Plot

At the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob notices that Mr. Krabs is filling a hole in the wall with toothpaste. The toothpaste begins dripping and causes the hole to crack, making an even bigger hole in the wall. A fish and his children come to the Krusty Krab and orders from the hole, thinking it's a drive thru window. This gives Mr. Krabs an idea to create a Krusty Krab drive thru. SpongeBob brings in equipment for the drive thru but Mr. Krabs just uses a simple menu written on napkins, and a microphone with tin cans. A customer soon orders from the drive thru but SpongeBob has trouble getting the food out of the window. Then Mr. Krabs breaks a bigger hole. Once Larry comes with his S.U.B., SpongeBob has trouble getting the food to him since his window is so high above the drive-thru hole. Soon, this hold-up causes a huge line through the entire town to go to the drive-thru. The mayor comes and isn't happy about all the cars, so Mr. Krabs solves this problem by breaking a hole for another drive-thru. Then SpongeBob and Squidward desperately try to feed all the customers at both sides. Mr. Krabs breaks another hole and says "More money!". Then, the Krusty Krab cracks and falls apart into a pile of dirt. SpongeBob attempts to fix the restaurant with toothpaste, but tells Mr. Krabs that they may need to buy more. The episode ends with Mr. Krabs crying.

Trivia/Goofs

Glass windows usually cover the sides of the Krusty Krab, but in this episode, they were replaced with wooden walls.
The original Drive-thru happens to be with a window with a little sign above it but it isn't shown. It is likely it was taken down before this episode.
Turning the whole town into a parking lot seems to be against the law according to the cop that ticketed Krabs.
This is the second time Mr. Krabs cries at the episode. The first time was in One Krab's Trash.
Larry's S.U.B. is a parody of the real-life SUV.
When Pearl Krabs' friend uses the mega phone, it hurts Squidward's ear but in reality you can't see that he has any ear(s) at all.
When Mr. Krabs walks over to the other side of the Krusty Krab and then punches a hole in that wall, he mentions that they now have two drive-thrus, which could possibly be a reference to Checkers and Rally's restaurants, known for their double drive-thrus.
