## Trainscript

[opens at Chum Bucket. Plankton wakes up from bed.]

Karen: Good morning, honey. Are you ready to make another Krabby Patty theft attempt?

Plankton: Don’t patronize me, my computer wife. Can’t you see I’m
 miserable? I wish I could just relive the old days where I was living
with my parents. [picks up frame with picture of him with his parents
from when he was a kid. Frame drops and breaks.] Oh no! Wait a minute
what’s this? [picks up picture and unfolds it revealing another
plankton.] Wait a minute, who’s that?

Karen: I don’t know, but he looks a lot like you.

Plankton: Could he be my long lost brother? I better call my parents about this. [grabs phone and dials. Someone picks up.]

Woman On Phone: Hello?

Plankton: Mom, mom, mom!

Plankton’s Mom: Howdy, Sheldon. Surprised to see you calling me.

Plankton: Mom, do I have a brother?

Plankton’s Mom: What?! Where did you hear that?

Plankton: Well, on one of the family portraits, I saw a plankton that looked exactly like me.

Plankton’s Mom: Well, it’s true. Ya see, he was really gifted at
the young age and when he was 13 and when you were 5, he got accepted in
 some fancy college in Ukulele Bottom and he is now living there as a
millionaire.

Plankton: So, what’s his name?

Plankton’s Mom: His name is Cooper Plankton.

Plankton: Thanks, mom. Bye. [puts down phone] Karen, do you know what this means?

Karen: That your brother abandoned you?

Plankton: No, not that. He is rich. Think, honey. If we find this
 guy, we can stop trying to steal the formula and live off of him. Then
we can retire in luxury and wealth.

Karen: Taking advantage of your relatives, how low are you?

Plankton: I’m just that low, Karen. [takes out phone book.] Hmm,
Cooper Plankton, aha! There it is. [dials phone and someone picks up.]

Man: Hello.

Plankton: Cooper Plankton?

Cooper: Yes? Who is this?

Plankton: It’s me, Sheldon Plankton, your brother.

Cooper: Brother?! Oh my god, it’s been years!

Plankton: I know and I was thinking of staying with you for a few years and just hanging out for all the time we missed.

Cooper: That would be great!

Plankton: Okay, your address is on the phone book so I’ll be there in 2 hours.

Cooper: Okay!

Plankton: See you then. [hangs up phone.]

Karen: How do you expect to be in Ukulele Bottom in 2 hours when we don’t even have a car or enough money for a bus?

Plankton: Karen, baby, I have already planned that out. [takes out shrink ray and aims it at Karen.]

Karen: Plankton, what are you going to do?!

Plankton: You’ll see. [shrinks Karen.] There, now you’re my size!

Karen: Plankton, how is that going to help?!

Plankton: I’ll explain later. For now, follow me. [scene cuts to a Plankton and Karen at a bus station.]

Karen: Plankton, I already told you that we don’t have enough money for a bus and unshrink me!

Plankton: Just wait. I shrinked you for a reason now follow me.
[Plankton and Karen walk in the bus without paying.] See? They didn’t
see us. Being small has it’s perks. Now, we have to wait for 2 hours and
 we’re there! [a timecard comes on the screen saying 2 hours later.
Scene cuts to the bus stopping.] We’re here! Now, hmm his house should
be somewhere here according to this. Aha! There it is!

Karen: Plankton, aren’t you forgetting something?

Plankton: What? Oh, yeah. [takes out shrink ray and changes setting to unshrink and unshrinks Karen.]

Karen: There, that’s better.

Plankton: Now, let’s go. [walks to Cooper’s house and rings doorbell. Door opens and a Cooper comes out.]

Cooper: Sheldon?

Plankton: Cooper?

Cooper: Sheldon!

Plankton: Cooper!

Cooper: Sheldon!

Plankton: Cooper!

Karen: Sheldon, Cooper, Sheldon, Cooper, Sheldon, Cooper, we get it!

Cooper: Well, come in then.

Plankton: Wow. This is a great house.

Cooper: Thanks. This is where the kitchen is. [shows kitchen.]

Plankton: Wow. This is great.

Female Plankton: Hello, Cooper!

Cooper: Hello, Susan!

Plankton: His wife is not a computer and they are nice to each other.

Cooper: Susan, can you get me my food.

Susan: Here you go, Cooper.

Cooper: Thanks, honey.

Plankton: He asks nicely for his food and she gives it to him? I
should try. Cooper, give me your food or perish in eternal doom. [Cooper
 gives food.] You didn’t attack me.

Cooper: Of course not. You’re my brother. Even if you are rude, I accept you.

Plankton: R-really?

Cooper: Of course you are.

Plankton: I’ve never felt like this before.

Cooper: It’s called love, Sheldon.

Plankton: Love?

Cooper: Love. [two kids run into the kitchen.]

Kids: Hi, daddy!

Cooper: Hi, Bob, hi, Billy.

Plankton: You have kids?

Cooper: Yes, I do. Kids, say hi to your uncle, Sheldon.

Bob: Hi uncle Sheldon.

Billy: Hi, uncle Sheldon.

Plankton: Hi. Wow, Karen and I haven’t made kids ever. [scene cuts to night time. Everyone is going to sleep.]

Cooper: Sheldon, Karen, you can sleep in the bed.

Plankton: But where will you sleep?

Cooper: I’ll sleep on the ground. It doesn’t matter. We’re family.

Plankton: Family. [a tear falls from his cheek. Goes to sleep and
 all of a sudden, Bob and Billy start crying.] You stupid kids, you
better shut…

Cooper: It’s okay, kids. Don’t cry. [kisses kids. Everyone goes back to bed.]

Plankton: So that's what love is. [goes back to bed. Scene cuts to morning. Plankton and Karen are in the bedroom talking.]

Plankton: Karen, I can’t do this anymore.

Karen: Do what?

Plankton: I can’t do this to my brother. [Cooper comes in.]

Cooper: Hi, brother!

Karen: It was your idea to take advantage of your brother’s wealth.

Cooper: What?!

Plankton: Cooper, it’s not what it sounds like.

Cooper: You were using me the whole time?!

Plankton: No, it’s not like that.

Cooper: Get out of here. As long as I know, I have no brother!
[Plankton and Karen go to the bus. A timecard saying 2 hours later
comes. Plankton and Karen enter the Chum Bucket.]

Karen: So, how do you feel?

Plankton: Eh, I don’t care about him. Now, I’m going to go to the
 kitchen. I need some privacy. [walks in kitchen and looks at family
picture.] Goodbye, my brother. [a tear falls down his cheek.]
