(Scene cuts to the bowling alley) Sadie bowls a strike.
Shubie: "Nice strike, Sadie!" Sadie and Nancy high five. Harold grabs his bowling ball and throws it onto the lane. The ball rolls into the gutter and doesn't hit a single pin.
Announcer: "And that'll do it for this one! The Lucky Ladies win and keep their undefeated season alive!" Shubie, Nancy, Martha and Sadie high five each other. Harold throws his bowling towel on the ground.
Harold: "How did we lose again?! These girls aren't even that good! I can't believe I stopped working on my latest experiment just to lose to the Lucky Ladies! We should've won this game. This team sucks!" Harold picks up his bowling towel and storms out of the bowling alley.
Martha: "Sounds like somebody's a sore loser." The women laugh.
Shubie: "Yeah, I can't believe he got that upset. Even Susie doesn't throw tantrums like that." The women laugh.
Nancy: "Hey, look! Harold got so angry that he forgot his ball." Shubie walks over and picks up Harold's bowling ball.
Shubie: "Looks like it's an expensive one too. I can drop it off at his house on my way home."
(Scene cuts to Shubie driving her boat) Shubie parks her boat in Harold's driveway and notices that Harold's garage door is open.
Shubie: "Harold must be working on an experiment." Shubie grabs Harold's ball and gets out of her boat.
(Scene cuts to Harold eating a banana while working on an experiment) 
Harold: "I'm finally done with my body switching machine! I still can't believe we lost that game though. My team sucks. I'm the only good player. Now I just need to finishing dusting it off." Harold finishes eating his banana and throws the peel on the ground. Harold starts dusting off one of the chambers in his machine. Shubie walks into the garage.
Shubie: "Harold! Are you in here? You left your ball at the bowling alley. I just came by to drop it off." Shubie accidentally steps on the banana peel and slips. Shubie lets go of the ball and it flies into the air. Shubie slides across the floor and crashes into one of the chambers of Harold's body switching machine. The bowl ball crashes through the control panel of the body switching machine. Harold hears his machine activating.
Harold: "Uh oh, this can't be good." The machine charges up and swaps Shubie and Harold's brains into each other's bodies. Shubie walks out of one the chambers.
Shubie: "What was that? And why is my hand blue? Did I bruise myself that badly when I slipped on a banana peel and crashed into one of Harold's experiments? It doesn't really feel like it hurts though. Hey wait a minute, why am I wearing red shorts? I could've sworn I wore my turquoise skirt today." Shubie looks at her reflection on the chamber and sees that she is in Harold's body. Shubie shrieks.
Shubie: "Ah! I'm Harold!" Harold walks out of the other chamber.
Harold: "And I'm you. My experiment was a success!"
Shubie: "What happened, Harold? What the barnacles does this machine do?!"
Harold: "It's a body switching machine. This is awesome! I've always wanted to swap brains with a girl." Harold starts looking around Shubie's body.
Shubie: "Don't even thing about it, Harold! This is not awesome! I don't want to be stuck in a 35 year old man's body! Is there any way to switch us back?"
Harold: "Yeah, normally we would just have to turn on the machine and go back into the chambers and it would switch us back. The only problem is, we can't do that now because the control panel is destroyed."
Shubie: "This can't be happening! I was just trying to give you your bowling ball back and now I'm stuck inside your body!"
Harold: "Relax, Shubie. I should be able to fix the control panel in about a day. It'll be done by tomorrow night."
Shubie: "Tomorrow night?! I don't have time for that! I have to make dinner for Nat and the kids! They're probably wondering where I am right now. I need to go home, but I can't go home looking like this. Harold, you need to go make dinner for Nat and my kids."
Harold: "What?! Why? Can't they wait?"
Shubie: "They can, but not for an entire day. Harold, you're going to have to pretend to be me for a while. My boss will fire me if I don't show up to work tomorrow because I'm fixing some science experiment."
Harold: "What if you call in sick? They can't fire you then, right? Wait a minute, I just used my last sick day at the pet store. If I don't show up to work tomorrow I'll get fired! Shubie, you have to work at the pet store for me!" Shubie sighs.
Shubie: "Ok but if we're both working full time jobs, you won't be able to fix the machine. That's it! This weekend we won’t have to work and you can fix the machine then. We'll just have to get through one week in each other’s bodies."
Harold: "Ok. I guess that makes sense."
Shubie: "Now go make some dinner for Nat and my kids."
Harold: "What? But I don't really know how to cook!"
Shubie: "Well you'd better figure something out! Susie and Billy are probably starving!" Shubie shoves Harold out of the garage.
(Scene cuts to Harold walking into Nat's house) Susie runs over to Harold.
Susie: "Hi Mom!"
Harold: "Huh? Oh, hi Susie!" Nat works over to Harold.
Nat: "Hey Shubie, what are you planning on making for dinner tonight? I hope it's something quick! I'm so hungry I could eat a sea-bear!"
Harold: "Don't worry, Nat! The food's all ready! I got some takeout from the Krusty Krab on my way home!" Harold pulls out a bag of Krusty Krab takeout. Susie and Nat cheer.
(Scene cuts to Harold changing Baby Billy's diaper)
Harold: "Ew! Gross! Shubie and Nat have to do this every day? Maybe it's a good thing I'm not married." Harold finishes changing Billy's diaper and puts Billy in his crib. Harold turns off the light and walks over to Nat and Shubie's room.
Nat: "Are Susie and Billy in bed?"
Harold: "Yep! I just put Billy in his crib."
Nat: "That's great, Shubie. How'd your bowling game go today?"
Harold: "It was pretty bad. I lost."
Nat: "The Lucky Ladies lost?! Isn't that your first loss of the season?"
Harold: "Oh, I meant to say we won! We beat the Sharks today."
Nat: "Oh ok that makes sense. I would've been stunned if you had lost to the Sharks! Don't tell Harold I said this, but he's really bad at bowling." Nat laughs. Harold frowns.
Harold: "Your secret's safe with me." Harold gets into bed. Nat rolls over to face Harold.
Nat: "Hey, in honor of your big win today, I was thinking we could…" Nat moves towards Harold.
Harold: "Oh, that! You know, Nat, I'm just not really in the mood tonight. Sorry."
Nat: "Why not? You seemed really excited when we talked about doing this last night. Did I do something that upset you?"
Harold: "No! I just, um, have a bit of a migraine today! I think it would be best if I tried to sleep it off." Nat moves away from Harold and lays down in bed. Harold turns off the light.
(Scene cuts to Harold leaving Nat's house to go to Shubie's job) Nat gets into his boat.
Nat: "Bye Shubie!"
Harold: "Bye Nat!" Nat drives away. Susie walks over to Harold and tugs on his skirt.
Susie: "Mom! Mom!"
Harold: "Huh? Oh, what is it Susie?"
Susie: "Aren't you going to make my lunch and drive me to school?"
Harold: "Oh yeah, that's right." Harold grabs Susie's lunchbox and walks back into Nat's house.
(Scene cuts to Harold dropping Susie off at Bikini Bottom Elementary)
Susie: "Bye Mom!"
Harold: "Bye Susie!" Susie runs into school. Nancy notices Harold and waves at him.
Nancy: "Hi Shubie!" Nancy walks over to Shubie's boat.
Harold: "Hey Nancy."
Nancy: "How was Harold last night when you gave him his bowling ball? Was he still freaking out about losing? I've never seen anyone that upset about a bowling game before!" Nancy laughs.
Harold: "No, he was pretty calm when I dropped off his ball yesterday. I think he just let his emotions get the best of him."
Nancy: "Well that's a relief. For someone who takes bowling that seriously, he really stinks! I don't know why he got so mad either. He should be used to losing by now. His team is one of the worst in the league this season!" Nancy continues laughing. Harold awkwardly laughs back.
Harold: "Well it was nice seeing you Nancy, but I really need to get to work."
Nancy: "Bye Shubie! I'll see you later! Oh wait that's right, I'll see you again tonight! Are you ready for the game?"
Harold: "Game? What game? We have another bowling game tonight?"
Nancy: "No, we don't have our next game until later this week. Isabel and Susie have a baseball game against Dullsville tonight."
Harold: "Oh yeah, that's right! I've been so busy with work lately that I forgot I have to coach a baseball game tonight! See you there!" Harold drives away and Nancy waves goodbye.
(Scene cuts to Shubie at the pet store)
Shubie: "So this is what Harold does all day. This sure seems easier than working at the mall. It's much less crowded. In fact, there's practically no one here!" Nazz-Mimi walks over to the front desk where Shubie is sitting.
Shubie: "Hi Nazz! How are you doing today?"
Nazz: "Oh, hi Harold. I always forget that you work here. Although that might be because you're usually asleep when I pick up my worm food orders. Do you have this chew toy in blue? My worm hates the color orange for some reason."
Shubie: "Yeah, I think I saw some blue chew toys on aisle 3." Nazz walks away. Fred walks into the store and over to the front desk.
Fred: "Hey Harold."
Shubie: "Hi Fred! What can I do for you today?"
Fred: "I'm here to pickup some snail food. The package should be under Sadie's name." Harold looks underneath the desk.
Shubie: "Let me check, here it is!" Harold lifts up a package and hands it to Fred.
Fred: "Thanks, Harold."
Shubie: "You're welcome! So what do you have planned for today?"
Fred: "I have to go to the doctor's later to get some x-rays on my leg. Then after that Monroe and Tommy have a baseball game against Dullsville so I'll be watching that tonight."
Shubie: "There's a game against Dullsville tonight?! Oh that's right! Uh… Nat and Shubie told me about it. Well I hope that Harold, I mean, Shubie knows what she's doing tonight!"
(Scene cuts to Harold standing in the dugout at Susie's baseball game)
Harold: "Don't worry, Harold. You can do this. It shouldn't be too hard. You did play baseball in high school after all."
Umpire: "Play ball!" Harold turns and faces the team.
Harold: "Ok team! Let's go out there and kick some Dullsville butt!"
Susie: "But Mom, you haven't told us the batting order yet."
Harold: "Oh, right. Well let's see… Um… Uh… Susie, you can bat… No, that's not right. Why don't we have… Um…" Shubie walks over to the dugout.
Shubie: "Hey Shubie! Here's your batting lineup! You dropped it in the parking lot." 
Harold: "What? Oh, um, thanks Shubie, I mean, Harold!" Shubie reaches over the fence and hands Harold a piece of paper with a batting order on it. 
Shubie: "You're welcome!" Shubie walks over to the stands and sits next to Nat.
Shubie: "Hi Nat!"
Nat: "Harold? What are you doing here?"
Shubie: "I came here to watch the baseball game. I love coming to the park and watching little kids play baseball, in a not creepy way of course!" Shubie laughs awkwardly.
Nat: "Oh ok." Billy pitches the ball and a Dullsville player hits it to Susie. Susie tosses the ball to first base.
Umpire: "Out!"
Shubie: "Way to go, Susie! That's my girl!" Nat and the other parents look at Shubie strangely.
Shubie: "I mean, that's Mr. and Mrs. Peterson's girl! Nice job, Susie!" Another Dullsville player gets up to bat.
Shubie: "Harold! I mean, Shubie! Move the outfield over to their left!"
Harold: "Uh, ok. Outfield! Move over to your left!" The outfield moves to the left. The Dullsville player hits the ball straight to Taylor. Taylor catches it.
Umpire: "Out!"
Nat: "Wow Harold, how did you know he'd hit it there?"
Shubie: "Oh, it was pretty obvious. He's a lefty and I could tell from his warmup swings that he's a pull hitter. It was highly unlikely that he'd hit it to the left side of the field."
Nat: "You could tell all that just from his warmup swing?! I'm impressed Harold! You know way more about baseball than I thought."
Shubie: "Thanks, Nat. I, um, had Shubie teach me some things."
Nat: "That makes sense. There's no better teacher than her." Shubie blushes. A Dullsville player strikes out.
Umpire: "Strike Three! You're out!"
Shubie: "Good job, Billy! Those Dullsville kids don't stand a chance against you! Go Barracudas!"
Nat: "Gee Harold, you're really into this game."
Shubie: "Yeah, I guess I am. It's hard not to feel invested when they're playing this well!"
(Scene cuts to a montage of Shubie telling Harold what to do from the stands and Bikini Bottom scoring a lot of runs)
Annoucer: "And that's the ball game! Bikini Bottom beats Dullsville 11-0!"
Shubie: "Go Bikini Bottom! You guys played amazing today! Keep this up and we'll win the championship for sure!"
Nat: "You were the team's biggest fan today, Harold! I think you coached the team more than Shubie did!"
Shubie: "Yeah well, I was just doing my best to help out. I'm sure Shubie knew what she was doing though." Susie runs over to Nat.
Susie: "Dad! Did you see my double today?"
Nat: "Yeah that was a great hit Susie! Well, we'll see you later Harold! Hey, why didn't you come to the cookie store today? You normally come almost every day."
Shubie: "Oh, I'm sorry Nat. I just didn't have the time today. I'll make sure to go tomorrow. See you then!"
(Scene cuts to Shubie taking out Harold's trash)
Shubie: "Boy, Harold sure has a lot of trash! Thank Neptune this is the last bag." Shubie throws the trash bag into Harold's trash can. Evelyn walks towards her.
Shubie: "Hi Evelyn! Billy played a great game today! He had 2 RBI's!" Evelyn rolls her eyes.
Evelyn: "Yeah thanks, Harold. Maybe I would've been able to enjoy the game if you hadn't been yelling every five seconds." Evelyn continues walking.
Shubie: "Oh okay. Bye Evelyn! I love what you did with your eyelashes!" Evelyn stops walking and turns around.
Evelyn: "What did you say?"
Shubie: "I just said I love what you did with your eye lashes." Evelyn runs over to Shubie and wraps her arm around her fin.
Evelyn: "Tell me more."
(Scene cuts to Harold working at the cash register in the clothing store)
Harold: "This is so boring. How has Shubie enjoyed working here for like 10 years?" Martha walks up to the cash register.
Martha: "Hi Shubie!" Martha hands Harold a box of shoes.
Harold: "Hi Martha." Harold scans the shoe box and puts it in a bag.
Martha: "Sorry I missed the game yesterday. I had an appointment with my nutritionist. I'm going on a new diet. I heard we won though so that's great!"
Harold: "Yeah we crushed Dullsville. It was like 10-0 or something like that. Honestly I lost track of the score after a while." Martha laughs.
Martha: "Yeah and hopefully we'll be able to crush the Nurses tonight too!"
Harold: "Huh? There's another baseball game today?"
Martha: "No, silly! We have a bowling game tonight."
Harold: "Oh yeah, I almost forgot that I have a game against the Surfers."
Martha: "Um, Shubie, we're playing the Nurses tonight."
Harold: "Oh yeah, that's right. I'll be playing for the Lucky Ladies, not the Sharks! I'll finally be able play on a good team for once instead of my garbage Sharks team! Now I can finally know what it feels like to win!" Martha looks at Harold confusingly.
Martha: "Are you feeling okay Shubie?"
Harold: "I mean… We're going to destroy the Nurses tonight!"
Martha: "That's the spirit! See you tonight!" Martha hands Harold some money, grabs the bag with her new shoes in it and walks out of the store.
(Scene cuts to Shubie walking through the mall)
Shubie: "It feels so weird coming to the mall as a customer and not as an employee." Shubie accidentally bumps into Martha and falls onto the ground.
Shubie: "Oh, I'm so sorry Martha."
Martha: "Why don't you watch where you're going next time? Nut job!" Martha steps over Shubie and walks away. Shubie gets up and dusts off her clothes.
Shubie: "Geez, I wonder what's gotten her so upset today." Shubie walks over to Sadie's Cookies and enters the store.
Nat: "Hey Harold!" Shubie walks up to the front desk.
Shubie: "Hi Nat! Don't you look handsome today!" Nat looks at Shubie strangely.
Nat: "What?"
Shubie: "I mean… I'll take one cookie please!"
Nat: "Ok, you're just in time! We're going to be closing the store soon because Sadie has a bowling game tonight. Hey, don't you have a bowling game tonight too, Harold?"
Shubie: "Oh yeah. The Sharks are playing the Surfers tonight. I really hope Harold doesn't screw anything up for the Lucky Ladies." 
Nat: "Here's your cookie, Harold!" Nat hands Shubie a cookie.
Shubie: "Thanks!" Shubie takes a bite out of the cookie. Sadie walks out of the kitchen and to the front desk. Sadie looks at her watch.
Sadie: "Nat, do you mind cleaning up the store today? I have to leave for my game soon. You know how Shubie gets when people don't show up early. Ugh, your wife can be such a pain sometimes."
Nat: "Don't worry, Sadie. I can definitely clean up by myself tonight. Good luck at your game!"
Sadie: "Thanks Nat!" Nat starts to clean the kitchen.
Sadie: "Oh, I could watch that man clean for hours. If only he was married to me and not Shubie." Sadie exits the store.
Shubie: "That was weird. I never get upset when people don't show up on time to our bowling games. I don't know what Sadie was talking about." Shubie takes another bite out of her cookie.
(Scene cuts to Harold entering the bowling alley) Harold walks over to Nancy, Martha and Sadie.
Nancy: "Hi Shubie! You ready to kick some nurse tail tonight?"
Harold: "You bet! This win is going to feel so good!"
Martha: "You're up first as always, Shubie. Start us off with one of your signature strikes!" Martha hands Harold a bowling ball.
Harold: "Geez, this ball is a lot heavier than the one I normally use. Is Shubie really stronger than I am?" Harold walks up to the lane and bowls. The ball rolls done the lane and knocks down two pins.
Nancy: "That's okay, Shubie! A spare would be great too!" Harold bowls again and knocks down one pin. Harold walks back over to the Lucky Ladies.
Martha: "What the heck happened, Shubie? It's okay though. Everyone has an off round! You're the best bowler in the league after all!" Nancy gets a strike. Martha gets a strike. Sadie gets a strike.
Nancy: "It's your turn again, Shubie! You got this!" Harold picks up Shubie's ball and walks over to the lane. Harold bowls the ball and it goes straight into the gutter. Nancy, Martha and Sadie's jaws drop.
Carol: "Shubie just doesn't have it tonight, ladies! This could finally be our chance to beat the Lucky Ladies!" Carol walks up to the lane and bowls a strike.
(Scene cuts to the end of the game)
Nancy: "I can't believe we almost lost to the Nurses!"
Martha: "Yeah, if you didn't get three strikes in a row on that last round Nancy they might've stolen it from us."
Sadie: "Well I know why the game was so close. It was because of Shubie. She didn't get a single strike tonight."
Nancy: "Yeah Shubie, you definitely weren't as good as you usually are. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen you play this poorly. You were playing like Harold out there!" The other women laugh.
Martha: "Yeah she was playing a lot like Harold! It's okay though. At least we got the win and stayed undefeated. I guess even MVPs have off nights." Nancy, Martha and Sadie walk away.
Sadie: "Oh I can't wait to tell Nat how awful Shubie was tonight! Maybe it'll finally convince him to leave her for me!" Harold sighs. 
Harold: "How does it feel bad even when I win?"
(Scene cuts to Shubie and the Sharks bowling at a different lane in the bowling alley) Shubie bowls a strike.
Female shark: "Wow Harold! I've never seen you bowl so many strikes before!"
Shubie: "Oh yeah, it was all from this new technique I learned."
Male shark: "Well make sure to use it more often! I don't think we've ever won by this many points before!"
Female shark: "You said it, hun! It was the best win we've ever had! Where did you learn that technique from?"
Shubie: "Oh, um… Shubie taught it to me."
Male shark: "Shubie taught you her technique?! Do you think she could teach us it too?"
Shubie: "Um… yeah, sure!"
Female shark: "Oh honey, we're about to be the greatest shark bowlers of all time! Those Lucky Ladies and Bikini Bottom Bombers won't know what hit them!"
Male shark: "Soon this league will be ours! Well, it's getting late. We'd better go pick up the kids from your parents' house. Bye Harold! Great game today!" The two sharks walk away.
Shubie: "Well, that was fun helping the Sharks win a game for once. I just hope Harold wasn't too terrible today. Wait is that our score at lane 5? Sadie 238, Martha 265, Nancy 274… Shubie 95?! Well there goes my MVP."
(Scene cuts to Shubie vacuuming up Harold's house)
Shubie: "Does Harold ever clean this house?! I never seen so many crumbs in my life! No wonder he's not married. Thank Neptune I only have to spend one more day living here." The doorbell rings.
Shubie: "What was that?" Shubie turns off the vacuum and walks over to the front door. Shubie opens the door and sees Evelyn in her mail uniform.
Evelyn: "Um, hey Harold." Evelyn waves awkwardly.
Shubie: "Hi Evelyn! Do you have a package for me?"
Evelyn: "Um, no. I'm actually on break. I was just stopping by because, well, I can't stop thinking about those compliments you gave me the other day. No one has ever said those things about me before. I never knew you were so observant. Anyway, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go out with me to Fancy! tonight? I'm sure I can get Shubie to watch Billy for me."
Shubie: "Oh, well that's really nice of you to say, but I, uh, think I'm going to be busy tonight. I'm sorry, Evelyn. Maybe we should try again some other time. Like say, next week after the body swapping machine is fixed!"
Evelyn: "Oh, it's okay. I get it. You're probably a busy guy. I just thought I finally met someone who understood me. I guess I was just an idiot for thinking that I would finally meet someone special." Evelyn walks away. Shubie frowns.
Shubie: "Evelyn, wait! I think I might not be busy tonight. I'd love to go to Fancy! with you." Evelyn smiles.
Evelyn: "Ok great! I'll see you later Harold." Evelyn walks away. Shubie closes the front door.
Shubie: "Oh dear Neptune. I'm going on a date with my own sister."
(Scene cuts to Shubie walking into Fancy!) Evelyn notices Shubie and waves at her. Shubie walks over to Evelyn.
Shubie: "Hi Evelyn. My, don't you look nice this evening."
Evelyn: "You like my dress? I was worried it didn't look good on me."
Shubie: "Oh that's nonsense! Red looks great on you! And I love your matching heels."
Evelyn: "You noticed my new heels? Wow, Harold. I never knew that you knew so much about fashion. I love your suit by the way."
Shubie: "Thanks I got it earlier today. I don't think Harold, I mean, I had any suits at home."
Evelyn: "So how was your day today?"
Shubie: "Oh, um, it was great! I, uh, worked on a bunch of experiments and stuff. How was yours?"
Evelyn: "Not fun. The post office had me work overtime today because they got a late shipment of mail."
Shubie: "Well that's just ridiculous. They should've let another mail carrier handle that. You already have the hardest job of all being a mother. You don’t need to be wasting your time working extra hours as a mail carrier!"
Evelyn: "You really think that being a mom is the hardest job?"
Shubie: "Oh, of course! Anyone who says otherwise has never been a mother. At least, uh, that's what Shubie tells me."
Evelyn: "Well Shubie's an airhead but she's definitely right about that. Wow Harold, I never knew this side of you. I feel like I'm finally with someone who understands me."
Shubie: "Thanks, but you think I'm an airhead? I mean, you think Shubie is?"
(Scene cuts to Shubie and Evelyn leaving Fancy!)
Evelyn: "Oh Harold, I had a wonderful time with you tonight. I haven't had this much fun with a guy in such a long time…"
Shubie: "That's great, Evelyn! I'm glad you had so much fun tonight! I'll make sure that we do it again sometime!"
Evelyn: "I'd love to! But who says the night has to end here? You know, Billy is sleeping over at the Smiths' house tonight so I have the house all to myself. I was thinking that maybe you could come over and we could, you know…"
Shubie: "Oh I'm sorry, Evelyn! I just realized that I have to go help one of my scientist friends with something after dinner. He, uh, needs me to help him lift something. Well thanks for dinner, Evelyn! I'd love to do it again sometime!" Shubie runs over to Harold's boat and drives away.
(Scene cuts to Shubie at Nat's house) Shubie knocks on the door.
Nat: "Hi Harold! What brings you here during family game night?"
Shubie: "Hi sweetie, I mean, bestie! Yep, hey bestie! Is Shubie here? I need to talk to her for a minute." Shubie walks past Nat and enters the house.
Nat: "Bestie?!" Shubie enters the living room.
Susie: "I rolled a five! That'll take me up the escalator! I'm catching up to you, Mom!"
Harold: "I wouldn't be so sure of that Susie! Oh hey Harold. What are you doing here?" Shubie grabs Harold.
Shubie: "Can I speak with you in the other room please?" Harold follows Shubie into the kitchen.
Harold: "What is it, Shubie? If it's about the mold in my toilet, I've been meaning to call someone about it."
Shubie: "What? Ew, gross! It's not about that. It's Friday, Harold. We finally got through the week. This means that you can fix your machine and switch us back."
Harold: "Oh, well the thing about that is… I don't want to switch back."
Shubie: "What?! Why not?"
Harold: "Because your life is so much better than mine! Just look at your life, Shubie! You have a family who loves you, great friends who you interact with often and a somewhat stable job. Everyone loves you! You can fail and screw up multiple times and everyone still supports you! They just say 'you'll get 'em next time, Shubie!' and 'we believe in you!'. No one ever says those things to me."
Shubie: "But Harold your life has gotten a lot better this past week. I set you up on a date with Evelyn, your bowling team thinks you're amazing now and your manager said that you might you might win employee of the month because you haven't been sleeping on the job lately! Isn't all of that great?"
Harold: "Yeah it is, but it's only happened because of you. I would never have been able to do any of that on my own and if I go back to my old life I'll probably screw everything up. I'm sorry, Shubie, but I'm not switching back."
Shubie: "Listen Harold, I'm sorry that your life isn't the way you want it to be, I really am, but you can’t keep holding out this lie. How long do you think you can hold this up?" Harold shrugs.
Harold: "I don't know, maybe forever."
Shubie: "Oh really? In that case, how are you going to teach Billy to become potty trained? How are you going to parent Susie during her teenage years? And what's going to happen when your best friend wants to kiss his wife?" Harold sighs.
Harold: "Well, that last thing actually kinda happened earlier. I guess you're right. I can't keep pretending to be you."
Shubie: "Listen Harold, my life might seem amazing and I wouldn't trade it for the world, but it's far from perfect. We all face difficulties in life, and if you're going through a rough time as Harold right now, just know that me and Nat will always be there to support you." Harold smiles.
Harold: "Thanks Shubie."
(Scene cuts to Harold fixing the body switching machine the next morning)
Harold: "Ok, I think it's ready! Let's give it a shot." Harold turns the machine on. Harold and Shubie walk into the machine. Shubie walks out of the machine and looks in a mirror.
Shubie: "Oh my gosh! I'm finally me again! It feels good to be back in my natural body!" Shubie runs of Harold's garage. Shubie sees Nat getting the mail from Evelyn.
Nat: "Thanks for the mail, Evelyn!" Shubie runs over to Nat and gives him a hug.
Shubie: "Oh Nat! I missed you so much!"
Nat: "Huh? But we just had breakfast together."
Shubie: "Oh, you wouldn't understand." Shubie lets go of Nat and runs over to Susie and Baby Billy who are blowing bubbles outside. Shubie gives them a hug.
Shubie: "I missed you two so much!"
Susie: "Dad, what's gotten into Mom?" Nat shrugs. Shubie sees Harold walk out of his garage and notice Evelyn putting some mail in his mailbox. Harold walks over to Evelyn.
Harold: "Hey Evelyn!" Evelyn looks up and sees Harold.
Evelyn: "Oh, hi Har…"
Harold: "You look hot in that mailman uniform!" Evelyn slaps Harold in the face.
Evelyn: "Don't ever talk to me again!" Evelyn walks away angrily. Harold sighs.
Shubie: "Hey Harold, why don't you come over here and hangout with us? We're gonna watch the baseball game later." Harold smiles and walks towards Shubie and Nat's house.
