They arrive at an old abandoned golf course.

Branch: Are we sure this is where Clay lives?

Tiny Diamond: Are we sure? Our GPS is an armadillo bus sniffing used undies. So, no, we're not sure.

Spruce: (shivers) I think this is the place from every true crime podcast I've ever listened to.

Clown Head: Halt! Who goes there?

ALL: (screaming)

Clown Head: Who dares trespass on these sacred grounds?

Branch walks up to the clown head.

John Dory: Branch, what are you doing?

Branch: Listen, we don't want any clownrelated trouble, okay? We're just here looking for our brother Clay.

Clown Head: Wait a second. You're trolls?

Branch: So what? You're a clown.

A yellow ball comes out of the mouth

Branch: Whoa!

The ball turns into a Troll.

Viva: Oh, my gosh. Hello! (screams) My name is Viva! It is so "fantastamazing" to see other trolls.

She hugs everyone.

Viva: So, "fantastamazing" is my own personal word. It means, um, fantastic and amazing. I used to say "amastic," but then I was like, "Hmm, that's not as good."

Poppy: "Fantastamawesome."

Viva: That's different, but that works too. Way to make it your own.

Poppy: Is this how people feel when they meet me?

Branch: (whispers) Yes.

Viva: Am I being a lot? Sometimes I can be a lot.

Branch: (stammering) I'm not sure we're in the right place.

Viva: Course you're in the right place. Any troll is welcome here with us. Okay, PuttPutt trolls. Lights on for our new friends!

The gold course turns on.

Poppy: Wow.

Viva: Oh, my gosh. Are you guys hungry? Are you thirsty?

Tiny Diamond: Yes!

Viva: Fries? Fries! You guys want fries. I am seeing fries! Bring out the works! Milkshakes to celebrate! Coming in hot!

She rapidly drinks an entire milkshake.

Viva: Whoohoo! That's better. Now I finally have some energy!

She braids Poppy's hair.

Poppy: Did you just braid my hair?

Viva: You're welcome. It looks so good.

Poppy: I love it!

Spruce: Wow. These fries are amazing. They'd really go great with a burger.

Everyone starts screaming and running.

Spruce: What is happening?

Viva: Yeah, we try not to use that word around here. It's just that "burger" sounds a little too much like, uh... (whispers) "Bergens."

Clay: We call burgers... "meat circles."

Branch: Clay?

Spruce: (chuckling) Clay. Hey, what's up, man?

Clay: Hey! How you been, man?

John Dory: Clay!

Clay: Hmm. John.
