  • [The episode begins with a view of Conch Street. Night turns into morning where birds are chirping and SpongeBob laughs, which causes Squidward to get up from his bed and hit his head through the bed ceiling.]
  • Squidward: Doh... What the... [groans] ...now?
  • SpongeBob: La, la, la... [Squidward kicks his front door open and walks outside to SpongeBob's house] La-la-la, la, la-la-la...
  • Squidward: [angrily] Stop! [SpongeBob stops] What could you possibly be trying to do this time?
  • SpongeBob: I'm not trying to do anything. I'm just having a decent morning.
  • Squidward: By running around and screaming like a banshee?!
  • SpongeBob: Oh, Squidward, a banshee screams like this: [screams loudly and sounds of a hawk are heard. Squidward grabs SpongeBob's mouth]
  • Squidward: There are two kinds of people. There are people that are normal... [cuts to a group of real life fish in a tank] ...and then, there's you. [pokes one of SpongeBob's holes]
  • SpongeBob: Really?
  • Squidward: Yes, really! Maybe you should start acting a little more... normal!! [growls as he walks away]
  • SpongeBob: I'm not normal? [Squidward walks back to his house, muttering angrily, slams his door, and then sighs as he goes back to bed] Squidward? [Squidward wakes up, and then freaks out when he sees SpongeBob sitting on him] How does one become normal?
  • Squidward: Well, how about you start by... [cuts to outside of Squidward's house where Squidward kicks SpongeBob through the wall on top of the house] Getting away from me, you little creature?!
  • SpongeBob: What's wrong with me? I need to understand normal! [cuts to inside of SpongeBob's house] "How to be Normal." Hm, this videotape should help.
  • TV: Are you tired of being called a freak? Do people throw you out of their homes? Well, do they?
  • SpongeBob: Yes, yes, and yes.
  • TV: Then join me, as I take you on a "Journey into Normality."
  • SpongeBob: [transfixed] Normality.
  • TV: The life of a normal person is rather simple. [Door opens with a fish smiling and dressed professionally for work] Here is your typical average Joe on his way to work. See how he is dressed. [Hair is combed neatly] Even his hair is boring. [Zoom in on the dimples] Notice his features, nice and smooth without a crater or freckle to be seen.
  • SpongeBob: [rubs his face] Craters and freckles?
  • TV: In his office space, Mr. Normal, at least that's what it says on his name tag, works at a steady and monotonous pace, just as all the other normals do. Take note of how they communicate with each other.
  • Other Mr. Normal: Hi, how are you?
  • TV: At the end of the day, Mr. Normal packs his things and goes home to merrily start the cycle again in the morning.
  • SpongeBob: Yeah...
  • [Cut to next day at the Krusty Krab]
  • Customer: I want one Krabby Patty.
  • Squidward: Oh, great. SpongeBob, I need one Krabby Patty. [Bells rings as the food tray is presented to Squidward] What, no annoying blurbs today? [Looks through the empty kitchen window] Hmm, strangely quiet. [Walks into the kitchen to get a cup of water, but as he is getting the drink, he notices the office space behind him] SpongeBob?
  • SpongeBob: [typing on the computer] Hi, how are ya?
  • Squidward: What's the meaning of this?
  • SpongeBob: I took your advice. From now on, I'm normal. [Shows nametag that reads "Hello I'm Normal"]
  • Squidward: Normal, huh?
  • SpongeBob: Yup.
  • Squidward: Oh, really?
  • SpongeBob: Yup.
  • Squidward: Whatever. I know you're just waiting to say something stupid.
  • SpongeBob: Wonderful weather we're having.
  • Squidward: Uh, yes, it is.
  • SpongeBob: Okay, see ya 'round. [Goes back to typing]
  • Squidward: Yeah, I'll, uh...I'll see you. [Door opens]
  • Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob, what are you doing sitting around? We need Krabby Patties out there.
  • SpongeBob: Yes, sir. I'll do it... normally.
  • Mr. Krabs: Eh? [computer beeps. SpongeBob types up an order for 1 Krabby Patty and the machine comes out with one] Wow, that's all it takes these days, huh? Can you do more? [walks to the back of the machine as it shoots hundreds of Krabby Patties at him] Oh, my! It's like printing money! [Cuts to Squidward riding his bike]
  • Squidward: I wonder what got into SpongeBob... And what the heck is that?! [a normal house is sitting by Squidward's house] Whose house is this?
  • SpongeBob: [walks up to his house] Hi, how are ya?
  • Squidward: [slaps himself. Cuts to next day at the Krusty Krab where Squidward walks into the kitchen and greets SpongeBob] Hi, SpongeBob.
  • SpongeBob: Hi, how are ya?
  • Squidward: Good, just heading by to get a drink.
  • SpongeBob: Wonderful weather we're having.
  • Squidward: It sure is.
  • SpongeBob: Okay, see ya 'round.
  • Squidward: Yeah... [chuckles] See ya. [chuckles] Oh, my. [slurps] I could get used to this.
  • Montage: TBD.
  • French Narrator: Three weeks later...
  • Squidward: There you are, sir. [watch beeps] Oh, yes, it's time again. I've been meaning to say this, but I've come to appreciate your demeanor lately.
  • SpongeBob: You know, it's a funny thing, Squidward. I smoothed out the edges of my personality and the rest just followed suit. Now I am utterly normal. [smiles showing his teeth with no buck tooth. Cuts to a customer biting into his flat Krabby Patty, but all he is eating is paper. He takes it out of his mouth]
  • Robbie Fish: Ugh! That ain't right. I will never spend money here again.
  • Mr. Krabs: Never?
  • Mevis: Come on, guys, these patties ain't worth the paper they're printed on.
  • Mr. Krabs: Wait, where're you going? [paper Krabby Patty lands on his nose] SpongeBob! What are you doing back here? Do you expect the customers to eat this? And now, thanks to you, they're leaving in boat loads. [customers are rowing out of the restaurant in boats]
  • SpongeBob: Maybe this thing is out of ink.
  • Mr. Krabs: [sighs] No, boy, you're missing the point. You can't make Krabby Patties with ink and paper. You gotta put your heart into it, boy. Now get back to making them patties the right way and stop acting so dull.
  • SpongeBob: What you call dull I call normal.
  • Mr. Krabs: Well, till you decide to start making them patties the way only you can, I want you out of my place!
  • SpongeBob: [walks out of the Krusty Krab] I guess the decision to be normal was more life-changing than I thought. [walks up to Patrick who is reading a paper at the bus stop] Hi, how are ya?
  • Patrick: What happened to you?
  • SpongeBob: Oh, I got normal.
  • Patrick: Whatever that means. Hey, SpongeBob, what do you say we charge into Jellyfish Fields nets ablaze? [takes two jellyfish nets out of his pockets]
  • SpongeBob: Let's do something normal, like window shopping.
  • Patrick: Let's do this... [groans as he shrinks his head inside of his body and makes it reappear out of the side of his stomach] Ya-ha! Hey, your turn.
  • SpongeBob: I think I'll pass. But I do need to defragment my hard drive, would you like to help?
  • Patrick: Hey, listen...when you decide to do something fun, you know where to find me. [walks away with head still out of stomach]
  • SpongeBob: Okay, see ya 'round. [rings Squidward's door bell] Hi, how are ya?
  • Squidward: I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but please come in, SpongeBob. [Squidward pours tea into SpongeBob's cup]
  • SpongeBob: Thank you. Tell me, what are you doing cooped up in here when the weather outside is so normal.
  • Squidward: Well, today is dusting day. The day I dust my 483 self-portraits.
  • SpongeBob: Wow, that's something you don't see in the average house.
  • Squidward: You know, SpongeBob, it's okay to be a little different. [slurps his tea]
  • SpongeBob: And you know what else is abnormal? Your nose—it's all bulbous and flappy. Your eyes are a little odd, too. Looks like your whole face could use some work. Yeah, there we go. [SpongeBob turns Squidward's face into a real live Squidward face] See? Looking normal already. [woman shrieks]
  • Squidward: What the...?
  • SpongeBob: One more thing, Squidward. You don't wear pants. [Squidward kicks him out of his house]
  • Squidward: And stay out of my home! [slams the door then looks in the mirror and pokes his nose a little]
  • SpongeBob: Oh, what happened? I lost my job, then my best friend, and now I'm too normal for Squidward. Maybe I have taken this normal thing too far. No problem, SpongeBob. You made yourself normal. Now all you have to do is re-weird yourself. All it'll take is a mental adjustment and some tight clenching. Now focus... [groans] and clench. [groans so much his eyes pop out] Oh, well, if I'm going to get weird, I'm going to need to see a professional. [Cuts to Patrick's house]
  • Patrick: [tongue is twisted around] Look at the tongue. [tongue untwists itself and Patrick laughs]
  • SpongeBob: That's very nice, Patrick, but I need you to retrain me. I want to be abnormal again.
  • Patrick: Huh, I don't think you have what it takes.
  • SpongeBob: Please, Patrick. If anyone can teach me the arcane art of the weird, it's you. Teach me how to be me again.
  • Patrick: It won't be easy, but I'll do it.
  • SpongeBob: Oh, thank you, Patrick!
  • Patrick: But first, I'll need a garden hose and a flatbed truck, and I'll need you to remove your trousers. [Cuts to people laughing at SpongeBob who is only in his underwear]
  • SpongeBob: Patrick, I'm feeling very self-conscious right now.
  • Patrick: [spraying water] Try to concentrate on your first lesson in weird. [throws SpongeBob onto the streak of water] See you on the other side, buddy! [SpongeBob grunts as both Patrick and SpongeBob are sliding on a water trail that lead to a ramp on a flatbed truck that launches them into the Bikini Bottom Zoo]
  • Susie: Mommy, mommy... what are those things?
  • Shubie: Those are undesirables, honey. We only talk to normal people! [Shubie and her two kids walk off]
  • Patrick: SpongeBob, the weird therapy is working. Your craters are coming back. We just have to keep pushing the boundaries. We've gotta get stranger. [Cuts to Jellyfish Fields where SpongeBob is riding on Patrick's back like a horse and catches a jellyfish in the net. Another crater comes back. Cuts to SpongeBob and Patrick licking the sand and as SpongeBob is licking, his nose grows back to normal size. Cuts to Patrick and SpongeBob standing on their hands] Talk backwards.
  • SpongeBob: Tap, erus uoy era? [SpongeBob's legs and arms are back to normal, Patrick gives a thumbs up but falls down. Cut to SpongeBob and Patrick eating secret Krabby Sauce with their feet. SpongeBob grows his buck teeth back, but then something is happening to him]
  • Patrick: It's happening. The final transformation. [SpongeBob transforms back into his normal state]
  • SpongeBob: Huh?
  • Patrick: What happened?
  • SpongeBob: I don't know. I guess I became permanently normal.
  • Patrick: [horrified and devastated] Noooo! [hugs SpongeBob and they both burst into tears]
  • SpongeBob: I don't wanna be normal! [knock on door]
  • Patrick: Go away!
  • SpongeBob: Normal is not worth it!
  • Patrick: We're in mourning! [Patrick sobs in despair]
  • Squidward: [Patrick's rock begins to open] It's me, Squidward. I'm looking for SpongeBob. [in a normal state] Hi. How are ya? [SpongeBob is so scared and shocked at how Squidward looks that he screams, turning back into his regular self]
  • Patrick: SpongeBob, you're back to your square shape.
  • SpongeBob: Wow! I guess Squidward's normal looks scared me back to my original form. Thanks, buddy, you saved my life.
  • Squidward: Wonderful weather we're having, hm?
  • SpongeBob: It sure is, buddy. It sure is. [laughs with Patrick whilst the episode ends]
