is about to get the cake ready. A machine does his hair and puts a cooking suit on him. He then goes to the kitchen.)
Pop Troll #1: The latest frosting sample for your inspection, sir.
Past Sky: Ah. (He gets a little bit of frosting on his finger and fails to put it in his mouth due to the mask her is wearing.) Well, that’s infuriating. (We go back to the present.)
Holly: Well, hot dang! We’re getting’ a Perfection Cake, y’all! (The others cheer.)
Blues: Uh… we hate to be those Trolls, but we have a problem.
Rhythm: Due to the delicate nature, Perfection Cakes only last an hour once they expose to natural air.
Poppy: Sure. So?
Branch: Well, as the designers of this choo choo, and yes, I say choo choo ‘cause that’s what my grandma called it and it’s stuck, OK?!
All: Whoa!
Synth: Calm down, yo.
Dante: Yeah, you do use they say. (chuckles)
Branch: As the designers of this choo choo, we can assure you it can’t make it around TrollsTopia in an hour.
Poppy: Whoa, whoa. (laughs) Guys, come on. We need this cake to give the MeTroll the debut it deserves. Isn’t there anything we can do?
Blues: Well, we were gonna work through the night to finish the subliminal loop-de-loop track. (We go to the past where a purple male Pop Troll and a male Rock Troll riding cart on an unfinished loop. As soon as they reach the end, they remain in the air for a second before falling and we go back to the present.)
Rhythm: Right now, it’s more of a “loop-duh.” But we could spend that time trying to make that train go faster.
Branch: An engine upgrade? But we’d have to pull out the transmission and the brake system. Poppy, it’s not worth it just for some cake. (Poppy shows him a picture of the Perfection Cake.) Let’s upgrade this choo choo. (The next day, he, Rhythm, and Blues finish upgrading the train. They are dirty and sweating.)
Branch, Rhythm, and Blues: Phew!
Branch: And choo choo upgraded. (Blues gives a thumbs-up to Poppy.)
Poppy: Bring in the cake! (Some workers bring in a train care with the Perfection Cake. A light blue male Pop Troll’s mask shatters and he sees the cake in amazement and faints. Poppy then gets on the train.) OK, one hour to get around TrollsTopia, blasting confetti cannons all the way to the amphitheater where the Trolls will gather to celebrate the train.
Branch: All aboard! (He turns a wheel and pulls some switches. The train starts moving at high speed. As Poppy and Branch ride through TrollsTopia and fire confetti, they sing All Aboard (Join The Harmony).)
(Both)
Get ready to ride 
(Poppy)
Hey
(Branch)
Oh
(Both)
Whoo
Get ready to ride
And see TrollsTopia like you’ve never seen
Everybody inside
For some next level unity!
All aboard!
What you waiting for?
Don’t need a ticket to ride
Just hop inside
And join the harmony!
All aboard!
Let’s all go explore!
And everywhere we stop
Hop on or jump off
And join in on the harmony! (Holly appears on the train.)
Holly: Hey, y’all mind if we slow down a hair as we go through Country Corral? I wanna shout a little “woo-hoo” from the choo choo!
Branch: Sure. (He takes out a pocket watch.) We made amazing time. I’m just gonna ease the brakes and, uh… (He tries to pull the brakes, but it doesn’t work.) Um… (He tries it a few more times.) Um… (He shakes the brakes so rapidly that it breaks off.) Gah!
Poppy and Holly: Aah! (The train passes Country Corral as it shoots confetti. The Country Trolls then cheer.)
Branch: OK, not a huge deal, but appears we were so focused on the engine upgrade, that I forgot to put back in the brakes and stuff.
Poppy: WHAT?!
Branch: It’s OK; I can just pull the emergency brake.
Blues: Don’t touch that!
Poppy, Branch, and Holly: Huh?
Rhythm: According to our calculations, that would mean disaster for the cake. (Blues draws some pictures.) B can show. She is drawing up as big as now. (Blues tells the story.)
Blues: Yeah. The stick thing is… (She imitates Branch.) I’m Branch! I’ll pull the emergency brake! Calling sweet! Whooooo!
Rhythm: Splat! (She imitates some Trolls.) Ugh! What a devastating debut!
Blues: I don’t believe in this thing anymore! (She pretends to cry.)
Branch: Wow, that was specific.
Poppy: Guys, come on! This is a perfection cake! There’s gotta be another way to stop this train!
Holly: Hey, y’all, I know how to slow this train down. (Outside, she is about to show how to stop the train.) It’s hairichute time! (She grabs handbar.) Watch and learn, y’all! (Her hair forms a parachute.) Yeeeeee-haaaaw! (She flies into the air and screams.) I WAS TOTALLY WRONG, Y’ALL!
Rhythm: No stress, Trolls. We’ll float the cake to safety using… 
Rhythm and Blues: (singsong) The Bubble Beam!
Rhythm: You do the honors, dear sister. (Blues presses a button on a remote and Vibe Town accidentally shooting at a Puffalo, trapping it in a bubble.)
Blues: Uh… Why don’t you try, dear sister? (Rhythm presses the button and a patch of grass ends up in a bubble.)
Rhythm: I know. Why don’t we… 
Both: Do it together? (They press the button together and Vibe town traps more grass, another Puffalo, a rock, a plant, and some flowers. Rhythm and Blues also get trapped.) Well, that’s infuriating.
Branch: Sorry, Poppy, but the emergency break is the only way to stop this runaway choo choo. And I know it’s hard to take me seriously when I see it that way, but still.
Poppy: No! There’s got to be another way! (She runs off.)
Branch: Poppy? (He follows Poppy onto the top of the train.) See? How do you expect to stop before we reach the welcome party?! (The camera shows some Trolls cheering at the train station.)
Poppy: On a wing-it-a-hair Branch! On a wing-it-a-hair! (Her hair grabs a mushroom and a rock and holds onto to them. Branch watches nervously as the Perfection Cake starts to wobble. The train then stops at the station.) Who… wants… cake? (The crowd cheers and runs to the cake.)
All: Cake! Cake! Cake!
Branch: Poppy, that was incredible! Through sheer grit and determination, you beat all the odds! Not to mention several basic laws of physics.
Poppy: (laughs) Yeah! Wait, which laws of physics?
Branch: Well, for starters, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. (Poppy’s hair starts to lose its grip.)
Poppy: Uh-oh! (She and Branch scream as the train goes backwards fast and the crowd groans. They see a zigzag in the tracks.)
Both: Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! (They scream again as the train goes off the zigzag and flies into the air and lands on another track. The cake lands safely.)
Poppy: The cake’s OK!
Branch: Ha! We landed on the subliminal track!
Poppy: Wait. The subliminal track? Doesn’t that lead to… (She and Branch see the unfinished loop up ahead.)
Both: (gasp) The loop-duh!
Branch: OK, Poppy, please, this is life and death here. I mean, I know it’s really, really good cake, but-
Poppy: Yeah, I know. We’ve got to pull the emergency brake. (sighs) I just really want to have a celebration of our achievement. You know, but I got to face facts. All of these plans have been derailed.
Branch: Well, you know what? (laughs) I say let it get derailed.
Poppy: Huh? 
Branch: (laughs) Yeah. Plans always seem to go off-track in TrollsTopia. But then, somehow, we end up having a blast anyway.
Poppy: Yeah. Hey! Yeah! A blast! (She takes Gary from Branch.) R, B, are you there? (We see Rhythm and Blues still stuck in the bubble.)
Blues: Yeah, still here. 
Rhythm: Just hangin’ around.
Poppy: I need you to get all the Trolls to the loop-duh, fast. (Rhythm and Blues press a button and Vibe Town flies to the Trolls and brings them aboard. It then drops them off at the unfinished loop. Poppy looks at the cake.) You truly are the cake of cakes. (She takes out a shovel, gets a slice of cake, and presses a button and a pipe appears.) All right, TrollsTopia! Let’s have a blast! (She throws the cake slices into the pipe. The train fires them into the Trolls’ mouths.)
All: Ooh! (They kneel down.)
Poppy: Now! (Branch pulls the emergency brake. Poppy helps him. Just before the train goes off the unfinished loop, it stops and moves back down. The crowd cheers and Poppy and Branch get off the train.)
Branch: Well, that didn’t go as planned.
Poppy: Wouldn’t have it any other way. (The camera moves up to the sky and shows fireworks exploding in the sky.)
