[bubbles pop]

narrator: Ah, a happy pineapple under the sea.

Let's take a peak inside, shall we?

You will notice that the sponge is bored,

because his best friend Patrick is away.

- Ohh.

[moans]

Hmm? [popping]

Oh, what's this?

"All alone? No one to talk to?

"Why not write to a total stranger?

"Connect with other Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy

pen pals today!" [bell dings]

Ooh! I've never had a pen pal!

*

[pencil sharpener whirrs]

Hmm.

"Dear Pen Pal,

My name is Spongebob SquarePants."

Oh, that's great!

"I work at a restaurant.

"I love frying and I am very good at it.

Sincerely, your new best friend."

Behold! The perfect letter!

Now for the envelope.

[hums] Yah!

*

Gary, get off of that! You'll smudge my masterpiece.

- [meows]

narrator: Uh-oh, it looks as if the domesticated snail

has unintentionally deformed the word "frying,"

making it look like the word "flying".

This is probably going to be a problem later on.

- Eh, it's just a little slime.

[slurping]

Ah, perfect.

*

Blah. Ah.

- [sighs]

[wobbling, explosion] - [grunts]

[panting]

Blah.

[grunting] "Dear Spongebob,

Wow! You know how to fly!"

Fly? What does he mean by-- [screams]

narrator: See? What did I tell you?

- Gary, my pen pal thinks I can fly!

- [meows]

- Ha! What a silly misunderstanding.

"I can't believe I know a real life pilot!

I wish I could watch you fly because I am dying!"

[gasps] Dying!

Not Pen Pal! [sobs]

[blows nose] I don't want to let him down

and say that I can't fly.

'Cause then his dying wish would never come true!

[thunder booms]

- We're gathered here today to celebrate the life of Pen Pal.

He died disappointed.

[sliding, thud]

[whistling] [thunder rumbles]

- Whoo! Time to make Pen Pal's wish come true!

With a tiny white lie! [giggles]

"Dearest Pen Pal, yes, I can fly.

Boy, do I love flying. Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly."

Blah. [slurping]

- Uhh.

- [excitedly whimpering]

"Dear SpongeBob, I'll be at the Bikini Bottom Air Show tomorrow.

Please meet me there so I can finally see you fly!"

Oh!

Oh, no, what have I done? What have I done?

What have I done? I can't fly, Gary.

I'm not a flier! I'm a liar!

[yells, sobs]

Ahh!

[screaming]

[splashing]

[meows] Ah, good thinking, Gary.

[straining]

Sandy'll know just what to do!

[bubbles pop]

- What can I do ya for, SquarePants?

- I did a bad thing, Sandy.

I did a very bad thing.

- Here, take these. They're clean.

- No, no, it's not that.

It's--it's-- I--I--I--

[pulling]

[popping] I lied!

[sobbing] Oh, I lied, I lied, I lied, I lied, I lied!

[stretching, snapping] - Relax, SpongeBob.

You're twitching like a prairie dog

on a cow skin rug.

- Uh, what on a which?

What's got your beehive a-buzzing?

- My who--a--hive--a-- where's in?

- [sighs] What did you lie about, Spongebob?

- [inhales deeply]

Well, there was this big misunderstanding

and now my Pen Pal thinks I can fly

and I didn't think I would ever meet him

but now I have to and he wants to see me fly

and I don't know how and if I don't fly

he'll die disappointed.

I made a horrible mistake, Sandy, please help!

[inhales, burps] - Well, it ain't no lie

if you actually learn to fly.

And I can help you with that. - Really?

- Sure. [bubbles pop]

[door closes] Hm. Mm-hmm.

- Seatbelt, check!

Controls, check!

[video game music] [machine shifts]

[propeller whirs]

- Proper takeoff, check.

How you doing in there?

- Oh, I'm good.

Oh, there's my house!

[game chiming]

Ooh, I forgot to feed Gary. [meows]

Oh, hi, Gary. [crashing]

[disappointing game music]

- [sighs] Failed.

All right, let's try that again.

SpongeBob?

Hm? [bubbles pop]

All right, Spongebob. I've tied you up to a rope

so you won't be able to go too far off course.

[grunts] Contact!

[triumphant music]

- [laughs] I'm doing it! I'm actually doing it!

Whoo-hoo! Whoo!

Ahh!

Did I do it?

- [groans] Good enough.

[militaristic music] [bubbles pop]

[engines roar]

[crowd cheering]

- [coughing, straining]

- [gasps]

- [groaning, straining]

- Hey, you must be Pen Pal!

- [coughing]

- What an honor it is to finally meet you!

Oh, you brave, brave pen pal, you!

- Hm? [coughs]

- I just wanted to say that today...

Today--today is the first day of the rest of your life.

I promise to fly to the best of my ability,

just for you.

Oh, I will not let you down. - [coughs, yells]

- Mm, my heart is full too, Pen Pal.

[sniffs] My heart is full too.

- [strains, spits]

Phew, that was a close one.

What was that guy talking about?

[munches]

- Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

feast your eyes upon the daring and death defying,

the porous, the incredible

Flying Sponge!

[cheers and applause]

- Take off, don't die, fly a few seconds low to the ground,

don't die, land, don't die.

So simple!

[metal tinking]

[screams]

- Steve's the name and scythes are my game!

You need a scythe?

Steve's got ya covered!

One scythe fits all!

- Get out of here, Steve! - Oh, I had a sale.

- Sandy, I'm nervous.

No, it's still not that.

- Don't worry, SpongeBob.

You'll be, uh, just fine.

Yeah.

[radio chatter] Get ready, boys.

The bronco is loose. I repeat, the bronco is loose!

- Just fine, yeah.

[humming]

[cheers and applause] [engine turns over]

Pen Pal, this one's for you.

[engine roars]

[exciting music]

Whoo! I'm flying!

Yee-haw! - Hey, SpongeBob!

Ha, I can't believe you can actually fly

like you said in your letter.

- Patrick? You're Pen Pal?

- Ha, uh, duh! [laughs]

- But--but you said you were dying!

You're not dying.

- Dying? Ha.

Oh, oh, you didn't read the whole letter!

- See, it says "I wish I could watch

you fly because I am dying."

- And here's the second page!

"To see you as a real pilot, SpongeBob!

"Here are some other things I'd like to see:

candy rain, a fire truck full of clowns--"

Uh, and a bunch of other stuff.

- It all make sense now! [laughs]

Oh, Patrick! [laughs]

- [laughs] You thought I was dying.

- [laughs] [screams]

- Uh, oh!

[both scream]

- Huh? Ah.

- [screaming, struggling]

- Watch out!

[struggling]

[zooming]

[tires screech]

[siren wails] [horn blares]

Candy rain. Check!

- [screaming]

[horn beeps]

- Fire truck clowns. Check.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

[both screaming]

- [crashing, screaming] 'Scuse me, pardon me, pardon me,

'scuse me, 'scuse me, pardon me, pardon me, 'scuse me.

[crashing]

all: Heave-ho!

- Fly first class. Check.

[engine roars]

[both gasp]

- Ah, something's wrong with the plane!

Here, take the controls.

[grunts] - Take what, now?

- [grunts]

[struggling]

Whoa! Whoa! Ahh!

[both grunting] - Whoa!

[siren wails]

[both grunt]

- Ah! - Aw.

- Match point, SpongeBob.

- Whoo-hoo! Check and check.

- [laughs] Hey, Patrick?

Who's flying the plane?

- I am.

No, wait.

[both grunt]

[engine sputters]

[all scream]

[bouncing] - Ah, ooh.

[engine roars]

- Hold on!

We're going down!

[engine stops] [nose diving]

[both scream]

[engine sputters] [brakes screech]

- [screaming] - Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Phew, we ran out of gas.

- Don't worry, I've got this.

Yep. [engine sputters]

[crashing]

[horn honks]

[water spraying]

Thanks for helping me finish my list, SpongeBob.

- Patrick, it was my pleasure. - Really?

Well, if you don't mind, I have a couple of

other things I'd like to see.

- Let's hear them. - Edible balloon,

a skateboarding snail,

a tower of loose meat that tastes like ice cream,

some ghosts.
