A Breaking Point/Transcript

## A Fateful Mistake

*[The episode opens in the mall with Penny severely injuring Gumball. Penny is extremely mad at him and is in her dragon form]*

**Penny**: GUMBALL!

**Gumball**: Penny, stop!

*[Just as Penny (in her dragon form) is about to finish him off, she looks at Gumball. He whimpers in pain and fear, shielding himself with his arm. As Penny ceases her attack, Gumball slowly removes his arm from his face, revealing a large gash over his left eye where she had attacked him with her claws. Gumball has a look of pure fear on his face as his eyes meet Penny's, who are stricken with grief at what she had done to him. Penny assumes her normal form, her hands over her mouth as she looks at him in horror]*

**Penny**: I- I'm so sorry..!

*[Gumball doesn't say anything; he's too scared. Rob walks by with holding bags. Upon seeing what happened, he drops them]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​: *[Running over to Gumball, horrified]* Gumball! What happened? *[he kneels down next to him and examines his injuries. He pauses at the large gash over Gumball's left eye and runs his hand over it. Gumball winces in pain, and Rob looks at his hand to see a little blood. He looks up at Penny]* Did you do this?!

**Penny**: I-It was an accident! I didn't mean to! I...

**R****ob**​​​​​​: *[Shouting]* Do you realize what you could've done?! You could've killed him!

**Penny**: Rob, I...

**R****ob**​​​​​​: *[Normal volume, but stern]* Penny, you *have* to learn to control your powers.

**Penny**: I know, it's just.. it's just so hard.. *[She looks at Gumball, who is trying to stand up, but stumbles and falls backwards. She notices a red patch on his sleeve, which he is holding over his lower torso. Gumball tries to stand again, and Rob keeps him steady. Gumball sort of "falls" into Rob]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​: *[to Gumball, stroking his head]* I'll call your mom and ask her to pick you up. *[Gumball nods as Rob takes out his phone. One phone call later, Rob hangs up]*

**R****ob**​​​​​: She says she'll be here in ten minutes. *[Gumball nods again, and sort of slumps over and falls asleep. Rob gently lays him down. Penny kneels down beside him]*

**Penny**: *[Touches his face and softly says]* I'm sorry, Gumball. It wasn't your fault. I should've learned to control myself by now.

**R****ob**​​​​: So... what happened?

**Penny**: *[Sighs]* I was having a bad day, and we got into a small argument. It was something pointless, I just lashed out at him and...

*[Rob places a polygonal hand on her shoulder]*

**R****ob**​​​​: I'm going to find a way to help you.

*[Penny smiles sadly. A few minutes later, Nicole's car drives up to wherever this scene takes place. As soon as she opens the door to get out, Penny quickly transforms into a flying squirrel and "flies" away, ashamed of what she has done and not wanting to interact with her. Nicole gasps and runs over to her son, who is still unconscious]*

**Nicole**: Oh my gosh, what happened to him??

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​​: Penny attacked him.

**Nicole**: Penny? Why would she do this to Gumball?

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​​: Well, Penny told me they had a small argument, and she lost control of her emotions.

**Nicole**: *[She sighs sadly]* It happens to all of us. Now, let's hurry and get him to the hospital. *[She picks Gumball up, who is somewhat awake]*

**Gumball**: *[Groggily]* ...Mom? *[He tries to move, but flinches in pain]* Ow..!

*[Nicole walks back to the car and lies Gumball down in the back seats. She plants a small kiss on his forehead and closes the car door. Rob watches as they drive off into the distance. Penny suddenly flies into view]*

**Penny**: Are they gone? *[Rob nods]*

## He Hates Me

*[At the hospital, Penny and Rob are in the waiting room]*

**Penny**: Oh, what was I thinking? Did you see how scared Gumball was? He must hate me now...

**R****ob**​​​​​: Are you serious? Penny, there's no way that'd happen.

**Penny**: But, I hurt him. He didn't deserve to be treated like that just because I have... issues.

*[Rob gently grasps her shoulders]*

**R****ob**​​​​​: Listen to me. Gumball adores you. He's practically dedicated his life to you. He would never stop loving you because he knows you would never *mean* to hurt him.

**Penny**: *[she smiles sadly]* Thanks, Rob.

**R****ob**​​​​​: For what?

**Penny**: For everything. Listening to me, understanding me... You're just a good friend.

**R****ob**​​​​​: Really? *I'm* a good friend?

**Penny**: Yeah, of course.

**R****ob**​​​​: *[Smiles slowly]* Thanks.

*[The nurse comes through the door]*

**Meghan**: Well, the good news is he's in a stable condition.

*[Penny and Rob gasp hopefully]*

**Meghan**: The bad news is that he's lost a sizable amount of blood due to his injuries, and it may take him many weeks to recover.

**Penny**: Oh no...

**R****ob**​​​: ...Can we see him?

**Meghan**: Yes, but only for a few minutes.

*[Penny and Rob enter Gumball's room and head to his bedside where Nicole is petting his head. Gumball is unconscious. Penny gasps upon seeing the red-stained bandages covering his left eye and stomach]*

**Penny**: Oh no... Gumball...

*[Rob puts his polygonal hand on her shoulder, yet he is also looking at Gumball]*

**Nicole**: Penny, I just hope you know, I'm not mad at you.

*[Penny nods, faint tears in her eyes]*

**Penny**: *[Holds his motionless hand and whispers]* Gumball.. I'm- I'm so sorry... *[she kisses his cheek and walks away]*

## Anger Management

*[Rob and Penny leave the hospital]*

**R****ob**​​: *[he fidgets with his hands nervously]* So, I was thinking... you might need some, y'know... *therapy.*

**Penny**: Therapy?

**R****ob**​​: U- Uh, yeah. *[he hands Penny a small card]*

**Penny**: *[She looks at it]* Anger management classes?

**R****ob**​​: *[Flinches]* Don't kill me..!

**Penny**: *[Sighs]* It'll be good for me.

*[Soon, Penny arrives at Elmore Junior High, where the anger management class is held in Mr. Small's office]*

**M****ister Small**​: Penny? What are you doing here?

**Penny**: *[sighs]* I lost control of my anger and seriously injured Gumball.

**M****ister Small**: Hmm. Weird. Maybe you need a personal counselor. Let me call in Morf. Morf!

*[Morf walks in]*

**M****orf**: Eey!

*[Mr. Small looks at Penny. Penny is annoyed with Morf and looks like she wants to hit him]*

**M****ister Small**: *[he chuckles sheepishly, trying to be optimistic]* This may take a while.

## How Penny REALLY Lost Control

*[The scene cuts to an outside sanctuary. Penny and Rob are sitting on big rocks, while Morf is sitting on a stump]*
