Dialogue
[edit]- Karen: (enraged at Plankton for destroying the restaurant makeover she worked so hard on; her body sparks red electricity and her monitor overheats) Plankton...! You know what your problem is?! (but Plankton simply ignores her and fiddles around on his iPhone like a spoiled child ignoring his/her parents) Are you even listening to me?!
- Plankton: Of course, I'm listening. I'd love some coffee. [Karen roars in anger and frustration] Five creams, nine sugars, and, uh, stir it clockwise.
- Karen: (growls as she reaches her boiling point) You're such a JERK! (her angry statement gets Plankton's attention; she opens her circuitry) I'm gonna do something I should have done a long time ago!
- Plankton: (gasps and drops his iPhone) No, Karen! Don't! Can we talk about this?
- Karen: I'm done talking!
- Plankton: Karen, please, don't do this! We don't know the consequences!
- Karen: I DON'T CARE!!! [kicks Plankton out and sends him flying across the street]
- Mother: (to her daughter) Don't swing your purse like that, honey. Swing your purse like this! (whooping while swinging her purse and knocking Plankton backwards)
- SpongeBob: Hi, Plank- (gets hit in the face by Plankton) Whoa! (they swing around the restaurant and fall to the ground; Plankton pops out from the middle of SpongeBob's face) Hi again! (pulls Plankton out and chuckles, but he's suddenly getting pulled upwards by some magnetic force) Oh, what's happening?
- Plankton: Huh?
- SpongeBob: Whoa! (struggles to hold himself down, but his spatula gets pulled away) Nooo! Spatty! (his spatula attaches itself to the Chum Bucket)
- (The Chum Bucket suddenly glows green and lifts itself up from the ground and into the sky.)
- Plankton: What?! She magnetized the Chum Bucket?!
- Karen: (still enraged) Plankton! (jumps out through the doors, scaring SpongeBob and Plankton) OUR EVIL ALLIANCE IS THROUGH!!
- (Suddenly, Karen's bitterness, hurt, and anger she felt from the neglect and ingratitude she endured from Plankton for many years began to consume her. She undergoes a wild transformation with red sparks of electricity electrocuting her body. She grows larger wheels, and her hands turn into two blasters.)
- Plankton: (horrified at Karen's transformation) Holy mama pajama!
- (She then laughs maniacally before her arms, now larger and bulkier, and blasters go up onto both sides of her monitor. Then, her mainstream forms one head.)
- SpongeBob: Whoa... (two more heads appear from her mainstream) Whoa!
- (Her mainstream closes and three faces form on each head, growling menacingly at Plankton and SpongeBob.)
- Plankton: (surprised) You've got three heads?!
- Super Snarky Karen: Aww, the widdle green man can count! (scoffs) Let me introduce myself. I'm Super Snarky Karen. And this...
- Super Smart Karen: Is Super Smart Karen. And this...
- Super Evil Karen: Is Super Evil Karen!
- Plankton: (jokingly) Super, super, super! Where'd you get those names? The supermarket? (chuckles) Supermarket.
- Super Evil Karen: Let's blast him! Say "goodbye"! (her screen roars like a lion)
- Super Snarky Karen: Hold on, Evil! There are steps to be taken for world domination.
- Plankton: World domination? That's my thing!
- Super Snarky Karen: Not anymore, Green Bean! We're gonna do what you could never do.
- Plankton: W-What do you mean?
- Super Snarky Karen: You might wanna take notes during this song.
- Plankton: Song? When did you have time to write a song?
- Plankton: Uh-huh, we're here. Good old BSU.
- SpongeBob: (gasps) BS me? Plankton, language!
- Plankton: No, you moron. (turns SpongeBob around) Bikini State University.
- SpongeBob: Wait a minute. I thought we were working towards getting you back together with old Karen. But you made a new Karen?
- Plankton: That's right! I built this ultimate Karen to destroy the old Karen and get that secret formula! (giggles)
- SpongeBob: Wait, but what about Bikini Bottom?
- Plankton: I don't care about Bikini Bottom.
- SpongeBob: Huh?
- Plankton: (grunts as he hops back on top of the New Karen robot) Follow that battle station!
- New Karen: Follow that battle station!
- Plankton: No, no, no! What are you doing?!
- Smart Karen: It is only logical, since you made New Karen from Old Karen parts...
- All the Karens: We are all Karen!
- Snarky Karen: (cackles) We're gonna be stronger than ever, thanks to you!
- [Hydra Karen and New Karen fuse together to become one massive destruction robot.]
- Plankton: Once again, it's time to run!
- SpongeBob: (gasps) Bikini Bottom. (the entire town is reduced to a barren wasteland) Gone. It's all gone. Our homes, our lives. Everything.
- Plankton: Yeah, she really messed up the old place.
- SpongeBob: Plankton, you caused this. You... you... you lied to me. You were never interested in getting back with Karen. And now look what's happened. You did this! You! This is all your fault!
- Plankton: (in denial) No, it's not. (turns away from SpongeBob)
- SpongeBob: (appears as a psychiatrist one more time and writes down in his notebook; speaks in Austrian accent) Plankton, my analysis is complete. An overthrown sense of self-impertinence, pre-oscillation with fantasies of power, disregarding for others, instability to handle criticism, cycle-delusion, und borderline physicality. (removes his psychiatrist look) Let me put this simply. Mr. Krabs was right. (Plankton looks back at SpongeBob, his grumpy expression softened) You're just a pitiful, pathetic (turns his notebook to reveal the word, "jerk!" on it) jerk! (throws away the notebook and turns around in sadness) I'll leave now. I'm going to be with my real friends. (runs off crying)
- Plankton: Wait, SpongeBob! SpongeBob? Don't leave me alone! Ugh. (looks at the notebook; whimpers) Maybe the kid's right. Maybe I am a jerk.
- Sandy: Plankton! What in tarnation did you do to our friend Karen?
- Pearl: Yeah, why is she so angry?
- Mrs. Puff: And why does she have four heads?
- Plankton: SpongeBob, help me! Back me up!
- SpongeBob: Why don't you help yourself to some of this stuff? I love it!
- Sandy: It is your fault Karen turned into a monster!
- Pearl: I bet you never even loved her!
- Plankton: That's not true! (the Gal Pals glare at him, angrily) SpongeBob, psychoanalyze me! They gotta hear this!
- Pearl: We see Karen for coffee seven days a week, and she complains about you every time.
- Sandy: So, what really happened tonight? (hypnotizes Plankton with SpongeBob's watch)
- Plankton: (gets hypnotized one last time) I had just finished chasing everyone out of the Chum Bucket with a flamethrower when... (we go to the moment where the events of the entire movie began) Karen, please, don't do this! We don't know the consequences!
- Karen: I DON'T CARE!! (removes her empathy chip from her circuitry)
- Plankton: No, no, no! (Karen throws away her empathy chip) Not the empathy chip! Please, put it back! Take out the snarky chip! I hate that one! (gets kicked out of the Chum Bucket in the flashback)
- Sandy: What?! She removed her empathy chip?!
- Gal Pals: (scream in terror)
- Mrs. Puff: Without that chip, she can't feel anything for anyone.
- Pearl: No wonder our Gal Pal isn't herself.
- SpongeBob: (comes out of the coffee machine and reveals that he had the empathy chip the whole time) Oh, so that's what this is. I thought it was a mint. (laughs)
- Gal Pals: (facepalm and groan in frustration)
- Plankton: Ah-ha! (takes the chip) Give me that! All I have to do is put this chip back inside Karen, and everything goes back to normal!
- Sandy: (takes the chip from Plankton, making him fall into a cup of coffee) Forget the chip! Karen wasn't happy with the way things were. If you love her like you say you do, apologize!
- Mrs. Puff: Can you do that? Can you just say you're sorry?
- Plankton: Of course I can! (SpongeBob takes the coffee and sips down some more; Plankton falls out) Ah! (clears throat) I'm sh-sh-sh... Ah... (clears throat) I'm sha-rah. Hmm? I'm sha-sha...
- Pearl: (annoyed) Oh, he's hopeless. If anyone needs an empathy chip, it's him.
- Plankton: Almost got it.
- Sandy: (gets an idea) That there's a dandy idea, Pearl!
- Plankton: Wha-?!
- Sandy: (grabs Plankton and opens his head) Brace yourself, partner! Here come the feels! (installs the empathy chip in Plankton's brain, much to his agony, and then puts him down)
- Plankton: I don't feel anything.
- Gal Pals: (groan in annoyance)
- Plankton: (feels different) Oh, now I do... (smiles goofily and flies towards a 2D fantasy)
- (Plankton, trying to better himself, has found Karen in her command central.)
- Plankton: There you are, my love! I've come to apologize.
- Karen: (clearly upset to see him) Oh. It's you.
- Plankton: Well, hello! Now give me a big, sloppy kiss and let's tango!
- (Karen, not buying it, simply pulls a lever which has a spiked boot on the end. Plankton, tango dancing on his own, simply avoids getting stomped on at every turn).
- Karen: Stand still, twinkle toes! How can I stomp you when you're jitterbugging all over the floor?!
- Plankton: And I wouldn't blame you if you did, my dear. Because I can feel your pain now. Sandy put your empathy chip into my brain!
- Karen: (sarcastically) Oh, I see! So, all this emotion is just the empathy chip talking!
- Plankton: No, it's not! Well at first it was, except...
- (Plankton cartoonishly opens his head, like a battery with a pained groan, he pulls the chip out of his head, revealing that it's completely fried)
- Plankton: ...This thing burned out on the way up here from an overload of feels.
- Karen: You shouldn't have come back, Sheldon. Frankly, I'm surprised you made it this far. Now, run along, little copepod. I have to get back to my world domination.
- Plankton: But that was our plan, Karen. I'm so sorry for not listening to you all these years. (throws away the empathy chip) But from now on, I want us to do everything together!
- Karen: (sighs) It's too late. You can drop the lovey-dovey act. (flicks a switch, a giant safe rise from a mechanical door) I've got what you really want right here. (opens the safe revealing...) The Krabby Patty secret formula.
- Plankton: (gasps)
- Karen: (solemnly gives it to him) Take it and go.
- (Plankton seemingly loses his empathy, grinning maniacally)
- Plankton: After all these years! (laughs) Yes! Finally! The thing that's gonna help me take over the world...
- (Plankton smashes the bottle containing the formula, but unbelievably, instead of reading it, he kicks it aside. Karen is completely shocked. Plankton had not lost his empathy after all... he finishes what he was saying.)
- Plankton: ...was right there in front of me the entire time. The secret formula... was you.
- (Karen is completely silent, unable comprehend for a second what he just said. He was being completely genuine. It's the first moment she's been acknowledged in a long time. Her heart melts completely)
- Karen: (emotional) Me? So... you really do feel my pain?
- Plankton: Yes. And that's not all. I really do love you, Karen. Between the two of us, you're the real evil genius.
- (Karen begins to cry, moved by Plankton's words. It's true. He really does love her after all these years.)
- Plankton: What a bunch of morons.
- Karen: Yeah, but they're our morons.
- Plankton: Aww! (hugs Karen, then looks at the camera) You again? The movie's over. Pack it up. (the camera zooms back) Keep going. Keep going! (the camera zooms back even further until the Bikini Bottom sign lands upside down) Keep going! Eh, good enough.
