== Script ==
(Episode begins with a fade-in of Manray sitting on the couch of Squilliam’s apartment; Squilliam is in the other room)
Manray: Nice place you got here, Squilliam. Thanks for inviting me in.
Squilliam: (Offscreen) No problem, I guess. We both just gotta lay low, y'know?
Manray: Indeed we do. (Glances around room) Uh, where are you, anyway?
Squilliam: (Offscreen) Oh, I’m just in the bathroom. My IBS requires me to sit on the damn toilet for an hour everyday, else I evacuate my bowels into my pants.
Manray: (Gags) Okay, TMI.
Squilliam: (Flushes toilet offscreen; walks into room) Hey, you asked.
Manray: (Sighs) So, just moved in here, I assume.
Squilliam: Yeah. I can’t show my face publicly in Bikini Bottom anymore.
Manray: And why is that? I don’t believe you’ve told me.
Squilliam: Well… I sorta tweeted something incredibly insensitive.
Manray: And you got kicked out of the city for that?
Squilliam: No, but I did get evicted.
Manray: What did you Tweet, anyway?
Squilliam: Are you sure you wanna know? I wrote it while I was super angry.
Manray: Sure, I don’t get easily offended.
Squilliam: Well, I said (Long censoring bleep; Manray looks shocked and is utterly speechless) Uh… So, um, anyway, what’s your story?
(Manray still looks shocked and doesn’t say a word)
Squilliam: Hello? Manray?
(Manray still doesn’t respond; Squilliam sighs angrily, walking towards the sink, filling a cup with water, and splashes it on Manray’s face; he awakens from his trance, screaming)
Manray: Oh God, I think I just saw Neptune…
Squilliam: So will you answer my question?
Manray: What? Oh, sure - what did you ask again?
Squilliam: I was asking; why are you here? What’s your story? 
Manray: Do you got about… 12 minutes to spare?
Squilliam: Suppose I do. (Sits on couch) I have about an hour before my IBS-
Manray: ANYWAY, here’s my story. So, you know how I am a villain, right?
Squilliam: I have heard it in passing before.
Manray: Well, I’ll make a long story short here; I was the worst villain in Bikini Bottom, but then I got tired of the daily grind of committing crimes, getting caught, escaping, then committing more crimes; I just needed an escape, man.
Squilliam: I getcha. Sometimes, I wanted to leave public life, even when I was the biggest name in the town. But, now that I’m gone, I miss it.
Manray: I don’t miss it much. (Kicks up recliner) I wanna live like a normal human. I hate being on the run so much.
Squilliam: But do Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy know you’re away?
Manray: Well, I don’t know for sure, but I am fairly certain they’re stalking me.
Squilliam: Stalking you?
Manray: Yes, stalking me. 
Squilliam: Why do you think that?
Manray: Well, I sometimes see them in the distance, then they vanish. 
Squilliam: Are you sure you aren’t just… crazy?
Manray: I’m a lot of things, dude. Crazy isn’t one of them. I am fairly certain they’re watching me, like fucking cockroaches.
Squilliam: I think you just are seeing things. Want an ice-cold glass of water?
Manray: I suppose so.
(They walk off-screen; camera moves to show Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy sitting on top of a car in the parking lot, watching Manray through their binoculars)
Barnacle Boy: There he is, Mermaid Man. Should we get him?
Mermaid Man: Get who?
Barnacle Boy: Manray! The man we’ve been watching these past few weeks!
Mermaid Man: Oh, Manray. There’s no need to raise your voice, I am pretty sure you are well aware of my dementia.
Barnacle Boy: Alright, I’m sorry for-
Mermaid Man: On top of that, I have really bad dementia!
Barnacle Boy: You already said that you-
Mermaid Man: On top of that, I have really bad dementia!
Barnacle Boy: (facepalms) Oh, brother.
Mermaid Man: Say, Barnacle Boy, do you think Bikini Bottom has been needing us? Since we, you know, started watching Manray for all these months. On top of that, I have really bad dementia!
Barnacle Boy: Nah, I’m sure they’re fine over there.
(Cut to the Bikini Bottom Bank being blown up, and many citizens running away screaming as The Dirty Bubble escapes the bank, laughing maniacally while carrying all its money; cut back to the two watching Manray)
Mermaid Man: If you say so. Say, do you think Bikini Bottom has been needing us? On top of that, I-
Barnacle Boy: Look, Mermaid Man, let's just go back to the Mermalair so we can get rest. We can continue our spying tomorrow.
(They both walk off; cut back to Squilliam's apartment, where Manray is sipping a glass of water)
Manray: Boy, that's refreshing. Thanks, Squillias.
Squilliam: It's Squilliam.
Manray: Whatever.
Squilliam: So, uh, what's your place like?
Manray: I mean, it's really messy.
Squilliam: (laughs) yeah, I get-
Manray: No, legitimately it's REALLY damn messy. I had a technician go in there once, and I found him dead. He suffocated.
Squilliam: (visibly stunned) I think I get what you mean.
Manray: The technician's office has my number blocked.
Squilliam: You could’ve just said I can’t go there, man. Now I’ll have nightmares.
Manray: Nightmares? Over my messy apartment?
Squilliam: I have nightmares easily…
Manray: I get that, but holy hell.
Squillaim: ANYWAY, it’s getting pretty late; I should probably get to the toilet.
Manray: And I better get out before I vomit my lunch all over the floor. Was nice conversing, Squilliam.
Squilliam: I agree, we must hang out more!
Manray: How about I see you again tomorrow?
Squilliam: Sounds good to me. 
Manray: See ya. (Walks out the door)
Squilliam: For a villain, he sure is a gentleman. (Stomach begins rumbling) OH GOD, IT’S HAPPENING! (rushes to the bathroom)
(Fade to the apartments at night; In one apartment, the light is on, and inside a fish is watching TV on the couch eating potato chips)
Fish: heh heh… (digs hand through bag of chips, realizes it’s empty) Oh, damnit. Now I gotta get more. (He gets up and approaches the kitchen; while he’s in there, he hears a knock on the door) Huh? Who could that be at this hour?
(The fish opens the door, and to his horror, it’s the Strangler; He tries screaming, but the strangler quickly tackles him, shutting the door behind him, and the silhouette of him and the fish can be seen through the window closed by curtains as the strangler violently strangles him to death; The strangler dashes out the door, and the episode fades to black)
