- [SpongeBob and Patrick are sitting in a time machine]
- SpongeBob: [as his face changes triumphantly] Patrick, with this time machine, we can go back in time, and see Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy in their prime as young super heroes!
- Patrick: [his eyes bulge] GO! GO! GO! [rips of SpongeBobs arm and presses the go button with it, sending them to a time seeing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy as British-like elders riding high bikes]
- SpongeBob: Eh, no. [presses the go button with two hands, sending him and Patrick to a time seeing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy as cavemen, riding a Tyrannosaurus Rex fish] Too far. [uses three hands to press the go button, sending him and Patrick to a time seeing Mermaid Man as a robot with one of his hands as Barnacle Boy, twisting him] Oops! Wrong way! [Patrick uses his head to press the go button, sending him and SpongeBob to a time seeing Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy as babies]
- Baby Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy: [wailing] Change our diapers!
- SpongeBob and Patrick: AAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
- Fish Head: [a question mark is shown up] Will they get it right? Will SpongeBob and Patrick get to see their super heroes in their super prime?
