[The film begins with SpongeBob in front of an electricity box.]
SpongeBob: I'm ready! (Not heard in other Nickelodeon movies and not heard in International versions of the film)
[SpongeBob struggles to pull down the lever, until finally it breaks free and the camera then follows what looks to be electric green slime going through a tube until finally reaching the "N" on the Nickelodeon logo and thus powering on the entire logo. The walls fall down opening up to a beautiful sunset with palm trees on each side and with electric green slime tubes coming down from the first and last "N" on the Nickelodeon Logo. The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards blimp comes by spitting out the word "Movies" right underneath the Nickelodeon logo. As the Blimp comes into shot, a fanfare plays the Nickelodeon jingle with SpongeBob singing along.]
SpongeBob: ♪ Du-du-doo-dah-daaah! ♪ (Not heard in other Nickelodeon movies and not heard in International versions of the film)
[The blimp then flies out of shot and the screen fades to black. Then the logo for "MRC" then fades in with a shine on the logo then it fades to black.

[The scene transitions under the sea with bubbles that fill the screen, showing numerous fish swimming by and other organisms that live on the ocean floor.]
Narrator: Life in this watery metropolis thrives among the twists and turns, nooks and crannies and back alleys. And near the reef's edge, the varied and colorful terrain gives way to... a small town by the name of Bikini Bottom.
[Jellyfish then come on screen with the shot opening up to a beautiful morning in Bikini Bottom. The jellyfish swim away in a pack and a clam goes "cock-a-doodle-doo," signifying that a new day has begun.]

[The scene then transitions to inside Sandy's treedome where she screws on a piece of her latest inventions.]

[The scene then transitions to Gary looking at SpongeBob, who is still sleeping.]
Gary: Meow?
[Gary then climbs all over SpongeBob in an attempt to wake him up, leaving slime all over SpongeBob's face which gets slightly distorted; his eyes are sideways and his nose is on his forehead.]
SpongeBob: Oh! uh... G'morning, Gary!
[SpongeBob then rubs some slime off his face, thus shifting it back to normal. The shot transitions to SpongeBob's hands with slime all over them and with Gary sitting right in front, looking directly at him.]
SpongeBob: Ew, snail trail... yucky. [sits on the bed] But, oddly soothing. [Without the slime, he rushes to his window sticking his head out] Good morning, Patrick!
[The camera then pans out to where it shows SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick's house. The rock then lifts up, showing Patrick.]

Gary: Meow!
[SpongeBob holds one of Gary's toys and plays with him.]

Squidward: [Sighs] Another day, another migraine...
[It then shows Squidward grumpily walking to his register boat where there he sits down and reads a Kelpy G magazine]
Squidward: Well, at least I'll get a little peace and quiet before that little...
[Then out of nowhere, SpongeBob randomly pops up by Squidward's register startling Squidward.]]
SpongeBob: Good morning Squidward, and isn't it a lovely morning?
Squidward: Nope, not talking to you.
[Squidward then goes back to trying to read his Kelpy G magazine]

[The camera then cuts back to SpongeBob]
SpongeBob: Ok, Squidward.
[SpongeBob then begins to walk back to the Kitchen.]
Squidward: [Sighs]
SpongeBob: But you should know that Old Gertrude is getting pretty finicky these days.
Squidward: Old Gertrude? Who the kelp is that?
SpongeBob: You've worked with her for years! She's the 8-burner grill in the Kitchen.
[SpongeBob then goes into the kitchen]
Squidward: [Angrily] It never ends...
[SpongeBob then skips around the kitchen placing himself next to the grill]
SpongeBob: Anyway, to fire her up, you've gotta spark the flames manually...
[The grill then lets out a boom releasing the grill into midair for a brief second]

Mr. Krabs: Get movin' sailor!
SpongeBob: Sir yes sir!
[SpongeBob runs off.]
Mr. Krabs: Raise the colors!
[SpongeBob grabs a rope and swings up to the mast and back down to pull the five international maritime signal flags above the front door.]
Mr. Krabs: Hoist the main sail!
[Outside, SpongeBob pulls the rope from the large clam-shaped sign, opening it up to show its sign.]
Mr. Krabs: Deploy smokestacks!
[Inside, Squidward flicks the lever on a nearby engine order telegraph with a pencil, setting it to FULL while reading his magazine. Outside, the smokestack rises up on the roof. Inside, in the kitchen, SpongeBob sniffs the grill while smoke form it comes up through the smokestack and spread over Bikini Bottom. Mr. Krabs then walks to the door, puts on the opening sign, and opens the doors, leading a herd of hungry customers to run over Krabs flat.]
Mr. Krabs: [chuckles] Ahh... never gets old.
[Outside, Plankton spies on the Krusty Krab from the Chum Bucket with a giant telescope.]
Plankton: [cackles] Enjoy it while you can, Mr. Eugene Krabs.
[Beeping]
Plankton: What the...? [The telescope says "INSERT COIN"; growling] Stupid machine! [Inserts a coin] Where was I? Oh, yeah. [cackling]. Tonight I launch Evil Plan Number 3,087, [hops on an elevator then goes down inside] and finally take possession of the Krabby Patty secret formula!

Karen: Oh, nothing, it's just we're running out of room on The Wall of Failure.
Plankton: Wall of Fai--?
[He sees a wall of framed pictures of his failed plans]
Plankton: Karen, why do you keep collecting these?
Karen: Heh. Memories.
Plankton: Hmm! Well, tonight… is gonna be different. [Laughs] You see Karen, my computer wife, every time I've tried to steal that formula, Krabs has tried to thwart me.
Karen: Mm-mm, not Mr. Krabs.
Plankton: But tonight, that all...what?
Karen: It's not Mr. Krabs, sweetheart. I've checked the data. It's SpongeBob who's the problem.
SpongeBob: [on screen] Hello!
Plankton: Oh, fishsticks. What could that boob have to do with it? Heh.
Karen: Boob savant, you mean. SpongeBob is the one who keeps foiling your plans.
SpongeBob: [on screen] Surprise!
Karen: Not Mr. Krabs.
Plankton: Oh nonsense, It's Krabs, Karen! I know it is. And tonight, I will finally, extract my revenge! [laughs evilly]

All SpongeBobs: Hi, Sandy! [They all pop back into one single SpongeBob. Sandy stares blankly for a second.]
Sandy: Did you know in the future everything will be automated?
SpongeBob: Really? Even stomach aches?
Sandy: [Laughs] I'm gonna see if Mr. Krabs wants to be an early adopter of my new technology.
SpongeBob: Wait, what?! [jumps on the box, feeling scared] You're gonna replace me with a robot? Don't do it!
Sandy: No, silly, that's gonna happen anyway. This is something much more innovative and start-uppy.
[The scene cuts to Mr. Krabs office]
Mr. Krabs: You have sixty seconds.
Sandy: Its name is Otto!
[Sandy pulls out a remote, pushes the button to open the box, with Otto whirring]

[Mr. Krabs stops when counting the coins]
Sandy: It's an automated restaurant owner.
Mr. Krabs: Hmm. Automated? Sounds expensive, Not interested.
Sandy: Otto doesn't require a salary.
[Mr. Krabs stop walking, with his eyes turned around]
Sandy: And it can make cold, heartless decisions like firing people because it doesn't have a heart.
[Sandy punch Otto]

Mr. Krabs: Amazing!

Karen: Come on, little robot. Let's get you some supper.

Mr. Krabs: Whatever. Oh! I found this uneaten Krabby Patty on table six. You know what to do with it.

[Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob both laugh as Mr. Krabs leaves]
SpongeBob: Good night!
[SpongeBob locks the Krabby Patty]
SpongeBob: Huh, I better start cleaning.
[He starts by mopping the floors. Instead of mopping with his mop, he starts mopping by himself with liquid inside of his body and squeezes it]
SpongeBob: I'm ready!
[Then, he lands on a wall 5 times, then, he licks the camera and it's now clean. Then, he cleans the floors]

Plankton: [cackles] Yes!
[The lid is about to be open, but it has an "Insert Coin"]
Plankton: Wait, wait. No. No. No!
[The lid closes]
Plankton: Stupid coin operated!
[He inserted the coin and the lid is finally opened]
Plankton: Oh! Bingo! Come to papa.
[He takes the Krabby Patty and puts it in his bag]
Plankton: In just a few minutes, the formula will be mine!
[The bag says "Analyzing Formula," and "Analysis Complete" and it's printing the formula, waiting for it to complete. Plankton then snatched the formula and kicks his bag]
Plankton: Yes! Krab's fast-food empire will fail, and I will rule Bikini Bottom, as it's new slop king! [Laughs loudly]
[SpongeBob slams the door to see what's going on]
SpongeBob: I knew it!
[Plankton yells then falls and land in the wet floor, with the formula floating]
Plankton: The formula!

Plankton: Come here, you!
SpongeBob: Huh. No keys. That's weird. Where could they be?
Plankton: Yes! No.
[SpongeBob opens the cabinet, but no keys there. Plankton pushes the tub, causing the fryers high]

[Plankton slips and screams at the wet floor sign and slides on and sees the formula still floating]
Plankton: [Gasps] Gotcha!

[King Poseidon looks at the mirror with people holding mirrors for him]
Poseidon: Chancellor, look. Look at me! 3,000 years old and check out my skin. It looks like a baby's butt.
Chancellor: Ageless, sire. Looking fresh.
[Poseidon gets out of his seat]
Poseidon: Ha! I owe it to my subjects to look fabulous, don't you think?
Chancellor: There are other obligations, sire. Like ruling and stuff. Let's see...
[pulls out his bills]
Chancellor: I need your signature on these taxes, decrees, this here declaration of war and my paycheck.
Poseidon: Is that right?
Chancellor: Yeah.
[Poseidon and Chancellor both chuckle and starts to laugh]
Poseidon: Very good. Oh, Chancellor, when will you learn to focus on what really matters? A monarch's regime is only as powerful as his skin care regime.
[Chancellor throws away his paycheck]
Chancellor: Word. Mm-hm.
Poseidon: You know, some say I have a face like a Greek God.
Chancellor: Well, you are a Greek god, so...
[Poseidon stops and looks what's happening to his skin, he has a wrinkle]

Chancellor: Here it comes.
[Poseidon starts to shout]
Poseidon: I'm ugly!
[Chancellor starts putting his noise cancelling headphone on to avoid his yell, and one of his paintings fell]

[Chancellor starts clapping to the horn players and they start playing the fanfare to get the snail]
Poseidon: Where is it?
Chancellor: Here you go, sire. Your royal snail.
Poseidon: Oh! Oh, oh, thank you. This mollusk has the rejuvenating power of a thousand facials.
Snail: [Meows]
[Poseidon rubs the snail on his face, but it's not working, then he stops]
Poseidon: What?! Is it empty?
[He shakes the snail to see if they have any of them left, then he stops and the snail coughs]
Poseidon: Take it away! Bring me another snail at once!
[They throw away the snails, then, she whispers to Chancellor that there are no snails]
Chancellor: Uh-oh!
Poseidon: Chancellor?
Chancellor: Okay, uh... Full disclosure, man, uh... We're out of snails.
[Poseidon starts lighting his trident at Chancellor]
Poseidon: What?!
Chancellor: In fact, the entire snail population has been, uh... What's the word? Oh, yeah... depleted.
Poseidon: You're telling me there are... no more snails?
Chancellor: There are no more snails.
Poseidon: And you're confident of that?
Chancellor: Really confident.
[King Poseidon starts to scream and throws his trident at the seahorse statue]
Poseidon: Oh, Chancellor, for the love of Hermes, my kingdom for a snail! No, no, no. I'm being hasty. Half my kingdom for a snail! No, no, no, a boon. Yes. I'll grant a boon to whomever shall bring me a snail.
Chancellor: Gotcha. I'll draw up the decree, sire.
[The Chancellor then draws a decree, then the scene transitions back into Bikini Bottom with a decree posted and he ran away with his horse cart. Plankton then sees the decree]

[Patrick then sees SpongeBob lying around being sad and holding his bowl]
SpongeBob: I know, Patrick.
Patrick: SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: Oh, Patrick, if something would've happened to Gary, I- I don't know what I'd do.
Patrick: I'm sorry, buddy. Hey! Maybe he left a clue.
[Patrick steps on a squeaky toy and slipped and land on his litter. He then sees a decree from King Poseidon]
Patrick: Look! A clue!
[SpongeBob then reads the decree and gasps]
SpongeBob: Gary's been snailnapped! And taken to The Lost City of Atlantic City!
[Patrick chews the litter box]
Patrick: Oh, really? That's awesome!

Patrick: Wow. All that, and is lost, too?
SpongeBob: "King Poseidon has proven himself a whimsical tyrant, known for exciting his subjects by beheading them in a flamboyant floor show extravaganza."
[It shows a page of Poseidon sawing a man, then, he turned the page to not enter]

[Patrick pulls SpongeBob's pants up]
Patrick: Yeah! Right behind you.
SpongeBob: Do I smell a road trip?!
Patrick: That could be my breath.
[The scene cuts to SpongeBob slams the door and laughs with Patrick]
SpongeBob: Okey-dokey. Now, let's drill down on a plan. Pat, you're in charge of transpo. Just remember, I don't drive and you don't have a car.
[They both stopped walking to realize they heard a noise, It was Otto driving with Plankton while "Slow Ride" by Foghat plays]
Plankton: Beep beep.
[They made their destination to their house]
Plankton: Hey, boys. Don't know if you have any use for this old thing if you're going on any tips or journeys or quests or rescue missions. But if you are, Otto is your ticket.
SpongeBob and Patrick: Otto!
Plankton: Just tell ol' Otto where you want to go and it will take you there!
Otto: All aboard! You're fired!
Patrick: Cool!
[They both get in]
Patrick: A self-driving boat.
SpongeBob: Thanks Plankton. You're the best!
Plankton: I know, I know. Bye-bye.
Patrick: Otto. Find, Gary.
Otto: You got it.
[Otto starts driving, but it took a spin and crashed at an anchor]
SpongeBob: No, Patrick. You got to be more specific. Otto, find Gary the snail.
Otto: Recaculating.
[The car turns back and starts to crash an anchor again]
Plankton: Ugh. Here, let me try. Take them to The Lost City of Atlantic City [starts to become furious and yells at Otto] and don't ever come back! [becomes calm] Never hurts to employ a little hyperbole.
Otto: It is my pleasure to serve you.
[The car starts driving faster as they both yell]
Plankton: Bon voyage, boys. I'm ready, I'm ready. They're dead.
[The scene then transitions to Otto driving]
Patrick: This is gonna be like one of those buddy movies. We're the buddies!
SpongeBob: Not sure that really applies Patrick, but--
Patrick: Why not? Were two buddies setting out with a common goal. We'll argue about something dumb, fight and breakups, only to come back when we realize neither could do it without the other. It's simple yet magical.
SpongeBob: Yeah. It feels more to me like the journey of a singular hero who against all odds, triumphs over adversity.
Patrick: [snorts] I say buddy movie and you say, oh, whatever that dumb thing you said.
[They begin to start an argument]
SpongeBob: Oh, really? Dumb thing, I'm dumb? Oh, I love your sense of irony, Patrick.
[He then sees Patrick ironing his sweater and throws his iron and wears it]
Patrick: Thank you, I love my sense of ironing, too. Maybe if your head wasn't packed full of sand, you could have ironing!
[He then throws his iron table]
SpongeBob: Well, better a head full of sand than a head full of rocks, like yours!
[Patrick starts ripping his sweater off and begins to lose it and yells at Otto]
Patrick: Ah! That's it! Stop the car
SpongeBob: Yeah, stop the car, Otto!
[Otto stops the car and they both flew and crashed at the billboard with manatees wearing "I Love (Heart shaped) Manatees" and the title says "Manatees Brothers: Attorney At Law" and they both get off and fell]
SpongeBob: Sorry, Patrick, really. I shouldn't have said you have rocks in your head.
Patrick: I shouldn't have said your brain is made of sand. That was mean and dumb.
SpongeBob: Okay. Let's just forget it, huh?
Patrick: Never happened.
[Patrick then hugs SpongeBob]
SpongeBob: Uh-huh.
[As they went back to the car, SpongeBob takes out sand in his head, and Patrick takes out rocks in his head, while "On the Road Again" by Willie Nelson plays.]
Otto: Hop on in, guys.
[They try to get in the car, but it was a trick by Otto.]
Otto: Come on, guys. Ha ha ha. Nope.
[The scene cuts to where we see The Flying Dutchman's ship, wrecked. And they both chase Otto to get in the car. The scene then transitions to the Krusty Krab with a lot of angry people wanting a Krabby Patty, while Mr. Krabs enters the Krusty Krab]
Fish #1: Krabby!
Mr. Krabs: One at a time, people. One at a time.
[He then chuckles and later starts pushing people to see Squidward]
Mr. Krabs: Squidward, why ain't I seeing Krabby Patties rolling out the service windows? Where's SpongeBob?
Squidward: How should I know? And, frankly, you won't find me complaining. Heh-heh!
[Mr. Krabs then opens the door to the kitchen to see SpongeBob.]
Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob! What's with yer lollygaggin' boy? SpongeBob? SpongeBob? SpongeBob? Get out here this instant! That's an direct order! I don't get it. He has never missed a workday.
[Mr. Krabs then opens the door and the jar was thrown and crashed and he screams with many customers chanting for Krabby Patties]
Big-Mac Lemont: Hey! Where are my Krabby Patties?
[He then shakes Squidward.]
Squidward: How should I know?
Mr. Krabs: It's coming, sir, It's coming!
[Mr. Krabs starts whispering at Squidward.]
Mr. Krabs: Squidward, get in the kitchen and whip up some Krabby Patties.
[Squidward then walks to the kitchen to set up the stove.]
Squidward: All right, uh, the Gertrude and what did he say? Uh, spark her flints.
[He tries doing the same like SpongeBob.]
Squidward: Uh, jiggle her jets, and, uh, oh, yes. "The Little Griddle Who Could." "We're fresh from the freezer," said the little--
[It then interrupts with the grill exploded and flew away.]
Squidward: Mr. Krabs, we've got a-
[Many people hits Mr. Krabs and get thrown in the walls.]
Mr. Krabs: Squidward! We wouldn't be in this mess if SpongeBob was around.
Squidward: Where is SpongeBob?
[The scene then transitions to the desert, with a hawk cries, and SpongeBob and Patrick is sleeping and they both woke up when a car does a bump]
Patrick: Where are we?
SpongeBob: We must be dreaming!
Patrick: You amuse me, SpongeBob. [starts to clean out his glasses] Two people can't have the same dream, let alone be in that same dream at the same time. That would be philosophically untenable.
[Patrick starts wearing his glasses, while SpongeBob holds a book and a pipe]
SpongeBob: Indeed. You proffer a metaphysical conundrum.
Patrick: Wait, we're talking like smart people. This must be a dream!
[The glasses fall off.]
SpongeBob: Plus, we're on the surface and we're [sniffs air] breathing air, so... yeah.
[Patrick starts breathing in and out quickly.]
Patrick: Air?!
[They start laughing anyways until Patrick sees something.]
Patrick: Hey, town up ahead!
SpongeBob: "Goner Gulch." Ha! That's a funny name.
[They went to the Goner Gulch, but no one is in this place.]
Patrick: "The Inferno Saloon. Ye who enter here abandon all hope." Guess that's another way of saying "no public restrooms."
[They both get out of the car to find everyone in this palace.]
SpongeBob: Hello? [his voice echoes] Otto, keep it close.
Patrick: Yeah, don't go anywhere.
Otto: Going anywhere. It is my pleasure to serve. You're fired!
[Otto then drives anyways.]
SpongeBob: Oh! How are we gonna find Gary now?
Patrick: Maybe Otto just went to the park.
[A tumbleweed ran over SpongeBob and Patrick, looking shocked as the tumbleweed opens with a head revealed. It was Keanu Reeves as a tumbleweed.]
Sage: Hello.
SpongeBob: [yelps] Who are you?
Sage: I am a simple tumbleweed. Call me Sage.
SpongeBob: Sage.
Patrick: Hey, Sage. Good name.
Sage: Thanks. I'm made out of sage and I am a sage. So it works out pretty well.
[His eye glint chimes.]
Patrick: I'm Patrick. My name means "toaster" in Celtic.
Sage: Pretty sure it doesn't. This dream you share has a hidden purpose, young seekers.
SpongeBob: Oh! So we are in a dream!
Sage: And I, friend, am the dream weaver.
[The scene then zooms in on his eye and and inside, there is 3 Claymation cactus singing "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright. It then zooms out on Patrick with Sage in his eyes]
Patrick: Whoa, are you inside our minds right now?
Sage: Yes, Patrick!
Patrick: Wow!
Sage: I am here to help you on your journey, SpongeBob. But first, you must accept a challenge.
SpongeBob: But, I just want to find Gary and bring him home.
Sage: Do you love Gary?
SpongeBob: More than anything!
Sage: And, young sponge, once you meet this challenge you may pass on to find your precious Gary.
Patrick: Oh, right. That makes sense.
SpongeBob: Got it, right.
[Sage spits out the coin]
Patrick: Eww.
Sage: Take this challenge coin.
SpongeBob and Patrick: Challenge coin!
Sage: It will give you courage when bravery is in short supply.
SpongeBob: Whoa!
Patrick: Cool!
Sage: Now, your challenge lies behind these saloon doors.
SpongeBob: Let's go! Come on, Patrick.
Sage: Wait.
[They went inside the saloon door]
SpongeBob: Let's kill this challenge.
Sage: Wait, guys!
Patrick: Challenge coin coming through!
Sage: I didn't give you your challenge! Patience, Sage, patience.
[They went inside the saloon but without any people in it]
Patrick: Huh.
[They heard a noise and it was a piano playing by itself]
Patrick: Oh, cool. One of those old player pianos.
[It then plays by some zombie and laughs]
SpongeBob: Or one of those old player pianos.
[It now has many zombies enjoying the saloon with laughing heard with both looking scared]
SpongeBob and Patrick: Scary people!
Sage: Flesh-eating cowboy pirate zombies, to be precise.
SpongeBob: Flesh-eating cowboy pirate zombies?!
Sage: This is your challenge. Free these zombies from their earthly binds and release their souls.
Patrick: If this weren't a dream, I'd be freaking out right now!
SpongeBob: Oh, yeah! [giggles] We are in a dream. La, la-la, la-la, la, la. Okay everyone! We're here to release your imprisoned souls.
[A thunder is heard coming inside the saloon]
SpongeBob: What was that?!
Sage: Ah, El Diablo the Wicked approaches.
[It then cuts to where El Diablo is about to come with his horse cart with men singing]
♪ El Diablo, El Diablo. El Diablo, El Diablo. Very bad man. ♪
SpongeBob: El Diablo?
Sage: Master of the zombie crew.
Patrick: Uh-oh.
SpongeBob: He sounds bad.
Sage: Good luck.

El Diablo: So, you dare to enter the ghost town of the damned. Barged into my demon slayer telling my zombies that your gonna free their souls [starts to laugh then starts yelling] like it ain't nothing!
SpongeBob: Well, uh, Mr. Diablo, the good thing is we're in a dream.
Patrick: A shared dream.
SpongeBob: Right, a shared dream. So there's no need to get all bent out of shape about it. It's not real.
Patrick: 'Cause it's a dream.
El Diablo: Who told you that? The crazy bush guy?
Patrick: Uh...
SpongeBob: Maybe.
El Diablo: What he should've told you was it's not a dream!
[Lasers comes out of Diablo's eyes and zaps on SpongeBob and Patrick's cage.]
SpongeBob: He might be right, Patrick. That felt pretty real.
Patrick: Yeah, that really hurt.
[They both fall down]
SpongeBob: Run!
[They start chasing while El Diablo is gonna stab them both with his fire knife as they both went to the curtains]
SpongeBob: Hang on, Patrick. Foul demon, be gone!
[He then holds the challenge coin]
El Diablo: What the heck is that? What do I look like, a parking meter?
SpongeBob: But Sage said--
El Diablo: Coin laundry's right down the street. That's pathetic.
[SpongeBob and Patrick opens the curtains and the sun burns on El Diablo's hand, right into stabbing them]
El Diablo: Get away from those curtains!
SpongeBob: What? These curtains?
Patrick: Oh, these are nice curtains.
SpongeBob: Oh, they are. So soft.
[They keep opening to curtains that it keeps killing El Diablo]
Patrick: That's weird.
SpongeBob: These curtains are making a strange sound.
Patrick: I think the curtain rod need some oil
SpongeBob: Once the rod goes, you're probably better off getting a whole new set of curtains. Oh, Mr. Diablo, do you have any other cur--
[He stops when they turn around and gasp that El Diablo actually disintegrates thanks to them opening the curtains]
SpongeBob: Patrick, I think we should get... out of here!

Sage: More of a vision really.
SpongeBob: Sage?
Patrick: Oh. Hi, Sage.
Sage: Hello.
SpongeBob: You are real.
Sage: As real as you desire to see that which you cannot.
SpongeBob: Yeah, well, that which I cannot see is Gary. I got to know what's happening.
Sage: This wish I grant you. Through the mystical fabric of the fourth dimension, you may now view what's happening at the same time as things are happening to you. Behold. The Window of Meanwhile.
[He reveals the window to SpongeBob and Patrick]
Patrick: The Window of Meanwhile. What's it do?
Sage: It's like a Video on Demand service of parallel action. Have a look.
SpongeBob: Hey, uh, Patrick, down in front.
[The window reveal them about what happened to Gary]
SpongeBob: Look, Patrick, there he is.
Patrick: Yeah, he looks all right. Hey, Gary!
SpongeBob: He doesn't look so bad.
Patrick: He looks pretty comfy.
SpongeBob: No reason to panic.
Patrick: Yeah. He looks like he's well taken care of.
[We then see Chancellor hands over Gary to King Poseidon]
Chancellor: Look what I found. Snail time.
Poseidon: Hello, precious.
SpongeBob: Gary?
Poseidon: I hope you don't ran out of juice or you'll end up like the others.
SpongeBob: What?
[The flashback starts with Chancellor puts a snail in the disposer and sent to a torture chamber for snails with a punk guy whipping. Then the flashback ends with King Poseidon rubs Gary in his face]
Poseidon: Oh, yes.
SpongeBob and Patrick: Gary!
SpongeBob: Gary, hello?
Sage: Ok, The Window of Meanwhile doesn't really work that way.
SpongeBob: Gary, run! Get out of there!
Patrick: Gary!
Sage: It's not a video chat app like Skype or Facetime or anything.
SpongeBob: We got to hurry! Gary!
Patrick: Over here, Gary!
Sage: Totally can't hear you.
[His voice echo's. Then the scene transitions to the Krusty Krab, where it happened after the Krabby Patty riot. Then the letter "R" in the Krusty Krab logo falls. Later, Plankton then arrives]
Plankton: Hello, Eugene, old friend. How's business? Bad? Good. Well, that's restaurant for you, huh? Feast or famine. But I digress. Why don't you be a good little loser and hand over the secret formula?
[Mr. Krabs uses the world smallest key to open his belt and hand the smallest formula to Plankton]
Mr. Krabs: Take it. It's yours. Take it all.
[Plankton was excited at first, but he stops to see Mr. Krabs, looking all sad]
Plankton: Wait, you're giving up?
Mr. Krabs: Oh, Plankton. I wouldn't expect you to understand. But somehow, without SpongeBob, this whole thing, just doesn't make sense anymore!
Plankton: You can't do that. I've spent my entire career waiting for this moment and you roll over like a harpooned whale?! I WON'T LET YOU ROB ME OF MY VENGEANCE!
Mr. Krabs: Give my regards to your lovely wife.
[He starts to become sad and closes his office door]
Plankton: Huh. This doesn't, uh, feel quite good as, uh... Yay, I won.
[He then leaves. Meanwhile, the scene cuts to The Lost City of Atlantic City]
Otto: Congratulations. You have arrived at your destination.
SpongeBob: The Lost City of Atlantic city!
Patrick: It's pretty.
Sage: Beware, young seekers. All is distortion. If you aren't careful, The Lost City will draw you into her fickle embrace, blind you with her dazzling distractions and tempt you with her fleeting games of chance. Whatever you do, don't be led astray, don't lose focus, and don't forget why you came here.
SpongeBob: Thanks, Sage-meister.
Patrick: Don't forget. Good one. I think we got this.
SpongeBob: Yeah, Sage. I mean, you've been pretty good up until now, but I love Gary more than anything in the whooooole world! And we came here to get him back.
Sage: Okay.
SpongeBob: I wouldn't worry about us losing our focus.
Sage: Oh, boy.
SpongeBob: We got to focus to burn, baby--

Otto: I love money!
Patrick: Casino's are magical.
SpongeBob: Would you mind if I put this down, sir?
Casino Employee: Place it whatever you like.
Patrick: Just put it on L.
SpongeBob: Patrick, that's not an L, that's a 7.
Patrick: 7 starts with an L? That's weird.

Sage: Nice work, boys. Way to take my pearls of wisdom and flush them down the toilet.
SpongeBob: Oh, no. Oh, wait, did we--
Sage: Lose focus like I told you not to?
Patrick: Focus, huh?
Sage: Let me jangle your minds. You came here to get back something you lost.
SpongeBob: Uh...
Sage: Something you love.
SpongeBob and Patrick: Gary!
Sage: Yeah, Gary. Seriously, It's hard being stuck in a tumbleweed.
SpongeBob: Patrick, we got to find Gary!
Sage: The dealing with you two makes me want to light myself on fire.
SpongeBob: Sage, buddy. Can we please look into The Window of Meanwhile one more time to see where Gary is?
Sage: No! It's not an on-demand service. And especially not for people who pass out and sleep in their own vomit all night.
[Patrick tries to lick his drool.]
Patrick: It's not vomit, it's drool.
Sage: Fortunately for you, you woke up right here. On the steps of Poseidon's Palace.
[They look at the Poseidon's Palace]
SpongeBob: Whoa.
Patrick: Wow.
Sage: Now get it together. Go!
SpongeBob: All right, Gary. We're coming for ya!

Sandy: Don't you play coy with me, cephalopod. And you, arthropod.
Mr. Krabs: Ahh!
Sandy: Start talking, where is he? Tied up in the basement? Stuffed in your trunk?
Mr. Krabs: Nay, I could never harm the lad. His absence has taught me that much. And I'm not just talking about the money I'm losing with him gone.
[Sandy and Squidward looks at each other]
Mr. Krabs: Okay, fifty percent talking about the money and fifty percent talking about I truly miss the boy.
Sandy: Aw.
Squidward: I hate to admit it, but things aren't the same without him.
Mr. Krabs: There's no denying it. We need SpongeBob.
Sandy: Did anyone ever stop to think that he might need us?
Perch Perkins: (on TV) This is Perch Perkins coming to you from The Lost City of Atlantic City. I'm standing on the strip outside Poseidon's Palace and Casino, where two suspects have been--

Sandy: Mr. Krabs, what happened to Otto?
Mr. Krabs: Well, he took an automated vacation.
Perch Perkins: In a related story, Poseidon's Palace presents a command performance, featuring the execution of the suspects in the Aqua Room this Friday night.
Mr. Krabs: Execution of the suspects? What happened to habeas swordfish?
Perch Perkins: It's a fun-filled family event, with opening act, Kelpy G. One performance only, tickets still available.
Sandy: We got to go help them!
Mr. Krabs: We embark immediately.
[Plankton shows up]
Plankton: Excuse me. Can I tag along?
Mr. Krabs: Plankton? What have you got to do with this?
Plankton: I-I-I-I might have a teensy-weensy hand in a very--
Mr. Krabs: Yeah, yeah, we'll hear about it in the car. Mr. Squidward, are you coming?
Squidward: Ha! Fat chance.
[He then shows up right in front of Mr. Krabs and Sandy with his Kelpy G merch]
Squidward: Fat chance I'd miss a Kelpy G performance. I'm in!
Mr. Krabs: To the Pattymobile!
[They all run into a secret room under the Krusty Krab and run into the Pattymobile, but it's a Patty Wagon from the first movie]
Squidward: What? This old tub?
Sandy: Never judge a Pattymobile by it's bun, Squidward.
[she presses the button, allowing the Pattymobile to upgrade into a long patty with tomatoes and Ketchup and Mustard as speed. They then get in]
Sandy: Let's light this puppy!
[she closes the window and turns on the mobile and the car goes turbo]
Sandy: Yeehaw!
Squidward: Mommy!
[The Pattymobile stops and goes mega turbo. Then the scene cuts to jail where SpongeBob and Patrick lives, Patrick then plays with his piano toy, and SpongeBob falls]
Patrick: Huh? SpongeBob? Are you okay? Hey, buddy. Sorry about this.
SpongeBob: It's not your fault, Patrick. You've been a true friend this whole time. Never wavered, never flauntered. It's just... I failed, that's all! And I'll never see innocent little Gary again. Oh, my heart is broken!
[he then starts to cry]
Patrick: Oh, come on now. Buck up. It's not over yet, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: It sure feels over, and crappy.
Patrick: Just saying there's two sides to every coin.
SpongeBob: Oh, Patrick. What does a coin have to-- Wait, did you just say coin?
Patrick: Me? Uh, don't think so.
[the cow moos on the keyboard, causing Patrick to laugh]
SpongeBob: You did. You did say "coin!"
Patrick: Not remembering that exactly. [telephone noise] Hello?
SpongeBob: The challenge coin! Of course! Oh, don't you see, Patrick? We're saved!
Patrick: I said hello.
SpongeBob: [laughs] Patrick, its gone!
Patrick: Meh. Was the challenge coin really that useful? Hello? Oh! Stupid prank callers.
SpongeBob: Hey, wait a sec. I gave it to you, Remember? For safe keeping.
Patrick: No.
SpongeBob: Come on, it was last night! We were at the crappie tables.
Croupier: Winner! Place your bets.
Patrick: Come on, seven! Come on, seven! Come on, seven!
SpongeBob: You! You gambled away my challenge coin! You wrecked our entire mission with one stupid bet!
Patrick: Well, only after you kept saying...
SpongeBob: Let it ride, Patrick! Let it ride! [rips pants] Whoo!
Patrick: But SpongeBob, What if you need the challenge coin tomorrow to help you summon your courage?
SpongeBob: Tomorrow is for weenies! Whoo! [laughing]
Patrick: Well, its tomorrow and guess who's the weenie. [huffs]
SpongeBob: I...can't...believe you!
Patrick: You can't believe me? Are you serious right now? Well! Maybe you can believe this. I'm out of here! [He exits the cell, and walks into the cell next to it.]
SpongeBob: And don't come back!
Patrick: Oh, don't worry, I won't!
SpongeBob: Good!
Patrick: Ever!
SpongeBob: Fine!
Patrick: Super!
Sage: Hey, losers.
Patrick: Oh, hey Sage.
SpongeBob: Sage, glad your here. Guess who gambled away my challenge coin?
Patrick: Guess who blames everyone else for his troubles?
Sage: Enough!
[SpongeBob and Patrick look closely to Sage]
Sage: Did I mention you are the worst epic heroes for whom I've ever been a spirit guide.
SpongeBob: Um, I think we went over that this morning.
Patrick: I believe we did, yeah.
Sage: [sighs] SpongeBob, the coin was just a symbol. The courage you seek is inside you, not in the coin. And it will come to you in your hour of need.
SpongeBob: But, isn't this my hour of need?
Sage: [laughs] Oh, no. It gets way worse. [Rolls out of the scene] Bye!
SpongeBob: Worse?
Patrick: Dude said way worse.
Chancellor: Prepare the prisoners.
SpongeBob: Oh, that couldn't be for us.
Chancellor: It's your time to fry, I mean, shine.
SpongeBob: It Is us, Patrick. We're gonna die!
[the scene cuts to them still driving on the pattymobile]
Plankton: And that's how I got SpongeBob out of Bikini Bottom.
Mr. Krabs: Why, that's monstrous.
Squidward: Wait, that sounds good.
Sandy: Oh, brother.
Plankton: What do you expect, I'm evil.
Sandy: Let's just focus on the plan.
Mr. Krabs: We're approaching The Lost City of Atlantic City. Make way there, make way!
[They arrive to The Lost City of Atlantic City and they cross other cars and they finally land there with a tomato launched on a woman]
Old woman: Eww!
Squidward: "Sponge and Star Execution Extravaganza?"
Mr. Krabs: No time to lose!
[it cuts back to Tiffany]
Tiffany: Woop, woop, woop. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Aqua Room, y'all. The greatest show underwater.
Fan #1: We love you, Tiffany!
Tiffany: Yeah, holler at you, girl! Are you ready to be entertained? Hmm? I can't hear you? Are you ready to be entertained? All right then let's meet the contestants. A sponge and a star. Two of the ocean's most notorious criminals.
[a "Boo" sign appears and starts to buzzes and the audience start booing at SpongeBob and Patrick]
Tiffany: And in this corner, representing his majesty the king, Poseidon's very own Chancellor!
[a "Applause" sign appears and starts to buzzes and the audience start cheering at Chancellor]
Tiffany: Now, drumroll, Maestro. Put your fins together for the duke of the dirty deed, the earl of execution, that ax-wielding maniac, oh yeah, Lemont.
[a "Lemont" sign appears and starts to buzzes and the audience start chanting Lemont]
Tiffany: Ooh, I love me some Lemont. Mm, mm, mm. He's so strong.
[SpongeBob and Patrick starts gulping]
Tiffany: Ladies and Gentlemen, with a moment of smooth jazz in memory of the soon-to-be-goners, I give you Kelpy G.
[Mr. Krabs, Squidward, and Sandy starts sneaking. Then, Kelpy G starts playing "My Heart Will Go On" with Squidward feeling excited, but Mr. Krabs and Sandy puts his head to continue sneaking]
SpongeBob: Oh, Patrick. I feel terrible. I dragged you into this whole mess.
Patrick: It's okay, SpongeBob. I made a plea deal with the prosecution!
[Patrick and Chancellor starts thumbs up and winks at each other]
SpongeBob: Oh, that's good-- Wait, you did what?
Patrick: All I had to do is, uh, oh yeah, "Bring incriminating evidence against the defendant."
SpongeBob: Patrick, I'm the defendant.
Patrick: You are? Oh.
[Kelpy G finishes his song]
Poseidon: Let the proceedings begin!
Chancellor: Your honor, I would like to enter into evidence one sea snail. Name: Fred.
[Gary, now named Fred then shows up]
SpongeBob: Gary!
Chancellor: How dare you! That's about all I can say. How dare you come here to the sanctuary of our reversed sovereign, to rob him of very lifeblood, his adorable good looks.
Poseidon: [laughs] Go on.
Chancellor: How indeed dare you!
[Everyone starts jeering at them]
Poseidon: Guilty!
[A "Lemont" sign appears and starts to buzzes and the audience start chanting Lemont again. Lemont grabs his axe and chops his tree. SpongeBob and Patrick gets scared and grabs their hands. Mr. Krabs pulls the light switch and the lights are off. Sandy captures Chancellor and steals the spotlight]
Sandy: [screaming] Hold it! If It please the court, I'd like to say something in SpongeBob's defense.
Poseidon: It does not please the court. Sit down, squirrel with fishbowl on head!
Sandy: But, sire, a strong defense makes for a better show. Isn't that right, audience?
[The audience starts cheering while Chancellor, Lemont, and Tiffany are tied up with tape on their mouths and grunts]
Poseidon: All right, [screaming] All right! I'll allow it.
Sandy: Thank you, your honor. Ladies and gentlemen, SpongeBob has always been there for me. Even going all the way back to summer camp. In fact, that's where we all met.
[It transitions to a flashback to Kamp Koral and it cuts to a school bus being dropped off.]
Young SpongeBob: I-I-I-I'm--
[He fell down and land on a puddle. He then soaks it up and becomes bigger, but he squishes himself to let the water out]
Young SpongeBob: --Ready. Look at the cool activities! Camping, Canoeing, Seahorse back riding! Tug-of-war, Whale watching.
Whale: Do you mind?
Young SpongeBob: Juggling contest, Shrink-wrap soccer and more!
Young Sandy: Woo-hoo!
Young SpongeBob: Whoa!
Young Sandy: Hey, y'all critters of the sea. Look out below! I'm Sandy Cheeks from Texas.
Young SpongeBob: Hi Sandy, I'm SpongeBob.
Young Sandy: Pleased to meet ya.
Young SpongeBob: Does anyone wear spacesuits in Texas?
Young Sandy: They do if they want to visit you underwater creatures. We all breathe air on the surface. It's just our way of synthesizing oxygen. Same as you do with water.
Young SpongeBob: Whoa. Are you a scientist?
Young Sandy: Nah, I'm just a squirrel. I can't be a scientist. Even though, It's kind of my dream.
Young SpongeBob: Sandy Cheeks, you take that back! I bet you can do anything.
Young Sandy: Really? Wow.
[It cuts to her head with solar systems, rocks, and everything science related]
Young Sandy: Me as a scientist.
[A dinosaur roars]
Man: [In a voiceover sound] Science.
[The scene then cuts to normal]
Young Sandy: You're a hoot, little one. I'd be just as likely to live down here in a glass dome with a tree in it. Ha-ha!
Young SpongeBob: You never know.
[SpongeBob and Sandy stars punching their arms at each other and laugh, while Sandy punches him in the face, SpongeBob laughs anyways. Sandy joins the laughing. They both put their arms around each other and walk off together. Then the scene then transitions back to normal]
Sandy: He's the one that told me, no matter who I was or where I came from. I should follow my dream. That's a friend, people. And that's why in my eyes, SpongeBob is no criminal. He's the best little fella that ever walked the sea bottom and that's, that's just how I feel about it. So please, don't hurt him.
Patrick: This man broke the law!
[The crowd gasps]
Patrick: The law of "You should stay home and accept the fact that somebody stole your snail." The law of "There's probably nothing I can do about it." Well, in this sea star's opinion, those laws should be broken and SpongeBob is proof of it. All he's guilty of is having the fortitude to try and rescue a friend.
[Gary meows sadly]
Patrick: How do I know? Oh, I was just a lonely bump on a log when I first met him.
[It transitions to a flashback again where Young Patrick is crying alone]
Young SpongeBob: Hi, my name is--
[He interrupts by Patrick still crying]
Young SpongeBob: Hi, my name is--
[Patrick blows his tears to SpongeBob]
Young SpongeBob: [rapidly] Hello, my name is SpongeBob, what's your name?
Young Patrick: I'm Pa-Pa-Patrick.
Young SpongeBob: Why are you crying, Pa-Pa-Patrick?
Young Patrick: I'm homesick.
Young SpongeBob: Well, that's a pretty good reason. Maybe all you need is a friend.
Young Patrick: (crying) I don't have any friends!
Young SpongeBob: Well, you've got one now.
Young Patrick: Really? Who Is It?
Young SpongeBob: It's me.
Young Patrick: Do you mean it?
Young SpongeBob: Of course. Come on.
[He handed out some Jellyfish nets to Patrick and starts Jellyfishing. Then It transitions back to now]
Patrick: That sweet little sponge rescued this miserable little sea star. And things haven't changed that much today, your honor.
[He adds a heart hand sign to SpongeBob]
Patrick: My heart, buddy.
Squidward: I don't like SpongeBob. In fact, I revile him. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[Squidward begins to fall off]
Squidward: Anyway, I, too, met this nabob in summer camp. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was my big night. The Annual Camp Coral Talent Show.
[Larry plays "Flight of the Bumblebee"]
Squidward: And first prize was the coveted Campy Award.
Mrs. Puff: Thank you, Larry. Remember, people, don’t forget to vote.
[SpongeBob and Patrick vocalizing]
Squidward: As far as I was concerned. The trophy was good as mine.
Young SpongeBob: Hey Squidward-
Young Squidward: Bup, bup, bup, bup. Quiet. I’m in pregame right now. [Assembles his clarinet, closes his suitcase with his feet and presses the buttons on his clarinet.] I’ve got an award to win.
[On stage, an incidental fish puts a sword in the gill. Then, another incidental fish is in a toy boat whistling. Then, Sandy juggles with two connected saws. Then another incidental fish burps into a microphone. Then, another incidental fish is wearing ballerina clothes and dancing.]
Incidental Fish: ♪ La, la-la-la, [Jumps.] loo! [Falls.] La-la... ♪
[Afterwards, SpongeBob and Patrick are clapping hands.]
Young SpongeBob and young Patrick: ♪ Aka Waka Maka Mia was a puffer fish. [Armpit fart.] ♪
[The audience cheers]
Young Squidward: That Campy is mine.
Squidward: I bathed the audience with the sounds of my heavenly clarinet playing.
[He then starts playing "My Heart Will Go On" but he plays off-key, while a kid barfs. He then take a bow and leaves]
Mrs. Puff: Thank you, Squidward. Just lovely. Thank you, thank you.
[Then, a someone threw a tomato at Squidward nearly, but Mrs. Puff sees who's throwing, but the people are voting instead]
Mrs. Puff: And the Campy goes to…
Young Squidward: I'll take that.
Mrs. Puff: …SpongeBob and Patrick!
Young Squidward: Huh?
[The audience cheering at SpongeBob and Patrick for having their Campy]
Young Squidward: No! No! No!
[The audience stop cheering]
Young Squidward: This isn't happening! [crying] No! Mommy!
[He ran away, crying and went to his cabin being saddened]
Squidward: I was robbed. And never to play the clarinet again.
Young Squidward: No…
Young SpongeBob: Squidward.
Young Squidward: Go away!
Young SpongeBob: Patrick and I were, um, talking to one of the counselors and guess what? There was a big mistake and you actually won the Campy Award!
[He holds his Campy Award and hands him to Squidward]
Young Patrick: That's right. Yup.
Young Squidward: I… I did?
Young SpongeBob: In a landslide.
Young Squidward: Hmm. So weird they would've miscounted like that. But I guess it's possible.
Young SpongeBob and Patrick: Yay!
Young SpongeBob: Nice work, Squidward.
Young Patrick: No one deserves it more.
Young Squidward: Wow!
Young SpongeBob: And don't ever stop playing this.
Young Squidward: My clarinet. Look at me. I really did it!
Young SpongeBob and Patrick: Yay!
[It transitions back to now again]
Squidward: Which is why, even though I can't stand SpongeBob… but at the same time, well… I love him.
[SpongeBob gasps in excitement]
Squidward: I love him, and I hate him.
SpongeBob: Oh.
Squidward: He's like ice cream with salt on it, because he's sweet and super annoying. He's nice and nails-on-chalkboard annoying! Okay, fine, he's mostly super freaking annoying. But, this little nattering noodge… is my friend. And he doesn't deserve to die.
[Gary meows]
[Kelpy G plays a sad note]
Mr. Krabs: I'll be saying my piece now, if it be pleasing the court. [clears throat] I suppose I could stand up here and tell you how SpongeBob changed me life.
[The scene transitions to an flashback where Young SpongeBob orders a Krabby Patty at camp.]
Mr. Krabs: But, I won't. I might even speak about how he inspired me when I was just a small-time vendor with a broken-down luncheonette. But I won't. Heck, I'd probably mention how he encouraged me to start up me own restaurant.
Young SpongeBob: You should open up your own restaurant, someday.
[The scene transitions to now]
Mr. Krabs: The Krusty Krab, made famous by me delicious Krabby Patties!
[He holds coupons for the Krusty Krab and hand it to a person]
Mr. Krabs: Two-for-one Wednesdays, by the way. Pass these around. But, I won't. Nay, you'll hear none such praise from me. Because it wouldn't do him full justice. It wouldn't begin to describe the size of the lad's heart. Which is huge. And he puts that heart into everything he does. The cooking…
[The scene transitions to SpongeBob at the Krusty Krab]
SpongeBob: Order up!
Mr. Krabs: The cleaning...…serving up the delicious Krabby Patties.
[The scene transitions back to now]
Mr. Krabs: But that's the funny thing. I used to think me secret Krabby Patty formula was also the secret to me success. We serve breakfast till 11, by the way, 12 on weekends. It wasn't until SpongeBob came to work for me that I realized the formula is more than just a list of ingredients and flavor-capturing methods. It's more than a jealously guarded recipe. The real secret formula is sitting right here, SpongeBob SquarePants.
[SpongeBob starts to cry with excitement with heart shaped tears as bubbles]
Sandy: [whispering to SpongeBob] Get ready.
Mr. Krabs: Ahem! Maestro?
[playing "The Secret Formula is You"]
Plankton: ♪ A formula is something like a recipe, a recipe is something like a plan. With elements and measurements, all mixed together by a steady hand ♪
Mr. Krabs: ♪ But careful you must be or you'll be sad you see. If somehow in the mix, It has no soul ♪
Squidward: ♪ So what's the one ingredient that turns this awesome sauce to liquid gold? ♪ I'll tell ya!
All: ♪ The secret to the formula Is you, you, you, you. The honey in my tea, you know Is you, you, you, you. The bubbles in the boil, the one essential oil
It's true. The secret to the formula Is you, you (SpongeBob!), you, you ♪
Sandy: ♪ What in the wide watery world would it be like without you? ♪
All: ♪ The secret to the formula Is you, you, you, you. The honey in my tea, you know Is you, you, you, you. The bubbles in the boil, the one essential oil
It's true. The secret to the formula Is you, you (SpongeBob!), you, you ♪
Poseidon: So entertaining!
[The music finally ends and they all leave and the audience cheers with Squidward comes out and bows while Mr. Krabs grabs him]
Poseidon: Ha! Hilarious!
[He grabs Gary to rub his face, but it's actually a cardboard version of Gary and it falls into pieces]
Poseidon: My snail!
[He pause and he realize his snail was gone and was took by SpongeBob, SpongeBob and Patrick are also took by Sandy, Squidward, Mr. Krabs and Plankton]
Poseidon: Halt! It's a trick! Seize them!
[The scene then cuts to them running with knights chasing them]
SpongeBob: Gary, you're with me now. I'll never let anyone take you again.
[Gary meows]
Plankton: Faster!
[Patrick stops and notice that there's food on the table]
Patrick: Whoa!
SpongeBob: Patrick, what are you doing?
Patrick: Free food.
[Patrick turns around and saw some knight's and he screams and he put all of his chicken in his pants, his mouth, and his bucket until SpongeBob grabs him]
Plankton: Come on, come on, in here!
[SpongeBob closes the door so the knight's won't come]
Plankton: Inside, quick!
[The rest gets on the knight armor but Patrick gets stuck so Plankton pushes his butt to get in, but he sinks away, while the kinghts are trying to open the door]
Plankton: Come on!
Patrick: Push! Push Plankton!
Plankton: You got to be kidding me!
Knights: Hah!
[The knights spread out and find them. The other knight slice the knight armor and its not here. While the living knight armor pokes at the knight]
Knight: Hmm?
[the living knight armor punches him and the other knights look at the living knight and it is Plankton]
Plankton: Peekaboo! [cackles] Attack!
[The rest gets in the armor]
Mr. Krabs: Ha-hah!
Knights: Attack!
Plankton: Whoa! Watch your left flank, people! Thrust! Now parry! Now pirouette. Turn around. Pivot! Pull harder. Faster! To the right!
[The knight attacks a leg while Sandy in the armor kicks him]
Sandy: Hi-ya!
[The knight armor got slipped by cannonballs]
Patrick: Whoa, whoa! [yells]
[the armor got slammed in a wall and the other knights look at a exorcist knight armor and they all screamed with their bones released]
Mr. Krabs: Do you think we should've stayed in there with Squidward?
Patrick: Nah, he's got it.
Squidward: Where is everybody?!
Knights: Charge!
Squidward: Whoa!
[The knight armor sits by fire and the knights ran away and got slip by a chicken bucket and falls]
SpongeBob: Squidward!
[the rest goes to save Squidward]
All: Squidward! Fall this way! No, this way!
[Although Squidward falls the other way and crashed]
Patrick: Oh. Man down.
Squidward: Good catch.
Knights: Hey, there they are! Get them!
[Otto then appears]
Otto: Yo, what's up?
All: Otto!
Otto: I have a gambling problem.
Plankton: Otto!
Otto: Could anyone lend me some money?
Plankton: To Bikini Bottom! And step on it!
Otto: Stepping on it.
[they all missed by Otto and Otto drives by herself]
Otto: You're all fired.
Mr. Krabs: To the valet!
[They all went, but got surrounded by knights]
Poseidon: Leaving so soon, kids?
Gary: [anxious meow]
SpongeBob: Hang on, Gary. I won't let you go.
Poseidon: Tsk, tsk. Rather impolite, don't you think?
Mr. Krabs: It was all their idea, sire.
Poseidon: And I…loved it!
SpongeBob: Wait, so you're not mad at us?
Poseidon: [laughing] No! It's been a while since I've enjoyed such toe-tapping entertainment. All is forgiven! And all charges are dropped.
All: Hooray!
Poseidon: On one condition. SpongeBob will return my snail to me without any more shilly-shally.
SpongeBob: Wait, what?
Poseidon: Just hand over the snail and you can all go free.
SpongeBob: But… I… I…
Sage: SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: Sage? Is that you?
Sage: Hello.
SpongeBob: Sage! Hi!
Sage: Remember… The courage you seek is inside you. And it will come to you in your hour of need.
SpongeBob: The courage is inside me. The courage is inside me! [to Poseidon] Mr. Poseidon, no. I'm sorry, but I won't do it.
Poseidon: [laughs] What?
SpongeBob: I love Gary too much, and he loves me. If we didn't have each other, we'd be so sad. Well… It wouldn't really matter what you'd do to us.
Gary: [meows]
SpongeBob: And look. Today, thanks to these amazing friends, my heart feels twice as big as it ever did. Especially after what they risked for me: Flouting the law and defying the mighty king of the sea.
[King Poseidon lights his trident]
Poseidon: Defying? Really?
Sandy: I wouldn't say defying the king.
SpongeBob: Humiliating you in front of your subjects.
Poseidon: Do go on.
Mr. Krabs: More like admiring.
Patrick: And totally agreeing with!
Squidward: I just came to see Kelpy G.
SpongeBob: And they did it all for me. I'm sure you'd understand if you had friends like these.
Poseidon: Friends like these? Wait, what? Friends like these? [chuckles] Of course I have friends like these. I have all kinds of friends! I have buddies, I have besties. I have home-slices, palsy-walsies. It's infinite! Chancellor! Give us an exact number. The friend count, if you will.
Chancellor: Uh, okay, according to your latest polling data, we should get more polling data.
Poseidon: What? Give me that.
[He snatches and reads the poll results and he finds out that its bad]
Poseidon: Huh? What about my adoring fans?
Chancellor: Nope.
Poseidon: -My elite palace guards?
Chancellor: Mm-mm.
Poseidon: What about my personal trainer?
Chancellor: Mmm… Mm-mm.
Poseidon: My therapist?
Chancellor: Nada.
Poseidon: My tattoo artist?
Chancellor: Uh…nope.
Poseidon: My tattoo removal artist?
Chancellor: No dice.
Poseidon: B-But surely you, my chancellor, my loyal faithful…?
Chancellor: Sorry.
Poseidon: [sobs] Apollo, take me now. I don't have any friends!
SpongeBob: Well, you got one now!
Poseidon: Really? Who is it?
SpongeBob: It's me! I'll be your friend.
Poseidon: Do you mean it?
SpongeBob: Yes. But friends don't kidnap friends' pet snails.
Gary: [meows]
Poseidon: But I need that snail. Look, I have a horrible, disgusting wrinkle.
SpongeBob: Jumping jellyfish! It's the size of the Mariana Trench!
Poseidon: [moaning sob]
SpongeBob: [laughs] Kidding! Looks don't matter. We don't care about little imperfections. Or even big ones! Just look at Squidward.
Squidward: What's that supposed to mean?
SpongeBob: What's important is what's inside. And I'm sure you can be a fair and kind king to all the creatures of the sea. I know you've got it in you, sir. If you'd just let your hair down a little.
Poseidon: Huh? My hair? Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that I don't need this gorgeous mane of wavy locks?
[He takes of his wig and the knights cheering]
Poseidon: That I don't require this neck clip?
[He also takes off his clip and his body turns old]
Poseidon: Be gone, perfect shiny teeth!
[he also removes his giant teeth and throws it at Squidward]
Poseidon: This is so freeing! To heck with this chest plate and girdle.
[He removed his armor and his large belly is shown]
SpongeBob: Oh, wow.
Poseidon: Too far?
SpongeBob: No! Not at all!
[all overlapping]
Knights: No, you look great!
Poseidon: Oh, thank you! I find this so exhilarating. So… age appropriate. SpongeBob, few possess the courage to stand up to a powerful king. You, sir, are among those few. I salute you.
Sage: Nailed it, SpongeBob. Sage out.
Poseidon: You may keep Gary. And I wish you many happy years together.
SpongeBob: Thank you! [to Gary] Did you hear that, Gare-Bear?
Gary: [meows]
Chancellor: Uh, your royal robe, Your Highness. It's getting cold out here.
Poseidon: Nonsense, Chancellor. I'm free!
Chancellor: Ooh, you certainly are.
Poseidon: And free the snails!
[all the snails are now free]
Gary: [meows]
SpongeBob: What's that? All of them?
[The scene transitions the next morning and cuts to SpongeBob's house, with "Take On Me" by Weezer playing]
SpongeBob: I'm home!
[meows]
SpongeBob: Hello, Gary. Hello, Brian.
[all the other snails came]
SpongeBob: Hello, Janet. Hello, June. Hola, Lupe.
[The scene then cuts to what we see with people and snails]
Male fish: Morning, Sally!
Female fish: Hi, Brett!
[Sandy is shown as a hall monitor and two snail is shown, but is slow. Then the scene cuts to snail store. Then it cuts to Gary on a slide]

[Gary then come out with a terrified meow, but stops, knowing he likes it.]
SpongeBob: Yeah!
[The scene then cuts to the two snails still going, then cuts to Patrick looking for his snail]
Patrick: Fabio! Where are you, buddy? Here, Fabio, Fabio, Fabio!
[Fabio is on Patrick's back. Then the scene cuts to the two snails still going and cuts to Plankton]
Plankton: Come on, Fifi. No.
[He noticed that his snail is fallen in love with Otto's snail. Then the scene then cuts to the two snails but with even more snails, then cuts at Squidward's house where Squidward is painting for his snail, then it cuts to Mr. Krabs handing his Krusty Krab sign to a snail, then it cuts to the Krusty Krab]
SpongeBob: Order up!
[He launches a Krabby Patty to his mouth and launched at another snail and the snail drops it. Then it cuts to a clam crowing and a sign says "Sea Snail Refugee" with a snail looking at the screen. Then the movie ends with a memorial to Stephen Hillenburg, with a drawing of his original drawing of SpongeBob. Then the credits starts to roll with Concept arts and movie scenes with "Agua" by J Balvin playing]
