This article is a transcript of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "A Fish Called Sandy" from season 15, which aired on June 13, 2025.

• [The episode starts with a pan to Bikini Bottom.]
• French narrator: Ah, the ocean. So bustling with aquatic life. So wet. Ooh! Here comes one of the most elusive of sea creatures now: the squirrel.
• SpongeBob: [blowing with the gum wrapper from "The Paper"]
• Sandy: Howdy, SpongeBob. Uh, could you give me some feedback on this scientific paper I'm writing?
• SpongeBob: I loved to, Sandy.
• Sandy: The ocean is permitted with a multitude of aquatic life. From the amaties, hespect terrorist, to the astrodua and the perifera, though the differences are ostensible, there is a plethora of similarities. SpongeBob? Are you alright?
• SpongeBob: [shivering] Your science paper... so cold. So d-d-didactic.
• Sandy: Gosh, you reckon it's too heavy on the technical side?
• SpongeBob: It doesn't sound like anything I experience living in this wonderful ocean. It doesn't capture the feel of a warm current in your face, or what kelp feels like between your toes. [SpongeBob removes his right shoe, and wiggles his toes between a piece of kelp. Sandy then tries to do the same, but her boot is in the way.] I wish you can experience the ocean like I do. [SpongeBob continues playing with the gum wrapper, then Sandy rubs the side of her helmet.]
• [Bubble transition to SpongeBob walking over to Sandy's treedome.]
• SpongeBob: So Sandy, what was it that you wanted to-
• Sandy: You're just in time! Presenting my Fish You Up Machine. With this device, I'll swap out my squirrel DNA with fish DNA and then I'll be able to breathe water! Then I can study the ocean like y'all sea critters do, without my bunky old suit on! All thanks to the generous help of our handsome volunteer, Fred.
• Fred: Wait, I thought I was getting a haircut.
• Sandy: Boop that button square dude!
• SpongeBob: [presses the button] Boop!
• [Lightning crackles all around, the fluid in Fred's capsule drains, and Fred's fish DNA is transferred to Sandy. Her lungs shrivel up and gills form. Sandy gasps and falls out of her capsule, flopping on the ground.]
• SpongeBob: It really worked! You have gills! Let's get you a breath of fresh water. [SpongeBob and Sandy exit the treedome] Isn't the ocean grand? Let it flow through your gills. Huh? [SpongeBob notices Sandy is no longer holding his hand, turns around, and sees her holding her breath.] Oh no. Sandy, trust in your gills. Breathe. [Sandy shakes her head "No", then her cheeks turn blue.]
• Patrick: Hey SpongeBob. Sandy forgot how to breathe, huh? It happens to me all the time. [He slaps her on the back, causing her to take a deep breath.]
• Sandy: Yeehaw! I'm a water breather! There's a lot I need to learn about the way of the fish.
• Patrick: Yeah. Like don't breathe the yellow water.
• Sandy: Ew! Now I feel more spry than a springtime puff! What should we do first, SpongeBob?
• SpongeBob: Might I suggest everything?
• [Montage of SpongeBob and Sandy having fun.][Bubble Transition to Jellyfish Fields]
• Sandy: You were right. This grass feels so good on my paws. [A jellyfish stings her lower back] Yeowch! Those stings hurt extra without my diving suit on. It is kind of invigorating. [Sandy runs around, trying to get the jellyfish to sting her again, but they fly away.] Come on! Sting me! Sting me! I'm right here! Bring it on!
• SpongeBob: Sandy, check this out! Feel the glory of Jellyfish Fields.
• Sandy: It's beautiful! And the refractive sunlight feels so good on my bare fur.
• SpongeBob: And just breathe in that current. [He takes a deep breath, but hair flies in his mouth.] Sandy, you're shedding. [Gasps] And you got scales!
• Sandy: Good golly, I am and I do! More of my new fish type attributes are making themselves known. I wonder what other fish traits I have. Maybe I got swimming skills!
• SpongeBob: There's only one place to find out.[Scene cuts to Goo Lagoon. Sandy approaches the briny water's edge, then inhales and exhales.]
• Sandy: Ah. Smell that salty waft.
• SpongeBob: Well, what are we waiting for, my fish friend?
• Both: Cannonball!
• [They both splash into the water.]
• SpongeBob: Isn't it nice to sea creatures to take water, Sandy? Sandy! It's just her pelt I felt.
• Sandy: Oh, SpongeBob.
• [SpongeBob looked and saw that Sandy is completely orange from head to tail, just like a real fish.]
• SpongeBob: Sandy! You're all scales.
• Sandy: Well, look at that! I feel so free! I can glide through the waters like a greased pig! Speaking of, I feel hungry. What do fish folk eat around these parts?
• SpongeBob: You're in luck. Goo Lagoon has the best unlicensed beach vendors under the sea.
• Sandy: Ya'll had me at unlicensed.
• SpongeBob: Your finest fish places, my good man.
• Clam: Whatever.
• SpongeBob: Dig in.
• Sandy: Oh, ain't that clever.
• Patrick: You guys paying for your flakes? Want some?
• Sandy: Thanks, but I just ate. Besides, we did that. Being a fish is giving me all kinds of insides.
• SpongeBob: Just keep fighting, Sandy. We'll get you home.
• Sandy: What's gotten into you, SpongeBob? You're acting more skittish than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Those shiny hooks look delicious.
• SpongeBob: Sandy! No! Sandy, stay away from those!
• Sandy: But it's so inviting.
• SpongeBob: Sandy, don't take the bait! Sandy!
• Fisher: Come to papa! Alright, now let's take a look at you. Oh goodness! [vomits]
• Sandy: Oh, you ain't no prize yourself mister!
• Fisher: What are they dumping in the water around here!?
• SpongeBob: Sandy, you're safe.
• Sandy: Sorry, SpongeBob. I let my fish side get the better of me. [her tail turns into a fish tail] Uh oh...
• SpongeBob: Wha? Sandy? [Sandy slowly started to transform into a monstrous Dunkleosteus-like fish] Ah! You over-scienced yourself! Let's get you back to your la- Oh no! She's devolved! I gotta help her! Sandy, come back!
• Gary: [meowing in song of "Blow the Man Down" from "I Was a Teenage Gary" but gets attacked by Dunkleoteus Sandy] Meow!
• SpongeBob: Sandy, leave Gary alone! No, Gary!
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: Gary, you're safe. But wait, what is Sandy eating? Pudding cups? Gary, have you been hoarding those in your shell again?
• Gary: Meow, meow.
• SpongeBob: Wait a minute. Pudding, shell, home, dome. That's it! Maybe Sandy's hoarding antidote's back in her dome.
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: Phew. We'll discuss this pudding thing later, young man.
• Gary: Meow, meow...
• SpongeBob: Sandy no!
• Narrator: Many miles later.
• [SpongeBob had arrived back at Sandy's house, completely exhausted.]
• SpongeBob: Sandy's gotta have a remedy somewhere. Where is it, where is it? There. Bubble bath. Sandy has been smelling a little fishy lately. And now, the revolution serum. That's it!
• Sandy: [as a robot] Whoops. [twists her tail back to her normal squirrel self] Too far. SpongeBob, you saved the day!
• SpongeBob: I'm just glad everything's back to normal.
• Sandy: Yeah, but I feel like we forgot something,
• Fred: My legs! My furry, furry legs! My furry legs!
• [Fred's voice gets deeper, as he begins destroying Sandy's treedome.]
• Sandy: Oh, right. Fred. I'll get the carrier...
