Branch enters his family's old pod and sees so many familiar stuff.
Branch: (chuckles) Either this place got smaller, or I got bigger.
He sees albums of an old boy band called BroZone.
Branch: Huh? I forgot about these.
He plays a record and starts having flashbacks from 27 years ago, when he was just a baby.
Announcer: One minute to showtime.
Crowd: BroZone, BroZone, BroZone. BroZone! BroZone, yeah!
Branch, the youngest brother looked at the crowd.
Audience Member #1: We love you, BroZone!
John Dory, the oldest and leader of the band was planning their show.
John Dory: All right, guys. We're gonna open with "Girl, Baby, Baby" and close with "Baby, Baby, Girl." Wait, no. That doesn't sound right. Ooh! I got it. Open with "Baby, Baby, Girl," close with "Baby, Baby, Girl, Woman." Yes! (laughing) We are gonna make boy band history tonight.
Spruce, the second oldest brother was doing pushups.
Spruce: (groaning) 510. 511. 512.
John Dory: Love it, Brother. I wanna see a hundred more of those by showtime, Spruce. Those abs need to be poppin', baby.
Spruce: Oh! Come on.
John Dory: God, I wanna boil an egg on those abs.
Clay, the middle brother was getting dressed.
Clay: John Dory, do I really have to keep wearing these things?
John Dory: Yes, you do, Clay. They're funderdrawers. It's underwear, but 76% more fun. Let's see those dance moves, Brother.
Clay: Fine. Rusty Robot, into Wiggle Worm, end on Caliente Puppet. Yeah.
Floyd, the second youngest brother was trying to keep everyone calm.
Floyd: Bro, you look stressed. Breathe.
John Dory: Well, of course I'm stressed, Floyd. It's the first show of the tour. We have to hit the perfect family harmony. We promised the fans.
Floyd: Okay, calm down. You're making Baby Branch nervous.
Crowd: BroZone! BroZone!
John Dory: What? Nervous? No, no, no. He's not allowed to be nervous. He's gotta be perfect.
Floyd: Cut him some slack, John Dory. It's his first show.
Spruce: (grunting) Come on, abs.
Floyd: Hey, Branch. How you feeling?
Branch: I feel like I'm gonna barf and pass out and
Floyd: Pee your pants all at once?
Branch: How'd you know?
Floyd: Ah, you got the preshow jitters. Completely normal. Everyone gets 'em. You wanna know what I do when I get 'em?
Branch: Barf, pass out and pee your pants?
Floyd: (chuckles) I remember that I'm with my brothers, and that when we come together, there is nothing that we can't do.
Branch: But no one's ever hit the perfect family harmony before. Is it true it can shatter diamonds?
Floyd: Yeah. It's that powerful.
John Dory: All right, boys, just remember, no matter what you do, follow my lead.
