Story
[A horrible blizzard hits Bikini Bottom]

Squidward: (at the Krusty Krab) Sigh. There's nothing worse than working at the Krusty Krab.

SpongeBob: I know what'll cheer you up, Squidward!

Squidward: Suicide?

SpongeBob: Even better! We're snowed in! We'll be trapped in here for days! Maybe weeks!

Squidward: (frantically) Snowed in? Whaaat???? (he rushes to the window, only to see 7 feet of snow blocking all exits)

SpongeBob: Isn't it lovely?

Squidward: I can't believe it!!! I'm stuck in here forever!!!! With....with....YOU!!!!

[Squidward has a vision of him and SpongeBob married in the future, with dozens of sponge/squid babies running around the Krusty Krab]

Squidward: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SpongeBob: Aren't you excited? Just you, me, and good 'ol Mr. Krabs!

Krabs: Stay away from me.

Patrick: (hops out of the cash register) AND ME!!!!

Krabs: Patrick? What are you doing here? And with me money!

Patrick: Eh, I'm just eatin' some corn dogs.

Squidward: (panicking) No! No! This isn't happening! This snow has to melt! I can't be stuck in here with you guys!

SpongeBob: We can eat Krabby Patties to survive! I love this!

Squidward: WELL I DON'T!!!!! I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!!

Krabs: Well, Mr. Squidward, you and SpongeBob could each go shovel the snow out of the way. (hands him and SpongeBob each a snow shovel)

Squidward: That's a great idea!

Krabs: And you can shovel all the roads in Bikini Bottom.

Squidward: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???????

Krabs: It's the polite thing to do. Squidward: What if I don't WANNA shovel all the roads in Bikini Bottom?

Krabs: Then, off with your head! (holds up a pitch fork)

Squidward: You don't have the AUTHORITY to do that!

Krabs: Oh. Then, you're fired!

Squidward: (sigh) Fine, I'll do it.

Krabs: Good. I'll be in my office, counting me money. (leaves)

SpongeBob: Isn't it great, Squidward? We get to be together, AND do a good deed for all the people in Bikini Bottom!

Squidward: Bah, humbug! I don't care about anyone in Bikini Bottom!

Patrick: What about Sandy? (knudges him and winks at him)

Squidward: Shut up! You've made your point. But I'm still NOT doing it!

SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs will fire you!

Squidward: Not if I get someone to do it FOR me!

Patrick: Who?

Squidward: (hands the shovel to Patrick) YOU!

Patrick: What am I supposed to do with this? (hits Squidward on the head with the shovel)

Squidward: It's not a weapon, Patrick! You shovel snow with it! Now get out there!

[Squidward throws SpongeBob and Patrick out of the Krusty Krab]

SpongeBob: Dang. The snow's over our heads.

Patrick: All I see is a big blob of white.

SpongeBob: Don't be racist, Patrick.

Patrick: No really. There's snow everywhere/

SpongeBob: Well, let's just start shoveling.

Patrick: What's shoveling?

SpongeBob: Just use the shovel to push the snow out of the way.

Patrick: (hits SpongeBob on the head with his shovel) Like this?

SpongeBob: (on the ground) You've got some work to do, Patrick.

[Camera pans to reveal Plankton is watching them with binoculars from the Chum Bucket]

Plankton: Look at those fools, Karen.

Karen: The only fool I see is you.

Plankton: Even worse, Karen. Look outside.

Karen: The naked man outside?

[A naked man is walking through the streets]

Plankton: That is pretty foolish. Unless he wants his butt to freeze off. But not him, I mean SpongeBob and Patrick!

Karen: What about them?

Plankton: They look so vulnerable. I have to mess with them!

Karen: Knock yourself out. I'm gonna get some rest. (unplugs herself)

[Plankton walks outside, and lies on the ground, pretending to be stranded in the cold]

SpongeBob: Hey, look Patrick, there's Plankton.

Plankton: (cough, cough) SpongeBob, help me! (cough)

SpongeBob: What's wrong, Plankton?

Plankton: I've been stranded out here in the snow for weeks!

SpongeBob: It's only been snowing for 30 minutes.

Plankton: Oh yeah, well, I've been stranded out here in the snow for 30 minutes!

SpongeBob: You poor thing! Let's take you inside the Krusty Krab to warm up. (picks him up)

Plankton: (grinning) This is too easy.

[Inside the Krusty Krab, Squidward is reading a magazine]

SpongeBob: (enters) Hey, Squidward!

Squidward: Are you two boobs done shoveling yet?

Patrick: We did NOT shovel with our boobs! We used our hands!

SpongeBob: And we're not even close to being finished....

Squidward: Then get back to work!

SpongeBob: We had to bring Plankton inside. The poor guy's been shivering in the snow for 30 minutes!

Squidward: Plankton? I don't see Plankton!

SpongeBob: He was here a second ago....

[Plankton is running toward Mr. Krab's office]

Plankton: This is too easy!!!! My glory day of victory has finally-

SPLAT

Squidward: There! Squished 'em! That was a close call. Don't let anyone else inside! It's dangerous!

[The naked man is now at the front door, shivering and knocking]

SpongeBob: Should we let him in, Squidward?

Naked Man: (shivering on the other end of the glass)

Squidward: Hmmmm.......nope. Looks a little suspicious. Better safe than sorry.

Naked Man: Gulp. (his arm falls off) Frostbite!

[The man falls over in the snow]
