* You could do it solo *
* But then you'd be All by yourself *
* Yo! So it'd be more fun To share this one *
* With someone else *
* Together we will soar Across the sky and beyond *
* So turn up your voice *
* Stand up and sing along *
* All different voices *
* Everybody now! *
* Our melodies ringing *
* We're livin' in harmony *
* Yeah We're livin' in harmony *
* Our song is much stronger With every Troll singing *
* We're livin' in harmony **

(Poppy) Isn't this great, Holly?
Now that the library has a section for each tribe,
TrollsTopians can read scrapbooks
from every Troll culture!
Oh, look! Synth is reading one of the Funk Tribe's
sci-fi scrapbooks!
(Synth) Ah!
Yo. I now know all math, yo.
(Holly) Aw, well look at you, Biggie,
takin' an interest in my culture.
Whatcha readin'?
(Biggie) Troll my goodness,
it is called The Farmer and the Hound
and, Holly, it is riveting!
(Holly) Don't I know it!
The Farmer and the Hound is the most beloved
Country Western scrapbook of all time.
Shoot, Gust Tumbleweed has a book club
that's discussed it every week for the last ten years!
(Country Troll) Gee, fellers, it's been ten years.
Don't any of ya'll wanna talk about a different book?
(grunt)
(Country Troll) Yep, me neither!
(all) Yee-haw!
(Biggie) Oh, you have to give it a read, Poppy.
It's about a kindly old farmer who spends his life
working the fields with his loyal cuddlepup hound--
Page turn...
But one day, during a terrible hair-icane,
the hound gets lost--
Page turn!
So, the farmer sets out
on a fantastic adventure to find her!
Ugh, I can't wait to see where it goes.
I've got to check it out right now!
Bookmark!
(laugh)
(Poppy) Well, isn't that just exactly
what TrollsTopia is all abo--
(Holly) We cannot let Biggie finish that scrapbook!
(Poppy) What?
Wait, wha--
Why can't we let Biggie finish the story?
(Holly) Because it just so happens to be
the saddest scrapbook ever!
(Poppy) I-- I don't understand...
(Holly) In the same way
the Country Tribe's got sad songs,
we've got sad books too!
And how do you think our poor sweet Biggie's
gonna react when he gets to the end and discovers...
the farmer never finds his hound.
(gasp)
(Poppy) Never finds the hound?
Oh. Oh...
(Holly) Easy, sugar. Breathe into your hair...
(Poppy) Holly, an ending that sad
would be too much for any Pop Troll,
but Biggie is especially sensitive!
Remember that time Smidge dropped her ice cream?
(grunt)
(Biggie) Yes. That's it. Let it all out.
-(Holly) Mmm. -(Poppy) Mmm.
(gasp)
(Biggie) Too soon, guys.
Too soon!
(sob)
Gone but not forgotten!
* You're creamier That any other cone *
This benefit concert is to promote
efficient ice cream eating!
* 'Cause you were one In a million *
* And for a minute You were mine *
* Tasted so divine **
(Smidge) Oh, my guh.
(Poppy) We have to warn Biggie that book is too sad right away.
(Holly) But the entire dramatic question of the book
is "Will the farmer find the hound?"
If we tell Biggie it's sad, he'll figure out the ending!
(Poppy) Hmm.
What if we tell him to stop reading
'cuz the book's bad?
(Holly) I dunno.
A Troll sayin' somethin's bad ain't especially believable.
I mean, unless we somehow find a Troll
with a well-established history of negativity.
(Branch) Hello!
-(Poppy) Ah. -(Holly) Ah!
(Branch) Oh, Biggie, you're reading that scrapbook?
P... U...
Lemme save you some time, uh, don't.
(Biggie) Branch? You've read this scrapbook?
(Branch) Oh, yeah, and I sure wish I hadn't.
Woo! What a stinker of an ending!
I give it a billion hairs down.
(Biggie) Huh, that surprises me.
Didn't you identify with the farmer?
How he spent all those years in isolation?
(Branch) He-- he did?
(Biggie) Uh-huh. And how he had nobody to talk to
save one loyal companion,
though that friend lacks the ability to talk back?
(Branch) Gary...
(Biggie) And what about this passage,
where it explains that the farmer's tough exterior
was just a mask to cover his desperate need to be loved?
(gasp)
(crying)
(Poppy) Branch, where are you going?
(Branch) To find that book and read...
about myself.
(crying)
(Poppy) Well, what now?
(Holly) Here's what we do...
You use your extraordinary scraptitudes
to scrap a new, less sad ending for the book.
Then, when Biggie's asleep,
we swap his copy with the new copy.
Then, the next day we just play it real nonchalant-like...
(Poppy) Biggie! Funny randomly running into you here!
(Holly) Say, did you happen to finish
reading that scrapbook?
(Biggie) Oh. Well, yes I did, actually...
and you would not believe the ending!
It was incredibly happy!
Even by Troll standards!
(Poppy) Oh, that's so great!
I'm glad you loved it!
(Biggie) Oh, I didn't love it.
-(Poppy) Huh? -(Holly) Huh?
(Biggie) The whole last chapter didn't make any sense!
Like this part here, when the farmer finds the hound
and the hound says, "You're my best friend,
and also, let's go ride this roller coaster..."
Where did they get a roller coaster come from?
And since when can the hound talk?
(Holly) Oh, yeah, heh, I guess the writer
just got carried away.
(chuckle)
(Biggie) No, no, there must be something I'm missing,
some hidden meaning.
So, I'm going to go to Gust's book club.
-(Holly) Wait, what? -(Poppy) Gust's book club!
(Biggie) Yes, so I can talk
all about this ending with other Trolls!
Bye-bye!
(screaming)
(Holly) Now what?
When he talks to the Trolls at that book club,
he's gonna figure out the real ending!
(Poppy) Ugh, I should've never added that roller coaster!
Gah! Why do I have to be so Poppy?
(Gust) Welcome to scrapbook club, everyone.
Who'd like to kick things off?
(Biggie) Well I, for one,
would love to discuss the ending. See--
(Holly) The ending?
Woah, slow down there, Biggie,
how can we discuss the ending
without discussing the beginning?
(Poppy) Yeah, and speaking of beginnings,
how about this cover?
Like, why did the author put it first?
What does that say about the Troll experience?
(Biggie) Uh, well, don't covers always come--
(Holly) And how 'bout this table of contents, y'all?
Oh! What do you think these numbers represent?
(Biggie) The chapters?
(Holly) Oh, fascinatin',
let's deep dive into that, shall we?
(Biggie) Do you guys think--
(Poppy) Think it's time for a snack break? You bet I do!
Brownies!
(Troll) Don't mind if I do!
(Holly) Yum, yum, yum!
-(Biggie) But what about-- -(Holly) Great point, Biggie. That reminds me of a song!
(laughing)
-(Holly) Yeehaw! -(Poppy) Yeehaw!
-(Holly) Marco! -(Poppy) Trollo!
(laughing)
(Gust) Well, folks, I recon that'll about do it for tonight.
(Biggie) Wow, I still don't have any clarity on that ending.
(sigh)
Oh, well, I suppose it just wasn't meant to be.
(sigh)
(Branch) You guys!
-(Biggie) Huh? -(Branch) I'm sorry I'm so late, but I just finished the book
and I have to discuss the ending...
-(Poppy) Branch, no! -(Holly) Stop!
(Branch) I can't believe the farmer
never finds the hound.
(gasp)
(Biggie) Branch? What are you...?
Of course...
(Poppy) Biggie, we tried...
(Holly) We didn't want you to find out.
(Biggie) I-- I have to go now.
*
(sigh)
(Poppy) Hey, Biggie.
(Holly) How ya doin', sugar?
(Biggie) I'm sad, guys. Really, really sad.
(Poppy) Oh, Biggie.
(Holly) We are so sorry we couldn't keep you
from reading that ending.
(Biggie) Really?
'Cuz I'm not.
(Poppy) You're not?
I-- I don't understand.
(Holly) You're sayin' you want to be sad?
(Biggie) Well, no, no one wants to be sad, but...
I am grateful for it.
You see, being an especially sensitive Troll
does mean I get sadder than most.
And sometimes that hurts.
* Divine! **
Thank you!
But it also helps me to see the good things
that come with the bad.
And to find deeper connections with my friends.
* Cause you were One in a million *
* And for a minute You were mine *
* You tasted so divine **
And I would never be sorry for that.
(Poppy) Wow, Biggie, that's just beautiful.
(Holly) Yeah.
You just might even have
a better understandin' of sadness
than us Country Western Trolls.
(Biggie) Thank you.
And thank you both for looking out for me.
But I'm going to be just fine.
And so will you, Branch.
(Branch weeps)
(Branch) He never found the hound!
* Oh, you were one In a million *
* Everyone feels sad Sometimes *
* We all feel sad sometimes **
(snoring)
-(Val) Ha! -(Trolls) Huh?
(Val) I want to ride a rollercoaster.
(Trolls) Yeah!
(Val) Let's ride.
(laughing)
-(Stripe) Hold there! -(Trolls) Huh?
(Stripe) Wait just a tick, Antsy Nancy.
Hate to put a halt on this hip-hip-hooray,
but I can't rip your ticket 'til you serve Murray Duty!
(Val) Uh, can someone translate?
My total gibberish is a bit rusty.
(Poppy) C'mon, Val, Murray Duty!
As in, Murray the Puffalo?
The mascot of the theme park?
(laughing)
(Puffalo Mascot) Puff-a-hello!
(kids) Puff-a-hello!
(laughing)
(Val) Oh, I know Murray.
He features heavily in my nightmares.
(Stripe) Yessir, ol' Murray is the pride of the park,
and Trolls take turns being him as an act of civic service
that we call "Murray Duty."
Which you'd know if you'd answered
any of those Murray Duty letters we sent you, you silly goose!
(Val) I never got any letters.
Oh, wait...
Here, file this for me.
Oh, yeah, that is a thing I do.
(laughing)
(Stripe) Well, I'm afraid that thing you do
is a no-can-do, and you can't enter the park
'til your Murray Duty has been fulfilled!
(Val) Why don't you guys head on in.
Looks like I'm gonna have to get hard core with this guy...
(laughing)
Now, I didn't wanna have to do this but...
Please, Poppy!
You gotta talk to this guy for me.
I can't be some goofy mascot.
I've been cultivating
a hardcore rocker image my entire life.
See, when I raise my fist, it's like...
(all) Yeah!
(Val) But if Hard Rock Trolls
see me in that embarrassing get-up,
they'd lose all respect for me. It would be like...
(Demo) Pass.
(Poppy) C'mon, Val, Murray Duty
is a way for us to give back to our community.
It's a true honor.
(laughing)
(Val) Nope. Sorry, Poppy, I can't.
(Poppy) Okay.
You've grown a lot since moving to TrollsTopia.
I'm sure in the end you'll do the right thing.
But until then, no Murray, no coasters.
(humming)
(laughing)
(groaning)
(Biggie) Welcome! I'm Biggie,
your parkappointed Murray coordinator,
here to guide you as you fulfill your Murray Duty!
Puffa-hello!
(Trolls) Puffa-hello!
(Biggie) It is been my honor to serve as Murray
over 100 times!
Including Techno Day, Classical Day
and Country-Western Day.
Why, I've done it so often
it's hard to tell if I'm playing Murray...
or if it's the other way 'round...
(bleating)
Which one's really the costume...?
Anyway, let the tryouts begin!
(Trolls) Yeah!
(Val) Wait, you have tryouts?
(Biggie) Of course!
But don't worry, if you tryout without getting an assignment,
it still counts toward fulfilling your Murray Duty.
(Val) Really?
Well, we better get started and find out
who's not cut out to be Murray!
Cause some of us are gonna be pretty awful.
(Biggie) Round one, dancing.
Val, show me your best Murray moves.
(Val) Oh, trust me,
you've never seen moves like mine.
Hit it, worm!
*
(laughing)
(Val) Whoa. Whoa.
(Biggie) Val? What's happening?
(Val) Whoa. I'm stumbling.
I'm so bad at this!
Whoa. Whoa.
Whoa!
Whoa.
Oh, no!
What a blunder I've made!
(Biggie) Oh, my Troll, Val,
there is only one word to describe
a bumbling display like that...
Awesome!
(Val) Yeah, I'll just show myself out.
Wait, did you say awful or awesome?
(Biggie) Awesome!
I've never seen anyone
capture Murray's clumsy charm so perfectly!
(Val) Oh, I'll show you charm.
(Biggie) Round five, The Murray Choo-Choo!
For the purposes of this exercise,
I will be playing your rider.
Biggie wants a twain wide!
(Val) Okie dokie, off we go, lil' buddy!
Buckle up.
(screaming)
(Biggie) Uh. Biggie finks da twain
doesn't usuawy go 'dis fast.
(screaming)
(bell rings)
(Troll) Woohoo!
(kids) Yeah!
(scream)
Yeah!
(screaming)
(train whistle)
(scream)
(Biggie) Stop da twain! Stop da twain!
(screaming)
(Val) Well? How'd I do?
(Biggie) All right, that's quite enough!
I have never, in all my life, seen a Murray be so reckless!
Which means you're the perfect Murray
for Hard Rock Day!
*
(Stripe) Welcome to Hard Rock Day!
(all) Yeah!
(Val) Oh, man.
Of course I'd get stuck doing Murray Duty
on the one day when all of the Hard Rock Trolls
are guaranteed to be here.
(Poppy) Val, you can't spend the day hiding.
For some Trolls,
seeing Murray is the most magical part
of coming to the park.
(Val) Hey, all anyone said
was that I have to be Murray for the day, okay?
No one said that Trolls had to see me doing it.
A'Murray-out.
* I got to get away *
* Get away *
* Get, get away, yeah! *
* Hey, hey, hey! *
* I got to get away *
* Get away *
* Get, get away, yeah! *
* Hey, hey! *
* Yeah, I can't waste Another minute *
* I gotta run If I'm gonna escape *
* Far, far away *
* I think they're Already onto me *
* So I can't waste Another minute *
* All the humiliation *
* I just can't take *
* I got to get away *
* Get away *
* Get, get away, yeah! *
* Hey, hey, hey! *
* I got to get away *
* Get away *
* Get, get away, yeah! *
* Hey, hey! *
* No, I can't waste Another single minute **
(Stripe) Thank you, one and all,
for making this a rockin' day at the park.
(Val) Yes, closing time, almost home free.
Right about now, my friends should be heading out.
(laughing)
Boom!
And right about now,
Poppy is fed up with me hiding all day,
so she's glaring at me
with a hilarious look of disapproval...
Nailed it!
(grunt)
Sorry, Popsqueak, but I don't feel
the least bit bad here.
I mean, I fulfilled my Murray Duty,
kept the respect of the Hard Rock Trolls
and all it meant was that a few Trolls
couldn't see a big, furry goofball.
Honestly, who cares, right?
(Poppy) Well, Val, for starters, he cares.
(Troll kid) But I don't understand.
Where was Murray?
I looked and looked,
and I didn't see him the whole day.
(laughing)
(Val) No, Poppy, I can't.
(Poppy) Okay, Val, like I said,
you've grown a lot since you've moved to TrollsTopia.
In the end, you'll do the right thing...
(Troll kid) I guess Murray didn't want to see me.
(gasp)
(Demo) Val?
(Val) Excuse me.
(gasp)
(laughing)
Puffa-hello!
(Troll kid) Puffa-hello!
(Val) Come back soon! Murray loves ya!
(sigh)
Let's just say what we're all thinking,
you saw me in the costume
and now it's changed the way you look at me.
(Demo) Well, actually, yeah, it has...
(sigh)
We respect you more than ever.
(Val) Yeah, I'll just show myself out.
Wait, did you say reject or respect?
(Demo) Respect.
(Val) But being Murray it's so...
(Demo) Goofy? Yeah, we thought so too.
But it's actually a way to give back to the community.
It's a real honor.
We just didn't realize it,
not until we did our Murray Duty.
(Val) You guys, you all did the--
(all) Mmhmm.
(Val) Wow...
So, just outta curiosity,
what would you all say if I did this?
(Trolls) Yeah.
Murray! Murray! Murray!
* All the humiliation *
* I just can't take *
* I got to get away *
* Get away *
* Get, get away, yeah! *
* Hey, hey, hey! *
* I got to get away *
* Get away *
* Get, get away, yeah! *
* Hey, hey! *
* No I can't waste Another single minute **
