You know what? I'm done playing the heartthrob. My exquisitely chiseled rock hard abs and I quit!
I am happy to give you an autograph or whatever, but can you please be discreet about it?
More lines from Spruce/Bruce
8 quotesYeah. I wanted to put the whole boy band thing behind me now that I'm a dad.
Oh. Well, yeah, you need the "perfect family harmony" for that.
Oh, I was in a band. I was in the band.
These fries are amazing. They'd really go great with a burger. [everyone screams, confusing him] Whaaaaat is happening?
You love bossing us around. Just admit it.
Don't be a baby, Branch.
Come on, man. Wake up. Wake up, Floyd!
Scenes with Spruce/Bruce
5 scenesOh, my kids love these guys. We’re a total Veneer household.
They’re the ones who have Floyd!
Ugh. It's gonna be hard to separate the art from the artist.
Hug time!
Uhhh……
Yeah... no...
Aw, so cute. Where'd you get that hug time bracelet?
My dad gave it to me.
Okay, this is so totally random, but I used to have one just like it. Can I see that?
Wow. It fits you perfectly.
Yeah. [traces a circle around it with a finger and it shimmers a little]
Whoa.
I'm sorry. What did you say your name was again?
I'm Poppy. [extends her hand out towards Viva]
Poppy?
Okay, um, another totally random, weird question, but is your dad King Peppy?
Uh, yeah?
You're.... you're---you're alive!
I'm alive!
This is unbelievable! I never thought I’d see you again.
Again?
Poppy, it's me. Viva.
Uh....
I'm your sister.
My... my what?
Your sister. Your hermana.
Woah.
Come on, man! Am I the only one without a long-lost sibling?
Stop. Stop. Time-out. Let's do it again from the top. Spruce, I want some smolder in those eyes. Clay, you're being too stiff. We need some sillier robot. Bitty B, maybe a smaller diaper.
If this diaper was any smaller, I could taste it.
That's why I don't wear one of those. It's a hard fit to pull off.
Really great note, John Dory. Super helpful. Thanks. Thanks. Now I have a creative note for you. Stop being bossy!
What? I'm not being bossy. I'm helping us be better.
No. No, dude, you're forcing us to be perfect, just like you always have, so we can hit the perfect family harmony.
Yeah, for Floyd!
Is it? Or is this all just so you can tell people what to do again?
Wh-What?
Guys, guys, this really isn't helpful right now. Let's all maybe take five, huh?
This isn't gonna work if you keep on being the same old John Dory.
Yeah. We've all changed. Bruce settled down, Branch is slightly taller with zero glasses and I'm a licensed CPA. Put some respect on my name, fool!
Well, I'm not allowed to change. I'm the oldest. I had to be the leader.
You love bossing us around. Just admit it.
Why do you think I moved to the middle of nowhere? So I didn't have to be in charge of anyone. Four little brothers is a lot of responsibility!
Why do you think I left? So no one would treat me like you did.
You know what, Spruce...
It's Bruce!
Thank you, Clay!
Guys, we can't forget about Floyd.
Look, Branch is right. We're here for Floyd. Let's just get this done, and we can go our separate ways.
Fine.
Wait. What?
What? The mission's the mission. You didn't think we'd all live together when this was all over, did you? Singing songs and roasting marshmallows?
Oh. I’m sorry. Is that funny to you? That I might want us to actually be a family again? [takes out his bunker plans and looks down at them] Tiny Diamond, pull over now.
Don't be a baby, Branch.
You're mad at him but you guys do the exact same thing to me. You all still treat me like the baby of the family. But guess what?! I stopped being a baby the day you guys walked out on me because I had to. Then Grandma got eaten and there was no one else to take care of me. [crumples his bunker plans up and throws them on the floor] This time I'm walking out on you! [Branch turns and storms out of the van without looking back]
This is Branch’s bunker. He built this for you guys.
I didn’t know.
I guess you never asked.
Wait. Grandma got eaten?
Floyd.
Come on, man. Wake up. Wake up, Floyd!
We need you, brother. [Poppy and Viva watch this from here with sad looks on their faces]
Oh no!
I... I built the hideout, Floyd. Except for the ten story water slide.
But.... how will we shower?
Floyd!
Floyd?
Yeah!
Yes!
Floyd! No way! Oh, yeah! [laughs]
Listen up, Mount Rageons. We...are...FRAUDS! [the crowd gasps, and Velvet looks at him in shock] And we've been literally torturing little trolls. [the crowd gasps again as Veneer grabs and holds a camera] We just wanted to be famous. Honestly, my sister wanted to be famous and, truly, I was too afraid to stand up to her.
It's like I don't even know who you are!
Yeah, you do. And you asked me to change, anyway, which isn't okay, family or not. [Floyd smiles at him, as he smiles back at him. Crimp suddenly places handcuffs on Velvet's thumbs]
Crimp! What are you doing?! [Crimp also places handcuffs on Veneer's thumbs]
I was just saying I had a change of heart.
You also engaged in troll-napping, troll torture, fraud... [shrugs, snickering sheepishly]
And tax evasion. [takes out a pen and clipboard] I'm going to have to repossess your yacht.
Fair enough. Prison it is! [Crimp snaps her fingers, then two security guards show up. Veneer smugly smiles and Velvet scowls with rage while the guards escort them both away]
Wow, this is liberating!
So, how you feeling?
Happy, grateful and really sorry it's taken me this long to open up to you.
Whoa, TMI. Boundaries, my man. That is a lot of feelings.
Uh... What just happened?
Oh. Viva just braided your hair. [the camera pans out to reveal Branch's hair is braided] It means she likes you.
That means I like you!
What's up? You got the pre-show jitters?
I can't believe that we almost missed out on all this. We may not be the new kids on the block anymore, but I'm loving this new edition of us.
You know, I'm really glad those 98 degrees of separation are behind us.
Just as long as we're together.
Mm. Hey. You guys got to try this menudo.
