( all laughing )
YOU STILL CAUGHT IT, DUDE.
( footsteps squeaking )
MAY I HELP YOU?

( giggling )
( bored ): TEE-HEE.

RIPPLE?
( giggling )

( laughing )
( footsteps sproinging )
IS THAT A BURGER YOU'RE EATING?
WHY, YES, IT IS.
YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD GO GOOD WITH THAT?
NO, WHAT?
RIPPED... PANTS.
( rip )
( yelling )
RIPPED PANTS A LA MODE.
( rip )
SpongeBob: DELIVERY!
DID YOU ORDER 20 CASES OF RIPPED PANTS?
( laughing )
( groans disgustedly )
Announcer: SURF'S UP IN THE GOO LAGOON.
AND HERE COMES LARRY, DOING HIS TRADEMARK LAY-BACK.

( rip )
RIPPING HIS PANTS AGAIN.
( rumbling )
HEY, LOOK!
A CARDBOARD BOX WASHED UP ON THE BEACH.

WHY?!
( sobbing ): WHY?!
( shrieking ): WHY?!
SPONGEBOB!
COME CLOSER.
I NEED...
( gasping )
WHAT DO YOU NEED?
A TAILOR.
BECAUSE I RIPPED MY PANTS.
( laughing )
( all grumbling )
Spectator: THAT KIND OF STUFF IS UNCALLED FOR.
WHAT IS THAT?
THAT WASN'T FUNNY, SPONGEBOB.
Y'ALL HAD ME WORRIED SICK.
DUDE.
( rip )
SpongeBob: SPONGEBOB, YOU'RE LOSING THEM!
THINK! YOUR PUBLIC'S WAITING.
LET'S SEE...
"LIFTING WEIGHTS-- BIG LAUGH.
"FRISBEE IN FACE-- KILLS.
"SURFING-- KNOCKS 'EM DEAD.
"PRETENDING TO DROWN...
NO."
COME ON, THINK!
I GOT IT!
HEY, EVERYBODY.
NOT RIPPED PANTS...
PANTS RIPPED OFF.
HUH?
SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE.
THERE'S A PANTS THIEF ON THE LOOSE.
( wind howling )
( voices in distance )
( party music playing )
OH, NO!
EVERYBODY'S GONE, EVEN SANDY.
SHE'D RATHER HANG OUT WITH LARRY.
OH, NO.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
WE BLEW IT, PANTS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "WE"?
OH, I DIDN'T HAVE TO BE A FOOL TO GET SANDY'S ATTENTION.
AM I THE BIGGEST LOSER ON THE BEACH?
NO, I AM.
I FORGOT TO PUT ON SUNSCREEN.
( electronic buzzing )
OUCH.
NO, I AM.
I GOT SAND IN MY BUNS.
( thunderous rumbling )
NO, I'M THE BIGGEST LOSER ON THE BEACH.
THEY BURIED ME IN THE SAND AND FORGOT ME.
All: WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
I LOST MY BEST FRIEND.
HOW?
* WHEN I RIPPED...
( rip )
* MY PANTS...
* I THOUGHT THAT I HAD EVERYBODY ON MY SIDE *
* BUT I WENT AND BLEW IT ALL SKY-HIGH *
* AND NOW SHE WON'T EVEN SPARE A PASSING GLANCE *
* ALL JUST BECAUSE I...
( rip )
* RIPPED MY PANTS.
* WHEN BIG LARRY CAME ROUND
* JUST TO PUT HIM DOWN
* SPONGEBOB TURNED INTO A CLOWN *
* AND NO GIRL EVER WANTS TO DANCE *
* WITH A FOOL WHO WENT AND...
( rip )
* RIPPED HIS PANTS.
* I KNOW I SHOULDN'T MOPE AROUND *
* I SHOULDN'T CURSE
* BUT THE PAIN FEELS SO MUCH WORSE *
* 'CAUSE WINDIN' UP WITH NO ONE IS A LOT LESS FUN *
* THAN A BURN FROM THE SUN
* OR SAND IN YOUR BUNS.
( scratching )
( thump )
( clicking )
* NOW I LEARNED A LESSON I WON'T SOON FORGET *
* SO LISTEN AND YOU WON'T REGRET *
* BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
* DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE
* AND YOU WON'T END UP
* LIKE THE FOOL WHO RIPPED HIS PANTS. *
( loud rip )
( audience cheering )
Sandy: SPONGEBOB!
SANDY!
YOUR SONG IS TRUE.
IF Y'ALL WANT TO BE MY FRIEND
JUST BE YOURSELF.
SPONGEBOB, THAT WAS SO RIGHTEOUS.
WOULD YOU SIGN MY PANTS?
ABSOLUTELY, BUDDY.
( rips )
