[The episode begins with SpongeBob and Patrick at the
Jellyfish Convention, where everything is about jellyfish. SpongeBob is wearing
a jellyfish hat and Patrick is wearing a net on his head.]
SpongeBob: Wow! I can't believe it! We're actually
here at the biannual Jellyfish Convention!
Patrick: Jellyfish are awesome!
SpongeBob: Cool! State-of-the-art jellyfish nets!
Patrick: [touches one of the nets] Touch.
Guard: Don't touch.
SpongeBob: [SpongeBob and Patrick walk up to a giant
harpoon with gobs of jelly on it] Wow! The harpoon from "Jellyfish: The
Movie!"
Patrick: [touches it] Touch.
Guard: Don't touch!
SpongeBob: [he and Patrick walk up to a crowd,
watching a fish with a giant sore on his cheek pointing to a board with a mean
jellyfish picture on it] Look! Dr. Manowar! The guy who got stung by Big Lenny
and lived!
Dr. Manowar: [talking in a microphone] And now it only
hurts when you touch it. [Patrick goes up and touches his sore. Manowar screams
in pain]
Patrick: Touch.
Guard: Do I have to follow you all day?!
SpongeBob: Oh! Patrick, look! Can it be?
Patrick: Ice cream?
SpongeBob: No, it's the Jellyspotters! [we see a crowd
of people around a group of fish and a sea cucumber, obviously the leader. He
has glasses and a crown thing coming from his head] Bikini Bottom's premier
jellyfish enthusiast club! Ah! And their leader! The coolest jellyfish
enthusiast ever! [camera pans up from the cucumber's feet to his face] Kevin
the Sea Cucumber!
Patrick: What's so great about a nerdy pickle?
SpongeBob: If I could just touch the hem of his pocket
protector, then maybe some of his greatness would rub off on me.
Patrick: SpongeBob, as a friend, I must say that's
really geeky. [a guy in a giant jellyfish costume walks by. Patrick gasps] Oh
my gosh! Jeffrey Jellyfish! Wait, Jeffrey! I have to touch you! [runs after
him, followed by the guard yelling]
Guard: Hey! [chases Patrick, cut back to the
Jellyspotters]
Kevin C. Cucumber : Bamboo? I only use composite
materials in my net handle. [the crowd writes notes]
Crowd: [all muttering as they write] Composite
materials?
Kevin: Next question. [the crowd writes notes again]
Crowd: [all muttering again] Next question?
SpongeBob: [pops out in front of the crowd, his pupils
are huge and he speaks as if in a trance] Uh... [the crowd stops chattering and
looks at him] Hi, Kevin.
Kevin: Hi. What is your question?
SpongeBob: Hi, Kevin.
Kevin: Whatever. Next question, please. [he points to
the other side of the crowd, SpongeBob pops up there, too]
SpongeBob: Hi, Kevin.
Kevin: Hello, loser. All right, you, way in the back.
SpongeBob: [pops up way in the back] Hi, Kevin.
Kevin: Does anyone here have an actual-? [Kevin hears
SpongeBob heavily breathing from the left. Kevin and the rest turn to see him]
SpongeBob: Hi, Kevin. I'm your biggest fan.
Kevin: You're too kind. [yells] Security!
SpongeBob: No, wait! I would do anything for you!
Kevin: Why don't you go jump off a building? [Kevin
hears SpongeBob's scream and see him fall from the view through the window.
Then SpongeBob appears back in the building]
SpongeBob: Anything!
Kevin: Punch yourself in the face. [SpongeBob does so
with a boxing glove. His face is pushed in a bit] Doesn't that hurt you?
SpongeBob: [holds up a metal glove with spiked
knuckles] Do you want it to hurt me, Kevin? [Kevin and the Jellyspotters all
laugh]
Kevin: That is the best! [continue laughing] This
guy's great! We have got to bring this guy jellyfishing with us!
Anchovy Jellyspotter: No, Kevin, no. He's a geek.
Kevin: [whispering] Look, I won't let the guy join the
club. I just want to see how many times he can get stung before he goes running
home like a baby.
Anchovy Jellyspotter: Meep-meep, Kevin's a genius.
[the other anchovy Jellyspotters join in repeatedly saying so]
Kevin: Hey, kid. how would you like to try out for the
Jellyspotters?
[SpongeBob is on a hospital bed.]
Doctor: Clear.
SpongeBob: [The doctor fish zaps him with the
defibrillator and SpongeBob jumps up] I'd love it! [cut to Kevin and the fish
supposedly walking through Jellyfish Fields] [off-screen with their legs]
Kevin: Ah, nothing like driving through Jellyfish
Fields with the top down, eh, Jellyspotters? [the Jellyspotters meep in
agreement. Pan down to see that SpongeBob is carrying them. He stops]
SpongeBob: [breathes out] Uh... here we are, Jellyfish
Fields. Ohh... [he collapses. The Jellyspotters get off]
Kevin: I hope you didn't forget our nets.
SpongeBob: I didn't forget them, Kevin. They're in the
trunk. [SpongeBob turns around, and the back of his pants opens like a trunk.
The group takes the nets and jars out, revealing SpongeBob's buttocks.
SpongeBob now has all the nets and jars in his arms] I can't believe I'm
actually out here with the Jellyspotters! I mean all my life I wanted to be a
Jellyspotter... [SpongeBob starts to vibrate and jump around] ...and now I'm
out here with you guys with the nets and the jars and the jellyfish and I'm
with Kevin and Kevin's with me and we're all with each other and we're all
jellyfishing and it's fun and-
Kevin: Hold it! [SpongeBob freezes, literally] Before
you become a Jellyspotter, you have to pass a rigorous test.
Jellyspotters: [laughing] Meep! Rigorous test!
[continuing laughing]
Kevin: [To the Jellyspotters] Quiet! Shh! [To
SpongeBob] Your first test: catch a jellyfish. [a jellyfish flies into
SpongeBob's net]
SpongeBob: Hey, I caught one! Am I a Jellyspotter now?
Jellyspotters: Meep, he caught one. In the club.
["Meep" discussions]
Kevin: Uh, that doesn't count. [he slaps the net and
the jellyfish flies out and stings the side of his head] Ouch! [The jellyfish
flies away. Kevin grows a giant red sore where he got stung.]
Anchovy Jellyspotter: [off-screen in mocking voice]
Wah-wah-waaaaah!
Kevin: I meant two jellyfish! [two jellyfish
immediately fly in SpongeBob's net]
Jellyspotters: Two jellyfish, meep, in the net.
["Meep" discussions]
Kevin: Th-That's not what I meant! I meant 20
jellyfish! [18 more jellyfish immediately fly into SpongeBob's net]
SpongeBob: [counting] Oh, Uh, let's see, one, two,
three? [Kevin growls and kicks the net, causing all 20 jellyfish to sting him
in a blaze of electricity.]
Kevin: Ooh-ooh-ow! Ooh! Ow! [The jellyfish fly off,
leaving Kevin with a bunch of sores all over his body]
Anchovy Jellyspotter: [off-screen in mocking voice]
Wah-wah-waaaaah! [cut to the fields, where Kevin has a jar of jelly]
Kevin: Jellyspotters allow jellyfish to eat jelly off
their face. [Kevin smears some jelly on the lower half SpongeBob's face]
SpongeBob: Who wants to lick my cheeks? [some
jellyfish swim by] I see I have some takers!
Kevin: How does it feel?
SpongeBob: [sporting a huge jellyfish mustache and
beard. He laughs] It tickles my nose!
Kevin: Not for long. [he and the Jellyspotters
snicker. SpongeBob sneezes, firing the entire swarm of jellyfish onto Kevin's
eyes. They sting them and now he has big red swollen eyes]
Anchovy Jellyspotter: Wah-wah-waaaaah!
Kevin: [turns to the fish making that taunting noise]
Will you cut that out?!
SpongeBob: Am I in the Jellyspotters now?
Kevin: No! I have many more tests for you to take!
[Bubble transition to SpongeBob walking upside-down, with a net and a
jellyfish]
SpongeBob: Am I in the Jellyspotters now? [the
jellyfish stings Kevin's nose, making it big and swollen]
Kevin: No. [Bubble transition to SpongeBob having
caught a jellyfish blindfolded]
SpongeBob: Am I in the Jellyspotters now? [the
jellyfish stings Kevin's crown and it becomes swollen, into some
broccoli-shaped blister]
Kevin: No. [cut to just SpongeBob]
SpongeBob: Now? [we hear zapping sounds. Now Kevin's
ears are big and swollen]
Kevin: No. [cut to just SpongeBob again]
SpongeBob: Now? [more zapping noises. Kevin's lips are
now huge and swollen]
Kevin: No. [cut to Sponge once more]
SpongeBob: Now? [Jellyfish zaps Kevin. Kevin's butt is
now huge and swollen]
Kevin: [screaming] No!
SpongeBob: Now? [Jellyfish zaps Kevin] Now? [Jellyfish
zaps Kevin] Now? [a large zap is shown, and Kevin is big and swollen due to him
getting zapped several times]
Kevin: [infuriated] Okay, SquarePants, it is your turn
to get zapped! [Quickly realizes] I mean... are you ready for your final test?
SpongeBob: I'm ready!
Kevin: You'd better be, because we're going to capture
a queen jellyfish.
SpongeBob: A queen? Can I help?
Kevin: Oh, don't worry. We can't do it without you!
[cut to SpongeBob being tied by arms and legs, hanging from two sticks]
SpongeBob: This is fantastic! I've never been bait
before! I don't think I've ever seen a queen jellyfish either.
Kevin: Well, then you've probably never used a queen
jellyfish call. Why don't you try it out? [hands him a blower thing. SpongeBob
blows and it makes a weird groaning sound that sort of sounds like,
"Loser."]
SpongeBob: Hey, I've heard this call before.
Kevin: I'll bet you have. [the Jellyspotters walk off]
SpongeBob: Hey, where are you going?
Kevin: Oh, don't worry, we'll be right behind this
bush. [they kneel down behind it. Kevin gets zapped again. A jellyfish flies
off, and he stands up covered in sores] Who's got my sting ointment? [kneels
down again]
SpongeBob: This is great! When I pass this test, I'll
be an official jellyfish spotter! [he continues to blow that horn thing, which
keeps saying, "Loser." Soon, it becomes dark and he's tired of
blowing] Hey, Kevin. I don't think it's working. Nothing. [a giant shadow looms
over SpongeBob. He looks up, to find a giant jellyfish with a tiara] Hey, hey,
Kevin! She's here! Look, she's here! She's here, Kevin! She... [the bush blows
away, revealing nothing, except Kevin's ointment. SpongeBob screams and the
jellyfish zaps the poles off. SpongeBob runs up and down hills, dodging the
jellyfish's stingers. He comes upon a cliff and can't go any further. He begs
on his hands and knees] Please don't be angry, your highness! I would have let
you go! [cries. Just then, a screen on the jellyfish opens, revealing Kevin and
the Jellyspotters, controlling the machine from the inside. They laugh.
SpongeBob gasps] Kevin!
Kevin: That's right! You should have seen the look on
your face when we zapped you!
SpongeBob: But... What about my final test? [they all
laugh]
Kevin: Did you think we'd actually let you into the
Jellyspotters?
SpongeBob: But, Kevin, I was your biggest fan!
Kevin: So were they. [points to the bottom of the
cliff, where a bunch of people are by a fire. One looks up]
Guy: Hey, look, everybody. Kevin's back! [they all
yell up at him in praise]
Kevin: You looked so dumb with your dorky jellyfish
call! [he and the Jellyspotters imitating] Loser, loser, loser loser loser!
[SpongeBob blushes and sadly frowns]
SpongeBob: I am not a loser!
Kevin: Loooooser! [as Kevin continues saying
"loser," a giant, even bigger than the queen, jellyfish comes from
the cliff. It is wearing a robe and a crown] Ah-ha-ha-ha! [the Jellyspotters
finally notice] Cnidaria rex!
SpongeBob: King Jellyfish! [the king sees the queen
and is instantly smitten. It grows lips and puckers up]
Kevin: Kissy face! [the queen and SpongeBob run off.
The king gives a chase. The queen eventually crashes into a billboard for
Kevin's Ointment and breaks apart.]
Jellyfish King: Huh? [the king sees Kevin, the
Jellyspotters, and SpongeBob. Record scratch sound effect. Kevin quivers]
[angrily] Keeeee-viiiiin! [it zaps the ground and they all run off. They find
refuge in a cave. The king jellyfish comes back with a helmet and football
uniform and attempts to bash in the cave. Inside, the Jellyspotters and
SpongeBob are pretty scared. The bashing stops]
Kevin: I think he's gone. One of you, go out and
check. [the Jellyspotters push one fish out of the cave to see. The anchovy
Jellyspotter looks around and "meep-meep"s happily, giving the
all-clear. He soon gets zapped and "meep-meep"s not to come out. All
the Jellyspotters go around Kevin asking what to do]
Jellyspotters: Meep! Save us! Meep, Kevin, save us!
[more meep begging]
Kevin: Don't look at me! I was just in this for the
fashion! [close up on Kevin's pants, with patches, stickers and a toy jellyfish
coming out of his pocket] It's hopeless! We're trapped! We're trapped! [he sits
down and curls to a ball] Help me, mommy! Help me! I want my blankie! I want my
blankie!
SpongeBob: [to the fish] Now what do we do? [the
Jellyspotters get down and imitate Kevin. SpongeBob decides enough is enough
and goes out to face the king. The king growls and buzzes. SpongeBob takes out
a bottle of bubble mix in response]
Jellyfish King: What the? [SpongeBob inhales and blows
a bubble in the shape of a giant cherry pie. The king, satisfied, leaves to eat
his snack] Hmm? Mm, mm, mm! Yummy! [the Jellyspotters come out and gather
around SpongeBob. Other Jellyspotters "meep" happily. Kevin follows]
Kevin: I can't believe it! How did you know?
SpongeBob: [laughs] Everybody loves pie!
Anchovy Jellyspotter: [mocking voice] Wah-wah-waaaaah!
Kevin: Well, SquarePants, that was impressive, but
you're still not in the club because you didn't catch a queen jellyfish. [the
other Jellyspotters narrow their eyes and run over to Kevin, off-screen] Wait,
what are you doing? [rip] Aaah! [the fish run back with Kevin's crown and place
it on SpongeBob. He laughs]
SpongeBob: Wow, I didn't know this was a hat!
Kevin: [teary-eyed; with a torn part where his
"crown" used to be] It wasn't...
[Cut to back at the convention. SpongeBob talks to
Patrick.]
SpongeBob: Hi, Patrick!
Patrick: Hi, SpongeBob! Did you get into that club?
SpongeBob: Yeah, but I turned them down. It's not
about Kevin, it's about jellyfish!
Patrick: Well, SpongeBob, I'm glad you learned your lesson. [pan out to see that Patrick has Jeffrey Jellyfish tied up in a wagon he's towing] Hero worship is unhealthy. [the two walk off] C'mon, Jeffrey.
