The following is a transcript for the episode "Funder Construction".
Script[]
(Poppy and Guy Diamond ride on a Flyer Bug and jump off it and into his pod.)
Guy Diamond: And I auto-tuned for the first time, but it was kinda like a half auto-tune. (He sees that Tiny Diamond has made a blanket fort.) Aw. Poppy, look. It appears my Tiny has built his first blanket fort.
Poppy: Aw. It is so precious watching little kids take on their “grown-up building projects.” (She laughs as she and Guy Diamond crawl into the fort.) Hello? Anybody ho- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! (We see that the fort is very fancy and has many furniture. Tiny Diamond turns around on a chair wearing a blue housecoat and reading a newspaper.)
Tiny Diamond: Daddy, Auntie P, welcome to my humble abode.
Poppy: Tiny? You built all of this out of blankets?!
Guy Diamond: It’s magnificent!
Tiny Diamond: (Chuckling as he gets off his chair) Well, it’s not much, but I think of it as home. (He hears an oven beeping.) Ah! (He goes to the oven and takes out a batch of cookies.) Cookies, anyone?
Poppy: Ooh. (She takes a cookie and eats it.) Well, it looks like the Diamond family has another blanket architect in the making. I always knew Tiny took after you, Guy.
Guy Diamond: Yes, the glitter doesn’t fall far from the fart. (chuckles)
Tiny: Huh? What do you mean, Daddy?
Guy Diamond: (As he picks up Tiny Diamond) Well, my boy, we come from a long line of expert blanket fort builders. The tradition goes all the way back to your great grandfather…
Tiny Diamond: My daddy’s daddy’s daddy, Daddy?
Guy Diamond: Mm-hm. (He takes out a family history book.) For generations, the Diamonds have constructed some of the world’s most famous blanket landmarks like… The Leaning Tower of Fleece-a. The Taj Ma-shawl! And of course, my own master work… The Guy-ffel Tower…
Tiny Diamond: (Taking the family history book) Whoa, Daddy! Give me an eyeful of that Guy-ffel! I just can’t believe everything our family has accomplished…
Guy Diamond: Yes, every Diamond has possessed the vision to bend destiny to their will and build structures that would stand until the end of time! Or, you know, until it got chilly and they needed the blankets back. (shivers)
Tiny Diamond: “Every Diamond”? (He goes over to a blanket hanging like a flag.)
Guy Diamond: What are you doing?
Tiny Diamond: Starting anew, Daddy! (He pulls the blanket and his fort falls down.) The 411 on my heritage has inspired me to build something to establish my place among the Diamonds of yore… and I’m gonna call it… (He shows a blueprint for his blanket fort.) … Plaza de Tiny! But do not be fooled. There’s nothing de Tiny about it.
Guy Diamond: A blanket skyscraper?
Poppy: 52 floors? Four cableknit elevators? An indoor swimming pool carved from pure afghan?!
Guy Diamond: Nothing like it has ever been attempted, son! How would you even find enough blankets for a structure of this scale?
Tiny Diamond: Simple, Daddy. By having the vision and determination to bend destiny to my will. (That night, he is on a stage with the blueprint and some Trolls come over to it.)
Poppy: (offscreen) And so, Tiny set off to build a blanket tower that would make history, which meant asking for help from John Cute Public.
Tiny Diamond: My fellow daddy’s friends! Donate one and all, your quilts and comforters, your doilies and duvets… and together we shall make history! (The Trolls take blankets out of their hair and chair as they throw them onto the stage. The next day, Vibe Town sends blankets into Tiny Diamond’s wagon. Cloud Guy puts his socks onto the blanket pile. Tiny Diamond takes a towel from Branch’s shower.)
Branch: Hey!
Poppy: (offscreen) Soon, it was clear that nothing would stop this Tiny Titan of Industry! (Synth comes out of the water.)
Synth: Yo! (He throws wet blankets onto the beach.) Ha-ha!
Tiny Diamond: Uh, hate to be a wet blanket, but no wet blankets. (Synth groans sadly goes back underwater. Soon, there are many piles of blankets.)
Guy Diamond: My my! Look at that supply of blankets!
Tiny Diamond: Boom! Now all I need is the right location, the clearing near the southwest root of the Trolls Tree.
Guy Diamond: The southwest route? But, Tiny, there’s already a structure there.
Tiny Diamond: Oh, Daddy, that can change. I’ve just gotta negotiate… (At Sky Toronto’s Funtime Factory, he is taking notes. Tiny Diamond opens the door to his office.)
Sky: Leave us. (His assistant nervously leaves his office.)
Tiny Diamond: Daddy’s business friend, let’s cut to the cream filling: I want you to move the Funtime Factory to make space for my blanket project.
Sky: Mr. Diamond, I’ve negotiated deals with the best: confetti tycoons, frosting magnetes, even “Big Piñata.” And I always come out on top.
Tiny Diamond: That may be. But I’m prepared to make you an offer no Troll can refuse. (He throws a note toward Sky.)
Sky: “Please?” (Tiny Diamond smiles. Later, some helicopters move the Funtime Factory away. Sky then gets on the ladder from one of them.) Kid drives a hard bargain.
Tiny Diamond: Now… if y’all wanna advance the progress of Trolls kind by undertaking a great architectural enterprise, make some noise! (He blows his airhorns and the Trolls cheer. Then they start building Tiny Diamond’s blanket skyscraper. As they do, Tiny Diamond sings Build It Up.)
(Tiny Diamond)
Come on! Yeah!
(Chorus)
He’s building up
(Tiny Diamond)
I’m building up
(Chorus)
Not gonna stop
(Tiny Diamond)
Not gonna stop
(Chorus)
Higher and higher
(Tiny Diamond)
Higher and higher
(Chorus)
Straight to the top
(Tiny Diamond)
Yeah, straight to the top
I want a fort
So I’m building it
Bigger than any one of you
Seen and I’m killing it
It’s gonna be 52 stories
Pool deck high tech
All that glory
It’s gonna be sleek,
It’s gonna be shiny
It’s gonna be top notch
Watch like Tiny
Fort builder to date
Got the style,
Got the will,
Got the brains and
I’m building up
(Chorus)
Not gonna stop
(Tiny Diamond)
Not gonna stop
(Chorus)
Higher and higher
(Tiny Diamond)
Higher and higher
(Chorus)
Straight to the top
(Tiny Diamond)
Straight to the top
(Chorus)
He’s building up
(Tiny Diamond)

(Chorus)
Not gonna stop
(Tiny Diamond)
Never gonna stop
(Chorus)
Higher and higher
(Tiny Diamond)
Higher and higher
(Chorus)
Straight to the top
Tiny Diamond: Break time! (He blows a whistle and the Trolls get under blankets and fall asleep. After a while, his blanket skyscraper is nearly built.)
Guy Diamond: Tiny, it’s a triumph.
Tiny Diamond: That’s right, Daddy! With a few more weeks of construction, my vision’ll be straight up realized. Ain’t nobody gonna slow my roll.
Poppy: Um, Tiny? I need to… slow your roll?
Guy and Tiny Diamond: Huh?
Poppy: It’s the TrollsTopians. They didn’t realize construction would take this long. You see, this afternoon is Picnic Palooza and… well, they need their blankets back. (Some Trolls run to a blanket pile to find their blankets. A light blue male Pop Troll runs by.)
Pop Troll #1: Where’s my blanket?! (He jumps into a laundry vehicle and it turns on.) Whoooooaaa!
Guy Diamond: Not… Blanket-backsies? Ugh. It’s a risk all blanketmen must face.
Tiny Diamond: Oh, snap! My still-developing, 1-year-old brain cannot cope with such unseen complications. (Guy Diamond puts a hand on his son’s back.)
Guy Diamond: I’m so sorry, son. I know how hard it must be not to finish your vision.
Tiny Diamond: Not finish?! No. Hold up, y’all. If y’all gimme till this afternoon to complete Plaza de Tiny, I promise to return your blankets before you start palooz-ing! (The Trolls murmur to each other.)
Pop Troll #1: Sounds… fair… to me.
Guy Diamond: This afternoon? But, Tiny, you can’t possibly do all that work in time.
Tiny Diamond: Oh, yes, I can, Daddy. If I cut some corners. (Soon, the Trolls get back to work.) Fold, tuck, drape! Come on, team! Go faster for real! You, not so many clothes pins. Just one per blanket and call it good! And you, hurry up! (He runs over to a yellow male Pop Troll, who is struggling to fold a sheet.) How hard is it to fold a fitted sheet?! (He tries to fold the sheet, but fails.) OK, that’s really hard. (He rolls up the sheet.) Just use this. (The yellow male Pop Troll runs off.)
Guy Diamond: Tiny, please. You’re compromising the strength of the structure. Just look. (He takes out a blueprint of the pool.) Your plans called for the pool to be carved from reinforced afghan… but those are thread-bare bumper sheets! You’ve got to stop!
Tiny Diamond: (Taking the blueprint of the pool) Not until the Plaza de Tiny is done, Daddy! (He uses the blueprint as a megaphone.) Hit me with that H2O! (Some Flyer Bugs appear with a big bucket of water and pour it into the pool.) Yeah! Now that’s what I’m talking about! (He blows his airhorns.) Heeeeey, oooooooh! (Suddenly, the structure shakes.) Oh, snap. (The pool cracks and the water flows off the structure, causing it to wobble. The Trolls on it scream in terror. The structure starts to fall. Poppy, Synth, and three male Pop Trolls watch in disbelief and start to fall over.)
Poppy: The water has made the fabric wobbly!
Synth: Oh. That’s why don’t use wet blankets. A’ight, cool!
Guy Diamond: Everyone get out! (Two Flyer Bugs bring down vines to save a yellow and red male Pop Troll and they grab onto them. Guy Diamond gasps and sees Tiny Diamond still working on the structure.) Tiny! You have to come now, son!
Tiny Diamond: No, Daddy! I have to keep going! (The structure collapses some more, causing him and Guy Diamond to fall screaming. Luckily, they grab onto sheets shaped like ropes.) Oh!
Guy Diamond: (Seeing how high he is) Aah! (Tiny Diamond starts climbing the sheets.)
Tiny Diamond: I have to… keep… building!
Guy Diamond: Tiny, stop! No, you don’t!
Tiny Diamond: Yes, I do! I have to build something the world has never seen before!
Guy Diamond: But why?!
Tiny Diamond: Because if I don’t… I’m not a Diamond.
Guy Diamond: Not a Diamond?
Tiny Diamond: (with tears in his eyes) It’s like you said, “Every Diamond built structures that would stand until the end of time.” So, if I don’t do that, how can I be one of them? (Sniffs)
Guy Diamond: Tiny Diamond. Young man, you listen to me, and you listen good because I have something you need to hear. First of all, the things the Diamonds of the past did took them their entire lifetimes If they caught one glimpse of what you’ve accomplished as a child… it would blow the hair right off their heads. (Tiny Diamond sniffs and wipes a tear.) And second of all, and way, way more importantly, none of that matters! I don’t care if you build a thousand skyscrapers, or if you never touch another blanket again, you are always a Diamond. Because You are my son.
Tiny Diamond: Dang, Daddy. That hits Tiny Diamond right here. You wanna bounce? (He takes his father’s hand.) Daddy and Tiny out! (He and his father let go of the sheets.)
Guy Diamond: Whoooooo! (He and Tiny Diamond use their hair as parachutes. The structure falls along with Poppy, Synth, and the three male Pop Trolls.)
All: Whoa! (They laugh as the blankets fall over them and they get up.)
Synth: Let’s Palooza, people! (He and the others leave with some blankets while Guy and Tiny Diamond are still floating in the air.)
Tiny Diamond: Well, I guess that’s the end of the Plaza de Tiny. Fortunately, I’ve got an idea to build a new blanket structure, near the south east root of the Trolls Tree!
Guy Diamond: The south east root? But didn’t another structure just move there? (Tiny Diamond comes back to the Funtime Factory.)
Sky: Leave that to us. (Tiny Diamond smiles at the camera and the episode ends.)
