Hold on! Hold on!

Coming right up! - Now!

- Give me a second! - Order up, up, up!

Mr. Squidward!

Why haven't you taken out the trash?

I'm swamped, Mr. Krabs!

Why are you wearing a towel?

- Well, obviously, I was in me sauna.

Being a manager is hard work, you know?

- You have to do better.

- Can't you help me a little bit?

- A manager does not do grunt work.

That's what Squidwards are for.

- Hmmph!

I deserve to be manager and sit on my butt all day.

But will I ever get promoted?

- Are you tired of being a loser?

Yes.

Wait, who said that?

- Wouldn't you rather be a weenie?

- Um, not exactly.

- Weenie Hut Jr.'s is now hiring managers.

Your responsibilities will include...

- Whoa.

- Kicking back, relaxing, and letting robots

do all of the grunt work.

- Righteous.

- Apply now to Weenie Hut Jr.'s

and become a pivotal cog in the corporate machine.

A manager?

That's for me!

Whoo-hoo!

- Whoa! - So long, Krusty Krab!

- So long!

- Where is that blasted cashier?

He's already an hour late.

And who the heck is this old lady?

- I smell pickles.

- Mr. Krabs, isn't Squidward looking

better than ever these days?

- What? That ain't Squidward.

- Hmm? It's not?

Why is she wearing his hat?

Where is he? Is he lost?

Why is he so late? Squidward!

I'm coming to find you!

Squidward!

- Uh-huh.

- Ah!

- Yeah, mm-hmm.

- Squidward!

Oh, I'm so glad I found you!

Now, let's get you back to the Krusty Krab.

- Oh, I don't think so.

I'm not going back to the Krusty Krab ever.

Because now I am a pivotal cog

in the corporate machine.

- Oh, no! That sounds horrible.

- Oh, no. It sounds like I'm the manager here.

- Which also means I decide

who stays and who goes.

Oh, Weenie Bots.

Kick out this riffraff.

Both: As you command, Weenie.

Whoa!

- Attention, Weenie Bots.

As your new manager,

I'll be making a few changes around here.

- Uh-oh.

- All music in the jukebox will now be...

smooth jazz.

All Weenie-themed art

will now be fine art.

And, lastly, under no circumstances

is anyone allowed to interrupt my manager time.

Being a manager is hard work.

- Boss Weenie, you must take out the trash.

- Why can't you do it?

- My extension cord won't reach.

Still better...

Than the Krusty...

Krab.

Hey! Open that door!

both: Hooray. Celebration.

Celebration.

Glug, glug, glug.

- Huh?

Aah!

- Oh, good. You are back.

- Weenie.

All right, Squidward.

It's time for a little managerial work.

"How to Repair Unruly Robots."

Hmm.

That ought to do the trick.

Weenie Bots, bring me a weenie.

both: Yes, Mr. Manager.

Oh.

I did it!

They're perfect employees now.

Weenie Bots, run the store.

I'm having manager time.

both: Yes, Mr. Manager.

What a weenie.

The J stands for Junior.

To what do I owe this honor?

- Oh!

Oh.

Please, step into my weeniecopter.

- Welcome to Weenie Hut Senior's!

both: Congratulations, Weenie.

- Congratulations, Weenie. - Congratulations, Weenie.

- There sure are a lot of robots working here.

- Yes, robots are so much more efficient

and sanitary.

- Welcome, Weenie.

- Please, have a seat.

Now lie back and think of weenies.

- What exactly is this management course?

- Well, you see, Squidward, we are going to turn you

into the most efficient manager you can be...

By turning you into a...

Robot.

- Oh, a robot, well, that sounds just--

Help me!

- Oh, we are helping you, Squidward.

You will be...

One of us.

- Typical.

Oh!

- Huh?

- Ahoy there, Squidward.

We're here to save you.

- How did you even know I was here?

- I knew you were in danger.

My squiddy sense was tingling.

- I don't want to know what that means.

Just get me out of here!

- All right, SpongeBob, load her up.

- She's ready!

Watch your head.

- Whoo-hoo!

Pinchy, pinchy.

Huh?

- Cutie, cutie, cutie, cutie.

- That brat's gonna burst!

- Yummy weenie.

Ow.

- Looks like we got here just in time.

Good to see ya, pal. - Oof!

Order up, Squidward!

Gee, it sure is great to have you back.

- Sigh. Please unplug me.

- "The belly of inspiration lies in the midst of your gut."

Welp, I better return this wonderful book to the library

before it's due.

Ah!

SpongeBob, what did I tell you about standing too close to me?

- Oh, you said...

If you keep standing too close to me,

I'm going to trip over you.

- I rest my case...

and my face.

Sorry, Squidward.

I just wanted to invite you to go with me and Patrick.

We have a really fun day planned.

Mm! - Oh, shucks and golly gee.

I really wish I could come and have big fun

with you and Patrick.

Eeh!

- But?

- But I have to return my favorite book

of daily affirmations to the library by noon,

or I'll have to pay a penalty.

You mean this book?

"In life, 'tis better to play hide-and-seek with the trees

than checkers with the wind."

Hey, that's what Patrick always says.

- No, he doesn't.

Get your own affirmations.

- Hi, SpongeBob.

Here we go!

Ha, 9:00 a.m.--

plenty of time before the deadline.

Yeah, you have to get up pretty early in the morning.

And I did.

Ah, there it is--

book returns, top floor.

both: Hey, Squidward. Going up?

- Ah! Uh, I'll take the next one.

both: Squidward! - Huh?

both: Hold the door!

- Close the door. Close the door. Close the door.

- Thanks for holding the door, Squidward.

I thought you yo-yos had a big day of fun planned.

Why aren't you there?

- We are there, Squidward,

because today is...

both: Elevator Riding Day!

Wa-hoo!

I feel my anger.

But I am calm like a plate of linguine.

Patrick, be a dear

and hit the top-floor button for me, please.

- Top floor!

Going up--right after we hit all these other floors.

What are you doing?

- Yeah, Patrick, what are you doing?

You missed one.

Boop. Every floor counts!

Hey!

- Top floor first. Top floor first.

Oh, no, we're trapped, trapped like sardines!

- Don't worry, Squidward.

This happens to us all the time.

- Yeah, last week we only had to wait five hours.

- "Five hours"?

That's past the book-return deadline!

Like a plate of linguine.

Hey, why don't we just use the emergency phone

and call for help?

- Well, if you want to do it the easy way.

Hello?

- Hello. Oh, thank Neptune.

- Oh, thank Neptune.

- I didn't think this phone would work.

- I didn't think this phone would work.

- I'm trapped in an elevator.

- I'm trapped in an elevator.

- Stop saying what I'm saying!

- Stop saying what I'm saying.

Gosh!

Oh, you're no help at all.

You're no help at all.

both: Idiot!

"Relaxation is the tippy toe to tranquility."

- Now you relax.

Patrick can fix it.

- Yeah, my dad was an elevator surgeon

for a whole day.

- He was a what?

- Screwdriver.

Hmm.

And now to connect the right wires.

That's not it.

- Wait, Patrick, don't!

- Patrick.

- Enough! Get me out of here!

Why won't these stupid doors open?

Huh?

Grab my hand!

- Huh?

- That was a close one, huh, Squidward?

- What's that?

both: A door.

Hurry!

- Good luck, losers.

- Thanks, Squidward.

- Finally, that book is getting returned on time.

Thank Neptune!

both: Hey, Squidward. - Huh?

both: You're back.

both: Now give us a boost.

- "Serenity floats on an ocean of cheese."

I'm starving.

How long have we been stuck in here?

- Don't worry, Squidward.

While you were out, I ordered a pizza.

- Give me that, you pea brain.

We can call for help.

Of course.

Pizza delivery.

- Thanks.

- We're saved!

Patrick!

- All right! Let's eat!

- Eat what?

- Now I'm starving, and my book is going to be late.

"Only when all is lost can you see inside your nostrils

and find yourself."

Oh, ah.

I'm free!

After 22 years,

I finally got out of that cursed elevator.

W-what? Huh?

Another elevator?

- Greetings, stranger.

Welcome to our island of tranquility.

both: Going up.

- This is a lot nicer than my old elevator.

Mind if I stay here a while?

- You'll have to ask the king.

both: Going up.

- The king? - Did someone say my name?

- Oh, wise King Squidward.

This weary traveler wishes to stay with us.

- Please, King, can we keep him?

- Hmm. Let me consult the book.

both: The book. The book.

- "A friend in need is a servant guaranteed."

The book says yes!

both: Going up!

- Of course you can stay with us, my child.

We'll teach you the ways of the book.

And you'll get to spend every day

worshipping me.

both: You'll be just like us.

- Oh, gee.

Oh, hey, is that the doorbell?

I-I think I left the oven on.

Whoo!

- Listen, my people,

the book says it's time for me to relax.

Huh?

- Hello? Are you all right in there?

- Yes, yes, I'm all right! Get me out!

Oh, thank you.

Thank you for rescuing me from these stupid--

- Are you Squidward Tentacles? - Yes.

- We've been looking for you.

We're the library police.

You have a withdrawn book that is now 30 seconds overdue.

And you'll have to pay the penalty.

- What do I owe you-- like, a nickel?

You're going to library jail.

Library jail--

how relaxing.

"I appreciate myself by taking time to recharge

"with my best friend--

both: Oh, wise king, we missed you so.

- Why, Neptune?

Why?

- We had overdue books, too.

both: Going up.

Going up!
