The following is a transcript for the episode "Hair Ball".
Script
(The book opens up and explains about The Hair Ball.)
Poppy: Once in a while, Trolls like to go beyond the everyday parties and throw a formal soiree that we call The Hair Ball.
All: Ew!
Poppy: Yeah, the name isn’t great. But it’s classy. And if you want to be classy, you got to get your hair done! (Poppy and some Trolls are at Maddy’s Hair Saloon getting their hair done. She starts singing Let’s Get It Done as the rest of the Trolls get ready for The Hair Ball.)
(Poppy)
1, 2, 3, hey
Got get me looking good
Because I’ll be stepping out
I got to feel my finest
You know what I’m talking about
Because when you’re feeling fine
You can do anything
That’s when you dance your best
And sing like a queen
There’s nothing better than
Your natural beauty
But, baby, when we dress it up
You know we get it done, done, baby
Done, done the way we want
And we’ll be having fun, fun, baby
Fun, fun, the way we love
So let’s get it done (The Trolls cheer for Poppy.)
Smidge: Poppy, you’ll never believe it. I was on my way over here, when suddenly, I ran into… (We go to the past to where Smidge met Milton.)
Milton: Smidge?
Past Smidge: (gasps) Milton Moss. (She blushes happily and stares at Milton. Then we go back to the present.)
Smidge: We were like that for two hours. (sighs) He asked me to go with him to The Hair Ball, and I said yes!
Poppy: (gasps) OK, first of all… (She hugs Smidge as she and the rest of the Trolls cheer.) But second, didn’t you already say you would go with Guy Diamond?
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! I did. I’ve been looking forward to it, but I just got so caught up in the moment! Oh, my Guh! Oh, my Guh! Oh, my Guh!
Poppy: Whoa! Whoa! Breath, Smidge. (Smidge pants to calm down.) There’s a clear plan of action here. Talk to Guy. I’m sure he’ll understand.
Guy Diamond: (As his hair sticks into the saloon) Who will understand? (He appears in the saloon.) Pardon the glitter-uption, friends, but I came to give Smidge… this. (He puts a necklace on Smidge.)
Smidge: (gasps) For me?! But why?
Guy Diamond: For going with me to The Hair Ball. After all, you are the strongest dancer in all the village. With all the moves we’ll be able to do… (He does a glitter fart and jumps into Smidge’s arms.) Ha! … all eyes will be on us the entire night. (He does another glitter fart and Smidge puts him down.) So thank you, Smidge. It means so much to me. Now, what did you want to talk about?
Smidge: Oh, well, I just had to tell you that…
Guy Diamond: Yes?
Smidge: I can’t wait. Yay!
Guy Diamond: Ha! My thoughts exactly. See you tonight! So long! Ta-ta! (He glitter farts away like a rocket. Smidge then turns to Poppy.)
Smidge: OK, new plan. I’ll go with both Guy and Milton, keeping them on opposite sides of the ball, switching back and forth. Agreed?
Poppy, Biggie, Satin and Chenille: Wait, what?
Smidge: Glad we’re on the same page. Bye! (Later that night, The Hair Ball has started.)
Troll #1: Oh, gosh.
Troll #2: Is this really happening? (Poppy and her friends get out of a Caterbus wearing their formal clothes.)
Biggie: Wahoo! (He and his friends head for the leaf door.) So cool! (DJ Suki is playing music while the guests are talking.)
Poppy: All right, gang, let’s get out on that dance floor! (She sees a bowl of punch.) Ooh. Hm. That bowl is only half full. Better make sure it’s full-full so the party don’t stop.
Satin: Poppy, you’re doing it again.
Chenille: At every Hair Ball, you get so focused making sure it’s fun for everyone else, you forget to dance.
Poppy: I do?
Satin and Chenille: Mm-hm.
Branch: Well, if you ask me, Poppy’s got the right idea. (We can see that Branch is in his normal clothes.) Fancy dancing’s too stuffy. That’s why I’ll be over here all night. (Poppy and her friends gasp.)
Biggie: Branch is wallflowering, guys! He’s wallflowering!
Poppy: Nah-ah. Nope! I’m gonna make sure you get on that dance floor tonight, mister. Ooh. Right after I hang more decorations. (A Troll couple appears beside Branch.)
Troll #3: Check out that decked-out limo! (The crowd cheers and runs toward the limo where Guy Diamond and Smidge come out. Halfway down the limo's steps, Guy turns around and puts his hands on his hips, then we see his bottom up close before the camera zooms out.)
Smidge: Wow! This is amazing, Guy!
Guy Diamond: Now, before the night goes any further, I have to know… are they looking at us? (The crowd gasps in amazement.)
Smidge: Yeah.
Guy Diamond: See? Center of attention already. Now, shall we? (Smidge takes his hand and they walk down the aisle as the Trolls cheer. As they walk, the move funny. After that, they laugh.)
Smidge: What?! (She sees Milton. He looks around and sighs.) Milton Moss!
Guy Diamond: Did you say something?
Smidge: Uh… I said, look at all these Trolls by the refreshment table. (He pushes Guy Diamond to the food table.) Have you told them that charming and long anecdote of yours?
Guy Diamond: Why, no, Smidge, I haven’t. Now, to really understand this story, we have to go back to the beginning… (He jumps onto the table, sending the punch bowl flying into he air and Smidge runs off.) … of time.
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! Oh, my Guh! (She jumps into he grass and finds a pink dress. Then she changes into it and meets Milton.) Hello there? (Milton turns around and sees Smidge in the new dress.)
Milton: Wow. (He walks toward Smidge.) Shall we? (He and Smidge take each other’s arms and walk to the dance floor. Milton gives Smidge a new blue bracelet and they get a picture.) Care to get some refreshments?
Smidge: Sure. Wait! Refreshments!
Guy Diamond: (Sitting on a food table) And then I said, “Was that your glitter or was it mine?” (He eats a cupcake as a group Trolls laugh.)
Smidge: No! I can’t! (stammers) I’m… afraid of brownies.
Milton: Of brownies?
Smidge: Yeah, oh, deathly afraid. Anyway, I got to see a Troll about a Puffalo, if you know what I mean. (She runs over to Guy Diamond and a group of Trolls laughing. She has changed back to her first dress.) Great story, Guy.
Guy Diamond: Smidge, let’s hit the dance floor.
Smidge: Let’s do it!
Milton: Smidge? Smidge? Smidge, where are you?
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! Uh… Guy, you’ve got something in your teeth.
Guy Diamond: (gasps) Here? (He moves his tongue around.)
Smidge: No, here.
Guy Diamond: Or over here?
Smidge: This way.
Guy Diamond: Now?
Smidge: Right here.
Guy Diamond: Please tell me I got it.
Smidge: Now it’s somehow up here!
Guy Diamond: (screams) What a nightmare! I need a second here, Smidge! (He covers himself with his hair.)
Smidge: No problem. (She runs over Milton in her pink dress.) I’m back.
Milton: Good. I was worried. Oh, no. Smidge, I don’t want to alarm you, but there’s a brownie behind you. (Smidge sees a red male Troll eating a brownie.)
Smidge: Yeah, so? Oh! (She screams in terror.)
Milton: (Jumping in front of Smidge) Go, Smidge! I’ll hold it off!
Smidge: IT’S A BROWNIE! (She runs away.) Oh, my Guh. This is actually working! (She runs past Poppy who is putting up more lights on a ladder.)
Poppy: OK, just got to get the last of these up, and then give the centerpieces a little bit of sprucing and… Branch? (Branch is wearing sunglasses.) Dancing, you, now!
Branch: You’re not dancing.
Poppy: (As Smidge runs by in her first dress) Yeah, because I’m taking care of other stuff.
Smidge: (In her pink dress) Back to Guy!
Poppy: Smidge!
Smidge: (In her first dress) Milton! (She stops running.)
Poppy: Smidge, are you OK?
Smidge: I’m great, Poppy! My plan is going perfectly. As long as I keep my dates separated, it can’t fail.
DJ Suki: (amplified) All right, y’all, it’s time for the dance competition!
Smidge: (As the Trolls cheer) Huh?
DJ Suki: I need to see every booty on the floor! (She plays some music and the Trolls dance and cheer.)
Smidge: (gasps) Every booty?!
Milton: Smidge? Smidge?
Guy Diamond: Smidge? Smidge?
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! Oh, my Guh! Oh, my Guh! (She runs over to Guy Diamond.)
Guy Diamond: Smidge, there you are! I thought we were going to miss the big dance. (He and Smidge start dancing.)
Smidge: Nope! Wouldn’t miss it. Big twirl! (She spins Guy Diamond around with her hair and runs off.)
Guy Diamond: Ha-ha! (Smidge runs over to Milton in her pink dress and catches him just before he falls.)
Milton: Smidge!
Smidge: Here I am! And now the dip! (She throws Milton into the air and runs back to Guy Diamond.)
Guy Diamond: Did you change clothes? (Smidge yells because she is still in her pink dress and he laughs. Smidge then spins him around again and runs back to Milton. She catches him just before he lands. She goes back to Guy Diamond and pushes him.)
Guy Diamond: Whoo! (Smidge continues switching to Milton and Guy Diamond until the dance competition ends. A bug gives DJ Suki a card.)
DJ Suki: (amplified) Well, the judges have made their decision. It’s Smidge and her date, Guy Diamond… (A spotlight shines on Guy Diamond and he gasps.) … and… Smidge and her date, Milton? (The Trolls gasp in surprise.)
Troll #4: She what?!
Smidge: (Holding Milton and Guy Diamond’s hands) It isn’t what it looks like! (Guy Diamond begins to cry and runs off along with Milton.) I guess it is what it looks like. (She runs after Milton.) Wait! Milton! (She hears Guy Diamond crying on a rock and goes over to him.) Guy, I-
Guy Diamond: Don’t come any closer! How could you do this?! (A group of Trolls gasp.) If you didn’t want to go with me, you could have just said so!
Smidge: I know, Guy. I’m so sorry. But I did want to go with you. It just all happened so fast. Can you please forgive me?
Guy Diamond: Forgive you?! (He jumps off the rock.) Smidge, if you think a few words will erase all this hurt, then I only have one thing to say to you. (He points his finger at Smidge.) Are they looking? Are they looking at us?
Smidge: Wha… I-I mean… (The crowd murmurs. One of the Trolls takes a picture.) Actually, yeah, they are.
Guy Diamond: See? Center of attention again!
Smidge: Wait, so you’re not mad?
Guy Diamond: Are you kidding?! A giant dramatic moment in front of a crowd? It’s a storybook Hair Ball ending! (wails) I’ll never be whole again! (He lies down on the rock and starts crying again.) Now, don’t just stand around watching me, go talk to him. (Smidge looks at Milton sitting on another rock. Guy Diamond wails again.) My life is over! (He grabs a red Glitter Troll.) Glitter has lost its sparkle! (Smidge goes over to Milton.)
Smidge: Milton? I-
Milton: Look, Smidge, I was pretty upset at all the tricks you pulled. But then I thought, if you were willing to go to all that trouble just to go to a dance with me… you must think I’m pretty special. But then I realized how silly that thought was.
Smidge: Oh.
Milton: Because I know it’s never OK to mislead someone.
Smidge: Oh.
Milton: But I also know everybody makes mistakes.
Smidge: I’m sorry, (Milton smiles.) Milton. How about one more dance? (Milton takes her hand.)
Guy Diamond: Looks like there’s an after-party! (He hangs himself in the air and poses like a disco ball. The other Trolls dance along while Branch watches.)
Poppy: (Carrying bags) All righty, what’s next? Branch, that’s it! I am taking you on that dance floor right now!
Branch: (sighs) Fine. (He goes in the bushes and changes to his formal clothes.)
Poppy: What?! (Branch takes her hand and twirls her around.) Whoa! Branch, I thought you hated fancy dancing.
Branch: Nope. Fancy dancing is the best. But you’re always worrying about everyone else so much, I knew the only way to get you out on the floor was to make you make me dance with you.
Poppy: Uh… Uh… Uh… Yep, checks out. Good plan, Branch. (She and Branch head for the dance floor and the camera moves up into the sky.)
