There it is!
I'm coming for ya, SquarePants.
Thank Neptune that's over.
Uh-oh.
SpongeBob!
Why must you always ruin my plans?
Plankton! You're trying to steal the Krabby Patty recipe again.
Uh, I… didn't…
OK, fine. You caught me. You happy now?
You know, this reminds me of the time
Mr. Krabs confided in me the Krabby Patty recipe.
Oh, I don't wanna bore you with my silly old stories.
Oh, you couldn't possibly bore me.
Well, OK. Mr. Krabs called me into his office…
SpongeBob, you've been working here for a while now,
so I think I can trust you.
It's time I told you.
Oh! You mean…
Yes, the Krabby Patty formula.
Follow me, son. We need to go where no-one will ever hear us.
We finally made it.
Quick! Into me office before anyone sees us!
What? You went in a circle.
Why didn't you stay in the Krusty Krab?
We wanted to make sure we weren't followed.
Then Mr. Krabs leaned close and whispered the recipe.
Yes? Go on.
Now, remember, you can never tell another living soul.
- Wait, wait! Hold on! - What's that?
My pen is out of ink.
- OK, OK, go ahead. - Plankton!
You'll never get me formula, not even in a flashback.
SpongeBob, if you had never come to Bikini Bottom,
this wouldn't be happening.
Squidward, what's with the creepy smile?
I was just… remembering the world before SpongeBob.
Morning, Squidward!
Ah.
Good morning, not-SpongeBob.
But, Squidward, you're glad I moved in. Remember that day?
Uh-uh. Nah. No.
OK, well, that's every available house in Bikini Bottom.
My secret garden is finally done.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that one.
It's beautiful. I'll take it!
Hi, neighbor! I'm SpongeBob SquarePants.
And we're going to be bestest friends.
Hey, Patrick. Guess who just moved in right next door?
Neighbor hug!
We want Krabby Patties!
What's that sound?
Customers.
We want Krabby Patties! We want to spend money!
- What do we want? - Krabby Patties!
- What do we welcome? - To spend money!
Oh, no!
All that loose change out there
is driving me wallet mad with money lust!
Poor little guy's starving.
There you go, boy. You're free.
Go towards the money, boy. Towards the money!
Hey, a wallet.
And there's 50 bucks in it! All right!
Hey! Oh, no!
What am I gonna do?
We gotta get out of here. Now!
Oh. If only Sandy was here. She could help us.
Oh! Maybe we can use this.
I borrowed it from Sandy's tree-dome.
It might be our way out of here. Shh! Everybody quiet!
Hey, Sandy, I got your radio!
If you want it back, come and get it!
She'll come.
Oh, give me that!
Sandy. Come in, Sandy.
Sandy Cheeks here.
So it was you who stole my other radio, Squidward.
What? No, I'm just…
Sandy's trapped in that box!
Sandy?
Remember the day Sandy and I got married?
What?
- No. - I'm freaking out!
Mm-hm.
Friends, we have gathered here today
to join these two hearts in the bonds of love.
SpongeBob, do you take Sandy as your lawfully wedded wife?
I do.
And Sandy, do you take SpongeBob as your lawfully wedded husband?
And how!
Well, then, I now pronounce you sponge and squirrel.
You may kiss the bride.
Boo! You stink!
Worst play I've ever seen!
And a total rip-off!
Can't watch this happen to the theatre.
- Lousy costumes! - Waste of time.
I didn't know this was a play.
Well, kids, this was supposed to be the part of the show
where SpongeBob and I were gonna watch
old outtakes and rejected scenes and talk about them.
But he never showed up!
And now I'm stuck in the belly of a whale!
Oh, well, we already paid for the airtime,
so… here they are.
Hello, children.
You know, like any great work of art,
SpongeBob didn't just appear out of nowhere.
He started out as a thought.
Then, he evolved into a primitive rendering.
And along the way to becoming the sponge
that we all know and love,
he went through many different changes,
and phases, and "phanges".
And change can be very painful.
For instance, did you know that
SpongeBob was not the first choice to star in the show?
Hard to believe, I know.
Watch these opening themes,
and you'll see why he was eventually picked.
- Are you ready, kids? - Aye, aye, Captain!
- I can't hear you! - Aye, aye, Captain!
Oh…
Next!
- Are you ready, kids? - Aye, aye, Captain!
- I can't hear you! - Aye, aye, Captain!
Oh…
Oh! Whoa…
No!
- Are you ready, kids? - Aye, aye, Captain!
- I can't hear you! - Aye, aye, Captain!
Oh…
- d Eugene Krabs does d - Hey!
- d Eugene Krab does d - Give me, give me, give me.
Pretty cruddy, huh, kids?
Here's a really old clip of SpongeBob.
Back then, cartoons were called "flickering funnies".
Time to go to work!
- d He's ready d - Ready!
- d He's ready d - Yeah!
Hello, Krusty Krab!
- d He's ready d - I'm ready!
Oh, you… You little scallywag.
Oh! Hey, kids.
Just having some technical difficulties.
Whoa!
Whoa! Oh! Oh! Don't sneeze. Don't sneeze!
Ah… Ah… Ah…
No!
There it is! SpongeBob's house!
Oh, I finally get to meet me hero!
Whoo!
Well, hello.
Are you OK? Mister?
Mister, are you OK?
SpongeBob?
No. It's just me, the guy on the penny.
How did I get here? Where's SpongeBob?
Oh, who am I kidding?
I'm never gonna see SpongeBob.
Hardly. You can see SpongeBob everywhere.
See?
Hello, SpongeBob!
We want Krabby Patties!
We didn't even get to celebrate
the Krusty Krab's eleventy-seventh anniversary.
We missed what could've been the greatest party ever.
Hmm. You guys ready to give up?
Yes.
Then I'll just write myself down here for giving up, too.
- SpongeBob? - No, I don't wanna give up.
Ooh, I know!
Let's just say our tearful farewells and solemn last words.
I didn't make any money.
I never made anyone sick with envy.
I didn't get to sleep in this morning.
Guys, we can't give up now.
We got into this mess together,
and we'll get out of it the same way.
- Through the freezer? - No, by using our heads.
To concoct an elaborate escape plan?
No. As a battering ram.
Hup!
Ow!
OK, this is the one. Feel very good about this.
OK, ready?
Oh, boy! We made it out!
Whoo-hoo! Money! Money! Money!
Come on in, folks! No need to shove!
Plenty of room for all your money!
I…
Where are all me customers?
They left? With all their money?
We went through all of that for nothing?
Oh, it wasn't for nothing, Squidward.
I spent the whole day with my best friends.
You, Squidward. And you, Patrick.
What now?
And let's not forget the man who made it all possible.
Mr. Krabs. What could be better?
Money!
Oh, no. He's not gonna sing…
Mr. Krabs, look.
Me customers? They're coming back?
SpongeBob's dopey little song is bringing 'em back.
Oh, Krusty Krab, you've always been there for me.
When I'm tired and hungry, I just reach out my hand,
and there you are with a Krabby Patty that's so hot and juicy.
- Are you with me, people? - Yeah!
- I said are you with me, people? - Yeah!
In that case, let's get some Krabby Patties!
There's no-one here.
The Krusty Krab is empty.
I've won! The Krabby formula is mine!
It took eleventy-seven years, but I got it!
Oh, no.
No!
Ah! Oh! Ouch! Ouch!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Ow! Oh, nuts.
Did somebody order a Krabby… Whoa!
Look out!
Coming through! Whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ah! 'Tis a beautiful sight. It warms me heart.
Me Krabby Patty recipe! What's it doing out here?
Oh-ho! Should have known. Plankton.
Hey, Krabs. Uh… Happy eleventy-seven?
It's launching time.
Please, Krabs, no! I can't take it anymore!
No more launching, please!
Oh, all right.
Since I'm in such a good mood, I'll go easy on you this time.
There. Happy landings, Plankton!
You know, this isn't so bad.
Everyone looks like little ants from up here.
Wait. Help?
Stay away from the high-tension wires.
Allow me to open the door for a valued customer.
Gee, thanks, mister. Today must be my lucky day.
I found a wallet with 50 bucks in it.
Wow, that's some coincidence,
cos I lost one earlier today with 50 b…
Hey! Wait a minute.
Come back with me wallet, you thieving bilge rat!
Happy anniversary, Krusty Krab.
Tempo! Tempo!
