Funtography Day/Transcript

The following is a transcript for the episode "Funtography Day".
== ==
(At the MeTroll Station, Poppy and Holly are making an announcement to the residents.)
Holly: Well, y’all, tomorrow the MeTroll System opens across TrollsTopia! (The residents cheer.)
Poppy: That’s right! And Branch recently pitched us an intriguing idea. (Soon, Branch shows up.)
Branch: It’s a state-of-the-art security system. (The camera zooms out to reveal a security system.)
Poppy and Holly: Ooh! 
Branch: Wherein every Troll scans photo ID badge as they board, allowing us to track who’s riding the train at all times. (He takes out his ID and the security system scans it. It sticks out a tongue, Branch jumps on it, and the tongue takes him inside and takes his X-ray. It then lets him out.) Thoughts? 
Poppy: (Putting her arms in the air) We love it, Branch! But can you take out all the stuff about security, scanning, and tracking?
Branch: What? But then it’s nothing but a flimsy excuse to wear fun badges. (Poppy and Holly close their eyes and put their hands in the air.)
Holly: Hooray!
Poppy: Yaaaay! 
Both: Whoooooo!
Poppy: Yeah! All right!
Holly: Woo-hoo-hoo! (An annoyed Branch groans. Later, Poppy makes another announcement.)
Poppy: So tomorrow, you’ll all receive your Photo Fun Badge! (She shows her badge.)
Holly: And of course, new Fun Badge means new photos, so start practicin’ them poses, y’all, ‘cause tomorrow is Picture Day! (All the Trolls cheer.)
Minuet: NOOOOOOOOO!!!
All: Huh?
Minuet: Guh! (She flies off.)
Poppy: Uh… (Meanwhile, Minuet is angrily playing her violin quickly.) Uh, Minuet, you OK? You’re uh… going at that violin pretty hard.
Minuet: What? (She laughs and goes back to playing.) I have no idea what you mean. (She plays harder until her violin breaks.) Oh, who am I kidding?! It’s the infernal Picture Day! GUH!
Holly: Wait. Picture Day is what’s got ya all worked up? But why?
Minuet: Because for my entire life, I have never been able to take a good picture. Ever!
Holly: (chuckles) Oh, come on. That can’t be true.
Poppy: Yeah, Minuet. You’re adorab- (Minuet shows her and Holly her pictures.) Oh! (We see crazy pictures of Minuet.)
Both: Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! (Minuet slams her picture book shut.)
Minuet: You see?! I am a first cheer violinist, I speak 17 languages, at age 2, I could already do this! (She shows her shaking finger between her hands.)
Holly: Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho!
Poppy: Ooh!
Minuet: I have mastered any skill I put my mind to, but when it comes to posing for a picture, I am helpless! (She lands on the ground and sighs. Poppy comes over to comfort her.)
Poppy: Aw, Minuet. Listen, who’s to say whether a photo is good or bad? But you are awesome either way, so who cares, right?
Minuet: Hm. Yes, you’re right, Poppy. Who cares if I can’t do this one thing. This one simple thing, so simple, in fact, that young children can do it, but I can’t! That’s fine with me! (She grunts, takes out her violin, and takes out two more violins and cymbals from her hair.)
Poppy: I think we’re gonna need some help from an expert. (She, Holly, and Minuet go to Guy Diamond’s pod.)
Guy Diamond: So, Poppy tells me you’ve never taken a good picture. Well, I have never taken a bad one. As you’ll see when you step into my gallery. Or as I call it… (He reveals his gallery to Poppy, Holly, and Minuet.) my Guy-llery. (The camera zooms out to reveal his gallery.)
Poppy, Holly, and Minuet: Ooh! 
Minuet: How do you do it, Guy? Where did you acquire such talent? 
Guy Diamond: (laughs) Well, while it is true that I am very talented… (He does a pose.)
Poppy: Guy.
Guy Diamond: Sorry. Where was I? Oh, right, I was saying that I never take a picture without a little help. (He shows a picture of himself with his hair blowing in the wind.) In this one, a large fan gave my hair that windblown look.
Poppy, Holly, and Minuet: Ooh!
Guy Diamond: (Showing another picture) And to get this shine, I had my glitter waxed for three days.
Poppy, Holly, and Minuet: Ah.
Minuet: O-M-B-Flat-Minor! What about that one?! (She shows a huge picture of Guy Diamond.) 
Guy Diamond: Ah, yes. Actually, this one got the most help of all. It was taken during a very special time when the light is absolutely ideal.
Holly: Golden hour?
Guy Diamond: No, no. Golden second. (Poppy, Minuet, and Holly gasp in amazement.)
Holly: Oh, my!
Guy Diamond: Yes, golden second. A rare and fleeting moment when the cosmos aligns, wraps you in its unknowable wonder and whispers… “Say cheese.”
Minuet: Oh!
Guy Diamond: Of course, no-one can predict when a golden second will happen.
Minuet: Even so, I had no idea there were so many ways to improve the quality of a photograph. Guy, will you help me on Picture Day?
Guy Diamond: I would be honored to be your guide. (He takes a bow.) Or as I call it, your Guyde. (The next day, the Trolls are getting their pictures taken. After a blue female Pop Troll gets her picture taken, Minuet is next.)
Photographer: Ready and-
Minuet: Hold, please! My crew needs some time to make some adjustments.
Photographer: Your crew? (The camera zooms out and reveals Poppy, Holly, Guy, and Tiny Diamond.)
Holly: Woo-hoo!
Poppy, Guy, and Tiny Diamond: Yee-haw!
Minuet: All right, team! Let’s work it! (As we show a montage of her getting many pictures taken, she, Poppy, and Guy Diamond sing Pose.)
(Minuet)
Pose on fire
Fire
Looking fine
Work 
Confidence on lock
Don’t stop now 
Go on, shine
(Minuet and Poppy)
We light it up
We set the flash to strobe 
And then I let it go 
(Guy Diamond)
Go to the left to the right 
Now pose 
Shine like the star you know you are
(Minuet and Poppy)
I’m gonna find my pose
(Guy Diamond) 
Work that camera
So much glamour 
Go to the left to the right 
Now pose
(Minuet and Poppy)
I’m gonna find my pose (At the end of the song, Minuet finds a picture of herself with a crazy face.)
Minuet: Aah! Not one good picture?! (She lays down on a pile of pictures.) It’s useless! No matter how much we add, I will never take a decent photograph! (Suddenly, the wind starts to blow.)
Poppy, Guy Diamond, and Holly: Huh? (The sky turns orange.)
Poppy: What… what’s happening?
Guy Diamond: (gasps) Minuet, take your position. Golden second is upon us. (Minuet gasps and sits on a stool. We go to outer space and a light shines on Minuet.) Hold. Hold. (The light reaches Minuet.) Say cheese. (The photographer takes a picture of Minuet. Poppy and Holly gasp nervously. Guy Diamond takes the picture and sees Minuet with a cute face.) We got it.
Minuet: (gasps) At last. I’ve conquered the one skill I could never master! I must take a closer look! (She gets off the stool, causing it to fall and go through the background.) Huh? (The rest of the cameras fall over along with the fan. Mr. Dinkles lands on the button and all the pictures fly away.) GRAB THAT PICTURE! (The Trolls run around to catch the pictures. Tiny Diamond manages to grab one.)
Tiny Diamond: Never fear, winged Troll lady! Tiny Diamond’s got that good photo! Oh. Wow. No. Tiny Diamond did not!
Demo: I got it! I got it!
Gust: I got it! I got it!
Both: I got it! (They bump into each other, causing a picture to go back up into the air. Gust gets up and runs around Demo.)
Gust: Still got it! Still got it! Still got it! Still got it! Still got it! Still got it! (Minuet is looking around for her picture.) 
Minuet: There! (She sees her picture on the train tracks. She tries to pull it out, but it is difficult. Poppy, Holly, and Guy Diamond see that the MeTroll is heading toward her. They run to save her.)
Poppy: Minuet!
Guy Diamond: Back away!
Holly: Get off the tracks! (Minuet doesn’t listen. The train gets closer.)
Minuet: IT’S STUCK! (She screams in anger.)
Poppy: Please, Minuet! It’s not worth it! You’ve gotta get outta the way of that train!
Minuet: Train?! Oh, my! (Just before the train hits her, she dodges. Crumbs of her picture is seen.) What? What am I doing?
Poppy: Minuet, are you OK?
Minuet: Am I OK? Am I OK?! Poppy, I nearly let myself be steam rolled by a locomotive, all for a 4X3 glossy! Does that behavior sound OK to you?!
Poppy: Uh… I mean, I guess not?
Minuet: Well, I certainly hope you guess not. This madness needs to stop right now. Here. (She picks up one of the pictures.) This one. This will be my train badge photo. Let’s be done with it.
Holly: What?
Guy Diamond: Really?
Holly: Just like that?
Minuet: Yes. Because you know what? I am a first chair violinist. I speak 17 languages. And I can do this! (She wiggles her finger between her hands.)
Holly: Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho!
Poppy: Ooh!
Minuet: As you said before, good photo or bad, I am awesome either way.
Holly: Well, hot dang! You go, girl!
Minuet: That said… (She takes her photo from Poppy.) … that won’t be easy being the only Troll to ride the train with a bad photo.
Guy Diamond: You know, Minuet, maybe riding the train won’t be as hard as you think. (Later, minuet is about to get her photo taken again.)
Photographer: A bit more. A bit more. There?
Guy Diamond: Looks good to me. Minuet?
Minuet: (giggles) It’s perfect. (Smidge is next. An orange female Pop Troll puts brownie crumbs in her mouth and her hair is messy. Val is next.)
Photographer: Step forward. (Val opens her mouth and sticks out her tongue. Branch is next.) Step forward. (Branch makes a cute face while holding both sides of his hair. Guy Diamond is next.) Step forward. (Guy Diamond picks his nose.)
Minuet: Thank you, friends. Now, group shot, everyone! Say cheese! (All the Trolls gather around.)
All: Cheese! (Their picture is taken and the episode ends.)
