Pizza Delivery (SpongeBob SquarePants)

"**Pizza Delivery**" is a *SpongeBob SquarePants* episode from Season 1. In this episode, SpongeBob and Squidward deliver a pizza.

## Plot

It is closing time at the Krusty Krab, and Squidward answers a last-minute phone call from a customer. Just as he is about to tell the customer the restaurant is closed, Mr. Krabs suddenly appears and snatches the phone from Squidward's hands. The customer tells Mr. Krabs that he wants to order a pizza and have it delivered, an order Mr. Krabs happily accepts knowing he could get extra money. Squidward protests this by saying the restaurant doesn't serve pizza nor do they deliver, but Mr. Krabs spontaneously makes a pizza out of Krabby Patties and forces Squidward and SpongeBob to deliver it.

After SpongeBob does a vehicle inspection on a boatmobile, Squidward tells him to drive. However, SpongeBob says that he is still in boating school, but Squidward does not want to drive either. He says the customer is around the corner and advises SpongeBob to do what he does in school. As expected, SpongeBob panics when he tries to shift the boat into reverse and ends up "backing up" for miles and miles until the boat runs out of gas in the middle of a big desert. Squidward complains about the situation and kicks the boat out of frustration after SpongeBob mentions the pizza is getting cold. This causes the boat to suddenly drive off back to the Krusty Krab, leaving the two stranded and forced to continue their delivery on foot.

Throughout the journey, the duo encounters numerous mishaps: first, SpongeBob tries a pioneer trick he claims to have seen in a movie where he listens to the ground and hears a truck coming. When SpongeBob tries to get the driver's attention by doing a ridiculous dance in the middle of the road, the driver speeds up and Squidward pushes SpongeBob out of the way so he doesn't get mowed down. Later, the pizza box gets caught in the wind. Squidward tells SpongeBob to let go of the pizza until they see a tornado. He says to hang on to the pizza, which saves their lives after SpongeBob turns it into a parachute.

Upon landing on solid ground, Squidward panics when he can't find the road. SpongeBob says that moss points towards civilization and that they should go in the direction at which the moss is pointing. Squidward goes in the other direction, unaware that they almost found a city.

They become tired and hungry, so SpongeBob suggests ridiculous things to eat. Squidward wants the pizza instead. SpongeBob runs away from Squidward. Squidward pauses for a moment so that when SpongeBob crashes into Squidward, he tries to grab it. But SpongeBob notices a giant rock that he claims the pioneers drove for miles. Squidward is incredulous at this claim and tries to tell SpongeBob to forget about the pioneers, saying that there are none left because of their unusual habits and traveling methods. However, he quickly changes his mind after SpongeBob runs him over with the rock and he chases after him for a ride out of the desert. With the giant rock, they drive it to the customer's house.

Unfortunately, their journey does not pay off well. The customer is at first happy to get his pizza, but then frowns for a second and asks where's his drink, Diet Dr. Kelp, he claims he had ordered. A confused SpongeBob checks the order, which says that the customer did not ask for a drink (though it's somewhat implied that Mr. Krabs either hung up the phone before the customer could finish his order or didn't hear him correctly). The customer becomes upset that he didn't get his drink, and, filled with anger, yells at SpongeBob and refuses to take the pizza or pay for it before throwing it at SpongeBob's face and rudely slamming the door in his face.

SpongeBob walks over to Squidward, who tries to console him, but his attempt ends in vain, and Spongebob collapses to the ground crying (while also absorbing his tears). Appalled at how the customer treated SpongeBob and will not pay for the pizza all because he didn't get his drink (making the long journey and the ridiculous obstacles the duo went through a complete waste of time), Squidward furiously confronts the rude customer and brutally throws the pizza into his face as revenge, claiming it to be "on the house."

Squidward then cheers up SpongeBob by saying that the customer took the pizza and "ate the whole thing in one bite." The episode ends as Squidward asks to be taken home, but SpongeBob instead drives them back to the Krusty Krab, which is comically revealed to be right across the street, much to Squidward's dismay.
