The Ticket

Plot
Squidward gets a driving ticket because SpongeBob and Patrick "annoyed" him. The police tell Squidward it was twelth ticket this month and must be under probation for the next 24 hours. Squidward decides to walk to work to avoid a driving ticket. Once he gets to the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs asks him about his driving record. Squidward dosen't want to admit he got a ticket, espically to his boss, so he says it was fine. Mrs. Puff comes to the Krusty Krab and asks Squidward about his license. The events in Boating Budies repeats in his head, so he dosen't say anything. At the scene's end, Mrs. Puff drove away and is implied she broke the law again. To still avoid another one, Squidward walks back home. However, he runs into Pearl along the way. She asks him about his license. Of course, he says no. Plankton forces Squidward into the Chum Bucket. Squidward quickly says no, but Plankton dosen't know anything about it. Before he knew it, he told Plankton everything. Karen looks at Squidward in disgust. Quickly, Squidward runs away and runs into Gary. Gary meows, and then, in English, says "Driver's Lcense". Squidward screams and runs into his house. The clock says 7:02, the time he got the ticket. His 24 hours of suffering are over! But his boat wasn't there. A police officer laughs evily at Squidward and brings his car back. However, his car catches on fire and Squidward screams. Everyone in Bikinni Bottom starts to laugh- even SpongeBob! Suddenly, Squidward appears in bed and understands it was all just a dream. However, the officer holds a match and says wickedly, "Or was it?", causing a sign to have "The End?"
