02x23 & 02x24 - The Dream/The Sidekick

[bunniefuu]

[theme music playing]

[warbling]

[squish]

OK. Bye, then.

[shouting indistinctly]

No problem, Mr. President!

I'll have it on your desk
by the year !

[warble]

[singing operatically]

[continues singing]

[Darwin smooching]

No!

Gumball! You're dreaming! Wake up!

[gasps]

[grunting]

What are you doing?

Trying to throttle you,
but you don't have a neck!

I'm sorry, dude.
I don't know what came over me.

That's OK. It was just a nightmare.

-Can you pass the salt, please?
-Sure, buddy.

[glass shatters]

Dude! It was a dream!

I didn't kiss Penny! It wasn't real.

I know! But I just can't help hating you.

You hurt my feelings.

You hurt your own feelings
with your own brain!

-You're being irrational!
-I know!

[footsteps departing]

What are you doing?

I stormed off in the wrong direction.

[school bell ringing]

I know you're upset, but could you
at least make eye contact with me?

-Hmm?
-[grumbles]

-[Darwin] Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?
-[Gumball] Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!

OK. This is getting ridiculous.

I don't want to speak to you.
There's nothing ridiculous about it.

[splat]

Look, I can't believe
I'm about to say this, but...

I apologize... for something I didn't do.
OK?

I'm sorry, man.

I... I can't accept your apology,
especially if you don't mean it!

[footsteps approaching]

I'd like to read a poem.

"I am more sorry than there are
grains of sand in the sea.

Accept my sincere apology.

When you are sad, it hurts me.

So, please forgive me, buddy."

Too cheesy?

-I'm sorry!
-[gasps]

Too surprising?

♪ Hey, buddy! Ruff, ruff! ♪

♪ I'm sorry ruff, ruff
If I treated you so rough, ruff, ruff! ♪

♪ Please forgive me ruff, ruff
'Cause after all, ruff, ruff ♪

♪ I am your BFF ♪

♪ Ruff, ruff! ♪

Too weird?

[screaming] Ow! Ow!

I'm sorry!

Ow!

Too medieval?

I'm trying, dude,
but I just can't forgive you.

You and Penny both betrayed me.

Penny didn't betray you.

Nothing's changed.

She would never pick me over you.

Ask her.

I can't do that! She'll know I like her!

She knows you like her.

No, I mean I like like her.

Oh, yeah. You can't, like, let her know
you like like her like that.

But you don't have to be that direct.

[Penny] Oh. So,
I can have whichever one I want?

Uh-huh.

So, do you want this handsome,
charismatic, faithful, devoted

blueberry cupcake or this
backstabbing, ugly orange cake,

which should never have grown legs?

-What?
-Nothing.

Just choose which one you want.

Well, I'd always go for the orange,
because I'm--

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, wait.

Consider this. If you'd
previously expressed an interest

in the blueberry cupcake, would
you then eat an orange cupcake

behind its back before resolving
a potential relationship

with the blueberry cupcake?

-Can I have a cake or not?
-Sure.

Pick the one you want.

Look, if you want me to have
the blue one so bad,

-why did you bring two?
-Uh...

Just give me the orange one. [sniffs]

Mmm. Smells delicious!

No! The blue one is better!

No, Gumball! I'm allergic to--

Aah! What have I done?

The pills... in my locker!

-Uh, which color?
-The orange ones.

[grumbles]

[Darwin] It's not my fault
you gave her the wrong pills.

She specifically said she needed
the orange ones.

[crying] How was I supposed to know
the blue ones were thumbtacks?

It's OK.

She's fine now.

This is all your fault!

Dude, still no neck.

[sighs]

Look, what am I supposed to do?

You can kiss the person I love most
in the world, if it makes you feel better.

Yeah? Who's that?

Uh, probably you, I guess.

How'd you like that, huh?

Not as much as you do.

You feel any better now?

[sighs] Not really.

Look, the best thing is if we
just ignore it.

-Agreed.
-Ignore what?

The thing we don't want to talk about.

[scoffs] Whatever.

-Want to watch a DVD?
-Perfect.

[click]

[man, on TV] When one man stole another
man's girl, it was the ultimate betrayal.

[crash]

Uh, do you mind telling me
what's going on here?

Gumball had a dream where I kissed Penny,
and now he hates me.

You didn't just kiss her!

You stared me in the eyes while
you did it, like an evil sultan!

OK. Look, all dreams are just subconscious
representations of real-life thoughts.

By analyzing what the dream means,
we can resolve the real-life problem.

-[both] Huh?
-[sighs]

If we work out what the dream represents,
we can resolve the problem in real life.

[sighs]

Explainy dream, feely good.

[both] Oh!

Now, lie down and tell me
what happens from the start.

Well, I'm at school.

Hmm. Classic anxiety dream.

Probably represents your fear
of not fitting in.

And at one point, Dad was there.

Representing your fear
of authority, most likely.

-And he became a centaur president.
-All right.

Well, that could represent
a fear of horses...

in the White House?

OK, so, Dad has a laser
sh**ting out of his butt.

-And then Mr. Small's head fell off.
-Uh... what?

Then I found a pineapple in the locker,
so I started dancing in the cosmos.

And then Darwin kissed her!

So, what does that mean?

OK.

Uh...

The pineapple is Penny,

sweet on the inside
but hard for you to handle...

I guess.

And the butt laser, that must be, uh,
because you need to chew your food more.

And... the cosmos, the ballet,
the head of Mr. Small,

the evil look, the kiss, the laser--
[groans]

Brain cramp!

[thud]

Well, that's what you
get for trying to apply

a rational solution to
an irrational problem.

-We need to tackle this head-on.
-Like, how?

[Gumball] Uh, is this gonna work?

Yeah. The tinfoil reflects our brain waves
into each other's heads.

So, when we go to sleep,
we'll share our dreams,

and we can stop me from kissing Penny,
and everything will be fine.

Well, that... that makes irrational sense,
but why are we wearing these capes?

Uh, 'cause they're awesome.

Now take my hand and drink your warm milk.

[both slurp]

-[thud]
-[both snoring]

Well, that didn't work.

Maybe we need more tinfoil.

[Gumball] All right. Let's go
to the kitchen to get some more.

Eh, looks like we need to jump.

-[both] Whoa!
-[thump]

[echoing] Where are we?

This must be the space between our dreams.

-We need to find yours.
-OK.

-Which way do we go?
-This way.

[snarling]

You know what? Maybe...
maybe we should walk a little faster.

[squeaky voice] Yeah.
Maybe we should start running.

[normal voice] What dream is this?

I think this was one of mine.

-We better start flying!
-Huh?

-Hyah!
-[both scream]

Why are you attacking
yourself in your own dream?

I squashed a fly once!

And I never got over the guilt!

-[smack]
-Aaah!

Come on! Let's get out of here!

What the buzz?

There's some kind of
invisible force field!

Hold on. I got an idea.

-[buzzing]
-[thump]

Why isn't this working?

[both] No!

I think I know where this is.

This is a dream where I'm naked in public.

-Dude, you're always naked.
-Oh, yeah.

That's probably why I dream
about it so much.

Wait a minute.

If this is your naked dream,
does that mean that-- Aaah.

Well, at least we're not in public.

[all] Oh!

Dude, give me that!

-Hey, it's mine!
-You don't need it! It's only your feet!

That's all I have left to hide!

Wait. This is your dream.
You can do whatever you want.

Oh, yeah. [strains]

[ting]

[both laugh]

Oh, man.

Wearing clothes in a nudist mall has
just the same level of embarrassment

as going to a normal mall naked.
Let's get out of here.

[alarm blaring]

[slurping]

Why can we still hear the alarm?

Dude, it's the alarm clock!

We're gonna wake up
before we get to your dream!

Don't worry. I got this.

[blaring continues]

[muttering]

[grunts]

Dude! Where were you?

I've been in this car for,
like, five days!

I was so hungry,
I was considering eating you!

[gasps] "Considering"?

Where are we?

[glass cracks]

Oh, my gosh! We're underwater!

I can't breathe! [panting]

Then stop hyperventilating!

You're using up all the oxygen,
you air hog!

[panting] I'll just turn the air con on.

[whoosh]

[gasps]

What? Huh?

[electricity crackles]

[whispers] I think
we're in the right dream.

Aah! Dude! What's going on?

Help!

[singing operatically]

Hey!

What do you think you're doing?

I can't help it!
Your dream is too strong!

You have to believe I wouldn't betray you!

It's kind of hard
when I'm watching you betray me right now!

It's your dream!

Just think of a different ending!

[grunts]

Maybe something less painful.

Sorry!

Hurry up!

Think of something!

[strains]

Can you think of something less horrific?

Sorry! I just thought if you don't
have lips, you can't kiss Penny!

Of course I can!

It'll just be really hideous for her.

Think!

-I've got nothing!
-I'm sorry!

[muffled] You're making me do this!

I'm sorry!

No!

[strains]

Aah.

-[screams]
-[laughs]

How could you make me kiss Sussie?

I can wash the kiss off my tongue,
but it'll never leave my brain!

Get over it, dude.
It's just a dream.

[video game music plays]

-[ding, ding, ding]
-[warble]

[thud, thud, thud]

[groans]

-[coughs]
-[Gumball] Why aren't you flying?

I'm pressing the right buttons!

Because no matter how loud you shout,
I still can't break the laws of physics!

Then break the laws of biology!

You managed to grow legs!

Just put some effort in
and grow some wings!

Well, maybe you should be better
at controlling me!

How's this for better?

[beeping]

Aah! Dude! Stop!
I'm getting breakfast in my brain!

I have stopped.
I think the crouch button's stuck.

Well, fix it,
or we'll never get the high score...

Oh, man, you crashed!

Reboot.

[ding]

[scoffs] Using our imagination's lame.

It's OK. Tobias said he'd give back
the game tomorrow.

[school bell rings]

Oh. Uh, sorry, dudes. I totally forgot.

I'll bring it in tomorrow. I swear.

[both] Oh!

So, did you remember the game?

[inhales sharply]

Sorry, dudes.
I'll totally bring it in tomorrow.

Mmm.

I am so sorry.

I... I...
I'll bring it in tomorrow, I pro--

Oh, I'm so-- Mm.

Uh, I-- Mm-mmm. Uh...

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Mm. Ah, ah! Uh...

[stuttering] Sorry!

Tomor, tomor-- Tom-mor-or-orrow!

Mm... Uh, Uh... I, I, I... Mm, mm...

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm...

Dude! You've done this for so long,

now even your little "sorry"
sounds are all the same!

Oh...

Sorry.

You thought tomorrow was today.

I meant tomorrow tomorrow.

I'll bring it in tomorrow,
I swear. [laughs]

See ya!

OK.

Let's analyze the situation here.

He's abusing our patience,

retaining our property,

and all civilized methods to deal
with this problem have failed.

I think we have ourselves a case for w*r.

Are you ready to follow me into battle?

Mm. Actually, you know what?

I thought maybe I could
take the lead this time.

-What?
-Yeah.

I'd like to have
a try at being the leader.

[laughs] Why?

-Uh...
-[violin plays]

'Cause sometimes I look
at myself in the mirror,

and all I see is nothing but a sidekick.

Hold on a second.

[playing violin]

Sorry. What were you saying?

[sighs] Never mind.

-[ding]
-Aah.

What?

Look. More proof I'm your sidekick.

Are you still going on about that?

Look, you get loads of emails.

"Hey, Darwin," "Hi, Darwin,"

-"Hello, Darwin."
-Yeah, but this is your inbox.

People didn't even think
I've got my own email address.

-You want to see mine?
-[mouse clicks]

[clink]

[scamper]

Ugh!

What the--
Is that cockroach inside your inbox?

See what I mean?

So, people send me your emails.

That doesn't make you my sidekick.

Oh, yeah? Then what about...

[wheels creak]

-[thump]
-...the school yearbook?

That's your entry...

And that's mine!
It's not even me.

It's a photo of your shadow.

I'm your shadow! And look.

"Darwin Watterson.

Age two years younger than Gumball.

Class, the same as Gumball.

Most likely to be...
standing next to Gumball."

Even my nickname is "Gumball's Sidekick"!

I'm sure mine's
probably "Darwin's sidekick."

Uh, no, dude. It's "Darwin's boss"!

Chill out! It's just a yearbook!

No one actually thinks that.

Then how do you...

Explain this?

Hey, you!

Look me in the eye and tell me
you don't think I'm Gumball's sidekick!

[gasps] By Rubik's cube, you can talk!

I always thought you were
Gumball's orange bag.

Oh, that reminds me
can I have my math book?

Oh, sure. But you see what I mean, though?

It's like I don't even exist without you.

[whispers] Darwin, you do exist,
and I understand how you feel.

[normal voice] So we're gonna get
that game back as equals!

Now, follow me and do everything
I tell you!

-OK, great!
-[footsteps depart]

Oh, man!

Perfect. Tobias left his window open.

We just have to sneak in and get our game.

Now bend down.

See?
This is exactly what I'm talking about.

If I'm not your sidekick,

then why do you always use me
for stupid things like this?

If you owned a ladder,
you wouldn't need me here at all!

Shh. At least a ladder would know how
to shut up when it's helping me

sneak into someone's house.

[huffs]

[screams]

[thud]

That's for demoting me from a sidekick
to a footstool.

[Gumball whispers] OK, OK. Point taken.

Now get me out of here.

I'm sorry, but I
don't take orders anymore.

Fine! You're not a sidekick!

You're an assistant, I...
I mean, a deputy!

You're my vice Gumball!

Dude, you there?

You're not speaking to me
to make me think you left, right?

And if you did,
it's just to get some rope.

[dog barking in distance]

You're getting rope?

I'm sure he's just gone to get some rope.

Next.

So... [chuckles] ...last night, huh?

Things got a little...

[hisses]

-Well, you were there.
-Next.

But, seriously, it's good that
we're all back to normal now,

same, you know, dynamic.

-Right?
-Next.

I meant what I said.

What are you having?

Can I get some tater tots and fish?

Oh, but put the fish on the side.

I meant on top!

Put the fish on top!

Dude, why are you so angry with me?

Because it's your fault.
You made me like this.

What, a fish?

No, a sidekick.

Is this some kind of...

joke to you?

Of course not.

But do you ever think you
brought this on yourself?

This conversation is getting us nowhere.

Yeah. You're right.

So, let me demonstrate
why people think you're a sidekick.

[imitating Darwin] "Hey, I'm Darwin!
Oh, your shoes are dirty!

Looks like you could do with a doormat!"

"Hello, Gumball! Would you mind holding
my hand for my entire life?

What are we gonna do?
Where are we gonna go?

What are we gonna have for lunch today?

Because I find even the simplest
decisions baffling." [laughs]

"Look at the beautiful pigeon
pecking the mold off that old chicken leg.

Isn't the circle of life beautiful?"

[normal voice] See my point?

Ha. Well, at least I'm not like this.

[imitates Gumball] "Duh. Hey, I'm Gumball.

Duh. I'm too busy to look where I'm going

'cause I'm in love with Penny
or something.

Duh! Hey, Sussie.

By conveniently ignoring
my own character flaws,

I'm happy to point out that you eat
with the grace of a one tooth camel."

[cries]

"Hey, Rocky!

Let me help you with lasagna!

Zuh, zeh, zuh!"

Haha.

"What the what?

I should apologize, but I won't because
I always assume I'm in the right.

Duh."

[normal voice] You see my point?

It would be hard not to.

OK. You're the boss now.

You get that game back from Tobias.

[gasps] Finally!
I've been waiting for this for so long!

So, what should I do?

I don't know.
I'd so something dumb and petty,

like take something he likes
and not give that back.

Hmm.

[dog barking in distance]

[Gumball] You stole his mom?

What? You said to take something he likes.

Something, not someone!
Have you gone totally nuts?

Uh... Did I go too far?

Oh. I don't know.
Why don't you ask our new house guest?

-Do you think he's gone too far?
-[mumbling]

Oh, wait, she can't answer
because you tied her up, you psycho!

Look, it's not that bad.

Tobias will know where she is as soon as
he gets home and reads the note I left.

OK, you know what? I'm out.

Uh... Thing is, I kind of signed
the note from both of us,

with you being my sidekick and all...

Uh...

[inhales deeply, exhales]

[mutters, sighs]

We're taking this poor woman back home
before anyone notices she's missing.

Hey! I'm the one in charge!

We do what I say, and I say
we do what you just said!

I can't believe this.

You realize that this is a living,
breathing mom you stole?

Poor thing. Uh, we should take the back
roads so we're not seen by anyone.

Wait. Since when does
the sidekick give the orders?

Since the leader turned into a momnapper!

Oh, so I make one little mistake
during my first day on the job,

-and you decide I'm a criminal.
-[woman mumbling]

I didn't decide that! Society did!

Now I'm making an executive decision
and taking charge!

You don't have the authority!

[muffled crying]

That's it!
I am taking your leader badge away!

-You never gave me a badge.
-It's an invisible badge!

-You better give that back!
-What's that?

It's my invisible sword!
Don't think I won't invisibly use it!

Well, try getting
past my invisible bazooka!

[muffled screaming]

Well, I'm coming for you
in my invisible t*nk!

Invisible army, fire!

Don't make me use my invisible nuke!

You fool, you'll wipe us both out!

OK, OK. Truce.
Let's just work together.

Wait a minute.

[muffled screaming]

Oh, man! She's gonna get creamed,
and it's all my fault!

I never should have done this!

You're just realizing that now?

-[horn blares]
-[muffled screaming]

[horn blares]

[screaming]

[sighs] OK. That didn't work.

Let's take the shortcut through
Main Street.

But there's hundreds of people.
We'd have to be invisible.

I've got an idea.

People, please give generously
to the cause of this poor woman!

Open your wallets as wide as your hearts!
It's for a good cause!

I'm so conflicted.

I'm glad this is working, but I'm really
disappointed in mankind right now.

[stutters] Hold on!
I've got some change for you!

Just ignore him and walk faster!

Come on, people!
Don't be greedy! Give to the needy!

Stop! Here, here!
I've got money!

Wait! Please! Take it!

This man's giving out free money!

-[people] Oh!
-Aah!

Well, that was easier than expected.

OK. So, Tobias' house is just around
the corner, right past that...

-[both gasp]
-...police car.

[muffled exclamation]

[Doughnut Sheriff] Ah! Thought you could
hide right under my nose, did ya?

-Surrender yourself!
-What do we do? What do we do?

There's no way out.
We're going to prison, buddy.

Come out! You're under arrest!

[straining]

Come out, little peanut!

The long arm of the law is coming for you!

[grumbles]

You have the right to remain
silent... And delicious.

Ah, this momnapping thing was, by far,
the worst leader move I've ever heard of.

Oh, come on!

That's exactly the kind of idea
you'd usually come up with.

Yeah, but if it was my plan, I would have
had you to stop me doing it.

What do you mean?

I mean, you're not a sidekick, dude.
You're a guardian.

I need you, man.

I...

I never thought of it like that.

Can we go back to the way it was before?

Sure, we can just as soon as we return
the mother you stole.

Yes! The note's still here!

[both gasp]

Oh, hey, guys!

Did you come for the game?

Sorry. My mom cleaned my room.

Only she knows where it is,
and I can't find her anywhere.

[muffled screaming]

You know what? Just keep it.
