Transcript
Script: (Episode begins with SpongeBob taking a stroll in Kelp Forest, mostly over the fact that he almost got eaten by baby hawks)

SpongeBob: (singing) Doo-doo-doo, strolling in the woods. Doo-doo-doo, strolling in the woods. Doo-doo-doo…

???: (also singing) Yes, Papa?

SpongeBob: (still singing) Interrupting song?

???: (singing) No, Papa.

SpongeBob: Hold up a second. Who are you?

???: Molly. Who’re you?

SpongeBob: SpongeBob.

Molly: Weird name you got there.

SpongeBob: I know. Blame my parents.

Molly: (laughs) Yeah. How did you get here anyway?

SpongeBob: In a nutshell, I got lost in Kelp Forest, then a hawk caught me and brought me up here, I escaped, and here I am now.

Molly: Dang. That’s quite an adventure.

SpongeBob: Yeah, I hope it’s over now. Kinda doubt it though…

Molly: I’ve been lost here in the wilderness for five years. I wonder what my parents are doing right now… It’s a large forest, you know.

SpongeBob: No kidding. It’s like a maze.

Molly: Too bad we suck at mazes. (laughs)

SpongeBob: (laughs) Yeah, I guess we do. Anyways, I gotta go do spongy things. Bye.

Molly: Can I come? I got nothing else to do right now, and you seem chill.

SpongeBob: Sure.

Molly: Woo!

(They keep silent for a few moments)

SpongeBob: So, tell me the whole story on how you got lost here.

Molly: Okay. Well, it all started when… (start of flashback) I was taking my morning stroll in the woods, when suddenly a weird sludge monster kidnapped me and took me deeper into the woods, and into its lair. Somehow the next morning I managed to escape, and since this is Kelp Forest after all, it would be near impossible to escape. So, I just decided to stay there. And here I am now.

SpongeBob: That’s all?

Molly: Yup. Pretty boring story, huh? But sometimes life can be pretty boring.

SpongeBob: Sure can be. I bet Patrick and Squidward are sitting down, doing absolutely nothing.

Molly: You’re not alone? You’re lucky you have friends. I myself have none. Not since Sally broke up with me three years ago.

SpongeBob: Oh.

Molly: She was a jerk to me from the start, anyways. I’m glad we broke up.

SpongeBob: I’ve never had a girlfriend before, surprisingly.

Molly: I’ve had three girlfriends before. All of which turned out to be absolute jerks in the end. Never trust anybody.

SpongeBob: Yeah. (they see a fork in their path) Let’s go to the right.

Molly: Are you sure? I think we should go to the left.

SpongeBob: I’ve been here before. I even know where that sea spider is, right there. (points to somewhere over to the left, where a spider is seen creating a new web)

Molly: Oh, guess you’re right. Let’s go right. (They go right) Uh, SpongeBob?

SpongeBob: Yes?

Molly: Something about this place seems… off.

SpongeBob: Yeah, this place seems pretty fishy. I don’t know why though.

Molly: Maybe it’s that weird pair of eyeballs in that bush over there.

(The pair of eyes blink, which causes the two to jump back)

SpongeBob: Yeah, that’s why.

(A sea monster jumps out of the bush and roars)

Molly: Run!

(They make a run for it, turning every corner quickly as possible. The sea monster follows them the whole way)

SpongeBob: How can we lose him?

Molly: Good thing I was a girl scout. All you need to do is hide in a bush. Classic Fortnite skill.

SpongeBob: Ew, Fortnite. But I’ll use it if it helps us.

Molly: It will. Let’s go.

(They hide behind the nearest bush. The sea monster sees the bush, but doesn’t suspect anything of it)

(The two sigh with relief)

SpongeBob: That was a close one. Let’s move forward.

(They stop moving when they see a small opening of light. SpongeBob pushes the grass out of the way to reveal his campsite)

Molly: Is this your campsite?

SpongeBob: It sure is.

Molly: Looks good.

SpongeBob: Thanks. A whole week took us there.

Molly: Can I join?

SpongeBob: Sure.

Molly: Woo-hoo! (she runs towards the campsite, only to bump right into Patrick)

Patrick: (screams) Who the heck are you?!

Molly: Uh… Molly?

Patrick: That name sounds familiar. (shrugs) Oh well.

Molly: I met SpongeBob near the big mountain.

Patrick: Oh. Well in that case, welcome aboard!

Molly: Thanks… uh, what’s your name?

Patrick: Patrick.

Molly: Oh. Well thanks, Patrick. (Patrick blushes)

Squidward: What’s going on here? (sees Molly) Who is this girl?

(Title card shows up that says “To be continued…”, concluding the episode)
