Transcript

• (the clock rings five times at five o’clock)
• SpongeBob: Gary! Looks like it's that time of week again: bath time(then Garys pupils turn small). Come on, let's go get the water started. You're gonna have to get in that tub, Gary. Now, Gary, we can do this the hard way, or the easy way, or the medium way, or the semi-medium-easy-hard way, or the sorta hard with a touch of awkward-easy-difficulty-challenging way. So that's how you wantto play it, huh? Gary! Check out this new toy. (throws the ball) Fetch. (toy boomerangs back to SpongeBob then reads the box) "New" Boomerang Pet Ball: Really Works! Hmmm. (throws the box but it boomerangs back and hits SpongeBob in the head) Gary! There's a bomb strapped to my chest! It's gonna explode in 3 seconds unless you take a bath! Please... (bomb explodes) I am now going to assault your mind with subliminal messages. (random pictures come up then a Scottish Girl picture appears laughing) Sorry you had to see that. (on the phone) Hello, Fancy French Restaurant? I've got a naughty snail here who won't take a bath. What? Can you say that again? Slow down. It's like you're speaking some other language. (hangs up) Hey Gar! How 'bout some leap frog? Weehee! Ok, your turn. (flips Gary into the wall and breaks his shell) Hey Gar! How 'bout some leap frog? (a cane hits him in the head) I've got a crisp dollar bill for the next fella to take a bath in this house. (Mr Krabs comes in taking a bath then takes the dollar) Ya-da-da-da... (stops dancing) That didn't work either, huh? (SpongeBob dressed as a pirate) Gary! Gary! Gary! Look what I found. It's an old, pirate treasure map revealing a location of buried pirate treasure in this very house. Come on, boy, let's go get that treasure. Whoo! Ok, Gary, now 40 paces to the left. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10... 24, 25, 26, 27... 40. The treasure must be in here! (opens bathroom door) Wow, Gary, look! A pirate treasure chest.
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: Why no, Gary, this isn't the bathtub. (kicks away paint tin) It's treasure. Look, dubloons. (shows 2 bars of soap) Don't drop them. Look at this broach. (shows a rubber duck)
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: I don't know what a snail would want with a broach. Now why don't you just get into the tub. (tries to throw Gary in the tub, but fails) Get in the tub! (tries to throw Gary in the tub but fails again) Get in the tub. (tries to throw Gary in the tub, but fails again) Get in the tub. (tries to throw Gary in the tub, but fails again) In the tub. (tries to throw Gary in the tub, but fails again) In the tub. (tries to throw Gary in the tub, but fails again)(One Time, Gary floated above tub, and teleported to floor)Now, Gary, are you gonna get in this tub or am I gonna have to... (picks up Gary but both stick to the ceiling) Gary, could you... (one of Gary's eyes go back in and SpongeBob loses grip) Gary, no! Gary! (SpongeBob falls in the tub) Alright, Gary, you have dooped and/or frustrated me for the last time. So, if I can't get you to come to the bath, I'll just have to bring the bath to you. (absorbs all the water in the bathtub) Psst, Gary. Bath delivery. (SpongeBob spits water at Gary, but misses) Come back, Gary. I have something to chair with you. (SpongeBob spits a lot of water at Gary, but misses) Dish is more like it. (SpongeBob spits a lot of water at Gary, but misses a few times, Gary escapes through the little door, and SpongeBob spits a lot of water at Gary through the little door, and opens the door) Water you waiting for, Gary?
• Gary: (meowing in a tree)
• SpongeBob: Aww, stuck in a tree? It's time to clean up your act, Gary. (spits out water at Gary but realizes it's a record playing) Oh, no! I bathed Gary too hard and removed his skin. (Gary takes the ladder off the tree) Gary! Bring that ladder back this instant. (Gary knocks down the ladder) I am really not amused, mister. You are going to take a bath, and you are going to get clean right now.
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: I am so the boss of you.
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: It may be a free country, but you live in my house under my rules.
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: Don't use that tone of voice with me. You will do what I say when I say. What are you doing? I am talking to you, mister. Do not go near that mud puddle! Gary, the snail, do you hear me? I am giving you three seconds to get away from that mud puddle. One, two, two and a half... don't make me say three. (Gary leans over the puddle) Gary! Gary! Gary! Gary! (SpongeBob falls in the mud puddle) I'm a dirty boy.
• (in the bathroom)
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: Yeah, yeah, Gary. I'm getting behind my ears. (Gary smiles)

Trivia/Goofs

• This episode runs 6 minutes and about 30 seconds long. It was the third episode running less than 11 minutes. The first two were "Help Wanted" and "Reef Blower".
• It is also somewhat similar to Martin Stellman's For Queen and Country. As Denzel Washington's character, Reuben James, turned vigilant to clean up his crime-infested neighborhood in London which he did as he would walk off into the night, SpongeBob tried anything to get Gary clean but he ends up getting dirtier and has to take a bath instead.
• Tom Kenny (as SpongeBob and Gary) voiced a 7-minute solo in this episode.
• Before SpongeBob falls in the mud, he says to Gary "Bring that ladder back this instant!". SpongeBob could've gotten down then, because the ladder was touching the tree.
• "Shanghaied" and this episode were the first two short SpongeBob SquarePants specials.
• Watch episode here.
• When SpongeBob hands Gary the soap and the duck, and after he says "I don't know what a snail would want with a brooch!", in the next shot the soap and the duck are gone.

• The bathtub starts on the first floor, but during the pirate scene, it's on the 2nd floor and it's later revealed that SpongeBob's room is on a 3rd Floor.
• This is The 5th Time Mr. Krabs is seen in SpongeBob's House.
• Cameo By Eugene H. Krabs
• When Spongebob is shooting water at Gary, he never seems to shrink after he has spat a bunch of water. Also, he seems to absorb far more water as there was in the tub to begin with.
