Everybody in the whole wide world,

It's all about me, me... and guess who?
Me!
( crowd gasps )
Oh, oh!
Neptune's Trousers!
Morning, Daddy.
Are you sure you wouldn't prefer a room on the ground floor?
Oh, Daddy.
I'm just excited because
tomorrow's a very special day.
( gulps ) lt is?
Oh, I mean, it is!
Very special!
Very, very special, indeed!
You have no idea what day tomorrow is, do you?
None at all.
It's my
16th birthday!
I knew that.
How could you think I wouldn't know that?
What are you going to be, 12?
I'm going to be 16!
It's only the most important birthday in my entire life.
If I don't have a completely awesome party,
my whole high school reputation will collapse.
I'll have to drop out, I won't go off to college,
I'll never leave home.
You'll have to support me for the rest of my life.
( gasps )
Well, we don't want that to happen.
Then promise me you'll give me a real party this year.
And don't be cheap.
( school bell ringing )
Hi, girls.
Hi, Pearl.
Are you guys coming to my totally coral
birthday party tomorrow?
I don't know, Pearl.
Is this going to be as totally coral
as last year,
when your dad passed out paper clips as party favors?
( laughing )
JUDY: Remember the time we all had
to share one balloon?
Please.
Remember the pony ride?
l can't wait to see how he ruins this year.
( laughing )
( sobbing )
Daddy! Uh-oh. ( rumbling )
Everybody brace for impact!
Tell me you've got something totally coral
planned for my birthday party.
Now, now, don't snap your mizzenmast.
Everything is all set.
Why, I've already got the party favors...
bubble wrap.
This year's gonna be a blast.
Daddy, you ruined all my birthday parties.
But you better not ruin this one.
Now promise me you won't be cheap.
( gulps ) I promise.
Good. Because I made a list.
Now, I want everything on this list at my party.
Bye.
I'll be at the mall with my friends.
SpongeBob!
Yes, Mr. Krabs?
While I plan the party, I want you to buy Pearl's present.
Here you go, boy.
What's this, Mr. Krabs? It's me credit card.
You use it instead of money.
l can buy stuff with just this piece of plastic?
I don't need money?
Exactly.
Wow.
Now remember,
nothing's too good for me little Pearl.
I wanted to give her nothing,
( mocking tone ): but she's too good for that.
Now follow her around and see what she likes.
You know, do some detective work.
Detective work... I'm going undercover.
PEARL: So that's when Marcie told me
that Julie said that Angela did like Brad.
Oh.
Angela likes Brad.
PEARL: Oh, my gosh,
this is the greatest thing I have seen in the whole world.
I'd like to buy that piece of plastic with this piece of plastic.
Mr. Krabs, huh?
Quick... how do you spell "Krabs"?
Um... I'm pretty sure it has a "B" in it.
Close enough.
There you go, kid. That's it?
I'll never understand the workings of high finance.
Wow, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen
in the whole world.
Glitter gloss.
Oh, no, I bought the wrong present.
JUDY: Pearl, you have got to see this.
Coming, Judy.
Oh... hmm...
Huh?
Now, this is obviously the greatest present ever.
( Pearl squealing )
This is the greatest thing in the whole world!
( sighs )
The banner's up,
Mr. Krabs.
l've had that since the day she was born.
( sniffles ): I got it on sale.
SQUIDWARD: I'm sure she'll love it, Mr. Krabs.
This sea pony is the cutest thing ever.
Do you want to come home and be my pony?
Wee!
( groans )
JUDY: Pearl, come here.
This is so coral.
( sighs )
Oh, my gosh, it's Billy Fishkin.
ALL: Hi, Billy.
Meep.
( all sighing )
Isn't he dreamy?
( scanner beeps )
Price check on four.
Meep.
I finished Pearl's portrait, Mr. Krabs.
It's a true masterpiece.
Hey... maybe I should have hired that ice sculptor.
Ice sculptor?
Any fool can sculpt in ice.
It takes true genius to transform 400 pounds
of raw Krabby Patties into a work
of such majesty.
Yeah.
Well, we've got the decor covered.
Now how about entertainment?
Pearl wants some boy band called Boys Who Cry.
Boys Who Cry? They're my favorite band.
They charge a million dollars just to show up.
lf you want them to lip-sync, it'll run into real money.
You're a real fan, huh?
Oh, yeah, I know all their songs.
Hmm... all their songs?
Wouldn't it be cool if my dad got me this
for my birthday?
It sure would be, if he was cool.
Which he's not. ( all laughing )
Yeah, he probably got me another box of staples.
It's almost time for the party to start.
I'm back, Mr. Krabs.
SpongeBob, what took you so long?
And where's Pearl's present?
The delivery truck will be here momentarily.
Here she comes, Mr. Krabs.
Everybody get in position.
ALL: Happy Birthday!
JUDY: "It's a boy"?!
( laughing )
Daddy!
( gagging and coughing )
Stale popcorn.
It tastes like dishwater.
It is dishwater.
( gagging and coughing )
Is that supposed to be me?
lt's made out of Krabby Patties. Gross!
Who wants cake?
Well, the cake does look good.
It's made out
of cardboard.
And frosting.
Well, Pearl, 16 lame parties in a row.
Must be a new record.
Let's get out of here.
Wait. Don't leave.
My dad got Boys Who Cry to play.
You did get Boys Who Cry, right?
Ooh, even better, sweetie.
Hit it.
( R & B music plays )
Hello, ladies.
♪ When my tear ducts give issue ♪
♪ I can't use just any tissue ♪
♪ I need four-ply, four-ply, four-ply when I cry, huh! ♪
Hey, that is not Boys Who Cry.
JUDY: Yeah.
Boo! What a rip-off. This stinks!
Daddy, how could you?
I... gave... you... a... list.
( sobbing )
Pearl, come back.
You ruined everything.
You couldn't stop being cheap, even for me.
( crying )
I'll make it up to you somehow, Pearl.
That's it. Back it up.
Right there.
Let 'er go.
You bought me a boat?
I did?
I mean... I did?!
ALL: Wow.
Oh, Daddy, I don't know
how it could get better than this.
Just watch.
Hit it, boys.

( smooching )
Aw, nothing's too good for me daughter.
You're a good dad, Mr. Krabs.
KRABS: Don't push your luck, boy.
