Story
[SpongeBob is next to LeBron, up for conversation.]

SpongeBob: You okay?

LeBron: Why are you asking?

SpongeBob: You look a little tired.

LeBron: After 9 months, why hasn't anybody said that earlier?

SpongeBob: Well, you don't look tired.

LeBron: Don't do caffeine. How's your summer been?

SpongeBob: Not a good one, been looking on the internet...

LeBron: At what?

SpongeBob: Myself. There's a big show called "Plankton With The Raw". Pretty good stuff. Read it.

LeBron: 'kay then. What's the matter with Larry, he's not being as badass as usual.

SpongeBob: Something's wrong with him.

LeBron: I'll go over to him to see how he is doing.

SpongeBob: You go do that then.

[LeBron goes over to Larry who is standing by himself.]

LeBron: Hey, are you okay?

Larry: Yeah, yeah. Sure, why the fish not?

LeBron: I'll leave you alone then.

Larry: I'll need some time anyways.

[He checks his ShellPhoneFish for the texts that Pearl has given him.]

SpongeBob: He checks that phone every five minutes, it's like he's a person devoted to technology but he never leaves the house.

LeBron: What happened to the others?

SpongeBob: What ones?

LeBron: Greasy Krabs, the two who have a relationship the size of a bark and Plankton.

SpongeBob: Mr Krabs has some important confidential stuff to do, Patrick and Lexi are on vacation and Plankton is right next to Larry.

[Larry receives texts from Pearl and Mr Krabs.]

Pearl [text]: Do u really think this is the best?

Mr Krabs [text]: How's it going? I need money and this phone is a mortgage phone.

[He remembers earlier that summer with Mr Krabs.]

Larry: You want me to do what with your daughter?

Mr Krabs: I wanted you to go on a date with my daughter.

Larry: I'm sorry old man, no way. I've got some other stuff to do.

Mr Krabs: I need someone.

Larry: When I said no. I said no way.

Mr Krabs: I... have... money. You people always ask for money.

Larry: Alright. When I get the time.

Mr Krabs: Good then.

[After remembering the summer. He sheds a tear.]

LeBron: This looks really out of character.

SpongeBob: You judge people by character now?

[LeBron is gone from next to SpongeBob to somewhere else.]

Larry: So, if Coach is describing you as a character, can this character give me some character for a date?

SpongeBob: Sure. I'm not the best, I have tried to give the Squid some advice. First things first, this girl; woman or whoever, praise her for the good things. Don't detest her or the whole thing goes out of proportion.

Larry: Okay then.

SpongeBob: Don't check the phone every 5 seconds.

Larry: How did you know?

SpongeBob: Everyone does that. Everyone, I mean.

Larry: I'll ask Coach as well.

SpongeBob: Watch him, he's back on the weed. He thinks I'm a character in a show.

Larry: Like the two twigs.

SpongeBob: You know, I had to teach Patrick that cancer isn't candy and is dangerous.

Larry: I know.

SpongeBob: How?

Larry: Well, he's Patrick. It's not knowing what else he will do.

[LeBron stands by himself.]

Larry: Hey, Coach. Got any love tips?

LeBron: No. I'm not a man for love, except for the basketballs.

[He gets one for example.]

Larry: I don't want to know where the hell you've put that?

LeBron: Well, not up my...

Larry: Stop. Alright. That's enough I need to know.

[He leaves the place to go to the Krusty Krab, where Pearl lies, he opens the door and sits on the table that Pearl is.]

Larry: Sorry, I'm late. Assholes at my place won't shut up.

Pearl: Had the same thing with my dad, he's such a goofball as he won't shut up about his business.

Larry: But how come he's not doing basketball any more?

Pearl: If he doesn't keep up with his "financial status", this place goes out of business.

Larry: Seems a shame to whoever cares.

Pearl: But do you think we can be fine with this?

[Larry gets images in his head of everyone over the past series trying to say that "Everything is going to fine." (When it really isn't.)]

Larry: I can't do it...

Pearl: I'm sorry?

Larry: Tell your father not to be a pedo about this and stop looking around the wall of the fryers.

Pearl: Dad?

[He crouches down to hide from the sight of Larry and Pearl at the table and comes out of SpongeBob.]

Larry: He's the one who set this flipping thing up.

Pearl: DAD?! How can you do this?

Mr Krabs: I thought this would be the best thing.

Larry: It really isn't. I'm never going on a date again.

[He leaves the place]

Mr Krabs: I'm sorry.

Pearl: Don't talk to me, Dad.

[She leaves the place as well.]

Mr Krabs: Sorry.

[He keeps his head down.]
