This article is a transcript of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Mid-Life Crustacean" from season 3, which aired on January 24, 2003.

  • [The episode begins at Mr. Krabs' anchor home in the morning. Mr. Krabs wakes up in his hammock in his bedroom. The radio clicks on.]
  • Radio DJ: You've got it tuned to K-O-L-D, K-Old, your all-oldies station. Here's a little something you may remember from the good old days.
  • ♪You're old... Groaning like a geezer♪ [Mr. Krabs opens his eyes, which are crusty and coated in barnacles] ♪Feel yourself a-crackin' like an old has-been♪ [Mr. Krabs gets out of bed with all his joints cracking when he moves] ♪Look at yourself, old man, you've got multiple chins♪ [Mr. Krabs looks in his bathroom mirror. He pulls down his shirt to show a bunch of chins] ♪'Cause you're old...♪
  • [Bubble transition to the kitchen. Mr. Krabs slowly walks to the table, and sits down at the table as Pearl comes in.]
  • Pearl Krabs: Good morning, Daddy. [gives him a kiss] I made you breakfast.
  • Mr. Krabs: Thank you, sweet pea. I see you got creative with the bran today. [looks down at the plate to see his bran shaped as bacon, eggs, juice, cutlery, and a citrus slice]
  • Pearl: Open up, it's time for the pill. [Pearl takes out a giant pill onto the table]
  • Mr. Krabs: Oh, barnacles! I hate the pill.
  • [Pearl shoves the giant pill in his mouth and he swallows it. He takes a breath.]
  • Mr. Krabs: Pearl, do you think I'm... old?
  • Pearl: Well, of course I do! But that's okay. Daddies are supposed to be old.
  • Mr. Krabs: But I'm still cool, right? Your old man is cool?
  • Pearl: See, no one says cool anymore. That's such an old-person thing. Now we say "coral," as in: "That nose job is so coral."
  • Mr. Krabs: Coral, eh?
  • Pearl: Eww, when you say it, it sounds so uncoral.
  • Mr. Krabs: Well, what if I said it with a different inflection? Co-ral.
  • Pearl: Don't you have to go to work or something, Dad?
  • Mr. Krabs: Whoop, you're right! [eats his breakfast] Have a coral day, honey.
  • Pearl: [picks up her phone and dials] Jenny? It's Pearl. "Coral" is definitely out. [Bubble transition to Mr. Krabs walking outside]
  • Mr. Krabs: Ha! Old? What was I thinking? I ain't old. Huh? [turns around to see a boy scout helping him walk across]
  • Boy Scout: Don't worry, Pops, we're almost across the street.
  • Mr. Krabs: Hey, get away from me. I don't need no snot-nosed little... [as he walks away, his arm comes off. He walks back to get it] Sorry you had to see that. [keeps walking to work where a fish is walking behind him]
  • Harold: Come on, move it! Could you be any slower? And you've had your blinker on for the last five blocks. [Mr. Krabs turns around and notices he has two signals on his behind, the right arrow is blinking, so he covers his behind. He continues to walk until a ball rolls next to him]
  • Tyler: Hey, mister, could you throw the ball back over here?
  • Mr. Krabs: [picks up the ball] Hey, how's about I join you kids?
  • Tyler: Uhh, that's okay. You can keep it. Why do old people always have to ruin the fun?
  • [Mr. Krabs drops the ball. He sighs as he walks up to a line of elderly fish.]
  • Elderly Fish #1: [talking to Mr. Krabs] Hey, no cutting! You gotta wait your turn like everybody else!
  • [Mr. Krabs notices a long line in front of the Bikini Bottom Cemetery. The sound of a church bell plays.]
  • Mr. Krabs: No! No! I ain't old like you! I ain't old! I ain't old! [runs away]
  • Elderly Fish #2: What's his problem? [the line is for ice cream]
  • Lou: Next?
  • [The scene cuts to the Krusty Krab where Mr. Krabs is sitting at a table depressed.]
  • Monroe: Mommy, my Krabby Patty tastes funny.
  • Mother: Well, no wonder. It's all old and dried out. Like that man right there. [points to Mr. Krabs] Now put that thing where it belongs... in the garbage.
  • Monroe: ♪La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la...♪ [Timmy walks up to the trashcan, but Mr. Krabs grabs his patty before he can get there]
  • Mr. Krabs: Well, little patty, we're two of a kind. We've both lost our luster. [takes a bite out of the patty] Hmmm, so that's what I taste like.
  • [Patrick walks into the Krusty Krab.]
  • Patrick: Good morning, Krusty Krew!
  • [SpongeBob pokes his head out of the kitchen window.]
  • SpongeBob: [shouts] Hey, Patrick! You all ready for the big night out tonight?!
  • Patrick: [shouts] Yeah, it's gonna rock!
  • SpongeBob: Are you ready to go crazy?!
  • Patrick: I'm already hearing voices!
  • SpongeBob: Are you ready to...?!
  • Squidward: [yelling] SpongeBob! Patrick! Do you mind?!
  • SpongeBob: Let's continue this conversation in private, Patrick! I think some people are eavesdropping!
  • Patrick: Well, how rude of some people!
  • Mr. Krabs: Hmmm, those youngsters are going out for a big night on the town. [stretches his eyes into the kitchen where SpongeBob and Patrick are talking]
  • SpongeBob: Whoo! I've been looking forward to this night all week!
  • Patrick: Party!
  • SpongeBob: What do you think we should do first?
  • Patrick: What shouldn't we do first? We're young, [Mr. Krabs' eyes move a little closer] we've got wheels, [Mr. Krabs' eyes move closer] the world is our oyster! SpongeBob, you got something on your shoulder. [SpongeBob notices Mr. Krabs' eyes are on his shoulders]
  • Mr. Krabs: Hey, boys, hanging out?
  • Patrick: [looks at his large belly] Yes.
  • Mr. Krabs: I couldn't help overhearing your big plans. And I was wondering if you had room for one more craaaaazy dude tonight, huh?
  • SpongeBob: Of course. Did you wanna come with us, Mr. Krabs?
  • Mr. Krabs: Oh, hadn't even crossed me mind. But, sure, I'll go!
  • Patrick: I don't know, SpongeBob. He might cramp our style.
  • SpongeBob and Patrick: [appear in a picture with a silly look on them] Style!
  • Patrick: Let's see if he knows the secret cool-guy handshake. [holds out his hand]
  • Mr. Krabs: Uhh, yeah, course I know it! [begins to sweat] Uhh... uhh...
  • Patrick: I'm waiting... old man.
  • Mr. Krabs: [shakes Patrick's hand] Uhh... how do you do?
  • Patrick: Fine, and you? All right, you're in. But I'm not happy about it.
  • SpongeBob: You passed the test, Mr. Krabs!
  • Mr. Krabs: Great! Why don't you boys show up at my house at eight o'clock?
  • SpongeBob: I just wanna warn you, Mr. Krabs. We're always fashionably late.
  • French Narrator: [narrates time card.] 8:01 PM. [scene cuts to Mr. Krabs' house. The doorbell rings and Mr. Krabs answers. It's SpongeBob and Patrick.]
  • SpongeBob: Hey there, Mr. Krabs! Are you ready to party?
  • Mr. Krabs: Oh, I'm ready to party! Are you ready to party?
  • Patrick: I'm ready to party! Are you ready to party, SpongeBob?
  • SpongeBob: Oh, I'm ready to party! Are you ready to party, Mr. Krabs?

  • Patrick: I'm ready to party! Are you ready to party, Mr. Krabs?
  • Mr. Krabs: I'm ready to party! Are you ready to par- [Pearl runs by them crying in embarrassment to getting on Pearl's nerves.]
  • Pearl: Stop it, just stop it! You're embarrassing me, Dad! [sobbing]
  • Mr. Krabs: So, what kind of hot rod will we be cruisin' in tonight?
  • SpongeBob: Only the most powerful chick magnet in town. The Underwater Heartbreaker. [A timpani sound is heard in the background as SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs see a bike with two streamers on each handle.]
  • Mr. Krabs: It's more like a chick repellent. And there's only two seats.
  • SpongeBob: Calm your waters, Mr. Krabs. I modified this little baby myself. [Bubble transition to SpongeBob and Patrick riding at the front of the bike, while Mr. Krabs is in a wagon behind them]
  • Mr. Krabs: Are you sure this is what the kids are driving these days?
  • SpongeBob: Only the cool kids.
  • [A hot rod, driven by a young teen, pulls up beside them]
  • Hot rod fish: Hey, you guys must be lost. Doofus Drive is around the corner!
  • SpongeBob: We're not lost, I've got my compass. [shows him the compass]
  • Hot rod fish: So long, dorks! [speeds away]

  • SpongeBob: You guys want another rinse cycle? I'm buying.
  • Mr. Krabs: You know, I love staring at delicates as much as the next guy, but it's just that I thought we'd see more of the nightlife. Something that'll give you that wild and crazy hot-blooded feeling, if you know what I mean.
  • SpongeBob: Oh, I know what you mean, Mr. Krabs. This is only stop numero uno on our night of debauchery!
  • Patrick: Debauchery!
  • Mr. Krabs: Debauchery! [scene cuts to the road where all three are picking up trash] Debauchery? I never thought of picking up trash under the highway as hot-blooded, but if it's what the kids are into...
  • SpongeBob: So, are you feeling that wild and crazy feeling, Mr. Krabs?
  • Mr. Krabs: Not yet.

[runs up to SpongeBob and Patrick] You guys wouldn't know a good time if it bit you in the aft end! I'm going home. You guys ain't cool, you're lame!
  • SpongeBob: [sadly] Lame?!
  • Mr. Krabs: Lame! You're nerds! Geeks! Creeps! And babies!
  • SpongeBob and Patrick: Not babies! [both suck their thumbs]
