Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

Scenes with Larry 4
[The episode opens at the video store, where Gumball is trying to rent a movie, but, inexplicably, an invisible barrier is standing in his way as he struggles to put the film on the counter.]
What's wrong with you this time?
(straining) This movie is so sucky, my body refuses to rent it.
Then don't rent it and get out of here.
NO! I promised my sister!
(takes the movie from Gumball) Here, let me try.
[Darwin runs to the counter, but the barrier emits a powerful force that knocks him back, causing him to fall backfirst.]
You're right. This movie's so bad that every atom in my body refuses to pay to see it.
(views the film's cover) Oh, come on. It can't be that bad. (gasps) A Pony's Tail?
You know, there are less painful ways to hurt your eyes. You could pour salt in them while staring at the sun, for example.
I'm sorry, Carrie, but we promised Anais we'd do something she wanted today.
We never realized how unbearable it'd be, and we haven't even watched it.
Come on, we're already late!
Carrie! (checks Carrie, then speaks to Darwin, quietly) I think her horror movie brain got traumatized by an overload of pony cuteness.
I THOUGHT I WAS A HARDCORE HORROR MOVIE FAN, BUT I WAS LIVING A LIE! (grabs Gumball by his shirt) Tell me, is it wrong for a punk-rock chick who lives in a haunted, malevolent mansion to be touched by the magical friendship of a pony?
Uh...no. But could you tell your pet to stop rubbing itself on my leg, 'cause that's kinda wrong.
[Below, a translucent, disembodied hand rubs Gumball's leg.]
That's not a pet. That's my grandma.
[Gumball makes a confused face.]
What?
What does she eat?
I don't know. She kinda bites her nails sometimes.
WE ARE NOT HERE TO DISCUSS CARRIE'S FREAK SHOW OF A FAMILY! WHERE IS THE DVD?!
Uh, it's in the DVD player.
Really? After all that's happened today, I didn't think it'd be that easy as pushing a button to-
[When Darwin presses the eject button, the DVD flies out of the window.]
Yeah. That makes more sense.
Why don't we all tell each other about our day, and why we got upset in the first place? I'll go first. I was on my way to work [Flashback to Nicole's car being checked by Larry on the side of the road.] when the car broke down.
Well, the damage is only superficial. [Closed car hood] So it shouldn't cost more than a hundred dollars.
A hundred dollar? [Breaks headlight] Excuse me!?
Better make that two-hundred.
WHAT!? [The sound of her voice breaks the windows.]
Uh...five-hundred..?
Nicole: WHAT?!! [Her car falls apart, destroyed because of her loud voice.]
[yelps] seven-fifty...?
Before I do what I'm about to do, I want you to know this is not your fault. You're just doing your job, but someone has to suffer for what happened and unfortunately, you're the only one around.
[Inhales deeply, suddenly her head grows big and she starts screaming at Larry In the demonic threatening voice.]
Nicole: You are a worm!! You're a thieving, bottom-feeding, money-grabbing crook!! People like you are squeezing the very last cents out of hard-working families!! YOU'RE THE REASON ICE CAPS ARE MELTING AND BABY POLAR BEARS ARE HOMELESS!! [Returns to her normal self, sighing in relief] I think that's all there was. Here. [Hands Larry a money]
Uh... Would you like to add a tip?
Sure, a little extra twelve percent. [Inhales deeply, However, Again, Her head grows big and she resumes her demonic Screaming at Larry.] You're a worthless maggot!! A POINTLESS LITTLE-
Anyway, I feel much better now. [Notices her family pushing away her large head with a table] Oh, sorry. A little too much in the moment there. [Her head shrinks back to normal]
Why are you guys here? And why are you dressed like that?
Because, it's the apocalypse, and because… well, it-it's the apocalypse!
Society collapsed as soon as you resigned!
But that was only twenty minutes ago.
(An explosion occurs from far away.)
Yeah, and that's all the time it took for us to realize our mistake. We need to be reminded of how precious you are, so this is for you, Gary. (gives some money)
A $100 bill... Thank you.
Yeah, don't get too excited. Without you, there's no business, since nothing was being bought, which has ruined the economy and forced up inflation. This $100 bill could possibly get you as much as a rat burger and a kick in the teeth.
But, still, it came from the heart...but in that case, this pizza now costs $9,000.
Is it alright if I write you a roadkill check?
Yes! We now also accept payment in uranium, antibiotics and melee weapons.
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]
Arrrgh!!!
ROAD HOoOoGGS!!!
[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]
[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!!!
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]
We'll do the commercial!
[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]
Quick, Gumball!
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!
