The Romantic/Transcript

Chatting Online

 * Gumball. [He turns to her, still making faces] Egh, what's wrong with your face? [He receives a response on the computer and turns back around to type] Of course, chatting with Penny. [She looks at the screen as he types] When did you guys learn to speak Egyptian?
 * These are emojis. It's the new way to communicate. It's not that complicated. Look, see this? [Points to a message with a hand emoji and a crown emoji] It means [romantic voice] "Hello, princess."
 * Okay. What about that?
 * It's pretty obvious. [Romantic voice] "Wanna have a romantic dinner with me?" [He receives a message] Oh. [Penny has sent two pizza slice emojis] "Dinner is served."
 * Wait, you're having a virtual romantic dinner by chat log?
 * Well, duh, kids can't be bothered to type words, do you really think they'll make the effort to find a job to pay for an actual dinner?
 * I'm four years old and you're making me feel forty-four.
 * [romantic voice] "A-delicious."
 * Ohhh.
 * [typing a girl emoji and a spilling glass emoji] "A toast to your beauty." Oh, no! Dumb keyboard, I spilled a drink! I gotta call the waiter. [Types a hand emoji and a taxi emoji] Oh, man, I accidentally hailed a cab! It's crashing through the restaurant! No! [Penny has sent a toilet emoji and an ocean wave emoji] It wrecked the restroom, it's flooding! [Penny sends a swimmer emoji] People are swimming in bathroom water! [Penny sends a shark emoji] It's attracting sharks! [Penny sends a colorful pizza slice with confetti emoji and a "WC" emoji] This party's pooped! [She sends another message] "Sorry, I fell asleep with my face on the keyboard, better go to bed." [Sighs, relieved] Wait, WHAT THE WHAT?
 * What is the what?
 * [still 8-bit] Penny only signed out with one emoji with hearts for eyes instead of the usual three!
 * I think you might be overreacting.
 * You don't understand, I always get three!
 * She was just tired.
 * Hmm. So you're saying I should make some, some grand gesture to remind her of happier times?
 * Are you doing that thing where you just hear what you wanna hear?
 * You're right - make her remember all the fun we've had.
 * No, Gumball--
 * Oh, what was that? Do it in a clever way with a treasure hunt?
 * No, listen--
 * [giggles] It's a bit outta the box, but I like it.
 * Gumball--
 * [runs away giddily] I don't know what I'd do without you!
 * Gumball!
 * I have no idea what that means.
 * No, Gumball--

The Hunt Begins

 * Special delivery. AND TELL YOUR BOYFRIEND TO USE A STAMP NEXT TIME!
 * [reading] "Go on a quest and follow these clues to find the thing you must not lose 'cause it would seem that you forgot a precious thing that can't be bought. There's no reason for this poem to feature a mountain apart from the fact it rhymes with fountain. Brackets 'Go to the mall fountain.'" [Shrugs]
 * [panics] Help!
 * Penny Fitzgerald.
 * [yelps, freaked out] How do you know my name?? What's going on??
 * [each saying one word] The - first - time - I - saw - you - in - this - mall - I - only - had - eyes - for - you - this - is - how - my - heart - felt.
 * Huh?
 * Your next clue is at the bus stop.
 * Okay...can anyone explain what is going--
 * [making typing gestures] Now all I have to do is send this video to some intention on how to do flash mobs. [They pick their noses] Is that a booger or a piece of brain? Better put it back. [They do] What the what?! Is the camera still on??
 * [giggles] Gumball.

On the Bus

 * Please come in, young lady.
 * What's going on, Rocky?
 * I will tell you in the form of a poem. [He begins to read it, taking his eyes off of the road. He turns on the loudspeaker] "This rhyme is about the two of us 'cause we first spoke on this school bus."
 * [nervously] That's sweet and all, but can you keep your eyes on the road please?
 * [continues reading] "When you offered me a seat, [Marvin and other cars dodge him] twice as fast my heart did beat."
 * Not as fast as mine's beating right now!
 * "Your smile filled me with sheer delight and straight away my heart took flight." [The bus goes so fast down a descending road that it goes up in the air. Penny screams in slow motion and the bus lands] "Most people think I'm a naughty fruitcake, but you, dear Penny, gave me a break."
 * Brake, brake, brake!
 * That's what I said. [He runs the light, causing another collision] "Your beauty reduces me to tears, your voice is music to my ears." [Penny screams as he almost hits Felicity and Billy] "I hope you felt as happy as I did the moment our two worlds collided." [He crashes into the school, landing him and Penny in the hallway, face-down] The next clue's in the science lab.
 * [annoyed] Gumball.
 * Wait. [Holds up safety goggles] Safety first.

In the Science Lab

 * "We had our first assignment together in this class. This experiment will remind you of our special chemistry. Mix the liquids and you will see..." [She pours two vials into the flask and it bubbles] "...That chemistry is as unpredictable as we are." Probably should have read that whole thing first. [The mixture turns into a monster. Penny screams and tries to fight it off with a broom. She loses her grip and falls into a blackboard, which has writing on it. Penny reads it while throwing things at the monster] "Joke, we both know I can't be trusted with chemicals. Please go to that desert place I love."
 * Hey, Penny, don't you want me to drive you there? [He screams as the monster reaches out and drags him into the lab, closing the door. Rocky giggles] Hey, it tickles.
 * Hey, Penny, don't you want me to drive you there? [He screams as the monster reaches out and drags him into the lab, closing the door. Rocky giggles] Hey, it tickles.
 * Hey, Penny, don't you want me to drive you there? [He screams as the monster reaches out and drags him into the lab, closing the door. Rocky giggles] Hey, it tickles.

Spelling Error

 * UGGGGHHHH, I'm so tired. [Looks down and gasps. It's a message made out of bones] "Sorry, I actually meant the dessert place where we shared our first ice cream, I made a spelling mistake in the school lab, I probably should have corrected it on the blackboard instead of coming all the way out here because that would have saved you the journey and stuff, sorry, I'm running out of bones, see you there."
 * [quite exasperated] Gumball.
 * [quite exasperated] Gumball.
 * [quite exasperated] Gumball.

Ice Cream

 * It's on the house, Miss Fitzgerald. [Penny smiles at him, still dried out. After a few seconds, she begins scarfing the ice cream down] Did you notice the message on the plate? Look! [Grabs the plate. Penny hisses at him, almost making him drop it] No? [Nervously] Okay. I'll read it for you. "This is where we shared our first ice cream. I got you a special flavor to celebrate. It's peanut, like you were when I first realized how much I liked you. Surprise! The second layer is blueberry to remind you of me. [Penny, alarmed, stops eating] Oh, wait. I just remembered that you're allergic to blueberry. Why am I still writing this instead of telling Larry to stop putting blueberry in your bowl? Oh, my gosh, what have I done?! Oh, I know - I'll put one of your allergy pills in the cherry on top - that way, it balances out. Phew."
 * Did the pill work?
 * Eh...[makes a so-so gesture]
 * Doesn't look that bad.
 * Here's your next clue.
 * Thanks, Larry. [Takes the paper, gets up, and struggles to walk]
 * Here's your next clue.
 * Thanks, Larry. [Takes the paper, gets up, and struggles to walk]
 * Thanks, Larry. [Takes the paper, gets up, and struggles to walk]
 * Thanks, Larry. [Takes the paper, gets up, and struggles to walk]

First Kiss

 * Oh, don't be nervous, Gumball.
 * I'm not. It's just I've been standing here with a smile on my face for about five hours now. [He contorts his face] Face...cramp.
 * Tell me about it, I've played this tune 278 times. [The violin breaks and falls to the floor] When is she coming?
 * I don't know. The instructions were pretty clear: "I hope you've had fun doing all this, now come find me where we had our first kiss. You got this far so you must really care, now the last thing to do is come meet me there."
 * Oh, I see, so you-you kissed her after the headbutt?
 * Oh, good point. But it wasn't a headbutt, more of a blunt trauma.
 * So where was your first kiss?
 * [gasps] The forest!
 * Oh, good point. But it wasn't a headbutt, more of a blunt trauma.
 * So where was your first kiss?
 * [gasps] The forest!
 * [gasps] The forest!

Meeting Up

 * Gumball! [She is running from a bunch of rats] This place was a lot more romantic when we had our first kiss! [Stops running] Wait a minute. They're smaller than me. I can take them. [They run past her] Huh? What was all that about?
 * That's right! Remember who you're messin' with next time! [A bear approaches her from behind. She turns around and whimpers upon seeing it] Wait a minute, I can take whatever shape I want. [She tries a transformation sequence] Penny powers, TRANSFORMATION CREATURE!
 * [high-pitched voice] Gumball!
 * Leave her alone! [The creatures and Penny look up. Gumball is on top of the rocks. He dives down, spinning and flipping, before landing. The creatures back away and Gumball drops to the ground in pain] Ohhh, I twisted my ankle! Quick, save us with your power of transformation.
 * I can't control it; it depends how I feel!
 * One last kiss before they eat us? [Puckers up. Penny turns into her medusa form] Oh, sorry!
 * That's it! Make me angry!
 * I don't know. I don't think you'll have time to kick my butt before they do.
 * Come on!
 * Okay! Uh, your mom is so dense that when you said your laptop was buggy, she sprayed it with insecticide!
 * She is really bad with computers. When I told her the mouse was broken, she took it to the vet.
 * [still laughing] Now your sister?
 * [still laughing] Not my sister.
 * Your sister's so short, she has to roll up her diapers! [They both laugh] You wanna hear something else funny? You know all that stuff I put you through today? [Penny is still laughing] It was because you only used one heart emoji instead of three.
 * [deep voice] ARE YOU INSANE?!

The Gesture

 * [nervously] Uh, are you still angry? [Penny blows smoke out of her nose. Gumball whispers] I'll take that as a maybe.
 * Look! You need to take things a little easier, okay? By which I mean less terrifyingly intense.
 * [cheerfully] Gotcha. No more marriage proposals and stuff.
 * And no big gestures!
 * [nervously, backing away] Of course, of course. [Whispers into a walkie-talkie] Abort, abort!
 * Uh...too late.
 * What do you mean, "too--" [Fireworks go off behind Penny, who begins to turn around. He grabs her face] Don't look behind you! I mean, [puts his arm around her] let's focus on the future. [She looks back and he grabs her face again] There's no point in turning back.
 * [scoffs] Nothin' to do with me, must be a different Penny. [Another firework explodes, saying "From Gumball"] Heh, must be a different Gumball. [Another says "Watterson" and Gumball laughs nervously] What are the chances? [The last one is a shape of Gumball's face]
 * [half-lidded smile] Gumball.
