==Plot==
A squirrel escapes from captivity into the water.

Five years later, SpongeBob jellyfishing in [[Jellyfish Fields]]. Shortly after, he spots somebody wrestling a giant clam. He takes out his field guide book, and identifies her as a 'land squirrel'. SpongeBob thinks she is in trouble, and goes to wrestle the clam himself.

The squirrel manages to escape the clam, but SpongeBob ends up inside of it. The squirrel then rescues SpongeBob, and throws the clam out of the area. The squirrel introduces herself as [[Sandy Cheeks]]. SpongeBob inquires about the helmet she wears, and Sandy tells him that it is her air helmet. SpongeBob does not know what air is, but claims to love it to impress her. Sandy then invites him to her [[Sandy's Treedome|Treedome]] for "Texas tea" and cookies. SpongeBob quickly runs over to [[Patrick Star|Patrick]] and tells him everything that happened. He tells SpongeBob that 'putting on airs' is fancy talk. Patrick tells SpongeBob to hold his pinky finger up high if he wants to be fancy.

SpongeBob later arrives at Sandy's Treedome, and the water level drops. He panics and tells Sandy that there is no water. She tells him that there is only air. SpongeBob lies about him having no problem, and he tries hard to breathe. He does not realize that sea creatures breathe water to survive.

Sandy gives SpongeBob a tour of her Treedome, showing him her oak tree house, a bird bath, among other things. During this, SpongeBob quickly sneaks over to the bird bath, which is filled with water; he eventually figures out that he needs water to breathe. SpongeBob gives Sandy some flowers, and she gets a vase for them.

Meanwhile, Patrick, watching from outside the Treedome, tells SpongeBob to keep his pinky finger up high. Sandy comes back and puts the flowers in a vase filled with water on the picnic table. SpongeBob tries to resist drinking the water while Sandy gets the tea and cookies. SpongeBob eventually drinks it and runs for the door, declaring that he is a quitter. Patrick thinks SpongeBob is shy of Sandy, and he enters the Treedome and tries to convince him to stay.

After a moment, Patrick also realizes that there is no water. The two struggle to leave the Treedome. Both Patrick and SpongeBob eventually dry up on the grass. Sandy eventually returns and gives them water-filled helmets.

In the end, proposes a toast to new friends, and they drink their tea. SpongeBob and Patrick gulp down the tea-filled water in their new helmets, with their pinky fingers pointing up.

'''Help Wanted''' is the opening, pilot, and debut episode of [[Episodes/Season 1|Season 1]]. It is about a sea sponge named SpongeBob SquarePants who wants a job at a local restaurant, the Krusty Krab. But before he receives his job, he must pass an almost impossible test.

==Info==

===Characters===
*[[SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob]]
*[[Patrick Star|Patrick]]
*[[Squidward Tentacles|Squidward]]
*[[Gary the Snail|Gary]]
*[[Eugene H. Krabs|Mr. Krabs]]
*[[Anchovy|Anchovies]]

===Places===
*[[SpongeBob's House]]
*Outside [[Squidward's House]]
*Outside [[Patrick's House]]
*[[Krusty Krab]]
*[[Barg'n Mart]]

==Plot==
SpongeBob's foghorn alarm clock rings, waking him up in the morning. He tells his pet, Gary the Snail that he must be in good shape because this particular day is important. He jumps off of his diving board and lands in his pants. He goes to his exercise room and lifts a bar-weight (which is actually two stuffed animals). Afterwards, SpongeBob exclaims that he is ready.
He runs outside and down the street to the Krusty Krab, repeatedly saying, "I'm ready" while his neighbor and best friend, Patrick Star, cheers him on. SpongeBob sees the 'Help Wanted' sign on the Krusty Krab window. He then declares that he is ready to obtain the job, which he has been dreaming of for years; however, he loses his confidence. Patrick convinces him to apply for the job, and so SpongeBob does, thereby declaring he is ready three more times. Squidward Tentacles, the head cashier, is cleaning the window (above his head the word 'loser' is written on the glass pane). Squidward sees that SpongeBob wants the job, and so he tells restaurant-owner Eugene H. Krabs that SpongeBob does not qualify for the job. SpongeBob walks into the Krusty Krab and asks for the job. To get rid of him, Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that he can join the 'Krusty Crew' if he passes a "test"--which is to obtain a 'Hydrodynamic Spatula with Port and Starboard Attachments and a Turbo-Drive'.
As soon as SpongeBob leaves, two fisherman named Mr. Fisherman and Mr. Fisherboy find the Kursty Krab and use their claws to take them to the surface (operation 2515-127). About to be experimented on, SpongeBob arrives, flying by with his 'Hydrodynamic Spatula with Port and Starboard Attachments and a Turbo-Drive'. Mr. Krabs is flabbergasted at the fact that SpongeBob actually passed the "test". SpongeBob rescues the two and return underwater.
Mr. Krabs hires SpongeBob by welcoming him to the Krusty Crew and giving him a name tag. At the end, Patrick walks in and asks for a Krabby Patty, which causes SpongeBob to race into the kitchen and make a huge stream of Krabby Patties, which then hits Patrick and sends him flying out of the restaurant & Squidward begins yelling to Mr. Krabs, saying, "Mr. Krabs! Mr. Krabs! Mr. Krabs, come see your new employee.". The fisherman are angry and vow to catch SpongeBob.

==Animation style==
This episode is the first, so it has many differences to the rest of the series. However, the original version of the episode had many other minor differences corrected later. For example, this episode (along with Pickles, Employee of the Month, and One Krab's Trash) is the only episode where SpongeBob's bed is on the right. Differences in voices are another example. SpongeBob's voice is slightly lower and Patrick's is deeper. Designs and colors are also different. For example, SpongeBob has fewer holes than in newer episodes and brighter yellow skin, Mr. Krabs' eyelids are pinkish red opposed to red, Mr. Krabs' left (right from our perspective) eye winks while he laughs, Squidward's complexion is brighter, his laugh is different, and the comedic "splat" sound is different. Gary's eye pupils and irises are smaller with a different tone of voice in the "meow" (although [[Tom Kenny]] claims to use a new "meow" for each episode where Gary is shown meowing). Squidward also appears to have rows of sticks behind his house. Differences in SpongeBob's house are also present in this episode, but not in others, such as there is only one window in the front. Also, SpongeBob's alarm clock has the same ship horn sound but echoes. The changes were made when the series officially aired.

==A Goof + A Gaff = A Laugh==
*In the "written by" section of the opening credits, [[Stephen Hillenburg]] is incorrectly spelled as Stephen Hilleburg.
*[[Guest Stars|Tiny Tim]]'s "''[[Living In The Sunlight, Loving In The Moonlight (Song)|Living in the Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight]]''" is featured in the episode.
*During "[[Living In The Sunlight, Loving In The Moonlight (Song)|Living in the Sunlight, Loving in the Moonlight]]", Tiny Tim sings ''"Just take it from me, I'm just free as any daughter"'', but the captions read, ''"Just take from me, I'm just free as any brother"''.
*The animation was not as high quality unlike the following episodes, as the rapid movements made by SpongeBob. When he was bouncing off the walls, roof, and floor of the Krusty Krab it just showed a yellow square. When the anchovies were jumping up and down they were just blue and brown (mostly blue) finger-shaped ovals.
*Initially, the debut episode was not included on the SpongeBob season 1 DVD set, presumably because of music licensing issues involving the aforementioned song. However, the episode has since been made available on the DVD release of the third season as a bonus feature,and on the [[10 Happiest Moments (DVD)|10 Happiest Moments]] DVD as a bonus episode.
*Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Patrick, and SpongeBob all have a different tone in skin color than in other episodes.
*Mr. Krabs' eyelids are pink in this episode. In every other episode, they are red.
*[[SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob]] couldn't have cooked the [[Krabby Patty|Krabby Patties]] because [[Mr. Krabs]] hasn't given him the formula yet.
*In this episode, Gary's eye pupils are red dots, but in further episodes they are black dots in red dots.
*It's unknown how SpongeBob got into the Krusty Krab when the door was blocked by anchovies.
*This is the first episode to use traditional cel animation
*A Gastropod first meaw because they are equivalent to cats, rays have not shown yet.
*[[Guest Stars|Tiny Tim]] died about 3 years before this episode premiered. He died on November 30, 1996.
