"Hey, guys." "Aww, why the long face?" "Feeling gloomy?" "One, his face is long because he tried to stretch his skin to make it look like he's too old to go to school." "Two, no, mom didn't buy it." "And three, yes, I'm feeling gloomy." "Aww, man, I don't know how you guys do it." "It's not that difficult to stretch your face." "There's an online tutorial for everything nowadays." "So, did you finish... no, I mean I don't know how you go to school every day." "Rocky, you drive us there." "Well, I don't have to." "Really?" "Aah!" "Aaah!" "Yeah, we're on a bus." "We could go anywhere." "Like under the sea?" "Or to outer space?" "Or up a rainbow?" "Well, anywhere with a road." "But not up steep hills." "Or under low bridges." "Let's do it!" "After all, we've got the rest of our lives to go to school." "Well, I think we should go to school so we can work hard..." "And get the best possible start in life." "Anyone else want to go to school?" "Nope." "No, no, no, no." "Okay." "No school it is!" "So, where should we go instead?" "Daisy land!" "The beach!" "The school bus!" "We're already on the school bus." "Yeah-ha!" "What about the water park?" "Aww, the beach." "All righty." "We just got to make one more stop." "Is that all of you, Mr. Pink?" "Almost." "Looks like Mr. yellow didn't make it." "Why catch the bus when the bus can catch you?" "The binoculars made it look closer than it was." "So I guess it's still quite fa..." "All right, we'll go to the water park, then the beach." "Good afternoon, children." "My name is Mr. Brown." "This is Mr. Pink, Mr. Rainbow, and Mr. White, and we'll be your captors for the day." "The exits are irrelevant, 'cause you're going nowhere!" "Nobody move or I'll be forced to use this!" "It's a briefcase!" "No, more than that." "It's a ticking briefcase!" "No!" "More than that." "It's a bomb!" "No!" "No, no, no, no, no." "Less than that." "Ah, yes, we are legally obliged to say it's not one of those." "Oh, my gosh, they've got a..." "Oh, come on, guys." "It's obviously not a Bo... but it's ticking!" "And masked strangers have taken over the bus!" "But they're clearly our parents trying to teach us some sort of lesson." "Principal brown hasn't even changed his name." "Yes, I have!" "Uh, I mean he has." "I-I mean he hasn't." "I m..." "I mean..." "Who is this principal Brown?" "You are." "Shh!" "Oh, uh, yes." "We're going to call the cops and tell them we won't release you until our demands are met." "Make the call, Mr. Rainbow." "I thought we were gonna disguise my voice." "Um..." "All right." "Hello?" "Police?" "We have taken control of the school bus, and you better do what say," "Or there'll be consequences." "Oh, sorry!" "Or there'll be consequences!" "Oh, come on, Alan." "You're telling me you don't even recognize the balloon?" "Wait, I do recognize him." "Yeah?" "I saw him in our house last night." "Yeah?" "!" "On TV. "Elmore's most wanted."" "It's just our parents trying to teach us a lesson." "Like when my dad tried to teach us the dangers of texting while walking." "Help me!" "I've fallen down this manhole because I was texting while walking!" "Darwin, you can't seriously be scared of these guys!" "Of course I am." "They're criminal masterminds." "I just think it would be fun." "I've never been in a hovercraft." "No!" "We should ask for a private jet." "They always ask for a private jet." "Could it be a private hovercraft?" "We need to ask for money." "How much?" "It doesn't matter." "The police know this is all fake." "See?" "They're not scary." "You're right." "We just need a leader to reason with them." "Someone brave." "Someone who's not afraid to look the enemy in the eye." "Someone who laughs in the face of danger." "I would say you, Gumball, but you're obviously sick." "Maybe Leslie." "No, me!" "I'll do it!" "Oh, but hovercrafts are..." "hmm?" "Uh, dad?" "It's Mr. Pink!" "Fine." "Mr. Pink." "I know it's you, dad." "Uh..." "I've never heard of this "dad" of whom you speak." "I'm just a criminal." "How did I become a criminal, you ask?" "I didn't ask." "I suppose it all started when I was 11 years old and skipped a math class." "Uh-huh." "And for this crime, the punishment was harsh and swift." "I spent 12 years in juvie, then 5 years inside, then 24 years on the run, then 30 years back in the big house, then a further 7 in solitary." "That makes you 89." "It doesn't add up." "Well, I wouldn't know 'cause I skipped that math class." "Sure." "So, I assume you all ended up in a life of crime through skipping school?" "Yes." "Yeah." "Mm-hmm." "Well, uh, my tragic story starts on the right side of the tracks, but, boy, it sure doesn't stay there." "Yeah, yeah." "We get it." "But I learned the whole thing." "Don't I get to..." "ohh." "See?" "I told you." "It's a load of hooey." "Take the wheel and get me closer!" "Closer." "Closer." "Closer." "We are willing... okay, too close." "We are willing to meet your demands!" "I'll throw the money over in three, two, one!" "That one's gonna hurt the taxpayer." "Control, we need another million dollars." "They doubled their demands?" "Uh, uh, yeah, they doubled their demands." "Eh..." "Wow." "They're really going big on this." "If only they responded this fast to real crimes." "Where do you want the money?" "Leave the million dollops of unmasked bulls on the cold desert toad." "What?" "What?" "!" "Oh, sorry." "Autocorrect." "Leave the million dollars of unmarked bills on the old desert road." "All units fall back." "Ahead of second drop-off." "Any sign of them, chief?" "I'm cooking out here." "They're on their way." "Make the drop." "Okay, you hold on to me, and I'll reach out and grab the briefcase." "Maybe we should switch!" "Did you get it?" "Mm-hmm." "Okay, we have the money." "Now, we don't want to see any red lights between here and the airport." "They're heading for the airport!" "We got to take them down!" "Wait, this wasn't supposed to be real money!" "It was just a trick to teach the kids a lesson." "Well, I guess the lesson you've actually taught is that crime does pay." "Well-done, chaps." "You've done good." "Get 'em!" "Eh!" "Eh!" "Eh!" "Eh!" "We got 'em!" "Kind of." "And now to reveal their true identities." "They were our parents all along?" "!" "Really?" "You got me." "It's true." "I am Richard watterson's..." "Evil twin brother!" "Give it up, dad." "We just wanted to teach you that skipping school isn't cool or exciting." "By involving us a in a million-dollar high-speed police chase, which is probably the most cool or exciting thing we've ever done?" "Yes, but we thought it was all going to be pretend." "Hang on." "If the money's genuine and the cops are for real, does that mean this is a real... bada-boom!" "Whose insane idea was this?" "Stick to the pan or everyone dines." "Darn autocorrect!" "Stupid thing never works." "Rob?" "Oh,now you remember my name." "It's Dr. Wrecker to you, and yes, this whole thing was my idea." "All I had to do was suggest the plan to principal brown, make sure the police thought it was real, and switch the briefcase for something a little more, shall we say, explosive." "But why?" "!" "Because I..." "Am..." "Your..." "Nemesis!" "And also for the money." "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Sorry." "It's kind of hard to keep your eyes on the road when there's a crucial plot twist happening in the back of your..." "The money!" "Wow!" "These guys are pros!" "They must have one heck of a wheelman!" "Little lower!" "Aah!" "Aaaaah!" "Go, go, go!" "You're under arrest!" "It wasn't us, it was him!" "Huh?" "!" "Aaah!" "Gumball!" "Thanks, man!" "Fighting on the wing of a plane is way more fun than math class!" "This isn't supposed to be fun!" "Wait, what?" "Then... then why are you doing this?" "Because I'm a villain!" "What choice do I have?" "Oof!" "All I've got on my résumé is laughing maniacally, monologuing about evil plans, and a major in Canadian history." "I can't exactly go into catering." "And now, Gumball watterson, prepare to be wrecked!" "Oh, officer, help me!" "He's got a ticking briefcase!" "Oh, come on." "These are professional law enforcers." "As if they're gonna fall... you're coming with us!" "No!" "No, wait!" "No, no, not him." "The other one." "Ugh." "It's too late now!" "He's got away with the money." "No, he hasn't." "That's the money." "It's got my teeth marks in it." "Aah, we got the money back." "He got away, but my shift ends in five minutes, so shall we say case closed?" "But if this is the money, doesn't that mean that Dr. Wrecker has the..." "Well, there's only one thing left to say." "You are..." "I know, I know." "I'm wrecked." "I was gonna say you're under arrest." "Oh, yes." "That makes more sense."
