Branch
We should plan to make our ascent about 200 meters east of the entrance.
Poppy
Good thing I brought extra gummy gloves.
Tiny Diamond
I’m tired. Carry me.
Poppy
You have to walk on your own, Tiny. You have to be a big boy.
Tiny Diamond
But my feet hurt! I don’t wanna!
Branch
I’ll go get Poppy.
Clay
No, no, no, wait. Hold on. There's no way Viva's gonna let her go.
Branch
What? W-What are you talking about?
Clay
Like I said, she's got some stuff going on, man. If we don't wanna get trapped, we should sneak out now.
Clay
Oh, hey... [chuckles] Viva. What's up, girl?
Poppy, suddenly showing up
Viva! What are you doing?
Viva
You're not leaving here no matter what, because--because it's just not safe out there. You're welcome.
Poppy
Wait, is this about the Bergens? Because they stopped trying to eat us. That's all in the past.
Viva
Yeah, right. That's hilarious, Poppy. I'm laughing really hard.
Poppy
I'm serious, Viva. Bridget, my best friend I was telling you about, she's a Bergen. [holds her scrapbook out to Viva] Look. Bridget and I do a million fun things together. We talk and we play games and we sing songs. And make up these really bad dances. It's a lot like--Well, actually, it's a lot like what you and I have been doing. The world's a lot different than it used to be.
Branch
Viva, look, I used to be just like you. I built a bunker, and I lived in it for years because I knew it was safe. And, sure, i-it kept me alive. And I never had to wear pants. But I was living without pants. Does that make sense?
Tiny Diamond
Well, I feel judged.
Viva
You don't understand. I just got my sister back. I'm not gonna lose you. For anything. [gate opens, startling her and all of the other trolls and causing them to all turn around and look up to find that Clay is the one who opened the gate] [a look that’s a mix between nervousness and fear appears on Viva’s face] Clay?
Clay
I'm sorry, Viva, but we have to leave. I don't wanna lose my brother either.
Branch
Oh, hey, look at the time. We’re going to be late to the royal wedding. Let’s go get married.
Poppy
Branch!
Branch
What? [realizing] I-I mean let’s get Bridget and Gristle married.
Poppy
Yeah. Oh, 'cause it would be weird if we got married.
Branch
Yeah, weird.
Poppy
Wow. It’s weird that we’re still talking about how weird it was like 15 seconds later.
Branch
Poppy, I have a small proposal. Will you...
Poppy
Join the band?! Of course I will! I thought you would never ask.
Branch
You know me too well. Now get up here and sing with us.
Poppy
Ahhh! Viva! Viva! Get up here! We're in the band!
Viva
This is my dream life!
Branch
What's up? You got the pre-show jitters?
Floyd
I can't believe that we almost missed out on all this. We may not be the new kids on the block anymore, but I'm loving this new edition of us.
Clay
You know, I'm really glad those 98 degrees of separation are behind us.
John Dory
Just as long as we're together.
Bruce
Mm. Hey. You guys got to try this menudo.
Branch
You didn't think that BroZone was the only band I've ever been in, did you? Please.
Clay
Now, these guys know how to flex the drip.
John Dory
Wow. You guys are so in sync.
I don't get it.
Poppy
Hey, Branch, it’s almost showtime and I was thinking that maybe we should— [stops and zeroes in on Branch with his other band, all of whom have turned to look at her] WHAAAAAAAA-
Bridget
Are those golf balls? [The balls turn into putt-putt trolls] Oh, good. They’re just trolls. Look how cute.
King Gristle
WHAT’S HAPPENING?!?
Bridget
Grissy, I didn’t think we’d both find ourselves tied up on this honeymoon.
Bruce
Oh, my kids love these guys. We’re a total Veneer household.
John Dory
They’re the ones who have Floyd!
Bruce
Ugh. It's gonna be hard to separate the art from the artist.
Clay
Viva doesn't like to talk about it. It’s too painful for her. But she’s been here ever since the night of the great Bergen attack.
Clay
Not everyone made it out of that tree. Some of them got trapped by Bergens. They were this close to getting eaten until Viva and some of the other trolls fought them off. But, by then, the tunnels had collapsed and they were cut off from the rest.
Clay
Viva found this old, abandoned Bergen golf course and transformed it into this troll utopia. We formed this little sanctuary of survivors. I added fire exits. She added her heart and soul.
Floyd
Please, Veneer. Just let me run past you. You can pretend you never saw me. It'll be our little secret.
Veneer
I can't.
Floyd
I know. Velvet would kill you. But just because she’s your sister doesn't mean you should let her treat you like garbage.
Veneer
Doesn't it?
Floyd
No. Sibling or not, you deserve to be treated with kindness and to be around people who would never try to change the you that you are.
Look at you, Tiny Diamond. You make the cutest little flower boy!
Tiny Diamond
Come on, Daddy. I’m not a baby anymore. I'm the cutest little flower man!
But, Tiny, you're only a month old.
John Dory
Tiny, you see that button?
Tiny Diamond
Uh, yeah!
John Dory
The beautiful, shiny button?!
Tiny Diamond
Oh, you mean the button that's taking every fiber of my being not to press? Yeah, I see it!
John Dory
Press it!
John Dory
STOP THE WEDDING!
King Gristle
Uh, Bridget, do you know this guy?
Bridget
I can't remember all my suitors, Grissy.
John Dory
Stop. Stop. Time-out. Let's do it again from the top. Spruce, I want some smolder in those eyes. Clay, you're being too stiff. We need some sillier robot. Bitty B, maybe a smaller diaper.
Branch
If this diaper was any smaller, I could taste it.
Tiny Diamond
That's why I don't wear one of those. It's a hard fit to pull off.
Clay
Really great note, John Dory. Super helpful. Thanks. Thanks. Now I have a creative note for you. Stop being bossy!
John Dory
What? I'm not being bossy. I'm helping us be better.
Clay
No. No, dude, you're forcing us to be perfect, just like you always have, so we can hit the perfect family harmony.
John Dory
Yeah, for Floyd!
Bruce
Is it? Or is this all just so you can tell people what to do again?
John Dory
Wh-What?
Poppy
Guys, guys, this really isn't helpful right now. Let's all maybe take five, huh?
Bruce
This isn't gonna work if you keep on being the same old John Dory.
Clay
Yeah. We've all changed. Bruce settled down, Branch is slightly taller with zero glasses and I'm a licensed CPA. Put some respect on my name, fool!
John Dory
Well, I'm not allowed to change. I'm the oldest. I had to be the leader.
Bruce
You love bossing us around. Just admit it.
John Dory
Why do you think I moved to the middle of nowhere? So I didn't have to be in charge of anyone. Four little brothers is a lot of responsibility!
Bruce
Why do you think I left? So no one would treat me like you did.
John Dory
You know what, Spruce...
Clay
It's Bruce!
Bruce
Thank you, Clay!
Branch
Guys, we can't forget about Floyd.
John Dory
Look, Branch is right. We're here for Floyd. Let's just get this done, and we can go our separate ways.
Clay
Fine.
Branch
Wait. What?
John Dory
What? The mission's the mission. You didn't think we'd all live together when this was all over, did you? Singing songs and roasting marshmallows?
Branch
Oh. I’m sorry. Is that funny to you? That I might want us to actually be a family again? [takes out his bunker plans and looks down at them] Tiny Diamond, pull over now.
Bruce
Don't be a baby, Branch.
Branch
You're mad at him but you guys do the exact same thing to me. You all still treat me like the baby of the family. But guess what?! I stopped being a baby the day you guys walked out on me because I had to. Then Grandma got eaten and there was no one else to take care of me. [crumples his bunker plans up and throws them on the floor] This time I'm walking out on you! [Branch turns and storms out of the van without looking back]
Poppy
This is Branch’s bunker. He built this for you guys.
John Dory
I didn’t know.
Poppy
I guess you never asked.
Clay
Wait. Grandma got eaten?
I kept screaming, "No troll left behind!", but when I went back in, the tunnels had collapsed. That's when I found Viva's hug time bracelet.
I know I should have told Poppy, but my heart was broken. I felt like a failure. Not just as a king, but as a father. I feel so guilty. What do you think I should do?
I'm afraid that’s our time for today.
But I just revealed a major trauma.
Mew!
