(The game begins in SpongeBob’s pineapple home, where SpongeBob wakes up from his nap.)
SpongeBob: What a silly dream. Mr. Krabs had to close the Krusty Krab. Like that’d ever happen. (hops out of bed) I have the feeling today will be like no other day! (sighs) Now I wonder where Gary is? I should probably walk him before I go to work.
(SpongeBob goes down to chat with Gary.)
SpongeBob: Good morning, Gary! Wait till I tell you about my crazy dreams where the Krusty Krab was closed and...
Gary: Meow!
SpongeBob: Oh, you don’t say… you had a dream too…
Gary: Meow! Meow! Meow! Mrrowr!
SpongeBob: That something really bad is going to happen. Uh-huh.
Gary: Rrow! Rrow! Mmmh! Mmmh! Rrowr!
SpongeBob: W’oh! That really is bad. Well, I know just the thing to cheer you up. I’ll go fetch your favorite fetching stick.
(SpongeBob goes into the kitchen.)
French Narrator: Don’t you think your little friend Gary would like to play some fetch?
SpongeBob: Uh. Yeah. I guess.
French Narrator: Very well, then move next to his fetching stick and press the action button to pick it up. Then you can carry the stick to Gary and delight him.
(After getting the fetching stick, SpongeBob returns to Gary.)
SpongeBob: You didn’t think I was going to leave for work without a quick game of fetch, did you Gary? Now come on, boy, go long.
(Gary goes long while SpongeBob prepares to throw.)
SpongeBob: Longer. Longer.
(He throws the stick and Gary returns with a treasure chest.)
SpongeBob: What did you dig up outside, boy? Hmm. There’s something written on it. I think it says, ‘Damger. Donut Opin. Oh Relse.’ I wonder what that means. Well maybe we should see what’s inside.
Gary: MeOOw!
SpongeBob: Oh, don’t be such a soggy sport, Gary. What harm can there be in just a little peek?
(He karate-chops through three boxes, spilling out doubloons, until he finds a bottle inside.)
SpongeBob: Just what I always wanted…. A muddy little bottle! Just think of all the fun we can have cleaning it. Here we go.
(He rubs the bottle and the Flying Dutchman emerges from it.)
Flying Dutchman: Argh! Who summons me from my endless slumber? I’ll have your eyes for appetizers and yer insides for dessert. For I am the Flying Dutchman!
SpongeBob: Uh.. sorry about that. Just hop right back into your bottle and we’ll bury you out back in the yard so you can…
Flying Dutchman: Silence! I’ll not return to that prison ever again! (takes the bottle) And what’s this? You’ve gotten into my treasure, have ye! Ooh, I hate it when someone messes with my doubloons. Now what shall I do with ye lowly knaves who dared stir me up? Let me consult my rulebook on ghostly doings. (looks in his rulebook) Hmm. In the case of accidental discovery and wanton disruption of my booty, the perpetrators must serve for an eternity on my bloody crew. (stops reading) Well, I ain’t never been out to sea with a talking cheeseblock before, but rules is rules, so I gotta take you with me. Are you ready?
SpongeBob: Hold on there, mister Dutchman sir. Technically speaking, it was not me who found you. Gary’s the one who dug you up.
(Gary hides in his shell)
Flying Dutchman: Whew, that’s a relief. This little varmint looks like he can do ten times the work… if he can survive my hypnotic spell.
SpongeBob: Aagh! No, not Gary! That’s not what I meant. Take me, me, me. Not him, him, him!
Flying Dutchman: Too late, my decision is made. Now I’ve got to check on the treasure stashed back on my ship, to make sure no one’s spreading that around. But I’ll return shortly to pick up my new crewmate. Say your farewells before I return.
(The Flying Dutchman disappears into thin air.)
SpongeBob: Don’t worry, Gary. I’ll think of something and it’ll be the type of… something that will save you. You can bet on it. Ohhhh.
(SpongeBob meets his best friend Patrick at his rock.)
SpongeBob: Gee, Patrick, is everything okay?
Patrick: Not okay! Not okay! Something fell on my roof and now my TV doesn’t work. I can’t get up there to fix the thingy and I’m missing all my favorite shows! Ohhh.
SpongeBob: That’s too bad. I wish there was something I could do to help.
French Narrator: Ah, but there is. You can get up there if you try. Hold the duck button, then press the jump button to reach high places.
Patrick: What are you waiting for, SpongeBob? I’m missing my shows! A real buddy would get up there and make my life complete again.
SpongeBob: Ehhh. Oh, barnacles!
(SpongeBob gets on top of Patrick’s house and finds a barrel atop the antenna.)
SpongeBob: All righty, looks like I’ve found your problem. There’s a big thingy on your thingy and it’s all bent out of shape. But it looks too big for me to move.
French Narrator: You don’t need to move it when you can simply break it apart. Face the container and press the action button to karate chop it.
(After karate-chopping the barrel to fix the antenna, SpongeBob goes back to Patrick.)
Patrick: Woo hoo! My TV is fixed! You saved me from thinking, SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: Save your gratitude, my jolly pink friend. It’s all in a day’s work for a sponge such as I. But, um, maybe you can help me with a problem that I’m having. You see, it all started this morning when Gary and I were playing fetch.
Patrick: On second thought, who wants to stay at home and watch TV on a day like this? I’m going downtown to see the new construction site. Maybe you can meet me there and we’ll play Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. Last one there’s a nematode!
(Patrick runs off to go to Downtown Bikini Bottom.)
(Back at SpongeBob’s house, as Gary is sleeping, the Dutchman appears and wakes up the snail.)
Flying Dutchman: Avast, ye little varmint! The time has come for you to join my ghostly crew! (pulls out Gary's fetching stick on a fishing rod) No use fighting it. Your fate’s been decided. Now looky here what I got fer ya.
(He hypnotizes the snail by dangling a stick in front of him)
Flying Dutchman: That’s right, watch the little sticky.
(He and Gary vanish as SpongeBob returns home.)
SpongeBob: Gary? Where are you, boy? Gary! Why did you take Gary, mister Dutchman? Why, why, why? No one makes my best friends into pirates! And I mean NO ONE!
(SpongeBob goes outside to chat with his neighbor Squidward.)
Squidward: Hello SpongeBob. So nice of you to finally join us.
SpongeBob: Squidward! Am I glad to see you? You won’t believe what just happened to me and Gary.
Squidward: I don’t have time for another one of your ridiculous tales. Mr. Krabs wants us to get to the Krusty Krab right away so he can tell us some important news.
SpongeBob: Important news? Maybe Mr. Krabs is going to announce the employee of the month! What are we waiting for?
Squidward: Beats me. You just keep chattering away and I’ll see you there when you’re done.
SpongeBob: So that’s how it is. Trying to hear the news before me, eh? Well, let’s see who can get to the Krusty Krab first.
Squidward: Yeah, sure. Whatever.
(SpongeBob races Squidward to the Krusty Krab and wins.)
SpongeBob: Once again, we see that more legs doesn’t mean more speed.
Squidward: And once again, we see that more holes in your head means less stays inside of it.
Mr. Krabs: All right, you two, stop your jabbering. I’ve got some difficult news to tell you. Business has been very slow lately, so I’m going to shut down the Krusty Krab until it picks up again.
SpongeBob: Sssshut down, the Kr-krusty Krrraaa… I think I’m going to faint.
Mr. Krabs: You boys can hang around here or go home, but I can’t pay you one way or the other. Sorry.
(Mr. Krabs goes into the kitchen to bemoan his struggling business.)
Squidward: Well, isn’t that just great? I’m going home to think of some ways to pay the bills. So long, SpongeBob.
(While Squidward goes home, SpongeBob goes to the kitchen to talk to Mr. Krabs.)
SpongeBob: Geepers, Mr. Krabs, why do you think our business is so slow?
Mr. Krabs: No one seems interested in going out anymore. They think it’s too much trouble to leave home.
SpongeBob: Too bad we can’t move the Krusty Krab into their homes.
Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob! That’s it! We’ll do just that.
SpongeBob: Yeah! What is that? Oh you wanna move the Krusty Krab? Should I get a hammer?
Mr. Krabs: Never mind that. I’m going downtown to set things up. You take this bus ticket and meet me there as soon as you can.
(He gives SpongeBob the Downtown bus ticket and leaves.)
Downtown Bikini Bottom
(SpongeBob arrives in Downtown Bikini Bottom.)
SpongeBob: So this is Downtown Bikini Bottom. How will I ever find Mr. Krabs in such a huge place, where the streets never end, and the buildings just go on and on and on?
(Camera pans back to show Mr. Krabs with a cart on a corner across SpongeBob.)
Mr. Krabs: Yoo hoo! SpongeBob, over here!
(SpongeBob walks over to Krabs.)
Mr. Krabs: Glad you finally made it, lad. Between you, me, and this here cart, there’s no stopping us now.
SpongeBob: Just exactly what is your plan, Mr. Krabs?
Mr. Krabs: It’s just like you said, SpongeBob. If no one wants to leave home, then we bring the Krusty Krab to them. I’m talking about food delivery! I’ll put out a bag filled with patties whenever enough orders come in. You need to grab the bag and get to all our customers, before it’s too late. There might even be some tip money in it for you.
SpongeBob: This sounds like fun, Mr. Krabs!
Mr. Krabs: Great! This delivery is to a single location. 17 Seashell Street. Go to Seashell Street, then look for the 17 on the building, then drop off the food at the door. Our food is very popular, so watch out for rough characters who might try to take it from you. Now go to it, lad!
(After making the first delivery…)
SpongeBob: I’m ready for the next delivery, Mr. Krabs!
Mr. Krabs: This delivery is a little trickier. There’s a building under construction nearby and it’s full of VERY hungry workers.
(The two head to the construction site.)
Mr. Krabs: Find the two workers who placed the order. Some of the other workers might try to take the food from you. Order up!
(During his delivery, he encounters Patrick, dressed as Barnacle Boy.)
Patrick: Halt, villain! Don’t try to get away, for I am Barnacle Boy, super sidekick!
SpongeBob: You really had me going there for a minute, Patrick. Where did you get that great costume?
Patrick: I mailed in 450 Kelp Bar wrappers and got both official costumes from the Mermaid Man show.
SpongeBob: You got both costumes? Oh, can I be Mermaid Man? Oh please, oh please, oh, please.
Patrick: Aw gee, I’d really like to. But I’ve been so hungry since I ran out of Kelp Bars. If only I had something yummy to eat.
(Later, SpongeBob delivers Krabby Patties to Patrick.)
Patrick: Krabby patties! I’m saved! Now we can play Mermaid Man for as long as we want. I put your costume in that tent over there, SpongeBob. Watch out, evil, here we come!
(He runs off from the construction site. Later, after SpongeBob delivers the food to the construction workers…)
SpongeBob: Another bag of delicious krabby patties served up hot! What wants a slice of this cakewalk now?
Mr. Krabs: This delivery won’t be easy at all. Three different parties called from the high-rise apartments.
(They head to the high-rise apartments.)
Mr. Krabs: The first address is apartment 9. I wrote down the other two addresses for you. Make sure to visit both buildings. Good luck!
(After delivering food to the apartments…)
SpongeBob: I just need a few more sand dollars and then maybe I can get Sandy a gift!
Mr. Krabs: Well, this is your last delivery. Four orders have been called in from this neighborhood.
(During SpongeBob’s last round of deliveries, he finds Patrick delivering food. He seems to be wearing a Chum Bucket-themed uniform.)
Patrick: Here’s your food. Thanks!
SpongeBob: Patrick! Did you just deliver food to my customers?
Patrick: Hiya, SpongeBob! Are you delivering food for Mr. Krabs, too?
SpongeBob: Patrick, I’m the only one delivering food for Mr. Krabs! Now tell me what you’re doing here.
Patrick: You think you’re the only one who can be a delivery boy? Well, I have a job, too. And it’s not my fault that you’re slower than me. So if you’ll excuse me, some of us have work to do.
(Patrick runs off.)
SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs would have told me if he hired someone else. No, there is something definitely funny going on here, and I’m going to find out who’s behind it.
(After finishing the last delivery…)
Mr. Krabs: Nice work, SpongeBob! We’ve made enough money to call it a day.
SpongeBob: Um.. Mr. Krabs? Did you hire another delivery boy?
Mr. Krabs: Don’t be crazy, lad. Why would I hire someone else when I can make you do all the work for nothing? But I’ll tell you, if someone was cutting into my business, I’d follow them until I found out what was really going on.
SpongeBob: Follow them, huh? That’s not such a bad idea.
Mr. Krabs: Just make sure you don’t get too close, or they’ll see that you’re following them. Anyhow, I’m going to pack up this stuff soon and head on home. Thanks for all your help, lad.
(Mr. Krabs heads off. Later on in the game, equipped with the reef blower, SpongeBob finds Sandy downtown.)
Sandy: Hey there, SpongeBob! Want to lend a hand?
SpongeBob: Sure thing, Sandy. What can I do?
Sandy: I joined up with Operation Clean Sweep. We’re clearing up all the trash that floats down to Bikini Bottom. You can help me by rolling all the trash balls you see into the sewers, where they belong. There are 6 trash balls in all, and you can roll them with your reef blower.
SpongeBob: Aye aye, Sandy. You can count on me.
(Once SpongeBob clears up all of the trash balls, he returns to Sandy.)
Sandy: Thanks for all your help, SpongeBob. Now I can go to my treedome and practice karate!
(She goes off to her treedome.)
Bikini Bottom
(Back at the Krusty Krab, Krabs is proud of his delivery business going well.)
Mr. Krabs: There’s no better feeling than having a full stomach and me pockets loaded with money. And now for a nice, long nap in me office.
(Then, the Flying Dutchman appears before Mr. Krabs.)
Flying Dutchman: If it’s a long nap you desire, then I can accommodate you.
Mr. Krabs: A customer? Well, step right inside. Place your order.
Flying Dutchman: You got the wrong idea, crustacean. Just look upon this treasure and let yourself rest.
(The Dutchman dangles a golden dollar sign in front of Mr. Krabs.)
Flying Dutchman: That’s right. Sleep.
(Then, he and Krabs disappear. Outside, SpongeBob sees Patrick running around.)
French Narrator: Look! There goes your delivery rival! Now is your chance to find out who’s behind this. Don’t let him get away this time!
(SpongeBob follows Patrick without being noticed and eventually finds him at the Chum Bucket. A robotic Krabs is waiting for him, piloted by Plankton.)
Patrick: I’m sorry, Mr. Krabs, but all those people who ordered food told me they already got it.
Plankton: Fool! Worthless lackey! Er.. I mean.. That’s okay. Others will soon phone in their orders and we’ll be ready and waiting to intercept their calls.
SpongeBob: Ah hah! I’m onto your little scheme now, Mr. Krabs. It’s all too clear that you’re the one who’s been trying to put the Krusty Krab out of business.
Patrick: Uh hi, SpongeBob. Are you a worthless lackey, too?
SpongeBob: Now I’m really confused, Patrick. Why would Mr. Krabs try to put himself out of business?
Patrick: Because he’s a worthless lackey?
Plankton: Enough! Enough! Silence, you ignorant buffoons!
(The robot explodes, leaving Plankton on the ground.)
SpongeBob: Plankton!
Patrick: Plankton!
Plankton: Of course, you nattering nincompoops! Who else has the intellect to mastermind such a plan? I would have succeeded, too, if it weren’t for your utter incompetence.
Patrick: Does this mean I don’t get that raise?
SpongeBob: Let’s face it, Plankton. Evil does not pay or even get very good tips. Your days of impersonating Mr. Krabs are over.
Plankton: You may have won that round, SpongeBob, but I don’t need a disguise to separate your crabby boss from his fortune. Behold, the greatest attraction to ever appear in Bikini Bottom, Chum World! Everyone will spend so much money here they won’t have any left to buy your pathetic Krabby Patties. Now I’m off to Jellyfish Fields to watch the invertebrates get tangled in nets of torture! Ta-ta!
(Plankton runs off.)
SpongeBob: I hate to admit it, but that Chum World looks kinda fun.
Patrick: Yeah. Fun.
SpongeBob: Where did Plankton say he was going?
Patrick: Uh, Jellyfish Fields.
(Patrick runs off.)
(SpongeBob sees Squidward reading a book while lounging. Some stuff is seen in his yard.)
SpongeBob: Hey, Squidward. What’s with all the stuff on your lawn?
Squidward: A squid has to pay his rent somehow, so I’m having a little yard sale to make a few extra sand dollars. Now leave me alone so I can read my book.
SpongeBob: Whatcha reading?
Squidward: It’s called ‘How to Defeat Evil Spirits,’ okay? Now please let me read.
SpongeBob: ‘How to Defeat Evil Spirits?’ That’s just what I need! Can I please borrow your book, Squidward?
Squidward: You can borrow my book after I’m done with it, okay? So look through my yard sale, or whatever, but stop asking about my book.
(SpongeBob ponders about getting the book from Squidward.)SpongeBob: I really need that book to save Gary. I just want to borrow it for a little while. But how will I ever get it away from Squidward?
French Narrator: You must sneak up on him while he’s napping so he doesn’t wake up.
(SpongeBob sneaks toward the book and grabs it without Squidward noticing. He opens it to read a chapter on the Flying Dutchman.)
French Narrator: How to Defeat Evil Spirits: Chapter 8… The Flying Dutchman. Any poor soul who awakens the Dutchman must suffer his revenge for all eternity. The only defense against the Dutchman’s magical powers are his most personal treasures. These are items which he carried close to him while he was alive. Find all 7 of the lost treasures in order to face down the Dutchman once and for all.
SpongeBob: (closes the book) That’s it! All I have to do is find the 7 lost treasures of the Dutchman… to end this once and for all. Barnacles! I thought this would be a challenge!
(Suddenly, Sandy karate-chops through the blocked path. SpongeBob comes over to meet her.)
SpongeBob: Hiya, Sandy! Boy, am I glad to see you. You won’t believe what happened to me and Gary this morning.
Sandy: Let me guess. Curiosity got the best of you again?
SpongeBob: Yeah, I guess you could say that.
Sandy: Well, don’t you fret, little varmint. This squirrel knows just the thing to cheer you up… a good, old-fashioned karate match. Just step into my arena when you’re good and ready.
(Later, SpongeBob enters Sandy’s arena.)
Sandy: Okay, now listen up, ‘cause I’m gonna remind you how this all works. We’ve got a short amount of time to bust up all this junk in your yard. The one who breaks the most stuff when time runs out is the winner.
SpongeBob: Just tell me which moves are legal if you have the guts.
Sandy: I’ll teach you a few moves. You can press the action button to karate chop. Press the action button a coupla times to chain attacks together. Press the action button in the air to do a kick. Got all that? Ready. Set. GO!!!
(After beating Sandy in the first karate challenge…)
Sandy: I gotta admit, SpongeBob, that was some tussle. You did okay for a sea critter.
SpongeBob: You weren’t so bad for a land critter.
Sandy: (yawns) That plum took all the fire out of me. I’m going home for a nap. Why don’t you drop on by my treedome and pay a visit, okay?
(The squirrel leaves for home.)
SpongeBob: That was sure swell of Sandy to cheer me up. I wish I could do something special for her. I know! I’ll give her a present! But what would Sandy like? Hmm….
(At the yard sale, SpongeBob finds a strange acorn in a glass jar.)
SpongeBob: Hey, Squidward, this big acorn sure is making a weird buzzing noise.
Squidward: Acorn? You mean that hive I got from my cousin on the coast?
SpongeBob: No, I mean this big, buzzing acorn in the glass jar. I bet Sandy would really like this.
Squidward: Uh, yeah, I bet your little squirrel friend would really like that ‘acorn.’ Why don’t you buy it for her?
SpongeBob: Name your price, yard merchant.
Squidward: I’ll sell it to you for 200 sand dollars. Start saving your tip money. (laughs)
(When SpongeBob has enough money to buy the strange acorn…)
SpongeBob: I’m ready to buy this acorn now, Squidward.
Squidward: Well, well, maybe I won’t have to sit out here all week after all. The ‘acorn’ is yours. I’m sure Sandy will looove it!
Sandy's Treedome
(SpongeBob arrives in Sandy’s Treedome while soaking in some water.)
SpongeBob: I love visiting Sandy in her treedome. Where else in Bikini Bottom can you worry about dying from all this air?
(However, he feels the inside of the treedome being wet.)
SpongeBob: That’s strange. I don’t feel as dry as I usually do, and I don’t need my helmet at all. The ground in here is soaking wet!
Sandy: SpongeBob! Get your squishy little body over here! Heeelp!
(SpongeBob walks over to Sandy.)
SpongeBob: What happened in here, Sandy?
Sandy: I got all fired up after our karate match and wanted to practice some more, but I guess I got carried away, because I accidentally poked some holes in the dome. This place is filling up faster than eleven gallons in a ten-gallon hat!
SpongeBob: What can I do to help?
Sandy: See if you can find something to plug the holes in the dome. You’ve gotta plug all the holes to stop the water from coming in!
(After plugging up the holes with acorns…)
SpongeBob: Mission accomplished! The holes are plugged.
Sandy: Thanks, SpongeBob, you’re a real lifesaver. This place will probably stay soaked for days. As for me, I’m going upstairs to dry off.
(She goes in for a moment until she comes back outside.)
Sandy: Tarnation! All those holes in my dome made this place wetter inside than out. I could sure use something special to spruce up this old tree.
(SpongeBob gives Sandy the strange acorn from the yard sale.)
Sandy: Hey there, SpongeBob. Back so soon? Watcha got there?
SpongeBob: Well… I… I just thought you might like this. It’s a really weird acorn that makes funny noises when you shake it. Maybe you can use it as a decoration for your tree.
Sandy: Why, isn’t this the fanciest doohickey you ever done saw? This will look great on top of my tree. Hold on a sec while I put it up there.
(Sandy goes inside to put up the strange acorn. However…)
Sandy: SpongeBob! This is no acorn! Get up here right way!
(SpongeBob goes up to the tree, where the place is swarming with bees and wasps.)
SpongeBob: What seems to be the problem, Sandy?
Sandy: That acorn you gave me is nothing more than a hive filled with angry bees and wasps. Now someone has to get to the top of the tree and get it down.
SpongeBob: Let me guess. That someone is bright yellow and kind of square. Okay, I’ll see what I can do to get the hive out of your tree. Ohhh.
(After getting rid of the hive…)
SpongeBob: Well, that hive is out of your tree. So, um, no hard feelings… right?
Sandy: That’s a good start, but now I’ve got all these stinging varmints flying around in here. Round them all up. If you do a good job, I might even have a reward for you.
(After SpongeBob captures all of the bees and wasps…)
SpongeBob: There are no more stingy thingies in your treedome, Sandy.
Sandy: That was some mighty fine wrangling, SpongeBob. I’m going inside my treedome for a rest. See you later, SpongeBob.
(Later, SpongeBob challenges Sandy for another karate challenge inside her tree house.)
SpongeBob: So, mistress of mayhem, how long did you think you could hide in here? Prepare yourself for another defeat!
Sandy: Is that supposed to scare me? I’ve been practicing since our last battle and I’ve learned some new moves. Now pay attention. We’ve got a short amount of time to bust up all this junk in my tree house. The one who breaks the most stuff when time runs out is the winner. Now here are some advanced moves. Hold the duck button, then press the action button to strike in all directions. You got all that? Ready. Set. GO!!!
(After beating Sandy in the second karate challenge…)
SpongeBob: Must.. contain… immense karate powers!
Sandy: Well shucks, SpongeBob! That was some tussle.
Bikini Bottom
(Back at Squidward’s house, the Flying Dutchman appears before Squidward.)
Flying Dutchman: I’ve been looking for you!
Squidward: Sorry, but my yard sale is over. You should’ve shown up on time if you wanted to buy something.
Flying Dutchman: I never buy what I want. I just take it. And you’re what I’m here for. Another member for my ghostly crew.
Squidward: But according to my book on evil spirits, the Flying Dutchman is supposed to take the ones who disturb his rest.
Flying Dutchman: But that little snail feller is working out so well and my old crew is so lazy. Can’t we overlook that rule just this once?
(He dangles a clarinet in front of Squidward, hypnotizing him.)
Flying Dutchman: Just think of how nice it will be when you’re a member of the Dutchman’s crew.
(Both Squidward and the Dutchman vanish into thin air.)
Jellyfish Fields
(SpongeBob arrives in Jellyfish Fields.)
SpongeBob: (sighs) There’s nothing like a little playtime in Jellyfish Fields to make everything right again.
(SpongeBob visits Rusty Scupper at his bait shop.)
Rusty Scupper: Hey there, young fella. You here for the jellyfishing competition?
SpongeBob: Jellyfishing competition? That sounds like fun! Tell me more, old timer.
Rusty Scupper: My name is Rusty Scupper and the competition is sponsored by my bait shop. It’s been going on for days. The first contestant to gather 100 jellyfish and bring them back here is the winner.
SpongeBob: Does the winner get a prize?
Rusty Scupper: Of course! I keep the prizes in my corral. The winner can choose whichever one he wants. That is, except for the racing snails. Those old boys aren’t fit to race anymore. Now get out there and start catching some jellyfish!
(After collecting 100 jellyfish for Rusty…)
Rusty Scupper: Like I told you before, it takes 100 jellyfish to win this competition.
SpongeBob: Well then feast your eyes on this stash, Rusty.
Rusty Scupper: We have a winner! Now you can choose one of the prizes inside the corral.
(SpongeBob finds a reef blower in the corral.)
SpongeBob: I’ve always wanted a Reef Blower Twenty-Five-Hundred! What a great prize!
Rusty Scupper: Not that hunk of junk.
SpongeBob: But this! This is what I want! The reef blower that defines reef blowers!
Rusty Scupper: Ohhhkay. Go ahead and try it on to make sure it fits.
(SpongeBob tries on the reef blower and plays with it, scaring the snails out of the corral.)
Rusty Scupper: Stop! My poor snails!
SpongeBob: Gee, sorry about that. I’ve never used one of those before.
Rusty Scupper: From now on, use a changing tent to put on that reef blower, just to be safe. You can press the action button to roll something big with it or to activate a fan. And some critters are actually afraid of the reef blowers, like my poor, old racing snails. How will I ever get them back into my corral?
SpongeBob: Don’t worry, Rusty. I’ll herd all your snails back into the corral for you. Using this!
(Eventually, SpongeBob herds the snails back into the corral with his reef blower.)
Rusty Scupper: You did it, boy! All my snails are accounted for.
(Rusty runs off.)
(SpongeBob finds Plankton in Jellyfish Fields.)
SpongeBob: I want to see Chum World for myself, Plankton. How do I get in?
Plankton: You would take the bus in Bikini Bottom. But you need a special bus ticket that also works for the ferry. And I don’t think an employee of Mr. Krabs is gonna get one of those from me.
SpongeBob: Even if I want to spend all my sand dollars at Chum World and make you rich?
Plankton: Nice try, but all those holes in your head must have dried out your brain. I gave special instructions to all my Chum World clowns not to give you a bus ticket! Oh, and if you see one of my clowns, tell him to stop following around and get back to work!
(SpongeBob finds Patrick in the fields, clutching his belly in pain.)
SpongeBob: Patrick, why aren’t you jellyfishing with the rest of us? Are you okay?
Patrick: Oh hi, SpongeBob. My tummy hurts. I think it was that funny square thing that I ate. I sure wish someone could get it out of my belly.
(As SpongeBob approaches Patrick…)
Patrick: Get…. out… of my belly… square thingy.
(He manages to make Patrick cough up the letter tile across the fields.)
Patrick: Wow, I feel a lot better. Thanks! Hey look, there’s another one of those tasty square thingies. And it’s all mine!
(SpongeBob grabs the letter tile before Patrick could.)
(SpongeBob follows Patrick back to his original spot.)
SpongeBob: Not everything is supposed to go in your mouth, Patrick.
Patrick: You're just jealous that some of us find better snacks than you.
(Later, SpongeBob encounters a Chum World clownfish in Jellyfish Fields.)
SpongeBob: You must be one of the clowns from Plankton’s carnival.
Clownfish: Hey, buddy. Don’t tell Plankton you saw me today, okay? I don't want to get in trouble.
SpongeBob: Maybe we can make a deal. I won’t tell Plankton where you are if you give me your bus ticket to Chum World.
Clownfish: Give you my bus ticket? Then I would be in real trouble. But I’ll tell you what, squirt. If you can defeat me, then you can have my ticket.
(After SpongeBob defeats the Clownfish…)
Clownfish: Okay, okay. I give up! Here's your stinking bus ticket. The bus in Bikini Bottom will take you to Chum World. I’ve gotta find a new line of work.
(The Clownfish runs off.)
Bikini Bottom
(Back at Bikini Bottom, Patrick is looking for SpongeBob.)
Patrick: SpongeBob! SpongeBob? Hellooo! Aw, where is he? I’m tired of being alone all the time.
(Then, the Flying Dutchman appears before Patrick.)
Flying Dutchman: Prepare yourself, pudgy pink one, for you shall soon be part of my pirate crew!
Patrick: Part of a pirate crew? Oh goody, goody, goody! I won’t be alone anymore.
Flying Dutchman: Err. Okay now. I’m just going to hypnotize you so we can…
Patrick: What are we waiting for? Let’s get going already!
(The Dutchman dangles a krabby patty in front of Patrick.)
Flying Dutchman: So.. um… just keep your eye on this patty.
Patrick: Listen, am I going to be part of your crew or not?
(The Dutchman groans, and he and Patrick disappear.)
Sandy's Treedome
(Back at Sandy’s treedome, she admires her home being clean.)
Sandy: There we go. Everything spic and span, the way it should be.
(Suddenly, the Flying Dutchman appears.)
Flying Dutchman: Heh.. heh.. If it’s cleaning you enjoy, then have I got the ship for you.
Sandy: Stay back, you no-good ghost wrangler, ‘cause I’ve got a knuckle sandwich with your name on it!
Flying Dutchman: There’s no need to resort to violence… when I can just hypnotize you into obedience.
(He dangles an acorn in front of Sandy to hypnotize her. Then, they both vanish.)
Chum World
(SpongeBob arrives at Chum World.)
SpongeBob: Look out, Chum World, here I come!
(SpongeBob approaches the clownfish at the big top.)
Clownfish: You are one tough customer, but Plankton gave me specific orders not to let you into the big top.
SpongeBob: Listen clown, we can do this the easy way or the hard way.
Clownfish: Orders are orders, but uh maybe we could make a deal. I’ll light five targets nearby. And if you can extinguish them all really quickly, maybe I could use it as an excuse to leave this door.
SpongeBob: Light them up and staaand back!
(After winning the target challenge…)
SpongeBob: I beat your challenge, clown, so take your stinky breath elsewhere. Come on. Shake a fin. Move it!
(The clownfish retreats into the big top.)
(SpongeBob visits the Porthole Plunge minigame.)
SpongeBob: What do I need to play this game?
Clownfish: All you need is a good throwing arm to play the Porthole Plunge. You gotta try to plug a ball in each of the 3 portholes on the side of the ship. Understand? Keep your eye on the anchor and start shooting hoops!
(After winning at Porthole Plunge…)
Clownfish: That was luck, all luck. I mean, nice job there, sport. Here’s your prize.
(He gives SpongeBob a letter tile before running off.)
(SpongeBob visits the Inflato minigame.)
SpongeBob: How is this game played?
Clownfish: Okay, the Inflato game works like this: the balloon is surrounded by four buttons. You gotta slam all the buttons really fast to blow the balloon up and pop it. Do you need me to repeat that? Start stomping!
(Soon, SpongeBob wins the Inflato minigame and earns a letter tile.)
(At the Chum Putt minigame…)
SpongeBob: Do I just roll around to play this game? I can do that.
Clownfish: The object of Chum Putt is to roll this ball to the top of the course. But you’ve got to hit all the goals along the way. So do you wanna give it a try? Let’s get this ball rolling!
(Soon, SpongeBob wins the Chum Putt minigame and earns a letter tile.)
(Later, SpongeBob finds Plankton holding the last letter tile.)
Plankton: You won't tread on me, goody two shoes!
(Plankton runs away while SpongeBob chases him. Eventually, he grabs the tile and defeats Plankton.)
Plankton: Meddling sponge!
(Plankton retreats.)
Bikini Bottom
(SpongeBob meets Larry at the Goo Lagoon bus stop.)
SpongeBob: Hi, Larry! Where does this bus go?
Larry the Lobster: Everyone knows this is the bus to Goo Lagoon, the land of eternal sun and surf. I’m just waiting for my friend to show up so I can give him my extra bus ticket.
SpongeBob: An extra ticket! Could I borrow it for a while? I haven’t been to the Goo Lagoon in ages.
Larry the Lobster: Sorry, little dude. I only have one extra bus ticket.
SpongeBob: Puh-leease?
Larry the Lobster: Nope. No can do.
SpongeBob: But I just want to borrow it!
Larry the Lobster: Listen, nothing will convince me to give away this extra ticket. Well, maybe for 50 jellyfish. Which I can use to make my favorite snack!
(After collecting 50 jellyfish, SpongeBob returns to Larry at the bus stop.)
Larry the Lobster: For the last time, I’m not giving away my extra bus ticket.
SpongeBob: I’m not here for your measly ticket, Larry. No, I was taking a long stroll to think of all the ways I can use these jellyfish. There’s jellyfish jam and jellyfish jambalaya. Candied jellyfish and jelly-pot-pie. Tentacle twists and jelly pops.
Larry the Lobster: I can’t stand it anymore! Take the bus ticket and hand over those jellyfish!
(He gives SpongeBob the Goo Lagoon bus ticket and grabs the 50 jellyfish before heading off.)
Goo Lagoon
(SpongeBob arrives at Goo Lagoon.)
SpongeBob: Goo Lagoon… the sand… the surf… There is nothing like being at the ocean, except being under the ocean.
(SpongeBob finds Larry at the smoothie stand.)
SpongeBob: Gee, Larry, this place is ocean swell. Thanks again for loaning me your extra ticket.
Larry the Lobster: Well, well, well. Look at what the tide washed in. It’s that dude who catches jellyfish. Try to keep your distance, okay? I don’t want any of my friends to see us talking together.
SpongeBob: Uh, sure thing, Larry. But can you tell me where you got that belt? It’s got a really nifty letter tile on it.
Larry the Lobster: You mean my championship belt? I won this at the Goo Lagoon tough man tournament. Now stop talking with me, okay? People might see us.
SpongeBob: What if I just sing to you? Then maybe no one will notice. (sings) Oh, there once were two fellows who met at the beach. One needed a belt that seemed out of reach.
Larry the Lobster: That’s it! I’m out of here, dude! Maybe I can find some peace and quiet at the lighthouse.
(Larry runs off to the lighthouse. SpongeBob meets Rusty by the pier entrance.)
SpongeBob: Hey, old timer. What’s with this pier?
Rusty Scupper: This pier handles all the shipping for Bikini Bottom. We can handle orders of any type or size. Our next shipment is going to be a huge load of magic bottles. Seems like everyone’s trying to bottle up that Dutchman on account of his curse. Do you want to order one?
SpongeBob: Do you mean I can get one here?
Rusty Scupper: Sure, no problem at all. It costs only 300 sand dollars, tax included. Just let me know when you’re ready to pay for your order.
(Later, SpongeBob pays Rusty 300 sand dollars.)
SpongeBob: I’d like to order that magic bottle, please. And here’s the sand dollars to pay for it.
Rusty Scupper: Your order will be on the next boat. But.. er… she won’t be able to dock until the lighthouse is active, on account of foul weather.
SpongeBob: What’s wrong with the weather? It seems nice enough to me.
Rusty Scupper: Well, you never heard it from me, but the captain of the delivery boat has actually been having a little eye trouble lately, so he needs the lighthouse beacon to help guide him into dock. The only problem is the repairs to the lighthouse were never finished, so someone still has to get up there and turn on that beacon.
(SpongeBob traverses the lighthouse and turns on the beacon. Afterwards, he finds Larry.)
Larry the Lobster: You again? I already told you that I’m not giving up my championship belt. Now stop asking me about it, dude!
SpongeBob: I can see that my song needs another verse. (sings) Oh, there once were two fellows who met at the beach. One needed a belt that seemed out of reach. It had a big letter that would open a treasure. But the big guy who wore it did not want to remove it
Larry the Lobster: Tartar sauce! Where can I go to get away from you? Maybe I can hide at that old shipwreck.
(SpongeBob finds Larry at the shipwreck.)
Larry the Lobster: I really mean it this time, dude! No talking, no singing, and no way I’m taking off my tough man championship belt!
SpongeBob: That’s it, Larry. You give me no choice but to invoke my greatest singing powers. Prepare yourself. (sings) Oh, there once were two fellows who met at the beach. One needed a belt that seemed out of reach. It had a big letter that would open a treasure. But the big guy who wore it didn’t want to remove it, so SpongeBob decided to sing him this song. If you think I’ll give up, boy are you wrong!
Larry the Lobster: Okay, that’s enough! If you want my belt so bad, then you’ll have to win it the same way I did in the tough man arena. Just climb on board when you think you’re ready, tough guy.
(The two head up to the ship.)
Larry the Lobster: The rules are real simple. We get a short amount of time to bust stuff up. The person with the highest score at the end wins the belt. But I’m warning you…. Anything goes! Got any questions? Then let the battle begin!
(After SpongeBob beats Larry in the arena…)
Larry the Lobster: You’ve got a lot of heart, little dude. The championship belt is yours! Time for a kelp smoothie.
(Larry gives SpongeBob the letter tile and leaves. Later, SpongeBob returns to Rusty, having turned on the beacon.)
SpongeBob: Alright, I turned on the lighthouse beacon. Is there anything else that has to be done? Anything at all?
Rusty Scupper: That’s everything! The boat should arrive any time now. I’ll go open the gate. You better get on the end of the pier or you might miss the boat!
(SpongeBob runs over to the end of the pier.)
SpongeBob: I hope I made it in time. Yes! I see the boat now. It’s getting closer.
(The boat sails close to the end.)
SpongeBob: Getting closer. Looking good.
(It gets closer and closer.)
SpongeBob: Not slowing down, but definitely getting closer.
(On the boat, the Dutchman appears and scares the captain away. He then commandeered the ship.)
SpongeBob: Getting really close. Still not slowing down.
(The Flying Dutchman laughs evilly as he steers the boat directly toward SpongeBob.)
SpongeBob: Too… close… must move legs. Hurry!
(He runs for his life as the boat tears through the pier, smashing debris everywhere. He makes it back to the beach safely.)
Rusty Scupper: There’s no reason for me to stick around now that the pier’s demolished. If only I was younger, I’d check through that wreckage for anything useful. It’s back to Jellyfish Fields for me.
(Rusty leaves the beach.)
Bikini Bottom
(Later, SpongeBob returns to Bikini Bottom, where the Dutchman appears before him.)
Flying Dutchman: Bwah ha ha ha haaa! The time has come for you to join my ghostly crew.
(SpongeBob gasps in horror.)
French Narrator: Fear not, my little friend. Remember what the book said? The treasures you have found will protect you from his magic!
Flying Dutchman: Show some respect for your new captain!
(The Dutchman dangles a golden spatula in front of SpongeBob. However, it has no effect on the sponge, who just laughs it off.)
Flying Dutchman: Aaaaaaaargh!
French Narrator: See? His powers have become as limp as stewed seaweed.
Flying Dutchman: Hey, go easy on me. I’m not the ghost I used to be, but who is?
SpongeBob: Go SpongeBob! Go self!
French Narrator: But do not be overconfident. You must still find the remaining treasures if you’re going to break the Dutchman’s spell over your friends.
Flying Dutchman: You’ll never find all my treasures!
(The Dutchman disappears into thin air.)
(Back at SpongeBob’s home, the Flying Dutchman’s pirate ship floats above it. A pirate crewmate comes to talk to the ghost.)
Pirate: Beggin’ your pardon, Captain, but we’ve located the little varmint who’s been giving you all this trouble.
Flying Dutchman: Ah hah!
Pirate: Shall we continue moving our cargo down below?
Flying Dutchman: Nay. Over the side! You don’t stand a chance, SquarePants!
(They proceed to rain down the cargo on SpongeBob’s home. He tries to go for the front door, but a safe blocks it. Once SpongeBob makes it out through the back door, a cannon is seen in the backyard.)
French Narrator: Look there! One of those cannons survived the fall from the Dutchman’s ship. He may have given you the very thing you need to find your friends.
SpongeBob: Now that’s what I call a special delivery!
French Narrator: Why don’t you jump inside and see where it leads?
(He uses the cannon to blast off to the sky.)
The Flying Dutchman's Graveyard
(Later, SpongeBob arrives at the Flying Dutchman’s graveyard.)
SpongeBob: (pants) G-Gary! P-Patrick! S-Sandy! Well, I tried, but it looks like no one’s here. I m-might as well go home.
French Narrator: Brace up, little fellow. Your friends are counting on you now more than ever. Only you can save them from the revenge of the Flying Dutchman.
SpongeBob: You’re right! I’ve come too far to let them down now!
(He gulps and laughs nervously. Then, he comes across a crewmate.)
Pirate: Avast, matey. Who goes there? Be you here to steal my booty?
SpongeBob: Oh, believe me, I have no interest in touching your booty. I just want to find my friends and get them home.
Pirate: You must mean those new crew members. Arhhh! The Dutchman’s got all them fancy britches on his ship, while we’re stuck out here in the graveyard.
SpongeBob: Wow, that doesn’t sound very fair to me.
Pirate: To make matters worse, someone grabbed my booty while I was polishing this cannon. So now I’m stuck out here with no pay!
SpongeBob: I wish I could do something to help you, mister pirate. But I need to find a way to get past that other ship if I’m ever going to get my friends out of here.
Pirate: I’ll tell you what. You bring me one sack of booty and I’ll see what I can do to help you get across.
(When you give him the booty…)
Pirate: Now that was one loaded booty sack! First, jump into the cannon. Then, aim yourself. When you’re ready, press the action button to fire yourself out of the cannon.
(SpongeBob uses the cannon to fly to another part, where he finds another pirate.)
Pirate 2: Hold it right there, you thieving little scallop! Aren't you the one who's been digging around my booty sack?
SpongeBob: Oh do you mean the booty stuffed in the crack of your ship? Um, no. I don't know anything about that.
Pirate 2: It was probably the Dutchman again. His booty is bigger than anyone's, but he still comes out here to get his hands on even more. He just can't get enough booty!
SpongeBob: Will you let me use your cannon if I bring some fresh booty?
Pirate 2: Sure, if you can make it across that inferno to the next ship. I think I saw some just kinda sitting around over there, if you catch my drift.
(When you give him the booty…)
Pirate 2: That sack was so big, I could barely get my hands around all that booty! Go ahead and use my cannon whenever you want. I’m going to hide this where the Dutchman can never find it.
(SpongeBob uses the cannon to fly to another part, where he finds another pirate.)
Pirate 3: None shall pass, especially booty thieves!
SpongeBob: No booty thieves here. Just us pirates. Arhh!
Pirate 3: I could've sworn I saw someone who looked like you just before my booty was pinched. I used to love warming my booty in this place, but now I have no booty at all.
SpongeBob: So if I understand this correctly, you wouldn't turn down some new booty, even if it came wrapped in dirty, old canvas?
Pirate 3: Are you kidding me? Everyone wants more booty, no matter what package it comes in. And I'd much rather by playing with my booty than guarding this old cannon.
(When you give him the booty…)
Pirate 3: Wow, where did you get this? You must really know where to find the best booty. Keep an eye on that cannon for me, okay?
(SpongeBob uses the cannon to fly to another part, where he finds yet another pirate.)
Pirate 4: You there. Stand fast and identify yourself!
SpongeBob: Let me guess. You lost some booty. You want some more booty. (groans)
Pirate 4: Gee, uh. How did you know?
SpongeBob: That's the way it is with you pirates. Booty this, booty that! Just stand aside and let me get you some more so you'll let me use your cannon, okay?
Pirate 4: Er... okay. I'll just wait for you here.
(When you give him the booty…)
Pirate 4: Thanks for the you-know-what. Bon voyage!
(Later, SpongeBob arrives at the Dutchman's ship, where he frees his friends from the Dutchman's magic.)
Squidward: What took you so long, SpongeBob?
Patrick: Aw, but I liked being a pirate!
Sandy: Go get him, SpongeBob!
Mr. Krabs: Nice going, SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: (to Gary) Quick Gary, over the side!
(After SpongeBob’s friends are on the small dinghy, the Flying Dutchman appears to confront the sponge.)
Flying Dutchman: Well, well. So you’ve got my old flying dinghy over the side, and all your friends onto it. But at least you won’t get away from me. You’ll be my cabin boy from now until the seas dry up.
SpongeBob: Give it up, Dutchman. Your haunting nights are numbered.
Flying Dutchman: I’ll wipe the deck with you, sponge!
French Narrator: Psst! Hallo! I do not recommend that you antagonize him right now.
SpongeBob: Aw, who’s afraid of the big, bad Dutchman?
French Narrator: You don’t understand. The book you borrowed from Squidward was not completely accurate. In fact it was a little out of date.
SpongeBob: Uh oh.
French Narrator: According to the new edition, the treasures you gathered have made you MOSTLY immune to the Dutchman’s powers. But not completely immune. So be ready for a tough fight.
SpongeBob: (nervously chuckles)I’m not ready! I’m not ready!
Flying Dutchman: You don’t stand a chance, SquarePants!
(After the boss fight, SpongeBob opens the bottle and uses it to suck the Dutchman in.)
Flying Dutchman: Argh! Oof! SHIVER ME TIMBEEERRRRRSSSSS!
(Afterwards, he joins his friends as they fly off on the dinghy.)
Patrick: Where are we going now, SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: I don’t know, Patrick. What do you think, Mr. Krabs?
Mr. Krabs: To the Krusty Krab, everyone, for a feast like no other!
SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs, I’m so happy!
Sandy: Yee-haw! That’s what I call a celebration!
Patrick: Yea! Yee-haw! Woo hoo hoo hoo!
Mr. Krabs: (laughs; then) Of course, you know this is coming out of your paychecks.
Alternate Cutscenes
(This happens if Squidward beats SpongeBob to the Krusty Krab)
Squidward: See Mr Krabs? I told you SpongeBob would show up eventually. I sure hope you're not mad about having to wait because then someone might not be picked as your employee of the month.
SpongeBob: I can explain! Really! There was this accident, and an earthquake, and then this big whirlpool opened up above me! Oh please Mr Krabs! You gotta pick me for employee of the month!
Mr. Krabs: All right, you two, stop your jabbering. I’ve got some difficult news to tell you. Business has been very slow lately, so I’m going to shut down the Krusty Krab until it picks up again.
SpongeBob: Sssshut down, the Kr-krusty Krrraaa… I think I’m going to faint.
Mr. Krabs: You boys can hang around here or go home, but I can’t pay you one way or the other. Sorry.
(Mr. Krabs goes into the kitchen to bemoan his struggling business.)
Squidward: Well, isn’t that just great? I’m going home to think of some ways to pay the bills. So long, SpongeBob.
