The Crush/Transcript

## At the Mall

*[Rob and Gumball are walking through the mall, having a super important discussion]*

**Gumball**: All I'm saying is, it doesn't make sense to buy binoculars if you're not going to be able to use them.

**R****ob**​​​: I could just rip half of them off, it'll still work.

*[Rob gasps and hides behind a decorative plant]*

**Gumball**: What? What do you see?

**R****ob**​​​: *[Whispering]* Shh! It's... Molly. *[He points to the sauropod by the fountain]*

**Gumball**: Molly? What's wrong with her?

*[Molly, noticing Gumball, waves and runs over]*

**Molly**: Hey, Gumball!

*[Rob yelps and sinks lower behind the plant]*

**Gumball**: Oh, hey, Molly.

**Molly**: What are you doing here?

**Gumball**: Me and Rob are just hanging out. Uh, do you... *remember* Rob, by any chance?

**Molly**: Yeah, of course I do. Where is he? I haven't seen him in ages.

**Gumball**: He's right⁠— *[Rob punches his arm]* OW! Heh, I-I mean, he's... in the... la-laboratory.

**Molly**: *[Raises an eyebrow]* Do you mean lavatory?

**Gumball**: ...Y-Yes?

*[Molly stares at him suspiciously before smiling]*

**Molly**: Okay! Tell him I said hi!

*[Once she leaves, Gumball sighs in relief. An annoyed Rob stands up]*

**R****ob**​​: What is your problem?! Why did you tell her I was here?! That was the whole point of me hiding! *[Pauses]* Wait... She remembers me... *[His static darkens]*

**Gumball**: Ooh! Does somebody have a crush?

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​: I do not have a crush on her! *[Quietly]* I... I love her.

**Gumball**: *[Smacks his lips]* Yep, can definitely taste the cheese. If you love her so much, why do you act like you're scared of her?

**R****ob**​​​​​: I haven't talked to her since we were sent to the Void. She hasn't seen me like this. *[Rubs his arms]* I don't know what she'll say...

**Gumball**: Don't worry, Rob. Penny and I will help you!

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​: You will?

**Gumball**: Of course! Since we're already in a relationship, we can show you how it's done.

## Idroppedmypen's version of the scene "At the Mall" (except they're not even at the mall, they're at the park because why not)

*[Gumball and Rob are walking in the park]*

**Gumball**: Like, how does it even make sense to multiply two positives and get a positive, then multiply two negatives and also get a positive?

**R****ob**​​​​​​: *[rolling his eye]* Gumball, for the millionth time, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

**Gumball**: Who knows? You could be hiding something from me.

**R****ob**​​​​​​: What?! Why would I... *[his voice trails off as he spots Molly. He suddenly grabs Gumball by his sweater collar]* Heheheh, why don't we take a *different* trail today?

**Gumball**: Rob, what are you-

*[Rob runs through the trail, dodging and passing hikers. Gumball screams as he hits trees repeatedly. Rob takes a sharp turn around a corner and sets Gumball down, then peeks around the corner to see if Molly noticed him]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​: Sorry about tha-

**Gumball**: WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!

**R****ob**​​​​​​: Nothing, nothing at all!

**Gumball**: *[a smug smile forms on his face]* Wait, are you *blushing?*

**R****ob**​​​​​​: Uh, no. Definitely not blushing!

**Gumball**: *[his smile gets even more smug]* I think you *are* blushing...

**R****ob**​​​​​: N- No. Why would I be...

**Molly**: *[coming around the corner, talking to Sarah]* And then I say, "That's kind of gay, Gerald," and he looks at me like.. *[her voice trails off as she sees Rob]* Oh, hi! You must be new here. My name is Molly! What's yours?

*[Rob grabs Gumball again and dives into the porta-potty]*

**Molly**: *[She giggles]* Oh, okay. Bye! *[she turns to Sarah and continues her story]*

**Gumball**: Oh, I see what's happening. You have a crush on Molly, but you can't tell her because she doesn't recognize you after you were disfigured by the Void!

**R****ob**​​​​​: *[he sighs]* Fine. I give up. I... *[through his teeth]* ...have a crush on Molly.

**Gumball**: Well, you're going to need some help, and I know *just* the people who are gonna give it to you.

## Learning How to Love Again

*[Rob, Gumball, and Penny are in Gumball's room. Rob is sitting on the desk chair]*

**Penny**: Okay, Rob, in order to help you, you first have to understand what it is about Molly that you love. What's one thing you can think of?

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​: Her stories.

*[Penny opens her mouth to speak, but stops herself and gives him a confused look. After a moment, she shrugs]*

**Penny**: Okay, anything else?

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​: She, well... She always listens. She's so understanding, and... *[he sighs]* she's just an amazing person.

*[Penny smiles]*

**Gumball**: Wait, but, don't you find her boring?

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​: Boring? Well, no. I think she's really interesting.

**Gumball**: But why?

**R****ob**​​​​​​​: Well, sometimes she has these really weird dreams, like there was one where she eats a volcano in Switzerland.

**Gumball**: Wow. You'd have to be as boring as a rock at a knitting circle to not think Molly is.

**Penny**: Gumball!

**Gumball**: What?

**Penny**: You shouldn't say things like that. What if someone said that about us?

**Gumball**: I would say "that's ridiculous..."

**Penny**: Good.

**Gumball**: "Penny's not *half* as boring as Molly!"

*[Penny growls under her breath]*

**R****ob**​​​​: She became boring over time, as people started to forget about her. Then when she escaped the Void, everyone realized just how boring she had become. But I still like her.

*[Gumball and Penny exchange looks. They look at Rob and think for a minute]*

**R****ob**​: So how are you going to help me?

**Penny**: *[inhales deeply]* I got nothing.

**Gumball**: Same. We're just gonna have to go find help somewhere else.

*[Scene changes to a computer in the library]*
