The following is a transcript for the episode "Branch Out of Water".
== ==
(Poppy is in her pod scrapbooking. She closes her eyes, puts on a blindfold and tries scrapbooking at a very fast pace.)
Poppy: Ta-da! (She moves her blindfold up to look at the results. Her scrapbook is messed up. She then removes her blindfold.) Huh. I guess I can’t do that.
Branch: (offscreen) Poppy? (Poppy turns around to see him panting and covered in pink glitter.)
Poppy: Branch?
Branch: (Walking up to Poppy) Things have gotten way out of hand, Poppy. We need to talk, right now.
Poppy: Of course, Branch. You can always talk to me. But you are covered head to toe glitter. So first… (She takes out a camera and takes a picture of Branch. She laughs while he grunts with annoyance. Then she puts the camera away.) OK, I’m listening.
Branch: It all started 4 days ago. (We go to a flashback to where he is about to go for his 4 a.m. swim at Hiding Place Hot Springs.) I was going for my daily 4 a.m. swim at Hiding Place Hot Springs. But when I got there, I found the Techno Trolls having a rave! (He sees the Techno Trolls having a rave where they are dancing and swimming to music.)
Poppy: At 4 in the morning? Why?
Past Branch: It’s the most refreshing hour of the day, Poppy! (We go back to the present.)
Branch: Flashback Branch is right. It’s the most refreshing hour of the day, Poppy! And without my morning swim, my entire gets thrown off in a million horrifying ways. (We go to the first flashback to where Branch is tired and wearing a white housecoat.) I get tired… (He tries to pour coffee into a cup, but it ends up spilling onto the floor and burns his feet.)
Past Branch: Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. (We go to another flashback where Branch is wearing odd socks with one being pink with camouflage and the other blue with clouds.)
Branch: I put on mismatched socks…
Past Branch: I don’t even wear socks! (We go to the last flashback where Branch is picking Flavor Berries.)
Branch: And was so out of it at the Flavor Berry Patch that I wandered straight into a pit of Quick Glitter! (He looks down to see that he is sinking in a pit of Quick Glitter.)
Past Branch: I don’t even eat Flavor Berries! (He sinks completely into the Quick Glitter and it bubbles. Then we go back to the present.)
Branch: I almost drowned… in glitter!
Poppy: I feel as though I must ask, did you try talking to the Techno Trolls about it?
Branch: (groans) You know I’m not much of a talker. I’m more of lock myself in an underground fortress and groan. Err.
Poppy: Well, I think you should build a friendship with the Techno Trolls. Maybe as friends, you could figure this out. (She sings like she is screaming and Branch starts.) I could do this all day!
Branch: OK, we’ll try your thing. (He groans and faints. Later, he and Poppy head for the water elevator.)
Poppy: Bottom floor, Techno Lagoon! (She and Branch take out water helmets and put on them.)
Branch: So, how is this supposed to- (The elevator closes and it goes underwater to Techno Lagoon. Poppy and Branch look around in amazement. The elevator lands and they see the Techno Trolls dancing.)
Poppy: (Pointing at Synth) There. That’s Synth. Make friends with him and I’m sure he’ll help you with the hotsprings.
Branch: (Taking a deep breath) OK. (He walks over to Synth.) Hi! Synth? (He doesn’t answer him.) Can I… can I talk to you for a second?
Synth: Can’t do it, bro! The music’s calling the shots! And the music says… we rave! Wooo-hooo!
All: Wooo-hooo!
Branch: Yes, yes, I see that. I see that the music says that. Could the music make an exception or…
Synth: (laughs) I like you! What’s your rave name?
Branch: I’m sorry. My what?
Synth: Oh! How about Dubstep?
Branch: (Grinding his teeth) Absolutely not!
Synth: (Taking Branch’s hand) His name is Dubstep!
All: Dubstep! (Branch grunts with frustration. A Techno Troll named Laguna Tidepool appears.)
Laguna: Note: The male Pop Troll appears to resent our festivities. Fascinating.
Branch: (sighs) OK. And you are?
Synth: Oh, Dubstep, meet Laguna Tidepool, our AnTROLLpoligist! (He lies down with his hands on his cheeks.)
Branch: Oh, a scientist! Finally, someone I can have a sensible conversation with!
Laguna: (Starting to dance) Sorry! I’m afraid the beat just hooked me and it refuses to let go! Heeeey!
All: Heeeey!
Branch: OK, let’s cut to the chase. I’d really like it if I could have the Hiding Place Hot Springs for my 4 a.m. morning swim. Agreed?
Synth: Oh! Sorry, bro. That spot is perfect for our wake-up rave. It makes every day so… meh meh meh meh meh meh!
Branch: Yes, I know! Without it, my life is a disaster! Gah! (He does a face palm.)
Poppy: (Wearing bracelets) Branch, remember what we talked about. Be their friend. (She walks backwards.) Whoo! Yeah! All right!
Branch: (sighs) Tell you what, Synth. We can discuss this later. For now, why don’t I spend the day here doing things you all like to do? You know, become friends?
Synth: Well, Dubstep, I know we’re the Techno Trolls, but today we’ll say…
All: Tech yes! (At the surface, he surfs on his tail.) One thing we Techno Trolls love to do while making new friends is whirlpool surfing! (He surfs in a whirlpool.) Wooo-hooo! (He jumps onto the beach.)
Branch: Surfing?! That’s a killer water vortex!
Synth: I know! Totally killer! Whoooooo! (He pushes Branch into the water. He screams as he gets sucked into the whirlpool. After that, Synth and two Techno Trolls treditate.) Yo, in Trediation, you can only float when you turn down the volume on the world and turn up the volume of you. Can you hear you, Dubstep? (Branch kicks very fast to stay above the water and gets sucked into the whirlpool again. After that, he and Synth are at a sea urchin acupuncture.) Bro, I swear, nothing gets your head right like sea urchin acupuncture. Just lean into it. (The light blue Techno Troll is about to put a sea urchin on Branch. He sweats in fear.)
Branch: No! No, no! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! AAAAAHHH! (He runs away from the sea urchin. Not realizing he is floating in midair above the whirlpool, he falls into it once more. He then washes to the shore where Poppy is relaxing.)
Poppy: Branch? Are you OK?
Branch: (Getting up) I’m done, Poppy! (He spits out a fish.) We will never resolve the Hotsprings issue, because the Techno Trolls and I will never be friends! (He starts to walk away.)
Poppy: OK, then I guess you’ll just have to go on having the rest of your life thrown off in a million horrifying ways. (Branch stops and looks at her.)
Branch: Fine. I’ll go back and try harder. But I’m gonna groan about it. (He puts his water helmet back on and groans. Then he meets Synth at Techno Lagoon.) Synth? Look, we’ve got off to rough start. But I want to work through it. What do you say? (He takes out two green glowsticks and Synth gasps.) LET’S GET THIS FRIENDSHIP STARTED! (The Techno Trolls cheer and some including Synth throws Branch into the air. Later in his swimsuit, Branch gets used to the Techno Trolls’ routines and becomes friends with Synth. During this, Best of Friends plays.)
(Branch)
Came to win
Win new friend
And I’m all in
And I’m not leaving
‘Till it happens
And we’re friends
Until the end
So let’s get this
Party going
(Both)
I try and I try
And I’m not giving up
And I do it for you, my friend
It doesn’t matter where we go
Or what you and I don’t know
‘Cause when all this comes to an end
Yes, it’s gonna be me and you
Everything we’ve been through
And we’ll have become best of friends
Yes, we’ll have become best of friends (After that, Branch and Synth are on the beach.)
Branch: Wow! This has been great, Synth! I feel like we made a genuine connection.
Synth: (laughs) Dubstep, we make a great mash-up! In fact, we’ve been thinking. We’re gonna give you those Hotsprings! (Branch gasps happily. The next morning, he goes for his early morning swim. Later, he comes over to Poppy in a good mood. He throws and apple in the air using his posterior and a bug slices it.)
Poppy: Looks like someone’s in a good mood. (She eats and apple slice.)
Branch: You were right, Poppy. I became Synth’s friend, got my morning swim back, and now everything’s coming up Branch. (He gasps because he sees the Techno Trolls tired. Three are pouring hot coffee on themselves.)
Techno Troll #1: Ow. Ow. Ow.
All: Ow. Ow. Ow.
Poppy: Oh. I see what’s going on. They missed their morning rave, and now their day’s thrown off. (We see that a light purple Techno Troll is hitting himself off a mushroom and a pink Techno Troll falls asleep on the ground.)
Branch: No, you’re wrong! They can’t all be like this! Laguna! (He gives the plate of apple slices to Poppy and goes over to Laguna.) Oh, thank goodness! You seem OK!
Laguna: Of course. Wait. (The camera moves down to see her wearing odd socks. One of them is teal with purple ducks and the other is light blue with blue dolphins.) Hm. I don’t even wear socks. This is devastating.
Branch: (gasps) It really is happening! Your lives are being thrown off in… in…
Laguna: In a million horrifying ways, yes. (Branch screams in terror.) I should really inform Synth about this. You know the whereabouts of the Flavor Berry Patch?
Branch: (gasps) Flavor Berry Patch?!
Laguna: Yes. Synth went there to… pick berries.
Branch: But that’s where the Quick Glitter is! I gotta help him! (He runs off to find Synth.) Synth?! Synth?! (He hears Synth’s cries for help. He has nearly sunk in the Quick Glitter down to his chest.) Oh, no! Synth! (He tries to use his hair as a rope to save Synth, but he is too far from it.) I can’t reach!
Synth: This is it for me, Dubstep! The final beat drops! But if I’m going down, I’m going down raving! (He takes out two glowsticks and raves. Branch uses his hair as a stick and jumps into the Quick Glitter.) Dubstep, what are you doing?!
Branch: I’m helping my friend. You can float out if this if you treaditate. Just turn down the volume on the world and turn up the volume of you, like you taught me! Can you hear you?
Synth: What?! Bro, that’s a pretty high-stake move given that I barely remember saying that!
Branch: Look at me! Now turn up the volume on you. Turn up the volume on you. Turn up the volume on you! (He and Synth sink completely into the Quick Glitter for a moment and then rise back out with Treaditation. Then they get out of the Quick Glitter.)
Synth: Dubstep, you saved me!
Branch: Yeah, well, it’s the least I could do… for a friend.
Synth: (gasps) Bro!
Branch: In fact, Synth, I want the Techno Trolls to have the Hotsprings. You guys need it more than I do.
Synth: Dubstep, this is so sick of you. Would you join us for our morning rave?
Branch: A rave? At 4 a.m.? (He and Synth sing like they are screaming. The next morning, Branch and the Techno Trolls are sharing their 4 a.m. swim with music. Branch jumps out of the water like a fish.) Woo-hoo! (He lands back in with Synth.) This is 10 times as refreshing as my morning swim! The water, the beat, it’s…
Branch and Synth: Meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh!
All: Meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh!
