- SpongeBob: [jumps out of Gary's shell]
- Mailman: Special delivery for SpongeBob SquarePants.
- SpongeBob: Special delivery? Just for me? You think I'm...special? [hugs the mailman]
- Mailman: Alright, do we have to go through this every time I give you your mail? Sheesh. [leaves]
- SpongeBob: What could it be today, Gary?
- Gary: Meow.
- SpongeBob: [opens package] A videotape? [inserts videotape into VCR. Videotape plays]
- Patchy: Behind the Scenes: The Voices of SpongeBob & Friends.
- Tom Kenny: I'm Tom Kenny, the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants.
- SpongeBob: [struggling to pick up newspaper] Man this is heavy. [drops newspaper and picks it back up in a ball]
- Bill Fagerbakke: I'm Bill Fagerbakke, I am the voice of Patrick Star.
- SpongeBob: [runs into Patrick with ball of newspaper] Oh, pardon me.
- Patrick: Hey, watch where you're going. [screams] Newspaper monster!
- SpongeBob: [throws paper in the air, screaming] Monster!
- Rodger Bumpass: Hi, I'm Rodger Bumpass and I play Squidward J. Tentacles in SpongeBob SquarePants in Bikini Bottom. [does Squidward's laugh]
- SpongeBob & Patrick: [both screaming and running around in circles while paper floats in the air]
- Squidward: Will you two nincompoops kindly quiet down?!
- Clancy Brown: I'm Clancy Brown, I play Mr. Krabs on SpongeBob SquarePants.
- Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob, are you okay? You look kinda... different.
- SpongeBob: Well, I'm not exactly what you'd call okay, Mr. Krabs. You see, my...
- Mr. Krabs: [snaps fingers] Aha! You just forgot to put your hat on. [puts hat on SpongeBob's head] Knew I'd figure it out. [walks away]
- Tom Kenny: The most important thing to remember about SpongeBob is that he's hyperactive.
- SpongeBob: [shouting karate yells and running in circles]
- Tom Kenny: Very sweet, very open.
- SpongeBob: I am SpongeBob and this is Patrick. [laughs nervously]
- Tom Kenny: And no malice whatsoever towards anyone.
- Mr. Krabs: Hold on there, SpongeBob. Let me show you your new station. It's kind of a promotion. Sorta.
- SpongeBob: A promotion? [scene cuts to SpongeBob being lowered in the well by a bucket] Why do I have to go down in the well?
- Mr. Krabs: To collect the money!
- SpongeBob: Thanks for the promotion.
- Bill Fagerbakke: Go back to second grade and think of the best buddy you had when you were seven and that's Patrick.
- SpongeBob: Patrick, this is a wishing well. Just throw in a coin and make a wish.
- Patrick: Okay, magical talking trashcan. [takes out a coin from his pocket] I wish SpongeBob were here to see this. [throws himself and the coin down the well]
- SpongeBob: Patrick.
- Rodger Bumpass: Squidward to me, is an artistic, self-important, curmudgeon.
- SpongeBob: What's the first thing you're gonna wish for?
- Squidward: To be far away from you as possible.
- Rodger Bumpass: He goes from quiet sarcasm with SpongeBob and Patrick, to apoplexy which is one of the things I like about him. He's got a wide range of things that he does.
- Squidward: SpongeBob, why aren't those patties ready?
- SpongeBob/Tom Kenny: You can't rush perfection.
- Squidward/Rodger Bumpass: I'm not rushing perfection. I'm rushing you.
- SpongeBob/Tom Kenny: [laughs] Always the kidder, Squidward.
- Tom Kenny: Always the kidder, Squidward.
- Rodger Bumpass: Again, Tom messed up.
- Tom Kenny: It's always the kidder, Squidward. Not always the kidder eh, Squidward?
- SpongeBob: [laughs] Always the kidder, Squidward.
- Squidward/Rodger Bumpass: Oh, this job stinks! But at least I'm not digging ditches.
- Mr. Krabs/Clancy Brown: [enters the Krusty Krab] Squidward, SpongeBob, I got a new job for ya.
- Clancy Brown: Mr. Krabs is a avaricious crustacean fast food gourmand. Who's main love is the dollar.
- Mr. Krabs/Clancy Brown: You mean suckers throw in money down a hole for fun? That's the greatest scam ever.
- Clancy Brown: Well, the dollar after his daughter...I think...maybe.
- King Krabs: Thou must hand over thy village and thy throne or thy daughter shall be dipped into a cauldron of lava?! Pearl! [Pearl screams]
- Patrick: I guess this is what you call the royal treatment.
- Bill Fagerbakke: Patrick and I share probably more than anything else, personal hygiene...I think.
- Squidward: Patrick!
- Patrick: [shoves Squidward] And stop stepping in my potato salad.
- Bill Fagerbakke: I think our diet is similar....I live under a rock.
- Patrick: [comes out from under his rock drinking coffee and then eats the coffee mug]
- Bill Fagerbakke: [burps] That wasn't a very good one. [burps again and does Patrick's laugh]
- Patrick/Bill Fagerbakke: [burps and laughs] I only tasted six types of sediment.
- SpongeBob/Tom Kenny: I know how to handle this: With a little karate!
- Tom Kenny: I don't think SpongeBob and I have that much in common. For one thing, SpongeBob has a very annoying laugh like [does SpongeBob's laugh] and I don't so [laughs] so that's one thing we don't have in common.
- Mr. Krabs/Clancy Brown: Bubkes! If there's one thing certain in this world, it's that you can't resist me formula. [takes out the formula] You know you want it.
- Clancy Brown: He's very much a crustacean, he's very tough on the outside but soft on the inside. That's what I love about him. And he hires losers. [laughs]
- SpongeBob: What's going on Mr. Krabs?
- Mr. Krabs: Plankton's concocting another hair-brained scheme to steal me recipe. So keep your eyes peeled.
- SpongeBob: Whatever you say, cap'n. [peels eyes]
- Mr. Krabs: Now that's an employee who follows orders.
- Squidly/Rodger Bumpass: Dost thou talketh to me?
- SpongeBob/Tom Kenny: [laughs] Good one, Squidward. [imitates Squidly] "Dost thou talketh to me?" [laughs]
- Squidly/Rodger Bumpass: Scoff not, young squire.
- Rodger Bumpass: The real life person that influences my character of Squidward is me. [laughs] I am Squidward, there's no acting involved.
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [raise up from behind the couch making noises. Squidward spits out his chocolate]
- Mr. Krabs: [laughs] Come on, this has got to be a joke, right?
- Clancy Brown: [does Mr. Krabs' laugh] That's all I do to get into character.
- Squidward: Could you not stand so close? You're making me claustrophobic.
- Patrick/Bill Fagerbakke: What does claustrophobic mean?
- SpongeBob/Tom Kenny: It means he's afraid of Santa Claus.
- Squidward: No, it doesn't.
- Patrick/Bill Fagerbakke: Ho, ho, ho! [giggles]
- SpongeBob/Tom Kenny: Stop it, Patrick, you're scaring him!
- Patrick/Bill Fagerbakke: Ho, ho, ho!
- Squidward: It's not working, Patrick.
- Patrick: Darn.
- Tom Kenny: It's nice to just come into the studio and just become this really nice, positive, hyperactive freak for 4 hours.
- SpongeBob/Tom Kenny: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! [screaming]
- Rodger Bumpass: It's like this all the time here too. It's amazing it never gets finished.
- Clancy Brown, Tom Kenny, and Rodger Bumpass: [walk out of restroom stumbling]
- Tom Kenny: That was cartoon madness.
