==Transcript==
(The episode begins with a white seahorse galloping along Jellyfish Fields, amidst a bunch of jellyfish. However, he suddenly gets stung by a jellyfish, and flees the fields and into Bikini Bottom. Cut to Old Man Jenkins feeding the chickens at his chicken coop.)
Jenkins: Ah, another perfectly typical day. Just how I like it.
(He hears galloping in the distance, followed by some strained neighs)
Jenkins: Is that a seahorse I hear? I better take a closer look. Stay here, chickens.
(The chickens stare blankly as Jenkins heads for the mysterious horse)
Random chicken: Bawk.
(Jenkins finally sees the seahorse in all its white glory)
Jenkins: A white seahorse? Now that’s something you don’t see every day. I better take ‘im into care before something bad happens to it.
(Jenkins holds a bale of hay in his hand as the white seahorse follows him all the way into the seahorse stables inside the barn)
Jenkins: There there, fella, it’s all fine and dandy now. Hmm, what should I call you? Eh, I’ll think of a name later. For now I gotta go feed my sea hogs.
(As Jenkins exits the barn, he gets a notification on his phone)
Jenkins: Oh, what is it now, phone?
(He looks at his notifications and sees a Chirper post about a critically endangered seahorse species that has been recently found in the wild)
Jenkins: Critically endangered? “Hippocampus bargibanti”? (he looks back at the horse stables) Could that be what species that seahorse is? (shrugs it off) Nah, couldn’t be. Rare things don’t happen at my farm. Trust me, they don’t. Okay, now to ‘’actually’’ feed the pigs.
Pig: Oink oink.
Jenkins: Please stop saying you’re dating my mother, you’re just talking nonsense.
Pig: Oink oink!
Jenkins: (sigh) Maybe another time, then. Well, time for my afternoon nap.
(Jenkins gets settled into a lawn chair nearby and immediately falls asleep snoring.)
French Narrator: Three hours later…
(Jenkins wakes up from his slumber to the white horse licking his face)
Jenkins: Stop it, boy! Stop it!
(The white horse stops licking his face, and looks nervous)
Jenkins: Oh, don’t be nervous, boy. You’re safe with me now. Nobody can hurt you. Now, do you want to have some fun?
(The white horse looks at Jenkins with eagerness)
Jenkins: I’ll take that as a yes. Well, let’s go have some fun!
(A montage with fun music plays as Jenkins takes the white horse on a tour of his farm, including the barn with its several farm animals…)
Jenkins: This here, my boy, is where the magic happens.
Chicken: Ba-ba-BAWK!
Jenkins: Shut up, will you?
Ol’ Bessie: moo.
Jenkins: Oh yeah, that's Ol’ Bessie. Don't mess with her or you'll get a big whoopin’!
(The white horse sniffs Bessie, who promptly kicks him against the barn wall)
Jenkins: Told ya.
(Jenkins brings the white horse to his sea hogs)
Jenkins: And these are my precious sea hogs. Don't get too close to them, either.
(The white horse sniffs the sea hogs, and they start eating his rear end)
Jenkins: Now that's just perverted.
(Jenkins pulls the horse away from the hogs)
Jenkins: Ravenous ones, those are.
(The white horse whimpers)
Jenkins: (patting him on the head) It'll be okay, fella. I know a place where you will definitely be welcomed.
(Bubble transition to the sea horse stable in the barn)
Jenkins: You'll fit much better with your own kind in here.
Green seahorse: Neigh?
Jenkins: So what if he's a little white? Don't discriminate.
(Jenkins opens the horse stable and the white horse gallops inside)
Other green seahorse: Neigh?!
Green seahorse 3: NEIGH!
(The third green seahorse kicks the white seahorse out of the stable, hitting Jenkins right into his stomach. Jenkins pulls the white horse out of his stomach and puts him back on the ground)
Jenkins: Well then. I think I'll just keep you in the house for now.
(Cut to the two of them in rocking chairs. Total silence. The two look at each other and then away from each other)
Jenkins: Soooo… what do you do for a living?
(The white horse lets out a confused neigh)
Jenkins: So that's how you're gonna treat me huh? I see.
(More silence)
Jenkins: Y'know, I've never even given you a name yet. But I don't even know what species you are.
(The white horse neighs)
Jenkins: Well there is this endangered species I've been hearing about lately. In honor a that, I think I'm naming you after it. What was it called again? Bargibant-something. (snaps finger) That's it! I'm calling you Bargibant!
Bargibant: (affirming neigh)
Jenkins: Ha! Man, I'm good.
(Just then, Jenkins gets a phone call)
Jenkins: Yellow?
???: Yes, this is the SLF, Sea Life Fund for Nature. Is this… George Wallace Jenkins?
Jenkins: Yes, that is my full name.
???: Well, it appears you are holding an endangered seahorse species captive in your own home.
Jenkins: I am?
???: Yes, we’re right outside your home right now.
(Jenkins looks outside to see a van with the SLF logo on it)
Jenkins: So you are. And why do you want to take my new friend away from me?
???: Sir, this is an endangered species. It’s best that you let the experts handle him from now on.
Jenkins: No! I won’t let you take him away from me!
???: You kinda have to. It’s the law.
Jenkins: No it ain’t! And you’re not catching my horse under any-
(The unknown person gets out of the van and starts approaching the white horse)
Jenkins: Don’t do anything to Bargibant!
???: Bargibant, eh? Clever name, but we’re still taking him to a sanctuary of our own.
Jenkins: You- I- uh… (sighs) Fine, take him. But can I at least see him from time to time?
???: Of course. Just sign here and here. 
(The unknown person hands Jenkins a contract form, and he promptly signs it)
???: Thank you for your cooperation. We hope to see you again soon. Bye-bye.
(The unknown person hops back into the van and drives off)
Jenkins: Well, Jenkins, you did the right thing. Hopefully Bargibant mates with another Bargibant and makes more Bargibants. Heheh, I crack myself up.
(Jenkins isn’t paying attention and hits his knee on the steps to his house)
Jenkins: MOTHER- (dolphin chirp)
(The episode abruptly ends)
