Transcript
Deep Voice Futuristic Narrator: Previously, on FutureSponge!...[a montage of short clips from the last episode is shown. An alien invasion is shown, the gang are talking to the clones in the hospital, Zadminix is shown in 4017, and Zadminix surrenders, but aims a gun at them.]

Dr. Zadminix: [shoots gun] Die, ya damn fools! [the gang ducks behind a tree. SquidTron fires a rocket at Zadminix, destroying a lot of the area around him.] Hmm. Nice comeback. You won’t be able to counter this however! [upgrades gun with an extendo and rocket launcher and fires at the tree]

SpongeTron X: Guys, Y, Z, and I need to leave….we’re, uh, missing…..robo-training.

SquidTron: Really?

SpongeTron Y: Yeah, we’re not lying! [all three run away.]

SpongeTron: Eh...whatever. Zadminix thinks he’s such a threat. I’ll just make him surrender. [fires millions of projectiles with his robo-vision and injures him.]

Dr. Zadminix: [on the ground, injured, annoyed] Ugh, fine! You win...again!

SpongeTron: Told you that was easy. [Zadminix walks away infuriated and gets to his shack.]

Dr. Zadminix: Everytime I battle those fools, I lose! I always lose! This crap needs to stop. I will claim victory someday. Ugh. [someone is shown outside a window] Wait, what? [Zadminix walks to the window and sees someone.] Who the hell are you?

Guy: Oops, sorry for that. Anyway, I’m Richard Bodykiller. I heard about your troubles with a few people that keep beating you in battles. I’m a lawyer, so maybe we can take them to court!

Dr. Zadminix: [lets Richard in] Court? Is this even court-worthy? It’s not like they murdered me.

Richard: Well, true, but maybe we can get them in prison, where they belong.

Dr. Zadminix: Okay, I’m in. [cuts to the trio in their shack relaxing after a long week of battles.]

Patron: Man, that week was tiring.

SquidTron: Pat, you’re pretty much always tired…[SpongeTron X walks in]

SpongeTron X: Masters, it looks like Zadminix is at the door. [everybody looks at each other, wondering what will happen]

SpongeTron: Okay, let him in. [SpongeTron X opens the door and Zadminix walks in]

Dr. Zadminix: Thanks, clone. Anyway, SpongeTron, Patron, and SquidTron, I have something to tell you.

SquidTron: What is it, Zadminix.

SpongeTron: Are you finally surrendering for good?

Dr. Zadminix: [shakes head] No. I have four words: See you in court! [laughs]

SpongeTron: [stutters] Are...are you suing us?

Dr. Zadminix: Indeed I am. So long, blasted buffoons! [walks away laughing]

Patron: Welp, we’re screwed.

SquidTron: No, we’re not. We just need a defense, a lawyer, a plan, and…. [stops and SpongeTron looks at him] this is gonna more complicated than I thought. I really want to murder that damn fool Zadminix!

SpongeTron: Won’t that just get us into more trouble?

SquidTron: Yeah...you’re right. [thinks for a second, gets perfect idea] Hey! I thought of a good idea for our lawyer!

SpongeTron: Who?

SquidTron: You’ll see. [grins] [cuts to the day before the court case where Zadminix and Richard are talking about the case] Richard: Okay, doctor, it looks like the paperwork is done. We have a good case. We’re definitely gonna win this one.

Dr. Zadminix: Nice job, Richard. However, what if they try to kill us there?

Richard: Believe me. [zooms in] We’ll kill them first.

Dr. Zadminix: Yes...great idea...great idea indeed…[laughs maniacally with Richard, cuts to the day of the court case where SquidTron, SpongeTron, and Patron arrive at the courthouse.]

SpongeTron: SquidTron, where’s that lawyer you were talking about?

SquidTron: I….I actually don’t know. He should be here soon. [spots Zadminix and points a small gun at him] Ah….this is so tempting...but I can’t do it.

SpongeTron: Hey, Zadminix! Whine much?

Dr. Zadminix: I’m suing you for good reason! [cuts to inside the courthouse.]

SquidTron: Ugh….my fricking lawyer isn’t here yet. [phone vibrates] Wait..he’s here!

Judge: May I ask where the defendant's lawyer is?

SquidTron: He’s coming…[door opens, shows the be a ghost version of Abyss]

SpongeTron & Patron: Abyss?!

Ghost Abyss: Correct. I was actually glad SquidTron defeated me, since I am now free from that buffoon Zadminix.

SpongeTron: But didn’t you…

Ghost Abyss: I never liked him. Now, you honor?

Judge: Okay. We are here to discuss the case of Dr. Preston Zadminix and SpongeTron SquarePants, Patron Star, and SquidTron Tentacles. Is the plaintiff ready to proceed?

Dr. Zadminix: Thank you, your honor. Now, these three people have constantly been harassing me ever since they traveled to 4017 from 2017. They keep destroying me in battles and they almost murdered me. They keep injuring me and other things like that.

Judge: I’m sorry, but if they keep defeating you in battles, then they have a reason to be attacking you. May I hear who usually starts these battles? Dr. Zadminix: Certainly. [looks at Richard] Richard?

Richard: Right. [shuffles papers] Plaintiff calls SpongeTron to the stand. [cuts to SpongeTron at the stand]

Judge: Please raise your right hand to take the oath. [SpongeTron raises hand] Do you promise to testify under oath?

SpongeTron: I do.

Richard: SpongeTron, who starts these fights most of the time?

SpongeTron: That would be Zadminix. [Zadminix looks up, surprised]

Dr. Zadminix: What?

SpongeTron: While we are giving our opinion to him, he usually brings out weapons and threatens us.

Dr. Zadminix: That is not true.

Judge: [deadpan tone] He’s under oath, he’s not lying.

Dr. Zadminix: Ugh. [in disgust]

Judge: Does the defense have an opening statement?

Ghost Abyss: Yes, your honor. [gives SquidTron papers] SquidTron?

SquidTron: Alright. Here’s the full story. So one day…

Deep Voice Futuristic Narrator: One long, boring recap of what we already know later…

SquidTron: And that is exactly what...

Richard: Objection!

Judge: Overruled. [bangs mallet] So, is that really what happened?

SpongeTron: Yes. Zadminix is a liar and a fraud.

Dr. Zadminix: Damn. Well, your honor, I have footage of what happened at the time machine incident.

Judge: Oh, really? Let me see it. [Zadminix gives him the tape and pops it in. On a screen, footage is shown of what happened]

Richard: [whispers] Preston!

Dr. Zadminix: Yeah?

Richard: What the hell did that do for us?

Dr. Zadminix: ….you’re right…

Judge: Doctor, it seems as though you got frustrated and impatient because the defendants wanted to stay in 4017. That’s wrong on your part.

Richard: There’s no way we’re gonna win this, Preston.

Dr. Zadminix: Yeah, I know. It’s just that...these damn fools get away with so much.

Richard: Look who’s talking.

Judge: So, does anyone have anymore evidence or witnesses?

Ghost Abyss: Well, that video was pretty much all the evidence you needed.

Judge: True. Does the plaintiff have a closing statement? Defendants, same question?

Richard: [looks at Zadminix] Yes, your honor. I’d just like to show you how much chaos Bikini Bottom has been in since these three traveled in time. [shows a chart]

Judge: [examines chart] Hmm. So this was since the day they came?

Richard: Yes.

SquidTron: Objection, your honor. Coincidences are not proper evidence. The fact that that was the day we traveled in time does not mean we caused it.

Judge: I agree with the defendant.

Richard: Then….we have nothing.

Judge: [cuts to the Judge saying something] After seeing how stupid this case is….case dismissed. [bangs mallet]

Dr. Zadminix: Damn it! I can’t even beat these people in court! [everybody walks out of the courthouse]

Ghost Abyss: Good job, guys. Although that was fricking easy.

SquidTron: Yeah.

Dr. Zadminix: [angry] I’m...going...to...destroy these fiends once and for all! [fires gun at SquidTron]

SquidTron [gets hit, falls to ground] Ow! What the hell? [SpongeTron and Patron look at Zadminix]

Dr. Zadminix: [maniacally laughs] I will get you now! [episode ends]
