  • Mermaid Man: What do you want?
  • Barnacle Boy: This better be good.
  • SpongeBob: This'll cheer you up. We're almost done painting your invisible boatmobile. [The invisible boatmobile is shown almost completely covered in black paint and we also see Patrick smiling while holding a paintbrush with black paint on it.]
  • Barnacle Boy: Gah! It's supposed to be invisible! That's it! We gotta end our life of leisure. It's time to come out of retirement. There's evil afoot.
  • Mermaid Man: Evil! Where is it?
  • Barnacle Boy: There it is! [points at SpongeBob and Patrick] You know what this means? [opens up a box with shiny rings]
  • Mermaid Man: Donuts!
  • Barnacle Boy: Oh, brother.
  • [Barnacle Boy puts the ring on Mermaid Man and then they try to put both of the rings together, but they miss. Superhero sequence fails. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy wave their arms around up and down to synchronize their positioning of their arms. So then they attempt to unite both of the rings together a second time. Both rings are successfully put together but the superhero sequence fails again.]
  • Barnacle Boy: Say the oath.
  • Mermaid Man: [in his young voice] Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy, unite! [unite sequence succeeds while their rings are united together] Throw a waterball at 'em!
  • SpongeBob and Patrick: Waterballs! Waterballs! [Barnacle Boy throws a waterball at SpongeBob, but nothing happens]
  • Patrick: Hehehehehe.
  • Barnacle Boy: Mumbling morays. It's not working, Mermaid Man.
  • Mermaid Man: He-he's-he's absorbing it like some kind of evil sponge!
  • Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy: Dogpaddle away! [they swim around SpongeBob and Patrick]
  • Patrick: It's the Raging Whirlpool. [SpongeBob and Patrick cheer as the whirlpool consumes them]
  • Mermaid Man: Those fiends. They're actually enjoying it.
  • SpongeBob and Patrick: Do it again! Do it again! Do it again!
  • Barnacle Boy: Now what, Mermaid Man? We need help!
  • Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy: Sea creatures, unite! [they summon the sea creatures, but they are retired, so they come slowly]
  • Barnacle Boy: Hmm, the creatures of the deep seem to have lost some of their luster.
  • Mermaid Man: Sea creatures, attack!
  • SpongeBob: Pinch me, I must be dreaming. [sea creatures, now carrying torches and pitchforks, pick up SpongeBob and Patrick] Mission accomplished, Patrick.
  • Patrick: Yeah, we did it. [sea creatures throw them out]
  • Mermaid Man: I did it. I feel five years younger. Oh, it's good to be back!
  • Barnacle Boy: We did it, you ol' coot. [they shake hands]
  • Mermaid Man: Who are you? [Barnacle Boy becomes annoyed]
  • TV Announcer: The New Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy! We join our heroes locked in a battle of wits. [Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy play checkers.]
  • [Mermaid Man places a black checker on the board. A "Pow!" pow-bubble appears. Barnacle Boy replies by placing a red checker on the board. "Clack!" appears. Mermaid Man sweats, then places a black checker to the end of the board. A "King Me!" appears. Suddenly the phone rings.]
  • Mermaid Man: It's the Aquaphone! [he holds the phone upside down] What is it, Chief? Uhh, hello? Hello? Hello? [Hangs up phone. "HANG UP!" appears] The phone is still broken. Remind me to g-get that fixed. ["SIT!" appears]
  • Barnacle Boy: Remind you of what?
  • Mermaid Man: Remind me of what?
  • TV Announcer: Will our heroes ever get their phone fixed? Tune in next week and find out.
  • SpongeBob: Wow. That was even better than the old show.
  • Patrick: All thanks to you. [SpongeBob winks; "WINK!" appears].
