Now You're Playing With Power

Now You're Playing With Power is the third episode of SpongeThorne.
== Transcript ==
(The episode opens with a construction team on the site of Stoker Studios.)
Construction Guy: Aight, we gotta demolish this whole place. The company's liquidated.
Construction Guy 2: It truly is the end of an era for television.
Construction Guy: Phil! Make like Miley Cyrus and go in like a wrecking ball!
Phil: Okay!
(A wrecking ball destroys part of the building. SpongeBot walks past the construction site.)
SpongeBot: (sighs) That Hoopla boy really is running this town into the ground.
(She sees a Game Boy on the floor)
SpongeBot: Huh?
(She picks it up)
SpongeBot: This is a Game Boy!
(She looks around her)
SpongeBot: Well, as the saying goes, finders hoarders.
(He walks off with the console. Cut to a news report. The camera slowly pans out to Aidan watching it.)
Reporter: And it is a sad day for SpongeThorne as the recently founded but moderately successful Stoker Television Studios has ceased operations. The site will be reformed into a parking lot. Piers Shep-
(A knock is heard at the door. Aidan turns off the screen.)
Aidan: Ugh.
(Aidan answers the door to find SpongeBot)
Aidan: Oh, hi Bot.
SpongeBot: Hey, Aids.
Aidan: Come in.
(SpongeBot steps in and Aidan closes the door.)
SpongeBot: So, check this out!
(He holds up the console)
Aidan: Oh, wow! Is that a Game Boy Advance SP Blue Edition?
SpongeBot: It's something alright. I found it on my walk home from work. I know you're into this sort of thing.
(pause)
SpongeBot: Uh… do you want it?
Aidan: (chuckles) Why would I want it? (he takes it from him) I need it!
SpongeBot: I thought you might say that.
Aidan: Thanks, mate! This will go nicely with my collection.
SpongeBot: You're welcome. Here, let's test this bad boy out-
(SpongeBot takes the console back and turns it on)
Aidan: Hey, that's mi-
(a familiar 8-bit song begins playing)
SpongeBot: Look, Super Mare-io Brothers was in here, what do you know?
Aidan: SpongeBot, give it-
SpongeBot: (grins) This is great!
Aidan: Bo-
SpongeBot: Let's start playing!
(SpongeBot presses start but nothing happens. She stares at it for a few seconds.)
Aidan: Huh.
SpongeBot: I think the game's bust-
(Mare-io emerges from the screen)
Mare-io: It's a me! Mare-io!
SpongeBot: Woah! Is the game supposed to-
Mare-io: Let's go save the princess! Wahoo!
SpongeBot: Uh, Aida-
(Mare-io pulls SpongeBot into the game. The Game Boy consequently falls to the floor. Aidan stares in shock)
Aidan: What the fu-
(Theme song. Cut to a shot of the Hoopla household, then to Hoopla and Dave watching a game show on TV.)
Washley Brald (on TV): Welcome back to "Say that Answer!", the only show where you have to say that answer, I think. Anywhere, time for the ten thousand dollar question.
Dave: Ooh, spicy!
Washley Brald (on TV): In what year did Scooby-Doo premiere on television? Was it a) 2012, b) 1967 or c) 1969?
Hoopla: 69, dudes!
Contestant (on TV): Ooh, this is a tough one, Washley-
Hoopla: No it ain't, it's 1969!
Contestant (on TV): but I think I'll have to go with…
Hoopla: 1969!
Contestant (on TV): 1967.
Hoopla: Gah!
Washley Brald (on TV): And is that your final answer?
Contestant (on TV): Yep.
Dave: It's alright, Hoopla, you can't get every answer right.
Hoopla: But I'm telling you, it's 1969!
Washley Brald (on TV): And the answer is… c) 1969.
(Hoopla jumps up from his seat)
Hoopla: Yes! Hoopla does it aga-
(A frisbee is thrown over his head. Mr. Sprinkles runs after it.)
Dave: What the- Mr. Sprinkles?!
Mr. Sprinkles: woof
(Mr. Sprinkles knocks Hoopla to the floor and retrieves the frisbee. Temmie runs after him.)
Temmie: sowee hoop, mista spwinkles just weally wanted to pway!
Dave: It's fine, Temmie. You didn't hurt anything important.
Hoopla: (getting up) Like me, maybe?
Dave: Sorry. I'm lucky to be a ghost, I haven't felt pain in years!
(Dave laughs as the phone goes off. Hoopla and Temmie both race to the phone.)
Temmie: tem get i-
(Hoopla answers it)
Hoopla: Hello? You've reached Paranormal Investigators of the Strange and-
Aidan: (on the other end) Hey, is this Hoopla?
Hoopla: Yeah, what's wrong?
Aidan: It's me, Aidan. We, uh, met last week at the TV studio.
Hoopla: Oh, yeah, I recall.
Aidan: Well, uh… I'm not really sure how to explain this but I kinda need your help.
Hoopla: We're on our way!
Aidan: Thanks for this. I live on 11 Avenue O.
Temmie: 2 da temmobile!
(We see a transition reminiscent of classic Batman to Hoopla, Dave and Temmie awkwardly sitting on a crowded bus with their machinery. After a pause, Dave opens his mouth.)
Dave: So… how is everyone's day going?
Hoopla: We really need a van or something.
Temmie: agreed.
(Cut to three entering Aidan's house)
Aidan: Come in, come in! What took you so long?
Dave: Public transport is both a blessing and a curse.
Hoopla: Dave! Don't tell them that! It makes us look unprofessional!
Dave: Well we are unprofessional, Hoop.
Hoopla: (sighs) Whatever. What's the problem, uh… is it Kaiden?
Aidan: Aidan.
Hoopla: Oh right. Why did you call us here?
Aidan: It's about my friend SpongeBot.
Hoopla: Sounds like a nice guy. Where is she?
(Aidan holds up the Game Boy. A sprite resembling SpongeBot is in the game.)
Aidan: Well-
Dave: Motherfuck! Is he in that Game Boy?
Hoopla: Oh wow. Just wow. This really is quite the situation.
Dave: Look at that! It's like a tiny little whatever your friend's name is! I used to rock one of these Game Boys before I, well, died. This is so cool!
Aidan: Cool?! Cool?! Are you fucking mental? My friend is trapped in a video game!!! What the fuck? How the fuck? Why the fuck?
Temmie: tem nus not condone did stwong wanguage.
(Hoopla takes out his unnamed torch thing and begins scanning the area)
Aidan: Sorry. I just have so many mixed feelings right now. What are his parents gonna say?
Dave: The guy still lives with his parents? That's so sad.
Hoopla: Not for me. I'm an orphan.
Dave: Oh.
(pause)
Dave: I'm so sor-
(The torch begins beeping and display the number "13118915")
Hoopla: There's something here!
Dave: Heh-heh, you sure that isn't just me?
Hoopla: Nah, I already took that into consideration ages ago.
(Hoopla pats Aidan on the back)
Hoopla: Your Game Boy is haunted.
Aidan: WHAT-
(Temmie snuggles up to Hoopla in fear)
Dave: Sweet!
Aidan: Will you be able to get SpongeBot back, or-
Hoopla: Aidan, if there's one thing you should know about me it's that I make no promises.
(Hoopla turns on his ghost sucker and attempts to capture the spirit in the console. Hoopla and Temmie begin rising into the air.)
Temmie: WUT IS HAPANING?
Hoopla: I DON'T KNOW!
(Hoopla and Temmie get sucked into the Game Boy. Dave and Aidan stare at it again.)
Aidan: What the hell?! Again?!
Dave: You don't get out much, do you?
(Cut to inside the video game where Hoopla and Temmie are falling from the sky. They hit the hard ground facefirst.)
Temmie: owie
(they two get up)
Hoopla: That's payback for earlier!
Temmie: actually dat was mistwa spwinkles, not tem.
Hoopla: Touché.
Temmie: wear r wee?
(they look around)
Hoopla: (deadpan) We're in the game.
Temmie: (sighs) pi made a game about da show alweady? we're not even twee episodes in!
Hoopla: No, Temmie, we're in the Game Boy.
Temmie: o
Hoopla: Huh. Now I know how Robin Williams fel-
(Temmie's eyes suddenly light up)
Temmie: OH MY GOSH WUT IS DAT!
(The camera pans over to a Goomba)
Hoopla: ...a Goomba?
Temmie: GOOBA SO ADORABALL! AAAAAA-
Hoopla: Well, to each their-
(Temmie starts running towards the Goomba)
Temmie: TEM WANT HUG GOOBA!
Hoopla: TEMMIE! DON-
(Temmie touches the Goomba and dies. Hoopla starts crying.)
Hoopla: Oh no! What have I done?! He was my best friend, and now he's… dead!
(Hoopla starts wallowing. The camera pans over to Temmie standing next to him.)
Temmie: hoi.
Hoopla: GAH! How did you-
Temmie: dat gooba was not vewy fwendly.
Hoopla: Oh, I see. We must have a lives system or something like the characters in the game.
Temmie: yeah, tem figure that out like 28 lines ago.
Hoopla: You're smarter than you let on, big guy.
Temmie: wait a sexond. if we have wives, den wut happens if we woose dem all?
(A cloud appears over Hoopla's head as he imagines them permanently dying. A cloud appears over Temmie's head as she imagines a taco dance party.)
Hoopla: I don't know. But I sure don't want to find out. I say we find Aidan's friend and whatever has possessed this thing and get the hell outta here. Dave must be worried sick!
(Cut to Dave and Aidan playing cards)
Dave: You got any sevens?
(Cut back)
Temmie: okway, but dus dat meen we hav to go back throo dere?
(Temmie points to the upcoming first level, filled with enemies)
Hoopla: Huh, I guess that's right. We have to go that way. Through all the dangerous and scary enemies.
Temmie: yep.
(pause)
Hoopla: Pfft! You're not scared, are you Tem?
Temmie: uh, no! tem not scared!
Hoopla: Right then, just checking. Because I'm not scared or anything.
Temmie: yeah.
(pause)
Hoopla: Right, here we go then.
(Hoopla begins to take a step forward before stopping)
Hoopla: Maybe you should go first.
Temmie: NO!!!!
Hoopla: (sigh) Fine. We'll both go together.
Temmie: on da count of tree
Hoopla: Right, on the count of three. One… two…
(cut to them screaming as they make their way through the level)
Hoopla: WHO KNEW MARE-IO WAS LIKE THIS IN REAL LIFE?!!!
Temmie: TEM DON NO!!!!!
Hoopla: I WANT MY MOMMY WHOEVER SHE IS!!!!
(they reach the flagpole and give out a collective sigh of relief)
Hoopla: Phew. Well, I'm glad that's over.
(they look ahead at the next level)
Hoopla: DAGNABBIT! If we could just find a weakness or something, we could beat these guys harder than what happened at Stalingrad!
Temmie: who stalingrad? sound like a nice guy.
Hoopla: It doesn't matter, Temmie. I just have a nagging fear that we might never see the outside again. Who's gonna watch over Mr. Sprinkles?
(cut to Mr. Sprinkles watching TV)
Washley Brald (on TV): -and the one million dollar question is-
Mr. Sprinkles: woof
(cut back)
Hoopla: He’s harmed not only me, but he’s gonna harm the house next.
Temmie: but we gotta save da wittle guy fiwst.
Hoopla: (sighs) Yeah, you’re right. Let’s get through this level, and then we can hopefully save the guy’s friend.
(Hoopla panics as he realizes they are in an underground level)
Hoopla: Wait… this is an underground level!
Temmie: yoo didn’t notice?
Hoopla: I was too busy having an existential crisis to notice…
Temmie: temmie wove taco party.
Hoopla: Okay, right foot first…
(The two rush through the level like last time)
Hoopla: I’M PANICKING BUT THIS TIME I’M UNDERGROUND!
Temmie: TEM HATES DIS WEVEL!
(Temmie falls down a hole)
Hoopla: Not again…
(Temmie pops up right behind him again)
Hoopla: Ahh! Don’t scare me like that!
Temmie: dats da games fawlt.
Hoopla: Temmie! You only have one life left! We have to be careful!
Temmie: i will be vewy caweful now.
(Temmie jumps over the giant hole, and narrowly misses a Goomba)
Temmie: temmie was cwose to ded!
Hoopla: Let’s just move on…
(Hoopla grabs the flagpole and they move on to the next level)
Hoopla: Okay, each level is probably harder than the last. We can't take any more chances.
(He takes out a copy of Super Hoopla Odyssey)
Hoopla: Why couldn't I be trapped in this game instead?
Temmie: ha meta humour
(Hoopla looks ahead at a Toad house)
Hoopla: Aha! A Toad house! They give you loot, right?
Temmie: tem don no
Hoopla: Come on!
(They approach the house)
Temmie: um… isn't dis stwanger danger?
Hoopla: Everyone knows Toad, Temmie.
(Hoopla reaches for the door handle but stops)
Hoopla: Yeah, you're right. This could be a trap.
(He turns on his ghost sucker)
Hoopla: Okay, we can go in now.
Temmie: dis is da wong mawio game.
(Hoopla slowly turns the handle and they run on)
Hoopla: AH-
Toad: bup. WAHA! I'M DA BEST WAHHAHAHAhhshaahdhhdnrjakfks
(Hoopla suddenly turns the sucker off)
Hoopla: See? Nothing to be scared of.
Toad: I'M TOAD! WELCOME TO THE TOAD HOUSE!
Temmie: o, so it's like da tem shop-
(Toad slaps her)
Toad: NO!
Temmie: o
Hoopla: Um, Mr. Toad sir? We kinda need help finding someone and getting out of here. Do you-
Toad: OPEN ONE OF THE THREE CHESTS AND YOU'LL GET AN ITEM THAT WILL HELP YOU ON YOUR ADVENTURE!!!
Hoopla: Oh, uh… sure. Which one should we pick, Tem?
Temmie: uuuhhhhhhhhhh……
Hoopla: Well, if I've learned anything from politics, it's that no one likes the far left or right. So I guess we'll just go with the middle one.
(He opens the middle chest and gets a coconut gun)
Hoopla: Isn't this from Donkey Kong?
(Toad starts sweating)
Toad: Uh… yes. It's, uh, free DLC.
Hoopla: On a Gameboy?
Toad: Yes.
(pause)
Hoopla: Well, all right then.
Toad: THANKS FOR VISITING THE TOAD HOUSE! WAHA! WAHA! WAHA! bup.
Hoopla: Uh, thanks Toad.
Toad: NO PROBLEM!
(Hoopla and Temmie leave. Toad's voice suddenly sounds normal.)
Toad: Those fools are so naive. (his eyes turn purple as he lets out a evil laugh)
(cut to Hoopla and Temmie outside)
Temmie: hoop, can tem have da cockonut gun?
Hoopla: (laughs) Of course not! If this thing shoots ya, it's gonna hurt.
Temmie: aww.
Hoopla: Anyway, we should get going to the next level. Hopefully this one isn’t another cave…
(They look ahead and see a sky level with only mushroom platforms)
Hoopla: Fuck me in the-
Temmie: Mushwooms!
Hoopla: Temmie, wait-!
(Temmie is already bouncing from one mushroom platform to the other)
Hoopla: Forget it.
(Hoopla follows Temmie along the mushrooms.)
Hoopla: What the hell are you doing?
Temmie: da wevel!
Hoopla: You could get yourself killed! I could get myself killed!
Temmie: just fowwow da patten, hoopla!
Hoopla: What pattern? These guys are supposed to have a weakness or something!
Temmie: it's a video game! not everyding's wike dat!
(They eventually reach a spot where they have to jump on Paratroopas)
Hoopla: Lord Mayomoto, I have one question for you. WHY?
Mayomoto: (speaks in Japanese) これは秘密のメッセージだと思った!
Subtitles: because fuck you that's why
(Hoopla shoots Mayomoto with the coconut gun. Hoopla turns to the audience.)
Hoopla: Sorry, people. Now how are we gonna get across those flying turtles?
Temmie: hmmmmmmmmm… oh tem no!
(She gets on the back of one of the Paratroopas. Because of her size, she's able to get on them without killing them)
Temmie: come on, its fun!
Hoopla: I weigh at least 100 pounds! You think I’m gonna be safe?
Temmie: it dont mattew! just go!
Hoopla: Fine, but don’t come to my funeral if I die here.
(Hoopla jumps on one of the Paratroopas, and kills it, then jumps on another, and this repeats until he reaches the flagpole)
Hoopla: I did it!
Temmie: you muwdewed kupas!
Hoopla: Yeah, yeah, but who cares about them, right? They're the bad guys!
Paratroopa: Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
Hoopla: Come on, I see Bowser’s castle from here!
Temmie: wets go!
(Hoopla and Temmie approach the drawbridge to Bowser’s castle. It drops, and they go inside)
Hoopla: It always looks so much bigger on the inside.
Temmie: tem like dis pwace
Bowser (off-screen): (random Bowser noises)
(Temmie hugs Hoopla in fear)
Temmie: tem scared!
Hoopla: Don't worry… He looks so much scarier in person. Cmon, let's go.
(The two jump over a pool of lava)
Hoopla: (deep breath) Okay. Forget about finding a weakness or some shit. We just need to clear our heads and make it to the end.
(Hoopla and Temmie progress through the level until they see a checkpoint)
Hoopla: Who needs checkpoints amirite?
(Temmie doesn't look amused)
Hoopla: Oh who am I kidding we need it.
(They hit the checkpoint and they grow)
Temmie: tem is stwong now
Hoopla: (turns to the audience) Don't do drugs, kids. Or, uh, manchildren at least.
(The duo run throughout the rest of the level, miraculously dodging the several lava spouts)
Temmie: its getting hawt in hewe
Hoopla: Indeed.
(they see an exit to a room)
Hoopla: Okay, I think the final boss should be in there.
(Temmie looks startled. Hoopla kneels down to her.)
Hoopla: Come on, big guy. We can do this. You and me.
(Temmie shakes in fear for a few seconds before calming down)
Temmie: okway.
(They enter the large room which looks like a stereotypical boss battle arena. The doors shut behind them.)
Hoopla: (smug) Watch this. Bowser should be jumping from the sky in 3… 2-
(Bowser jumps down from the sky growling, Temmie trembles in fear)
Hoopla: See?
(he notices Temmie)
Hoopla: Don't worry it's almost over. Now we just have to find the big lever that takes out the bridge and kills Bowser.
Temmie: yoo couwldve told me eawier
Hoopla: I thought you knew that already.
Temmie: but yoo said to find a weekness
Hoopla: Temmie, if there's anything you've taught me today it's that you can't always do something the same way. You need to mix things up and see what works. Like, you were so confident on those mushrooms, right?
Temmie: well… yeah?
Hoopla: Exactly! I know we can do this… even if you only have one life left and are probably going to die.
Temmie: dat's not exactly reas-
Hoopla: Okay less talk, and more getting through this game.
(Bowser growls again)
Temmie: I don't wanna fight bowsa
(Hoopla grabs Temmie and runs through the level, eventually reaching Bowser.)
Hoopla: Okay. It's finally time.
(He tries to reach the lever next to Bowser, but nothing happens.)
Hoopla: What the hell?
(he keeps repeatedly pulling the lever but nothing happens still)
Hoopla: Okay this is getting ridiculous. This is Mare-io! The bridge is supposed to drop and-
Bowser: (laughs) Is that so?
Hoopla: What the-
Temmie: bowsa can tawk?
Bowser: I think you two have been… (his eyes glow purple) forgetting something.
Hoopla: Oh yeah, the game's possessed. We figured that out ages ago.
Bowser: And so did I. I knew you'd come in here after that poor unfortunate soul, and now your souls will burn here. (laughs)
Hoopla: Why you-
(he tries firing the coconut gun but it is rendered useless)
Hoopla: You gave us this stupid tool, didn't you?
Bowser: The rookie picks it up fast, I see.
Hoopla: Who are you and why are you-
Bowser: Okay, I think this is enough taking. Happy death day!
(Bowser jumps up and prepares to stomp them both)
Hoopla: Tem!
(Hoopla grabs Temmie and they narrowly miss him. Bowser shoots several fireballs at them which they also dodge.)
Hoopla: Death day was yesterday, you dumbass. Now face the wrath of… I really didn't think this through.
(SpongeBot emerges from the end of the bridge)
SpongeBot: Ugh, can't a damsel in distress get any- (she notices Hoopla and Temmie) hey, don't I know you two?
Hoopla: Someone's been reading the newspaper. SpongeBot, we're getting you out of here!
SpongeBot: Finally.
Hoopla: What do you mean finally? It's only been-
SpongeBot: Three days, guys. THREE DAYS!
Hoopla: Man, video game time flies by fast.
(cutaway to Dave and Aidan asleep on the couch)
Bowser: You better get used to it. You guys will be here for eternity while I get to watch you suffer.
Temmie: (sobs) tem miss mista spwinkles.
Hoopla: I don't.
Bowser: Now, where were we? Oh yeah, manslaughter.
(Bowser goes into his shell and starts rolling around. Hoopla and Temmie frantically run from it.)
Hoopla: Temmie!
(The two jump back onto the bridge. Bowser comes out of his shell)
Bowser: You've all ran to the bridge, ay? Nice move, except for all the lava underneath.
(Bowser jumps into the bridge in his shell and chases the three of them to the other side.)
Bowser: (laughs) See how you like this!
(he pulls the lever to take the bridge out)
SpongeBot: Oh shit. Well, thanks for trying guys.
Hoopla: We're not done yet.
(Several Bullet Bills emerge from hatches surrounding the three open up.)
Hoopla: Or maybe we are.
Bullet Bill: my main goal is to blow up
Temmie: uh, hoop?
Hoopla: Yes, Tem?
Temmie: is now da tim 2 panic?
Hoopla: Maybe.
(The three run around in fear. The Bullet Bills collide with each other and explode.)
Bowser: Damn, I liked those guys. But not as much as these guys!
(more Bullet Bills emerge)
Bullet Bill: my main goal is to blow up
Hoopla: How many Bills does this guy have?
Temmie: tem has an idea!
Hoopla: wait wut
(Temmie gets a bullet bill to follow him, and it blows up right in Bowser’s face)
Bowser: I thought I programmed you NOT to do that!
Hoopla: Temmie, see? You can do things! Do it again!
(Temmie gets a bullet bill to hit Bowser again, and he visibly shows fright)
Bowser: Great… time for the last solution!
Hoopla: That's a horrible name.
Bowser: No it isn't. I came up with it on the spot. Now, sick ‘em, son!
(Bowser Jr. shows out of nowhere and spins his shell right into the duo. They both dodge his attack, and Bowser Jr. immediately falls into the lava. The four just stare in shock and confusion.)
SpongeBot: r/thathappened
Hoopla: You use Reddit?
Temmie: ew
Bowser: I'm disappointed in my son. He doesn't take after his father.
(While Bowser keeps rambling about his son, another bullet bill hits him, and he gets close to falling into the lava)
Bowser: haha you guys fuckin sukc
(Suddenly Mare-io appears doing backwards long jumps)
Mare-io: yahoo
Bowser: Ah shit. Well, I better go out while it's good.
(Bowser goes back into his shell and tries to flee. Mare-io chases after him, grabs his tail and starts spinning him around)
Mare-io: so long gay bowser!
(Mare-io throws Bowser into the air screaming and F-airs him into the lava. GAME! appears on the screen)
SpongeBot: Wait is this Smash Bros now?
Hoopla: Don't question it.
(a spirit flies up from the lava)
Spirit: You fools think you could defeat me? That wasn't even my final form!
SpongeBot: Hey, it's the guy who sucked me in here!
Hoopla: (grinning) Hey, Tem? You know how I was saying we should find a weakness?
(Hoopla turns on the ghost sucker and aims it at the spirit)
Spirit: Welp.
(Hoopla successfully captures the spirit and turns the machine off.)
Hoopla: Hell yeah!
(the three high-five each other)
Mare-io: get ready to move your penis
(The castle suddenly begins spinning)
SpongeBot: Wait, what's happening now?
Temmie: tem don wanna die!
(The screen fades to white. Cut to the three materialising back in Aidan's lounge.)
Mare-io (in game): thank you a-so much for-to playing my game
Hoopla: Aw, yes! We're back! Thank Neptune!
(Aidan and Dave wake up)
Aidan: Huh? What happened?
SpongeBot: Aids!
Aidan: Call!
(The two run towards each other and embrace. Hoopla and Temmie smile.)
SpongeBot: I- uh… no homo.
(the two let go)
Dave: Hoopla! Temmie! You're back!
Hoopla: Indeed we are. You didn't doubt us, did you?
Dave: Uh… no. No, of course not! (whispering to Aidan) We'll have to try and get a refund on that funeral.
(they all laugh)
Aidan: So, uh… are we just gonna act like nothing happened?
Hoopla: Well I don't think it would be the sort of thing to bring up in passing. But that was one hell of a ride.
SpongeBot: Indeed.
Dave: We were worried sick!
Aidan: Yeah. I've missed you, SpongeBot.
SpongeBot: Same. I'm pissed I missed that new episode of "Say That Answer!".
Aidan: Oh, that was a good one.
Dave: That's your major concern?
SpongeBot: We don't have a life, okay?!
Hoopla: (sighs) Have we really been in there for three days?
Dave: Yep.
(Temmie's stomach growls)
Temmie: tem hungry
Hoopla: I think we all are.
Dave: Anyone wanna go to The Krusty Krab?
Temmie: tem down 4 dat
SpongeBot: Same, right after I check in with my beardy dad.
Aidan: I get sick of eating at DFF all the time. I think there's just one thing left that we need to do.
Hoopla: What's that?
(Aidan takes out a hammer and smashes the Game Boy.)
Dave: Oh.
Hoopla: Good riddance.
Aidan: There. I feel better now.
(pause)
Aidan: So… are we gonna get a Krabby Patty or what?
Temmie: okway.
SpongeBot: Sure.
Dave: Let's-a-go!
(They all exit the house laughing. The camera pans to the right revealing Mare-io standing next to the Game Boy. He turns to the audience.)
Mare-io: all toasters toast toast
(Mare-io runs off as the episode fades to black. The screen glitches out into a hellish dimension much like the last episode.)
???: (annoyed) So I see they have failed me yet again. I guess we are just gonna have to change tactics. Yes, let's try something much more… grand.
(they laugh as the episode ends)
