Ah, zee Gal Pals,

Bikini Bottom's premier
ladies league.

Today, we find them sharing
their special skills

with one another.

Gimme a G! Gimme an A!
Gimme an L!

Gimme a P-A-L-S!

What does it spell?

[all groan] Gal Pals...

That cheerleading technique

may be a little too advanced
for us, Pearl.

[groans]

Then, upload the eggs,
and voila!

My famous holographic meatloaf!

-[fork scrapes]
-[holograph whirs]

[munching]

Well? What do you think?

That was delicious,

and, uh... not too filling.

It certainly has a light flavor!

[whispers]
We should've brought snacks.

And what are you sharing
with us, Mrs. Puff?

Here's an easy way
to start your boat.

Just in case you happen to...
[chuckles] ...lose your keys.

[boat engine rumbling]

Now I know what to do
when Daddy hides the boat keys!

Hi-yah!

If'n y'all thought
that was cool,

wait till you see
my karate demonstration.

Squirrel style!

[chitters]

Uh, my servos
are not built for combat.

I'm a teacher, not a fighter.

Oh, I'm too delicate
for martial arts.

[gulps]

[belches loudly]

[laughs]

Oh yeah?

This here move
might change your mind.

-Hi-yah!
-Whoa!

Nice parking job!

-Impressive!
-I totally wanna learn karate!

Now do as I do, and remember,
give it all your gumption!

'Fraid there ain't much more
I can teach you.

In fact, y'all are
such great students,

I'm awardin' you
my ultimate acorn belt!

Oh, so fuzzy! [chuckles]

-[gasps] Thank you!
-I-I may need a smaller size.

[all] Squirrel Style!

See you next week, Gal Pals!

Daddy! I'm home! [laughs]

[Mr. Krabs] I'm up here,
Pearly girl!

Are you kidding?
Thanks to karate,

I am the best cheerleader

Hi, Sandy.

I know we're supposed
to practice karate tonight,

but my driving lesson
really took a lot out of me.

Gosh, SpongeBob. I'm sorry.

Ever since I gave
the Gal Pals karate lessons,

they've all gone tae kwon dodo!

Hmm, well, if teaching them
karate caused the problem,

why don't you just un-teach it?

Well, that would be the dumbest
suggestion ever

if'n I hadn't already invented
a reverse karate matrix

that does exactly that!

Step one: Zero in on Puff,
Pearl, and Karen's brains.

[beeping]

Wow! Can I help?

Why, sure!

All you gotta do
is twist that dial,

pull this here lever,
flip those switches,

press that pedal,
and push this little button.

Do that a hundred times.
In that order!

I'm... ready?

Now all I have to do is perform
all my karate moves in reverse!

Push that button,
press that pedal,

push that lever.
