* [We see Squidward sobbing at the cash register.]
* Squidward: [Squidward is crying] May I take your order?
* Tom: I'll take the- What are you doing? [Squidward puts his head in Tom's arms to make Tom comfort him.
* Squidward: Busy... sobbing
* SpongeBob: [SpongeBob exits the door] One what are you doing to customer #1 today!
* Tom: [Sarcastic] Oh I just LOVE the business around here!
* SpongeBob: Awwwwwwwwww. Squidward, whats the matter?
* Squidward: SpongeBob, let me take it clear and tell you that for 20 whole years, you have put my life in complete misery! I so wish that you could apologize for everything you did, but its to late for that. Even better, I wish I've never known you, and since we met on May 1ST, 1999, I regret every second of it!
* SpongeBob: ...Never known you... May 1ST 1999... [SpongeBob has a great idea] Squidward! Me and Patrick can time travel to 1999 to let my young self know that it was a bad idea working at the Krusty Krab!
* Squidward: You will seriously do that... for... for... for me?
* SpongeBob: Of course Squidward, that's what best friends do! But it will cost me my job of working at my favorite place in the entire world, but it'll be all worth it.
* Squidward: Oh boy oh boy oh boy
* [Cuts to Sandy's treedome with the time machine ready.]
* SpongeBob: Are you ready Patrick?
* Patrick: Oh yeah I'm ready buddy!
* Sandy: Now, remember fellas, you could screw up time if you do this.
* SpongeBob: Oh, that's OK.
* [They enter the time machine]
* The Time Machine: "May 1ST 1999", is that correct?
* SpongeBob: Succeed!
* Patrick: Susseed!
* [The two go to the first episode of the series. We see a coral reef under the sea. The camera zooms to initiate parallax scrolling, which reveals the city of Bikini Bottom. It continues zooming to show a brown rock, a Moai head, and a pineapple, which each contain inhabitants]
* French Narrator: Ah, the sea... so fascinating. So wonderful. Here, we see Bikini Bottom, teeming with life. [Shows from left to right Patrick's, Squidward's, and SpongeBob's houses. Zooms in on SpongeBob's house] Home to one of my favorite creatures, SpongeBob SquarePants. Yes, of course he lives in a pineapple, you silly. [SpongeBob's alarm sounds; he wakes, but is unaffected by the annoying sound, and with a smile turns it off. He climbs from his bed to a ladder leading to his diving board]
* Old SpongeBob: Today's the big day, Gary!
* Gary: Meow.
* Old SpongeBob: [Jumps on the diving board] Look at me, I'm... [Jumps up, and leaves his underwear behind] ...naked!
* New Patrick: [Turns out New SpongeBob and Patrick are watching this out Old SpongeBob's window.] Oh, SpongeBob, is this seriously what you do in your spare time?
* New SpongeBob: I used to, but remember Patrick this is 1999.
* Old SpongeBob: [Continuing the episode] Gotta be in top physical condition for today, Gary.
* Gary: Meow.
* Old SpongeBob: [He goes inside his small gym that has a sign that says, "I Love Pain." Taking deep breaths, he prepares to lift a barbell that is balanced by two lightweight stuffed animals. He sticks out his chest, but almost passes out because he can barely lift it. He drops it, and it makes a 'squeak' noise] I'm ready! [Runs outside] I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready! [Patrick Star's rock tilts upwards with Patrick stuck to its underside]
* Old Patrick: Go, SpongeBob! [Patrick falls] Whoa! [Crash!]
* Old SpongeBob: [Runs down the street to the Krusty Krab] There it is. The finest eating establishment ever established for eating. The Krusty Krab, home of the Krabby Patty. With a 'Help Wanted' sign in the window! For years I've been dreaming of this moment! I'm gonna go in there, march straight to the manager, look 'im straight in the eye, [breaks the fourth wall and looks the audience in the eye] lay it on the line and... I can't do this! [He starts to run home but Patrick stops him] Uh, Patrick!
* Old Patrick: Where do you think you're going?
* Old SpongeBob: I was just...
* Old Patrick: No you're not. You're going to the Krusty Krab and get that job!
* Old SpongeBob: I can't, don't you see? I'm not good enough!
* Old Patrick: Whose first words were "may I take your order"?
* Old SpongeBob: Mine were.
* Old Patrick: Who made a spatula out of toothpicks in wood shop?

* New SpongeBob: The Krusty Krab is dangerous!
* New Patrick: They sell greasy foods, Mr. Krabs kills customers, and chops off their flesh and feed it to hungry customers.
* New SpongeBob: [Whispers to New Patrick] That's a little to far!
* Old Patrick: Oh, OK, then never mind!
* Old SpongeBob: Thanks guy's for letting us know! I've got to tell Squidward the disgusting things!
* New SpongeBob: Oh, Squidward!
* Old SpongeBob: What?
* New SpongeBob: Hold on! [Runs to the Old Krusty Krab]
* Old Squidward: [Cleaning graffiti of himself with the word Loser, sees SpongeBob, and sighs] Oh no, SpongeBob. What could he possibly want? [Squidward looks at the Help Wanted sign and runs inside] Hurry, Mr. Krabs, before it's too late, I gotta tell you.[interrupted by New SpongeBob]
* New SpongeBob: Squidward, come here!
* Old Squidward: Oh, no! [Old Squidward exits The Krusty Krab doors, and New SpongeBob and Patrick trap him into a crate.
* New Patrick: I got him SpongeBob!
* New SpongeBob: Ready, 1, 2, 3![SpongeBob blows a bubble to the crate causing the crate to go above the water. Bubble pops when the crate is above water.]
* Old Squidward: Where am I?
