Troll director: So how old are you, Branch?

Branch: Uh, 24 years.

Troll director: What would you say your place in the family dynamic is?

*One of his brothers hits him with a water balloon*

Branch: Knock it off, Clay!

Clay: Aw! Is Baby Branch doing an interview?

Branch: (pushes Clay away) Anyway, back to your question-

Clay: (pops up beside Branch) I'm his favorite brother, and we all know it.

Branch: Go! Before anything else happens, I'm the youngest. Therefore, I'm treated like I'm a baby. Which is completely annoying.

All the brothers are sitting on the couch being interviewed.

Troll director: What's your dream, Branch?

Branch: To live a happy life.

JD: Branch, you got a hair sticking out. (tries to lick it down)

Branch: No, no, John! (backs away onto his brother Bruce's lap)

Bruce: Wet Willy!

Floyd signals to the director to cut for a break.

After everything is normal and back with Branch in his bunker...

Troll director: Is there a hierarchy in your family?

Branch: Definitely. As the youngest, they always remind me of it. Except Floyd.

JD: Baby Branch, after you're done doing your own talk show, remember you have to brush those baby teeth of yours!

Branch: I rest my case.

Troll director: Last question. Amidst all the chaos, do you ever think how your life would be without your brothers?

Branch: Heh, I can not imagine a world without my brothers being in it. They bring a certain "uniqueness," as my grandma would say to our family. Through the chaos and fights, it all goes back to being there for one another.
