The Mystery/Transcript

"Who did this?"

[Gumball and Darwin are at school. Gumball is opening his locker.]

Gumball: I think cheese better than cake, because you can have cheesecake, but you can't have cake-cheese!

[Gumball opens his locker. Suddenly, a large, wrapped object falls out onto the ground. Gumball gasps. Students all start to gather around the object.]

Banana Joe: Urgh, what is it?

Tobias: I don't know!

Leslie: Ah, it smells like manure!

Alan: It looks like a rancid burrito!

Gumball: I think it just moved!

Penny: Somebody do something!

[Tobias pokes the wrapped up object with his stick.]

Lucy Simian: What is going on here? What are you poking...? Euugghh! It looks like a wet diaper!

[Miss Simian unravels the object, revealing Principal Brown, shaved and covered in paint.]

Lucy Simian: Nigel!

Students: IT'S PRINCIPAL BROWN!

[Miss Simian cradles Principal Brown.]

Lucy Simian: Oh, my sweet Nigel. Who would shave you, paint you, wrap you in toilet paper and shut you in Watterson's locker? Who did this?

[Alan, Molly, Leslie, Tobias, Banana Joe, Darwin, Gumball, Penny and Tina Rex look at Miss Simian.]

Lucy Simian: WHO DID THIS!? I want everyone in class... NOW!

[The students run to Miss Simian's classroom, revealing Rocky, who is cleaning the floor.]

Lucy Simian: I SAID EVERYONE!

[Rocky runs to Miss Simian.]

Rocky: Eww, what's that? It looks like...

Lucy Simian: We know what it looks like!

[Scene back to Miss Simian's classroom.]

Lucy Simian: I'll take Principal Brown to the nurse's office!

Nigel Brown: Nurse...

Lucy Simian: Calm down Nigel... [Walks away and back]

Lucy Simian: And if the culprit isn't found by the time I get back you're all in detention!

The suspects

[Miss Simian closes the door of the classroom, Bobert is seen standing still at stairs]

Gumball: So, what do you guess that happened to Principal Brown?

Sussie: Well, I saw him after school, so it must have happened after that. [smiles]

Tobias: So, who stayed after school yesterday?

Penny: I was doing cheerlading stuff!

Rocky: I was cleaning late.

Gumball: I had detention.

Darwin: I can't remember. [Makes a silly face]

Carmen: So you are all suspects.

Banana Joe: Oh, c'mon, it was obviously Gumball!

Tobias: Yeah! Brown was found in his locker.

[Everyone looks angrily at Gumball]

Gumball: Guys, I didn't do it. But I'm gonna find out who did. I think I know just how. Whoever did it raise your hand! [No one raises their hand] OK, whoever didn't do it raise your hand!

[Everyone raises their hand, except Alan. They all look at him]

Alan: What?

Gumball: Aha! So you did it!

Alan: [Bumps him on the head] Dude! I don't have any hands!!

Gumball: Darn, you're good.

Penny: Aren't you supposed to... look for clues or something.

Gumball: Hmmm, clues... [Wanders through the classroom] Like those paint splatters all over your pompoms!!

[A big spotlight shines at Penny and everyone looks at Penny and gasps, surprised]

Penny: No, wait! I can explain!

Gumball: There's only one explanation, it was a crime of passion.

Penny: What do you mean?

Gumball: You knew Principal Brown put me in detention last night, and overwhelmed by your feelings for me, you confronted him in his office.

[Recreation]

Penny: Please, let him go. I love him, Principal Brown!

Nigel Brown: He's nothing but a rouge!

Penny: But he's noble and strong and brave and handsome! So handsome... He might the best looking guy on the whole school!

[Leslie interrupts him]

Leslie: Gumball, have you seen your yearbook photo?

[He has a derpy pose and face on the photo]

Gumball: No interruptions, please.

[Back to recreation]

Nigel Brown: We all know how handsome Gumball is, but he's still in detention!

Penny: Then you leave me no choice!

Gumball: It was then that you pompom him unconscious-

[Penny hits Principal Brown with her pompom]

Gumball: Shaved off his hair in punishment, covered him in paint to humiliate him, wrapped him in toilet paper to keep him quiet, and stuffed him in my locker as proof of your arranged obsession for me.

[end of recreation]

Gumball: It was you!

[Penny gasps]

Gumball: But I forgive you because I am madly in love with you too.

Penny: Yeah, well, that's not quite what happened. I finally finished my painting at the cheerleaders, and I went to hang it in the stairwell. I guess it was still wet, and I must have got paint on my pompoms.

Gumball: And did anyone see you supposedly hang this alleged painting in this "so-called" stairwell?

Penny: Yeah. You did.

[Flashback to yesterday at the school stairwell, Penny hangs her finished pianting]

Gumball: Hey, Penny! I love you!...your painting! your painting. I love your painting.

[Gumball facepalms,end of flashback]

Penny: Remember?

Gumball: Haha. Oh, yeah.

[The spotlight switches off]

Alan: So if Penny didn't do it, who did?

Gumball: Hmmm. It must have been...you!

[Gumball points to Rocky but spotlight doesn't switch on]

Gumball: I said it was him!

[The spotlight shines at Gumball but slowly moves to Rocky. Rocky and the student gasps when the spotlight shines on Rocky]

Rocky: Why me?

Gumball: Well...

[Another recreation begins]

Gumball: Yesterday, you were wandering around when suddenly, at the age of 27, you've realized your youth was behind you.

Rocky: Oh.

Gumball: Then all your hair fell out.

Rocky: Bummer.

Gumball: When you saw Principal Brown's lucious hairy coat, you overcome with jealousy. And acting on impulse, you attacked him. You plucked out all of his hair, dyed it the right color, and used it to cover your balding shame. And misplanting to any investigation, you painted Principal Brown, wrapped him in toilet paper, and stuffed him into my locker, the perfect crime, saying one thing!

Rocky: Huh?

[End of recreation]

Gumball: When you stuffed the new hair on your body, there wasn't quite enough, which explains THIS BALD SPOT ON YOUR HAND!

[The students gasp]

Rocky: Dude, you've got it all wrong.  I got this bald spot when I was cleaning yesterday! You see, I spill some really strong chemicals on my hand, and burnt off the hair! See? [Rocky spills the chemicals onto his hands] AGHHHHHHHHH!

Gumball: If that's the case, how come I can just pull your hair right off?

[Gumball pulls Rocky's hair]

Rocky: Agh! Oh! Stop! Ah! No! Agh!

Gumball: Oh, OK then, I guess it wasn't you.

[The spotlight switches off]

Darwin: Who could it be? All this suspense is making me sweaty.

Gumball: Why don't you just wipe your brow with that toilet paper suspiciously stuck to the bottom of your shoe? [Gasps] CLUEEEEEE! [Gumball swells up tears] I can't believe I'm gonna have to say this buddy, but, IT WAS YOU!

[The students and Darwin gasp and the spotlight shines on Darwin]

Darwin: Yes! Yes! I did it! I'm a monster! A monster! Just lock me up. I'm a menace to society. [Darwin starts crying] Take me away!

Gumball: I rest my case.

Carmen: But Darwin couldn't have done it!

[The spotlight switches off]

Darwin: Really?

Leslie: We all saw you on the bus when we went home.

Darwin: Then how'd explain the toilet paper?

[The spotlight shines on Darwin again]

Tobias: You've had it on your feet all day, dude, didn't you notice?

[Flashback to where Darwin is walking with toilet paper on his shoe then the school bus door cuts it off]

Darwin: No!

[The spotlight switches off]

Darwin: Don't remember any toilet paper!

Gumball: So it wasn't Penny, it wasn't Rocky, and it wasn't Darwin. Which leaves us with only one suspect. The only person who knew the combination to the locker Principal Brown in. You!

[The students gasp as Gumball points at himself and the spotlight goes on him]

Gumball: Oh, heh heh.

[The students go "Hm!"]

Lucy Simian: That's all the proof I need. You're coming with me, Watterson!

Gumball: Wait! You're missing one bit of crucial evidence!

Lucy Simian: And what's that?

Gumball: I'll just...go and get it.

[Gumball runs away]

Lucy Simian: He's not coming back, is he?

Class: No.

Lucy Simian: No homework for the one who catches him!

[The class runs off]

The chase

[Gumball runs to the library. Molly, Leslie, Tina, Rocky, Tobias, Idaho, Carmen and Anton are blocking him, then Molly kicks Banana Joe but Gumball jumps over and Banana Joe lands in Anton's face becoming a Banana toast spread. Gumball then jumps over Molly and Leslie before jumping on a ladder]

Gumball: Ahahaha! OW!

Tobias: Quick! Get me something else to throw!

[Tobias and Anton look at Idaho]

Idaho: What? Aah!

Gumball: Stop throwing stuff at me, I'm innocent!

[Gumball, Tobias, and Anton fly to bookshelves, causing Carrie, Juke, and Teri to look up from their books then Gumball jumps from the falling bookshelves, Tina tries to bite Gumball and misses, causing the bookshelves to fall on her]

Tina: Ouch.

Librarian: Shh!

[Gumball is back in the hallway, running from Tina, Tobias, Anton, and Leslie]

Gumball: Leave me alone! I'm innocent! I would never hurt Principal Brown!

Nigel Brown: I think I'm feeling a little better.

[Gumball runs into his bed causing him to roll out the window and Gumball gasps]

Nigel Brown: This is extraordinarily painful. It couldn't possibly get any worse!

[A school bus reverses and runs over him]

Students: Ohhhh!

The truth

[Gumball runs into Bobert]

Gumball: Bobert? Ah! Don't turn me in! Oh, you've been switched off.

[Gumball turns Bobert on]

Gumball: Ah! Don't turn me in!

Bobert: Why?

Gumball: Principal Brown was attacked, any everyone thinks it was me!

Bobert: But it wasn't you.

Gumball: Exactly! Wait, how come you believe me?

Bobert: I saw...everything.

Gumball: What?

Lucy Simian: GUMBALL! Get him!

[Everyone runs toward him]

Gumball: STOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! New evidence has come to light! Tell them what happened, dude!

Bobert: I can do better than that. I can play you my memory. First, Penny hung her hideous painting on the wall.

Penny: Hey!

Bobert: Then, Gumball turned up, looking love struck as usual.

Gumball: Hey!

Bobert: Next, Darwin walked down the stairs, carrying toilet paper like a nin com poop.

Darwin: What's a nin com poop?

[Gumball whispers in Darwin's ear]

Darwin: Hey!

Bobert: Then, Rocky dropped a bottle of chemicals on the floor, looking quite old.

Rocky: Hey!

Bobert: Then came Principal Brown, who's office door suddenly flew open, making him disoriented and dizzy. He fell down the stairs, rolling himself into Darwin's toilet paper, smashed into Penny's artwork, covering his face in paint, fell back into Rocky's chemicals, burning off his hair, then down more stairs, rolling himself into even more toilet paper, and finally into Gumball's locker.                                                 

Penny: But why didn't you say something before?

Bobert: Well, it was so funny, I blew a fuse. I was like, "Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha." ::[Bobert blows a fuse]

Gumball: He's done it again.

[Gumball turns Bobert on]

Bobert: On.

Penny: So, the true culprit was the one who threw open Principal Brown's door!

Gumball: Exactly. And I know just how to find out. Whoever opened the door, put your hand up. Oh, come on!

Bobert: Why don't I just replay the tape?

Gumball: Stop there! Now forward slowly. Freeze! There. Zoom in 50%. Zoom in 100%. Zoom in another 100%. Enhance video.

[It was Miss Simian who opened the door and the students gasps]

Gumball: It was you all along! We're going to tell Principal Brown!

Lucy Simian: Tell him what?

Gumball: Well, we just saw on Bobert's memory.

Lucy Simian: What memory?

[Miss Simian erases Bobert's memory]

Bobert: Erase memoryyyyyyy. Goodbye. [in slow motion]

Darwin: That's not fair!

Gumball: How do you sleep at night, Miss Simian?

Lucy Simian: Like a baby. Ahahahaha!

[Principal Brown opens his door and Miss Simian flies out the window]

Nigel Brown: Has anyone seen Miss Simian?

Darwin: Don't worry, Miss Simian! We just called an ambulance!

[Ambulance reverses up and hits Miss Simian]

Students: Oh!
