Plot

The episode begins at Goo Lagoon, where Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick Star are getting a tan. Suddenly Larry the Lobster comes riding in on a motorcycle, kicking up sand in Spongebob's and Patrick's faces. However every cheers for Larry and soon they talk to him. Larry says he's a professional daredevil who loves to live life to the fullest. Then Larry points out Spongebob and Patrick are big scaredy cats and need to be more like him. Larry drives away leaving Patrick in deep thought.

The next day, Spongebob and Patrick are blowing bubbles in Jellyfish Fields, when Patrick says that their lives are boring, and that they need to live like Larry. Patrick, then jumps on a seahorse, which bucks him off and severly injures Patrick. Meanwhile, Spongebob is riding a kiddie ride at the grocery store. Later that day, Patrick kicks down Spongebob's door, and drags him to the junkyard. Patrick then jumps in a boat going on the coveyor belt. The boat (with Patrick inside) is then crushed by the junkyard crusher, while Spongebob only watches in horror as Patrick is slowly crushed.

Even later that day, Patrick breaks down the door again (still inside the crushed car) and pulls Spongebob to the outskirts of Bikini Bottom to a deep canyon. Next to the canyon is a long board leading to the bottom, which Patrick says he will skate down. He tells Spongebob to join him, but Spongebob says that going down the ramp would be stupid, and would certainly kill them. Patrick shrugs and calls Spongebob a chicken. Patrick then skates down, and flies right into the mouths of several hungry monsters, Patrick's fate is unknown.

The next day, Spongebob is workng at the Krusty Krab, when Patrick (who apparently survived the monster attack) is running towards the resturant, trying to get away from five mad bikers. He tells Spongebob that he was right, and that he would never try such stupid stunts again. When Spongebob goes outsides to talk to the bikers, he knocks down their bikes. Spongebob and Patrick run down the street, and Spongebob gets a rush of adrenaline. Spongebob shouts that he's living like Larry, and is now obsessed with daredevil stunts. The bikers hit Spongebob with their bikes, sending Spongebob flying into the air.

Later that day, Spongebob and Patrick are on the beach again, but this time on a giant arrow aimed towards hundreds of sharp rocks (Ripper's Reef). Patrick worries that they'll get hurt, but Spongebob prepares to cut the rop anyway. Meanwhile, Larry notices what they're doing and races to stop them. But Larry is too late, Spongebob cuts the rope and thwy fly towards Ripper's Reef. Larry hooks a rope on the arrow, bu is pulled up too. Spongebob shouts with glee, while Patrick and Larry scream. They slam into Ripper's Reef at full force, and all are impaled with the rocks.

Later at the Bikini Bottom hospital, Patrick and Larry are put in full body casts, while Spongebob is put in a wheel chair. Spongebob says that it's time for his next stunt, and asks "what would Larry do?". Larry gets mad and chases Spongebob out of the hospital.

Transcript

[Episode Starts at Goo Lagoon. SpongeBob is eating ice cream, while Patrick is tanning]

SpongeBob: This is how to live, isn't it my friend?

Patrick: You said it buddy. (Larry comes in riding a motor cycle. SpongeBob and Patrick scream, and sand gets in there face. Larry does flips, then rides through a picnic blanket, then pulls one of his breaks causing him to go in cirles, getting more sand on SpongeBob and Patrick. He then rides on top of the pile of sand, then through the life guard station causing it to set on fire, and everyone cheers.)

Pink Fish: He's amazing!

Frank: I'll say! (Larry then throws a basket ball into the hoop, then is about to fall, but he presses a button to cause a sky glider to come out, and he causes the flag on some childrens sand castles to catch on fire)

Kids: Woah! (the sky glider then comes off, and Larry stops. Everyone cheers, then larry takes off his helmet)

Pink Fish: Who is that guy?

Fish 1: That's Larry the Lobster. He's like living large!

Peterson: What's your secret Larry?

Larry: Well, you've gotta take risks. (Larry hops back on his motor cycle) Live on the edge. (Larry rides his motor cycle, then jumps off at the lagoon. He then gets on someones surf board upside down)

All: Ooh! (Larry then comes back to shore)

Larry: And you can't... Uh... You can't... (Hears SpongeBob and Patrick whimpering, then picks them up) And you can't live like these two. Just look at 'em. Spineless, (Larry shakes them) weak, (touches them, and they fall) afraid of there own shadows. (They see there shadows, sream, and whimper) Paphetic!

Peterson: Larry, how can they redeem there worthless lives?

Larry: I'll tell you how: by living each day as if it were there last!

Patrick: How do we do that?

Larry: By living like me, Larry.

Patrick: But what's that have... (Larry covers his mouth)

Larry: By living, like Larry

Both: Living, like Larry.

Larry: Living like Larry! (walks away)

Patrick: Living like Larry. Living like Larry. (cuts to later when SpongeBob and Patrick are blowing bubbles. Patrick is sighing, which is like blowing the bubbles) This is bogus!

SpongeBob: What's that Pat?

Patrick: SpongeBob, these are the best years of our lives, and you want to waste them blowing bubbles? We should be living in the moment! We should be living like Lar... (hears sea horses) This is it SpongeBob! This is where we redeem are misreable lives! It's time to start... (jumps in the air, then stops) ...living like Larry! (he then goes back down, and onto the back of a sea hosrse, and he then rides around) Hey, SpongeBob! SpongeBob? (SpongeBob is on a kiddie ride outside a grocery store)

SpongeBob: I'm living like Larry! Wo-hoo! (cuts to later at SpongeBob's house. Patrick kicks the door down, and he is all bandaged up)

Patrick: Where were you SpongeBob? That was awesome! (picks up SpongeBob, and runs outside)

SpongeBob: Hey Patrick, where you going?

Patrick: To live my friend! We are going to live! (cuts to "A-1 Wreckers") This is going to be the best fun yet! (a boat gets smashed from the sides, then from the front and back, then from the top, then a giant spatula puts in a pile of boats, then three flame throwers burn it, then a giant fist comes down and punches it)

SpongeBob: I don't know about this Patrick.

Patrick: You must defeat your reason, before you can start... (jumps up in the air again, then stops) ...living like Larry! (he then goes into a boat) Wo-hoo! SpongeBob, this is it! (he gets smashed from the sides, then cuts back to SpongeBob as the rest happens. Cuts to SpongeBob's house where he is putting the letters of the alphabet on his pairs of socks)

Music: Livin' Like Larry

SpongeBob: De dee do dee do livin' like Larry. Dee dee dee doo livin' like Larry. Deedeedeedee livin' like Larry. (Patrick barges through the door in the boat. He then falls, then breaks out of it)

Patrick: Come on SpongeBob! What are you waiting for? Let's go! (SpongeBob and Patrick run outside. Cuts to later when they are still running)

SpongeBob: Uh, Patrick, where are we going?

Patrick: Just you wait! it's the ultimate! (they run onto a giant ramp that leads into a trench) What do you think? And wait 'till you see the best part! (stomps on the ramp) Hey you guys. (lots of monsters are in the trench)

SpongeBob: I don't know Patrick, this looks very danger... (Patrick attatches a skate board on SpongeBob's back, then does so with him)

Patrick: Here's to living like Larry!

SpongeBob: Well, wait a minute Patrick, I think your missing the point. "Living like Larry" doesn't mean throwing caution to the wind, and risking everything on a stunt that will cost you your life.

Patrick: Don't you mean, cost us our lives SpongeBob?

SpongeBob: No Patrick, I mean your life. I'm not going.

Patrick: Oh gee. And that's your final word on the subject?

SpongeBob: Hmm-mm

Patrick: I feel sorry for you. (goes down the ramp to the trench with all the monsters in it. Scene then cuts to the Krusty Krab where SpongeBob is working)

SpongeBob: I wonder how Patrick's doing with his "living like Larry" thing.

Patrick: SpongeBob! (SpongeBob looks out the window) SpongeBob! (Patrick is being chased by tough fish on motor cycles. He then runs into the Krusty Krab) You were right SpongeBob! I went too far! I went too far!

SpongeBob: Oh it's okay buddy, I think you learned your lesson. Hmm?

Patrick: Uh-uh.

Tough Guy 1: Don't make us come in there kid!

SpongeBob: Now you just let me handle those guys out there. (SpongeBob walks outside) Gentlemen, Gentlemen.

All: What the?

SpongeBob: I know that you might be angry at my friend for his shenanigans, but you are not the only victim. His wreckless thrill chasing as made him a hollow shell of his former self. Just look (scene reveales Patrick is a shell) So let me assure you, his days of "living in the moment" are over. Can you not forgive him for what ever he did? (they thin)

Tough Guy 2: Sure pal. Sure.

SpongeBob: By the way, what did he do that made you all so cranky? (SpongeBob leans on there motor cycles, and they fall)

Tough Guy 2: He knocked over our motor cycles! (SpongeBob laughs nervousley, then they chase SpongeBob and Patrick)

SpongeBob: So scared! Adrenalin pumping! (getting excited) Spine tingling! Endorphins rushing! I've never felt so alive! Oh, yeah baby, yeah! This is what Patrick was talking about! This is really living in the moment! Woo-yeah! This is life! Woo, woo, yeah, woo! (gets knocked in the air by a motor cycle) Now I am finally living like Larry! (cuts to SpongeBob and Patrick on top of a giant knife)

Patrick: Are you sure about this SpongeBob?

SpongeBob: Oh come on Patrick, what happened to being in the moment?

Patrick: I don't know SpongeBob, this looks pretty dangerous.

SpongeBob: Yeah, yeah, you said it buddy! Now we're really living like Larry! (Larry notices them on the knife)

Larry: Well, would you look at that. Now there's two guys who know how to live!

SpongeBob: Prepare for countdown!

Larry: I'm proud of them. (takes a closer look) Wait a minute, with that angle of trajectery, they'll land right in, rippers reef! They'll be ripped to shreds! (runs over with a life saver) Wait, don't do it! Stop!

SpongeBob: 3-2-1 Lifoff. (pulls a rope, which causes the knife to set off)

Larry: Drat! (uses the life saver to catch on to the knife, then goes up in the air) Guys, my advice wasn't meant to be taken literally, I meant live life to the fullest, not demain yourselfes. Look! (then notice the reef)

Patrick: Oh no! (they crash into it, then cuts to scene of them in the hospital)

SpongeBob: What are you two lazy bones doing lying around? There's a really cool ramp down the hall, i've got room for two more. What would Larry do?

Larry: (angry) What would Larry do? I'll show you what Larry would do! (chases SpongeBob) Come here! Come here I said!
