The Amazing World of Gumball 4x34

1. No way, man.

2. The crocodile would definitely win.

3. It's like a torpedo made out of dinosaur.

4. Yeah, but the bear would lure the crocodile

5. into a false sense of security with his cuteness,

6. then hug it till its head pops.

7. Guys, I don't think you fully understand the concept of a zoo.

8. There won't be any animal fights.

9. Oh, I never said we were going to the zoo.

10. But you said we were going to see

11. depressed, out-of-shape creatures

12. walking around in circles.

13. Yeah, we're going to the mall.

14. Can we still check out the pet store, though?

15. Okay, deal, but first, we have to go to the cutthroat pit

16. where men tear each other apart for a dime.

17. We're going to Wall Street?

18. The discount aisle.

19. Well, now we know, I guess.

20. Crocodile wins.

21. Uh, Mom?

22. I know, sweetie.

23. Don't think about it too much.

24. All right, you strike a hard bargain,

25. but you've got yourself a deal.

26. Three pieces of bait for a cracker.

27. Cracker! It can't understand you, sir.

28. It just repeats anything it regularly overhears.

29. Oh, man. Not that chubby pig guy again.

30. That — That could be anyone.

31. With his bucktooth and his stupid clip-on tie.

32. That could still be someone else.

33. The man I'm talking about

34. is Richard "Butt-Ugly" Watterson.

35. I thought he was talking about me for a second,

36. but my middle name isn't "Butt-Ugly."

37. It's Buckley.

38. I feel sorry for that other fella.

39. Are you okay, sweetheart?

40. Oh, I'm fine, Mrs. Mom.

41. It's just...

42. I was looking at all these fish

43. swimming happily in this large tank, and...

44. I've said too much.

45. Mm.

46. Let me know if he's coming.

47. Okay, "How to grow a butt."

48. "What age will I start laying fish eggs?"

49. Here. "Better fish environment."

50. I knew it. What are you looking at?

51. Darwin's browser history.

52. The — What?

53. Sorry. We had no idea you were techie enough

54. to check out Internet browser histories.

55. Please, go on.

56. I don't think Darwin's happy here anymore.

57. He misses his natural environment.

58. Wait. You mean...

59. we're gonna release him back into the wild?

60. I will destroy anyone who tries to take my baby.

61. Okay, sorry, sorry.

62. It's just seemed like the rational solution.

63. You want rational? Yah! Yah! Yah!

64. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

65. It's not what I want for him either.

66. Let's just try some irrational solutions first.

67. I'm listening.

68. Well, if we can't take him back to his world,

69. let's bring his world to him.

70. Why?

71. It's a special treat for my favorite little guppy.

72. Come on, dig in. Look.

73. Heh. It's delicious.

74. Mmm.

75. We got some other stuff if you don't like worms.

76. How about fishhooks?

77. Not hungry? Mmm.

78. Mmm, mmm.

79. Mmm. Delicious!

80. I love the way salt water stings my insides.

81. Aren't you hungry?

82. 'Cause I also bought plastic bags and some mercury.

83. "You guys" love that, right?

84. What do you mean, "you guys"?

85. Uh

86. What's that?

87. The ejector seat.

88. Uh, let's move straight to dessert.

89. Here. You can nibble the dead skin off my foot.

90. I think I'm gonna skip dinner tonight.

91. Thanks. What?

92. That's what fish do.

93. I've seen it.

94. In the mall.

95. Hmm?

96. Right. According to this book, "Connecting with Your Roots,"

97. step one is to provide the appropriate amount of sunlight

98. for your loved one,

99. which means they shouldn't be kept in your bedroom.

100. So that's why I threw Darwin out last night.

101. I'm pretty sure that book's about plants.

102. That makes sense, 'cause part two is "Cover with Fertilizer."

103. Anyway, step three is "Dress Appropriately."

104. So what kind of fishwear have we got going on?

105. Mom, what's that?

106. Treasure chest.

107. What are you wearing?

108. Mermaid outfit. Why do you ask?

109. Because it looks very wrong. Mm, you're right.

110. Maybe we need to rethink this

111. and take a long, hard look at ourselves in the mirror.

112. Nah, we're nailing this.

113. Okay! I'm gonna take a walk!

114. Away from all this craziness.

115. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. - Wait. Wait.

116. No. Just no.

117. It's great we're going for ice cream, Darwin,

118. but what's up with them?

119. Apparently, we now swim as a school. Why?

120. All I got for an answer was...

121. Okay.

122. There you go — a banana split to share.

123. Right.

124. See you later.

125. Could you please stop that?

126. So you're not digging the whole shoal thing?

127. No!

128. And I don't like the "suckerfish cleaning my gills" thing either!

129. I'll be in my bowl.

130. Oh, it's not working.

131. He's even more unhappy than he was before.

132. I don't think we can ever act like real fish.

133. Yes, we can. All we have to do

134. is forget everything every three seconds.

135. All we have to do

136. is forget everything every three seconds.

137. All we have to — Listen, to make him feel included,

138. we need to keep talking to him,

139. but we just have to use words he can understand.

140. "Ray," there, buddy.

141. What's going "prawn"? What?

142. Minnow, you've been giving us a lot of carp

143. about this whole fish thing, and I "eel" you, no "trout."

144. I'm your "sole" brother after all. Know what I "brine"?

145. We don't want you to feel "orca-ward."

146. We're just trying to "kelp" you.

147. I have literally no idea what any of you are talking about.

148. We just hate to "sea" you like this.

149. Know what I'm "salmon"?

150. We "cod" do "batter" if you let us "fry."

151. Here's some whale song to make you "reel" at home.

152. Wow. It's beautiful.

153. If only we could understand what they're saying.

154. Majestic.

155. Look, can you please just get out?

156. I've "haddock" up to here — I mean, I've had it up to —

157. Ah, just get out!

158. What can we do?

159. Well, I think we should keep him away from the sea

160. and rivers and swimming pools and just water altogether.

161. And other fish. Also mirrors.

162. And fish-related things like chips, lip surgery, and Japan.

163. And daylight in general

164. so he can't see anything else I didn't think of.

165. We might as well lock him inside a box

166. and bury him in the basement.

167. Yes! That's exactly what we should do!

168. Dad! Ugh.

169. Do you have any solutions

170. that won't break our hearts?

171. I'm afraid we're going to have to be rational.

172. We have to release him back into his natural habitat.

173. Why is everyone crying? Nobody's crying.

174. What are we doing here? Can't we just go home?

175. Well, this is your ho-ho-ho-home now.

176. It's okay, buddy. We can still stay in touch.

177. Look, I got us these walkie-talkies.

178. Let me help you move in.

179. Well, now you've got the whole pond to yourself.

180. Guys, what's going on? Seriously!

181. We will always love you.

182. You were always my favorite.

183. Uh, I'm right here, you know?

184. Just kidding.

185. We're doing it for you, son.

186. If it were up to me,

187. you'd be blindfolded and locked up in a basement.

188. What?

189. You all saw him at the pet store.

190. This is what he really wanted.

191. What do you think you're doing?

192. This is a big turning point in his life.

193. Hello?

194. And he'll get used to it.

195. He just has to hold on.

196. It's a big leap for him

197. to go back to his natural habitat.

198. But he gave us a very clear sign.

199. Aah!

200. He'll just have to hang on in there.

201. Hey, you! Follow them!

202. Life isn't always a straight path, you know,

203. and sometimes things just come to a dead end.

204. Aha! What is wrong with you?

205. Look, I know we're all upset,

206. but how about some ice cream to cheer us all up, huh?

207. Aah! Come on!

208. Three sundaes, please,

209. and, Richard, honey, what do you want?

210. Nuts.

211. You abandon me, then go for ice cream?

212. Somebody please tell me what is going on!

213. Sorry, buddy, but you were just so sad

214. when you were looking at those fish in the pet store.

215. We tried to reconnect you with your roots,

216. but we could see it wasn't enough,

217. so we kind of "White Fang'd" you.

218. What are you guys talking about?

219. You know — the way you looked at the fish

220. and then back at us with that sad face.

221. Oh, that.

222. I wasn't looking at the fish.

223. I was trying to guilt-trip you into buying me the huge tank.

224. You were trying to emotionally blackmail me

225. into buying you something?

226. Well, looks like somebody's shown their true colors.

227. You really are...

228. A Watterson!

229. So, does this mean I get a new tank?

230. Absolutely not.

231. Okay, well, if I work even more night shifts

232. and stop eating dinner,

233. then maybe I could save us enough money.

234. I suppose that's fair.

235. Of course, I never knew my real parents

236. or what my life would have been like in the ocean.

237. That's true.

238. We cruelly took you in, clothed you,

239. fed you, looked after you.

240. I suppose we still owe you so much.

241. You're too good.

242. No one can guilt-trip like a mother.

243. AAH.

244. EVEN IN THIS BRUTAL DIGITAL WORLD,

245. THE CHILDREN OF TODAY STILL FIND SOLACE IN BOOKS.

246. TRULY THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD.

247. DUDE, DID YOU HEAR THAT?

248. EQUIP THE PEN! OKAY!

249. NOPE.

250. TURNS OUT THE BAZOOKA IS MIGHTIER THAN THE PEN.

251. AND THE SWORD.

252. HEY, TOBIAS, STOP CAMPING!

253. USE ALT FIRE! WHICH ONE?

254. WHAT IS THIS DAZZLING JUXTAPOSITION

255. OF SOUND AND IMAGE? IT'S A VIDEO GAME.

256. SO THESE ARE THE VIDEO GAMES OF WHICH MOTHER WARNED ME.

257. HOW DO THEY FUNCTION?

258. SEE THIS DUDE WITH THE MUSCLES OF A BODY BUILDER

259. AND THE HAIRCUT OF A KOREAN POP STAR?

260. IT'S ME, AND I HAVE TO BLAST THESE MONSTERS OVER HERE

261. TO SAVE... STUFF?

262. HERE, TRY IT. BUT IS IT NOT DANGEROUS?

263. MOTHER ALWAYS SAYS THAT VIDEO GAMES

264. CAN MAKE ONE LOSE CONTACT WITH REALITY,

265. THAT THEY ENCOURAGE LOOSE BEHAVIOR AND VIOLENT TENDENCIES,

266. MUCH LIKE THE ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC,

267. LONG HAIR, AND VACCINATIONS.

268. UH, NO. THEY'RE JUST FUN.

269. WELL, I SUPPOSE THERE'S NO HARM IN TRYING IT ONCE.

270. IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE, OF COURSE.

271. WHOA! THIS IS AMAZING!

272. WHOO! GOOD FUN!

273. IT'S TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH...

274. WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

275. HE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT PAST THE LOADING SCREEN.

276. AND THIS IS WHY,

277. AS PRESIDENT OF THE PARENTS' ASSOCIATION,

278. I CALL FOR A TOTAL BAN ON ALL VIDEO GAMES IN ELMORE!

279. SHE'S RIGHT! LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO OCHO SINCE HE STARTED GAMING.

280. HE DOESN'T LOOK SO BAD.

281. BUT HERE'S WHAT HE USED TO LOOK LIKE!

282. GAMING'S GIVEN MY KID SQUARE EYES!

283. GAMING GAVE MY DAUGHTER A SPEECH IMPEDIMENT!

284. SO WE'RE ALL IN AGREEMENT.

285. NOT EVERYONE! NOT EVERYONE!

286. WE ARE MR. DAD AND MRS. MOM.

287. HE MEANS RICHARD AND NICOLE WATTERSON.

288. AND WE FOUND VIDEO GAMES TO BE

289. NOTHING BUT A POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON OUR CHILDREN.

290. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! Shh!

291. I THINK I'M ABOUT TO SAY SOMETHING.

292. VIDEO GAMES CAN BE EDUCATIONAL, TEACH PUZZLE-SOLVING SKILLS,

293. AND HELP THE GROWTH OF YOUNG IMAGINATIONS.

294. YOU TWO, STOP THIS! OH, MY GOODNESS!

295. MY SON GUMBALL HAS DRESSED UP AS ME

296. AND ATTENDED THE PTA MEETING IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THIS BAN.

297. YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE, MISTER!

298. OKAY, NICOLE, I THINK YOU SHOULD GROUND YOUR SON FOR A MONTH.

299. FINE!

300. GUMBALL, YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR A MONTH!

301. UH, HONEY...

302. YOU'RE RIGHT, DEAR! TWO MONTHS!

303. BUT YOU ALSO GET A SURPRISE POOL PARTY IN HONOR WITH PIZZ—

304. DON'T PUSH IT, LITTLE MAN.

305. YOUR PLEA HAS REALLY MADE ME THINK ABOUT THINGS —

306. MOSTLY THAT I SHOULD HAVE LOCKED THAT DOOR.

307. HOWEVER, I ADMIRE YOUR DETERMINATION.

308. I GIVE YOU THREE CHANCES TO PROVE YOUR ARGUMENT

309. THAT VIDEO GAMES CAN BE A FORCE FOR GOOD.

310. MEETING ADJOURNED! CHOO!

311. THAT'S A GAVEL.

312. HE WOULDN'T LET ME USE IT.

313. CHOO-CHOO-CHOO!

314. YOU SEE, PEOPLE OFTEN SAY

315. THAT VIDEO GAMES ARE ANTI-SOCIAL AND MAKE YOU UNHEALTHY.

316. WELL, JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THIS FAMILY

317. SHARING SOME SPORTY FUN TOGETHER.

318. WHAT ABOUT THAT FAMILY?

319. THEY'RE PLAYING TOGETHER, WHICH IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

320. NOW, SAFETY FIRST, DEAR LITTLE BROTHER.

321. OF COURSE, DEAR BIG BROTHER.

322. THE WRIST STRAP! WHAT WAS I THINKING?

323. SORRY.

324. NO HAND AT THE END OF THE WRIST.

325. COME ON, ANAIS!

326. WE CAN'T LOSE TO THESE SLUGS.

327. THIS ONE DOESN'T LOOK VERY HEALTHY AT ALL.

328. HEY! THIS IS THE BODY OF A WORLD-CLASS GAMER!

329. YOU'RE LUCKY WE'RE NOT ONLINE RIGHT NOW,

330. OR I'D BE SAYING THINGS I'D NEVER SAY TO YOUR FACE.

331. ANAIS! TAKE THE SHOT!

332. UH, NOW, NOW, MOTHER, IT'S ONLY A GAME.

333. NICOLE'S TEAM WINS!

334. I DON'T WANT TO PLAY ANYMORE!

335. UM, HOW ABOUT WE SWITCH TO A NICE FISHING GAME?

336. [ GRUNTING, SHOUTING ] THAT'S MINE! GIVE IT TO ME!

337. HANDS OFF MY — HEY!

338. WELL, THEY'RE FIGHTING, SO TECHNICALLY,

339. IT'S BROUGHT THEM CLOSER TOGETHER. GIVE IT BACK!

340. OKAY, NOW I'LL PROVE

341. VIDEO GAMES DON'T MAKE KIDS LOSE CONTACT WITH REALITY.

342. HEY, JOE, WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING?

343. "BRICKLAYING." IT'S A GAME

344. WHERE YOU CAN BUILD ANYTHING OUT OF LITTLE BRICKS.

345. VERY GOOD, JOE! A GAME ENCOURAGING CREATIVITY.

346. RIGHT NOW I'M BUILDING A FIREPLACE IN MY WOODEN HOUSE.

347. OH, NO. NOT THE GOATS.

348. THE GOATS ARE ON FIRE!

349. THAT CHILD HAS NO IDEA WHAT'S REAL AND WHAT'S NOT.

350. YES, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW

351. IT WAS VIDEO GAMES THAT MADE HIM THAT WAY.

352. WHAT ELSE COULD HAVE MADE HIM THAT?

353. SON, SON, SON! STOP WITH THIS TOMFOOLERY!

354. THE FIRE ISN'T REAL.

355. I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT'S REAL.

356. TAKE THIS BOOK. IT IS THE KEY TO YOUR FUTURE.

357. HOW? LOOK —

358. "BOOKS PAVE THE ROAD TO YOUR FUTURE."

359. COME ON, SON. LET'S TIME TRAVEL.

360. OW! UGH.

361. WHAT? YES, I AGREE.

362. CHILDREN SHOULD READ BOOKS AND NOT PLAY SILLY GAMES.

363. A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT ALL GAMERS

364. ARE UNATTRACTIVE MALE LOSERS,

365. BUT LOOK AT THIS MAJESTIC FEMALE SPECIMEN.

366. YOU MUST BE JOKING! LOOK AT HER FACE.

367. THE LACK OF NATURAL SUNLIGHT

368. HAS GIVEN HER SKIN LIKE A PARROT'S TONGUE.

369. AND THE BREATH IS LIKE A SUBWAY IN PARIS.

370. [ SLOOP! ] AND THE TEETH —

371. THEY'RE SO YELLOW, I THOUGHT THEY WERE MADE OUT OF GOLD.

372. [ SLOOP! ] AND LOOK AT HER TINY ARMS,

373. COMPLETELY SHRIVELED BY THE LACK OF EXERCISE.

374. AND HER NAILS? [ SLOOP! ]

375. I'VE HEARD OF GAMING ADDICTION BEFORE,

376. BUT I NEVER THOUGHT A GIRL WOULD LET HERSELF GO

377. TO THE POINT OF NEEDING A CHAINSAW TO CUT HER TOENAILS.

378. YEAH, BUT VIDEO GAMES DIDN'T TURN HER INTO A GIANT LIZARD.

379. IT COMES FROM HER DAD. OH, I SEE.

380. MY DEAR, DO YOU PLAY VIDEO GAMES WITH YOUR FATHER?

381. SOMETIMES.

382. WELL, THAT EXPLAINS IT.

383. VIDEO GAMES MADE THEM BOTH MONSTERS.

384. CASE CLOSED.

385. UGH!

386. GUMBALL, RESPOND. GUMBALL?

387. GUMBALL?

388. HEY!

389. UH, THAT WASN'T A VIDEO GAME.

390. BUT HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO ENTERTAIN OURSELVES?

391. YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY ALL THE GREATEST CLASSICS OF LITERATURE.

392. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED.

393. HMM.

394. THIS IS MORE BORING

395. THAN HAVING TO LISTEN TO YOUR FRIEND'S BAND REHEARSAL.

396. OR HAVING TO LOOK AT PEOPLE'S BABY PICTURES.

397. OR, LIKE, EDUTAINMENT.

398. OKAY, MAYBE NOT EDUTAINMENT.

399. WAIT A MINUTE. I GOT IT!

400. THE ANSWER WAS RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES!

401. WE RE... DISCOVER

402. MAKING GROSS NOISES WITH OUR ARMPITS!

403. DID YOU HEAR THAT?

404. IT'S THE SOUND OF SOMEONE FEELING AN EMOTION

405. OTHER THAN BOREDOM!

406. WHAT?

407. YOU OKAY?

408. OH. IT'S THIS DARN BOOK.

409. IT'S MAKING MY HAIR STAND ON END.

410. WHAT HAIR?

411. MM? OKAY, WHAT IS IT?

412. "GRIMM'S FAIRY TALES."

413. THERE'S PEOPLE GETTING EATEN BY WOLVES, POISON,

414. AND SOME OLD WITCH GETTING COOKED IN AN OVEN.

415. HMM.

416. I CAN SEE YOU'RE GETTING AN IDEA.

417. NO, NO — JUST SOME LEFTOVER FOOD ON MY CHIN.

418. OH. WELL, I HAVE AN IDEA.

419. HEY, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!

420. I'M GONNA PASS IT OFF AS MY OWN.

421. HEY, I HAVE AN IDEA!

422. IF OUR PARENTS THINK VIDEO GAMES ARE A BAD INFLUENCE,

423. LET'S SEE WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT BOOKS!

424. EVERYONE, START READING!

425. COME ON! LET'S TEACH OUR PARENTS A LESSON!

426. EXCUSE ME. [ CHEERING STOPS, TENNIS SHOE SKIDS ]

427. YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY!

428. AND NOW THAT WE'VE BANNED VIDEO GAMES,

429. LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT BLIGHT ON OUR CULTURE —

430. THE POP MUSIC.

431. AHH!

432. YOU DID THIS TO ME, MOTHER.

433. AHH! [ SPLAT! ]

434. HAH!

435. FIGHT! YOU HAVEN'T READ THAT ONE, HAVE YOU?

436. UH, NO.

437. JUKE, HIT IT.

438. GAAH!

439. OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

440. THAR SHE BLOWS!

441. YEAH!

442. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT! STOP!

443. WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY HERE?

444. MOTHER, ALLOW ME TO ELUCIDATE.

445. WE'VE RAISED MYRIAD ISSUES HERE TODAY —

446. CENSORSHIP, PARENTING, MAKING GROSS NOISES WITH ONE'S ARMPIT.

447. BUT THE NUB OF THE ARGUMENT IS THUS —

448. VIDEO GAMES ARE SHOULDERING THE BURDEN OF A DEEPER PROBLEM.

449. IT'S NOT THE MATERIAL THAT'S TO BLAME,

450. BUT HOW PARENTS TEACH THEIR CHILDREN TO RESPOND TO IT.

451. MY GOSH, BILLY. YOU'RE RIGHT.

452. BOOKS CAN BE AS DANGEROUS AS VIDEO GAMES.

453. THERE'S ONLY ONE REASONABLE THING TO DO.

454. BECOME BETTER PARENTS

455. AND LOOK AFTER OUR CHILDREN IN A SENSIBLE WAY?

456. NO.
