( go-go music playing on TV )
( meows )
Gary!
Uh, uh, I was just looking
for the sports channel, Gary.
( knock on door )
Come in!
Hey, SpongeBob, want to see my new shoes?
Wow! Those are great, Patrick!
Let's see what they look like on your feet.
Uh... wouldn't you rather see them on... my hands?
Okay...
And we can wear gloves on our feet
and hats on our captain's quarters, too.
Uh, actually...
I have a confession to make.
I don't know how to tie my shoelaces.
( laughs )
Do you know how lucky you are
to have a friend like me?
Yes...
Look at this knot.
Have you ever seen a more perfectly executed
shoe-fastening bow?
Gosh... probably not.
I learned when I was just a boy, Patrick
and I'm willing to pass on what I know.
Go sit over there
and let an old pro show you how to do it.
Pay close attention, Patrick.
Well, you start by taking one lace per hand...
and then you...
uh... you got to...
loop the, the...
Are you sure you know how to do it?
Patrick, please, shoe-tying requires peace and quiet.
Okay, where was I?
Your shoes are still untied.
Well, I guess you don't want me to show you how to do it.
l'm sorry! I won't interrupt anymore!
I've got it!
The first rule of shoe-tying is
"always start with your right foot."
Now the lesson will officially begin.
( laughs nervously )
That's... not right.
( laughs nervously )
Get it?
Knot... right... hmm...
No.
Okay, no more fooling around.
I got it!
( laughs nervously )
What was that?
Are you okay, SpongeBob?
Patrick, aren't you late for something?
The poop deck, you're right!
We'll have to do this lesson later!
Bye, SpongeBob!
I can't believe I've forgotten how to tie my own shoes.
They've been tied for as long as I can remember.
Well, I'll remember after a good night's sleep.
( crickets chirping )
( rooster crows )
( snoring )
( foghorn blows )
Oh...
No big deal.
I'll remember sooner or later.
'Cause I'm ready!
I'm...
read... y.
I'm read... ooh!
I'm read... uh!
I'm read... ooy!
I'm read... doy! I'm read... doy!
I'm read... duh!
I'm read... doy!
I'm read... duh!
I'm read... doy!
Hi, SpongeBob.
( gasps ) Oh, no!
I can't let Patrick see
I still haven't tied my shoes!
( loud crashes )
Hey, SpongeBob...
you're shorter.
Have you been dieting?
Well, a sponge has to look his spongiest.
Well, I got to get to work.
( cracking )
( grunting )
Oh, barnacles!
Maybe I should just lay here.
Those patties aren't going to
cook themselves, SpongeBob.
He's right!
Got to make Krabby Patties!
Laces or no laces!
( grunting... )
Ah... I just have to stand in this one spot.
Ta-da! A perfect patty.
All right, SpongeBob, hand it over.
Well?
( gulps )
( gasps )
( grunting... )
Hey, Squidward, I've got an idea.
How about you come get it?
Oh, gee, SpongeBob, that's a great idea.
And maybe I should cook the patties
and do the dishes
and wear square pants
and live in a pineapple
while you wait in the unemployment line!
No!
Then bring that patty here
now!
Okay, Squidward.
Here I come.
I'm coming over.
I'm bringing the patty to you.
Here comes the patty.
No problem.
l'm walking... the Krabby Patty...
over to Squidward.
All right, Squidward.
I'm giving you the patty...
for the hungry customer...
so they can eat it...
when I give it to you...
which is right... now.
Uh, SpongeBob?
I'm over here!
Now move!
Okay, Squidward.
Just slowly move your leg.
Walk over there...
with the... dah!
SpongeBob!
I'm sorry, Squidward.
Sponge... Bob...
I'll just make another... doy!
Sponge...!
Hold it... doy!
Let me just... duh!
Hold it... sorry, Squid.
Sorry... Oh...
( grunting and gulping )
What's the holdup?
( loud burp )
I think my heart just stopped.
( all yelling angrily )
It's Sponge... ( loud burp )... Bob's fault.
SpongeBob's fault... SpongeBob's fault...
( sniffling )
I failed.
My career is over.
I'm sorry, spatula.
I'm sorry, hat.
I'm sorry, floor.
I am sorry, Krabby Patties.
( crying )
Let's see, a five-letter word for happiness.
"Money." ( laughs )
This is the worst service we've ever had.
We're going to the Chum Bucket!
Wait!
Don't go!
Oh, yeah, we are definitely out of here.
( all yelling angrily )
Wait, don't go!
That's me money walking out the door!
What's the meaning of this, Mr. Squidward?
It's SpongeBob's fault.
Arr... SpongeBob, get out here!
More...
All the way, boy!
What be the matter, SpongeBob?
I ought to make you walk the plank for this.
I'm sorry, Mr. Krabs, it's just that I...
I...
Yes?
I... I... I, I, I, I...
Yes, yes, yes?
I, I, I...
Out with it, boy! What is it?
I forgot how to tie my shoes.
( laughs )
That's all?
So you'll show me how?
I don't wear shoes.
( gasps )
Could you show me
how to tie my shoes?
Uh, fins?
Could you show me how to tie my shoes?
Well, I would, but, sadly, l am only an eel.
( panting )
Could any of you show me how to tie my laces?
Could you, you, you, you, you or you show me how to tie a knot?
Could you show me how to tie a simple knot?
( roars )
Could you show me how to tie my shoes?
Arr... I be just a painting of a head.
Doesn't anybody know how to tie a knot...?!
( thunder booms )
( evil laughter )
Did somebody say knot?
I did.
So, you want to tie knots, do ya?
Well, do ya?!
Yes, please, Mr. Flying Dutchman, sir.
Then you've come to the right flying ghost, kid.
You're looking at the first place winner
in the fancy knotting contest for the last 3,000 years!
Hooray!
You're gonna have to not do that.
And stop staring at me with them big old eyes.
Now, stand back and watch me be knotty.
( laughs )
Behold! The pretzel knot!
Ooh...
The double diamond knot!
The square knot!
The constrictor!
The gut knot!
The pillow knot!
( snoring )
The butterfly knot.
Ooh...
Wait, there's more!
The monkey chain!
The monkey's fist!
The monkey!
( hooting )
This one here's a loop knot
otherwise known as the... poop loop.
Poop?
( laughs )
Those are great, Mr. Flying Dutchman, sir.
Now can you show me how to tie my shoes?
( laughs )
I don't know how to tie me shoes.
I haven't worn shoes for over 5,000 years!
But sometimes I like to wear this little sock
over me ghostly tail.
( laughing, thunder booming )
( groaning )
( meows )
Not now, Gary.
( meows )
I'm not in the mood, Gary.
( meows )
Just leave me and my untied shoes alone, Gary.
( roars )
Okay, Gary, you have my attention.
( meows )
( wet slapping )
( gasps )
Gary!
Well, I'll be!
You can tie shoes!
Hopping clams!
