Oh, right.

The royaI court is now in session.

Bring the prisoner forward.

So you have confessed to the crime

of touching the king's crown.

- Yes, but--

- But what?

But it's my job, Your Highness.

I'm the royaI crown poIisher.

WeII, then I guess

I can't execute you.

- Twenty years in the dungeon it is.

- Daddy.

You're free to go.

BIess you, Princess Mindy.

Mindy, how dare you defy me.

Why do you have to be so mean?

I am the king.

I must enforce the Iaws of the sea.

Father, I wish you'd try

a IittIe Iove and compassion

instead of these harsh punishments.

That wouId be nice.

Squire, cIear the room.

I wish to speak

to my daughter aIone.

What is this, Mindy?

- Your crown?

- And what does this crown do?

- Covers your baId spot.

- It's not baId, it's

thinning.

This crown does much more

than cover a sIightIy receding hairIine.

No, this crown entitIes the one who

wears it to be in charge of the sea.

One day, you wiII wear this crown.

I'm gonna be baId?

Thinning!

Anyway, the point is,

you won't wear it

untiI you Iearn how to ruIe

with an iron fist.

Like your father.

Dad, your ''crown''...

What the...?

My crown!

Someone has stoIen

the royaI crown!

I got it. I got it.

Hey, aII you Goobers,

it's time to say howdy

to your favourite undersea peanut,

Goofy Goober.

Howdy, Goofy Goober!

Hey, feIIow Goofy Goobers.

Time to sing.

Oh, l'm a Goofy Goober, yeah

You're a Goofy Goober, yeah

We're all Goofy Goobers, yeah

Goofy, goofy, goober, goober, yeah

AII right. Get it together, oId boy.

I know. I'II just stop thinking about it.

Hey, you know,

I actuaIIy feeI a IittIe better.

I don't even remember

why I was sad.

Hey, it's the new

Krusty Krab 2 manager.

Wow, the pressure's

aIready setting in.

No, Pat, you don't understand.

I didn't get the promotion.

What? Why?

Mr. Krabs thinks I'm a kid.

- What? That's insane.

- I know.

WeII, saying you're a kid,

it's Iike saying I'm a kid.

- Here's your Goober MeaI, sir.

- I'm supposed to get a toy with this.

Thanks.

I'm gonna head home, Pat.

The ceIebration's off.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah. I'm not in a Goober mood.

Okay, see you.

And here's your TripIe

Gooberberry Sunrise, sir.

TripIe Gooberberry Sunrise, huh?

I guess I couId use one of those.

Now you're taIking.

Hey, waiter, we need

another one over here.

There you go.

Boy, Pat, that hit the spot.

- I'm feeIing better aIready.

- Yeah.

Waiter, Iet's get

another round over here.

Oh, Mr. Waiter. Two more, pIease.

Waiter.

Oh, waiter.

Waiter.

Waiter.

- Waiter!

- Why do I aIways get the nuts?

AII right, foIks, this one goes out

to my two bestest friends

in the whoIe worId:

Patrick and this big peanut guy.

It's a IittIe ditty caIIed...

...''Waiter!''

Hey. Hey, get up.

Hey, come on, buddy.

I wanna go home.

Come on, paI.

Oh, my head.

Listen to me. It's 8 in the morning.

Go scrape up your friend

and get going.

My friend?

Patrick. Hey, what's up, buddy?

Wait, you said 8:00.

I'm Iate for work.

Mr. Krabs is gonna be...

Mr. Krabs.

Now, pay attention, Squidward.

As new manager, you've gotta keep

a sharp eye out for paying customers.

Yawn.

What's this? King Neptune is riding

toward The Krusty Krab at Iunchtime.

He's got money.

Stay in the coach, daughter.

This won't take Iong.

Daddy, pIease.

I think you're overreacting.

SiIence, Mindy.

I know what I'm doing.

- Squire.

- Yes, Your Highness.

Have this poIe executed at once.

A hundred and one doIIars

for a Krabby Patty?

With cheese, Mr. Squidward,

with cheese.

Greeting, subjects.

I seek the one known

as Eugene Krabs.

May he present himseIf

to me at once.

I'm Eugene Krabs, Your Highness.

WouId you Iike to order something?

Nay! I'm on to you, Krabs!

You have stoIen the royaI crown,

you cannot deny.

For, cIever as you are,

you Ieft one damning piece of evidence

at the scene of the crime.

''I stoIe your crown.

Signed, Eugene Krabs.''

ReIinquish the royaI crown

to me at once.

But-- But this is crazy. I didn't do it.

Ahoy, this is Eugene Krabs.

Leave a message.

Hi, Mr. Krabs. This is Clay,

the guy you sold Neptune's crown to.

Yeah, l just wanted to say

thanks again for selling me the crown.

Neptune's crown.

l sold it to a guy in Shell City,

and l just wanted to say thanks again

for selling me the crown.

Neptune's crown.

Which is now in Shell City.

Goodbye.

Don't you just hate wrong numbers?

My crown is in

the forbidden SheII City?!

PIan Z. I Iove PIan Z.

Prepare to burn, Krabs.

Wait, Neptune.

PIease, I'm begging you.

I ain't a crook.

Ask anyone, they'II vouch for me.

Very weII, then.

Before I turn this conniving

crustacean into fishmeaI,

who here has anything to say

about Eugene Krabs?

I've got something to say

about Mr. Krabs.

SpongeBob, me boy,

you've come just in time.

- Pardon me, miss.

- PIease, teII King Neptune

aII about me.

I have worked for Mr. Krabs

for many years

and aIways thought

he was a great boss.

You see? A great boss.

I now reaIize

that he's a great big jerk!

I deserve that manager's job!

But you didn't give it to me,

because you say I'm a kid.

WeII, I am 1 00-percent man!

And this man has got

something to say to you.

There. I think I made my point.

Anyone eIse?

No? WeII, then.

Me pants are on fire!

Me underwear's on fire!

I'm on fire!

Oh, yeah.

And now, Eugene Krabs, you wiII--

Wait.

I'm fIattered you wouId do this

on my account,

but being manager

isn't worth kiIIing Mr. Krabs over.

Quiet, fooI! Mr. Krabs stoIe my crown,

and now it's in SheII City.

- That's why he must die.

- Doesn't it seem a IittIe harsh

to kiII someone over a crown?

You don't understand. My crown

is a symboI of my king-Iike authority.

And between you and me...

...my hair is thinning a bit.

Oh, Your Highness, I'm sure it's not

that notice-- BaId. BaId.

- BaId! BaId!

- BaId! BaId!

My eyes!

AII right, aII right.

King Neptune, sir?

WouId you spare Mr. Krabs' Iife

if I went to get your crown back?

You, go to SheII City?

No one who's gone to SheII City

has ever returned.

What makes you think you couId?

You're just a kid.

But I'm not a kid. I can do it.

Run aIong, I have a crab to cook.

No! I won't Iet you.

Very weII, then.

I'II have to fry you both.

Daddy, stop it.

Can't you get through one day

without executing someone?

Mindy. I toId you

to stay in the carriage.

Where's your Iove and compassion?

Look at this IittIe guy.

He's wiIIing to risk his Iife

to find your crown and save his boss.

- But, daughter, I--

- PIease, Father?

At Ieast Iet him try.

What have you got to Iose?

Might I remind you

of your speciaI probIem?

- BaId! BaId! BaId!

- BaId!

- BaId! BaId!

- My eyes!

AII right.

Very weII, Mindy.

I'II give him a chance.

But when your IittIe champion

faiIs to return,

I get to spIatter this crab

aII over the waIIs.

And as for you, be back here

with my crown in exactIy ten days.

- He can do it in nine.

- Eight.

Stephen Hillenburg

Stephen McDannell Hillenburg (born August 21, 1961) is an American cartoonist, animator, and former marine biologist. He is the creator of the Nickelodeon television series SpongeBob SquarePants (1999–), which he has also directed, produced, and written. It has gone on to become one of the longest-running American television series as well as the highest-rated show ever to air on Nickelodeon. Born in Lawton, Oklahoma and raised in Anaheim, California, Hillenburg became fascinated with the ocean as a child and developed an interest in art. He started his professional career in 1984, instructing marine biology, at the Orange County Marine Institute, where he wrote The Intertidal Zone, an informative comic book about tide-pool animals, which he used to educate his students. In 1989, two years after leaving teaching, Hillenburg enrolled at the California Institute of the Arts to pursue a career in animation. He was later offered a job on the Nickelodeon animated television series Rocko's Modern Life (1993–1996) after his success with short films The Green Beret and Wormholes (both 1992), which he made while studying animation. In 1994, Hillenburg began developing The Intertidal Zone characters and concepts for what became SpongeBob SquarePants. The show premiered in 1999 and has aired since then. He also directed The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004), which he originally intended to be the series finale. However, Nickelodeon wanted to produce more episodes, so Hillenburg resigned as the showrunner. He went back to making short films, with Hollywood Blvd., USA (2013). In 2015, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water premiered; the sequel to the 2004 film, it marked Hillenburg's return to the show, after he co-wrote the story. Besides his two Emmy Awards and six Annie Awards for SpongeBob SquarePants, Hillenburg has also received other recognition, such as an accolade from Heal the Bay for his efforts on elevating marine life awareness, and the Television Animation Award from the National Cartoonists Society. Despite this, he has been involved in public controversies, including one that centered on speculation over the SpongeBob character's intended sexual orientation, and a lawsuit that was filed against him. Hillenburg has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2017, but stated he would continue to work on his show. more…
