Mr. Krabs: Wonderful! Pufflily-poo, your chariot awaits!

Mrs. Puff: Well…

Mr. Krabs: *whistles and two men join the waiter in carrying a screaming Mrs. Puff away* You'll never have to walk again, my little lobster bib.

He sighs as the waiter approaches him again.

Waiter: Your bill, sir.

Mr. Krabs: *takes the bill* Huh? What? [it shows the bill] $100?! Well, this can't possibly be correct!

Waiter: Oh, my mistake, sir. Thank you for pointing that out. *hands Mr. Krabs a different bill* This is your bill.

Lincoln Loud: What are you gonna do?

Mr. Krabs: I don't know, boy! I've got another date tomorrow! I'm caught in the middle of me two great loves! Sweet Mrs. Puff, and the rest of me money! *continues crying*

Lincoln Loud: We wish there was some way we could help.

Mr. Krabs: *stops crying* Perhaps there is, boy! *hands SpongeBob his wallet* I'm puttin' you in charge of me money.

The slide transition shows Mrs. Puff's house. Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob and Lincoln walk up to it.

Mr. Krabs: Now remember, we keep it cheap by going to the park. And no matter how much I ask you, you don't give me any of me money. Now give me a dollar.

Lincoln Loud: Nope.

Mr. Krabs: Good boy! You'll do fine. *knocks on the door*

Mrs. Puff: *offscreen; singingly* Who is it?

Mr. Krabs: It's me, *my pupils turn into hearts* my beautiful bell buoy!

Mrs. Puff is heard giggling.

Mrs. Puff: Just a minute!

Mr. Krabs: *my pupils turn back to normal* Flowers! Flowers, boys! Go get flowers!

SpongeBob SquarePants: But you said…

Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob, you can't call on a classy lady like Mrs. Puff empty-handed. We ain't talking about this... *makes a square in the air* ...or this... *makes a triangle in the air* ...we're talking about this! *makes the circle in the air*

Mr. Krabs: We had an agreement, boys. You ain't supposed to spend any of me money!

Lincoln Loud: But you said…

As Mr. Krabs' pupils turn to hearts again.

Mr. Krabs while Mrs. Puff opens the door and he grabs the flowers.

Mr. Krabs: For you, Mrs. Puff!

Mrs. Puff: Oh.

As she is grabbing the flowers.

While he holds out an empty claw.

Mr. Krabs: And here's a box of chocolates. *turns back to SpongeBob and Lincoln* SpongeBob and Lincoln, where's the chocolates?

Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob and Lincoln, you can't go to Mrs. Puff's house without chocolates. Hurry! Hurry!

SpongeBob SquarePants and Lincoln Loud: *runs off, then comes back with the heart-shaped box of chocolates*

SpongeBob SquarePants: We bought the biggest box they had!

Mr. Krabs: Buy, buy, buy! Spend, spend, spend! Is that all you can think about?!

As Mr. Krabs' pupils turn back into hearts.

Mrs. Puff: Oh, Eugene!

As Mr. Krabs offer Mrs. Puff the box of chocolates.

Mr. Krabs: Here's those chocolates I bought for you. What are we doing today, Mrs. Puff? Dinner? Dancing? A trip to the moon?

SpongeBob and Lincoln while Mr. Krabs' eyes turn back to normal.

Lincoln Loud: Psst, Mr. Krabs, we're just going for a walk in the park, remember?

Mrs. Puff: Actually, a walk in the park sounds perfect. It's a beautiful day. I'll just need to get a sun hat and…

Mr. Krabs while his pupils turn back into hearts.

Mr. Krabs: Mrs. Puff needs a sun hat, SpongeBob and Lincoln!

SpongeBob SquarePants: Oh, I think she-

Mr. Krabs: The sun is beatin' down on poor Mrs. Puff's head.

SpongeBob SquarePants: As your financial advisor, I suggest-

Mr. Krabs: *my eyes are back to normal* There's no time for suggestions! Go buy a hat!

SpongeBob SquarePants and Lincoln Loud: *starts to leave, but comes back*

Lincoln Loud: But…

Mr. Krabs: Today!

SpongeBob SquarePants and Lincoln Loud: *runs off*

SpongeBob SquarePants: Don't worry, Mrs. Puff! I'll *takes out a barrel* shade ya! *places the barrel on Mrs. Puff's head*

Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob and Lincoln, hurry!

As he and SpongeBob come back from the store with a large straw hat.

Lincoln Loud: One shady hat.

Mr. Krabs: Good job, lad. *puts the hat on Mrs. Puff*

Mrs. Puff: Oh, well, thank you, but you didn't need to buy one. I have a hat in the closet.

Mr. Krabs: Didn't need to buy one? *turns my head around like an owl to face SpongeBob and Lincoln, still grinning* You hear that, boy? *in high pitch* We didn't need to buy a hat. *angrily* Aren't you supposed to be saving me money?!

SpongeBob SquarePants: We're trying, Mr. Krabs! But you keep telling us to buy things for Mrs. Puff! It's all really confusing.

Lincoln Loud: Is that right, Mr. Krabs?

Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob, Lincoln, I'm sorry. This is my fault. I'm not thinking clearly. I'm making a sailor's promise, boys. From this moment on, I won't ask you to buy anything for Mrs. Puff!

SpongeBob and Lincoln are seen sitting on the ground, their arms stretched, and they are panting.

Mr. Krabs: *runs up, my eyes are shaped like hearts* SpongeBob and Lincoln! I'm glad I caught you. I want you to buy Mrs. Puff…

Lincoln Loud: Wait! Don't tell me.

SpongeBob SquarePants: You want us to run down to the store and buy Mrs. Puff something she doesn't need! Then you want me to run back here so you can say, *stretches out my eyeballs, imitating Mr. Krabs* "Arrr, SpongeBob! Yer spending all me money!" And then I'll say, "But Mr. Krabs, I'm only doing what you said!" Then you'll say, "We're not talking about this..." *makes the triangle* ..."Or this"... *makes the square* ..."we're talking about this!" *squiggles all over the screen*

The screen fades out for a moment. Fades back in to see SpongeBob and Lincoln panting with Mr. Krabs.

Mrs. Puff: Are we going to the park soon?

Mr. Krabs: Please, lad, I'm begging you! I'm a lonely old crustacean who's found love! Don't let me lose her! *tarts to cry*

SpongeBob SquarePants: Mr. Krabs, don't. Don't cry, Mr. Krabs! Come on. Okay, I, I'm going to get it, see? *walks offscreen, and comes back with a washing machine* Cheer up, Mr. Krabs, Here's that washing machine you wanted.

Lincoln Loud: *offscreen* Cheer up.

Mr. Krabs: Cheer up? How can I cheer up... when you're spending all me hard-earned cash?!

SpongeBob SquarePants: See?! You just did it again!

Mr. Krabs: Lad, I can't help it if you're loose with other people's money.

SpongeBob SquarePants: *gets a blank expression on my face*

Mr. Krabs Do you think Mrs. Puff will need a dryer to go along with that?

SpongeBob SquarePants: *angrily* Arrgh! Regga flebba breeka brecka smullen-ellen!

SpongeBob SquarePants and Lincoln Loud: *angrily walks past Mrs. Puff while muttering*

Mr. Krabs' mouth is agape.

Mrs. Puff: I didn't know SpongeBob and Lincoln had such a colorful vocabulary. Actually, there's something I'd like to say, too, Mr. Krabs. *takes off my fur coat, shoes and hat* I'm afraid I just don't feel comfortable accepting all these gifts. I'd rather go Dutch, if you don't mind. *hands him some money from my purse*

Mr. Krabs: Uh, okay.

Mrs. Puff: You're a very sweet man, Mr. Krabs. *kisses him and his eyes bend into the shape of a heart*

As Mr. Krabs’ eyes make a heart.

Mr. Krabs: Aawww...
