The following is a transcript for the episode "Disgruntle Weeds".
== ==
(At Rock Hollow, Demo is doing the laundry with a few Rock Trolls. Val appears with her face painted and wearing an orange scarf.)
Val: Are you ready to rock?! Yow!
Demo: (Picking up heart-patterned underwear) No! We are not! Yow! (He hangs up the underwear.)
Val: Why aren’t you partying? Rock-Troll-ber Fest starts today!
Demo: Uh… no, it doesn’t. Today’s only the first of Troll-tember?
Val: So? When is Rock-Troll-ber Fest?
Demo: Um… Oc-Troll-ber?
Val: Ugh! Ugh! (She leaves Rock Hollow.) Lousy calendars. (She removes her scarf and face paint.) You and your false promises. I won’t let you hurt me again! (Suddenly, the wind blows and a Grumble Weed hits Val’s foot.)
Grumble Weed #1: Ugh! The sun’s too bright.
Val: What was that?
Grumble Weed #1: My eyes hurt.
Val: (Doing a facepalm) Ugh. Perfect. First, no Rock-Troll-ber Fest and now I gotta deal with this. (More Grumble Weeds appear.)
Grumble Weed #2: I’m hungry.
Grumble Weed #3: I’m tired.
Grumble Weed #4: I don’t wanna eat my broccoli.
Val: What? (She runs to the Pop Village Market with the Grumble Weeds following her. Poppy and Holly are about to get cupcakes from a shop.) Does anyone know what the deal is with these infuriating bushes?!
Grumble Weed #5: Hey! Quit talkin’ about us like we’re not here!
Grumble Weed #2: Yeah! Rude!
Val: GAH!
Holly: Uh-oh, Val. Looks like you’ve attracted some “Disgruntle Weeds” We see ‘em round Lonesome Flats from time to time. A peculiar, ill-tempered plant that is instinctively drawn to… well, grumblin’. So, Val, you been grumblin’ today?
Val: What? No! Everyone blames me for everything.
Grumble Weed #1 Ugh. This is TrollsTopia? Pfft. I’ve seen better Topias.
Grumble Weed #6: Why’s it so hot?! It’s Troll-tember! (Val chuckles nervously.)
Poppy: OK, Holly, how do we handle these things? Please say relentlessly positivity.
Holly: Not this time, girl.
Poppy: Aw.
Holly: Nope. Our only option is to round ‘em up to a place they can roam and grumble free, Grumble Gulch. (She whistles and four Saddle Spiders appear with Gust.)
Gust: Am I to understand there’s some Disgruntle Weeds that need driving?
Holly: Indeed there are, Gust. (She jumps onto a Saddle Spider.) We got a long, gruelin’ journey ahead of us.
Poppy: Long and grueling? Val, you’re not gonna let Holly do all that work by herself, are you?
Val: Of course not! She’s got Gust. (She walks off and Poppy sighs.)
Holly: Aw, don’t let Val get to you, Poppy. We’re all used to it.
Val: Wait. Used to what?
Holly: Oh. (chuckles) It’s just that whenever you make a mess, someone else has to clean it up.
Val: Wha-? That’s not true.
Holly: Meh. It’s fine, sugar. Like I said, we’re all used to it. Hyah! (Just as she and Gust are about to leave, Val stops them.)
Val: No! I… I don’t like this. I don’t like my friends thinking of me that way. So… (She starts climbing onto the last Saddle Spider.) I’m coming with you to show you that… (grunts) … I can clean up my own mess. Wah! No! (She slips onto the Saddle Spider’s tummy and it starts moving.) Whoa! Stop! AAAAAAH!
Holly and Gust: Hyah! (They start following Val.)
Poppy: Well, now I have to come! (She jumps onto her Saddle Spider.) Yeah! Road Trip! (She catches up with Holly, Val, and Gust and they ride into the desert. The Grumble Weeds start complaining.)
Grumble Weed #1: It’s so dusty!
Grumble Weed #2: I can’t move so fast!
Grumble Weed #3: Where are we going?
Grumble Weed #4: I don’t wanna go this way! I wanna go that way! (Val is struggling to keep her balance on her Saddle Spider.)
Val; Ah… Ah… Ah..
Holly: Oops. You got a stray, Val. (She takes out a rope and starts spinning it.) I best rope ‘em back into the fold.
Val: No. I told you! I clean up my messes! (She starts spinning her rope.) Hyah! (She tries to lasso a Grumble Weed, but misses.)
Grumble Weed #5: Pfft. You call that lassoing?
Val: Ugh! Haaaa! (She ends up wrapping her rope around herself and her Saddle Spider.)
Grumble Weed #5: Pfft. You call that lassoing?!
Val: Ugh! Haaaa! (She manages to lasso the Grumble Weed.)
Grumble Weed #5: Oof!
Val: (Standing up on her Saddle Spider) Yes! (She loses her balance.) Whoa! (She lands on the ground with a faceplant.) Argh!
Grumble Weed #5: Pfft. You call that faceplanting? (Soon, a thunderstorm starts. Poppy, Holly, and Gust escort the Grumble Weeds across a river.)
Holly: Come on!
Gust: Come on! Come on! (Val is having trouble pushing the last Grumble Weed across the river.)
Grumble Weed #4: Ugh! It’s gonna be so cold! I hate the smell of wet weeds!
Val: I… clean up my messes! (Lightning flashes, causing her and the Grumble Weed to fall into the river. Her screaming can be heard.)
Grumble Weed #4: Oh, I hate this! (After a while, the sun is setting. Poppy, Holly, Val, and Gust stop to rest.)
All: Whoa!
Holly: Well, let’s camp here for the night, y’all. (A cloud of dust blows on Val.)
Val: (Getting off her Saddle Spider) So… much… dust. (She gets dust and a snake out of her ear.)
Holly: Hang in there, Val. We’re almost to the gulch.
Val: Really?!
Holly: Just two more days! (Val lies down and sobs. Later, while Poppy, Holly, and Gust are asleep, Val remains awake.)
Val: Ugh. (She hears a bush rustling and Demo appears with his face painted and a purple scarf.) Demo? (She gets out of her sleeping leaf and goes into the bush.) What are you doing here?
Demo: Oh, man, thank goodness I found you. Val, we double checked the calendar, and you were right. Rock-Troll-ber Fest does start in Troll-tember! Everyone’s confused and excited!
Val: Ha! I knew it!
Demo: Yeah. Now, come on. The festivities have already started. Here, you can paint your face on the way. Let’s go! (Val starts to leave with him, but stops.)
Val: Huh? (She looks at Poppy, Holly, and Gust sleeping.) Wait. I can’t leave. I’m trying to show these guys I can bring the Disgruntle Weeds to the gulch.
Demo: Seriously? But Rock-Troll-ber Fest will be over by the time you do that.
Val: Hm. Unless… I bring the gulch to the Disgruntle Weeds! (She drops some bugs that look like lines.) Eh?
Demo: Am I supposed to know what that means?
Val: Head back to TrollsTopia and I’ll meet you there soon. Just be sure to leave that face paint.
Demo: (Giving the face paint to Val) Got it. (He starts to leave.) Wait! Which way is Trolls- (A giant snake appears from the ground, swallows, Demo, and goes back underground.) GAH! (The next morning, Poppy, Holly, and Gust are still asleep. Val shakes them awake.)
Val: Wake up! Wake up! I spotted something just over the next hill.
Gust: Huh?
Val: You’re not going to believe it! (Later, a sign that says “Grumble Gulch” is seen. Poppy, Holly, Val, and Gust arrive at it with their Saddle Spiders.)
Poppy: I… I don’t believe it. We’re already here at the gulch? But I thought you said it would take a couple of more days.
Holly: I did! And while I’ve only been to the gulch but one time, I don’t remember there ever bein’ a sign.
Poppy, Holly, and Gust: Hm…
Saddle Spiders: Hm…
Val: Uh… you don’t?
Gust: Then again, signs don’t lie!
Holly: No, Gust, they surely do not!
Val: Phew.
Holly: Now get on home, Disgruntle Weeds!
Grumble Weed: #2: Don’t tell me what to do.
Grumble Weed #5: Thanks, Dad.
Poppy: Yaaaay!
Holly and Gust: Woo-hoo! (The Grumble Weeds leave the group and they head for home.)
Val: Oh, man! I’m gonna thrash so hard when I get back.
Holly: As you should, Val. You earned the right to thrash in whatever manner you please, given how you helped save the lives of them weeds. (Poppy, Val, and Gust laugh.)
Val: Yeah. Wait. Save their lives?
Gust: ‘Course. You see, Disgruntle Weeds are at the absolute bottom of the food chain. Why, their bellyachin’ will turn even the most docile creature into a savage predator. (chuckles) It’s terrifying!
Val: (Getting scared) It is?
Holly: Ah, don’t worry, Val. They’re safe at the gulch. The gulch is the one place where Disgruntle Weeds can be truly safe.
Val: Oh. Yeah.
Holly: After all, there were plenty of times you could have called it quits or somehow avoided the hard work that lay ahead. But not you. Not Val Thundershock.
Val: NO! We never made it to Grumble Gulch!
Poppy: Wha-? Val, of course we did.
Gust: Yeah, we all saw the sign.
Val: I made the sign!
Gust: Ha! You can’t just make a sign-
Val: No, I did! I was afraid I’d miss Rock-Troll-ber Fest, so I made it seem like we’d already reached out destination! And now we’ve gotta go back before something bad happens to the weeds!
Gust: But… we all saw the sign.
Val: Gah! Never mind! Hyah! (Her Saddle Spider starts to move and it heads back to the sign Val made.) Oh, no! Those Puffalo are preying on the weeds! (We see some Puffaloes getting ready to eat the Grumble Weeds.)
Grumble Weed #4: Oh, great. Now I’m being eaten.
Grumble Weed #7: Ugh. Mondays.
Val: Hey! Put them down! Hyah! (She takes out her lasso.) Wooooo-hooooo! (As she saves the Grumble Weeds, she sings Rectify.)
(Val)
My heart will always lead me to
To the right thing
It’s showing me the way
And I’m never gonna quit trying
Till I clean up my mistakes
Yeah, I vow to do
Whatever it might take
I’m gonna fix it up
I’m gonna make it right
And I will never stop
Until it’s rectified
I’m gonna rectify
I’m gonna rectify
Rectify! (She gives her Saddle Spider a fist bump.)
Grumble Weed #8: Oh, yay. My hero. (Poppy, Holly, and Gust catch up to Val.)
Poppy: Val! That was incredible.
Holly: Yeah, it was. But I don’t understand. You were on your way back to Rock-Troll-ber Fest, no questions asked. Why the sudden change of heart?
Val: Yeah, sorry about that. I guess I just realized, I don’t want you guys to respect me ‘cause you think I clean up my messes. I want you to respect me ‘cause I do clean up my messes.
Holly: Good for you, Val. Good for you. Well then, I suppose it’s time we finished this disgruntle drive. What do you say, Val?
Val: I say, “Yee-haw!” (Poppy, Holly, and Gust laugh as they start to follow her. Suddenly, the snake that ate Demo earlier pops out of the ground and spits him out.)
Demo: (gasps) I can still make Rock-Troll-ber Fest! (He crawls as the snake roars at him.)
