Plankton: What a bunch of morons.

Karen: Yeah, but they're our morons.

Plankton: Aww! (hugs Karen, then looks at the camera) You again? The movie's over. Pack it up. (the camera zooms back) Keep going. Keep going! (the camera zooms back even further until the Bikini Bottom sign lands upside down) Keep going! Eh, good enough.

Plankton: There you are, my love! I've come to apologize.

Karen: (clearly upset to see him) Oh. It's you.

Plankton: Well, hello! Now give me a big, sloppy kiss and let's tango!

Karen: Stand still, twinkle toes! How can I stomp you when you're jitterbugging all over the floor?!

Plankton: And I wouldn't blame you if you did, my dear. Because I can feel your pain now. Sandy put your empathy chip into my brain!

Karen: (sarcastically) Oh, I see! So, all this emotion is just the empathy chip talking!

Plankton: No, it's not! Well at first it was, except… (opens his head, like a battery with a pained groan, he pulls the chip out of his head, revealing that it's completely fried) This thing burned out on the way up here from an overload of feels.

Karen: (stares at Plankton) You shouldn't have come back, Sheldon. Frankly, I'm surprised you made it this far. Now, run along, little copepod. I have to get back to my world domination.

Plankton: But that was our plan, Karen. I'm so sorry for not listening to you all these years. (tosses the empathy chip aside) But from now on, I want us to do everything together.

Karen: (sighs) It's too late. You can drop the lovey-dovey act. (flicks a switch, a giant safe rise from a mechanical door) I've got what you really want right here. (opens the safe revealing…) The Krabby Patty secret formula. (Plankton gasps as Karen solemnly rolls it over to him) Take it and go.

Plankton: (seemingly loses his empathy, grinning evilly) After all these years! (laughs) Yes! Finally! The thing that's gonna help me take over the world… (smashes the bottle containing the formula, but unbelievably, instead of reading it, he kicks it aside) …was right there in front of me the entire time. The secret formula… was you.

Karen: (looking completely silent, emotional) Me? (rolls over to her husband) So, you really do feel my pain?

Plankton: Yes. And that's not all. (runs over to Karen, hugging her by her base) I really do love you, Karen. Between the two of us, you're the real evil genius. (The line on Karen's screen becomes her face as she looks down at Plankton. Karen's face screen sheds a tear, splashing him) Huh? Eh.

Karen: Need a boost?

Pearl: We see Karen for coffee 7 days a week, and she complains about you every time.

Sandy: So, what really happened tonight? (hypnotizes Plankton with SpongeBob's watch)

Plankton: (gets hypnotized one last time) I had just finished chasing everyone out of the Chum Bucket with a flamethrower when… (we go to the moment where the events of the entire movie began) Karen, please, don't do this! We don't know the consequences!

Karen: I DON'T CARE!! (removes her empathy chip from her circuitry)

Plankton: No, no, no! (Karen throws away her empathy chip) Not the empathy chip! Please, put it back! Take out the snarky chip! I hate that one! (gets kicked out of the Chum Bucket in the flashback)

Sandy: What?! She removed her empathy chip?! (she, Pearl and Mrs. Puff scream in shock)

Mrs. Puff: Without that chip, she can't feel anything for anyone.

Pearl: No wonder our Gal Pal isn't herself.

SpongeBob: (comes out of the coffee machine and reveals that he had the empathy chip the whole time) Oh, so that's what this is. I thought it was a mint. (laughs as the three remaining Gal Pals groan in frustration and facepalm)

Plankton: Ah-ha! (takes the chip) Give me that. All I have to do is put this chip back inside Karen, and everything goes back to normal!

Sandy: (takes the chip from Plankton, making him fall into a cup of coffee) Forget the chip! Karen wasn't happy with the way things were. If you love her like you say you do, apologize.

Mrs. Puff: Can you do that? Can you just say you're sorry?

Plankton: Of course I can! (SpongeBob takes the coffee and sips down some more; Plankton falls out) Ah! (clears throat) I'm sh-sh-sh... Ah... (clears throat) I'm sha-rah. Hmm? I'm sha-sha...

Pearl: (annoyed) Oh, he's hopeless. If anyone needs an empathy chip, it's him.

Plankton: Almost got it.

Sandy: (gets an idea) That there's a dandy idea, Pearl!

Plankton: Wha-?!

Sandy: (grabs Plankton and opens his head) Brace yourself, partner! Here come the feels! (installs the empathy chip in Plankton's brain, much to his agony, and then puts him down)

Plankton: I don't feel anything.

Gal Pals: (groan in annoyance)

Plankton: (feels different) Oh, now I do... (smiles goofily and flies towards a 2D-animated fantasy)

Sandy: Plankton! What in tarnation did you do to our friend Karen?

Pearl: Yeah, why is she so angry?

Mrs. Puff: And why does she have four heads?

Plankton: SpongeBob, help me! Back me up!

SpongeBob: Why don't you help yourself to some of this stuff? I love it!

Sandy: It is your fault Karen turned into a monster!

Pearl: I bet you never even loved her!

Plankton: That's not true! (the Gal Pals glare at him, angrily) SpongeBob, psychoanalyze me! They gotta hear this!

SpongeBob: [gasps; the entire town is reduced to a barren wasteland] Bikini Bottom. Gone. It's all gone. Our homes, our lives. Everything.

Plankton: Yeah, she really messed up the old place.

SpongeBob: Plankton, you caused this. You... you... you lied to me. You were never interested in getting back with Karen. And now look what's happened. You did this! You! This is all your fault!

Plankton: [in denial; turns away from SpongeBob] No, it's not.

SpongeBob: [appears as a psychiatrist one more time and writes down in his notebook; speaks in Austrian accent; removes his psychiatrist look; Plankton looks back at SpongeBob, his grumpy expression softened; turns his notebook to reveal the word…; drops his notebook on the ground and turns around in sadness; runs off crying] Plankton, my analysis is complete. An overthrown sense of self-impertinence, pre-oscillation with fantasies of power, disregarding for others, instability to handle criticism, cycle-delusion, und borderline physicality. Let me put this simply. Mr. Krabs was right. You're just a pitiful, pathetic… …jerk! I'll leave now. I'm going to be with my real friends.

Plankton: [looks at the notebook; whimpers] Wait, SpongeBob! SpongeBob? Don't leave me alone! Ugh. Maybe the kid's right. Maybe I am a jerk.

Plankton: No, no, no! What are you doing?!

Smart Karen: It is only logical, since you made New Karen from Old Karen parts...

All the Karens: We are all Karen!

Snarky Karen: (cackles) We're gonna be stronger than ever, thanks to you!

Plankton: Once again, it's time to run!

Plankton: That's right! I built this ultimate Karen to destroy the old Karen and get that secret formula! (giggles)

SpongeBob: Wait, but what about Bikini Bottom?

Plankton: I don't care about Bikini Bottom.

SpongeBob: Huh?

Plankton: (grunts as he hops back on top of the New Karen robot) Follow that battle station!

New Karen: Follow that battle station!

Plankton: Uh-huh, we're here. Good old B.S.U.

SpongeBob: (gasps) B.S. me? Plankton, language.

Plankton: No, you moron. (turns SpongeBob around) Bikini State University.

Super Evil Karen: (about Plankton as he escapes with SpongeBob) He's getting away!

Super Smart Karen: (calmly) But it is important that we complete our battle station first.

Super Snarky Karen: Hey, ladies, what do you say we pick up (points to the Krusty Krab) some takeout? (they cackle)

Mr. Krabs: (snoring) Money, money, money, money. (snores) Money, money- (suddenly feels a rumble; wakes up and gasps) What's happening?! (runs out) What's happening?!

Patrick: What's happening is I ran out of ketchup.

Mr. Krabs: Patrick, how'd you get in here?! (gives him a new bottle of ketchup) We're closed! (escapes the restaurant before it gets magnetized) Ah! (grunts) Where are you goin', me beloved Krusty Krab?! (struggles to hold the restaurant down, but the magnification pulls it forward) No!

Patrick: Whoa! (splatter ketchup all over the window) Hmm? Yay! Ketchup! (licks up the ketchup splatter)

Mr. Krabs: Patrick, stop yer salivating all over me windows!

Old woman: Hello!

Mr. Krabs: (gets accidentally hit by the old woman's metal cane) Ow!

Old woman: Goodbye! (gets lifted by the magnetic Chum Bucket)

Hydra Karens: (cackles)

Mr. Krabs: (gasps) Is that Karen?! She's gone full hydra! (climbs up onto a large remote) Time to rally the Civil Defense! (pushes the button and sets off the alarm)

Super Snarky Karen: (steals the alarm and uses it as a megaphone) People of Bikini Bottom! If you do not wish to be harmed, abandon all homes, businesses, and public restrooms! (laughs)

Perch Perkins: Breaking news! There appears to be a giant- (his microphone gets sucked away; takes out another one) There appears to be a giant magnet- (his second one gets sucked away; clears throat and takes out another one from the toilet water) There appears to be a giant magnet (struggling to hold the microphone) sucking everything metal across Bikini Bottom! (screams as he gets pulled upward)

Woman: (comes out of a shoe store) Thank you! I love these new stilettoes! (her new shoes get attracted by the magnification and she gets flung onto the giant metal shoe on top of the store) Oh! Wait! (the giant shoe gets lifted in the air by the magnification) This isn't my size!

Goofy Goober employee: Yeah, I'm not cleaning this up!

Mother: (to her daughter) Don't swing your purse like that, honey. Swing your purse like this! (whooping while swinging her purse and knocking Plankton backwards)

SpongeBob: Hi, Plank- (gets hit in the face by Plankton) Whoa! (they swing around the restaurant and fall to the ground; Plankton pops out from the middle of SpongeBob's face) Hi again! (pulls Plankton out and chuckles, but he's suddenly getting pulled upwards by some magnetic force) Oh, what's happening?

Plankton: Huh?

SpongeBob: Whoa! (struggles to hold himself down, but his spatula gets pulled away) Nooo! Spatty! (his spatula attaches itself to the Chum Bucket)

Plankton: What?! She magnetized the Chum Bucket?!

Karen: (still enraged) Plankton! (jumps out through the doors, scaring SpongeBob and Plankton) OUR EVIL ALLIANCE IS THROUGH!!

Plankton: (horrified at Karen's transformation) Holy mama pajama!

SpongeBob: Whoa... (two more heads appear from her mainstream) Whoa!

Plankton: (surprised) You've got three heads?!

Super Snarky Karen: (baby talk) Aww, the little green man can count! (scoffs; normal voice) Let me introduce myself. I'm Super Snarky Karen. And this...

Super Smart Karen: Is Super Smart Karen. And this...

Super Evil Karen: Is Super Evil Karen!

Plankton: (jokingly) Super, super, super! Where'd you get those names? The supermarket? (chuckles) Supermarket.

Super Evil Karen: Let's blast him! Say "goodbye"! (her screen shows a lion roaring)

Super Snarky Karen: Hold on, Evil. There are steps to be taken for world domination.

Plankton: World domination? That's my thing!

Super Snarky Karen: Not anymore, Green Bean! We're gonna do what you could never do.

Plankton: What do you mean?

Super Snarky Karen: You might wanna take notes during this song.

Plankton: Song? When did you have time to write a song?

Karen: (growls; sparks red electricity all over her body and her monitor overheats) Plankton...! You know what your problem is?! (but Plankton simply ignores her and fiddles around on his iPhone like a spoiled child ignoring his/her parents) Are you even listening to me?!

Plankton: Of course I'm listening. I'd love some coffee. (Karen roars in anger and frustration) Five creams, nine sugars, and, uh, stir it clockwise.

Karen: (growls as she's reaching the boiling point) You're such a JERK!! (her angry statement gets Plankton's attention; she opens her circuitry) I'm gonna do something I should have done a long time ago!

Plankton: (gasps and drops his iPhone) No, Karen! Don't! Can we talk about this?

Karen: I'm done talking!

Plankton: Karen, please, don't do this! We don't know the consequences!

Karen: I DON'T CARE!!!

Plankton: (first lines; interrupting the "Welcome to Bikini Bottom" song) Alright. Hold it right there, Frenchy. This is my movie. (The camera turns to the Chum Bucket) Darken the skies. (The sky darkens, and clouds roll in) OK, now, push in. (The camera pushes into the Chum Bucket) And… cue the title! (The title "Plankton: The Movie" appears) Alright. Keep pushing in. (The camera pushes through the letter "O" in "Movie", then through an air vent in the dining room, then to Plankton, who is sitting in a giant chair with Spot) Closer. Closer. Can you hurry up? I haven't got all day. Now, stop. (The camera stops, hitting his face) Ow! Too close! (pushes the camera back) Are you trying to kill me? This is the beginning of my movie!
