Synopsis

Template:Section-expand The episode begins with a tired SpongeBob and a tired Squidward exiting the Krusty Krab, and Mr. Krabs asks them their plans for the weekend. SpongeBob says he is polishing Gary's shell, and Squidward says he has a dance performance. Mr. Krabs invites them to Goo Lagoon to ride on a yacht instead, to which both accept. The next day, SpongeBob and Squidward arrive at Goo Lagoon, and Squidward questions where the yacht is. Krabs tells them that the yacht has to be built first, saying that SpongeBob and Squidward will build it, and he will "supervise", really taking a nap.
