The Amazing World of Gumball
The Kids
RICHARD:
You still got it.
Hey, kids. Do I look old to you?

GUMBALL:
Uh, it’s hard to say.
I guess that’s the good thing about being fat—it fills out all the wrinkles.

RICHARD:
(yells) Well, guess my age

BOTH:
Um…

DARWIN:
Ooh! Ice age.

RICHARD:
What? Are you kidding me?
When do you think I was born?

GUMBALL:
I don’t know. Fifteen ninety-two?

RICHARD:
What?
GUMBALL:
Minus a hundred.

RICHARD:
Fourteen ninety-two?
That’s when America was discovered.

GUMBALL:
Oh, come on. Help us out here.
Was it BC or AD?

NICOLE:
What did you say to your father?

GUMBALL:
It's not our fault.
It was a trap.

NICOLE:
Oh, was he fishing for compliments again?

GUMBALL:
Yeah.
Some reality got caught in the net.

DARWIN:
But you know what it's like, Mrs. Mom.
You're pretty old too.
NICOLE:
(laughs) I'm old?

GUMBALL:
Yeah, I mean, you’re so old that you learned to drivе on a horse.

(all laughing)

DARWIN:
You’re so old that you ate dodo at your first Thanksgiving.

GUMBALL:
You’rе so old that if you had kids now, they’d be born middle-aged.

DARWIN:
Yeah, I mean, you’re so old that—

NICOLE:
All right!
No one stays young forever, you know.
You’ll see how it feels when it happens to you.

DARWIN:
I think we’ll be fine.

GUMBALL:
Yeah, dude.
I’ve been twelve for, like…forever now.
DARWIN:
I think we can safely say that we’ll be young forever and never (distorted) cha-a-a-a-a-a-a-nge.

GUMBALL:
Dude, are you (deep voice) all right?

DARWIN:
What’s happening?

GUMBALL:
I think our voices are broke.

DARWIN:
Dude, that was so low, you made some of my organs move inside.

GUMBALL:
Okay, that was weird, but I’m not gonna let it ruin our day.
I’ll call Penny and see if she wants to go to the mall.

PATRICK:
Fitzgerald residence.

GUMBALL:
Hey, can I speak to Penny, (gruffly) please?

PATRICK:
Is this a joke?

GUMBALL:
Uh, no.

PATRICK:
This better be a joke.

GUMBALL:
No, wait.
I don’t think you understand.

PATRICK:
I don’t think you understand.
You think you can call my house and freak us out?
You think you’ve got a scary voice?
This is a scary voice.
Now, listen to me.
I have a very specific set of skills—skills I’ve acquired over a very long career…in real estate.
If you never call my daughter again, that will be the end it, but if you do, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will build a house around you…with no doors.

GUMBALL (SQUEAKY VOICE):
Okay, bye.
(normal voice) What are you looking at?

DARWIN:
I don’t know.
What are you pointing at?

GUMBALL:
Come on.
Let’s just go together.

DARWIN:
Hello, two kids-price (deep voice) tickets, please.

BUS DRIVER:
You disgust me!

GUMBALL:
Wait, what?
(deep voice) Why?

BUS DRIVER:
Where is your pride?
Where is your beard?
Where is your ax!

GUMBALL:
Wait.
Why are you driving with an ax?

BUS DRIVER:
Oh, I use it to push the pedals.

DARWIN:
Sir, I think you’re confused.
We’re not what you—

BUS DRIVER:
Your manly warrior voices gave you away.
Our people built wonders in the mines of Ezrendel, and here you are pretending to be children to scrounge a bus fare!
Shame on you!

GUMBALL:
Dude, we’re not cheating anyone.
We’re kids.

BUS DRIVER:
I should report you to the Council of Elders!

PERSON ON BUS (HIGH-PITCHED):
You don’t need a discount!
Your mountains are full of gold and mithril.

PERSON ON BUS:
How can someone be so little and yet so evil?

(all shouting)
(bus drives away)

GUMBALL (NORMAL VOICE):
Do you feel like walking?
I feel like walking.
See?
It wasn’t that far.

DARWIN (NORMAL VOICE):
Look.

GUMBALL:
Oh, wow, buy one, get one free on two-sided tape.
That’s like four-sided tape.

DARWIN:
No, look!
Half price on double-chip cookies.
That’s like quadruple chocolate.
(giggles)

GUMBALL:
Hey, wait.

DARWIN:
Hmm, where are the cookies?
Hey!

LARRY:
Oh!
Hey, yourself, young man.
I know I’m just a clerk here, but that is not a way to speak to people.

DARWIN:
Oh! Sorry!

LARRY:
Oh, I see.
Now I’m getting attitude.
You know there’s a policy here for disrespectful customers.

DARWIN:
It’s not my fault!

LARRY:
Oh, so now it’s my fault.

DARWIN:
Dude, chill out!

LARRY:
You refrigerate yourself, mister.
All right, that’s it.
Security, we’ve got a code orange on aisle thirteen.

DARWIN (NORMAL VOICE):
No, please, it’s not my fault.

GUMBALL:
Dude, what’s going on?

DARWIN:
I can’t control the volume of my voice!
And now Larry’s angry at me.

GUMBALL:
Aw, don’t worry.
I’ll take care of this.

SECURITY:
Sir, I’m gonna need you to calm down.

GUMBALL:
We are calm!

SECURITY:
Don’t force me to use force!
You need to take it down a notch!

GUMBALL:
I can’t!

SECURITY:
Fine! Then you asked for this!
Actually, I’m not allowed to do anything but ask you to leave the premises peacefully.

DARWIN:
(crying)

GUMBALL:
Maybe I’ll just call Dad for a ride home.

DARWIN:
So?

GUMBALL:
He didn’t understand a word I said and told me he doesn’t speak fax machine.
Aw, stupid voice!
(distorted) What is wrong with (wheezy) you?
Well, that didn’t work.

PENNY:
Gumball, where have you been?
Why didn’t you call me?

GUMBALL:
I think it's my voice…

PATRICK:
Watterson, are you giving my daughter some kind of weird silent treatment?
Because if you are, I have a very specific set of skills—skills I've a—

GUMBALL:
I think we need a doctor.

DARWIN:
What?
Oh, hold up.
(wheezy) I think we need a doctor.

GUMBALL:
That’s what I said.
(normal voice) And sometimes it’s perfectly fine.
But the next thing you know, (squeaky) it’s all over the place.

DOCTOR:
(laughing)

DARWIN (NORMAL VOICE):
Are you making fun of us because our voices are broke?

DOCTOR:
Your voices are not broken—they’re breaking.
It means you’re growing up.

DARWIN (DEEPISH VOICE):
Aw.

DOCTOR:
Did you really think you would stay kids forever?

DARWIN:
Yeah. Kind of.

GUMBALL (DEEP VOICE):
Isn’t there something you can do?

DOCTOR:
Mm…no.
Only a small percentage of the world doesn’t age—mostly people on TV.
Oh, come on.
Growing up isn’t that bad.
Soon you’ll be strong and handsome like your dad.

BOTH:
Ugh!
Ahh!

DARWIN (NORMAL VOICE):
Come on.
What’s the best thing to do when you know your childhood days are numbered?

GUMBALL (NORMAL VOICE):
Lie down on the ground and go like this?
(sobbing)

DARWIN:
No, dude.
You make the most of it.
(beatboxing)

BOTH (RAPPING):
We enjoy it while we can
We enjoy it while we’re kids
We enjoy it while there’s still time to make the most of it

GUMBALL:
We go around the block, and we loiter by the mall
The people think we’re thugs, so they give the cops a call

LARRY:
Police.

GUMBALL:
But we can get away with it ’cause it’s a public space
Turns out we weren’t loitering, just standing in one place
I don’t wear a suit or a stupid tie
I dress with my eyes closed, and I still look fly

LOUIE:
It looks like you got a leg transplant from a wiener dog.

GUMBALL (SPOKEN):
Oh, yeah? Well, you…
(rapping) And when I don’t have a comeback, I can always cry

BOTH:
We enjoy it while we can
We enjoy it while we’re kids
We enjoy it while there’s still time to make the most of it

GUMBALL:
I’m allowed to eat candy
It’s okay to be chubby; it’s called baby fat
That’s how my mama likes me
And I don’t need to worry about the calories I ate
’Cause I’m just a kid with a crazy metabolic rate
(spoken) Too far.

DARWIN:
Don’t you ever worry about the cavities in your teeth?

GUMBALL (RAPPING):
Who cares if these fall out?
I got new ones underneath

DARWIN:
I’m gettin’ tons of loot ’cause I look so cute
Where are these presents from?
It just doesn’t compute

GUMBALL:
We don’t have to worry about makin’ ends eat
We just throw things in the buggy that we like to eat
’Cause when you’re still a kid, everything is magic
You don’t know it yet

BOTH:
Life can get pretty tragic
We enjoy it while we can
We enjoy it while we’re kids
We enjoy it while there’s still time to make the most of it

GUMBALL:
We don't have to worry, ’cause we don’t have jobs
We can sit around all day and hang out just like slobs

BOTH:
We don’t freak out about résumés and skills
’Cause we don’t have either; we got no bills
We got all the time that we want to kill

MAN:
What time is it?

BOTH:
It’s time to chill

ENGINEER:
What do you think you’re doin’?

GUMBALL (SPOKEN):
Just enjoying not having a job.

ENGINEER:
Well, you can’t stay here!

GUMBALL:
Why?
Because the sight of our freedom hurts your adult feelings?

ENGINEER:
No, kid, you’re gonna have to move because—

(horn blares)

GUMBALL (RAPPING):
When you’re still a kid, being sick is cool
Mom gives you hugs, and you don’t have to go to school
Stay at home, watch TV, all day slackin’ off
If someone checks on you, just give ’em a little cough

RICHARD:
Are you all right?

GUMBALL:
(coughs)

RICHARD:
Aw.

GUMBALL:
It’s not my fault if I behave like a dummy
I do a lot of stupid things ’cause I find it funny

BOTH:
We don’t need an excuse ’cause we got imagination
We’re using it right now to escape the situation
Because when you’re a kid, you dream of many things
Like being a ninja dentist or a wizard cop with wings
We can fight a shark-bear-gator with a sword made of swords
Be the best at everything and win awesomeness awards
See an underwater castle and a seahorse made of crystal
Savin’ mermaids from shark people using golden laser pistols
Plunder the universe in our pirate spaceship
Go back in time to teach cavemen how to kick-flip
Don’t need to worry about our future plans and college
Superpowers, robot arms, that’s our substitute for knowledge

GUMBALL:
It’s okay for me to dream
That I’m a cowboy from the west

DARWIN:
And for me to keep hopin’
That there’s still a chance to grow a (deep voice) chest

BOTH:
We enjoy it while we (deep voice) can
(normal voice) We enjoy it while we’re (deep voice) kids
(normal voice) We enjoy it while there’s (deep voice) still time
(normal voice) To make the most of (deep voice) it!

GUMBALL (SPOKEN):
Come on.
Let's try it again.

BOTH (DEEP VOICE):
We enjoy it while we can
We enjoy it while we’re kids
We enjoy it while there’s still time to make the most of it!

BILLY:
Mother, what are those two short men doing?

FELICITY:
I believe they’re pretending to still be young and cool, dear.

BOTH (SPOKEN):
Aw.

GUMBALL:
(sobbing)

DARWIN (SPOKEN):
It’s over, dude.
If my voice went any lower, it would be on the ground.
We’re not kids anymore.

GUMBALL (SINGING):
Maybe it’s for the better
No one wants to stay a child forever

DARWIN (SINGING):
Remember the wonderful times we’ve had
Those happy thoughts now make me sad

BOTH:
They say it's not bad; it's just a new start
So why do I have this pain in my heart?
Our childhood memories are getting hazy
But soon we can drive, go to college
And we both go (distorted) crazy

GUMBALL (HIGH-PITCHED, SPOKEN):
What was that? Dude, what’s going on?
I sound even younger than before.

DARWIN (NORMAL VOICE):
That’s it!
That means we’re in the one percent of people who never grow old.

BOTH:
Yay!

GUMBALL:
We’ll be kids forever!

DARWIN:
We got what we wanted!

GUMBALL:
We’re stuck in these bodies for the rest of our lives!

(both laughing)

BOTH (WEAKLY):
Yay.
