 * [short begins with SpongeBob, sitting on a couch next to Harold SquarePants; both of them are looking at at family pictures]


 * SpongeBob: Ooh! [points to a picture of himself as a toddler, holding a spatula] A picture of me flipping my first Krabby Patty.


 * Harold: Yep. [sighs in remembrance] Best dinner I've ever had, SpongeBob. Fact.


 * Margaret: [stops at arch with laundry basket in hand] Best dinner? Don't you like my cooking, Harold?


 * Harold: [turns page] Hey. There's me throwing up after eating the Margaret Surprise. [basket of laundry falls on his head]


 * SpongeBob: [points to picture] Hey, who's this? And why does he have on a war uniform?


 * Harold: [takes clothes off head] That, SpongeBob, is your great-grandfather, Robert Edward SquarePants.


 * SpongeBob: Was he famous?


 * Harold: Oh, a great deal back in his time.


 * SpongeBob: What did he do?


 * Harold: He is one of the best war veterans in Bikini Bottom.


 * Margaret: [walks in] Precisely. He once took out fifteen members of the opposing team in a single afternoon.


 * SpongeBob: Really? [holds cheeks] Wow, he sounded like a great guy.


 * Harold: He was. A great granddad, he was. I always saw him during holidays and on New Years. [sighs] He was the best grandfather a fella could have.


 * SpongeBob: Where is he now dad?


 * Harold: Well, sadly, he perished in the war. He would have been fifty-two that following week.


 * SpongeBob: Ah. [stands up and points finger in air] We should celebrate his greatness!


 * Harold: We will tomorrow, SpongeBob. [walks to calender] Tomorrow will be Memorial Day, and that is when we celebrate fallen soldiers who fought in the war. [writes "Memorial Day" on calender on number "27"] Tomorrow will be the day to give back thanks to him.


 * Margaret: Oh, like what thanks? You mean the thanks to your granddad about bringing you back war treaties because my mother also could not cook?


 * Harold: Don't start with me, Margaret. [all of the group begin laughing]


 * [short ends with a camera shot of the picture of Robert E. SquarePants; the camera then appears with text that reads "Happy Memorial Day!"]
