[000:02:47;234] ( growling ) [000:02:52;739] ( screams ) [000:02:54;207] Don't worry, [000:02:54;207] SpongeBob, [000:02:55;876] he won't be able [000:02:55;876] to strangle you. [000:02:57;744] Yeah, we got him [000:02:57;744] chained up [000:02:57;744] real good. [000:02:59;946] He'll never [000:02:59;946] get away. [000:03:01;248] Oops, not again. [000:03:02;749] OFFICER: [000:03:02;749] Yup, he got away. [000:03:04;417] ( screams ) [000:03:05;485] ( thudding ) [000:03:06;753] You nice officers [000:03:06;753] will protect me, right? [000:03:10;590] We ain't bodyguards, [000:03:10;590] kid. [000:03:12;725] Yeah, give us [000:03:12;725] a call [000:03:14;194] if you see him [000:03:14;194] again, tattletale. [000:03:16;696] ( tires screeching ) [000:03:18;064] ( coughs ) [000:03:19;966] Those officers are right-- [000:03:19;966] I need a bodyguard. [000:03:22;735] Mr. Krabs!

[000:03:35;415] When he see [000:03:35;415] me moves, [000:03:36;817] he'll be [000:03:36;817] running scared. [000:03:38;718] So where is this [000:03:38;718] little bully, [000:03:40;720] down at the park? [000:03:42;155] The soda shop? [000:03:43;656] What does he [000:03:43;656] look like, eh, boy? [000:03:45;625] This would be him, [000:03:45;625] Mr. Krabs. [000:03:47;227] ( screams ) [000:03:48;261] The Tattletale Strangler! [000:03:50;596] Go away, SpongeBob.

[000:04:09;382] That's it, [000:04:09;382] I got to get out of town [000:04:11;451] till I can find a bodyguard. [000:04:13;019] MAN: [000:04:13;019] Bodyguard, huh? [000:04:14;321] Uh, I might be able [000:04:14;321] to help you out. [000:04:16;289] You don't understand, [000:04:16;289] mister. [000:04:17;924] I need protection from [000:04:17;924] the scariest guy in town. [000:04:20;793] Here's [000:04:20;793] his picture. [000:04:22;329] ( chuckles ) [000:04:23;629] He doesn't [000:04:23;629] look so tough. [000:04:25;065] I tattled on him, [000:04:26;632] and now he wants [000:04:26;632] to strangle me [000:04:28;735] with his [000:04:28;735] diabolical hands! [000:04:30;503] I hope they're [000:04:30;503] not dirty. [000:04:33;907] ( laughs sinisterly ) [000:04:36;676] Huh? [000:04:38;711] Uh-oh, there's too many [000:04:38;711] witnesses around here. [000:04:42;382] Listen, kid, I could [000:04:42;382] be your bodyguard. [000:04:45;352] Here's my card. [000:04:46;552] Hmm... [000:04:47;553] Looks good to me. [000:04:49;322] You're hired! [000:04:50;490] I feel safer already. [000:04:50;490] What's next? [000:04:52;658] Well, the maniac [000:04:52;658] could be anywhere [000:04:55;128] wearing a disguise. [000:04:56;596] He could be [000:04:56;596] that old man. [000:04:58;231] Or that baby. [000:04:59;299] Or that pebble! [000:05:00;533] Or that stick. [000:05:01;501] Or that receipt [000:05:02;735] for the Phony Baloney [000:05:02;735] Mustache Emporium. [000:05:05;138] Huh? Uh, [000:05:05;138] that's mine. [000:05:06;439] Oh, bodyguard, my body is [000:05:06;439] in your guarding hands. [000:05:09;376] What do we do first? [000:05:11;044] Uh... I suggest [000:05:11;044] we go to a nice quiet, [000:05:11;044] secluded location, [000:05:14;747] like behind [000:05:14;747] an old dumpster, [000:05:14;747] or a dark alley. [000:05:17;384] We could go to my house [000:05:18;718] and turn off [000:05:18;718] all the lights. [000:05:20;220] Perfect. [000:05:21;654] That way no one [000:05:21;654] could hear you [000:05:21;654] being strangled-- [000:05:24;224] I mean, uh, uh, protected. [000:05:26;159] ( laughs maniacally ) [000:05:27;860] Perfect. [000:05:29;930] Yes, excellent. [000:05:32;532] ( both laughing maniacally ) [000:05:34;734] ( both laughing louder ) [000:05:42;875] Ah, but first [000:05:42;875] I got to do a few errands. [000:05:45;211] Uh, okay, but let's [000:05:45;211] make it quick. [000:05:47;080] "Quick" is my middle name. [000:05:49;950] Let's see, paper towels. [000:05:52;018] This one says, [000:05:52;018] "Best paper towel around." [000:05:54;988] This one says, [000:05:54;988] "Best paper towel in town." [000:05:57;590] Hmm. [000:05:58;591] "In town." [000:05:59;592] "Around." [000:06:00;593] "In town." [000:06:02;662] "Around." [000:06:03;896] What do you think, [000:06:03;896] bodyguard? [000:06:05;665] Whatever gets us [000:06:05;665] to your house quicker. [000:06:08;101] I'll take both! [000:06:10;036] Here you go, [000:06:10;036] Mr. SquarePants. [000:06:12;105] Hmm... [000:06:13;639] Is there something wrong? [000:06:14;907] I'm not sure if [000:06:14;907] these are my pants. [000:06:18;144] ( groans ) [000:06:21;381] ( sniffs ) [000:06:23;049] How about this one, [000:06:23;049] bodyguard? [000:06:24;650] Too overbearing? [000:06:25;785] Can we just go to your house? [000:06:29;822] Here we are, [000:06:29;822] SquarePants Manor. [000:06:31;891] Bodyguard, let me just [000:06:31;891] take this opportunity [000:06:34;461] to say you're the best bodyguard [000:06:34;461] a fellow could hope to have. [000:06:38;198] All right, enough [000:06:38;198] of the sappy talk. [000:06:40;566] Open the door [000:06:40;566] so I can strangle you... [000:06:43;036] I mean, uh, choke you... [000:06:44;471] I mean, uh, crush [000:06:44;471] your windpipe... I mean... [000:06:46;873] "Protect me"? [000:06:47;740] Thanks. [000:06:48;774] Don't mention it, [000:06:48;774] Strangler... [000:06:50;377] ( gasps ) [000:06:51;311] I mean "bodyguard." [000:06:52;379] Now, where [000:06:52;379] did I put my key? [000:06:53;913] ( growls ) [000:06:57;083] ( growling [000:06:57;083] and sizzling ) [000:06:58;451] Well, I can't [000:06:58;451] find them. [000:07:00;253] Do you want [000:07:00;253] to take a look? [000:07:01;687] Forget the key! [000:07:04;024] Let's climb [000:07:04;024] through this window. [000:07:05;758] ( grunts ) [000:07:06;692] I can't reach it. [000:07:08;161] Can you hop up [000:07:08;161] on my shoulders, kid? [000:07:10;196] Sure. [000:07:11;531] With these spiky cleats, [000:07:11;531] anything is possible. [000:07:14;534] ( grunts ) [000:07:15;468] "Cleats"?

[000:07:47;900] ( growls ) [000:07:48;901] ( explosion ) [000:07:49;902] There you are, [000:07:49;902] you little rascal. [000:07:51;771] Now to put it in the lock, [000:07:53;273] which should activate [000:07:53;273] the tumblers, [000:07:55;442] thus opening the door. [000:07:56;943] Step inside...

[000:10:09;041] Wait, we can [000:10:09;041] trust Patrick. [000:10:10;776] He's my best friend. [000:10:12;278] Well, uh, I can't [000:10:12;278] take any chances. [000:10:14;180] For all we know, uh, [000:10:14;180] he could be the Strangler. [000:10:16;683] I'm the Strangler?! [000:10:18;384] Oh, I should have known! [000:10:20;086] I got to turn myself in! [000:10:21;654] ( panting ) [000:10:22;788] ( crashes ) [000:10:25;057] So Patrick's [000:10:25;057] the Strangler. [000:10:27;860] Gee, you think [000:10:27;860] you know a guy. [000:10:29;462] He's not the Strangler! [000:10:31;297] He's not? [000:10:32;398] ( tearing ) [000:10:33;366] I am! [000:10:35;468] Hey, how'd you do that [000:10:35;468] without shaving cream? [000:10:38;070] Oh, it's a fake, [000:10:38;070] you idiot! [000:10:39;672] I bought it at [000:10:39;672] the party store! [000:10:41;407] Did someone [000:10:41;407] say "party"? [000:10:43;543] ( screams ) [000:10:44;944] ( crashes ) [000:10:46;346] I can't take it! [000:10:49;115] Wait, bodyguard, [000:10:49;115] I need protection! [000:10:51;284] Step on it! [000:10:52;452] I'm being chased by a maniac! [000:10:54;220] ( tires screeching ) [000:10:55;288] I'm not safe! [000:10:56;789] Come back! [000:10:58;190] ( tires screeching ) [000:11:01;927] ( gasps ) [000:11:02;928] Finally! Away from that guy. [000:11:04;464] SPONGEBOB: [000:11:04;464] Good idea, [000:11:04;464] bodyguard. [000:11:06;098] He'll never [000:11:06;098] find us up here. [000:11:07;700] ( screams ) [000:11:13;473] SPONGEBOB: [000:11:13;473] Good thinking, bodyguard. [000:11:15;475] The Strangler could have been [000:11:15;475] on that plane. [000:11:19;078] ( screams ) [000:11:20;713] Bodyguard! [000:11:20;713] Bodyguard! [000:11:22;315] Look, kid... [000:11:24;717] I'm not your bodyguard! [000:11:27;487] ( sobbing ) [000:11:29;221] ( sobbing ): [000:11:29;221] I'm the Strangler. [000:11:31;524] See? [000:11:33;959] ( screams ) [000:11:35;127] The Strangler! [000:11:36;629] Good work, [000:11:36;629] SpongeBob. [000:11:38;364] You put the Strangler [000:11:38;364] behind bars. [000:11:41;000] At least I'm safe [000:11:41;000] from that yellow idiot. [000:11:44;069] PATRICK: [000:11:44;069] Hey, Mack. [000:11:45;338] What are you in for?
