Plankton

No resting! This monument celebrating my glory isn’t just gonna build itself. MOVE FASTER!

Plankton
[Claps hands slowly 9 times]

Oh yes. Well done, SpongeBoob.

Plankton

Oh, don’t worry about me. My parade shall be quite dry under my UMBRELLA!!!

Plankton
[Last words before his defeat]

Come on, I was just kidding. Come on, you folks accidentally knew that, didn't you? With the helmets and the monuments. [laughs] Wasn't that hilarious, everybody? I will destroy all of you!

"I stole your crown, signed... EUGENE KRABS"?!

Relinquish the royal crown to me AT ONCE! [points his burning trident at Mr. Krabs]

But... But this is crazy! I didn't do it!

Answering Machine

Ahoy! This is Eugene Krabs-- leave a message!

Answering Machine

Hi, Mr. Krabs, this is Clay, the guy you sold Neptune's crown to? Yeah. I just wanted to say thanks again for selling me the crown. Neptune's crown. [Mr. Krabs tries to stop the machine by breaking it but it continues to play] I sold it to a guy in Shell City and, uh... I just wanted to say thanks again for selling me the crown. Neptune's crown... [Mr. Krabs rips the phone from the cord but the phone still works for a brief moment] ...which is now in Shell City, goodbye.

Eh-heh-heh, h'well, I was... I, uh... hoo-hoo... eh... Don't'cha just hate wrong numbers?

MY CROWN IS IN THE FORBIDDEN SHELL CITY?!! [screams]

Plankton
[appears on the other end of the phone]

Plan Z, I love Plan Z!

Plankton

His chaps are too righteous. The helmets can't handle this level of rock and roll! Karen, do something!

[crowd surfing]

WWOOOOOO, WHEEEEE!

Plankton
[first words]

Curses! It's not fair! Krabs is being interviewed by Perch Perkins, and I've never even had one CUSTOMER! [echoes]

[first words]

Don't get worked up again, Plankton, I just mopped the floors.

Plankton

Oh, Karen, my computer wife, if only I could have managed to steal the secret to Krabs' success, the formula for the Krabby Patty. Ohhh. Oh! Then people would line up to eat at my restaurant. Lord knows I've tried. I've exhausted every evil plan in my filing cabinet from A to Y.

A to Y?

Plankton

Yeah, A to Y. You know, the alphabet.

What about Z?

Plankton

Z?

Z. The letter after Y.

Plankton

W, X, Y. Plan Z! Here it is, just like you said!

[rolls her eyes]

Oh, boy.

Plankton

Oh! Oh! Ohhh! It's evil. It's diabolical. [sniffs it] It's lemon-scented. This Plan Z can't POSSIBLY FAIL! So enjoy today, Mr. Krabs, because by tomorrow, I'll have the formula. Then everyone will eat at the Chum Bucket, and I will rule the world! All hail Plankton. ALL HAIL PLANKT--! [gets stepped on by SpongeBob] Ow!

I'm ready, promotion! I'm ready, promotion!

Plankton

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Eww, I think I stepped in something. [drags his foot on the ground while Plankton screams]

Plankton

Not "in something", -"on someone", you twit!

Oh. Sorry, Plankton. Are you on your way to the grand opening ceremony?

Plankton
[mockingly]

No, I mean, yes, I'm almost on my side over to the grand opening ceremony. I'm busy on planning to rule the world! Almost done! [laughs]

Well, good luck with that. I'm ready, promotion! I'm ready, promotion!

Plankton

Stupid kid.

[wrecking the stage of the Krusty Krab 2]

Let's hear it for SpongeBob! [realizes everyone ran off] Hello? Where did everybody go? Did I miss something? Did you see my butt?

French Narrator

Later that evening.

Plankton

About another time to put Plan Z into effect. Starting at the undersea castle of King Neptune.

Squire
[A squire plays his trumpet as King Neptune and his daughter, Princess Mindy, sit down on their thrones. King Neptune bonks the squire's head with his trident]

Oh, right. The royal court is now in session. Bring the prisoner forward.

So, you have confessed to the crime of touching the king's crown?

Prisoner

Yes, but-

BUT WHAT?!

Prisoner

But it's my job, your highness. I'm the royal crown polisher.

Well then, I guess I can't execute you. 20 years in the dungeon, it is.

Daddy! You're free to go.

Crown polisher

Bless you, Princess Mindy. [He runs away.]

Mindy, how dare you defy me?

Why do you need to be very mean?

I am the king. I must enforce for the laws of the sea.

Father, I wish you'd try a little love and compassion instead of these harsh punishments.

Squire

That would be nice.

[bonks the squire with his trident again]

Squire! Clear the room. I wish to speak to my daughter alone. [Everyone else leaves.] What's this, Mindy?

Your crown?

And what does this crown do?

Covers your bald spot.

It's not bald, it's thinning. This crown does much more than cover a slightly receding hairline. No, this crown entitles the one who wears it to be in charge of the sea. One day, you will wear this crown.

I'm gonna be bald?

Thinning! Anyway, the point is, you won't wear it until you learn to rule with an iron fist, like your father.

Uh, Dad? Your "crown"?

What the? MY CROWN!!!! AHHHHHH! Someone has stolen the royal crown!

Plankton

I got it! I got it!

$101 for a Krabby Patty?

With cheese, Mr. Squidward, with cheese.

[arriving and his squire blows his trumpet]

Greetings, subjects. I seek the one known as Eugene Krabs. May he present himself to me at once.

I am Eugene Krabs, Your Highness. Would you like to order somethin'?

NAY!!! I'm onto you, Krabs! You have stolen the royal crown, you cannot deny! For, clever as you are, you left one damning piece of evidence at the scene of the crime! [shows him a note]

"I stole your crown. Signed, EUGENE KRABS?!

Relinquish the royal crown to me AT ONCE!

B-But, this is crazy! I didn't do it!

Ahoy! This is Eugene Krabs! Leave a message.

Plankton
[disguised voice, on the answering machine]

Hi, Mr. Krabs, this is Clay, the guy you sold Neptune's crown to? Yeah. I just wanted to say thanks again for sellin' me the crown. Neptune's crown. I sold it to a guy in Shell City and, uh, I just wanted to say thanks again for sellin' the crown. Neptune's crown. Which is now in Shell City. Goodbye.

[chuckles nervously]

Eh-heh-heh. Don't you just hate wrong numbers?

MY CROWN IS IN THE FORBIDDEN SHELL CITY?! WAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! [Scene cuts to Plankton on the phone]

Plankton

Plan Z, I love Plan Z.

WAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! Prepare to burn, Krabs! [lights his trident]

[sobs]

Wait, Neptune! Please, I'm beggin' ya! I ain't a crook! Ask anyone, they'll vouch for me!

Very well, then. [extinguishes his trident] Before I turn this conniving crustacean into fish-meal, who here has anything to say about Eugene Krabs?

[burps]

I got something to say about Mr... [gulps] Krabs.

SpongeBob, me boy, oh, you've come just in time. Please tell King Neptune all about me.

I have worked for Mr. Krabs for... [burps] many years and always thought he was a great boss.

You see? A great boss.

[off-screen]

I now realize that he's a great... big... jerk! [Mr. Krabs turns to SpongeBob] I deserved that manager's job! [grabs Mr. Krabs upsettingly] But you didn't give it to me, 'cause you say I'm a kid. Well, I am 100% man! And this... man... has got something to say to you. [takes a deep breath and blows a long raspberry] There, I think I've made my point.

[Mr. Krabs' pupils turn to King Neptune]

Anyone else? No? Well, then. [fires at Mr. Krabs, causing him to burn his butt]

[immediately snaps out of his cynical, drunken state]

Huh?

[flies around the restaurant with his butt burning]

Ooh! Me pants are on fire! Me underwear's on fire! I'm on fire! [he dives into a bucket of water] Oh, yeah.

And now, Eugene Krabs, [prepares to blast Mr. Krabs again] you... will... [SpongeBob grips onto King Neptune's nose]

Wait! I'm flattered you would do this on my account, but being manager isn't worth killing Mr. Krabs over.

Quiet, fool! Mr. Krabs stole my crown, and now it's in Shell City. That's why he must die.

Doesn't it seem a little harsh to kill someone over a crown?

You don't understand! My crown is a symbol of my king like authority. And, uh, between you and me, my hair is thinning a bit.

Oh, your highness, I'm sure it's not that notice... Baaaald! Bald! Bald! Bald!

Crowd

Bald! Bald! Bald! Bald!

Fred

MY EYES!

Alright, alright.

Uh, King Neptune, sir? Would you spare Mr. Krabs' life if I went to get your crown back?

YOU, go to Shell City?! [laughs] No one who's gone to Shell City has ever returned! What makes you think you could? You're just a kid. [throws SpongeBob to the floor]

[sadly]

But I'm not a kid. I can do it.

Run along. I have a crab to cook. [lights his trident]

No!

[SpongeBob gets in the way]

No! I won't let you!

[sighs]

Very well, then. I'll have to fry you both!

[runs to the Krusty Krab to stop him]

Daddy, stop it! Can't you get through one day without executing someone?

Mindy? I told you to stay in the carriage!

Where's your love and compassion? [holds up SpongeBob] Look at this little guy! He's willing to risk his life to find your crown and save his boss.

But, daughter, I...

Please, Father, at least let him try... What have you got to lose? Might I remind you of your... special problem? [removes the paper bag, once again revealing the shiny bald spot]

All

Bald! Bald! Bald! Bald! Bald!

Fred
[offscreen]

My eyes!

All

Bald!

Very well, Mindy. I'll give him a chance. But when your little champion fails to return, I get to splatter this crab all over the walls!

Huh?

[to SpongeBob]

And as for you, be back here with my crown in exactly ten days.

[interrupting]

He can do it in nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs

Patrick! [they tackle him]

Six it is, then.

[Krabs strangles him]

Five...?

Patrick, shush!

Until then, the crab shall remain frozen where he now stands.

No, wait, I'm beggin' ya! [King Neptune freezes him]

Who turned on the AC? Ah! Mr. Krabs! Oh, no, this is terrible! Who's gonna sign my paycheck?

Come along, Mindy.

[to SpongeBob and Patrick]

Listen, you guys, the road to Shell City is really dangerous. There's crooks, killers, and monsters everywhere! And what's worse, there's a giant Cyclops who guards the outskirts of the city, and preys on innocent sea creatures! Don't let him catch you, because if he does, he'll take you back to his lair, and you'll never be seen again!

She's pretty, SpongeBob.

Here, take this.

What's in here? [opens the bag and wind blows into his face]

It's a magical bag of winds. I stole them from my father.

You're hot.

Once you find the crown, open the bag of winds, and you'll be blown back home.

Sheldon J. Plankton

Ding-a-ling! Hey there, old buddy. Freeze! [laughs] No, no, don't trouble yourself. I'll get it. Well, I'd like to hang around, but I've got Krabby Patties to make... over at the Chum Bucket. Plan Z, I love ya! [laughs]

Perch

Excuse me, Plankton. Perch Perkins, Bikini Bottom news. Can I get a minute?

Sheldon J. Plankton

Anything for you, Perch.

Perch

All of Bikini Bottom wants to know, how did you get the Krabby Patty?

Sheldon J. Plankton

Well, Perch, before my dear friend, Eugene Krabs. "Sell the krabby patties in my absence at the Chum Bucket," he said. "Don't let the flame die out!" [fake sobs] By the way, act now, and you get a free Chum Bucket bucket helmet with every purchase. Here ya go, Perch.

Perch

Thanks.

Sheldon J. Plankton

Evil Plan Z is way ahead of you, baby. I've already hired someone to take care of those two. HE'S A VICIOUS, COLD-BLOODED PREDATOR!!!!!

[Elsewhere, a green fish riding a motorcycle stops at the gas station and picks up a sesame seed]

Sesame seed.

Floyd

Hey, mister, does that hat take 10 gallons?
[Floyd and Lloyd smack their knees and laugh more. Dennis rips off their mouths]

So... you're selling Krabby Patties, eh, Plankton?

Sheldon J. Plankton

That's right, Squidward. And there's a free bucket helmet with every purchase. Care for one?

No! You may have hoodwinked everyone else in this backwater town, but you can't fool me. I listen to public radio!

Sheldon J. Plankton

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you set up Mr. Krabs! You stole the crown, so Neptune would freeze him, and you could finally get your stubby, little paws on the Krabby Patty formula! It was you all along! But you've made one fatal mistake! You've messed with my paycheck. And I'm gonna report you to the highest authority in the land, King Neptune!

Sheldon J. Plankton

We'll see about that, inspector loose-lips! [pushes a button on Karen and laughs]

Karen Plankton

Now activating helmet brain-control devices.

Huh? [A large signal tower flares to life on the roof of the Chum Bucket. An antenna rises out of each customer's bucket helmet, which completely covers every customer's head, one by one] What? [Soon, the lights dim and they all stand up, as they all speak in a drone.]

Slaves

All hail Plankton.

[Eyes widened]

What's goin' on here?

Slaves

All hail Plankton.

Sheldon J. Plankton
[points at Squidward]

Seize him, slaves!

Slaves

All hail Plankton.

Ah! I'm gettin' out of here! [Runs for the door, but more slaves burst in and corner him]

Slaves

All hail Plankton. All hail Plankton.

Sheldon J. Plankton
[Squidward, cornered, shrieks in terror as Plankton's slaves capture him] [laughs evilly]

Who can stop me now? Who?!

Plankton
[Plankton comes at the Krusty Krab and talks to frozen Mr. Krabs]

Well, Krabs, you know what today is? [jumps on him next to a calendar] Sorry about this, calendar. [flips page] March 14th! Wait, that's not right. It should say THE DAY THAT KRABS FRIES! [laughs evilly]

[Back on the surface, Hasselhoff, with SpongeBob, Patrick and the crown still on his back, zooms across the water like a speedboat. A fisherman startles as he falls off his boat after seeing Hasselhoff, who smile]

Hooray for Hasselhoff! Nothing can stop us now!

Huh? Unidentified object off the hindquarters.

It looks like... Bigger boot. But how? AAHH! DENNIS!

Did you miss me?

Sheldon J. Plankton

This is the best seat in the house. Alright, Neptune, let's get it on!

Eugene Krabs, your six day reprieve is up, and it is time for you to die.

Please, I didn't do it!

There is nothing else I can do.

You can give SpongeBob and Patrick a little more time.

Except give SpongeBob and Patrick a little more ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-time---- WHAT? Mindy, will you butt out? I won't have you stalling this execution.

Stalling? I'm not stalling anything.

Yes, you are.

No, I'm not.

Yes, you are. You're doing it right now.

I'm stalling?

Yes.

Stalling?

Stalling!

Stalling.

Stalling!

Sheldon J. Plankton

Oh, boy.

Now, where were we?

Patrick, run!

No! I'm tired of running. If we run now, we'll never stop- [Dennis knocks him away] Run, SpongeBob!

Ahhhhhh! [He slides down David's rear, but Dennis stabs it with his knife]

Ooh! Take it easy back there, fellas.

SpongeBob, be careful!

Come on, kid, give it up. Dennis always gets his man.

NEVER!!!!!!!!!! [jumps to Hasselhoff's other leg] Yeah, I did it!

You got guts, kid. Too bad I gotta rip 'em outta ya.

Uh, I don't know what Plankton's paying you, but if you let us go, I can make it worth your while. [presents a stack of Goober Dollars]

[grabs them]

It's gonna take more than 5...What is this?

Uh, that, sir, is 5 Goober Dollars. Legal tender at any participating Goofy Goober - [Dennis furiously grabs him by the shirt] I got bubbles. Fun at parties. [Blows them at Dennis's face]

My eyes!

I got you, SpongeBob!

Thanks, buddy. Yeah, thanks a lot.

[last words]

That's it! I'm through messin' around! SEE YA LATER, FOOLS! Huh?

[A boat horn honks, and Hasselhoff ducks under a catamaran. The boat knocks Dennis off him]

See ya.

No! No! No! Oh, SpongeBob, wherever you are, you better hurry.

[Back on the surface, Hasselhoff stops near Bikini Atoll Island]

OK, fellas, this is where you get off. Bikini Bottom is directly below.

But we'll never be able to float down in time.

Who said anything about floating?

Houston Voice
[As David stands up]

Initiating launch sequence.

What the...?

[David's pecs slide out and apart from one another]

Did you see that?

The control.

All hands on deck!

Houston Voice
[David places the crown with SpongeBob and Patrick on it between his pecs, then begins to squeeze them out.]

10 seconds to liftoff. 10, 9, 8...

[Cut back and forth between David and the Krusty Krab]

Eugene Krabs, the time has come... [lights his trident]

Sheldon J. Plankton

Yes.

Houston Voice

...7, 6, 5...

...for you...

Sheldon J. Plankton

Yes.

Houston Voice

...4, 3, 2...

...to fry.

Sheldon J. Plankton

Yes.

Houston Voice

...1.

[David launches the crown into the water; SpongeBob and Patrick hold on to the crown zooming at high speed as they holler and speed right back to Bikini Bottom toward the Krusty Krab 2] [closes his eyes]

No!

[The duo crashes through the roof with the crown. Just as a ray of light is about to hit Krabs, the crown blocks it and deflects it upward through the ceiling, saving his life. The ray of light blasts up to the surface where Hasselhoff is]

You've done good, Hasselhoff. You've done... [the ray of light zaps him] Ow.

[opens his eyes]

Huh? Huh?

Hooray! We made it!

We made it!

My crown! My beautiful crown! [kisses it]

SpongeBob, Patrick? [hugs them] I knew you could do it!

Sheldon J. Plankton
[clapping slowly]

Oh, yes. Well done, SpongeBoob.

Sorry to rain on your parade, Plankton.

Sheldon J. Plankton

Oh, don't worry about me. My parade shall be quite dry under my umbrella!

SpongeBob, Patrick Star, and Princess Mindy

Umbrella?

Because I did what everyone said a kid couldn't do, I made it to Shell City, I beat the Cyclops, I rode the Hasselhoff, and I brought the crown back!

Sheldon J. Plankton

Alright, we get the point!

[A spotlight shines on SpongeBob as he is surrounded by disco lights and fog]

So, yeah, I'm a kid, and I'm also a goofball, and a wing nut, and a Knucklehead McSpazatron!

Sheldon J. Plankton
[coughs]

What's goin' on here?

But most of all, I'm...

Sheldon J. Plankton

Okay, settle down.

Sheldon J. Plankton

Take it easy!

I'm...!!!

Sheldon J. Plankton

WHAT THE SCALLOP?!

I'm a Goofy Goober!

(ROCK!) [Plankton screams and lands through the wall] [rockstar voice]

You're a Goofy Goober (ROCK!)
We're all Goofy Goobers (ROCKS!)
[Earth turns into SpongeBob] Goofy, Gooby, Goofy Goober (ROCK!)
[cues him approaching the dynamite in front of a spotlight] Put your toys away
Well, all I gotta say when you tell me not to play
I say "no way!" (NO!) No, no freakin' way! [blows up the wall freeing the toys out of a jail cell and shows Patrick's giant legs]
I'm a kid, you say?
When you say "I'm a kid", I say "say it again" and then I say "thanks"!
Thank you very much!
[SpongeBob folds his glasses and squares split into multiple sides'] ]

[rockstar voice]

So if you're thinking that'd you'd like to be like me
Go ahead and try the kid inside will set you free [switches to "Just a Gigolo, screen breaks] I'm a Goofy Goober! (ROCK!)

Sheldon J. Plankton
[knocked unconscious]

What's happening? Huh? [sees SpongeBob doing it] His dance moves are impressive, but I'm control! Seize him!

Citizens

All hail Plankton.

Fred
[SpongeBob transforms himself into a wizard practicing his rock guitar solo, Patrick cheers, then actives his Goofy Goober rock guitar laser to zap the first helmet]

I'm free! I've been freed!

Sheldon J. Plankton

What? [SpongeBob uses a Goofy Goober guitar laser to free the citizens of Bikini Bottom] No! [SpongeBob zaps more helmets to free all the citizens] MY PRECIOUS HELMETS!

Yee-haw!

Gary the Snail

Meow.

Sheldon J. Plankton

His chops are too righteous! The helmets can't handle this level of rock and roll! Karen, do something! Alright, that's the last straw! Neptune, I command you to-

[SpongeBob frees him, too] [giving the crown to her father]

Here you go, Daddy.

Sheldon J. Plankton

I'd better get out of here.

Sandals

Look! It's the wizard who saved us!

Sheldon J. Plankton
[last words before his defeat]

Out of my way, fools! [gets trampled by every fish] Come on, I was just kidding. Come on, you guys knew that, didn't you? With the helmets and the monuments. [laughs] Wasn't that hilarious, everybody? I'll destroy all of you!
