[looks at watch] You two have ten hours. [SpongeBob keeps marching in the background] And since you're the artistic type, you get to design it.
[excited] Design? Okay! [skeptical] Wait, what's the budget?
Well, that's the best part! [pinches claws together] Zero budget! You get to be creative and use your imagerination.
[waves his broom over Squidward's head, creating a rainbow] Imagination! [rainbow falls on Squidward, turning him rainbow, and he shakes it off in frustration]
[laughs] Can't wait to see your masterpiece. [walks away] Have fun, you two. [laughs]
Welcome to the annual Bikini Bottom Parade, and it's a beautiful ocean day for it. I'm Perch Perkins, coming to you live from downtown. And with me is this year's co-host, the one and only Ice Cream King. [the Ice Cream King is asleep, and flails wildly when Perch touches him] It's an honor to have you, Your Majesty. Do I call you King or Ice?
[gasps] Hey, you're that guy! How'd you get out of my TV, [pinches Perch's cheek] you bad little boy? [squishes Perch's cheeks] Ooh, you're wearing makeup! [close-up of purple makeup on Perch's face] Are you a cloud? [shakes him] I want a balloon!
Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure. We'll get you a balloon. [cheers and applause, Pearl and a marching band march past] And to kick off this year's parade here comes the Bikini Bottom High School marching band. You know, even when they're not playing, they love to march together. The band is actually made up of 35 individual bands. Amazing precision from these youngsters! [The band members make the shape of a flower cloud.]
[gasps] They all wore the same outfit. How embarrassing. [The band members make the shape of a jellyfish.]
That's a jellyfish? I was gonna say a clump of hair.
[A trumpet player splits into two and spins away.]
Wait, did that kid just separate into two organisms via binary fission? [another one splits and spins away]
I've been bicycle fishing. It really hurts. [the crowd cheers as the band members split into more jellyfish, then clear out a rectangular space]
[laughs] Aren't those kids amazing? [horn honks, boats drive wildly onto the road as pedestrians run away] And what have we here? It's the kooky Nitwitting Club.[One member jumps out of his boat, dumps his brain out of a bucket, puts it on his head, and runs away. Another one spins on the brain and leaves a trail of drool. The Ice Cream King comes in with a boat on his head, makes engine noises, and rolls around.] Okay, the Ice Cream King has joined his fellow Nitwitters. Whoa, I've never seen anyone drive like that before! [crowd cheering]
[At the start of the parade, the Krusty Krab float is between Fred's leg float and a jellyfishing float with a robotic Kevin. Mr. Krabs is on top of the formula bottle and SpongeBob is at the deep fryers.]
Boy, after seeing this float, everyone will rush to the Krusty Krab! How ya set up with those [points down] expired fries, boy-o?
[takes out baskets] Good and greasy, boss! [puts baskets in grease]
[squished inside the patty] No, I'm not! I can't see a thing with SpongeBob in front of me!
Excellent! It's our turn. Let's move it out! [The float crashes through the "Parade Start" banner. Bubble transition to the float for Larry's Gym moving past. Two strong fish are lifting weights.]
Next up we have the Beefy Bros from Larry's Gym. Whoa, look at those meatheads pump iron.[Larry lifts up the float and laughs] That's some impressive muscle hustle![An inflated Mrs. Puff floats down the street, being carried by kids in small boats.]
And here comes Mrs. Puff. Oh, as her own balloon!
Whoa, I want that balloon![Patrick's rock slides past, making a scraping sound.]
Patrick's rock is one float that doesn't float.
AAudience
Aah! [covers their ears, Bubble Bass gestures on top of the Invisible Boatmobile with Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.]
Oh, looks like Bubble Bass has hitched a ride with Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. And what's this? [Fred rides by in a float of his leg.] Not to be outdone, it's Fred in his incredible My Leg Mobile.
My leg! My leg! I'm in my leg!
[sniffs and inhales Perch's hair] I smell grease!
Oh, that's not me you're smelling, King!
[as Squidward's spot is empty] The Krusty Krab float is coming in hot!
[chuckles and waves] My leg! [the Krusty Krab float hits him and knocks him away] My Leg Mobile! [Bubble Bass is waving. Fred's float kicks him into the air.]
And here we see the domino effect in action. [Bubble Bass lands in the arms of a weightlifter on Larry's float.]
[grunts] Larry can't lift this kind of weight. [groans and drops the float, making it collapse]
