Back From The Future is the seventh episode of SpongeThorne.
==Transcript==
(The episode opens where the last left off, with Hoopla at his house connecting pieces of string between pictures on a corkboard. Dave enters.)
Dave: Hey.
Hoopla: Hi.
Dave: Some crazy shit happened yesterday.
Hoopla: Yep.
Dave: Hoop, what's the matter?
Hoopla: Nothing.
Dave: Come on, something's up. You can tell me. I'm on the team!
Hoopla: (sigh) I'm just worried, you know. These past few episodes it feels like everyone's after us. I'm probably repeating myself, but I think they're connected, Dave. You heard what Curt said.
Dave: I know, I know. I can't help but feel something is happening too. But hey, it's our job to figure this sort of stuff out, right?
Hoopla: Yeah, you're right. But I'm also worried about you too.
Dave: Me? Why would you-
(pause)
Dave: Oh. Look, Hoop, I know what he said but I honestly don't know anything. I swear. You believe me, right?
(pause)
Dave: Right?
(pause)
Hoopla: (sigh) I guess.
(Hoopla puts on a satchel and starts heading towards the door.)
Dave: What do you mean "you guess"? We didn't end on a cliffhanger just for you to turn and around and- Wh- where are you going?
Hoopla: To the Krusty K. The food's not as good as DFF, but hey it's free now they help us and Mr. K's our investor.
Dave: Can- can I come?
Hoopla: Look, Dave, I just need to be alone right now, okay?
Dave: (sigh) Okay.
Hoopla: I think Temmie's making waffles.
(Hoopla exits the house. The fire alarm starts going off.)
Dave: HOW THE HELL DO YOU SET OFF THE FIRE ALARM BY MAKING WAFFLES?!
(Theme song. Cut to Hoopla entering The Krusty Krab.)
Mr. Krabs: Ahoy, Hoopla! What brings you back so soon?
Hoopla: My hunger? Please, I'm not in a good mood right now. Just get me the usual.
Mr. Krabs: Well, uh, whatever you say.
(Hoopla sits down. Mr. Krabs leans in on Squidward.)
Mr. Krabs: He's oddly peckish today.
Squidward: I'll say. SpongeBob, fix up the usual for your Hoopla friend.
SpongeBob: Really? He's back again? I guess my expert fry cook skills really are improving! (laughs)
(Mr. Krabs and Squidward stare in silence for a few seconds.)
Mr. Krabs: Get back to work, the both of ya.
(Bubble transition to two unknown figures walking down SpongeThorne town. One is holding a mysterious device that regularly beeps.)
???: Neptune, I haven't had a burger in years.
????: stay focused. we're on a mission, remember?
???: Yeah, yeah, mission smission. Can't we just check out the overworld a little bit? I've forgotten how much I've missed it.
????: whatevs. we have to introduce ourselves at some point though.
???: (sigh) Yeah, you're right. Let's go. Just let me do the talking.
(The two walk off-screen. Pan over to Aidan and Paige staring at them from a bus stop.)
Aidan: Wait, was that-
Paige: Nah.
(Cut to Hoopla leaving The Krusty Krab. He leaves ten dollars by Squidward's post.)
Hoopla: Keep the change.
Squidward: Wow, really? Thank-
(Mr. Krabs slides in and swipes the cash up.)
Mr. Krabs: (laughs) Nice try, Mr. Squidward.
Squidward: (groans) Sometimes I regret not joining that cult.
(Cut to the house where Dave is playing table tennis with himself against a wall.)
Dave: Hey, Tem, you sure you don't wanna play?
Temmie: nah, tem gud. still shaken up fwom da waffles.
Dave: Well, uh, okay.
(The doorbell rings.)
Temmie: tem get it!
(Mr. Sprinkles rushes towards the door and starts barking at it. Temmie follows.)
Temmie: (sigh) mista sprinkles, how many times do i have 2 tell u not 2 bark at the-
(Temmie opens the door to find two ghost-like versions of herself and Hoopla standing there.)
Temmie: oh, hewwo me!
Temmie 2: hewwo me!
(They laugh for a few seconds.)
Temmie: wait… 
(Exterior shot.)
Temmie: (off-screen) WHAT DA FUCK?!
(Dave approaches the door.)
Dave: Ah, Hoopla, you're ba- wait why are there two Temmies?
(Another Hoopla approaches them from the back door.)
Hoopla: Hey guys, what's all the fuss abo- and there are two mes. Oh Jeez. 
(Hoopla faints. Everyone stares at him in silence for a few seconds.)
Dave: Is it fair to say I've seen weirder over the course of this series?
Hoopla 2: Yeah.
(Hoopla gets up.)
Hoopla: Oh, guys, I just had this really weird dream. There was like another version of myself and- 
(The two Hooplas stare at each other for several seconds.)
Hoopla: It wasn't a dream, was it?
Dave: I don't think so.
Hoopla 2: I think it's clear that we owe an explanation. Hi, we're your ghosts from the future.
(Hoopla faints again.)
Future Hoopla: Am- am I going too fast for you?
Dave: Eh. I'm rarely fazed by anything.
(Cut to everyone sitting on the couch. Temmie keeps poking her paw through Future Temmie's body.)
Temmie: woah
Hoopla: Okay, wait. If you guys are really us… what number are we thinking of?
(Future Hoopla and Future Temmie look at each other in confirmation before speaking simultaneously.)
Future Hoopla: 69 dudes-
Future Temmie: seven-
Future Hoopla: Tem, I thought we agreed on this!
Future Temmie: (sigh) sowee.
Future Hoopla: And we wrote a script for this too.
Hoopla: Nah, nah, I believe you, I just wanted to make the joke.
Dave: Just because you make a reference doesn't mean it's funny.
Hoopla: And pointing out lazy writing doesn't excuse it. Sorry, I'm just in shock that I'm meeting you, I mean us, I mean-
Future Hoopla: It's fine.
Hoopla: So what's time travel like? How are we both able to simultaneously exist in the same period like this? 
Dave: Is Kanye president?
Future Hoopla: I, uh, don't wanna spoil it for any of you.
Dave: Fuck!
Hoopla: I see. Who invents time travel? Do I invent time travel?
Future Hoopla: Enough questions, okay? (laughs)
Dave: So, like, what are you doing here anyway?
Temmie: r u here to tell us that wii need to go 2 da 8th dimension and defeet the giant monkee man?
Future Temmie: some1 wealy needs to sort that one out.
Future Hoopla: I wish we were. Look, I'm just gonna be straight with you.
Hoopla: I mean we're pan so-
Future Hoopla: We're here to warn you.
Hoopla: W- warn us? But why?
Future Hoopla: Look, I'm pretty you already no something big is coming.
Hoopla: Ha! I was right! 
Temmie: bu whats cuming?
Future Hoopla: I- heh, don't want to alarm you but we're kind of, sort of, maybe, but just maybe… kind of heading into war territory he-
Hoopla: War? We're heading into a war? But why? What does this have to do with us?
Future Hoopla: Hoopla, I mean me, I mean- well whatever I mean, I think it's clear and safe to say that a lot of ghosts, more the bad ones, don't exactly like us.
Dave: Well Sherlock, you've really outdone yourself this time.
Hoopla: But why-
Future Hoopla: Look, I'm sure you understand I need to be really vague here because… uh… space time continuum shit and whatever it's called, right?
Hoopla: Well yeah but you, I mean I, can't just show up here and announce we're heading into what's basically a war and then kiss us goodnight!
Future Hoopla: I get that, you know I do because I'm you, But-
Hoopla: Wait, this isn't what leads to our death, is it?
Future Hoopla: Well-
(Hoopla starts pacing around.)
Hoopla: Do you know how much pressure I'm carrying on me right now? We're the only people in town that get this stuff! We have so many questions and- (Hoopla sits back down and relaxes) Ugh, I guess I'm just really frustrated and… well scared I guess.
(pause)
Dave: It's okay, we're here for you.
Hoopla: I'm sorry. You're probably here for a reason. 
(pause)
Future Temmie: yknow, tem thin what wii need rn is a break.
Future Hoopla: Huh, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. Let's just drop this whole thing for the moment and get out somewhere.
Hoopla: (sigh) Okay. I guess that sounds nice.
(Hoopla, Temmie, Future Hoopla and Future Temmie begin leaving the house. Dave begins to follow but Future Hoopla stops him.)
Future Hoopla: Woah wish woah, where do you think you're going?
Dave: ...with all you?
Future Hoopla: (patronising laugh) You guys hear that? The ghost guy thought he was coming with us! That's funny. (laughs)
Temmie: hay dats not nice!
Hoopla: I'm sure he, I mean I, didn't mean anything by it. You've got everything planned out, right me?
Future Hoopla: Uh… yeah. Sorry Dave, it's just better if you stay here.
Dave: (sigh) Okay. I think I understand.
Future Hoopla: Good. Off we go then.
(Hoopla, Future Hoopla and Future Temmie walk out. Dave pulls Temmie back.)
Dave: Wait, you're not going with them are you? You're better than that Tem!
Temmie: but i wanna go!
Dave: Come on, you and I both know this is very sus.
Temmie: ...wii do? but woopwa said evewytings pwanned out!
Future Hoopla: (off-screen) Tems, you coming?
Temmie: coming! 
(Temmie leaves and shuts the door.)
Dave: (sigh) When they get back I'm telling Hoopla about the waffle incident. I just know something's wrong! But I can't do this alone…
(Cut to Dave in the kitchen with SpongeBob at the Krusty Krab.)
SpongeBob: (gasp) You want me to go on a secret mission with you?!
Dave: Uh… sure.
SpongeBob: (squeals in excitement) This is going to be so much fun! (salutes) I promise not to let you down, captain! After all… (singing) 🎵I am not a simple sponge!🎵
(Mr. Krabs bursts in.)
Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob! What's the meaning of all this singing! You've been like this since you watched that silly musical about pig meat on Disney+.
SpongeBob: I'm going on a secret mission with Dave!
(Dave facepalms.)
Mr. Krabs: Dave? Who's Dav- (he notices Dave) Oh, ghost guy! How's my favorite former intern and current money maker!
Dave: Uh… good I guess.
Mr. Krabs: Great! Of course you can go and do some stupid stuff with him, SpongeBob! Take lots of pictures! Pictures mean publicity, and publicity means money! 
(Mr. Krabs runs off to his office laughing.)
Dave: He totally has a money fetish.
SpongeBob: So, what are we gonna do first?
Dave: Well at the moment we just need to spy on Hoopla, Temmie and their so-called "future counterparts".
SpongeBob: Ooh, can we do it in a montage?
Dave: (groan) Yeah, whatever.
SpongeBob: YA-
(We see a montage of Hoopla, Temmie and their counterparts doing things while Dave and SpongeBob spy on them. Hoopla initially looks worried about what was mentioned earlier throughout the different scenarios but eventually warms up. At first they walk through a park. Temmie ignores a "Do Not Feed The Clams" sign and throws them some bread crumbs. The clams devour them and chase the group around the park wanting some more. Dave appears from hiding behind a tree with some binoculars, while SpongeBob appears from the shallow end of the lake wearing some snorkels. Dave shakes his head in disapproval. We then see them walking into DFF for some food. Hoopla is annoyed, presumably at already haven eaten fast food, but his Future self convinces him to go over the counter. SpongeBob is disguised as a cashier and takes his order. Hoopla walks off, and Aidan approaches SpongeBob in his work uniform confused and SpongeBob flees the building. We then see them at a lane at a bowling alley. Hoopla goes over to collect his ball while Future Temmie shows Temmie how to bowl. Temmie takes her turn but it falls down the side and she doesn't score. Future Temmie collects her ball and gives it back to her. Temmie throws the ball again and Future Temmie flies into the finger holes and guides it down the lane, scoring a spare. The camera pans over to Dave and SpongeBob watching from an arcade area. SpongeBob is taking notes on how to score better and Dave snatches the notepad off him in annoyance. Cut to a shot of the entrance to the Glove Universe theme park, and then cut to Dave approaching SpongeBob who is sitting on a bench eating cotton candy. He sits next to him.)
SpongeBob: Mmm. Good stuff this is. You really should try it.
(Dave grabs a chunk with his hand and shoves it into his mouth.)
Dave: Eh, tasted better when I was alive.
SpongeBob: Nah, the stuff they sell her is just really cheap. Patrick and I come here all the time. They're opening up a Mermaid Man section in November.
Dave: I just don't get it! We've followed them all day and they've just done nothing but be nice to them! First the park, then Discord Fast Food, then the bowling alley, and now Glove Universe?
SpongeBob: Well they did make Hoopla pay for the food-
Dave: It just doesn't make sense! They haven't even said why they're ghosts!
SpongeBob: Uh… you haven't told me why you're a ghost.
Dave: Besides the point. I just don't know what they could be up to!
SpongeBob: (chewing) Maybe they're not up to… I dunno, anything? They could just be telling the truth and having fun with themselves?
Dave: Yeah but then there wouldn't be an episode here.
SpongeBob: I mean, one time I had fun with a load of clones of myself.
Dave: Wait, there were a load of clones of you?
SpongeBob: 297 actually. It's a long story. See, there used to be this evil guy across the street from The Krusty Krab who wanted to steal the secret formula, so he tricked me into putting my face on a copy machine so he could make a load of clones of me to steal it for-
(Hoopla, Temmie and their future selves approach them.)
Hoopla: Dave? SpongeBob? What are you doing here?
(Dave and SpongeBob stare in silence for a few seconds.)
Dave: rah that's a proper mad question that
(SpongeBob breaks down in tears.)
SpongeBob: It was his idea! It's all his fault! He's crazy! We were spying on you because he doesn't trust your ghosts! I never had any part in the plan! I didn't even want to tag along but-
(Dave takes out a recorder pen and plays back their conversation earlier.)
Recorded SpongeBob: (gasp) You want me to go on a secret mission with you?!
Recorded Dave: Uh… sure.
Recorded SpongeBob: (squeals in excitement) This is going to be so much fun! (salutes) I promise not to let you down, captain! After all… (singing) 🎵I am not a-
(Dave stops the recording.)
SpongeBob: Um, how long have you had that on you?
Dave: Oh, I found it in the Krusty Krab trash a few years ago.
SpongeBob: Huh, can I have a look?
Dave: Sure I guess.
(Dave passes SpongeBob the pen.)
Hoopla: You were... spying on us?
Dave: Well, uh, you know "spying" is such a strong wor-
Future Hoopla: (chuckles) I would have expected as much from you two.
Hoopla: Dave, I know it's great you're interested in "looking out for us" but we were supposed to come alone.
Dave: But you said it yourself! We don't know what's coming! We don't know what this apparent "war" is! If they're really you from the future why aren't they helping us work everything out, huh?
(pause)
Hoopla: Dave, we've been talking.
Dave: ...about what?
(Hoopla looks back at his future self who nods.)
Hoopla: I think it's time we went our separate ways. 
(pause)
Dave: I understand.
(Dave gets up and slowly walks off. Future Hoopla smiles.)
SpongeBob: Wh- where is he going?
Future Hoopla: Away.
SpongeBob: But why?
(Hoopla and Future Hoopla turn to each other.)
Future Hoopla: It's the right thing.
(Hoopla and Future Hoopla walk off. Temmie and Future Temmie reluctantly follow. SpongeBob is left awkwardly standing in the middle. Bubble transition to the four entering a mirror maze attraction. Hoopla and Temmie go in first. Their future ghosts slowly follow them until they're far enough behind they can't be seen.)
Future Hoopla: (shivers) They've lost us.
(The two go through the mirrors until they're outside the back of the building.)
Future Hoopla: (sigh) So glad we got rid of that Dave guy, he asks too many questions. Hoopla's just lonely, open up to him and job done. Temmie… well Temmie's Temmie.
Future Temmie: this doesn't feel right.
Future Hoopla: We're on a mission, remember?
Future Temmie: stop using my words against me. i've just changed my mind. i don't think we should go through with this.
Future Hoopla: Aw, have they got you going all soft, have they? We've got Hoopla's trust, we can't go back. We don't have much time left until the portal opens back up again and we take them down into Hell with us. Boss is happy, we get the bounty and we're living fancy.
(The camera pans over to SpongeBob watching them from behind a tree. Bubble transition to him running towards Dave who is playing that carnival game where you have to knock over tin cans with a ball.)
SpongeBob: DAVE! DAVE!
(Dave misses his shot.)
Dave: Damnit SpongeBob! 
Gamemaster: Aw, tough luck son. You wanna try again?
Dave: Stupid rigged carnival game! What do you want, anyway?
SpongeBob: Dave! You were right! They aren't Hoopla and Temmie's future ghosts?
Dave: What?
SpongeBob: I overheard them by the mirror maze! (smirks) Patrick and I used to get lost in there all the time.
(Dave looks annoyed.)
SpongeBob: Oh right, sorry. 
(SpongeBob plays back the conversation on the recorder pen.)
Recorded Future Hoopla: We don't have much time left until the portal opens back up again and we take them down into Hell with us. Boss is happy, we get the bounty and we're living fancy.
SpongeBob: Heh, convenient plot device. I don't know what any of that means but I think they're in grave danger!
Dave: (sigh) What use is it anyway? Hoopla's suspicious of me, even with the recording he won't believe me.
SpongeBob: He'll have to when he gets dragged down into Heck!
Dave: Hell.
SpongeBob: That's what I said, Heck. 
(pause)
SpongeBob: Sorry I don't like swearing.
Dave: That's not swearing it's the name of a plac- whatever, we have to hurry.
(The two run off.)
Gamemaster: ...so that's a no? School
(Cut to Hoopla, Temmie and their future selves slowly approaching the drop on a rollercoaster. Temmie looks shaken.)
Future Hoopla: It's fine, Tems. At least we're not on the First Fist o' Pain.
(Temmie shivers. Dave and SpongeBob approach the rollercoaster from the ground.)
SpongeBob: There they are! (groan) We're gonna have to wait until they get off.
Dave: Says who?
(Dave grabs the recorder pen and flies past the queue of the ride.)
Dave: Sorry, coming through!
(Dave gets to the end and jumps in the car.)
Worker: Hey, you can't- (scream) you're a ghost!
Dave: Yeah, the first officially found one actually. Celebrities are allowed to be motherfuckers, right? Can you increase the speed on the car and get me up to the drop, like now, please?
Worker: That's not how it works.
Dave: It's a SpongeBob fanfic, anything goes.
Worker: Fair enough.
(The worker increases the speed on Dave's car and he catches up to Hoopla.)
Temmie: dav?
Future Hoopla: Ugh, him again.
Dave: Hoop, listen! I know you're skeptical and probably won't believe me but these people aren't who they say they are!
Future Hoopla: Ugh, here we go again.
Hoopla: Uh, Dave? Now's really not the time for this.
Dave: Why no-
(They approach the drop.)
Dave: Oh no.
(The group screams as they speed down the drop of the rollercoaster. Cut to SpongeBob watching them.)
SpongeBob: Huh.
(Cut to them back on the coaster going through several loop-de-loops. Future Temmie comforts Temmie.)
Dave: HOOP YOU GOTTA HEAR ME OUT HERE!
Hoopla: WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Future Hoopla: I'M, UH… SURE IT'S NOTHING IMPORTANT!
(The carts reach the end of the rollercoaster and they get off. Temmie looks even more shaken.)
Temmie: tem neva doing that agen!
Future Hoopla: Then why don't we try something… different? Y'know, away from these two?
Dave: You see? You see what he's doing? He might not even be a he, we don't know!
Future Hoopla: Teen minds do like to wander, don't they? Why don't we go on the ghost train?
Hoopla: Eh, sure. See ya Dave and Bob.
(Hoopla, Temmie and their future selves walk off.)
SpongeBob: Oh no.
Dave: What is it?
SpongeBob: The ghost train closed down years ago! They must have not updated the park maps! That's terrible of them!
Dave: Sponge, we've got bigger things to worry about then, wait! The recording! We didn't play them the recording!
(Dave plays back the recording.)
Recorded Future Hoopla: We don't have much time left until the portal opens back up again and we take them down into Hell with us.
Dave: That must be where the portal is!
SpongeBob: Huh, there were rumours coming from there. Guess that's why they haven't remodelled it. We gotta go stop them!
(The two chase after them, who are approaching the ghost train. The sign is faded and doors are boarded up.)
Hoopla: Huh. It doesn't look… open?
Future Hoopla: Nah, that's just uh… part of the attraction. Gives it a sort of rundown vibe, y'know.
Dave: WAIT! HOOP!
Future Hoopla: Ugh, them again.
Dave: The recording!
(He begins to play back the recording.)
Recorded Future Hoopla: (sigh) So glad we got rid of that Dave-
Future Hoopla: Forēs aperīre!
(The doors suddenly open, Future Hoopla rushes Hoopla and Temmie inside.)
Dave: Shit!
(Hoopla, Temmie and their future selves hurray down where the queue would be.)
Temmie: y r wii running?
Dave: Ugh, we have to go after them!
(Dave and SpongeBob chase after them.)
SpongeBob: Hoopla! Tems! Don't follow them!
(They reach the end of the queuing area and approach a large gate where people would have gotten on the ride. Several candles surround it.)
Dave: Hoopla! No!
Future Hoopla: (laughs) We're here.
Hoopla: These candles are lit.
Future Hoopla: Yes.
Hoopla: But… how?
(pause)
Future Hoopla: Reddere praeferentias forma!
("Future Hoopla" laughs as he changes form into an imp holding a tall stick.)
Temmie: where hoop ghost go?
(pause)
Future Hoopla: What? Why's no one screaming? I just changed into a fucking imp?
Dave: You're an imp? I thought you were a fairy.
Future Hoopla: I am insulted! Hoopla, cower before me!
(pause)
Hoopla: Nah.
Future Hoopla: What? Are you saying you knew the entire time?
Hoopla: Pretty much. I don't find 69 jokes funny.
Future Hoopla: Agh! I thought everyone found 69 jokes funny!
Temmie: wut a sexy nun joke?
("Future Hoopla points the stick at "Future Temmie".)
Future Hoopla: Reddere praeferentias forma!
(Future Temmie transforms into the ghost of an anthropomorphic .)
SpongeBob: Woah.
Dave: (angry) You mean to tell me you knew they weren't the real deal the entire time? Do you have any idea what I've been through today?
Hoopla: Dave, I'll explain later! We have bigger problems right now!
Future Hoopla: Oh yeah, I was about to open a portal to the literal underworld before I was rudely interrupted by no one giving a shit. I feel like a pathetic Disney villain. Oh well. Aperi por-
(SpongeBob stretches his arm out and grabs the stick. Future Hoopla and SpongeBob try to pull it away for each other.) 
Future Hoopla: Let go you… simple sponge!
SpongeBob: (gasp) I am not a-
(SpongeBob manages to pull the stick out of his grasp.)
SpongeBob: Uh-huh! 
Future Hoopla: Volant!
(The stick flies out SpongeBob's hands and back over to the imp's.)
Future Hoopla: How you like me now?
Dave: Ugh, we're powerless without the ghost sucker! You know we really should give that a name one day.
(SpongeBob forms muscles out of his spongy arms and charges towards the imp, and they begin wrestling.)
Future Hoopla: Ugh! Get off me!
(The stick falls out of the imp's grasp and lands towards Future Temmie.)
Future Hoopla: Don't just stand there! Do something!
Future Temmie: i, uh-
Future Hoopla: Do something, you fool!
(Future Temmie has flashbacks to earlier in the episode when she was with Temmie at the park, when she was teaching Temmie how to bowl and when she was comforting Temmie on the rollercoaster.)
Future Hoopla: Just open the fucking portal you imbecile!
Future Temmie: no! you and me both know this is wrong!
Future Hoopla: What? It's "you and I" you-
(Future Temmie picks up the stick.)
Future Temmie: Lanuae magicae!
(Hoopla's ghost sucker materializes out of thin air.)
Hoopla: Bingo!
(The imp punches SpongeBob and gets up.)
Future Hoopla: Aha! Once again I win!
Hoopla: Oh really, Sherlock?
Future Hoopla: Huh?
Hoopla: Say cheese!
Future Hoopla: Oh no.
(The imp screams as he is sucked up by Hoopla. Pause.)
SpongeBob: Well that was underwhelming.
Hoopla: Dave! I'm so sorry! I had to! I wanted to see where they were going with-
(Hoopla and Dave rush over each other and try to embrace, even though Dave is a ghost and they technically can't touch each other.)
Dave: It's fine, I'm over it. Does this mean-
Hoopla: Yes. You'll always be on PISS. I'm sorry for overthinking things this morning. I don't know what you've been through as a ghost.
Dave: ...neither do I?
(SpongeBob gets up.)
SpongeBob: Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
Hoopla: (chuckles) Come on in.
(SpongeBob and Temmie join the group hug. Future Temmie follows. They stop hugging.)
Hoopla: Hey… you didn't have to do that.
Future Temmie: i know. 
Dave: I mean inside of every demon is a rainbow. 
Future Temmie: also it's Lucky.
Dave: Cool name.
Lucky: Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams scare me.
SpongeBob: (smirks) So… what now?
Lucky: I… think I've got some serious self-reflection to do.
Hoopla: I, uh, know the owners of this really great hotel. I could have a word if you wanna stay there. We might pop in from time to time.
Lucky: (blushes) thanks, i guess. i mean it.
Dave: You know, I'm tired. Let's go home.
Temmie: good idea.
Hoopla: Indeed.
(Hoopla looks back at the gate.)
Dave: What is it?
Hoopla: What if he was telling the truth, y'know, about what's coming.
Dave: You're not worried, are you?
(pause)
Hoopla: Yes... More than ever.
(end)
