Transcript

(the episode begins with a opening narration)

Ricky Gervais: 10 years ago, an unknown pirate from Encino began a decade-long obsession with TV's most beloved an absorbent sponge. And today, a mere 10 years later obviously 10 years ago I said that he has traveled all the way to a far off land known as Burbank. To find Nicktoons animation studio and meet his idol face to face for the first time in 10 years it's 10 years ago. It's 10 years ago. Let's see what happens, yeah. (live-action part of the episode begins. We see posters of SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora Marquez from Dora the Explorer, Cosmo and Wanda from The Fairly OddParents, Uniqua from The Backyardigans, Diego from Go Diego Go, Max and Ruby from Max & Ruby, Kiki, Shout, Marina and Twist from The Fresh Beat Band, Kai-lan from Ni-hao Kai-lan, Skipper from The Penguins of Madagascar, and Carly from iCarly. Patchy gets out of the car)

Patchy: Oh. Bye, mom. Thanks for the lift. Hey kids. Isn't this exciting? I'm here at Nickelodeon, home of SpongeBob SquarePants and I'm gonna ask him if he'll be my guest of honor on my tenth fan-iversary TV special! Come on. Ahoy.

Security Guard: Sir, may I help you?

Patchy: Yes. This is Patchy the Pirate for SpongeBob SquarePants. I believe he's expecting me. I sent him over 400 letters this week.

Security Guard: Uh, yes. SpongeBob is not here right now sir.

Patchy: That's okay. I can wait. Oh, SpongeBob!

Security Guard: Sir, please step away from the gate.

Patchy: Aw, poopdeck. I was hoping I could ask SpongeBob to phone up some of his famous friends so he could ask them to be guests on my show.

Security Guard: Uh-huh. Oh. You're here for the casting department.

Patchy: Yeah.

Security Guard: In that case, please step right inside, sir. (Patchy thrusts his arm and mouths the word, "yes." Patchy follows the security guard inside. Inside, Patchy and the security guard walk down a hallway where a cardboard cutout of SpongeBob and a model of SpongeBob made out of Lego bricks are seen. Patchy jumps up in the air and laughs. He returns to the ground)

Patchy: Woo! Oh, hey, when'll SpongeBob be here? Where's he? At lunch? At an important meeting?

Security Guard: I'm not sure, sir.

Patchy: Getting his boat waxed?

Security Guard: This way, sir.

Patchy: What's he really like?

Security Guard: This way, sir.

Patchy: Does he come in everyday?

Security Guard: Go this way.

Patchy: Does he dye his hair?

Security Guard: Walk this way, sir.

Patchy: Huh? (the scene shifts to show a room. It has a couch, a TV, a poster for The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, and an animation cel of SpongeBob at the Krusty Krab. The security guard opens the door. Patchy walks in)

Security Guard: Here you are, sir. Please wait here while you wait. (Patchy sits down on the couch) Can I get you anything, sir?

Patchy: Yeah. A shrimp cocktail. (Patchy chuckles. The security guard puts his hand out and then back in with a shrimp cocktail. He gives it to Patchy) Ooh! Now, that's what I call service... (the security guard smiles) with a smile! (smiles. The security guard closes the door, and the SpongeBob part of the episode begins with the title card and opening credits. The episode proper begins showing the three houses of Conch Street at night. The scene transitions to morning. The scene changes to SpongeBob's bedroom, where Gary's shell is shaking with a blanket on top of it. Next to Gary is an traditional alarm clock)

Gary: (in his shell) Meow. (the alarm clock goes off) Meow. (Gary's head pops out of his shell) Meow. (a long line of alarm clocks go off, which leads from Gary, who is in the front of the bed to a foghorn alarm clock. It goes off and spits out more alarm clocks. SpongeBob wakes up. He gets out of bed and turns the alarm clocks off)

SpongeBob: Good morning, Gary!

Gary: (angrily) Meow.

SpongeBob: A little overboard? And take a chance at being late for the single most greatest day of my career. (the shot widens and a thought bubble appears. It shows the Krusty Krab) The eleventy-seventh anniversary of the Krusty Krab. (leans near Gary and shakes his head) Oh, oh, oh, I think not. (returns to his previous position) No self-respecting Krusty Krab employee would be late on this day. (he scene changes to show the exterior of SpongeBob's pineapple, where SpongeBob's door open and a line of alarm clocks are leading to the inside of a house. The camera follows the alarm clocks to the door and then moves up. A voice is heard muttering)

Voice: What the? (the scene returns to SpongeBob's room. He is yelling out of his window)

SpongeBob: See you at the big event, Squidward! (gets hit with an alarm clock. This causes him to fly and land next to Gary. Gets up) Can you believe that it's been eleventy-seven years already?

Gary: (snidely) Meow, meow, meow.

SpongeBob: Oh, watch the potty mouth, Gare. Today is a day for gentle reflection. Aw, I remember my first visit to the Krusty Krab. (flashback begins. It shows the exterior of the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob's Mom and Dad are walking to it. The scene shifts to show Harold and Margaret SquarePants)

Harold SquarePants: I don't know. This doesn't seem like a family restaurant.

Margaret SquarePants: Oh. (zoom out to reveal that she is pregnant with SpongeBob) Well, what do you think, baby? Should we eat here? (the scene moves to show the inside of Margaret's womb. SpongeBob swims off-screen. The scene returns to show Margaret. She is moved inside to the front of the cash register boat) Well, okay, then. (the scene returns to the womb and SpongeBob is next to Margaret's belly button which looks like a window. Margaret's voice is echoing) What would you like? (SpongeBob looks out Margaret's belly button and sees the Galley Grub)

SpongeBob: Krabby Patty! (the scene changes to show Margaret and Harold sitting at a table eating Krabby Patties. In the womb, SpongeBob is eating the Krabby Patties through the umbilical cord) Yummy! (takes the cord, rips it out, and sucks on the cord. The flashback ends and SpongeBob is shown laying on the ground being held up by his elbows) Good times. (an alarm clock appears. SpongeBob jumps up and starts running in the air) Oh, sorry, Gary, we can reminisce later. I gotta get ready. (SpongeBob runs off-screen and Gary hisses at the alarm clock. The alarm clock "runs" away. The scene changes to show SpongeBob with a towel around his waist in the bathroom. He turns on the shower and takes the towel off. The scene shows SpongeBob showering)

I never thought that I would have a chance like this.
What dreams exist as big as this one? If happiness are patties frying on the grill, I'll have my fill, upon each fresh bun. 
Here's a day that couldn't get much better. 
It is the greatest that's ever been.
It's so cool I ought'a wear a sweater, just to hold on to that warm feeling.
A miracle is something that you don't believe, you will receive, and then it happens. 
This is what I have to call a miracle, my heart is full and toes are tapping. 

Here's a day that couldn't get much better.
It is the greatest that's ever been.
It's so cool I ought'a wear a sweater, just to hold on to that warm feeling.
Sure I know it's gonna take a lot of work, but here's the perk, I think I must say.
When you're doing something that you really love, and so proud of, then work is like play.

Here's a day that couldn't get much better.
It is the greatest that's ever been. 
It's so cool I ought'a wear a sweater, just to hold on to that warm feeling.

(SpongeBob melts through the ice cube. He falls into a soda. He gets sucked up by a straw, which is being sucked up by SpongeBob. SpongeBob then jumps away. The scene changes to black and then shows the exterior of SpongeBob's pineapple. He opens the door and starts to jog to the Krusty Krab. A crash is heard off-screen. The scene moves to the origin of the crash. SpongeBob is laying down behind a line of fish)

Harold: Hey, hey. Chill out, buddy. We all want to get into the Krusty Krab as much as you do. (camera reveals the line goes all of the way to the Krusty Krab. The scene returns to SpongeBob. He looks at his watch)

SpongeBob: But I don't have time to wait in line. Sorry, but I can't be late today. (steps on people's head's to get to the Krusty Krab)

Mable-Monica: Ah!

Isabelle Fish: Ooh!

Sadie: What the?

Frankie Billy: Hey!

Fred: Ah!

Tom: Eh!

Shubie: Uh!

SpongeBob: Sorry, everyone, but Mr. Krabs needs me. (more fish make annoyed noises. Once SpongeBob reaches the end, the scene changes to the interior of the Krusty Krab. The scene shows several fish waiting on the door. Squeezes himself through the cracked between the doors and the ground. Enters the Krusty Krab. Lands in the arms of Mr. Krabs) Reporting for duty, sir. (salutes Krabs. He puts SpongeBob down in a seat next to Squidward)

Mr. Krabs: Sit down, boy.

SpongeBob: Happy eleventy-seventh, Squidward.

Mr. Krabs: (walking past the table) Today's a big a day for the Krusty Krab. (Mr. Krabs ends up at a button) So I want yous to listen up. (pushes the button. It causes a shield to go around the Krusty Krab) It's a perfect opportunity for Plankton to try and steal the Krabby Patty formula. (pulls a lever that looks like a handle on a table. It causes a panel to open. The table goes down the panel and is replaced by a hologram table. It turns on a hologram of the Krusty Krab)

Squidward: Isn't that just the Krusty Krab?

Mr. Krabs: No. It's a holographic projection of the Krusty Krab. I want you two to watch all the entrances.

Squidward: You mean the front door and the back door? (Mr. Krabs pushes a button on the hologram table)

Mr. Krabs: Those are just the ones on the surface. (the hologram expands to show the duct work) There is an entire network of tunnels and air ducts underground and I want all eyes on the look out!

SpongeBob: Aye, aye, Mr. Krabs. (eyes grow on SpongeBob, filling his holes)

Mr. Krabs: Right. Study the map, stay extra vigilant. Don't fall asleep on the job. That means you, Squidward.

Squidward: What? I have never fallen asleep on duty.

Mr. Krabs: Don't make me have a flashback. (a flashback begins. It shows Squidward sleeping at his station. Fred is on the other side of the Cash register. The scene changes to show SpongeBob opening the Krusty Krab broom closet to find Squidward sleeping. The scene changes to show a close shot of Frankie Billy about to eat a patty at the Krusty Krab.

Squidward: All right, point taken. (Mr. Krabs turns off the hologram)

Mr. Krabs: And to help watch out for Plankton, I've hired some extra security. (a dark figure is shown in the corner. It walks into the light. It is revealed to be Patrick. He has an angry look on his face. He smacks his fist into his palm)

Squidward: (while Patrick is walking to them) You hired Patrick?

Mr. Krabs: What, you expect me to spend money on a real security guard? You are my first line of defense, Patrick. So, look out for any suspiciorous characters.

Patrick: (no longer having an angry face; saluting) Yes, sir. (surveys the area. Sees Squidward and pushes him to the wall) Who are you, and who are you working for?! (Mr. Krabs chuckles)

Mr. Krabs: Plankton doesn't stand a chance. (the scene changes to show the exterior of the Chum Bucket. It has a banner on it that reads "Celebrating 50 years of failure." The camera zooms in. As it does this, the doors open and an image of the dining area is shown and it pans into that. Cross-fade to a wide shot of the lab. Karen is shown in her computer form and Plankton is shown at his desk)

Plankton: (as the camera is still panning in) It's a conspiracy, I tell you! A thousand and three times I've almost had that recipe, and a thousand and three times I've been launched by that Krabs! He celebrates eleventy-seven years of success, (cut to a medium shot of Plankton at his desk) I'm left with four score and forty fortnights of failure! (cut to a closer shot of Plankton. He tears up) I give up, Karen. Krabs has won!

Karen: (offscreen) Well, you'll never get the formula with that attitude. (onscreen) Maybe a thousand and four will be your lucky number.

Plankton: Oh, yeah? You try getting launched.

Karen: Oh, right, the launchings. (her face is replaced by a loading bar and the word "accessing" above it) I've got them all on my hard drive. (on Karen's monitor, we see Mr. Krabs in a baseball uniform, exiting the Krusty Krab. The scene shifts to show just the scene. Mr. Krabs pushes Plankton into the air.

The scene changes to show Mr. Krabs holding Plankton, walking outside the Krusty Krab)

Mr. Krabs: I'm tired today, Plankton. (drops Plankton) You're just gonna have to launch yourself. (walks back inside. Plankton tears up. He walks to the Chum Bucket and hits his head on the door)

Plankton: Splat. (begins to cry. Karen's laughing is heard. The scene pans out to show the scene on Karen's monitor. The scene shifts to not-recording Plankton) Karen?! (the footage is removed and replaced with Karen)

Karen: I'm sorry. That last part always makes me laugh. (Plankton jumps off his desk)

Plankton: It's just no use!

Karen: Today's the perfect day to steal the recipe. Krabs will be completely distracted by all the festivities. You can do this.

Plankton: You really think so?

Karen: Of course, I do. Now who's my big man?

Plankton: Oh, Karen.

Karen: Come on. Come on. Who's my big strong man?
