(In the pot Holly stares at Delta and takes a deep breath)

Come a little closer honey

(Everyone looks at her and Holly walks to Delta and kneels in front of her)

I feel like layin' you down on a bed of sweet surrender

Where we can work it all out

(She helps Delta stand up)

There ain't nothin' that love can't fix

Girl, it's right here at our fingertips

So come a little closer honey, I feel like layin' you down

Come a little closer honey, I feel like lettin' go

Of everythin' that stands between us

And the love we used to know

I want to touch you like a cleansin' rain

And let it wash all the hurt away

(Delta smiles a bit)

So come a little closer honey, I feel like lettin' go

If there's still a chance then take my hand

And we'll steal away

Off into the night 'til we make things right

(Delta starts to regain her colors)

The sun's gonna rise on a better day

Come a little closer honey, I feel like comin' it down

(Delta regains her colors completely and smiles)

Delta Dawn: Back to the basics of you and me

Both: And what makes the world go 'round

Every inch of you against my skin

I want to be stronger than we've ever been

So come a little closer honey, I feel like comin' it down

(The rest of the Country Trolls regain their colors)

Come a little closer honey, just a little bit closer honey

Come a little closer honey, I feel like layin' you down

Delta Dawn: [smiles and hugs Holly] Thank you.

Holly Darlin': No, thank you. For showin' me how to be happy.

Delta Dawn: Really? You're finally happy? Now?

Holly Darlin': I think so. Happiness is inside of all of us, right? Sometimes, you just need someone to help you find it.

Child: What's gonna happen now, Delta Dawn?

Delta Dawn: I don't know. But I know we're not givin' up.

(The lid opens and the Trolls huddle up)

Hadley: Delta!

Delta Dawn: Hadley? What are you doin'?

(Hadley guides the Country Trolls outside)

Hadley: I can't let them eat you.

Delta Dawn: But...

Hadley: Come on! You gotta go!

Irene Dawn: [ushers the Trolls] Hurry! Go, go, go!

Hadley: Get out of here!

Delta Dawn: No! Hadley, if you go in there without us, you know what they'll do.

Hadley: I know.

Delta Dawn: But, Hadley...

Hadley: It's okay. It's okay, Delta. You showed me what it feels like to be happy. I never would have known if it wasn't for you. And I love you for that.

Delta Dawn: I love you too, Hadley. [they hug]

Chef Scorpio: Hadley!

Hadley: Go on, now. You have to hurry!

Delta Dawn: Come with us.

Hadley: And make it easier for them to find you? No way! You have to go. Now!

Delta Dawn: Hadley!

Hadley: Bye, Delta. [she goes inside she pushes the empty pot to the dining area]

Scorpions: Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!

Wilder: Wait! Chef, shouldn't we wait for Lottie Deno?

Chef Scorpio: You are absolutely right. Now, everyone, there will be no Trolls until... the mayor's plus one has arrived.

Scorpions: Boo! We've waited long enough!

Chef Scorpio: Unless...

Wilder: Unless, what?

Chef Scorpio: Well, unless she doesn't come at all. But that's crazy talk. Who wouldn't wanna be with you?

Wilder: Yeah. Maybe we should start.

Scorpions: Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Trolls! Yeah!

Courtney Dawn: Go! Come on. Hurry!

Delta Dawn: Come on. Everybody, let's go. No Troll runs alone!

Holly Darlin': Watch your step.

Courtney Dawn: Delta?

Holly Darlin': [sees Delta loooking back] Delta?

Delta Dawn: Hadley just ruined her life to save ours. It's not right! She deserves to be happy as much as we do. They all do!
