Eye'll Be Watching You/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "Eye'll Be Watching You".
== ==
(A bird flitters away from the camera and we go to a tree branch where Poppy is hosting the Flyer Rider event.)
Poppy: (On the megaphone) Flyers! Take your places! (Fuzzbert and Smidge’s engines rev. DJ Suki’s Flyer Bug bounces while the hydraulics hiss. Biggie is on a Flyer Bug with Mr. Dinkles in an extra seat.)
Biggie: Would you prefer to be fast, Mr. Dinkles, or furious?
Mr. Dinkles: Meep.
Biggie: Oh, my, Mr. Dinkles.
Poppy: On you mark. Get set. (Just before she waves her tissue, Branch appears.)
Branch: Stop! (He runs to Poppy and grabs the horn from her.) Stop now! You’re all in danger! (But the racers ignore him and fly past him and Poppy. He then takes out a long sheet of paper.) 
Branch: Poppy, you got to stop them. Flyer riding is number 12 on the safety inspector’s top 100 town hazards.
Poppy: Branch, this hazards list is insane. Everybody loves the shroom bounce. (The camera moves to some Trolls bouncing on the shroom bounce. The wall has a slide. An orange female Troll is sent flying high into a tree.)
Branch: You know what they say. “It’s all fun and games till someone irreversibly contorts a spine."
Poppy: And the Trollberry cupcakes? What’s so unsanitary about them? (At Cooper’s cupcake shop, he poops some cupcakes.)
Cooper: Who wants dessert? (He holds a cupcake in both of his hands.)
Branch: Cooper doesn’t wear gloves. Ugh.
Poppy: Branch, you can’t ask the Trolls to give up fencing.
Branch: Of course I can. Do you know how pointy those things are? (The camera goes to Guy Diamond and Biggie about to fight with fence pieces but fall. Then they hammer them back into the ground.)
Poppy: (sighs) Look, I get it. (She gives Branch back his hazards list.) It only makes sense that you would want to protect everyone else. But too much safety can be smothering. (She jumps off the tree branch.) Aah! (Branch gasps in fright. Poppy reappears on her Flyer Bug.) I mean, it would be a tragedy if we made things so safe that we weren’t allowed to fly. Giddyup!
Branch: Poppy, GET DOWN.
Poppy: YEAH! (She laughs as her Flyer Bug goes up higher.) See, Branch?! No crash! (DJ Suki appears.)
DJ Suki and Poppy: Riding Flyers is the best! (They realize they are about to hit each other.) AAAAAAAAHHHH! (Branch yells as the Flyer Bugs hit each other and Poppy falls toward the ground screaming.)
Branch: Poppy!
Poppy: (As she falls through leaves and vines) Wah! Oh! Ow! Eeh! Ugh! (She lands hard on the ground and groans in pain. Later, some Trolls check on her while Branch slides down a tree trunk.)
Guy Diamond: I hope she’s OK. Oh, P. I can’t believe she fell.
Biggie: Oh, my.
Dr. Moonbloom: Step aside. I’m a doctor. (The Trolls gasp and she walks closer to Poppy. She checks her heartbeat.) Balloon animal. (A Troll gives her a balloon animal.) Glitter. (Another Troll sprays pink glitter on Poppy.) Cookie. (She eats a cookie.) There’s nothing left to do now but pray. And bandage her minor sprain. (Poppy sits up and coughs. Then Biggie and Dr. Moonbloom walk her away to rest.)
Poppy: Ow. (Branch comes up with an idea.)
Branch: Hm. (He goes down the elevator to his bunker.) Time for Troll Village security plan five-Delta-zero. (He goes to a safe and takes out a sharp shovel. Then he hammers the wall and takes out another shovel. He digs into he ground and finds a bigger shovel. He enters a cave with hundreds of plants and puts some seeds in a bag.) Hm. (At Poppy’s pod the next day, she is sleeping on her bed. Her foot is bandaged and is resting on a rope. Branch appears.)
Branch: Poppy! (Poppy screams in shock.) I found the perfect thing to prevent flying accidents.
Poppy: Really? (Branch pours the seeds into the flowerpot and a plant with a single eye grows.) By all that is Trolly, what is that thing?!
Branch: An Eyestalk. Isn’t it great? (Poppy whimpers as she backs away from the plant.)
Eyestalk #1: Danger. Danger.
Poppy: (About to fall off her bed) Aah! (The Eyestalk catches her.) Hm? (The Eyestalk puts her back in her bed.) Mm. (The Eyestalk puts her blanket over her as if it is tucking her in.)
Eyestalk: Safe. Safe.
Branch: The village needs this. I mean, if we’d had one yesterday, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt. And I can’t let that happen again.
Poppy: Aw, Branch... Well, it’s amazing. And I know I say that about a lot of things. But this time I really mean it. Just like every other time!
Branch: Hm?
Poppy: Before we use it in the village, though, I need to think about it first, okay?
Branch: Of course! (Poppy blinks twice first followed by Branch and the Eyestalk.) Oh, you mean, like, for a while. (Later, he is walking outside.) Well, I wish she’d just say yes, but I guess I can wait. (A Flyer Bug flies by and he gasps. The Trolls are still having fun flying.)
Guy Diamond: No hands! (Branch whimpers in fear.)
Smidge: (Riding upside down) Hair only! (Branch groans as the Trolls continue to fly.)
Branch: Sorry, Poppy, but no-one’s getting hurt again. Not on my watch. (He jumps onto a mushroom and plants another Eyestalk.)
Eyestalk #2: Danger. Danger. Danger. (It grabs the Flyer Bugs with many vines and moves them around like they are on an amusement park ride.) Safe. Safe. Safe.
Guy Diamond: Aw.
DJ Suki: What a rip.
Smidge: I’m also upset. (An orange female Troll is seen snoring.)
Branch: Flying is risk-free now, guys. No need to thank me!
Eyestalk #2: Danger. Danger. Danger. (It sees more Trolls jumping on the mushrooms.)
Branch: Hm. I like the way you think. (He gives the plant a fist bump.) Phew! (He dances to the mushrooms and plants another Eyestalk.)
Eyestalk #3: Danger. Danger. (It grabs the bouncing Trolls with many vines and bounces them up and down slowly.) Safe. Safe. Safe. (At Cooper's cupcake shop, he poops a cupcake for a red male Troll and gives it to him. Branch appears and plants another Eyestalk.)
Eyestalk #4: Danger. Danger. Danger. (It grabs Coopers arms.)
Cooper: Hm? (The Eyestalk puts red oven on his hands and puts him back down.)
Eyestalk #4: Safe. Safe. Safe. (Branch sees Biggie and Guy Diamond about to fence fight and plants another Eyestalk.)
Eyestalk #5: Danger. Danger. (It grabs the fence pieces and puts them back in the ground.)
Biggie and Guy Diamond: Hey! (They Eyestalk pushes them away and puts more fence pieces back in the ground.)
Biggie: Well, that was odd. Care to go swim at the lagoon?
Guy Diamond: Well, it has been less than an hour since I ate, but absolutely!
Eyestalk #5: Danger. Danger. Danger. (It tries to grab Biggie and Guy Diamond, but they are too far. It grabs a seed and puts it in the ground.) Danger. Danger. Danger. (More Eyestalks grow as they throw more seeds in the ground.)
Eyestalk #6: Danger.
Eyestalk #7: Danger. Danger.
Eyestalk #8: Danger. Danger.
All: (As Biggie and Guy Diamond run) Danger. Danger. Danger. Danger. Danger. Danger. Danger. (Guy Diamond and Biggie gasp as the Eyestalks surround them.) Danger. Danger. Danger. (Meanwhile, Branch is heading back to Poppy’s pod.)
Branch: Poppy. Hey, Poppy! Wait till you see what I’ve done. (Poppy is heard yelling. Branch jumps through the window of her pod. The Eyestalk is holding the blanket over her.)
Poppy: Stay back! Go! Branch, with my leg bandaged, this thing won’t even let me… (grunts) … out of bed. (She tries to jump out, but the plant grabs her and puts her back in her bed again.)
Eyestalk #1: Safe.
Poppy: Ugh! Plant, I swear, if you lovingly tuck me in one more time!
Eyestalk #1: Safe. Safe. (Branch kicks if over and it gurgles. Poppy sits up on her bed and removes her blanket from her.)
Poppy: Whew! Thanks. My gosh. Those Eyestalks are crazy. (chuckles) I am so glad that we didn’t use them in the village.
Branch: Uh… yeah. Me too. (He blushes and turns around.) I’m gonna look over here.
Poppy: (suspicious) Um, why are you turning red?
Branch: What? Oh, uh… must be my true colors just for you.
Poppy: (angry) Branch! You planted those Eyestalks even though I told you not to?!
Branch: Well, yeah… but that was just classic Poppy-Branch playful banter, right? That’s our thing.
Poppy: I am so disappointed. Please go.
Branch: Wait, Poppy-
Poppy: I said go, Branch! (Sadly, Branch walks away. He stops for a moment and Poppy points her finger. Then he leaves her pod. A, Eyestalk is seen outside the window.)
Eyestalk #9: Danger. Danger. (Branch is climbing down the tree.)
Branch: So unfair. She wants to scrap them all over one tiny glitch? The Eyestalks are the best thing that ever happened tot his village. (He sees the village overrun by the Eyestalks.) OK, this is bad. (He walks through the forest of Eyestalks and sees Biggie and Guy Diamond wrapped in their vines.)
Biggie: Hello, Branch. Your plant friends like hugging, don’t they? (The vines squeeze him and Guy Diamond tighter.) Ooh!
Guy Diamond: We love you, too.
Branch: No. No. No, no. (The Eyestalks show Smidge at her pod.)
Smidge: Huh. Wonder if I need sunscreen today. Nah.
Eyestalks: Danger. (They grab Smidge.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! (The plants drag her back into her pod. At DJ Suki’s pod, she is putting salt on an egg.)
DJ Suki: Huh. Maybe just a little extra salt.
Eyestalk #10: Danger. (It grabs DJ Suki and she drops her salt and egg.)
DJ Suki: Ah! Five-second rule. (The Eyestalk takes her out of her pod. At Cooper’s pod, he is playing cards.)
Cooper: I’m gonna play this card here. (He places his card on another.)
Eyestalk #11: Danger. (It grabs Cooper and her yelps. Then it puts the cards on top of each other in groups.)
Cooper: Teach me your ways, plant!
Branch: No, this can’t be.
Eyestalk #12: But it is. (More Eyestalks grow by Branch.) Thanks to you.
Branch: I wanted to keep my friends safe, not in the air doing nothing. Tell me why you did this right now!
Eyestalk #12: Cannot tell it to you. Much rather sing it to you. (Some Eyestalks start harmonizing. As they sing, they show Branch not all things are safe.)
(Eyestalk #12)
Some say look before you leap
(Eyestalks)
Before you leap
(Eyestalk # 12)
But precaution cannot keep
(Eyestalks)
It cannot keep
(Eyestalk # 12)
Your head from splitting from the fall
(Eyestalks)
Uh-oh, uh-oh
(Eyestalk #12)
So nothing’s the safest thing of all
(Eyestalks)
Nothing’s the safest, yeah
(Eyestalk #12)
You can wear steel-plated armor
And be feeling safe from harm or…
(Eyestalks)
So safe from harm
(Eyestalk #12)
… travel in a hamster ball
But nothing’s the safest thing of all
(Eyestalks)
Nothing’s the safest, yeah
(Eyestalks)
Nothing’s the safest, yeah
(Eyestalk #12)
I tell you
Nothing the safest thing of all
(Eyestalks)
Nothing’s the safest yeah,
No, no, no, safest
Biggie: (Clapping his hands) We want more! We want more!
Guy Diamond: (Clapping his hair) Bravo!
Branch: (Tied to a mushroom by the plants) Guys, not now. Poppy was right. You are crazy.
Eyestalk #12: Poppy no more danger. (It shows Poppy tied up in vines.) Poppy dealt with. (Poppy is about to get eaten by a wild plant.)
Poppy: Plant, you are getting on my last nerve!
Branch: No, you can’t! Let her go!
Eyestalk #12: Impossible. Poppy hurt Branch’s feelings. Trolls stay safe at all costs. Safe is what you wanted.
Branch: (angry) Well, it’s not what I want anymore! (He uses his hair to break free from the vines and roars angrily. He then runs to save Poppy. He jumps over the Eyestalks’ vines and over a tree branch. He jumps onto an Eyestalk that has its eyes filled with tears. Branch lands on a net made of vines and sees Poppy getting closer to getting eaten. Branch sees Cooper’s cupcake shop. He runs across the net and uses his hair to grab a Flyer Bug.)
Eyestalks: Danger. Danger. (They try to grab Branch, but he grabs a plate of cupcakes and they miss. Branch sees that he is about to hit the fences.)
Branch: Huh? (He hits the fence and now has some pieces on his face. Poppy is now closer to the wild plant.) Stay away from her! (He flies by the Eyestalks and their eyes turn red.)
All: Danger. Danger.
Eyestalk #13: Awesome! (The other plants look at it.) Uh… danger. Heh. (Branch folds the plate of cupcakes like a taco and shoots them at the plants. He jumps off the Flyer Bug and holds out the fence piece. He cuts the vines and frees Poppy.)
Eyestalks: Danger. Danger. (Branch backs up and the wild plant nearly bites him.)
Branch: Oh, man! I’m out of moves. Poppy, I’m so sorry.
Poppy: Oh, Branch. (She hugs Branch.) You should be. (Branch hugs her back.)
Eyestalk #14: Safe?
Eyestalk #15: Safe?
Branch: Yes! See? She’s not dangerous. My feelings got hurt but she’s right. Too much safety can be smothering.
Eyestalk #16: Danger? Safe? Danger? Safe?
All: Danger? Safe? Danger? Safe? (They wither from mass confusion except for the last one.)
Eyestalk #13: Awesome!
Poppy: Look! One seems to get it.
Branch: Yeah! Well, better get rid of him. (He raises his fence piece.)
Poppy: No! I’ve got another idea. (Later, the Eyestalk is happy with the Trolls flying fast on their Flyer Bugs.)
Eyestalk #13: Awesome! Awesome!
Branch. Wow. This is great. Thank you.
Poppy: Of course. I’m all for safety, as long as we don’t go overboard. See, what I think we learned today is-
Branch: (On a Flyer Bug) Uh, Poppy? Are we gonna do this or what?
Poppy: Oh, you’re on. (She jumps onto an orange Flyer Bug and she and Branch fly off. The Eyestalk looks at the camera.)
Eyestalk #13: Danger.
