[Gumball and Darwin are playing with a plastic toy wand that they got from a cereal box.]
[Gasps] Magic wand! [Runs, then falls over] Can I have a turn?
Sure, but it doesn't really --
Cool! With this, I can make all my wishes come true. [Waves wand] My first wish is that this doesn't turn out to be a big fraud. Like that stupid wishbone!
Well, when I was a boy about your age...
[A flashback plays, where a young Richard and Granny Jojo break a wishbone.]
I wish that the sausages would fly into my mouth. [He opens his mouth, but nothing happens] Mom, I made a wish on the wishbone but nothing happened.
Granny JojoWhat did you think, that it was gonna come true? Magic isn't real.
[Gasps] You mean, it's a fraud?
Granny Jojo
Yeah, it's a fraud.
[Richard screams throughout his childhood, including his teenage years, which we hear him hitting puberty.]
[Voice-over] And I didn't stop screaming for 15 years.
[Richard can be seen screaming in his yearbook photo. As an adult, he screams at the movies, and finally, during his and Nicole's wedding. Flashback ends.]
I never believed in anything again. But I believe this will be different. Now, I've got some wishing to do! Hehe, hehe, hehe!
Granny Jojo
If you think I'm letting you send them out into danger, you got another thing coming!
Well, if you think I'm gonna let you mess with my family anymore, you got this chair coming!
[Nicole takes the chair and hits Granny Jojo but the chair bounces off]
Granny Jojo
Good luck trying to stop me, Nicole. I've safe-proofed this whole house.
[Nicole throws a flower pot at Granny Jojo but it bounces off again]
Granny Jojo
Everything breakable is now plastic.
[Nicole takes a lamp and hits Granny Jojo but it bounces off]
Granny Jojo
Everything else is rubber.
[Nicole takes a painting and hits Granny Jojo but the paper tears and goes through Granny Jojo]
Granny Jojo
Apart from that, which was paper. A good mother prevents accidents before they happen.
[Scene changes to a fire background with Nicole's eyes burning with anger]
[Nicole pounces on Granny Jojo and starts pulling her ear and uses her hand to slap her face]
Granny Jojo
No!
Granny Jojo
No!
[Scene changes back to Richard and the trio who are still squeezing out of the door, then Anais pops out and hits the car]
Anais': [Puts her finger on his lips] Hmmmm...
[Scene changes back to Nicole who is still slapping Granny Jojo until they hear the car's engine starting]
[Scene changes to the street as Nicole and Granny Jojo watch Richard drive off]
Granny Jojo
NOOOOOO! You've sent them to a highway of eternal doom in a chariot of pain and despair! MY BABIES! MY BABIES!!
Oh please, Richard is perfectly capable of driving to the store.
[Richard runs a red light, causing a major traffic accident]
[Shocked] I'll get the car.
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!!!
You two are ridiculous. Scaring yourselves with narrow-minded assumptions about country people.
(The old man suddenly picks up Anais.)
OMOld Man
Big brain for such a small thing. (chuckles) I like that.
(Frightened, Anais dashes into the car.)
WE 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)
(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.)
(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.)
Granny Jojo
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!)
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!!!!!!!!
Granny Jojo
Alright, enough chitchat. Help me up! I don't wanna break a leg before my hot date.
[The kids try to lift her out, but she is surprisingly heavy]
What the weight?! How can someone so small be so heavy?
Granny Jojo
Well, I have two metal hips, one orthopedic shoe, six gold teeth, a plate in my head and an industrial-strength pacemaker. I've got so much metal in me, I'm legally classified as a motor vehicle. Anyway, where's the rope?
[The kids look back to see the rope gone.]
(to Anais) Didn't I tell you to tie the end to something?
(to Darwin) Didn't I tell you to tie the end to something??
(to no one) Didn't I tell you to--
Oh, wait. Sorry. My bad. I didn't tell anyone to tie it.
Granny Jojo
(sighs) We need another plan.
