    SpongeBob: I'm making memories.
    Plankton: Well, remember this! [punches SpongeBob in the face] Karen! Ooh, there she is! [jumps on the ground next to Patrick] Where the heck have you been? And where are those lightning berries I asked you for?
    Patrick: I ate them.
    Plankton: What are you talking about? You know you don't eat! Now take me home.

### SpongeBob SquarePants - You're Going to Pay... Phone [13.12b]

    Old Klopnodian man: Greetings, stranger. [The man's sudden appearance freaks out Mr. Krabs, making him scream.] Welcome to my emporium of wonders. Can I interest you in a traditional Klopnodian Spladunker? [he pulls out an anvil covered in pink fur as a chicken is heard clucking] Or perhaps a lightly used Flooda? [he pulls out a sweater made out of sausages as a cow is heard mooing]
    Mr. Krabs: No thanks, old timer. I just want me quarter. It seems to have hopped into your payphone here.
    Old Klopnodian man: Oh, I see. Well, I have no power to retrieve your coin, but I can let you have the payphone. For the low, low price of... free.
    Mr. Krabs: Free!? I'll take it!
    Old Klopnodian man: But be warned, that payphone comes with a curse! [thunder roars and a woman screams]
    Mr. Krabs: Really? How much does the curse cost?
    Old Klopnodian man: What? No, the curse is free. It comes with the phone.
    Mr. Krabs: Well, then, I'll take the curse too! [he picks up the payphone and leaves as he laughs]
    Old Klopnodian man: Heed my Kapritzka! Beware the call of the porch! Beware it! Ah, forget it.

    Painty: Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
    [SpongeBob opens the door, still in his underwear.]
    Kids: GrandPat Sea Star!
    [GrandPat crushes SpongeBob and Hans gives him SpongeBob's pants.]
    GrandPat: Huh? [falls into a bathtub] Woah!
    Painty: Absorbent and yellow and porous is he.
    [GrandPat's skin falls off and his bones disintegrate in the bathtub.]
    Kids: GrandPat Sea Star!
    Painty: If nautical nonsense be something you wish.
    [Four GrandPats groan as they pull four banners that spell out "GrandPat Sea Star."]
    Kids: GrandPat Sea Star!
    Realistic Fish Head: Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish!
    Kids: GrandPat Sea Star!
    Painty: Ready?
    Kids and Painty: GrandPat Sea Star! GrandPat Sea Star! GrandPat Sea Star! [GrandPat mumbles as his body contorts until he's back to his sea star shape. He falls, screaming, onto some letters spelling out his name. His pants fall off and hop across the letters. His scooter then falls from above and pushes him down.]
    Painty: GrandPat... Sea Star! [laughs]
    [We cut to the SpongeBob SquarePants logo as shown in the regular theme song, but the text is changed to Grandpat's own name, and it appewrs alongside a drawn GrandPat. GrandPat pulls out his dentures and they chatter the ending notes of the SpongeBob theme song. His dentures then bite his head.]
    GrandPat: Ah... It's good to be back home, where it's normal.
    Patrick: [offscreen] Hey, GrandPat. [pan to reveal GrandPat's entire family have wings and eyes similar to flies] Whatcha watching?
    GrandPat: [screams, but then relaxes] Eh, close enough.
    French Narrator: And so, we leave things a little bit weird. But that's how we like it here, in The Tidal Zone. [his arm comes through the TV screen and turns it off] Au revoir.
    GrandPat: Hey, I was watching that!
