Boi Page #7

(He turned toward Mr. Krabs and the angry mob, who were running straight toward them)

Patrick:

Hurry up! I'm hungry! Over here!

(Frantic to escape from his hunger-crazed friend, SpongeBob began furiously burrowing underground. Carrying Plankton in his hand, he tunneled away from Patrick. Then he popped up out of the ground, gasping and panting)

(As the mob grew closer, SpongeBob and Plankton ran away as fast as their legs could carry them)

Patrick:

Guys, am I still on the team? Hey, what are you looking at?

(The two fugitives ran straight to Sandy's tree dome)

SpongeBob:

Sandy!

(INT. AIR LOCK ENTRANCE — DAY. SpongeBob opened the air-lock door, rushed inside, and slammed the door shut. He put on a water helmet and pressed a big red button. The water in the air lock drained. SpongeBob scooped Plankton into a glass of water before he dried out)

SpongeBob:

Sandy!

(INT. TREE DOME — DAY. They opened the second air lock and stepped inside the dome. It was dark and eerie. Pieces of paper were stuck all over the inside of the dome, blocking the light)

SpongeBob:

Sandy?

(They walked farther inside but didn't find Sandy anywhere)

SpongeBob:

Sandy, are you home?

(He turned to Plankton)

SpongeBob:

Gee, Plankton, I wonder where she is.

(The two of them looked more closely at the papers stuck to the inside of the dome. They were covered with scribbles and strange writing, all connected by string)

SpongeBob:

What is all this stuff?

(As they stared at the papers, dark shape whipped by, passing right behind them. SpongeBob turned around)

SpongeBob:

Sandy?

(SpongeBob reached toward one of the papers and a hand grabbed his shoulder)

Sandy:

Don't touch that!

(Sandy darted away and picked up a thick notebook. SHe opened it and started reading, mumbling to herself)

Sandy:

Incoherent muttering. (MUTTERING)

(SpongeBob and Plankton slowly walked over to her)

(She didn't seem like the old Sandy SpongeBob knew and loved)

SpongeBob:

Sandy? Are you okay?

(She wheeled around and stared at him)

Sandy:

(SHOUTING) Okay? Have you looked outside?

(Sandy pointed out the glass wall of her tree dome to Bikini Bottom, where they could see flames and plumes of black smoke)

Sandy:

Does that seem "okay" to you?

(Sandy started pacing)

Sandy:

I'm trying to figure out what happened to society. If we don't fix it soon, there won't be anything left to fix!

(She twitched, and her eyes bulged out of her head)

SpongeBob:

Sandy? The lack of Krabby Patties has driven her mad.

(Sandy stared at the papers stuck inside her tree dome. SHe grabbed her head with her hands)

Sandy:

And I think I figgered it out. Look.

(She grabbed some papers and tore them off the curved glass dome. Through the dome, SpongeBob and Plankton could see a big sheet of paper with THE END on it)

(Sandy stabbed her finger at the big sheet of paper)

Sandy:

When this came down from above, I knew it could only mean one thing.

(SpongeBob looked puzzled)

SpongeBob:

And that would be?

(Sandy whipped around and held her hands wide apart)

Sandy:

It means it's the end! The sandwich gods are angry with us!

(Now SpongeBob and Plankton were really confused)

BOTH:

Sandwich gods?

(Sandy started pacing again, moving even faster this time, waving her hands through the air)

Sandy:

I just don't know how we're going to appease them! (MUTTERING)

(SpongeBob and Plankton look at each other)

PLANKTON:

You got any other friends who aren't dim bulbs or nut jobs?

SpongeBob:

Well, I have one friend who's loyal to the very end.

(BUBBLE TRANSITION to:)

(INT. SPONGEBOB'S PINEAPPLE HOUSE — DAY. When SpongeBob saw his pineapple home, he gasped. It had been severely damaged by a wandering mob! And for some reason, it was covered in gooey snail slime)

SpongeBob:

Gary, I'm home.

(Where was SpongeBob's beloved pet snail?)

SpongeBob:

Gare-bear? Gary? Gary?

(A blob of snail slime dripped onto SpongeBob's head)

Plankton:

Revolting!

SpongeBob:

But it means Gary is close by! Gary, I'm back!

(When they walked into the broken house, they suddenly stopped, shocked by what they saw)

SpongeBob:

Whoa.

(The house was filled with snails. Big snails. Small snails. Snails of every color and description. And they were all looking respectfully at...)

(GARY. SpongeBob's pet snail was sitting on a giant throne, surrounded by pillars and huge fire pits)

SpongeBob:

Oh, hey, Gary, Plankton and I need you to help us find the Krabby Patty formula and fix Bikini Bottom.

Gary:

(MEOWING)

SpongeBob:

What do you mean, you don't have to do as I say anymore?

Gary:

(MEOWING)

SpongeBob:

What do you mean, "King of Snails"? (looking stern, folding his arms) Gary The Snail, you get down here right now and join this team!

Gary:

(MEOWING)

SpongeBob:

What do you mean, "Seize them"?

(All the snails who had been paying their respects to Gary, the King of the Snails, turned to SpongeBob and Plankton. Then they advanced on them with their fangs bared, growling!)

(EXT. BIKINI BOTTOM — DAY. SpongeBob turned and ran out of the pineapple house as fast as he could!)

Plankton:

Why are you running?

SpongeBob:

(PANTING) Because they're right on our tail.

(He looked back to see the snails moving very, very slowly)

SpongeBob:

Oh, right, snails.

(The two unlikely partners strolled away from SpongeBob's house)

Plankton:

Well, so much for your tee-am.

SpongeBob:

Putting together a team is a lot harder than I thought it would be!

(Nearby, Mr. Krabs and the angry mob was still on their tail)

KRABS:

This way!

Plankton:

We better get out of here until things cool off.

(EXT. RIDGE, BIKINI BOTTOM — NIGHT. That night, high on a ridge overlooking Bikini Bottom, Plankton and SpongeBob looked down at their hometown. They could see fires burning in the darkness)

SPONGEBOB:

Everything we know and love has been destroyed.

Plankton:

Oh, yeah, looks like they're gonna have to change the name of Bikini Bottom to Dirty Bottom. (LAUGHS) Right, SpongeBob?

(SpongeBob wrinkled his and nose and frowned)

SpongeBob:

That's kind of gross, Plankton.

Plankton:

Yeah. Yeah, too soon, huh?

(SpongeBob stared into distance)

SpongeBob:

This feels like it really is the end.

Plankton:

Don't worry, SpongeBob, we'll find the secret formula and everything will go back to the way it was, you know, all happy and junk.

(he pushed a rock toward SpongeBob)

Plankton:

Now let's try and get some sleep.

SpongeBob:

Yeah, I guess you're right.

(He lay his head on the rock)

(Plankton pulled a blanket of seaweed over SpongeBob)

Plankton:

Here you are. Feel comfy?

SpongeBob:

You know, Plankton, I think you might know a little bit more about teamwork than you let on.

Plankton:

Good night, SpongeBob.

SpongeBob:

Good night, Plankton.

(Exhausted from the day, SpongeBob instantly fell into a deep sleep)

(Plankton let out an evil little chuckle)

Plankton:

(LAUGHS EVILLY) "Good night," indeed.

(He crept up onto SpongeBob's head)

Plankton:

That's right, SpongeBob, sleep. You're hiding that formula in there somewhere.
