[SpongeBob enters the gym 10 minutes before practice]
SpongeBob: Hey, Coach! I'm early!
[LeBron is smoking weed]
LeBron: AHH!!! (holds the joint behind his back) SpongeBob! What are you doing here...
SpongeBob: Figured I'm come a little early and warm up.
LeBron: Oh, well....carry on. (runs to the bathroom)
SpongeBob: That man is insane.
[SpongeBob grabs a basketball and begins shooting]
Patrick: (enters) Hey, SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: (shoots, the ball hits the backboard and comes down, hitting Patrick in the face)
[Patrick is left unconscious; he slowly gains consciousnous after 5 minutes]
SpongeBob: Patrick! ….Patrick!
Patrick: (slowly opens eyes) Uh........where am I?
SpongeBob: I knocked you out with a basketball...sorry.
Patrick: (begins feeling himself)
SpongeBob: Whoa, bro....
Patrick: No, I can't find Kevin.
SpongeBob: Dafuh?
Patrick: My manakin head. Kevin! I was holding him when....AH! There he is!
[He points to the parking lot]
Larry: (drives his truck directly over Kevin the manakin head)
Patrick: NOOO! They killed Kevin!!!
LeBron: (coming back from the bathroom) Haha! I see what you did there.
Patrick: (stares at him)
LeBron: Get it? Cuz.....South Park....
Patrick: (stares at him)
LeBron: I'll be in the bathroom. (runs off)
[Larry hops out of his truck]
Larry: Mornin' fellas!
[Patrick lunges after him]
Patrick: AHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Larry: AHHHHHHH!!!!!
[Larry wakes up in the hospital]
Larry: What just happened....
[SpongeBob and LeBron are in the hospital room holding flowers and balloons]
SpongeBob: Patrick tried to kill you.
LeBron: Because you ran over his manakin head.
Doctor: (sniffs LeBron) Is that weed?
LeBron: ….....(jumps out the window)
Doctor: That was harsh. I was just running low on my supply.
SpongeBob: …...
Doctor: (looks at his clipboard) So, anyway, a couple of days and you'll be good to go, Lobster Boy!
Larry: That's cool and all, Doc. But where's Patrick?
Doctor: You mean the psycopath who tried to murder you?
SpongeBob: He's in prison....I'm visiting him after this.
Larry: Oh.......welp.....
LeBron: (from outside) Hey, Doc? I think I broke my arm out here!
Doctor: (sigh) Coming.
[Scene cuts to Patrick groaning and grunting in dark prison cell]
Patrick: Grrr.......huff.......Puff......
Mrs. Puff: Someone say Puff?
Patrick: Hey, its Big Fat Meanie! What are you doing here?
Mrs. Puff: Well, my boyfriend called me fat.....I had road rage....and now I'm here.
Patrick: Epic story.
Mrs. Puff: You?
Patrick: Larry killed my manakin head.
Mrs. Puff: …...(slowly backs up, and then runs away)
Patrick: (sigh)
[Lexi, SpongeBob, Squidward, Plankton, and Krabs enter the prison to visit]
Patrick: Leave me alone, guys.
Lexi: (kisses him through the bars)
Patrick:.....okay, you can stay.
SpongeBob: Patrick, are you insane? Why'd you make such a big deal over a stupid manakin head?
Patrick: (sigh) I didn't wanna tell you guys this. But here it comes.
Squidward: I hear a flashback coming.
Patrick: It was the summer of 1983....
SpongeBob: Hold up. You weren't even born until 1989.
Patrick: Good point. It was the summer of 1989....
[Flashback begins]
Patrick: (narrating) I was just entering middle school....
Squidward: (interrupting) That doesn't make any sense! On multiple leves!
Patrick: Shuddap! Anyway, I had no friends. I sat at the loser table.....by myself. Even the losers rejected me. Until one year.....I wished for a pony. I wished and wished. As hard as I could. And when Chrismas finally came around-
Plankton: YOU GOT A PONY?
[Awkward silence]
Plankton: Hey, friendship is magic, people! #brony
Patrick: No. My parents told me ponies can't live underwater. So they got me a manakin head...named Kevin.
Squidward: Kevin?
Patrick: Kevin. He was my greatest friend. He got me through my parents' divorce. He got me through bullying, suicidal thoughts, and dark times throughout my life. He was the only person I knew loved me. He kept me warm every night. He was my only true friend. He made me the man I am today.
Squidward: A bafoon?
Patrick: Shush! Anyway, now I have all of you great friends. And an awesome girlfriend. But without Kevin.....it's like losing a piece of me.
SpongeBob: (sniff) That is so sad....
Plankton: (balling) I can hardly contain myself!
Squidward: Oh, come on people. It's a manakin head!
Lexi: I'm with Squidward! You gotta get over it!
Patrick: No, babe. I cannot move on.
Lexi: You're moving on. We gotta bust you outta here.
Squidward: How are we gonna do that?
[Mr. Krabs is arguing with Mrs. Puff through the bars]
Krabs: I wasn't trying to call you fat, dear!
Mrs. Puff: Oh really? Then what were you saying?
Krabs: Ummm.....ya see, I called you.....uh.....overweight.
Mrs. Puff: That's it. (angrily busts through the bars and chases Krabs into the distance)
Lexi: Pefect! The bars are open!
SpongeBob: Come on, Pat!
Patrick: Coming! (he escapes, and the gang leaves)
[Scene cuts to Patrick's house; SpongeBob, Lexi, and Patrick are inside]
Patrick: (looking at a picture of Kevin) Sniff.....this was us in the 4th grade.
SpongeBob: You didn't even get him until middle school!
Lexi: Which he started the year he was born, apparently.
SpongeBob: During the summer too.
Patrick: Okay, my stories make no sense. But c'mon. SpongeBob, you're my best friend, right?
SpongeBob: Right.
Patrick: And Lexi. You're my girlfriend, right?
Lexi: Right.
Patrick: Well.....(starts wailing) DO SOMETHING!!!
Lexi: Okay, okay, calm down.
SpongeBob: Yeah, Pat. It's killing me to see you like this.
Lexi: That's it! SpongeBob, can I talk to you for a minute?
SpongeBob: Sure, what's up?
Lexi: (whispering) Look, I know it's not normal for a man his age to have a manakin head. That's just not right.
SpongeBob: I'm listening.
Lexi: And Patrick thinks of Kevin as a person. So.....if we can convince him that he'll see Kevin in Heaven, then maybe he'll accept it more.
SpongeBob: Worth a shot!
Lexi: Hey, Patrick....
Patrick: (sniff) Yes?
Lexi: So, uh....Kevin lived a great life.
Patrick: Don't remind me....(eyes wattering)
Lexi: But, uh, ya know......one day in Heaven....you'll see him again.
Patrick: Really?
Lexi: Of course.
SpongeBob: When you're dead.
Patrick: (sniff) ….But I don't WANNA DIE!!! (starts balling)
Lexi: Nice going, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: Heh-heh....sorry.
[There is a knock at the door]
SpongeBob: (answers) Not a good time!
[Larry is standing there on crutches]
Larry: Hey, uh, it's me.
Patrick: YOU! IMMA KILL YOU!
Lexi: (holds him back) What do you want, Larry?
Larry: I felt so bad about what happened. So here. I wanted you to have something. (he holds up Kevin, perfectly repaired)
Patrick: KEVIN!!! (runs up to him, hugs him, and kisses him)
SpongeBob: You fixed it?
Larry: Yup. It was easy. Just took it to my garage, and-
Patrick: Oh this is great!!!!
[LeBron busts into the house]
LeBron: I need to SMOKE! Anybody got a lighter?
Larry: Uh, yeah, here ya go. (hands him a lighter)
LeBron: YES! (he turns on the lighter, accidentally setting fire to Kevin)
Patrick: AHH! Kevin's on FIRE!
[Kevin is burnt into a pile of ashes]
SpongeBob: No!!! They killed Kevin!!!
LeBron: Lol. South Park.
Patrick: NOT FUNNY!
[The camera pans to an outside view of Patrick's house; we hear screaming and pounding]
Larry: (from inside) AHH!!!! That wasn't even MY FAULT!!!
Patrick: I don't CARE!!!!
[We hear glass breaking as Larry screaming like a little girl]
