Sandy challenges SpongeBob to a mountain-climbing contest, and she wins. SpongeBob challenges Sandy to a running race to the Krusty Krab, and he wins. Sandy keeps saying that land creatures are better than sea creatures, and the sea creatures do things that Sandy can't do. She is angered, and takes off her helmet and her suit. She eventually can't breathe, and uses a pickle jar as a substitute. She challenges Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward to go above the surface for 1 minute. They do that, but in the process get beaten up by a bunch of seagulls and Sandy beats the seagulls and saves her friends.

Quotes

Patrick: We are late for our fitting.
Sandy: For what? Your chicken costume?
Patrick:Hey we are not chicken! (throws his popcorn on to the ground) My popcorn! (proceeds to peck the popcorn off the ground like a chicken)


  • SpongeBob: I'll admit. You got some pretty good moves, for a squirrel.
    (all laughing...)
    (laughter stops)
    Patrick: I bet they can't eat a Krabby Double Deluxe in one bite. (gulps a patty down) Ah...
    Sandy: Give me that! They don't call me Cheeks for nothin'. (tries to eat the patty, but is blocked by her helmet)
    (all laugh)
    Patrick: Thank you, thank you.
    Sandy: Well, there's just one thing...
    Mr. Krabs: Can you do this? (his eyeballs go into his head) Everyone in my family can do that!
    Sandy: Uh... (blinks a few times) uh...
    Squidward: How about this (balances six spinning plate on a stick with his tentacles) huh?
    SpongeBob: Can you reproudce by budding? Can ya? Can ya? Can ya? Can ya?
    Sandy: No!
    SpongeBob: Most imporantly... can you do this?
    (gasping three times without releasing any breath)
    Sandy: Well, what would I wanna do any of that dumb stuff for anyway?
    SpongeBob: Admit it, Sandy, you can't do anything a sea creatures can do. In fact, if wasn't for that suit, you couldn't live down here!
    Sandy: Well, you know... (all continue laughing) I don't need to... (all laughing harder) Grr... I'll show ya all! I don't need this air suit! (takes off suit)
    (all gasp)
    Sandy: And I don't need this helmet neither! (throws helmet to ground)
    Mr. Krabs: Neptune preserve her!
    Squidward: How long can she stay like that?
    SpongeBob: I don't know!
    Patrick: Sandy's a girl?
    SpongeBob: Wow Sandy. I guess I was wrong. Land creatures really are best. At least until they have to breathe . . . (Sandy winks) Feelin' light-headed yet? (Sandy shakes her head) Remember this? (SpongeBob takes a deep breath in and out)
    Mr.Krabs: It's free! (Mr.Krabs takes a deep breath too. Sandy starts suffocating underwater, then she puts her head into a pickle jar.)
    Mr. Krabs: I knew it! There was no way some "airhead" was gonna win anything against a water breather!
    Patrick: Airhead... (laughs. The top of his head deflates like a balloon) Huh? (puts thumb in mouth and blows. His head becomes round at the top.)

Trivia/Goofs

  • When Sandy takes off her anti-pressure suit, she is unaffected by the intense pressure deep underwater.
  • This is the only episode where all SpongeBob, Sandy, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, and Patrick are all shown together as real creatures.
  • Sandy dares them to go on the island of "Bikini Atoll". Bikini Atoll was an island that was destroyed by the first Hydrogen Bomb test by the United States that is infamous for showering a Japanese fishing boat with radiation. The fact that Bikini Bottom is implied to be directly underneath where Bikini Atoll was located (or possibly the remains of it) would give a good explanation to the show's setting and anthropomorphic characters.
  • SpongeBob was the only one that went on the island for one minute when Sandy said they made it. Sandy didn't time the others.
  • When SpongeBob flew with his umbrella up the cliff, the flying umbrella was a direct reference to "Mary Poppins" this happens in Grooming Gary also.
  • When Sandy tries to hold her breath underwater she tears her suit off. However, she has it back on in the next scene.
  • How could a pickle jar have air in it if it was opened underwater? Perhaps Sandy had held the jar upside down while taking the lid off.
  • In the episode Tea at the Treedome, SpongeBob and Patrick nearly die when they're in Sandy's house, but when they're above water, the air doesn't seem to affect them. This is probably because Sandy's Treedome doesn't have moist air, unlike an island surrounded by water which would have moist air, which would explain why SpongeBob and Patrick didn't dry up until they were under the heating lamp in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
  • When Sandy says, "Yeah, well this is an accident", the rocks change color as Sandy pushes them down.
  • In "Big Pink Loser", Patrick can't hold his breath above water for 2 seconds, but he holds it for over a minute in this episode.
  • Sandy is a Ty-Beany Baby Plush Toy with a small plastic dome on her head.
  • Eleventh episode to have flowers in background of title card.
  • What was Sandy thinking when she just tore off her helmet? She would have learned that it was saltwater she would be holding her

breath in. Saltwater affects your eyes nearly to death since salt is extremely painful to your eyes. She acted like she was just holding her breath in fresh-water but she would also face salt-in-her eyes like Mr.Krabs did in Krab Borg and the underwater pressure of how deep the Krusty Krab is from Bikini Atoll.

  • Patrick finds out for the first time in this episode that Sandy is a girl.Again,Patrick is stupid.
  • When SpongeBob is dressed like an old man and had one tooth, and when SpongeBob pulls off the disguise, he has two teeth again. They didn't show him pulling the tooth out.
  • When Sandy and SpongeBob race each other the second time, to the Krusty Krab, the Krusty Krab is facing the side, where the front door is to her right when she entered. But when she went in, the Krusty Krab goes back to facing the right way inside, where the boat Squidward works at, the window, the bathroom doors, Mr. Krabs office and the entrance to the kitchen are facing the camera, and it makes it look like Sandy is coming in from the left, where there is no door. The windows are facing that way. So how can she be coming from that side?
  • When Mr. Krabs says "Can you do this?" and he sticks his eyes in and out, he then says "Everyone in my family can do this!" We all doubt that Pearl can do this.
