[piccolo playing]

[yawns]

Oh, Neptune, surely this isn't

the behavior befitting a king,

hiding in bed for days on end,

doing nothing but watching

daytime television.

Wait! Rochelle was just about

to meet her biological parents!

Is this about turning

five thousand today?

No. Oh, my darling Amphitrite,

it is not my age

that troubles me so.

It is that our son, Triton,

will not be able to share

in my revelry.

Let's forget about Triton

for just one day.

It's your five thousandth

birthday, for shell's sake.

Yeah. OK, so long as there's

no-one careless enough

to mention Triton.

Order up, Squidward!

I bet you're wondering why

I'm not using my hands today.

-Not in the least, SpongeBob.

-OK, OK, I'll tell ya.

Your order, ma'am.

I'm not using my hands

because today

is Work Without Your Hands Day.

You should give it a whirl,

buddy.

[phone rings]

Krusty Krab, SpongeBob speaking.

Just a minute, please.

Mr. Krabs?

It's a "Queen Amphitrite."

She wants to have King Neptune's

birthday party here.

Oh, she does, does she?

I'll handle this, laddy.

Yes, "Queen Amphitrite."

Very convincing. But you'll

have to call pretty early

to fool old Eugene Krabs,

prankster!

They think I was born yesterday.

Ack, ack, ack, ack, ack! Whoa!

Does seven o'clock work for you,

Your Majesty?

Oil up yer spatula, boy,

for tonight, you fry for a king!

So much for Work Without

Your Hands Day, SquarePants.

You answer to a higher calling

this day. I have the capability!

OK, that's enough, Patrick.

Thank you.

You two really out-did

yourselves!

It almost makes me want

to pay you. [laughs]

It looks like this area could

use a few more decorations.

-Squidward!

-Now what?

The decorations over here

are looking a little sparse.

Why don't you hang up

a few balloons or something?

Oh, that's better. Looks lovely,

Squidward. Excellent work.

-How goes it over here?

-All set, Mr. K.

Five thousand patties. One for

every year Neptune's been alive.

Five thousand patties

at . a pop.

[blabbers] Forty nundred n...

bubble able buhney...

Leave it to your old boss, here,

to capitalize on such

a momentous occasion.

Wow! Why, you rolled out

the red carpet.

This ain't for you lot!

This is for King Neptune!

Today is his birthday.

Oh, wait a minute.

King Neptune is coming here?

Oh, I'm a huge fan

of the royal family.

I just love everything they do.

Oh, could we please

maybe watch them eat,

right here, through the window,

you know?

Don't be ridiculous.

Why in Neptune's name

would I let you...

See Neptune eat!

Only five dollars!

Only a few seats left!

Thank you. Thank you.

Do you have change for a twenty?

Nope, sorry.

I guess it's $ for you, then.

Don't be shy, folks.

Seats are going fast!

[all gasping]

[horses neighing]

Greetings, my obedient flock.

[all cheer]

You were right, honey.

Hearing these mortals

cheer for me

has made me feel better already.

Excuse me,

Mr. Royal Sea King-ness.

Your table is this way, sir.

These seats are

surprisingly comfortable

for being no more than

primitive storage vessels.

Oh, husband, I'm so glad to see

you're enjoying

your birthday party.

And I am glad that you're glad,

my dear.

And I'm glad that you're glad

that I'm glad, my king.

And I'm glad that you're glad

that I'm glad

-that you're glad that...

-[all] All right already!

And methinks

I shall continue to enjoy it

so long as there continues

to be no mention of the name...

Triton! Triton! Tri-ton!

Is there a Triton here?

Is there anybody missing

from this party

that any of you guys can see?

Nope, there's nobody missing.

We're all here!

Oh, I was sure

there's somebody. Oh!

Oh!

Here it is right here.

An empty seat.

That's not an empty seat!

My wife is sitting there!

[laughs] No, not that chair,

Your Highness!

That one! See?

It even has its pretty name card

that I made still on it.

-Oh, no!

-T-R-I-T-O-N.

You sure you don't know anyone

named Triton?

[sobs]

Should I put it down, yes or no?

Triton is our son.

But as you can see,

the king doesn't want

to talk about it right now.

Thank you, my darling.

I'd rather not share

with this addled mortal

the woeful story of our son,

Triton.

Oh, that's a good thing, yeah.

You don't want to go there.

But I suppose I could tell it.

[all] No! No! Really, it's OK!

No, you're right.

I won't tell it.

Phew! Good!

Instead, I'm going to show

this mm movie I made about it.

[grumbling]

Could someone please

dim the lights?

It all started one day

while giving Triton

his smiting lessons.

That's how you strike fear into

the hearts of your subjects.

Now you try, son.

Son?

Triton was increasingly

fascinated

with the miserable world

of the lowly mortals.

Dad, when are you gonna teach me

the ball and stick game?

Never.

Now, take hold of your trident

and practice your smiting, son.

I don't feel like smiting.

I wanna play

the ball and stick game.

OK, son, you wanna learn

the stick and ball game?

Well, here's your first lesson.

Batter up.

[all exclaim]

It looks like I just hit

a single.

Let's see if you can get

a home run, son.

Leave me alone, Dad.

What was happening

to my own flesh and blood?

Over the next few millennia,

my son grew not only in size

but in perplexing behavior.

What's going on in here?

Hey, Dad. Check it out!

I'm studying chemistry,

and I've just created a cure

for all mortal diseases!

Nyaa! How many times do I have

to tell you, we are gods!

We don't have diseases,

nor do we care whether or not

the mortals contract them!

Gosh!

Try as I might, it was becoming

increasingly apparent

that we would not agree

on the ways of the world.

I knew I had no choice.

There was only one last resort.

No, not that one!

The island in the sky.

Isn't that island

a miniature golf course?

No! The one on the other side

of the river!

You mean the juvenile

correction facility?

But that place is for losers,

man.

Uh-huh.

OK, I'm standing in here.

Now what?

What are you doing?

This is bogus!

I'm sealing you inside

this magical shrinking cage

until you learn to embrace

your destiny

as one of the gods!

No!

You call THAT shrinking?

Well, it only shrinks %.

Man, that is just beyond bogus.

Perhaps in your eyes

it is beyond bogus,

but it's the only way

you'll learn.

Reflect on this

for , years.

You can't do this, man!

I've got a life to live!

I can't be stuck in this cage,

man!

Gah. I hate you, old man!

You hear me? I hate you!

-[voice echoing]

-No!

And that's that.

[snoring]

Huh? OK, who's ready

for a pipin' hot Krabby Patty?

Would you like the first one,

Your Highness?

Recounting this sad tale

has upset me so much

I've lost my appetite.

[sobs]

Take those sandwiches away.

Can't you see the king is upset?

It's OK. Let it out.

This is a rip off!

I paid to watch high-class

royal dining action,

not listen to

a boring sob story.

Ooh, looks like things may be

picking up. Royal v*olence!

Why have you not obeyed me,

mortal? Be gone!

So, who's gonna pay for these,

then?

If Neptune doesn't cheer up

soon, me business is ruined!

Oh, no. This is all my fault

because I mentioned Triton.

Well, it wouldn't be the first

time you've ruined everything,

but the worst part is those

, Krabby Patties

that will end up going rotten

in the hot sun.

Stop, Squidward, please stop!

Your descriptions

are too horrifying

for my delicate sensibilities.

I do have a way with words.

Oh, how I miss my son!

[sobs]

Hey, that's it! I'll fix this by

reuniting Neptune with his son!

Thanks again, Mr. Bus Driver!

Now, all I've got to do is find

King Neptune's long lost son.

[sobs]

C'mon, Krabs, think! Think!

Ooh!

Whatever it is, no.

Squidward,

you're a man of culture.

Go on.

Well, these high-falutin' types,

they might appreciate that,

don't you think?

Why don't you try

and razzle-dazzle them

with all your pizzazz?

Pizzazz.

Hold on to your hats

and glasses, people,

because Squidward

the Fantabulous has arrived!

Thank you, thank you.

This next one I wrote myself.

I like to call it

"Three Barnacles are a Crowd

Unless They've Known Each Other

for a Really Long Time."

[plays clarinet]

Things just got lame again.

Yeah, well, they better

get unlame real quick

or I'm asking for my money back.

No refunds?!

Well, I guess we're stuck here,

then.

[snores]

Argh! What the...?

I had the strangest dream

that I just got hit in the head

with a tiny toenail clipping.

Hey! I was right!

It is a tiny toenail clipping.

[gasps] Another one!

Plus some rope!

Hey, man! What's the big idea?

Who said that? Show yourself!

I'm warning you,

I know how to use these. Waah!

-I'm down here, man.

-Oh, hello, little fella!

Maybe you can help me, because

if I don't find Triton soon,

Mr. Krabs is gonna be

real upset,

cos he spent a lot of money

on party decorations.

-Party decorations? For what?

-For King Neptune's birthday!

So, it's my old man's birthday.

Big deal.

Oh!

You mean...

you're King Neptune's son?


I am.

But he doesn't seem to think so.

Well, he sure seemed upset

that you weren't at his party.

Ha! That's a real good one, man.

Real funny.

[chuckles] Well, thanks,

but I was just...

Do you think if that old goat

really cared

he'd have me sealed up here

in this magical cage

with nothing to do all day

but trim my fingernails?

You're right.

It just doesn't make any sense.

You're telling me, man.

I mean, gods shouldn't have to

use nail clippers.

They should be able

to will their fingernails

to whatever length they want.

Man, you're just like

all the rest.

Don't go!

What if I there was a way to

free you from this magical cage?

Then you could come

to your father's birthday

and settle your differences!

Then I'd ask you to brush

your teeth first, dude! Pee-yew!

Sorry, I haven't had anything

to drink in a couple days.

My throat's a little dry.

[coughs]

This cage is only so big, man.

I'm sorry.

I'll stop talking, I swear.

Never mind. Just undo the lock.

Boy, this really does look

complicated. Oh, I see.

I'll just slide this square

to the right, this one goes up,

this one over here... No, wait.

No. No. No!

Argh!

Man, that really is

a tough nut to cr*ck.

That lock was forged

by the gods!

Not just any numbskull

can open it

like it's some cheap bag

of potato chips

they found in the street.

Cheap bag of potato chi...

Wait a minute! Which way to

the nearest phone booth?

There's one behind

that rock over there,

but I don't see what...

-Hello, Patrick?

-Hey! Hey!

You'll never guess what I found

today in the street...

Yeah, I'll hurry.

Oh, Patrick, you made it!

This is that magical lock

I was telling you about.

-Hmm.

-Yeah, I tried it

for hours and hours,

but I just can't get it to...

-Open!

-Wow, already?

Patrick, I'll never figure out

how you're able to do those.

It's easy. I just peel

the stickers off the squares

and put 'em down

where they're supposed to go.

Amazing!

Well, now that

this silly old cage is open,

what do you say

we go pay my old man a visit?

Hate to keep him waiting

on his birthday.

Well, you guys comin' or what?

Wow!

Are you gonna take us

for a ride?

A ride! That's a great idea!

[snoring]

[both exclaim]

[tires screech]

You guys don't mind if I pull

over here for a second, do ya?

Sure, Triton. What do you need

to do, use the bathroom?

No, to tell you

I don't need you any more!

What an interesting man!

Ready for a room temperature

Krabby Patty yet?

-Nope.

-[groans]

Careful.

This is made of imported wood.

Imported all the way

from that junk pile out back.

Neptune's inconsolable.

Maybe if there was something

to distract him from his pain.

The only thing that can usually

do that is something that hurts

more than the original pain.

Great idea!

Go play them another song!

He's back.

Oh. Uh, how... nice?

If it pleases the king,

I would like to perform a...

[car horn]

-What the?!

-Behold!

What'd he say?

I think he wants us

to look out the... Oh, my!

[all cheer]

That was incredible!

Yeah, definitely worth

the five bucks.

Son?

Son, I demand to know

the meaning

of this impudent imprisonment!

Well, it turns out

you were right, old man.

Being trapped in that cage all

those years with nowhere to go

but up in here

made me realize something.

Dabbling in the world of

mere mortals is totally lame.

And this is how you

intend to show it?

No, man! This is how.

Ha, ha, ha!

By flying through the roof?

That was Triton, Neptune's son.

I thought he was in

reform school or something.

Hey! Can I have an autograph?

Sure you can.

[all screaming]

[screams]

Nothing can stop me! [laughs]

What's happened here?

Hello?

Where is everybody?

Do you think maybe Triton

was in that cage for a reason?

The Krusty Krab!

-It's still standing!

-But look!

That mail hasn't

been picked up today.

You're right.

We'd better use

the secret entrance.

-Be very, very quiet.

-Gotcha, pal.

[clattering]

What?

Please! I'll be ruined!

Don't worry, Mr. Krabs.

No-one was going to pay

for them anyway.

[sobs]

Oh, this is terrible!

Tell me about it!

I never get free food here.

Son, hear my words.

I can understand

if you want to keep me locked up

in this cage and zap me,

but see it in your heart

to release these others,

for they are innocent.

Well, maybe not all of them.

Sorry, old man. You lost me

at the "hear my words" part.

He's unstoppable.

Only as long as King Neptune

is locked up.

Are you thinking

what I'm thinking?

Yeah. Triple goo-berry sundaes

tonight after we free them?

No, but I like your idea better.

Make ready the disguise.

OK, now!

No! Please! No more!

Quick, Patrick!

Unlock it before he sees us!

You got it! Urgh!

SpongeBob,

scootch back a little.

Excuse me. OK, got it!

You better hurry it up, Patrick.

He's getting bored.

Don't rush me! OK, got it!

[zapping]

[chuckles]

I was just kidding, man!

No! No, please!

I never meant to.

Son, I have tried all my life

to be gentle.

But this time you have...

Are you responsible

for all this destruction?

Don't send me back to the cage,

man! I-I...

The cage?!

Why, son, you've just given me

the best five thousandth

birthday present

I've ever received!

You've finally learned

to use your god powers.

Now I know that when

my reign comes to a close,

I will have a worthy successor!

And that's really all

I could ever hope for as a king,

and as your father!

Come here, you!

Aw, Dad, I love you, man.

Huzzah!

-Yay!

-[whistles] Whoo-hoo! Yeah!

-Hooray!

-Whoo-hoo!

Celebrate!

Now let's go home, son.

Toodle-oo!

[all cheering]

Neptune and friends, wait!

What about the party!

What about me restaurant?

Ah, yes!

Many thanks, whoever you are!

It was the best birthday

I could ever have hoped for.

And it's all because of

your little employee there.

None of this would have happened

if it wasn't for his actions.

Did you hear that? Neptune said

this was all because of me!

-Well, SpongeBob, that's...

-Did you hear that?

Neptune said this was

all because of that guy!

He did, did he?

-Uh, SpongeBob?

-Yes, Patrick?

Do you think right now

might be a good time

to go get those triple goo-berry

sundaes you were talking about?

I think right now might

be an excellent time.
