TrollsTopia (episode)/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "TrollsTopia".
== ==
(The book opens up to explain about the Trolls making friends.)
Poppy: By nature, Trolls are determined to make friends wherever they go. Maybe too determined. So when I learned that there were all sorts of new Trolls out there, it was like there were… friends everywhere! Oh, wait. I’ve gone ahead of myself. Let me back it up. Recently, my people discovered we aren’t the only Trolls. We’re just the Pop Trolls. One of many separate tribes scattered throughout the world. There’s the Country Western Tribe, Classical, Funk, Techno, and Hard Rock. Actually, we weren’t always separate. You know what, let me back up even more. 14 billion years ago, when the cosmos was still new…
Smidge: Uh, Poppy? I think you’ve gone too far back. (It is revealed that Poppy is telling the history to the Snack Pack.)
Poppy: Oh, you’re right. (sighs) What I’m trying to say is that it’s been weeks since we found out about the other Tribes, you guys. But we’re no better friends with them now than we were then. (The Snack Pack talks in confusion.) I mean, I don’t want to get hysterical here, but it’s starting to feel like they are… acquaintances. (The Snack Pack screams.)
Biggie: Mr. Dinkles, I don’t ever want you ever using that word!
DJ Suki: Poppy, we all want to be better friends with the Tribes, but they live so far away. What can we do?
Poppy: I’ll tell you what, DJ. Think you can convince them to move to Troll Village? To live with us!
The Snack Pack: Ooh!
Poppy: Just close your eyes and imagine. (She covers Smidge’s eyes.) Hundreds of Trolls from each Tribe living in harmony. (She covers Satin and Chenille’s eyes next.) Forming a new Troll city that celebrates the first city of our cultures.
Chenille: Yes! We’re all there! Satin’s outfit is hideous.
Satin: Hey! (Poppy covers Biggie’s eyes next.)
Poppy: A beacon love and friendship for everyone!
Biggie: I’m flying, Mr. Dinkles! (laughs) I’m flying! (Poppy uncovers his eyes.)
Poppy: All of us together different, but unified. Like… like…
Satin: Like mini garments forming one fashion line?!
Smidge: (Holding a weight) Like many weights forming one dumbbell?!
Guy Diamond: Like many glitters forming one glorious glitter fart! (He does a glitter fart.)
Poppy: Good suggestions. I’ll keep working on it. But I do know this: We’ll call it… TrollsTopia. Eh?
The Snack Pack: Ooh!
Guy Diamond: Speaking as a parent, count me in! I’d love to expose Tiny Diamond to new cultures. He absorbs foreign concepts easily at the stage of development. (Tiny Diamond appears in his hair.)
Tiny Diamond: Yeah, Daddy! My brain is a sponge for real! (He blows two air horns and goes back inside his father’s hair.)
Smidge: We all love the idea, Poppy! It’s a stroke of genius! (She and the rest of the Snack Pack cheer.)
Poppy: Thank you, guys! Wow, overwhelming support without a single voice of dissent. Why does that not feel right? Wait. We’re missing someone. (She and the Snack Pack go over to Branch’s bunker.)
Branch: (sarcastic) Oh, yeah. TrollsTopia. That’s a great idea. (The Snack Pack groans.)
Poppy: Voice of dissent, check.
Branch: Sorry, guys, but let’s be realistic here. You’re asking big groups of Trolls to move away from their homes to live with a bunch of strangers. I just don’t know how many Trolls who will sign up for that.
Poppy: Gee. I guess I didn’t think about it that way. (The Snack Pack groans again.)
DJ Suki: Oh, man.
Poppy: Oh, wait! Yes, I did! And I already have a solution!
The Snack Pack: Oh!
Smidge: That’s called a misdirect, boy! (Branch grunts.)
Poppy: We’re sending out these cards inviting an ambassador from each Troll Tribe to visit. Then after we’ve shown them incredibly how fun life here can be, we pitch them TrollsTopia!
The Snack Pack: Ooh!
Poppy: It’s like when you go to a cupcake shop and they give you a sample. (She takes out a cupcake.) And it tastes so good, you want to move into that shop and eat cupcakes every day! (She eats the cupcake.)
Smidge: I see. Showing the ambassadors our super fun time is giving them a cupcake so they’ll want to move into TrollsTopia and bring all their friends with them!
Cooper: (gasps) Metaphor! (He and his friends cheer.)
Poppy: It’s settled, then. Tell the whole village we have guests coming. (She gives the cards to Delivery Bugs.) It’s time to get ready! (She jumps onto a delivery bug and sings Come Together.)
(Poppy)
Everybody get ready
It’s finally the day we been waitin’ for
Everybody is coming
Let’s show them the best version of our world
A little extra spice to make it nice
And one of their songs on the stereo
It’ll let them know
That it can feel like home
Only better!
So raise your hair up all the way
It’s a special day
Yeah, let’s celebrate
Biggie: MR. DINKLES!!!
(Poppy)
Let’s all come together for the first time ever
So much magic in the air
Let’s all raise our voices
Join in on the chorus
Sing it loud without a care
Come on! (Soon, the welcome party is ready. The Pop Trolls cheer while Poppy and her friends are on the stage.)
Poppy: This is it, Trolls! If we show them a good time, there’s no way they’ll say no to TrollsTopia!
Branch: (sarcastic) Woo-hoo. TrollsTopia. Yay.
Poppy: Voice of dissent, double check. Welcome positions! (The Pop Trolls go to their welcome positions. Poppy then hears galloping.) Oh! That gallop sounds like our Country Western ambassador. (We show the hooves of Holly Darlin’.) Their songs will make you get up and yee-haw! (Holly jumps into the air.)
Holly: Howdy, y’all!
Poppy: Whoa! (Holly lands on the stage.)
Branch: Oh!
Poppy: Welcome! I’m Poppy, and according to your RSVP, I’m guessing you’re-
Holly: Holly Darlin’ from the Country Western Tribe. Queen Poppy, it is such a pleasure! I’ve never met a real life queen before on account of my Tribe being less of a monarchy and more of an oligarchy, but… (laughs) … to each his own. (She turns to Branch.) Say, you’re cute!
Branch: Uh… (Holly goes back to Poppy and takes out a camera.)
Holly: Selfie! (She takes a picture of herself and Poppy.) That’s a good one. I’ll send you a copy. Let’s party, y’all! Wooooo-hooooo!
Poppy: Well, nice to meet you, too. (The ground shakes.) Whoa!
All: Ooh!
Poppy: You guys feel that bass?! I’d say the Techno ambassador’s about to drop a beat! (A water spout comes out of the ground and reveals a Techno Troll named Synth.)
Synth: Hey, yo! What up, Trolls?! (The Snack Pack watches in amazement. (Synth lands on the stage with the help of jellyfish.)
Poppy: You must be Synth.
Synth: And you must be Poppy! It is so meh meh meh meh meh meh to meet you! Allow me to say hello the Techno way, with a Rave Wave! (He moves his head to the beat of the music.)
Poppy: (giggles) I love this! (She joins in with Synth.) Does it ever stop?
Synth: (laughs) Sometimes! Now let’s party!
Poppy: OK, you’re delightful. (She hears classical music and gasps.) What an elegant, heavenly sound. It can only be the delegate from the Classical Tribe! (Some music notes land a flower on the stage. It opens and reveals Dante Crescendo, the ambassador of the Classical Trolls.)
Dante: Greetings! Dante Crescendo, royal composer. Please, accept this anthem as a commemoration of our greeting. (Some music plays and the music notes vocalize. Guy Diamond then farts glitter in the shape of a music note.) No! You’re flat. (Guy Diamond farts more glitter music notes.) Better. (The crowd cheers.)
Guy Diamond: Yes!
Poppy: A true masterpiece. Hm. I don’t see the ambassador from the Funk Tribe.
Cooper: Oh, don’t worry about that, Poppy. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the Tribe of my birth… (We hear funk music and Poppy gasps. A spaceship floats above the crowd.) … it’s that they know how to make an entrance. (Lownote Jones, the ambassador of the Funk Trolls appears from the spaceship.)
Poppy: Are you Lownote Jones?!
Lownote: (chuckles) You got that right, baby.
All: Whoa!
Smidge: Your voice. How do you make everything sound so cool?
Lownote: It’s ‘cause I have long vocal cords, which are folds of membranous tissues protruding from the larynx to form a slit across the glottis of my throat.
Smidge: OK, all those words were really gross, but they sounded so cool.
Guy Diamond, Biggie, Satin, and Chenille: Yeah. (Lownote walks over to Cooper.)
Lownote: (laughs) Cooper.
Cooper: Lownote. (He and Lownote fist bump and mimic and explosion.)
Poppy: So, that just leaves the ambassador from the home of our good friend, Queen Barb, the Hard Rock Tribe! And her name is… (A bolt of lightning strikes the ground. Some fire appears, revealing Val Thundershock.)
Val: VAL THUNDERSHOCK! WHOO!
Poppy: Well, hi, Val. Welcome. I am so glad you came.
Val: Wait, wait, wait. Glad I came? Why wouldn’t I come? Rocker Trolls don’t follow through on their commitments?
Poppy: What? No, not at all. I absolutely expected you to be here.
Val: Oh! (chuckles) Expected me to be here? So when Queen Poppy sends a Rocker Troll an invitation, they’re just supposed to drop everything and come running? Is that it?
Poppy: What?! No, no! That… I mean, I… I…
Val: Just messing with ya, Popsqueak. (laughs)
Poppy: Oh! (laughs)
Val: Or am I?
Poppy: Ah!
Val: I am… (Poppy lets out a nervous chuckle.) … not messing with you.
Poppy: What?
Val: (laughs) Man, I rock so hard!
Poppy: But I don’t…
Branch: (chuckles) That was excruciating. I’ve never seen someone throw off your positivity like that!
Poppy: Uh, I don’t…
Branch: I like her.
Smidge: Well, everyone’s here. What now?
Poppy: (Shaking her head) Now, we show these Trolls the time of their lives. Let’s give them the cupcake.
Cooper: (gasps) Metaphor! (Later, Poppy and her friends are in waiter outfits. There is a table of food for the Troll Tribes.)
Poppy: To begin, we serve a 39 course ice cream banquet! For Dante, classic vanilla.
Dante: Ooh! (Poppy goes over to Val.)
Poppy: For Val, dark, dark, dark chocolate. (She goes over to Holly.) And for Holly Darlin’ a Country Western specialty, ice cream jerky.
Holly: Ah! My favorite! Chocolate, vanilla, and mesquit barbeque. (She takes a bite out of her ice cream jerky.) Woo-hoo! (Suddenly, glitter floats down from the air.)
Lownote: What?
Synth: Yo, what is this? Is this glitter?! It’s glitter!
Dante: Wonderful! Glitter simply falls from the sky here?!
Poppy: Huh… What other explanation can there be? (The camera moves up to see Guy Diamond and some Glitter Trolls are farting glitter.)
Guy Diamond, Tiny Diamond, and the Glitter Trolls: For TrollsTopia! (They fart more Glitter.)
Poppy: (Jumping in the air) Whoo! (She starts singing A Good Time.)
(Poppy)
Are you ready for a good time?
‘Cause that’s how we like to roll
Yeah, we always find a reason to celebrate
(Holly)
Was born ready for a good time
And I’m already havin’ a ball
I like the feelin’ of this place (Holly passes the microphone to Synth.)
(Synth) (Synth catches the microphone.)
Yeah, yeah all my people came ready for a party
Yeah we rave till the morning comes
We can show you how we do when we come through
How we movin’ to the rhythm (Synth passes the microphone to Dante.)
(Dante) (Dante catches the microphone.)
Oh, I didn’t know that life
Could ever be this fu-uh-uh-uh-uh-un (Dante passes the microphone to Lownote.)
(Lownote) (Lownote catches the microphone.)
Jubilation in the air
Raise your hair
Wave it left wave it right
Can you dig, outta sight
Oh, yeah
(All)
When we’re together
We find perfect harmony
Magical everything
Here we go to the sky
You and I will find a good time
It’s guaranteed
You, me, everybody
Magical everything
Here we go to the sky
You and I will find a good time (The Glitter Trolls fart more glitter. Soon, the ground is covered in glitter. Synth is laughing while sliding on it. Dante is throwing balls of glitter.)
Dante: How marvelous! (Holly is skating on the glitter.)
Holly: Yee-haw! (Lownote has made himself out of glitter.)
Lownote: Looking good, Lownote.
Glitter Lownote: Oh. Back at you, Lownote.
Smidge: Think we’ve given them the cupcake now, Poppy?
Poppy: Yes, Smidge. This is the perfect time to pitch them TrollsTopia. (She slides down the glitter hill and clears her throat.) Excuse me! Excuse me, friends! There’s something that I would like to talk to you about if you don’t mind. Looks to me like you guys are having a lot of fun.
Lownote: You got that right, baby.
Dante: Indeed!
Synth: Mind-blowing!
Holly: Woo-hoo!
Val: (Standing by a little hill of glitter) Meh.
Poppy: (gasps) Val, what did you say?!
Val: I said… (She takes out her guitar and plays it loudly.) … MEEEEEEEEEEH!
Poppy: But why… “meh?” What about the ice cream and the sky glitter? Didn’t you enjoy that?
Val: I guess. In my Tribe, real fun is about being reckless and breaking rules. Nothing about this place rocks. Anyway, I’m bored. I’m gonna go crash. There will be no encore! (She moves some glitter out of the way and leaves.)
Voice: No encore!
Val: No, Val! Wait! (She groans and kneels down.)
Biggie: I… I don’t understand. So, we didn’t give Val the cupcake?
Poppy: No, we did. (sighs) I just forgot some Trolls prefer brownies.
DJ Suki: But, Poppy, the other ambassadors. Are you still gonna tell them about TrollsTopia?
Poppy: Not without the Hard Rock Trolls. The whole point of TrollsTopia is to bring all the Tribes together.
Branch: (sarcastic) Aw. TrollsTopia’s not working?! But I was such a big fan! (Smidge punches him with her hair.) Aah!
Smidge: Not now, Branch.
Poppy: There’s only one thing to do, guys. (She puts her book down. If Val says we’ve gotta rock to show her a good time, then, by all that’s Trolly we’re gonna rock. (That night, she, Smidge, and Biggie sneak into the mushroom pod where the ambassadors are asleep. They rush over to Val sleeping on a couch and pick it up. They carry it onto a stage with sound speakers. Soon, Poppy and her friends are dressed in rock attire. Poppy plays a guitar that makes a sound wave and wakes Val up.)
Val: Huh? What… what was that?!
Poppy: Sorry about the volume, Val. Guess we’re just being… (She plays her guitar again.) … reckless.
Val: So what, your glitter puffs want me to think you’re rockers now?
Poppy: Oh, we’ll surprise you. Sure, during the day, we might play it cute and sweet.
Guy Diamond: Yeah! Some might even say we’re as cute as a newborn puppy opening its eyes for the first time. (chuckles)
Poppy: That’s too much, Guy. Dial it back.
Guy Diamond: Message received. (laughs)
Poppy: Point is, when the sun goes down, the rebel in us cuts loose. (She plays her guitar loudly once more.)
Val: Really? You guys like being wild and breaking rules?
Cooper: You got that right! That’s why I ignore the rules on most card games. Oh, I will Go Fish whenever I want!
All: Yeah! Woo-hoo!
Val: All right, Popsqueak, if you rock so hard, let’s see you keep up with this. (She takes out her guitar and plays it. She and Poppy then sing Pandemonium.)
(Val)
Yeah, I came to rock
I got the fire
Ragin’ inside me and it’s burnin’ strong
(Poppy)
Ow! I never stop
I’m a live wire
Yeah, I can rock until the morning comes, ow!
(Val)
I live for the pandemonium
Loud, rough, raw
(Poppy)
I’m not just sweet and harmonious
I rock hard! (She and Val’s guitars make lightening appear. Smidge plays the drums. Satin and Chenille play the accordion. Biggie and Mr. Dinkles play the keyboard. DJ Suki dee-jays the music. Cooper plays the cowbell. Guy and Tiny Diamond play more electric guitars. Soon, Val smashes her guitar while Poppy smashes the sound speakers. The rest of the Snack Pack then smash their instruments. Poppy sees that Satin and Chenille are cutting down a tree.)
Poppy: Whoa. No, no. This is too much! Guys! (Her friends ignore her. Wait, guys! No! (Satin and Chenille cut down the tree and it destroys the mushroom pod.) Oh, no! The ambassadors! (Holly, Synth, Dante, and Lownote wake up and see the wreckage.)
Synth: What’s going on out there?
Holly: Oh, my goodness. I can’t even believe. (Poppy and the Snack Pack sigh in relief.) Y’all? What is goin’ on, y’all?!
Poppy: I am so sorry. Things just got a little out of hand. But I swear, we’re not really that aggressive. We were just pretending to be rockers and-
Val: Pretending? I knew it. This was just a big show to fake me out.
Poppy: No, Val, that’s not true. I mean, yes, we’ve been trying to make a good impression, but I wouldn’t call it “putting on a show.”
Cooper: Yeah, we call it “giving you a cupcake,” and we’re doing it to everybody!
Dante: Everybody? (He and the other ambassadors gasp.)
Poppy: No, no, that’s not it. I mean, yes, we call it that, but-
Val: Whatever, I’m packing my bags, man. Val is out! (She jumps behind a rock.)
Voice: Later!
Dante: Yes. It appears it’s time we all packed our bags. (He leaves with the others.)
Holly: Uh-huh.
Poppy: But… (She sighs sadly. The next day, the ambassadors are getting ready to go home. Poppy is sitting sadly and watching. Branch comes over to comfort her.) Well, go ahead and say it, Branch. You were right. TrollsTopia was a terrible idea.
Branch: Wait. What do you mean?
Poppy: What do you mean, “What do you mean?”
Branch: I never said TrollsTopia was a terrible idea. Weren’t you listening to me. (We go to his sarcastic flashbacks.)
Past: Branch: (sarcastic) Oh, yeah. TrollsTopia. That’s a great idea. Woo-hoo. TrollsTopia. Yay. Aw. TrollsTopia’s not working?! But I was such a big fan! (We go back to the present.)
Poppy: What? Branch! That all sounded all completely sarcastic!
Branch: Really? Geez, I gotta work on that. (Poppy groans and covers her head.) Poppy, I think TrollsTopia is an amazing idea. Maybe your best idea. And that’s saying something. I never wanted you to give up on it. I just wanted you to be realistic about how challenging it would be. And that’s OK. If the idea is good enough, it’s worth rising to the challenge.
Poppy: Thanks, Branch. I needed to hear that. And maybe everybody else does, too. (She gets up, takes a deep breath, and walks to the ambassadors.) Excuse me, everyone. Look, this feels like the worst possible timing, but there’s something I wanna say. (The ambassadors put their bags down and Poppy takes out her book.) Just close your eyes and imagine. Hundreds of Trolls from each Tribe, living in… All of us together. Different but unified. Forming a new Troll city, that celebrates one another’s cultures, as a tribute to all of Troll-kind. And we’ll call it TrollsTopia.
Synth: Hm.
Holly: OK.
Poppy: I know it’s a lot. I mean, we have a long history of seeing things differently. And, to be honest, there are things that you all say and do that I don’t get.
Val: Don’t get? Oh, I see. So just ‘cause I’m a Rock Troll I’m hard to understand.
Poppy: Actually, yeah, Val. To me you are.
Val: Oh. OK. Rock on.
Poppy: The point is that coming together would be challenging. But if you ask me, it’s totally worth it because it also gives us a chance to become friends to learn from each other and grow into one Troll nation, different but unified, like, uh… like…
Val: Like many notes making one beautiful chord.
Poppy: Yes! That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to say.
Val: Don’t get used to it.
Poppy: OK. What about the rest of you? What do you say?
Holly: Well, Poppy, you’re suggestin’ we go back and tell our friends to leave their homes and to move here. I gotta say, that’s a lot to ask.
Synth: Mm-hm.
Lownote: That’s what I was thinking.
Dante: Mm-hm.
Poppy: Yeah. Yeah, I get that. And I fully respect your decision.
Holly: Then again… Dang, y’all, we sure do make some great music together!
Lownote: You got that right, baby. Let’s do it!
Synth: Tech yeah!
Holly: Woo-hoo! (Poppy gasps happily and she sings A Good Time again.)
(Poppy)
Are you ready for a good time?
‘Cause that’s how we like to roll
Yeah, we always find a way to celebrate (Synth is seen using glowsticks with Biggie.)
Synth: Yeah, yo!
Biggie: Uh-huh. (Poppy and the rest of her friends cheer. Soon, she watches the Trolls from each Tribe coming.)
Poppy: Get ready, everyone! They’re coming! Dozens of Trolls from every Tribe! (It is revealed that she, Biggie, Guy Diamond, DJ Suki, Satin, and Chenille are on Smidge’s hair and it lowers them.) Woo-hoo! (The crowd of Trolls cheer.) Whoo! Branch! We’re about to meet all of the new citizens of TrollsTopia! I can’t wait!
Branch: (sarcastic) Oh, yeah. I can’t wait either.
Poppy: Branch.
Branch: No, no, really. (The camera zooms out to reveal the other Tribes arriving.)
Poppy: Branch, just stop.
Branch: Seriously.
Poppy: Branch!
