The following is a transcript for the episode "Hair Fracture".
== ==
(Branch and Val are carrying Poppy to her pod while Dante flies.)
Branch: Easy, everyone. Easy. (He and Val gently place Poppy on her bed. She has somehow fractured her hair.)
Val: Ooh. That’s a bad hair fracture.
Poppy: (Sitting up) Guys, I really appreciate this, but you have to let me get back to the party. my hair is fine. (Her hair cracks.)
Branch, Val, and Dante: Oh!
Poppy: OK, it’s not 100%, but… (She stands up on her bed.) ... I can fix it with the power of positivity! (Her hair cracks a bit more.) I can fix it with the power of doctors! (Later, Dr. Moonbloom is checking Poppy’s X-rays.)
Dr. Moonbloom: Hm… This is the worst I’ve ever seen. (Poppy, Val, and Branch gasp while Dante faints in fright. We can see that Poppy’s friends have put her bed’s blanket over her. Dr. Moonbloom cleans her glasses and puts them back on.) There. I see much better now.
Dante: (Floating back up) Oh…
Dr. Moonbloom: Queen Poppy, you have a significant hair fracture. How did this happen?
Branch: She was overexerting herself.
Val and Dante: Mm-hm.
Poppy: No, I wasn’t. Here’s what happened, Dr. Moonbloom. As you know, I’ve spent the last eight-and-a-half weeks planning for TrollsTopia’s nine-week-anniversary, which is today. (We go to the past where she is getting ready for the party.) And all I was doing was normal party prep stuff: Sprinkling sprinkles, streamering streamers, and lowering an unbelievably heavy commemoration statue of all six Tribes holding hands in the spirit of unity. (As the statue is nearly lowered, her hair fractures and she screams in pain as her hair drops the statue. Back in the present, Dr. Moonbloom is putting a cast on her hair.) So, you know, just a run of the mill freak accident.
Val, Branch, and Dante: Mm-mm.
Poppy: Anyway, now that you gave me this hair cast, I can get back to prepping the anniversary, right?
Dr. Moonbloom: No. Your hair has to heal. (She draws a picture of Poppy in bed.) I’m prescribing one day of total bed rest.
Poppy: (gasps) But… party! Commemoration! Statue!
Dr. Moonbloom: I’m glad you’re taking this so well. Now, I have a very fun nine-week anniversary to attend. Excuse me. (She puts on star sunglasses and walks backwards.) Whoooooo!
Poppy: A whole day in bed?! But, guys, I need to be at that party to obsess over every detail and plan for every eventuality however unlikely!
Branch: Sorry, Poppy. Doctor’s orders. We’ll handle the anniversary.
Dante: Yes. Fear not, Poppy. I, Dante Crescendo, Legendary Composer and noted, Party Animal… will assemble a team to a see the festivities. Why, I’ll even cut the Commemorative Ribbon myself. (He puts on a pair of purple star sunglasses and leaves.) Whooooooo!
Poppy: Well, I guess I could sit this one out.
Val: Yeah. Way to know your limits, Popsqueak.
Branch: That’s the spirit. (He puts on yellow star sunglasses while Val puts on orange star sunglasses and they leave.) Yeah!
Val: Whoooooo!
Poppy: OK, sitting it out. (She hums and taps her hands on her blanket. As she does that, a clock’s ticking can be heard.) Sitting… it… ouuuuuut! (After a few more seconds, she removes her blanket and stands up.) Aaah! Now way! I can’t do it! (Just before she leaves her pod, Branch and Val block her way.) Huh?
Val: (As she and Branch remove their sunglasses) Nice try. But we knew that big heart of yours wouldn’t give up that easily.
Branch: Yep. So we’re staying here to guard the door and make sure you rest. (He draws a line on the ground.)
Poppy: Guys, you know I adore you both, but I have to prep that party no matter what! (She draws another line.)
Val: Oh, yeah? (She draws yet another line.)
Poppy: Yeah! (She, Branch, and Val play a game of tic-tac-toe and Poppy loses.) Aaah!
Branch and Val: (Putting their fists in the air) We win!
Poppy: Ugh! (She goes back to her bed and Val puts her blanket over her.)
Val: There you go. Nice and comfy.
Branch: Now, if you need us, we’ll be right out here, ready to thwart your every escape attempt.
Poppy: And I’ll be in here, thwarting your thwarts with thwarts of my own. Except it will be cooler than that just sounded. (Soon, she gets out of her blanket, gathers scrapbook supplies, and a scrapbooked doll of herself.) Well, if I’m stuck in here, I might as well scrapbook! (She takes out a tape of herself scrapbooking and humming. Not knowing that there are dolls of Branch and Val, she sneaks to the window.)
Branch Doll: Be ready for anything.
Val Doll: Rock on. (After Poppy gets out her window, she is instantly caught.)
Poppy: Aaah! But… you were just… How?! (Branch and Val look at each other. The camera then moves to the dolls of themselves.)
Branch Doll: Ha-ha! Man, we’re good.
Val Doll: Ha-ha! I know. (The dolls fall over. Later, Poppy makes a huge paper airplane.)
Poppy: Yes! (She jumps onto the paper airplane and flies out of her pod.) HA-HAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Suddenly, Val and Branch use their hair as fans and Poppy flies back into her pod.) Awww! (Inside, Branch and Val tuck her in again.) Guys, I know you’re just trying to help, but this party is too important! I am not gonna give up!
Val: Neither are we! So, bring it on!
Poppy: Oh, I’ll do better than that! I’ll sing it on! (She takes out a microphone and removes her blanket.)
(Poppy)
TrollsTopia rules challenger begins
Head to head
Toe to toe
Who’s it gonna be?
Stand down, don’t you know
Nothing’s stopping me
(Val)
I’ve got the power
I wanna do what is right
I wanna put up a fight
(Branch)
I’ll never cower
As long as I’m around
There’s nothing bad going down
(Val)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Branch)
Wooooooooooooow!
(Both)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Suddenly, the music stops. Branch and Val see that Poppy is gone.)
Branch: Wait. Where’d she go?
Val: Did she just trick us into getting caught up in a sing-off?
Both: NO! (They run to the window to see Poppy leave in the Dune Huggy.)
Val: Gah! She outsmarted as with deception! I mean, I’m actually pretty impressed. But still.
Branch: Don’t worry. We know exactly where she’s going. (That night at the party, Smidge reaches a plate of marshtato tarts.)
Smidge: Ooh! Marshtato tarts! I’ll just have one… plateful. (She eats the whole plate. Poppy appears in a bush.)
Poppy: Smidge!
Smidge: (Jumping in shock with her mouth full) Oh, my Guh!
Poppy: How’s the party going? Everything running smoothly?
Smidge: Wait. Shouldn’t you be in bed resting your hair?
Poppy: I’m just here to make sure that the party is set. Then it’s back to bed, I promise. (She gasps because she sees something.) Uh-oh. (Branch and Val appear with a SWAT team of Fuzzlings.)
Branch: All right, she’s here. Search every corner. But also have a good time. This is your party, too. (The Fuzzlings put on star sunglasses and march into the party.)
Smidge: Poppy, what are you gonna do?
Poppy: Only one thing to do: Party planning stealth mode. (She puts another plate of marshtato tarts on the table. The camera moves to Gust Tumbleweed eating nachos.)
Gust: No dip. (Poppy puts some dip on the table.) Well, I’ll be dip! (He puts the dip on his chip and eats it. Poppy goes back to the bush and sees some Trolls bored with no music. She turns on a phonograph and it plays music. The Trolls start dancing. Poppy sees a Techno Troll, Classical Troll, and Country Troll bored with their drink cups and shoots some umbrellas into them.)
All: Whoa! (Poppy goes back to Smidge.)
Poppy: Smidge! (Smidge jumps in shock again.) OK, I think the party is in good shape. And just in time for the ribbon cutting!
Dante: And now, fellow TrollsTopians, in one of life’s great tirities, the severing of this ribbon shall represent all of us coming together. (He takes out a pair of small scissors.)
Poppy: Troll-molly! What is that?!
Smidge: What?
Poppy: Dante can’t cut the ribbon with those scissors! Those are left-handed tailor grippers, not regulation ribbon cutting sheers! Do you know what will happen?!
Smidge: (gasps) I think I do! (She imagines Dante cutting the ribbon.)
Dante: And now, I cut! (He tries to cut the ribbon, but it doesn’t work.) NO! THOSE SCISSORS ARE NOT CUTTING! (The Trolls start running around and screaming. The Vibe Town Spaceship crashes and all the Trolls disappear into glitter dust. Then the event explodes in a mushroom cloud of glitter. The camera moves out of Smidge’s eyes.)
Smidge: Whoa!
Poppy: Smidge, that’s not what will happen. But it’s close. I’ve got to swap those scissors! (She picks up the scissors and Branch sees her.)
Branch: I got eyes on the target! (Poppy and Smidge gasp.) The candy’s in the piñata. Repeat, the candy’s in the piniata!
Val: All Fuzzling units to the snack table! (The Fuzzlings appear and run toward Poppy.)
Smidge: You’ve been made! Run for it!
Poppy: But, Smidge, I can’t run with scissors!
Smidge: You’ve been made! Walk for it! (Poppy walks very fast.) Oh, my Guh! (The Fuzzlings chase after Poppy. She runs faster as she gets closer to the ribbon.)
Dante: And now, I cut! (He gets ready to cut the ribbon. Poppy gasps three times. Just before she reaches the statue, the Fuzzlings block her. Luckily, she sees a branch. She removes her hair cast and grabs the branch.)
Poppy: Woo-hoo! (The crowd gasps as she swings. Just then, her hair cracks again.) Oh, right. My hair is broken. (She screams as she falls. She hits the statue and lands face-down on the ground.) Here. Use these. (She gives Dante the scissors. Before he cuts the ribbon, he sees the statue wobbling and it falls and breaks. As the crowd gasps, Dante cuts the ribbon. Poppy gets up.) No! No, no, no, no! (She kneels down.) I’m so sorry, everyone. I was just… I just wanted to make this a great anniversary. But my hair… (She looks at Val and Branch.) … but my hair needed rest. And even though some good friends tried to tell me that… I didn’t listen. I’m sorry I ruined the party.
Dante: Au contraire, Poppy.
Poppy: Huh?
Dante: You’ve ruined nothing. Behold! (Some flying bugs carry another statue into the party and the crowd cheers.)
Poppy: You mean you… you made a back-up statue?
Branch: We obsessed over every detail and plan for every eventuality however unlikely.
Val: Just like you would’ve.
Poppy: Aw! You guys! (She hugs Branch and Val.) Well, I can see that this party is in full hand. So I better get back to bed.
Branch: Actually, we’ve been talking about that. We have an idea. (He and Val bring Poppy’s bed to the party. Poppy now has a new hair cast. She gets in her bed and Val puts her blanket over her.)
Val: All good? Get you anything?
Poppy: No. (She puts on a pair of pink star sunglasses.) I got everything I need right here. (The Trolls cheer for her.)
Val: Well, I see a job or yours done. (She and Branch put on their star sunglasses. Then they walk backwards. Smidge gets up on Poppy’s bed.)
Smidge: Hey, Poppy. (She eats another marshtato tart.) Can I sign your new cast?
Poppy: Be my guest. (Smidge writes the words "The End" on her cast.)
