*[episode starts with Squidward at the Krusty Krab, walking lazily to a table, carrying a tray of food]
*Squidward: [groggily] Here is your 50-year celebratory Krabby Patty, celebrating fifty years of the Krabby Patty. [Squidward places a Krabby Patty with "50" carved into the bun] That'll be fifty dollars.
*Customer 1: [hands Squidward money] These things are so expensive, yet so useless.
*[scene cuts to Mr. Krabs, carrying customer, throwing him out of restaurant]
*Mr. Krabs: And stay out of me restaurant with that fowl mouth! [slams doors shut; begins walking menu board with ladder] Some people just need a little more push. [begins painting on menu]
*SpongeBob: [walks out with tray] One celebratory Krabby...! [paint falls on bun] Patty. [looks up] Sir, what are you doing?
*Mr. Krabs: Making a couple of...[grins] changes to the menu.
*Squidward: [looks up at menu] No way! [walks to ladder] You're charging one hundred dollars for a hamburger?
*Mr. Krabs: No. That's proposterous. [paints a one next to the superscripted zero] I'm charging one hundred dollars and one cent for a hamburger.
*Squidward: Of course.
*SpongeBob: [begins to walk to kitchen] I better go make another one.
*Mr. Krabs: [gasps; eyes begin to blink red; climbs down ladder quickly] SpongeBob, no! [stops SpongeBob; whispers] Just give it to the customer. They won't mind.
*SpongeBob: But Mr. Krabs, we can't feed the customers paint. That'll make them frantic, and destroy everything in their sights.
*Mr. Krabs: [grins] Is that so? Well then you might want to let them to eat it at the Chum Bucket. [points to Chum Bucket]
*SpongeBob: Can do, Mr. Krabs! [thinks] How will I get them to the Chum Bucket? [snaps finger with idea] Got it! [opens door] Hey, everyone! We're taking a field trip to the Chum Bucket!
*[Everyone sits still]
*SpongeBob: Did I forget to mention that they are serving celebratory Krabby Patties...now with decorative paint?
*[Everyone now begins to run to Chum Bucket]
*[scene cuts to Chum Bucket]
*Plankton: [walks out of Chum Bucket wearing coat] I'm going on my daily walk, Karen. [whispers] Don't wait up on me. [stops walking due to rumbling sound] What in the world is that? [begins to be trampled by a crowd of charging people] What in the seven seas? [walks back into Chum Bucket, only to be amazed by the amount of people]
*Karen: [walks into dining area] Goodness! Who are all of these people?
*Plankton: Just some people with some good taste, obviously. [hops onto table] Calm down, everybody! Your chum is on its way! [places towel on arm] May I interest you in some appetizers?
*Customer 2: Can it, you small...I don't know...paramecium!
*Plankton: Actually, I'm a...
*Customer 2: We're here for one reason and one reason only! [hits table] To eat some Krabby Patties!
*Plankton: [hops from table] What are you talking...? [runs over by skates] Ouch.
*SpongeBob: [camera cuts to reveal SpongeBob on skates with a plate of Krabby Patties] Did someone say Krabby Patties? [begins to throw Krabby Patties with paint to customers]
*Mr. Krabs: [appears next to SpongeBob] Good job, laddy. Now let's get out of here!
*[scene cuts to Krusty Krab]
*Mr. Krabs: [sips coffee cup] Taking longer than I thought. [sips again]
*SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs, when is this tear down going to happen?
*Mr. Krabs: About....[hears crash] right now. [looks out window, looking at a now destroyed Chum Bucket] Ha! Works everytime.
*Plankton: [from Chum Bucket] I'll get you for this, Krabs!
*Mr. Krabs: [opens Krusty Krab door] Ha! You and what army?
*[crowd begins to run past the street between the Chum Bucket and the Krusty Krab]
*Plankton: Well, this one...obviously.
*[scene cuts to downtown Bikini Bottom]
*Male Fish 1: What is this thing?
*Female Fish 1: I don't know, but it's beautiful.
*Mr. Krabs: [pushes people out of way] Excuse me! Excuse me! What is this beautiful thing that you all are...? [looks up in shock] Whoa. What is this thing?
*SpongeBob: It looks like...[camera cuts to reveal a large building] a building.
*Mr. Krabs: Where did it come from?
*SpongeBob: I think from...[points up] that place where all those weird animals and sand is.
*Sandy: [walks up] It's called land. This structure is from up there. But how in clam shells did it get all of the way down here?
*SpongeBob: [shrugs shoulders] Who knows? [touches wall] It's so...hard.
*Mr. Krabs: And mine. [camera pans to top of building; sticks flag with Krabby Patty symbol on it into roof] It would make a great second restaurant to celebrate fifty years of the Krabby Patty. [suddenly is caught in net and taken off roof]
*Plankton: [in crane] No way, Krabs! This restaurant is mine! [hops onto rod and hops onto roof] I declare this...the Chum Bucket! [places flag in roof with a chum logo on it]
*Mr. Krabs: Not so fast, Plankton! [files self out of net with dollar; throws dollar at flag, slicing it in half; catches dollar] You're not declaring anything! [climbs up rod onto roof]
*Plankton: You're get this restaurant over my cold, dead...uh...cell!
*Mr. Krabs: [grabs Plankton] That can be arranged!
*SpongeBob: [steps between Plankton and Mr. Krabs] Whoa now. Hang on there, gents. Let's not do anything we might regret.
*Plankton: Oh, I'll regret it when I...
*SpongeBob: Come on, Mr. Krabs. Let Plankton take the restaurant. You let those people tear it to shreds when we let them eat those patties.
*Plankton: [hops onto roof] Wait, what?
*Mr. Krabs: Shhh shhh. [brings SpongeBob to opposite side of building; whispering] Boy. This is the perfect opportunity the Krusty Krab may never get again that you're passing up. [places finger on SpongeBob's belly]
*SpongeBob: Yes, sir. But how are we going to keep Plankton from stealing this building?
*Mr. Krabs: [thinks] Good question, boy. Let me ponder this for a brief second. [begins sipping tea; begins setting up chess table; begins sewing sweater] Okay. I got an idea.
*[scene cuts to SpongeBob's house]
*SpongeBob: [walks out front door] The plan is now in affect. [takes out walkie-talkie] Squidward. Squidward, the plan has started.
*[scene cuts to Squidward's bedroom]
*Squidward: [sleeping; awoken from walkie-talkie] What? [picks up walkie-talkie] What is it, shell for brains?! I was taking my well-deserved beauty sleep.
*SpongeBob: Squidward, the plan is in affect. We need to go right now.
*Squidward: No we don't. [goes back to sleep]
*SpongeBob: [puts down walkie-talkie] Time to revert to plan B then.
*[scene cuts to Krusty Krab with SpongeBob pushing Squidward's bed into the dining area]
*Squidward: [takes off sleeping mask] Huh? Where am I? [looks at SpongeBob] SpongeBob?! Where did you take me?!
*SpongeBob: Where I had to, Squidward. You're at the good ol' Krusty Krab.
*Mr. Krabs: [from under table] Get under here, boys. I think that one-eyed Plankton is up to something...again.
*SpongeBob: What?
*Mr. Krabs: Look for yourself. [hands SpongeBob a telescope]
*SpongeBob: [looks into telescope, seeing Plankton running toward the building; gasps] No! Plankton's heading to the building! How are we going to catch him now?
*Mr. Krabs: Like this. [pushes a button on the underside of the table, launching the team into an underground room]
*SpongeBob: The control room? What are we doing here?
*Mr. Krabs: Saving our building. [begins pressing buttons] I've been producing the Krabby Patty for fifty years and I'm not giving up now. [control room launches and is launched above ground, flying toward the building]
*[scene cuts to Plankton, sculpting on top of building]
*Plankton: Almost finished. [hits the nail one more time, causing the structure to collapse] Just great. [hears whistling sound] What is that...? [looks up] Of course. Well with these past events, I wouldn't expect this to be a total surprise. [control room lands on Plankton]
*[Mr. Krabs, Squidward, and SpongeBob walk out of door]
*Mr. Krabs: Give it up, Plankton. This building was mine from the start. Surrender or [holds up fists] you'll have to get past these bad boys.
*Plankton: [crawls from under room] Oh yeah. Same to you, Eugene! [holds up fists]
*Mr. Krabs: We can do this all night, Plankton! Give up the building and no one gets hurt!
*SpongeBob: What do you mean no one? Aren't we out of this for being a part of your team?
*Mr. Krabs: I don't know. [points to Squidward] The green one looks a little shifty to me.
*Squidward: Me?!
*Plankton: Then I guess we will be here all night, Krabs.
*[scene cuts to the next morning]
*Mr. Krabs: [sleeping and snoring] Money money money. [snores] Money money money. [awakens] Huh? [finds ticket on belly] What's this? "City of Bikini Bottom ticket for 'restaurant closure' due to 'no management'?" What?!
*Plankton: [offscreen] Looks like you got the ticket, too. [camera cuts to reveal Plankton carrying a piece of paper toward the edge of the building] Looks like we're both jobless, Krabs. [throws paper over edge, also causing self to fall; caught by antennae by Krabs]
*Mr. Krabs: Hmm...then I guess we're going to have to...[begins mumbling]...have to...[mumbles again]
*Plankton: Come on, Krabs! Say it! [takes out megaphone] Say it! Say it! Say it!
*Mr. Krabs: [growls] Fine. [sighs] I guess we're going to have to...work...together then.
*Plankton: [crosses arms] Yeah, I don't see that working out. [leaps onto ceiling] If you think that I'm going to work with this cheapskate, then you must be a...
*SpongeBob: [offscreen; grunting] I think...that should do it. [camera cuts to reveal SpongeBob hanging a new sign on the building] Well, what do you think?
*Plankton: [looks at sign from atop building] The Krusty Chum? Yep, still don't see it working out.
*Mr. Krabs: Same here.
*[scene cuts to Plankton, standing on Mr. Krabs's eye while both himself and Mr. Krabs are in uniform; both standing behind the counter]
*Customer: I would like to have one Chum Patty with a side of Krabby Fries.
*Plankton: We don't serve Chum Patties.
*Customer: Then why is it on the menu?
*Plankton: What menu? There are no menus.
*Customer: [holds up paper] Then what do you call this?
*Plankton: That's the fire escape plan, numbskull. Now are you going to order something?
*Customer: A side of Krabby Patties, [scoffs and rolls eyes] hold the attitude.
*Plankton: Coming right up, sir. [steps on register key, opening register] Wait a minute! Did you just say...? [looks at where the fish was standing, yet is not there]
*Mr. Krabs: You drove him away, Plankton. [points at Plankton] Keep this up and there will be no Krusty Krab. Got it?!
*Plankton: That's The Krusty Chum to you, crab cakes. [holds up order tickets] Now we got orders, so get to it so you don't get fired.
*Mr. Krabs: [holds up fist] Why you little...
*SpongeBob: [grabs arms] Whoa now. Let's not do this in front of the customers. Besides, we've got orders to fill.
*Customer: [pause] Yeah!
*Mr. Krabs: [sighs and walks to fryers] I hate the restaurant business. [begins stirring fries, only to be frightened by alarm] Ah! The ship's being overthrown! Man your stations! [hops behind grill and grabs SpongeBob] Hold me, boy.
*SpongeBob: [pries Mr. Krabs off of him] Mr. Krabs, no one's overthrowing the ship. This is a restaurant. [points to fryer] That's just the alarm that lets you know that the fries are ready.
*Mr. Krabs: Oh. [stirs fries and begins to pour ketchup on them]
*Plankton: [walks over to Krabs] What in coral caverns are you doing, Krabsy?!
*Mr. Krabs: I am sautéing the fries. Duh! [throws ketchup bottle at Plankton] Now if you excuse me, I would like to get to my job.
*Plankton: [throws away ketchup bottle; yells] Oh, you think this is really a restaurant?! Then what do you call this?! [pulls lever]
*[scene cuts to outside of building, where it begins to launch into the air]
*Plankton: Would you really think I would share a restaurant with you without getting something out of it?! [takes out ticket] Take a closer look at it, Krabsy!
*Mr. Krabs: [looks at ticket closer; reading fine print] "This ticket is only valid for zero seconds and is copyright of [yells] Fooling Krabs Industries?!". Why I oughta...!
*[Plankton is seen jumping out of building with parachute]
*Mr. Krabs: [points to SpongeBob] This is all your fault, boy!
*SpongeBob: Mine?!
*Mr. Krabs: If you hadn't suggested we work together, this wouldn't have all happened!
*SpongeBob: But, I'm not the one that...
*Mr. Krabs: And now you've put the customers in a frenzy!
*Customer 2: [looks at watch] Oh, is it time to panic already?! [customers begin running around building in a panic]
*Mr. Krabs: [grabs SpongeBob] Since this is all your fault, boy-o, you have to fix this. Or else we're all going to end up on the chef's menu at the nearest market.
*SpongeBob: [begins thinking] I got it! Mr. Krabs, give me the biggest bucket of paint you have!
*Mr. Krabs: I don't see where you're going with this, SpongeBob, but...[reaches into pocket] I always keep some spare paint in my pocket.
*SpongeBob: [takes paint] Why do you...? Okay, this will do. [throws paint onto patties on the trays of the table] Order up, everybody!
*Customer 3: Hey guys, look! Paint patties, I think!
*[Customers begin eating paint patties, causing them to become ravid]
*SpongeBob: It's working. [points to exit] We might want to make a quick exit.
*Mr. Krabs: How long has that been there?
*SpongeBob: How long do you think? How do you think Plankton exited?
*Mr. Krabs: Oh, yeah. Good point.
*[SpongeBob and Mr. Krabs leap out of building, watching as the customers destroy the building]
*SpongeBob: We did it! [claps hands with Mr. Krabs; lands on Krusty Krab with Mr. Krabs]
*Mr. Krabs: Now let's just keep those ravid fish away from me restaurant. [looks up and sees building pieces falling toward Krusty Krab] Well, at least it's not the customers.
*[pieces fall and destroy the Krusty Krab]
*SpongeBob: [rises from debris] Well, at least not everything [holds up celebratory Krabby Patty] is destroyed.
*Mr. Krabs: [angrily] Yeah. Just the perfect way to celebrate the 50th anniversary.
