And where there is jellyfish,
there is the jellyfish hunter.

Hey, buddy, what
the heck is that?
Why, this is a hole, good sir.
You see, I am a sponge,
and we typically…
Not that, that!
It’s just
a little old crabby patty
smothered in jellyfish jelly.
I call it a “crabby patty
with jellyfish jelly.”
Could I try some?
Sure!
Amazing!
I’ve got to tell
someone about this.

SpongeBob?!
J E L L Y
Who’s playing Squidward’s
records again?!
No one, Mr. Krabs.
I was just sharing my jellyfish
jelly with the customers.
J E L L Y
ALL:
Mmm…
Oh, this is great.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Here, Mr. Krabs,
send your taste buds
on a journey.
Messin’ with the patty’s
formula… that’s mutiny!
Why, I ought to…
Sir, this is
the greatest thing
I’ve ever eaten.
I’m going to come
back here for lunch
every day for the rest
of my life.

Hey, buddy, you all right?
( stuttering )
You okay, Mr. K.?
SpongeBob, I got a
proposition for you:
How’s about
you go catch me
some of those
little money fish?
Oh, boy, getting paid
to jelly-fish,
that’s my life’s dream.
Well, keep dreamin’--
this’ll be on your time.
Aye, aye, sir!
Now, go get me some jellyfish
and make it…
( jellyfish humming )
…quick.
Uh… SpongeBob,
we’re going
to need more
than one
puny jellyfish.
But, sir, how many
jellyfish do you need?
SpongeBob, we have
a whole ecosystem
full of hungry
payin’ customers.
Oh, no! Don’t tell me…
you’ve stopped carin’
for the customers.
( screams )
No, never.
Then go out there
and get me
some more jellies!
Okay, Mr. Krabs.
Just make sure
the jellyfish
are comfortable;
they are,
oh, so sensitive.
Ooh, I’ll keep them
comfortable all right…
inside me wallet.

Uh, uh, a wrong number.
Aah, I guess Gary forgot
to pay the electric bill.
( laughs nervously )
( door clanking )
Gary, is that you?
Gary?!
Uh, yeah, good idea, Gary.
There’s probably some candles
in the kitchen.
Hello… what’s this?
How did you get in here,
oh, delicious one?
A little snack
will calm my nerves.
Mmm, a crabby patty
with blue jelly.
( gasps )
Blue jelly?!
( yells )
Hello, No-name,
what’s happening?
( laughs nervously )
No-name, let me out.
What are you going
to do with me?
P-U, what smells
like big business?
Hey, I don’t remember
that factory.

Huh?
Oh, what is
this horrible place?!
MECHANICAL VOICE:
Kitchy-kitchy-koo.
What kind of monster
is responsible for this horror?
That’s it, boys, keep that
gelatinous gold a-flowin’.
( chortles )
Mr. Krabs?
No.
Now I know why
you brought me here.
But what can we do?
( music playing )
SPONGEBOB:
Mr. Krabs?
Stops this madness!
Stop it right now!
Uh, uh… this isn’t what it
looks like, SpongeBob.
Why, uh, we’re just, uh, uh,
having a little tea party.
Oh, boy, a tea party.
You tricked me, Mr. Krabs.
I wouldn’t have collected
all those jellyfish
had I known that
this was their fate.
This isn’t right!
Jellyfish need wide,
open space and fresh air.
Easy, boy, what are you doin’
with that?
Something that should
have been done a long time ago.
No!
The squeaky bolt on this door
was driving me crazy.
Whew.
And now I’m going
to set these jellyfish free!
( straining )
( chortling )
Well, you can’t-- the door
is voice-activated
and it will only open
if I say “open.”

Blasted exercise craze.
( screaming )
( screaming )
Good-bye, friends.
I’m taking jelly off the menu.
He really got burned
on that deal.
( laughs )
All is as it should be.
I promise never to use this net
for anything
but pure sport again.
Jellyfish aren’t meant to be
captured forever.
Oh, No-name…
I guess I can name you now.
I’ll call you… Friend.
