F.U.N.

F is for friends who do stuff together

U is for you and me,

N is for anywhere and anytime at all

Down here in the deep blue sea

F is for fire that burns down the whole town,

U is for uranium...bombs!

N is for no survivors,

When you...

Plankton! Those things aren't what fun is all about! Now, do it like this!

F is for friends who do stuff....

Never! That's completely idiotic!

Here, let me help you.

F is for friends who do stuff together

U is for you and me, try it!

N is for anywhere and anytime at all

Down here in the deep blue sea

Wait.

I don't understand this.

I feel all tingly inside! Should we stop?

No, that's how you're supposed to feel!

Well, I like it! Let's do it again!

Okay!

F is for frolic, through all the flowers

U is for Ukulele,

N is for nose picking, sharing gum and sand licking

Here with my best buddy

(now they both laugh in tune)

[edit] Plot

Mr. Krabs's pictures of SpongeBob and Plankton.

Things are going well at the Krusty Krab. Everyone is enjoying their Krabby Patties, until an alarm blares. Everyone is panicking, and Mr. Krabs shouts to Squidward "Can you spot him?"

Squidward, looking through a telescope, replies "down there sir!" A small Krabby Patty mysteriously bounces to a wall, then makes a hole in it with a laser. It goes outside, and SpongeBob chases after it. After a long chase, SpongeBob finally catches the Krabby Patty, which is actually Plankton. Plankton walks off looking really sad, and SpongeBob befriends him. A police fish makes SpongeBob 'Rookie of the day', and everyone sings 'For he's a jolly good rookie'. SpongeBob invites Plankton to jellyfish with him, and, realising he can take advantage of SpongeBob, Plankton goes. SpongeBob warns Plankton to "watch out for the stingers". As soon as he says this, Plankton imagines himself controlling a giant jellyfish shooting laser-like electricity everywhere. Plankton doesn't know what fun is, so SpongeBob tries to explain it by singing the F.U.N. song. Plankton makes up a version of his own, but SpongeBob interrupts him, claiming that "those things aren't what fun is all about!". Eventually, Plankton and SpongeBob sing the song together, and Plankton seems to finally be having fun. He is feeling all tingly inside and asks SpongeBob "Can we stop?" SpongeBob explains that this is how "fun" is supposed to feel. Plankton realizes that he likes the feeling, and the two sing the F.U.N. song 2. When Mr. Krabs finds out what's happening, he sets up a trap. They go to the cinema together, and Mr. Krabs shouts "reach into his pocket now and take what he's got!". Everyone reaches into each other's pockets and finds money. SpongeBob reaches into Plankton's pocket and finds a Krabby Patty. SpongeBob realises that Plankton used him to get a Krabby Patty, and Plankton runs off with it. However, he does not know that behind the cinema screen is a concrete wall (the movie said "Oh darling, I know nothing's gonna tear us apart.", which is ironically just what happens because of Plankton). Plankton is squashed, and Mr. Krabs flicks him off the wall onto Bubble Bass's hand, who mistakes Plankton for a jellybean and chases him around his hand.

[edit] Cultural References

The adventure music heard in the part where SpongeBob comes out of the sewer and looks at the Anchovies' feet for the Krabby Patty and then he spots it is from Indiana Jones.

[edit] Trivia/Goofs

When Plankton is leaning against the door of The Chum Bucket, he appears to be as big as the door.

When Karen says, "Befriend the SpongeBath", original captions say, "Befriend the SpongeBob'". Also, later on she said, "What did you do with the Krabby Patty?", but captions say "Where's the Krabby Patty?" When she says to Plankton, "You're forgetting the mission", captions say, "Remember the mission".
The "He's a Jolly Good Rookie!" song can be heard in the My Gym Partner's a Monkey episode "Gorilla of My Dreams" during the "Her?" scene.
In the Gamecube,Ps2 and Xbox versions of the SpongeBob Squarepants Movie game, when Mindy is explaining the car and tub levels, F.U.N's music can be heard.
