The following is a transcript for the episode "The Poppy Horror Picture Show".
== ==
(Poppy and her friends are having a campfire. Biggie is telling a scary story.)
Biggie: The ghost followed the Troll inside her home. She turned, heart in her throat. (Poppy gasps in fright.) Their eyes locked.
Smidge: (Grabbing onto Cooper’s neck) Aah!
Biggie: This was the end… of loneliness!
All: Aw!
Biggie: The two embraced, a hug for the ages, and lived happily ever after. (His friends clap and cheer.)
Guy Diamond: What a twist.
Branch: (Clapping slowly) Yeah, another ghost story where the ghost and the Troll fall in love. Shocker.
Poppy: Biggie, thrilling as always. Does anyone have a tale? Perhaps our special guest?
Bridget: Well, I do. But Troll scary stories are way different than Bergen ones.
Poppy: Tell it!
All: Tell it! Tell it!
Bridget: Well, OK. (As soon as she turns on a flashlight, the Trolls gasp.) It was a night just like this. Two teens wanted the time of their lives, and they got it. The guy said, “Hey, Janet. Thanks for coming with me to Hold Hands Point.” But Janet was all like, “Wait, Derrick. I hear something. What if it’s the Geygon monster?” (scoffs) “Janet, it’s just the wind. Now… shall we? Shah. (gasps, sighs) “Uh-huh.” “I feel so close to you. (screams) NO! (The Trolls hug each other in fear.)
Biggie: But Janet and Derrick, they were okay, right?
Bridget: Uh-huh. They were found the next day… IN PIECES! (The Trolls’ hair turn white and they scream. Biggie lies down and cowers while Smidge, Cooper, and Guy Diamond hide behind a rock.)
Troll #1: No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no! No, no! (Poppy and Branch’s hair turn back to normal.)
Poppy: Guys? Guys?
Bridget: Ah, I think they liked it. Watermelon? (She takes a bite. The next morning, Poppy and her friends have recovered from their fright. She is serving breakfast.)
Poppy: Ugh. I feel awful. But how was I to know Bridget’s scary story would be so… scary? I just hope this’ll help everyone relax.
Branch: Sure, the answer to all of life’s problem- cheese Danish.
Poppy: You know, Branch, your sarcasm really bugs me. (She eats a pastry.) But now I’m better! (She and Branch hear Chenille screaming and run to see what is wrong. Chenille is hiding behind a log.) Chenille, what’s wrong?
Chenille: The Greygon… it got Satin. (She picks up Satin and Poppy and Branch scream.)
Satin and Chenille: Got you! (They both laugh and Guy Diamond, Smidge, and Cooper come out.)
Guy Diamond: Got you, Branch! Got you, Poppy!
Poppy: (chuckling) Classic! Got to say, I was afraid you all would never get over last night.
Satin: Yeah, we’re all back to normal… except Biggie. He spent all night Greygon-proofing his pod. See? (Poppy turns around to see Biggie’s pod covered in thorns and wood. She then goes to it with Branch.)
Poppy: Look at all these defenses. Ugh. This is not good.
Branch: I know. These boards couldn’t stop a stiff breeze. (chuckles) Amateur hour. (He knocks on the board and Biggie yelps. He uses a drill to make a hole to peek out.)
Biggie: Hm. You look like Poppy. (He drills at the hole and sniffs.) And you smell like Poppy. How do I know you’re not the Greygon tricking me? Tell me things only the real Poppy would know, like my favorite thing, my middle name, and my secret password.
Poppy: Hugs, Hugs, and open sesame hugs. (Biggie opens the door and drags Poppy and Branch inside. Then he seals it up again.)
Biggie: Sorry. You can’t be too careful with a Greygon out and about. That’s why Mr. Dinkles and I are staying locked up in here until the day we die. (Mr. Dinkles appears in a hamster ball.)
Mr. Dinkles: Meep.
Biggie: You did to agree to this… while you were sleeping. (His clock rings and he screams.) Ha-ha-ha… Tea, anyone? (He pours some tea while his hand shakes.) Oh, I guess my nerves are still a little bit shaky. (He spills the tea.) I’ll pour you another cup.
Branch: (With his hair soaked with tea) You know what? I’m good.
Poppy: Biggie, seriously, come outside with me. You’re perfectly safe. (Branch breaks the board and Poppy follows him outside.)
Biggie: Hm. It does seem pretty calm. (He shrieks when a leaf blows by him and seals up his entrance once again.)
Poppy: It’s just the wind!
Biggie: That’s exactly what Janet and Derrick thought!
Poppy: Biggie, please, you got to come out!
Biggie: No, I don’t. (Poppy starts moping.)
Branch: Poppy, it’s OK. When push comes to shove, he’ll overcome his fear.
Biggie: No, I won’t.
Poppy: See, Branch? (sighs) I got to do something about this. (She runs off.)
Branch: When you’re ready to get serious about home security, here’s the info for my electrified-fence guy- me. (At his bunker, Poppy comes up with building tools.) What?! You said you needed to borrow a few things!
Poppy: That’s because I misled you! I’m building an exact replica of the Greygon monster to trick Biggie into getting over his fear. See? (She shows Branch a scrapbook of herself fighting the Greygon. Then she imitates Biggie.) I’m over my fear, thanks to you, Poppy. (She imitates Guy Diamond.) Brilliant strategy, Poppy. (She imitates Smidge.) Oh, my Guh!
Branch: What? How did this become the plan? And it’s more like… (He imitates Smidge.) Oh, my Guh.
Poppy: When I was a kid, I was afraid there was a monster in my closet. But instead of trying to prove it wasn’t real, my dad “fought” the monster and chased it off. After that, I slept like a baby. So, how do we get started, builder man?
Branch: First things first, we don’t do this at all. It’s a horrible idea! (He goes down the elevator into his bunker.)
Poppy: Oh, well. (sighs) Guess I’ll build it on my own then. Maybe frosting would work as glue. 3, 2…
Branch: Frosting? (He reappears.) A solvent-based adhesive?! You need polymers, Poppy. Polymers!
Poppy: Right, right. So like icing?
Branch: (grunting) Just- just let me do it. (He starts taking out the tools and chuckles.) Icing? Really? (We show a montage of Branch building the replica. After using fire, he eats some roasted marshmallows. Soon he puts some wood above the eyes.) Ha! Showed you. (Poppy is relaxing on a leaf and drinking.)
Poppy: You sure did! (Later, she goes to her friends.) All right, when the Greygon monster comes, just act scared. (Her friends scream.) Save some for the show. (Her friends run away and Poppy knocks on Biggie’s wood.)
Biggie: (shrieks) Just a second! (He uses his drill to make a hole again.) Hmm, how do you know-
Poppy: Hugs, Hugs, open sesame hugs. It’s me, Biggie. I just came to check in on you. (She feels a rumble.)
Satin: Oh, no! They Greygon monster! (She hugs Chenille.) It is real! (The replica appears.)
Chenille: This is terrifying!  (The replica roars and the Snack Pack screams.)
Smidge: (Jumping into Guy Diamond’s arms) Biggie was right, but none of us listened! Such folly! (She whimpers and we see that Branch is controlling the replica.)
Branch: I knew we should’ve had rehearsals. (He pulls some switches and the replica breaths fire.)
Guy Diamond: I’m running away! (Biggie opens his wood door.)
Biggie: Poppy, get in here!
Poppy: Don’t worry, Biggie. This Greygon is about to be Grey-gone.
Branch: Ugh. Puns? (Poppy cracks her knuckles and gets ready fight the replica. She jumps onto a Flyer Bug. The Winners plays as she fights the replica.)
(Female Chorus)
We are the winners
You’re just beginners
If you’re not with us…
You are against…
Poppy: Oh-oh, this ends now.
(Female Chorus)
Or ever top us…
Poppy: (As the replica attacks her) Whoa! Whoa!
Biggie: I can’t watch! (He covers his eyes.)
(Female chorus)
Until the end
We will defend
Na na na na
Na na na na na
We will defend, na na na na
Biggie: Oh, my.
(Female Chorus)
Na na na na
Na na na na na na
We will defend, hey, hey
Na na na na na na, until the end
Branch: Now this is how you use frosting.
(Female Chorus)
Until the end
We will defend (The replica finally falls over. Its roar alerts a creature in a cave. Biggie climbs to the ground.)
Biggie: You did it!
Poppy: He won’t be bothering you anymore. (Biggie’s hair goes back to normal and his clock rings. At his pod, he serves tea for Poppy and Branch.)
Biggie: Who’d like a spot of victory tea? (He does a trick with his pot and cup on his nose.)
Poppy: Hey, hey, looks like someone’s not shaking anymore!
Branch: (With his hair soaked with tea again) True, but he is still spilling tea everywhere.
Biggie: Ooh, now who’d like some victory soup?
Branch: Please don’t.
Biggie: Oh, right. (He puts the pot of soup down.) Anyway, to Poppy, for getting rid of the Greygon for good! (Branch and Poppy hear roaring and they go outside to investigate. They see an actual Greygon.)
Poppy: (gasps) An actual Greygon?! But they’re not real!
Branch: Uh, I don’t remember Bridget ever saying that.
Biggie: Another Greygon?! (The monster breaks a tree branch. The rest of the Snack Pack screams and runs away.) It’s even bigger than the first!
Branch: The bigger they are, the harder they fall… if you can get them to fall… which I can. (He throws the pot of soup at the monster, but it swipes him away.) Aah! (He lands in a spiderweb.)
Spider: You guys are gonna die.
Poppy: Run, run, run, run, run! (She and Biggie jump down the tree and hide in a cave. The Greygon puts its claws in the hole.)
Biggie: Poppy, please, just fight it off like you did before.
Poppy: Uh, yeah, funny thing about that. (chuckles) Branch and I staged the whole thing to get you over your fear.
Biggie: You what?!
Poppy: Clearly I didn’t do the best job. I’m sorry, Biggie. I thought I was helping you. But right now I need you to help me fight. We can use the Greygon suit! Come on!
Biggie: I can’t. I’m a hugger, not a fighter. (Poppy screams as the monster tears a hole through the top of the cave. Then it grabs Poppy.)
Poppy: NO!
Biggie: Poppy! (He looks at the replica and becomes brave.) I’m coming, Poppy.
Poppy: You want a piece of me?! Bring it on! (Just before the monster eats her, the replica gets up and gets ready to fight the Greygon.) Biggie?!
Biggie: Mr. Greygon, this is the end… of your loneliness. Commence flirtations whistling! (The replica starts dancing and wiggling. They Greygon purrs.) Initiate affirmative wink! (The replica winks and the monster smiles.)
Poppy: It’s working! Keep it up, Biggie! Woo-hoo! (The replica dances and the monster lets go of Poppy. She lands in the spiderweb with Branch.) Ugh!
Spider: Well, well, well, the plot thickens. (The replica breathes fire on the Greygon and it starts dancing along with it.)
Biggie: Now deploy hug for the ages! (The replica and the monster hug and he sheds a tear.) Doesn’t it feel good to be held? Ooh. (They Greygon picks up the replica and walks off with it. Biggie’s seat then sends him flying into the spiderweb.)
Poppy: Biggie, buddy boy, I’m proud of you. When push came to shove, you overcame your fear.
Biggie: I guess I did, didn’t I? All’s well that ends well. And this ended very well for that Greygon.
Spider: (With tears) Ah. I love happy endings. Don’t you? (Poppy and Branch are now wrapped in webs. The spider then rubs Branch.)
