Plot

SpongeBob wakes up and wakes Gary. He tells the world he is ready. He sees Squidward getting a package in the mail, with the mailfish erroneously pronouncing his last name as "Tennisballs". SpongeBob questions that Squidward's last name is "Tentacles", and Patrick says poor guy. He opens the cage, which contains a snail named Snellie. Patrick checks out Squidward's new snail. SpongeBob sees this and tells Gary that he has a new little playmate. However, Squidward immediately protests and explains that Snellie is a purebred of the highest pedigree, and that she is going to be entered in the Bikini Bottom Snail Race on Sunday and she will win it.

SpongeBob says that he can't enter Gary because Sunday is laundry day. Squidward then tells SpongeBob that he can't enter Gary because Gary is a "mutt", which offends SpongeBob. He asks what makes Squidward think Gary couldn't win. Squidward says the paper. Patrick reads Snellie's pedigree certificate and misreads Squidward's name as "Tentpoles", which makes Squidward angry, yet again. SpongeBob decides to enter Gary into the race. Patrick also decides to enter into the competition.

SpongeBob (wearing a play mustache and a coach's outfit) tells Gary to start training now. Sandy is walking and decides to kick SpongeBob's butt tomorrow, but she doesn't know why. SpongeBob makes a shake with weird ingredients and gives it to Gary, but Gary runs to the living room. Patrick Shows SpongeBob his snail, which is a rock. Patrick says he has nerves of steel. SpongeBob decides to train Gary as hard as he can.

On the day of the race, Gary is exhausted from SpongeBob's brutal training. During the race, his eyes and shell explode, revealing a car engine, and he spirals out of control like a race car. SpongeBob, seeing the error of his ways, tells Gary that he can stop now, but Gary keeps on going. SpongeBob runs onto the track, which the announcer says that it's an "automatic disqualification". Gary hits the wall and explodes completely.

Snellie, who is almost at the finish line, turns around to help Gary, and the two instantly fall in love. Squidward is shocked at this and walks onto the track, and SpongeBob says to him, "Looks like you and me are in-laws, eh, Squidward?". Squidward then sees that, much to his surprise, Patrick's rock won the race. Squidward is very upset by this, but Patrick then tells Squidward that he had the trophy engraved to him, and gives it to him, knowing how much Squidward wanted to win. Squidward thanks Patrick, but then reads the trophy, which reads "The 1st place Snail Racing cup presented to Squidward... TORTELLINI?!" He groans and says "Will I ever win?", and they all start laughing and then Sandy appears onscreen kicking SpongeBob yelling "That's for yesterday, SquarePants!".

Transcript

Quotes

  • Patrick Star:" Wow. A snail made out of bread!"
    Squidward Tentacles: "No! Purebred means she's of the highest Pedigree."
  • SpongeBob SquarePants: "Well, I can't enter Gary on that race (silence for a while) Sunday's laundry day!"
  • SpongeBob SquarePants: (to Gary) "Are you thinking what I'm thinking? (A thought bubble appears above Gary showing him watching TV) No no no! I'm thinking about entering you in that race and beating Squidward!"
  • SpongeBob SquarePants: (to Gary) "Kelp powder for muscle mass. (drops the kelp powder in a blender as Gary looks on with disgust) Raw eggs, 'cause they're cliché. (drops the eggs in the blender) And nails for toughness." (SpongeBob drops the nails in the blender and turns it on.)
  • Man: "Hello, and welcome to the 34th annual snail race, of which I am a huge fan! Seriously, I'm just a fan. I was on my way to my seat, the door was open and I-"
  • Announcer: "Hey, what are you doing here?! (Chases the fan out)
  • Man: Aeh Aeh no!
  • Announcer: He he..Sorry about that folks."
  • Squidward Tentacles: (Patrick hands him the Trophy) "Gosh, Patrick. Thanks. The 1st place Snail Racing cup presented to Squidward... TORTELLINI?!! Will I ever win?"
    (SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward all laugh.)
  • Patrick Star: "You can run, but you can't hide, SquarePants!"
  • Squidward Tentacles: "It's tennis balls! deah tentacles!"
  • SpongeBob: (sees Gary watching TV)"Come on Gary, the Big Race is tomorrow, you gotta start training if you want to win."

  • Squidward Tentacles: (to Patrick) "Patrick, that's a rock."
    Patrick Star: "Thanks, I know. He's got nerves of steel." (referring to Rocky)

Trivia/Errors

  • The music played during the title card and when Lightning Larry is heading to light the torch is identical in tune to "Now that we're Men from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, which this episode predates by over a year.
  • Running Gag: Someone mispronouncing Squidward's last name, and Patrick saying his snail (rock) has nerves of steel.
  • The mayor in this episode is also the 1st mayor of New Kelp city in "What Ever Happened To Spongebob?".
  • A snail identical to Snellie appears in "The Sponge Who Could Fly" as Mrs. Puff's snail. However, she states that, "I've had her since I was a little girl," meaning that this could not be Snellie. Also in "Gary in Love" Snellie appears as Mary. This could be because Snellie is likely a character model.
  • When Patrick is reading Snellie's certificate, he says, "Property of Squidward Tentpoles" when it actually reads "Owned by Squidward Tentacles", only to be corrected.
  • Gary crashes into a wall and is still on the track. However, when the race begins, the track is in the center of the stadium, far from the walls.
  • After Gary crashes, Snellie is about to reach the finish line, and at the rate she was moving, she would have crossed it before turning around for Gary.
  • SpongeBob was wearing red pants, but in the stadium, there is a close-up where Gary is in the floor and SpongeBob's pants are blue.
  • SpongeBob: "...raw eggs 'cause they're cliche," is a clear reference to Rocky.
  • This episode was the only episode from the Hillenburg era (1999–2004) and season 3 on the "Where's Gary"? DVD.
  • When Snellie goes back to Gary, the ground she is on is sand, not the track.
  • The first episode to air in 2003.
  • There is a deleted scene in which Sandy is arrested for kicking spongebob's butt. This was cut for obvious reasons.
  • SpongeBob's unicycle, first seen in "Boating School", appears in this episode.
  • SpongeBob shouts "Move it! Move it!" like Lt. Harris in Police Academy.
  • This is the second time Patrick got a pet rock. The first time is revealed in "Truth or Square TV Guide 2009", when, in a comic Patrick (explaining how he built his house) says "I just waited 'till my pet rock had babies...."
  • This is the second time SpongeBob had rivalry with Squidward. The first time was in the episode,"Employee of the Month", while the third time was in "SpongeBob vs. The Patty Gadget".
  • When Patrick appears on SpongeBob's window to brag about his own snail, he is not standing on Squidward at all if we look from inside the house. Squidward's head was not even blocking the window.
  • It seems that SpongeBob forced Gary to take a shower since Gary hates baths.
  • Before Spongebob and Patrick heard about the race, only Squidward signed up for the race. Later on, only SpongeBob and Patrick became the other [only] contestants. Squidward might have tried to win by simply having no competition.
  • When we zoom in to Gary being exhausted in the starting line, Rocky's lane was missing. In fact, SpongeBob wasn't even standing on it.
  • In the Hebrew version, the word "Tennisballs" is replaced with the inappropriate word "Testacles".
  • There are two Nat Petersons after Gary blows up his second eye.
  • Even though both of Gary's eyes blew up, his right one was still there. It looked deflated, though.
  • There were at least five lanes when Gary was sliding out of control.
  • When SpongeBob runs to Gary his hat and mustache are gone.
  • In this episode, Gary has engine parts in his shell. This is not true in other episodes (although it could be for comedic effect).
  • When Gary slides against the wall, he is going really fast, even though the track is a couple of metres long, meaning that he would've won.
  • In the Brazilian dubbing, Squidward's last name "Tentáculos" is misspelled "Tem Tacos" (have clubs) by the mailman and "Tem Óculos" (have eyeglasses) by Patrick. Snellie is called "Caracolina", a combination of "Caracol" (snail) and "Carolina" (a given name).
  • Squidward appears to take great care for Snellie, but in The Thing, Patrick says that Squidward hates pets.
  • In later episodes, Squidward doesn't have Snellie as a pet.
  • It is revealed that a scene where Sandy gets arrested for kicking SpongeBob is cut for unknown reasons.
  • In a recent airing (4/18/2012) at the Philippines (a single episode) the credits are different form that of the original because it uses the credits from a future episode that is paired with The Krabby Kronicle. That is because the Nickelodeon telenovela Grachi ends late.
  • It is revealed that Squidward's last name is Tentacles.
  • Rocky probably won the race because Patrick had pushed him to the finish line, then Patrick would have been disqualified.
  • Gary could not have been exhausted after standing at the starting line for two whole hours.
