Communication Troubles
[Episode begins at the lookout point on a beautiful evening with a pink sunset over the ocean. Principal Brown and Miss Simian drive up to the cliff.]
Lucy Simian: Oh, Nigel, what a beautiful spot you've brought me to!
Nigel Brown: Ah, yes, sorry, this satnav's been playing up all week. [taps his satnav screen] Silly thing. We should've been at the city dump by now.
Lucy Simian: But look at the sunset. Isn't it romantic?
Nigel Brown: Oh! That reminds me, we've really gotta clean this car, it's so messy!
Lucy Simian: [leans in, whispers] It's the perfect evening to say those three little words to show how much you care about me.
Nigel Brown: Oh. Um, th-th-three little words, eh? [The car starts rolling down as Lucy leans in for a kiss. ] Um, uh-h....Parking brakes off. [She fumes as they pick up speed and crash at the bottom.]
Advice from the Single Guys
[The next day, in the teachers' lounge. Mr. Corneille is reading a book while Mr. Small stares despondently at his phone.]
Mister Small: Oh, man. Online dating is complicated. Women are so hard to read these days. Like, what does this mean? [Shows his phone to Mr. Corneille] "Your payment has been declined."
Moonchild Corneille: You do realize that's a pizza delivery app, right? What did you think those chili symbols meant?
Mister Small: Fiery?
[Principal Brown walks in, looking dejected.]
Nigel Brown: Ugh!
Moonchild Corneille: Whoa, what's wrong?
Nigel Brown: I don't know how to express my feelings towards Lucy!
Moonchild Corneille: [suavely] Heh, feelings? You don't need feelings! You're a guy! Feelings on guys are like elbows on a fish. [whispers] They just get in the way.
Mister Small: Do fish have elbows?
Nigel Brown: Look, I know how I feel. I just can't seem to find the words.
Moonchild Corneille: Huh! Words? You don't need words, you're a guy! Words from a guy are like arm bands on an octopus. You don't need them.
Nigel Brown: So what do I say?
Moonchild Corneille: You say nothing. A guy should be silent. A lone wolf, riding off into the sunset.
Nigel Brown: A wolf riding a horse? Wouldn't the wolf eat the horse?
Moonchild Corneille: Not necessarily, sometimes it's the other way round.
Mister Small: So the horse is riding the wolf?
Nigel Brown: Or is the horse eating the wolf?
Lucy Simian: [off-screen] NIGEL!!! [Mr. Small and Mr. Corneille smile and nod. She storms in, carrying a box full of trash.] Nigel, where were you?! I had to clean out the car on my own! [Nigel stays silent] Nigel?
Nigel Brown: [in his head] Okay, okay, I'm a guy. I don't need feelings, I don't need words. I'm a silent horse riding a wolf with armbands. Wait a minute—none of this makes any sense! [out loud] Look, Lucy, I—[She's gone] Uh, where'd she go?
Moonchild Corneille: Ah, you weren't saying anything, so she walked out and slammed the door.
Nigel Brown: Uggghhh! Why did I just take relationship advice from a single guy who thinks fish have elbows?
[Lucy is storming down the hall, still holding her box]
Lucy Simian: First, he won't tell me how he feels, now he won't talk to me at all! Well, I'm tired of getting hurt, and I won't get hurt ag-AAAAHHH!! [Right as she approaches her classroom door, Gumball and Darwin step out. The door knocks her on the ground and sends the contents of her box flying.] PICK THAT UP AND TAKE IT TO THE TRASH!!!
Gumball: Uh, sure!
Lucy Simian: No back chat! Got it? [Gumball and Darwin exchange confused looks] ANSWER ME!!!
Darwin: Uh....
Lucy Simian: No answering back! Get on with it! [They hop to it] AND NO RUNNING IN THE CORRIDORS!!! [Walks into her classroom and slams the door. Gumball peers into the room, sees her sitting at her desk, and leaves.] If that's the way he feels, then maybe I should take some time out of this relationship! [Takes out a bag and starts putting all her belongings inside. She looks morosely at a picture of Nigel and tries to stuff it into her bag, but it won't fit, so she takes out a neck pillow to make room and leaves it on her chair. Finally, she takes her bag and leaves.]
A Dangerous Wish
[Later, Gumball and Darwin are taking out the trash behind the school. Darwin is too short to reach the bin, so he throws each piece of trash inside one by one.]
Darwin: This is so unfair!
Gumball: Yeah, I'm getting tired just watching you. I wish someone would bring her down to size!
Darwin: Yeah, and I wish she's just soften up a little!
[A voice pipes up from inside the trash can.]
Gnome Keychain: Your wish is my command!
[The two flinch. Darwin looks inside the box and takes out a gnome keychain.]
Darwin: Oh, cute! It's a little gnome! We should take it home and build a little gnome house out of matchsticks and mushrooms, and find him a little gnome wife so they can have loads of little gnome babies, then they have to move to a bigger house, and they can't keep up with the mortgage payments, and they move to a horrible part of gnome town, and all the fancy gnomes pretend not to know him in the supermarket so they have to—[Gumball flings the gnome from Darwin's hand into the trash ]
Gumball: It's for your own good, dude.
[Darwin picks up the box and the two walk away.]
Gnome Keychain: Your wish is my command! As long as you wish for cheaper gas prices.
Breaking It To Principal Brown
[Gumball and Darwin go back into Miss Simian's room, but it's empty.]
Gumball: Miss Simian? We're done!
Darwin: Where is she?
Gumball: [Notices the neck pillow and gasps] Dude. Look what's happened!
Darwin: What?
Gumball: I think our wishes were granted! And Miss Simian's been transformed into a—
Darwin: [Points to chair] But that chair's always been there!
Gumball: No, dude. The neck pillow!
Darwin: [gasps] "I wish she'd just soften up!"
Gumball: [in horror] "Someone needs to bring her down to size!"
[Principal Brown walks in]
Nigel Brown: Lucy! I've been thinking, and I'm sorry I... [looks around] Where's Miss Simian?
Gumball: I'm sorry, Principal Brown. We made a wish on a magic gnome and now Miss Simian's been transformed into a—
Nigel Brown: Don't be ridiculous, that chair's always been there.
Gumball: No, not the chair. She's been transformed into—
Nigel Brown: [gasps] A desk! Oh, my darling Lucy! [hugs the desk] What have they done?!
Darwin: Mmmm, no, not the desk.
Nigel Brown: [runs to the window] Lucy! You're a window?
Gumball: No...
Nigel Brown: [holding the globe] A globe?
Gumball and Darwin: Mm-mm.
Nigel Brown: [holding a map] Huh?
Darwin: No.
Nigel Brown: [holding a plant] Huh?
Gumball: No.
Nigel Brown: [holding the phone] Huh?
Darwin: No.
Nigel Brown: [holding a pen] Huh?
Gumball: No.
Nigel Brown: [pointing to the fire alarm] Huh?
Darwin: No.
Nigel Brown: [holding up a used tissue] Huh?
Darwin: Eww!
Nigel Brown: [picks up various books] Huh?
Gumball: No, no...
Darwin: No. Why are we making him guess?
Gumball: [shrugs, turns to Principal Brown who is sobbing on the chair] She's been turned into a neck pillow.
Nigel Brown: Hmm?
Gumball: The one you're sitting on.
Nigel Brown: [jumps off the chair] AAHH!! Oh, Lucy, is it really you? It's the kind of thing you would think happens to other people!
Gumball: It's okay. We'll get that magic gnome out of the trash and break the spell! Don't worry!
[They look outside and gasp upon seeing the gnome being dumped into the garbage truck with the trash.]
Gnome Keychain: Your wish is my command!
Gumball: [waving his arms frantically to the driver] Hey! HEY! HEEEEYYYY!!
[Hank, who is driving the truck, notices this and smiles.]
Hank: [cheerfully to Gumball] Hey! [to himself] Hm. What a nice kid. [He keeps driving without a care until he swerves offroad, lands in a ditch, and explodes.] DARN KID!!
[Back in the classroom]
Gumball: [to Principal Brown] Okay, now you can worry.
Nigel Brown: Maybe this all happened for a reason.
Gumball: Including that truck driver going to the hospital?
Nigel Brown: Maybe not all of it. [clutches the neck pillow] All she wanted me to do was tell her how I feel! And now it's too late.
Darwin: Well, true love usually breaks the spell!
Gumball: Yeah! Just do something really romantic and she'll transform back into the hairy psycho tyrant you seem to have chosen as a life partner!
Nigel Brown: [sighs] Oh, I'm really not good at all that kind of stuff.
Darwin: We can help you practice until you are!
Gumball: Do we have to? I know we're kinda responsible, but wouldn't life be nicer if we weren't taught by someone who sounds like a jet engine dragged on a blackboard made from broken glass?
[They hear Principal Brown sobbing. He turns around with big, wet puppy dog eyes. Gumball looks at Darwin, who makes the same face, and then at the neck pillow.]
Gumball: Oh, fine! Can't believe I've been guilt-tripped by a neck pillow. I mean, who am I, Mr.--Actually, no, that's never happened to anyone before.
A One-Way Ticket Out
[Miss Simian walks up to the ticket booth at the bus station.]
Lucy Simian: A ticket out of town, please.
Milk Guy: Uh, one way? Are you sure?
Lucy Simian: [looks back and sighs] Yes. One way. Nothing left for me in this old town. I guess I gotta just-
[An injured football player steps out from the line that has formed behind her]
Football Player: Yeah, me too, lady! Nothing left for me here. Gonna pull up sticks and-
Lucy Simian: All right. 'Scuse me? I hadn't finished my thing!
Actress: So long, Elmore. This town's got nothin' but bad memories!
Pig Doctor: Yeah, I guess this sleepy little town isn't ready for involuntary head transplants, so I'm packing up, moving on out, and leaving!
Egg Ringmaster: [Pops out from behind the football player] Not me! I'll take a return ticket! [starts tap dancing] For I am coming back to continue my lucrative career as a tap danc--[sprains his foot] AAAHH!!! Aahh...ahhh..ah...I'll make it one way.
An Act of True Love
[Gumball, Darwin, and Principal Brown are in the park]
Gumball: Okay, Principal Brown, just tell Miss Simian what's on your mind.
