Take it.

It’s yours.

Wha…

Take it all.

Wait…

You’re giving up?

Oh, Plankton…

I wouldn’t expect you to understand.

But somehow, without SpongeBob, this whole thing…

just doesn’t make sense anymore!

You can’t do that.

I’ve spent my entire career waiting for this moment and you roll over like a harpooned whale?

I won’t let you rob me of my vengeance!

Give my regards to your lovely wife.

Huh.

This doesn’t, uh…

feel quite as good as, uh…

Yay, I won.

Congratulations.

You have arrived at your destination.

The Lost City of Atlantic City!

It’s pretty.

Beware, young seekers.

All is distortion.

If you aren’t careful, The Lost City will draw you into her fickle embrace, blind you with her dazzling distractions and tempt you with her fleeting games of chance.

Whatever you do, don’t be led astray, don’t lose focus and don’t forget why you came here.

Don’t forget.

Good one.

Thanks, Sage-meister.

I think we got this.

Yeah, Sage.

I mean, you’ve been pretty good up until now, but,

I love Gary more than anything in the whole world!

And we came here to get him back.

Okay.

I wouldn’t worry about us losing any focus.

Oh, boy.

We got focus to burn, baby.

Whoa!

Cotton candy!

Ice cream!

Churros!

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

Yay!

Yumm!

What’s up?

Isn’t it cool how they let you trade in your real money for these little plastic circles?

I love money!

Casinos are magical.

Would you mind if I put this down, sir?

Place it wherever you like.

Just put it on L.

Patrick, that’s not an L, that’s a seven.

Seven starts with an L?

That’s weird.

Seven!

More plastic circles!

Who are you guys?

We’re your entourage.

♪ Upside, inside out ♪

♪ She’s livin’ la vida loca ♪

Place your bets.

Come on, seven!

Lucky seven!

Winner!

♪ Living la vida loca!♪

♪ Living la vida loca!♪

Seven!

Seven!

Seven!

Seven.

Seven.

Seven.

Hey, Patrick!

What’s up, Spongey-Dawg?

I lost all my money.

Me, too!

Party people!

Oh.

Where is everybody?

I feel like I swallowed a sea urchin.

Me, too.

Hey, I did swallow a sea urchin!

Well, well, well.

Sagester!

Good to see ya, pal!

Nice work, boys.

Way to take my pearls of wisdom and flush them down the toilet.

Oh, no.

Wait, did we…?

Lose focus like I told you not to?

Focus?

Huh.

Let me jangle your minds.

You came here to get back something you lost.

Uh…

Hm.

Something you love.

Gary!

Yeah, Gary.

Seriously, it’s hard enough being stuck in a tumbleweed…

Patrick, we got to find Gary!

…but dealing with you two makes me want to light myself on fire.

Sage, buddy.

Can we please look into the Window of Meanwhile one more time to see where Gary is?

No, it’s not an on-demand service.

And especially not for people who pass out and sleep in their own vomit all night.

It’s not vomit.

It’s drool.

Fortunately for you, you woke up right here.

On the steps of Poseidon’s Palace.

Whoa.

Wow.

Now get it together.

Go!

All right, Gary.

We’re coming for ya!

Boy, oh, boy.

Hey…

Almost there, Gary.

Hey, hop on!

They’re just giving these things away at the grocery store.

Good call, buddy.

Hot stuff coming through!

Get a load of this place, Patrick.

Hello.

We would like an audience with His Majesty King Poseidon.

Oh, sure.

Let me check.

Two rubes to see Poseidon.

No.

Hey, dude.

We’re the Blue Fin Group.

Of course.

Right this.

The Blue Fin Group!

No!

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

I’m Tiffany Haddock and I’m here just for the halibut.

Ha-ha-ha!

Whoo-hoo!

All right then.

Our next performers are gonna knock.

Poseidon?

We are getting an audience with the King.

Well, let’s have it.

Perform, please!

♪ Hey!

Aka Waka Maka Mia ♪

♪ Was a puffer fish ♪

♪ Being bigger than a puffer

Was his only wish ♪

♪ And so he huffed, he puffed ♪

♪ He billowed and he blew ♪

Gary!

Gary, I’m coming, buddy!

Excuse me.

Sorry.

My bad.

Whoop.

Sorry.

Whoa!

Hi, there!

Excuse me, King Poseidon, sire.

There’s been a misunderstanding about Gary.

Gary?

Gary.

Gary?

The snail that you’re rubbing all over your face right now.

Nonsense.

Besides, this snail’s name is Fred.

“Fred?

” You renamed Gary?

Fred.

Gary.

Fred!

Fred!

Gary!

Gary!

Fred!

Gary!

Fred!

Seize them!

Gary!

Gary!

But Gary loves me!

And I love him.

Yeehaw!

Incoming!

Whoa!

Good rockets.

SpongeBob?

Get yer co-pilot goggles, dude, ‘cause we’re goin’ sleddin’!

SpongeBob?

You in here?

SpongeBob?

SpongeBob!

Huh.

That’s weird.

Something’s fishy around here.

All right, what’d y’all do with SpongeBob?

We don’t know where he is, Sandy.

Hasn’t been here in days.

Don’t you play coy with me, Cephalopod.

And you, Arthropod!

Start talking.

Where is he?

Tied up in the basement?

Stuffed in your trunk?

Nay, I could never harm the lad.

His absence has taught me that much.

And I’m not just talking about the money I’m losing with him gone.

Hmm…

Okay, fifty percent talking about the money and fifty percent talking about I truly miss the boy.

Aw.

I hate to admit it, but things just aren’t the same without him.

There’s no denying it.

We need SpongeBob.

Did anyone ever stop to think that he might need us?

This is Perch Perkins coming to you from The Lost City of Atlantic City.

I’m standing on the strip outside Poseidon’s Palace and Casino, where two suspects have been taken into custody tonight… …following an attempt on the Royal Snail.

The sponge and sea star were impersonating a lounge act when they made an attempt on Poseidon’s prize mollusk.

It’s Gary!

The suspects’ vehicle was apprehended after a high-speed chase.

Mr. Krabs.

What happened to Otto?

Well, he took an automated vacation!

In a related story, Poseidon’s Palace presents a command performance, featuring the execution of the suspects in the Aqua Room this Friday night.

Execution of the suspects?

What happened to habeas swordfish?

It’s a fun-filled family event, with opening act Kelpy G.

One performance only, tickets still available.

We’ve got to go help them!

We embark immediately.

Excuse me.

Can I tag along?

Plankton?

What have you got to do with this?

I… I…

I might have had a teensy-weensy hand in a very.

Yeah, yeah, we’ll hear about it in the car.

Mr. Squidward, are ya coming?

Ha!

Fat chance.

Fat chance I’d miss a Kelpy G performance.

I’m in.

To the Pattymobile!

What, this old tub?

Never judge a Pattymobile by its bun, Squidward.

Let’s light this puppy!

Yeehaw!

Mommy!

Huh?

SpongeBob?

Are you okay?

Hey, buddy.

Sorry about this.

It’s not your fault, Patrick.

You’ve been a true friend this whole time.

Never wavered, never faltered.

It’s just…

I failed, that’s all!

And I’ll never see innocent little Gary again.

Oh, my heart is broken!

Oh, come on now.

Buck up.

It’s not over yet, SpongeBob.

It sure feels over.

And crappy.

Just saying there’s two sides to every coin.

Oh, Patrick, what does a coin have to.

Wait, did you just say “coin”?

Me?

Uh, don’t think so.

You did.

You said “coin”!

Not remembering that exactly.

Hello?

The challenge coin!

Of course!

Oh, don’t you see, Patrick?

We’re saved!

I said hello.
