(The group start making their way through the hallways of the dragon's dark and spooky keep. Viva, John, Bruce, Clay, Poppy, and Branch are wary, while Floyd is downright terrified. Only an occasional torch lights the way. The passages are littered with bones, armor, and weapons, presumably belonging to the many unsuccessful knights who tried to rescue the princess)
Floyd: You afraid?
John Dory: No. But...SHHHHHH. (shushes Floyd)
Floyd: Oh, good. Me neither. (Get spooked and gasps) 'Cause there's nothing wrong with being afraid. Fear's a sensible response to an unfamiliar situation. Unfamiliar dangerous situation, I might add. With a dragon that breathes fire and eats knights and breathes fire. It sure doesn't mean you're a coward if you're a little scared. I sure as heck ain't no coward. I know that.
(Floyd crashes into a pile of knight remains, knocking over a skeleton whose helmet lands on Floyd's head. The skeleton head falls off and Floyd gasps)
John Dory: Floyd, 2 things, okay? Calm. Down. Now you and Poppy go over there and see if you can find any stairs. (grabs the helmet and puts it on)
Poppy: Stairs? I thought we was looking for the princess.
John Dory: (picking up pieces of armor) The princess will be up the stairs in the highest room in the tallest tower.
Bruce: What makes you think she'll be there?
John Dory: I read it in a book once. (walks off)
Poppy: Cool. You guys handle the dragon. Floyd and I'll handle the stairs. We'll find those stairs. I'll whip their butt too. Those stairs won't know which way they're going.
(John, his three brothers and Viva, now disguised as knights in shining armor walks off further into the castle. Floyd and Poppy wandered off in the opposite direction, Poppy still talking to, and pushes their way through a giant set of doors)
Poppy: I'm gonna take drastic steps. Kick it to the curb. Don't mess with me. I'm the stair master. I've mastered the stairs. I wish I had a step right here. I'd step all over it.
(Behind a broken wall, a giant eye opens to see an unaware Poppy and Floyd. Elsewhere, the five spots a light in the window of a tower)
Viva: Well, at least we know where the princess is.
John Dory: But where's the...
Poppy/Floyd: DRAGON!!!!!!
(Poppy and Floyd screamed and takes off running, narrowly dodging the dragon's fiery breath. The dragon chases after the two, stomping on the pile of knight remains in her way. The five Trolls turn around to see Poppy and Floyd barreling toward them with the dragon close behind the duo)
Viva: Poppy, look out!
(Viva manages to grab Poppy and Floyd out of the way with her sticky hands just as the dragon breathes another fireball. Poppy and Floyd drops to the floor to avoid another fireball. The dragon is just about to eat the group when John Dory grabs ahold of her tail)
John Dory: Got ya!
(The dragon begins to swing her tail back and forth with John Dory still holding on, then launches him into the air. John crashes through the roof of the tallest tower and into Delta's room. Delta wakes up and looks at him lying on the floor unconscious. The yellow and red striped dragon now focuses her attention on the others as they flee, her attention now onto Bruce, breathing fire at him and forcing him onto a stone bridge. The dragon knocks down portions of the bridge until Bruce is left staying on a lone pillar)
Bruce: No. Oh, no, No! (the dragon growls) Oh, what large teeth you have! (the dragon roars) I mean white, sparkling teeth!
(The dragon pauses, looks at him inquisitively, and then smiles. Bruce might just flatter his way out of becoming dragon food)
Bruce: I know you probably hear this all time from your food, but you must bleach, 'cause that is one dazzling smile you got there. Do I detect a hint of minty freshness?
(The dragon appears to be flattered by Bruce's compliments)
Bruce: And you know what else? You know what else? You're-- You're--
(The dragon leans forward and gazes at Bruce, revealing its long eyelashes and lipsticked mouth. Suddenly it was all clear to Bruce)
Bruce: --a girl dragon! Oh, sure! I mean, of course you're a girl dragon. You're just reeking of feminine beauty.
(The dragon flutters her eyes at him)
Bruce: What's the matter with you? You got something in your eye?
(Dragon blows a heart-shaped smoke ring at Bruce)
Bruce: Ohh. Oh. Oh. Man, I'd really love to stay, but you know, I'm, uh...(coughs) I'm an asthmatic, and I don't know if it'd work out if you're gonna blow smoke rings and stuff. Guys!
(Dragon picks him up by the back of his shirt in her mouth and happily carries him off)
Bruce: No! Bros! Bros! Bros!
