This article is a transcript of the Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years episode "Cabin of Curiosities" from season 1, which aired on March 4, 2021.
- [The episode begins facing the lake.]
- SpongeBob: [off-screen] Ready, Patrick?
- Patrick: [off-screen] I'm ready, SpongeBob!
- [SpongeBob and Patrick are standing on a tree, then they start swinging from a vine making a Tarzan-like yell. They both crash into each other, laugh, and climb up the tree to do it again.]
- SpongeBob: Are you ready?
- Patrick: I'm ready!
- [They make Tarzan yells again and swing. Squidward exits the door to his cabin.]
- Squidward: What's all this yelling?!
- [SpongeBob and Patrick crash into Squidward, flattening him.]
- Squidward: Ouch...
- [Squidward's body collapses like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.]
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [nervously] Ooh. [they jump down]
- SpongeBob: Um, let's do the corners first. [they move the pieces] This piece then that piece.
- [They reassemble Squidward almost completely. SpongeBob notices a piece missing from his nose and puts it in.]
- Squidward: What in the name of Neptune are you two doing?!
- SpongeBob: [takes out handbook] Trying for our danger badge.
- Squidward: It says [flicks off gum obscuring the text] ranger badge, not danger badge.
- SpongeBob: [gasps, inhales the book back into his mouth]
- Patrick: Hey, Mr. Tentacles, do you have a ranger badge?
- Squidward: [sweating] Well, I tried for it once...
- [Zoom into Squidward's face. His eyes dart as sound effects play: helicopters whirring, explosions, a horse whinnying, a clown horn honking, and the Wilheim scream.]
- Squidward: [shivering] Never go for a ranger badge... Why don't you just try for something easy?
- [Squidward pokes SpongeBob's nose. SpongeBob opens his mouth with the book on his tongue as a cash register ding sound is heard. Squidward takes the book and flips through the pages.]
- Squidward: [hopeful] A playing dead badge?
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [with attitude] No.
- Squidward: A going home badge?
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [with attitude] Nooo...
- Squidward: [flipping pages and sweating] Um, um... Ah, here, the making friends badge. [points to page] All you need is four signatures.
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [pause, then excited] Will you be my friend?
- [Squidward is already gone, with just the book dropping to the ground.]
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [pointing at each other] Will you be my friend?
- SpongeBob: I don't know if that counts, Patrick. We're already friends.
- Patrick: [folds arms] Well, this friendship is interfering with my badge getting.
- SpongeBob: Hey, there are a lot of potential friends in camp!
- Patrick: [sulking] Okay. [threateningly] But if you get in my way again, [dramatic upshot of his face] I will destroy you!
- [Bubble transition to a shot of the Yacht cabin flag. Upturn is sipping tea on a lawn chair, while Rea and Roh have a suntanning mirror. When SpongeBob and Patrick approach, the Yacht residents look at them dismissively.]
- Lady Upturn: Deliveries are [indicates with her pinky] in the back.
- SpongeBob: Good to know. [pulls Patrick closer] Patrick and I are working on our friendship badges. [their faces light up] Would you like to be our friends?
- Lady Upturn: How much is it going to cost me?
- Rea: [throws money] I'll give you a thousand dollars.
- Roh: [throws money] Two thousand.
- Patrick: [raises finger] Do I hear three?
- Lady Upturn: [drops stacks of money on them] Three thousand dollars [drops jewels on them] and all my jewelry... that I'm wearing today.
- SpongeBob: [emerges from the pile with gems in his eyes] Please, everybody, stop! [gems fall out, grabs Patrick] Our friendship is free.
- [The Yacht residents recoil and exclaim in horror.]
- Rea: I think I'm going to be sick! [retches]
- [Roh desperately fans Rea.]
- Lady Upturn: [shooing them away] Please, just leave before we catch what you beggars are infested with.
- SpongeBob and Patrick: Eh, okay. [they walk away]
- Mr. Krabs: [jumps into money pile] Cannonball! [grabs gems] I'll be your friend!
- Lady Upturn: No. [she presses a button that explodes Krabs and the money, revealing his wireframe skeleton]
- Mr. Krabs: Huh? [screams and covers himself]
- [Bubble transition to Spongebob and Patrick walking to the Frigate cabin. Craig does sit-ups on a bar, Larry and Mo punch a bag, and Tall Tail lifts weights.]
- SpongeBob: Hi, Larry. Hi, jocks. Patrick and I are working on our friendship badge. Would you like to be our friends?
- Larry: [punching bags] No problemo. As soon as you two cream puffs do [points to bar] one chin up.
- [Craig is doing a pull-up with one finger, holding a weight in one hand, and lifting an exercise ball with his leg. He dismounts from the bar. SpongeBob and Patrick grab it]
- SpongeBob: No prob-lem-o.
- Patrick: Yeah, no problem-eno.
- [SpongeBob and Patrick strain to pull themselves up, but fail. They pant and try again.]
- French Narrator: [narrating time card] Nine hours later...
- [It is now night, and SpongeBob and Patrick sit on the ground, exhausted. Their arms are still hanging onto the bar.]
- Larry: The gym's closed, bros. Better luck next time!
- [SpongeBob and Patrick let go of the bar. They notice their lengthened arms and slap each other with them, laughing. Bubble transition to them walking through the forest.]
- SpongeBob: Gee whiz, nobody wants to be our friends.
- [They both scream as lightning comes from the kelp. They peer inside.]
- Patrick: [gasps]
- [A cabin with an eyeball design on the front is seen in the forest. Lightning flashes and a wolf howls. SpongeBob whimpers.]
- SpongeBob: That's the trawler cabin. [lightning flashes] They also call it [eyes shrink] the weirdo cabin.
- Patrick: That's got a nice ring to it.
- [Nervous, they walk to the front door and SpongeBob knocks. Nobody is inside the cabin, but it is decorated with creepy, antique decorations. They walk inside, looking around, and suddenly come across a small glowing and floating fish, which makes them scream.]
- Little Roxy: You are either very brave.
- Big Roxy: Or very foolish to venture into this dark domain.
- SpongeBob: [panicked] Foolish! We're very foolish! [Patrick jumps in SpongeBob's arms.]
- Big Roxy: So are we.
- Big Roxy and Little Roxy: [pointing at themselves] We are Roxy.
- [Patrick puts SpongeBob on the ground. They look up at Little Roxy.]
- Little Roxy: Say hello to my cabin-mate, Jimmy.
- [A shot of a blobfish is shown as lightning flashes.]
- Jimmy: [holds out hand] Shake.
- SpongeBob: [shivers, shakes hand] Ye-yes, we are. [Jimmy's hand slime gets stuck on SpongeBob's]
- Jimmy: Don't worry. It tastes like maple syrup.
- Patrick: [excited shout, licks SpongeBob's arm] Mmm, thanks.
- [SpongeBob and Patrick nervously back away. Patrick gets caught in a spider web and shouts.]
- Preda: [off-screen] Hello. [pan to her, she crawls from a hole in the ceiling] My name is Preda Tory. That is my web. I spun it this morning.
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [scream]
- [Preda pulls Patrick from the web.]
- Patrick: [kindly] Nice work. You do free alterations?
- [They whimper and back away as Preda approaches them.]
- SpongeBob: So, uh, whi... Which one of you is the ca-cabin counselor?
- Preda: [calling] Hey, Kid!
- [Kidferatu descends from a sleeping bag, hanging upside down. He rotates his body right side up and open his eyes, which glow red. He takes his sleeping bag off and snarls.]
- Patrick: [screams]
- Preda: Kidferatu!
- SpongeBob: [He screams, shrinks, and Patrick blows him back up, then grabs him in fear. SpongeBob looks at his watch.] Oh, look at that. It's past our dead time... I mean bedtime!
- [They back away, but a bunch of glowing badges in a frame on the wall catches their attention.]
- SpongeBob and Patrick: Huh? Ooh!
- SpongeBob: Hey, how'd you get those badges?!
- Big Roxy: By doing...
- Little Roxy: Night camp activities! [thunder cracks]
- SpongeBob: [pause, then excited] We want night badges!
- Preda: [grabs them] You're in luck! We can help you.
- [SpongeBob and Patrick laugh nervously. Bubble transition to SpongeBob, Patrick, and the Trawlers at the lake. Patrick has a fishing rod with a bunch of bananas as bait.]
- Jimmy: The first badge, is for swamp ape fishing.
- [Jimmy holds up the badge. It slips out of his hand, but he pulls it back with slime.]
- SpongeBob: [nervously] Wait, there's a swamp ape in this lake? [screaming and waving arms] The lake we all swim in?!
- Preda: Yeah, there are many horrible things in this lake besides campers.
- Patrick: Ooh, I got one! It's a big one!
- [Patrick gets pulled away by whatever caught the line.]
- SpongeBob: Patrick!
- [SpongeBob and Patrick are sent reeling across the lake, screaming. They are pulled under. A live-action swamp ape shows up and holds them.]
- Swamp ape: Hmm? [grunts]
- [The swamp ape puts SpongeBob and Patrick back on the shore, covered in banana peels.]
- Little Roxy: Congratulations! You just earned your swamp ape fishing badge.
- SpongeBob: Oh, I get it! Swamp, ape, fishing! [pours water from his head] He fishes us!
- [Kidferatu hands Patrick the badge. SpongeBob and Patrick laugh nervously.]
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [dancing and holding hands] Night badge! Night badge! Night badge!
- [Bubble transition to SpongeBob, Patrick, and the Trawlers standing in a field. Jimmy is holding a jar.]
- Jimmy: The next challenge is for [shows badge stuck to hand] nocturnal jelly milking. [gives SpongeBob a jar] Here you go. Just fill this jar with jelly jam [walks away] and the badge is yours.
- [Patrick sees a small jellyfish float up to him and grabs it.]
- Patrick: I caught one!
- SpongeBob: Oh boy! Oh, this ought to be easy-peasy. [Patrick holds the jellyfish above the jar as SpongeBob pulls its tentacles] Who's a cute little jelly? You are.
- Jimmy: Ahem. [SpongeBob and Patrick freeze] That one's too puny to fill the jar. [points up] Why don't you try this one?
- [SpongeBob looks up in horror at a giant roaring jellyfish. He and Patrick are blown away by its scream. They run away, screaming. The rest of the Trawlers approach Jimmy.]
- Big Roxy: So which do you think is more effective, horror or terror?
- Jimmy: I like revulsion.
- Preda: I've always been partial to dread.
- [The jellyfish returns and spits out SpongeBob and Patrick, then drops a full jar of jelly on them.]
- Preda: Well, look who's back. Or should I say "look who's blech?"
- [The jellyfish drops a badge on SpongeBob and Patrick, who hold it up and cheer.]
- SpongeBob and Patrick: Yay!
- [Bubble transition to SpongeBob, Patrick, and the Trawlers standing in a different part of camp.]
- Jimmy: Okay, this is your last task for the night.
- SpongeBob: Ooh, don't tell me. Some horrible monster is gonna catch us [horrified] or eat us?
- Jimmy: Oh, great idea. But I thought we'd play Sardine.
- SpongeBob: Sardines? Oh, you mean that game where one person is it and hides. [Patrick pulls out a flipbook of more people hiding behind a tree as others look for them.] Then when somebody finds them, that person has to hide with the person that just got found. And then everyone that's looking for that person has to hide with that person when they find the person and then the last person finds them all? [The last slide is a drawing of a naked, baby Patrick.] Oh, we got this.
- [Patrick looks at the drawing and screams, then throws it away.]
- Jimmy: Okay, Kidferatu will hide and we'll seek.
- [Kidferatu floats away. Bubble transition to SpongeBob and Patrick outside the outhouse. Patrick notices something and walks towards it.]
- Patrick: Uh-huh. Hey!
- [SpongeBob goes to the outhouse, flips around and searches it, then goes inside. He finds Kidferatu standing on the toilet seat.]
- SpongeBob: Aha!
- Kidferatu: [shushes SpongeBob] Shh!
- [SpongeBob stifles his laughter and hides with Kidferatu. Kidferatu snarls and prepares to attack SpongeBob, but Preda interrupts.]
- Preda: Found you.
- [SpongeBob stifles his giggles again and jumps down so Preda is behind him. Preda and Kidferatu lean towards him. Suddenly, Roxy comes in.]
- Big Roxy: Found you.
- [Roxy, Kidferatu, and Preda lean to attack SpongeBob. Jimmy opens the door.]
- Jimmy: Pardon me. Excuse me. Tight fit.
- [The Trawlers lean towards SpongeBob again. Outside, green light glows from the outhouse. Patrick opens it and they fall out in a heap. The Trawlers remove some plastic vampire teeth from SpongeBob's head. Fade to them standing back outside.]
- Big Roxy: And as the loser, you're the winner! [gives Patrick a badge] Here's your badge.
- [Kidferatu pins a badge to SpongeBob's shirt. Roxy, SpongeBob, and Patrick stare as the sun comes up.]
- SpongeBob: Ooh! Um...
- [The Trawlers stare at the sun. Their shadows, shown on a rock, disintegrate into nothing. Patrick turns behind him and sees nobody there, followed by SpongeBob.]
- SpongeBob: They're gone.
- Patrick: [applies chapstick] Without a kiss goodbye. [puckers lips]
- [SpongeBob and Patrick run to their cabin.]
- SpongeBob: Sandy!
- Patrick: Hey!
- SpongeBob: Mr. Tentacles!
- Patrick: Hey!
- SpongeBob: [bouncing around] Come quick! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
- Squidward: [exits, impatiently] What? What? What?
- [Sandy slides down the roof of the cabin and jumps off.]
- SpongeBob: Ooh! We wanna show you our night badges!
- Sandy: Oh!
- Squidward: Night badges? There's no such thing.
- [SpongeBob and Patrick close their eyes and proudly point to their badges. The badges have transformed into leaves. SpongeBob and Patrick look at them and gasp.]
- Sandy: [laughs] You two jokers had me going there for a minute.
- Squidward: Just where were you two all night?
- SpongeBob: With the kids from the trawler cabin. You know, the one the other campers called the [makes cuckoo motion] weirdo cabin?
- Sandy: I hate to break it to you, SpongeBob, but that's what the other campers call our cabin.
- Squidward: I wonder why.
- [SpongeBob and Patrick are laughing and slapping each other with their elongated arms.]
- [Bubble transition to SpongeBob and Patrick walking back to the Trawler cabin.]
- SpongeBob: I'm gonna find out what happened to our night badges.
- Patrick: Yeah.
- [They enter, and the cabin is completely empty.]
- SpongeBob: Um, hello? [shot of the empty cabin] Where is everybody? [a book is left on a table near the entrance] Look, Patrick, [the Trawlers have signed their names for the friendship badges] four signatures! [points to them] The Roxys, Jimmy, Preda, and Kidferatu. We got our friendship badge!
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [jumping together] Weirdos, weirdos, wei... [they are pulled outside] Whoa!
- [The swamp ape is in the lake, having reeled in SpongeBob and Patrick.]
- Swamp ape: Ooh.
- SpongeBob and Patrick: [smiling] Will you be our friend?!
