[The episode starts at Mrs. Puff's Boating School]

Mr. Gunther Fitz: Morning, Mrs. Puff. I'm Mr. Fitz. I represent the 'Boating Teachers Accreditation Bureau'. As you know, your teaching certificate is up for renewal. However, we have noticed there have been an unusually large amount of failings from this classroom.

Mrs. Puff: That's impossible. In all my years of teaching, only one student has failed my class.

Mr. Fitz: Yes, but he's failed 1,258,056 times. [Shows folder with a bunch of files. While flipping through them, SpongeBob's picture is him laughing frame by frame while his laughter is heard]

Mrs. Puff: You don't understand. SpongeBob is unteachable.

Mr. Fitz: We cannot blame the students for the incompetence of the teacher.

SpongeBob: Honk honk! Beep beep! I'm ready to drive. Are you ready for my driving test today, Mrs. Puff?

Mr. Fitz: Okay, Mrs. Puff, if SpongeBob fails this test, you will be replaced.

[Bubble transition to Mrs. Puff, SpongeBob, and Mr. Fitz in the boat.]

Mrs. Puff: Okay, SpongeBob, let's demonstrate for Mr. Fitz everything I've taught you in boating school. Now, what's the first thing we do before we start boating?

SpongeBob: [snaps fingers] Seat-belt-aroony. One second. [gets tangled in seat-belt then squeezes self through. Mr. Fitz writes on his notepad]

Mrs. Puff: Then what do you do?

SpongeBob: Start the engine?

Mrs. Puff: Yes.

SpongeBob: [starts the boat] What do I do now?

Mrs. Puff: Drive the boat. [SpongeBob drives into a boat]

SpongeBob: Did I pass this time, Mrs. Puff?

Mrs. Puff: No, SpongeBob, you failed.

SpongeBob: I failed?

Mr. Fitz: It's not you that failed, SpongeBob. It's Mrs. Puff that's failed you. You are relieved of your teaching duties.

Mrs. Puff: I won't be teaching SpongeBob anymore? [starts laughing louder and louder] No more... SpongeBob?! I thought this day would never come. Goodbye, SpongeBob! Have a nice life. [flies away] Free at last! Free at last!

SpongeBob: [in classroom] I got Mrs. Puff fired. [banging and crashing]

Sergeant Sam Roderick: Hello, worthless students. I'm your new instructor. [he smashes Mrs. Puff's nameplate] No one's ever failed my class... that's lived through it. I can assure you these next 4 weeks will be the worst years of your miserable lives. Your spine will break, your teeth will ache, your eyes will be bloodshot. You will drive out of this school in style. Or you will be carted out in your granny's hand basket. Everyone will follow the rules of the class. First rule: No talking.

Nat: Does that mean... [Roderick throws Nat through the door]

Roderick: Second Rule: no eating in my class. Would anyone care for a bon-bon? [All the students, including SpongeBob, keep silent]

Monroe: Uhh, I'll eat one! [all gasp. Monroe walks to Roderick]

Roderick: Pick your favorite. [Monroe takes one and eats it] How's it taste?

Monroe: It's a delightful taste sensation.

Roderick: No eating in my classroom! [throws Monroe through another door] Now, if anyone else is man enough to stay in this class... [everyone but SpongeBob run out] Looks like you're the man, Sponge.

SpongeBob: I am?

Roderick: [outside] Do you wanna learn how to drive or what?

SpongeBob: Yes, sir! I'm ready to drive. [jumps in the boat]

Roderick: What do you think you're doing?

SpongeBob: Ready for my test, sir.

Roderick: [takes SpongeBob out of the boat] You're not ready to drive yet until you learn that first. [shows roads will all sorts of obstacles] This is [the] most grueling driving course ever devised. You will learn every turn, bump, and crack on it. You'll start out crawling it.

SpongeBob: Crawl?

[Bubble transition to SpongeBob crawling at the starting line.]

Roderick: Hut two. Hut two. Hut two. Hut two. [SpongeBob crawls forward]

SpongeBob: Left turn. [turns left] Crack. Bump. Nickel. Hey a nickel!

Roderick: Keep your eyes on the road, cadet.

SpongeBob: Pebble! [crawls faster and more out of control. Gets the pebble stuck in his hand and goes on screaming] Ahhh, whoa! Ahhh, whoa! [SpongeBob's butt gets set on fire rolls down the obstacle course then into the air, out of the water, then back down where the instructor catches him as he screams] Ahhh, whoa! Ahhh! [he stops screaming] Whew! [falls with only his arm taken off]

Roderick: I'm ashamed of you, cadet. [removes the pebble from SpongeBob's hand] Tripped up by a wee pebble. [crushes the pebble] What are you suppose to be learning in my class?

SpongeBob: How to drive, sir?

Roderick: Affirmative. But before you learn to drive, you must learn to crawl. And then you learn to walk and then you learn to run. But before you learn to walk, you must learn to crawl. [bends SpongeBob's arm] I want you to crawl! [puts SpongeBob's arm back]

SpongeBob: Sir, yes, sir!

Roderick: Now get out there! [SpongeBob crawls around a hole then his instructor takes off his shoes and socks except the ripped top parts of his socks; he wiggles his toes after his shoes are forcibly taken off, and carries the instructor on his back barefooted. Then he stops at a stop sign, and runs in and out of some radioactive waste] Every good boater needs to know his vehicle inside and out. [hands SpongeBob a wrench] Here, go take that boat apart. [SpongeBob takes the boat apart] I'm impressed, son. Put it back together again!

SpongeBob: [laughs] That'll be easy.

Roderick: Are you sure?

SpongeBob: Um, yeah. You just put the jigamahoo on the doohickey and uhh... [laughs] I might need a couple minutes. [later, the instructor is sleeping] It's ready, sarge! [SpongeBob has re-assembled the boat into a rocket ship.]

Roderick: Jumpin' jellyfish... [the rocket blasts off]

SpongeBob: Watch for pedestrians. Check mirrors. Observe that speed limit. Watch for pedestrians! [crashes through a lot of pedestrians as he screams and he gets out of control] So, umm, how'd I do?

Roderick: How'd you do? Why don't you ask the shattered remains of this pedestrian... [yelling] how you did!

SpongeBob: Now I know this forwards, backwards, and sideways. Am I ready to get behind the wheel?

Roderick: Not quite. [puts blindfold on SpongeBob] Now do it blindfolded.

[SpongeBob crashes through another pedestrian off-screen.]

French Narrator: Several days later...

SpongeBob: 1003, 1004, 1005. [stops] Ooh, pebble #143. [steps over pebble] Ha! You will not trip me up again, pebble #143. 1006, 1007, 1008. [old lady pedestrian pops up with a ham sandwich] Old lady with a ham sandwich. 1009, 1010, 1011, 1012, 1... 13.

Roderick: Congratulations. You're ready to get behind the wheel.

SpongeBob: Really? I'm ready! I'm ready. I'm... [runs into a pole]

Roderick: [now in boat] Let's see what I taught you, laddy.

SpongeBob: Yes, sir! [drives boat] Left turn at pebble #143. Kid with a ball. [SpongeBob continues] Nice boy.

Roderick: Nice driving. Now parallel park up ahead. [SpongeBob parallel parks] Very good. [now at real exam] Now, boy, the time has come to show Mr. Fits what you've learn.

SpongeBob: Yes, sir! Step 1: seatbelts. [puts on seatbelt with no problem]

Roderick: Excellent work, cadet. What's next?

SpongeBob: Step 2 would be... ignite engine.

Roderick: Step 3?

SpongeBob: Step 3 would be... [takes out blindfold and his eyes shrink] ...engage blindfold.

Roderick: What? You can't drive a boat with a blindfold on. That's illegal.

SpongeBob: But I can't do it without a blindfold.

Roderick: Drive, boy! Drive!

[SpongeBob kicks down on the gas pedal and the boat is off. At the first turn is a giant red canister labeled "GAS." SpongeBob fails to make the right turn and instead crashes right into the gas can, obliterating the boating school faculty in a mushroom-radius explosion, and sending debris from the boating school sign, etc., flying everywhere. As the debris begins to clear, the boat flies into the air and goes soaring.]

Roderick: Mayday! Mayday! You're off course. [boat drives into 2 buildings then underground. Spurts out from a fire hydrant. Then crashes through a bakery and into a field where Mrs. Puff is painting the scenery]

Mrs. Puff: Ah, I feel so serene now that I'm away from that homicidal maniac, SpongeBob. [Mrs. Puff notices the boat and attempts to paint something really quick. When boat runs into her, the painting shows SpongeBob, the instructor, and Mr. Fitz fearing their lives]

Roderick: The brake son!

SpongeBob: Aye aye, sir. [takes brake apart] There you go, sir. All I had to do was unscrew two of the bolts.

Roderick: I'm gonna stop this thing. Tell my wife I love her. [jumps in front of the boat in an attempt to stop it] Come get some! [boat runs over him]

SpongeBob: Man down. Man down. [SpongeBob drives into the city and into each building] Sorry, excuse me. Sorry.

Patrick: Hey, SpongeBob!

SpongeBob: Sorry, Patrick, I can't stop the boat right now. [boat drives out of the now destroyed city, and then cuts to SpongeBob driving while wearing Patrick's pants over his eyes] I can't see! I can't see!

Patrick: My pants!

SpongeBob: Hey, I can't see! [dodges traffic and pedestrians as Mrs. Puff screams. Parallel parks] Did I pass?

Mr. Fitz: Well, if there was a 'destroy the city' part of the test, you would have.

Patrick: [takes pants off SpongeBob's head] The nerve of some people.

Mr. Fitz: Sorry, SpongeBob, you failed again. Even our finest instructor could not teach you. Mrs. Puff, you're hired again.

SpongeBob: [at boating school] Hey, Mrs. Puff! Sorry I'm "unteachable."

Mrs. Puff: It's okay. Mr. Fitz gave me my teaching certificate back. [sniffles, holds up a burnt, charred object] And your dossier was destroyed in the explosion, [voice breaking] so it's as if you never failed.

SpongeBob: I got you a welcome back gift, Mrs. Puff. [shows name tag] I found all the pieces and glued them back together. I promise it won't take me a million tries this time.

[Mrs. Puff puts her head down on her desk and begins to sob quietly, and the name tag shatters as the episode ends.]
