Transcript
(the short opens with SpongeBob - or “FryCookDaBest” going on Discord)

SpongeBob: Ah! I can’t wait for another fun-filled short to begin!

Locknloaded23: oh my this has ruined my day

Purple133: the man who made my childhood is gone

FryCookDaBest: What do you mean? The ice cream lady’s gone missing?

GraniteToast1992: No, SpongeBob, it’s worse than that.

PolarTem: It’s, um…

GraniteToast1992: You know Stephen Hillenburg? The guy who was diagnosed with ALS last year. I don’t wanna be the one to tell you this, and I don’t really know how to but… he’s dead.

SpongeBot678: ALS?

GraniteToast1992: It’s a really bad medical condition, Bot. Many people had it. Such as Stephen Hawking and Stephen Hillenburg. Hillenburg is like the most recent person to die from ALS.

DedodatedWumbo: WHAT? GOD’S DEAD?

FryCookDaBest: THIS CAN’T BE TRUE!

PolarTem: Oh no, I guess Stephen was basically God to you guys…

FryCookDaBest: HE MADE US!

Purple133: I’m like bummed out…

(CrazySponge has arrived. Party’s over!)

CrazySponge: Hey guys! How’s it hanging?

FryCookDaBest: HILLENBURG’S DEAD!

CrazySponge: WHAT-

DedodatedWumbo: The ugly barnacle got him…

CrazySponge: THIS CAN’T BE TRUE! I FEEL LIKE CRYING RIGHT NOW!

SBCA: WE ALL DO!

CrazySponge: I’n cryubg si hrd mu keyvpard isn’t wrking properky!

PolarTem: Reminds of that scene in the first film, when they’re lying in Shell City about to dry up.

Locknloaded23: stop it you’re making it worse for me

PolarTem: sorry

FryCookDaBest: Remember all the good times we’ve had, Pat? It was all because of one man - and now he’s dead. Remember when you helped me become a fry cook?

DedodatedWumbo: And when you got me that really neat Valentine’s Day gift?

FryCookDaBest: And when you, Squidward and I went jellyfishing?

DedodatedWumbo: And the camping trip with the sea-bears?

FryCookDaBest: And the time where we spent the night in a Toy Stor-

GraniteToast1992: OK! We get the point.

FryCookDaBest: Oh, we must’ve gotten too deep into our happy memories. Sorry!

GraniteToast1992: Lock’s probably flooded with tears right now.

PolarTem: Anyway, how will we memorialize Stephen?

CrazySponge: (The Keyboard has dried, so the words are normal again) I’m glad you asked. You see, we will dedicate the next episode (The Leaky Patty) to Mr. Hillenburg.

Everyone except GraniteToast1992: That sounds like a great idea!

GraniteToast1992: Wait, why don’t we dedicate this short to him

CrazySponge: OK, we’ll dedicate BOTH the episode and this short to him.

GraniteToast1992: Thanks!
