INT.

CLASSROOM – DAY

The class muck about, CHATTING nosily. Gumball throws paper

aeroplanes. Darwin leaps from table to table SINGING.

Miss Simian stands at the front next to a fireman, dressed in full

kit, mask, hose and all.

MISS SIMIAN
Attention class! Attention!

The fireman SOAKS the class with the hose. They fall into stunned
SILENCE and scramble into their seats.

Miss Simian smiles coyly at the Fireman.

MISS SIMIAN
(giggles)
Thank you, Mr Fireman. (to the class)
Today is work experience day. As I
call your name, come up the front of
the class to meet your mentor.

Miss Simian consults her clipboard.

Gumball crosses his fingers.

GUMBALL
Please pick me, please pick me!

MISS SIMIAN
Tobias, you’ll be at the fire station
today.

TOBIAS
Yeeessss!
Tobias grins smugly at Gumball and races up to the front of the
class. He high fives the Fireman and they exit.

CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM – DAY

A policeman in aviator shades stands next to Miss Simian. She

looks at her clipboard.

Darwin holds his hand, stretching his arm as high as it will go.

DARWIN
Pick me, pick me!

MISS SIMIAN
Carmen, you’ll be at the police
station.
CARMEN
Oh yeah!

Carmen races up to the front of the class. The policeman smiles at

her.

POLICEMAN
You’ll be riding in the police car
today!

Darwin face plants his desk.

DARWIN
No fair!

CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM – DAY

A juggling clown stands next to Miss Simian, she looks at the

clipboard.
MISS SIMIAN
Banana Joe.

Banana Joe skips up to the front of the class past a fed-up

looking Darwin and Gumball.

INT. CLASSROOM – DAY

A chef in check trousers and hat stands next to Miss Simian with
an armful of chocolate treats.

MISS SIMIAN
Penny, you’ll be spending the day at
the chocolate factory!

GUMBALL
It should’ve been me, man!

Penny throws a look to Gumball and Darwin, before racing up to the

front.

CUT TO:
INT. CLASSROOM – DAY

Darwin and Gumball sit slumped glumly at their desks in the

otherwise empty classroom.

GUMBALL
I hope she saved the best for last.

Miss Simian smiles evilly.

MISS SIMIAN
Oh I have!

Rocky swings round the door holding two dripping mops. He grins.
ROCKY
Hi guys! I’ve got mops!

Gumball and Darwin’s jaws hit their desks.

GUMBALL/DARWIN
Nooooo!

Miss Simian CACKLES with delight.

INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY – DAY

Gumball, Darwin and Rocky mop the floors in the hallway. Gumball
SLOPS the mop out of the bucket and slides it across the floor
leaving a big wet streak.
 GUMBALL
Maaaan, this sucks.

Gumball turns his back as Miss Simian rushes around the corner and
slips on the wet floor, landing with a BANG.

Gumball SIGHS, none the wiser.

INT. SWIMMING POOL – DAY

Gumball and Darwin help Rocky line up the hoses along the edge of
the empty swimming pool.

DARWIN
Rocky, did you always want to be a
janitor?

ROCKY
No man, I was in a band, ‘Death by
Death’. We were like totally famous.

GUMBALL
Wait, you were in a band? No way!

Rocky turns on the taps. The water GUSHES out into the swimming
pool.

ROCKY
Totally. We rocked around the world
in the 80s.
DARWIN
Woooahhh! That’s like a million
years ago!

GUMBALL
Can we hear some of your music?

ROCKY
Yeah, I have a tape in the broom
cupboard! Let’s rock!

Gumball and Darwin high five. They follow Rocky out of the swimming
pool. The taps still GUSHING.

INT. BROOM CUPBOARD – DAY

The room is cluttered with mops, buckets, brooms and cleaning
products.
Heavy metal MUSIC blasts from a stereo balanced on top of barrel
of bleach.

Rocky, Darwin and Gumball headbang to the music, busting out their
craziest air guitar moves.

GUMBALL
This is awesome!

DARWIN
(death metal voice)
Rooooock!

The track stops.

ROCKY
Well, we should get back to work.

Rocky switches off the stereo. Gumball and Darwin SIGH.

EXT. SWIMMING POOL – DAY

Gumball and Darwin glumly follow after Rocky as he walks round the
corner of the swimming pool.

No one notices that the building is heaving at the sides, a trickle

of water pours out from the window. The entire room is filled with
water!

ROCKY
Being a janitor is almost as good as
being in a band though.

Gumball and Darwin look at each other and shake their heads
doubtfully.

The door of the swimming pool bends with the weight of the water
behind it, water TRICKLES out.

ROCKY
Hmm, what’s wrong with the door...

Gumball opens the door of the swimming pool. A tidal wave of water
GUSHES out.
 DARWIN
Woooohooo!

Darwin speeds by on the crest of the wave. Gumball leaps on too!

GUMBALL
Oh yeaaaah!

INT. SCHOOL – DAY

The water GUSHES through the corridors like a tidal wave. Gumball
and Darwin CHEER as they ride the wave.

INT. CLASSROOM – DAY

Miss Simian holds a brand new dress up against her wiry frame and
admires herself in the mirror.

MISS SIMIAN
Looking good! This new dress will
impress Mr Fireman!

We can hear the water GUSHING through the corridors.

The door BURSTS open. The water POURS in.

MISS SIMIAN
Huh?

Miss Simian is scooped up onto the crest of a wave.

MISS SIMIAN
Wooooahhh!

The wave bursts through the window of the classroom and Miss
Simian disappears into the distance!

EXT. SCHOOL YARD – DAY

The wave deposits Miss Simian by the school gates in a puddle of

mud. She is completely drenched and absolutely furious!

MISS SIMIAN
My new dress!

Gumball and Darwin SPLOOSH across the yard on the tail end of the
wave.

DARWIN
(signing)
Everybody’s gone surfing, surfing
Elmore High!

GUMBALL
That was awesome! I love being a
janitor.

The wave deposits them at Miss Simian’s feet.

Miss Simian glares at Gumball and Darwin, water runs in rivulets

down her face and dress.

Gumball and Darwin’s faces fall.

DARWIN
Uh-oh!

MISS SIMIAN
Gumball! Darwin! Detention! For a
month!

GUMBALL/DARWIN
No fair!

GUMBALL
Maaaan, I hate being a janitor!

Gumball and Darwin scowl.
