Plot: Don't cross the boss...
Chapter I: Workers Compensation? Ar Ar Ar Ar Ar!
Spongebob wakes up one morning and undergoes his morning ritual of barfing out Snail-Po and hitting the plush weights before getting dressed for work. He still remembers the brief conversation he had with Mr. Krabs the day before about a, what Krabs called, "a promotion." Spongebob gleefully strutted to the streets as he usually does on the way to work almost every morning.
Spongebob: I'm ready! PROMOTION! I'm ready! PROMOTION!
From within the confines of the Krusty Krab, Eugene H. Krabs, the restaurant's sole proprietor, lies in wait as the playful sponge makes his way inside. Mr. Squidward is already there, working double-overtime as he usually does, working the register whilst "reading" the latest issue of Playsquid. Spongebob enters the establishment and grabs his hat off the once-there-and-gone-again hat rack.
Spongebob: Well, back to the ole grind!
Mr. Krabs: Grrrrrr, SPONGEBOB GET OUT HERE!
Spongebob: Yes, Mr. Krabs?
Mr. Krabs: Alright lad, remember the terms of that "promotion" we parleyed about yesterday?
Spongebob: A PROMO, A PROMO, A PROMOTION?!
Mr. Krabs: Stay with me here, boy! Spongebob, ye be the best fry cook I ever had on me payroll. Ye should consider yerself to be lucky I even pay you at all. It was a tough decision on me part, but between ye and Mr. Squidward, I had no choice.
Spongebob: Mr. Krabs, I. Am. Honored! To help usher in a whole new era in the history of the Krusty Krab!
Mr. Krabs: Don't get to ahead of yerself, boy. We still have to...trim the fat.
Spongebob: Trim the fat, sir? But what about the Krabby Patties?
Mr. Krabs: Not the patties, boy! "Administratively" speaking.
Spongebob: I'm not quite following your lead here, sir.
Mr. Krabs. Grrrrrr, it's Mr. Squidward. He's threatening me with a lawsuit if I don't provide him with some workers comp. Can ye believe it?! That no good eel in the coral wants me to pay for his mistake!
Spongebob: *gasps* We should be paying you!
Mr. Krabs: Aye, lad! This lawsuit could ruin me and me restaurant! Which is why I want to "deal" with Squidward now.
Spongebob: Right now?
Mr. Krabs: Yes, right nooooow. The fate of the Krusty Krab is at stake! I need you to send him into me office, lad. I'll take care of business there.
Spongebob: Aye aye, Mr. Krabs.
Mr. Krabs heads into his office as Spongebob approaches Squidward.
Spongebob: Yoo hoooo, Squidward!
Squidward, not amused, put his Playsquid down before flashing his "I Really Wish I Weren't Here" button.
Squidward: What is it now, Spongebob? That crustaceous cheapskate has me working double-overtime with a sprained tentacle.
Spongebob: About that, Mr. Krabs wants to discuss some business with you in his office.
Squidward: I knew Eugene would come around sooner or later. Out of the way, Spongebob. I have history to make.
Squidward strolls on over to Mr. Krab's office with a big smile on his face. He shuts the door behind him as Spongebob tries to listen in from the kitchen window, flipping those patties to nonchalantly cover his eavesdropping. All that could be heard was a brief yelp and a "SPLAT" before the office fell into dead silence. Mr. Krabs exits his office, letting out a loud of sigh of relief.
Mr. Krabs: Aaaahhh, the deed is done.
Krabs takes a slightly bloody Krusty Krew hat out of his pocket and places it on Spongebob's head alongside the hat he is currently wearing.
Mr. Krabs: How does Head Fry Cook and Cashier sound, Mr. Squarepants?
Spongebob: I don't know what to say! I'm speechless! But what happened to Squidward?
Mr. Krabs: He went out...to...run some errands. Ar Ar Ar Ar Ar Ar!
Krabs casually strolled back into his office, still laughing as he does so, leaving Spongebob to take in the excitement his promotion has brought him. Krabs would later stuff something into the freezer, and business went on as usual.
