Ah. [Mr. Krabs and Squidward are there. He gasps]
What's that?
What's what?
Behind your back?
You mean this? [pulls his splinter out from behind his back, but it is covered by his hat]
Put your hat on, boy! Show some company pride!
[puts his hat on] Heh, company pride, of course.
Uh, SpongeBob?
Yes?
Have you always had three legs?
[has a sock and shoe covering his splintered thumb] Yes.
[believing him] Interesting... Well, what's this about a splinter that Squidward's been telling me all about? [SpongeBob screams] All right, boy, let's see it. [SpongeBob whimpers] Come on, SpongeBob, it's just a little splinter. I mean, how bad could it...? [SpongeBob reveals his massive, swollen thumb which has a slight area of pale green fizz around the impaled center. His thumb is now red. Mr. Krabs gags] Oh, merciful Neptune! [Squidward moans and faints] Okay, no problem. No problem. [easily picks out the splinter. There is a brief pause and the tip of SpongeBob's thumb pops and shoots out confetti] Problem sol... [green pus shoots out of SpongeBob's thumb onto Mr. Krabs' face. He takes out an umbrella as it dies down. There is a close-up of SpongeBob's free hand, bending his splinter-free thumb] Whew. For a second there, I thought I was gonna have to pay you workman's "compersation."
What's worker's compensation?
You know, when you get paid for sitting at home.
[his eyes shoot open. He gets up] You mean I can get paid while I'm at home?
Yeah, what do ya' think "compersation" stands for?
[gets the cash register out of the boat counter and slowly smashes it onto his head two times] Ow!
Uh, Squidward?
[Squidward smashes the cash register on his head another two times then throws the cash register up into the air and gets crushed by it.]
Can I get my "compersation" now?
No. Sorry, Squidward, your shift ended over two minutes ago.
