Spruce/Bruce

You know what? I'm done playing the heartthrob. My exquisitely chiseled rock hard abs and I quit!

Spruce/Bruce

Yeah. I wanted to put the whole boy band thing behind me now that I'm a dad.

Spruce/Bruce

Oh. Well, yeah, you need the "perfect family harmony" for that.

Spruce/Bruce

These fries are amazing. They'd really go great with a burger. [everyone screams, confusing him] Whaaaaat is happening?

Spruce/Bruce

You love bossing us around. Just admit it.

Scenes with Spruce/Bruce

5 scenes
Bruce

Oh, my kids love these guys. We’re a total Veneer household.

John Dory

They’re the ones who have Floyd!

Bruce

Ugh. It's gonna be hard to separate the art from the artist.

Viva

Hug time!

Bruce
[John Dory opens his arms, expecting a hug]

Uhhh……

Clay

Yeah... no...

Viva
[John Dory looks down, sad]

Aw, so cute. Where'd you get that hug time bracelet?

Poppy

My dad gave it to me.

Viva

Okay, this is so totally random, but I used to have one just like it. Can I see that?

Poppy
[takes her bracelet off and puts it on Viva's wrist]

Wow. It fits you perfectly.

Viva
[examines it]

Yeah. [traces a circle around it with a finger and it shimmers a little]

Poppy

Whoa.

Viva
[soft chuckle]

I'm sorry. What did you say your name was again?

Poppy

I'm Poppy. [extends her hand out towards Viva]

Viva

Poppy?

Viva

Okay, um, another totally random, weird question, but is your dad King Peppy?

Poppy

Uh, yeah?

Viva

You're.... you're---you're alive!

Poppy
[confused]

I'm alive!

Viva

This is unbelievable! I never thought I’d see you again.

Poppy
[still confused]

Again?

Viva

Poppy, it's me. Viva.

Poppy

Uh....

Viva

I'm your sister.

Poppy

My... my what?

Viva

Your sister. Your hermana.

Branch

Woah.

Tiny Diamond

Come on, man! Am I the only one without a long-lost sibling?

John Dory

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.

Branch

If this diaper was any smaller, I could taste it.

Tiny Diamond

That's why I don't wear one of those. It's a hard fit to pull off.

Clay

Really great note, John Dory. Super helpful. Thanks. Thanks. Now I have a creative note for you. Stop being bossy!

John Dory

What? I'm not being bossy. I'm helping us be better.

Clay

No. No, dude, you're forcing us to be perfect, just like you always have, so we can hit the perfect family harmony.

John Dory

Yeah, for Floyd!

Bruce

Is it? Or is this all just so you can tell people what to do again?

John Dory

Wh-What?

Poppy

Guys, guys, this really isn't helpful right now. Let's all maybe take five, huh?

Bruce

This isn't gonna work if you keep on being the same old John Dory.

Clay

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!

John Dory

Well, I'm not allowed to change. I'm the oldest. I had to be the leader.

Bruce

You love bossing us around. Just admit it.

John Dory

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!

Bruce

Why do you think I left? So no one would treat me like you did.

John Dory

You know what, Spruce...

Clay

It's Bruce!

Bruce

Thank you, Clay!

Branch

Guys, we can't forget about Floyd.

John Dory

Look, Branch is right. We're here for Floyd. Let's just get this done, and we can go our separate ways.

Clay

Fine.

Branch

Wait. What?

John Dory

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?

Branch

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.

Bruce
[Rhonda lurched to a stop, and Poppy, John Dory, Clay and Bruce stumble in response]

Don't be a baby, Branch.

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]

Poppy
[walks over and picks up the paper before straightening it out and looks down at it]

This is Branch’s bunker. He built this for you guys.

John Dory

I didn’t know.

Poppy

I guess you never asked.

Clay

Wait. Grandma got eaten?

Branch
[After Floyd “dies”, he floats down and is caught by Branch, who is in tears as he sets him down on the floor of the yacht and their other brothers join them, all sad and silent] [sadly]

Floyd.

Bruce
[Branch and his three older brothers surround the motionless Floyd; John Dory is in the right, Clay is in the middle, while Branch and Bruce are in the left, all of them falling to their knees and with sad looks on their faces]

Come on, man. Wake up. Wake up, Floyd!

John Dory

We need you, brother. [Poppy and Viva watch this from here with sad looks on their faces]

Clay

Oh no!

Branch
[As his three brothers continue to look at Floyd sadly, Branch lets out his conflicted expression to Floyd, with tears still flowing down his face] [hoarsely]

I... I built the hideout, Floyd. Except for the ten story water slide.

Floyd
[Branch and his three brothers hung their heads as they feel Floyd’s body. Branch felt Floyd at first, but Floyd’s eyes slowly open to Branch and his brothers] [wakes up]

But.... how will we shower?

Branch
[happily]

Floyd!

Clay

Floyd?

John Dory

Yeah!

Bruce

Yes!

Clay

Floyd! No way! Oh, yeah! [laughs]

Veneer
[Branch hugs Floyd, before John Dory, Bruce and Clay join in the hug along with Poppy and Viva. Elsewhere, Velvet and Veneer recover after the shockwave from the Perfect Family Harmony]

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.

Velvet
[devastated and betrayed, yet furious]

It's like I don't even know who you are!

Veneer
[defiantly]

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]

Velvet
[shocked]

Crimp! What are you doing?! [Crimp also places handcuffs on Veneer's thumbs]

Veneer
[as he notices the handcuffs on his thumbs]

I was just saying I had a change of heart.

Crimp

You also engaged in troll-napping, troll torture, fraud... [shrugs, snickering sheepishly]

Clay

And tax evasion. [takes out a pen and clipboard] I'm going to have to repossess your yacht.

Veneer

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]

Crimp
[excitedly]

Wow, this is liberating!

Poppy
[Mount Rageons start cheering with Velvet and Veneer shown getting escorted away by the security guards on the camera, as Rhonda starts barking at Velvet and Veneer in the process]

So, how you feeling?

Branch

Happy, grateful and really sorry it's taken me this long to open up to you.

Poppy

Whoa, TMI. Boundaries, my man. That is a lot of feelings.

Branch
[Poppy and Branch both laugh, then go in for their first kiss. Watching, the Mount Rageons swoon and cheer upon witnessing this on the screen, while Bruce and Clay both sport proud looks on their faces as they do a congratulatory handshake, Floyd sheds a tear of pride whilst John Dory hugs him, and Rhonda howls in happiness] [after the kiss]

Uh... What just happened?

Poppy

Oh. Viva just braided your hair. [the camera pans out to reveal Branch's hair is braided] It means she likes you.

Viva

That means I like you!

Branch

What's up? You got the pre-show jitters?

Floyd

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.

Clay

You know, I'm really glad those 98 degrees of separation are behind us.

John Dory

Just as long as we're together.

Bruce
[eating soup]

Mm. Hey. You guys got to try this menudo.
