SpongeBobHey, I'm getting mine next.

You've shown the most spectacular improvement of any student I've ever seen. What's your secret? A little radio in your head? [she and SpongeBob laugh; cuts to Patrick at the pineapple also laughing] Oh, and under that hat is some kind of, uhh, antenna? [they laugh again] And some guy miles away from here is giving you all the answers? [the laughing sequence plays a third time] Oh, yes...But that would be cheating.
Cheating! [laughs]
SpongeBobI'm cheating. Mrs. Puff.
Yes, my star pupil?
SpongeBobI think I'm cheating.
[Near the end of the driving test]
SpongeBobCheating, I'm a cheater! Cheater!
No, no, no! It's quite alright! You can cheat that way! [points towards the finish line]
SpongeBobNo, I'm cheating!
Will you let go of that stupid pizza already?
SpongeBobI can't, it's for the customer!
Who cares about the customer?
SpongeBobI do!
Well, I don't!
SpongeBob[gasps] Squidward!
Give it to me!
SpongeBobNo! We promised it's for the customer!
[calms down] You're right. It's for the customer.
SpongeBobYeah!
Maybe we better check on it, make sure it's okay.
SpongeBobWell?
Just a peek. [opens the box]
SpongeBob[quickly shuts it] Okay, it's fine.
No, I think I saw something. [opens the box] Oh. No. I was wrong. Looks okay. Sure is a fine-looking pizza.
SpongeBobYeah...
What's that? Is that the cheese?
SpongeBobYeah...
And the pepperoni?
SpongeBobYeah...
Ooh, looks good, huh?
SpongeBobWait a second! I know what you're trying to do, Squidward! I'm not letting you eat the pizza!
Give me that pizza!
SpongeBobNo!
Don't make me take it away from you, SpongeBob!
SpongeBobGet away!
[starts chasing SpongeBob] Get back here, SpongeBob! Give me that pizza!
SpongeBobNo!
SpongeBob!
SpongeBobNo!
SpongeBob!
SpongeBobNo!
[Squidward becomes too tired to chase SpongeBob]
SpongeBobHooray, Gary! We're finally huge! [the house shrinks again again and the bed disappears, leaving SpongeBob on the floor]
Meow.
SpongeBobHuh? Wait a minute. [the scene cuts to outside where the nematodes are still drinking SpongeBob's house] Oh no! [runs into the living room. but squeezes through the door as he almost gets stuck. He gets freed as he gets launched into the wall. Gary gets stuck through the door as he slithers in. SpongeBob crashes into the wall, flipping the side table over] Ow. Shellphone! I know, I'll call Squidward. He'll know what to do.
Hello?
SpongeBobSquidward!
Is it time already for you to ruin my day?
SpongeBobSquidward, help me! [his shellphone starts to shrink] My house is shrinking! I woke this morning, I was getting smaller and [high pitched voice] smaller! The walls are closing in on me! Gary is terrified too! [the shellphone is hung up; normal voice] Oh no!
Yep, it is.
SpongeBobAah!
Is it time already to ruin Squid's day? Hey, SpongeBob. Don't start without me.
Tum-ta-dum. Today's the big day, Squidward. Don't wanna be late. [flies into his closet, gets dressed, and goes outside] Gotta hurry! Hold it! Hold everything! [SpongeBob and Patrick stand outside, with bags] I would not want to miss this. The day SpongeBob moves. I can't believe it's really happening.
SpongeBobDon't worry, Squidward. I'll come visit you.
Don't try to cheer me up, SpongeBob. Please.
SpongeBobHere come my parents.
[Patrick begins to cry and the car horn sounds as SpongeBob's parents drive up]
SpongeBob. Hi, honey, we're here.
Come on, SpongeBob, hurry, hurry, son, your mother has dinner waiting.
SpongeBobHi, Mom.
Hello, Mrs. SquarePants! Let me help you with these bags. [picks up the bags and carries them to the car]
SpongeBobJust give me a minute. [he walks back to where his house used to be] I cannot hold onto you any longer, little pebble. [buries it into the ground in the middle of where his house used to be] You hold too many memories. [sheds a tear, which falls from his nose and into the ground where the seed absorbs it, it then starts to glow. Then he shakes Squidward's hand] Well, Squidward, this is goodbye.
Goodbye, SpongeBob, goodbye. [dances and celebrates] Goodbye, SpongeBob. Bye-bye-bye. Goodbye, SpongeBob. Ha-ha. Goodbye, goodbye.
Come on, SpongeBob.
SpongeBobGoodbye, Patrick. Goodbye, Bikini Bottom.
[Patrick holds onto the back of the boat, lifting the front into the air, as he cries]
[still dancing and celebrating] SpongeBob is leaving. He's leaving, he's leaving! La, la, la, la, la, la, la ha ha ha ha! He's leaving, ha ha! SpongeBob is leaving, he's leaving!
[Suddenly, the ground starts shaking. Squidward stops dancing, while SpongeBob, his parents and Patrick stare. The pebble, revealed to be a seed, grows into a giant green stem out of the ground, SpongeBob's house grows from the plant and drops where his old house used to be and on Squidward. The stem then goes back into the ground]
SpongeBobMy house is back! Aww! Good old pineapple! It was exactly where it used to be! [continues praising all of the returned belongings he possessed in his original house] Aww, Squidward, isn't this great? I'm back forever!
Forever?
[The episode ends]
SpongeBobWait a MINUTE! [grabs Bubble Bass' tongue and pulls it out, revealing four pickles underneath] Look! He's been hiding the pickles under his tongue the whole time!
And there's the pickles from last time, too!
And there's my car keys!
And... there's my ride. [runs out of the Krusty Krab]
Three cheers for the return of our master fry cook, SpongeBob! Hip hip...
Hooray!
Hooray.
Hip hip...
Hooray!
Whoop-dee-doo.
Hip hip...
Hooray!
Oh, boy.
SpongeBobAnd three cheers for the fry cook who took my place when I was gone: Squidward! [Squidward smiles] Hip hip...
Boo! [Squidward is shocked and frowns. His frown gets more groopier with each "boo"]
SpongeBobHip hip...
Boo!
[Cut to an outside shot of the Krusty Krab]
SpongeBobHip hip...
Boo!
SpongeBobHip hip...
BOO! YOU STINK!
[SpongeBob is lying on the ground after the class tramples him while running out the door]
SpongeBob, are you okay?
SpongeBobI overdid the speech again, didn't I?
I'm afraid so.
SpongeBobAw, tartar sauce! I guess I won't be needing this. [takes off uniform] I hardly knew you. [frowns and begins to walk away]
Uh, SpongeBob?
SpongeBobYes, Mrs. Puff?
I can at least let you wear it until tomorrow.
SpongeBob[flies back into the uniform with a shout of joy] Thanks, Mrs. Puff!
[to herself] What are the consequences of what I've just done? [sighs as she walks back into her classroom]
SpongeBob[takes a look at a wanted poster] Huh, this guy's not half-bad-looking for a maniac. Wait a minute, Patrick...I'm the maniac.
[Four police cars and several policeman surround SpongeBob]
We'll take that as a confession.
SpongeBob SquarePants, there you are. I turn my back on you for one minute and you destroy half the city. You should be ashamed of yourself.
You know this guy?
Of course I do. I'm the one who gave him the uniform in the first place. He's my responsibility. Uh-oh...
[cut to the classroom. It is revealed Puff is in a jail cell teaching with a camera pointed at her with a monitor in the classroom.]
So, in conclusion, class. Red means "stop", green means "go". Oh, and SpongeBob?
SpongeBob[nervously] Yes, Mrs. Puff?
[shown on the monitor] I'd like to see you after class... 6 months from now!
[episode ends]
SpongeBobSquidward! Hey, Squidward! Squidward! Squidward-ier! [Squidward peeks out his window] Squidward! Look at my new pet.
That's no pet, that's a wild animal.
SpongeBobNo, he isn't. Watch this. [throws a stick so the jellyfish returns it. SpongeBob is holding up 3 fingers] How many fingers am I holding up?
[humming] 1, 2, 3.
SpongeBobPlay dead.
[The jellyfish is buried underground with a tomb that says "R.I.P.". He pops up]
I wouldn't let that thing into my house even if it was potty trained. [the jellyfish, still on the rope, is on a toilet reading a newspaper] I didn't need to see that.
SpongeBobWell, we're going to my house to have a little fun.
How can you possibly have fun with a jellyfish?
SpongeBobNice try, Sandy.
Or should I say "Mrs. Alien Pants"? [laughs]
Aliens? Is that what this is about? [SpongeBob and Patrick throw Sandy in the rocket] This isn't the moon! We're still in Bikini Bot-- [door is slammed shut]
SpongeBobIt just goes to show you: you can't trust anyone. [he and Patrick stare at each other, run off, and pump their guns] So, you were an alien all the time, and you didn't even tell me!
I didn't even know!
SpongeBobWell, I've got you now!
Oh, but it's not you that's got me. It's... [fires his pop-gun, but traps himself instead] ...me that's got me.
SpongeBobBoy, I can’t wait to see the look on Sandy’s face. [starts up the engine crashing to the moon] Sandy, I'm back! [peeks out the window] Wow, Bikini Bottom sure looks different. [sees the Earth and realizes his mistake] Uh-oh...
SpongeBob, we aliens would like a word with you!
Wha? [looks at a clock] What's that? [looks at Gallery Grub with "Squeak" words in it] I didn't write that, agh! What? [Tom's mouth muted] Who said that? Who's there? [water dripping] Huh?
[Thunder rumbles]
SpongeBob[in Mr. Krabs' memory] Could the world greatest fry cook do this? And this! And this! And this! And this! And this, and this, and this, and this, and this. [Mr. Krabs' eyes swirl] This, and this, and this, and this, and this, and...?
[snapping after too much squeaking] Stop it! Stop it! Oh! Don't you hear it? [short silence as the few customers stare at him] Yes, I did it! I did it! I took the boots! They're here! Under the floorboard! [sobbing] Oh, please! Make it stop! It's the squeaking of the hideous boots! [throws himself onto the floor and bawls] I'm sorry... [lifts up the entire Krusty Krab and grabs the boots, with everyone screaming inside.] ...but I can't take the infernal squeakin' no more! [throws himself onto the floor, then lifts the entire krusty krab up to grab the boots; He then rushes to the kitchen with the evil expression, He puts the boots into the vat of grease shrinking them and then eating them, He then opens the door to the dining room and lets out the burp] The deed is done.
Spongebob[confused] Umm, why did you eat my boots Mr. Krabs?
Because lad, you didn't need em. It's not the boots, it's the booty. Err, um, the person in the boots. You're a great fry cook, SpongeBob.
SpongeBobYou really think so, Mr. Krabs?
I do, son. [gives SpongeBob money] Here's your paycheck, SpongeBob. [gives more money] Plus, a bonus. [takes bonus back] Well, there's your paycheck anyway. [walks off] I need a vacation.
SpongeBobBye, Mr. Krabs!
Here, Patrick, have a Krabby Patty! [whispers] There he is Patrick, say your line!
[reading script] Why, thank you, Sandy, I would love one. (Take patty.) [takes the patty] Too bad SpongeBob isn't here, these are his favorites. I sure wish he'd come home! (Take...bite...) [tries to but can't] I can't do it! SpongeBob, come back!
SpongeBobPatrick, I'm not coming home.
I miss you! Sandy misses you! Even Squidward misses you!
[Cuts to Squidward at a party in his house dancing and cheering that SpongeBob is gone.]
SpongeBobWell, that's over. Back to jellyfish matters. [a drop of jelly lands on SpongeBob nose. He samples it] Mmm, jelly. [eats a lot of jelly as the jellyfish come back toward the hive] Ah, my jellyfish brethren are returning! [jellyfish buzz into the hive] Greetings, comrades!
[The jellyfish repeatedly sting SpongeBob and he yells. SpongeBob climbs out of the hive with several bites yelling in pain and runs as the jellyfish keep stinging him.]
