Grandma: *holding baby Branch* Ooh, 5 hours in the troubled room. *talks to baby Branch while talking out loud* Your brothers must have one big secret to not be talking this long.

Spruce was doing push-ups with a coffee table on his back. John Dory was bouncing ping pong balls back and forth while balancing on a chair. Floyd was balancing eggs on chopsticks while having a spoon in his mouth with another egg on it. Clay was upside down while doing a handstand on a chair.

JD: Getting a headache but not quitting.

Spruce: I ain't breaking if Floyd ain't breaking.

Clay: Guys! I'm in the zone! There is literally nothing that could break me right now!

Grandma Rosipuff places baby Branch and a bag of stinky laundry in front of Clay.

Clay: Starting to break.

Grandma: You see, boys, I haven't done the laundry in 2 days, and Branch just had lunch.

Spruce: So?

Floyd: Guys, we all know if Branch doesn't get burped, he vomits like a leaf blower!

Clay: Uh-oh.

Grandma: Let's see, Branch's lunch consisted of broccoli...

Baby Branch crawled closer to Clay with sticky hands.

Grandma: Pasta.

Baby Branch starts to turn green, making Clay nervous.

Grandma: *smiles* A cookie, of course.

Branch started to drool, and after picking his nose, he reached for Clay smiling.

Clay: Okay! Okay! We kicked some serious ugly Bergen butt! But we were discovered by Princess Viva, who took our picture!

Grandma: *grabs Branch and burps him* Oh no, my greatest fear has come.

JD: It's okay. Spruce took out the film. No harm done.

Grandma: *gives Clay baby Branch* No, it is Princess Viva who will be harmed. Get her. Bring her down here!

Clay: *holding baby Branch who's playing with his nose* Oh yeah.
