== Transcript ==
(The episode starts with Nat, Shubie, Susie, and Baby Billy in Nancy and Frank's backyard) A football lands in front of Baby Billy. Baby Billy crawls towards the football. Nat grabs the football.
Nat: "Frank! Go long!" Nat throws the ball to Frank. Frank catches the ball. 
Frank: "Nice throw, Nat!" Isabel and Susie run past Frank. Isabel tags Susie.
Isabel: "You're it!" Susie chases after Isabel but struggles to catch up to her. The girls run past Shubie and Nancy who are sitting on lawn chairs.
Shubie: "Thanks for inviting us over during the long weekend, Nancy!"
Nancy: "Of course, Shubie! I wonder what's taking Martha so long. She said she'd be here by now." Tom, Martha and Tyler enter Nancy's backyard. Martha walks over to Nancy and Shubie.
Martha: "Hi, girls! Sorry we're late. I had to take Tyler to the doctor for a checkup."
Nancy: "Oh it's okay, Martha. I had to take Isabel for a checkup last week. When was the last time Susie's had a checkup, Shubie?"
Shubie: "Oh, I don't know, probably over a year ago." Nancy and Martha look at Shubie strangely.
Martha: "Susie hasn't gone for a checkup in over a year?"
Nancy: "You know that Bikini Bottom Elementary requires all of their students to get a physical every year, right? Susie might not be allowed to attend school if people find out." Shubie shrugs.
Shubie: "I guess I just forgot how long it's been since Susie's gone to the doctor. Well, I know what me and Susie are doing tomorrow."
(Scene cuts to Susie, Isabel and Tyler playing in Nancy and Frank's backyard) Susie notices that Tyler has a bandaid on his arm.
Susie: "Why is there a bandaid on your arm, Tyler?"
Tyler: "Oh, I had to get a shot when I went to the doctor today."
Susie: "Did it hurt?"
Tyler: "No, it didn't hurt at all because I'm so strong. My doctor says that only the toughest fish can survive getting a shot. I heard some guy's eyes popped out of his head after he got a shot!"
Isabel: "Well when I got a shot last week, my doctor told me that there was this one guy whose arm fell off after he got one! Have you gotten a shot lately, Susie?"
Susie: "No."
Tyler: "That's such a dumb question, Isabel. Obviously Susie hasn't gotten one. She'd be dead if she did."
Isabel: "Yeah, there's no way you'd survive, Susie."
Susie: "What? Why?"
Isabel: "Because you're not tough enough."
Tyler: "Yeah, you cry more than your little brother and he's a baby!" Tyler and Isabel laugh. Shubie walks over to them.
Shubie: "Hi kids! Hope you're all having fun! Susie, I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be taking you to the doctor tomorrow for a checkup." Shubie walks away.
Isabel: "Oooo! Susie's going to the doctor!"
Tyler: "You're definitely gonna die if you get a shot." Susie gulps.
(Scene cuts to Shubie and Susie sitting in the waiting room at a doctor's office) Shubie checks her watch.
Susie: "Mom, will I need to get a shot today?"
Shubie: "I don't know, Susie. The doctor will tell us."
Carol: "Susie Peterson, the doctor is ready to see you now."
Shubie: "Come on, Susie." Shubie and Susie walk over to Carol.
Carol: "Hi Shubie!"
Shubie: "Hi Carol! How's everything?"
Carol: "Great! My, look how big Susie's getting! Right this way." Carol leads Shubie and Susie down a hallway. Sadie and Debbie Rechid walk down the hallway past them.
Shubie: "Hi Sadie! Hi Debbie! What are you two doing here?"
Sadie: "Fred injured his leg again so we had to take him to the doctor. Why are you here, Shubie? Did Nat finally tell you that he doesn't love you anymore because you're obese?"
Shubie: "No, I'm just taking Susie for a checkup."
Sadie: "Oh." Sadie and Debbie walk away. Carol leads Shubie and Susie into a room.
Carol: "Here we are! You can have a seat, Susie. The doctor will be with you shortly." Carol exits the room. Dr. Forrest walks into the room.
Dr. Forrest: "Hi Shubie! Hi Susie!"
Shubie: "Hi Dr. Forrest."
Dr. Forrest: "Are you ready for your checkup, Susie?" Susie nods her head.
Dr. Forrest: "Great! Let's take your temperature." Dr. Forrest takes Susie's temperature.
Dr. Forrest: "Temperature's normal. Now stick out your tongue and say ah!" Susie sticks out her tongue. 
Susie: "Ah!" Dr. Forrest shines a flashlight into her mouth.
Dr. Forrest: "Nothing unusual here. Now it's time take your blood pressure." Dr. Forrest takes Susie's blood pressure.
Dr. Forrest: "Blood pressure looks good. Let's test those reflexes." Dr. Forrest hits Susie's knee with his medical hammer. Susie's leg kicks up.
Dr. Forrest: "Your daughter appears to be completely healthy, Mrs. Peterson."
Shubie: "That's great to hear!"
Dr. Forrest: "Yes. Now upon looking at Susie's file, it says that she's overdue for a shot. Let me get the right one. Ah, here it is. This will only take a moment, Susie, and then you'll be all good to go. I'll have Nurse Carol send Susie's updated medical file to her school."
Shubie: "Thank you, doctor." Dr. Forrest pulls a needle out of his drawer and walks towards Susie. 
(Zooms in on the needle) Susie starts to get nervous. Dr. Forrest kneels down in front of Susie.
Dr. Forrest: "Ok, Susie. It's time for your shot!" Susie screams and punches Dr. Forrest in the face. Dr. Forrest drops the needle. Shubie jumps out of her chair and checks on Dr. Forrest.
Shubie: "Dr. Forrest! Are you alright?" Susie runs out of the room.
(Scene cuts to Shubie and Susie returning home from the doctor's office) Susie walks upstairs to her room. Shubie walks into the kitchen where Nat is feeding Billy.
Nat: "Hi Shubie! What's wrong? You look upset." Shubie sighs.
Shubie: "Susie punched Dr. Forrest in the face today when he was trying to give her a shot."
Nat: "Are you serious?"
Shubie: "Yes, Nat. Now I'm going to schedule another appointment just so she can get this shot. I just don't get it! How could she be afraid of a little shot?"
Nat: "I think a lot of kids Susie's age are afraid of shots, Shubie. She'll probably grow out of it as she gets older."
Shubie: "Yeah, I guess you're right, Nat. I just hope she doesn't kick the doctor in the face next time."
(Scene cuts to Shubie and Susie driving to school the next day) Shubie parks her boat in front of the school's entrance. Susie exits the boat.
Susie: "Bye Mom!"
Shubie: "Bye Susie. Have a good day at school." Susie skips away. Sally parks her boat next to Shubie's. Sally's daughter exits Sally's boat and walks towards the entrance.
Sally: "Hi Shubie!" Shubie looks over and sees Sally. 
Shubie: "Oh, hi Sally! How are you doing… Wait a minute, is that Susie's lunch? Susie! Get over here!" Susie walks back over to Shubie's boat.
Susie: "What?"
Shubie: "You forgot your lunch, Susie. Kids these days, am I right?" Shubie hands Susie her lunch. Sally laughs.
Sally: "You said it! Hey, we should really schedule a play date for our daughters sometime."
Shubie: "That would be great! When were you thinking?"
Sally: "How does this weekend sound?"
Shubie: "This weekend is perfect! What do you think, Susie? Do you want to have a play date with Sally's daughter this weekend?"
Susie: "Sure!"
Shubie: "Great! Now get to school, Susie. You don't want to be late." Mabel walks over to Shubie's boat.
Mabel: "Oh no, you don't! Susie's not going anywhere!"
Shubie: "What's wrong, Mabel?"
Mabel: "Susie hasn't gotten a shot!"
Shubie: "How did you know that?"
Mabel: "I went through all of my student's medical records during the long weekend. It's not like I had anything better to do, and Susie's file shows that she hasn't gotten the shot that all Bikini Bottom Elementary students are required to get this year. She's not allowed back in school until she gets it." Mabel walks away.
Sally: "Susie's unvaccinated?! Sorry Shubie, but I'm going to have to cancel that play date. I don't know what kind of backwards thinking you and Nat believe in, but we believe in science at my house. Who knows what harmful diseases Susie could be infected with!" Sally drives away.
(Scene cuts to Shubie and Susie sitting in the waiting room at a doctor's office)
Carol: "Susie Peterson?"
Shubie: "Come on, Susie." Shubie and Susie walk over to Carol.
Carol: "Hi Shubie! Hi Susie!"
Shubie: "Hi Carol. Thank you for letting me schedule an appointment on such short notice." 
Carol: "Of course! I just want to let you know that you may have to wait a little while to see the doctor. He's currently performing surgery on another patient. I'm sorry, I thought he'd be finished by now."
Shubie: "Oh, it's okay! As long as Susie gets her shot, I'm happy." Carol leads Shubie and Susie down the hallway and into a room.
Carol: "The doctor will hopefully be with you soon." Carol walks away.
Shubie: "I can't believe I had to take the day off from work just so I could take you back to the doctor! There better not be any funny business this time, Susie. You're getting that shot today whether you like it or not. Ugh, I really need to go to the bathroom. Promise me you won't wander off if I run to the restroom?" 
Susie: "I promise, Mom."
Shubie: "Good. Stay here. I'll be right back, Susie." Shubie walks out of the room and towards the restroom. Susie sits down and waits for her mother to get back.
(Scene cuts to a flashback of Susie, Isabel and Tyler at Nancy's house)
Tyler: "I heard some guy's eyes popped out of his head after he got a shot!"
Isabel: "My doctor told me that there was this one guy whose arm fell off after he got one!"
Tyler: "You're definitely gonna die if you get a shot."
(Scene cuts back to Susie in the room) Susie gulps and starts sweating nervously. Susie looks around the room and sees an open window above a chair. Susie climbs onto the chair and crawls out of the window. Shubie walks back into the room.
Shubie: "Okay Susie, I'm back! Susie?"
(Scene cuts to Nat, Shubie, Susie and Baby Billy driving through town in Nat's boat)
Shubie: "You're lucky you have a baseball game tonight or you would be grounded right now, Susie! Your father and I spent the whole afternoon looking for you! We searched all over town!" 
Nat: "Let's not berate her now, Shubie. Wait until we get home after the game."
Shubie: "Okay. You're right, Nat." Nat parks his boat in the parking lot. Nat, Shubie, Susie and Baby Billy exit Nat's boat and start walking towards the baseball field. The Peterson's walk toward Nancy, Frank and Isabel who are taking Isabel's equipment out of their boat. Susie waves at Isabel.
Susie: "Hi Isabel! You ready to kick some Next Town tail today?" Nancy looks over and notices the Peterson's.
Nancy: "Shubie? What are you doing here?"
Shubie: "Huh? What do you mean, Nancy?"
Nancy: "Susie isn't allowed to play in the game today. All players are required by the league this year to get a shot and Susie hasn't gotten hers. In fact, any player who hasn't gotten a shot is not allowed to be within 100 feet of any baseball field. If someone on the other team sees Susie here, we'd have to forfeit the game." Shubie sighs.
Shubie: "You've got to be kidding me. Fine. Nat, take Susie home. I guess we'll just have to play with 9 players. I'd better change the batting lineup."
Nancy: "Oh you won't be making the lineup today, Shubie. Martha and I will be coaching the team today because you're not allowed to be the coach. The league rules clearly state that only parents of children who have gotten a shot are allowed to coach." Nancy, Frank and Isabel walk away towards the field. Nat, Shubie, Susie and Baby Billy walk back to their boat.
Shubie: "You have embarrassed me for the last time, Susie. I don't care if I have to stick the needle in myself, you're getting that shot tomorrow!"
(Scene cuts to Carol working at the front desk in the doctor's office) Shubie and Susie walk up to the front desk.
Carol: "Oh, hi Shubie! The doctor is ready to see Susie now. Follow me!"
Shubie: "Come on, Susie." Carol leads Shubie and Susie down the hallway and into a room.
Carol: "Have a seat. The doctor will be with you shortly." Carol walks away. Dr. Forrest walks into the room.
Dr. Forrest: "Hi Shubie! Hi Susie! Is Susie ready to get her shot today?"
Shubie: "She better be. Don't worry, doctor, I'll grab her fins to make sure she doesn't punch you again." Shubie grabs Susie's fins. Dr. Forrest chuckles.
Dr. Forrest: "Okay, this will only take a second." Dr. Forrest pulls out a needle. 
(Scene cuts to a flashback of Susie, Isabel and Tyler at Nancy's house)
Tyler: "Only the toughest fish can survive a shot."
Isabel: "There's no way you'd survive."
Tyler: "You're definitely gonna die."
(Scene cuts back to Susie in the room)
Susie gulps and starts sweating nervously. Dr. Forrest walks over to Susie to give her the shot. Just as Dr. Forrest is about to give Susie the shot, Susie screams and kicks him in the face.
Dr. Forrest: "Ow! My face!" Dr. Forrest drops the needle. Shubie gasps and lets go of Susie. Susie sprints out of the room.
Shubie: "Susie! Where do you think you're going? Oh no you don't! You're getting this shot whether you like it or not!" Shubie picks up the needle and chases after Susie.
(Scene cuts to Fred and a nurse standing in the hallway)
Nurse #1: "Okay Fred, the doctor says your leg is fully healed. You're cleared to go home now."
Fred: "Oh no, that's terrible news. Now I won't be able to see your beautiful face every day. Hey, what do you say me and you go out for dinner sometime?"
Susie: "Ah!" Susie sprints by in between Fred and the nurse.
Fred: "What the-"
Shubie: "Susie! Get back here this instant!" Shubie runs over Fred and continues chasing after Susie.
Fred: "MY LEG!"
(Scene cuts to two nurses chatting in the hallway)
Nurse #2: "He was, like, so flirting with her!" Nurse #3 gasps.
Nurse #3: "Oh my gosh! Talk about drama!" Susie runs past them.
Shubie: "Susie! You'd better stop running or you're in big trouble!" Shubie sprints past the two nurses.
(Scene cuts to Jimmy-Gus handing Carol some flowers at the front desk)
Carol: "Oh Jimmy, it was so sweet of you to surprise me at work today!" Susie runs past them and exits the building. Shubie chases after Susie.
Shubie: "I don't care if I have to chase you all over town! You're getting this shot, Susie!" Shubie chases Susie through town.
(Scene cuts to Patty Rechid giving two fish a tour of a house that's for sale)
Patty: "And that concludes the tour!"
Husband: "We'll take it!"
Patty: "Wonderful! You two made an excellent choice. This neighborhood is the perfect place to start a family." Susie runs past them.
Susie: "Help! My mom's going to kill me!"
Shubie: "You can't run from me forever, Susie!" Shubie chases after Susie.
Wife: "Was that woman chasing after her daughter with a syringe?" Patty laughs awkwardly.
Patty: "Why don't I show you two a nice house on the other side of town?"
(Scene cuts to Susie running down the street) Susie turns the corner and continues running.
Susie: "I've got to find somewhere to hide. A bush! Perfect!" Susie jumps into the bush. Shubie turns the corner.
Shubie: "Susie! You get back here right now! Huh, where did she go? Susie! Susie! Where the heck could she be?" Shubie looks around for Susie but can't find her. Shubie walks away from the bush.
Susie (whispers): "Phew!" Susie accidentally breaks a stick in the bush. Shubie turns around.
Shubie: "Huh?" Shubie looks around but doesn't see Susie. Shubie shrugs and continues walking away. Susie crawls out of the bush and starts walking down the street in the opposite direction of Shubie. Susie looks over her shoulder and doesn't see Shubie.
Susie: "She's finally gone." Susie bumps into Shubie. Shubie grabs Susie.
Shubie: "Did you really think you could hide from me? I've got you now! It's time for you to get the shot, Susie!" Susie starts to cry.
Susie: "Mom, stop! This shot will kill me! It makes people's eyes pop out of their head!" Shubie laughs.
Shubie: "Now where did you hear that, Susie?" Susie stops crying.
Susie: "Tyler told me." Shubie continues laughing.
Shubie: "Tyler has no idea what he's talking about. You have nothing to be afraid of, Susie. This vaccine is perfectly harmless, and it'll help protect you from diseases."
Susie: "So it won't make my arms fall off?"
Shubie: "No, silly! You'll be perfectly fine. Did you really think I would make you take something that could kill you?!"
Susie: "No, I guess not."
Shubie: "Good. I would never put you in that kind of danger, Susie. Now stand still so I can give you this shot."
Susie: "Is it going to hurt? That needle looks pretty big."
Shubie: "You'll be fine, Susie. You'll hardly feel it. Now hold still." Shubie gives Susie the shot.
Susie: "Huh, that wasn't bad at all. It barely even hurts."
Shubie: "Told you! Now let's go home so I can give you a bandaid."
(Scene cuts to Shubie dropping Susie off at school the next day)
Susie: "Bye Mom!" Susie grabs her lunch and exits Shubie's boat.
Shubie: "Bye Susie! Have a great day at school." Susie skips over to Isabel and Tyler who are also heading into school.
Isabel: "Hi Susie, what's that on your arm?"
Susie: "Oh this? It's a bandaid from my shot."
Tyler: "You survived getting a shot?! I thought for sure you were gonna die."
Isabel: "Yeah, I guess you are pretty tough after all, Susie." Susie smiles. Nazz-Mimi parks her boat next to Shubie's. Taylor exits Nazz's boat and walks towards the school entrance.
Nazz: "Have a nice day at school, Taylor! Oh, hi Shubie! I heard that Susie finally got her shot and can go back to school. It's good to have her back."
Shubie: "Thanks, Nazz!"
Nazz: "You're welcome! Speaking of vaccinations, I recently took my baby to the doctor to get that new vaccine that all the doctors are recommending for infants. Has Billy gotten it yet?"
Shubie: "Nope, I think I'll have him get it next month. I don't think the doctor wants to see my family for a long time." Shubie laughs.
