PoppyI'm sorry. I should have listened to you. You told me not to throw the party, and I threw it anyway. And it's my fault they were taken, and now I don't know what to do.
BranchWhy don't you try scrapbooking them to freedom?
BranchYou don't know anything, Poppy, and I can't wait to see the look on your face when you realize you realize the world isn't all cupcakes and rainbows, cause it isn't.
PoppyHey, I know it's not all cupcakes and rainbows, but I'd rather go through life thinking that it mostly is instead of being like you. You don't sing. You don't dance. So gray all the time. What happened to you?
BranchMy name is Branch and I am a troll. Why do I live in a heavily fortified survival bunker? Because right outside my door lurks a nightmare named Poppy. Poppy is the leader of the trolls, and it's not her fault she's so insanely happy. She's just never faced a real problem until now.

PoppyOh, that's great. You're the one guy who knows more about Bergens than anyone... but, when we finally need you, you just want to hide here forever?
[Branch pulls a lever that leads them down to an even bigger bunker]
BranchYeah, I really only have enough supplies down here to last me 10 years, 11 if I'm willing to store and drink my own sweat, which I am. You all said I was crazy, huh? Well, who's crazy now? Me, crazy prepared!

Branch[to Poppy]When you're all in trouble, and the survival of every Troll is in your hands, I sure hope the answer is singing, dancing and hugging, 'cause that's all you can ever do.
King PeppyHere, right here, is where we will rebuild our civilization! It has everything we need: fresh air, clean water... and sweet acoustics!

Bridget[to King Gristle at dinner - being directed by Branch]Your eyes!... They're like, two pools, so deep, I fear, if I dive in, I might never come up for air... And your smile, the sun itself turns jealous and refuses to come out from behind the clouds, knowing, it cannot shine half as bright.
Chef[furiously]Don't listen to her! There's only one way to be happy. My way! With me in charge, I'll serve you Troll every day of the year. With me as queen, all of life will be a never-ending feast of happiness!

Poppy[narrating]Once upon a time in a happy forest in the happiest tree lived the happiest creatures the world has ever known. The Trolls.
[two Trolls speak gibberish]
PoppyThey loved nothing more than to sing, and dance, and hug. Dance, and hug, and sing, and dance, and sing, and hug, and dance,
[speeds up]
Poppyand hug, and dance, and sing, and hug, and dance, and hug.
[Poppy sped up so fast that one of the trolls cries and faints]
PoppyBut then one day, the Trolls were discovered by a Bergen!
PoppyEating a Troll made them feel so happy, they started a tradition. Once a year, every year, the Bergens would gather around the Troll Tree to taste happiness on a holiday they called Trollstice.

Poppy[to Bergens]Happiness isn't something you put inside. It's already there. Sometimes you just, need someone to help you find it.

PoppyAlright! Let's do this! Sooner we get to Bergen Town, sooner we can rescue everybody and make it home safely.
King Gristle[Chef jumps out dramatically from behind indoor plant and walks toward the throne]Chef, Where did you come from? My father *banished* you twenty years ago! Have you been standing behind that plant this whole time?
BranchYou don't know anything, Poppy, and I can't wait to see the look on your face when you realize you realize the world isn't all cupcakes and rainbows, cause it isn't.

Bridget[at dinner disguised as Lady Glittersparkles]I can't believe I'm about to say this...
Biggie[observing from inside her rainbow wig]Guys, she's going rogue!
Bridget...but, being here with you today, makes me realize that, true happiness is possible.
King GristleIt is. True happiness, is a lot closer than you think... It's right here.
