This article is a transcript of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Arrgh!" from season 1, which aired on March 15, 2000.
- Mr. Krabs: [looks around the Krusty Krab with a telescope] Where could they be? They should've been here hours ago! Arrgh! Not a customer in sight. If I don't make any money today, I'll surely break out in a rash!
- SpongeBob: Yippee! I'm rich! Look, Patrick, eight gold doubloons!
- Mr. Krabs: Wait, I saw it first! Hyah! [jumps onto the table and sweats] Mine, mine! Huh?!
- SpongeBob: Boy, Mr. Krabs, you sure are sweaty.
- Mr. Krabs: What's this? Where are the doubloons?
- SpongeBob: [laughs] There are no real doubloons, Mr. Krabs! It's a game: "The Flying Dutchman's Treasure Hunt."
- Patrick: Based on a real treasure map.
- SpongeBob: Take a break and play around with us.
- Patrick: Yeah! C'mon, sweaty.
- Mr. Krabs: Have you finished cleanin’ the tables?
- SpongeBob: I cleaned the tables, Mr. Krabs!
- Mr. Krabs: Aye, but did you scrape all the gum off the underside?
- SpongeBob: [chewing gum along with Patrick] I already took care of it.
- Mr. Krabs: Ha ha ha. All right, lads. Looks like you've shanghaied me.
- Patrick: My turn. [rolls the dice] 5. [makes a raspberry noise while moving piece, then reads a card] One of your shipmates has been a bad pirate! Send him to the brig! Hmmm. [SpongeBob turns his eyes toward Mr. Krabs] It's off to jail for you, Mr. Krabs.
- Mr. Krabs: Patrick, you're fired!
- Patrick: But I don't even work here!
- Mr. Krabs: Would you like a job, startin’ now? [puts a hat on Patrick's head]
- Patrick: Boy, would I?!
- Mr. Krabs: [takes the hat off Patrick's head] You're fired!
- SpongeBob: My turn. [rolls the dice] 1, 2, 3, 4. [picks up the card and reads it] Look for the Deacon's Goose thru the fork in the old tree and head that way. [looks through the hole in the tree] Well, I see Mr. Krabs' zipper is undone.
- Mr. Krabs: [gasps] Shiver me timbers!
- SpongeBob: [laughs] Just kidding, Mr. Krabs. I'm almost to the treasure. Your turn again, Mr. Krabs.
- Mr. Krabs: [rolls the dice] Ooh, fish eyes. 1, 2.
- SpongeBob: [picks up card and reads it] You are a real pirate. Go straight to the "X" that marks the spot. You get to dig for treasure, Mr. Krabs!
- Mr. Krabs: Treasure? [digs with a small toy shovel and a mini plastic treasure chest appears] There it is! It's the Flying Dutchman's Treasure! Gold, gold, gold! Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine! [starts sweating profusely]
- SpongeBob: Hey, Mr. Krabs is getting all sweaty again.
- Fred: [walks into the Krusty Krab] Rev up those fryers, 'cause I am sure hungry for one-- [Mr. Krabs picks him up, holds him over his head, and heads for the door] Help! Help! [Mr. Krabs throws him out the door] My leg!
- Mr. Krabs: Can't you see we're closed?! [rushes back to the game table] Ready for another round? This is my kind of game!
- SpongeBob and Patrick: Hooray!
- Mr. Krabs: 6! 1, 2... [scenery changes from day to night. SpongeBob and Patrick are tired; Patrick is even asleep on the table] I win again! Oh, that's 17 times in a row.
- SpongeBob: [very tired] I think we oughta call it a night, Mr. Krabs. I really gotta get some sleep.
- Mr. Krabs: Oh, you can't walk out on me now.
- SpongeBob: I'm sorry, Mr. Krabs. [yawns, then slings Patrick over his shoulder and carries him out] See you tomorrow. [walks inside his house after bringing Patrick home. Rattling noises heard] Huh? Who's there? [turns a light on]
- Mr. Krabs: Come on, SpongeBob. One more game. I can smell the treasure.
- SpongeBob: [pushes Mr. Krabs outside] Mr. Krabs, it's late. Go to bed! Good night, Mr. Krabs. [closes the door, but Mr. Krabs is inside the house once again]
- Mr. Krabs: Wind is perfect, the tide is right. Let's hunt for treasure.
- SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs, you gotta... [opens the door, and Mr. Krabs is now outside]
- Mr. Krabs: Tread softly, lad. If the Dutchman hears you, we'll never get his treasure.
- SpongeBob: But, Mr. Krabs...
- Mr. Krabs: I'll roll for you, boy.
- SpongeBob: But, Mr...
- Mr. Krabs: [rolls the dice] 8 paces, north, that's a good start, lad.
- SpongeBob: But, Mr...
- Mr. Krabs: 1, 2, 3...
- SpongeBob: [yelling in frustration] Mr. Krabs, I wanna go to bed! [pauses] Mr. Krabs, I'm sorry, but it's just a game, ya know?
- Mr. Krabs: A game. That's... right. Of course it is, my mistake. [picks up the game board and folds it in half] I guess I got a little carried away, eh? Though it is treasure we're dealin’ with here. Sorry, for disturbin’ ya, lad. [walks away while SpongeBob shuts the door. Morning arrives, and then the clam "rooster" crows everyone up.] Avast! Pineapple, ho. Heave two, and prepare to be boarded.
- SpongeBob: Aw, go home already. [gets out of bed and looks out the window] I'm done playing that game, Mr. Krabs.
- Mr. Krabs: That’s Captain Krabs to you, and this is no game. We're gonna be pirates.
- SpongeBob: [excited] Pirates?
- Mr. Krabs: Aye! How'd you like to go on a real treasure hunt, with a real treasure map?
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [Patrick appears from the side of SpongeBob's house] Treasure? [dancing around] We're gonna be pirates, we're gonna be pirates!
- Mr. Krabs: Ay, ay, ay. Belay that skippin’. Pirates don't skip. [throws them a bag of pirate stuff] Put on this pirate garb, so I won't be embarrassed to be seen with ya. Arrgh.
- SpongeBob: Oh, Patrick. Look! Peg legs and eye patches.
- Mr. Krabs: Now, don't you feel more like pirates?
- SpongeBob: [walks towards the plank using two peg legs] Look, I'm Peggy the Pirate! [falls on the plank]
- Patrick: [walks towards the plank with two separate eye patches covering his eyes] I'm Blindbeard the Pirate. [falls on SpongeBob] Ow.
- Mr. Krabs: Arrgh! [fade to ship sailing across in midair] Keep a sharp lookout, SpongeBob. Accordin’ to the map, we're close to the first landmark.
- SpongeBob: Really? Can we see the map?
- Mr. Krabs: Uh... no! Only the captain can lay eyes on the map.
- SpongeBob: Okie dokie, then.
- Mr. Krabs: Arrgh, a pirate doesn't say, "okie dokie, then." A pirate says, "arrgh!"
- SpongeBob: Okie... oops. [laughs while a jellyfish flies by him] I mean... [standing up] arrgh! Captain Krabs. [his eyes widen and sees a rock nearby] Captain, we're about to hit... uhh... I mean... arrgh, Capt., arrgh, we're, arrgh, about, arrgh, to hit, arrgh...
- Mr. Krabs: Out with it man, arrgh!
- Patrick: I, arrgh, think, arrgh, he's trying, arrgh, to say...! [crash] land...
- Mr. Krabs: Arrgh! From now on, only the captain says, arrgh! Status report, Mr. SquarePants?
- SpongeBob: The whole ship is underwater captain.
- Mr. Krabs: Arrgh, we're marooned then. Our treasure hunt will have to continue on foot. This is it, boys, from the seaweed with 2 leaves on it. 10,000 paces east.
- SpongeBob: But, Mr. Krabs, that seaweed has... [Mr. Krabs pulls a leaf off] Which way, cap'n?
- Mr. Krabs: Ensign Patrick, which way is east?
- Patrick: Uhh... let's see, uhh... [points] that way, captain!
- Mr. Krabs: 9,997... 9,998... 9,999... 10,000! Where's the "X"? Supposed to be right here! 10,000 paces east.
- Patrick: Ooh! East? I thought you said "weast"!
- Mr. Krabs: Weast? What kind of compass you readin’, lad?
- Patrick: This one, sir.
- Mr. Krabs: That's west, Patrick. You're fired again. [cuts to the crew walking again in the opposite direction, which they should’ve done in the first place] 9,551... 9,552...
- SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs, we're tired.
- Patrick: And hungry.
- Mr. Krabs: Oh, so this is my crew. You get a little tired, and a wee bit hungry, and you wanna shove off for home. Arrgh! That sickens me. A pirate is not judged by the notches in his cutlass, or by the size of his booty. A pirate is judged by the loyalty of his crew. And without a loyal crew... [one of SpongeBob's eyes fill up with tears] what am I captain of? Just... a bunch of sand! [cries]
- Patrick: Don't cry, Captain Krabs.
- SpongeBob: [sniffles and crying] Yeah, we'll be your loyal crew. [both cry]
- Mr. Krabs: You'll stay with me then?
- SpongeBob and Patrick: We'll be the most loyal pirate crew ever!
- Mr. Krabs: I knew I could count on you boys. One for all!
- SpongeBob and Patrick: And all for one! [laying on ground at night outside tent]
- SpongeBob: I'm so loyal, I don't even mind sleeping on the cold, hard ground while Captain Krabs sleeps in his warm, dry tent.
- Patrick: I'm so loyal, I haven't bathed in weeks.
- SpongeBob: But we've only been gone a few hours.
- Patrick: I know. [chuckles. SpongeBob moves away]
- SpongeBob: I'm so loyal, I don't wanna sleep till we find the treasure. Let's go see if the captain will go now!
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [entering the tent] Captain Krabs?
- SpongeBob: He's not here.
- Patrick: Look! The treasure map.
- SpongeBob: Only the captain can look at the map, Patrick.
- Patrick: [walks toward the map] Yeah...
- SpongeBob: Patrick, what are you doing?
- Patrick: Nothing.
- SpongeBob: Patrick, you're not supposed to look at the map. [Patrick touches the map]
- Patrick: I'm not looking, I'm touching. There's no rule against that, is there?
- SpongeBob: No, guess there isn't. [both poking the map, until it opens] Oops! Patrick, it opened by itself. [Both laugh. Their eyes enlarge and search the map]
- SpongeBob and Patrick: The map, the map, gotta see it, gotta look at it. [Their eyes freeze for a second and then pop back in their heads; their eyes become black.]
- Patrick: SpongeBob?
- SpongeBob: Yeah?
- Patrick: Did you notice something familiar about this map?
- SpongeBob: You mean, like that it's our game board taped to a piece of paper?
- Mr. Krabs: [appearing right behind them and angry] Do you think this is a problem?
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [scream] Mr. Krabs!
- Mr. Krabs: Sneakin’ peeks at me treasure map?
- Patrick: We're sorry.
- Mr. Krabs: That's mutiny on my ship. So you think ol' Captain Krabs has gone crazy, do ye?
- SpongeBob: Not at all, Captain Krabs. We don't think that at all!
- Patrick: I think that.
- Mr. Krabs: I'm gonna throw ya overboard for sayin’ that!
- [SpongeBob and Patrick both begged for mercy and then the "X" symbol appeared underneath them.]
- SpongeBob: [gasps] Look! It's the "X."
- Mr. Krabs: [eyes go into "X" like symbol] "X" marks the spot!
- SpongeBob: Wow! That game really is based on a real treasure map.
- Mr. Krabs: Well, what are you waitin’ for, lads? [SpongeBob and Patrick both start digging.] Dig! Dig! [minutes later] Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig.
- SpongeBob: We got it, Captain Krabs.
- Mr. Krabs: Ha, ha. Hand it up to me, lads. Heave! [brings the treasure up] We finally found it. [opens up the treasure chest]
- Female Chorus: The Dutchman's Treasure!
- All: Wow!
- SpongeBob: What are you gonna do with your share, Patrick?
- Patrick: I don't know. How are you gonna spend your share, SpongeBob?
- Mr. Krabs: What shares? You're not gettin’ any of my treasure!
- SpongeBob: We found it together. So we deserve a share!
- Mr. Krabs: Well, I'm the captain. And I say it's mine!
- SpongeBob: What about loyalty?
- [all three are now fighting over the treasure chest]
- Mr. Krabs: All for one.
- SpongeBob: And one for all.
- Mr. Krabs: All for one.
- SpongeBob: And one for all.
- Mr. Krabs: All for one.
- SpongeBob: And one for all.
- Flying Dutchman: [sleeping] I'm the Flyin’ Dutchman.
- Mr. Krabs: All for one.
- SpongeBob: And one for all.
- Flying Dutchman: [sleeping] I'm the Flyin’ Dutchman. [wakes up] Who dares wake the Flyin’ Dutchman? Keep it down will ya? I'm tryna get some sleep. [noticing them fighting over the treasure chest] Huh?
- Mr. Krabs: All for one.
- SpongeBob and Patrick: One for all. [lightning strikes]
- Flying Dutchman: Who dug up the Dutchman's treasure?
- Mr. Krabs: [shoves the chest toward SpongeBob and Patrick] They did!
- Flying Dutchman: Arrgh! [picks up the treasure chest] So you two scallywags dug up me treasure?
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [hugging each other in fear] Uh-huh!
- Flying Dutchman: Well, you saved me a lot of diggin' you did. So here's a reward for the two of ya's.
- [The Flying Dutchman gives them two gold doubloons]
- SpongeBob: Wow!
- Female Chorus: Two gold doubloons!
- [SpongeBob and Patrick take the doubloons and the Flying Dutchman puts away his treasure chest in his pocket.]
- Mr. Krabs: Wait! I'm captain of this crew! Where's my reward?
- Flying Dutchman: Hmm, I guess you're right. A little somethin’ for your trouble. [flicks something to Mr. Krabs]
- Mr. Krabs: Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold! [a tiny plastic treasure chest] Huh? Why, it's just a little plastic treasure chest!
- Female Chorus: Plastic!
- Flying Dutchman: Aye, but it's based on a real treasure chest. [laughs]
- Patrick: Gee, Mr. Krabs, you're lookin’ all sweaty again.
- [Flying Dutchman turns into green smoke and vanishes.]
