Let's Get Married

In Branch's old family pod, he continues listening to his old albums.

BroZone:

Poppy enters the pod and finds Branch in a sad mood.

Poppy: (clears throat) Branch.

Branch: What? Oh. Hey.

He stops the record player.

Poppy: Are you all right? You're smiling and crying at the same time. It kinda looks like it's hurting your face.

Branch: It does hurt my face. I guess I'm just missing my, um... (clears throat) ...grandma. I was just listening to some of her old records.

Poppy: BroZone? (gasping) No way. I love BroZone.

Branch: Really? I mean, really?

Poppy: I didn't know you liked them too.

Branch: I don't. I'm actually hatelistening. It's a new thing. My grandma had very questionable taste. I mean, just look at how she decorated this place. I'm sorry, but there are some things that shouldn't be macraméd. Am I right? (Winces)

Poppy: You okay?

Branch: Just fine. But I think Catwoman cut me with her claw.

Poppy sees bloody scratches on Branches chest.

Poppy: That doesn't look good.

Branch: Don't worry. It'll heal in time. But it suddenly makes no sense. Usually I would be fast enough to dodge her claws.

Poppy: This is a sign that you can't fight everything by yourself. You need help.

Branch: Completely out of the question. I never liked the idea of getting anyone else involved.

Poppy: Why?

Branch: So I won't get attached to them and won't build up anymore guilt if they get into trouble.

Poppy: I get it. You care about others. But, back to the other thing. It kinda seems like there's something you're not telling me.

Branch: What? Pfft. Be silly. No.

Poppy: Hey. I need you to be real with me. It seems like more than a macramé issue. (chuckles) If you're having feelings, you can talk about them with me.

Branch: Okay. (sighs) You're right.

He was just about to tell her when he chickened out.

Branch: Oh, hey. Look at the time. We're gonna be late to the royal wedding. Let's go get married.

Poppy: Branch!

Branch: What? I mean, let's get Bridget and Gristle married.

Poppy: Yeah... (chuckles) Oh. 'Cause it would be weird if we got married. (chuckles)

Branch: Yeah. So weird. Duh.

Poppy: Wow. The weirdest. Ha. It's, like, weird that we're still talking about how weird it was. It's, like, 15 seconds later.
