[The crowd gasped as two figures are seen above a building as Delta Dawn recognizes one of them.]
Delta: Ya gotta be kiddin' me.
King Gristle: Uh, Bridget, do you know this guy?
Bridget: I can't remember all my suitors, Grissy.
[The two Trolls leaped down and bounced from balloons and umbrellas before they landed onto the ground
Floyd: Sorry, is this bad timing?
Branch: [gasping]
John Dory: We're just trying to find a troll named- [sees Branch and screams excitedly] Baby Branch!
Branch: Uh, you're making a mistake, stranger that looks similar to me. There's no Branch here.
John Dory: [ran to Branch and examines him] Look at you. You got so big. You're not a branch anymore. You're more like a trunk. Junk in the trunk.
[He smacks Branch's butt.]
Branch: Ow!
Floyd: John, please stop.
John Dory: I bet you I can still pick you up. Come on. [began to lift Branch up; grunting] Ooh, you got heavy.
Branch: Aah!
John Dory: [yelps] There goes my back. Oh! Charley horse. Oh, God. Two charley horses.
[Delta Dawn approaches Floyd.]
Delta: I reckon you're one of John's brothers? Floyd, right?
Floyd: Yep, and you must be Delta Dawn. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Delta: (tips her hat) Pleasure's all mine.
Poppy: (to John Dory) Hey. Stop right there. You put my boyfriend down. Tell us who you are and what you want.
[John Dory puts Branch down.]
Branch: [grunting] Ow.
John Dory: Hey. [chuckles] What up? [sighing] You're right. Totally rude of me. Didn't introduce myself. [grunting] We're Branch's brothers.
[Crowd gasping]
Poppy: What?!
John Dory: [to Delta] Del! Hon, I know you told me to write you when I'm visiting, but I'm here now.
Trollex: Wait, you know this guy, Delta?
Delta: Yeah, John's mah boyfriend... for seven years.
[Crowd gasping]
Tiny Diamond: Ooh, drama! Corn me, Dinkles.
[Mr. Dinkles popped out a bucket of popcorn for Tiny]
Branch: (to John Dory) Correction; used to be my brother. Not anymore.
Floyd: (sees Branch's vest and smiled) You kept my vest...
Branch: *smiled weakly* Yeah, I have.
Poppy: (to Branch) Hey, um, remember earlier when I said you should open up to me and be real?
Branch: Well-
Poppy: You could've started by telling me you had two secret brothers!
Branch: Former brother.
Poppy: That's not how DNA works! (To King Peppy) Dad, did you know about this?
King Peppy: Huh? What would I know about secret family members? [chuckles nervously]
Poppy: Oh, my gosh. I was being so rude. I've never met anyone from Branch's family before. I'm Poppy, Branch's girlfriend. Should we hug, fistbump, smile and wave for now and see where the night takes us?
