Halloween/Transcript

The Watterson house

[Banana Joe and Idaho are dressed up for Halloween and ring the doorbell of the Wattersons]

Richard: Ding dong!

Banana Joe and Idaho: Trick or treat!

[The doorbell is actually Richard's bellybutton camouflaged as the wall of the house]

Richard: Trick!

[Banana Joe and Idaho run in fear, leaving their treats, which Richard notices]

Richard: What the...? [Sadly] NO! It's all raisins and granola bars!

[In the Watterson house, Gumball and Anais are seated at the couch; Gumball has a skeleton costume on while Anais is dressed as a princess.]

Gumball: Anais, it's supposed to be Halloween, not "Sugar-Coated Marshmallow Syrup Day".

Anais: Everyone knows cute beats scary when it comes to scoring candy. [Cutely] "Trick-or-Treat!"

Gumball: Eh, at least Darwin put in some effort.

Darwin: [Pale and shaking] Dude, this isn't a costume. I'm terrified of Halloween!

[Gumball, Darwin, and Anais leave the house]

Nicole: [Worried] And be careful, and be back at seven, okay? Gumball, you're in charge, right?

Gumball: Yeah, yeah!

Nicole: They'll be fine. They'll be fine.

The Cemetery

[Gumball, Darwin, and Anais are walking through a cemetery]

Darwin: Taking a shortcut through a graveyard in Halloween's like wearing a kilt in a hurricane: it's just a bad idea.

Gumball: Relax, we're here.

[Darwin and Anais's jaws drop]

Anais: You know, there's a few places where I wouldn't recommend asking for free candy. Rat poison factories, abandoned hospitals, derelict cellars, but on top of the list? Creepy graveyard houses.

[A view of the graveyard house is shown; lightning strikes]

Gumball: We're not here for trick or treating.

Darwin: [Terrified] Then why are we here?

[Carrie appears like an orb of light]

Carrie: Because on Halloween night, the dark veil that separates the world of the living and the underworld is lifted, and all the spirits come to this desolate house for one–

Gumball: Carrie, we're over here.

[Carrie sighs and appears in front of them]

Carrie: Because on Halloween night–blah, blah, blah–all the spirits come to this desolate house for one... reason... only–

Gumball: [Loudly] To party!

Darwin: How about we party right here, just the four of us?

[Darwin dances a little]

Darwin: Woo hoo, party, party, party, party. Okay, party's over, let's go home.

[Darwin turns to leave]

Gumball: Darwin! We've come too far to turn back. We're on the doorstep of the swaggiest party of all time. So come on! What do you say? You with me?

Darwin: [Takes a deep breath] No.

Gumball: Well, you have to because Mom put me in charge.

Darwin: [Angrily yells] Darn!

Anais: This party's gonna be awesome!

Carrie: I'm sorry, but this party isn't for babies disguised as cheesecakes.

Gumball: Yeah, she's right. You'd be cramping our style.

[Gumball hangs Anais on an old tree branch over an old abandoned well]

Gumball: You're just gonna have to hang out here.

Anais: [Sighs] Well, at least it can't get any worse.

[Rain starts pouring and thunder starts roaring and Anais crosses her arms in disappointment]

Haunted House Party

[Gumball, Darwin and Carrie go inside the house]

Carrie: [Whispers] Okay, if anyone asks, don't tell them you're alive.

Darwin: [Whispers] Tell who?

Carrie: [Whispers] You're going to have to make sure that you never let anyone– [Carrie whispers too quietly]

Gumball: [Whispers] Huh, sorry, you were a little too quiet on the second part.

Carrie: [Whispers] Oh, well, what I said was you're going to have to make sure– [Carrie whispers too quietly again]

Gumball: [Whispers angrily] Are you doing this on purpose, because it's kind of annoying.

Carrie: [Whispers] I said you're going to have to–

Darwin: [Loudly] Just tell us already! Why are we whispering in an empty house?

Carrie: Oh, just drink some of this potion and you'll see. event A vial of green liquid appears; it hovers above Carrie's hand It will make you part ghost, but no more than a drop, understand?

[Gumball accepts the vial.]

Darwin: What are you doing? You're too young to be drinking mysterious potions.

Gumball: Oh, don't be a square. What's the worst that can happen?

[Gumball opens the cork of the vial and a ghostly-shaped smoke comes out of the vial]

Gumball: Um, are you sure we're going to be okay?

Carrie: As long as you only have one drop.

Darwin: See, that's the thing. Anything you can only have one drop of can't be good. They don't sell milk by the drop, do they? They sell it by the GALLON! Look at water; that's good for you, which is why it comes out of the FAUCET!

[Gumball flings a drop of the potion in Darwin's mouth, causing him to gasp; his eyes become larger]

Gumball: I think I might give this potion a miss.

Darwin: I'm not going through this alone!

[Darwin forces Gumball's mouth open, and pours in a drop of the potion; Gumball gasps and his eyes become large; a party of ghosts appear]

Ghost party!

Gumball and Darwin: Awesome!

Ghosts: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Oh!

[One of the ghosts party too hard and accidentally flings its brain into a punch bowl on the table; the drink splashes into an apple-shaped ghost]

Ghost with a hoodie: Dude, I think you're having a little too much fun.

Worm inside the apple: No, he's always like that.

[A muddy ghost dancing knocks into a female ghost who is holding a cup, causing her to spill the drink on her shirt]

Female ghost: Hey, you got ectoplasm all over my top.

[It is shown the female ghost has no body parts below the waist]

Muddy ghost: Well, it would have been hard to get it on your bottom.

[The male ghost laughs, but stops when the female ghost's legs kick him. Elsewhere, a pixelated ghost is banging on a door]

Pixelated ghost: Yo, you done yet?

[The pixelated ghost looks into the room, making the occupant scream. The pixelated ghost is slapped. A headless ghost that has bubbles coming out of a hole on its neck is conversing with a female ghost sitting on its lap]

Female ghost: You got such a way with words.

[Gumball and Darwin glare at Carrie]

Carrie: What?

Gumball: Well, how come we can see you everyday, but we have to take a potion to see them?

Carrie: Duh! Because I was born a ghost. Come on, let's go meet some people.

[Carrie floats away]

Darwin: How does that work?

Gumball: Duh! ...I don't know, actually.

[They move to join the party and the doors close behind them. Outside, Anais is struggling to get off the branch]

Anais: I'm so going to get into that partyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[Anais's dress rips and she falls into the well; she screams for an extended period of time before finally landing in water]

Anais: Dag-nabbit!

Ghosts now

[Several ghosts greet Carrie as she floats by]

Carrie: Hi, guys.

Gumball: [To a ghost as he walks by] Hey. [To Carrie] What's that stuff?

Carrie: Duh! It's ectoplasm. It's what ghosts are made of.

Gumball: [In a strange voice] I want some.

Carrie: Well, you can't.

Gumball: [Loudly] I want some ectoplasm!

Carrie: [Shushes him] You can't drink it!

Nearby ghost: Chill out, dude, there's plenty to go around.

[Ghost leans over to hand a cup to Gumball]

Carrie: No! No, don't!

[The cup goes through Gumball's hand and the music suddenly stops; the ghosts turn to stare at them]

Ghost: Mortals!

Gumball: Hey, don't worry, man, I got the solution right here.

[Gumball takes the potion from Darwin]

Darwin: What are you doing? Carrie said no more than a drop.

Gumball: What's the problem? Too square?

[Gumball and Darwin take turns snatching and drinking the potion]

Carrie: What are you doing? Stop!

Gumball: Give me that!

Darwin: Give me!

[Carrie snatches the potion from them]

Carrie: Are you insane?

[Gumball and Darwin begin laughing, but stop when they turn into ghosts; their bodies collapse on the ground.]

Carrie: Look what you've done! You've completely turned into ghosts!

Darwin: Which means I can finally do this!

[Darwin kisses Carrie, who blushes, and the party starts back up]

Ghosts: OHHHHH!

Gumball: Dude! I can fly, I'm invisible! I feel awesome!

Darwin: Wanna go dancing?

Gumball: Dancing? We're ghosts, dude, we can do whatever we like!

Darwin: Let's get out of here and go NUTS!

[Gumball and Darwin leave and go to a gas station where Larry is asleep. They draw on his face and the Sheriff comes in]

Donut Cop: Hello, Larry.

[Larry wakes up]

Larry: What can I do for you?

[The pattern Gumball and Darwin drew on Larry's face matches the face of a wanted criminal on a flyer]

Donut Cop: [Holds up a taser] You can put your hands in the air!

[Gumball and Darwin go to the Robinsons' house and posses a stuffed head on the wall]

Stuffed moose head: Hey, Margaret.

[It puckers its lips up and Mrs. Robinson drops the tray she was carrying, breaking the china. Mr. Robinson appears]

Gaylord: What is going on?

Stuffed moose head: Nothing.

[Mr. Robinson faints and Gumball and Darwin leave]

Tina: [To Idaho and Banana Joe] Trick or treat! That means give me your candy.

Gumball: [Gasps] You know what'd be fun? Being a T-Rex.

Darwin: You take left, I'll take right.

[They posses Tina, but have difficulty moving]

Gumball: Dude, it's way more complicated than it looks.

Darwin: Move the calves!

Gumball: Yeah, well, bend the knees, man!

Darwin: I am, I am!

[Tina begins to fall over]

Gumball: Put the hands out, put the hands out!

[Tina falls face first into the ground]

Darwin: Come on, let's bail!

Gumball: Wait-wait-wait, I gotta do a roar before we go.

[Tina roars, and then Gumball and Darwin leave.]

Banana Joe: Should we call a doctor, a vet, or a paleontologist?

Midnight

[Anais manages to climb her way out of the well. In the party, the headless ghost tries to touch the hand of the female ghost who was on his lap earlier, but she rejects him]

Female ghost: No! You broke my heart.

[The headless ghost gets a heart out of his body]

Female ghost: Oh! You're so romantic! I wish I knew where to kiss you.

[A ghost with a basketball for a head is holding Gumball's body]

Basketball head ghost: Hey! I found myself a couple of bean bags!

Ghost: Fancy a dance?

Anais: Guys! I'm here, let me in.

[Anais sees Gumball and Darwin's bodies dancing and slapping each other.]

Anais: What the? Okay...

[Anais goes into the house and sees the potion on the ground]

Anais: Huh? What have you been drinking?

[Anais takes a little of the potion, her eyes get big and she sees the party]

Gumball: Dude, are you sure about this, because I don't think it's a good idea.

Darwin: Come at me, bro! Give me your best shot! I'm an immortal ghost, I'm not going to feel anything.

Gumball: Alright, you asked for it.

[Gumball punches him and he spins around before falling down]

Darwin: [Face on the ground, his speech is muffled] I forgot you were a ghost too.

[Carrie appears]

Carrie: There you are!

Gumball: No, we're over here!

[Carrie sighs and teleports to them]

Carrie: What are you thinking? It's nearly midnight!

Darwin: Pfft, so what?

Carrie: So if you don't get back to your bodies by the stroke of midnight, you'll remain ghosts forever.

[Gumball screams and then a bell tonging is heard]

Gumball: Let me rephrase that.

[Gumball screams again]

Ghost voice: All ghosts must return to the graves at midnight.

[The ghosts from the party return to graves]

Darwin: We need to find our bodies!

Gumball: And Anais!

Carrie: Wait, that was the twelfth stroke.

[They look around and a hand comes out of the ground and grabs Gumball's leg, making him scream]

Darwin: Does it hurt?

Gumball: No, but it's really cold and wet and its fingernails are dirty!

[Anais is heard screaming in the distance]

Anais: Help!

[The house the party was held in begins to crumble]

Gumball: Anais! Don't worry, sis, I'm coming! [struggles for freedom] Carrie, cover your eyes!

Carrie: You realize I can see through my hands, right?

[Gumball takes off his pants and they run to the house]

Gumball: Ah, whatever! I'll get Anais, you find our bodies!

[More ghost hands rise from the ground and they dodge them, but one trips Darwin up]

Darwin: Help!

Carrie: I'll handle this.

[Carrie helps Darwin up]

Darwin: Thanks.

[More ghost hands rise from the ground]

Darwin: AH!

Carrie: It's a little too early to thank me. Get ready to run.

Darwin: What are you doing?

[Carrie allows some ghost hands to pull her down]

Darwin: Carrie!

Carrie: Don't worry, I belong to this world. They can't take me-

[A ghost hand tugs her hair]

Carrie: AH! Not the hair! [To Darwin] Just go!

[Darwin runs off, but a ghost hand stops him]

Ghost: All ghosts must return to the gr–

[Darwin blows a raspberry into the hand and gets away while the hand wipes away the spit. Gumball gets into the house]

Anais: Over here!

[Gumball rushes to Anais, who is being pulled down a hole in the ground]

Gumball: I'm so sorry! This is all my fault! I'm your big brother and I should have looked out for you. I love you so much!

Anais: That's really touching, Gumball, but I'm kinda being dragged underground by a creepy ghost hand right now!

Darwin: Gumball, our bodies!

[Darwin points to their bodies, which are pulled down by a hand]

Gumball: We've got no choice! We're gonna have to jump and get them back, okay?

Darwin: Okay!

[They jump and follow their bodies. Outside, Carrie is yelling into the closing hole the house is being sucked into]

Carrie: Come on, guys, you can do it! Come on! Come on!

[The hole gets smaller and closes up]

Carrie: No! No, no, no! No! No! [sigh]

[Carrie is left alone, until the ground starts trembling; Gumball, Darwin, and Anais are thrown back through a hole that is opened]

Ghost voice from the hole: No mortals allowed in the underworld.

[The hole closes, then reopens, spitting Gumball's pants back out]

Carrie, Gumball, Darwin, and Anais: Whew.

[A car is heard and the Wattersons' car appears. It slams into a tombstone; Nicole gets out of the car, slamming the door and breaking the window]

Nicole: Words cannot describe how furious I am! It's gone midnight! What have you got to say for yourselves?

Anais: [with Darwin's voice] We went trick or treating, but then we took a shortcut.

Darwin: [with Gumball's voice] We went to a ghost party, and it was supposed to be fun.

Gumball: [with Anais's voice] I didn't know what the potion was gonna do when I drank it!

[Gumball, Darwin, Anais, and Carrie suddenly realize something is wrong.]

Darwin: [with Gumball's voice] What's–

Anais: [with Darwin's voice] Going–

Gumball: [with Anais's voice] On here?

Nicole: What happened to you?

Darwin: [with Gumball's voice] Mom, don't freak out, Carrie can put us all back in our correct bodies. Right Carrie?

Carrie: Um..

[Carrie grins nervously, and then teleports away; The episode ends.]
