[bus engine revving]

Why is everyone so uncool
on this school bus?

Is it really that bad to move
so we can sit together?

That's animal instinct, man.

Everyone's protecting their territory.

Oh, come on.
People aren't animals, dude.

Hey, Tobias.
Do you mind moving so we can--

[Darwin screams]

-Hey! Carrie!
-[muffled rock music plays]

Carrie! Carrie!

[music intensifies]

Carrie! Carrie!

Carrie! Carrie!

Carrie! Carrie!

Carrie! Carrie!

I could do this forever.
I don't have bones.

-[Gumball growls]
-You can have my seat.

[Sussie hums]

Here's a lesson
to you selfish seat hogs!

Never judge a book by its cover.

No matter how weird

and... bald and a bit scary
it might be.

Thank you, Sussie.
You're a gentleman and a lady.

Whoa! What is that?

The leather makes Sussie sweaty.

Well, on second thoughts,
what kind of gentleman

could rob such a fine lady
of her seat?

Please, take it back. I insist.

[grunts] Whoo!

Hot flash. Hot flash.

I've got such a craving for some
anchovies and peanut butter.

Oh, uh- [clears throat]

Hurry up, please.
I'm sitting for two.

They grow up so fast.

Hey! Banana Joe!
How you doin', buddy?

Do you mind moving up
a seat so we can both--

I'd move for anyone except

you two backstabbing
dweeb muffins!

[both gasp]

[Gumball] Why are you so angry, buddy?

Is it because we didn't defend you

when Tobias said your mom
is so overripe,

she's got fruit flies?

Is it because we left you
at that gas station

on the way to Daisyland
on your birthday

because we were almost there,

we decided to just
pick you up on the way home?

Is it because we forgot about
you on that camping trip

and you had to sleep under
a tent of your own skin

and eat a bit of yourself to survive?

And you waited for three days
in the woods,

but then decided to
walk home and got lost?

And winter came and you tried
to light that fire

with the lighter fluid
we said we left you,

but it wasn't lighter fluid,
it was shampoo?

And you got frostbite,
and that's kinda why you have no feet?

[scoffs]

I swear to you, my banana friend,
by the end of the weekend,

we shall discover
the source of your anger

and appease your wrath!

No, dude. We shall not.
It's our special weekend.

And nothing's gonna ruin it!

[whispers]
Don't worry. We'll work it out.

[clattering]

No peanut butter!

The more time spreading
the stuff,

the less time playing the game.

[loud thud]

I can't believe you'd go
and get tangled up

in some menial banana problems
and forget about our weekend.

I like Banana Joe.
He's, like, my favorite fruit.

But I'm not gonna ruin the gaming weekend
of the century

for a weekday friend.

Do you remember how excited
we were about this game?

[beeps]

Dude, there's a new Zelmore
coming out.

[upbeat music plays]

Yeah!

[both laughing maniacally]

This is gonna be so good!

Dude! Good so much game,
can't words say!

[panting]

Dude! The game!

The game, dude!

The game!

When it comes out,
you and me, buddy,

we're gonna buy this game
and play it 'til we're purple.

Let's check if there's any more info.

There's nothing.

-Hit "refresh."
-Still nothing.

-Hit it again.
-Still nothing.

-Hit it again.
-Still nothing.

Hit it again.

I know. But what about Joe?

He was so angry, he looked like
he was gonna get a nosebleed.

I'm sorry. Can you repeat that?

'Cause all I heard was...

[babbling mockingly]

And something about bailing
on the best weekend ever!

Yeah, you're right.

I'm really sorry to have
forgotten about your weekend.

It's definitely more important
than a friend who's hurt.

Possibly scarred forever,
because of something we...

Well, let's be honest,
more likely you have done.

[cracking]

What is that?

That's the weight of the guilt.

[echoing] Give in to the nice side.

Help the less fortunate

and make the guilt go away,
my friend.

-[cracking]
-Ow! Make it stop!

Surrender to your kindness, Gumball.

It's nice to be nice.

[cracking]

[gasps]

Your guilt is strong, my friend.

But it is no match
for the power of my selfishness.

[squeaking]

Hey, what do you call a fish
with no eyes?

A "fsh."

[laughs]

[sighs]

If a banana makes a joke
and no one's around to hear it,

does that banana even exist?

[Mozart's "Requiem" plays]

Dude, let's have a soda.

What the...
Did you just say something?

What? I don't know
what you're talking about.

Did you get that?
Let's have a soda!

Yes, you! Meet me outside
by the machine!

Hmm... [gasps]

[whispers] Let's get out of here.
I'm getting shopping fever.

I'm starting to hear voices.

-Let's just get the game.
-Yeah.

[whispers] Good disguise.

-See you at the soda machine.
-OK.

Oh, your mom says hi, by the way.

Are you guys here for Zelmore?

Do you know what time
the store opens?

[giggles]

When your high score
gets into double digits, newb!

Pwnd.

-[both laugh]
-[gasps]

This is what happens
when you spend all your time

flaming people on web forums.

You don't get girlfriends.

[beeping]

[whirring]

Hey! Have you ever heard
of personal space?

Oh, hi, Ocho.

[chuckles nervously] Hi.

[whirring]

Look, dude, I know you have trouble
handling your intensity,

and we're all excited
about the game,

but could you just calm down a little?

I am calm!

Oh, that's cool,
'cause I'm really calm, too, now!

Well, not as calm as me!

I'm the calmest man on the planet!

Yeah? Any calmer, I'd be asleep!

I'm as calm as a moonlit lake!

[Ocho] I'm the calmest!

[Gumball] I'm as calm as the petal
that falls softly from a rose!

I'm as calm as the stream
that flows gently

past the willow tree!

[arguing continues]

Hey, Joe. I know you're angry at us.

I just want to find out why.

Well, I've been thinking a lot recently
about our friendship.

And I just feel that maybe I...

[shuffles]

Are you shuffling away from me?

No!

I feel like it's you
who's moving away from us.

It's true that recently
I've felt a little--

[shuffling]

Can you at least finish your soda
and pretend you care for a second?

-[crashing]
-Hey, what was that?

I'm pretty sure you're supposed
to do your diversion

before pouring the soda
on the floor.

[arguing continues]

Look, I just can't
hang out right now.

But can we sort something out for later?

Well, I am making a new video tonight,

so you guys should come around...

Are you listening?

Come help me make my video
tonight!

-Where? When?
-The gym. At the school!

And don't let me down!

[Darwin] I won't! I promise!

[Gumball] I didn't need your help.
It's not like I got my butt kicked.

Yeah, I guess it
looks more like a head-butt...

On your butt.

Shhh...

[whispers] Don't spoil this moment.

I'm gonna open the box.

[excited humming]

[whirring]

Dude, where are you going?

I... need to powder my nose.

Are you gonna sneak
out of the window,

do something in secret
for a while,

and sneak back here and pretend
you were never gone?

No!

-All right, then.
-[beeping]

[sighs] How do I get out of here now?

Ah-ha!

[screams]

Darwin?

Darwin? Buddy?

Are you OK?

That was quite a fall.
Lucky you landed on these.

-[cracking]
-[screams] My back!

-What are they?
-Bricks!

Because I knew you'd bail on me!

All of this for your bro-nana.

OK. [groans]

I think I have the solution
to our problem.

How about we just invite Joe over
to play with us?

No! It's supposed to be
just you and me, man!

Don't you remember?

Actually, that's not what I remember.

When it comes out,
you and me, buddy...

And Banana Joe...

We're gonna buy this game
and play it 'til we're purple.

[cough spits]
Enough with the brainwashing!

-But Banana Joe needs us.
-[groans] For what?

Welcome back
to Banana Joe's body jam.

expl*si*n...
[mimics an expl*si*n]

Title card. "Volume three, pecs"!

[imitates guitar strumming]

Now, let's start with a basic
bench-press move.

Now, what you want do is--

[clanking]

[breathing heavily]

That's an example
of what you shouldn't do.

I wanted to show you
how important it is

to always have someone around
to spot you.

But since I don't have anybody yet,

I'm gonna demonstrate
how you get out

of a situation like this.

-What you want to do is--
-[clanking]

[groans]

OK. That's to be expected.

Just roll back to the side,
and the weight--

-[clanking]
-[groans]

It's OK. I'm sure they'll be here
any minute now.

Look, I don't like it
when people don't like me, OK?

And I promised Bajayjay
that I'd help him out.

What the...
Bajayjay? You've got nicknames now?

[voice breaking] You're better
friends with him than me.

Why don't I have a nickname?

-But Gumball is a nickname.
-Not a new one!

You want a new nickname?

OK, fine. I'll give you one now.
Just chill out, OK?

Gum...

bag?

I love it!

So... can we go and see
Banana Joe now?

No!

[groaning] It's OK.

I'm sure they'll be here
any minute now.

And... now.

[groans]

In three, two, one. Now?

[sighs]

[grunts]

[squishes]

Oh, man.

Friendship is more important
than some game!

It's not about the game!

[crying] Don't you get it?

It's about us.

I just wanted to spend
some time together.

But I guess
you don't feel the same.

Don't you dare doubt my love.

You are the most precious thing
in my life.

[muffled] As precious
as a diamond dipped in gold,

sprinkled with emeralds

and all wrapped in a big platinum bow?

No, dude. More.

[both sigh]

Come on, then, buddy.
Let's go and see Joe.

Maybe it can wait 'til tomorrow.

You want to play that game
as much as me, don't you?

Yeah.

And I'm sure Joe's getting on fine
without us.

[moaning]

They'll be here soon.
They'll be here soon.

[moaning]

[clanking]

[groaning]

[screams]

[groaning]

[whirring]

[screams]

[expl*si*n]

They'll be here any minute now.

[lights click]

All right, dude.

One ring for "yes"
and two rings for "no."

Does it hurt?

[bell dings once]

Do the bandages itch?

[bell dings once]

Are you still mad at us?

[bell dings twice]

[both] We're BFFs again!

[stifled shouting]

[grunts]

[sighs]

[Gumball mockingly] "And if you really
didn't know that,

then maybe you should
read a book."

I don't know, dude.
This book says he's right.

Apparently, nachos aren't fruit.

What the what?

You mean we've been in a flame w*r
for seven hours

and we can't even win?

-[sighs]
-Did he make any spelling mistakes?

No. But he did say "who"
instead of "whom."

Call it.

"I think you'll find it's 'whom.'"

[laughs wickedly]

Cyber-psych!

Quick! Block it before he can respond!

-[chime rings]
-[laughs]

I love Elmoreplus.

It's like real life,
but with none of the consequences!

Yeah. You get to see
what everyone does,

and how happy they are,

and how much better their lives are
compared to ours.

Let's write more sarcastic comments.

"Just got my roots done.
What do you think?"

I think you should realize
this is a public forum

and put your pot back on."

[both snicker]

[chime rings]

[Gumball] "Upset because
of a certain someone.

They know who they are."

[Darwin] "Stop posting
mysterious status updates

when we have no idea
who you're talking about."

[chime rings]

[sighs] I don't get this.

There's always people who will
give the thumb-up to everything,

like, "Tobias is getting his
appendix out today.

Prob gonna have a scar."

[mockingly] "Thumbs up from Alan!"

What is he liking about that exactly?

The fact it wasn't him
who was in pain?

Let me handle this.

"You have reached
your thumb-up limit.

Please walk away
from your computer,

look at yourself in the mirror,

and give yourself a thumb down."

[dinging]

[sighs] Let's just block him.

In fact, let's block everyone
that annoys us.

Block, block, block, block, block,
block, block, block. Done!

[click]

[chime rings]

-We got a message.
-Who from?

I don't know. It's blocked.

[demonically] "Dear Gumball and Darwin,"

What's with the voice?

[normally] It says, "Read in a deep
scary voice," at the top.

[demonically] "You have
wronged me for the last time.

By the end of today,
I will have my revenge

and you will be sorry
for the way you treated me."

Signed, "Your Sworn Enemu."

[chime rings]

"Sorry. Typo. I meant 'enemy.'"

[both gasp]

What did we do?
And who sent that message?

It could be anyone!

It couldn't just be anyone!
It has to be someone we've upset!

Yeah, you're right.
It could be anyone.

[both gasp]

Oh, I know!
Let's apologize to everyone.

Yes. That's the only way
we can be sure.

[man] [thinking] How could you forget
what you've done to me?

Hey, guys, I just wanted to say
that you seem really cool,

and, well...
I think we should hang out.

What do you... say?

[chuckling] Wow! That was awkward.

OK, so... We're gonna
go now, but you...

You should stay here.

'Kay, bye.

Your time will come.

[splat]

Come on! There must be
something we've done to you

that's worth an apology. Think!

Yes, come on.
Use your pointy brain.

But Sussie's not angry.
Sussie likes you.

Sussie likes all the things
in the world.

Yeah, well, I got to
apologize for something,

so I'll apologize for this.

[plays rhythmically]

[slaps]

[groans]

Oh, my gosh! I am so sorry.

[laughs]
But Sussie like that, too!

Aww!

OK, next.

[singing a tune]

[Tobias] Darn right I'm angry at you!

[whispering] Tell us about it.

Have you ever noticed that
nothing in this world

-is set up as it should be?
-Like what?

I should be more important!

I should be the one
with the sidekick

and exciting adventures!

I'm more handsome, richer,
and more colorful than you guys,

and yet it's like
I'm the supporting character

of my own life!

[sighs] Come on.

I'm not hugging you.
We're both in towels.

-[whispers] Come on.
-No... No!

Get off! Get off! Get off!
Get off! Get off!

Come on! Gimme a hug!

Leave me alone, you weirdos!

[sighs] You leave us no choice.

[slaps] Accept our apology!
Accept it! Forgive us!

Look how sorry we are!
Give us a hug!

OK!

[sighs] Geez!

[grunts]

Right! That's one less angry
friend to deal with.

Who's next?

-Uh... Leslie.
-[Leslie gasps]

-Hey, buddy. We apologize for--
-It's OK!

I forgive you, all right?

[school bell rings]

[male voice] Your time to apologize
has passed.

Expect nothing but my wrath now!

[rumbling and clanging]

[male voice] Ouch!

No, no, no, guys.

I apologize for making you feel
like you owed me an apology.

Dude, this has been going on
for an hour now.

Just accept our apology
and let's be done with it!

I apologize for apologizing
so much.

[groans] Stop apologizing
for one second--

Sorry.

I think it's clear it's not him
who sent us a scary message.

I apologize for not being the person
you were looking for.

[echoing] I'm sorry for being so annoying!

-[screaming in anger]
-Shhh...

Walk away, man. Just walk away.

[sighs] You're right. You're right.

[Alan echoing]
I apologize for making you leave!

[sighs] You know, the fact that
you don't know what you're apologizing for

means that you
basically don't care.

How dare you judge my guilt!

Do you know how torn
and tormented I am?

Do you really want to
see my soul weep, Carrie? Do you?

-Yeah. Let's see some tears.
-Fine!

[grunting]

OK, OK! I forgive you!

Please stop before you
permanently damage your dignity!

Cool. See you later.

[sighs] This is exhausting.
Let's apologize a little faster.

[door opens]

Hey, Masami,
we're sorry for what we've done,

and if there's anything we can
do to make it up to you, then--

Oh. Well, actually, there
are a couple of things--

Uh, let me stop you right there.

We don't have a lot of time,

so I'm just gonna placate you
with some half-baked lie

and then come up with a lame pretext
to bail on you.

Sorry, Masami. We've got to go
because of some random excuse.

Bye!

Hey, girl we don't know!

Sorry for never talking
to you enough

to actually have
something to apologize for!

My name is Sarah.

[plop]

Hey, Penny.

I'm sorry for never being
up front about my emotions

or having the courage to stand
in front of you like a man

and tell you how I feel.

Oh, wow.

I never realized
you had any feelings towards me.

If anyone did, I would have
thought it was Gumball.

Sorry for being too scared
to say it in person!

[panting]

[grunts]

Hey, sis. Sorry I used
your red toothbrush.

-Please don't destroy us.
-The red one?

That's not my toothbrush.
Mine's the blue one.

Wait, I thought the blue one was mine.

Oh, you mean we've been...

[both shudder]

Well, at least no one's been
using my yellow toothbrush.

Yellow toothbrush?

Yeah, that big one
we keep by the side of the bath.

You mean dad's back brush?

Nah.

[gasps]

[gagging]

Yep.
[sighs] That's the one.

So, that's Alan, Tobias,
and Anais, and...

Well, I guess that's everyone.

[chuckles] Wow! It's like
a massive weight's been lifted off my...

What the what?
Dude, what's going on with you?

Wow! I guess it must have
been the stress

of everyone being angry
at us all the time.

I've been losing my hair for years
and never even realized!

Uh, what's up with you?

I don't know. I just feel really at peace
with the world, as well.

[whispers] Have I ever told you
I love you, Darwin?

[whispers] Never like this.

[both sigh]

[buzzer buzzes]

[gasps]

[Demonically] "I am coming for you now!"

[screams]

[both scream]

We need to get out of here!
He's coming for us!

Everything's locked!

The only way out is down there.

-OK, you go first.
-No way, man.

-The guy at the front always gets it.
-Fine. I'll go first.

No, wait!
I don't want to be at the back.

The guy at the back is
the easiest to pick off.

Well, what do you want me to do?

[gagging]

Dude, be quiet.
We're nearly at the front door.

[strained]
Yeah, and I can't move my gills.

No, you don't.

[sneezes]

[gasps]

We're locked in!

Who are you?
Why are you doing this to us?

Let's think. It's got to be the person
we least expect.

Well, I suppose the person
I least suspect is me.

[sighs] Of course! It can only be you!

Wait! By the same logic,
it could be you, as well!

[grunts]

Back off!

[screams] Wait... What are you gonna do,
divide me by zero?

I said step back!

[screams] You stay away from me, man!
This water is really old!

[muffled shouting]

[man] You have foolishly fallen
into my trap.

Now you will destroy yourselves

and your friendship
at the same time.

maybe then you will understand
my pain!

I don't want to fight you, man!

I don't want to, either,
but it looks like that's what's happening!

Well, in that case,
I don't want to lose!

[screams] Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Why don't we just apologize
to each other,

and then we're cool again?

[chuckles] Oh, yeah.

[man] No. No.

How dare you rub your friendship
in my face?

Look at me.
I am talking to you!

Look at me!

[expl*si*n]

[both coughing]

[gasps]

What? William?

But we've never done anything
wrong to you, dude.

-Run.
-OK, I'll go first.

No, wait! I should go first.

What? Why?

'Cause there might be danger ahead
and I just wanna protect you.

I'm not going at the back.

He's definitely gonna att*ck
the guy at the back.

I've got just the solution.

[Darwin screaming]

[clattering]

[William] There is no escape.

-What the...
-[Darwin] What do we do now?

I don't know.
How do you fight an eye?

Dude! Shampoo!

It's like the stingiest thing
in the world.

[expl*si*n]

[whistles] Hey! William!
Feast your eye on this.

[screams] My eyes!

Wait. It's not that bad.

[chuckles] It's baby shampoo.

Watch out!

[crashing]

[steam hisses]

[William] You cannot hide from me.

Turn around.

Turn around and face me like men!

I am talking to you.

[whispering] There he is,
creeping up on us in silence again.

[William] In silence?

[sighs] Oh, gosh.
No one can hear me, can they?

I suppose it makes sense.
I don't have a mouth.

I thought you'd ignored me
on purpose all my life.

And when you blocked me
on Elmoreplus, something snapped.

What was I thinking?
I'm so sorry.

You must be terrified and confused.

I cannot apologize enough...

Now!

[glass breaks]
