• [opening shot of the Krusty Krab]
• SpongeBob: [singing] ♪Krabby Patties, Krabby Patties, love cookin' me some Krabby Patties! Feedin' all the children and the mommies and the daddies! Love servin' up the most delicious dish, but before I can, gotta add a little of this!♪ [takes tartar sauce bottle but it's empty] Hmm, time to refill the tartar sauce. [goes to a large tartar sauce bucket but it's empty] Empty! I thought I'd never see the day. "Use on or before the date printed below." [gasps] This can has been here for 50 years. That's longer than me! Oh, important Krusty Krab relic, what shall we do with ye?
• Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob, throw that trash out and get back to work!
• SpongeBob: Trash? Oh, but, Mr. Krabs, this should be in a museum for future generations to enjoy.
• Mr. Krabs: [gets an idea] Hmm. Future generations, huh?
• [Bubble transition]
• Mr. Krabs: Welcome to the Krusty Krab Time Capsule Spectacular! That's right! In 50 years, your donated treasures will be honored for future generations to enjoy! [to SpongeBob and Squidward] All right, you guys got donations covered, right?
• SpongeBob: Sir, yes, sir!
• Squidward: Whatever.
• Mr. Krabs: I'm gonna go ahead and take care of souvenirs!
• [Nat brings a toaster]
• SpongeBob: The peoples of the future must see this, so they will know how we toasted bread in the before time. So that they can understand the...
• Squidward: Garbage. That'll be a $5 contribution fee. [SpongeBob puts the toaster in the time capsule]
• Mr. Krabs: And there's your commemorative time capsule key chain. That'll be $49.57.
• Billy: But, this thing's made out of rusty old paper clips and cardboard!
• Mr. Krabs: All right. You drive a hard bargain. I'll throw in a coupon for one free ice cube in a purchase of any large cola at the Krusty Krab. What do ya say?
• Billy: [takes coupon] Deal!
• [Mr. Krabs puts the money away in his shell and sighs]
• [Sadie brings a lamp]
• SpongeBob: What a beautiful lamp, ma'am, so ornate, essential for night time reading.
• Sadie: Why, thank you, young man!
• Squidward: No, thank you for completely failing our future generations with your donation. I mean, seriously, ma'am, did you just grab the first thing you saw this morning?
• Sadie: Well, actually..
• Squidward: [imitates Sadie] "Hmm. Oh, whatever will I donate to the time capsule? Golly, this is hard! How about [gasps] this lamp?! It's [sarcastically] perfect!"
• Sadie: Wow, you're good. How did you know all that? Are you like a psychic? Oh, oh, oh! Tell me what I'm thinking!
• Squidward: Next. [throws the lamp]
• SpongeBob: [catches the lamp in his face] Hey, nice pass, Squidward!
• [Bubble transition; a strange man brings a plate]
• Squidward: Uh-huh. Tell me, what do you know about this plate?
• Man: Uh, it works good when I eat stuff.
• Squidward: Right. This plate is actually not meant to be eaten on. Now with your permission, I'd like to perform a few tests to verify its authenticity.
• Man: Uh, okay.
• Squidward: [starts teething on plate. Sucks it up his nose and takes it out] Uh-huh. [rubs it on his bottom] Interesting. [skids around on plate] This is a promising sign. Yep. [hits plate on man's head several times] You hear that plate-hitting-skull sound? It's definitely authentic. And I would price it conservatively in today's market at $250.
• Man: Really?
• Squidward: No. [throws plate away and SpongeBob catches it; he breaths heavily]
• [Bubble transition]
• SpongeBob: [to the plate] You are the crown jewel of the time capsule!
• Squidward: Next. [throws sock]
• SpongeBob: [gasps. He catches the sock and drops the plate, breaking it] A four-striped sock! Incredible!
• French Narrator: 2 hours later...
• SpongeBob: Okay, Squidward. I think that's everyone.
• Patrick: [runs to the time capsule with a rock] SpongeBob! SpongeBob, did I make it? I brought my favorite rock to donate to the time thinger.
• SpongeBob: Ooh, are you sure you can part with it, Patrick?
• Patrick: Sometimes you've got to make sacrifices.
• SpongeBob: After you then!
• Patrick: Thank you, my good man.
• Squidward: Sorry, Patrick, but there's no way I'm letting you put your dumb rock in the time capsule. I've allowed some seriously ridiculous items today, but this is where I draw the line. Do you unders...? [Patrick is gone] What t-..
• Patrick: Okay, Rocky, you're going bye-bye now.
• Squidward: Oh, no, you don't! [Squidward and Patrick fight over the rock and the rock falls on a wooden floorboard and it catapults SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward into the time capsule, which closes]
• SpongeBob: You know, that didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would.
• Patrick: What didn't? Hey, look, a yo-yo! [plays with yo-yo]
• SpongeBob: Patrick, you're very good at that!
• [Bubble transition]
• Mr. Krabs: And thanks so much for all your contributions! So, are ya ready to put this thing in the ground?! [crowd cheers]
• Plankton: Ugh! Curse that Krabs and his cheering crowds! Big whoop, a stupid time capsule. [blows raspberry]
• Mr. Krabs: But, before we do, I'd like to make a contribution of my own. A copy of the Krabby Patty formula!
• Plankton: [eye becomes bottle-shaped and antennae snap] There it is! The one element that can turn this lonesome bucket of steel into a bustling world famous eatery! [laughs evilly]
• Mr. Krabs: [puts the formula in the time capsule] Send her down! [the time capsule gets buried]
• SpongeBob: [throws a card in a net] He shoots, he scores!
• Squidward: [shoves SpongeBob off] Get off me! [tries to get out]
• SpongeBob: Hey, Squidward, whatcha doing?
• Patrick: Yeah, it looks fun!
• Squidward: WE JUST GOT BURIED ALIVE, YOU IDIOTS!
• SpongeBob: I know, but what are you doing?
• [Bubble Transition]
• [everyone cheering]
• Mr. Krabs: Who's ready to eat some Krabby Patties, 'cause all that waiting in line's got you super hungry? [crowd cheers. Everyone enters the Krusty Krab as Plankton laughs evilly]
• [scene cuts to time capsule]
• SpongeBob: Hmm. What should we do for the next 50 years?
• Patrick: I'm just gonna hang here for a while, maybe get a kelp soda later.
• SpongeBob: Patrick, you can't go anywhere. We're trapped down here till they open that capsule in 50 years.
• Patrick: [shocked] 50 years? What are we gonna do till then?
• SpongeBob: I don't know. We've got 50 years' worth of stuff to play with here! [finds a game. He gasps] It's our favorite game!
• Both: Pretzel Pals!
• Patrick: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! [lays the game out on Squidward]
• SpongeBob: Yes, yes, now where did we leave off?
• Patrick: I believe my left hand was on red.
• SpongeBob: My right foot was on blue.
• Patrick: Forehead on yellow.
• SpongeBob: Left foot on green. [kicks Squidward in the face. He throws the game off him and on SpongeBob and Patrick
• Squidward: That's it, this game is over! [SpongeBob and Patrick giggle]
• Patrick: Hey, SpongeBob, what do you think Bikini Bottom will be like in the future?
• SpongeBob: Hmmm. [SpongeBob imagines his future in a chrome area. He gets out of the time capsule]
• Future Fish: Welcome to the future, history person. During your absence, our society has achieved numerous advances. We're sure you'll find to be quite impressive. [he and SpongeBob get teleported to a water fountain] Well?
• SpongeBob: [gasps] Wow, special drinking fountains for short people! What will the future think of next? [SpongeBob's future ends]
• Patrick: Not bad, SpongeBob. Not bad. I dream of a town with the perfect blend of commerce and irrigation. [imagines his future in a real city] Not to mention the breathtaking views. [Patrick's future ends]
• SpongeBob: Sounds dreamy, Pat. What do you think the future will be like, Squidward?
• [Squidward imagines his future]
• Future Octopus: [holding up Squidward's painting of him] His artwork embodies the soul that our society has lost. And it is here, [the Krusty Krab is shown] the location of the suffering that inspired that art that we place the Squidward Tentacles Memorial Museum! [Squidward's house is dropped on top of the Krusty Krab replacing it with the museum; the other octopi cheer]
• [scene transitions to the present with Squidward smiling and giggling]
• SpongeBob: Squidward? Squidward? Squidward? Squidward?
• Plankton: [uses his mining drill and burrows towards the time capsule] Jackpot! And now to extract the secret recipe. [the mining drill extends its arms, holding and wedge and hammer] Careful. Careful. [the hammer hits the wedge and Squidward gets knocked out]
• SpongeBob & Patrick: Sixteen Bikini Bottom, nineteen Bikini Bottom, twenty! Ready or not, here we... [they both spot Squidward]
• Patrick: Nice try, Squidward, but we both already got that hiding spot figured out. [finds a can of shaving gel] Whipped cream! [eats cream and spits it out] Oh, this whipped cream tastes awful! [reads off can] "Sha-veeng g-el."[a drill drills through and creates a hole in the can causing the shaving gel to land on Patrick's face] I've always wanted a beard!
• SpongeBob: Me too! [both laugh as SpongeBob sprays shaving gel on his face] Do you want one too, Squidbeard? [sprays a beard on Squidward's face]
• Squidward: [wakes up and moans] Wha...? Oh! Has it been 50 years already? [looks in the mirror and notices the beard] Yes! I knew I'd still be hot!
• Plankton: [sneaks inside] Secret recipe, where are you? Aha! [jumps through the hole]
• Squidward: Hello, future! [escapes through the hole Plankton made and digs up to the surface. He laughs] Yes! Huh? What the...?! Where's my museum? The future is the same as my old pathetic life! Forget this! I'm waiting another 50 years! [SpongeBob and Patrick watch as he stomps away]
• Plankton: Finally, the Krabby Patty secret recipe! [laughs evilly]
• Squidward: [stomps on Plankton, causing him to swallow the bottle] Dig me out when my life doesn't stink.
• [Bubble transition to the Chum Bucket; Plankton is sitting on the toilet grunting]
• Karen: Don't hurt yourself, Poopsy.
• Plankton: Quiet, Karen. Just bring me more prunes.
