Episode Transcript: Sleepy Time
Mrs. Puff: (takes his licence and tears it up) Not even in your dreams, Mr. SquarePants!
SpongeBob: No! (flies through the dream cloud and on SpongeBobโs real bed) Ouch! Where am I? (walks and looks up to his real self) Is that me? Or is this me? Am I still dreaming?
Gary: Meow. (snoring) Meow.
SpongeBob: (walks up to Gary's dream cloud) This must be Gary's dream. I'm gonna get a closer look. (jumps into the dream cloud and falls to the ground) Whoa! Wow. Look at all these books. I wonder where Gary is. Gary! Huh? (walks up to Gary reading a book) Excuse me, sir. Have you seen...? (Gary turns around)
Gary: SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: Gary?
Gary: How dare you invade the sanctity of my dreams?
SpongeBob: Gary! You can talk!
Gary: (sighs) In dreams, one is not tethered by earthly limitations.
SpongeBob: What does that mean?
Gary: Come. For ages, dreams have been thought of as windows to another realm. (picks up a book and reads from it) "Let me not mar that perfect dream by an aurora stain, but so adjust my daily night that it may come again." Emily Dickinson wrote that.
SpongeBob: Who?
Gary: (flips a few pages) Here's one you might know. (clears throat) There once was a man from Peru who dreamed he was eating his shoe. He woke with a fright in the middle of the night to find that his dream had come true.
SpongeBob: (laughs) Gee Gary, you sure are smart.
Gary: Did you think my shell was full of not air?
SpongeBob: Well, thanks for the info, Gary. I'm going back to my own dream now.
Gary: Beware of your wandering eye, you little poriferan!
SpongeBob: (jumps out of Gary's dream cloud and hops up onto his alarm clock to get into his own; sees Patrick's dream cloud outside the window) I wonder what Patrick's dreaming. (Patrick is stuck to the bottom of his rock, sucking his thumb and snoring; SpongeBob runs over) I can't resist! (laughs and jumps in; inside, he opens a door; everything is white, and there is no scenery, just Patrick rocking back and forth on a 25ยข kiddie ride) Hey Patrick!
Patrick: Hi SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: (walks over) You know Patrick, this is a dream. You can do anything you want.
Patrick: Yup.
SpongeBob: I mean anything! Watch. I can turn into a skyscraper. (transforms into the shape of a skyscraper) Going up! Eh? (sees that Patrick is unresponsive; looks dull) I can make... a million of me! (changes back to his normal shape and size, this time with a million copies of himself) Eh? Eh? (the clones disappear) Ah, tartar sauce. I'm going to a different dream. (leaves)
Patrick: Okay. Bye SpongeBob. (kiddie ride comes to a halt; Patrick reaches into his pocket and pulls out another quarter and goes to put it in the slot, but accidentally drops it and it rolls away) Oh!!! (the quarter falls into a grate) Shoot, that was my last quarter. (sits on the ride with a dull gaze; meanwhile, SpongeBob hops out of the dream cloud and starts to walk down the block; he stops below Squidward's dream cloud)
SpongeBob Ooh, this is gonna be good! (sucks in air and floats up into the cloud; inside, Squidward is playing clarinet in front of an applauding crowd; he has a powdered wig on his head) Psst! Squidward! (waving in the audience; Squidward stops playing) Hey, Squidward!
Squidward: SpongeBob!
(everyone cheers)
Squidward: (bows) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. (a few audience members run up and grab SpongeBob and push Squidward out of the way) What is this instrument that produces such lovely sound?
SpongeBob: (turns back to normal and runs away while audience chases him) So long, Squidward! (audience members chase after SpongeBob pushing Squidward into a fruit barrel thing. SpongeBob runs out the door and lands on the top of the tree dome) Hey! I'm at Sandy's! (Sandy sleeping in her tree and SpongeBob jumps in her dream cloud and opens a plane door) Aw, this looks neat! I wonder...(falls out of the plane) Ahh!
Sandy: (surfs up on a glide board to SpongeBob) Hey SpongeBob, what brings you here?
SpongeBob: Hey Sandy! What's going on?
Sandy: (turns upside down) Well, we're free-falling from 114,000 feet, and we're gonna land on that itty-bitty target. (a target is shown on the ground and SpongeBob and Sandy spins around)
SpongeBob: This seems kind of dangerous!
Sandy: Not as long as you've got a big old parachute!
SpongeBob: Okay! (gives her a thumbs-up; both his shoes inflate)
Sandy: Not pair of shoes, SpongeBob, parachute!
Pearl: Hello, SpongeBob! (sits at a table with a green rabbit and a brown teddy bear, she pours some tea into the bear's cup)
SpongeBob: (waves) Oh, Pearl. This is your dream.
Pearl: You're just in time for the tea party!
SpongeBob: Actually, I was looking for your dad's dream.
Pearl: Oh. He's next door. (shakes head in disappointment) Boys don't understand the sophistication of tea parties. Right, Mr. Stuffy?
SpongeBob: Bye! (gets out of Pearl's dream and goes over to Mr. Krabs) I bet Mr. Krabs' dream will be more robust. (peeks in the cloud and just floats on his backside in the large ocean until he hits Mr. Krabs boat)
Mr. Krabs: (pulls the dollar out of the water and heaves it into the wallet) I did it! (gets excited) I finally did it!
SpongeBob: Congratulations, Mr. Krabs. (puts down the wallet and wants to shake hands with Mr. Krabs but when he tries the wallet bounces toward the back of the boat); the wallet bounces away)
Mr. Krabs: No, SpongeBob! Don't let it go!
SpongeBob: Huh?
Mr. Krabs: Get it, SpongeBob! Get it! Get it! Get it! Get it! Get it! (SpongeBob chases after it, but it hops off the back end of the boat)
SpongeBob: Hey! Hey! I...!
Mr. Krabs: No! (the dollar jumps in the lagoon and swims away)
SpongeBob: This'll make a make a great story, eh Mr. Krabs?
Mr. Krabs: Oh SpongeBob...
SpongeBob: Yes, Mr. Krabs?
Mr. Krabs: (throws a rope around him) You're fired! (fires some sort of a plunger inside it to which the rope is attached)
SpongeBob: Ahh!!!!!!!! (gets shot out of the dream cloud and into Plankton's dream on a building) Ooh! Must be Plankton's dream. Hey, Plankton's dreaming about Bikini Bottom.
Plankton: Zap! (zaps a building near SpongeBob and fish come running out) I see you. (stomps up to another building, twenty times the size of his normal self) Zap! (shoots a green laser out of his eye) Fish: My leg!
Plankton: I see you. Zap!
SpongeBob: Plankton! (tries to get himself untied from the rope around his ankle)
Plankton: I see you...(SpongeBob gets untied and drops to the ground) Zap! (zaps and disintegrates the building that SpongeBob was on then walks to the Krusty Krab) Oh look, it's the Krusty Krab, home of the Krabby Patty. (steps on it) Crush! (picks up the Krusty Krab sign and starts to kick it while walking away)
SpongeBob: This isn't a dream, this is a nightmare!
Gary: Meow!
SpongeBob: (stops and looks) Gary! Gary! No!
Gary: Meow! (Plankton still coming towards Gary making giant step sounds)
Plankton: Here kitty, kitty, kitty.
SpongeBob: Gary!!! (jumps for Gary) I've got you, Gary!
Plankton: Peek-a-boo, here comes my foot! (steps on SpongeBob and Gary) Huh? (lifts his foot from paฤฑn) Yow!!!
SpongeBob: (looking like a thumbtack) I think he's got the point. (laughs)
Plankton: (as Plankton's voice gets higher and higher until he goes back to his normal size) Whoa! (three burnt fish walk up to Plankton looking mad) Well, I guess I've got some explaining to do, huh? (fish on left lifts his foot about to stomp on Plankton) No! No! No! Not the face! (gets stepped on gets squished. Wakes up screaming and his dream cloud pops, making dream SpongeBob fall out and plops on the ground)
SpongeBob: Ooh! (SpongeBob walks home into his own dream cloud where his real self is still sleepฤฑng) Ah, that was fun and all, but it's good to be back in my own dream cloud. (goes to sleepฤฑng) Ah....(wakes up after hearing his friends voices and faces hovering around his head)
Squidward: SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: Huh?
Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob!
Sandy: SpongeBob!
Squidward: SpongeBob!
Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: What do you want from me? Leave me alone! (wakes up from Squidward shaking him) No! No, no, no, no!
Squidward: SpongeBob! (wakes SpongeBob up)
SpongeBob: Ahh!! (friends stand around his bed, except Patrick came late) What are you all doing in your pyjamas? Are we having a slumber party?
Squidward: No. We are not having a slumber party!
Sandy: Do us all a favour SpongeBob, and stay out of our dreams! (everyone agrees)
Patrick: [walks in] Does anyone have a quarter?
