{{L|Kid Fish|Hey, Dad, how about a game of catch? ''[throws the baseball in front of his bored dad]''}}
Squidward: (shakes SpongeBob's hand) Fine. If you cry one tear before midnight, you have to...(thinks) Wash my bike, clean out my rain gutters, and do all my yard work for a year.
{{L|Unnamed father|Sorry, son, I'm late for work.}}
 
{{L|Kid Fish|''[disappointingly]'' Okay, Dad. ''[his dad throws the baseball back]''}}
SpongeBob: Sounds fair to me. And if I make it to midnight without crying, you'll come to a slumber party at my place. Just you and me. (Squidward retches) Ooh, what's the matter?
{{L|Unnamed father|''[tosses his briefcase]'' I guess I can stay for a few throws.}}
 
{{L|Kid Fish|''[teary-eyed]'' I love you, Dad.}}
Squidward: Um, nothing, I just threw up a little in my mouth. (begins talking in his thoughts) No need to worry, Squiddy. You've outdone yourself. He'll be crying in ten minutes. (laughs out loud; in the evening, he and SpongeBob are now walking home from work)
{{L|Unnamed father|''[teary-eyed]'' I love you, son.}}

{{L|Patrick|''[from outside]'' Hey, thanks for the TV, SpongeBob! ''[carries the broken-up TV set on his head]'' I'm gonna watch it all night! ''[runs into his rock house with it. SpongeBob and Squidward awkwardly stare at each other, Squidward glances at the cuckoo clock, which says 8:41, then speaks in his thoughts]''}}
Squidward: There's a first time for everything. (under his breath) Also, I'd like to win this bet as soon as possible. (chuckles devilishly)
{{L|Squidward|It's getting late. I'd better bring out the big guns. ''[out loud]'' Oh, SpongeBob.}}
 
{{L|SpongeBob|Yes, Squidward?}}
SpongeBob: (speaking in his thoughts) I am not gonna cry. I am not gonna cry. (straining, he speaks out loud) I can do this.
{{L|Squidward|What would you say to a little music? ''[pulls out his clarinet]''}}
 
{{L|SpongeBob|''[gasps happily]'' I'd say... I'll go get some refreshments. ''[walks off]''}}
Squidward: (smiling) Do what? (sees something and gasps) Oh, my! What a lovely sunset. Take a look, SpongeBob. (SpongeBob looks at the sunset and gasps) Isn't that beautiful?
{{L|Squidward|Don't be long. My secret weapon is waiting. ''[gets out sheet music titled "Hearts & Flowers (or Some Such Sad Song)," then chuckles]''}}
 
{{L|SpongeBob|''[appears holding a tray of tea]'' You said something, Squidward?}}
SpongeBob: I've never seen such a beautiful underwater sunset.
{{L|Squidward|Oh, I just said, "Relax and enjoy the song."}}
 
{{L|''[Squidward begins playing the such sad song on his clarinet. SpongeBob goes stifled, trying to fight back tears. Squidward strains hard playing the last single note, then pants; SpongeBob resists the entire time.]''}}
Squidward: Really tugs the heartstrings, doesn't it?
{{L|SpongeBob|That's a really sad song, Squidward.}}
 
{{L|Squidward|You're not gonna cry though, are you?}}
SpongeBob: (gasps quietly in awe) It's... (the Bikini Bottom Choir drives by singing an angelic note, Squidward chuckles as SpongeBob's eyes begin to twinkle and water)
{{L|SpongeBob|No. ''[Squidward growls. The scallop cuckoo clock then chirps 9:00]'' Time really does fly when you're having fun. Well, I'd better start getting ready for bed. ''[starts to put the tray of tea down]''}}
 
{{L|Squidward|''[nervously]'' Uh, SpongeBob. No-no-no-no, wait!}}
Squidward: Is that a tear I see?
{{L|SpongeBob|Yes, Squidward?}}
 
{{L|Squidward|How about a bedtime story?}}
(the sunset disappears)
{{L|SpongeBob|Now you're talking! ''[later in his room, he lays in bed with Squidward]'' Whatcha gonna read me, Squidward?}}
 
{{L|Squidward|Umm... ''[nervously searches through the pages]'' How 'bout The Little Angler Who Got Lost?}}
SpongeBob: Oh well, sunset's over. (walks off, Squidward scoffs in frustration; later, they both enter SpongeBob's house) Nice of you to drop in, neighbor.
{{L|SpongeBob|That sounds like a very sad story.}}
 
{{L|Squidward|Oh, very sad. Umm... "There once was a little angler ''[the page he's reading is actually of the story Jack and Jill]'' who was, uh, little and sad. ''[SpongeBob whimpers]'' One day the little sad angler was walking through the park. ''[SpongeBob begins to chuckle with joy]''}}
Squidward: Nice of you to have me, I--(sees something) Oh, look SpongeBob. Gary's sleeping.
{{L|SpongeBob|Walking...}}
 
{{L|Squidward|But, he was sad, because...because he was lost... he was lost and very sad. And then, he... he started to cry! ''[SpongeBob begins to choke up]'' He cried, and he cried, and he cried even more ''[SpongeBob strains and fights back the tears]'' And he kept crying and crying and crying and crying and... that's right. You can do it.}}
(Gary appears on a stack of newspapers sleeping and snoring)
{{L|SpongeBob|''[struggling not to]'' I'm wondering if it might not be so healthy to hold in all my tears, Squidward.}}
 
{{L|Squidward|You're exactly right, SpongeBob. Let it all out. Don't fight the feel... ''[the second hand on the clock ticks closer to midnight]'' Ten, nine... do it, do it, cry... eight, seven, six, five... come on! ''[SpongeBob resists and groans. The dam inside his brain begins to crack]'' ...four, three, two, one! ''[the dam breaks, and a river of tears rushes out; the clock strikes midnight]'' Midnight! ''[sighs. SpongeBob's body is now wide]'' Well, SpongeBob, it looks like you won the --}}
SpongeBob: (with his hands together, up to his mouth) Aww. He looks like an angel.
{{L|''[SpongeBob's eyes burst with tears, shooting a flood towards Squidward and smacking him against the wall. The tears shoot out the windows, door crack, chimney, and other holes in his house. They spread to Patrick's house, causing an entire waterfall inside.]''}}
 
{{L|Patrick|Wow, what a great show!}}
Squidward: That is just so adorable. Almost makes you want to cry.
{{L|''[The tears flood the Krusty Krab.]''}}
 
{{L|Mr. Krabs|''[standing on his desk, holding a fat stack of money away from the tears]'' Well, at least we're still together, little ones.}}
(Gary begins to drool in his sleep)
{{L|''[The Bikini Bottom Choir drives through the flood holding the angelic note. At SpongeBob's house, the tears continue to spray into Squidward's face, then stop. The cuckoo scallop hits him on the head. Now, SpongeBob and Squidward sit in front of the TV.]''}}
 
{{L|SpongeBob|''[holds out a bowl of popcorn]'' More popcorn, Squidward?}}
SpongeBob: Yeah. (snaps out of it) No! There shall be no tears in this house tonight! (walks off into the kitchen) La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
{{L|Squidward|No, no. No, no. Please.}}
 
{{L|SpongeBob|''[eating popcorn]'' Don't be shy now. I made extra. ''[Squidward sniffles and begins to whimper. SpongeBob holds his arms]'' That's all right, let it out. You can cry all you want. ''[rubs his right arm]'' You're among friends here.}}
(the mail comes in through the mail slot in SpongeBob's door)
{{L|''[Squidward whimpers even harder, then starts bawling hysterically.]''}}
 
Squidward: Oh, SpongeBob.
 
SpongeBob: (pouring drinks) Yes?
 
Squidward: Your mail's here. Ooh, oh look, it's a postcard from your dear mother and father so far away.
 
SpongeBob: (turns around) Mother, father?
 
Squidward: (reading the postcard) "Dear SpongeBob, we are having a wonderful time in the South Seas and we miss you very, very much.

(The Bikini Bottom Choir drives through the flood holding the angelic note; at SpongeBob's house, the tears continue to spray into Squidward's face, then stop, the cuckoo scallop hit him on the head. Now, SpongeBob and Squidward sit in front of the TV)
 
SpongeBob: (holding out a bowl of popcorn) More popcorn, Squidward?
 
Squidward: No, no. No, no. Please.
 
SpongeBob: (eating popcorn) Don't be shy now. I'm made extra. (Squidward begins to cry, SpongeBob rubs his shoulders) That's all right, let it out. You can cry all you want. You're among friends here.
 
(Squidward wails even harder)
