==Story==
[In the Bulldogs' gym, the team is practicing shooting]
Larry: (chucks the ball towards the hoop)
Patrick: (pulls out a pistol) Die, suckah! (shoots the ball)
SpongeBob: Pat, we've discussed this. When we say we're “shooting basketballs” it doesn't mean we're actually SHOOTING them.
Patrick: Oh, okay. (shoots Mr. Krabs in the butt)
Krabs: AHHH!!! What was that for?
Patrick: You have a big butt!
Lexi: What about my butt? (giggles)
Patrick: Save it for later, babe.
Plankton: Disgusting.
Krabs: You're disgusting, Plankton.
Plankton: Touche. 
[LeBron is in the corner, on his laptop]
SpongeBob: Whatcha doin', Coach?
LeBron: Nothing.
Larry: You're the coach. Come coach us. 
LeBron: I'm reading our game results from the past week: Monay we lost 78 to 2 against the Corral Clammers. Tuesday we lost 2 to 100 against the Boss-Town Bonecrushers. Wednesday we won 2 to 0 against the Daisy Town Dandelions. Thursday we tied 0 to 0 against the Sting Rays. Friday we lost 118 to 2 against the Sperm Whales.
Larry: You have all that on your computer?
LeBron: Nah, I'm on Skype.
SpongeBob: With who?
LeBron: My wife and kids.
Squidward: Awww, that's sweet.
LeBron: Sweet? It's terrible!!! I miss them like crazy!!
Patrick: They should come live in Bikini Bottom. (starts making out with Lexi)
LeBron: Nah. Actually, there's something I need to tell you.
Larry: We're all ears.
LeBron: On land, I'm currently “missing”. The media's been trying to find me ever since I dissappeared to Bikini Bottom. Living here is a serious commitment for me.
SpongeBob: Wow.
LeBron: Fortunately, I sent Luis to take my place on the Cleveland Calaviers. 
Larry: That was a very good move.
LeBron: But I don't think I can hide much longer. My wife and kids are the only people who know where I really am. They've been keeping this a secret for a long time now, and if they spill the beans....I'm ruined.
Krabs: What about Luis? Doesn't he technically know? 
LeBron: True.....I never thought about that....
[On land]
Luis: (at a Cleveland Calaviers' basketball practice) Wassup, guys? I'm here!
Player: Listen, Luis. When are you gonna tell us your secret?
Luis: What?
Coach: What did you do with LeBron? Where's his body?
Luis: Whaaaat??? He's ALIVE.
Player: So you kidnapped him!
Luis: No, he's...on a little trip. I'm not allowed to tell you, but I promise he'll be back!
Coach: (points a gun at him) We'll have to this the old fashion way.
Luis: (gulp) 
Coach: You've danced around the subject long enough. LeBron's been missing for over a year, and you've yet to tell us where he is.
Luis: I couldn't do that to LeBron! It'd ruin him!
Coach: (cocks the gun) You've got 10 seconds, Antonio. 
10 seconds later
Coach: (to his players) Call the police! Call the marines! Call the Navy Seals! Call the president! Call Ryan Seacrest, I don't even care! LeBron's location has been revealed!
Luis: I told you where he's at, but please! Don't take him!
Coach: (smacks him) I'm getting LeBron BACK on this team, understand?
Luis: (gulp) Yessir.
[In Bikini Bottom]
LeBron: (sitting outside the gym, staring up at the sky)
Larry: (comes outside; sits beside him) Do we need to talk?
LeBron: About what?
Larry: You've been all depressed and stuff, man. It ain't cool. 
LeBron: Whatever.
Larry: C'mon, man. I know something's bothering you.
LeBron: I just really miss home....
Larry: Are you kidding me? This IS your new home!
LeBron: Yeah, but just temporarily.
Larry: (sigh) Look, man. I'm not gonna let you get all emotional on me.
LeBron: Trust me, I never wanna be ON you.
Larry: Touche. That'd be a bit weird.
LeBron: Listen, I'm not leaving. I love you guys. You're my team. And until the season's over, I promise to stay here.
Larry: Thx, bro. (fist bumps him)
LeBron: Now let's get inside and do this jank.
Larry: Roger that.
[They go inside the gym]
SpongeBob: Hey, Coach! Where were you?
LeBron: I was doing my business.
Larry: Well, now, you don't need to lie....
LeBron: I actually was. You just didn't notice.
Larry: Awwhh, I thought I felt something wet...
Patrick: Well, we ARE underwater.
Larry: Shuddap.
Lexi: (kisses Patrick)
Patrick: Awwh, yeah baby!
LeBron: Shut up, lovebirds. We've got game strategies to go over!
[A man in a black suit busts into the room]
Man: LeBron! Back up your things, you're coming with us.
LeBron: Who are you?
Man: I'm an FBI agent. And you've been missing for over a year. It's been reported that you've been living in an “undersea fantasy world”.
Larry: Fantasy? (pounds his fist)
LeBron: Easy, Larry.
Man: We can do this the easy way. (pulls out a gun) Or the hard way.
LeBron: I'm going NOWHERE until the Bulldogs' second basketball season is over.
Man: (chuckles) I had a feeling you'd say that. That's why I brought some backup. (whistles) Come on in, boys!
[The United States Marines busts into the gym]
Man: Surrender, LeBron. This is serious business.
LeBron: What's you name?
Man: Justin Samuel.
LeBron: Shut up, Justin Beiber!
Justin: Nobody calls me Justin Beiber!
LeBron: Justin Beiber! Wassup, Beiber Boy???
Justin: You fool! Take him away, boys!
[The Marines capture LeBron and begin dragging him out of the building]
SpongeBob: Coach!
Patrick: Noooo!!!!! (Let's make out, Lexi)'
Lexi: Coach!!! You can't take him!!! (Sure thing, babe)
Larry: Give us our coach, back!
Justin: No way, freaks. He belongs above ground.
LeBron: Why do you want me so bad? I said I'm coming back eventually! Even my wife and kids are handling it better than you!
Justin: Because, I'll make millions!
LeBron: What?!
Justin: I'll be a hero! The headlines will read 'Hero Saves Missing Legend LeBron James'!
LeBron: You don't care about me! You're just a greedy jackass!
Justin: Imma be a rich, jackass. Take 'em away, boys.
[The Marines take LeBron into a government vessel; Justin hops in, and drives to the surface]
SpongeBob: (crying) NOOOOOO!!!! SHE WASN'T READY!!!!!
Krabs: ….you mean HE wasn't ready?
SpongeBob: No, I'm making a pop culture reference!
Patrick: Oh!! Pop tarts!!!
Lexi: Yaaay!!!!
Plankton: (facepalm) Oww...I crushed myself.
Squidward: Cuz you're the size of a peanut.
Plankton: I resent that!
Squidward: I know.
Plankton: :(
Larry: Guys! Y'all are bunch of WIMPS!!! I'm ashamed of you losers!!!!
Krabs: Not now, Larry! Please!
Larry: Coach needs our help! And you babies are gonna sit around crying about it? Let's take ACTION!!!
SpongeBob: To the surface?
Larry: You heard me. Together, people:
Everyone: TO THE SURFACE!!!
