Christmas Who?/transcript

Template:EpisodeTr/28

• [pan over live-action houses]
• Narrator: And now, direct from Encino, America's favorite pirate and president of the SpongeBob SquarePants fan club, Patchy the Pirate. ‘‘[The exterior of Patchy's house is shown. The name "Patchy" appears. Inside, Patchy is wrapping presents]
• Patchy: ’’ [to the tune of "Jingle Bells"] Yo ho ho, yo ho ho, yo ho ho ho ho ho. ‘‘[he notices he's on air] Oh! Hi. ‘‘[he waves] I'm Patchy the Pirate, president of the SpongeBob SquarePants fan club! ‘‘[He notices a long piece of confetti on his hook and tries to shake it off. He pulls on it and whacks himself in the eye, giving him a black eye. He switches his patch over to the other eye] Hey, that's better! ‘‘ [Potty, a puppet bird on strings, flies in]
• Potty: ’’ [squawk] Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
• Patchy: That's right, Potty! It is Christmas. ‘‘[he limps over to the fireplace] And there ain't nothing better in the seven seas than a Bikini Bottom Christmas. It sure is a magical time of year. ‘‘[he blows on his pipe, and bubbles emerge] Why, I'll bet old SpongeBob is gearing up for Santa Claus right now! ‘‘[He picks up a picture of SpongeBob. Cut to SpongeBob, holding a remote]
• SpongeBob: I sure am! ‘‘[He presses a button on the remote. A large chimney rises from the ground next to his house, and a gigantic funnel pops out of it with the words "Welcome Santa" in neon letters] I'm ready! ‘‘ [Patchy laughs]
• Patchy: Not bad for a creature with no vertebrae. ‘‘[he puts down Sponge's picture] And I'm sure our pal Patrick is doing his share of the decorating. ‘‘[He picks up a picture of Patrick. Cut to Patrick standing by his house with a dopey smile on his face. Zoom out to reveal a single Xmas ball hanging from the antenna on top of his rock. It snaps off and hits the ground, and Patrick does as well. Now, Patchy is mixing cookie dough] I too am also preparing for Christmas. ‘‘[he lifts up the mixer] Hmm, unbaked cookie dough! ‘‘ [he takes a lick] Mmm...
• Potty: ’’ [squawk] Potty want cookie dough! ‘‘[he flies over, squawking] Cookie! ‘‘ [Patchy ducks]
• Patchy: Potty! No! ‘‘ [Potty flies back and forth]
• Potty: Cookie! ‘‘ [squawk]
• Patchy: Get out of here!
• Potty: Cookie!
• Patchy: Potty!
• Potty: ’’ [squawk] Give me a lick!
• Patchy: Back off, you flying freak! ‘‘ [Potty flies on the counter]
• Potty: ’’ [squawk] Clarify please.
• Patchy: ’’ [The Cookie Dough is shaped like SpongeBob and Patrick was shown] This here cookie dough is for the children, not for pesky parrots. ‘‘[Cut to Hans reaching over and ringing a bell. Patchy looks out the window] What's that? Three bells! Well, we all know what three bells means!
• Children: ’’ [off-screen] Free ice cream! ‘‘ [Patchy laughs]
• Patchy: No, you silly livers! ‘‘ [sternly] No!
• Potty: ’’ [squawk] Man overboard? ‘‘ [Patchy walks over to a desk]
• Patchy: You, I'm ignoring. ‘‘[he sits down] No, it means it's time to open fan letters! ‘‘ [Potty flies over with a letter in his beak]
• Potty: ’’ [squawk] Here you go! ‘‘ [Patchy tugs at it]
• Patchy: Thank you, Potty. ‘‘[Potty's not letting go] Yeah. OK Potty, thank you! ‘‘[Potty squawks, still not letting go] Come on, give it, you birdbrain! ‘‘[Potty squawks some more] Quiet, infernal bird! ‘‘[He uses his hook, now with a pair of scissors on the end, to snip Potty's rope. Potty squawks and falls to the ground. Patchy nods] Hmm. ‘‘ [he sits back down] This letter comes to us from...
• Fish Head: ’’ [as voiceover] Name and address withheld! ‘‘[Patchy tears the envelope open, pieces of it flying all over the place. ‘‘ [He pulls up his eye patch and replaces it with a pair of reading glasses with one eye covered up]
• Patchy: And he writes, "Dear SpongeBob, I am ten years old, and I was wondering if you like Christmas as much as I do. Sincerely yours..."
• Fish Head: ’’ [as voiceover] Name and address withheld! ‘‘[Patchy gets up and takes off his glasses. Now his eye patch is back on]
• Patchy: A very good question. But you know they didn't always celebrate Christmas in Bikini Bottom.
• Potty: ’’ [squawk] They didn't?
• Patchy: No sir, my fine feathered little neck pain. ‘‘[He pulls down Potty's strings. Potty, as well as its puppeteer, falls to the ground. Patchy hangs a homemade Sponge ornament on a Xmas tree. Zoom out, showing the entire X-mas tree, which is decorated with many similar Sponge, as well as ornaments featuring Pat and Squid, and a few gift boxes] There was a time when no one had even heard of Christmas in Bikini Bottom. ‘‘[he snaps his fingers] Hey! Who wants to hear the story of SpongeBob's very first Christmas? ‘‘[Cut to Potty, who looks very drowsy and with bloodshot eyes. Patchy turns around] Potty?! ‘‘[he sees an empty bowl of cookie dough, accompanied by a foghorn noise] You ate all me cookie dough! ‘‘[we see Potty is now incredibly fat. The whole lower half of his body, along with their strings, falls off, leaving only his head]
• Potty: Squ-ouch! ‘‘ [Patchy shrugs]
• Patchy: Oh well! On with the show!
• ’’ [We see Sponge waiting on a hill near Sandy's treedome]
• SpongeBob: ’’ [laughs] Today, I'm gonna sneak up and get that Sandy with a super sneaky karate move. ‘‘ [practices karate]
• SpongeBob: What diabolical act is she committing now? ‘‘[Sandy plugs in Christmas lights] Fire! Don't worry, Sandy, I'm coming! Stand back, Sandy, fire! ‘‘[instead of throwing water on tree...throws it on Sandy] Huh? So I guess there's no fire?
• Sandy: What in the name of the Alamo is wrong with you, SpongeBob? Ain't you never seen a Christmas tree before?
• SpongeBob: Christmas who?
• Sandy: What?! Ya'll never heard of Christmas?
• SpongeBob: Is she a friend from Texas?
• Sandy: ’’ [laughs] No. I can't believe you haven't heard of... ‘‘ [makes an adorable face] ...Christmas.
• SpongeBob: Tell me more about this... ‘‘ [imitates Sandy] ...Christmas.
• Patchy: And so, Sandy wove the magical tale of gumdrops and pennywhistles. She told of toy-making elves and flying reindeer. But best of all, she told of the one they call, Santa Claus.
• ’’ [At Krusty Krab]
• SpongeBob: And everyone pretends to like the fruitcake.
• Squidward: Yawn.
• SpongeBob: But the best part is you can write a letter to this guy, Santa Claus, and tell him what you want, and when he comes he brings it to you.
• Patrick: Just like a genie.
• Mr. Krabs: I dunno about you, lubbers, but any fella who's giving away free stuff, is a friend o' mine.
• SpongeBob: That's the spirit, Mr. Krabs. ‘‘[grabs a piece of paper] Here you go! You can get started on your letter.
• Squidward: I can't believe anybody would celebrate a holiday where a jolly prowler breaks into your house and leaves gifts.
• Patrick: Like a genie.
• Mr. Krabs: Pipe down, Squidward. I'm trying to concentrate. This thing is as good as a blank check direct from the First National Bank of Santa Claus.
• Squidward: Oh, brother.
• Patrick: Yeah.
• SpongeBob: Ok, who's next?
• Patrick: Ooh, ooh, me, me!
• Squidward: Ooh.
• SpongeBob: Here you go, Patrick.
• Patrick: There's no words on this paper.
• SpongeBob: Not yet.
• Patrick: Yippee! A writing stick.
• SpongeBob: C'mon, Squidward. Write a letter.
• Squidward: SpongeBob, grow up will ya? No one's going to give me a gift just because I write them a stupid letter. ‘‘ [Patrick's letter tears in half]
• Patrick: SpongeBob, I ripped my paper. Could I have another one?
• SpongeBob: Sure, buddy. Here you go. Okie dokie, Squid... ‘‘ [Patrick rips his again] ...ward.
• Patrick: Uhh, SpongeBob... ‘‘[hands him another piece] Thanks. [sits down and starts writing with the paper on top of the pencil] Dear Sant... ‘‘[paper rips] Doh! Not again.
• SpongeBob: Here, Patrick, watch me. Dear Santa, what do I want for Christmas, you may ask? All I want is for you to visit gentle folk here in Bikini Bottom. That is my wish. [puts the letter in a bottle] Patrick, I designed this mechanism specifically to shoot bottles to the surface. The hopes of everyone rests on the success of its maiden voyage. Fire in the hole!
• [bottle shoots up to the surface]
• Patrick: Santa! Haha. Where's Santa?
• SpongeBob: Santa doesn't come till Christmas Eve.
• Mr. Krabs: Ok, boy, my demands, uhh, I mean, my letter, is ready to go.
• SpongeBob: Great, Mr. Krabs. What did you wish for?
• Mr. Krabs: A pony.
• SpongeBob: Really?
• Mr. Krabs: With saddle bags full of money! ‘‘ [shoots a bottle up to the surface]
• Patrick: Here you go, SpongeBob.
• SpongeBob: What did you wish for, Patrick?
• Patrick: Another piece of paper. ‘‘ [bottle shoots up to the surface]
• SpongeBob: And what did you wish for, little girl?
• Susie: Front teeth.
• Cowboy: I could use a new hat.
• Jennifer-Millie: I need a new hairstyle.
• Lonnie: How about a glass of water for my teeth.
• [lots of bottles get shot up to the surface]
• Squidward: Excuse me, coming through, out of the way.
• SpongeBob: Great, Squidward, you finished. What's your wish?
• Squidward: My wish is that the people of Bikini Bottom will stop paying any attention to the inane dribble that is constantly streaming out of this dunderhead's mouth.
• SpongeBob: Gee, Squidward, maybe Santa will bring me a dictionary so I can understand what you just said. Ok, everybody, we've got a lot to do now that we've summoned Santa Claus. We must ready ourselves for his arrival.

• Citizen: I hope he can read Portuguese.
• SpongeBob: Ahh, that's the last letter. Huh? Wait! Squidward hasn't written his letter yet! ‘‘[runs to Squidward with a pencil, bottles, and paper in hand] Squidward! Hurry! Squidward, Squidward! Hurry! [runs into Squidward's house and upstairs to have him write his letter]

• Squidward: SpongeBob, no.
• SpongeBob: Howdy, Claus?
• Squidward: [pushes SpongeBob out his door] I'm not writing a letter to a figment of your imagination.
• SpongeBob: But, Squidward, when Santa comes, you'll be the only one without a gift.
• Squidward: SpongeBob, how many times do I have to say it? I don't believe in Santa Claus!!

• SpongeBob: Hey, guys, where's your Christmas Spirit? He's just running late.
• Patrick: He probably just stopped for a snack! Fat guys get hungry right?
• SpongeBob: Yeah! ‘‘ [they wait and wait and then one of the jellyfish jars break on SpongeBob's head]
• Patrick: Never trust a genie. ‘‘ [Patrick and a snowman walk away]
• Squidward: ’’ [alarm goes off] Ahh, morning already? Oh, boy! ‘‘[speaking in a megaphone] Merry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas. Wait. Oh, I see a great Christmas photo op. could you move in a little? Say Santa Claus.
• SpongeBob: ’’ [very sad face] Santa Claus. ‘‘ [Squidward takes picture]
• Squidward: Aww, our first Christmas. This Christmas feels like the very first Christmas. The first Christmas is this Christmas. ‘‘[donkey appears on screen making noises] Cause it feels like the first Christmas to me. ‘‘ [laughing at SpongeBob]
• SpongeBob: You were right, Squidward. This is a stupid holiday. ‘‘ [takes out a present] I still want you to have this.
• Squidward: What? What's this?
• SpongeBob: A present. I made it for you so you wouldn't be left out when...Santa came!
• Squidward: Oh, gee, I, uh, you know I...
• SpongeBob: You're welcome.
• Squidward: SpongeBob? He made me a present? It's probably a jellyfish net, or an old Krabby patty, or... [imitates a hillbilly] his favorite underpants. Haha. [opens present] Why, it looks like a clarinet. [smells it] It smells like one, too. Handcrafted on driftwood. And it's even got my name on it. [finds a button that says "push"] What's this? [pushes the button and 3 wooden Squidward's with clarinets come out and bob up and down] Wow. This is the greatest gift I've ever gotten. Oh, I feel like a...I feel like a...I feel like a... [donkey appears on screen and makes noises] big jerk. What have I done to poor SpongeBob? Uh, hey, SpongeBob? I...SpongeBob? [SpongeBob is on a ladder trying to get his lights down]
• SpongeBob: I guess I won't be needing this. [slides down with the lights in hand] That's better. [a gray cloud comes and rains on SpongeBob]
• Squidward: Poor little guy. All he wanted was to spread a little joy.
• SpongeBob: I better get this stuff off of Squid's house.

• Squidward: SpongeBob? SpongeBob? SpongeBob?!
• SpongeBob: S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-San...
• Squidward: Don't do that again.
• SpongeBob: I knew you'd make it, Santa. Hey, Santa, where's your big, round belly.
• Squidward: Well, that, um, is a result of, uh, undersea pressure on my body.
• SpongeBob: Where's your reindeer? And your flying machine?
• Squidward: Uhh, I loaned them to the Easter bunny.
• SpongeBob: And what about that nose? ‘‘[pokes his nose and laughs] I knew you were suppose to have a big one but, that things gigantic. ‘‘ [laughs]
• Squidward: Alright! I'm Santa.
• SpongeBob: ’’ [glues a jump onto Santa] Santa! This is the greatest you could've given me. Thank you for bringing Christmas to Bikini Bottom.
• Squidward: I didn't bring Christmas to Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob; you did.
• SpongeBob: I did? ‘‘ [faints and falls on Gary's shell]
• Gary: Meow.
• Squidward: Merry Christmas, SpongeBob. Merry Christmas! Whew! I'm glad that's over.
• Shelly: Do you have a present for me, Santa?
• Squidward: Oh, well, uhh, you see, I'm not really...
• SpongeBob: ’’ [laughs] Go ahead, Santa Claus. See, he is real. He made my Christmas wish come true, he won't let you down.
• Squidward: Uhh, right, just a second. ‘‘[searches in his house for stuff] C'mon, let's see. What do little girls like? A box of matches? Or a shaving kit? A copy of my birth certificate? There's got to be something around here. Think. Think. Think. Ha! Perfect! ‘‘ [hands the little girl a wrench] There you go, little girl! Ho, ho, ho!
• Shelly: Thanks, Santa. ‘‘ [scratches the wrench like it was a puppy]
• Squidward: That almost felt good. ‘‘ [Squidward then notices a long line of citizens waiting for presents] I didn't...who?
• Fred: Hey, Santa, where's my present?
• Old Man Jenkins: And mine!
• Abigail-Marge: And what about me?
• Squidward: Uhh... let's see what Santa has for all you good people. ‘‘[searches for stuff in his house] Think fast, Santa. Gifts for good people. A-ha! A bowl of mashed potatoes for you.
• Jennifer-Millie: Thank you, Santa. This is just what I wanted. ‘‘ [puts bowl on her head] A new hairstyle.
• Squidward: ’’ [gives the little girl two forks & gives Patrick a clock] Here you go, Patrick.
• Patrick: Wow. ‘‘ [punches a hole through the clock] A wrist watch.
• Squidward: ’’ [gets everything else in his house to the citizens] What was I thinking? I gave away all my stuff just 'cause SpongeBob wouldn't be sad. Am I insane? ‘‘[SpongeBob knocks on the door] You might as well take the door. It's all that's left.
• SpongeBob: Squidward! You missed him! He was here just like I said! He gave us all presents. He was jolly and he had a beard. His nose was big and he had rosy cheeks. He was friendly and kind. ‘‘[turns SpongeBob towards the door and pushes him so he walks] And Santa is... oh, his belly was small but his nose was huge with Christmas joy. He was so nice Squidward...
• Squidward: Well, at least it's over. ‘‘[notices a bottle with a letter in it on the ground] Huh? What's this?
• Santa: Dear Squidward, thanks for all your help! You've been a real good boy this year. Warm regards, Santa Claus. [letter disappears into thin air] Ho, ho, ho! Ho, ho, ho! ‘‘[in his sleigh flying] Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. Ho, ho, ho, ho. ‘‘ [does a crazy dance while saying his "ho ho ho"]
• Squidward: Yup, I'm insane. [plays his wooden clarinet in the ending tone of the episode]
• Santa: Merry Christmas! [back at Patchy's house, a sailboat with a homemade Sponge and Pat moves in front of a picture of the island, which has a bunch of presents on it]
• Patchy: Dee dee, dee dee dee dee. ‘‘[in Sponge's voice] Ahoy, Patrick! It's Christmas Island! ‘‘[in Pat's voice] Presents, ahoy! ‘‘[in Sponge's voice] Hooray! ‘‘[he starts making storm sound effects] Oh, a storm! ‘‘[in Pat's voice] Yay! I mean yikes! ‘‘[he makes more sound effects and begins speaking in his own voice] Oh, we're going down! ‘‘[He keeps making noises. Zoom out to show the boat is on Patchy's head] Trim the sails! Hoist the yardarms! Turn on the Weather Channel! ‘‘ [he screams]
• Man on Set: ’’ [off-screen] Patchy!
• Patchy: Oh, hi kids. Boy, that SpongeBob makes me as jolly as a roger. Well, I hope you enjoyed SpongeBob's Christmas tale. And I hope your Christmas is better than sunken treasure. [He takes the boat off his head. Potty flies out, and there is a nest was under him, and in it are a few eggs wrapped in bows. Patchy picks one up] Aw... Potty left me a little Christmas present. ‘‘[He laughs. Then he goes over to the mistletoe] Arr, ye old mistletoe. And you know what that means. ‘‘[he sprays breath freshener in his mouth] Ah, time for somebody to kiss Patchy the Pirate! ‘‘[he makes kissing noises] Come on, who's it gonna be? Come on! Kiss the captain! ‘‘[He laughs. Potty flies over and squawks. Patchy screams]
• Potty: Give us a kiss! ‘‘ [Patchy goes to avoid him]
• Patchy: No! No, not you! ‘‘[Potty keeps flying around squawking] No, not you Potty! Get out of here! No, Potty! I don't wanna kiss you! No, we talked about this! Potty! No!
• Potty: Kissy, kissy!
• Narrator: Well, it looks like Patchy's pretty busy at the moment, so I'll say it for him. Good night, and happy holidays.
• [the words "Happy Holidays" are spelled out on screen]
