[SpongeBob grabs a basketball and begins shooting]

[Patrick is left unconscious; he slowly gains consciousnous after 5 minutes]

Patrick: (begins feeling himself)

SpongeBob: Whoa, bro....

Patrick: No, I can't find Kevin.

SpongeBob: Dafuh?

Patrick: My manakin head. Kevin! I was holding him when....AH! There he is!

[He points to the parking lot]

Larry: (drives his truck directly over Kevin the manakin head)

Patrick: NOOO! They killed Kevin!!!

LeBron: (coming back from the bathroom) Haha! I see what you did there.

Patrick: (stares at him)

LeBron: Get it? Cuz.....South Park....

Patrick: (stares at him)

LeBron: I'll be in the bathroom. (runs off)

[Larry hops out of his truck]

Larry: Mornin' fellas!

[Patrick lunges after him]

Patrick: AHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Larry: AHHHHHHH!!!!!

[Larry wakes up in the hospital]

Larry: What just happened....

[SpongeBob and LeBron are in the hospital room holding flowers and balloons]

SpongeBob: Patrick tried to kill you.

LeBron: Because you ran over his manakin head.

Doctor: (sniffs LeBron) Is that weed?

LeBron: ….....(jumps out the window)

Doctor: That was harsh. I was just running low on my supply.

SpongeBob: …...

Doctor: (looks at his clipboard) So, anyway, a couple of days and you'll be good to go, Lobster Boy!

Larry: That's cool and all, Doc. But where's Patrick?

Doctor: You mean the psycopath who tried to murder you?

SpongeBob: He's in prison....I'm visiting him after this.

Larry: Oh.......welp.....

LeBron: (from outside) Hey, Doc? I think I broke my arm out here!

Doctor: (sigh) Coming.

[Scene cuts to Patrick groaning and grunting in dark prison cell]

Patrick: Grrr.......huff.......Puff......

Mrs. Puff: Someone say Puff?

Patrick: Hey, its Big Fat Meanie! What are you doing here?

Mrs. Puff: Well, my boyfriend called me fat.....I had road rage....and now I'm here.

Patrick: Epic story.

Mrs. Puff: You?

Patrick: Larry killed my manakin head.

Mrs. Puff: …...(slowly backs up, and then runs away)

Patrick: (sigh)

[Lexi, SpongeBob, Squidward, Plankton, and Krabs enter the prison to visit]

Patrick: Leave me alone, guys.

Lexi: (kisses him through the bars)

Patrick:.....okay, you can stay.

SpongeBob: Patrick, are you insane? Why'd you make such a big deal over a stupid manakin head?

Patrick: (sigh) I didn't wanna tell you guys this. But here it comes.

Squidward: I hear a flashback coming.

Patrick: It was the summer of 1983....

SpongeBob: Hold up. You weren't even born until 1989.

Patrick: Good point. It was the summer of 1989....

[Flashback begins]

Patrick: (narrating) I was just entering middle school....

Squidward: (interrupting) That doesn't make any sense! On multiple leves!

Patrick: Shuddap! Anyway, I had no friends. I sat at the loser table.....by myself. Even the losers rejected me. Until one year.....I wished for a pony. I wished and wished. As hard as I could. And when Chrismas finally came around-

Plankton: YOU GOT A PONY?

[Awkward silence]

Plankton: Hey, friendship is magic, people! #brony

Patrick: No. My parents told me ponies can't live underwater. So they got me a manakin head...named Kevin.

Squidward: Kevin?

Patrick: Kevin. He was my greatest friend. He got me through my parents' divorce. He got me through bullying, suicidal thoughts, and dark times throughout my life. He was the only person I knew loved me. He kept me warm every night. He was my only true friend. He made me the man I am today.

Squidward: A bafoon?

Patrick: Shush! Anyway, now I have all of you great friends. And an awesome girlfriend. But without Kevin.....it's like losing a piece of me.

SpongeBob: (sniff) That is so sad....

Plankton: (balling) I can hardly contain myself!

Squidward: Oh, come on people. It's a manakin head!

Lexi: I'm with Squidward! You gotta get over it!

Patrick: No, babe. I cannot move on.

Lexi: You're moving on. We gotta bust you outta here.

Squidward: How are we gonna do that?

''[Mr. Krabs is arguing with Mrs. Puff through the bars]''

Krabs: I wasn't trying to call you fat, dear!

Mrs. Puff: Oh really? Then what were you saying?

Krabs: Ummm.....ya see, I called you.....uh.....overweight.

Mrs. Puff: That's it. (angrily busts through the bars and chases Krabs into the distance)

Lexi: Pefect! The bars are open!

SpongeBob: Come on, Pat!

Patrick: Coming! (he escapes, and the gang leaves)

[Scene cuts to Patrick's house; SpongeBob, Lexi, and Patrick are inside]

Patrick: (looking at a picture of Kevin) Sniff.....this was us in the 4th grade.

SpongeBob: You didn't even get him until middle school!

Lexi: Which he started the year he was born, apparently.

SpongeBob: During the summer too.

Patrick: Okay, my stories make no sense. But c'mon. SpongeBob, you're my best friend, right?

SpongeBob: Right.

Patrick: And Lexi. You're my girlfriend, right?

Lexi: Right.

Patrick: Well.....(starts wailing) DO SOMETHING!!!

Lexi: Okay, okay, calm down.

SpongeBob: Yeah, Pat. It's killing me to see you like this.

Lexi: That's it! SpongeBob, can I talk to you for a minute?

SpongeBob: Sure, what's up?

Lexi: (whispering) Look, I know it's not normal for a man his age to have a manakin head. That's just not right.

SpongeBob: I'm listening.

Lexi: And Patrick thinks of Kevin as a person. So.....if we can convince him that he'll see Kevin in Heaven, then maybe he'll accept it more.

SpongeBob: Worth a shot!

Lexi: Hey, Patrick....

Patrick: (sniff) Yes?

Lexi: So, uh....Kevin lived a great life.

Patrick: Don't remind me....(eyes wattering)

Lexi: But, uh, ya know......one day in Heaven....you'll see him again.

Patrick: Really?

Lexi: Of course.

SpongeBob: When you're dead.

Patrick: (sniff) ….But I don't WANNA DIE!!! (starts balling)

Lexi: Nice going, SpongeBob.

SpongeBob: Heh-heh....sorry.

[There is a knock at the door]

SpongeBob: (answers) Not a good time!

[Larry is standing there on crutches]

Larry: Hey, uh, it's me.

Patrick: YOU! IMMA KILL YOU!

Lexi: (holds him back) What do you want, Larry?

Larry: I felt so bad about what happened. So here. I wanted you to have something. (he holds up Kevin, perfectly repaired)

Patrick: KEVIN!!! (runs up to him, hugs him, and kisses him)

SpongeBob: You fixed it?

Larry: Yup. It was easy. Just took it to my garage, and-

Patrick: Oh this is great!!!!

[LeBron busts into the house]

LeBron: I need to SMOKE! Anybody got a lighter?

Larry: Uh, yeah, here ya go. (hands him a lighter)

LeBron: YES! (he turns on the lighter, accidentally setting fire to Kevin)

Patrick: AHH! Kevin's on FIRE!

[Kevin is burnt into a pile of ashes]

SpongeBob: No!!! They killed Kevin!!!

LeBron: Lol. South Park.

Patrick: NOT FUNNY!

[The camera pans to an outside view of Patrick's house; we hear screaming and pounding]

Larry: (from inside) AHH!!!! That wasn't even MY FAULT!!!

Patrick: I don't CARE!!!!

[We hear glass breaking as Larry screaming like a little girl]
