The following is a transcript for the episode "Big Poppy".
== ==
(The camera shows green, blue, purple and pink spotlights shining in the night. DJ Suki is hosting a rap battle in Troll Village. Smidge is battling against Master Controll.)
DJ Suki: It’s that time again, y’all. Two rivals rapping the only way Trolls know how. It’s a compliment battle! (The audience cheers.)
(Smidge)
Uh, this guy is the greatest beyond all compare
Makes me wish I had three thumbs to put in the air!
All: Oh!
Smidge: That’s right. Nobody’s like you, baby. Ha.
(Smidge)
It’s so hard to describe how much I like you
You’re like a taller me, with a higher IQ!
Cooper: Oh, yes, she did!
(Smidge)
Einstein’s got nothing on you
I go insane in your presence
You make my brain topsy-turvy
Till I fall onto my knees
Screaming, “I’m not worthy!” (The audience cheers.)
Smidge: Stick that in your self-esteem and boost it!
DJ Suki: Woo-hoo! That was tight! Very tight! (unenthusiastically) And now our reigning champ, with 49 straight victories, Master Controll.
Troll #1: Yeah!
Master Controll: Ooh!
Rap Troll #1: Flatter that Troll, Master C. Flatter her real good.
Master Controll: Yo-yo!
(Master Controll)
This girl is so tough
She’d be good in a tussle
Yo, is that a mountain?
No, wait that’s her muscle!
Rap Troll #2: Oh, man! That’s what I’m talking about!
Rap Troll #1: Woo-hoo!
(Master Controll)
You’re so impressive
I wanna be your best bud
When you walk into a room
I’m like, “Oh, my Guh!” (Smidge gasps and the crowd yells and boos.)
Master Controll: Uh-huh. Yo, yo.
(Master Controll)
I admire you so much
I can’t find the words to say
So instead here’s a gift
Now have a nice day! (He throws a purple flower and an explosion is heard.)
Rap Troll #2: That’s it, son. That’s how it’s done, bro! (Smidge grunts angrily and rips her microphone in half. She yells as she leaves.)
DJ Suki: Well, looks like the winner and still champion… is Master Controll. (The audience leaves.) Hey, guys, don’t forget to be back for another battle next week.
Troll #2: What’s the point? Master Controll always wins.
Cooper: And the other person always loses! Ooh, good point, Cooper. Mm.
DJ Suki: (sighs) Yo, Controll, my man, I’m losing my audience. How ‘bout stepping down and giving someone else a chance to win?
Master Controll: I’m the compliment king, son. I rule this Troll City. I’ll never quit. By the way, you look pretty. (He touches DJ Suki’s nose and she smacks it. His friends jump off the stage and he walks down.) The only Troll that can rap me off this stage is too scared to even try. Tell Big Poppy I said hello.
Rap Troll #1 and #2: Oh! (The next morning, DJ Suki tells Poppy about Master Controll.)
Poppy: “Tell Big Poppy I said hello”? He actually said that?!
DJ Suki: Mm-hm.
Poppy: Oh, this is bad. So bad! (She hyperventilates and goes to her scrapbooking supplies.) Go to your happy place, Poppy. Come on, come on. (She makes a scrapbook saying that everything will be OK.)
Scrapbook: Everything’s gonna be OK!
Poppy: (As the book sprays glitter) Ah, that’s the stuff.
DJ Suki: What did Master Controll mean by “Big Poppy”?
Poppy: It was a name I used to go by, my rapping name. (We go to a flashback to where Poppy was a rapper.) Back then, Master Controll and I were rivals…
Past Poppy: Uh! Come on! Big Poppy!
(Past Poppy)
This guy’s odor’s so pleasant
So fresh and so sweet
From the smell of his breath to
Dang, that’s your feet?
Poppy: It was the best battle ever, until I got lost in rhyming and did the worst thing a Troll can do…
(Past Poppy)
And you hair is so thick
I could swear it’s a wig
With all you got goin’ on
Too bad your ears are so big (Master Controll’s hood goes down revealing his huge ears and the crowd gasps.)
Poppy: I accidentally insulted him. (Master Controll puts his hood back up and his friends appear.)
Past Rap Troll #1: Yo, dog, if you don’t have somethin’ nice to throw down, don’t throw down nothin’s at all. A’ight?
Past Rap Troll #2: Yeah! (Poppy drops her microphone and runs away.)
Poppy: I was so horrified by what I’d done. So I ran, never to see Master Controll, or the rap scene ever again.
DJ Suki: Whoa. That’s so great! (We go back to the present.)
Poppy: Great?
DJ Suki: You’re a good enough rapper to beat Master Controll and save my show!
Poppy: No, DJ. I vowed never to battle again. I can’t risk insulting someone.
DJ Suki: Please, Poppy, this battle is so important to me. (She gives Poppy a photo of herself as a baby.) It’s the first show I ever DJ’d.
Poppy: Aw.
DJ Suki: (stammers) I can’t let it die now. (Tender music is heard and Poppy looks around.)
Poppy: Are you playing that music to mess with my emotions?
DJ Suki: That depends. Is it working? (Tears run down Poppy’s face.)
Poppy: Okay, okay! I won’t battle… but I promise I’ll find someone who can. (Later, she is holding auditions. Poppy speaks through a megaphone.) Okay! We’re auditioning to find a new rap champion. DJ, spin it! (Guy Diamond is up first.)
(Guy Diamond)
Oh, yeah
It’s on, y’all
We’re gonna rap battle… (He vocalizes and inhales deeply.)
Poppy: Next! (Satin and Chenille are next.)
(Satin)
Oh, my sister is Chenille
And her rhymes are so relentless
She knows me so well
She can finish this…
Chenille: I’m not doing this.
Poppy: Next! (Creek is up next.)
(Creek)
Sky, moon, rain, clouds
Visions of a subtle sound
Hurricane, Frappuccino
Let’s all go play b-b-bingo
Poppy: Next! (The bug carrying Creek drops him. Cooper is next.)
Cooper: (Throwing craft things out of a box) Mm, take that and that! Oh, and you know, you can’t handle this. (It is revealed that he only made a present.)
Poppy: Uh…
Cooper: Oh, oh, you meant the other kind of “rap battle”? (laughs) I am confused! (The present’s bow hits him in the face.) Ow! (He faints. Later, DJ Suki is sulking.)
DJ Suki: (Taking the banner down) An entire week of searching, and nothing. Face it, Poppy, you’re the only one who has a shot to beat Master Controll tonight.
Poppy: There’s gotta be some Troll out there who can improvise compliments in time.
Biggie: There once was a worm named Dinkles, with eyes like a star when it twinkles. He was charming and then some and so very handsome and sweet like a cupcake with sprinkles. Yay!
Poppy: Biggie, what are you doing?
Biggie: Oh, hello, Poppy, DJ. Just a game we play where we make up poems. You do one, Mr. D.
Mr. Dinkles: Meep.
Biggie: (gasps) Well… bit vulgar for my taste but you get the idea.
Poppy: Hm. Now, all you have to do is make up a friendly poem about him.
Biggie: (Looking at the picture of Master Controll) A friendly poem. (Poppy snaps her fingers and DJ Suki plays hip-hop music.) Oh, my. (chuckles) This feels… so right.
(Biggie)
You have the face of an angel sent from heaven
On a scale of one to ten, you’re an 11!
Poppy: Better! Now more attitude!
Biggie: Hm. I think I can do this. Aha!
(Biggie)
You look so sweet, I could eat you like a glutton
Or sew you onto my vest, 'cause you’re cute as a button!
DJ: Suki: Dang, I think we’ve got a contender. Stay here. I gotta spread the word! (She hugs Poppy and runs off.)
(Biggie)
I love you so much, you brings me to tears
I love your beautiful smile and your eyes and you big, floppy ears! (Poppy gasps in horror.)
Mr. Dinkles: Meep!
Poppy: No, Biggie, he’s sensitive about his… about his ears.
Biggie: But I like his ears. (Poppy hyperventilates again and does more scrapbooking.)
Scrapbook: Happy! (Poppy sighs in relief.)
Biggie: Uh, Poppy, you’re sort of freaking me out.
Poppy: Listen to me, Biggie. If you don’t watch everything you say tonight, you could end up like me… haunted by the shame od hurting another Troll till the day you die.
Biggie: Well, surely not until the day I-
Poppy: Till the day you die! So be very, very careful with your words. And have fun with it! (Two clouds and a rainbow appear and she laughs. Biggie whimpers in fear. Later that night, DJ Suki’s show is going on while Poppy waits outside for Biggie.)
All: Biggie! Biggie! Biggie! Biggie!
Poppy: Come on, Biggie, show up, show up. (DJ Suki comes up behind her.)
DJ Suki: Poppy, this crowd is huge! If Biggie can defeat Master Controll, I think my show will be saved. Wait. Where is Biggie?
Poppy: Uh… just running a few minutes late. But he’ll be here, trust me.
DJ Suki: A’ight, I’ll see you inside! (She goes back inside to her show.)
Poppy: Please, Biggie, wherever you are, I need you to show up right now. (A snail appears with a letter.) Oh, snail mail. (She takes the letter and looks at it.)
Pop-Up Biggie: Sorry to back out on the rap battle, Poppy. But you really freaked me out today.
Pop-Up Mr. Dinkles: Meep.
Pop-Up Biggie: And Mr. Dinkles thinks you have emotional demons to face. (Poppy pulls the tab and a terrifying demon resembling her appears and roars.) You need to forgive yourself. (The card sprays purple glitter in Poppy’s face.)
All: Biggie! Biggie! Biggie! Biggie! Biggie… (Poppy thinks for a moment.) Biggie! Biggie! Biggie! Biggie!
DJ Suki: Hold up! Hold up! I know y’all are restless, but I promise Biggie’ll be here right quick.
Poppy: No, he won’t. (The crowd looks at her in her rap outfit and she removes her hood.) ‘Cause I’m battling in his place!
All: Oh! (Poppy walks to the stage and gets on it with her hair.)
Master Controll: Big Poppy? You hung up your mic.
Poppy: Did I? (She takes out her microphone and a spotlight turns on as the crowd cheers.) Prepared to be uplifted, homey.
Master Controll: Give me a beat. (DJ Suki starts the music.)
(Master Controll)
This girl’s straight exquisite
So I’m making a vow
To give her a kiss
OK, I can die now!
Rap Troll #2: You’re so sweet!
Rap Troll #1 Chivalry’s not dead!
Master Controll: Uh-huh.
(Master Controll)
Everything with you puts the sunny side up
You let everyone in, filling your cup
Runneth over, spilling with foam
Of love for every being like they were your own
The party inside you 
It never ends
‘Cause if I knock-knock you over
You get up again!
Rap Troll #1: Whoa!
Rap Troll #2: Oh-ho-ho!
Master Controll: Yeah.
(Master Controll)
She’s great, come on
Now it’s your turn
Speak so everyone hears
You have my full attention
You could say I’m all ears!
All: Oh! (Poppy’s heart beats and she gains her confidence. As she sings, she gives Master Controll a box of streamers, uses her hair for form cool shapes, shows Master Controll a book of himself, and her hair forms a ball and she jumps high in the air. She lands slowly on the ground with her hair.)
(Poppy)
Master Controll, the champ with lyrics so gracious
Always nice things to say whatever the case is
But here’s the thing, the tables are turned
You’re about to get served all the praise that you’ve earned!
Your rapping’s so happenin’
Your lines blow my mind
Gotta get a fork and knife
So I can eat off your rhymes!
And that’s just for starters
Now I’m goin’ in deeper
Like the depth of your soul
In those icy blue peepers
When I look up “awesome”
It’s a picture of you
Kindness at the heart
Of all the things that you do
Smile so contagious, laugh so viral
Now time to stay with me
As I start to spiral
You’re a gift and a treasure
A friend pioneer
Knocking through borders
Of the kindness frontier
I got you thinking
“Is she being sincere
Or just dropping rhymes
That the crowds want to hear?”
Big Poppy spits the truth
No reason to fear her
You’re beautiful, son
Tell yourself every day
When you look in the mirror! (She throws a mirror at Master Controll and looks at himself. A tear runs down one of his eyes.)
Master Controll: That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me. (He runs off crying.) It’s so thoughtful. (DJ Suki comes over to Poppy.)
DJ Suki: Big Poppy’s back, y’all! (As she holds Poppy's microphone in the air, the crowd puts their hands in the air and cheers for Poppy.)
Troll #3: Woo-hoo-hoo!
Cooper: Crazy!
