The following is a transcript for the episode "Smooth Operator".
Script
(Poppy is forming a team of Glitterball players.)
Poppy: OK, for my Glitterball team, my 3rd first pick will be… Dante! (Some Trolls cheer and Dante joins Poppy while chuckling.)
Val: And my 4th first pick will be… the mysterious figure in the shadows.
All: Huh? (They move out of the way to reveal Chaz. He plays his saxophone and the Trolls gasp.)
Poppy: Chaz the Smooth Jazz Troll?
Chaz: The one and only. (He walks over to Poppy.) Jazzed to see you all again.
Val: Uh… a Smooth Jazz Troll? Can someone tell me what’s going on?
Biggie: Ooh, I call recap-sies! (The crowd groans.) Chaz the Smooth Jazz Troll is the bounty hunter who hypnotized Branch, Poppy, and me with his magical saxophone, only to be fended off by our companion, Hickory, who was actually two bounty yodeling bounty hunters in a Country Western disguise. And then we all made up and partied in Volcano Rock City. All clear now?
Val: Crystal.
Poppy: So great to see you again, Chaz. What brings you to TrollsTopia?
Chaz: Oh, nothing really. Just a bit of utter loneliness.
All: Aw…
Chaz: Allow me to jazz-splain. You see, I am the only Smooth Jazz Troll there is. With no place to call my home.
Poppy: Aw.
Chaz: But then I heard of a glorious new city where every Troll finds a place. And its name was TrollsTopia.
Poppy: Well, that’s exactly the kind of place TrollsTopia is! Welcome, Chaz! (Just as she and the Trolls are about to welcome Chaz, Val steps in front of them.)
Val: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Look, guys, as a Hard Rock Troll, I naturally question things, OK? Rules, convention and especially saxophone-wielding strangers with an eerie amount of chest hair. (She shows Chaz combing is chest hair.)
Chaz: Ooh, yeah.
Val: You can’t just welcome him in. He tried to hypnotize you.
Biggie: Yeah, but just the one time.
Poppy: Besides, Val, we should strive to welcome everyone, regardless of their past. I mean, Queen Barb to steal all the Tribes’ music and now she’s like my bestie times infinity plus one, so… hm?
Val: Yeah, that’s true. But no.
Chaz: Ah!
Val: I’m watching you, jazz boy. (She shows the hand sign on both of her hands and sticks out her tongue. Then she walks backwards. She reappears and leaves again. Poppy and the Trolls then laugh nervously.)
Keith: OK, I’m just gonna say it. I am not cool with the jazz! It is so boring!
Poppy: Keith!
Chaz: No offense taken, Queen Poppy. It’s widely known that Smooth Jazz has no effect on children. To them, it’s as boring as shopping with their mom and dad for pants.
Keith: Pants shopping?! (He screams and runs away. Poppy and the Trolls laugh nervously again.)
Poppy: Where were we? Oh, yeah. Welcome, Chaz! (The Trolls cheer and some Trolls hug Chaz.)
Chaz: At last, a home. (He takes out two suitcases.) Now, which way to the Smooth Jazz Neighborhood?
Poppy: (confused) The what?
Chaz: You know, the famous TrollsTopia neighborhoods that reflect each Troll’s unique culture?
Poppy: Oh, right. The Smooth Jazz Neighborhood, yeah. We don’t have a Smooth Jazz Neighborhood.
Chaz: Oh.
Poppy: I’m so sorry. We just didn’t think-
Chaz: No, it’s my fault, Poppy. I should have known the dream of TrollsTopia was too good to be true. Maybe I can make this area the Jazz neighborhood. (He shows a triangular rock.) This can be my bed. (He climbs onto the rock and tries to lie down, but this causes his back to hurt and he grunts in pain.) At last, a home. (All the Trolls gasp.)
Poppy: OK, guys, we have to help Chaz. And I know just what to do. (Soon, she is guiding a blindfolded Chaz.) A little farther. A little farther. Listen, Chaz, it breaks out hearts that you don’t feel like you belong, so we’ve been working on a solution. (She uncovers Chaz’s eyes. Holly, Val, Lownote, and Synth are showing a newly built home for Chaz.) The Smooth Jazz Grotto!
Chaz: (amazed) Oh!
Poppy: Want a tour? (She takes Chaz inside his new home.)
Dante: Welcome to your new home. (Chaz starts looking around.)
Chaz: Oh, oh, oh!
Dante: First, to set the mood for the ultimate Smooth Jazz locale, one must have a roaring fire… on every wall! (The camera zooms out to reveal many fireplaces on the walls.)
Chaz: (gasps) Fan-jazz-tic.
Smidge: And a deep shag rug to lie on while you play sax. (She stands on the rug.) The deepest shag we could find! (She sinks and falls through the rug.) AAAAAAAAAHHHH! (Her landing is heard.) I’m OK! (Poppy takes Chaz to a salon room. He gasps and jumps onto a chair.)
Holly: And here we have a personal hair salon to keep those luscious locks of yours a-flowin’!
Chaz: Yes! (He blows his chest hair with a hair dryer.) I never thought I could achieve such chest volume!
Holly: Uh… sugar, we actually thought you’d use it on your-
Chaz: Now the conditioner. (He puts conditioner on his chest hair.)
Holly: Ugh! Never mind. Ugh! (Later, Chaz is with Poppy and her friends.)
Chaz: Well, friends, you’ve shown me that the dream of TrollsTopia is real Every Troll, even the one that is me, has a place here.
All: Aw!
Chaz: Now, out of gratitude for all of this, there’s a priceless gift I’d like to give.
All: Oh.
Chaz: To your ears. (He plays his saxophone.)
All: Oh. (Val is seen by the entrance.)
Val: Not fooling me, jazz boy. (Later, Biggie comes to Chaz’s home with a gift.)
Biggie: Chaz! It’s Biggie! Mr. Dinkles and I brought you some housewarming fondue! (He trips over something.) Aah! (He sees that he tripped over one of Chaz’s suitcases.) Sorry! I tripped over your suitcase, but I’ll clean it up! (He sees some paper and learns about Chaz’s plan. He is going to turn TrollsTopia into JazzTopia.) Uh, I found what appears to be your evil plans for turning all of TrollsTopia into something called JazzTopia. Which I don’t know I shouldn’t be shouting out, but I can’t seem to stop! (He gets up.) ‘Kay, I’m gonna run for my life now! Bye! (He bumps into something.) Oof! (He sees a big tiger with sunglasses. The camera pans up from its paws to its face.) Aah! (He sees another big tiger and tries to run away, but Chaz blocks his way.)
Chaz: Sorry, but I can’t let you go. Not until you and every single Troll in JazzTopia is under the smooth control of sweet Lady Jazz. (He plays his saxophone and hypnotizes Biggie. Meanwhile, Val is taking a walk.)
Val: Uh… what is happening here? (Mr. Dinkles turn around and we see that he is under Chaz’s control and playing a saxophone. Even Holly has a mustache and is combing it. Dante also makes chest hair appear on himself.)
Dante: And now the conditioner. (He puts conditioner on his chest hair.)
Val: Jazz boy! (At Poppy’s pod, she is getting a gift ready. Val appears at the entrance.) Poppy! You gotta see this! Wait, what’s that?
Poppy: It’s a grotto-warming gift for Chaz.
Val: What?! Poppy, forget that! Chaz is hypnotizing the entire village! (Poppy looks out the window.)
All: Jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz.
Poppy: Oh. Well, gee, Val, based on what you’re saying, we’ve gotta go find Chaz right now. (We cut to Chaz’s home.) So he can explain that this is all just a big misunderstanding!
Val: What?! No, Poppy! He’s evil!
Poppy: Ugh. Chaz, would you please tell Val you don’t have a secret plan to turn us into Smooth Jazz Trolls?
Chaz: Of course! Except that’s exactly what I’m doing.
Poppy: See! Wait, what?
Val: I knew it! (She tries to jump at Chaz, but he hypnotizes her and Poppy. He them sings Can’t Stop Jazz.)
(Chaz)
You can’t resist it
So don’t you try
The velvet smooth infectious groove
Playing all through the night
A swinging beat
It moves your feet
You can’t be mad
The luscious tones invade your bones
You can’t stop jazz
Wow (Poppy and Val sprout mustaches and Poppy drops the present.)
Chaz: Finally, the only Troll that suspected me. And you… (chuckles) You never saw it coming.
Keith: (offscreen) Oh, yes she did! (He pops out of the present.) Sorry, Mr. Snooze Jazz, but Poppy smuggled me in here, for this! (He jumps and charges at Chaz. He even fails to hypnotize him. Keith then grabs his saxophone.)
Chaz: (gasps) Jazz has no effect on children. Give that back! (He snaps his finger and his tiger appears. He gets on it and it growls. Keith blows a raspberry and runs around the room with Chaz behind him. He continues to chase Keith around the room until he stops in front of a fireplace.) Now jazz it over, kid.
Keith: Uh… uh… (He laughs and throughs the saxophone toward the fireplace.)
Chaz: No! (The saxophone bounces off the fake fireplace and around the room. Then it lands on the floor.) Phew! (Unfortunately, the saxophone lands in a real fireplace on the floor.) No! The hypnotism! (Poppy and Val are released from his control.)
Poppy and Val: Huh? (Mr. Dinkles stops playing his saxophone.)
Mr. Dinkles: Mew. (Even the rest of TrollsTopia is released from Chaz’s control.)
Holly: Huh?
Dante: Huh? Ugh. (He rips his chest hair off and screams.)
Chaz: Oh, you may have bested me this time, but I’ll be back! You cannot stop the power of Smooth Jazz! (He rides away with his tigers.)
Keith: Well, that was weird. (He walks away.)
Poppy: Sorry, Val. I guess I should have been suspicious from the start.
Val: Nah. I like that you think the best of every Troll. Don’t go losing that Poptimism just because of one bad cupcake. Besides, it’s cool being a skeptic in this friendship. (Smidge is heard grunting and she comes out of the deep carpet.)
Smidge: Oh, my Guh! (pants) Oh, hey, Guys. What did I miss?
