"So you got a SpongeBob SquarePants movie for me?" Producer asked his colleague as the camera showed a fish in a suit.

"Yessir I do, so we open up to a shot a pirate ship and the crew find a treasure chest." Screenwriter explains as he was a flounder in a jacket and shirt.

"Is it gold or jewels?"

"No it's tickets to the SpongeBob movie."

"So this is a movie inside a movie?"

"Yeah yeah yeah."

"How did the tickets get into a treasure chest?"

"Idunnooooo."

"Fair enough."

"And the movie inside the movie starts off with a crowd of people outside the Krusty Krab. There's police blockades, helicopters, and panic." Screenwriter explains.

"Oh man what's the scandal here?"

"A customer orders a krabby patty with cheese, but when they took a bite... no cheese!"

"No cheese! This IS a crisis!"

"Yeah so the manager has to do this way more dramatic than it needs to be administration of cheese to the customer's krabby patty."

"Amazing, so Mr. Krabs fixes the order?" Producer asked.

"No SpongeBob SquarePants."

"Isn't he a fry cook?"

"Yeah cuz you see this is opening is a big dream sequence that SpongeBob has before the grand opening of the new restaurant that Krabs owns."

"What's the restaurant?"

"The Krusty Krab 2."

"What?"

"Yeah Mr. Krabs opened up a second Krusty Krab that looks exactly like the original and is right next door." Screenwriter explains.

"Why?"

"Money."

"Well I do like money, but wouldn't it cost more money to staff and maintain two identical restaurants. And given the numerous health code violations of the original and he only has two employees plus he's more cheap than every Hollywood producer I've met, how can he make enough money to keep it steady?"

"Oh please don't think too much about this!" Screenwriter begged.

"Oh okay."

"So then Mr. Krabs announces the new manager of the new restaurant."

"Oh is it gonna be a new character that's really business oriented and is dedicated his life to the sad and dreary fast food industry." Producer guessed.

"Well partially, it's actually Squidward Tentacles." Screenwriter stated.

"Of course, figured Krabs was too cheap to hire another employee."

"Yeah and so SpongeBob goes to a deep depression and downs his sorrows at this children's place called Goofy Goober's, and he and Patrick just go nuts on these Goober sunrise sundaes and act all tipsy afterwards."

"ooooh alcoholic ice cream is tight!"

"No there's no alcohol it's a kids movie." Screenwriter shook his head.

"But we're gonna imply that if the main characters act all tipsy right?"

"I... I guess."

"So is Plankton gonna have an evil plan like in the cartoon?"

"You know it, it's his lost diabolical plan ever made. Plan Z."

"Why wait till now to enact Plan Z?" Producer asked.

Screenwriter answered "Cause this is when the movie happens."

"Oh yeah so what's this Plan Z?"

"Well first off he sneaks into the castle of King Neptune and frame Mr. Krabs for it."

"How does Plankton know where that is?"

"Unclear."

"And what's King Neptune like?"

"He gives unreasonable punishments to his servants for doing their jobs."

"Oh."

"Yeah and so Neptune is about to kill Krabs but then he's convinced to give SpongeBob a chance to go get his crown back in 6 days while Krabs is frozen in place. During which Plankton waltzes in takes the krabby patty formula for himself."

"Oh wow wow wow... wow."

"Also Plankton has these bucket helmets that turn everyone that wears them into mindless slaves."

"Oh no."

"Yeah and he sends an assassin after the heroes."

"Why didn't he do any of this before in the show?"

"Because."

"That works."

"And SpongeBob and Patrick go on a road trip to Shell City to get the crown back, encountering sassy hillbillies, bikers, monsters and a giant cyclops that's actually a human in an old fashioned diving suit that takes them to his lair. And SpongeBob and Patrick are gonna be out under a lamp and die."

"Oh my god! It's gonna be hard to make a happy ending to the movie if the main characters are dead." Producer said.

"Actually it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah before they die they find out that Shell City is actually the gift shop that they've be brought to and they shed a tear that becomes a heart before it moves into the electrical outlet and set off the sprinkler systems."

"Oh very plot productive tears."

"Yeah and the sprinklers also bring back all the dead fish plotted around the shop and they attack the cyclops allowing the heroes to escape."

"Amazing."

"But then they lose their only way back."

"Oh how are they gonna get back now? They spent like 6 days to even get to Shell City, how are they gonna make it back on time?"

"Well I was thinking a famous person makes a cameo and helps them."

"Who did you have in mind?"

"I was thinking maybe David Hasselhoff and he can swim them back to Bikini Bottom."

"Oh wow wow wow... wow."

"And so they make it back right as Neptune is about to execute Krabs."

"Well at least it's all over."

"But then Plankton puts a giant bucket helmet on King Neptune."

"Oh dear, how are they gonna get out of this situation?"

"Well SpongeBob accepts that he acts like a kid and he sings this over the top rock song that breaks all the helmets."

"Sure that may as well happen."

"And so SpongeBob is made manager of the Krusty Krab 2 and the movie's over."

"Well that was a fun movie."

"Yeah this seems like the perfect end to a series that gave us many great moments and characters."

"It sure is, unless it goes so well we make more episodes."

"What?"

"And another couple movies, plus a couple spin offs."

"But didn't we didn't we promise the creator that we'd never make a spin-off?"

Patrick Star Show and Camp Koral in production, breaking promise to Stephen Hillenburg
