SpongeBob: Today is the day!
(SpongeBob runs excitedly to kitchen to see Patrick)

Patrick: (sigh) Why are you so overwhelmingly obsessed with today?
SpongeBob: Don't you know? Today, we're going to visit Texas!
Patrick: What for?
SpongeBob: Only for the most exciting journey of our lives!
Patrick: Alright... At least let me get ready.
SpongeBob: Okay, but hurry! We're on the clock, Sandy expects us to be there by 10:30 sharp!
(Camera views the kitchen again)
SpongeBob: Are you ready yet?
Patrick: I'm ready, I'm ready!
SpongeBob: Let's get the van, Patrick!
Patrick: What van?
SpongeBob: What do you mean what van?
Patrick: Last time I checked we don't have a van.
SpongeBob: The van parked outside?
(Scene switches to SpongeBob & Patrick outside the cabin)
SpongeBob: You didn't order a van?
Patrick: No, this is Alaska.
SpongeBob: So, what? 
Patrick: How would you expect us to drive a cold, long drive to the middle of nowhere?
SpongeBob: Do you even know how to drive?
Patrick: That's a question you should be asking yourself!
SpongeBob: Alright, I'll just book a train, let's go to the only transit station in Alaska!
(Camera views the station)
SpongeBob: Here we are!
Patrick: It's glorious..!
SpongeBob: That's not all, my dear friend. We're only seeing one percent of the whole building!
(Patrick and SpongeBob walk up to a reception desk)
SpongeBob: Two tickets for the next train, please!
Receptionist: Right away, sir.
(SpongeBob & Patrick both get their tickets)
(Camera pans over to the train tracks)
SpongeBob: Now, we simply just wait!

(Patrick sees a Rubic Cube lying around)
Patrick: What does this do?
(Patrick picks up the Rubic Cube in attempt to solve it)
(Patrick manages to solve it accidentally while walking back to SpongeBob)
Patrick: What does this thing do?
SpongeBob: Patrick, that's a Rubic Cube, allow me to demonstrate.
SpongeBob: It may seem simple at first, but it's not. All you need to do is to- wait, you solved it?
Patrick: I just found it on the ground.
*Train arrives on the tracks*
SpongeBob: Seems like our train is here, let's board!
(SpongeBob & Patrick boards the subway)
SpongeBob: Wow, so many aisles and seats.. Which one do you think is ours?
Patrick: The good one.
SpongeBob: Well, obviously!
(SpongeBob & Patrick find their seats and sits down)
Driver: (On the intercom) Everyone fasten their seatbelts as we're about to travel to Texas shortly. By shortly, I mean we're going to be here for a while. Feel free to grab some snacks from our assistants and enjoy the ride.
SpongeBob: A while? Sandy is expecting us soon!
Patrick: Well, looks like we'll just have to wait this one out.
SpongeBob: There is no time to wait! We have to get to Texas, in fast.
Patrick: What scheme are you going to hatch now?
SpongeBob: I think I might have an idea...
(SpongeBob pulls out a screwdriver)
SpongeBob: This might do the trick!
(SpongeBob unscrews a specific section of the train)
SpongeBob: Over here, my good pal, is the electrical system that powers the train.
SpongeBob: All we need to do is to rewire some things. Sounds simple enough, right?
Patrick: What did you say?
SpongeBob: Just follow my lead.
Driver (on the intercom); Attention everybody,
SpongeBob & Patrick: Huh?
Driver (on the intercom): We have just passed the city of Anchorage. Bear with us as this is going to be a long, long trip.
SpongeBob: We only passed Anchorage now? It's 10:00, and Sandy is expecting us in 30 minutes!
SpongeBob: Quickly Patrick, switch the green one with the red one!
Patrick: This is all so confusing! I'm just going to sit in my seat, and wait until we get there.
(Patrick Leaves)
SpongeBob: Alright, fine, I'll do it myself!
(SpongeBob reconfigures some wires) 
SpongeBob: This should do the trick!
(The train's light flickers)
SpongeBob: That's not too good...
(The train slows down to a stop)
Driver (on the intercom): Attention everybody, it seems like we've somehow managed to get a power outage..
Driver (on the intercom): Or just some unfortunate circumstances.. 
SpongeBob: Maybe that wasn't a good idea after all..
(SpongeBob goes back to the seat)
SpongeBob: Hey, Patrick, we need another plan..
Patrick: What now? Haven't you've done enough today?
Patrick: Maybe we should just wait this one out!
SpongeBob: You're picking a fight with the wrong guy here!
SpongeBob: I'll talk to you later..
(SpongeBob goes back to the wires)
SpongeBob: There has to be someway to fix this..
(SpongeBob reconfigures wires again)
(lights and train turns back on)
Driver (on the intercom): Good news, everything is fixed, we're going back on track!
(SpongeBob goes back to seat)
SpongeBob: Maybe you're right..
SpongeBob: I guess we should wait this one out.
(Camera zooms out of train, and timelapse of a train moving through a day-night cycle begins)

Patrick: But, how are we going to find Sandy?
SpongeBob: I'm sure we'll find her..
(Camera zooms out little by little as many cities, towns, buildings, and skyscrapers appear before zooming back)
Patrick: How so?
SpongeBob: You still have a map, right?
Patrick: Right here!
(Patrick gives SpongeBob "the map")
SpongeBob: Patrick.
Patrick: Uh-huh?
SpongeBob: This is just a dried up piece of paper.
Patrick: Exactly. How hard do you think it snows in Alaska?
SpongeBob: Yeah, sure. Blame it on the weather.
(SpongeBob & Patrick wander around for 4 blocks)
SpongeBob: Wait, this is where we came from!
Patrick: What's your plan here exactly?
SpongeBob: Wait just a second, I think I see something.
Patrick: Oh, what is it, Sandy's Place?
SpongeBob: No Patrick, it's a taxi!
(Taxi pulls up by SpongeBob & Patrick)
Taxi Driver: Taxi. Taxi. Anyone in need of a taxi?
(SpongeBob & Patrick enter the taxi)
Taxi Driver: Where to, boys?
SpongeBob: A large, suburban, red, brick house.
Taxi Driver: Alrighty!
SpongeBob: Are you excited to see Sandy, or what?
Patrick: I just want to return to Alaska..
SpongeBob: Patrick! This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so you better enjoy it!
Patrick: SpongeBob, we do this every year. This time I just wanted to enjoy myself at home, in Alaska!
SpongeBob: But still, we rarely get to see Sandy!
(Taxi stops)
Taxi Driver: Alright, boys, we're here! 
(SpongeBob & Patrick gets out of Taxi)

(SpongeBob knocks on Sandy's door)
