This article is a transcript of the Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years episode "Tag, You're It" from season 1, which aired on March 4, 2021.
- [The episode begins with SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy doing exercises. Patrick tries to touch his toes, and they extend out. They don't reach his hands, and he falls forward and tries to touch them from behind. SpongeBob stretches his foot over his head, and it bounces back and hits him in the face. Sandy stretches her leg on a footstool, filling her helmet with sweat. She stretches too far and the table flies away. She flushes the sweat out of her helmet.]
- SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy: [sighing]
- SpongeBob: Well, now that we're done stretching, are we all ready for an epic, monumental, outdoor game of... tag?
- Patrick and Sandy: Tag!
- Squidward: [looking out of his cabin] Playing tag? Just the three of you? [SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy squeal]
- Sandy: That's right.
- Patrick: Just the three of us.
- Squidward: All right, all right. Go. [waves his tentacle] Get outta my hair. Hmph. [rubs a single hair down]
- [Sandy, SpongeBob, and Patrick all jump out the cabin door, but then it starts raining and they go inside. The three start to cry.]
- Squidward: I thought I told you to play outside!
- SpongeBob: We can't play tag outside. It's raining.
- Squidward: Well, then play inside. Quietly. Veeerry quietly.
- SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy: Veeerry quietly.
- Squidward: [whispering] Quietly.
- [Squidward slowly goes back into his room]
- SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy: [sit down] Hmm... [squeals]
- Patrick: [tags Sandy] You're it.
- Sandy: [laughs and tags SpongeBob] And now you're it.
- SpongeBob: Hmm... [tries to tag Sandy, but misses] Oh! [tries to tag Patrick, who ducks out of the way]
- Patrick: [panicked babbling]
- SpongeBob: Yowww! [sticks his fist out at Sandy and tries to tag her, but she jumps onto the bed]
- [Squidward is painting an infinite loop of himself painting]
- Squidward: La da de, la da dum, la da d-. Hm? [the bed crushes him, distorting his painting]
- Sandy: [off-screen] Tag, you're it!
- Squidward: [frustrated groan, leaves his room] What on Earth is-- what the...
- [SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy are having a tea party.]
- Sandy: More tea?
- Patrick: Yes, please.
- SpongeBob: And may I have a crumpet? [laughs]
- [Squidward then goes back into his room while SpongeBob is still playing.]
- Squidward: Hmm... Crumpets, huh?
- SpongeBob: Very clever. Very clever.
- [After Squidward leaves, SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy laugh. Squidward hears them outside.]
- Squidward: Hmph. I'm not falling for it.
- [SpongeBob corners Patrick and stretches his hand out.]
- Patrick: Don't tag me! No!
- Sandy: Tag him! Tag him!
- [Patrick crawls away from SpongeBob's finger and climbs onto the roof.]
- Patrick: No. no! Don't tag me! Please! I'm too young! No, no, no, no, no, no!
- Sandy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
- SpongeBob: [touches Patrick's forehead] Tag!
- Patrick: No! [starts crying]
- Squidward: [kicks the door in] All right, that's it!
- SpongeBob and Sandy: Uh oh...
- Squidward: What? What's wrong? [looks up] Huh?
- Patrick: Hello! [falls on top of Squidward] You got something on your head. [pulls his hair out]
- Squidward: Ow! [Squidward kicks SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy out] And stay out!
- SpongeBob: Oh, but it's muddy out here!
- Sandy: And it's c-cold!
- Patrick: And the sky's crying!
- Squidward: Here you go. [throws them an umbrella]
- [They huddle under the umbrella.]
- Patrick: [tags Sandy] You're it.
- Sandy: [tags SpongeBob] You're it!
- SpongeBob: [tags Patrick] You're it!
- Sandy, SpongeBob, and Patrick, one after the other: You're it!
- [They walk past the Frigate cabin. Larry opens the door.]
- Larry: Yo, Dinghies!You're gonna catch cold out there. Come inside.
- [The umbrella blows away.]
- Sandy: [whispering to SpongeBob and Patrick] Be careful in here. These jocks tend to play rough.
- [The three enter the cabin. Larry is holding towels.]
- Larry: Here, dry off, you drips.
- [Larry throws the towels at their faces. They stumble around and sit on a weight bench.]
- Larry: [reading from book] Alright, Frigates, where were we?
- SpongeBob: [raises hand] Hey, Larry, what's going on in here?
- Larry: Well, I'm trying to teach these lunkheads that [flexes] the brain in the most important muscle in the body.
- Sandy: [whispering] The brain ain't a muscle. It's an organ.
- [Patrick's head is shown to contain a naked Patrick playing an organ.]
- Larry: Today we're exercising our intellects. In the classic poem, "Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick," what did Jack jump over?
- Craig: Uh, his mommy?
- Mo: An offshore oil rig?
- Tall Tail: Uh, me?
- [Larry facepalms.]
- SpongeBob: [laughs and tags Sandy] You're it.
- Sandy: [tags Patrick with her tail] You're it!
- Patrick: [touches SpongeBob's head] You're it!
- SpongeBob: [tags Mo on the shoulder] Yah, you're it!
- Larry: [closes book in frustration] What are you doing?
- SpongeBob: Playing tag.
- Mo: Jock be nimble! [hits Craig with the book] Tag, you're it!
- Craig: [hits the wall and a shelf falls on him, laughs] Jock be quick! [hits Larry with the shelf] You're it! Tag!
- Larry: [crashes into a bike near the wall] Oh, it's on, bros. Tag!
- [Craig punches Tall Tail's legs repeatedly. Tall Tail kicks him into the wall. Mo bashes Larry over the head with a chair. Mo rides after Larry on the bike. The Dinghies crawl and escape. Larry tags SpongeBob before he can leave.]
- Larry: You're it! [exhausted] And Dinghies, do me a favor and don't come back. Your games are too rough.
- Tall Tail: Tag!
- [Larry gets dragged back into his cabin and screams. Loud crashing is heard. A bubble transition leads to the Dinghies giggling outside the Yacht cabin.]
- SpongeBob: [singing] ♪ We're gonna play tag, we're not gonna quit! ♪
- [Regigilled brings Lady Upturn a platter. When he lifts it, SpongeBob is inside, and he tags Upturn's nose. Sandy and Patrick giggle.]
- SpongeBob: [singing] ♪ I don't wanna brag, but tag, you're it! ♪
- [Sandy and Patrick run away. Upturn opens the door and places SpongeBob outside, then hits him away with a golf club.]
- SpongeBob: [singing] ♪ You better run now, go lickety split! ♪
- [Cut to a board game called Tag! inside the Pontoon cabin. The Dinghies are playing with Bubble Bass. He blows on the dice and rolls.]
- SpongeBob: [singing] ♪ I don't wanna brag, but tag, you're it! Taaag, you're it! Taaag, you're it. A-B-C-D, everybody's tagging me! Uno-dos-tres-quatro, did I tag you? I thought so! [laughing]
- [Bubble Bass moves his pieces. Patrick looks serious and rolls, then moves the pieces around the board and into his mouth and eats them.]
- SpongeBob: [singing] We're gonna play tag, we're not gonna quit. I don't wanna brag, but tag, you're it!
- [Bubble Bass presses a button that brings a cardboard cutout out from the floor. It slaps Patrick and makes him fall on the board. The Dinghies run out of the Pontoon cabin.]
- SpongeBob: [singing] Taaag, you're it! Taaag, you're it! Taaag, you're it!
- [The Dinghies dry off inside Mrs. Puff's lighthouse. Sandy whips Patrick with a towel. Patrick whips SpongeBob, who whips Mrs. Puff. Mrs. Puff gasps and inflates.]
- SpongeBob: [singing] Taaag, you're it! Gotcha! Taaag, you're it! [giggles] Tag!
- [Bubble transition to the Dinghies playing outside Krabs' office.]
- Mr. Krabs: [exits] Hmm. Huh? Aw. [shouts] Dinghy cabin, front and center! [points at the ground] Line up!
- SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy: [lay sideways] Is this right? Oh, I think-? [do handstands] Or this, or maybe this? Or this? [they get on top of each other]
- Mr. Krabs: [sighs] Instead of playing out in the rain and catching pneumonia, why don't you come inside and play with Pearl and catch something more exotic, like chicken pox, or mumps? [the campers groan] I'm kiddin'. She's had her shots.
- [Bubble transition to the Dinghies inside the cabin with Pearl, who is in her playpen.]
- Mr. Krabs: Just keep her amused with your shenanigans until I finish me work upstairs, [points] and be quiet. [yawns and falls asleep] Heh, money money money money money...
- SpongeBob: Now where were we?
- Patrick: [reads from toilet paper roll] Derived from the old English "hit," I believe, [throws it away and tags him] tag, you're it!
- Pearl: [cooing]
- Sandy: Aw, look. Baby Pearl wants to play tag with us. Ain't that adorable?
- SpongeBob: [takes her out of the playpen and tags her] Tag, you're it, you little cutie.
- Patrick: [scoffs] Babies can't play tag! [takes his brain out of his mouth] They don't have their brains yet.
- Patrick's brain: [burps]
- Pearl: [angry gibberish, slaps the Dinghies]
- Sandy, SpongeBob, and Patrick: Wow.
- SpongeBob: [impressed] A triple tag? That's never been done before!
- Sandy: Wow, Pearl just made history.
- Patrick: [to his brain] Thanks for nothing! Stupid brains.
- Sandy: Well, little lady, it looks like instead of having one "it" person to deal with, now you've got three!
- SpongeBob, Sandy, Patrick: Ready?
- Pearl: Uh-oh.
- [Pearl rushes into SpongeBob and he spins into Patrick and Sandy. They are left dizzy as a reprise of "Tag, You're It" plays. Pearl jumps off a rope and does acrobatics onto the desk. She spins off the ceiling fan, bounces into her playpen, grabs a bottle, and skids on the floor. The Dinghies brace themselves. Pearl drinks the milk and sprays it out of her blowhole at them. Pearl opens a trash can and runs to throw dirty diapers on the floor behind her. The Dinghies run around and spin in Pearl's mobile. Pearl runs up the stairs and they chase her. When they go upstairs, Krabs is sleeping, but Pearl is nowhere to be seen.]
- SpongeBob: [quietly] Yoo-hoo? Baby Pearl?
- Sandy: [quietly] Sweetie pie?
- Patrick: [yelling] Where are-
- [Pearl sits on Mr. Krabs, waves, cooes.]
- SpongeBob: [quietly] Okay, it doesn't count unless all three of us tag her at the same time. On the count of three: one, two, three!
- [They all jump on Krabs and Pearl at once, getting tangled in the hammock.]
- Mr. Krabs: What the-
- Pearl: [laughs, but gets scared by thunder] Aah!
- [Cut to the Dinghy cabin. Squidward prepares to go to bed and kicks off his slippers.]
- Squidward: Ah, peace and quiet [yawns and gets to bed].
- [Krabs opens the door and lightning flashes.]
- Mr. Krabs: Counselor Squidward! [holds out SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy] Hmmm.
- Squidward: Yes, sir!
- Mr. Krabs: I order to to play tag with your campers, [yells] and keep them out of me shell! [calmly] Well, go ahead. [laughs]
- SpongeBob: [laughs and tags Squidward's nose] Tag Mr. Tentacles, you're it!
- Squidward: [touched] I'm... it? Well, I-I must confess I've always wanted to play tag with you three, but you never asked me. Boy, this is the greatest-
- [It is suddenly sunny as Patrick gestures outside.]
- Patrick: Hey, guys, it stopped raining! Let's go swimming!
- SpongeBob and Sandy: Yeah!
- Mr. Krabs: Heh, looks like you're it forever.
- Squidward: [tags Krabs] Tag! [runs away as Krabs gasps] You're it! Forever! [laughs and runs outside]
- Mr. Krabs: Come back here, counselor! [chases him] I'm gonna tag you so hard, your suctions cup are gonna spin!
- SpongeBob: [tags the iris out] Tag! You're it! [laughs]
