Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Narrator : Ah, the sea. So fascinating, so wonderful. Here, we see Bikini Bottom, teaming with life. Home of one of my favorite creatures: Spongebob Squarepants. Yes, of course he lives in a pineapple, you silly.

• SpongeBob SquarePants : There it is. The finest eating establishment ever established for eating. The Krusty Krab, home of the Krabby Patty, with the Help Wanted sign on the front. I've waited years for this moment. I'm gonna go in there, march straight up to the manager, look at him straight in the eye, lay it on the line, and - I can't do it!

  [turns away, but is stopped by Patrick] 

  SpongeBob SquarePants : Patrick!

  Patrick : Where do you think you're going?

  SpongeBob SquarePants : I was just...

  Patrick : No, you're not. You go in there and get that job.

  SpongeBob SquarePants : No, I can't! Don't you see?

  Patrick : Who's first words were "May I take your order?"

  SpongeBob SquarePants : Mine were.

  Patrick : Who made a spatula out of toothpicks in shop class?

  SpongeBob SquarePants : I did.

  Patrick : Who's a... who... Ungh... Who's a big, yellow cube with holes?

  SpongeBob SquarePants : I am!

  Patrick : Who's ready?

  SpongeBob SquarePants : I'm ready!

  Patrick : Who's ready?

  SpongeBob SquarePants : I'm ready!

  Patrick : Who's ready?

  SpongeBob SquarePants : *I'm ready!*

• [Inside Sandy's treedome, a desperately thirsty SpongeBob is looking at a flower vase full of water] 

  SpongeBob SquarePants : [Thinking]  I don't need it. I don't need it. I definitely don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it.

  [pause] 

  SpongeBob SquarePants : [shouts]  I... need... it!

• Patrick : [enters into the dome and slams the door shut]  You can't leave now! You'll blow it!

  SpongeBob SquarePants : [hanging on the door]  Air is not good, Patrick! Air is not good!

  Patrick : You're just being shy.

  [He carries Spongebob] 

  Patrick : Don't worry, buddy. You're doing fine.

  [starts getting weak] 

  Patrick : I won't let you blow... this.

  [drops SpongeBob and crawls on the grass, panting. He coughs and sputters, then stands up screaming] 

  Patrick : WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS THIS?

  [runs toward the door and tries to open it] 

  Patrick : There's no water in here!

• SpongeBob SquarePants : What is air?

  Patrick : Huh?

  SpongeBob SquarePants : I just met this girl. She wears a hat full of... air.

  Patrick : Do you mean she puts on airs?

  SpongeBob SquarePants : I guess so.

  Patrick : That's just fancy talk. If you wanna be fancy, hold your pinky up, like this. The higher you hold it, the fancier you are.

  SpongeBob SquarePants : [Holds up pinky]  How's this?

  Patrick : Higher.

  SpongeBob SquarePants : [holds his pinky up higher]  Like this?

  Patrick : Now that's fancy! They should call you SpongeBob FancyPants.

• SpongeBob SquarePants : I'm Ready!

• SpongeBob SquarePants : Mr. Krabs, Please give me a chance. I'll prove to you that I'm fry cook material. Just ask Squidward, he'll vouch for me.

  [Mr. Krabs and Squidward step aside to confer] 

  Squidward : [Deep inhale]  No.

• SpongeBob SquarePants : Permission to come aboard, Captain!

  [He speaks in a Powerpuff Girls Narrator voice] 

  SpongeBob SquarePants : I've been training my whole life for the day I can join the Krusty Krew

  [He speaks in his normal voice] 

  SpongeBob SquarePants : And now I'm ready!

• SpongeBob SquarePants : [SpongeBob's first lines ever]  Today is the big day, Gary.
