''[A view of Conch Street is seen, it then zooms into Squidward's Tiki House and into his bedroom. An alarm clock then goes off and Squidward wakes up.]''

Squidward: Ah. Another day, another great life. [under breath] Hopefully without SpongeBart and Rick... [Squidward gets out of his bed] ♪La da dee, la da doo, la da dum♪ [He then goes to his bathroom and takes a shower] ♪La da dee-de, la da doo-do, la da dum. La da dee, la da doo, la da dum♪ [He goes out of his bathroom, puts his clothes and goes out of his house] Oh. ''[He realizes that he forgot his employee hat and goes back into his house to pick out the hat that’s on a table. He then goes out of his house and goes to his recumbent bicycle.]'' Hm. Maybe the day that SpongeBart isn’t here has came... [SpongeBob's alarm clock is goes off and SpongeBob is heard yawning] Or not...

''[The camera then zooms to SpongeBob's house and into his bedroom. SpongeBob is then seen walking to his bathroom, then showering and then putting on his clothes]''

SpongeBob: Morning trampoline time!

''[SpongeBob jumps onto a trampoline and Gary is seen putting bread into a toaster. The toaster then lunches out and SpongeBob eats the toasted beard mid-air. Sponge then lands besides the door.]''

SpongeBob: Great job Gary! But there is a bit of room for improvement. [Gary sighs]

[Sponge then gets his employee hat and goes out of his house]

Squidward: [Under breath] Oh boy...

[SpongeBob and Squidward walk together on a road to work]

SpongeBob: So what has been cookin'?

Squidward: Sea Chicken... [Laughs]

SpongeBob: Look! A truck! Besides the Krusty Krab!

[Squidward sighs]

SpongeBob: It says "Bikini Bottom Movers."

Squidward: Bikini Bottom Movers? It says "Bikini Bottom Movers?" [sighs] Finally, an interesting shift in ages...

[They arrive beside the Krusty Krab]

SpongeBob: Hey Krabs, what is with the truck of "Bikini Bottom Movers?"

Mr. Krabs: We're moving our restaurant to a new location!

SpongeBob: Wow! To where?

Mr. Krabs: New Kelp City!

Squidward: What? New Kelp City? More like New Rotten Kelp City! The crime rate there is insane, the sanitation rating there is in the negatives and the people there are rotten!

Mr. Krabs: Well there is an economic boom happing there!

Squidward: But- [Squidward gets an idea] If I Krabs to fire me, then... SpongeBart will be... out... of... my life! That means... SpongeBob will be out of my life! [Shows Squidward on a chair in the sun] I could finally get my golden, calamari tan on without Bob. And with that Pat will come no matter what! [Shows Squidward playing his clarinet] I could finally play my love in peace! [Shows Squidward playing his clarinet on a stage and a lot of people there are cheering him] And becoming a clarinet legend! [Shows Squidward with his clarinet on a cover of a magazine issue] And be on the cover of my favorite magazine! [Goes back in the world and he looks at Mr. Krabs] Krabs... can you please fire me.

Mr. Krabs: Oh heck no! Your my second best employee!

Squidward: [Quietly] No? [He deflates until he is flat on the ground]

Mr. Krabs: But that's not saying much... But don't worry, it will be an adventure!

Squidward: In a trashy, crime-filled city? Well I'm quitting anyway!

Mr. Krabs: But you can't quit until you take off your hat!

Squidward: Ha, ha. That trick won't change anything! [He tries to take the employee hat off, but it seem like it is glued on his head] Ugh! I can't take it off, it seems like it is glue on! [Krabs quickly hides a bottle of glue behind his back]

Mr. Krabs: Me crew, go with me to me office! [Sponge and Squid go to his office at the empty KK] We need someone to disassemble this empty, [Sniffs like he is about to cry] customerless, cashless... money-maker into pieces! So it can be put into the moving and go to its new location!

Squidward: Krabs, can you just build another one there and hire new employees there, [under breath] with the exception of SpongeBart, so I don't have to move?

Mr. Krabs: But that is payin' more money to build another money maker and double the paychecks to pay!

SpongeBob: How about we work at both locations!

Squidward: How about not.

Mr. Krabs: So, who can disassemble the Krusty Krab so it can go to New Cash City!

Squidward: [sighs] More like New Trash City.

SpongeBob: I can!

Mr. Krabs: With what?

SpongeBob: The ancient arts of Karate!

Mr. Krabs: [talking to himself] Uh. I thought Karate was the art of to be used to make money. Anyway, disassemble way!

SpongeBob: Follow me! [Krabs and Squid follow him to outside of the KK] Watch and learn. [He karate chops the KK and nothing happens]

[Squidward sighs and he starts to read a magazine]

Mr. Krabs: Are you sure tha-? [A crumbling sound is heard as suddenly the KK collapses and a cloud of dust covers the screen]

[Squidward and Krabs cough in the dust and when it clears out, Krabs gasps in amazement]

Mr. Krabs: [He goes right up to him] Teach me Karate!

SpongeBob: Not now, Krabs...

[Bubble transition]

[Squidward is seen trying to carry his own work station]

Squidward: Krabs? ''[Mr. Krabs is seen sitting on a rock, drinking some coffee]'' Krabs! Why do I have to carry these heavy things without your help?

Mr. Krabs: Because you're employees, the workers of my restaurant that I control.

Squidward: Ugh... [talking to himself] I shouldn't of applied here...

SpongeBob: Squid! Look!

Squidward: What now, Spong...

[Sees SpongeBob balancing his grill on his Spatula, on his nose]

Squidward: But ho-o-o-o-ooo-wwwww! [Squidward loses his balance and his work station crushes him]

SpongeBob: Now with the grill taken care of, I just have to take that grease cooker thing and I'm done!

Squidward: What? You got all 30 things done? In 10 minutes? I hadn't even gotten my work station halfway to the truck!

SpongeBob: You know I "own" a lot of stuff here and you just "own" that?

Squidward: I "own" my station less then your things that have the lowest ownership level here. Anyway, I have to also put entire bathroom and the safe to the truck.

SpongeBob: I don't get the first half, [Squidward sighs] but I can help you!

Mr. Krabs: No, no, boy. He needs to get upper arm strength, he can't even climb out of a well!

Squidward: Hey! I was with those dumbbells!

Patrick: [Pat seen on another rock] I still don't get it.

Squidward: What? Pat? What are you doing here? I didn't even mean it as a joke!
