This work is my imagination about the episodes we know from the seventh season.
This episode I found someone on Twitter who shared a little of the script, so it will probably be the most faithful chapter to the show. If others aren't faithful, it's just my bad writing.
I know there's already someone working on a seventh season, TheBriefcase001, I love his work. I'm just having fun here.
By the way, I haven't forgotten about my other work for those who follow it, again, I'm just having fun.
THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL
THE BURGER
The episode begins by showing the front of the school, then moves inside Mrs. Simian's room, where she is standing writing with chalk on the board.
"Okay, class, today we're going to start talking about...", she finished writing and turned to the students, now it can be seen that she wrote the effects of a bad diet, "...what happens when you feeds carelessly", she said emotionlessly.
This made everyone groan in boredom, "Are we going to see that again?!", Carmen, who is in the front row, complained.
Mrs. Simian was slightly irritated, "Know that this is an important matter to take care of your health...", she looked away and whispered disinterestedly, "...or something like that".
"MR SMALL!", she shouted in her hoarse voice to the door, it opened and Mr Small appeared dressed in a realistic heart costume.
He arrived in the middle of the room and smiled, "Hello, little budding minds! Ms. Simian and I are here today to-".
Mr Simian punched him hard in the stomach, he grimaced in pain and knelt on the floor with his hands on his stomach and his head down.
"Didn't we agree that you would warn me?", he said breathlessly.
Mr Simian raised his index finger as he spoke, "When you eat poorly, especially fatty food like a Joy Burger, it builds up in your veins".
Mr Small tries to breathe, but the sound coming out of his mouth suggests that he is unable to get oxygen into his body.
Mr Simian continued, "When this happens, the fat creates an extra layer that prevents blood from passing through. The blood that can't get through builds up".
Mr Small's white cloud face slowly turns blue until it covers almost his entire head.
"This accumulation can cause hypertension, swelling in the veins...", his expression brightened a little, "In bad situations, your heart can even...burst".
Mr Small took a deep breath, but was still out of breath and blue in the face.
This made all the students look terrified and raise their arms to protect themselves from what might happen next.
But then Mr Small exhaled slightly, but normally. He slowly began to breathe normally and his face returned to being white.
The students lowered their arms when nothing really bad happened and sighed in relief.
Mr Small stood up with less pain, but still with his arms on his stomach.
"You can go now, Mr Small", she said without interest.
Mr Small turned to the class, "Well, young people, I hope you've learned about being responsible for what you eat!", he smiled crookedly due to the pain in his torso.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to check if I still have Amethysts in my closet", he left the room without a smile and with his mouth crooked in discomfort.
At the back of the room, in the corner of the last row, Gumball had his head resting on his hand and looking bored.
Darwin on the other hand, had a shocked and terrified expression on his face.
His chin twitched into his mouth in disgust, his features were heavier and there were several sharp shadowed lines to highlight his astonishment.
He stayed like that until he finally said, "Man, this is horrible!", his expression changed to wide eyes.
"Yeah, every time I see Mr Small get punched, I get hungrier than before".
Darwin scowled, "No! I'm not talking about that! I'm talking about how a delicious burger can make our hearts EXPLODE!".
Gumball frowned, "Dude, she was just trying to scare us".
The scene cuts to them in the cafeteria, waiting to get their lunch in line.
"Also, this is a problem for older people. They're the ones who have to worry about things like weight gain and bills".
When it was his turn, Gumball stood there with an eyebrow raised in confusion, "Wait, how did we go from class time to lunch time so quickly?".
"It's five dollars", Rocky snapped Gumball out of his reverie.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a five dollar bill to give to Rocky.
Rocky used a large spoon instead of a ladle this time and dropped it on Gumball's plate.
Today's food looked like polenta, with a yellow tinge and small browner spots, but its shape was firmer.
Gumball looked at that confused, "This food is very different from normal".
Rocky overheard him and commented, "Lucky for you, Principal Brown packed a bag of bread and meat for today".
He pointed behind him and the screen showed two bags with the Joy Burger logo, one of which was very wet at the bottom, suggesting it was the meat bag.
"But they were kind of ugly, so I fried them until they looked really pretty".
Gumball got excited, "Uh, burger for lunch".
Darwin also took his food as he spoke to Gumball, "This is what I'm talking about, we eat things like this all the time".
They arrived at a table and sat down, "And we're growing up, one day we're going to be adults!".
He slammed his hand on the table determinedly, "If we don't change now, we're going to have a lifetime of cardiologists and diets!".
Gumball looked at his brother, uninterested, as he ate, "Dude, I'm usually the exaggerated one, this isn't going to be good for you. So take it easy".
Darwin looked at him surly.
"I didn't think I'd need to use this, but it's for our own good".
Darwin took a deep breath, his chin crinkling at the action. Gumball looked confused.
The surly expression was replaced by calm and serenity, "Tell me, dear brother, you and Penny are getting married, aren't you?".
Gumball raised an eyebrow, "Well, yes, if she doesn't turn down my next marriage proposal scheduled in ten years".
"And if you get married, you'll live in the same house and take care of each other, right?".
Gumball started to get cautious, "Aham, and?".
"So you don't mind making her constantly take care of you like a baby, why didn't you take care of your health?".
Gumball opened his mouth but said nothing, his face tightening with worry as he imagined the future.
Ten Years Later*
Penny was walking inside the house, passing by the furniture as she picked up several items and placed them in the bag on her arm.
She went to the other side of the living room and grabbed her car key, heading to the open door.
She stopped in front of her and turned inside, "GUMBALL! LET'S GO!".
A door downstairs opened, and it stayed that way until someone slowly walked out.
Gumball, now an adult, was taller and very overweight. His fat formed several layers of fat one above the other, his limbs were stretched because he couldn't contract them without using a lot of force.
Because of all this, he walked outside slowly and his size made it even more difficult.
With a small effort, he managed to get through the door, trying to balance himself so as not to fall.
"Are you sure you can do it?" Penny asked, frustrated and worried about her husband.
Gumball raised his arms as high as he could, "No, no, it's okay".
He began to walk, slowly, "I can do it," he took another step, "I can do it," he took another step, "I can-aaaAAAaahhh".
He got confused in his steps and fell.
But his size made him roll forward faster than he was walking.
Yet it was slow enough for Penny to sidestep and watch nervously in concern as it rolled away until it came to a stop, hitting its face on the ground.
He lay still for a moment, his arms and legs stretched out on the floor.
She could hear him start to cry like a child.
Gift*
Gumball looked away in horror at this possible future.
Darwin remained calm, staring at Gumball, waiting for his answer.
Gumball dropped his head and arms, "Okay, let's do this".
Darwin's calm expression turned into an excited, sharp-toothed, "YYEEEEAAAHH!". Gumball lifted his head to watch his very motivated brother.
"LET'S DO THIS! AND LET'S DO IT NOW!", he picked up his and Gumball's trays and threw them away.
Gumball was surprised and angry, "MAN, THEY WERE FIVE DOLLAR BURGERS!".
Darwin didn't care, "MONEY DOESN'T MATTER WHEN YOU WANT TO BE HEALTHY!".
Gumball looked directly at the camera, uncomfortable, "I think we reversed the roles in the script".
Next Day*
Gumball and Darwin are at Joy Burger, walking in line with smug smiles.
When it was their turn, Larry said, "Hello, welcome to Joy Burger, which burger or snack would you like?".
Gumball, because of his size, rested his elbow on the wall of the counter as he looked at the claws.
"Actually, Laurence, today we're going to want..", he looked into Larry's eyes, "...a salad".
Larry got slightly nervous, but didn't change his stance, "You're in the wrong place to ask this, but as the customer you're always right, of course!".
When Larry went to the kitchen, he made the usual burgers, but the bun, meat, cheese and sauce were much smaller while the vegetables were the usual size.
He arrived at Gumball and Darwin's table, who were sitting across from each other still wearing smug smiles.
"Here's your order!", he placed the "salad"/micro burger in front of each one.
"Thank you", Gumball said in an elegant voice.
When Larry left, Darwin also elegantly said, "To be healthy, you need to eat right".
They dressed the salads elegantly.
They both broke their snobbish poses and looked surprised and uncomfortable at their orders, "Hey! That's just a disproportionate burger!", Darwin placed a hand on his hip.
"I think we should have gone to the nearest restaurant", Gumball said.
After*
Gumball and Darwin walked around the supermarket with an empty cart with them.
"Okay, let's start with responsible shopping", he reached into his pocket and took out some money, "How much do you have for your allowance?".
Darwin put his hand near his sneakers, but then hesitated, "Can you turn around?".
Gumball rolled his eyes and turned away with his arms crossed, "Dude, why do you do that? Anyone would know that you hide your money in-".
Darwin looked at Gumball with a finger in his mouth, "Shh, you don't know if anyone could be listening".
Soon after, a shelf near them shook violently along with a nervous voice, over and over again, until someone came out from behind it.
A fat yellow rabbit man wearing a white shirt stopped as he walked out of the hallway, looking at Darwin and Gumball nervously.
He turned away and tried to walk quickly, but he lost his breath every few seconds.
Darwin then put his hand on his sneaker again, this time looking around and taking out all the money he had.
Gumball turned to his brother, looking at his money and Darwin's money.
"It's not much, I think we shouldn't have spent so much buying high-calorie things for our girlfriends or trying to eat a salad at a fast food restaurant".
They both sighed.
Darwin maintained his mostly positive attitude, "Well, that was in the past, now let's make choices for the future".
From where they were, they looked at the prices of nearby foods.
They went from price to price but everything seemed way above their budget.
Darwin was a little discouraged, "Okay, maybe money matters in healthy eating".
The screen shows the supermarket outside, facing the door. You can see an orange building with a tall Joy Burger sign so close to the market that it appears to be the same property.
The door opens and Darwin and Gumball are walking out, with an avocado in a bag and disappointed faces.
"I think we can eat it if we share it well and don't let Mr. Father find it", Darwin shrugged, trying to look on the bright side with an unconfident smile.
But as soon as they step outside the market's boundaries, the avocado shrivels and turns from green to almost black purple with lighter dots immediately.
Gumball and Darwin look at this with their brows furrowed and their mouths almost stretching to fall to the ground.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!", Gumball's tone of voice was a mixture of anger, disappointment and surprise.
Darwin scratched his head, "I think that not having excessive pesticides and preservatives makes it what it really is. Something that wouldn't last three seconds outside the refrigerator".
Gumball groaned, "Great! More money down the drain!"
Then the sun rises and they blink as if it were a lamp coming on.
Gumball's eyes widened, "Wait, THAT'S IT!".
The scene progresses to Gumball and Darwin searching and rummaging through a large trash can in an alley of some establishment.
Darwin stopped digging through the trash, "I don't think there's anything here, just thrown away food in excellent condition", he picked up a loaf of bread that was crumpled and torn apart, but it was possible to see that it wasn't moldy or rotten.
Gumball lifted his head from where he was searching, "Exactly, people always throw away healthy food", he moved his hands towards his face as he sniffled, "Smell it".
Darwin tried, sniffling twice lightly, but his face turned with disgust and regret, "Bleh, this smells like dead relatives! Why does this food stink when it's so good?".
"I FOUND IT!", Gumball dug a little and pulled out a bag with both hands. It was a clear bag with half-filled sesame seeds in it.
They jumped out of the trash can and walked away, "Let's plant this in a great place".
As soon as their voices were distant, a door on the side of the trash can opened and Larry came out with a bag in his hand.
He went to the trash can and dumped everything he had, which was perfectly good fast food ingredients.
Then he took a shovel and pressed it inside, crushing everything until it looked like it had been chewed. Finally, he caught a fish, cut its belly open and threw it in the trash can.
He checked, a sniffle being enough to make him feel disgusted, "Bleh".
He is surprised to look at the pile of trash, "Wasn't there a bag of seeds here?".
The scene flashes to Gumball and Darwin in the middle of a lawn, with Gumball throwing the seeds from the bag Darwin is holding into several long holes where the seeds will be buried.
Gumball is wearing lighter clothes, (Darwin is wearing sandals), and hats to protect themselves from the sun.
They both have calm smiles on their faces as they walk.
They stop and Darwin closes the bag.
Gumball puts his hands on his hips, "Man, the working environment at the camp is so good and enriching".
"Yeah, we're not even in the countryside and I already feel like a worker loved by nature".
The screen moves away from them to show that they have made a large plantation in their backyard. You could hear the sounds of fire trucks, cars braking, neighbors fighting and dogs barking furiously.
Gumball seemed uncertain, "Are you sure we're doing this right?".
Darwin continued with a smile on his face, "Of course, all plants need is land, love...".
They both put their hands on their chests and took out their cute hearts.
They grabbed one end and tore off a small piece with their fingers, this made them choke breathlessly with their bodies twisting like the letter Z.
They quickly recovered and patted the pieces down and placed their hearts back in their chests.
"And water", they went to the house and turned a tap.
A slight bulge was seen in the hose, going all the way to the end and exiting in a light stream that just moistened the soil in the holes.
"Now just wait", they entered the house.
A few seconds passed and the seeds were already taking root and becoming green seedlings.
But then Larry's head popped over the backyard fence. His eyes widened when he saw the seedlings.
He scrambled over the fence, falling off it and almost falling backwards to the ground. He had a small gas tank with him.
He went through the plantation to the tap, opening it a little more.
He returned to the plantation and poured the gasoline into the running water. This made the gasoline reach all the seedlings at almost the same time.
He reached into his pants pocket and took out a box of matches. He lit one and threw it into the water.
Immediately the upper part caught fire and this fire spread until it also reached all the seedlings, making them look like tropical forest trees being burned.
He put his hands on his hips, "Well, now my boss won't fire me".
But he turned around in surprise when he heard a voice, "WHAT?!".
Gumball and Darwin were standing in front of the lawn. Gumball looked angry while Darwin screamed in terror with his mouth in a round shape.
Larry hurriedly ran through the burning devastation he caused to escape.
He jumped onto the fence, rising a little higher and falling on the other side.
The brothers ran to the burning plantation.
"GUMBALL, OPEN THE TAP!", Darwin said.
Gumball ran to the faucet and turned it on as far as he could.
Darwin took the hose and pointed it toward the seedlings. Tears form in his eyes and his lips tremble, "I'm sorry", he whispered.
The water came out of the hose with force, enough to not only put out the fire, but also dismantle the now weakened structure of the seedlings.
When the fire was gone, they dropped everything and looked down on their plantation.
The holes were flooded with a mixture of water, gasoline and burning cellulose.
They bowed their heads in mourning, Darwin cried and Gumball placed his hat on his chest, both with their eyes closed.
Hours passed and it was dark, everyone in the Watterson family was walking around the table getting ready for dinner.
Anais jumped very high to throw the cutlery perfectly where each chair was, Nicole circled the table placing the patros with Berezka dance movements, but due to her strength, she did it with great speed.
She placed all the dishes and smiled satisfied.
She turned to the stairs, "BOYS, IT'S TIME FOR DINNER!".
She looked at the stairs, waiting for her children to come down. Footsteps could be heard, but they seemed faint.
When they exited the stairs, Nicole gasped. Both were suffering from severe Anorexia, Gumball's ribs were almost out while Darwin's knees were absurdly visible.
She put her hands over her mouth and Anais and Richard, who had a spoon and an apron, looked scared, "Oh my god! Are you okay?!".
Gumball raised his arms to calm them down, "We're fine, mom, there's only been a few".
"We decided to eat some things we planted, but they caught fire. Still, we're not going to eat anything that's mega-industrialized", Darwin said.
Anais looked proud, "I really think it's inspiring that you decided to eat something healthy...", then her look became sad, "But I think if you don't eat something, you'll turn into skeletons".
Nicole smiled to lighten the mood, "And you don't even need to eat much, after all your father is taking care of lunch today, so it's going to be very filling".
As if summoned, Richard appeared with a pan with him, "It's my special...".
He scooped up some of the food with his spoon and placed it on a plate, the camera angle showing the food from below.
"Pasta with sausage and sauce".
A small mountain of long noodles with parsley so chopped it looked like seasoning and a thick sauce that seemed to run like an ice cream topping.
An almost transparent smoke came out of the plate and reached the brothers' stomachs, poking them.
Their stomachs seemed to try to jump out of their skin in desperation, which scared the smoke and made it disappear.
They hugged their bellies.
"We need to put an end to this."
Gumball and Darwin walked into a random store, recovered from their anorexia.
Thanks to Larry being Elmore's breadwinner, they would find him at the first store they entered.
"Hello, what can I-AH!", he walked away as Gumball slammed his hands on the counter with a stern look and his face looking like an angry bulldog.
The camera changes and shows that he reached the counter because he climbed onto Darwin's head.
"W-what do you want?", he asked scared.
Gumball spoke in an authoritative and serious tone, "Answers, Larry. We want answers".
Gumball jumped off Darwin's head and they both stared at Larry, irritated and with their arms crossed.
Larry regained his usual posture, "Sorry, but my work as a consultant doesn't start until...", he looked at the clock on the wall, "Three minutes".
"But if you want to go to therapy, I can help you now", he took a pen and a notebook from somewhere.
"No, Laurence. We're talking about food. We want to know why you served us hamburgers when we asked for salad, why there was perfectly good food in the trash can at work and why you burned down our plantation".
Larry had a stoic look on his face, "First, because even if they ordered a salad at a restaurant, they would still get something like that. No food is completely healthy", he held up two fingers, "And second, those seeds are the property of Joy Burger, or that is, from my boss".
Gumball opened his arms, "But it was in the trash! Nothing in the trash has an owner!".
Larry gave a small smile, "Oh, Joy Burger's trash belongs to us even when thrown away, it's one of the clauses".
He frowned and placed his hands on his hips, "Now I can't say anything else that isn't already public knowledge".
Darwin was irritated, "How is this information public?!".
"It's all on our website".
Gumball and Darwin took deep breaths with their arms open, looking like action figures.
"I think we need to say the magic words...", ambis had victorious smiles on their faces.
This left Larry scared as he understood, "H-hehe, I think you should reconsider".
Gumball raised his head higher, "I want to talk...".
Larry clasped his hands together and pointed at Gumball, sweating, "Seriously, you don't want to do this".
"With your boss".
His voice had an echo effect and every adult working job within a radius of two kilometers had their spine straight and their body covered in goosebumps.
Gumball and Darwin stared at a frightened Larry with a thousand-yard stare.
Larry recovered, "Okay", he lowered his head.
He lifted it up and looked menacingly at them, "But you won't get to him unharmed!"
Gumball puffed out his chest, "We accept the challenge!".
Larry turned serious, "It wasn't a challenge, it was a warning".
A while later*
Gumball and Darwin were walking down a small, short hallway towards a red door, both with their two eyes black and their heads down.
"Man, that wasn't cool", Darwin complained.
"Who would have thought that you need to take a lot of beating to get high in the hierarchy", Gumball commented.
He placed his hand on the handle and turned it, the door being easily pushed open.
When they entered, their eyes returned to normal.
The room was large, both because of its size and because there wasn't much furniture occupying it.
On the other side of the room, there was a large table with an equally large chair. In it, someone was sitting.
Gumball and Darwin reached the front of the table.
"Well, so are you the ones who have been causing problems?", A long but thin hamburger with a body made of several ingredients that represented specific parts, the head was a bun, the neck was a tomato and right below it was a salad, the rest was covered by the dark blue suit, he asked.
"We want to know why you're stopping us from eating healthy," Gumball puffed out his chest.
"As if that were possible," the burger sneered.
"But isn't it?" Darwin was confused.
"See, every food store is affiliated with and sponsored by me, and so every food you eat has a little Joy Burger in it".
"Even the fruits?", Darwin asked.
He shrugged, "We injected them with saturated fat".
He returned to his explanation, "And when that happens, I make a profit on them, as well as ensuring that everyone gets addicted to our fast food foods".
Gumball gasped, "SO THAT'S WHY ORGANIC FOOD IS SO EXPENSIVE?!".
The burger made a gesture with his hand, "Ah, no, no. They are already naturally expensive. If I tried to make more profit from them, no one would buy them".
Darwin looked sad, "So we'll never be healthy?".
The burger looked at him seriously, "Don't worry, at least they can die with their hearts full, literally!", he laughed devilishly.
Gumball got angry, "Not if we stop you!", he pointed so hard at the burger that his finger was shaking.
"Really? And how are you going to do that? How are you going to destroy a corrupt empire?".
Gumball opened his mouth, but no complete words came out, "Uh-Ah-hm...".
He then managed to say something, "I-I'll tell them!", he pointed towards the camera.
The burger stared at the camera for a few seconds and scoffed, "Nah, they don't care".
Gumball fumbled again, "Well-Hm... T-then I'm going to tell everyone in Elmore!", he stood in a pose that showed power.
Burger looked at him unimpressed, "Could you live in a world without Joy Burger?".
Gumball lost his composure, lowering his head after thinking for a moment, "No".
The burger smiled a little, "Well, neither did the others".
They snapped their fingers and two huge French fry guards appeared.
"I think our conversation is over".
Gumball and Darwin took refuge in each other.
But Darwin took the initiative, "Wait!".
Burger raised an eyebrow.
"Don't you see? You are destroying the health of many simply because it will go into your pocket. You are even wasting food to make maximum profit".
"Of course, if we kept the food any longer, it would spoil and we would lose money. So we throw it away and charge more to avoid making a loss".
"But this is ruining the world, not just people. It's producing more than you need from something you won't even eat and ruining the chances of those who want to do something different, but you can change that".
He gave a slight smile, "If you change your practices to something more sustainable, we can maintain the planet and the lives of others. Even if there is a risk of you going bankrupt, don't you think you should do it?".
He smiled the most hopeful and gentle smile he had, which made the burger look doubtful. But just for a moment.
"I'd rather keep lining my pockets until life on this planet is unsustainable and I have to escape in a spaceship with other rich people".
Darwin's hopeful expression fell into sadness and horror.
"What? Did you think that would convince me?".
Gumball got angry, "Hey! Take it easy, he thinks there are goblins at the end of the rainbow!".
Darwin turned angrily with his hands on his hips to Gumball, "If they don't exist, then who protects the pot of gold!".
The burger looked at both of them with slight disdain and sighed, "I hate children".
He snapped his fingers again and the guards came at them.
Darwin and Gumball dodged in opposite directions, taking advantage of the free space in the room to dodge.
One of the guards tried to catch Gumball, who had his back against a wall.
He went towards Gumball with open arms, but Gumball jumped on his head and pushed him into the wall, making him groan in pain.
Gumball ran towards the Burger table, climbed on it and tried to grab him.
But he was lifted into the air and swept away before he could.
He tried to stretch his arms to reach it before turning around and seeing that the guard had caught him.
He looked for his brother and saw him also raised in the air, swinging his legs as if he were running.
He hit the guard's knee a few times.
To deal with, the guard grabbed both of his legs and was now holding him like a fish that had just been caught.
He lay still for a moment taking in what happened and tried to pull himself up into a sit-up, but he could barely pull himself up.
He tried twice with difficulty before giving up being very sweaty, "Man, now I really want ripped abs!".
Burger stood stoic, "Take 'em".
The guards headed for the door as Gumball screamed at the top of his lungs, "YOU THINK YOU GOT AWAY?! I'LL TELL EVERYONE! THEY'LL BELIEVE ME!".
Burger remained stoic, "Of course and my middle name is Jessica".
Gumball moved his irritated eyes downward, the burger following him.
The camera showed a gold plate with three names on it and the name in the middle clearly said "Jessica".
Burger got nervous and he and Gumball stared at each other as he turned the gold plate the other way.
It was the last thing Gumball saw before the red door slammed shut.
The camera showed the outside of where they were, a building in some strange place.
One of the doors to the building opened and Gumball and Darwin came out of it, carried by the guards.
They were lifted into the air a little more and then dropped.
The guards kicked them in sync and they flew high into the air, with the guards slamming the door shut.
The impulse was so great that they reached the Moon, which was beginning to appear, in a few seconds, hitting it and leaving a new, small crater in it.
They ricocheted off the Moon and returned to Earth within a few seconds, hitting the ground with less force than it should have actually been.
But still, they got up with a lot of effort from the ground.
After they were able to stand, Gumball wiped himself off while Darwin seemed to agonize over everything that had happened.
"So that's it? We'll never be able to have a healthy heart that won't explode because someone just wants to line their pockets?".
Gumball shrugged, "Yeah".
Darwin was disappointed and sad.
Gumball put his hand on his brother's shoulder, "See, man, isn't it that bad".
Darwin looked at him almost crying, "Do you think so?".
"Sure, we'll probably die from Daddy's farts first".
Darwin looked at him sadly, but still chuckled, "Maybe".
But he started to do the same, "Or we will die because of Madam Mother's screams first".
They both laughed.
"Or we're going to die from the Mercury from the fish accumulating on us", they laughed.
"Or global warming that will cook our skins", they laughed.
"Or with the radiation generated by the weapons of the third world war", they laughed.
They were laughing like idiots.
But their laughter began to turn to lamentations and soon they were disappointed.
"I think we better start building a bunker in the backyard".
