- "This Grill is Not a Home":
A stove is a stove no matter where you go.
A patty is a patty. That's what I say.
A grill is a grill. This is surely so.
And fries should be fries either way.
But this grill is not a home. This is not the stove I know.
I would trade it all away if you come back to stay.
This kitchen's not the same without you.
It's just a greasy spoon (Just a greasy spoon)
without you.

Plot
It is closing time at the Krusty Krab, and Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that he's going to play a card game against Plankton. SpongeBob is shocked at this, and asks why he'd play against such an evil person. Mr. Krabs explains that Plankton is the worst card player in Bikini Bottom, and he's been winning every week for the last 15 years. In the morning, he tells SpongeBob that he lost, and that he bet SpongeBob's contract. SpongeBob is taken to the Chum Bucket and forced to work for Plankton, who commands him to make a Krabby Patty, threatening to remove his brain and put it in a robot. However, SpongeBob is unable to work in the Chum Bucket's cold, laboratory-like kitchen, and Karen suggests Plankton to show SpongeBob compassion and understanding so that he'll obey him. Plankton goes to great lengths to accommodate SpongeBob's working conditions, eventually converting the Chum Bucket kitchen into an exact replica of the Krusty Krab kitchen. However, SpongeBob is still not satisfied, and demands even more of Plankton, acting like a spoiled brat.
Eventually, Plankton takes out SpongeBob's brain and implants it in the robot. However, the robot also refuses to make a Krabby Patty, so Plankton restores SpongeBob back to normal and gives him back to Mr. Krabs, saying that he can't stand him and admitting that cheated in the card game. Mr. Krabs welcomes him back and encourages SpongeBob to return to work. However, SpongeBob still does not want to make a Krabby Patty, but when Mr. Krabs starts becoming angry, he quickly goes back to work.
