Patrick?
Oh, Patrick!
Are you ready to go jelly fishing?
( creaking )
Oh, boy, am I!
Here's your net.
Well, come on, Patrick.
The jellyfish don't catch themselves.
First, I have to put away my secret box.
Secret box?
You never told me about your...
secret box.
Hey! Hands off, Peeping Bob.
This here's my secret box.
Besides, if I showed you what was inside,
it wouldn't be a secret anymore.
Duh!
( creaking )
( laughing )
Oh, SpongeBob!
If only you could see inside my secret box,
it would change your life.
It's okay, Patrick, I know all about secrets.
You do?
I've got a gazillion secrets.
Like what?
Well, it's no secret that the best thing about a secret
is secretly telling someone your secret,
thereby secretly adding another secret
to their secret collection of secrets... secretly.
( electrical buzzing )
You want to hear one of my secrets? Do I?!
Uh... let's see.
Did you know you're my best friend?
No... way.
Oh, let's hear another one!
Okay. Uh... secretly, I'm a little bit naive.
Wow.
l'll never look at you the same way again, SpongeBob.
Gosh!
( clears throat )
Tell me some more secrets!
Okay...
l love my job at The Krusty Krab.
I sleep with my shoes on.
l like jelly on both sides of my toast.
l've got an overdue library book.
l think jelly fishing and bubble blowing are the...
...overbite.
I've never been late for work.
I've said the word "fancy" in conversation.
l like to dance to loading zone announcements.
l still don't have my driver's license.
l'm a little on the short side
and I'm wearing three pairs of underwear right now.
Gasp.
I never would have guessed.
Now, will you show me what's inside your secret box?
No, SpongeBob!
lt's for me to know, and for you to never find out!
You may be an open book, SpongeBob,
but I'm a bit more complicated than that.
The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma.
Oh, yeah?! Well, I got plenty of secret stuff, too!
Uh...
I've got my secret socks on.
( panting )
And my secret Gary's bowl.
( grunting )
My secret TV
and my secret TV channel.
( test tone )
What do you think of that, Patrick?
( chuckling )
( guffawing )
( gasping for air )
Whew!
( laughing harder )
( laughing hysterically )
( gasping )
Oh, whew!
Maybe if you saw what was inside,
you'd know why it has to be secret.
Inside this very box is the most secrety secret
in all of Secretdom, and I am its sole witness!
It's a heavy burden, SpongeBob,
but nobody must know the mystery of the box.
Nobody!
( knees knocking )
Not even... Squidward's house.
It's a full-time job.
I'm constantly on the alert.
You never know when someone's gonna...
( gasps )
( jabbering )
( grunts )
SpongeBob, what do you think you're doing?!
That's my secret box!
Now hand it over!
But, Patrick, I must know the secret.
For the last time, SpongeBob, no!
Come on, just a peek.
( grunting ): Never!
( grunting )
( pop ) ( gasps )
So, it's come to this.
And to think we joined the Best Friends Forever Club!
( tinkling )
( grunts )
Listen up, SpongeBob "Secret Stealer" Pants!
If you ever come near my secret box again,
we won't be friends anymore!
But... we're supposed to be... friends forever.
( giggling )
( laughing )
( laughter continues )
( still laughing )
( muffled laughter )
( sniffles )
I feel so filthy.
I have soiled our friendship garden.
( sobbing ): I just couldn't help myself.
I know it's your secret.
I promise to respect that.
Oh, please forgive me, Patrick, please!
Well...
( squishy noises )
I guess it's not all your fault.
After all, this is a pretty great secret.
I mean, how could you resist
the greatest secret ever?!
The most amazing...
mysterious...
powerful secret in all of Bikini Bottom?
So, what do you say, buddy?
Friends?
Friends.
SPONGEBOB: What could be in that box
that Patrick doesn't want me to see?
Maybe it's the world's only albino jellyfish
or maybe Patrick's a master jewel thief
and it's full of diamonds.
Or maybe Patrick's a deranged maniac
who keeps his victims' severed heads in a box.
Or even worse,
maybe it's an embarrassing snapshot of me
from a Christmas party.
( shrieking )
l got to find out what's in that secret box.
I'm not going to rest till I do!
That's it.
How do you look into a secret box?
Secretly, of course.
I'll just take the box while Patrick's sleeping
look inside,
and before Patrick
even has time to notice,
I'll slide it back.
Patrick won't know
and I'll have my own little secret.
Good idea, eh, Gary?
Mmm... No.
SPONGEBOB: Oh, what do you know?
You're a snail.
( snoring )
( snorting )
Snizzlefrazzy!
( snoring )
( cracking )
Who's it?!
( snoring )
Se-e-ecret.
SPONGEBOB (thinking): I got to be more quiet.
I don't want to wake Patrick up.
( squeaking )
( thunk )
( gasps )
( yawning )
( groaning )
( snoring )
( metallic squeak )
( creaking )
( snorts )
( yawns and groans )
( snoring )
( creaking )
( loud thud )
Duh! Who's there?!
( snoring ): Who's... Who's...
Oh...
Shh!
( metallic groan )
( glass shattering )
Hey!
( jabbering )
Oh...
( snoring )
( loud splash )
Mmm... water.
( snoring )
( creaking )
( loud thud )
( snoring )
( creaking and clonking )
( creaking )
( groaning softly )
( snoring )
( buzzing )
( crash )
( snoring )
Good old secret box.
Let's see what's inside.
( laughing )
Nighty-night, boxie.
( loud, continued racket )
( glass shattering )
( racket continuing )
( whizzing )
( snoring )
Gee, Patrick sure is a heavy sleeper.
Huh? Who said that?
Who's there?!
Uh...
It's the clam burglar!
And he's stealing my secret box!
Hand over the goods, secret-box bandit
and prepare for the most unpleasant
pillow fight of your life!
( gun cocking )
Wait, wait, wait, Patrick. Stop!
It's me, SpongeBob!
Nice try, burglar.
But SpongeBob's my best friend and he'd never steal from me.
No, really, Patrick. Look.
( gasps )
♪ It's the Best Friends Forever ♪
♪ Best Friends Forever Ring! ♪
Our friendship ring.
It is you!
( sobbing ): How could you do this?
If it makes you feel any better,
I haven't looked inside.
That's it, SpongeBob.
You have crossed the line.
As of right now, this friendship is over!
Really?
Nah, you can look inside if you really want to.
Okay!
Oh, this is one of the most
exciting moments of my life.
Well, here it goes.
Huh?
Well? Didn't I tell you?
Isn't it great?
It's just a string.
A secret string!
Boy, when you're right, you're right.
That's some secret box you got there.
Yeah. Thanks for showing me that.
Well, good night, Patrick.
See you tomorrow.
Good night, SpongeBob.
I should have known
it was just a piece of string all along.
( cackles )
Wait till I tell Gary.
( laughing )
Good thing he didn't pull the secret string,
opening the secret compartment
of my secret box,
revealing one embarrassing snapshot of SpongeBob
at that Christmas party.
( Patrick laughing )
Merry Christmas, SpongeBob!
( laughter )
