The Quest

The Quest is the seventh episode of The Amazing World of Gumball.

Synopsis
Gumball and Darwin lose Anais' Daisy the Donkey doll and have to get it back from Tina Rex.

Plot
The episode starts with Anais trying to retrieve her pull string donkey, Daisy, from Tobias and Carrie. She asks Gumball to get it back from them. He tries to tell Tobias that if Tobias doesn't give Daisy back, the mountains will shake, cities will crumble, the heavens will be ripped apart, and then a meteor of Gumball's horrible wrath will grind Tobias to dust. He was hoping Tobias would believe him, but Tobias throws it out the window. The camera moves to where Daisy landed, and showed Leslie picking the doll up. At school, Gumball and Darwin try to find Daisy, but Daisy eventually ends up in the hands of Tina through the flick of a finger. Too scared to tell Anais that Tina had Daisy, Gumball and Darwin give Anais a cheap replacement, which is purple while Anais' Daizy is pink. When the string of this toy is pulled, it dances and sings in Chinese, while Anais' Daisy says "Sweet dreams" and makes donkey noises without movement. Then, one of the fake Daizy's eyes pops out and the toy bursts into flames, burning the plush to reveal the robot in the toy.. Anais knows that the boys are lying because their hands are sweaty, they have nervous body language and their eyes roll every time they speak. That night, Anais makes Gumball and Darwin go to Tina's house and get her her toy back (with some cute eye persuasion). At the dump, which is apparently where Tina lives, they find daisy under Tina's arm. Anais tosses a pole that Gumball fails to catch and hit Darwin right in the face. They mess around with sleeping tina and get the doll back, but soon get chased by Tina as she tries to steal it back. Tina chases them into an abandoned car, and smashes the roof in just the trio were getting out. They continue running away from Tina. Anais is holding Daisy and trips. Gumball told Anais to throw Daisy him. Darwin points out that Tina is chasing them now, but Gumball said that since he can't catch it will fly somewhere else. Gumball ends up catching Daisy, and gets cornered by Tina. Anais succeeds in trapping Tina under a crane claw, and Tina tells them that she has never had a toy before and that Daisy helped tina to sleep and that it gets scary at night. Anais decides to let Tina keep daisy. Tina warns the trio that her dad eats trespassers, just as her dad walks into screen and roars.

Memorable Quotes
Gumball: "What?! Why me?" Anais: "Because...because..." [makes her cute face] "Because you were the one who lost her in the first place." Gumball: [makes a cute face too] "But I'm just a little boy. And she's a giant T-Rex." Anais: "But you're my big brother." Gumball: "But I don't want to get my face pounded to a pulp." [the two of them continue to exchange cute faces at each other until Gumball gives in] Gumball: [stops making face] "Fine, I'll go." [Anais giggles with victory] Gumball: "But you two are coming with me!" [Anais and Darwin groan with exasperation and acceptance]
 * Anais: "Listen, Gumball, I am NOT spending the night without Daisy! You're just gonna have to go to Tina's place and get her back!"

Trivia

 * Tina points out that she's never had a toy before, thus giving a reason for her to be the school bully.
 * When Gumball tells Darwin that Tina's vision is based around movement, Tina states that Gumball's belief only works in movies, referring to the Jurassic Park series.
 * There are other references to Jurrasic Park, mainly the scenes where Tina chases Gumball, Darwin, and Anais throughout the episode.
 * Tina is shown to live in a junkyard, which may suggest that her family is homeless. Or she just lives in the junkyard because it's the only place big enough for her and her family to comfortably live.
 * Listen closely in the background in the scene where Gumball interrogates Leslie & Juke. Anais is still screaming her head off.
 * Tina is revealed to have a sensitive side, as most bullies do.
 * This is the first episode Juke is in.
 * 1st major role of Tina Rex
 * In this episode, Anais gives her Daizy doll to Tina, but in The Refund, she has it back. This episode may take place sometime after The Refund.
