"ROLLI" "Lackey and Cacophony!" "The map and the sextant." "On my way, just a moment." "Here, your Grace." "Knobbly and Rolli, check the beach." "The beach?" "Rolli, it seems like my dream is coming true." "Help!" "There." "Silence!" "We don't know fear." "We are trolls." "Well said!" "That's right, we're terrible trolls." "Exactly." "Onwards now." "Bravely towards a foreign land!" "Wait!" "That was really well put." "'Towards a foreign land'." "Thank you!" "We're trolls looking for home" "You'd better watch out and bow" "A land where rivers of milk Can be found" "Where treasure chests Lie in the ground" "The trolls aren't afraid of wars" "We're heroes looking for Welcoming doors" "Flee!" "Into hiding!" "Into hiding!" "Strangers!" "Grass w on't grow Where trolls have been" "Our drums will terrify all enemies" "Lackey!" "Yes, Your Highness?" "Someone's snoring." "Over there." "Who's there?" "I don't believe this." "What sort of troll are you?" "Up from there!" "Well, isn't it just luscious." "And what's worse, it's even more precious over here." "Good day, good morning." "What lovely hair you have." "Look children, it's friendly." "Pass me my ocular." "Here you are, Chief." "I wonder if we're in Africa." "This is the moment I've been waiting for." "Finally I can say 0ur journey was not in vain." "There's a forest and a village, just as in my dream." "What kind of a village?" "Can you see any movement?" "There's no-one there." "Onwards!" "Goodbye." "Let's not rush now." "Sound the alarm!" "Sound the alarm!" "Sound the alarm!" "Sound the alarm!" "There..." "What is it?" "There are monsters coming this way." "They looked really horrendous." "Let's all just calm down." "Monsters don't exist." "Unless..." "Look, they're coming." "What shall we do?" "We'd better run." "Retreat!" "Oh dear, excuse me." "Isn't it slippery." "Careful children." "Don't step on any tails." "There's something strange about this silent village - and its four-legged inhabitants." "There's nothing strange about it." "This is exactly what our Chief saw in his dream, you fool." "There's something strange here." "Rolli!" "Where on earth do you think you're going again?" "You hairy faces can sleep side by side." "I want to loll in peace." "I've heard all that be fore!" "Go find yourself a place like the rest of us - and stop going solo, you hippie." "You think you're something special, don't you?" "Hey everybody, there's a sauna here!" "A sauna!" "It's horrifying and unpleasant and hot!" "A smoke sauna!" "Does it make your eyes sting?" "Great." "This is excellent!" "Upon my mud gruel and porridge!" "Home." "I shall make that my home." "Veggies..." "Nice." "What's he doing?" "Leave him be." "But this is your home." "Let's go." "You darned gadget, won't you just stop?" "Darned rattletrap." "Of all the things in this world." "Good morning." "Will you not stop, you darned thing?" "A very essential gadget but a bit annoying at times." "Is it nice?" "Yes, and lots more." "There's everything here." "This village is made for us." "Isn't it beautiful?" "So beautiful it's almost horrible!" "Terrible day to you, Your Horror." "Hello." "The eyepiece, does it work alright?" "Yes, I see well and clear." "Come on, Rolli." "Must go to work now." "My dearest adviser." "I feel my mission has been completed now." "Yes..." "You brought us to this new village - and you must be as tired as Moses, I understand that..." "That must have hurt!" "What's with those two?" "I've followed the life of the troll tribe - longer than any of you." "And, now I'm going to leave you." "My time has come." "Are you going to snuff it just like that?" "I'm going to rest." "The tribe leader has always carried this sceptre." "You must now choose a new leader." "A new Old Chief." "But choose wisely." "I must take my leave now." "What's going to become of us without you?" "Upon my filthy toes!" "What do my snotty eyes see?" "What on earth are you?" "Did you scoff up our Old Chief?" "Don't you dare wiggle your wattle, you winkle-eyed long neck!" "Of all the things in the world." "ln accordance to our old chief's wishes - we will have a just and democratic election " "and choose a new leader from amongst us." "There are two candidates for the post." "Applause, please." "Let me introduce the respected adviser - of our sorely missed Old Chief." "Lackey." "Wait a minute." "Why am I not mentioned?" "Surprisingly there's a new candidate for the post of Old Chief" " Big." "Let me go!" "That's right." "This time there's only one candidate for the post." "That's Big." "Wrong!" "I was a candidate for the post and I still am a candidate." "I most certainly am." "No, you're not." "No, you're not." "Yes, I am." "That hurt!" "Well, Knobbly." "Who will be the new Chief?" "Big, of course." "Exactly." "Fine, that's 1-0." "Earnest?" "Big." "Good." "Doc?" "Big." "Bluster?" "Big." "That's right." "Face?" "Big." "Right." "Merchant?" "Big." "This is not right, there's some mischief going on." "How about you, what do you think?" "You'd be a good choice, Cacophony." "Write that down." "But naturally I vote for Big." "Attention, attention!" "Don't you get it?" "You voters are being provoked and manipulated." "Your behaviour is being controlled." "Don't you get it?" "You fools, you pigheaded ugly twats!" "You can choose who you like." "You'll get what you deserve." "And you, you brainless boor - you thick-headed buck-eyed seal - you hairy-faced monster tyrant - can't you get it?" "That rat is using you, you idiot." "That's enough, I don't need to listen to this." "Oh dear, good heavens, goodness gracious me!" "Where have you been?" "I've been looking for you every where." "Have you now?" "Listen, I've witnessed a miracle." "The Old Chief turned into a bird-thing." "Oops, and he disappeared." "Another oops, and he was a bird." "You're the one who's a bird here, y0u magpie." "You didn't vote for me, you croaking hairy-eared gap-tooth." "And you call yourself my friend." "But I am your friend." "Bah." "What a nice hat you have there." "Is it a real turban?" "A turban..." "Oh, right..." "Trolls, you goggle-eyed creatures, show some respect for the new Chief." "Do act your rank, you elephant." "Your lovely big Grace, the headpiece only emphasises your status." "Like this." "A tad of dignity, if I may suggest." "Trolls, our new leader will make a speech now." "Speak." "Say something." "Is there a ruff in your throat, or what?" "Is that frog spawn in your throat?" "Swallow!" "Say something, do you hear?" "That's not very nice." "Far too nasty." "Absolutely." "Patience, please." "He's thinking." "Go on now, idiot." "Big guy and such a mute." "Speak." "Like a tall pine tree" "Standing so alone" "A troll withering, gathering moss" "His heart as hollow as hole" "Small ones won't dare to grin" "When a bigger man is singing" "They'd better try And save their skin" "If they're caught grinning" "Who dares?" "A troll's longing is dangerous His guts are practically smoking" "Where can he put all his loving?" "." "It's in his heart, it's bulging" "A troll's longing is dangerous His guts are practically smoking" "Where c an he put all his loving?" "." "It's in his heart, it's bulging" "A troll's longing is dangerous His guts are practically smoking" "I don't believe this!" "Stop your jumping and yodling." "Look, they're green." "What kind of creeps are you?" "We're sorry to bother you, fine strangers." "We'd like to show our hospitality with these modest gifts." "Creeps." "We ain't no creeps." "We're no creeps." "What?" "We are just regular elves." "We live in this village." "We welcome you to our forest and our village." "We've observed you from a far and come to the conclusion - that we could live as friends." "Shut up, freaky pixie." "We're trolls and this village is now ours." "There's no room for you." "Get out, go away!" "That's not fair." "What?" "Trolls, drive those disgusting wimpy pukes out of our village." "Shout and bellow and toss them about!" "Growl and bluster!" "You, fat boy, show them!" "Prance about, go on now!" "And you flakey..." "We understand." "We don't want a fight." "We'll leave." "Farewell then, you terrible trolls." "What weird creeps." "Buggery bug and all that." "Holy moly, they're elves living in the forest." "We find a home and it's somebody else's home." "Oh dear, oh dear..." "Old Chief goes away and turns into a turkey." "Cacophony gets a turban and Big becomes the new Chief." "Hop!" "Lift it up!" "Millie, stop." "Where are you off to?" "To the forest to see the trolls." "Listen." "You're brave and think the best of everyone - but those creatures are different." "Why would they want to hurt us?" "We haven't done anything to them." "They drove us from our own village." "There's room for all of us in the forest." "I'll talk some sense into them." "Millie the Elf." "Thank you." "Go." "Do the trolls really think - they can scare me off with something like this?" "You darned thing." "Won't you be quiet, you darned contraption?" "Darned gadget, be quiet!" "Hullo!" "Now we have you, you green thing!" "Aha, I hear the wind in the willows." "Oh right, big guy." "Give it to me, darling." "Catch!" "Hey, what's up?" "Catch her!" "Move it, fatty." "Get a move on!" "Out with the flab, get her!" "You smelly elf, we got you now." "Who dares to disturb my serious thoughts?" "What..?" "Hi." "A muddy tangle-haired thing?" "Could I have some water?" "Well, why not?" "You look like a decent enough fellow." "Slurp up." "No, I meant that I'd like to wash my face." "You're joking, right?" "Jeez, trolls don't wash." "My goodness, you're pretty." "Were you born that way or did you have an accident?" "What sort of creature are you any way?" "I'm Millie, Millie the Elf." "Don't you remember me?" "I for one remember you well." "I thought that maybe the two of us could be friends." "Don't you know that us terrible trolls - could never socialize with nice creatures?" "Get out of here, before someone sees you!" "I think you're nice." "Nice..." "How can you be so daft?" "Go on, get out now!" "I haven't seen a thing, I've been sound asleep all the time." "How can you sleep in the middle of a day?" "I've always been good in bed." "Off you go now!" "You've got a cold." "I'll make you some lichen tea..." "No, you most certainly will not!" "Just get out." "How about lizard's tail soup?" "Can you make lizard's tail soup?" "Go on, have some gruesome gourmet, slimy and wobbly." "Listen..." "Yes?" "This house is my home." "My own..." "Home sweet home." "Where's your appetite?" "Why can't you trolls and us elves live together in harmony?" "That's just the way it is." "What?" "You elves have different habits than us trolls." "I bet you dance and hug each other." "Why do you say that?" "Watch." "Like this." "Sludge..." "Smells like elves." "That way, brothers!" "This, nice!" "Tip tap tip tap tipe tipe tip tap" "Christmas brownies on their toes On their toes" "They're dancing!" "I think you're very nice." "Bah, nice." "What are you staring at?" "Drag him out of there." "What's going on?" "Do something!" "Stay put." "My trousers, they're dropping!" "Save the box and the food - and the clocks, the coat and the grinder." "Get out of my way!" "Good day to all, good day to all" "To all men and women as well" "Stop, you garlic-breath turncoat!" "And that stinking elf, too!" "My tail is getting wet." "Onwards!" "Hurry up, Millie!" "I'll go first." "Watch out, Millie!" "Come here, you hairy ears!" "They're coming." "There they are, there they are hanging!" "And easily over." "Swinging!" "Stop, come here." "Well done, Millie." "Just you wait, and I'll feather you." "That's some great swinging." "Take the rope." "Don't wobble the line!" "Don't swing, you twat." "Float, fat boy." "I've got a fish bone in my throat." "I'm exhausted." "You folks are nothing but trouble." "One shouldn't socialize with elves, all I got was torn trousers." "Here you are." "I'm sorry for causing you trouble, Rolli." "What are you looking at?" "I feel something." "I feel I know a lot of things, too." "You're so out of it, you're almost walking into trees." "Silly you." "Millie, let's not go there." "Let's get out of here." "Are you scared?" "Listen, I've seen folks coming here to sit in peace." "It's not normal." "Our Old Chief just sat over there like a mushroom." "This is an ancient resting place." "It's not normal to rest one moment - and turn into a bird the next." "Listen." "Bah." "What's this here contraption?" "This is a pair of scales." "Oh bugger." "Scales!" "A lot of screwing and hammering has gone into that." "Who are you?" "I'm Master of the Scales." "How do you do?" "How do you do, I guess." "Such a comfy place." "Must be expensive." "What do you measure with this?" "Do you like birds?" "I'll show you." "They're lovely." "They like you." "Do you like birds, too?" "I don't really know." "They can turn into any odd thing - or you can turn into one yourself." "There's something fishy going on here." "This is becoming a little too weird." "There's something familiar about that bird." "I'll leave even if you don't." "Let's go." "Is the tube broken for good?" "Water..." "I don't believe this." "It's Rolli!" "Wake up!" "Peace, brothers." "Where's the elf, you traitor?" "What elf?" "I've got you now." "What's up, Big?" "You're in for a good spanking." "Come and fight, you plums!" "Catch her!" "Should I go home now?" "I've had enough commotion for one day." "Well put." "This has nothing to do with me." "Here's one for you, and here, and here." "Come here!" "Well?" "What is it?" "What's keeping me awake?" "Must be a full moon coming up." "Alright, brothers!" "We'll sling the alien back to the elf camp - but first I must make some calculations." "Relation of mass to initial velocity or was it the other way around?" "Hey you ugly thing, how much do you weigh?" "It's rude to ask a girl's weight." "Have a guess." "Fine, we'll just test it and if it goes wrong, we'll test it again." "Are you ready, Knobbly?" "Sure, I'm alway s ready." "Here we go then." "Ready... now!" "That fell a bit short." "We must increase the momentum - and change the direction more to the left." "That'll give the elf a good ride." "That's nice." "Mangare..." "Put the pot on, our leader's hungry." "He who meddles in other's affairs, digs his own grave." "Oh grief and misery, this won't end well." "Do I hear bells now" "And lightning from the sky?" "Have we at our service" "Gods of rock and stone?" "I know all the routes Of fire and ice" "We aren't here to lose" "Oh no, we won't lose" "I summon shadows and cold ice" "Have I got power" "More than others have?" "Do I rule the sky" "And stars and the moon?" "I know all the routes Of fire and ice" "We aren't here to lose" "Oh no, we won't lose" "I summon shadows and cold ice" "Unbelievable." "No-one's ever knocked Big out." "Rolli the Great, here's the sceptre." "You're our new leader." "I'm your humble servant." "Right..." "I've been expecting you." "I'm sorry to bother you." "I feel that things are not quite right in the forest." "So I decided to come and ask for help." "Look at the scales." "They measure good and evil." "I always carry them with me." "Do you really live in this cottage?" "In the forest?" "I was just passing by - but I stayed because I'm worried about you all." "What are the birds, then?" "They're my friends." "They tell me what's going on in the forest." "Would you like to help me?" "We could work together to balance the scales." "If evil conquers the world - a darkness will veil the forest." "An eternal darkness." "What can I do?" "Talk to your friend." "You could calm him down and make him listen." "Tell him to act so that everyone in the forest can live in peace." "Go." "How's this, Your Highness?" "Is it nice?" "Feels good, it's nice." "I could be your adviser now that you're in such a high position." "I'm sure you need trustworthy advice from a reliable source." "Good advice is priceless." "And the price is rarely right." "But I might make you my adviser." "Thank you." "Holy moly!" "You can say that again." "Now I've seen it all." "I agree." "What do you say?" "Great stick, eh?" "Where did you barmy bird get that?" "Show a little respect, please." "I shall go and have a rest in my chambers." "Goodbye, subjects." "And a subject." "I simply must ask you brainiacs - what sort of nonsense is this?" "Is this some..?" "Go blow your horn, you trumpet." "Not in the face." "What an idiot." "Oh, it's you disturbing my sleep." "Thank you, Rolli." "I'm being eaten alive here!" "You are so brave." "Without you, I would have been in serious trouble." "Never mind that, there's nothing to mind." "Perhaps you could call me Rolli the Great from now on." "You're not any greater than be fore." "I guess you don't know yet - that I've become the leader of the trolls." "I'm a great emperor, the conqueror of Big Troll!" "I dance like a butterfly and sting like a bee!" "Pretty amazing." "Congratulations, Rolli." "Rolli the Great." "What will you do first?" "I might take a little nap." "Now you've got a chance to make things right in the forest." "The elves aren't doing well in the camp." "The beach is not our home." "Can't we move back to the forest?" "There's enough room for all of us." "Difficult, difficult..." "My head aches." "You can take real responsibility for the first time in your life." "I can't be expected to do that." "I'm far too young, I'm barely 400." "Besides, what do elves' problems have to do with me?" "Good day." "Some people have Nothing but air in their head" "Fool leading fools How else would it be" "No good teaching etiquette Better just to quit" "We don't know what forks are for" "We don't wear slippers at dawn" "If you don't cease that infernal racket " "I'll throw you into the pond and feed you to herrings." "Or worse still, to piranhas." "Or worse still, I'll feed you my old socks so that you'll choke on them." "How would you like that?" "Stop!" "Power is great." "Let go, my friend." "Let me down, you fool." "Good day my friend, how are you today?" "I'm not your friend." "I don't need to be anymore." "I choose my own friends." "Who am I again?" "You're Rolli the Great, your Grace." "Stop your shrieking, Cacophony, I need to speak to you." "What is it?" "I'm practicing my new song." "Let me practice in peace, you muddle-headed carol singer." "Don't you call me names." "You should bow be fore me." "That's a good one." "You're killing me!" "Can we come to your humble abode?" "Sure, come in." "You shall compose a song about me." "Why of course, no problem." "I'd like to talk to you in private, if that's okay." "Big, leave us for a minute, will you?" "Out!" "You buffalo." "Rolli." "I'm your best friend, aren't I?" "Couldn't we agree that you give the sceptre to me - and we decide to make me responsible for the tribe - as was the original idea." "Remember what the Old Chief said." "He told us to choose wisely." "And then that bigheaded idiot deprived me of a clear victory." "That's all true, but when will you write my song?" "I'll write an operetta, liberetta, retretta and potpourri about you - if you give that sceptre to the only cultivated, sophisticated - and tender-hearted troll." "Give me the sceptre, I'm the King of the troll tribe." "Be sensible and give it to me." "Thank you for your hospitality." "Friend, all you want is my sceptre." "My sceptre!" "Millie!" "Millie the Elf!" "Millie!" "Thanks for the ride." "If you see Millie the Elf, please tell her I said hello." "Have a good day." "By the hair of my ears..." "Being a leader is a lonely job." "And where on earth is that elf?" "You thieving elves, dreaming spindleshanks - nothing but robbers and thieves!" "Alarm, alarm!" "Thieving elves around!" "My veggie patch has been robbed!" "Where's my adviser?" "These jerks do nothing but lounge around." "I never have time for that." "Get here, quick!" "I heard your call, sir." "The elves have been thieving from my garden patch." "Indeed, they're nothing but trouble." "We must take action." "But really..." "Isn't that a little too terrible?" "Isn't it finally time to scare them just a little bit?" "Isn't it?" "Well said!" "We'll grimace and frighten the elves out of the forest." "As far as..." "To where the peppercorn grows." "Listen, drums of war." "It's the trolls." "I know their new leader." "We'll be fine." "We can't negotiate with them." "And stars and the moon" "We own the signs Of fire and ice" "We aren't here to lose" "Oh no, we won't lose" "I summon shadows and cold ice" "Hurry, hurry." "Who's that smiling?" "Hop, hop, hop..." "Rolli!" "Hop, hop." "Rolli the Great!" "Well, Millie the Bush." "Don't you see this is not a good time to be seen with you?" "This has gone too far." "How so?" "Master of the Scales warned me." "The scales have started to turn." "Everything's turning nowadays." "Everything's turning, turning turning turning" "I fear we will all be in great danger." "Silly silly and sally sally." "Master of the Scales said that if evil wins - eternal darkness will fall upon the forest." "Well, isn't he so wise and clever." "And lovely." "This is getting serious." "Look!" "Don't panic, my dear elves." "We must stay calm." "Trashy trolls, hairy-faced good-for-nothings - let's show the elves who's who." "My proud Rolli-troops!" "In a moment I shall fire up a flare." "We shall then attack and scare the elves out of their wits." "We shall scream and wreak havoc and grimace terrifyingly." "Well, shouldn't we be attacking them already?" "Go Big, that's great." "There's no need to go to extremes!" "One should be careful with that rattletrap." "Someone might get hurt." "Isn't it about time we attacked." "That way, then it'll fall in the sea and go out." "Go out..." "Trickity trick and oops." "Oops!" "Halt the attack!" "Oh horror of horrors, such a new tent and all ablaze." "Flee, flee!" "Run!" "Halt the attack!" "Millie, I'm coming to help!" "I'm coming!" "Rolli!" "Rolli!" "Watch out, behind you!" "It's getting dark here, fantastic." "Do you miss your friend?" "Just a little, not too much." "Not too much?" "What do you most wish for, Rolli?" "Is Millie now going to turn into one of those wagtails or finches?" "Is this all turning into a feathery tale?" "ls Millie now dead?" "I'd like her as an elf." "As an elf..." "Wasn't it you trolls - who wanted to drive the elves and forest animals to..." "To where the peppercorn grows." "Exactly." "Aren't all living creatures equal?" "Equally worthy and important." "Do you see, Rolli the Great, that darkness has fallen?" "If the light of the sun disappears, all life will be gone." "What can I do to make things as they were and to get Millie back?" "You know what to do." "Good day or night, or whatever it is." "No need to greet me." "You too, you vulture." "You gloat and poop on me." "I feel bad enough as it is." "Do you miss your friend?" "." "Not too much?" "What do you most wish for?" "." "You know what to do." "Aren't all living creatures equal?" "." "Don't you remember me?" "I thought the two of us could be friends." "I'm glad you're there as an elf and not as a willow tit." "I was afraid you had turned into a bird." "That you'd be dead." "Look here." "Wouldn't you wake up." "Wouldn't you please wake up." "I'm so sorry, Millie." "I miss you." "I would have liked to have been your friend." "Rolli!" "Fair maiden walks through the woods" "Her heart pounding in her chest" "She wears a necklace round her neck" "It's a beautiful gift" "A boy waits for her impatiently" "A similar jewel on his neck" "The girl comes along the path" "They meet again" "Let the party begin Under the moon" "Let the party begin The ground echoes with joy" "Let's dance under the chain of stars" "Let the party begin On a bright night" "Hey, let me come down, I promise to be good." "Can you hear me?" "Let me come down, I can sing along." "La la la" "The space so vast and immeasurable" "Reflecting on our friends' eyes" "Waves dancing ashore" "Drops glisten on their faces" "A high cliff reaches for the night" "Let the party begin Under the moon" "Let the party begin The ground echoes with joy" "Let's dance under the chain of stars" "Let the party begin On a bright night" "That's the way life is, right?"
