The Doppelgänger/Transcript

## Sighting

*[Gumball and Darwin are watching TV. Gumball changes the channel and the news comes on.]*

**Kip**: We interrupt this episode introduction with ***breaking news!*** A man has robbed a television outlet!

**Richard**: *[walks in. He kneels and throws his head up in the air]* No! Those poor TVs!

**Kip**: The police asked witnesses to provide a description of the thief. Here is the police sketch.

*[The sketch is revealed to be a picture of Rob]*

**Gumball** and **Darwin**: *[Gasp loudly]*

**Gumball**: What the *WHAT?!*

**Darwin**: Why would he do such a thing?

**Gumball**: I don't know, but we have to get to the bottom of this!

*[Gumball and Darwin run into the hotel Rob has been living in. They rush in and run up to the receptionist's desk]*

**Meghan**: Welcome to Hotel Sacatètè! My name is Meghan. Do you already have a roo-

**Gumball**: *[frantically]* *HI, DO YOU KNOW WHICH ROOM ROB IS IN?!*

**Meghan**: Hmm.. Rob... *[looks for a matching search on her computer]* Last name?

**Gumball**: *Ugh!* Just give us the list of Robs!

*[Meghan hands them the Gumball and Darwin read the first name on the list, "Rob R." Gumball and Darwin open the door, and a live-action person is in there with a small crew, talking into a microphone]*

**Rob R.**: For years, I have been igno- *[sees the boys and pauses]* Uh...?

**Gumball**: Sorry, wrong room.

*[Gumball and Darwin look through many rooms.]*

**Rocky**: Hey!

**Gumball**: Sorry.

**Bobert**: What the...?

**Darwin**: Sorry, dude.

**Banana Bob**: HEY!

**Gumball** and **Darwin**: SORRY!

*[They come across the last name. Darwin opens the door, and Rob is in there peeling an orange]*

**R****ob**​: Gumball? Darwin? What are you-

**Darwin**: ***Dude!*** Have you watched the news?!

**R****ob**​: Who watches the news these days?

**Darwin**: Mm, fair point. Just watch this!

*[Gumball pulls out a remote and changes Rob's static to the news channel. After a few minutes Rob's confused expression grows into a worried expression]*

**R****ob**: So what do we do?

**Gumball**: We're going to clear your name, stop this poseur, and return the stolen TVs!

## Escaping the Police

*[The Doughnut Sheriff pounds on the door]*

**Doughnut Sheriff**: Police! Open up! We've got a warrant!

**Darwin**: What're we gonna do?

**R****ob**: Hang on. I have an idea.

*[Rob takes sausage links out of his minibar. He opens a window and throws one end out the window. The links drop three stories and hit the ground. The trio slide down the links. They take the links and run into Gumball and Darwin's house]*

**Richard**: Hey kids. And Rob. *[notices the links]* Are those... SAUSAGE LINKS?!

**Gumball**: Oh, we'll give them to you... **if** you can drive us to the television outlet.

**Richard**: YES! ANYTHING FOR SAUSAGE LINKS!

*[They all get into the car. Gumball is in the passenger seat. He opens the glove box, takes out a cable and closes it. Soon, Richard makes it to the outlet. Gumball throws him the sausage links and the trio climb out of the car. They enter the police-infested outlet and sneak over to a surveillance camera. Without the police looking, Darwin plugs one end of the cable into Rob, and plugs the other into a camera. After a few seconds the unplug the cable and leave. They get in the car and go back to Gumball and Darwin's house.]*

**Gumball**: Now let's watch the surveillance video.

*[Suddenly, the Doughnut Sheriff pounds on the door.]*

**Doughnut Sheriff**: Police! We'd like to ask you a few questions.

**Gumball**: *[whispers to Rob]* He's looking for you! Hide!

*[Gumball pushes Rob into the basement, closes it, and opens the door]*

**Darwin**: Hello, officer.

**Doughnut Sheriff**: Hello, kids. May I speak to the man of the house?

**Richard**: *[off-screen]* Uh, kids, have you seen the bathroom anywhere?

**Gumball**: *[sighs]* That's me.

*[Meanwhile, Rob is waiting in the basement. He looks around his former home, and notices a peculiar object: a lever in the wall. He pulls it, and a portal opens. He gasps. Cuts back to Gumball, Darwin, and the Doughnut Sheriff.]*

**Doughnut Sheriff**: Do you know anything about the robbery on Pen Street?

**Gumball**: *[playing dumb]* What robbery? Oh, you mean the one on the news!

**Doughnut Sheriff**: Yes. What do you know about it?

**Darwin**: Well, it was a robbery, so someone stole something, right?

*[Cuts back to Rob. He peeks his head through the portal and notices something. He pulls his head out with a shocked expression on his face. He pulls the lever again so that the portal closes. Cuts back to Gumball, Darwin, and an annoyed Doughnut Sheriff]*

**Doughnut Sheriff**: Okay, I'm going to find your father!

*[The Doughnut Sheriff storms his way upstairs. He busts into Gumball and Darwin's bedroom, and sees Richard tied up in shoelaces]*

**Richard**: I was trying to tie my shoes, and I got confused.

**Doughnut Sheriff**: ...I'm gonna... go now.

*[The Doughnut Sheriff leaves. Gumball and Darwin open the basement door and Rob climbs out, frightened.]*

**Gumball**: We chased him off!

**R****ob**: *[worried]* Guys, you need to see this.

## Catching the Culprit

*[Rob takes the boys down to the basement]*

**R****ob**: Pull the lever, Darwin.

*[Darwin pulls the lever. The portal appears, and Rob steps through. Gumball and Darwin follow. They gasp. It is revealed that the portal takes them to the place the stolen TVs are held]*

**Gumball**: The TVs! We found them!

**Darwin**: But who stole them?

*[A man laughs from in the shadows. He steps out, and the man is revealed to be a doppelgänger of Rob. Gumball, Darwin, and Rob are shocked]*

**Gumball**: Who- Who are you?

**Rob Do****ppelgänger**: Me? Why I'm Rob.

**R****ob**: He's not Rob, I am!

**Rob Do****ppelgänger**: ...Or are you? We look and sound exactly the same, so how do you know who's who?

*[Gumball and Darwin squint suspiciously at the two Robs. The boys poke the Robs and rotate around them. Gumball and Darwin look at each other and think of something. They walk up to the real Rob]*

**Gumball**: You! What hotel are you staying in?

**R****ob**: Sacatètè, why?

**Darwin**: Okay... *[points at the Rob doppelgänger]* You! What hotel are you staying in?

**R****ob**: You shouldn't ask him the same question!

*[the trio begin arguing. The Rob doppelgänger sneaks away.]*

**Gumball**: Aaaw, he got away!

*[They climb out of the portal]*

## The Ultimate Static Battle

**Gumball**: Ugh, we failed!

**R****ob**: At least we found the TVs, right? We can let him-

**Darwin**: *[confident]* He might've gotten away, but we cannot give up! *[He stands on a box of items]* Justice shall be served, and now that we know where to go and what to do, we CANNOT fail! This mystery will be solved! We will stop this poseur, retrieve the stolen TVs, and bring justice to Vallejo-I mean Elmore!

**Gumball** and **R****ob**: YEAH!!!

*[They rush to the police station. The Doughnut Sheriff points his taser at them]*

**Doughnut Sheriff**: FREEZE!

**Darwin**: Officer, before you arrest him, please come with us.

*[The trio, now with the Doughnut Sheriff, get back to the house. They show him the security tapes. They continue watching until the burglar turns his back to the tape. Gumball pauses the video]*

**Gumball**: See? *[points at the burglar's backside]* The burglar doesn't have a pig tail, but Rob does! *[shows the Doughnut Sheriff]*

**Doughnut Sheriff**: Then who is it?

**R****ob**: Come. We'll show you.

*[the trio takes him down to the basement and Darwin opens the portal. Large crashing is heard through the portal, followed by evil laughter. The Doughnut Sheriff busts through the portal, followed by the trio]*

**Doughnut Sheriff**: Freeze! What the...

*[The Rob doppelgänger has a remote wired to all of the TVs]*

**Rob Do****ppelgänger**: You're too late, *heroes*.

*[The Rob Doppelgänger turns on the TVs. The static from the TVs goes into him, and he starts growing. He turns into a giant. He breaks the roof of the hideout he was hiding in. He throws the Doughnut Sheriff out of it and he lands on a hospital bed.]*

**Meghan**: Elmore hospital, how may I help you?

**Doughnut Sheriff**: *[groans]*

*[Gumball, Darwin, and Rob run onto the roof]*

**Darwin**: What do we do?

**Gumball**: We take it on, hand to hand.

*[The trio run toward the static monster, but the latter swipes them onto the ground floor, each landing with a grunt of pain. Rob gets an idea and grabs the remote]*

**Gumball**: Rob, what are you doing?

**R****ob**: Saving Vallejo-I mean Elmore! You two, get on my shoulders.

*[as ordered, they get on his shoulders, much to the pain of Rob. Rob turns the remote on, and makes himself the same size as the Rob doppelgänger. Meanwhile, the static monster busts through a sausage links factory called "Wild Dogs." Back at home, Richard, who is still tied up, smells the sausages. Giant Rob confronts the static monster, while Gumball and Darwin watch from his shoulders]*

**R****ob**: Stop, you static monster!

**Rob Do****ppelgänger**: I won't stop until I've enslaved the universe!

*[Darwin gets an idea. He whispers his idea to Gumball, and they both get into Rob's hair]*

**Gumball**: Don't worry, Rob! We'll attack for you!

*[Gumball takes a bunch of hair and pulls it. This causes Rob to hit the monster in the face]*

**R****ob**: Oh, *I* see what you're doing! Gumball, make me kick him!

**Gumball**: You got it, Mr. Spaghetti!

*[Gumball pulls more strands, causing Rob to kick the monster in the jaw]*

**Rob Do****ppelgänger**: *[distorted]* Ow! You will pay for this!

*[they continue fighting. Meanwhile, Richard breaks out of the laces and rushes out of the house. Soon, Gumball and Darwin make Rob slap his distorted doppelgänger. The Rob doppelgänger stumbles and turns around, exposing an area on his chest that is jammed closed with a cork. Gumball and Darwin notice this cork and turn to each other]*

**Gumball**: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

**Darwin**: Let's do it!

*[Gumball positions Rob so he has his hand on the Rob doppelgänger while punching him repeatedly with the other. Meanwhile, Darwin runs across Rob's arm that is not punching, and jumps onto the cork. He starts pulling it out]*

**Rob Do****ppelgänger**: What are you doing?!

*[Darwin keeps pulling the cork out. The Rob doppelgänger starts trying to shake him off. Darwin loses his balance and nearly falls. Gumball and Rob watch in horror]*

**Gumball** and **R****ob**: DARWIN!!!

*[Darwin manages to get back on his feet]*

**Gumball** and **R****ob**: Phew!

**Rob Do****ppelgänger**: I will NOT let you do this! *[pushes Rob off of him. He starts trying to pull Darwin off of him]*

*[Gumball jumps from Rob to the Rob doppelgänger's head as Rob falls over. He starts controlling the Rob doppelgänger the same way he did for Rob. Gumball makes him pull Darwin off of the cork and set him next to Gumball]*

**Darwin**: Pull it out!

*[Gumball struggles to pull it out. Suddenly, Rob gets up and pulls the cork out himself]*

**Gumball**: Well, that was easier than I expected.

**Rob Do****ppelgänger**: *NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!* *[he takes a few steps back and starts falling over backwards into the **Wild Dogs** factory]*

**Gumball**: ***JUMP!!!***

*[They jump onto Rob as his doppelgänger counterpart falls into the factory. The static drains from the Rob doppelgänger's body and he lay defeated against the factory's wall. Rob shrinks down to his usual size. Angry and confused, the trio confront the Rob doppelgänger, with Rob in front. Sausages fall on the Rob doppelgänger]*

**R****ob**: Who are you? Why are you doing this?

**Rob Do****ppelgänger**: *[blows away like sand as he sort of-disintegrates]* Heh heh heh...

**R****ob**: Who was that?

**Gumball**: I don't know, but we defeated him, so I guess this is over?...

**French Fry Officer**: FREEZE!

*[Three French Fry officers stand behind them with their tasers out. The trio put their hands up and turn around]*

**French Fry Officer**: You're under arrest for-

*[Richard appears behind the officers and eats them]*

**Gumball** and **Darwin**: Dad!

**Darwin**: I guess all of the loose ends are tied up!

**R****ob**: But what about the factory?

**Richard**: I'll take care of that for you.

*[He eats the entire factory. The trio are shocked]*

**Richard**: There you go.

*[The trio stay shocked as Richard eats more sausages. Episode ends]*
