Cultured cosmopolitan living her best life?
Or secret sadist lurking in the front row.
This is Bikini Bottom Mysteries.
Norma Rechid's always in the know.
Following the latest fads and the hottest celebrities.
Oh, look at his gorgeous wrinkles!
When she's not at her first, second, third, fourth or fifth job,
she's snagging seats at Bikini Bottom's coolest galas and gigs.
But is there something abnormal about Norma?
Exhibit A: on edge.
Under that placid smile,
Norma is no mild-mannered minnow.
She'll fly into a frenzy at the very mention of a monster.
Monster!
That may seem reasonable, but ask yourself this:
would you be horrified at the very sight of a squirrel?
Get in the car, kids.
At a mere snail?
- Meow. - Ahh!
At the latest dance craze?
Tommy, ah!
- Me son's, he's... - I'm just doing The Crab.
And what kind of person goes berserk at the sight of a flawless tan?
Maybe someone with something to hide.
Exhibit B: cold-blooded.
Norma might seem cheerful and charming. Sure, she gives out free cookies.
- Free sample? - Cookies!
- Hosts the local Hug Fest. - Aw, does someone need a hug?
- And has a bit of a sweet tooth. - We're selling chocolate bars.
- Would you like to buy one? - I'll take one.
Is she really a soft-hearted swimmer?
We might look to Nurse Norma for helping and healing.
Now open wide.
Yet hospital records show that her so-called care
took this snail-plankton hybrid from healthy to bandaged and bed ridden.
- Gary! - The doctor says
there's nothing more we can do.
And take a look at those tools.
To panicked for basic sanitation, Nurse Rechid?
Innocent medical error made in a fevered frenzy?
Perhaps, or perhaps she's using her hysterics
as a cover for something far crueler.
Could it be at this faint-hearted fish actually has ice in her veins?
How rude.
Ask yourself that, while under the guise of fin-flipping fright,
Norma uses her own baby carriage as a battling ram,
and then goes back for more.
And take a closer look at this footage.
She threatens to steal food
from her own baby.
I can take your formula whenever I want to,
and you couldn't do a thing about it.
But why so panic in pain?
Is it for power? Personal gain?
Or for something even sicker?
Could it be for Norma's own entertainment?
Exhibit C: appetite for agony.
It seems like Norma's got the best seats for every spectacle,
even suffering.
As this desperate business man burns himself alive,
Norma is leading the cheers from the front row.
And while this octopus' face gets slammed repeatedly by a metal door,
guess who's watching eagerly from every angle.
Norma may like parties, but this is one bash we'd rather skip.
Chum on a stick!
In this shocking footage, she seeks out a snack
while waiting for someone to get mauled.
Well, all this waiting around for some to get mauled
is making me a bit hungry.
Seems like standard fair for this aficionado of anguish.
Because while grabbing a patty,
Norma is sitting right next to a health inspector
just moments before he chokes on a nasty patty.
[gagging]
But does Nurse Norma spring into action?
I don't think so.
It seems like she watches the urgent distress of her fellow diner
from her front row seat.
And keeps chewing.
It seems like Norma lucked out with dinner and a show.
So is Norma just a skittish socialite,
or is she secretly a connoisseur of cruelty?
There's no way to know for sure, but one thing's absolutely certain.
Norma is anything but normal.
And now, a Bikini Bottom Bonus Mystery.
Delicious Krabby Patties are made fresh to order.
One Crying Johnny, coming up!
But even the most perfect patties don't age well.
[screaming]
And according to the sacred fry cook oath...
That which is fried, must be eaten.
So how and why is there a giant patty vault
full of juicy Krabby Patties in perfect condition?
Is this vault somehow preserving the patties?
Why stockpile patties that are usually made to order?
And has this rule-abiding fry cook broken his oath?
I can't let them eat you! No.
File this one under U for unlock the vault!
