Transcript
[The episode starts with a nice, sunny day in Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob and Gary are getting ready for work, per usual].

SpongeBob: Alrighty Gar-bear, you ready for work today?

Gary: Meow, meow! (Yes)

SpongeBob: Good to hear. Well [looks at watch] it is only 5:30 AM but being early can’t hurt!

[SpongeBob and Gary march towards the outside of the police headquarters where Butch is standing with red bulging eyes and veins popping out of his forehead].

SpongeBob: Is everything okay Butch? You look… enraged.

Butch: Damn right I am! Look, my Police Squad Inspector, Derrel Smith, claimed that my police fish need to be stronger as they have been proven weak. [Gary looks around unworried. Butch then looks at Gary. That includes Snail-9 units. Gary then shakes]. Today I will put you through one single test and only the toughest police-fish prevail! The ones that fail, well, let’s just they are TOTAL WIMPS. Do I make myself clear you two?

SpongeBob and Gary: [Nod because they are speechless].

Butch: I said… Do. I. Make. Myself. CLEAR?

SpongeBob: Uh, yes sir.

Gary: Meow, meow.

Butch: Good. Now since you two came here early… you two will be the first to enter the challenge that will prove if you are worthy to the squad. Congratulations [Rolls eyes]. Alright, first challenge, capturing a robber, who is obviously a robot, without killing him. His gun is loaded with dangerous Shark Bullets. Ready? Simulation… start!

SpongeBob: Oh boy…

[A robber is seen threatening another robot (how convenient), and pointing a gun at the other robot. The innocent robot hands over a money bag and the robber makes a run for it]. [SpongeBob and Gary run after him].

SpongeBob: Gary you take left flank, I take right.

[They continue to run until they reach a nearby forest and the robber robot bumps into a tree, causing him to fall down. His gun skims the ground and spirals out of reach].

SpongeBob: [Picks up gun, and place handcuffs on the arms of the robot].

SpongeBob: Say where’s Gary? [SpongeBob picks up his walkie talkie from his belt]. Gary? Gary I have the culprit in cuffs at the moment. Gary? Are you there or did you forget to place the walkie talkie underneath your shell? [Sighs]. That’s going to cost us big time with Mr. B. Well thief you will be taken to-

Robber: It’s not what it looks like! Give me some time to speak will ya? That innocent individual over there, she took my money and was planning to keep it for herself! She was the one who robbed me! I was planning to take it back since she had me at gunpoint!

Real Robber: Damn right! [Points gun at SpongeBob]

SpongeBob: Place your hands up, buddy! [Aims gun and takes cover].

Real Robber: Oh I’m not here for you. [Takes out a Hand-Cuff Cutter and slices the Hand-cuffs placed on the “Framed” robot]. See man, this all works out. Ever think that there could be two robbers. Yeah right. [Does a somersault over the large rock SpongeBob was behind, and shoots him in the leg, causing SpongeBob to be temporarily paralyzed]. Scumbob.

[Butch walks over and he appears to get more angry].

Butch: Stop the simulation, stop it! [The robots deactivate and fall to the ground]. Call the freaking ambulance, we have officially TWO wimp who could not handle a simple situation.

SpongeBob: [mutters] Gary.

[The episode cuts to the hospital, where SpongeBob and Gary are just about wrapped up].

[Butch lurks outside of the door and then comes in with a speechless look on his face].

Butch: Dammit, how could I hire such wimps? Ughh makes me shudder to the bone. You guys are such… SLACKERS. Man, when I hired you, I thought you would be loyal to the job. But now look at you. Relaxing on a hospital bed all treated? You two were the only ones that failed the simulation. That’s right, when everybody else came, they did not fail! Not a single bit of them! All 26 of them! You two should feel ashamed.

SpongeBob: Bu- me and Gary are loyal to the job! We swear!

Butch: Mhm. Sure. And I suppose you can’t prove it?

[SpongeBob and Gary hop out of the hospital bed, as they were feeling better]

[A drug dealer runs by carrying all sorts of illegal products].

[SpongeBob and Gary sprint towards the drug dealer and tackle him to the ground. They place cuffs around his wrists].

SpongeBob: See?

Butch: [Rolls eyes]. Anybody could do that.

[The episode then cuts to a brief montage of SpongeBob and Gary attempting to prove that they have work ethic and are dedicated to the job; overall not slackers, from stopping fish from shoplifting to fish illegally hunting clams. And with each attempt, Butch disapproves].

SpongeBob: Well I am out of ideas. Come on, Gary. It’s obvious we are not capable of the job.

Gary: Meow, meow (Agrees).

Butch: [Sighs], well there is one thing you can do that will erase the word “Wimp” from your name.

SpongeBob: What is it?

Butch: Redoing the simulation, with 100% success. SpongeBob: [Looks worried, but courage then floods within him]. Let’s do it.

[Butch starts the simulation, SpongeBob and Gary stick together as they chase the robber. They handcuff the robber and the robber continues to complain].

SpongeBob: We have to have you in cuffs at the moment until we have this figured out.

[The other robot comes in and fires random shots at SpongeBob and Gary, but they dodge for cover].

SpongeBob: In this case, we have to defend our lives. Wait…. I have only one bullet left in my gun? Butch… well here goes nothing, every shot counts. [SpongeBob aims the gun at the leg of the robot and fires. The bullet hits the leg causing the robot to fall to the ground. SpongeBob puts cuffs around the robot and takes the two robot’s guns away from them]. So.. you two were working together eh?

Robot: Yes.

SpongeBob: Welp, time to take you in. [SpongeBob and Gary walk the two robots over to Butch and Butch disables the simulation].

Butch: Look guys, I- I- I am sorry for treating you two with disrespect when you were injured. I was just worried that my squad was weak and, I just want to apologize. Congratulations on passing guys.

SpongeBob: Butch, it’s fine. I’m happy to be in this squad and we got your back man.
