Lucy Simian: Class! Time to hand in your homework!

Darwin: What are we going to do? What are we going to do? If we tell her the truth, she'll flip!

Gumball: Be cool, buddy. It'll be fine.

Lucy Simian: [grunts as she takes up Sussie's homework, which is wet with spit] Ugh! At least it's on time.

Darwin: I wasn't built to take this much pressure!

Gumball: Relax, man. We'll just tell her what really happened.

Lucy Simian: All right, you two. What's today's excuse?

Gumball: [clears throat] Our dad ate our homework.

Lucy Simian: [growls angrily, as the shot abruptly transitions to the outside of Miss Simian's room] Go to the guidance counselor immediately! [slams door then opens it up]

Gumball: But, Miss Simian—

Lucy Simian: And don't come back until you've learned how to tell the truth! [slams door again]

Gumball and Darwin groan.

Mister Small​​​: And this is what the inside of a liar looks like.

Gumball & Darwin: Ewwww!

Mister Small​​​: Notice the dark abyss here. That's the corrupt soul of the liar.

Gumball: But, Mr. Small, we're not liars.

Mister Small​​​: [scoffs] You should tell that to the last boy who sat there and lied to me. He's there now.

Darwin: The prison?!

Mister Small​​​: No, next to it.

Gumball: The cemetery! What happened to him?

Mister Small​​​: He just works there.

Gumball and Darwin sigh in relief.

Mister Small​​​: Now, let me show you something.

He rummages around in his cabinet, he takes out a small hat and blows on it.

Mister Small: This is the lying hat. Now, watch what happens when I put it on. Your mother called!

Gumball & Darwin: Oh!

Mister Small​​​: She says she hates you.

Gumball: [gasp, tearfully] She does?

Darwin: [glass breaking] I think my heart just broke.

Mister Small​​​: It's okay, kids. That was a lie.

Gumball and Darwin sigh in relief.

Mister Small​​​: But, you see, that's what a lie will do— hurt your feelings. She hates you.

Gumball & Darwin: Aww.

Mister Small​​​: She loves you.

Gumball & Darwin: Yay!

Mister Small​​​: Hates you!

Gumball & Darwin: Aww.

Mister Small​​​: Loves you.
