SpongeBob, I almost didn't recognize you.
You look awful.
[sniffing]
Ready for work, Mr. Krabs.
Wait a minute. What's the matter with you, boy?
You look like you slept in a pile of trash.
A pile of trash house.
Patrick and I built one out back with all your garbage.
With my garbage on my land?
I'll be charging ya a reasonable rental fee.
How much?
Mm. Your paycheck oughta cover it.
Gee, I didn't know being homeless was so expensive.
[groaning]
Play.
[SpongeBob groaning]
Hey there, SpongeBob. Feeling any better?
Awe. Why don't you come with me?
I have a little surprise for you.
I'm not really in the mood, Sandy.
Awe, quit acting like a calf with colic.
Come on, SpongeBob.
Gee, Sandy, where'd you get an outdoor amphitheater?
Don't worry about that.
Just sit right here and enjoy the play.
Okay.
[humming]
Welcome, ladies and morons!
It's time for the exciting conclusion
to... the Case of the Curious Cliffhanger.
[laughing]
Whoo!
She really knows how to pound 'em down.
Huh, SpongeBob?
[SpongeBob snoring]
SpongeBob? [SpongeBob snoring]
SpongeBob?
[snoring]
Sponge--
[snoring]
That's a good looking doughnut.
Wow.
[laughing]
Whoa! What the?
[snoring]
This doughnut's connected to SpongeBob.
[groaning]
Oh.
It worked.
[laughing]
Mr. Krabs is gonna be upset.
[laughing]
Sponge... cake.
[knocking]
[humming]
[gasping]
Hey, buddy, are you ready?
Ready for your first day of glorious unemployment?
Or as I like to call it, fun employment?
Yeah, sure. Whatever.
That's the spirit.
Now, the first stop on our tour
of fun employment is a healthy breakfast
with our good friend Mr. Squidward.
Hey, Squidward.
How are you this fine morning?
[growling]
How many times do I have to tell you?
Keep... off... my... petunias!
I'll just save this for later.
Now, you try.
[groaning]
[laughing]
Hey, Squidward. Look at me. I'm fun employed.
[growling]
[grumbling]
Hey, you're good at this.
[grunting] SpongeBob?
SpongeBob?
Hey, what you watching?
My favorite show.
[chuckles] I love that part.
SpongeBob, snap out of it.
It's me, your best friend, Patrick.
What's that? I can't hear you
with all the lonely voices in my head.
Oh, man. He's too far gone.
Not fit to live in society.
Is this all my fault? Me and my dumb ideas.
I'm so sorry.
Patrick! Your tears, they're melting the glue.
Keep crying.
I'll do the same and maybe I can slip out of this thing.
[crying]
[grunting] Look, it worked!
Alright!
Don't worry, doughnut, no longer will you suffer
the indignity of subpar dining ware.
I don't think I've ever seen a doughnut this nice before.
[laughing]
Except maybe that doughnut SpongeBob showed me last night.
A doughnut this nice could really make a guy happy.
[snoring]
[horn blowing]
Ah, and I almost had it!
[horn blowing]
Alarm clock, how do I turn this thing off?
Think! Think! Think! Think!
[meowing]
Gary!
[horn blowing, squeaking]
Okay, let's begin the experiment.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, next.
Oh, boy, lunch.
Ah.
More. More.
Very interesting.
Okay, next. SpongeBob!
I almost didn't recognize you. You look awful.
What are you doing with these here freeloaders?
I got fired. Now I'm fun employed.
Whoo hoo.
Whoa there. You do not want to eat that.
Why? What is it?
Heck if I know. This here's a psychological test
to see how much weird gunk folks will eat if it's free.
Who's for seconds?
Me!
Here ya go, little buddy.
Ah. Mm.
SpongeBob, you're a mess. You're falling apart.
Come on now, SpongeBob.
You need to pull yourself together.
Get some structure in your life. What you need is a new job.
You're right, Sandy.
I'm afraid I can't do this anymore, Patrick.
Unemployment may be fun for you, but I need to get a job.
Who do you think you're fooling, you loser?
You couldn't keep a job if you tried.
Hey, you can talk to my friend like that.
Don't listen to him, SpongeBob. You need to follow your heart.
Thanks, Patrick. It's time to rejoin the workforce.
Gainful employment, here I come.
[grunting]
Hey, Patrick.
[shrieking]
Hey, SpongeBob.
Are you ready to--
I don't have anything behind my back,
so don't look there!
Okay, no problem. Ready to see this?
The official testament of how heartily we party...
hardy?
No-o-o-o! [crying]
I took it, SpongeBob. I took your doughnut. I'm sorry.
Oh, Patrick.
You really need to see this video.
I want to give you this because you're my buddy
and a doughnut this nice could really make a guy happy.
You mean... this is mine?
Of course, it was your birthday.
When?
Last night, silly.
Oh. Thanks, buddy.
Hey, wanna share it?
Sure, pal.
Pretty good, huh?
