SpongeBob SquarePants!

Ready?

♪ SpongeBob SquarePants. ♪

I don't understand

what you're talking about. What is this break?

Like, I-I... I'm here as often as I can be.

I'm working two jobs.

I don't know what else you want me to do.

Ah, what a wonderful day.

The sun is out. The water is shimmering.

Scallops are chirping.

So peaceful.

Good morning to you, sir.

Would you care to blow a bubble?

Oliver.

We're okay. We're okay.

What happened? Huh?

Can you use your words, please?

There you go.

Something.

In.

House.

Something in house.

That was probably just a nightmare,

'cause there is nobody in the house

but your mom and your dad.

All right, come here.

Come here, come here, come here.

Can you take some deep breaths for me, huh?

Okay? We're gonna do some deep breaths.

Okay?

So, he woke up in the middle of the night screaming.

I went in there. I was up for two hours with him.

He's a little boy.

- He has nightmares. - That's easy for you to say.

You never go in with him. It's always me.

I slept through it.

- All right? I'm sorry. - No, don't do that.

Why can't you just admit that you don't want to help?

I help, okay?

I always help... when I'm awake.

Hey, buddy.

No more nightmares, huh?

I heard you had a bad dream, bud.

Need a hug?

I know what the problem is.

Too far away.

Yep. Let's see.

Ten feet. Oh, that's definitely too far for a hug.

What do you think five feet is?

Yeah, okay.

Little closer.

I'm getting the weirdest reading on this thing.

It just...

Tummy tickles!

Ooh!

Your throne, sire.

Are you able to make it to his speech therapy today?

Oh, sorry, I can't.

Uh, I picked up a shift at the parking lot.

Oh, well, hopefully, you can make one soon, right?

Yeah, for sure.

Are.

We.

Moving.

Are we moving?

You are not moving anywhere, okay?

So don't worry.

Today, we're gonna start in

with multiplying more than two numbers.

Not cool, man.

You don't even know what you're groaning about.

It's not so hard. If you can multiply

two numbers, you can multiply three. You just take it...

Make sure you pay attention to the lesson, okay?

Anybody want to take this?

Come on, you learn by trying.

Nobody?

Oliver.

What do you make of these three numbers?

The.

Answer.

Is.

Eight.

The answer is eight.

Not quite. I see what you did there, though.

You were adding instead of multiplying.

Very good try, Oliver.

Anyone else want to give it a go?

Go ahead, Byron.

How come Oliver still gets to use his phone in class

but you took mine away?

He's autistic, dude.

So he gets special treatment?

Oliver gets to use his phone

because he wasn't playing Fortnite

during the Pledge of Allegiance.

Ooh.

Let's get back to our first pair.

The product of two and four... why don't we start there?

Try one of those

radioactive sludge balls you call food?

Next, I suppose you'll want me

to go square-dancing with Patrick.

Hey. What's up?

Sorry, Patrick.

Do you want to come hang out with us?

Where?

Oh, uh, it's just...

I saw something cool over there.

That way.

I'll catch up in a sec.

Friends.

Hello?

Hey.

I can't believe he actually fell for it.

Of course he did.

- He's such a loser. - Is he having

- a heart attack? - He totally is.

We're supposed to call 911.

Dude, dude, listen.

That's just how he talks.

Moaner Boner.

It's like, he can't even talk.

Exactly. Hey, maybe he's a robot under his skin.

Moaner Boner thinks he's special.

Oh, did you want to say something?

I can't believe you used to be

friends with Moaner Boner over here.

- My mom made me. - You.

I didn't want to.

Are.

Very.

You are very ugly.

Who's ugly now?

Come on.

I didn't know what to think when I pulled up

and he wasn't there waiting for me.

I went right into the worst-case scenarios.

Uh, did he get in trouble?

Did someone take him?

And then I found him just screaming in the field.

That sounds very scary for both of you.

And he lost his phone somehow.

I wish he could explain what happened.

Good.

Now we're gonna try using our words.

"Lost...

in field."

We're gonna work on your F's, okay?

F's can be tricky.

"Field."

"Field." Can you try that?

F...

F...

F...

Oliver, you can do it.

F...

Okay.

Good practicing.

Have you been trying to provide him

with social experiences,

like we discussed?

Poor guy still doesn't have any friends.

You said he was hanging out with your friend's son?

- Jennifer's son, Byron. - Yeah.

- Yeah, w-we're not close anymore. - Okay.

So, if you can make any effort to help him find friends...

take him to birthday parties, anything...

it can be a good way to get him to open up.

And just like he's trying to get better at talking,

we have to make sure we're listening.

Okay, Patrick, it's all in the technique.

First, go like this.

Spin around. Stop.

Double-take three times.

- One, two, three. - Come on.

Oliver, you got to stay with me, okay?

Five bucks, please.

Thanks a lot.

Come on.

Oliver, take that box off.

Whoa, buddy.

It's time to brush your teeth.

He's full of energy tonight.

Yeah, he is.

Where'd you get that?

It was at the lost and found at work.

I think it just needs to be charged.

I guess you like it, huh?

Hey, be careful with the screen.

It's a little cracked.

- What? - You know what.

I run around with our son all day,

and you get to swoop in and be the hero once again?

The hero?

It's not all presents and tummy tickles with me

like it is with you.

I just wish I could take that part of him

and put it in a box and tape it up

and hide it somewhere

so he didn't have to deal with it.

Then he wouldn't be our Oliver.

I should've...

I should've taken him sooner.

What if he never learns to talk because I didn't

- do anything for so long? - No.

We didn't do anything.

He's never looked me in the eyes.

Do you know what it's like for your own child

to never look you in the eyes?

Well...

he's got nice eyes, if that helps.

No, Marty, it doesn't help, because he... he loves you

and he hates me.

Okay, now, how many of you

have played musical instruments before?

Do instruments of torture count?

- No. - Is mayonnaise an instrument?

No, Patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument.

Is.

Dad.

Gone.

Is Dad gone?

Yes.

Hello.

Who.

Are.

You.

Who are you?

I am Larry.

Your parents want you

to be normal.

I just want

to be your friend.

Hi, honey.

So, I just had a little chat with Jennifer.

You know how Dr. Robyn's always

talking about you making friends?

Well, we're gonna have a sleepover this weekend.

I know it's scary.

I'm nervous, too.

I haven't really seen Jennifer since that whole incident,

but can you try and have some fun for me?

You noticed your dad's gone earlier than usual, huh?

I have something I need to talk to you about.

Um, I've been wanting to talk to you about it

for a while, but I've just...

I haven't been sure what to say.

Your dad and I love you so much.

I don't want you to feel alone.

That's why we're gonna have the sleepover this weekend.

Is that your way of saying

you don't want to talk to me about it?

- Hi. - Hi.

- How are you? - Thank you for coming.

- Nice to see you. - You, too.

So, I hope you're gonna be okay with these guys.

They can be a little bit of a handful.

Oh.

Yeah, I think we'll be fine.

Byron just felt more comfortable with his posse.

- You're welcome to stay for a while. - Oh.

And spend more time with Byron than I have to?

- Mom. - Yes.

I'm just kidding, honey.

Not kidding.

So, um, can I say hi?

Oh, yeah. Of course, yes.

Yeah.

Oliver.

You remember Jennifer, right?

Hi, Oliver.

Why does he do that weird thing with his fingers?

- Okay, be nice, guys. - No, it's okay. Um...

It helps calm him down.

- It's called stimming. - Okay.

But why?

Well, he's under-sensitive to stimulation,

so sometimes he needs to touch his own skin

or spin in a circle, and it makes him feel good.

Can he spin forever without puking?

Sure seems like it.

That's kind of cool.

Come on, Oliver.

Hi, Oliver.

It's really nice to see you, honey.

My gosh, you've gotten big.

Yeah. Yeah, he's... he's still not talking,

but his writing has really improved.

- That's awesome. - Mm-hmm.

High five?

Whoa. Still strong.

Okay, that is not gonna happen,

because he knows now to keep his hands to himself.

- Of course. - Right, Oliver?

Well, the boys have all agreed to include Oliver,

so I'm sure it's just gonna be a really great night.

Is he gonna make those sounds the whole night?

Keep it down.

Isn't it sad that your mom has to force kids

to come over and pretend to be your friend?

What are you staring at, anyway?

Moaner Boner's been looking at that closet all night.

Maybe that's where he keeps his secret candy stash.

What? Are you guys telling me

you don't have a secret candy stash?

I'm gonna check it out.

Do you see any candy?

Hey!

What's your deal? We all got these.

Aw, does he think we're gonna steal it?

Want to see what kind of games you got on here.

What's this?

Does your mommy still read you bedtime stories?

"This is Larry."

Who's Larry?

Yeah, who's Larry?

This guy.

Whoa. Look at that dude.

Yeah. He looks just like your dad.

Shut up.

My dad is way hairier.

"Larry never gets to play pretend.

He gets made fun of because he's different."

Okay, did your parents forget to pay

the electricity bill?

"Larry just wants a friend."

Are you guys seriously afraid of a dead light bulb?

Two dead light bulbs.

"He's tall and pale and thin

"and tries to hide his face.

"He isn't from the world you know.

Larry comes from another place."

Uh, maybe we should stop reading.

"Larry watches through your windows,

"which connect his realm to yours.

"He needs you to know his whole story

to turn those windows into doors."

What does that mean?

- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God!

Shit! Shit!

Oh, my God.

What's going on?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Come on.

Are you making those sounds, Moaner Boner?

What the shit is that?

Shit.

Shit, shit, shit.

- What the hell kind of app is this? - Is it an app?

Should I read the next page? I'm gonna read the next page.

No, no, no. Don't read the next page.

"Larry has looked through the glass

"and found you staring back.

"He understands your loneliness.

"A true friend is what you lack.

Will you be Larry's friend?"

No! No, I will not be Larry's friend.

Guys, guys, th-there's nothing in the corner.

- No. No, no, no. - No. No, no, no.

- No, no, no. - No, no, no. No, no, no.

- Don't! No, don't! - No, don't! Don't!

See?

It's probably just a fuse.

Do you see him?

Do you see Larry?

Guys, there's no such thing as Larry.

It's just your imagination playing tricks on you.

What is happening?

Oh, my God!

Byron, are you okay?

I don't know how this happened.

I don't see how Oliver could've done this.

Byron, baby?

Do you think you can tell us what happened now?

Who did this?

It was... it was Oliver.

He's a freak.

- Excuse me? - Let's go.

Jennifer, I... I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

We got to go.

How did you blow out all of these lights?

I don't understand.

Were you trying to hurt Byron again?

Not you?

Well, who else could it have been?

You know, if you want friends,

you can't push furniture into them.

Will you at least help me move this table?

Please stop humming.

We are not happy right now. This...

Is that the SpongeBob song?

You don't... you don't have to stop.

Does that help you calm down?

Maybe I pushed you into this too fast.

We've got a lot going on in this house,

and maybe we're just not ready for friends.

Let's fly on over

to the Midwestern region.

Which one is this? North or South Dakota?

South Dakota.

That's right.

Underneath South Dakota is...?

- Nebraska? - Nebraska.

Jade, what's under Nebraska?

Kansas.

Kansas. Nice one.

Oliver, do you want to give this one a try?

Oliver, did you bring your talker today?

Another day.

And under Kansas?

Oklahoma?

Misunderstood Monsters.

"This is Larry.

"Larry never gets to play pretend.

"He gets made fun of because he's different.

Larry just wants a friend."

Marty?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

Is somebody watching me?

Oliver, what the hell did you download on this thing?

Say goodbye to Oliver.

Have you been talking to my son?

You need to stop. This is not funny.

Stay away from my son. I won't let you hurt him.

Not hurt.

Take.

Take, take,

take, take, take, take.

Why? To collect and...

- Everything okay? - Sorry. Uh, Oliver?

- Is Oliver here? - Yeah.

Thank God you're all right.

We got to go.

We have a family emergency, so we're just gonna go.

We just got to get you home, okay?

I know. I know this isn't part of your routine.

It's just...

Someone was watching us at home.

They said they want to take you.

Oh.

Hi. Jen, I can't...

What do you mean, he's not talking?

I don't know what they got up to this weekend,

but Byron, he still hasn't slept.

Won't go to school.

Won't eat.

Two days with him not talking, and...

I seriously don't know how you do it.

I think someone hacked into Oliver's screen.

Someone was talking to me.

SpongeBob, I just want to say that I'm...

sorry.

What?

I'm trying to say I'm...

What?

I mean, how could someone use that to get to...

Honey, it's nice of you to try and apologize,

but I don't think he wants to watch SpongeBob right now.

It was Larry.

Honey?

Oliver didn't do anything.

It was Larry.

Who's Larry?

I read about Larry today in that story.

Tell me what you saw, please.

Larry just wants a friend.

H-He made the lights go out.

I-I could hear him in the house.

H-He moved things, but...

but I couldn't see him.

Not really.

So, you guys played make-believe?

No.

He's the one that hurt me, not Oliver.

Larry.

I could feel him.

His hands around my neck.

He tried to kill me.

Larry just wants a friend.

Larry just wants a friend.

Larry just wants a friend.

Larry just wants a friend.

Hurry! Oliver!

We got to get to Dad. We can't stay here.

Honey, I'm sure it's nothing, but better to be safe, right?

Can you look at me?

We should get going, okay?

And no screens.

Oliver!

What are you talking about?

I know it sounds crazy,

but I was reading this story about Larry,

and then the lights...

they started going on and off.

And then another one was going on and off.

It was like he was using the electricity

to move around the room.

And then he screwed in all the new light bulbs.

So, he helped you with your chores.

He must have needed the power or something to come alive.

- Larry? - Larry.

I knew I shouldn't have moved out.

I'm not making this up.

Oliver saw him.

There is something inside our house.

O-Oliver, here.

Tell Daddy.

He.

Wants. Me.

As. Friend.

This thing wants our son.

Okay.

I think you need a good night's sleep.

I'll take him to school in the morning.

No, I am not letting him out of our sight.

How do we know the school is safe?

Okay, well, why don't I bring him to work with me tonight

if he's not going to school tomorrow?

Absolutely not.

Oh, come on. What, you don't trust me with him?

No, it's not that. It's...

Rest is important for the body.

So, you sleep, and...

we can talk about all this tomorrow.

Really, come on.

Let me take care of him.

Give this and the change to the gentleman.

There you go.

Thanks so much.

Have a good one.

My man is a pro!

Very nicely done.

See? Look how good you are at that.

You could take over for me some nights.

The best part is that, in between cars,

you can do whatever you want.

You can listen to the radio.

You can even watch SpongeBob.

Oh, hey.

Ah. Is this the infamous haunted screen?

It's okay.

Hey. Do you know how your nightmares aren't real?

Well, neither are ghosts or ghouls or vampires or witches,

and certainly not Larrys.

"This is Larry."

"Will you be Larry's friend?"

It's nothing.

Happens all the time.

It's okay.

Huh.

Hang tight.

All right.

Let's see what we have here.

Oliver, what are you doing, buddy?

What if a car drove in? Huh?

You got to be more careful.

Hey. Here.

Give me this.

Look. Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Look.

Buddy, there's nothing.

Hey. Look at me.

Okay? There's nothing out there.

Okay? I'll show you. Look.

See?

Look at that.

See?

Totally safe.

Oliver!

Let him go!

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

I saw through that-that... that screen

the way he was holding Oliver.

Why does he want our son?

The story said something, um, about, uh...

"A true friend is what you lack."

He hasn't had a friend since-since...

Oh, yeah, since Jennifer and I got in our fight.

- I know. - Yeah, some stupid fight.

Hey, Oliver hit Byron,

and then she decided our son was dangerous.

Either way, he's been lonely long before that.

I mean, Oliver's been staring

at his screens for years, and that...

that thing has been staring right back.

And how come we can't see it, huh?

I-I don't know.

Doesn't make any sense.

How-how can he be here and not here at the same time?

What have you got, honey?

That's very nice.

We got some kid.

Larry's in his world, and we're in ours, but...

But we're also together.

Larry can interact with us, but he can't reach us.

He can't get to Oliver yet.

That's why he wants to get into our world.

If that's his window...

Then we have to destroy it before it becomes his door.

We have the cookie, we have the blue car,

and you get to choose... whichever one you want.

What's it gonna be?

Yeah. Good.

Marty and I both experienced it.

It's not just in Oliver's imagination.

I'll be right back, kiddo.

Sarah, do you know what a physical empath is?

No.

It's when you love someone so much

that you feel or experience their pain.

It's a good sign.

It shows just how much you care about Oliver.

And it's very common in parents.

So, you're saying that we could be seeing his imagination

because we love him?

That doesn't make any sense.

But an invisible monster

that travels through electricity does?

Well, we're hoping that that's over now

because we destroyed that thing.

So, does he have a way to communicate?

I'll...

let him take my phone with him to school

until we can afford a new one.

Unless you could get him talking first.

Sarah.

Come on, it's...

it's extremely rare for kids his age

to start verbalizing in the way I fear you're imagining.

I know. I know.

I just... I just want to make sure

that you still have the right expectations.

If he can say a few words...

maybe a sentence here or there...

that would be a big win.

We have to keep remembering his strengths.

Have you seen him again?

What's this?

He. Gave.

It. To. Me.

Seriously?

Yes.

Then Mom and Dad broke him.

Broke him?

S-So, like, he's gone, then?

Yes.

Can I ask you something?

Yes.

Why'd you stop being my friend?

We used to hang out all the time.

I. Did.

Bad. Thing.

You did?

Punch. Face.

Your. Mom. Mad.

I barely even had a bruise.

The next day, I was asking my mom

when we could have another sleepover.

But she played me a message from your mom.

Your mom said you didn't want to be my friend anymore.

That is lie.

Wait.

So, you never said that?

Lie.

Wrong.

I never.

Lie.

Moms are so weird.

What are you watching over there?

Wait.

Let me guess.

SpongeBob?

No.

No!

Help!

Hello!

Somebody help!

Where are you?

No!

Shit.

You need any help with your homework?

Hey, I talked to Jennifer today.

She said Byron's doing much better.

Hello?

How?

We found him in his car on the side of the road.

We're not sure how it happened. He was unresponsive.

W-We rushed him to the hospital...

Hello?

Hello?

Hello!

Welcome to the Krusty Krab.

How may I help you?

- Yeah... - Did you turn it on?

...two large fries and a Jumbo Krabby Patty.

Hey! What's that?

What are you doing behind the counter?!

- He... - Will...

- Follow... - You...

- Until... - You...

- Finish... - The...

Story.

Why are you doing this to us?

Where did you come from?

- World... - Only...

- Look... - At...

- Screens... - Not...

Each other.

What?

What does that mean?

- People... - Very...

Lonely.

- All... - That...

- Loneliness... - In...

- World... - Made...

Larry.

- Larry... - Made...

- Of... - Loneliness.

Larry is lonely?

How do you think I would feel if Larry took Oliver?

- Finish... - The...

Story.

- Finish... - The...

Story.

No.

No, no, no, no.

No. Stop. Stop.

No. No!

No.

Can you just be normal for one second?

Oliver.

Oliver, I didn't mean it.

Honey.

Sometimes...

even moms and dads say things that they shouldn't.

I just... I...

Your dad...

he's been in an accident, and, um...

they're trying to wake him up.

Something happened to him, and I think it was Larry.

And I cannot let Larry get us, too.

Oh, my God.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

We're gonna go for the door.

Stay quiet.

Oliver.

If something happens to us...

...I don't want you to think

that I meant what I said downstairs.

What did I lie about?

Byron?

Oh, honey, I...

You hit him out of nowhere.

I thought it would be easier for everyone

if I just cut ties.

"You took away...

"...friend.

"Now I...

go with..."

No. No, don't... d-don't go with Larry.

You're right.

I did lie.

And I didn't do it...

Honey, I didn't do it to protect you.

I did it to protect me.

Oliver.

Can you look at me, please?

Please, can you look at me?

It's okay.

I know you're listening.

You're always listening.

Much more than I listen to you.

Oliver.

Oliver.

Hey.

Oliver.

Come...

play.

Friend.

Friend...

F...

F...

F...

F...

Fie-ld.

Field, field, field, field.

Field, field, field, field, field...

No! No!

Oliver!

Field, field, field, field, field, field, field, field.

Why the field?

There's no electricity here.

He can't get us.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, you did it.

You did it.

You saved us.

Oh!

Run!

Run! Come on!

Run!

Stop! No, Oliver!

No.

Oliver.

Oliver!

No!

Oliver!

Friends.

I'll be your friend, Larry.

We both want the same thing.

We both want to protect Oliver.

I love you.

I love all of you.

Good.

Now, you want to give it a try?

M...

Mom...

"Mom." Excellent.

Loves...

M...

Me.

Wonderful.

"Mom loves me."

I know for a fact your mom loves you very much.

You're so good with him.

So are you.

How's he doing at home?

He seems okay.

I've been trying to give him

more social experiences, like you said.

Uh, we've been practicing his speech,

like, uh, five times a day.

Well, you don't want to wear him out.

Let's say three times a day.

Oh. Okay.

Got it.

Three times a day.

For speech work.

I mean, you know Sarah... she was...

...incredible.

I thought I understood, but I...

I just wish I could tell her

that I'm sorry.

That I'm trying now.

I'm sure she'd like to hear that.

I hope...

they'll find her.

Is that you?

- Hey. - Hey.

Can I, uh...

eat lunch with you guys tomorrow or something?

That depends.

Are you willing to take the pledge?

What pledge?

A secret handshake.

For those of us who've seen Larry.

The pledge to stay friends.

To play together forever.

So no one has to be alone like Larry.

I'll protect you.
