TOGETHER:
We want food! We want food!
MOM: It was a day
like any other,
by which I mean just
as terrible as the rest.
All I wanted for us to behave
like a normal, civilized family
at meal times.
I might as well have wished
for it to rain pancakes.
And not just the ones the kids
made for breakfast.
We want food!
We want...
Kids, please!
It needs to be way louder
to have any effect.
We want food!
We want food!
Is that really necessary?
But you work better
under pressure.
Anyway, I helped.
You were supposed
to salt the potatoes,
boil the carrots,
and tenderize the meat.
But instead...
It's okay if it's not
perfect, honey.
It's just nice to eat
together for once.
[ GRUMBLES ]
[ SNIFFING ]
KIDS: We want food!
Hmm.
Something's burning.
[ SIZZLING ]
Oh, it's just your eyes
burning a hole
in the back of my head.
Well, scratch that.
It's your pot catching fire
because I distracted you.
[ SMOKE ALARM BEEPING ]
[ GASPS ]
Don't panic!
In case of fire, you should
stop, drop, and roll!
Okay!
What the...?
Somebody get a blanket!
Leave it to me!
[ GLASS SHATTERS ]
Gumball,
grab the tablecloth.
[ BEEPING CONTINUES ]
It's getting worse!
[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]
I got this!
[ ALL GASP ]
[ GROWLS ]
That was the moment
I asked myself,
"How did it come to this?
Where did I go wrong?"
That's it.
It was the day I met him.
I was on the way to the
tournament with Mom and Dad.
Nicole, we need to talk
about your report card.
But I got straight A's.
Not here... Gender.
Uh, yeah,
that's because I'm female.
Being a girl
is not an excuse.
[ HORNS BLARING ]
What is it
with this traffic?!
Aah!
[ HORN BLARES ]
Dad!
Now what am I gonna do?
How much time have I got?
54,321 minutes
until your graduation.
374,582 minutes until you get
your diploma from law school.
And 754,471 minutes
until you marry a doctor.
I mean before
the tournament!
Five minutes.
You'll make it if you run.
[ GASPS ]
And remember...
I know. I know.
I love you, too.
No, I was gonna say second place
is first place for losers,
but, yeah, that too.
Uh, uh [GROANS]
[ GASPS ]
[ GRUNTS ]
[ GASPS ]
Well, it took all day,
but I got the job done.
[ SIGHS ]
Hey, do you want to hear
my song?
Wait, you didn't answer my...
Oh.
Hey, girl,
you don't have to run.
I ain't going nowhere.
Mother nature is my doctor.
Prescription hugs!
Prescription hugs!
Hey, a moment of your time?
[ GROANING ]
Hey, you need a ride?
[ GRUNTS ]
Then I realized I was lost.
Huh?
YOUNG RICHARD:
Uh, hello?
And that's when I saw him.
A little help, please.
[ CHUCKLES ]
That was the moment.
But what if I hadn't
turned right?
Where would I be now?
Well, it took all day...
Hajime!
[ SCREAMING ]
Thank heavens she's gone.
Okay, I'll try not to dwell
on what that says about me.
Maybe I should have listened
to Banana Bob's song.
Hey, do you want
to hear my song?
Okay.

Nicole? Are you okay?

Ba-na-na-na-na!
Ohh, banana-not.
Banana-na.
Ohh. Better not.
[ ZOOM! ]
But what about Harold?
Hey, girl,
you don't have to run.
Okay, what do you want?
Have you lost weight?
Your head looks bigger.
What?
Nothing.
I just wanted to say I like
girls with really short legs.
What?
What's wrong with my legs?
Wait, are you doing
that creepy thing
where guys criticize girls
to lower their confidence
so they'll go out
with them?
Your way too intelligent
for that kind of trick.
Your parents
don't love you.
[ WEDDING MARCH PLAYS ]
You look better
with the veil on.
Hey!
So, how do you
like the sushi?
I-It took me hours.
It's cold.
Let me heat it up
for you.
Is that hot enough for you?!
Is it?!
Is it hot enough?!
Is it hot enough for you?!
Mm, almost worth it.
Hey... Aah!
Prescription hugs!
Prescription hugs!
Hey, there.
[ SCREECH! ]
Have you ever considered
using the power of hugs
as an alternative
to modern medicine?
Hmm.
[ BACH'S "TOCATTA AND FUGUE
IN D MINOR" PLAYS ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
Uh, makes sense.
The hugs would only transmit
diseases faster.
Hey, a moment
of your time?
[ GRUNTING AND GROANING ]
Wait, they say a single flap
of a butterfly's wing
can cause a hurricane on
the other side of the world.
So what would have happened
if I'd never stepped on...
[ CHOKING ]
Don't worry!
A hug will cure you!
[ BACH'S "TOCATTA AND FUGUE
IN D MINOR" PLAYS ]
[ THUNDER CRASHES ]
Ohh, whatever.
They only live
for a day anyway.
[ BUTTERFLY WHIMPERS ]
Hey, you need a ride?
No...
Oh, wait, I do, actually.
Uh, you got
a spare helmet?
You don't need a helmet
when you're cool.
[ BACH'S "TOCATTA AND FUGUE
IN D MINOR" PLAYS ]
I'm gonna have to
write the mayor
about how dangerous
this park is.
[ GRUNTS ]
[ PANTING ]
YOUNG RICHARD:
Uh, hello?
A little help, please.
[ ECHOING ] I'm Richard.
I guess there was
no other way around it.
[ CHUCKLES ]
Nicole.
I know.
So... how?
Well, I was feeding
a squirrel some nuts.
[ CHUCKLES ]
To see where he hides
all his nuts.
Okay.
And it worked
a little too well.
Okay, don't move.
Aah!
Aah! No, no, no, no,
please!
[ CHUCKLES ] Okay.
I've got to run now.
Why?
To compete.
Why?
'Cause I have to fight.
Why?
Because I have
to be the best.
Why?
So people will like me?
But lots of people
already like you.
[ SCOFFS ] Really?
Like who?
[ BELL CHIMING ]
[ GASPS ]
It's 2:00 already!
I'm too late!
Ohh!
I've got to go home
empty-handed.
Not quite empty-handed.
You have... a nut.
[ SNIFFLES ]
Huh?
Half a nut?
[ CHUCKLES ]
[ CRUNCH! ]
[ CRUNCH! ]
Hmm.
What would you do
if you were me?
If I had done everything
you've done?
Sleep till I'm 40.
[ CHUCKLES ]
I mean, what should I do
with my life?
Hmm.
Maybe start living it.
