This article is a transcript of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Dear Vikings" from season 6, which aired on November 28, 2008.

  • [The episode opens with an outside shot of the Krusty Krab. Inside, SpongeBob sweeps the floors until he approaches Mr. Krabs, all the while the latter setting something up on a table.]
  • SpongeBob: [salutes] Ahoy, Mr. Krabs!
  • Mr. Krabs: Huh? [turns his head to see who was talking to him] Oh. Ahoy, SpongeBob!
  • SpongeBob: [salutes again] Ahoy, Mr. Krabs!
  • [Mr. Krabs looks at him with a somewhat annoyed expression.]
  • Mr. Krabs: Okay, that's over with. Now why don't you go see if first mate Squidward needs any help at the register?
  • [The camera cuts to a spider web covered Squidward standing around, doing nothing.]
  • SpongeBob: And what are you up to on this fine, fine Monday?
  • Mr. Krabs: Well, I was gonna wait 'til this afternoon, but I guess I could show you now.
  • SpongeBob: Show me what?
  • Mr. Krabs: I'm introducing a new Krusty Krab promotion.
  • SpongeBob: Ah! You are?!
  • Mr. Krabs: I sure am. [walks away to reveal the promotion]
  • [A banner above the table is revealed to say, New Krusty Krab Promotion. On the table, there are three cups.]
  • SpongeBob: Who are ya gonna introduce it to?
  • Mr. Krabs: Why all my loyal customers, of course!
  • Squidward: Ha!
  • Mr. Krabs: [glares at Squidward unamused] Anyway, we got new beverage cups.
  • SpongeBob: Wow.
  • Mr. Krabs: [as the camera pans per cup size he says] There's Regular, Large, and the new Viking Size!
  • SpongeBob: But, Mr. Krabs, these are all the same size cup.
  • Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob, this promotion is designed to save us money.
  • [SpongeBob taps his finger on his chin four times.]
  • Mr. Krabs: Now don't forget. Each participating patron who purchases any drink in our new Krusty Krab Viking Size cup gets to a chance to [holds up a cardboard helmet that is taped and has three fake emeralds taped to it; SpongeBob yodels with his tongue]try on this genuine cardboard Viking helmet!
  • Squidward: That he found while cleaning out his attic over the weekend.
  • Mr. Krabs: Don't you know when you're being ignored?
  • Squidward: You're the only one talking.
  • SpongeBob: [staring at the Viking helmet] Mr. Krabs... [reaches out to take the helmet] it's beautifu-
  • Mr. Krabs: Not so fast! Access to the mighty helmet will be granted to active promotion participants only. And only those who purchase Viking Size.
  • SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs, what's a Viking?
  • Mr. Krabs: Oh, well, uh... the Vikings lived a long time ago.
  • SpongeBob: How long?
  • Mr. Krabs: I...about ten years.
  • SpongeBob: And?
  • Mr. Krabs: Uh... [walks to his office] You're gonna have to ask Squidward any more questions ya got. He's the smart one. [closes his office door]
  • Squidward: Barnacle butt.
  • SpongeBob: [pops up next to Squidward] Hi, Squidward!
  • Squidward: Ay! What do you want?
  • SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs said you were gonna teach me all about the Vikings.
  • Squidward: Oh really?
  • SpongeBob: Will ya teach me, huh?!
  • Squidward: Sure! I'll teach ya. Listen closely now. The Vikings [now narrating; the scene cuts to five Vikings standing, some with weapons] were a race of scholars and scientists who lived before even Mr. Krabs was born.
  • [The scene cuts to a Viking putting ketchup on a hot dog, and another eating a hamburger with ketchup dripping from his mouth.]
  • Squidward: They are believed to have discovered ketchup, [the scene cuts to a Viking walking while holding a leash] and enjoyed dressing up their pets as [the camera pans to a brick with legs who can be heard barking tied to the leash] chunks of masonry on the weekends.
  • [The scene cuts to some Vikings watching a movie on a projector screen, showcasing two fish in a car.]
  • Squidward: Their favorite movies are in black and white.
  • [On the movie, a fish with an ax pops up from the passenger seats behind the two fish.]
  • Viking: Look out!
  • [The other Vikings and the fish with an ax shush him]
  • Squidward: And grown Vikings are known to collect socks which they display and trade at monthly sock trading conventions called Sock'n Garten.
  • Vikings: Sock'n Garten.
  • [The scene cuts back to the Krusty Krab with SpongeBob in awe and Squidward reading his magazine.]
  • SpongeBob: Whoa... Squidward, do you think Vikings really drink their beverages in Viking Size?
  • Squidward: [sarcastically, but enthusiastically] Of course they do! How else would Mr. Krabs come up with such a [then unenthusiastic] brilliant idea? [goes back to reading his magazine]
  • SpongeBob: Do you think that-
  • Squidward: SpongeBob! Can't you see I am trying to [flaps magazine] work? [tries to go back to reading]
  • SpongeBob: But-
  • Squidward: [annoyed] But what?!
  • SpongeBob: There's so much more about Vikings that I wanna find out.
  • Squidward: [frustrated] Well, then why don't you go ask them?!
  • SpongeBob: [gasps in excitement] Thanks, Squidward! [kisses Squidward on the head, then walks away]
  • [The scene cuts to SpongeBob in the kitchen, writing a letter with his right hand and flipping Krabby Patties with the other. As he writes the letter, he reads it.]
  • SpongeBob: Dear Vikings, I am writing to ask you guys about your lives and stuff. [now narrating; the scene cuts to him walking to a mailbox] If you would take the time to answer [puts the letter in the mailbox] all my neat questions, [walks away] then that [walks back to the mailbox and puts the red flag up] would be really swell.
  • [The scene cuts to the Bikini Bottom post office, with a mailfish pulling up with a car full of sacks of letters to the post office. After sorting a few letters, he comes across SpongeBob's envelope, which says, "To Vikings" with a heart below the words. He takes the envelope and tosses it in a garbage can outside. Two men in a garbage truck pull up to the garbage cans, and they play rock, paper, scissors. The man who was driving plays paper, and the other man plays scissors. The driver goes outside, grabs a garbage can, and trips on his own shoe lace. Trash spills everywhere, and SpongeBob's letter lands right in front of the driver. He picks the envelope up, takes one look at it and stands up. The other garbage man knocks on the windshield of the truck, but the driver just runs away. His hat falls off to reveal a Viking helmet, and he waits at the bus stop next to Fred, Old Man Jenkins, and Incidental 93, to which they stare at the him. A bus drives through sunlight, rain, and snow, and the scene cuts to the Viking is riding a bike through a path around mountains. The camera pans up to the mountain range.]
  • Viking King: [on his throne, between two female Vikings] Ah, Helga. Tell me once again of the time ye visited those remote Himalayan hot springs.
  • Trash Fish: [crawls through the door of the palace, out of breath and filthy] A letter. [goes unconscious and drops the envelope]
  • Viking King: [angry and banging his fists] Why must you always come in here during story time?!
  • Trash Fish: But, but I-
  • Viking King: Guards!
  • [The guards grab the trash fish.]
  • Trash Fish: Please! No! You don't understand! I was only trying to... eh...
  • [The trash fish is heard being thrown into a dungeon off-screen.]
  • Helga: Your Majesty, look! [picks up the envelope off the ground] A letter.
  • Viking King: How incredibly interesting! I must read it at once.
  • [The scene cuts to the Krusty Krab, with Squidward reading his magazine when the whole restaurant shakes. A large Viking ship crashes through the front of the Krusty Krab, and some Vikings get off.]
  • Squidward: [uninterested] Welcome to the Krusty Krab, may I take your order?
  • Gordon: We're Vikings. Our chief has sent us here because [holds up SpongeBob's letter] we've got this letter.
  • Squidward: SpongeBob, there's some Vikings here to see you.
  • SpongeBob: [enters from the kitchen door] What's that, Squidward? I couldn't here ya. I was... ooh.
  • Gordon: Ah.. are you the one they call the SpongeBob?
  • SpongeBob: Uh, I think so. [blinks twice]
  • Tough Viking: Well, we are here to teach ya all about the Vikings.
  • SpongeBob: [raises both arms] Huzzah!
  • Gordon: One of the things Vikings like to do is... redecorate.
  • [Two of the Vikings chop a table and barrels with their axes, one punches the soda machine, another tips over a table holding some pots and pans, and one other torches a urinal]
  • SpongeBob: How interesting.
  • Gordon: And another thing the Vikings like to do is appropriate. [pulls on the cash register until the wires snap off, and throws it on the ship]
  • SpongeBob: What a fascinating culture.
  • Tough Viking: And on occasion, the Vikings, [pulls out a rope] we've been known to liberate. [ties Squidward up with the rope]
  • Squidward: What the?! Hey! You can't do tha-[gets thrown onto the ship] aaaa!
  • SpongeBob: [tied up by a rope] I can't believe how much I'm learning. [gets pulled into the ship]
  • [The Vikings row the ship away.]
  • Mr. Krabs: Squidward, I'll be back in one hour. I'm going on my lunch break. [notices the destroyed and lit restaurant] Squidward?
  • [The scene cuts to the Viking ship.]
  • Squidward: Would you mind telling us what this is all about?
  • Gordon: [saliva comes out of his mouth and it lands on Squidward] Shush. [speaking normally] Now that you're part of our crew, I guess we should introduce ourselves. [slaps a Viking on the chest with his fist closed] This is Olaf.
  • [The scene cuts to Squidward crossing his arms and SpongeBob in interest, then back to Gordon.]
  • Gordon: [slaps a Viking on the chest] And this is Olaf. [points to a Viking] And this is Olaf. [points to a Viking] This is... Olaf.
  • [The scene cuts to Squidward and SpongeBob again briefly, then back to Gordon]
  • Gordon: Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, And, um... [covers his eyes and snaps his fingers] um...
  • Olaf with beard and pigtails: Olaf.
  • Gordon: Olaf.
  • Squidward: So, let me guess. Your name must be...
  • Gordon: That's right. Gordon.
  • SpongeBob: Nice to meet ya.
  • Gordon: Now, before I put you two to work, I wanna know what...
  • SpongeBob: Wait! I still have lots more questions about the Vikings' way of life.
  • Gordon: Like what?
  • SpongeBob: Well, like... what do the Vikings like to do for fun?
  • Gordon: Hm... fun. Um, um, um, uh, well,...
  • Green Olaf: What about the shield toss?
  • Gordon: Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. [walks to a pole with two shields and grabs one of them and tosses it at a door]
  • SpongeBob: Hm. Anything else?
  • Gordon: Um...
  • Green Olaf: Ooh! What about flaming shield toss?
  • Gordon: [snaps fingers] Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [walks up to the same pole and grabs the other shield, lights it on fire with a torch, and tosses it at the same door]
  • [All of the Olafs clap.]
  • SpongeBob: Anything else?
  • [The Vikings hum as they think.]
  • Gordon: Eh, I-I-I can't really think of anything.
  • Green Olaf: Me neither. Oh, yeah!
  • Gordon: What is it, Olaf?
  • Green Olaf: We like to sing songs.
  • Gordon, Purple Olaf, and Orange Olaf: Ooh... No we don't! [they carry the green Olaf]
  • Green Olaf: Wait, no! Okay, I admit it was a lousy idea! I promise it won't happen again! [gets thrown into a catapult]
  • Gordon: You got that right.
  • [All of the other Vikings cheer as the orange Olaf cranks the catapult, until it launches the green Olaf away into the ocean.]
  • Green Olaf: DAYHOOATYHOO!
  • Gordon: [walks back to SpongeBob and Squidward] Any other questions?
  • SpongeBob: [stunned] I'll let you know if I think of anything.
  • Gordon: So, tell me. What is it that you two know how to do?
  • SpongeBob: Well, Mr. Krabs tells me I'm pretty good with a [pulls up a spatula from behind] spatula.
  • Squidward: Ha.
  • Gordon: Fine. [points to SpongeBob] You're our ship's new head chef. And... what can [points at Squidward] you do?
  • Squidward: Well, if you must know, I'm a widely renowned clarinet virtuoso, state-recognized interior design consultant, licensed and board certified antique macrame connoisseur, born and raised collector and sculptor of driftwood, and able to recognize over 1300 brand names of single-person pedal-operated vehicles at a single glance. Plus I make a killer soufflé.
  • Gordon: Impressive. You'll be the ship's bathroom attendant.
  • SpongeBob: A promotion. Congratulations, Squidward!
  • [Squidward has an irritated expression, then the scene cuts to Gordon walks until Squidward appears in front of him.]
  • Squidward: Hold it right there, whiskers! Let's not forget you're the one who dragged me onto this crate in the first place! Now, you ask me to pour my heart out, and this is the respect I get?! Well, you got another thing coming, honey! I want off this boat, pronto!
  • [The scene cuts to Squidward on a catapult around various other Vikings.]
  • Squidward: On second thought, bathroom attendants make decent tips. Well, look on the bright side, Squidward. No more living next door to SpongeBob. Let her rip, Jack-o!
  • [Purple Olaf pulls back his hammer and gets ready to launch Squidward, until SpongeBob hangs onto the hammer.]
  • SpongeBob: Wait! You can't do that.
  • Gordon: You mean to question the will of the tribe?
  • SpongeBob: If it means saving my best friend, then yes.
  • Gordon: [throws an axe in front of SpongeBob] Then, pick up the weapon and fight with me a duel in accordance with the prophecy! [pulls a sword from behind]
  • Olafs: [chanting] Duel, duel, duel, duel!
  • Gordon: [while the Olafs are still chanting] Go on. Pick it up!
  • SpongeBob: But.... [the Olafs stop chanting; he struggles to pick up the ax and groans]
  • Gordon: Go on, weakling.
  • Purple Olaf: Heh, owned! [he and the other Vikings laugh at him]
  • SpongeBob: But, but I...
  • [The ship crashes into an iceberg, and an alarm blares.]
  • Blue Olaf: [while running in circles around SpongeBob] We're being attacked by a giant monster. This is the end-uh! The end-uh, of the Vikings!
  • [SpongeBob walks up to the leak and notices the water is coming from the iceberg.]
  • Olaf with beard and pigtails: [huddling with two other Vikings] Oh, Vahalla. Why have you forsaken us?
  • SpongeBob: Guys, you just ran into a piece of ice. No one's forsaken you. There's a breach in the hull over there. You just gotta patch it up.
  • Gordon: [pulls out a blanket from a chest] Quick! Everybody take one of these!
  • SpongeBob: [takes the blanket] What's that for?
  • Gordon: It's a security blanket.
  • SpongeBob: How ya gonna patch up a leak with that?
  • Gordon: We're not. [takes the blanket and comforts himself with it] But it makes us feel so much better.
  • [SpongeBob runs away.]
  • Gordon: Wait! You forgot your blanket!
  • [SpongeBob runs briefly and jumps. The scene cuts to Squidward still tied up in the catapult.]
  • Squidward: What the barnacles is going on down there?
  • [SpongeBob lands on the catapult next to him.]
  • SpongeBob: Pardon me, Squidward! [breaks the rope that Squidward was tied to with his spatula]
  • Squidward: [sliding down the catapult] It's all yours.
  • SpongeBob: Thanks. [throws the rope to a mast and the rope ties around it, he pulls the rope and the catapult turns] There.
  • Purple Olaf: Look up there! What's he doing?
  • SpongeBob: Here goes nothing! [throws his spatula at the pedal, and the catapult launches him into the breech in the hull. He absorbs all of the water from the leak and the ship straightens up]
  • Gordon and the other Vikings cheer.]
  • SpongeBob: Now that's what I call a Viking-sized adventure!
