Time/Date:

• Thursday
• Friday

Time cards shown: None

Characters Present:

• Plankton
• SpongeBob SquarePants
• Mr. Krabs
• Squidward Tentacles
• RoboSponge

Songs:

• Without You, performed by SpongeBob SquarePants and Mr. Krabs

A stove is a stove no matter where you go.
A patty is a patty. That's what I say.
A grill is a grill. This is surely so.
And fries should be fries either way.
But this grill is not a home. This is not the stove I know.
I would trade it all away if you come back to stay.
This kitchen's not the same without you.
It's just a greasy spoon (Just a greasy spoon)
without you.

[edit] Plot

It is closing time at the Krusty Krab, and Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that he's going to play a card game. He's going to play against Plankton. SpongeBob is surprised when he hears this, and asks why he'd play against such an evil person. Mr. Krabs explains that Plankton's the worst card-player ever, and he's been winning every week for the last 15 years. In the morning, he tells SpongeBob that he lost, and he bet SpongeBob's contract. SpongeBob is forced to work for Plankton, and Plankton tells him to make a Krabby Patty. SpongeBob doesn't want to, and Plankton 'bribes' him. Soon, SpongeBob's got everything he wanted. He still refuses to make a Krabby Patty. So he takes out his brain and implants it in a robot. The robot also refuses to make a Krabby Patty, so Plankton restores SpongeBob back to normal and gives him back to Mr. Krabs. (Plankton also declares he cheated during the card game) But, after Spongebob went back to the Krusty Krab, he still didn't want to make Krabby patties. But then he saw Krabs annoyed, so he quickly changed his attitude.

[edit] Trivia

• If you look closely at the magazine Robo-SpongeBob is reading when he starts to rebel against Plankton, it has a SpongeBob comic strip in it, which includes SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward.
• This is one of three episodes where a scene transition doesn't show the bubbles, but you can hear them (the vibrating shoes scene). The other two episodes are Boating School and Mid-Life Crustacean.
• The 4th wall is broken in this episode when Plankton says "I put the brain in the robot, you know." as he was saying it to the viewers.
• The title card is similar to the one for Enemy In-Law.
• The song "Without You' is a lot like the song 'A House Is Not A Home'
• "Without You" also has a few alternate names:
  • Greasy Spoon
  • It's Just a Greasy Spoon
  • It's Just a Greasy Spoon Without You

[edit] Quotes

• Plankton: I command you to make me a Krabby PATTY!!!

Robo-SpongeBob: (beeps) Response: Why don't you ask me later?

Plankton: What? WHAAAAAAT???!!!

Robo-SpongeBob: Get welded.

Plankton: WAIT!!!! I COMMAND YOU TO MAKE ME A KRABBY PATTY!!!!!

Robo-SpongeBob(lying on ground lazily): I don't wanna. (drinks out of a cup of oil and snacks on nuts and bolts while reading a magazine)

Plankton:AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

• Plankton: Please, Krabs! Just take that yellow nightmare back!

Mr. Krabs: Well.....(hiding an OUT OF BUSINESS sign) a deal's a deal, Plankton. He's your headache now.

Plankton:Oh, have mercy, Krabs! I'll give you anything! I BEG OF YOU!!!

Mr. Krabs:Hmm..... give me fifty bucks, then I'll take him off your hands.

Plankton: IT'S A DEAL!! I cheated anyway. [Cheated during the card game]

(Mr. Krabs then throws Plankton back into the Chum Bucket)

Plankton(smiling as he flies though mid-air): THANK YOOOOOUUUUU!!!!! (Plankton flies into the Chum Bucket. A crashing sound is heard.)

Plankton: Ouch.
