The new Assignment
[Miss Simian is drawing a picture of a fish on the chalkboard.]
Miss Simian: And that is the story of how my dad was a primate and my mom was coelacanth! And that is why I have fish gills on my backside! (Turns around) Any questions?
[It cuts to everyone sitting in class, now with repulsed faces.]
Gumball: (Horrified) No... I think we've had enough of questions for one day...
[Tobias raises her hand slowly.]
Miss Simian: (Rolls eyes) What is it, Tobias?
Tobias: (Disgusted) Yeah, can I go to the bathroom? I think I'm actually gonna throw up...
Miss Simian: (Annoyed) No! For the last time, you can only go to the bathroom to do Number 1's, Number 2's and Number 3's!!
Darwin: Umm... (Raises an eyebrow) What's a number 3...?
[Miss Simian sits down by her desk.]
Miss Simian: Well, you see us primates sometimes have a hard time to fit our backsides in the ring, so basically a number 3 is that you–
[The class screams.]
Gumball: AHH!! Stop, stop!! We don't need to hear anymore!!
Miss Simian: (Flatly) Very well...
[Miss Simian spins around in her chair and faces the chalkboard.]
Miss Simian: Anyways, let me introduce the month's topic! Similar to my presentation I just held about my parents, you kids are gonna do the same about your family! This month's topic is gonna be...
[Miss Simian stands up and writes the subject down on the chalkboard. She then turns around and faces the class.]
Miss Simian: ... Genealogy!!
[The class groans, disappointed.]
Carrie: C'mon, Miss Simian! We had that like three months ago! Remember how bad it went when Tina held her presentation about her family's background??
[It cuts to a flashback, showing Tina Rex holding a presentation in front of the class. Miss Simian is seen sitting by her desk.]
Tina: (Embarrassed) Umm... for this presentation, I would like to invite my father to the lesson...
[Everyone in class except Miss Simian and Tina cheers.]
Gumball: (Aside to Darwin) Yes!! Finally we get to see what Tina's father really looks like!
[Loud stomping is then heard in the hallway, which makes the entire classroom shake. Suddenly, the door flies open and Mr. Rex emerges into the classroom. He lets out a loud roar at the students, now taking cover behind their chairs.]
Darwin: (Deadpan) Welp... now we know...
[Mr. Rex lets out one last roar, knocking Gumball and Darwin back. Afterwards, the Flashback ends.]
Darwin: Carrie's right, Miss Simian. Everytime we've done an assignment or presentation on that, it always leads to chaos!
[The students nods in agreement to Darwin, but Miss simian is shown not being amused.]
Miss Simian: (Sighs) Well, it wasn't my idea. Blame Idaho, he was the one who requested it.
[Camera cuts to Idaho by his table with a party hat and blower, which he slowly stops blowing. Everyone in class is looking angrily at him.]
Idaho: (Looks around) What?
[The school bell rings. Miss Simian leans back in her chair and puts her feet up on the table.]
Miss Simian: Welp, I am not in responsibility for y'all anymore! (She takes out a nail file and files her nails.) Any complaints you have about this, be sure to send them in to the school council!
Masami: (Glares) Good job, Idaho!
[Everyone starts walking out of class, frowning at Idaho.]
Tobias: Idaho? More like Ida-blow!
[Everyone laughs at Tobias, as they leave the classroom. Idaho is left behind, sadly looking down at his desk.]
Blaming Idaho
[Scene starts showing the exterior of the Watterson's house.]
Gumball: (Off-screen) I can't believe you Idaho!
[Cuts to the Children's room. Gumball, Darwin and Idaho walks inside and drops their backpacks on the floor.]
Gumball: (Irritated) I mean, why would you tell Miss Simian to give us that stupid subject again!?
Idaho: (Shrugs) Because it's fun?
Gumball: (Folds arms) Really? What's so fun about looking through your dad's stuff to find more about his background, just to accidentally touch his buttscratcher?
[Gumball and Darwin shudders.]
Darwin: (Horrified) I still remember that...
Idaho: (Hands on hips) Well unlike you fellas, us tater-people actually have an interesting back-story behind us!
Gumball: (Smirks) Pshh! Like what? Was your father a sweet potato or something? Hahaha–
[Darwin covers Gumball's mouth nervously.]
Darwin: (Sweating) Er– I think what my judgmental brother here is trying to say, is that... (Breathes in) ...We just don't think there's anything interesting about countryside potatoes like you!
Idaho: (Offended) What!? That is a very insulting thing to say about my people!! My family might be a bunch of goofin' off hillbillies, but that does not mean that all of them are!!
[Beat.]
Gumball: Wait, so where exactly is the rest of your relatives from?
Idaho: (Ponders) Weeelll... the whole point of me bringing up the subject again was to introduce my cousins from Ireland! They're visiting the country tomorrow morning!
[Gumball and Darwin looks at eachother confused, then back at Idaho again.]
Gumball: (Raises an eyebrow) ...Ireland? I-is that like a state in the U.S?
Darwin: (Shakes head) Nah, it think it's more of a secret organization...
Gumball: Oh! Maybe it's a city from a far away region!
[Annoyed, Idaho looks at them as they continue rambling.]
Darwin: (Off-screen) Nah. In that case, it probably wouldn't have the word "Land" at the end.
Idaho: (Pinches forehead) Sometimes I forget how awful suburban Americans are at geography... (Looks up) Do y'all have a map here that I can borrow by any chance??
Stealing Anais' equipment!
[Anais is sitting in the living room by the table wearing glasses. She inspects a map with a ruler while rubbing her chin.]
Anais: Hmm... So if the U.S sends reinforcements to (Points at Pakistan) Pakistan, and some of the equipment goes to (Points at Finland) Finland, but they've never actually gotten their weapons from them, (Points at the UK) and the UK is in an alliance with Finland, then that only means one thing...
[Gumball, Darwin and Idaho are seen sneaking down the stairs quietly.]
Anais: Hmm...
[Camera zooms in on Anais' face as she realizes.]
Anais: (Gasps in shock) Israel was the bad guys all along!!
[Camera cuts to a further away perspective. The map is now gone and the boys are running up the stairs with it.]
Anais: What the– (Turns around) Hey!!
Gumball: (From upstairs) Sorry, sis! I'll give it back later!!
[Anais growls in frustration.]
Map of the World
[It's nighttime. Idaho folds out the map of the world on the computer desk, in the children's room.]
Idaho: There it is!! (Points at Ireland) Ireland! A country in Europe known for their food, their riverdance, drinks and bar fighting!
[Gumball and Darwin are standing behind Idaho. Gumball is looking at his phone.]
Idaho: (Proudly) Truly it is one heckuva country to be proud of coming from!
Gumball: (Shines up) I found what Ireland is! (Shows phone to Darwin) It's a country in Europe that is known for their food, their drinks and riverdances!
Darwin: (Surprised) Oohh!! So that's what it was all this time!
[Idaho stares irritated at Gumball and Darwin.]
Idaho: Wait, were y'all ignoring me this whole time!?!
Gumball: (Happily) C'mon! Let's go and meet up with them so we can get to know them!
[Gumball and Darwin walks out of the room, ignoring Idaho. Idaho starts filling up with exasperation and grits his teeth, but then he calms down and sighs in defeat.]
Waiting...
[Scene starts in the middle of a dirt field out on the countryside, still during night.]
Idaho: (Checks his watch) I don't understand. They should've been here by now!
[Gumball and Darwin comes into frame. They're both completely solidified from the coldness.]
Gumball: (Dry voice) Yeah, that's nice and all, but couldn't we have done this during daytime...? It's so cold that I can't feel anything below my ears.
Idaho: Whaddaya talkin' 'bout?? Moonlight is great for a 'tater like me!
[Gumball and Darwin falls flatly into eachother, and their solid outer layer breaks like stone. They stand up again, newly shed.]
Gumball: (Yawns and stretches) Well, I think that makes it time for bed! Goodnight!
Darwin and Idaho: 'Night!
[Gumball hops up in an invisible imaginary bed and goes to sleep. He then falls to the ground and gets covered in dirt.]
Gumball: (Flatly) Oh, right... We're in the middle of nowhere...
[Gumball sits up and lets out a groan.]
Gumball: (Weary) Auughh! This is soooo booooringgg...!!
Still waiting...
[It fades to daytime, showing the warm sun shining down. Distant eagles can be heard and vultures are flying in circles overhead.]
[It then cuts to showing Gumball and Darwin laying down in the dirt. They appear to be completely dehydrated like raisins.]
Gumball: (Dry voice) Dude... can you spit in my mouth? It's so hot that my sweat glands has completely vaporized...
[Darwin snorts and tries to spit out some phlegm at Gumball, but fails.]
Darwin: (Dry voice) Sorry dude, my saliva glands have vaporized aswell...
Gumball: (Dehydrated) It's okay...
[Gumball and Darwin stands up again, looking normal.]
Gumball: (Growls) ARGH!! WHEN ARE THEY COMING!?!
[Idaho comes out of the dirt, still looking normal.]
Idaho: (Stretches) Ahh! I don't know 'bout y'all, but I feel great!
[Gumball and Darwin walks up to Idaho.]
Gumball: Yeah, maybe it comes down to the fact that you're a GOSH DARN POTATO WHO CAN JUST REFRESH YOURSELF BY SLEEPING UNDERGROUND!?!?
Darwin: (Annoyed) This was a waste of time. Let's go home!
[Gumball and Darwin starts walking away. Idaho is left behind, saddened...]
...
[...But then suddenly...]
???: (Distant) WOOOO-HOOOOO!!!!
[...A distant yell is heard. Gumball, Darwin and Idaho turns around and sees a green van driving recklessly on the dirt field.]
[In the van, it reveals that six potatoes are sitting, partying with grog as they're listening to "The Rocky Road To Dublin" by The High Kings.]
Sean: (Happily) Something crossed my mind, when I looked behind!! No bundle could I find upon a stick of wobblin'...!!!
[The van is getting extremely close to hitting Gumball, Darwin and Idaho. Frightened, Gumball and Darwin hugs eachother bracing for impact.]
[But fortunately, as the van is about to hit Idaho, it brakes and comes to a quick halt. The potato in the driver's seat, appearing to have a drawn-on anchor beard and wearing a flat cap, flies out through the window and face-plants into the dirt.]
[The potato gets up on his feet shortly after.]
Sean: (Wheezes) Oh, That was bloody brilliant me shams!! Sorry we're so late, me and the folks over in the camper was robbin' a wired leprechaun on the way here! (Smirks) Just kidding! We blacked out from being too hammer'd... BAAA– HAHAHAHA...!!!
[Gumball and Darwin stares at eachother.]
Gumball and Darwin: (Confused) What the what...???
[The potato walks up to idaho and reaches out for a hug.]
Sean: Well, if it isn't Idaho! Last time I saw ya was when you still had roots stuck on ye backside! Come here!!
[The potato hugs Idaho happily. Idaho responds by patting him on the back awkwardly.]
Idaho: Uh... (Smiles nervously) H-hello to you too, my unknown Irish cousin!
Sean: Oh, right! Ya prolly don't remember my name... (Stops hugging) No worries! My name is Seamus O'sullivan ó Dubhghaill Murphy of Kilkenny, Galway, Longford...
[Gumball, Darwin and Idaho stares at the potato rambling his full name, bewildered.]
Sean: ...Wicklow and Dublin the Fifth!! (Pleasantly) But you could just call me Sean!
[Two of the other potatoes exits the van. Sean turns around.]
Sean: (Irritated) Hey!! What took you tats so long!?! I'm almost getting canny of conversation subjects here!
[The potato with the long moustache responds maddened.]
Murphy: (Angrily) Don't blame me, ya stein!! Charlie was the poor soul who went banjaxed here!!
[It pans over to Charlie, the potato with black beanie and moustache. He's sleeping in the back seat while drooling.]
Sean: (Facepalms) Well, get that thick gob out here, Murphy! I'm about to introduce us, so MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION!!!
[The potato with glasses (Robert) walks up to Murphy and helps him drag Charlie up to Sean, but he seems to be too heavy.]
Robert: (Struggling) Hnghh!! Mate's too heavy!!
Sean: (Sighs) Bollocks...
[Sean walks up to Murphy and Robert and grabs his teeth, using it as handhold. They continue dragging him along the dirt.]
[Cuts to Gumball and Darwin.]
Gumball: (Aside to Darwin) Dude, these guys are complete trainwrecks! We haven't even known them for more than a minute and I already feel like they're gonna track down our addresses!
Darwin: (Whispering) I just feel really bad for Idaho. Look how uncomfortable he is!
[The potatoes makes their way up to Idaho and drops Charlie on the ground. Sean kneels next to him.]
Sean: (Reaches out hand) Hand me the Guiness!
[Robert does as followed and gives Sean a glass filled with black liquid. He dips his hand into the glass, then holds it close to Charlie's nose.]
Charlie: (Sniff sniff...) (Wakes up) GAHH!!! Is that the black stuff I'm smellin'!? That can only mean one thing... we're going to a cèilidh later!! WOOHOOO!!!
Sean: (Flatly) No. That only means that you've been awakened from your slumber. Up on your feet, ye soldier!
[Charlie stands up. Sean then takes some steps forward.]
Sean: (Pleasantly) Alright, now when we have settled in it seems like, let me introduce the rest! Fish, Cat and Tater! This is Robert, Murphy and Charlie!
Gumball: (Points behind Sean) What about that guy?
[Cut to a further away perspective and The last potato (Blake) is seen by the van wearing an IRA soldier's uniform and a balaclava.]
Sean: (Nervously) Ahahahaha... That's just Blake... (Walks up to Blake) hold on, lemme talk to him!
[Sean leans over to Blake and whispers loudly.]
Sean: (Angrily) What are you doing!?! Get that gobstuff off of you, We're not in BELFAST anymore!!
Blake: (Whimpers) Aww...
[Blake walks back to the van sadly. Sean then turns around and smiles while breaking a sweat.]
Sean: Ehehehe...
[Gumball and Darwin shares eye contact again perking an eyebrow each. Scene ends.]
Any special talents?
[Scene starts in the Children's room. The Irish potatoes are sitting on the floor with intruments, forming a ring with Gumball, Darwin and Idaho.]
Gumball: (Reads a note) Alright, so here it says that on the presentation, we need to mention "Characteristics ran in the family"! Let's start with you, Robinson! Do you have–
Robert: (Frowns) It's Robert, kid! Don't ever say that again!
Gumball: (Sheepishly) Right... Robert, d-do you have any special talents?
Robert: (Stutters) Well uh... I'm ba– um... I know that uh... (Breaks down) I CAN'T DO THIS!!! WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME FIRST!?!? UUUHUHUHU...!!!
[Robert storms out of the room, crying. Everyone is left in shock, except for Blake, the potato that now wears a fedora.]
Blake: Yeah, sorry about that... Robert can have extreme stage-fright sometimes.
[Idaho pinches his forehead.]
Idaho: (Groans) This isn't working...
Darwin: Maybe we should just ask the captain of the crew! (To Sean) Sean! What's your special talents?
Sean: (Ponders) Weeeelll, I dropped out of school when I was 12, I'm 17 and I have a job as a janitor at a pub that I also like to fight turnips at, and I have punched exactly seventeen British cops in the achilles heel!
Gumball: (Flatly) Dude, that just sounds like really messed up hobbies and not actually special talents...
Sean: (Intimidating) Ohh, you wanna see special talents, boi!? Well, I'LL show you special talents!!
[Sean picks up Robert's flute and plays it extremely falsely and loudly.]
[Gumball covers his ears in pain, but then suddenly his head breaks into pieces. Sean stops playing, and a new head grows out of his neck.]
Darwin: (Unsurely) I think we're just gonna have to let them do their own thing...
Star of the County Down!
[Scene starts in the classroom again. Masami is holding his presentation next to Miss Simian by her desk.]
Masami: (Smugly) And that is the story of how my dad owes everything in the city and why you should start working for him if you haven't already!
Miss Simian: (Unamused) For the last time, exploiting your parents' corrupt company on the presentation does not raise your grade just because you're rich!
Masami: But–
Miss Simian: "E minus"! Go back to your seat.
[Masami sheepishly floats back to her seat.]
Miss Simian: Next!
[The Irish potatoes walks up to the chalkboard with their instruments. Sean is last, holding a microphone.]
Miss Simian: What the–!? Who are these people!?
Sean: (Confident) We're gonna hold the presentation on behalf of Idaho! And for this presentation, we're gonna play a song about our beloved Homeland!!
Miss Simian: (Glares) Idaho!! What is this!?!
[Idaho is sitting in the front at his desk.]
Idaho: Why are you blaming me!?! My cousins were the ones who came up with this!!
[Murphy jumps up on Miss Simian's desk and slowly approaches her.]
Murphy: (Threatening) Yeah, and ya better listen to him, or there well be a brawl between't you and me at the Irish pub, you dirty old wi–
[Murphy gets pulled back by Sean who has now also jumped up on the desk.]
Sean: (Nervously) Or how about we just get this thing overwith!! Alright?? Alright!!
[Murphy and Sean jumps off the desk and gets in position.]
Tobias: (Yells) This better not suck!!
[The class laughs at Tobias, and Sean frowns.]
Sean: (Annoyed) Whatever, just hit it, Charlie...
[Charlie starts playing the Bodhrán. Sean shortly after starts singing "Star of the County Down" by The High Kings.]
Sean: (Clears throat) Near Banbridge Town in the County Down one evenin' last Julyyy~... Down a bóithrin green came a sweet cailín and she smiled as she passed me by! She looked so neat in her two bare feet and the sheen of her nut-brown hair... Such a coaxing elf I'd to shakeh me'self, to make sure I was standing there!
[Robert starts playing the flute. Sean takes the microphone off the stand.]
Sean: From Bantray Bay down to Derry Quay from Galway to Dublin Town! No maid I've seen like the fair cailín that I met in the county down...
[Murphy starts playing the banjo.]
Sean: As she onward sped, and I shookeh me head and I gazed with a feeling quare... And I said to a passerby "Who's your one with the nut-brown hair?" (Leans over to Murphy) He smiled at me, and with pride says he, "she's the gem of Old Ireland's crown"... Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann and the star of the County Down!
[The other Irish potatoes joins in on the chorus. While they sing it, it cuts to Gumball and Darwin.]
The Irish Potatoes: From Bantray Bay down to Derry Quay from the Galway to Dublin Town...
[Gumball starts head-bopping to the song and Darwin notices.]
Darwin: (Raises eyebrow) Dude, what's wrong with your head?
Gumball: (Worriedly) I don't know!! What's wrong with your legs!?!
[Darwin's legs under the desk are seen starting to feel the urge to dance, as they're shaking hysterically.]
Darwin: (Panic) What's happening!?!
[Gumball and Darwin jumps off their seats and begins shuffling nervously as Blake plays the guitar.]
Sean: (Off-screen) She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly like a smile in the rose of June...
[Gumball and Darwin skips to the back of the classroom while tiptoeing...]
Penny: Woah, hey!!
Carrie: Hey, what the–!!
[... and they both then proceed to grab Penny and Carrie, holding them by the hands as they skip with them to the front.]
Sean: And you held each note from her Auburn throat as she lilted lamenting tunes!
[Gumball and Darwin makes it up to the Irish potatoes and starts dancing with their girlfriends in circles.]
Sean: (In frame) At the pattern'd dance you'd be in a trance as she skipped through a jig or a reel...
[Gumball and Darwin lets go of Penny and Carrie respectively and then stands still. Then, as the song kicks up a notch, they start doing a riverdance with Sean.]
Sean: ...When her eyes, she'd roll, ah she'd lift your soul, And your heart, she would likely steal!!
[Gumball, Darwin and Sean jumps up respectively on Sarah's, Banana Joe's and Bobert's desks and continues riverdancing.]
Gumball, Darwin and Sean: (Happily) From Bantray Bay down to Derry Quay from Galway to Dublin Town! No maid I've seen like the fair cailín that I met in the County Down!!
[Cuts to Sean only in frame with Bobert. Sean is seen now with an accordion.]
Sean: (Energetic) AT the harvest fair she'll be surely there And I'll dress in me Sunday clothes...
[Sean jumps over to Tobias' table. Tobias is standing up looking at him, annoyed. But then Sean proceeds to push him right into Masami.]
Sean: ...With my hat cocked right and me shoes shone bright, for a smile from the nut-brown Rose! ...
[Sean leaps over to Alan's desk.]
Sean: ...No horse I'll yoke, or pipe I'll smoke, Til the rust in my plough turn brown... (Poof!)
[Sean blows effortlessly at Alan, making him get pushed back to Carmen. Tobias and Alan then proceeds to dance with the girls they got pushed into by Sean.]
Sean: And a smiling bride by me own fireside sits the star of the County Down!
[Camera cuts to showing the whole class in frame. Everyone gets up from their chairs and riverdances, while Penny and Carrie are in the front, cheering them on.]
Everyone: (Singing) From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay From Galway to Dublin town...
[Cuts to Gumball as he drums on Bobert's head in tune.]
Everyone: (Continuing) ...No maid I've seen like the fair cailín That I met in the County Down!!
[It cuts to all the students sitting on the floor in a ring around the Irish Potatoes and Gumball. Blake, Robert and Murphy are playing a calm, instrumental solo.]
[When the solo is over, Gumball then begins to sing.]
Gumball: (Softened) She'd a soft brown eye and a look so sly, And a smile like a rose in June!! And you held each note from her auburn throat, as she lilted lamenting tunes.
[Gumball winks at Penny sitting in the crowd. She blushes and smiles.]
Gumball: (Off-screen) At the pattern'd dance (In frame) you'd be in a trance, as she skipped through a JIG OR A REE-E-EEELL...!!
[Gumball and Sean raindances again. The music goes up in tension.]
Gumball and Sean: WHEN her eyes, she'd roll, ah she'd lift your soul And your heart, she would likely steal!
[Another instrumental solo plays, and as the irish potatoes do, all the students energetically runs out of the classroom after Sean.]
Miss Simian: (Angrily) Hey!! Where do you think you're all going!?! ... (Shrugs) Eh... whatever!
[Miss Simian jumps up on her desk and does a shuffling dance. She then leaps away and follows the students into off-screen.]
[As the solo keeps playing, the students opens the doors to the teachers' offices to invite them into the chaos. Penny first opens the door to Coach Russo's office, Alan opens the door to Mister Small's office, then Masami opens the door to Cornielle's office.]
[Lastly Miss Simian opens the door to Principal Brown's office. She's met with him wearing a grey top hat and coat, while having a pipe in his mouth.]
Principal Brown: (Smirks) I'm already way ahead of you, darlin'!
Miss Simian: Nice!!
[Scene changes to everyone dancing down the hallway, with Sean first in line.]
Everyone: From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay, From Galway to Dublin town. No maid I've seen like the fair cailín, That I met in the County Down!!
[Scene cuts to the school cafeteria, as the door gets kicked open and all the students run in.]
Sean and Everyone: Near Banbridge town, in the County Down, One evening last July...
[Cuts to a table, where Julius, Mowdown and Scythe are sitting. Sean then jumps up on Julius' plate.]
Sean and Everyone: ...Down a bóithrín green came a sweet cailín And she smiled as she passed me by!!
[Julius tries to smack Sean with his hand repeatedly, but fails as Sean is moving side to side too quickly.]
Sean and Everyone: She looked so neat in her two bare feet, And the sheen of her nut-brown hair...
[Sean then lifts Julius up, and he suddenly starts to riverdance uncontrollably.]
Sean and Everyone: ...Such a coaxin' elf, I'd to shakeh me'self To make sure I was standing there!
[Cuts to Scythe and Mowdown. They shrug and join in with Julius. Now, everyone in the cafeteria except for the Irish potatoes are dancing happily.]
Everyone: From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay From Galway to Dublin town!! No maid I've seen like the fair cailín that I met in the County Down!!
[Cuts to Darwin as he is performing a squat dance on a table with Bobert.]
Everyone: From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay From Galway to Dublin town!! Nauhh~ maid I've seen like the fair cailín that I met in the County Down!!
[Lastly, it cuts to Gumball and Penny once again dancing in a circle, holding hands.]
Everyone: From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay From Galway to Dublin town! ...
[Gumball lets go of Penny and performs one last riverdance as everyone watches, while still singing.]
Everyone: No maid I've seen like the fair cailín that I met in the County Down!!
[Gumball then finishes off by doing a handstand. The song ends, and he then face-plants to the ground.]
Penny: Wohoo!!
Tobias: That was great!!
[Everyone cheers and claps happily over the song number. Idaho then walks in.]
Miss Simian: Well done, Idaho! That presentation was a solid "C plus"!!
[Miss Simian sticks a "golden star" sticker on Idaho, making him smile.]
Idaho: (Proudly) Thank you, miss!
[The students then all runs up to Idaho happily and throws him up in the air.]
Everyone: (Chants) YAY!! IDAHO!! IDAHO!! IDAHO!! IDAHO!! ...
Murphy's Evil Side
[Scene fades to outside of Elmore Junior High. Gumball, Darwin and Idaho are seen next to the potatoes' green van, but all of the other potatoes except Murphy is nowhere to be seen.]
Gumball: (To Darwin) Dude, this day was awesome!! I didn't even know that I could riverdance that good!
Darwin: Well, you better save some of those skills for when it's our turn to do the presentation!!
Gumball and Darwin: Hahahaha!! (Turns to crying) Uhuhuhuhu...
Gumball: (Sniffs) I just realized that we still actually have to do it...
[It cuts to Murphy as he throws some luggage into the trunk. Idaho walks up to him and shakes his hand.]
Idaho: Thanks for helping me today, Murphy! (Looks around confused) ...But should you really be headin' home without the others?
Murphy: (Shrugs) Eh, they're probably just out there exploring the beauty of American suburbs or something...
[It pans over to where the potatoes are. They're in a pub drinking pint with Patrick and Richard.]
Sean: (Chuckles) Alright, I got a good one! Why can't ya borrow money from a leprechaun? 'Cause They're always a little short!! BAAA-HAHAHAHA
Patrick and Richard: HAHAHAHAHAHA–!!
[Pans back to Murphy again.]
Murphy: So yeah, I guess they'll be fine!
Idaho: (Relieved) Thank hasbrowns!
Murphy: But I'm not actually heading home, yet!
Idaho: (Looks up) Huh?
Murphy: (Smugly) Yeah, with Sean not being around, I am basically the new leader here! So I have decided to invite All of your relatives to this town!!
Idaho: WHAT!?!
Gumball and Darwin: WHAT!?!?
[Suddenly, a dozen of minivans parks outside the school. Out of them, comes about 100 Irish potatoes running and they all stop behind Murphy.]
[Gumball and Darwin are seen with their jaws dropped in shock. Idaho walks past them up to Murphy.]
Idaho: (Angrily) Hey!! This was NOT our part of the deal, you tarnated dingus!!
Murphy: (Gestures) Relax, lad! They're just gonna stay here in town for a while!
Idaho: (Arms folded) Yeah, well define "A while" then!?
Murphy: (Shrugs) About five months!
[He turns to the potato crowd] Hey, wanna go check out the new hostel!?!
Potato crowd: (Raises their fists) YEAH!!!
[All potatoes except Murphy and Idaho runs inside, and Idaho is left in shock.]
Idaho: (Furiously) This place ain't a hostel!! This is my School!!
Murphy: Well, last time I checked this is a puh'blic school! Doesn't that mean that ANYONE should be welcome here?
[Idaho raises a finger and stammers in protest, but then goes silent.]
Murphy: That's what I thought, boi! WOHOOOO!!! CÈILIDH, HERE I COME!!
[Murphy runs to inside the school, screaming. Gumball then kneels down to him and puts an arm around him.]
Gumball: (Confident) Don't worry, Idaho! See it as a good thing that we're getting new students finally!
Idaho: (Sarcastic) Sure thing, boy, let's just let a bunch of middle-aged Europeans take over the school! That's a good thing, right!? (Grumpily) I'll give it a day before we all quit...
[Idaho walks away.]
Gumball: (To Darwin) Meh, I think we'll be fine!
[Scene ends.]
The potatoes are taking over!
[Scene starts with a short montage of Gumball on different places.]
[Gumball enters his room in pyjamas, walking up to his bed.]
Gumball: (Yawns and stretches) Goodnight, Darw– WHAT THE WHAT!?!
[Gumball is met with a dozen of potatoes sleeping on his mattress. Gumball frowns and walks back out of the room.]
[In school, Gumball enters the classroom as they're watching a movie on the projector...]
Gumball: Sorry I'm late–
[...and gets met with a bunch of potatoes taking up all the seats by the desks in the classroom. Meanwhile, Gumball's own classmates are sitting on the floor.]
Gumball: Ugh!!
[Gumball takes a seat next to Leslie on the floor.]
Gumball: (To Leslie) So, how was your day toda–
Old potato: Shh!! Quiet, you gob!!
[The old Irish potato sitting on the desk behind Gumball smacks him in the head with a newspaper angrily. Gumball goes quiet and watches the movie.]
[At the school bathroom, Gumball runs in holding his bladder. He opens an empty stall.]
Gumball: (Relieved) Ahh! Finally I can empty my– AAAAHHHH!!!
[Gumball is met with a potato taking a bath inside the toilet, scrubbing his back with the toilet brush.]
Potato: Oye, close the door!! Give me some privacy 'ere!!
[Gumball slams the door shut and runs out of the school bathroom, crying in panic.]
At Lunch
[Gumball is in the school cafeteria, eating with Darwin. Around them the entire public is consisted of potatoes. Gumball is seen exhausted with bags under his eyes.]
Gumball: I don't know how much longer I can take this...
Darwin: (While chewing) What?
Gumball: (Exasperated) These GOSH DARN POTATOES, man!! It's like it keeps coming more and more of them!!
Darwin: (Swallows food) Well, you're not wrong about that...
[It pans over to the window, and we see a bus dropping off another dozen of Irish potataoes. It pans back to Gumball and Darwin shortly after.]
Gumball: (Growls) WHEN IS THIS TORMENT GONNA END!?!
[Suddenly Murphy comes into the picture as he steals Gumball's plate.]
Gumball: What the– HEY!! That's MY food!!
Murphy: (Smugly) Not anymore, lad!! You let your guard down! BA-HAHAHAHA...
[Murphy walks away from their table with the tray.]
Gumball: NGH–!! GRRR!!
[Gumball starts literally boiling in rage as smoke comes out of his ears cartoonishly, but then he calms down and sighs.]
Gumball: We need to talk to Idaho...
The 'tattie chase!!
[Scene starts with Idaho getting slammed into a locker, getting confronted by an angry Murphy. Behind them, Gumball and Darwin are standing.]
Gumball: (Flatly) Huh. That didn't take long to find him.
Murphy: You... TRAITOR!!
Idaho: (Terrified) What do you want!?! I ain't done nothin'!!
Murphy: (Angered) Ye knew about this and haven't done anything!?!
Idaho: (Confused) Know about what!?
Murphy: THIS!!!
[Murphy takes out a bag of potato chips and holds it in front of Idaho.]
Idaho: ... (Shrugs) What? They're just potato chips!
Murphy: "JUST" Potato chips!?! Our fellows have been sliced and slaughtered for this bag to be filled and all you can say is "JUST"!?! (Glares) How dare you...
[Gumball breaks the tension.]
Gumball: Um... actually, Idaho confirmed that you potatoes aren't the same as canteen potatoes, so...
Murphy: Ohh, I see how it is now!! You're having the same mindset as your little mates here! (Lets go of Idaho) Well, then I guess I have to do what I have to do...
[Beat. Gumball breaks the silence.]
Gumball: You're gonna pack your bags and go back to Ireland?
Murphy: No!! I'm gonna have no choice but to RIOT!! (Sinister) It will make the town of Elmore crumble beneath the Irish superiority! And I will start by eliminating the traitor in front of me!!
Gumball: (Nervously) Ehehehe... how about you just think about my suggestion inst–
Murphy: (Finger-whistles) TATERS!!!
[Suddenly, the ground starts to rumble and Gumball and Darwin holds onto eachother to not fall. Down the hallway, all the hundreds of Irish potatoes runs to the scene. They make their way up to Murphy and stops in front of him.]
Murphy: I've decided we're gonna start a revolution, bigger than the one in Derry! (Points at Idaho) and we're gonna start by elimininating the Traitor-tater in here!! Are you with me!?!
[The potatoes goes silent in confusion.]
Murphy: (Facepalms) Let me clarify... Destroy bad potato equals profit!
Potatoes: (Surprised) Ooohhh! (Raises their fists) YEAH!!!
[They begin charging towards Idaho. Luckily, he gets saved by Gumball at the last moment, and they escape down the hall. The potatoes runs after them and intense Irish folk music starts playing.]
Darwin: (Panting) Idaho!! You need to call off this whole thing!! These people are going absolutely haywire!!
[Idaho is seen getting carried by Gumball as he keeps running.]
Idaho: I can't! Murphy only listens to Sean and he hasn't been seen for over a day!!
Gumball: (Irritated) Gosh darnit, what is he up to now!?!
[Gumball and Darwin runs past Alan, as he is seen being squished inside of a gallon on a water dispenser.]
Gumball and Darwin: (Halts) Alan??
Alan: Oh, hi guys!
[Gumball and Darwin walks up to Alan.]
Gumball: What are you doing in there?
Alan: (Smiles unsurely) Well, since us balloons don't really need to breathe oxygen since we're always full of it, I decided to escape the horde by hiding inside this water jug!
Gumball: Huh. That's actually a really good hiding spot.
Darwin: Anyways, do you have any idea of where Idaho's cousin Sean is?
Alan: Oh, I think I saw him and his crew go to the men's bathroom before! (Worried) He looked really upset about something.
Gumball: (Shines up) That's great! That means he's back at school again!
Darwin: Thanks, Alan! Also I hope you understand that I'm doing this as a distraction...
Alan: (Raises eyebrow) Doing what?
Darwin: This!
[Darwin pushes the water dispenser over and runs away with Gumball. It makes Alan fall out of the jug onto the floor.]
Alan: AAAAAHHHH–!!!
[Alan then proceeds to get trampled by the potato horde and gets buried under them.]
[Cuts back to the boys, still running.]
Darwin: (Stressed) Quick, we need to find the men's bathroom!
[Gumball squints his eyes and peers down the hallway. He sees a door that has a male symbol with the text "Men" on it.]
Gumball: (Gasps) I see it!!
[Abruptly, another dozen of potatoes runs out and blocks the way in front of them, with wild expressions.]
Darwin: Dagnabbit! They're blocking the way!!
Gumball: (Flatly) Dude, they're rootfruits! Just kick them out of the way as you run by!
Darwin: Oh yeah, huh!
[Cuts back to the potatoes again. Suddenly, they all assemble and stack themselves on top of eachother. They transform and they turn into a moving human sculpture made out of piled potatoes.]
[It switches back to Gumball and Darwin afterwards. They both now have their pupils contracted in shock.]
Gumball: Nevermind...
[Gumball and Darwin stops running and brakes into a halt in front of the potato-person, twice their size in height.]
Darwin: (Clenches fists) Don't worry, I got this!!
Gumball: What!? No, I'm not leaving you!!
Darwin: (Certain) Just go!! I'll be fine!!
[Gumball runs past the potato-person, still carrying Idaho and Darwin is left behind.]
Darwin: (Holds up fins) Alright, you big sack of dirt! Show me what you got– OUF!!
[Darwin suddenly gets punched right in the face by the potato-person. He collapses to the ground with a blackeye.]
[Gumball stops running and turns around.]
Idaho and Gumball: (Gasps) DARWIN!!
[Darwin is laying down weakly on the ground as he's getting buried under potatoes crawling onto him.]
Darwin: (Weakly) Don't worry... I think I distracted them enough... Go and save the schooool...
[Darwin gets completely buried by the potatoes and disappears under them.]
Gumball: (Sniffs and tears up) Thank you...
[Gumball continues running.]
[It cuts to the men's bathroom. Sean is seen vomiting into a toilet in one of the stalls as his crew is standing around him.]
Sean: HAOUUURGHHH!!! (Pants) I'm never drinking American ginger ale ever again...
[Suddenly, the door is heard kicking open. Sean and the crew peeks out and sees that Gumball is crawling inside, struggling to break free from potatoes that has grabbed onto him.]
Gumball: SEAN!!! Murphy has gone out of control!!
Sean: Huh!?
Gumball: (Terrified) He invited every single one of your relatives from Ireland and now they're taking over the school!! You gotta intervene, NOW!! AAAAAHHHH...!!!
[Gumball gets dragged out of the bathroom by the potatoes. Idaho gets carried along with them.]
[Camera then zooms in on Sean's face as he is left in shock.]
Sean: (To himself) What have I done!?!
At the schoolyard
[Scene starts by the basketball court in the schoolyard. Idaho gets dropped on the ground with his hand behind his back by Murphy, and all of the potatoes are standing around them as audience.]
Murphy: HA!! I finally got ya!!
[In the background, Gumball, Darwin, and their classmates are seen standing, being tied up with ropes.]
Penny: Please, don't hurt him!! He's done nothing wrong!!
Gumball: (With gritted teeth) What are you doing!?
Penny: (Annoyed) Duh! I'm trying to save one of my classmates!
Gumball: (Angrily) Well you might be eliminated next by them if you talk too much!! Just be quiet and hope that we surrender to them and become their slaves!
[Cuts back to Murphy.]
Murphy: Right... Anyways, do you know why ya're here today, Idaho!?
Idaho: (Terror-struck) Please, Murphy! Think twice of what you're doin' here!!
Murphy: (Angrily) I already know what I'm doing heare!! And that was the wrong answer!!
[A dozen of potatoes steps in front of Idaho, wearing red balaclavas.]
Murphy: Tatties, assemble!!
[The potatoes combines themselves and forms into a potato-person again.]
Murphy: (Smirks) You can do the rest from here! Turn the boi into mash!
[Murphy walks back a few steps and stands near Gumball.]
Gumball: (Shocked) You can't be serious! Are you seriously gonna eliminate a literal child for not following your dumb ways of thinking!?!
Murphy: (Proudly) Yup, it's the only way and the right way! Now watch!!
[Cuts to Idaho as he braces himself. The potato-person lifts its foot and prepares to stomp on Idaho's face to turn him into mashed potatoes.]
Gumball: Wait!!
[The potato-person freezes right as it charges its foot. All the potatoes looks over at Gumball.]
Gumball: ...If you really want to kill uh... Idaho... then you're gonna have to uh... umm...
[Penny, Darwin and Tobias standing next to Gumball watches in confusion as he stutters.]
Gumball: Uh... mmm... (Sighs) Nevermind, carry on.
[Dramatic music starts playing, as the potato-person prepares to stomp on Idaho again...]
[...But then suddenly...]
Sean: (Distant) ...aaaaAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
[...Sean comes into the schoolyard as he is seen driving the green van again. It rams right into the potato-person, making potatoes fly everywhere.]
[The van brakes and stops with the front wheel only inches away from Idaho's head. Sean then proceeds to exit the van, with an angered face.]
Students: (Gasps happily) Sean!!!
[Sean walks up to Murphy, who is now sweating in fear.]
Murphy: (Nervously) Oh... Ehehehe... Hi boss! Wow, what a confidence to see ya her–
[Sean takes out a bottle and smashes it right into Murphy's head furiously, making him pass out.]
Charlie: Good job, lad! That should shut him up until we arrive in Dublin!
[Sean turns around to the crowd of potatoes.]
Sean: Yeah!? You saw what happened to this stuck-up eejit here!? Untie these lads and lassies RIGHT NOW, or I swear I will do the same thing to all of ya!!
[All the potatoes, except Idaho and Sean's crew submits into untying Idaho, Gumball, Darwin and the rest of the crew.]
[Idaho walks up to Sean.]
Idaho: Hahaha! (Slaps Sean on the back) Good job, pal!
Sean: (In pain) OUF!! Hey, watch the liver, boi!
[Idaho and Sean laughs with eachother. Sean then sighs sheepishly.]
Sean: I'm sorry for bringing this mess upon ya and ye're class. I was irresponsible and should've left while I still could...
Idaho: (Chuckles) It's fine! I'm just happy I'm not in some casserole right now!
Sean: Hahahaha! Good one, mate!
[Sean walks up to Gumball and Darwin standing with their class, all now untied.]
Sean: (Shrugs) Hey, I gotta give it to ya, blue cat! If ya didn't warn me, your friend over there would've been at either the hospital or the farm!
Gumball: (Raises eyebrow) Yeah that's great and all, but what are you gonna do with them?
[Sean looks at Murphy, who is now snoring loudly while drooling. He looks back at Gumball again.]
Sean: Meh, I'll prolly just put him in the trunk until we reach Galway!
Gumball: (Flatly) No, not him. Them.
[Gumball points behind Sean and he turns around. He gazes upon the entire nation of potatoes staring at him.]
Sean: Um... (Scratches head) I'll probably just fit them into the van, too?
Gumball: (Annoyed) There's like 500 of them! There's no way that they'll all fit!
[Darwin all of a sudden shines up.]
Darwin: Ohh! I have an idea!
[Darwin leans down to Sean and whispers in his ear. He nods and listens carefully.]
Sean: Ya know what? That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea!
Aftermath
[The final scene begins, and it shows that the potatoes that Murphy brought has now painted and stacked themselves together to look like Gumball and Darwin. They're holding a presentation next to Miss Simian in front of the class.]
Fake Gumball: (Reads note) Hi this is me, the cat and big head Gumball Watterson! I come from my rabbit father and cat...
[Scene cuts to the hallway. Gumball and Darwin are sitting by some lockers next to the classroom, eating chips while skipping school.]
Gumball: (With mouth full) Great thinking, dude!
[Gumball and Darwin fistbumps eachother, and the episode ends.]
