Larry: The new taco place downtown?

SpongeBob: I heard it's really good.

Plankton: Taco Hell, here we come!

Squidward: Woot! Woot!

[The team arrives at Taco Hell]

LeBron: Nothin' better than some tacos from Taco Hell!

Patrick: Si, senor! Me encanta tacos y burritos!

Squidward: What did he just say?

LeBron: It's Spanish, yo.

Squidward: Do you speak it?

LeBron: No, but seriously, what did you assume it was? Chinese?

Squidward: Touche.

SpongeBob: What language is “touche”?

Squidward: (facepalm) Arabic, SpongeBob. Arabic.

SpongeBob: Yaaay!!!!

Lexi: These tacos aren't the only thing I want in my mouth. (grabs Patrick and starts making out with him)

Patrick: (blushes) Babe, not in front of this Mexican dude!

[The manager of Taco Hell is greeting them]

Carlos: Hola! Me llamo Carlos!

Larry: I don't speak Mexican.

LeBron: (punches him) It's Spanish, jerk!

Larry: Oww, gosh.

Carlos: Si, es Espanol. Te gusta su tacos?

Larry: Me no speak-o Spanish-o, weird-o.

LeBron: (punches him) We can't understand him, but atleast be polite!

Larry: How?

LeBron: Nod your head, and say “Si.”

Larry: Oh. Si.

SpongeBob: You own a great restaurant, Carlos. I think Taco Hell is the greatest restaurant in Bikini Bottom!

Krabs: (gasps)

Carlos: Gracias, amigo! Adios! (goes back to the kitchen)

Krabs: SpongeBob, what was that?

SpongeBob: I complemented him. Taco Hell is amazing.

Krabs: What about the Krusty Krab, lad!

SpongeBob: It's okay, but times are changing....

Squidward: Mexicans are taking over our jobs.

SpongeBob: I didn't mean like that, Squidward.

Krabs: Fine! I'll show you the Krusty Krab can have tacos!

Squidward: Don't try to compete, Mr. Krabs.

Krabs: But they're stealing me customers! This place is jam-packed!

LeBron: Well, it is waaay better than the Krusty Krab.

Krabs: …....

LeBron: No offense.

Plankton: Hmm.....maybe I should focus on stealing the TACO formula instead of the stupid Krabby Patty formula!

Krabs: I'll help you with that!

Plankton: Really? Krabs: Heck yeah! We can put this place out of business!

Plankton: Sweet!

[They shake hands]

Krabs: You're the evil genius. Any suggestions?

Plankton: (grins) Operation Taco Hell is a go!

[The Next Day]

Krabs: (walks up to the counter) Hello, I'd like to order-

Carlos: Hola! Como esta?

Krabs: Yes, um-

Carlos: Cinco De Mayo Feliz!!!!

Krabs: What the Taco Hell is he saying....

Plankton: Cinco De Mayo is the Spanish name for May 5th.

Krabs: May 5th was over a month ago!

Plankton: I guess every day is Cinco De Mayo to this guy...

Carlos: Hola! Muchachos grandes!

Krabs: You're creeping me out. Just give me a taco.

Carlos: Si! Tacos!

[He hands Mr. Krabs a taco]

Krabs: Yes! We got one! Let's take it back to the lab, Plankton!

Plankton: Umm, why does the taco have a timer going off?

[The taco has a bomb inside it; the taco explodes]

Krabs: ….this dude is smarter than we thought.....

Carlos: Si! Tu eres muy tonto y feo!

[Carlos throws Krabs & Plankton out of the restaurant]

Krabs: What do we do now? Plankton: I've been failing at stealing your formula for YEARS! Do you really think I have a better plan?

Krabs: Hmmm.....we need to DESTROY Taco Hell! Mwahahahahahahah!!!!

Plankton: (looks at his watch) It's time for basketball practice, Eugine. We'll destroy Taco Hell afterwards.

Krabs: Alright.

[They go to practice at the Bulldogs' gym]

LeBron: Alright, team. I have an announcement.

SpongeBob: Fire away, Coach!

Patrick: Okay! (lights SpongeBob's shoe on fire)

SpongeBob: Not THAT kind of fire, Pat!!!

Patrick: Oh. Whooooops.

Lexi: Good things your sexy.

Patrick: Raaar. (winks)

Larry: You two make me sick.

Patrick: …..(lights Larry's foot on fire)

Larry: GAHH!!! CURSE YOU!!!!

LeBron: Team, settle down. I just wanted to let you know: Taco Hell will become our new hangout.

Krabs: What??

LeBron: After each game, whether we win or lose, we'll end the day with a nice team meal at Taco Hell!

Squidward: Woo-hoo! That place is the bomb!

Krabs: It literally IS the bomb. The manager put a bomb in my taco!

Plankton: We were trying to still his formula, though....

LeBron: Listen, I know you two are restuarant-owners, but please. Do NOT sabatoge Taco Hell. If you try any more funny business, I'll have you removed from the team! Do you understand?

Krabs: (gulp) Yessir.

Plankton: Yes ma'am, ahhh sir.....

LeBron: Good.

[On the way home from practice]

Krabs: Barnacles! What the Taco Hell do we do now?

Plankton: Hmmm.....

Krabs: I want to ruin Taco Hell....but I don't wanna lose my membership of the team!

Plankton: There's only one thing we can do, Eugine.

Krabs: What's that?

Plankton: We speak to a TRUE evil mastermind.

Krabs: Oh! I like the sound of that!

[The two of them enter Man Ray's evil lair]

Man Ray: Ah, Plankton. Welcome. I see you brought your fat foe.

Plankton: We're working together. And we need your help.

Man Ray: Ah. What devilish deeds do you need assistance on?

Krabs: There's this new restaurant downtown.....named Taco Hell.....

Man Ray: (eating a taco from Taco Hell) Oh......(quickly shoves the taco in his mouth) Never heard of it.

Krabs: Anyway, it's stealing our business.

Plankton: We tried stealing the formula, but the manager's a rather smart Mexican.

Man Ray: Ah, quite rare.

Krabs: Our coach, LeBron, loves the place. And he says if we destroy it, he'll remove us from the team!

Man Ray: Ah, you don't want to lose your team membership.

Plankton: Exactly.

Man Ray: However, it is a price you must pay.

Plankton: …...

Man Ray: You have to think. What is more important to you: Your customers or your basketball team.

Krabs: Wow......I didn't think about that.....

Plankton: Stop beating around the bush! Enough of that shiz!

Man Ray: Ahem.

Plankton: We want YOU to destroy Taco Hell for us!

Man Ray: But I love tacos. What's in it for me?

[Plankton & Krabs look at eachother and grin]

Krabs: Tee-hee....

Man Ray: …..?

[The scene cuts to an image of Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy tied up, being held captive by Man Ray]

Man Ray: Thanks for turning in these two! I've been battling these heroes for years!

Plankton: No problem!

Krabs: They're senial, anyway.

Mermaid Men: (tied up) Ketchup must be stopped! …..(falls asleep)

Barnacle Boy: (tied up) I'm not senial, but I don't really care. (his nose falls off) Oww...

Krabs: And thanks for destroying Taco Hell!

Man Ray: No problem! It was a fair trade!

[Scene cuts to a bunch of ashes where Taco Hell used to be]

LeBron: (on the ground, crying) NOOOOOO!!!!!! I'll see you again in Heaven, Taco Hell!

Larry: (pats him on the back) There, there. It was just it's time.

LeBron: (punches him) No! It wasn't ready!

Larry: Ouch! What is it with you punching me in this episode?

LeBron: (punches him)

Larry: GAHHHH!!!!!!

SpongeBob: What happened to your restaurant, Carlos?

LeBron: Grrr.....it BETTER not have been Krabs and Plankton!

Carlos: No, no, es el Man Ray! El hombre feo!

Squidward: We don't know what your saying.....

Carlos: Hombre tonto! Hombre gordo!

LeBron: In the words of Buzz Lightyear: “You're a sad, strange little man.”

[The team leaves Carlos behind]

Carlos: …..man, people these days.
