Squidward: [waking up] Well, of course. The food here is so terrible, I'm surprised they were here as long as they were.

Mr. Krabs: Oh, be quiet, Mr. Squidward. ''[Mr. Krabs walks off to his office, and pulls out something from his drawer.]'' Well, I said this when I was younger, if owning a restaurant doesn't work out, I can always do my Plan B.

SpongeBob: What's your Plan B, Mr. Krabs?

Mr. Krabs: [Yelling in surprise] SpongeBob, how many times have I told you not to sneak up on me like that?

SpongeBob: One thousand-three hundred-and-sixty-seven times.

Mr. Krabs: Okay.

SpongeBob: So what's your Plan B, Mr. Krabs?

Mr. Krabs: To be a pirate and get as much booty as I can.

SpongeBob: You know, Mrs. Puff...

Mr. Krabs: No, no, no, boy. Treasure!

SpongeBob: Oh, I see. [walking away and waving hand] Well, goodbye Mr. Kra-

Mr. Krabs: [grabbing SpongeBob and pulling him back] Why don't you be one of me crew members?

SpongeBob: Is that dangerous?

Mr. Krabs: Not at all. You just have to do the dirty work for me.

SpongeBob: Hmm, that sounds nice.
