This article is a transcript of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Rock-a-Bye Bivalve" from season 3, which aired on March 29, 2002.

• SpongeBob: [runs outside to retrieve the newspaper] Gary, the paper's here! [Gary comes out on a motorized skateboard. SpongeBob gives him the paper but keeps the rubber band.] You can have this, buddy. 'Cause all I need is the entertainment section! [shakes the rubber band around for emphasis. Hums while he stretches the rubber band around the middle of his body and snaps it together, turning him into a bowtie-like shape] I am a happy sponge! [runs around, laughing, while Gary is reading the paper]
• Gary: [looking slightly annoyed by SpongeBob by rolling his eyes] Meow! [SpongeBob runs into Patrick, who also has a rubber band stretched around him]
• Patrick: I see you got the paper. [his rubber band snaps off]
• SpongeBob: Oh, hey, Patrick. [then his rubber band snaps off as well. Patrick clears his throat] Well, I'd better get going.
• Patrick: Yep, see you later. [both walk off but then hear a chirping sound and they both quickly run back, with their hands over their ears]
• SpongeBob and Patrick: What did you say?
• Patrick: Well, I didn't say anything.
• SpongeBob: I didn't say anything, either.
• SpongeBob and Patrick: See you later then. [both walk off again and the squeaking noise is heard again, so they both run back. This time, they are angry]
• SpongeBob: [Pointing at Patrick] Alright, quit messing with me! I know you said something.
• Patrick: Ah, but it is you [points] that is messing with me. [both look down to see the squeaking noise is coming from a shaking branch. Patrick points downward.] That's what's messing with us!
• SpongeBob: It's a baby scallop.
• Patrick: [lifts up his foot with a threatening look on his face, looking as though he is about to smash the scallop] I'll take care of this!
• SpongeBob: No, Patrick! It's totally helpless. [takes the baby scallop in his hands] It looks like he can't even fly yet.
• Patrick: What's the matter, is he stupid?
• SpongeBob: No, Patrick, he's just a baby. [close-up of the chirping scallop in SpongeBob's hands] He's all alone with no one to take care of him.
• Patrick: Well, we can't just leave him out here.
• SpongeBob: You're right. Come on, let's take him into the pineapple. [both run in and set the baby scallop on the ground] Hmmm, let's see, we need a box for him to sleep in. [SpongeBob removes his pants and sets it in front of the scallop] There you go. It's the best seat [points to his rear] in the house. [scene cuts to Gary, who does a rimshot]
• Patrick: Let me see! [Patrick sticks his whole head inside SpongeBob's pants] Hey, he's kinda cute. Uh-oh! [takes his head out, which is now eaten on the side] I think somebody's hungry!
• SpongeBob: [takes out Junior and speaks in baby-talk to it] Is it true? Are you hungry?
• Junior: [chirping happily] Cheep-cheep-cheep-cheep!
• SpongeBob: I've got just the thing. [puts Junior on a barrel and takes out a Krabby Patty] How would you like a Krabby Patty? [Junior yelps]
• Patrick: SpongeBob SquarePants, are you crazy? That's not the right food for a little fella like him!
• SpongeBob: Of course not. I don't know what I was thinking. What he needs is a tiny Krabby Patty. [shows Junior a minuscule Krabby Patty]
• Junior: [sniffs the patty, then sticks his tongue out in disgust] Blech!
• SpongeBob: Huh? No one's ever turned down one of these before. [gobbles it and gulps it down]
• Patrick: [holds up a doughnut] Let's try a doughnut. [Junior hisses]
• SpongeBob: [holds up a tray of French fries] French fries?
• Junior: [shaking his head] Unh-unh.
• Patrick: [eating the doughnut] A doughnut? [Junior blows a raspberry]
• SpongeBob: [holds up an apple] All we have left is this apple. [a worm pokes its head out of the apple]
• Worm: Hello, sea creatures! I bring you greetings from Apple World! [Junior chirps in excitement]
• SpongeBob: Of course! Scallops love worms. [picks up the worm]
• Worm: Huh, wait! We will bury you! [SpongeBob drops it in Junior's mouth]
• SpongeBob: Well, you should be good for the rest of the... [Junior cries]
• Patrick: What now?
• SpongeBob: I don't know! Aww, don't cry. [Junior is still crying]
• Patrick: Do something, SpongeBob!
• SpongeBob: Uhh...uhh...uhh... Blah-blah-blah! Look at the funny face! Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo! Look at the funny face! [shows SpongeBob has a puppet that looks like him on his hand] Look at the funny face!
• Patrick: Wait! I think I might know the problem. [picks up Junior and looks at him] Yep, that's it, alright. [hides it behind his back] Hold on just one second. There he is, good as new. [Junior has a diaper on]
• SpongeBob: How did you know?
• Patrick: How do you think? [drops his pants showing that he is wearing a diaper] And I've been doing it all by myself for almost a year.
• SpongeBob: Wow, I'm sure glad you're here.
• Patrick: I know, good thing there's two of us.
• SpongeBob: You know, Patrick, since this scallop doesn't have parents, we should raise it ourselves.
• Patrick: Yeah. At least until it's old enough to be on its own. Oh, I wanna be the mom!
• SpongeBob: I don't think you can be the mom, Patrick, because you never wear a shirt.
• Patrick: You're right. If I was a mom..., [the camera draws back to reveal Patrick's hairy, obese, unsightly form]...this would be kind of shocking. [lifts his arms, revealing armpit hair] Just call me Daddy!
• Montage:
• Patrick: [softly, from inside the house] It sure is cute when it's asleep.
• SpongeBob: [softly, from inside the house] Yeah. [SpongeBob and Patrick watch Junior sleeping] Shh! [both tiptoe out of the room]
• Patrick: Hey, SpongeBob? [goes to what appears to be the right side of the bed]
• SpongeBob: [goes to what appears to be the left side] Yes, Patrick?
• Patrick: I never thought being a parent could be this much fun.
• SpongeBob: Me neither.
• [scene zooms out, revealing that Patrick is sleeping on the bottom mattress and SpongeBob is sleeping on the top]
• Patrick: Well, good night, SpongeBob.
• SpongeBob: Good night, Patrick. [SpongeBob's mattress slams shut on top of Patrick. Scene cuts to morning] Patrick, breakfast is ready. [SpongeBob is cooking something over at the grill as Patrick walks in, noticing the bunch of food that is on the table]
• Patrick: Alright! All this parenting stuff makes me hungry. [lifts the table up as all the food slides down into mouth. He burps, then pats Junior] Hey, Junior, how are you doing today? [smells an odor from Junior] SpongeBob? [adjusts his tie]
• SpongeBob: Yes, Patrick?
• Patrick: Kid's got a stinky.
• SpongeBob: [doing many chores at the same time] Can you take care of him? My hands are kind of full. [Patrick guzzles down the coffee as Junior begins to cry]
• Patrick: [drinking coffee] Ahh. Wish I could, but I gotta get going.
• SpongeBob: Going? Where are you going?
• Patrick: [puts on a suit and takes his briefcase] I'm goin' to work. I'm the dad, remember?
• SpongeBob: You mean I have to do all this baby stuff myself?
• Patrick: I'll give you a break tonight when I get home. Don't you two stop being adorable. [chuckles as he closes the door]
• SpongeBob: Okay. [chuckles weakly. Day turns into night, and Patrick walks in and takes his jacket and hat off]
• Patrick: Phew! What a day.
• SpongeBob: Oh, great, you're home. Now you can help me with the baby.
• Patrick: Aw, gee, SpongeBob, I'd love to, but I'm totally beat from work.
• SpongeBob: Huh? [Patrick sits down and watches TV. A coconut "clonk" sound effect is heard.]
• Patrick: [laughs] That guy got hit in the head with a coconut!
• SpongeBob: [walks in still doing the chores] Patrick, what about my break?
• Patrick: Oh yeah, your break. Uh, tomorrow, I promise.
• SpongeBob: Uhh, okay, tomorrow.
• Narrator: Tomorrow... [scene cuts to Patrick walking in at night and taking his stuff off]
• Patrick: Phew! Another tough day. [walks by SpongeBob, who is still doing the same chores from yesterday]
• SpongeBob: Oh, Patrick, I'm so glad you're home after working all day. I can't wait for my break.
• Patrick: Work was a killer. I need my chair. [sits down and watches TV again]
• SpongeBob: [walks in still doing chores] Patrick, I really need my...
• Patrick: Tomorrow for sure.
• Narrator: Tomorrow for sure... [scene cuts to a tired SpongeBob doing the same chores as Patrick walks by]
• SpongeBob: Patrick?
• Patrick: I'll get to it eventually...
• Narrator: Eventually... [scene cuts to SpongeBob still doing the chores but even more tired]
• SpongeBob: Uhhh?
• Patrick: Uhhh.
• Narrator: Uhhh... [scene cuts to Patrick watching TV as an angry SpongeBob walks in and turns on the lights]
• SpongeBob: Patrick Star, we need to talk.
• Patrick: Just one more minute, I gotta...
• SpongeBob: Don't 'one more minute' me, Mr. Man! [turns off the TV]
• Patrick: Hey, I'm missin' the coconut! [he gives SpongeBob an angry look]
• SpongeBob: You haven't been helping at all with Junior! [pulls in baby stroller] We made a commitment and you're not doing your share! You never do anything.
• Patrick: I changed his diaper!
• SpongeBob: Yeah, once.
• Patrick: He's only this big. [shows with his hands on how big Junior is] How many diapers could he possibly use?
• SpongeBob: [opens up a trash can full of diapers] Hmmm?
• Patrick: Oh, that's not so much.
• SpongeBob: [points over to the corner of the room where there are two bags and a trash can full of diapers] Hmmm?
• Patrick: [nervously] So?
• SpongeBob: [opens up the refrigerator, full of diapers] Hmmm? [pulls the cover off the couch, revealing it to be diapers] Hmmm? [tears the wallpaper off the wall, revealing a bunch of diapers behind it] Hmmm?! [points outside to a garbage truck loading a bunch of diapers into the dumpster. Patrick quivers at the sight of it]
• Patrick: [his eyes fill with tears] I have no idea! What kind of a father am I?! Oh! [sobs as he looks at SpongeBob as he smiles] I'll make it up to you, buddy. I promise. [scene cuts to next day]
• SpongeBob: So, what's the plan for the day?
• Patrick: No more foolin' around. From now on, I'm Super-Dad! I'll work straight through lunch so I can get home on time. So make sure you save a big ol' stinky diaper for me to change, and you can take the night off, pal.
• SpongeBob: [gives Patrick his briefcase as he departs] Great, so I'll see you at six o'clock.
• Patrick: Six o'clock.
• SpongeBob: Six o'clock.
• Patrick: Six o'clock.
• SpongeBob: [waving] Six o'clock.
• Patrick: [waving] Six o'clock.
• SpongeBob: Six o'clock.
• Patrick: Six o'clock. [cuts to a time card]
• Narrator: 12:00 midnight.
• [Patrick walks in with a lampshade over his head, giggling and turns on the light]
• Patrick: Oh, that was some party! [SpongeBob is wearing his mother-like clothing and he gives Patrick a bitter look] Oh, hey, SpongeBob. Hey, Junior. [SpongeBob now looks at Patrick angrily as he taps his foot] What? What?!
• SpongeBob: Oh, nothing.
• Patrick: Oh, what a relief. [takes the lampshade off his head and puts it on SpongeBob] For a second there, I thought you were mad at me.
• SpongeBob: [takes the lampshade off his head] Do you remember what you said to me this morning?
• Patrick: Somethin' about root beer, right?
• SpongeBob: [takes a deep breath, flatly] No.
• Patrick: Oh, wait, wait, let me guess. I give up.
• SpongeBob: Does... [imitates Patrick in a mocking tone with a goofy look on his face] "You can take the night off, pal!" [normal voice] ...ring a bell?
• Patrick: [raspberry] I don't need this. [walks outside]
• SpongeBob: What?! [walks to the door] Where do you think you're going?
• Patrick: [opens his rock] I'm going back to work! [gets in and closes his rock]
• SpongeBob: Work?! [growls and rips off his hairpiece]
• [Cut to SpongeBob, not wearing his mother-like clothing anymore, walking outside to Patrick's rock. He opens it up, and finds Patrick in his easy chair, watching TV]
• Patrick: [two "clonk" sounds are heard on the TV; laughs] He got hit in the head with two coconuts!
• SpongeBob: [angrily] So, this is work?
• Patrick: You know, it's not as easy as it looks. Sometimes, I gotta move the antenna, sometimes, I lose the remote, [looks at his rear] and sometimes, my butt itches real bad!
• SpongeBob: [sarcastically] Oh, you poor, poor thing. By the way, you forgot your briefcase! [he pulls a briefcase out from behind his back, and opens it up to reveal that it is filled with donuts and ice cream sundaes as he angrily dumps it all over Patrick]
• Patrick: [quietly but furiously] Oh, so this is the thanks I get for working overtime?
• [SpongeBob is enraged. He balls his fists and fumes so hard, his entire body shakes. Then he loses his temper and goes ballistic on Patrick, and his face morphs into a stereotypical Asian face with lots of teeth.]
• SpongeBob: [Screaming intensely] OVERTIME?!
• [SpongeBob jumps into Patrick's rock, and they both begin to argue intensely.]
• Patrick: Yeah, overtime, pal!
• SpongeBob: [overlapping Patrick] Oh, boy, yeah, you're working!
• Patrick: You know what that means?
• SpongeBob: And that's the kind of work you're doing?
• Patrick: ​It means working when you're just too tired to work!
• SpongeBob: Show me where I can sign up for this, because I've been working my fingers to the bone!
• [Junior is heard beginning to chirp]
• Patrick: You just keep going on working and working!
• SpongeBob: ​You never help! NEVER!
• [Junior's chirping intensifies, which makes the two finally stop arguing and listen to it]
• Patrick: [still mad] There's that stupid noise again!
• SpongeBob: Oh, that's not a stupid noise. That's just Junior about to jump out of that two-story window.
• [Patrick and SpongeBob see Junior teetering on the edge of the window of SpongeBob's house, ready to fly.]
• Patrick: [calmly] Oh.
• [All at once, Patrick and SpongeBob are struck with shock by what's really happening.]
• Both: [eyes bulge in horror, screaming] JUNIOR!
• [Junior jumps down the window. SpongeBob and Patrick quickly run to catch Junior but they slam on SpongeBob's house. SpongeBob then bounces out of Patrick's stomach]
• SpongeBob: [Frantic] Did you catch him?!
• Patrick: [looking sadly at his empty hands] No.
• Both: We're bad parents! [They break down sobbing. Then they stop when they notice that chirping Junior is flying above them.]
• SpongeBob: Junior? He's flying!
• Patrick: I guess he's all grown up. [Junior kisses SpongeBob then flies off] Hey, what about Daddy? [Junior drops a coconut on Patrick's head for his laziness then kisses him] That's my boy.
• SpongeBob: Goodbye!
• Patrick: [the coconut falls down] Goodbye, Junior!
• [they watch Junior fly away]
• SpongeBob: Well, Patrick, he doesn't need us anymore.
• Patrick: This is the hardest part of every parent's life, I assume.
• SpongeBob: Despite all we've been through, it was worth it.
• Patrick: Yeah... Let's have another.
• [SpongeBob looks shocked]
