PKPappy Krabs
What brings you to Dead Eye Gulch, stranger?
HHopalong
Strange is right.
SpongeBuck
The name's SpongeBuck. I left home to make my way here in the big city. I'm here for the job. [holds up a paper that says 'Sheriff Wanted']
PKPappy Krabs
Wonderful! You're hired. [gives him a badge] Hey everybody! Meet our new sheriff! [everyone cheers]
SpongeBuck
Sheriff? I'm not here for the sheriff job. I'm here for the fry cook job. [holds up the same paper but points to an ad that says "Fry cook wanted Low pay/No Benefits"] Back home, I'm known for my rootin-tootin, never-pootin chili. The spiciest chili west of the old west farm. [Krabs tries it and spits it out]
PKPappy Krabs
No offense, kid. But your chili tastes terrible.
SpongeBuck
In a good way?
PKPappy Krabs
No, in a terrible way. Look, we already gave you the badge. And the law of the west says: no take backs!
PKPappy Krabs
Shshshshshsh! So that means, you're the new sheriff!
SpongeBuck
What happened to the old sheriff?
PKPappy Krabs
Uh, he's at Boot Hill. [shows a picture of a cemetery with a sign saying Boot Hill]
SpongeBuck
Gasp! And, why is he at boot hill?
PKPappy Krabs
Because Old Dead Tree Hill was totally full. [shows a picture of a full cemetery with a sign saying "Old Dead Tree Hill"]
[Act 2 starts as it cuts to the desert, and SpongeBuck is riding the coffin like a horse]
SpongeBuck
Whoa, gal, whoa! Whoa! [trips on a rock] Looks like the end of the trail. We're out of food, [shows his arm, with no hand] water, and lip balm! [lip balm turns to dust, SpongeBuck's lips crack and break off] I'm sorry, old Paint! Guess I have to put you out your misery! So long, old friend! [is about to saw coffin in half]
BSBuffalo Skull #1
Hey, buddy, you better be careful. Heat does funny things to your head.
SpongeBuck
It does?
BSBuffalo Skull #2
Oh, don't listen to that guy, kid! He's looney! [both laugh, SpongeBuck laughs, Pecos Patrick laughs]
PPPecos Patrick
Oh, hey SpongeBuck! Those guys are a barrel of laughs, huh? But lazy! Anyway, you've got to get back and save the town, sheriff!
SpongeBuck
I ain't no sheriff. Or fry cook or even coffin jockey, and I'm no match for Dead Eye Plankton! I'm nothing.
PPPecos Patrick
[slaps SpongeBuck]Out west, a man gets right back up on his coffin and faces his problems with the help of his idiot sidekick friend! That's me! [shows a badly drawn picture of himself] Duhhh...
SpongeBuck
I don't know. [Pecos Patrick slaps him again] Okay, okay! I'll do it! Just stop hurtin' me! Besides, you're right! It's time I stepped up and looked him in the eye! So, I'll go back to Dead Eye Gulch, whip Plankton, and save the town at high noon!
PPPecos Patrick
Hop on, buddy!
SpongeBuck
Thanks, idiot friend! But I don't know how we'll ever get back to Dead Eye Gulch by high noon.
PPPecos Patrick
Don't worry. I got a short-cut. He-ya! [starts riding coffin, rides over a cliff, both land on a cactus, both start flying toward Dead Eye Gulch]
[An epilogue scene cuts to the Krusty Kantina where SpongeBuck is on stage]
SpongeBuck
Hey, everybody! It's good to be here at the Krusty Kantina! We got a real special show for y'all tonight! Featuring my new best pal, this guy! [Pecos Patrick gets on stage] He's an idiot! [everyone cheers]
PPPecos Patrick
So, what are we gonna sing about, SpongeBuck?
SpongeBuck
We're gonna sing a song about friends!
