AnaisIt 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.
So who is Gumball Watterson? Here are some things people have said about me.
Gumball!
Is the most—
AnaisAmazing!
Dude!
Don't have time—
To say all the good things—
About...
This!
AnaisAmazing!
Dude!
So, there you have it...
[Gumball leans back too far, however, he falls off the chair.]
(Gumball and Darwin are on the couch, their eyes are red after watching too much TV, Darwin starts flicking through channels)
Can we think of any better way to spend our lives?
Dude, I can't even think. Is my heart still beating?
(Darwin checks Gumball's heart)
Phew!
Keep flicking.
(The TV says, "Listen Gumball, the world will end in 24 hours so look for the signs!")
Listen!/Gum./ball!/The world/will end in 24 hours so/look for the signs!
Darwin, what are we doing here?
Learning hard, so we can get a career, a home, and feed our children in the future.
Darwin, there is no future. We need to study and make the most of it right now. Not listening to some baboon drone on about algebra.
Uh, Gumball, this is biology.
Ah, who cares? It won't matter in 24 hours! Kiss me, Penny.
This is pretty effective.
Well, it's an olympic event, you know.
AnaisDad, is this really necessary?
Absolutely. In ever disaster movie I've ever seen, the family survives by hiding in a bunker.
Richard, that's not a bunker. It's a toilet.
C'mon, guys. Think outside the box. This is got everything we need: a toilet, a... uh...
I don't think we're all going to fit in there.
We have to!
Gumball Watterson, come back here immediately! I'm not spending the afternoon in a toilet!
Richard, do something!
Don't worry, girls! I've been in this situation before! I'm going to kick the door open!
(Tries to kick the door open, but it falls and toilet water splashes on them)
Ew!
Yep, that's exactly what happened last time!
[Gumball, Darwin, and Anais are in their bedroom]
AnaisListen, Gumball, I am not spending the night without Daisy. You'll just have to go to Tina's place and get her back.
Me? But why?
AnaisBecause....because....[Makes a cute face] Because you were the one who lost it in the first place.
[Makes a cute face too] But I'm just a little boy, and she's a giant T-Rex.
AnaisBut you are my big brother.
But I don't want to get my face pounded to a pulp.
[Both of them continue to exchange cute faces at each other until Gumball gives in]
Okay. I'll go.
AnaisHahahaha!
But you two are coming with me.
[Darwin and Anais both groan]
Aww. Why so sad? You need to find your happy place!
[Beat]
THERE IS NO HAPPY PLACE!!!! [The squirrel falls over from the loudness. Gumball starts sobbing] Oh, I'm sorry, little creature!
[sobs] I'm sorry I couldn't help you forget.
[The squirrel starts sobbing as well]
[Screaming] Aw man, that was intense.
Give us a kiss!
[Gumball wakes up for real]
NOOOOO!!!!!
[Gumball and Anais scream; Gumball then stops screaming, and sighs three times]
AnaisOh, come on! That's the fifth time tonight!
[In DVD recording] Greetings, Gumball Watterson, from our secret lair.
AnaisIsn't that just the library?
Shh! There's more!
[In DVD recording] So, you think you're too good for us, eh? Well, you'll soon change your mind when we upload your embarrassing school record in a web video hosted by none other than you.
[In DVD video recording, pretending to be Gumball]
My name's Gumball Watterson. and my IQ is smaller than my shoe size. I wore diapers until the age of eleven and once got detention for calling Miss Simian "mum."
[Screams] He looks just like you!
[In DVD recording] Our revenge plan is almost complete.
[In DVD recording] Uploading. Ten minutes until completion.
[In DVD recording] [Evil laugh] And, cut! How was I? Evil enough?
Great, now the nerds are bullying me! Do you want me to deal with this on my own?
No. When someone picks a fight with one of us, they pick a fight with all of us. Everybody, get in the car. We've still got time to stop them.
But where is their secret hideout?
AnaisIt's in. THE LIBRARY!!!!
[Off-screen] It's mine!
[Off-screen] No, mine!
[Off-screen] Give it back!
[Scene changes to the Wattersons' dining room where Richard, Nicole and Gumball are aruging while Darwin and Anais watch in fear]
I lost my job for it!
It's mine!
[Richard snatches the hat and Nicole and Gumball slams him to the ground]
But I'm on Hat or No Hat tomorrow!
Give...
It...
back!
AnaisStop it! [All stop and look at Anais] Look at what you've become! This stupid hat is driving you crazy!
Actually, it's a helmet.
AnaisIt's not a helmet or a hat! It's a piece of tinfoil! And it's tearing this family apart! Look at you! You're behaving like animals!
[Sighs] Anais is right. That helmet has such a grip on us.
It's like its magic is taking control of the person who wears it!
Ha! Well, since none of you guys want it, I guess I can have it back.
AnaisNo! Me and Darwin have been talking, and we've decided it has to be destroyed.
What?! You can't destroy it! I'm nothing without it!
I'm sorry, honey, but Anais is right.
[Anais walk towards Gumball]
Can- can I have one more go?
AnaisNo! [Snatches the helmet out of Gumball's hands]
DON'T TOUCH IT!!
Hey! [picks Gumball up]
No! No! No! It's mine! Aah! Aah! No! It's my helmet! [Tries to get helmet back]
[Richard and Nicole stop Gumball from taking the helmet, while Gumball goes crazy]
Dude, chill out. It's just a bucket with some tinfoil on it.
Aaah! Give it back! It's my helmet! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
(The episode opens on Nicole, who is whimpering in her sleep in the front lawn. Anais touches her face to wake her up.)
AnaisMom, wake up!
AHH!
Mom, are you alright?
Oh, I just had the weirdest dream. I was out on the front lawn and your father had a job as a pizza delivery guy.
(Offscreen, then shown in a delivery boy outfit) That wasn't a dream. That's what I just told you---and you fainted! (chuckles)
(Back at the house..)
Your father has a job. Your father has...a job.
(Anais is holding Nicole's hand to comfort her, but the woman suddenly jumps up to her.)
Something's gonna go terribly wrong, isn't it?!?
AnaisNo, this is a good thing. We can finally buy all the things we need.
What do you mean? We got everything we need.
Anais(picks up a family photo) Mom, we've all been wearing the same clothes for the past year, you three don't even have any shoes, (whispers) and I think it's about time Darwin wore some pants.
(Back at the house, Nicole is huddled in a blanket, hyperventilating while Anais sits beside her, comforting her.)
AnaisMom, when you say "Dad having a job has upset the fundamental balance of the universe," are you sure you don't just mean he's changed the balance of power in the house, and that upsets you because you're a little bit of a control freak?
No. Maybe.... I don't know anymore!
(Gumball and Darwin enter the house)
Boys! What's going on with your father?! Has something terrible happened?!
Well, he dropped a few pizzas, so we delivered 'em. That's about it.
Maybe I should just forget about all this...
You know, that good stuff's got me thinking, what else is cheap in this house?
[Gumball, Darwin, and Anais walk into the living room]
I mean, look at this MP3 player. Now tell me it's not a calculator with headphones stuck in it. [Grabs a copy of "HOW TO RATATWANG YOUR PANDA"] And that DVD is not even the real film. It's some mockbuster from the bargain bin.
What's wrong with "How to Ratatwang Your Panda"?
[On the TV Screen, a section of the film plays, taking place in a dojo]
Get ready, panda, use your secret weapon.
Okay, you asked for it. [Does a massive fart in the other mice's face]
Oh, boy!
[Cuts back to the couch]
HAHAHAHAHA! HEHAHA! [Sighs] Clever.
And look at this "blender". You really call this top-of-the-line?
[Gumball turns on the blender, actually a fan blade above a bowl, and puts an orange in it, causing its juice to fly onto the ceiling]
Why can't we have the good stuff?
AnaisMore importantly, what's mom hiding?
[The home phone rings, and Anais answers]
AnaisHello?
For your own safety, stop digging around. There's nothing to find.
AnaisOkay, but if we were going to start digging, where should we look?
Definitely not the attic. Ah! No, wait--! Oh, darn--.
[The voice hangs up as Anais cleverly laughs]
AnaisMom, instead of milk, can we have chocolate milk?
No.
Instead of eggs, can we have chocolate eggs?
No.
Instead of bread, can we have chocolate bread?
No.[Sighs] Richard, can I get a little help here, please?
Sure. [Walks to the kids] Here kids, [Grabs a chocolate bar] stop bothering your mother and eat this chocolate.
[Nicole groans and swiftly kicks the chocolate bar out of Richard's hand]
What the...?! Well what's the point in dragging us here if we're not getting some kind of treat?!
[Strained voice, speaks through gritted teeth] Because we're having a nice family outing and that should be reward enough.
[Gumball starts to whimper]
Don't you dare...
[Screams and cries while lying down and bangs on the floor] I WANT THE CHOCOLATE EGGS!
[Nicole sighs, and just as Anais and Darwin copy Gumball, Richard starts screaming. Gary walks by and gives Nicole a judgmental stare]
[Grabs two cans of hot dogs and speaks in a high-pitched voice while staring at the one on her right hand] Oh, Mommy, I want some chocolate. [Stares at the one on her left hand in a normal pitched voice] I'm sorry, little sausage, but you had too much candy this week. [Closes her eyes in a high pitched voice] WAH WAH WAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! [Squeezes the can in her right hand so hard it explodes; normal voice] Now all the little sausages are punished and going to have to wait in the car.
You paranoid nut bar, that stuff doesn't work.
AnaisThen why are you holding a basket full of lipstick?
Three colors, five dollars! It'd be stupid not to buy it!
[As Anais stares at him, Gumball realizes what she's saying]
This. Is. Perfect! If we use those tricks on Mom, we can get anything we want! It's foolproof! [Starts singing happily] Who's getting candy? [Points at Anais] Owww, you're getting candy! Uh! Uh! [Starts dancing]
I'm getting candy! [Twirls around] And he's getting candddddy!
I'm getting candy?! [Pretends to shred on an air guitar] Uhn! Uhn! She's getting candy! [Points at Anais]
AnaisMmm, mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm! I'm getting candy, [Points at each of the three boys] you're getting candy, he's getting candy, he's getting candy, she's—
GET BACK TO THE CAR!
[The Wattersons walk out in disappointment]
Anais[Squirts whipped cream into her mouth] And it's Dad who's looking after us. [Squirts some more whipped cream into her mouth]
[Gumball jumps into Darwin's arms with a slow iris shot as they smile. Just before it closes, Anais squirts whipped cream into Gumball's mouth]
Ahh... I was hoping you'd do that.
AnaisUm, Mr. Lennard?
(high-pitched, squeaky voice) Yes, indeed?
AnaisThere's no way Mom would fall for a guy with a voice like that.
EVIL VOICE!
(in a lower, masculine voice) Yes, indeed?
AnaisUh...we need to warn you, good sir.
Ah, but it is you who should be warned. I came for YOU!
(After Gumball corrects his "error", the scene is reenacted, but in a different outcome.)
AnaisYou are in danger, Daniel Lennard!
How do know my name? Who are you?
AnaisWe are all that is left of Nicole Watterson's previous family.
What? What about your father?
She took all his money...and, then...SHE ATE HIM!!
(Lennard gasps)
Anais(whispering) And now, she's coming for you.
(The bush beside them rustles before Gumball jumps out, impersonating Nicole as he roars at Lennard. However, he responds with a swing of his cane. The scene stops.)
Okay, you're going to have to dodge that.
(The scene replays, but Gumball dodges the cane swing. The scene pauses again when Lennard delivers a kick.)
Okay, you're going to have to dodge that, too.
(The scene replays again, with Gumball dodging both the cane swing and the kick. The scene pauses again when Lennard now delivers a karate chop.)
(flatly) Okay. That as well.
(The scene replays once again as Gumball dodges the cane swing, then the kick, then the chop, but the scene pauses once more when Lennard pulls a Taser gun.)
Dude, I don't think you'll be able to dodge that!
Ugh, great...
At least he passed away peacefully.
Yeah, like a peaceful, evil raisin.
[The kids and Richard are giving the turtle a funeral]
[Sniffles] Before we say goodbye to our beloved family pet, Evil Turtle, I think we should all say a few words to let him know how much he meant to us.
Hmmm.
I'll always think fondly of the way he put fear into my heart.
Hmmm.
AnaisEvery time I stare down at the scar tissue on my hand, I'll think of him.
Hmmm.
Only once in your lifetime, does something touch your heart in the way that... awesome store did! [Sobs in his hands]
Dad, you gotta move on.
AnaisGumball, do you have anything you like to add?
Yeah, er.... I'll miss his.... you know the funny way he... the thing he... I got nothing.
[Drops the dead turtle into the trash bag] All of this because we couldn't take care of him.
[Darwin cries over the turtle and a single drop falls on the turtle who immediately recovers and hisses at them, scaring Gumball]
He was revived by my tear!
IT FEEDS ON MISERY!!!
[The turtle climbs out and crosses the road away from the Wattersons, hissing and snarling furiously]
Somebody save him, he could get hurt!
[The Turtle moves into the path of a speeding car in which the car crashes into pieces and the turtle was unharmed and unfazed by the impact]
AnaisForget saving the turtle, we need a plan to save the neighborhood.
Why am I the bait?
(comes out of a bush) Because you're the one he loves biting the most!
Alright, but why am I not allowed to wear clothes?
Because he could choke on them.
(Darwin pops in and then out of his hiding spot and decorates Gumball's head with leaves.)
What was that for?
Presentation. It's important.
What??
AnaisShh! Just remember to let it get as close as possible to give me a chance to catch it!
Just make sure you don't hurt him, okay? He's only a small little guy and there's three of...
(Darwin suddenly falls as he is heard gasping.)
.....Darwin? Are you ok?
(Gumball nervously checks his environment as looks around. He then hears splashing water.)
Dude, is that you?... Hello? Is anyone there?
(A pair of malicious eyes poke out of the swamp. Gumball gapes before the turtle rushes out to him while hissing, scaring Gumball and forcing him to free himself!)
I CAN'T FIND THE EDGE!!!
(The evil turtle closes in, but Gumball manages to free himself, though losing his fur from the tape, and runs away, with the turtle in pursuit.)
AnaisWait, what about the bowl?!
WHAT ABOUT MY BUTT?!?!?
AnaisWell, I guess there's no getting rid of it. We'll have to keep it for as long as it lives.
How long do they live?
Anais130 years.
MOM! WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE NOW!!!!
Yes, but about that, apparently the engine is... (glares at Richard) caramelized.
(gasps, then whispers) Caramelized.... (He looks at Nicole) Aw.... Mmm!
(groans) He can't fix it. We're stuck here. But, the good news is he says he'll have us for dinner!
(Gumball and Darwin scream again from inside the car.)
Can you guys stop screaming every five minutes?!
(The window rolls down, revealing the boys screaming silently.)
Actually, we're doing a silent scream. We need to save our voices for WHEN HE EATS US!!!
AnaisYou two are ridiculous. Scaring yourselves with narrow-minded assumptions about country people.
(The old man suddenly picks up Anais.)
Big brain for such a small thing. (chuckles) I like that.
(Frightened, Anais dashes into the car.)
AnaisWE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!!
Alright, that's it! I only get five days off a year! (at Richard) We already wasted Christmas when you decorated the house with whipped cream instead of fake snow!
(Flashback to Nicole entering the house at Christmastime)
Merry Christma--AAH!
(Nicole slips on the whipped cream and is knocked unconscious. Richard and Anais are seen gorging on the cream.)
Uh, how much cream did you eat?
Then, there was the Fourth of July...
(In another flashback, the family is gathered in the backyard as Richard lights a firework.)
Be careful, Richard.
(The lit firework launches, but it circles back down and crashes into the yard.)
Then your mother's visit...
(In another flashback, Nicole is driving on the freeway with Granny Jojo alongside her. However, as the latter speaks, she gets increasingly annoyed.)
After you drop me off at the mall, go to the grocery store and buy me a melon - not too hard, not too soft. Then, pick me up at 2:30. I have an appointment at a beauty parlor, and from the looks of it, you could do with a makeover yourself, then you need to--
And let's not forget Halloween!
(In one last flashback, Richard, in a wolf mask, surprises Nicole on Halloween. However, Nicole reacts by kicking him down the stairs!)
Richard?
There's some liquid in my lungs!
(Back to the original scene...)
So I'm not going to ruin this by listening to your crazy assumptions! You said we were going camping, so WE ARE GOING CAMPING!!!!!!!!
