Transcript
[SpongeBob is playing Happy Wheels; Patrick walks in]

SpongeBob: Hey Patrick. What's up?

Patrick: Not much. Got a new song on my iPod.

SpongeBob: What's it called?

Patrick: I think Galaxies, maybe?

SpongeBob: Have I heard of that? [goes on Wikipedia, types in search)

Patrick: Yeah, I think that's it! Wait... [reads text] What's the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster?

SpongeBob: My parents told me about that. So, because the shuttle was faulty, I think a missing ring, the shuttle blew up in the sky. Killed everyone on board. Including a teacher.

Patrick: Why was a teacher up in it?

SpongeBob: Some contest, I think.

Patrick: Wow... that's not good.

[scene changes to Bikini Bottom History Museum]

Patrick: I'm glad we won that prize drawing over at summer camp. Free tickets is always a good thing, whether it be to a museum, rollercoaster, bathroom...

SpongeBob: Ew.

Patrick: I just hope this place doesn't blow up.

SpongeBob: Patrick, this place is not going to blow up!

Patrick: Good, but you never know.

Museum Worker: Ticket, please?

SpongeBob: Here you go. [places both tickets on table]

Museum Worker: Thank you.

SpongeBob: See, Pat, this place is fine! Dinosaurs...

Patrick: They can eat me...

SpongeBob: Ancient tools...

Patrick: They can stab me...

SpongeBob: Navy airplanes...

Patrick: They can dice me...

SpongeBob: And rocketships.

Patrick: They can blow up on me.

SpongeBob: Pat, you seem to look on the negative side today.

Patrick: SpongeBob, those people went up on a shuttle and died!

SpongeBob: Yes, but things are not killing machines all by themselves. There was a faulty ring!

Patrick: What if this place has a faulty ring?

SpongeBob: Pat, it's a museum. Look, people learned how to make fire, and they used it! People learned from mistakes and learned to cook!

Patrick: What does that have to do with anything?

SpongeBob: Fire can burn you, but they learned how to keep it from doing it.

Patrick: I still don't think it's safe.

SpongeBob: Patrick, don't think at all about anyth-

Patrick: Done.

SpongeBob: Okay... well'' [looks]. Let's go talk to this guy [walks up to man]''. Hey there.

Man: Hi?

SpongeBob:  I'm SpongeBob.

Man: Thane Epstein.

SpongeBob: Thane?

Thane: Uh-oh.

SpongeBob: You're the famous inventor of time travel, aren't you?

Thane: Shhhh... keep it down, I'm incognito! Now I admit it, I'm the Thane Epstein, but I value my privacy. Now what do you want to keep quiet?

SpongeBob: [looks at Patrick] A trip to 1986.

[theme]

Thane: Fine. I've got one at my place, but it'll be a few days for it to charge.

SpongeBob: Does it work?

Thane: I have the arrow that killed Achilles in my bedroom. I've seen dinosaurs. This thing works.

SpongeBob: Well, great! So, you can just call me when it's ready. [writes phone number, hands to Thane] Just call this number.

Thane: Okay.
