The Painting/Transcript


 * Principal Brown: So, Mr. and Mrs. Watterson. I called you in today to discuss concerns regarding your daughter Anais. Judging by this alarming painting, you madame are suffering from work related stress. You sir, are not a good role model. And these two children are clearly lacking in discipline.
 * [Scene cuts to shot of the Wattersons, all of them acting out exactly what the painting depicts]
 * Gumball and Darwin: Hahaa!
 * Nicole: Kids calm down, please! [crashing]
 * Principal Brown: When I look at this painting I see a family that- [pauses to glare at Gumball and Darwin, who are mockingly copying him] -a family that has problems.
 * Anais: Principal Brown, if I may interrupt-
 * Principal Brown: Oh don't worry sweetie, it's not your fault. It's your fault! [He points accusingly at Richard, who's fast asleep]
 * Richard: [In his sleep] I'm sorry Princess Cheesecake, the Sausage Fairy made me do it.
 * Nicole: Sweetie, I had no idea we were such a terrible family. [Gumball and Darwin slide along Principal Brown's desk, giggling] Boys please!
 * Principal Brown Anyway, for the good of your family I've drawn up a recovery schedule to get you back on track- [Gumball and Darwin burst through the poster] I'll make it short. You madame need to stop working and relax. Your husband needs to stop relaxing and work. As for you, Gumball, Darwin [The boys both gasp as they think they're in trouble] you'll be spending the day with Mr. Small, the school counselor, to channel your energy in a less destructive way.
 * Nicole: Well Principal, we'd be happy to try anything if you think it's going to help Anais.
 * Anais: [frustrated] Can I just say something?
 * Nicole: [cuts Anais' speech short and pinches her cheek] You don't need to sweetie! We're all going to get better. Right boys?
 * Gumball and 'Darwin: Uh-huh.
 * Nicole: [louder and angrier, directed at the still snoozing Richard] I said, "Right boys?!".
 * Richard: [wakes up] Yes! Of course honey. [whispers to Gumball] What did I just agree to?
 * Gumball: [whispers back] You gotta get a job.
 * Richard: [Richard is obviously not happy] Nooooooooo!
 * Nicole: [while Richard is still screaming] Well thank you Principal Brown, we'll do our best. [she and the rest of the family leave Richard, who's still screaming]
 * Richard: Noooooo! [Principal Brown looks around nervously, Richard's screaming begins to die down]
 * Principal Brown: Uh, Mr. Watter-? [gets cut off by Richard's screaming coming back]
 * [the scene transitions to a large room, where Mr. Small will instruct Gumball and Darwin]
 * Mr. Small: Welcome! To my, five-step program for undisciplined children. Step one, Primal Scream!
 * Gumball and Darwin: What's that?
 * Mr. Small: It's where you channel all your rage into a violent, vocal release! Like this: DAAAAAAHHHHH! [Darwin jumps into Gumball's arms, they're both frightened] You guys try it.
 * Gumball: I don't think I have any rage.
 * Darwin: Me neither.
 * Mr. Small: [leans over and pats Gumball's head] Everyone has anger Gumball, just look inside yourself and find it.
 * Gumball: Inside? [he opens up his mouth very wide, which makes his voice sound muffled] Do you see anything?
 * Darwin: [looking in Gumball's mouth, his voice has an echo] Uh, no, nothing at all.
 * Mr. Small: Try it anyway.
 * Gumball: Okay. [takes a deep breath] Peewww!
 * Mr. Small: Oh, you can do better than that!
 * Gumball: [takes another deep breath] EeeeheeEeeawww! [his lips sputter and droop, he shakes his head back to normal]
 * Mr. Small: Okay, Darwin, your turn. Take a deep breath, and let it all out.
 * Darwin: [takes a deep breath, he begins to blow an enormous bubble. The bubble presses against Mr. Small, who pops it]
 * [the scene abruptly changes to stock footage of a black and white house exploding, with a loud kaboom. the scene is then brought back to the lesson, Mr. Small and Gumball are both smeared by the explosion while Darwin smiles sheepishly, a high-pitched ringing is heard as well, suggesting they were deaf for a while]
 * [back at the Wattersons' house]
 * Nicole: Okay Nicole, relax. It's for the good of my daughter, so I'm going to sit and do, nothing. [she looks around apprehensively] Oh this is going to be hard.
 * [the scene changes to a building in downtown Elmore, Richard is standing around in the office with some fellow employees]
 * Richard: So, how about those FK Reports that Simon drew up?
 * Charlie: Oh yeah, I was reading them in the bathroom.
 * Richard: [laughs] Too much information Charlie! [Charlie sadly walks away as the other two employees laugh]
 * 3D Cube Employee: I think you're the best employee we've ever had at Chanax Incorporated, here's the key to the executive washroom. [hands the key to Richard]
 * Richard: No way! [the scene begins to fade, revealing it was only a dream sequence and Richard is standing outside of the building] Well, all I have to do is make that dream come true and I'll be fine. I'll do for you, my little girl! [his stomach gurgles] ...and me that key to the executive washroom. [Richard charges at he automatic doors, but they do not open] Ohh... [the 3D Cube Employee and Newspaper Employee leave the building, and stop and laugh at Richard, who groans as the doors close]
 * [The scene transitions back to the school]
 * Mr. Small: Step two! We need to channel your destructive energy into something creative. Like painting!
 * Gumball and Darwin: Oh, okay!
 * Mr. Small: When you think about painting, do you think of something like this? [he points to a framed portrait of Mr. Robinson wearing a wig]
 * Gumball and Darwin: Yeah!
 * Mr. Small: Well... You're wrong! [he slams the painting onto the floor and begins to hit it with a baseball bat] This is not painting! This is not painting! This! Is! Not! Painting! [he drops a lit match onto the now destroyed painting] Burn! You relic of convention! [he stomps out the fire and then holds up a paint can] Who wants to go first?
 * Gumball: [enthusiastically] Me! Me, me me! Pick me! [Mr. Small throws paint all over him]
 * Mr. Small: The world is your canvas; now be the brush!
 * [Gumball's eyes open and get burnt by the paint] Gumball: My eyes! It burns! [he smashes into the walls crying and then slips]
 * Mr. Small: Not bad. Your turn Darwin. [dumps paint on Darwin]
 * Darwin: It burns!
 * [the scene goes back to the Watterson residence, Nicole is furiously scrubbing the kitchen floor]
 * Nicole: Whew! So, that's the whole house washed, the car triple waxed, bleached the fruit, alphabetized the fridge and all it's contents, and I've polished my cleaning products. Five hours before anyone gets home. [she begins to glance around, she then knocks over a vase] Whoops! Oh, how silly of me, well I guess I'll have to clean that up. Oh there goes another one! Oh, what am I like?
 * [the scene cuts to Richard, who is still outside the office building']
 * Richard: Come on Richard! You.Can. Do it! [he runs at the automatic doors again, they don't open, he discovers that doors are deliberately closing when he tries to enter]
 * Newspaper Employee: [confused] Wha? What are you?
 * Richard: Shh! Keep walking. [he finally passes through the doors] Woohoo!
 * [the scene transitions to the school again, Mr. Small, Gumball, and Darwin are all wearing interpretive dance costumes]
 * Mr. Small: Step three. Interpretive Dance.
 * Gumball: What is interpretative dance?
 * Mr. Small: It's where you channel your emotions, through body moves!
 * Gumball: That sounds kinda' silly.
 * Mr. Small: [offended] Silly? You think this is silly? [he begins his interpretive dance] Mommy! Why must you work so much? Daddy, arise from your slumber, and appreciate me... I'm troubled! Troubled and loooosst... Don't hate me, because I'm beautiful! Sticks and stones can break; my bones. But I will be reborn! Like a phoenix [holds the 'x' in phoenix for a long time]
 * Gumball: Yep. That was kinda' silly.
 * Darwin: [with teary eyes] I thought it was beautiful!
 * Mr. Small: Now, it's your turn. Come on Gumball!
 * Gumball: Alright. [he does a simplistic dance]
 * Darwin: [still teary eyed] Whoa! Amazing Gumball!
 * Mr. Small: Now, pretend you're a hungry crab. [Gumball does a crab walk] Hungrier! [[Gumball gets scared and begins to hold his stomach] Now, be the colour orange! [Gumball does a pose] That's yellow! I said orange! [Gumball does the same pose facing another direction] That's it.
