The hooks, me bucko! They're back! Beware the hooks!
Aye, the hooks! They dangle down and draw you close with their pleasing shapes and beguiling colors, and just when you think you've found the land of milk and honey, they grab ya by the britches, and haul you way up high, and higher, and higher, and higher, until you're hauled up to the surface, flopping and gasping for breath! And then they cook ya, and then they eat ya...or worse!
[terrified] What could be worse than that?
What did I tell ya about those hooks, boy?
I'll tell ya about the hooks. You ride 'em up, and up, and up, then you gently float down.
And do ya know what happens when ya don't float back down?
Worse! Ya end up vacuum-packed, in a can of tuna! With nothin' to look forward to but the smell of mayonnaise!
All I know is Mr. Krabs said... [Patrick eats the cheese off the hook] Patrick, don't do that!
I need a sailor's promise! Repeat after me: Yoho! Yoho! Near the hooks, I'll never go!
SP SpongeBob and Patrick
Yoho! Yoho! Near the hooks, we'll never go.
[A hook comes down and pokes Mr. Krabs in the butt]
YOOOWIE! Mother of Pearl! Fire on the poop deck! [rubs his butt]
SP SpongeBob and Patrick
Ahh! Mother of Pearl! Fire on the poop deck! [rub their butts]
Hey SpongeBob, you're going the wrong way!
I always go to work this way.
You're not going to work today, we're gonna go play Hooky!
But, Patrick, we promised.
Well, I had my fingers crossed.
You don't have any fingers, Patrick.
Well, that Mr. Krabs is just a big dummy! We played on those hooks all day long, and nothing happened to us!
Look, SpongeBob. Are you gonna listen to a big dummy, or are you gonna listen to me?
[final lines]
[voice only, in a can of tuna] Hello? Does somebody have a can opener?
