SpongeBob SquarePants, Season 12

[The episode begins at the Chum Bucket where Plankton struggles to build his new invention.]

Plankton:
Karen, can you give me a hand with my new Dodanatron?

Karen:
Sorry Sheldon, I'm off to visit my Motherboard. [leaves the Chum Bucket]

Plankton:
[gasps, runs after Karen] Wait! How am I supposed to get anything done without you?

Karen:
Don't worry, I put up Help Wanted flyers for an intern. See? [throws intern flyer, and it flies until it hits Plankton's eye]

Plankton:
[sees flyer] Ooh. "INTERN WANTED." Apply today at Chum Bucket Labs? [crumbles flyer] I'm a mad scientist! If getting help was that easy, I wouldn't have built a computer wife!

Person:
Is this where I apply for the intern job?

[Plankton sees the newly-formed line for his new intern job and gets an exhausted look on his face. Bubble transition to inside the Chum Bucket.]

Plankton:
Ahem. Hello and welcome to Chum Bucket Labs. As an intern, you will gain valuable work experience and a sub-minimum wage. [the crowd sighs and leaves, leaving only Patrick] Well that narrowed it down.

Patrick:
I wanna do the science!

Plankton:
[quietly] Oh boy. [bubble transition] Okay, let's see how ya handle scientific equipment. This is my Duplo Maker! It's very, very simple.

Patrick:
Oh, like me!

Plankton:
[takes out a coin] Just put this coin in the chamber-

Patrick:
Gotcha! [grabs the coin and squishes Plankton]

Plankton:
Ow! No! Just the coin, you idiot! [gasps as Patrick steps inside the machine]

[The Duplo Maker creates a ton of Patrick doubles. It is no longer duplicating, as the door opens and many Patrick clones appear. Plankton then screams and runs as a Patrick double tries to land on him, but fails.]

Plankton:
Oh.

Patrick clones:
Do we get the job?

Plankton:
I'll tell ya what ya get. [takes out a remote] You get out! [pushes the button on the remote, and a robot hand with a glove smacks the Patrick clones out of the Chum Bucket]

Patrick clone #1:
Hi, I'm Patrick.

Patrick clone #2:
No, I'm Patrick.

Patrick clone #3:
Who's Patrick?

Plankton:
Well, great. Not a single applicant left.

Pearl:
Hello? I'm still here.

Plankton:
[shouting as his iris turns into a whale] Whale! [Pearl steps closer to him as he climbs up to his desk] No! Not you! Whales eat Plankton!

Pearl:
I don't eat Plankton. That's baby food. I'm just here for the job.

Plankton:
Really? You're not gonna eat me?

Pearl:
Eww, no! I just need money, but my dad's such a skinflint with my allowance.

Plankton:
Alright, you're hired. Whatever.
