Transcript
[The episode begins as we see a big piece of sea paper with all the teams that they have fought so far.]

Kobe: So that's the Krushers and the Cebu Elites done so far.

Larry: Two teams?

Kobe: It would have been one if the Krushers weren't made because of Krabs. Who's next then?

[He checks his emails. The most recent is a POBA one.]

Kobe: Checking these emails for what the POBA sent us this time…

[He reads it but doesn’t reveal it to anyone.]

SpongeBob: Kobe… what is it?

Kobe: They want us to meet up with a outsider team. The um, ‘Last Generation Legends’, they call themselves.

Patrick: I wanna jump off them.

SpongeBob: Patrick, what the hell do you mean by that?

Patrick: I like ledges.

[He gets transported to a ledge, where he jumps of it.]

Lexi: Sorry guys, I’m gonna go find him.

[She leaves for the while.]

Larry: They said about playing against them yet?

Kobe: Still stuck in pre-season mode folks. I bet not for much longer…

Larry: Well… let’s go see these ‘Last Generation Losers’.

SpongeBob: ‘Legends’...

Larry: Doesn’t matter, they’re losers to me.

SpongeBob: You’ve never even met them!

Larry: The name is enough…

SpongeBob: (huffs…)

[They walk to the team they’re going to meet next as they walk into the gym. Everyone is now silent. This goes on for a bit too long.]

Larry: So, what? You’ve never seen a team before?

Player: Not for (gets out a old phone) 10 years…

Larry: How long have you had that?

Player: (checks the first text but Larry throws the phone outside.) Hey! That cost me $60!

Kobe: Anyways. Who’s the coach?

Coach: That would be me… (walks to them.) My name’s Ethan Jonas, coach of this team.

Kobe: Right… we’d been sent an email from the POBA to meet you all.

Ethan; We hadn’t received one yet. I’d wish they’d get us back on our AOL mail.

Kobe: They use Gmail.

SpongeBob: Is this your team, Mr. Jonas?

Ethan: There was a couple of others… but they got married or died.

Larry: Not like anyone who would do that.

Kobe: Anyways, nice to meet you. See you when we beat you…

Ethan: Like you would.

[Lexi bursts in with Patrick who has bruises.]

Lexi: Found him, coach…

[More silence.]

Lexi: Never seen a woman before?

Ethan: Been such a long time…

[Lexi goes to Kobe and whispers.]

Lexi: These the team you were talking about?

Kobe: Yep.

Lexi: O...kay then. Who’s he?

SpongeBob: Their coach.. Ethan Jonas.

Lexi: Where’s the other two brothers?

[They then stop whispering.]

Lexi (shakes hands with Ethan’s fin.) Hiya, I’m the Bulldogs power forward and only (at the moment) female player...

Ethan: Good to see that they can progress forward. We haven’t had a woman on our team… since 2000 and what was it?

Player: 2006.

Ethan: Well, nice of us to meet you all.

Patrick: Who are you dudes and why can’t I eat you?

Ethan: Yes! I forgot.. The members of my team are… starting off with my small forward player - Benny Talkdane; my centre player - Keith Lato; shooting guard - James Crowforward; power forward - Daniel Leeds and my assistant coach - Brandon Luey.

[The Bulldogs leave with Keith having a ‘ticked off’ look with Larry for destroying his phone.]

SpongeBob: (confused) I have a weird feeling that the team is a rip-off.

Kobe: Even if they are… no-one’s going to report them for copyright.

[In a nearby tree, a YouTube copyright bot overhears their conversation and decides to hack in and delete any videos that has ‘The Last Generation Legends’ in. There was 365,000 results… now there is none.]

SpongeBob: I’ll check on YouTube.

[He finds no videos.]

SpongeBob: What the hell? No videos? Who could have… (turns around to see the YouTube copyright bot in the tree. He runs to the tree.)

Kobe: I think that’s it for the day… Sponge?

[SpongeBob kicks the tree and the bot falls down to the ocean floor, removing his head to be Adam.]

SpongeBob: You again? What’s up with you lately…?

Adam: I’m bored… Venice is just…

[Larry spots him and rushes towards of him like a lion. Adam rushes out of the suit and away from them.]

Larry: That’s for making me gay!

Lexi: You were gay all along?

Larry: Adam gave me and SpongeBob glasses to make us gay. Coach fell for it.

Kobe: What?! I have a thing… for people…

[Everyone looks at him awkwardly.]

Kobe: Shut up… let’s go back.

[Later, they arrive in as the laptop pings can be heard in the gym.]

Kobe: Oops… forgot to turn it off.

SpongeBob: Kobe, shouldn’t we check what’s on there now?

[He looks… the POBA have sent him a new email.]

Kobe: Turns out we have one more team to meet.

[Patrick gets his knife and fork.]

SpongeBob: No, not yet.

[He then puts them back.]

Kobe: These ones are the New Kelp Warriors.

Larry: So why did you decide to not tell us until we got to their gym.

Kobe: Don’t know… just decided to it for fun.

[They come in as the team have shirt guns.]

Player: What are you doing here, get out. This is confidential!

Larry: What’s wrong with you, asshole?

Player: I’m giving you a minute to get out…

Coach: Stand down…

Player: But sir…

Coach: I know what he’s like.

Kobe: You’re a fan?

Coach: TV. Never seen you live.

Kobe: I’ll send you tickets. But the POBA have told us to meet you, so we’ll do it anyways.

Coach: Cool. The name’s Seth Kirk.

SpongeBob: Before we get introduced to everyone, Seth. Why are everyone acting like the US Army?

Seth: Eh… Keeps up some strength, usage and courage.

Kobe: Yeah.. I’ll keep some pointers on that.

[Everyone starts to scowl.]

Seth: So, that’s Steve Corey; Karl Thompkins; Andrew Ignacio; Daniel Garnett and Anthony Bogues.

SpongeBob: Now they sound like…

[Patrick tapes his mouth as Lexi shoves them out.]

Lexi: Sorry coach, we’ll see you back at the gym.

Kobe: He’s a bit cranky today… thinking that certain teams are rip-offs of other ones. He thought that the ‘Last Generation Legends’ were a rip-off of the New York Knicks back about 10 years ago, in which a copyright bot came down but it was really their old enemy Adam Smith in which Larry here scared him away.

[The last part of the conversation was in Kobe’s mind and Seth has only heard up to the 10 years ago part.]

Seth: Don’t know who the Knicks are. But if I did, I would agree. I’ll see you first match.

Kobe: Could be the only one.

Seth: Don’t bet on it.

[He closes the gym doors on them.]

Kobe: I will…

[Back at the Bulldogs gym. SpongeBob and Kobe are there at night.]

Kobe: So, if we’ve seen them… the Cebu Elites and the Krusty Krushers. Who can be next… it… it doesn’t feel like a full league.

SpongeBob: Kobe… stop it… leave it for a while.

Kobe: I can’t. Why are we still stuck in god-damn pre-season mode?!

SpongeBob: Because we have to be. Start too early and we won’t be able to win.

Kobe: You think this is all about winning and losing basketball games.

SpongeBob: That’s what it used to be. That’s what it will always be.

Kobe: Some days in my head, I think I can do this… But on others…. I can’t,

SpongeBob: You have to… you are the only one left.

Kobe: Alright then… but we’ll have to start the real practices now…

SpongeBob: We will…

Kobe: No faking out this time… just the real stuff.

SpongeBob: I know..

[As he leaves… we see Adam watching somewhere as he does an evil smirk and walks off… to the mystery of where he went.]
