LeBron: ...enthusiastic....
Squidward: So what are you waiting for, Luis?
Luis: To go to the bathroom, actually.
Squidward: Well then hurry up! This sexy butt ain't gonna film itself!
Luis: I'm not filming your butt, Squidward. Now where's the bathroom?
Krabs: A bathroom? Bahahahah! Just like The Krusty Krab, this place ain't got a bathroom!
Squidward: I thought we had a bathroom!
Krabs: Not after I used it! Rest In Peace, bathroom.
Luis: Never mind, I just went. That's what pants are made for.
Plankton: Aughh!!!! I can feel it dripping on me down here!
Luis: Well, if y'all are gonna start practicing, I'll go ahead and start filming-
Patrick: BUT FIRST YOU NEED TO PLAY WITH US!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luis: But I don't want to be a player, I want to be the journa-- 
Patrick: DO AS I SAY, OR YOU'RE KICKED OUT OF THE RESTAURANT.
Luis: But we're not in a restau-
Patrick: I WILL TAKE YOU TO A RESTAURANT, AND KICK YOU OUT OF IT.
Luis: Well, if you insist. I mean, I did play a little in high school.
Larry: Were you any good?
Luis: No.
Larry: Oh...that's nice.
Luis: So, me vs. all of you?
LeBron: Nope. You vs. Patrick.
Luis: Whaaat?????
Krabs: Well Patrick WAS the one who mentioned it.
LeBron: Silence. Begin!
10 minutes later
 
LeBron: And the score is 99 - 0. Timeout, called by Luis.
Luis: (sits down, panting) I can't believe I'm losing. I need to catch up.
Squidward: That's impossible! And you're losing to PATRICK!! That's embarrassing!
Luis: Anything can happen...with IMAGINA-
SpongeBob: NO! NO IMAGINATION! I DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE! THIS IS BASKET SPONGE, NOT SpongeBob SQUAREPANTS!
Luis: Ok, ok, skills.
LeBron: Timeout is over. Both of you, back on the court.
Patrick: I like armpits.
A montage of Luis beating Patrick is shown.
LeBron: 118 - 99 for LUIS!!! We have a WINNER!! Against....Patrick....which means nothing. Cuz he sucks.
Plankton: How'd he even score a single point anyways?
Patrick: (un-zips himself) It's me, Kobe Bryant! I dressed up like Patrick and took his place! You fools never knew the difference! BAZINGA! (runs outside)
SpongeBob: Wait, then where's the REAL Patrick?
Patrick is shown to be duct-taped to a train track.
Patrick: I like trains. (the train comes and runs him over)
The scene cuts back to the gym.
LeBron: Wait.....this means Luis beat Kobe Bryant......a basketball legend, just like myself!
Larry: Whoa....I thought you said you weren't good at basketball, Luis!
Luis: Eh. (shrugs)
LeBron: (grabs Luis and starts shaking him) You beat Kobe Bryant! You beat KOBE BRYANT!! YOU BEAT KOBE BRYANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luis: Haha, I know.
LeBron: Are you sure you don't wanna join the team....as a PLAYER???
Luis: Well, I don't know...
LeBron: Come on! We need you! We have a game tonight!
Larry: Coach, can I talk to you in private for a minute?
Larry and LeBron walk outside.
Larry: Coach, are you sure about this guy?
LeBron: Of course! He beat Kobe Bryant! That's something I couldn't even do in the NBA! This guy could be our ticket to the tournament!
Larry: Do you remember what happened with Sandy?
LeBron: Yes. She was the best player I've ever seen, and I treated her wrong. Now I've lost her. But this will be so much different. I'll treat this guy with respect. And I think he's better than Sandy!
Larry: Coach, we can't just let 'em join the-
LeBron: (grabs Larry's nipple) This is called the Wuxi Nipple Hold. I learned it from Kung Fu Panda!
Larry: (gritting his teeth) It was the Wuxi Finger Hold. Ahem. FINGER!!!
LeBron: You have claws. I ain't no fool. (releases his nipple, and walks back inside) Luis, welcome to the team!
Luis: Yay!!! This is gonna rock!!!!
Larry: (sigh) Here we go again.
Scene cuts to Luis, being interviewed by the local reporter, Johnny Elaine, after the game which they just won.
Luis: Wow, for once, I'M the one BEING interviewed! 
Johnny: So, Luis, you're the newest member of the Bulldogs. How did it feel to win the game tonight?
Luis: Well, I shouldn't take ALL the credit....but...I will. 
Squidward: (jumps in front of the camera) Ladies! Check out mah sexy BUTT!!!! Woo-hoo!!! Sandy, are you out there, Babe? This flex is for YOU! (flexes his butt) Can't take your eyes of this, eh?
