[theme music playing]

[grunting]

Oh, no! It seems I can't put them on.

I'm afraid we can't go
to the parent's evening.

-[grunts]
-[zipper closes]

Ready to go.

-[doorbell rings]
-Ah.

Hi. I'm here to sit on the baby.

What?

Well, duh! I'm the babysitter!

Richard, where did you find that guy?

On the Internet...

Where am I going to find
a babysitter at this time?

[clears throat]

[sighs] I can't believe
I'm going to say this.

I guess you guys are old enough
to babysit?

[both] Us?

Yes, you.
But promise you'll be responsible.

I promise to be the most responsible kid

and will handle my responsibilities

in the most responsible way.

Yeah, responsible!

You have no idea
what responsible means, do you?

[both] Nah.

It means acting like a grownup.

And most of all, it means
taking care of your little sister.

What?

Can I trust you guys to do that?

Come on, Mom. We were born reprehensible.

-Responsible.
-Yeah, that's what I meant.

Richard, put your pants on. We're off.

No!

Richard. Pants... on.

No!

[crying] No! I don't wanna go to school!

We have to go! It's a parents evening,

and we are the parents!

I'm putting a lot of trust in you kids.

Don't worry, Mom.
You won't be disappointed.

-[engine starts]
-[Richard crying]

So how do you feel, Darwin?

Pretty responsible. And you?

I feel like a new man...
A responsible man.

[both laughing]

-I can't believe this. I'm going upstairs.
-[both gasping]

-Stairs!
-Stairs!

-[both crying]
-[Anais grunts]

What are you doing?

Seventy-nine percent of stair accidents
happen on the stairs.

What does that even mean?

It means you're safer sitting here.

OK.

Welcome to Daisy the Donkey show!
We'll be right back after these messages.

[man on TV] When you're deciding
where to go for a hamburger--

Aah. Commercials!
They'll corrupt her mind!

Bad commercials! Bad commercials!

Are you completely out of your mind?

-[both panting]
-There's too much v*olence on TV anyway.

And you chose to demonstrate that
by smashing the TV in front of me?

It was the responsible thing to do.

[both chuckle]

Even though you set it on fire.

It's not on fire.

Oh, it is on fire...

[screaming] Fire!

Stop! Don't throw water on an electrical--

Fire...

You should always use a fire extinguisher,
or if unavailable, baking soda.

But most importantly,
call an adult or the emergency services.

Yeah of course, but ours was
a responsible demonstration

of what not to do
in case of an electrical fire.

How could Mom put you in charge?

What is wrong with you?

Papercuts.

Ridiculous, and look
at the mess you're making!

It's a small price to pay for your safety.

You're too young to understand.

Excuse me, but who makes
your breakfast every day?

[both] You, of course.

And who helps you with your homework?

[both] You.

So I should be in charge.

But who did Mom put in charge?

You...

So who has to do what we say?

[sighs] Me.

[Richard] I feel like
I'm in one of those dreams.

The ones where you go to school naked.

Oh, come on, Richard,
stop being so dramatic.

We're the parents now,
there's nothing she can do to you.

You get an F minus in parenting! Next!

Oh, the Wattersons.

Are you aware that your husband
isn't wearing any pants?

[Gumball]
Oh, look at that grumpy little face.

I know what will cheer her up.
How about a walk in the park?

Hmm. Yeah, I guess that could be OK.

[Darwin whistling]

Come on, it's for your own safety.

Ooh. Isn't she lovely?
How old is she then?

She's four now.

Well, now, you want a biscuit? Huh?

You want to have a little taste of this?

You can't have it,
that's right, cause it's mine.

I was just teasin' ya,
you want a little bit of--

Oh, she bit me!

You know what this means?

She must be hungry!

[Gumball] It's time for num-nums!

We have a mackerel sandwich, a potato,
and a little something for dessert.

Are you kidding me?

[gasps] Of course!

That food is way too chunky for
a little baby like her, she could choke.

I know what to do.

Bon appetit!

All right, you asked for this.

OK, bath time.

Ah. Just right.

Isn't water dangerous?

[gasps]

How do you expect me
to wash myself without water?

Haven't you heard of dry cleaning?

Fine, get out of here!

[sighs] They grow up so fast.

-Shh.
-[Anais humming]

Is that water I hear?

No! I just, uh... flushed?

Oh, speaking of which,
we're gonna need you to wear this.

What?

We don't want you to have any accidents.

Very responsible thinking, Gumball.

-Thanks.
-[both chuckle]

Now be a big girl and...

[gasps] There's no way
I'm wearing a diaper!

Get back here!

Come back, Anais!

[crash]

You can run but you can't hide!

-Run! Hide!
-Run! Hide!

-Put it on!
-Never!

[Gumball] Open this door, young lady!

Don't make me tell Mom
you've been a bad baby!

[gasps] She's not in there,
she ran out the window!

[Gumball grunts]

What's Mom gonna think?
We're in so much trouble!

You g*ons really walked into that one!

Anais, let us in.

Babysit yourself on the roof
until Mom and Dad come back.

[both] Anais! Anais!

Oh, look, a book, I hope
I don't give myself a papercut.

Anais!

Oh, no, no diaper.

I surely hope I don't have
an accident on your bed!

[both] Anais!

[gasps]

[both] Anais!

And you know what I'm gonna have now?

A nice relaxing bath, with real water!

Well, it could've been worse.

Are you kidding me?

Look at the bill,
how do you set fire to a swimming pool?

[laughs] I know, pretty good, huh?

That you're always there
to keep an eye on them?

[gasps]

[tires screeching]

Do something!

Get on the bed and stay where you are.

We'll figure out a way to rescue you.

Don't worry! I'll smash the door in-- Aah!

You wouldn't know where the keys are
by any chance, would you?

Somewhere safe.

-Ah, what are we gonna do?
-Hmm.

[water draining]

[Gumball grunting]

[gasps]

[coughs]

Hey, how's it going?

I don't know, how do you think it's going?

[Darwin grunting]

OK, take a deep breath.

[both inhale deeply]

[keys jingle]

[grunting]

[muffled cheers]

[all whimper]

Hmm?

[water draining]

Mm.

[all grunt]

Whoo!

-Good job, everyone!
-[Anais laughs]

[all screaming]

Hey, don't worry, we can use this diaper

as a parachute and float safely down to--

-[car honking]
-[gasps]

They're back!

Oh, no.

See, honey? I told you
there was nothing to worry about.

[bird cawing]

Hi.

Thank heavens you're safe!

So you're not angry at us
for trashing the house?

Oh, no.

Angry doesn't begin to cover it!

How do you burn a TV underwater?

Who is responsible for this?

Mom, it's my--

No, I've got this.

No, Gumball, it was me
that left the faucet running!

Please, sis, let your brother be
responsible for once in his life.

Thanks, Gumball.

Mom...

It was Darwin.

What? It was her that flooded the place!

I thought you were going to take the rap!

Anyway, it was clearly Mom's fault.

She was the one who left
Gumball in charge.

Well, it, it's Dad's fault
for not finding a proper babysitter!

Well,

none of this would've happened
if it wasn't for you!

Uh, who are you blaming here?

The Internet?

-OK.
-Yeah, that's good enough.

Gumball! Darwin! Come on!
We're gonna be late for school!

Be there in a second!

OK, by my calculations,

these ice cubes will allow us
to glide down

the stairs at almost
the speed of light. Go!

-[Darwin] Whee...
-[both grunting]

Awesome.

Ready!

You can't go to school like that!

You're naked!

But I can't find my clothes.

[snoring]

-Dad!
-Oh!

Morning, son!

Why are you sleeping in the garden?

Because I've been up all night
doing the laundry.

Just like your mother asked me to.

Whatever you do, don't do the laundry.

Aye-aye, cap'n!

-Great! Can I have my clothes?
-Of course.

Here you go!

They're so tiny.

And so clean.

-Kind of tight, too.
-[pant rips]

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

You now how your mother feels
about public nudity.

Not to worry. I've got just the thing.

{\an }[Richard grunting]

Whoa! Here you go!

What?

Mom's wedding dress?

I can't wear that!

But everything else is in the wash.

I'd rather go naked!

But if you do,

your mother will know
I'm a terrible father/husband!

Please, son!

Do this for your old dad!

[whimpers]

OK, I'll wear the dress.

Thanks, son!

I can't believe this.

I can't believe
this wardrobe's still standing!

Whoa.

Here we go!

[whimpers] Aah!

-Gumball! What are you wearing?
-Aah!

Shh. Dad ruined all my clothes
and made me wear this stupid dress.

I cannot let anyone recognize me.

[pounding]

Who are you?

[gulp]

Uh...

My name is...

Quick. Think of a name. Think of a name.

"Gum..."

Ball... Oops. Uh...

-Egg...
-Morning.

-...Wobble... Underpants!
-Yo.

Is that a foreign name?

Yes! Yes!

I'm... from... Europe!

Where in Europe?

Ah...

Gum...

Ball-- No! Uh...

Wig...

Battleaxe...

Ninja!

[indistinct chatter]

Can you believe that, Darwin?

Darwin?

She dropped her button.

Oh, boy.

-[school bell ringing]
-OK! OK!

Settle down and take out
your math homework!

Psst! I forgot to do my homework.
Can I copy yours?

[heart pounding]

-You can copy mine.
-No! Mine!

How about mine?

Well, well, well.

You're not trying to cheat,
are you, Gumb--

Who are you?

I'm, uh... I'm...

That's Gumball Oops Egg Wobble Underpants!

From Gumball No Wig Battleaxe Ninja!

That's in Europe.

[indistinct chatter]

Quiet!

That's the most ridiculous thing
I've ever heard!

[gasps]

But you are wearing a beautiful dress.

So it must be true.

Why don't you sit there

and look pretty, while the rest of us

get on with class.

[all groan]

What just happened?

[school bell ringing]

Whoo-hoo! I'm so happy!

Anais! The most wonderful, incredible,

amazing thing has happened!

What?

I'm in love!

She's the most beautiful,

most wonderful, most amazing,

most wonderful, most... [gasps]

Here she comes.

[indistinct chatter]

-Can I sit next to you?
-Stop! There's a puddle.

We can't let you walk through that.

Let me help.

No, let me fly you over.

I can build you a bridge.

No. Let me carry you in my mouth.

Uh...

I could just walk around like this.

Oh, she's so clever.

-So independent.
-What a freethinker.

What was all that about?

[Anais] It's the dress.

What?

They think you're a beautiful girl.

People will do anything
for a beautiful girl.

Anything!

You're right. I am beautiful.

You really are one smart genius, sis.

She will be mine.

That was weird. Oh, well.

Today is gonna be awesome!

She's as cool as night

'Cause she's as bright as day

When she looks in your eye

She takes your breath away

She can move a mountain

Make a fire start

On a smaller scale
She could break your heart

She's a lady

A fair lady

She looks like an angel

She's sent from above

She's a lady

A super lady

And where there's kitten, I'm smitten

I'm bitten by the bug they call "love"

That lady may be mine

The lady may be mine

Yeah, the lady may be mine

-Thanks, guys!
-Yeah, no problem.

Anytime.

Gumball, what's going on?

It's just like you said.

All day long, people have been

bending over backwards for me.

Hey, new girl.
How's it going?

Ah. I love being beautiful.

You should give it a try.

Darwin asked me to give you this.

{\an }[Gumball] "Meet me at the Stomach
Destroyer roller coaster at : p.m."

The he put the three X's.

To show how extreme it'll be!

It's a love letter!

-He thinks you're a gir--
-Shh! Shh! Shh!

You'll give yourself worry lines
with all that nagging.

Then you'll never be beautiful. Like me.

{\an }[people screaming]

Whoo!

She came. She actually came.

Hey, you ready, Darwin?

[gasps] She knows my name!

This is gonna be awesome!

Can't wait. Can't wait.
Can't wait.

I know this is kind of sudden,

and I hope you don't think I'm a fool--

Yeah, this is really cool!

But who am I to deny fate?

I know, this is gonna be great!

No, uh... what I really mean is...

What?

I love you.

-[Gumball screams]
-[camera shutter clicks]

So, now we see the real price of beauty.

He really thinks I'm a girl,

and he thinks he loves me.

You'll just have to tell him the truth,

won't you, beautiful?

[Gumball] I can't do that!
He'll be heartbroken.

And besides, he might tell
everyone about the dress,

and I'll lose my powers.

But maybe if I keep up the act,

then in a few years,

Darwin will move on
and meet another girl.

And if he doesn't?

[kids crying]

I want more kids!

Hmm. Who's your pretty friend, Anais?

It's me, Dad.

Hello, It's Me Dad.

-Is she foreign?
-Ugh!

Uh, hi, everyone.

Um, this is quite difficult for me to say.

But what I'm trying to say is... is...

-I'm leaving.
-[all gasp]

-You can't leave us!
-But why?

Because the king of Europe
has been kidnapped?

And they need my help
'cause I'm so beautiful.

-I see.
-Of course.

[Tobias] That stands to reason.

You better get on that bus

before you blow the whole thing.

-Now, have you got the balloon?
-Check.

This is a great idea of yours--

Staging a grand farewell
for the Darling of Elmore High.

Remember, this isn't about you.

[Darwin] Hey, everybody!

Here he comes! Quick! Get on the bus!

This plan already reeks of failure.

[Darwin whistling]

What a perfect new girlfriend day.

Just right for having a new girlfriend,

don't you think, fellas?

[gasps] She's leaving?

Well, here goes.

Hello, Darwin.

[gasps] You get more beautiful
every time I see you.

But why are you leaving?

I'm sorry, my love,

but Europe needs me.

Then take me with you!

A love this special
only comes around once in a lifetime.

We must nurture it,

take care of it, let it grow and blossom,

Like a... a... a...

-A potato?
-A potato!

You are a true poet, my love.

And although we'll never see
each other again,

my heart and all my other internal organs

will always belong to you.

[Rocky] All aboard!

Uh, I have to go now. Bus is leaving. Bye.

[grunts] Ow!

[Gumball] Uh-oh.

[gasps] She's an angel.

Look out for the sun!

The sun!

[all] Go left! Go left!

[all] Oh!

No!

[sobbing]

Why? Why?

Gumball, go to him.

I'm so sorry, Darwin.

She was really special.

But think of it this way.

It's better to have loved

and watch that love be burnt before

your very eyes,
than to never have loved at all.

So why don't you and me head home,

cover ourselves in ice cubes,

and jump down the biggest
set of stairs we can find?

What do you say, buddy?

[sniffling]

OK.

Whoo-hoo!

Excuse me.

I know this is a bit sudden.

I mean, we hardly know each other.

But I think I love you.

Your silence says a thousand words.

Hmm. I guess some people just can't help
making fools of themselves.

Look. There's Gumball.

And he's naked!

[all laughing]

[growls] Don't mock me!

I used to be beautiful.
