The following is a transcript for the episode "Val Serves Murray Duty".
== ==
(Val and the Rock Trolls are sleeping and drooling. Val wakes up quickly.)
Val: Ha!
All: Huh?
Val: I want to ride a roller coaster.
All: YEAH! (As soon as Val arrives at the Hug Fest, Poppy, Holly, and two male Pop Trolls turn around and move out of the way for her.)
Val: (laughs) Let’s ride. (She and the other Rock Trolls laugh and go to the ticket booth. Striped Smiley holds out a hand.)
Striped Smiley: Hold there.
All: Huh?
Striped Smiley: Wait just a tick, Antsy Nancy. Hate to put a halt on this hip-hip-hooray, but I can’t rip your ticket till you serve Murray Duty!
Val: Uh, can someone translate? My total gibberish is a bit rusty.
Poppy: Come on, Val. Murray Duty! As in, Murray the Puffalo? The mascot of the theme park? (A purple male Pop Troll is dressed up as Murray and entertaining some Troll children with horns.)
Pop Troll #1: (laughing) Puff-a-hello!
All: Puff-a-hello! (The purple male Pop Troll takes out two pies and puts them on himself, making the children laugh.)
Val: Oh, I know Murray. He features heavily in my nightmares.
Striped Smiley: Yessir, ol’ Murray is the pride of the park, and Trolls take turns being him as an act of civic service that we call “Murray Duty”. Which you’d know if you answered any of those Murray Duty letters we’ve sent you, you silly goose! (He hands out a letter to Val.)
Val: Pfft. I never got any letters. Oh, wait… (We go to the past where she is playing her guitar. A Deliver Bug gives her a letter.)
Past Val: Here, file this for me. (Fang comes out from her hair and takes the letter. We then go back to the present.)
Val: Oh, yeah. That is a thing I do. (She and the Rock Trolls laugh while Fang takes the letter from her.)
Striped Smiley: Well, I’m afraid that thing you do is a no-can-do, and you can’t enter the park till your Murray Duty has been fulfilled! (He hands out another letter.)
Val: Why don’t you guys head on in? (She takes the letter from Striped Smiley.) Looks like I’m gonna have to get hard core with this guy… (She crumbles the letter. The Rock Trolls laugh and head into the theme park.) Now, I didn’t wanna have to do this, but… (She turns to Poppy.) Please, Poppy! You gotta talk to this guy for me! I can’t be some goofy mascot. I’ve been cultivating a hardcore rocker image my entire life. See, when I raise my fist, it’s like… (We go to the past again where Val raises her fist.)
All: YEEEEAAAH!
Val: But if Hard Rock Trolls see me in that embarrassing get-up, they’d lose all respect for me. It would be like… (We go to the future where Val raises her fist in her Murray costume.)
Future Demo: Pass. (He and the Rock Trolls mutter while walking away. We go back to the present again.)
Poppy: Come on, Val. Murray Duty is a way for us to give back to our community. It’s a true honor. (We see the purple male Pop Troll carrying the Troll children while laughing. He falls and the children laugh.)
Val: Nope. Sorry, Poppy. I can’t.
Poppy: OK. You’ve grown a lot since moving to TrollsTopia. I’m sure in the end you’ll do the right thing. But until then, no Murray, no coasters. (She hums as she walks into the park. Val watches the kids laughing with the purple male Pop Troll. She then looks at three Trolls on the roller coaster. She looks at the letter and groans with reluctance. Soon, she is with a female Country Troll and an orange male Funk Troll. Biggie is the coordinator.)
Biggie: Welcome! I’m Biggie, your parkappointed Murray coordinator, here to guide you as you fulfill your Murray Duty! Puff-a-hello!
Country Troll #1 and Funk Troll #1: Puff-a-hello!
Biggie: It has been my honor to serve Murray Duty over 100 times! (He shows pictures of his past times serving Murray Duty.) Including Techno Day, Classical Day, and Country-Western Day. (He puts the pictures away.) Why, I’ve done it so often, it’s hard to tell if I’m playing Murray… (He becomes scared.) … or if it’s the other way round. (He looks at a Puffalo costume.) Which one’s really the costume? (He takes out two Puffalo costumes.) Anyway, let the tryouts begin! (He throws the costumes to Val and the female Country and male Funk Troll.)
Country Troll #1 and Funk Troll #1: Yeah!
Val: Wait. You have tryouts?
Biggie: Of course! But don’t worry; if you tryout without getting an assignment, it still counts toward fulfilling your Murray Duty.
Val: Really? (She puts on her costume.) Well, we better get started and find out who’s not cut out to be Murray! ‘Cause some of us are gonna be pretty awful. (Later, she is on the mushroom with Biggie.)
Biggie: Round 1: Dancing. Val, show me your best Murray moves.
Val: Oh, trust me, you’ve never seen moves like mine. Hit it, worm! (Mr. Dinkles lays his head on a music machine and music starts playing. Val then starts doing a silly dance while laughing. She soon loses her balance.) Whoa. Whoa! (She regains her balance.)
Biggie: Val, what’s happening?
Val: Whoa! I’m stumbling! (She falls off the mushroom and walks backwards while nearly falling.) I’m so bad at this! (She stumbles through the bushes and across a fence.) Whoa! (She stumbles through some Fuzzlings. Whoa! (She stumbles through a flag a purple female and yellow male Pop Troll are carrying.) Whoa! (She falls onto a wagon of berries and breaks it.) Oh, no! What a blunder I’ve made! (Biggie runs over to her.)
Biggie: Oh, my Troll, Val. There is only one word to describe a bumbling display like that… Awesome!
Val: Yeah, I’ll just show myself out. Wait. Did you say “awful” or “awesome?”
Biggie: Awesome! I’ve never seen anyone capture Murray’s clumsy charm so perfectly! (He laughs along with a crowd of Trolls.)
Val: Oh, I’ll show you charm. (Soon, she and Biggie on a tiny train.)
Biggie: Round 5: The Murray Choo Choo! For the purpose of this exercise, I will be playing your rider. (He acts like a toddler.) Biggie wants a twain wide!
Val: Okie dokie. Off we go, lil’ buddy. Buckle up. (She starts the train and it goes very fast. Biggie screams and holds onto his hat.)
Biggie: Uh… Biggie finks da twain doesn’t usuwawy go dis fast! (He continues screaming. A second later, the train goes off the track. It passes a purple male Techno Troll who is trying to throw a ball into the Hug Shot. It flies into the air and goes through the hoop.)
Techno Troll #1: Woo-hoo! (A blue female Funk Troll and another yellow male Pop Troll are riding the bumper cars. They soon bump into each other.)
Funk Troll #2 and Pop Troll #2: Yeah! (The tiny train passes by, causing the bumper cars to spin.) Yeah! (The tiny train leaves the Hug Fest while some Trolls run out of the way. The tiny train goes onto the train tracks of the MeTroll. Biggie then sees it coming up ahead.)
Biggie: AAAH! STOP DA TWAIN! STOP DA TWAIN!!! (Val steers the tiny train out of the way just in time and it flies into the air and goes back to the tiny train track at the Hug Fest. Biggie is seen lying down.)
Val: Well? How’d I do?
Biggie: (Sitting up) All right, that’s quite enough! I have never, in all my life, seen a Murray be so reckless! Which means you’re the perfect Murray for Hard Rock Day! (Val becomes scared.  Later, there is a huge line at the park entrance.)
Striped Smiley: Welcome to Hard Rock Day! (The crowd cheers and enters the park. (At a toy booth with Puffalo toys, Val comes out of hiding.)
Val: Oh, man. Of course I’d get stuck doing Murray Duty on the one day all of the Hard Rock Trolls are guaranteed to be here.
Poppy: Val, you can’t spend the day hiding. For some Trolls, seeing Murray is the most magical part of coming to the part.
Val: Hey, all anyone said was that I have to be Murray for the day, OK? No-one said that Trolls had to see me doing it. A’Murray out. (As she hides around the Hug Fest, she sings Get Away.)
(Val)
I got to get away
Get away
Get, get away, yeah!
Hey, hey, hey!
I got to get away
Get away
Get, get away, yeah!
Hey, hey!
Yeah, I can’t waste
Another minute
I gotta run
If I’m gonna escape
Far far away
I think I think they’re
Already onto me
So I can’t waste
Another minute
All the humiliation
I just can’t take
I got to get away
Get away
Get, get away, yeah!
Hey, hey, hey!
I got to get away
Get away
Get, get away, yeah!
Hey, hey!
No, I can’t waste
Another single minute (By closing time, the Rock Trolls start to leave.)
Striped Smiley: Thank you, one and all, for making this a rockin’ day at the park. (Val comes out of hiding.)
Val: Yes! Closing time! Almost home free. Right about now, my friends should be heading out. (She sees Demo and two Rock Trolls heading toward her.) Boom! And right about now, Poppy is fed up with me hiding all day, so she’s glaring at me with a hilarious look of disapproval. (She looks at an annoyed Poppy.) Ha-ha! Nailed it! (Poppy grunts with annoyance.) Sorry, Popsqueak, but I don’t feel the least bit bad here. I mean, I’ve fulfilled my Murray Duty, kept the respect of the Hard Rock Trolls, and all it meant was that a few Trolls couldn’t see a big, furry goofball. Honestly, who cares, right?
Poppy: Well, Val, for starters, he cares. (She points to a sad Troll child.)
Troll Child #1: But I don’t understand. Where was Murray? I looked and looked, and I didn’t see him the whole day. (Val sees Demo and the two Rock Trolls approaching.)
Val: No, Poppy. I can’t.
Poppy: OK, Val, like I said, you’ve grown a lot since you’ve moved to TrollsTopia. In the end, you’ll do the right thing… (Val looks at the sad Troll child.)
Troll Child #1: I guess Murray didn’t want to see me. (Val’s eyes fill with tears and she gets out of the toy booth. Demo and the two Rock Trolls see her.)
Demo: (gasps) Val?
Val: Excuse me. (She takes out two horns and comes over to the Troll child and his father. She then honks the horns while laughing.) Puff-a-hello!
Troll Child #1: Puff-a-hello! (Val throws pies on herself, making him laugh. More Trolls come over to see her. Soon, they leave.)
Val: Come back soon! Murray loves ya! (She sees Demo and the two Rock Trolls and sighs.) Let’s just say what we’re all thinking. Saw me in the costume and now it’s changed they way you look at me.
Demo: Well, actually, yeah, it has… (Val lets out a sad sigh.) We respect you more than ever.
Val: Yeah, I’ll just show myself out. Wait, did you say “reject” or “respect?”
Demo: Respect.
Val: But being Murray, it’s so…
Demo: Goofy? Yeah, we though so, too. But it’s actually a way to give back to the community. It’s a real honor. We just didn’t realize it, not until we did our Murray Duty.
Val: You… you guys? You did all the-
All: Mm-hm.
Val: Wow. So, just outta curiosity, what would you all say if I did this? (She does the hand sign of the Rock Trolls.)
All: Yeah! Murray! Murray! Murray! (They carry Val out of the park and the episode ends.)
