==Transcript==
(The episode opens up on a close up shot of a missing poster for someone named “Tony Seventy”. A customer opens the door, which is revealed to be the Krusty Krab’s doors)
Walker: Ohh… I hope I get my order right this time. 
(Jenkins is at a table, eating a patty)
Jenkins: (notices Walker and waves)
Walker: Oh! Oh hi there, Jenkins. Did you see the poster on the door over there?
Jenkins: You must be seeing things. I don't remember seeing a poster. (Looks at the door) Oh. I guess I was the one seeing things. (Gets up) I'll go take a looksie.
Walker: You go do that, Jenkins. I'm gonna get in line and hopefully get my order right.
Jenkins: Don't you just get a Krabby Patty with kelp fries?
Walker: (snaps finger) You got it! Now if only I could remember.
Jenkins: (writes note on piece of paper and gives it to Walker) There. No more forgettin’. Now if you'll excuse me…
(Jenkins gets up, and Walker smiles as he gets in the line. Jenkins begins to read the poster)
Jenkins: “MISSING: TONY SEVENTY. REWARD: $100,000”?! (his eyes turn into dollar signs) Holy spaghetti sauce! If I get my hands on that kind of money, I don't know what I'd do with it!
Mabel: $100,000 clams, eh, Jenkins? Don't let Archie get a hold of that news.
Walker: (approaching with onion burger and kelp soda) What news?
Jenkins: (sighs) Tony Seventy has gone missing, and they're handing out $100,000 to whoever finds him.
Walker: Wow! That's a lot of money! I could've retired much sooner with that much.
Mabel: Better late than never, I suppose. I don't really care about the money though, I've learned it doesn't really matter to me.
Walker: Wonder why the sonny's missing in the first place.
Jenkins: Who knows? But there's only one way to find out. I'm gonna look for him right now! (leaves patty on table)
Walker: Oh come on! I just got my order! Keep it warm for me, will you, Mabel? (leaves along with Jenkins)
Mabel: …no I won't. (Starts eating Walker’s food)
(Cut to Jenkins and Walker walking in opposite directions outside)
Jenkins: I'll get to it first. I'll have Tony in my arms before you can say “eh?”
Walker: Eh?
(Jenkins has already left)
Walker: Gosh durn it! (tries to run but falls over) My legs…
Fred: (pointing at Walker) Oh that is classic comedy right there.
Walker: Shut your traps, Fred!
(Cut to Jenkins in Jellyfish Fields, hollering for Tony’s name)
Jenkins: Tony! Tony! TONYYY! (coughs) My voice box ain't as good as it used to.
Walker: Tony!
Jenkins: What're you doing here, old coot?
Walker: There's a search party for Mr. Tony now. It's not just us anymore.
Archie: Hello.
Jenkins: (eyes fall out, pops them back in and readjusts them) A-A-Archie?
Archie: Oh relax, I'm not going to hurt you. The truce, remember?
Jenkins: Oh yeah. My noggin ain't as good as it used to.
Walkers: Who's this Archie feller?
Jenkins: Me and Archie used to be arch enemies, heheh. Wordplay.
Walker: …I don't get it.
Jenkins: (sighs) TONY!
(Suddenly, stomping is heard off-screen, which is revealed to be Jess)
Jess: (top of her lungs, shaking the ground) TONYYYYYYY!!!!
Archie: (covering ears) Neptune, you're not just going to find him, you're going to give him hearing damage!
Patrick: No kidding. (eats a pair of hearing aids)
Walker: Hey! Those are mine, you youngin’ scoundrel!
Patrick: (burps) Those weren't yours. They were mine, I touched them last.
Walker: (sees his pockets are empty) Dag nabbit!
Jenkins: Well I think this place is getting too crowded. I'm searching someplace else.
Walker: Can I come with?
Jenkins: (laughs)
Walker: Is that a yes or a no?
Jenkins: (glares at Walker, then walks off)
Patrick: (to Walker) Have another pair of those ear candies?
Walker: D’oh…
(Cut to downtown Bikini Bottom, where Jenkins is walking on the sidewalk)
Jenkins: I think I'll ask some peoples around here if they know anything about the whereabouts of Tony.
(Jenkins knocks on the door of somebody’s house, who answers, slightly irritated)
Incidental 3: Yeah?
Jenkins: Have you seen (holds up poster) Tony Seventy? He’s gone missing.
Incidental 3: What?! He’s gone missing?! Aw man, he was my coach in gym class! (shakes head) Sadly, I haven’t seen him in some time. Sorry about that.
Jenkins: No worries, have a good day, feller. (walks away) Darn, I guess I didn’t get lucky there. Maybe this next one. (knocks on another house’s door, which doesn’t gain a response) Huh. (knocks again, harder this time)
Incidental 69: (answers) Yeah? (looking behind) Shut up, Janet, I’m talking to someone besides you for once. (mutters) I need a divorce. So anyway, what’s up?
Jenkins: Uhh… (holds up poster) Have you seen Tony Seventy anywhere in the past week or so? He’s gone missing.
Incidental 69: (shakes head) Sorry, I don’t know his whereabouts. He was my teacher back in college, good guy I must say. Well, goodbye now. (shuts door, yelling is heard)
Jenkins: Yeesh, I smell domestic issues. (shrugs) Not my problem, though. Maybe third time’s the charm… (knocks on another house’s door, and once again gets no response) Gosh darn it, maybe some other time…
(Just as Jenkins walks away, an unknown force opens the door. Jenkins gasps, and it cuts back to the search party, now also in downtown Bikini Bottom)
Walker: I saw Jenkins go here, so maybe he's around here somewhere.
Jess: Playing follow the leader, huh? I like it.
Walker: I really had no other ideas. Either that or we check Shady Shoals. I like Shady Shoals.
Jess: You literally live there.
Walker: Oh yeah.
Archie: First house, guys. (knocks on house door, to which Incidental 3 answers, once again irritated)
Incidental 3: What is it this time?
Archie: Looks like Jenkins already asked this guy. Let's go to another house.
Incidental: Imbeciles. (slams door)
(Cut back to Jenkins, who is now tied to a chair. Tony is in a chair next to him)
Jenkins: You too?! We've been looking all over for you! This means I can get the reward!
Tony: Who cares about the reward? I already came here to look for the last missing person! (points to Squilliam in the chair next to him)
Jenkins: So that's why we haven't heard from him in a while.
Squilliam: I've been stuck here for two WEEKS! The master only feeds us food once a week! And it's white bread! How peasant-y. (scoffs)
Jenkins: Wait… does this mean I'm gonna be missing too?!
Squilliam: Afraid so. Not much we can do. Every time someone tries to knock on the door to this place, they get snatched if they don't get away quick enough.
Jenkins: Now the question I have is… who's behind all this?
Unknown: (coming in wearing a black cloak) Here is your food. Don't. Leave. (sets down a plate of white bread and leaves)
Jenkins: Hey, who are ya anyway?
(The person slowly turns around to face Jenkins, and sneers)
Unknown: That… must never be known. (leaves the room)
(Cut back to the search party, who have exhausted every other house in town)
Archie: (tired) We've… we've exhausted our options except for this final house. Let's… let's hope this person knows where he is.
(Archie knocks on the unknown person’s door. Once again, nobody answers)
Jess: Welp, it looks like we've tried every house in town. We're gonna have to try somewhere else.
Archie: Hold on a second. (pauses) Do you hear that?
Walker: What did you say?
Jess: Now that you mention it, I hear screaming coming from inside. Let's investigate.
Search party member: Isn't this an intrusion of privacy?
(The others laugh them off. Everyone goes inside, tiptoeing)
Archie: Shh, everyone. We don't know what's going on here.
(They all see Jenkins, Tony, and Squilliam tied up on chairs, and gasp)
Archie: I… I think we know now.
Jenkins: HELP!
Unknown: (off-screen) Quit yelling or you're getting the gag!
Jenkins: (gulps) Not the gag…
Jess: (whispering) Oh my gosh, this is even worse than I thought. These three have been kidnapped!
Squilliam: I've been here for two whole weeks.
Search party member 2: Barnacles, this has been going on for quite some time.
Squilliam: Indeed. Now can you GET US OUT OF HERE?
Unknown: (off-screen) That's it! I'm coming down there right now!
(Footsteps are heard as the unknown person goes downstairs)
Archie: Quick, untie everyone!
(Jess, with her extraordinary tying skills, unties all three of them in an instant. However, at that same moment, the unknown person sees what is happening)
Unknown: Ohohoh, more victims!
Jess: (picking up the three kidnappees) What's your motive, anyway?
Archie: And who in the world are you?
Walker: And where am I?
Unknown: It appears you guys are trying to make an escape. I will make sure that does NOT HAPPEN- oh they're already gone.
(Everyone else has left the house, as Jess is carrying the kidnapped on her back and the others are running along with her. The unknown person unmasks himself to reveal that he is Dennis)
Dennis: (running towards them) COME BACK HERE! I NEED THAT REWARD MONEY!
Archie: Reward money?
Jess: There's no time for questions right now! Just run! Let's go to the police station!
Dennis: I NEED THAT REWARD MONEY!
(Everyone else takes a sharp turn to the left. Dennis quickly follows. They then take a sharp turn to the right, and Dennis still follows)
Jess: We need a diversion!
Walker: Ohh… (trips over his own walker and falls to the ground)
(Dennis accidentally trips on the walker and falls flat on his face. He gets up and growls as the others get away)
Dennis: Oh no you do NOT! MESS! WITH! DENNIS!
(The others decide to take shelter at the Krusty Krab)
Search party member: Are you guys sure this is a good place to hide?
Jess: Trust me, he wouldn't follow us into a public establishment. Stop being so irrational, dude.
(Dennis appears, and tears both of the Krusty Krab doors apart. He snorts)
Jess: Never mind then.
Dennis: YOU… YOU… COME BACK HERE. Huh?
(All of the search party members have disappeared. It is revealed that they are hiding in Krabs’ office)
Krabs: (trying to count money, then notices everyone) Do you mind? I'm trying to count me cash here! (shoves everyone out the door, where Dennis is standing with a knife, breathing heavily)
Dennis: I will KILL YOU ALL if I have to! Hand over the missing peoples or…. (makes a throat slitting gesture over his neck)
Krabs: (opens office door) What the halibut is going on here?
Dennis: (holds knife towards Krabs) Don't move, you crustaceous cheapskate.
Krabs: Wh-wh-wait, don't do it! I'm too rich to die!
Jenkins: (flexes bicep) Don't worry about the big guy, fellas. I'll take care of him.
(Everyone else takes a few steps back as Jenkins sneers at Dennis, who snorts back)
Dennis: (scoffs) You really want to die a fool? Well it's on. One less person in my way.
Archie: Jenkins, what are you doing?!
Jenkins: Asserting my dominance, that's what.
Jess: You're going to die!
Jenkins: (ignoring Jess, he punches Dennis square in the face, giving him two black eyes)
Dennis: (dolphin chirp)!
Jenkins: (raising fist) There is plenty more where that came from.
(Dennis tries to pin Jenkins to the ground, but Jenkins is too skinny to be within his grasp. Jenkins bites Dennis on the arm, and starts rapidly punching his face. This becomes so violent that the scene cuts to the others wincing)
Jess: Oh my Neptune, he's KILLING HIM!
Walker: Hey, ain't that big feller Dennis?
Everyone but Dennis: Dennis?!
Dennis: (weakly) Yes, that is my name. Now SHUT UP! (falls to the ground, defeated)
Jenkins: (carrying Dennis’ body and tossing it into the dumpster outside) Good riddance, big man.
(Everyone applauds Jenkins as he looks prideful. Everyone goes back inside and business returns to normal. Cut to the police station, where the missing people are being turned in)
Walker: So, who gets the money?
Jenkins: (with the bag of money) It's up to all of yous. (spills the money’s contents to the floor)
(The episode ends with everyone frantically trying to scoop up the cash for themselves)
