What the...? How are you two making that noise?
[laughs] What noise, Squidward?
I could only hear the sound of our laughter.
Yes! But those sound effects: the avalanche, the-the-the...
Don't forget the second avalanche!

How are you doing that?
First we establish a base camp at 15,000 feet.
The noises! How are you two making those noises?
Well, that's easy. All you need is a box.
And... imagination. [forms a rainbow with his hands]
Are you trying to say I have no imagination? I have more..."imagination" in one tentacle than you two have in your whole bodies.
That's good. Now all you need is a box.
I gotta try to relax. Perhaps I can drown out their childish games with a little TV...
[He turns on the TV to see a show with boxes on a conveyor belt in a factory]
MTMale TV narrator
It is here that the boxes reach their final stage of assembly.
[Changes the channel to an old professor talking about a box equation on a chalkboard.]

I couldn't afford a present this year... so I got ya this box. [holds up a box]
I4Incidental 48
That's what I got you! [holds up another box]
Isn't there anything on that isn't about boxes?!
[Changes the channel to a boxing match on TV]
AAnnouncer
And welcome back to Championship Boxing!
Heh-heh, I guess this is okay. I mean, it's not really about boxes.
[Shows two boxes "boxing" each other in the ring]
I give up.
[Bubble transition as he looks in his closet] There's gotta be one in here! [finds a small, round green box] Ah! This hat box should do nicely. [pulls out a Mexican sombrero] Why haven't I worn this yet? [throws it off-screen, gets in the box, but he is too big for it and then just sits there. He then frowns with smoking present, looks at his watch, and then gets mad and kicks the box. Police sirens are heard]
PIPoliceman Inside Box
Attention! We have you surrounded! Come out with your hands up!
What do they want with me? What did I do? [gasps] Obviously I violated some new box kicking law. [walks out of his house showing the green box] Look, officers, everything's okay. I won't do it again.
CICriminal Inside Box
You'll never take me alive, coppers!
MIMan Inside Box
No, Johnny! Don't do it! [Police sirens are heard. Squidward gets angry and kicks his green box toward SpongeBob and Patrick's box]
[opens box and sirens stop] Whoopee! Another box! [takes the hat box and closes the box they're sitting in and police sirens are heard again]
All right, where is it?
Here I am!
Where's what, Squidward?
Don't "Where's what, Squidward?" me! Where's the tape recorder?!
We don't have a tape recorder, Squidward.
Don't "We don't have a tape recorder, Squidward" me!
But we don't!
We have a tape recorder box.
Hey, our box is gone!
Oh, well.
I know, let's go see Squidward.
I hope he's not too down in the dumps today...
