SpongeBob: Good morning, day! (he begins to walk, but accidently steps on the top of his big toe) Oww! (falls over, but gets back up with his toe soar) I stubbed my toe! (he cries profusely like a fountain, leaving a puddle surrounding him) I was walking around and I stubbed my toe! (later, he walks into his closet and searches though a long line of identical square pants while humming; he picks one, but the wire hanger rips through the side) D'oh, that was my favorite shirt. (cries; later, he appears at his breakfast table eating cereal while listening to the radio)

Radio DJ: And that was "Asia" by Eely Dan. Next up is Lionel Fishie with his hit, "Sad Song".
{{L|''[The sad song begins to play, and SpongeBob begins crying again.]''}}
 
{{L|SpongeBob|That's a sad song!}}
(the sad song begins to play, and SpongeBob begins to cry)
{{L|Squidward|''[inside his house, wearing a robe and towel, while holding a cup of tea and a croissant]'' That SpongeBob is such a crybaby. Lucky me, I get to work with him all day. ''[takes a bite out of his croissant while SpongeBob continues to cry from inside his house. Later, at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob is flipping Krabby Patties while singing]''}}
 
{{L|Mr. Krabs|''[enters abruptly, startling SpongeBob, who flips the patty into the air]'' SpongeBob, guess what? ''[the patty lands on the ground]'' Yeah, I'll come back later. ''[goes back into his office. SpongeBob sadly picks the patty up by his spatula and carries it to the trash can]''}}
SpongeBob: That's a sad song!
{{L|SpongeBob|He was a good little Krabby Patty. ''[sniffles]'' I didn't know him well, but in the few short seconds between grill and floor I... ''[opens the trash can lid and begins crying]'' I came to love him! ''[the patty slowly slides off his spatula and into the trash can]'' It just isn't fair! ''[cries even louder, soaking and enraging Squidward from the counter window]''}}
 
{{L|Squidward|SpongeBob, will you stop crying?!}}
Squidward: (inside his house, wearing a robe and towel, while holding a cup of tea and a danish) That SpongeBob is such a crybaby. And lucky me I get to work with him all day. (he takes a bite out of his danish while SpongeBob continues to cry from inside his house; later, at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob is flipping Krabby Patties while singing)
{{L|SpongeBob|But the Krabby Patty fell on the floor and he—}}
 
{{L|Squidward|Krabby Patty nothing!}}
Mr. Krabs: (enters abruptly, startling SpongeBob who flips the patty into the air) SpongeBob, guess what? (the patty lands on the ground) Yeah, I'll come back later. (goes back into his office, SpongeBob sadly picks the patty up by his spatula and carries it to the trash bin)
{{L|SpongeBob|But he—}}
 
{{L|Squidward|''[very loudly]'' Krabby Patty nothing! ''[pants heavily, then SpongeBob whimpers with tears]'' What now?}}
SpongeBob: He was a good little Krabby Patty. (sniffs) I didn't know him well, but in the few short seconds between grill and floor, I--(opens the trash lid and begins crying)--I came to love him! (the patty slowly slides off his spatula and into the trash bin) It just isn't fair! (he cries even louder, soaking and enraging Squidward from the counter window)
{{L|SpongeBob|''[sniffles]'' You yelled at me! You yelled at me! ''[sobs even louder than before, continuing to soak Squidward with tears while Squidward has a depressed look on his face, realizing yelling is only going to make matters worse. Bubble transition to them in the dining area with a chalkboard]''}}
 
{{L|Squidward|''[annoyed]'' All right, look. So far today, and it's not even 2:00 yet, you have cried 43 times.}}
Squidward: SpongeBob, will you stop crying?!
{{L|SpongeBob|And you wrote that number on a chalkboard?}}
 
{{L|Squidward|Yes!}}
SpongeBob: The Krabby Patty fell on the floor and--
{{L|SpongeBob|Why?}}
 
{{L|Squidward|''[pauses for a second]'' I have no idea.}}
Squidward: Krabby Patty nothing! (SpongeBob tries to speak, but Squidward interrupts again) Krabby Patty nothing!!! (he pants, then SpongeBob whimpers with tears) What now?
{{L|SpongeBob|Oh, Squidward, there's no way I cry that much. There's not that many tears in my brain.}}
 
{{L|Squidward|Au contraire. ''[turns on a TV]''}}
SpongeBob: (stifled) You yelled at me! (sobs loudly, continuing to soak Squidward with tears; later outside the kitchen, Squidward stands before SpongeBob next to a board that says 43)
{{L|SpongeBob|What's this?}}
 
{{L|Squidward|It's a quick montage of flashbacks I've edited together that shows the hundreds of tears you have cried over the years.}}
Squidward: All right, look. So far today, and it's not even 2:00 yet, you have cried 43 times.
{{L|''[The video begins to play, showing SpongeBob crying in the Krusty Krab, in a grocery store, at Mrs. Puff's Boating School, in Jellyfish Fields, in the bathroom, and more like near a bus stop for no reason, in a birthday party.]''}}

{{L|SpongeBob|All right, see ya. ''[hangs up, then walks back to Squidward]'' Okay, it's a bet!}}
 
{{L|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!}}
Narrator: Thousands of tears later...
{{L|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 and swallows upon hearing this]'' Ooh, what's the matter?}}
 
{{L|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. ''[smirks]'' He'll be crying in ten minutes. ''[laughs out loud. In the evening, he and SpongeBob are now walking home from work]''}}
(SpongeBob continues to watch himself crying in the video)
{{L|SpongeBob|Thanks again for walking home with me, Squidward.}}

{{L|SpongeBob|''[sad again]'' Oh, no!}}

{{L|Anchor Fish|And finally, sad news for Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy fans.}}
 
{{L|''[Squidward excitedly raises up the volume.]''}}

{{L|Anchor Fish|They will only be showing The Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy Show seven times a day instead of eight—}}

{{L|SpongeBob|''[sweats and frantically changes the channel]'' Let's watch something else Squidward, okay?!}}
 
{{L|Squidward|Fine!}}
SpongeBob: Thanks again for walking with me, Squidward.
{{L|''[The channel changes to a show where a dad fish is walking out of his house for work while a kid fish plays with a baseball in the yard.]''}}
 
{{L|Kid Fish|Hey, Dad, how about a game of catch? ''[throws the baseball in front of his bored dad]''}}
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|Unnamed father|Sorry, son, I'm late for work.}}
 
{{L|Kid Fish|''[disappointingly]'' Okay, Dad. ''[his dad throws the baseball back]''}}
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|It's getting late. I'd better bring out the big guns. ''[out loud]'' Oh, SpongeBob.}}
 
{{L|SpongeBob|Yes, Squidward?}}
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|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: Is that a tear I see?
{{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?}}
(the sunset disappears)
{{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.]''}}
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's a really sad song, Squidward.}}
 
{{L|Squidward|You're not gonna cry though, are you?}}
Squidward: Nice of you to have me, I--(sees something) Oh, look SpongeBob. Gary's sleeping.
{{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!}}
(Gary appears on a stack of newspapers sleeping and snoring)
{{L|SpongeBob|Yes, Squidward?}}
 
{{L|Squidward|How about a bedtime story?}}
SpongeBob: (with his hands together, up to his mouth) Aww. He looks like an angel.
{{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?}}
Squidward: That is just so adorable. Almost makes you want to cry.
{{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]''}}
(Gary begins to drool in his sleep)
{{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.}}
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|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 --}}
(the mail comes in through the mail slot in SpongeBob's door)
{{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: Oh, SpongeBob.
{{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.}}
SpongeBob: (pouring drinks) Yes?
{{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?}}
Squidward: Your mail's here. Ooh, oh look, it's a postcard from your dear mother and father so far away.
{{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.}}
SpongeBob: (turns around) Mother, father?
{{L|''[Squidward whimpers even harder, then starts bawling hysterically.]''}}
 
Squidward: (reading the postcard) "Dear SpongeBob, we are having a wonderful time in the South Seas and we miss you very, very much.
