(Skip section)

The episode starts with Gumball receiving a notification on the computer. Inside it is a campaign poster for Alan and Masami. He then receives another poster for Colin and Felix, and then another for Idaho and Anton. Gumball, still without a running mate, notes how many of the students have already teamed up.

Gumball then gets a message from Penny, asking him if he has spoken to Leslie yet. While Gumball says he does not want a vice president that always loses their head, Penny sends him a video of Leslie doing a mat talk for the cheer squad that has over two million views. Gumball decides that Leslie's popularity would be perfect for his campaign, and despite Penny's doubts about Gumball having good intentions with the election, he closes their chat window to speak to Leslie.

Gumball messages Leslie, and is immediately sent a pre-typed message. Leslie explains that he has been asked by several other students to run with them due to his new popularity. Gumball tells Leslie they should run together since they have a long history together, but Leslie tells him that they have mostly been rivals, not friends. Gumball counters this claim, believing rivals are perfect when they team up.

Leslie tells Gumball that if they ran together, Gumball would have to share the spotlight with him, and highlights past events where Gumball either upstaged or got jealous of him. Gumball claims that jealousy can have upsides, as it makes he and Leslie push things whenever they get into a disagreement. Leslie is not convinced, believing Gumball would be a bad running mate as he is always saying the wrong things. Gumball, however, believes Leslie has times where he does not say the right things either.

Gumball then asserts that his intelligence with Leslie's looks would be a winning combination. Leslie laughs off the idea that Gumball has intelligence, but Gumball assures him that he does, citing the time he tracked Leslie down in the school dressing room as a genius move. The memory of said event makes Leslie feel ashamed, as now that he is popular he has to maintain an image of beauty. After complimenting Leslie's new profile picture, Gumball assures Leslie that looks win votes, and that he would surely win due to being a fashion icon. Gumball then mentions that Leslie is in on a lot of gossip, but has a heart of gold and gives good advice.

Leslie finally agrees to run, but states that it will be for president, and that he will ask Jodie to be his vice president. Gumball then asks what that leaves him, and Leslie says he should look for someone who is the opposite of him. Leslie suggests a yellow dog, to which Gumball asks to whom he could be referring to. Gumball's computer then picks up the words "yellow dog" and connects him in a video call with the 8-bit dog, who is happy to be Gumball's running mate. Gumball cuts the call, and then tells Leslie he needs someone opposite of him in terms of personality. Gumball and Leslie list off several specifications, until Gumball realizes who his next potential candidate will be: Bobert.

Campaign Posters[]

[The episode starts off with Gumball, still at the computer, receiving a notification message]
Gumball: Hmm, what's this?
[He clicks the notification, and an image opens. The image in question is Alan and Masami's campaign poster]
Gumball: "Vote for Masami and Alan, rising above the rest." Hmm.
[Gumball gets another notification. He clicks it and it opens a campaign poster for Colin and Felix]
Gumball: "Vote Colin 'n' Felix, for an eggshellent future." Really?
[Gumball then gets another notification. This one contains Idaho and Anton's campaign poster]
Gumball: "Idaho and Anton, together vegan do this?" I don't know what's worse. The terrible wordplay or the fact everyone's teamed up already.

Viral Popularity[]

[Cut to the computer screen. Penny sends Gumball a message]
Penny: [Texting] So, have you asked Leslie yet?
Gumball: [Texting] Nah, I don't want a V.P. who loses his head every five minutes.
[A montage starts showing clips of Leslie losing his head from "The Gift," "The Stories," "The One," "The Boredom," and "The Petals"]
Penny: [Texting] No, no, you need to move fast!
[She sends an Elmore Stream-It link to Gumball. He clicks it, and it opens a a video of Leslie with the cheer team titled "Mat Stalk"]
Penny: Since he started doing those mat talks for the cheer team, he's gone viral!
[Gumball clicks the play button]
Molly, Carmen and Teri: Go Elmore, Go! Go Elmore, Go!
Leslie: One and three and hold! Hold! Serve it! Get it, girl! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Come on, Molly! You're not tired! Get it up! That's it, Teri! You're gorgeoooooooous! Ninety-eight ounces! YEEEEESSSSSSS!
[Leslie's petals blow off of him, and the video ends]
Penny: See? Two point two million views!
Gumball: [Gasps] You're right! Leslie's gonna do wonders for my brand!
[Gumball puts an image of Leslie on his poster, and he replaces the ?????? with "Leslie"]
Penny: [Texting] Hmm, you know, I'm still not convinced you're doing this for the right reason.
Gumball: Talk to you later! Love you!
[Gumball closes Penny's chat window and opens a new chat with Leslie]
Gumball: [Texting] Hey, Leslie!
Leslie: [Texts a fully written message] You're looking for a vice president and you think my newfound popularity will increase your chances of being elected.
Gumball: Wow, you type that fast?
Leslie: [Texting] Control v, honey. You're the eighteenth person to message me! People stanning me non-stop.
[Gumball sends Leslie a picture of them when they were younger, in which Gumball appears to be holding the camera]
Gumball: Yeah, but you and I go way back. So what do you say?
Leslie: Hmm, we go way back.
[Leslie sends the same photo but from a different angle, revealing Gumball was actually holding scissors]
Leslie: As rivals though, not friends.
Gumball: But when rivals team up they make the perfect pair! [Starts texting] Like that one time Captain Punch crossed over with Ninja George? That was-
Leslie: Violent?
Gumball: Yeah. But it was the best-selling copy ever.
[While talking, Gumball sends Leslie a picture of the cover for said Captain Punch and Ninja George crossover comic]

Sharing the Stage[]

Leslie: [Inhales] Okay, so let's be hypothetical for a second.
Gumball: Can't we just be regular pothetical?
Leslie: No, I mean [Starts texting] say we do actually run together. You know you're gonna have to share a stage with me, right?
Gumball: [Texting] No problem!
Leslie: [Texting] No? Problem? Remember this?
[Leslie sends Gumball an Elmore Stream-It link. Gumball clicks it and it opens a video titled "Trumpets at dawn." The video plays a clip from "The List" in which Leslie is about to play his flute, but Gumball pushes him out of the way and imitates a trumpet]
Leslie: You see, [Texting after the video is closed] you're gonna need to control your weird jealous streak! I cannot face all that again.
[Cuts to a clip from "The Flower" of Gumball and Leslie at the park]
Gumball: [Sighing happily] I'm pleased we've got to spend this time together.
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​​: Me, too, Penny was right, we do have a lot in common.
Gumball: Phew, it's hot. Oh, a bench in the shade.
[Gumball chuckles and sits on the bench. He pats the other side of the bench for Leslie, and he sits down too. Both of them sigh happily and chuckle]
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​​: You know, after today, I never really thought you and me would become friends.
Gumball: [Chuckles] Well, I guess sometimes life is just full of...
Jealousy: SURPRISE!
[Jealousy pulls a rope, then many slugs, snails, and worms start falling from the tree onto Leslie; Leslie screams and freaks out]
Jealousy: Ah... I see you've met my hungry little friends.
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​​: [Tries to move, but cannot] I can't move!
Jealousy: That's right, I've glued you to the bench. [Laughs evilly]
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​​: WHYYYYYY—
[The clip then stops]
Gumball: You know that wasn't me, I was possessed!
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​​: Possessed by jealousy! Of me!
[Cuts to another clip from "The Flower" of Gumball, Penny, and Leslie in Principal Brown's office]
Penny: Gumball, I think you owe Leslie an apology.
Gumball: I would apologize but.... he'll beat me up again.
Leslie​​​​: Oh! I'll do nothing of the sort!
Gumball: Not you, him.
Leslie​​​​: Who?
Jealousy: ME! You nectar-faced, CO2-breathing, self-pollinating, photosynthesizing, soil-eating, root-drinking, deciduous, petal-headed punk!
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​​: See, he hates me, it's been like this all day!
Gumball: Look, I don't hate you, it's just... I'll explain everything when I get out of prison.
Nigel Brown: [Chuckles] Gumball, we're not the police.
Gumball: Wait, you mean I'm not wearing handcuffs?
Nigel Brown: Of course not.
Jealousy: Well, then, good luck finding me in Mexico! [Starts slamming himself into Principal Brown's door continuously until he faints; the door finally opens. The clip then stops]

Head to Head[]

Gumball: Yeah, but jealousy has its upsides, too! Like when you and I go head to head, we really push each other.
[Cuts to Leslie at the cafeteria in a clip from "The Awareness." Gumball approaches Leslie]
Gumball: Mind if I join you? [Grinning evilly] BUDDY?
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​: Don't you usually have lunch with Darwin?
Gumball: Oh, he had other plans, something to do with me going too far, people getting hurt, that sort of thing.
Leslie​​​​​​​​​: So you're not eating?
Gumball: [Grinning evilly] Oh, sure I am. I thought I thought I'd try some nice, fresh soil for lunch. [Sets a bucket full of soil on the table] 'Cuz that's what plants eat, right?
Leslie​​​​​​​​​: [Glares in suspicion] Oh, absolutely. We eat soil all the time.
Gumball: Great. 'Cause I brought enough for two. [Takes out another bucket of soil and pushes it towards Leslie] So tuck in.
Leslie​​​​​​​​​: Heh...
[Leslie scoops a spoonful of soil and lifts it to his mouth. He tentatively puts the dirt into his mouth. Gumball does the same. They both chew disgustedly, but don't swallow]
Gumball: [Muffled] Clumpy!

Saying the Wrong Things[]

Leslie: [Texting] Oh sure, we both came out on top there, didn't we? Although at least when your mouth is full of muck there's no room for your foot.
Gumball: [Texting] Are you saying... wait, what are you saying?
Leslie: [Texting] I'm saying that you're always saying the wrong thing!
[Cuts to Gumball and Darwin walking to school in "The Awareness"]
Gumball: I mean there's nothing special about plants. Think about it. Superheroes are all named after animals and insects for a reason. Yup, plants are pointless.
Leslie​​​​: Eh-hem! I'm a plant! I think we're pretty important!
Gumball: Leslie! Yeah, m-me too! Plants do loads of important things!
Leslie​​​​: Really? Name one.
Gumball: Only one? But there's so many!
Leslie​​​​: Okay, then give me five.
Gumball: Let's just start with one, shall we?
Leslie​​​​: Okay, then give me one.
Gumball: Uuuuuuhhhhh....... salad!
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​​: [Unimpressed] Salad?
Gumball: Yeah...... yeah, this whole thing is coming out wrong! Lettuce-I mean let us forget about it! It's clearly a thorny issue. Thorny!? Uhh, we should just nip it in the bud.
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​​: No, let's not! That phrase is actually incredibly offensive to plants! Hmph! [Storms off in a huff]
Gumball: Leslie, wait! Let me explain!
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​​: Okay.
Gumball: Ah, sorry, I got nothin'. I didn't think you'd actually turn around.
Leslie​​​​​​​​​​​: Hmph! [Walks off]
Darwin: You wanna do it, or shall I?
Gumball: You do it.
[Darwin shoves Gumball's feet into his mouth. The clip stops]
Gumball: Oh come on, it's not like everything that comes out of your mouth is gold.
[Cuts to Leslie talking on the phone in "The Words"]
Leslie​​​: Calm down, honey, you're being over grammatic. This guy's too shellfish and he's being like a total control Greek.
[Gumball pushes the switch to end the phone call]
Leslie​​​: Do you mind? I was in the middle of a condensation!
Gumball: Wow, I see what you mean now... Come on, tell him how annoying he is!
Darwin: [Phew] Okay. [Phew] You know, Leslie? When you try to sound intelligent sometimes, you just-
[Darwin starts choking. Gumball grabs Darwin and starts squeezing him]
Gumball: SAY [Squeeze] WHAT [Squeeze] YOU [Squeeze] THINK!
[Darwin's mouth pops and he lets out his thoughts like a hurricane]
Darwin: [With a loud voice] WHEN YOU TRY TO SOUND SMART AND MIX UP YOUR WORDS YOU SOUND LIKE A FOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
[Darwin deflates and then goes back to normal]
Leslie​​​: I- I don't know what to say... Thank you! Thank you for telling me, I'll be forever graceful for your honesty!
Gumball: It's- it's grateful...
Leslie​​​: Ah, yes, I'll be forever grapefruit for your honesty.
[Leslie walks away, and the clip stops]
Leslie: Hmm, touché.
Gumball: Gesundheit.

Intelligence or Not?[]

Gumball: [Texting] But with my intelligence and your looks, we're a winning ticket!
Leslie: [Chuckles, then texts] Your intelligence?!
Gumball: [Texting] Yeah, I may not be akerdemic, but I got horse sense.
[Leslie sends a photo showing an x-ray of a horse and Gumball's heads]
Leslie: I guess you do have teeth larger than your brain and go to the bathroom while walking.
Gumball: Come on, though! [Texting] That time I tracked you down in the dressing room? Genius.
[Cuts to a scene from "The Petals" of Gumball finding some petals on the ground]
Gumball: Hmm, petals. [Gasps] It's a clue.
Darwin: What do you mean?
Gumball: Think about it— what has petals? Flowers. What is made of flour? Bread. Who eats bread? Everyone, apart from people on made-up diets. What kind of people are usually on fad diets? Drama queens. Who are usually drama queens? Actors. And what do actors do in real life? They work as waiters in the food industry. And where do they lie about not working in the food industry? [Points behind Darwin] In their dressing rooms.
[Gumball opens the door to the school theater's backstage dressing room. Inside, Leslie is sobbing and turned away from them]
Darwin: Huh! You were right!
Gumball: You said that like it was a surprise. [To Leslie] Hey dude, could you help us decide on which one of us looks worse?
[Gumball pokes Leslie's back. The scene then stops]
Leslie​​​: [Texting] You've made your point. The rest isn't relevant to our discussion.
Gumball: [Texting] Yeah I know. But it's funny.
[The clip resumes. Leslie turns around, revealing a horrific face to a dramatic sting. Gumball and Darwin react with shock]
Darwin: Question answered!
Gumball: Dude, what in the ever-loving what happened to your face?!
Leslie​​​: [Sighs] My beauty... it's fading.
Darwin: It's not that bad. I mean, if I just squint— Oh wait, no, that's still pretty bad. But if just [Waves fins over eyes]— no, that's— that's not great, either. But if I just... [Turns around] See? That's better.
[Leslie sobs]
Darwin: [Lifts up Leslie's face] Don't worry. We'll help you get pretty again.
Leslie​​​: Thank you. [Looks up and smiles at Darwin, but then frowns angrily] Hmph! [Camera zooms out to reveal that Darwin was using a broomstick to lift his face]
Darwin: Sorry. It's just... your face!
[The clip stops]
Leslie​​​: Oh, the shame...

Looks Are Everything[]

Leslie​​​: [Texting] Now I'm famous I have an image to maintain.
Gumball: [Texting] Yeah, about that. What's this new pfp?
[Gumball clicks Leslie's profile picture. It enlarges, showing a muscular Leslie as seen in "The Petals"]
Gumball: Dude, you're stacked! You been on the fertilizer?
Leslie​​​: No, no, it's all natural. Just good lighting, angles, and nutrition.
Gumball: [Texting] Awesome! Well, looks win votes. And you're the best looking kid in school.
Leslie​​​: [Texting] Oh, hush now, that's Alan.
[Leslie the handsome picture of Alan from "The Photo"]
Gumball: Ah, but does Alan dress as well as you? [Texting] No, he does not, because he is a balloon. Whereas you are a total fashion icon!
[Cuts to the scene from "The Petals" of Leslie walking down the school hallways in increasingly cutting-edge fashion set to catwalk music]
Singer: Uh, head shot, body shot
Paparazzi, twist and bop
Uh, head shot, body shot
Looking nasty, turn and smile
Catwalk beauty, catwalk beauty
Beauty, fashion
[A camera flash cuts to a scene from "The Candidate"]
Clare: My face!
Leslie​​​​​​​​: Don't worry, I'll fix this! [Does handwork on her face]
Anais: Of course! The natural healing properties of plants!
Leslie​​​​​​​​: [Reveals Clare's face with makeup] Uh, no, I mean she might not make it, but at least she'll go down on fleek.
[Another camera flash cuts to a scene from "The Agent"]
Darwin: My makeup's running, and there's no toilet paper in the whole school!
Gumball: You really didn't need to go that far.
Leslie: [Walking by] Au contraire, the makeup's great! And the one piece bias-cut polyester pantsuit with crystal accents and a bauble hem is totally en vogue!
[The clip stops]

Heart of Gold[]

Gumball: See what I mean? You make the whole school more beautiful.
Leslie​​​: [Texting] Flattery will get you nowhere! But don't stop trying.
Gumball: [Texting] And nobody's on top of the gossip like you.
[Cuts to a scene from "The Drama." In the cafeteria, Leslie "likes" a photo of Darwin and Carrie on Elmore Plus]
Leslie: All tea, no shade, but this couple's getting sickening. And not in a good way. I say they're about to lip-sync for their lives.
[Cuts to a scene from "The Storm" where Leslie is talking to Penny]
Leslie​: And she was like "Mwah," and he was like "Mwah," and I was like [Retches]
[The clip stops]
Gumball: But under all of that, you've got a heart of gold, and always give the best advice.
[Cuts to Leslie talking to Darwin at the cafeteria in "The Triangle"]
Leslie​​​​​: I thought you played beautifully, and I'm glad you are playing the solo at the parade.
Darwin: Thank you! Although I am a little bit nervous. I get very self-conscious in front of crowds.
Leslie​​​​​: Well, I just imagine them without their clothes on.
Darwin: [Chuckles] Does it work?
Leslie​​​​​: Of course it does, try it!
[Darwin tries it. He then sees Juke without any clothes on.]
Darwin: It does work! [Keeps chuckling]
[Mr. Small walks by, but accidentally spills Darwin's peas]
Mister Small​​​​​: Sorry, Darwin. [Bends down to pick up the peas he dropped. As he does so, Darwin and Leslie look in horror as they imagine him naked with his butt in their faces] Well done on being the new soloist, by the way. When I was your age I played the bongos. Hours and hours of slapping those skins made me the man I am today. Anyway, see you at the parade! Whoopsie, missed one. [Does one final stretch] Oh!
[Darwin takes his eyeballs off as new ones pop out of his head]
Leslie​​​​​: Don't it work a dream?

Leslie Agrees to Run?[]

Gumball: So, you're competitive but generous, you're beautiful and you dress well, you know everyone's secrets, and you have a million views on Elmore Stream-It. [Starts texting] You have to run in the election!
Leslie​​​​​: [Texting] Yes! I'll run!
Gumball: [Texting] Awesome!
Leslie​​​​​: [Texting] As president! Thanks for convincing me, Gumball!
[Leslie sends a picture of Jodie]
Leslie​​​​​: I think I'll ask Jodie to be my V.P..
[Cut back to the library]
Gumball: Darn it! What does that leave me?
Leslie​​​​​: [Texting] I think you should look for someone totally different from yourself. After all, opposites attract.
Gumball: [Texting] 'Kay, so who's the opposite of me?
Leslie​​​​​: [Texting] I guess a... yellow... dog?
Gumball: [Texting] That's a bad call, what yellow dog?
[A microphone icon appears on Gumball's computer and makes a pinging sound]
[Computer]: Calling: Yellow dog.
[A video call then connects Gumball with the 8-bit dog]
8-Bit Dog: Hey! Gumball, right? Leslie tells me you're looking for a running mate.
Gumball: How does he do that?
8-Bit Dog: So I'll run with you!
Gumball: Uh-uh... sorry! Bad line. Uhh- you're kinda breaking up.
8-Bit Dog: No, I always look like this.
Gumball: Uh-uh- sorry... sorry! Bye!
[Gumball hangs up the video call and reopens his chat window with Leslie]
Gumball: [Texting] Leslie, I mean someone opposite to me in personality! I need someone... rational.
Leslie​​​​​: [Texting] Someone logical.
Gumball: [Texting] Unemotional.
Leslie​​​​​: [Texting] With superhuman intelligence.
[Gumball gasps, and then sends a picture of Bobert]
Gumball: Bobert!
