Announcer: Ahh, the Krusty Krab. Through these doors pass all the many kinds of undersea life.<br>

Mermaid Man: Through the double doors! Away!<br>

Announcer: And also these guys.<br>

Barnacle Boy: I told you I'm not hungry, Mermaid Man!<br>

Mermaid Man: N-nonsense, Barnacle Boy, we've got to keep up our strength for the fight against evil!<br>

Barnacle Boy: What a dive.<br>

Mermaid Man: To the register! Away! <br>

Squidward: Can I help you?<br>

Mermaid Man: A double krabby patty and coral bits for me, and a silly meal for the lad.<br>

Barnacle Boy: It's not for the toy, I just...I've gotta fit in the tights, y'know?<br>

Squidward: Whatever. Five dollars, please.<br>

Mermaid Man: You got it, bucky. Will this cover it? (pulls out a nut/bolt)<br>

Squidward: No.<br>

Barnacle Boy: Listen big nose, this guy has been saving your butt since you were born. Don't you got a living legend 
discount or something?<br>

Squidward: This is a restaurant, not a lending library. And who are you calling big nose, big nose? (both press noses 
against each other. Barnacle Boy gets out a $5 bill and gives it to Squidward)<br>

Barnacle Boy: Well next time danger threatens, don't expect any help from us!<br>

Squidward: I’m shakin’. Heh. Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.<br>

SpongeBob: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy? Must...play...have autograph! (stretches arms to gets a piece of paper and a pen)<br>

Mermaid Man: If you wanna grow up strong like me...you gotta leave room for seconds. Here comes our waiter!<br>

SpongeBob: Autographhhhh!!!!<br>

Barnacle Boy: Holy sea cow, it's that Sponge-kid!<br>

Mermaid Man: Quick lad, (pants falls down) to the invisible boat mobile! Away!<br>

Barnacle Boy: Where'd we park?<br>

Mermaid Man: Uhh...<br>

SpongeBob: Can I have your bowling can I have your bowling can I.. they're gone! (gasps) Mermaid Man's belt!<br>

Mermaid Man: Wait! We'll find it with the invisible boat alarm! (Barnacle Boy jumps on the stick shift)<br>

Barnacle Boy: Ow! I told you we shoulda’ got the automatic!<br>

SpongeBob: Hey guys! Wait up! I've got something for you...<br>

Barnacle Boy: Floor it! (both speed off in the boat)<br>

SpongeBob: You forgot your belt! You forgot...Mermaid Man's secret utility belt! The emblem of submersible justice! For 65 
years, this belt has helped prevent the fall of nations...and pants. I can't believe I'm actually holding it in my hands! 
Well, I guess I should return it. Or not! I could just hang onto it till after work...all alone with Mermaid Man's belt. I 
wonder what this button does! Whoa! The small ray! Hmm...<br>

Squidward: Here's your shake, sir. (hands a small krabby patty to a cockroach)<br>

SpongeBob: There you go. Every night before he went to sleep, Jonah would pray and ask God if he find a new message to find to deliver, sir.<br>

Squidward: SpongeBob, what's going on in here? Huh? (SpongeBob wears a tiny hat and holds a tiny spatula) Why's everything all... tiny?<br>

SpongeBob: I don't know.<br>

Squidward: What do you got there?<br>

SpongeBob: Nothing.<br>

Squidward: No, really?<br>

SpongeBob: Nothing.<br>

Squidward: You've got something alright, let's see it!<br>

SpongeBob: No! No!<br>

Squidward: Is that Mermaid Man's belt?<br>

SpongeBob: Yes.<br>

Squidward: Wow! I can't believe he'd lend it to you!<br>

SpongeBob: Me, uh, either.<br>

Squidward: He didn't lend it to you, did he?<br>

SpongeBob: Please don't tell!<br>

Squidward: You stole it!<br>

SpongeBob: Please don't tell!<br>

Squidward: Oh. I'm telling.<br>

SpongeBob: Squidward, if Mermaid Man finds out, he'll kick me out of his fan club for sure! Please don't tell!<br>

Squidward: Uh-oh! There's the phone<br>

SpongeBob: Don't!<br>

Squidward: I'm walking towards the phone! (walks towards phone)<br>

SpongeBob: No!<br>

Squidward: I'm getting closer to the phone!<br>

SpongeBob: Do-o-on't!<br>

Squidward: And now, for the moment we've all been waiting for...<br>

SpongeBob: I'm begging you!<br>

Squidward: (picks up the phone) Hello. I'd like to speak to Mermaid... (SpongeBob shrinks Squidward) What the...what... 
(phones hits Squidward) Ow!<br>

Mermaid Man: Hello? Hello?<br>

Squidward: What did you do to me?<br>

SpongeBob: I'm sorry Squidward, but you made me do it!<br>

Squidward: Spongebob, if you don't return me to normal size right now, you are gonna be in really big trouble!<br>

SpongeBob: Uhh....ok...uhh...<br>

Squidward: I said now!<br>

SpongeBob: Uhh...uhh... (belt is shown with many buttons to it)<br>

Squidward: Do you hear me? (SpongeBob changes Squidward into a multi-eyed Squidward) Holy fish paste! Get it off me! Get it 
off me! (takes eyes off him) Don't you know how to work that thing?<br>

SpongeBob: Uhh, I can do it! (SpongeBob changes Squidward a lot)<br>

Squidward: Sto-o-p! I've got an idea. Let's call Mermaid Man and...<br>

SpongeBob: No! I can't let you do that! But there must be someone else who can help! Someone smart and wise, with years of 
life experience...Patrick! Patrick! Patrick! Patrick!<br>

Patrick: Ehh? Huh? Oh. Hi SpongeBob.<br>

SpongeBob: Patrick, I was at work and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy came, and I got this belt, and look<br>

Patrick: A Squidward action figure! Let me play with it!<br>

SpongeBob: No, Patrick!<br>

Patrick: Fighter pilot! Dive bomb!<br>

SpongeBob: Patrick!<br>

Patrick: And here comes a giant fist!<br>

SpongeBob: Patrick, no! That's not an action figure! That's the real Squidward! I shrunk him by accident.<br>

Patrick: Oh...and here comes a giant fist!<br>

SpongeBob: Pat, you don't understand! This is serious! I don't know how to unshrink him! He could be stuck like this for the rest of his life.<br>

Patrick: Oh, don't worry about it. He'll find love one day... 

SpongeBob: You think so?<br>

Patrick: Well, sure. But it'll be with someone his own size. Like this pickle! See? They like each other!<br>

Squidward: N-n-n-n-no. (Patrick bangs them together like they wanna kiss)<br>

SpongeBob: Oh, if only I knew how to work this thing!<br>

Patrick: Lemme take a look at it.Hmmm...you know what the problem is?<br>

SpongeBob: What?<br>

Patrick: You got it set to 'M' for Mini when it should be set to 'W' for Wumbo. br>

SpongeBob: Patrick, I don't think Wumbo is a real word.<br>


Squidward: I wonder if a fall from this height could be enough to kill me.<br>


SpongeBob: Patrick, I'm sorry I doubted you.<br>

Patrick: Well alright then. Let 'er rip! It worked!<br>

SpongeBob: Oh no!<br>

Patrick: Look, SpongeBob’s giant! Can I be giant next?<br>

SpongeBob: Patrick, I'm not giant, you shrunk too!<br>

Patrick: You're kidding! Good thing I still got this pickle!<br>

Squidward: Hey! Now will you take us to Mermaid Man!<br>

SpongeBob: No! He can never find out! But I'll think of something. I promise. Until then, you'll be safe in this jar.<br>

Patrick: You know what's funny? My pickle started out in a jar, and now it's in one again! Heh. It's like a pun or 
something. Heheh.<br>

SpongeBob: It's only two people... no big deal, nobody else saw it...<br>

Sandy: Howdy, SpongeBob!<br>

SpongeBob: Aah! Sandy! (shrinks Sandy)<br>

Sandy: What did y...for cryin’ o...What did y'all do to me?<br>

SpongeBob: I'm sorry Sandy! Mermaid Man came in and..<br>

Larry: Hey SpongeBob (shrinks Larry)<br>

Fish #1: Hey SpongeBob, I... (shrinks fish)<br>

Fish #2: Hi SpongeBob. (shrinks fish)<br>

Mrs. Puff: Hello SpongeBob. (shrinks Mrs. Puff)<br>

Scooter: Sponge-dude! (shrinks Scooter)<br>

SpongeBob: Whoo! I'm gonna have to get a bigger jar.<br>

Squidward: SpongeBob, will you just face facts? You've shrunken everybody in Bikini Bottom! You've got to go to Mermaid Man!
<br>

SpongeBob: Oh Squidward, he'll be so disappointed...<br>

Sandy: Well, you can't leave us small forever!<br>

SpongeBob: You don't understand!<br>

Mrs. SquarePants: SpongeBob, you need to admit your mistakes!<br>

SpongeBob: Mom?!<br>

Mermaid Man: Your mother's right, son. Mermaid Man will understand.<br>

Barnacle Boy: You're Mermaid Man, you old coot!<br>

Mermaid Man: Oh yeah.<br>

SpongeBob: Mermaid Man? I'm so sorry, it's just that I'm such a big fan, and your belt, and...<br>

Mermaid Man: Oh, don't worry son. I understand. Why, I remember back when I first used the belt, the year was nineteen o 
eleventeen twelve, why I believe the president 

All: Just tell him how to unshrink us!!!!!<br>

Mermaid Man: Oh, yes. The unshrink ray... let's see, uh.. uh... did you set it to Wumbo?<br>

All: What?! (spells out GET SPONGEBOB!) Get SpongeBob!! Ahh!

Squidward: Now I have to drive five miles to go to the bathroom in my own home!<br>

Sandy: And I need an elevator to climb one stair! HI-YA!<br>

Mermaid man: We've been shrinking for years!<br>

Barnacle boy: But this is ridiculous!<br>

All: Everything's too big!!<br>

SpongeBob: I've got it! (Shrinks town) Ta-da! Since I couldn't make you big, I made the city small! And now, only one more 
thing to shrink. Cheese! (shrinks self)<br>

Squidward: I guess this is okay.<br>

Larry: Yeah, what's the difference?<br>

Lady fish: Good idea, SpongeBob. (everyone cheers as a bus comes back and Plankton gets off of it)<br>

Plankton: Well, it's great to be back! (notices small Bikini Bottom)
