The Amazing World of Gumball (2011–…): Season 5, Episode 17 - The Box - full transcript
The Wattersons receive an unmarked package in the mail. To distract themselves from the urge to open it they all take turns to imagine what it might contain.

[ DOORBELL RINGS ]
Did anyone
order anything?
TOGETHER: Nah.
This was the credit-card
company's answer
when I asked if I can
order things online.
[ LAUGHTER THROUGH TELEPHONE ]
It's been like that
for three days.
I think they're working
in shifts.
Well, it was delivered
to our door, so...
[ SLOOP! ]
Uh... uh...
Opening other people's mail
is a crime!
Oh, why is there always a law
against everything I want to do?
Because the last thing
you wanted to do
was to move into the supermarket
so you could eat for free.
Uh, if the food
enters your body and exits it
while still in the supermarket,
it's technically not stealing.
- Hmm.
- Hmm.
Come on! Am I the only one
who wants to open the box?
Opening other people's mail
is like staring at the sun...
The more people tell you
you shouldn't do it,
the more you just gotta.
MOM: Richard,
we're over here.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Now, kids, there's plenty
of fun things we could do
to take our mind off
opening the box.
Just think
outside the box.
Play some music
on the boom box,
maybe go watch
a boxing match,
or just open the box,
the box... open the box!
[ PANTING ]
Wait.
I think know what it is.
It's a teleportation gun.
How could you possibly know
what a fictional object
sounds like?
Uh, what does
a laser sword sound like?
TOGETHER: Pshew!
Wah-wah.
Pshew!
Hwoosh!
Case closed.
Box open.
We're not opening it.
Oh, come on.
Think about how this
could benefit society
and enrich our lives...
[ "LIVES" ECHOING ]
Gumball, I told you
to take out the garbage.
[ BEEP, LASER FIRING ]
[ GRUNTS, SIGHS ]
I'm not sure
I'm comfortable with this.
Speak for yourself.
[ LASERS FIRING ]
Hi, Mom.
What are you doing?
I just found a way
to avoid walking.
Are you sure
that thing is safe?
I think so.
What makes you say that?
Uh, probably that weird thing
on your nose.
It seems teleportation is
dangerously affecting your DNA.
So you're saying
I'm getting superpowers?
No.
That's a rather specific
interpretation
of what I just said.
But you're not saying
that I won't?
Indeed.
But I would say
there is a 99.9% chance
you will turn into
a cyst-like pile of flesh
with tongues where
there shouldn't be tongues.
Oh. Uh, right.
I... I understand.
Good.
Finally.
So you're saying
there's a 0.01% chance
that I could get
superpowers?!
[ LASER FIRES ]
No, no, no, no!
Hey, dude... whoa!
Looks like you've been
teleporting...
a lot.
[ SQUISH! ]
Whoa.
What's that?!
I've been trying
to get superpowers.
I wanted to fly, so I took
a bird through the portal.
But instead,
now I can lay eggs.
Then I tried to get
invisibility,
so I took
a chameleon through.
[ BELCHES ] And now
I can lay chameleon eggs.
[ BELCHES ] And then
I tried to get super jump,
so I took a frog through,
and...
Now you can lay...
[ BELCHES ]
[ SQUISH! ]
Uh, yeah. So, uh,
I decided to take something
that couldn't lay eggs,
and ta-da!
[ BELCHES ]
Ah, a laser pointer.
Did it work?
[ BELCHES ]
Sure did.
Check this out.
Laser vision!
Oh, great.
Now I can see exactly where
you're looking.
But maybe you should
focus some of your efforts
on the aesthetic side
of superheroes.
You know, maybe look
a little less like...
[ GROANS ]
...that.
[ BELCHES ]
You're right.
I need to merge with something
that looks super cool.
[ BEEP ]
Okay, wait a minute.
I'm just gonna say
what we're all thinking...
Please do.
Are you gonna finish
that fictional food
that's on your plate?
What?!
No!
Why did you choose to merge
with a cockroach?
Just imagine
what I could do
with the powers of
a nuclear-resistant parasite!
Repel girls
even more?
Oh, I still don't know
what it is.
But I know
what I wish it was...
[ "WAS" ECHOING ]
Whoo!
We're rich!
[ LAUGHTER, CHEERING ]
We never have to worry about
the end of the month again!
I could get a submarine
to school every day!
But there's no water
between here and school.
We'll buy some.
Exactly!
I can finally call myself
"retired" instead of unemployed!
Come on, let's go.
ANAIS: Mom,
where are you taking us?
You see,
such a large amount of cash
is bound to belong
to somebody shady,
and it's very likely
that...
[ TIRES SQUEAL, ALL SCREAM ]
...they'll send someone
to retrieve it.
[ ESPIONAGE MUSIC PLAYS ]
Wait! So now we're on the run
from a hit man?!
Exactly.
[ TIRES SQUEALING ]
[ ENGINE REVS ]
[ ALARM CLANGING ]
[ ALL SCREAMING ]
[ TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS ]
[ KNUCKLES CRACK ]
DARWIN: So now we have to live
every day like it's our last?!
Yes. But isn't that
a good philosophy to have?
Carpe diem!
[ SCREAMS ]
GUMBALL: Run!
[ WIND HOWLS ]
[ ALL PANTING ]
[ RADAR CHIRPING ]
[ BEEP ]
I think I know
how he's tracking us.
I'm sorry.
I'm just so scared.
What the?!
Not that!
There must be some kind of
tracking device in the money.
[ ALL SCREAM ]
[ BEEPING ]
[ ENGINE REVS ]
[ EXPLOSION ]
HENCHMAN: Huh.
My employers
will never give up.
There will be
another man after me,
then another,
and another after that.
You will never find peace.
Yes,
but we're millionaires.
You'll never get back
to your old life.
You'll be hunted.
Hunted millionaires.
You will never be able
to trust anyone.
You'll be fugitives.
Fugitive millionaires.
I agree with Mom
on one thing...
What's inside this box
is clearly evil.
What?
Why?
Because history
has proven
that mysterious containers
always bring misery...
Pandora's Box?
[ GOTHIC CHOIR SINGING ]
The Lost Ark?
[ EPIC MUSIC PLAYS ]
That six-month-old takeout box
at the back of the fridge?
[ DEMONIC SCREAM ]
My point is, what if this box
was never meant to be opened?
What if it was...
[ GROANING ]
It's been seven weeks
since the infection began,
and I still haven't
found a cure.
They've taken over everything.
[ SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE ]
Our infrastructure
has collapsed,
the people are on their own.
Hello! You have reached
the mailbox of
[ZOMBIE GROANING]
Police Station.
All our officers are busy
consuming the flesh
of the living at the moment,
so please take the law
into your own hands.
[ SCREAMING ]
Oh, wait up.
Ah, cool.
[ SCREAMS ]
SCIENTIST:
Most of the population
is now contaminated.
Those that haven't transformed
yet were already zombies anyway.
[ WHIMPERING ]
[ GROANING ]
[ SCREAMS ]
Huh?
[ WATER RUNNING ]
[ GASPS ]
[ LAUGHS ]
[ SCREAMS ]
SCIENTIST:
The world as we know it
is coming to an end.
[ GROWLING ]
Get off, get off,
get off!
Get off, get off,
get off!
If only I had known
how the virus got out,
maybe the infection
could have been prevented.
[ GROANING INTENSIFIES ]
How did it all sta-a-art?!
Ooh!
Squirt gun!
[ JAZZ CUE PLAYS ]
We have to destroy
that box.
I'm sure it's something
perfectly normal.
Exactly.
Like an accordion
made out of bread
or a remote-controlled
trumpet.
Uh, what?
[ QUIXOTIC MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ CELLPHONE RINGS, VIBRATES ]
[ GASPS ]
Yes?
MAN:
[ THROUGH CELLPHONE, ECHOING ]
Lazarus.
Our scientists have
inserted an implant
allowing you to use
the capacities of your brain
at 100%,
making you
the ultimate weapon.
We will now
erase your memory
and place you
under a false identity
until it is time
for your mission.
Your activation code word
is [ECHOING] Lazarus.
[ THROUGH CELLPHONE ]
Your mission
is to save the president.
Please hang up.
This phone will self-destruct
in 10 seconds.
[ TIMER BEEPING ]
[ TIRES SQUEAL ]
[ TIMER BEEPING FASTER ]
Ooh!
[ GRUNTING ]
[ WHIMPERING ]
Mr. President,
are you okay?
I was so scared.
Don't worry.
You're safe now.
[ DREAMY MUSIC PLAYS ]
Uh, hang on.
No offense, Dad.
It sounds cool
that you could use
the full power
of your brain,
but 100% of nothing
is still nothing.
MAN: [ THROUGH CELLPHONE ]
Please hang up.
This phone will self-destruct
in 10 seconds.
No,you hang up.
[ TIMER BEEPING ]
I'm serious.
Please hang up.
[ GIGGLES ]
No, you first.
This is a direct order.
Please hang up!
All right,
we'll do it at the same time.
One... two...
[ SCREAMING ]
[ GRUNTS ]
[ GROWLS ]
Oh.
[ GASPS ] Stop!
[ SMOOCHING ]
Mwah!
Oh!
[ WHIMPERS ]
No, where's...?
Ahem.
We need to get this box
back to the right person!
The president has to be saved...
And kissed!
What if it was just a box?
That would be
a huge letdown.
Think about it...
A cardboard box
could be a spaceship,
a time machine,
♪ A pirate boat
fighting a giant squid ♪
♪ If you look at it
through the eyes of a kid ♪
I said it would be
a huge letdown!
I don't care what's inside it.
I just want the box.
We need to destroy it.
No!
I saw it first!
It's mine!

Have you guys received
a package, by any chance?
I told them to leave it here
if I wasn't home.
[ ALL GASP ]
Oh, uh,
I don't think so.
Eh, never mind.
Wait!
Maybe we opened it
by mistake.
What was inside?
You don't want to know.
Trust me, we really do.
Okay. You know that rough skin
you have on your elbow?
Well, imagine that,
but a bit scalier
and spreading
over your entire
[GROANS] place
that should be soft.
Now, imagine if that
skin also got marinated
in vinegar and microwaved,
and hair somehow got trapped
under a layer of that skin
and the hair kept growing
under this kind of blister
that sort of also filled with
some butter-colored oily matter,
and then it started
sweating...
Kind of like cheese,
but on live meat...
Until it hardened
into a flaking crust.
Well, the box had some cream
in it for that.
You're right.
We didn't want to know.
