MR. KRABS ( on megaphone ): Attention! Attention!
All Krusty crew employees, attention!
Get the anchors out of your pants
and report to me office!
That will be all.
I have an important announcement.
Ooh, hooray!
The new spatulas are here!
Sit down, boy!
There's no new spatulas.
How disappointing.
You men know me daughter Pearl.
She's growing up fast.
It seems like it was just yesterday
I was teaching her how to breach.
Me mammalian angel.
Um... anyway, uh,
so she's going to be working here
during her summer vacation.
She's got a lot of fresh ideas
to bring in some hungry customers.
( bell dings )
PEARL: Hello! Daddy?
There she blows!
SpongeBob, do you realize what this means?
No new spatulas?
No! It means some bratty teenager's
coming in here to tell us what to do.
We can't have that.
We have seniority, right?
Right!
So, we'll
work together
to protect our pathetic positions.
Okey-dokey, Squidward.
And then we'll get those new spatulas.
All right, men.
Say hello to me Pearl.
Hello, Pole.
Hi, guys.
It makes me jolly as a roger
to finally have you
aboard the family business.
Great, Dad.
Because I have so many new ideas.
( sniffs )
I can smell the money already.
I'll be in my office.
What's in the box?
It's a surprise.
I like surprises.
Close your eyes.
I'm ready!
Well, I like it so far.
Ta-dah!
( gasps )
It's the new Krusty crew uniform.
I designed it myself.
Okay, this is it, SpongeBob.
Now tell her how you really feel about that uniform.
Okay, Squidward.
Pearl...
this is the greatest uniform ever!
Fishpaste!
Oh, SpongeBob, you look so adorable.
I could just eat you up.
Sorry, Pearl, this item's not on the menu.
( laughing )
Well, I didn't think it was possible, SpongeBob,
but you look even more ridiculous than usual.
Don't be jealous, Uncle Squiddy.
I made one for you, too.
Don't bother!
Only a fool would wear that.
Avast ye, shipmates!
Don't these just shiver your timbers?
( laughing )
Get that suit on, sailor!
It's already been paid for.
Rage.
Fury.
Irritation.
Humiliation.
Squidward is such a barnacle.
A stick in the sand.
But not you, SpongeBob.
You are full of style.
Me? Really?
Totally, S.B.
You ooze fashion.
And I've got some completely
coral concepts for this old joint.
I'm going to need someone
with your kind of talent to help me.
Well, I have been trying to get Mr. Krabs
to make some changes.
Why, with my girlish instincts
and your, um... sponginess,
we'll turn this worn-out lunch wagon
into a teenage paradise.
SpongeBob, what do you like better...
the Kutie Krab or the Kooky Krab?
For what, dare I ask?
The new name for our new look.
I mean, "The Krusty Krab" has got to go.
Who wants to eat at a place they think is crusty?
Bleh!
Sure, it's a terrible name
but this is a terrible place.
So the name should be left alone.
Right, SpongeBob?
I got it!
How about the Khaotic Krab?
Hmm... how about the Kissy Krab?
( kissing )
The King Krab?
The Kandy Krab.
The Kool Krab.
Or the Kowboy Krab.
The Kurly Krab.
The Kreepy Krab.
The Killer Krab.
( gasps ) no.
Right, too scary.
BOTH: Hmm...
The Kuddly Krab!
( laughing )
Oh, gosh.
( laughing )
Grr...
( muttering angrily )
It's a shame old man Krab sold The Krusty Krab.
That's a darn shame.
Hey, lady!
Do you know where we can get
something to eat around here?
That's it! I quit!
Ee...
( whistle blows )
Finally!
A cool place for teens
to just, you know, hang out.
Pearl, you're a genius.
All these young, hip new customers.
Fooey on Squidward!
He can't keep up with the times.
You're a true visionary, Pearl.
Thank you, SpongeBob.
I do have 20-20 vision.
Well, hip people have to eat, too.
Back to the grill.
The customers may be hot, but my grill is hotter.
Hiss...
( bell dings )
Order up!
Two... sal-lads.
Never heard of it.
I got to stay hip.
l don't want to end up like silly old Squidward.
But what in the name of Davy Jones's locker
is a sal-lad?
Here you go!
Two sa-lads!
Eww, gross!
Those aren't salads.
Take those back.
Remove the bun, the patty
and the condiments.
But that leaves just lettuce and tomato.
Exactly.
All right.
Okay...
No buns.
That's hip.
No patties.
Happening!
Oh, yeah...
that's definitely the coolest meal I ever saw.
This is so cool...
two salads.
That was awful.
l hope I never have to tear apart
a perfectly good Krabby Patty ever again.
I don't think my heart can take it.
( screams )
Where's the grill?
Come on, SpongeBob.
You're a hip guy.
You know fried foods are o-u-t, out!
But... right on.
Check out this new menu l came up with.
Salad and tea.
But where are the Krabby Patties?
Oh, silly, those aren't hip.
Oh, you won't be needing that thing anymore.
But, but, but...
I've got something more fun for you to do anyway.
Hey, buddy, you need a ride?
I was just on my way to the big doofus convention.
( laughs )
This is humiliating.
I'm a fry cook, darn it!
You can take away my spatula
but when you take away my dignity,
that's when I get mad!
l'm going to march right into Mr. Krabs's office
and tell him this is just too much.
( grunts, groans )
( whimpers, cries )
Okay, SpongeBob.
You can do this.
Come on...
Mr. Krabs, could I talk to you?
Come on in, me boy.
Have a seat.
Thanks, Mr. Krabs.
( chair squeaks )
Don't you just love me new office?
Pearly designed it for me.
Mr. Krabs, um, I think we've got a problem.
lsn't that the neatest $40 chair you ever sat in?
( muffled ): Mr. Krabs, I've got some bad news.
How about my cuddly executive buddy?
Reduces stress for only five easy payments of $9.95.
Mr. Krabs, Pearl is ruining The Krusty Krab!
What?! Why, Pearl is saving The Krusty Krab!
I mean, The Kuddly Krab.
What would we do without these beautiful
$20 sea unicorn wall hangers?
How could we have ever survived without these $35 heart lights?
How could we go on without a sea fern on every last table?!
It's hip!
It's coral!
( crying ): It's losing money!
Oh, you're right, SpongeBob.
But I can't fire me pride and joy.
lt would break her fragile little heart.
What am I going to do?
There, there, Mr. Krabs.
I'm sure there's another way.
That's it, boy!
What's it?
You could fire her.
It's okay if she hates you.
That's not what I said, sir.
Great, then, it's all settled.
You fire Pearly.
I'll hide in me office.
Oof!
Totally rude, SpongeBob.
Pearl, could I see you in the kitchen?
Sure, SpongeBob.
How am I going to break it to her?
I've never fired anyone before.
I just got to say it.
Pearl, you're fired!
Okay, here it goes.
( inhales )
( crying )
SpongeBob!
( exhales )
I can't take it anymore.
Nothing I do is working.
Sure, it is, Pearl.
Look at all the hip young people
eating sa-lads.
No, don't you get it?
I've been trying to get fired since day one.
I was only pretending to like this place to please daddy.
This job is cutting majorly into my social life.
Oh, SpongeBob, what should I do?
I've got it!
I could pretend to fire you.
l'll take the heat from old man Krabs later.
Gosh, you'd really do that for me?
You're a great pal, SpongeBob.
How can I ever thank you?
( muffled ): Stop trying to break me in half?
Deal.
Oh, boy, oh, boy.
Okay, Pearl...
we've got to make this convincing.
Pearl, I need to have a word with you.
Oh, no, here it goes.
I don't know if I can bear to listen.
It's not that you haven't done
a good job around here...
Oh! Don't be too hard on her now.
Why does it have to be this way?
It's for the best.
Well, we feel it might be
in everybody's best interest if...
I can't let him do this.
Huh?
Get on with it, SpongeBob!
Pearl, you're fired.
Aah! Ooh!
( whispers ): Thanks, SpongeBob.
Come on, gang, the mall waits.
Hey, Mr. Krabs, I did it!
( screams )
Oh, Pearly...
( sniffs )
Is that a $20?
Oh, SpongeBob, how could we have done such a thing
to me own flesh and blood?
There, there, Mr. Krabs.
Pearl took it just fine.
In fact, she seemed kind of happy.
Really?
She's off to bigger and better things.
That's me girl!
Tough as nails, just like her old man.
( laughs )
But how am I going to get my money back
for all this stuff?
Hmm...
( rock music playing )
Hoo, yeah!
( laughing )
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
All right!
Isn't this great, Gary?
And it only cost me one year's salary.
( meows )
