SMr. Small
(through intercom) This is our territory, and YOU are now our prey...
What?! are you planning to eat us?!
SMr. Small
Yes. I ran out of tofu and soy milk. Say, you guys aren't on any antibiotics, are you? If I have to eat meat, I want it to be organic.
SMr. Small
I'm sorry, but it's survival of the fittest.
Good! Then you won't mind me doing this.
GDGumball, Darwin, Anais, Nicole and Richard
YEAAAAAAAAAH!
Rocky! We need to get to the mall so we can sell out and make a load of cash!
Oh, sure. No probs- [Starts to glitch out before he can finish his sentence]
[The bus starts moving but the glitching begins to infect the bus and everything it comes in contact with. The Wattersons scream as the bus glitches out of control but their screams are temporarily switched to lovely-sounding tweeting birds as the sound begins to cut in and out as well. The bus then glitches into the air before falling back down smoothly, phasing through the ground. The bus then hits Doughnut Sheriff and Mr. Robinson who were glitched as well]
[The bus continues to glitch and the Wattersons continue to scream as the bus begins to break down. The sound begins to drop in quality as well]
We need to get out of here!
[The family jumps out of the bus as it continues to disintergrate to nothing. The family then runs towards the mall]
We got to sign that contract before there is nothing left of Elmore!
[The environment then immediately switches from a barely 3D environment to a storyboard as the Wattersons are running through the Mall Parking lot]
Richard[Muffled] We're... almost... there!
[Muffled] Are you sure? Cos' it doesn't look like we're moving.
[The panels then begin to speed up as the Wattersons are apparently moving faster than before]
[Muffled] AAARGH! 'Too faaast!!!
GDGumball, Darwin, Anais, Nicole and Richard
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!!!
[Their speed boosts up, which allows them to break through the storyboard panel borders and tear through the entrance of the mall. After they crash through the door, the environment is reduced to a hand-drawn background and the Wattersons become sticky notes]
[Muffled] Where's Joyful Burger?!
[Muffled] It's that way! [Points in a direction]
[Muffled] Err... it's over there. [Sticks her thumb in the opposite direction]
[Nicole's arm is suddenly erased]
AAAAAAAHHH!!!! [Only for it to be drawn back pointing in the right direction] Oh. I meant that way.
[The Wattersons run into Joyful Burger, now crude post-it note drawings]
[In a computer-generated voice with Australian accent] Then hurry up before it's too late!
[The Wattersons, except Gumball, all sign the contract, causing their animation and the environment to revert back to normal, while Gumball remains a sticky note]
Richard
Come on, sign it!
[The camera cuts to Gumball, still a post-it note drawing. He grabs the pencil on the contract]
[Puts down pencil] Wait. Are we really going to become clichés of ourselves just to sell a few burgers? Isn't there a way to survive in this world without selling out? Not everything has a price! Some things are more precious than money! Like dignity! Freedom! Love! Sorry, Larry, but you could have all the money in the world and you still couldn't afford the Wattersons!
(The episode opens on Gumball reading a comic. Richard appears and clears his throat.)
Richard
Remember your last birthday present?
How could I forget? My present was an IOU.
Richard
Well, I'm afraid I'm gonna need that back.
(groans before giving the IOU) Really?
Richard
(rips the IOU) Because...
(Gumball screams when he receives a certain box-shaped handheld console from his father.)
You got me a Game...Child? (reads the back of the console) "Made in Chainor"? This is such a knockoff, that even the country it was made in is a knockoff. (sighs) Did you buy it from the back of that van?
Richard
Yeah, the Awesome Store. What's the problem? Everything we have is a knockoff. Our TV, it's a "Soppy" - only two letters different, but that never stopped you from watching it. (gestures to Gumball's comic) Your superhero, Badman - he's a knockoff, too, but you love his morally dubious adventures. Even our doctor only has a doctorate in fine art, but he did a great job on my appendix scar.
Richard
What?
That's knockoff for "thanks".
Richard
That's the spirit.
(The episode opens on Richard sleeping at home in his robe. However, he suddenly jumps awake, hearing something before dashing off at high speed, breaking through every house on the block, and even breaking a rowboat used by Mr. Robinson in half. He moves onto the freeway, a speed camera tagging him at 200 mph, before he attempts to jump over the unfinished bridge. He fails to make the jump and falls down, but after a moment, he continues on. At the mall...)
Yeah, it's a secret, apparently.
(Gumball and Darwin hear a rumbling sound before Richard crashes into the mall, grabbing Gumball!)
Richard
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!
(Gumball screams as the three duck down to avoid debris from the massive updraft caused by Richard's speedy run as it crashes through the mall.)
Richard
SON!! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!
Richard
BEFORE THAT!!!
There's an urban legend about a secret menu at Joyful Burger!
[Richard enters the house and is shocked upon seeing Gumball and Darwin. Gumball and Darwin angrily glare at Richard with bloodshot eyes from grief with Richard's secret life as a classy lady]
Richard
Oh... Well, I guess you were bound to find out one day. How do you feel about it?
[Darwin picks up a plate and smashes it on the floor in response]
Oh, just great! How do you think Mom would feel about it?!
Richard
[tries to be honest] Well, she's not around in the day. I've got to find some way of keeping myself entertained.
[angrily slams the table] ENTERTAINED?!! [Darwin smashes second plate]
Richard
Is it so bad that I have some fun? I enjoy the time I spend with my girls.
GIRLS?!! PLURAL?!! [Darwin smashes the last plate]
Richard
What difference does it make if it's more than one?
[horrified] You maggot! How many?
Richard
Three at the moment, but you know, the more the merrier.
I think I'm gonna be sick. [welling up tears] Our dad has a secret double life. [sniffs] Darwin, smash another plate. [Darwin realizes there are no plates left to smash]
[Darwin speedily goes upstairs, orders a cheap set of plates on the computer, goes downstairs and waits until the mailman arrives with the package. Once he receives the package, he opens it at the table to throw down a plate but floats down like paper instead]
Dagnabbit, I bought the paper ones.
Looks like we'll have to use our greatest weapon...
(Dramatic music plays as Gumball reveals their greatest weapon...)
(The four start fighting again, blaming each other. Richard sighs before rolling a die.)
Richard
(flatly) The tarrasque successfully attacks. You all lose 30 HP.
(The four take "damage" from the beast.)
(The four then huddle together and discuss something before coming back to the table.)
We've decided to change tactics and use our greatest weapon...
(And it is...)
(Richard groans.)
But, this time, we blame the game master for making us spend time together! So, now it's us against you.
Richard
Hm. Finally.
