Clay
I'm more than just the fun one. I’m in a Sad Book Club. Did you know that? A sad book club. I’m gonna find Trolls who take me seriously.

Like I said, she's got some stuff going on, man. If we don’t want to get caught, we should sneak out now.

We call burgers “meat circles”.

[John Dory: Clay!!]
Hm. John. [John Dory: Wha—?]
Clay
If I was still fun, would I have chosen the admin building as my bedroom? [cut to said admin building, a crow caws in the background] Huh? Huh? Asking the tough questions, guys. Asking the tough questions.
Clay
It's just that "Fun Boy" Clay is dead. "Serious Boy" Clay only does the well oiled robot and it is no [DJ sounds] fun.
Clay
Guilty!
Clay
[Viva: Clay...?]
I'm sorry, Viva, but we have to leave. I don't wanna lose my brother either.
Clay
Really great note, John Dory. Super helpful. Thanks. Thanks. Now I have a creative note for you. Stop being bossy!
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!
Clay
Wait, Grandma got eaten?
Clay
And tax evasion. I'm going to have to repossess your yacht.
Clay
I'm sorry we didn’t get to see you grow up, but I’m excited to get to hang out with you now.
Clay
Now, these guys know how to flex the drip.

Viva
Hug time!
Bruce
[John Dory opens his arms, expecting a hug]
Uhhh……
Clay
Yeah... no...
Viva
[John Dory looks down, sad]
Aw, so cute. Where'd you get that hug time bracelet?
Poppy
My dad gave it to me.
Viva
Okay, this is so totally random, but I used to have one just like it. Can I see that?
Poppy
[takes her bracelet off and puts it on Viva's wrist]
Wow. It fits you perfectly.
Viva
[examines it]
Yeah. [traces a circle around it with a finger and it shimmers a little]
Poppy
Whoa.
Viva
[soft chuckle]
I'm sorry. What did you say your name was again?
Poppy
I'm Poppy. [extends her hand out towards Viva]
Viva
Poppy?
Viva
Okay, um, another totally random, weird question, but is your dad King Peppy?
Poppy
Uh, yeah?
Viva
You're.... you're---you're alive!
Poppy
[confused]
I'm alive!
Viva
This is unbelievable! I never thought I’d see you again.
Poppy
[still confused]
Again?
Viva
Poppy, it's me. Viva.
Poppy
Uh....
Viva
I'm your sister.
Poppy
My... my what?
Viva
Your sister. Your hermana.
Branch
Woah.
Tiny Diamond
Come on, man! Am I the only one without a long-lost sibling?
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.
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
[a light switch flips, shocked, confused looks appearing on Clay’s and his brothers’ faces as they all look up and then around. A gate comes down, and they are locked in. Unable to sneak out. Clay turns his attention towards Viva, a nervous smile appearing on his face]
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.
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
[Rhonda lurched to a stop, and Poppy, John Dory, Clay and Bruce stumble in response]
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
[walks over and picks up the paper before straightening it out and looks down at it]
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?
Branch
[After Floyd “dies”, he floats down and is caught by Branch, who is in tears as he sets him down on the floor of the yacht and their other brothers join them, all sad and silent] [sadly]
Floyd.
Bruce
[Branch and his three older brothers surround the motionless Floyd; John Dory is in the right, Clay is in the middle, while Branch and Bruce are in the left, all of them falling to their knees and with sad looks on their faces]
Come on, man. Wake up. Wake up, Floyd!
John Dory
We need you, brother. [Poppy and Viva watch this from here with sad looks on their faces]
Clay
Oh no!
Branch
[As his three brothers continue to look at Floyd sadly, Branch lets out his conflicted expression to Floyd, with tears still flowing down his face] [hoarsely]
I... I built the hideout, Floyd. Except for the ten story water slide.
Floyd
[Branch and his three brothers hung their heads as they feel Floyd’s body. Branch felt Floyd at first, but Floyd’s eyes slowly open to Branch and his brothers] [wakes up]
But.... how will we shower?
Branch
[happily]
Floyd!
Clay
Floyd?
John Dory
Yeah!
Bruce
Yes!
Clay
Floyd! No way! Oh, yeah! [laughs]
Veneer
[Branch hugs Floyd, before John Dory, Bruce and Clay join in the hug along with Poppy and Viva. Elsewhere, Velvet and Veneer recover after the shockwave from the Perfect Family Harmony]
Listen up, Mount Rageons. We...are...FRAUDS! [the crowd gasps, and Velvet looks at him in shock] And we've been literally torturing little trolls. [the crowd gasps again as Veneer grabs and holds a camera] We just wanted to be famous. Honestly, my sister wanted to be famous and, truly, I was too afraid to stand up to her.
Velvet
[devastated and betrayed, yet furious]
It's like I don't even know who you are!
Veneer
[defiantly]
Yeah, you do. And you asked me to change, anyway, which isn't okay, family or not. [Floyd smiles at him, as he smiles back at him. Crimp suddenly places handcuffs on Velvet's thumbs]
Velvet
[shocked]
Crimp! What are you doing?! [Crimp also places handcuffs on Veneer's thumbs]
Veneer
[as he notices the handcuffs on his thumbs]
I was just saying I had a change of heart.
Crimp
You also engaged in troll-napping, troll torture, fraud... [shrugs, snickering sheepishly]
Clay
And tax evasion. [takes out a pen and clipboard] I'm going to have to repossess your yacht.
Veneer
Fair enough. Prison it is! [Crimp snaps her fingers, then two security guards show up. Veneer smugly smiles and Velvet scowls with rage while the guards escort them both away]
Crimp
[excitedly]
Wow, this is liberating!
Poppy
[Mount Rageons start cheering with Velvet and Veneer shown getting escorted away by the security guards on the camera, as Rhonda starts barking at Velvet and Veneer in the process]
So, how you feeling?
Branch
Happy, grateful and really sorry it's taken me this long to open up to you.
Poppy
Whoa, TMI. Boundaries, my man. That is a lot of feelings.
Branch
[Poppy and Branch both laugh, then go in for their first kiss. Watching, the Mount Rageons swoon and cheer upon witnessing this on the screen, while Bruce and Clay both sport proud looks on their faces as they do a congratulatory handshake, Floyd sheds a tear of pride whilst John Dory hugs him, and Rhonda howls in happiness] [after the kiss]
Uh... What just happened?
Poppy
Oh. Viva just braided your hair. [the camera pans out to reveal Branch's hair is braided] It means she likes you.
Viva
That means I like you!
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
[eating soup]
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.
Boom
[Everybody laughs along with one of Branch’s other bandmates saying ‘hear what he said’]
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-
