 * SpongeBob: It looks like...[camera cuts to reveal a large building] a building.
 * Mr. Krabs: Where did it come from?
 * SpongeBob: I think from...[points up] that place where all those weird animals and sand is.
 * Sandy: [walks up] It's called land. This structure is from up there. But how in clam shells did it get all of the way down here?
 * SpongeBob: [shrugs shoulders] Who knows? [touches wall] It's so...hard.
 * Mr. Krabs: And mine. [camera pans to top of building; sticks flag with Krabby Patty symbol on it into roof] It would make a great second restaurant to celebrate fifty years of the Krabby Patty. [suddenly is caught in net and taken off roof]

 * Mr. Krabs: [grabs Plankton] That can be arranged!
 * SpongeBob: [steps between Plankton and Mr. Krabs] Whoa now. Hang on there, gents. Let's not do anything we might regret.
 * Plankton: Oh, I'll regret it when I...
 * SpongeBob: Come on, Mr. Krabs. Let Plankton take the restaurant. You let those people tear it to shreds when we let them eat those patties.
 * Plankton: [hops onto roof] Wait, what?
 * Mr. Krabs: Shhh shhh. [brings SpongeBob to opposite side of building; whispering] Boy. This is the perfect opportunity the Krusty Krab may never get again that you're passing up. [places finger on SpongeBob's belly]
