The Amazing World of Gumball (season 4)

Seasons: 1/2/3/4/5/6 | The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball | Main The Amazing World of Gumball (2011–2019) is an animated television series created by Ben Bocquelet for Cartoon Network. The series revolves around the lives of 12-year-old Gumball Watterson, a blue cat, and his goldfish best friend—adoptive brother 10-year-old Darwin, who attends middle school in the fictional city of Elmore. The Return [4.01] [Episode opens on the street as the school bus passes by. We then cut to the interior of the bus] Alan​​​​​: Ah, it's great to have everyone back together again after summer vacation! Leslie​​​​​​: But it kinda feels like something's missing. Everyone: [All of the school kids put their hands on their chins, thinking] Hmm... Banana Joe: My pants! My pants are missing! I'm not wearing any pants! I never wear pants, I don't wear any pants. Phew, that was close. Panic over. [Carrie tries to speak but is interrupted by Banana Joe] Shoes! My shoes are missing! Wait, I did it again! Why would I wanna wear shoes? I don't have any feet. [Has a shocked expression again and lifts his legs up] My feet! My feet are missing! Masami: You're right though, there is something missing. It feels too... nice. Tobias​​​​​​: Yeah, I've been wearing my new fresh hat for a whole twenty minutes and no one has made fun of it once! Carrie: Let me rectify that for you. [Clears throat] I can see why you kept the label on, I'd want a refund too! Tobias​​​​​​: Eh, first degree burn at best. Won't even leave a scar. Gumball would've come up with something way better. Everyone: [Talk amongst themselves, then they all gasp] Where are Gumball and Darwin?! Richard: Kids, kids! It's half past seven! You're gonna be late for your first day back! Mom left me in charge, and if I don't get you to school on time, she'll destroy me—destroy you! Uh—us! [babbling] Ah! [wakes up] Oh, it was a dream. It's not really seven-thirty—it's eight-thirty! [Richard bursts through the bedroom door] Richard: Ah! You're late! [removes bed sheets hurriedly] Argh! [knocks on Darwin's bowl] Oh, no, the kids have turned into school supplies! Or am I still dreaming? Only one way to find out. [jumps out window] Hmm, I can't fly, so this definitely isn't a dream. Not dreaming, start panicking. Start panicking! [Richard runs around the house, screaming, then calls Principal Brown] Nigel Brown: Elmore Junior High. Richard: Hello-o-o, this is my wife speaking. Nigel Brown: Whose wife? Richard: Uh, Richard's. Nigel Brown: Mr. Watterson, what is it this time? Richard: I'm just calling to say that the kids won't be here this morning. They've got, uhh, fat heads! Nigel Brown: Doesn't sound that bad, send them in! Richard: But that was just the start of it! They've also got a cough, their skin is falling off, and they've got black lumps all over their arms. Nigel Brown: That sounds like the bubonic plague! Richard: Yes, that! I'm giving them vitamins, so they'll be in after lunch! Bye! Nigel Brown: Wait, what? No! Richard: [hangs up, but the phone rings again] The kids still have the plague! Nicole: [extremely fatigued] Maybe it's because I just finished my night shift and I desperately need sleep, but I could've sworn you just said the kids have the plague. Richard: No, I didn't, you did! Nicole: Did I? Oh, I'm so tired. Richard: I know. Me too! Nicole: Sure, an all night shift in the factory is nothing compared to half an hour of back to school shopping in the mall. Richard: Exactly! Nicole: Well, as long as you got them to school on time. Richard: Come on, trust me! Nicole: I know, I'm sorry for doubting you. [phone rings] Uh, listen, I'll pick them up after school. Love you! Richard: [hangs up] Don't know what she's worried about, I'm a good father. [Richard's mirror reflection makes a gesture. Richard flips the mirror.] What do you know? [sighs] Where are they? Okay. The best way to find them is to retrace your steps. [runs around in reverse back into the bedroom] Okay they're not here. So, when did I last see them? It was yesterday afternoon... [flashback] [Richard is out on the lawn] Richard: Come on sleepy heads, Dad's shopping was so tiring, we're going to bed now even though it's only five o' clock. [Richard takes out school supplies, mistaking them for the kids, and puts them in bed, kisses them, then passes out in his bedroom.] Richard: Right, so if the shopping is in the beds, the kids must be... in the trunk! [barges out of the house screaming, and starts banging on the car trunk] Gumball! Darwin! Anais! Are you in there? They can't speak! They're running out of air! [tries blowing air into the car trunk until his ears suddenly pop] Ah! Open Sesame! Alakazam! Avocado Kredenza! What's the magic word again? Oh yeah. [slams into the trunk] PLEASE! [car keys fly out of his pocket] Aha! [tries sawing the car trunk with the keys] Wait! This is the key!! [tries to open the trunk, but fails] Why isn't this working!? Gaylord: Because it's not your car, Watterson. Richard: You're right! My car hasn't got all those dents in the trunk. Hmmm. [sits down] So I have my keys, but I don't have my car. How can that be? [Richard has another flashback. It occurs at the mall's parking lot] Richard: You guys stay here while I go get the ticket. [walks] Wait! A good father wouldn't leave his children in a hot car with the windows wide open [closes his car window and locks the car with the keys] Safety first. [As Richard gets his ticket, Banana Barbara arrives and parks next to Richard's car. She gets out to take her ticket and Richard jumps in her car.] Richard: All right kids. Let's go. [car keys won't fit] Uh? [slams cars keys into the ignition, somehow forcing the car to start] Prepare to jump into hyperspace! [silence] Aw! They sleep already. [drives off] Banana Barbara: [running] Wait, my car! Richard: [screams] The kids must still be locked in my car! [running] I'm coming, kids! [returns, extremely tired] My car! [Richard gets in the car and drives away.] [Richard drives to the mall.] Richard: Come here, kids. Breathe! [punches and breaks glass of what is supposed to be his car's window, but turns out to be a parking booth] Where's my car? John: Uhh, in section D? Richard: Thank you! [punches out Gary's car window] Where's section D?! Gary: Just after section C. [Richard punches out Gary's other car window] Richard: Sorry! I forgot to say thanks! [Richard is about to break his car window, but he notices the kids aren't in the car. He screams and breaks another car window, setting off a car alarm] John: Please sir, stop breaking everything, what's going on!? Richard: I can't find my kids! John: Well when did you last see them? Richard: Umm... yesterday. After buying their stuff, I went to pick them up from the play center. [Another flashback occurs. Distorted versions of Gumball, Darwin and Anais are playing in a ball pit. Richard arrives.] Gumball: [different voice] Thanks, Dad. Did you get everything we need for school tomorrow? Richard: Yes son, and now I'm here to take you home. Anais: [different voice] That's wonderful! You're a great dad. [chanting, flashback fades away] Richard: I'm a great dad. I'm a—wait, no! Come on brain! Tell me the truth. I can take it! [He returns to his flashback, but the kids are even more distorted] Anais: [still chanting] You're a great dad. You're— [The kids and environment transform. The flashback is now in what is supposed to be Hell, and Gumball, Darwin and Anais are now flying demons] Gumball, Darwin and Anais: [evil voices] Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! Richard: [screams] The demons of guilt! Darwin: You abandoned your children in a public play center. What kind of father would do that? Richard: A tired one doing his best? Darwin: No! A lazy one doing his worst! Gumball: You can't even remember precisely what we look and sound like. [Richard screams as the flashback ends] John: If I'm reading your subconscious correctly, you left your kids in a ball pit overnight. Richard: Well it's better than leaving them in the trunk... I'm still a good father, right? John: You know what's worse than leaving your kids in a ball pit overnight? [Richard shakes his head] John: Standing here talking about it! [Gumball, Darwin, and Anais slowly drown in the ball pit] Richard: What?? Larry: I said, the ball pit had to go. It wasn't safe. All those kids sinking, getting lost, the paper work! In the end we did the only responsible thing. Sold it to a country with less child safety laws. Richard: You mean... I exported my kids? Larry: Well, technically, he's exporting them. [Larry points to a truck just outside the store. The truck leaves with the ball pit inside. Richard is about to shout something, but he gets cut off by the scene cutting to a view of the truck on the highway before we can hear him say anything] Richard: What?? Larry: I said, the ball pit had to go. It wasn't safe. All those kids sinking, getting lost, the paper work! In the end we did the only responsible thing. Sold it to a country with less child safety laws. Richard: You mean... I exported my kids? Larry: Well, technically, he's exporting them. [Larry points to a truck just outside the store. The truck leaves with the ball pit inside. Richard is about to shout something, but he gets cut off by the scene cutting to a view of the truck on the highway before we can hear him say anything] [Richard arrives at a container terminal and gasps at the tower of containers, then runs out of his car] Richard: Kids! Are you in there?! [hitting container] Answer me! [He runs to another section of the terminal and spots a crane. Somehow, he gets up and starts it with his car key] Richard: Prepare to jump into hyper... crane! [Richard uses the crane to grab a container, but it falls and releases plushies] Richard: KIDS! Where are you?! [grabs a container; piano sounds are heard] Dunno what that is. [shakes another container] Dunno what that is. [grabs another container] Ah! The unmistakable sound of a thousand plastic balls knocking against each other inside a metal container! [laughs] I found you! I should probably stop shaking this thing now... [drops container] I'm coming! [Richard goes out of the crane and rushes to the container] Gumball: Dad, help! Richard: Where's the door?! Kids, where's the door? Gumball: On the other end! Richard: Ah! [sees the container is locked with a digital lock] Aw! Okay! One-one-one-one-one. [pulls chain; still locked] One-one-one-one-two. [the container is still locked] Ah, we haven't got time for this! When mom asked me to get you to school, she didn't specify whether you had to be inside or outside of a shipping container. [Richard hooks the container to his car] Richard: Prepare to jump into hyper— [As the container is too heavy, only the top part of the car is sent forward] Richard: —space? [Richard "parks" what is left of the car and drives a truck to the container instead] Richard: Prepare to jump into hyper—oh, I've wasted so much time saying that today. I should learn to talk and act at the same time, like your mother always says. [screams] Your mother! She's picking you up in three minutes! We're gonna need a shortcut. [Richard's truck is seen breaking through several buildings while Nicole drives to school. The truck drives through a big screen at the cinema and over the crowd] Pantsbully: [in slow-motion] Awesome 3D! [Richard arrives at Elmore Junior High and sees Nicole's car on the other side of the road. He drives in reverse into the schoolyard] Richard: [Yelling] I am a good father! [Just as the bell rings, Richard crashes the truck into the school. The container opens, releasing a flow of plastic balls as well as Gumball, Darwin and Anais, who are sent bouncing outside as Nicole parks in front of the school.] Nicole: Hi, kids! How was your first day back? [The kids stand there gaping for a while. Darwin spits out a plastic ball, and the episode ends.] The Nemesis [4.02] The Crew [4.03] The Others [4.04] The Signature [4.05] The Check [4.06] The Pest [4.07] [at Elmore Junior High, Gumball and Darwin try to resolve Anais's violence issues] Gumball: Okay, first I want you to learn what it means to hurt someone. Anais: I'm the one who— [Gumball angrily interrupts her] Gumball: NO ARGUING! You wanna use violence? Then first you need to understand how it makes people feel! Anais: [confused] Wait, what? Darwin: Hit 'im. Anais: Guys, you don't understand. Gumball: Do it! [Darwin grabs Anais' hand and forces her to slap Gumball. He acts dramatically] Oh, I feel pain! But also sorrow. Isn't there a better solution to our problem? [Darwin grabs Anais entirely and throws her on top of Gumball] Gaargh! The violence inflicted upon me has instilled a rage! That can only lead to more violence. [Gumball picks up Anais, and uses her like a baton to hit Darwin. Darwin moans dramatically] Darwin: As an innocent bystander I feel unjustly hurt. The violence has now become...a vicious circle! [Again, they use her limp arms to slap each other. The action escalates into Anais becoming a small, involuntary chain-slapping tornado] Gumball: See what happens when you let yourself be an instrument of violence?! Everyone gets hurt! Anais: You don't understand! I'm the one who's getting picked on! [Gumball grabs Anais by the cheeks to abruptly stop the spin] Gumball: Then forget everything I said. [Gumball suddenly transforms into a Super Saiyan, including the art style of the referenced anime] Gumball: LET'S NAIL THIS GUYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! Darwin: Come on, man. We both know this is just posturing. [Gumball causally reverts back to normal] Gumball: Yeah, but I thought you might buy it if I went big. Let's just try to find an actual solution. The Sale [4.08] The Gift [4.09] The Parking [4.10] The Routine [4.11] (The episode opens on a statue of a distinguished warrior) Narrator: In an age long forgotten, legend speaks of an unsung hero. Some call him the Couch Crusher; to others he's known simply as the Oncoming Wind. But, to a special few, he's known as-- Gumball, Darwin and Anais: DAD! The Upgrade [4.12] The Comic [4.13] Darwin: Should we call the police? Gumball: (groans) And tell them what? That we spent the day dressed like eastern European popstars and got mugged for $7 by a shadow? (Sarah slides her latest Laserheart issue to the boys.) Gumball: Sarah, please, just stop. Sarah: Just read it. (Gumball opens the comic.) Gumball: (reading a page) "I'm glad you guys are still friends despite fighting for my affections"? (The boys give Sarah a questioning look.) Sarah: What? It's fanfiction. There's bound to be a bit of shipping. (As Onyx runs, the next panels show Laserheart performing bizarre poses as he gives chase.) Gumball: Yeah, I don't think a body can make those shapes. Onyx took his heart, not his spine. Sarah: Just keep reading. Onyx: "Without your laser heart, you cannot defeat me!" (Onyx throws a punch, and Laserheart does the same, then back, then forth, repeating again and again across the next panel.) Sarah: Yeah, the issue was running short, so I photocopied those frames to pad out the fight scene. The Romantic [4.14] The Uploads [4.15] (The episode opens on Gumball and Darwin's computer. Gumball opens the Internet and types in "Elmore Stream-It". Before he could click a video...) Darwin: DON'T DO IT!! Gumball: I just need one, man. Just one. Darwin: Don't! You know what happens if you disappear down the Elmore Stream-Hole. Who knows just how many precious hours you'll lose watching idiotic online videos? So, just back away from the PC. Gumball: DON'T COME ANY CLOSER! I'LL CLICK IT! I WILL!!!! The Apprentice [4.16] The Hug [4.17] (On the bus...) Darwin: Hiding is not gonna make it go away, and why on earth would you invite him to a sleepover? Gumball: Whoever pays for lunch gets a sleepover. It's a social contract. Darwin: You're talking out of your backside, dude. Gumball: At least you'll be there to support me. Darwin: Nope! Sorry. (Darwin gets off the bus at Banana Joe's house) Darwin: I'm having a sleepover at Banana Joe's. I predicted you'd do something like this, so I decided to get out of the house for the evening. Gumball: Fine! I don't need you! I still have Anais! (Anais pops out of Darwin's backpack.) Anais: Nope. You made your bed, and now you have awkwardly lie next to a stranger in it. Darwin: Bye! (Gumball yells, slamming his butt against the back windshield of the bus in despair as it departs.) The Wicked [4.18] Darwin: [Picks it up] Here! A photo album! [Darwin sets it down and opens it for them both to see. The first photo shows a much younger Margaret Robinson sitting in a boat on a lake, smiling wickedly] Darwin: She looks happy there. Gumball: Her brother doesn't.[In the same photo, next to the boat, Margaret Robinson's helpless brother is seen drowning. Slightly concerned, Darwin flips to the next page. The next photo is of Margaret Robinson's first day at Elmore Junior High]Darwin: Look, first day of school! Gumball: Yeah, probably the last for a few others.[Margaret Robinson gazes happily at the camera as the school building burns behind her. A fire crew is seen attempting to stop the blaze. Another page is flipped. The next photo shows Margaret Robinson as a child in the living room of her home at Christmas time]Darwin: Christmas![Darwin gasps as he sees Margaret fanning the hearth fire to burn Santa as he climbs down the chimney]Darwin: Santa... [Distraught voice, closes the book] I don't wanna see any more! Gumball: [Reopens the book] Well, wait a minute. What about the baby pictures? They gotta be cute.[The photo is of a human hand finishing the stitching of the infant Margaret]Gumball: Aw...[Gumball flips to the next page. The photo shows Margaret Robinson as a toddler, ripping off a teddy bear's head]Gumball: Oh! I guess she was just born that way, dude.[Gaylord Robinson, who stands in the shadows behind them, begins to speak as he approaches them. Startled by his voice, Gumball and Darwin quickly turn to see him]Gaylord Robinson: Margaret is and will always be a mystery. Nothing happened in her life to justify the way she is. Some people aren't looking for anything logical; they can't be bought, reasoned, or negotiated with. Sometimes, man just wants to watch the world burn. Gumball: Uh...are you saying Mrs. Robinson's a man? Gaylord Robinson: [Shocked] What? No! Gumball: [Quietly] Wait, y-you said "man", Mr.- [Trails off]Gaylord Robinson: [Puts his hands on his hips and stomps toward them in frustration] I meant "man" as in "mankind!" Darwin: But, she isn't kind. Gaylord Robinson: No, I-I-I [Defeated] Ah, just get out of here. The Traitor [4.19] The Origins [4.20] The Origins Part 2 [4.21] The Girlfriend [4.22] Darwin: [turns the lights back on] Stop! Stop, Jamie, you don't understand! [Gumball struggles to signal him to stop] Love is not something you take, it's something you earn! Jamie: [turns to him, infuriated] You think l'm stupid?! You think l don't know what love is?! HYAH![Jamie sucker punches Darwin, causing him to fall unconscious as the screen cuts to black. Darwin wakes up in the infirmary with Gumball looking at him]Gumball: [strokes him] You know, dude, all you had to do is keep your mouth shut and say nothing. The Advice [4.23] The Signal [4.24] Gumball: Oh no, we’re gonna cra- Voice: Crashing thought prices this week at Joyful Burger! The Parasite [4.25] The Love [4.26] The Awkwardness [4.27] The Nest [4.28] The Points [4.29] The Bus [4.30] The Night [4.31] Larry: Cuckoo! Cuckoo! The Misunderstandings [4.32] An unkempt Gumball is snacking on chips. The home phone starts ringing] Gumball: [Groans and picks up the home phone] Yes? Penny: Gumball, are you coming or what? Gumball: But- but I thought you said we were gonna meet at dinner! Penny: Yeah, we're having lunch at Dinner, the new diner that's just opened. [Gumball lets out a loud, high-pitched shriek that shakes the phone on the other line] Penny: Uh, hello? Gumball: [Scrubbing his body with a sponge in the bath tub] Uh, yeah, yeah, sorry, I thought you said we were going to meet at the mall, not your house. Penny: I am at the mall. Gumball: [Muffled speech through the pants on his head] Penny: What? Gumball: [Unzips the pants] Me too! I- I can't see you though. Penny: Really? Where are you? [Gumball is frantically putting his pants while going down the stairs] Gumball: Oh you know, right by that place- The one that sells uh, stuff- [The phone cord untangles and his body splats against the wall, leaving his clothes by the door] Penny: Gumball, you do realize I called you on your home phone. Gumball: [Laughs nervously] Of course I- I mean. [Clears his throat] This is a voice message I left for you in case you called. Please leave your message after the beep. Beep! [Penny pops out her eye from the phone] Gumball: I'll be there in ten. Penny: [Kisses Gumball on the cheek] Good. [Gumball runs to the door and puts on his pants and sweater quickly] Darwin: [Runs up to Gumball] Dude, look. I learned how to wiggle my ears. Check it out! [Stands still, squinting] Is it happening? Are they wiggling? [Gumball walks out the door] Darwin: Wha-- Wait a second! I jus- I just had it! You gotta see! Gumball: Uh, yeah. [Describes something with his hands] Darwin: What do you mean you wanna buy a new pair of fruit bikinis but you're not sure if the milk is off? Gumball: What? Darwin: That's what you just described with your hands. Gumball: Ok. First, you don't have ears. And secondly, this is what people do when they wanna get out of a conversation without being mean. Darwin: Well I think it's a little bit confusing. Gumball: How is this remotely confusing? [Repeating his earlier gestures] "I'm late, I gotta go, I gotta hurry, I might call you but I definitely won't." [Richard crashes at a street light] Gumball: Dad?! What are you doing?! Richard: It's your fault. [Repeating Gumball's gestures] You said go back, and keep going, and I'll call you when you get too close to the lamppost, which I thought was a bit weird. Darwin: See, dude. Those signals are pretty easy to misinterpret. Gumball: Fine, interpret this. [Describes something with his hands then runs away] Richard: What? You bought a timeshare in a lighthouse with watermelon paper? Gumball: [Growls off-screen] [Gumball is running down the street] Banana Joe: Hey man, wanna hang out? Gumball: [Stops running] Hey Joe. I'm sorry, I really can't talk right now. Banana Joe: [Singing] Should we just sing instead? Gumball: Dude, I didn't have time for this. I really gotta go. Banana Joe: Number one or number two? [Wiggles his eyebrows] Gumball: What? Eww, no. Look, I don't wanna be rude but I need to leave. Follow me? Banana Joe: Got it. [Gumball walks slowly past Joe but realizes he is following him] Gumball: What are you doing?! Banana Joe: What? You said "follow me". I thought we were doing a walk and talk. Gumball: Dude, I don't have time to talk! Am I clear?! Banana Joe: [Zips his mouth and winks at Gumball] [Gumball starts walking again, but Banana Joe walks after him] Gumball: No! Just me walking. For you, there's no walking and no talking! Alright?! Banana Joe: [Nods] [Gumball starts walking, but Banana Joe is somehow following him without moving his legs] Gumball: That was a- uh. Actually that was too impressive for me to be mad. But I'm gonna be as specific as I possibly can. You stay here and don't do anything. I will go to the mall, and see you later. Okay? [Banana Joe inhales and salutes in agreement, Gumball starts running away, but Joe starts turning purple due to the lack of oxygen. Gumball running back to Banana Joe] Gumball: You can breath though. Banana Joe: [Exhales] [Gumball keeps running, until the Hobo stops him] Hobo: Excuse me. Gumball: [Stops running] Uh, sorry I- Hobo: I don't want any money, all I want is a moment of your time. Gumball: Sorry, time is the one thing I don't have today. Hobo: Got any money then? Gumball: F-for what? Hobo: To get my yacht waxed, of course. Gumball: What? Hobo: Heh-heh-heh, just kidding it's for new gold faucets in my mansion. Gumball: Uhhhhhh... Hobo: Still joking, it's for cosmetic surgery, [Puckers lips] I want fuller lips. Gumball: U-uhhhhh... Hobo: [Shouting] IT'S FOR FOOD OBVIOUSLY! Gumball: A-ha, I'm sorry, I've got ten dollars, but I need to buy lunch for my friend. Hobo: Oh, I see clearly we're not friends, huh? Gumball: Well, no. Not really. Hobo: [Whines] Look at you, my lord, with your big eyes and your pants. Gumball: Wait, are you saying you're only wearing a trench coat right now? Hobo: I don't know. Am I?! [Quickly opens his trench coat] Gumball: [Screams then reacts normally] Oh I see, sarcasm. Look, don't be angry. We can still be friends. Hobo: But not lunch friends. Gumball: Look, I pro- I-I don't have the time right now, but I promise I'll buy you some food later at dinner. How's that? Hobo: It's a date. Gumball: Are you being sarcastic again? Hobo: Can't you tell? Gumball: [Sweating] Mhm... Hobo: Hm? Hm? Gumball: [Inhales] [Starts running] Oh, man, I'm super-late! [Looks at his arm, but there's no watch] I think. Cut to the Construction Men making comments about passersby, as if harassing them] Steve: [To Lollipop Woman] Hey. Hank: Hey sweetie. George: Hey. Hey, cupcake. Hank: [To Martha] Hey. Steve: Hey, cupcake. [Gumball runs by] Hey, kid. Hank: Hey. Gumball: [Stops running] WHAT?! George: YOUR HEAD IS MASSIVE! Gumball: [Hurt, he sizes his head, then looks at his palms, groaning] Aw. [Walks away sadly] Hank: Good job, guys. Construction Men: [Chortling] Gumball: [Runs up to them] Hey, hey, you know what? NO. I'm in a serious hurry, but someone needs to take a stand here! So, in the name of all your victims... [He blows a raspberry while making what appears to be a rude gesture with his fingers] Construction Men: [Gasping] Hank: I have no idea what that means, but it looks extremely insulting. George: Is it a Vulcan gang sign? Gumball: I don't know what it means either, but that'll teach you for making fun of my head. Hank: What? But we meant it as a compliment. George: A big head means a big brain. You must be very intelligent. Gumball: Well, when you shout weird stuff [High-pitched voice] from a tiny head [Deep voice] between huge arms, [Normal voice] it scares people. Steve: So what should we do to make people feel good? Gumball: Try a softer approach. And keep your compliments simple, you're not doing too well with specifics. Hank: Uh, okay. How about... [Whistles, then in a deep voice] Nice. Gumball: [Shudders] That just went from uncomfortable to unacceptable. Uh, maybe just stick to a friendly gesture. Steve: Oh, I got it! Hey. [Kissing noises] Gumball: Stop, stop, stop! Maybe just a simple smile. [The construction men all make creepy faces] Gumball: You guys really need to get out more. Hank: You're right! We need to hang out with some other people. But where? George: The mall? [The construction men chat in agreement] Gumball: Definitely not the mall. That's where I'm going. Steve: Schools? Gumball: U-uh... [Sweating] Alright, the mall. Okay I gotta go now. I don't even know why I've been standing here for so long. George: Because you're standing on concrete? [Gumball is now stomping across the street with blocks of concrete on his feet. Richard pulls by in the car] Gumball: Dad! Richard: Need to remember! Your mom sent me to the store to buy one thing: "We're out of fruit. Just get the fruit and you won't get in trouble," she said. "Just remember Richard, buy the flute." Gumball: Perfect! Can you drive to the mall? It's on the way to the grocery store. Richard: Sure can, watch me go! [He drives off] Gumball: [Screams in frustration] WHY DOES NO ONE UNDERSTAND ME TODAY?! [He kicks angrily at the traffic light, freeing his feet from the concrete. The pole falls right next to him - to his relief - but catapults the nearby trash bags directly onto his head] [The scene changes to show a group of Shape People walking around. One of them is holding a map, they seem to be lost. Gumball runs straight into the map] Ed: [High-pitched noise] Gumball: [Reluctantly] Okay, where do you wanna get to? Ed: [Drawn out noise] Gumball: Alright, so take a right, then continue for a block, and it's on the left after the town hall. Got it? Ed: [In shape language] Did you say left or right? Gumball: [Mouth turns into a square as he speaks mechanically] Take a right, continue for a block. Ed: [Nodding] Gumball: [He keeps giving them directions but it sounds like an insult in their language] And it's on the left after the town hall. [Subtitled, "Your wife looks like a moose, and your ugly child smells like the carpet at a fondue restaurant."] Okay. I'm late for my date, so good luck. [Subtitled, "If you weren't such an anaemic chicken, you would defend their honor."] [Thumbs up, running away] Ed: [Angry noises] [Annoyed, Penny looks at a watch, waiting for Gumball to arrive] [Gumball runs into the mall. He spots Penny and raises his hand as Jeff Benson runs an auction in the background] Jeff: That's forty-five, for the little blue man in the back. Gumball: What? Jeff: It's all for a good cause. We're trying to end hunger today, not tomorrow just today, it's a small town you know? But let's get back to business. Do I have fifty-five? fifty-five? Need some fifty-five. Penny: [Laughs] Gumball: [Shrugs and raises his finger as if to say something] Jeff: Fifty-five for the little blue man! And now I've got sixty-five. Gumball: [Turns to Penny, raising his hand again] I'll be right- Jeff: Seventy-five for the blue man! Now come on, we need a hundred. Need a hundred. [Gumball shakes his head and shrugs at Jeff] Jeff: A very slight move with the head, that's a hundred for the little blue man! Going once, going twice, SOLD! Gumball: NOOOOO!!!! Jeff: For a hundred cents, that's a dollar, well done everyone. Gumball: Huh, a dollar. [He walks in the diner to join Penny] Penny: [Chuckling] What was that? Gumball: I'm so sorry, it's just- Everyone is being completely useless today. It's impossible to communicate! It's- Banana Joe: [Walks in as Gumball is about to sit] Hi! Gumball: Ugh, just a second. What are you doing here?! Banana Joe: You said: "I will go to the mall, and see you later." So here I am! Gumball: [To Penny] Just order something, I'll be right there. Banana Joe: Okay! Two pizzas and a milkshake, to share please. Gumball: Not you, gosh darn it! Penny: [Laughs] [Suddenly, a wolf whistle is heard off-screen] Gumball: [Shakes his head] Are you kidding me? [Gumball leaves the diner to find the Construction Men] Gumball: What do you want? George: You told us to come to the mall. Hank: Yeah, and we thought about what you said before. You were right, pretty creepy. But we've changed our ways. Steve: How's this to brighten your day? [The construction men surround an uncomfortable Gumball, leaning in as they speak] Steve: Your face is perfect. Hank: Your eyes are full of life. George: Your fur is so soft. Steve: Your tail is- Gumball: Right! That sounds like the last thing the victim hears in a horror movie. Why don't you guys just find someone as weird as you to practice on? Someone who... Oh, wait a minute. [Gumball pushes Banana Joe in front of the men, and forces them to look at him. He then runs off] George: I like your skin. It fits you like a glove. Banana Joe: Thank you. Steve: You must work out. Banana Joe: Okay! [He starts working out] George: Wait, what? Banana Joe: Wait for what what? George: What? Banana Joe: What what? Hank: The what before the what? Banana Joe: What? Construction Men: [Nervous, their heads blast off one by one and their bodies drop to the floor] Ow! [Gumball walks in the diner again, this time the Hobo is waiting for him] Penny: Hurry up, my parents are picking me up in ten. Gumball: Just- [Laughs nervously] Just start without me, I'll be right there. Hobo: Who is that? Gumball: What are you talking about? Hobo: Here I am all done up for our date, and what do I see? You've been two-timing me! Gumball: Are you being sarcastic again? Hobo: [Angrily] Do I sound sarcastic?! Gumball: [Crying] I don't know! Jeff: [Taps Gumball on the shoulder] Hey, little blue man. You need to pay and get your prize for the auction. Gumball: [Hands him a bill] Fine, what's the prize? Jeff: [Takes the bill] A kiss! Gumball: Okay, you know what, whatever. [He kisses Jeff on the mouth] Jeff: [Shocked] On the cheek. From Miss Elmore. Comes with a dinner [Points to Miss Elmore, who is just Susan in a dress and sash] Penny: [Laughs] Gumball: [Glares at Penny, the fairy stops] You know what? I forfeit my prize. To him--her. It [Points to the Hobo] Hobo: Come on, you! [He picks up Jeff and runs off with him] Gumball: ...so! Where were we? [They are interrupted again, this time by Ed from earlier. He strikes poses while threatening Gumball] Ed: [In his language] You dishonored my family! You mocked my language, and questioned my courage, and you showed me your thumbs, which is culturally insensitive to my people, so now I will crush you! Gumball: What? [As Ed runs to Gumball, he is knocked over by Richard's car] Richard: Sorry son, I don't have time to buy that fruit for you! Your mother said I had to drive the car to the mall. Gumball: No dad, it was the other way around. Richard: Oh, right. People are being so confusing today. Gumball: I know, right? [Richard tussles Gumball's head and drives off. Gumball shrugs; when he is about to walk back to the diner, Ed comes back and gets hit by the car again, he now holds on to the windshield] Ed: [Angry noises] Richard: The museum? [Laughs] Yeah, I can take you there! Ed: [Happy noises] [Witnessing the scene, Penny chuckles. She takes a bite out of her burger and starts choking] Gumball: Hey! Sorry I'm so late. [Penny makes gestures at Gumball as she continues choking] Gumball: Oh, you've gotta go? [Penny is still making gestures] Gumball: Your parents have arrived? [Laughs] It's funny 'cause just this morning Darwin completely misunderstood that! [They both make the same gesture] Yeah, that! See, I love the fact that you and I just get each other. Anyway, you run now. [Kisses Penny and walks away whistling] [Penny looks at Gumball in shock before making gestures to Karen, who slaps her on the back. She finally spits out the burger and glares in Gumball's direction. Episode ends] The Roots [4.33] The Blame [4.34] The Slap [4.35] The Detective [4.36] Anais: It always looks like a normal day. Mommy's at work. Daddy's asleep on the sofa. The birds are singing, and the sun shines on Elmore... (deep voice) It's in these completely normal moments in which horror chooses to strike.
