This article is a transcript of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "The Good Krabby Name" from season 8, which aired on September 3, 2012.
- [Episode starts with Mr. Krabs taking pictures of people passing by, grunting as he does so]
- Mr. Krabs: I gotcha. Whoa! You're a big one. Can't believe I've never seen you in the Krusty Krab before.
- [Scene cuts to Squidward spraying the load bearing beam inside of the restaurant]
- SpongeBob: Hey, Squidward? Hey, Squidward? Hey, Squidward?
- Squidward: What?
- SpongeBob: I haven't seen Mr. Krabs all morning. Do you know where he is?
- Squidward: Don't know. Don't care.
- [Mr. Krabs comes to the inside of the restaurant and accidentally crushes Squidward]
- SpongeBob: Oh there you are, Mr. Krabs. Where have you been?
- Mr. Krabs: I've been conducting a little market research. Where's Squidward?
- Squidward: [groaning] Present...
- Mr. Krabs: You two! Follow me!
- [Squidward and SpongeBob follow Mr. Krabs into his office]
- SpongeBob: Oh wow! You've been busy, Mr. Krabs.
- Mr. Krabs: I want you to take a look at these folks right here. Have you ever seen any of 'em in the Krusty Krab? Think hard.
- SpongeBob: Uuuummmmm, hmm. Um, no, no, no, no, possibly, no, maybe, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and no. No sir, I do not recognize any of them, sir.
- Mr. Krabs: How about you, Squidward?
- Squidward: I try not to look directly at the customers.
- [Mr. Krabs groans and gets a chart]
- Mr. Krabs: Well according to my research, a full 2% of the population of Bikini Bottom has never set foot in the Krusty Krab. That's 2% of money that's not in me pocket. And when I think about that 2%, I get soooooo maaaad!
- SpongeBob: When I see that 2%, I think of pie.
- Mr. Krabs: I'm not talking about pie! [throws chart away] These holdouts are probably spending their money in some other restaurant! We need to find that 2% and reel 'em in. I need you two boys to get out there and promote the Krusty Krab!
- Squidward: Will we get overtime pay?
- Mr. Krabs: Over-what who?
- Squidward: [sarcastically] Oh sure thing, Mr. Krabs. I'll get right on that. [serious] Never.
- SpongeBob: Don't worry Mr. Krabs, I think I know just where to start.
- [Cuts to the outside of the Krusty Krab, where a spatula appears out of the top of the Krusty Krab and reveals a patty, which is SpongeBob in a Krabby Patty costume]
- SpongeBob: Hello, Bottomites! [Jumps down to outside of the Krusty Krab doors, where a customer is going in] Hello sir. Have you ever heard of the most wonderful restaurant in all of Bikini Bottom, the Krusty Krab?
- Ted: Of course I have. That's where I'm going. If you'll get out of my way.
- SpongeBob: Please accept one of our fliers and consider dining at our fine dining establishment the next time you're feeling hungry.
- Ted: But I'm hungry now! [SpongeBob sticks up another flier] Ha-ha! [SpongeBob sticks up two more fliers] Okay, already! [Customer takes fliers and rips SpongeBob's arms off]
- SpongeBob: 0h thank you, sir! Tell all your… friends. Krusty Krab! Eat at the Krusty Krab!
- Patrick: Oh no, I knew this day would come! Invasion of the Giant Patties! There's only one thing to do! It's eat or be eaten.
- [Patrick runs up screaming and tries to eat SpongeBob]
- SpongeBob: Patrick! What are you doing? It's me, SpongeBob!
- Patrick: Oh no, the giant patty has eaten my buddy!
- SpongeBob: Oh my relax Patrick, it's me. This is just a co--
- [Patrick punches SpongeBob]
- Patrick: Cough him up you monster, come here you! [Patrick whirls SpongeBob around, smacking him into the Krusty Krab window, sending him up into the air and knocking off the costume] Die, giant patty, die! Patties should not eat my buddy! [Patrick jumps on the roof and stomps on the costume, causing a lot of flyers to shoot out at SpongeBob. He sends the costume to the air. Plankton walks out of the Chum Bucket]
- Plankton: Boy I don't know what it is, but I feel like there's something in the air. Today is the day I finally get a Krabby Patty. [Costume comes down and squishes Plankton]
- Patrick: You okay, little buddy?
- SpongeBob: Yeah, I'm doing really good, thanks I guess...
- Patrick: What's this? [takes flyer off SpongeBob's head]
- SpongeBob: It's a flyer... to promote the Krusty Krab. ‘Cause Mr. Krabs needs all the money.
- [Patrick wrinkles up the flyer]
- Patrick: Well, this will never do. You gotta think biggerer! Everyone should know about the... uh... Krusty Krab. We need an ad blitz of monumental proportions! Everywhere you look, you should see the name... the Krabby Klam.
- SpongeBob: Uh, Krusty Krab.
- Patrick: Whatever.
- [cuts to Patrick shaving SpongeBob's back]
- SpongeBob: [laughs] That tickles!
- Patrick: Hold still, I'm almost through... Perfect.
- SpongeBob: Don't forget the paint.
- Patrick: Hold on to your shorts, I got it. [Paints the writing on SpongeBob's back which says, Eat at the Krusty Krab]
- SpongeBob: [laughs] It's cold!
- Patrick: Okay, turn around. Open your mouth. [SpongeBob opens his mouth] Wider. [SpongeBob opens his mouth wider] Perfect! [puts paintbrush in SpongeBob's mouth] Ready?
- SpongeBob: [muffled] Ready!
- [Patrick puts more advertisements on the walls of the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob gives him a thumbs-up and the two leave, to which a police officer shows up]
- Officer: [gasps] Graffiti! That's disgraceful! I vow to bring the evil-doer to justice!... Right after I have a Krabby Patty at the Krusty Krab. Hmm.
- [cuts to a scene at a cliff, where SpongeBob and Patrick are standing at the edge]
- SpongeBob: Patrick, what are we doing here?
- Patrick: I hired a skywriter. Oh look, there he is now!
- [A Skywriter falls from the sky and writes "Help Me" on a clipboard]
- Patrick: Somehow, I thought that would be more effective.
- Skywriter: Ow, I think I broke my thesaurus...
- [cuts to scene at forest]
- Troop Leader: Okay, campers, today we're gonna see one of nature's wonders. The Oldest Tree in Bikini Bottom!
- [Patrick is cutting the tree to show Eat at the Krusty Krab. Troop Leader and kids run off, screaming while the tree falls on Patrick. Cuts to scene in bathroom, where SpongeBob comes out with Patrick waiting for him. Customer shows up in bathroom]
- SpongeBob: We left you a present in there. [SpongeBob and Patrick giggle and walk away]
- Customer: Weirdos. [Goes into bathroom] What the? [Customer admires toilet paper, which reads Eat at the Krusty Krab] Eat at the Krusty Krab? I'm disgusted. Yet, strangely... hungry.
- [cuts to the scene in the sky, where Patrick is riding an airplane with a banner that says Eat at the Krusty Krab]
- Patrick: Hey I can see my house from here. [shows aerial view of SpongeBob's, Squidward's, and Patrick's houses. SpongeBob is riding a blimp and SpongeBob turns on the sign, which reads Eat at the Krusty Krab]
- SpongeBob: Huh? [Notices Patrick riding towards him without noticing, Patrick laughs, SpongeBob breaks his steering mechanism] Aaaaaaaahhhh!
- Patrick: Ooh, the Krusty Krab! [Airplane rides above blimp, avoiding the collision]
- SpongeBob: Phew!
- Patrick: Huh? Oh SpongeBob! [Patrick flies toward SpongeBob, colliding with him] Hey SpongeBob. [Airplane and blimp fall out of the sky. Pilar and Tom are looking at the Krusty Krab advertisements]
- Pilar: If I see the words Krusty Krab one more time, I am going to scream. [Blimp and airplane fall right near Pilar and Tom. SpongeBob and Patrick climb out of the ruckus]
- Pilar: Ahem. What does that say?
- SpongeBob: Krusty Krab.
- Pilar: I thought so. [breathes in SpongeBob and Patrick's skin, and he screams at them] [SpongeBob and Patrick's skin come out of Pilar's mouth, but SpongeBob's skin flies to Patrick and Patrick's skin flies to SpongeBob]
- SpongeBob: I think the ad campaign is going very well.
- Patrick: I agree. [Phone rings. SpongeBob picks it up]
- SpongeBob: Hello? Oh hi Mr. Krabs. [cuts to Krusty Krab]
- Mr. Krabs: I don't know what you're doing boy-o, but it's working like gang busterers! This place is as packed to the gills with gills! In fact, I've seen at least half the holdouts, just since this morning! [crosses off one of the 2%]
- SpongeBob: Whoa! I better get back to help with the crowd! [he puts his skin back on]
- Mr. Krabs: Oh don't worry, lad. Squidward's holdin' down the fort. [shows Squidward taking orders and grilling patties at the same time] You just keep doing what you're doing, and bring in that last 1%. [Mr. Krabs hangs up phone]
- SpongeBob: Yeah, but how do we find that last 1%?
- Patrick: Well there's one place we missed. That big pile of roads. [points to a big highway. Cuts to highway, which SpongeBob and Patrick have reached]
- SpongeBob: Hey uh, Patrick? [points to sign that says No Playing on Boatway] We're not supposed to play in traffic.
- Patrick: Well we're not playing, we're working.
- SpongeBob: But what if we get hit by a boat?
- [Truck approaches SpongeBob and Patrick]
- SpongeBob: Tartar sauce.
- Patrick: I got this. [Patrick paints his mouth white and shapeshifts into a traffic cone]
- Buford: You see that, Cletus? It's a pink traffic cone.
- Cletus: Well golly! Hit the brakes, Buford!
- [Truck tries to avoid cone, screeching to a halt and topples over]
- Patrick: Your canvas awaits. [Patrick hands SpongeBob a paintbrush]
- SpongeBob: Thank you Patrick. [SpongeBob hums and paints Eat at the Krusty Krab on truck] Our work here is done. Let's go to the Krusty Krab and greet that last 1%. [SpongeBob and Patrick jump to the Krusty Krab. Thaddeus is driving and notices the truck in front of him]
- Thaddeus: Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! [Thaddeus ends up falling off the boatway]
- SpongeBob: Here they come! [Many people end up falling in front of the Krusty Krab] Mr. Krabs will be so excited! [they enter] We did it, Mr. Krabs! Soon, you'll have more customers than you'll know what to do with!
- Squidward: It's about time. Where have you been? I'm outta here!.[Squidward leaves the Krusty Krab]
- Mr. Krabs: Fire up the grill, laddy! And get ready for customers! And Patrick, buy something, or get out.
- [SpongeBob hears the customers rioting and looks outside]
- SpongeBob: Oh boy! Here they come! [The angry customers approach the Krusty Krab] But they're not happy. We're being boarded! Help me hold the door shut.
- Lou: Hey the door's blocked!
- [Mr. Krabs notices a familiar face and looks at the picture of the last 1%]
- Mr. Krabs: That's him! Let him in! It's the last 1%! [Mr. Krabs throws them aside and lets the customers in.] Come on in, sir. [When the customers are running, he grabs the mailman] Gotcha! [Mr. Krabs sends himself and the mailman up to the top of the restaurant, not noticing the customers breaking the Krusty Krab and throwing SpongeBob and Patrick in the crowd, attacking them.]
- Mailman: What are we doing up here?
- [Mr. Krabs shushes the mailman]
- Mr. Krabs: Let's savor the moment. [Mr. Krabs puts a bib around the mailman] Hold still. Hungry?
- Mailman: I guess so.
- [Mr. Krabs makes a Krabby Patty]
- Mr. Krabs: Try... this.
- Mailman: A Krabby Patty? I've never had one before. [Mailman takes a bite out of the patty]
- Mr. Krabs: That'll be 20 bucks. [Mailman hands Mr. Krabs 20 bucks] Boy, this advertising campaign really paid off! [Krusty Krab gets destroyed]
