 * Narrator: Brad has decided to forgive Pearl and invites SpongeBob and Pearl to dinner to congratulates them on their relatonship. Brad tries to convince Pearl that SpongeBob is not the one, but she doesn't listen.
 * [scene starts at Brad's home as he prepares dinner]
 * Brad: [door bell rings; Brad answers it] Coming!
 * Pearl: [smiles] Thank you.
 * Brad: [grins] Come in and make yourself comfy.
 * Pearl: [steps in through the door, runs fingers through hair] Brad, I am glad that you have accepted my choice.
 * Brad: [grins again] I knew that I couldn't let the anger stay all bubbled up inside me... just because you're a  heart-breaker.
 * [awkward silence]
 * Pearl: [looks down] Um... I am going to sit on the couch now.
 * Brad: Dinner is almost ready.
 * Pearl: Okay.
 * Brad: [door bell rings; Brad answers it] Coming!
 * SpongeBob: [smiles] Thank you for inviting me.
 * Brad: Okay, as I told Pearl, dinner will be ready soon. [slides on over to the couch] So while we are out here waiting, let's catch up.
 * SpongeBob: Well, if you don't mind Brad, I would like to ask you a queston.
 * Brad: Okay. Go on.
 * SpongeBob: What are your plans for dating?
 * Brad: Well, I am not planing on opening my heart up to anyone ever again because of... uncommitted people.
 * SpongeBob: I suppose you mean Pearl to be under the catagory of... uncommitted people.
 * Brad: [looks down in anger] Look, SpongeBob, I didn't invite you to argue. I invited you so I could show that I somewhat support you and Pearl.
 * SpongeBob: [looks mad] Okay, well, I am so sorry that it doesn't take much to get you mad, does it?
 * Pearl: [yells] SpongeBob, stop it! This is certainly not the time!
 * Brad: [yells] Maybe you should go!
 * SpongeBob: [yells] Maybe I will... but before I go, I want you to know that Pearl and I will go and live happily ever after without you.
 * Brad: [grins and then yells] No, you won't! I admit that what Pearl did to me was wrong, and I don't want to be with her ever again! But it still pains me that she is about to go out there and ruin her life with a scum... such as yourself.
 * Brad: [turns to Pearl and yells] I don't want you to come crying back to me about how he broke your heart, because I won't be the one picking up the pieces.
 * Pearl: [angrily] SpongeBob, let's go. And Brad, I am sorry that I hurt you, but SpongeBob and I will be happy together and I need you to accept that. [walks out the door]
 * Brad: [sighs]
 * [scene cuts to new characters, Jennifer, Nicki, and Ryan, while they are at their jobs at Money Bags]
 * Nicki: [rushes over to Jennifer] Jennifer, do you have the paper work for Ryan?
 * Jennifer: No. I couldn't get the printer to... you know... print.
 * Nicki: [grins] Um... Jennifer, did you actually turn the printer on? May I remind you of the last time?
 * Jennifer: Yes, I did, Miss Fresh Cod. And the last time... I was half awake.
 * Nicki: [looks mad] Okay, but that means that we don't have a gig for tomorrow.
 * Jennifer: Well, it is not my fault that Ryan is to cheap to find us a gig himself... 'cause then we don't have a place to rob nor will there be money coming in through my paycheck.
 * Nicki: So, let's try to think of something before we both lose our jobs.
 * [scene cuts to Pearl dialling her cellphone]
 * Pearl: [dials Jennifer's number]
 * Jennifer: Hello?
 * Pearl: Hey, it's me... I need your advice about SpongeBob.
 * Jennifer: Girl, I thought you got all that cleared up.
 * Pearl: I did, I just got back from Brad's house... but a quarter of me is saying that I still haven't found it.
 * Jennifer: Found what?
 * Pearl: The one... my true love.
 * Jennifer: Okay, think about this line that I am about to tell you. It's my all time favorite: "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, it was meant to be. If they don't, it never was."
 * Pearl: Okay, thanks for that, sis. Wanna come over?
 * Jennifer: No, but thanks for the offer.
 * Pearl: Yeah. Sure. [hangs up]
 * [scene cuts back to Brad]
 * Brad: [gets into car and drives to the grocery store]
 * Clerk: Okay, sir, do you want to pay with debit or credit?
 * Brad: Debit. [grabs goceries and walks toward the exit and bumps into woman]
 * Brad: Excuse you.
 * Elizabeth: I am so sorry. [looks up into Brad's eyes and smiles]
 * Brad: No, I'm sorry. [looks down to pick up groceries and looks up into Elizabeth's eyes and smiles]
 * Elizabeth: [smiles] Hi.
 * Brad: [smiles] Hi.
