Dialogue[edit]
- [Water is quickly panned by. The scene moves up to show small islands. The scene continues to pan. "Nickelodeon Movies" pops up from the water. It is covered in seaweed and sea stars. It falls back into the water. The panning stops with a care-like screeching. The scene looks around until the Bikini Bottom island is shown. It is panned into, revealing a vast forest. The scene cuts through branches until it reaches a beach, where a pirate, later revealed to be named, "Burger Beard," has used a dinghy to a beach. Burger Beard's ship can be seen in the distance. Burger Beard finishes dragging the dinghy on the shore. Burger Beard then takes out his map, revealing he is on the opposite side of the island from the three palm trees.]
- Burger Beard: Aha! [He starts chuckling. He lifts the map and turns towards the forest. Later, he is cutting his way through the forest. Soon, he stops and looks at his map. He then sees a sign that reads, "Booby Traps!"] "Booby Traps"?! [He cuts the sign down. He steps on it while continuing on his way. He is also laughing. He passes a skeleton with a tarantula on it. He continues to cont through the forest. He stops when he sees something. He smiles. The scene shows a clear path leading to a Skeleton who is holding a book, sitting on a chair. The scene zooms in to the book and then displays the title of the movie. The scene cuts back to Burger Beard.] Oh. There you are, my lovely. [He starts walking towards the skeleton. He manages avoids the booby traps. He then stops at the skeleton.] What's that? Take the book? I don't mind if I do. [He grabs the book and the skeleton falls over. Burger Beard starts to walk away.] At last, it is mine. Finally, you are mine. [The skeleton then reassembles itself.] All right. Let's do this. Bare Knuckles. [The skeleton gets into a fighting pose] Bring it on, skinny. You don't scare me.
- [The skeleton does a left punch, but Burger Beard avoids it. The skeleton does a right punch, but Burger Beard avoids it. The skeleton does a left punch, but Burger Beard blocks it with the book. The skeleton does a powerful left punch, which sends Burger Beard, who is still holding onto the book, to go soaring into the air. The scene cuts to the ship, where four seagulls are playing Go Fish.]
- Seagull #1: You got any sevens?
- Seagull #2: Go fish.
- [Burger Beard lands on the ship, which scares the seagulls away. He then stands up.]
- Burger Beard: Is that all you got?! [He then kisses the book. He tucks it under his armpit and grabs a rope. He swings to the wheel, pulls up the anchor, and opens the sail. The ship starts moving. It then cuts to him standing in the crow's nest. He is looking through his sextant. He then jumps onto the rim of the crow's next and jumps off. He lands back at the wheel. He pushes a button on the wheel that reads, "Auto Pirate." He then rubs his hands together and sits down. He takes the book and opens to the first page. On the back side of the cover, there is a library card with the names of previous owners.] Man, this is way overdue. [Burger Beard flips to the next page. On the left page, there is a drawn image of a wide shot of Bikini Bottom. below the image, words read, "Once upon a time..." On the right page, there is a dawn image of the Bikini Bottom sign. Above the image, words read, "Under the sea there was a little town called Bikini Bottom." The scene then zooms into the image of Bikini Bottom.] Once upon a time, under the sea, there was a little town called, [The scene fades to a normal image of a wide shot of Bikini Bottom] "Bikini Bottom." [The scene pans in.] In this town, there was a place called, [The scene cuts to the Krusty Krab.] "The Krusty Krab," where folks would come to eat a thing called, [A CGI Krabby Patty is shown.] "the Krabby Patty." Every [The scene cuts to the Kitchen of The Krusty Krab. The grill, counter next to the grill, and fryer are shown. Here, seven Krabby Patties are being grilled and fries are being cooked.] greasy spoon has a [The scene shows a different angle of the same scene, where the fryer is the focus of the shot.] fry cook, and the one [The scene shows a counter with a dispenser of ketchup, a stack of tomato slices, two tomatoes, a cut tomato with a slice, a jar of pickles, a head of lettuce with a few pieces cut off, a stack of onion slices, a pile of puns, a bag of potatoes, two whole onions, and a cut onion.] who worked here [The scene cuts to a medium shot of the kitchen. A spatula starts to descend into the shot.] was named, [A yellow sponge pops in and his Krusty Krab hat and spatula fall to his head and hand, respectively.] "SpongeBob SquarePants."
- Seagull Crew: Oh... [The scene cuts back to Burger Beard, where the seagulls are returning to the ship. The SpongeBob SquarePants Theme Song starts playing.] ...who lives in a pineapple under [The scene cuts to one seagull on a railing.] the sea? [Another seagull appears with a Melodeon, which scares the other seagull off.] SpongeBob [The scene cuts to another railing, where one seagulls is walking on it. While, the other, later revealed to be named, "Kyle," is standing on a box next to the railing] SquarePants! Absorbent [The scene cuts to a shot, where Burger Beard and the last three seagulls shown appear.] and yellow--
- Burger Beard: [as seagulls sing, "porous is he"] Hold it. Just hold it.
- Seagull Crew: SpongeBob SquarePants! [A seagull, doing The Robot dance is shown. He then starts doing the Wave with a few other seagulls] If nautical nonsense be something [The Wave reaches its end when the last bird to do it knocks a seagull of the railing.] you wish. SpongeBob SquarePants! [Another Seagull is shown.] Then drop on the deck and [The seagull starts doing the worm as another seagull flies by.] flop like a fish. [A seagull on a box is shown] Sponge... [Another seagull lands on the first seagull] ...Bob Square... [Another Seagull lands on the second seagull.] ...Pants! [Another seagull lands on the third seagull. The scene cuts back to the shot of Burger Beard and the seagulls.] SpongeBob Square...
- Burger Beard: [As the seagulls sing, "...Pants!"] Stop! [The scene cuts to the melodeon seagull, who stops playing. It then cuts to Kyle and the seagull on the railing, who look sad. It then cuts back to Burger Beard.] There's only one thing worse than talking birds, and that would be... Singing Birds!
- [The scene returns to the shot with Kyle and the other seagull.]
- Mr. Krabs: The Krabby Patty is what ties us all together! Without the secret formula, there will be a complete breakdown of social order! A war of all against all! Dark times ahead! Dark times indeed!
- Squidward: Seriously? Aren't you overreacting a bit?
- [The scene shifts to Mr. Krabs, Squidward and the Bikini Bottom citizens in their apocalyptic forms and the Bottomites run off around the ruins of Bikini Bottom]

- Patrick: SpongeBob, you will not believe the size of the ice creams there. I wonder what other giant snacks they have. [gasps] Cotton candy?!
- [He and Patrick jump on the Cotton Candy machine]
- SpongeBob: Wow.
- Sandy: If you ate all of that, you would have enough energy to run around the whole world.
- [SpongeBob and Patrick jump into the Cotton Candy machine and they both twirl around in it as cotton candy forms around them, they soon come to a stop and suck all the cotton candy around them off. The pair start going hyper and begin laughing as they seemly run all over the world although it turns out that they are actually standing in front of a postcard stand with Sandy taking one of the cards out from its rack]
- Squidward: [blocking his head with his hands] Ahh! When is the sugar gonna wear off? [SpongeBob and Patrick fall over on their frontsides]
- SpongeBob: Sour Note?
- [Squidward, a.k.a. Sour Note, takes out his clarinet and extends it. He took a big deep breath and then blows his clarinet, playing horrible music, causing Burger Beard's customers to cover their ears and run away]
- Kyle: My tiny little eardrums!
- Burger-Beard: [as customers run away] Hey, hey, wait! Hold on! Hold on! Wait! Wait! Customers! Wait, please! [angered, he walks toward SpongeBob and the others]
- SpongeBob: Mr. Superawesomeness, take him down.
- [Patrick, a.k.a. Mr. Superawesomeness, scrunches his face and ice cream cones are yanked from beachgoers. In a dramatic gesture, he grabs the cones and holds them up. As the sky darkens and lightning strikes, Burger Beard holds up a pink umbrella. Suddenly, he smiles and licks them]
- Patrick: Mmmmmmm! [giggles]
- SpongeBob: Uhh, Maybe we should've picked a better superpower for you, Patrick.
- SpongeBob: Alright, here comes the pain!
- Burger-Beard: Hah! [opens a hatch and many cannons came out of the front hatch]
- SpongeBob: Ah!
- [Burger-Beard fires a cannon ball at SpongeBob, but it goes through his bubble wand and into a bubble. The pirate fires more cannon balls with SpongeBob jumping repeatedly and getting them in many bubbles]

- [Back with Burger-Beard and the seagulls]
- Burger-Beard: And so, it would seem that our heroes have accomplished all they had set out to do.

- [Burger-Beard climbs inside his ship and Plankton growls and he throws the ship into the air, catches it and spins it on his finger like a basketball and he pokes his head into a porthole of the ship]

- [He drops the pirate ship. It crashes into the street and Burger-Beard climbs out and runs away]
- SpongeBob: He's getting away!
- Plankton: [he jumps over to the ship] Ready for a Plank-Ton of bubbles?
- [Invincibubble smiles at the idea. Plank-Ton picks him up by SpongeBob's legs, takes a deep breath and blows into SpongeBob's bubble wand creating lots of bubbles coming after Burger Beard. The bubbles clear to show Plankton holding Burger-Beard in his fingers and he tries to run]
- Plankton: The formula, please.
- Burger Beard: Come on. Team up with me. We'll be rich and powerful! Huh?
