Scene number: 8
Scene name: Nuts for Walnuts
Squidward walked into his house.
Squidward: Hm, shouldn't let this get me down. I finally have a day all to myself. No Krusty krab. No music lessons. Just me, me, me. (pause) I think I'll watch TV.
He sat down on the couch. He turned on the TV to see a man climbing up a ladder. Suddenly, the man turned into SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: (waving) Hi, Squidward!
Squidward: Aag!
He changed the channel to now see Kelpy G. from
The Thing performing. His head turned into SpongeBob's.
SpongeBob's head: Hey there, Squidney Bo-Beanie!
Squidward: What's going on?!
*changes the channel - a clown juggling*
Squidward: Hmm. That's better, I guess.
*clown throws all the balls in the air and turns into SpongeBob wearing a clown's outfit*
SpongeBob: Squidward! Looking good, you handsome devil! (catches the balls with his nose)
*Squidward changes the channel to a weather forcast*
Forecaster: We're seeing a 100% chance... *turns into Spongebob with a pointer* ...of Squidney Bo-Beanie! *weather map changes to an image of Squidward*
Squidward: AAH‼ He's everywhere!
He rapidly started changing channels, but SpongeBob kept appearing until he finally popped out of the TV ala Gel-arshie.
SpongeBob: Squidward! Squidward!
His image started circling around the room in a swirly hallucination.
Squidward: Get away from me, demon beast!
SpongeBob: (voice echoing deeply as he circles around) Squidward! Squidward! Give me a hug!
Squidward: Make it stop! MAKE IT STOP‼
The hallucination eventually faded away, revealing SpongeBob standing in front of the TV.
SpongeBob: Squidward, it's me. SpongeBob.
Squidward: SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: That's right. So, how ya been doin'? Must be kind of bored, huh? Boy, without the Krusty Krab, I'd probably go crazy!
Squidward: Right. Crazy, yeah. Heh-heh. So... (shakes his head) What are you doing in my house anyway? I thought you promised to leave me alone!
SpongeBob: Leave you alone? :P
Squidward: (slumping back in his chair) Oh, maybe I
am going crazy.
SpongeBob: Well, Squidney Bo-Beanie, I just came to tell you that now that you don't work at the KK anymore, you and I can spend more time together at home!
Squidward: I would rather die!
*"!" ding*
SpongeBob: So, Squidward, what do you wanna play first? (holds up some jacks) Maybe some jacks? (holds up a bowling ball) Extreme jacks?
Squidward: NO‼
He kicked SpongeBob into the wall.
SpongeBob: Ooh! How about marbles?! (pops out and runs over to Squidward; hands him some purple marbles) Here, you get all the purple marbles! ... No, wait. If you get all the purple marbles, that means you also get two of my orange marbles, but then again, if you take some orange marbles on the first turn, I get some of your green marbles, but that means Patrick will also get five of my red marbles. OK, how about this! You get all the blue marbles, and then that means that you get...[sup]1[/sup]
Squidward: (tosses the marbles at SpongeBob) NO‼ I don't wanna play jacks, or extreme jacks, OR YOUR STUPID VERSION OF MARBLES‼
His shouting started to loosen a small object in SpongeBob's ear.
Squidward: Now go home and never bother me again! Is that clear?!
He slapped SpongeBob in the head, causing the small brown object in his ear to pop out and land on the floor.
Squidward: What's that?
SpongeBob: (picks it up) Hey, it's Wally!
Squidward: WallE?
SpongeBob: Wally! My pet walnut from the 2nd grade! Dahaha! So that's where he's been all these years! (puts Wally in his pocket) Funny thing. Wally always kept me from being able to hear all those grouchy people with their grouchy voices!
Squidward: Wait a minute... Are you telling me that all these years, a stupid walnut was the only thing that kept you from listening to me?!
SpongeBob: Yup.
Squidward: (sigh) So, SpongeBob, can you hear me now?
SpongeBob: Yes, sir! And may I just say, your voice is so soothing, Squidward.
Squidward: Thanks. Now, there's something I'd like to get off my chest. Something that I've wanted to get off my chest for the two years that I have known you.
SpongeBob: Talk away, Mr. Smooth Voice.
Squidward took a deep breath.
Squidward: YOU ARE THE WORST NEIGHBOR IT HAS EVER BEEN MY MISFORTUNE TO KNOW‼
SpongeBob: (shocked) Huh?
Squidward: (as SpongeBob is backing away) All thse years, I've just wanted peace! Not to partake in your stupid childish games! I've never liked you, SpongeBob! Or Patrick! Or Stevie! OR MY JOB AT THE KRUSTY KRAB‼ (SpongeBob is exiting the door at this point) You've always been bothering me! Annoying me! TORMENTING ME‼
IF I DIDN'T LIVE NEXT TO YOU, THIS WOULD BE A HAPPY PLACE‼ AND ABOVE THAT... (deep breath)
I HAAAAAAAAAAATE YOOOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!
He slammed the door so hard that cracks formed on the side of the wall.
SpongeBob was deeply heartbroken.
SpongeBob: Squidney Bo-Beanie? Gosh. (snifflling) Squidward, I.. I never meant to... I always thought you... Wow. (walking away) What kind of person am I? All these years, I've been pushing Squidward off the edge, and (crying) I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT‼
He buried his face in hsi hands crying as he walked down the road.
*BTTNS*
