French Narrator: It is a very special day in Bikini
Bottom.
SpongeBob: I'm ready! [walking up to Mrs. Puff's
Boating School with Patrick] I'm ready! I'm ready! Patrick, did you bring my
flashcards?
Patrick: Right here, buddy. [takes them out of his
pocket] Everything you need to pass the test is on these cards. [eats the
cards] Mmm.
SpongeBob: No, Patrick!
Patrick: Hey, learning tastes good.
SpongeBob: Patrick, I needed those.
Patrick: Oh, fiddlesticks. You've taken that driving
test more times than anyone.
SpongeBob: 57 times.
Patrick: Well, then 58 is your lucky number. You're
gonna pass that driving test, SpongeBob, because you're a winner.
SpongeBob: I'm a winner?
Patrick: Who's a winner?
SpongeBob: [sadly] I'm a winner.
Patrick: Who's a winner?
SpongeBob: [cheered up a little] I'm a winner.
Patrick: Who's a winner?!
SpongeBob: I'm a winner! I'm a winner! I'm a winner!
[runs into the classroom]
French Narrator: One minute thirty seven seconds
later... [SpongeBob walks up crying]
Patrick: How'd you do, winner? [SpongeBob's crying
continues] Let's see that license.
SpongeBob: I didn't get a license, Patrick.
Patrick: Are they gonna mail it to you?
SpongeBob: No, Patrick, I failed the boating test. I
guess 58 wasn't my lucky number after all.
Patrick: No way! 58 is, like, the luckiest number
ever! The test must be rigged.
SpongeBob: Let's just go home, Patrick.
Patrick: We're not going anywhere until I get to the
bottom of this. I'm taking that test, myself.
SpongeBob: [hanging onto Patrick's pants] No, Patrick!
I've been training for years. They'll eat you alive. [Patrick's pants rip off]
Patrick: Please, SpongeBob. I think I know what I'm
doing.
SpongeBob: No, Patrick. No!
Mrs. Puff: [Patrick walks up to the boat she is
sitting in and gets in it, in his underwear] Good morning.
Patrick: You're not the judge of me!
Mrs. Puff: Actually, I am. Let the testing begin!
[clicks her pen. Scene cuts to SpongeBob, outside the boating school]
SpongeBob: I shouldn't have let him do it. What kind
of friend am I?
Patrick: SpongeBob! SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: I'm here for you, buddy.
Patrick: I passed my test!
SpongeBob: You got a perfect score?
Patrick: Yeah, I thought you said it was hard.
SpongeBob: Perfect score. [eye twitches]
Patrick: Come on, I'm gonna get my picture taken for
my new license. [scene cuts to the license registration building]
Miss Shell: Stand behind the line, sir.
Patrick: [smiling] How do I look?
SpongeBob: [sarcastically] Like a winner.
Miss Shell: Ready?
Patrick: Ready. [banner comes down which says
"CONGRATULATIONS" on it. Balloons and confetti fall]
SpongeBob: Huh?
Fish: Congratulations, Mr. Star. You're the one
millionth person to pass the test.
Patrick: Does that mean I get a free key chain?
Fish: Uhh, no.
Patrick: Oh.
Fish: You get a brand-new boat mobile. The new Bass
Blaster 3000. The ultimate boating machine.[Patrick runs up to the new
boatmobile as SpongeBob's jaw drops]
Patrick: Yeah! All right!
Fish: Women will want you. [all sigh] Men will want to
be you. [all faint] You'll be the envy of your friends. [SpongeBob growling in
fury]
Patrick: Isn't this great? I got my license and a new
boat.
SpongeBob: I'm so happy for you... ["La
Cucaracha" horn blows in his face] Whoa!
Patrick: The horn works. [scene cuts to Patrick
driving his new boat down the road] Woo! This is the greatest day ever. Right,
SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: Right, Patrick. I can't think of one thing
that would make this day better. Except maybe getting my license.
Patrick: Maybe if you apply yourself you could be the
two millionth person to get his license.
SpongeBob: Two millionth?
Patrick: Then you can get a free boat just like me.
SpongeBob: Yeah, just like you.
Patrick: I try to serve as an inspiration to others.
SpongeBob: Can we go home now? [zoom out and scene
shows Patrick driving around his rock over and over] We've been driving around
your house for hours.
Patrick: I know. It's a lot faster than walking, isn't
it?
SpongeBob: Thanks for the ride, Patrick.
Patrick: No problem, buddy. You can't help being a...
pedestrian. [shudders then drives off. SpongeBob imitates Patrick. Scene cuts
to SpongeBob in bed asleep. His clock turns to 3:00am when an engine revving is
heard which sends SpongeBob into his diving board then back into his bed]
SpongeBob: Patrick, what are you doing?
Patrick: I'm trying to work on my boat mobile. Now
could you keep it down? It's 3:00 in the morning, people are trying to sleep.
[SpongeBob groans and slams his window shut, breaking it, before going back to
bed. Scene cuts to 4:00am]
SpongeBob: 4:00? [yawns. Doorbell rings] Who could be
at the door at this hou— [falls down the stairs. Opens the door] Now what is
it, Patrick?
Patrick: You will never guess what happen to me today.
SpongeBob: You got your license.
Patrick: Yeah! [shows his license] But that's not all.
SpongeBob: You got a new boat.
Patrick: Yeah. Have you been following me? You know,
you need to get your own life. [walks off]
SpongeBob: [gets back into bed] Oh... I just need a
few minutes sleep. [foghorn alarm blows]
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob: Yes, Gary, I saw his new boat. [scene cuts
to morning where SpongeBob is leaving home to go to work] I'm so tired. [horn
honks]
Patrick: Hey, buddy. Need a ride to work?
SpongeBob: Thanks, Patrick, but I'd rather walk to
work. [tries to take a step, but falls down in the process. Scene cuts to
Patrick driving SpongeBob to the Krusty Krab]
Patrick: Boy, I never realized how empty life is
without a license.
SpongeBob: Thanks for the ride.
Patrick: No problem, buddy. You can give me rides once
you get your license. I mean, if you get your license. [SpongeBob is getting
enraged]
SpongeBob: That's it. I am through driving around with
Patrick. If I have to see one more boat mobile...
Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob, you're manning the drive-thru.
SpongeBob: When did we get a drive-thru?
Mr. Krabs: I realized there's a lot of young people on
the go these days. They don't have time to sit down and eat. They're too busy
out on the open road living their dreams.
SpongeBob: I used to have a dream.
Mr. Krabs: Yeah? I used to have a kidney stone.
Everything passes eventually. Now stop dreaming and work for a living.
SpongeBob: [through headphones] Welcome to the Krusty Krab,
may I— ["La Cucaracha" horn honks]
Patrick: The horn still works. [scene cuts to
SpongeBob switching the OPEN sign to CLOSED then walking out of work. Patrick
drives up in a racing uniform] Hey, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: What's with the helmet, Patrick?
Patrick: Well, since I'm now an expert driver, I have
to keep up my image. [clicks tongue]
SpongeBob: Uh-huh. [scene cuts to Patrick driving]
Patrick: Boy, driving is so easy.
SpongeBob: Oh?
Patrick: Do you want me to give you lessons?
SpongeBob: [sarcastic] Oh, that would be great.
Patrick: Oh! [drives over to SpongeBob's parents]
SpongeBob: Patrick!
Patrick: Hi, mommy. Hi, daddy.
Mr. SquarePants: Patrick, how many times do we have to
tell you? We're SpongeBob's mom and dad, not yours.
Patrick: What? I'm an orphan? Oh, but guess what? I
passed my driver's test.
Mrs. SquarePants: That's great, Patrick.
Patrick: SpongeBob failed his test, so don't mention
it.
Mrs. SquarePants: Oh, we know how to stay clear of
that minefield.
SpongeBob: Mom!
Patrick: Well, I've got to take Mr. Walks-a-lot back
home. He's always asking for rides.
SpongeBob: Hey! [Patrick drives off]
Mr. SquarePants: Even Patrick has a license. [both
parents sigh]
Patrick: Let's see what this baby can do. [steps on
the gas. Ride pass a sign that reads 'SPEED LIMIT 40 MPH']
SpongeBob: Patrick, the speed limit is 40mph.
Patrick: Yeah, yeah.
SpongeBob: [reads the speedometer] 40.5mph? That's
almost 41mph. He's speeding. Patrick! Stop this car. [car stops next to a
policeman]
Patrick: What? Where? Who?
SpongeBob: Officer, it is my civilian duty to report
that the driver of this vehicle is speeding. Why don't you clock him with your
radar gun?
Officer: Umm... okay. [uses radar gun. It reads 0mph]
Actually, he's going 40mph under the limit. So, move along before I run you in,
tattletale. [drives off]
SpongeBob: Are you sure you don't want to run him in?
[scene cuts to Patrick driving. Green light turns red] It's a red light,
Patrick! [Patrick runs through three red lights] Patrick, you just ran three
red lights!
Patrick: So?
SpongeBob: You're suppose to stop!
Patrick: I think the driving genius knows what he's
doing.
SpongeBob: [finally snaps] Driving genius?! Would a
genius make an illegal u-turn...through an orphanage?!
Patrick: They ran for it in time. What are you so mad
about?
SpongeBob: I should've gotten that license, and this
should be my boat mobile!
Patrick: How can you say that? If you were my friend,
you'd be happy for me getting my license!
SpongeBob: If you were my friend, you wouldn't rub
your license in my face!
Patrick: I'm not rubbing my license in your face! This
is rubbing my license in your face! [takes out license and rubs it in SpongeBob's
face--literally--which makes muffled noises]
SpongeBob: [fixes his face and then furiously snatches
Patrick's license out of his hand] Oh, give me that! I worked my whole life for
this! You don't deserve this! [furiously tears up Patrick's license then laughs
maniacally. The pieces of the license fly into the cop's hands.]
Officer: Huh, litterbugs. This is why I joined the
force. [drives off after SpongeBob & Patrick]
SpongeBob & Patrick: It's the police!
Officer: [over speaker] Pull it over, litterbug!
Patrick: Litterbug?! No! [drives faster]
Officer: Ooh, I got me a runner. [a bunch of police
cars are following him]
SpongeBob: Patrick, what do you think you're doing?
Patrick: I don't know! I don't have a license anymore.
[drives around cards, through a sign then off a cliff into the front lot of the
Bikini Bottom Jail. Scene cuts to courtroom]
Judge: 90 days. I hope you learned a valuable lesson
about littering.
Patrick: So long, buddy. Don't forget to feed Gary. [a
security guard takes him away, but he ducks his head back in] Sometimes you
forget to feed him. [ducks out of the shot]
SpongeBob: What have I done? Patrick can't survive in
prison. He's too soft. Wait! [runs up to the judge] Patrick's innocent. I tore
up Patrick's license and threw it out the window. I'm the litterbug. Take me
instead.
Judge: Well, considering there's no legal precedent...
oh, what the heck. 90 days! [a smiling SpongeBob is put in jail]
French Narrator: One debt to society later... [door
buzzes. SpongeBob is let go out of jail where Patrick is waiting for him]
SpongeBob: Patrick!
Patrick: SpongeBob! [both hug]
SpongeBob: I'm glad you passed the test. I'm glad you
have a license. And to prove it, I made you this: Pals 4 Ever. [shows him a
license plate that reads "PALS 4 EVER"] Let's put it on your boat
mobile, buddy.
Patrick: Oh, I don't have a boat mobile anymore.
SpongeBob: What?
Patrick: It stopped working so I threw it away. The
needle was on E and I figured that must mean end.
SpongeBob: Oh, then what do we do with this? [Patrick
takes it and puts it on his behind]
Patrick: How's that?
SpongeBob: Yeah!
Patrick: Ready, buddy?
SpongeBob: Ready, pal. [hops on Patrick's shoulders and makes car noises] Woo! Woo!
