All right, Karen.



I'm off to go shopping.

[whistling]

Oh!

- Uh...ew!

What is that?

- [groaning]

Ahh!

Ahh!

[groans]

[grumbling]

Huh?
- Hey, over here.

[jazzy music]

- So, uh, you got the goods?

- Of course.

I always deliver.

- Hee-hee.

Eee!

- Pleasure doing
business with you.

- Likewise, my shady friend.

So same time next--

[groans]

[accordion music]

[groans]

I'm here for the formula.

Hand it over, and nobody gets--

[groans]

- Ew.

I seem to have stepped in
some revolting substance.

No matter.

- Ouch.

Ouch.

[groaning]

Honey, I'm home.

- Tough day at work, dear?

- Yes.

Everybody stepped on me again.

- Oh.

Well, I know what'll
cheer up my little man.

Let's dance those blues away.

- Oh, boy!

[air horn blares]

- Oh, yeah.

Go, Sheldon.

Ha-ha!

- You were right, Karen,
I feel better already.

I've got boogie fever!

[groans]

- We haven't danced like
this since our wedding night.

- [laughs]
Whoo!

- Plankton?

Oh, no.

Pardon me.
Pardon me.

Plankton?

Plankton,
are you there, sweetie?

Excuse me.

- Oh.

- Plankton?

[grunts]
There you are.

At least part of you.

- That's it!

I'm not getting
stepped on anymore.

Take me to my lab.

- Sure.

But let's find
the rest of you first.

- [grunting]

[cackles]

[bell dings]

[grunts] Foot Deterrent,
Version 1.1, commence test.

[groans]

Not quite there.

- Foot Deterrent, laser thingy.

[sighs] Might as well
get this over with.

[laser pings]

[machine hisses]

What?

Yes.

I'm invincible!

Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh.

Ah!

[laser blasts]

Ow.

- [whistling]

- [grunts]

All right,
time for a field test

in T-minus 3, 2, 1.

- Huh?
[laser blasts]

- Hmm.

- [cackling]

- My foot!

Ouch.
Ouch.

Ouch.
- [cackles]

Take that,
you high-stepping ham!

Huh?

- [whistling]

- Oh, boy.

Time to stop
those big metal stompers.

- [humming]

Hmm?

[grunting]
Hwah!

Hee-yah!

[laser blasts]

- Plankton, what in
tarnation are you doing?

You almost barbecued
my dang paw.

- Duh.

That was the point.

But hey, what was that
"hiyah" stuff you just did?

- Well, that was just good,
old-fashioned self-defense.

You know, karate.

Looks like you could use
a little self-defense too.

Why don't you swing by my dome
so I can show you some moves?

- Anything to
stop the stomping.

Hmm?

- Huh?

[sighs]

[mystical music]

- All right,
Plankton, come on out.

- Mm.

I make this gi look good.

- Now bow to your sensei.

- Plankton bows to no one.

- Huh?
- Hiyah.

- [grunts]

- Good.

Now we may begin.

We must first gauge your
current level of self-defense.

Think fast!

- Think what?

Ouch!

Now I know why
they call it a sneaker.

- Maybe something
a little gentler.

- [grunting]
Whoa!

I can't flip like you.

Only flop.

- OK.

How 'bout these?

[grunting]

- Ouch!

- Huh.

Seems like you lack
the fundamentals.

What you need
is some basic training.

- [grunts] Okey-dokey,

- Now that you've
mastered the basics,

I reckon you're ready to
spar with a real partner.

- Hi, Plankton!

- SpongeBob?

- Don't you worry.

I'll go easy on ya.

Foam sparring boots.

- I can't promise
I'll do the same.

- Bow to your opponents.

- [grunting]

- Now fight!

- Wah!

- Hmm?
- Yah!

- Ah!

[panting]

[groans]

- That was pretty
good, Plankton.

But remember to
keep your guard up.

- It's no use.

I'm just too small to
avoid being stepped on.

- Hmm.

But in karate, your
greatest weakness may also

be your greatest strength.

- Yeah.

But in "rea-li-tay," that
doesn't make any sense!

- Allow me to demonstrate.

SpongeBob,
give me the old roundhouse.

- Wah!

- Your opponent's
momentum can be used--

- Huh?

[groans]

- --against them,
no matter your size.

You OK, SpongeBob?

- I would bow to
you If I could.

Ouch.

- That was incredible!

Let me try.

- Visualize the technique.

Grab, twist,
and let gravity do the rest.

- Shut up.

You're distracting me.

[mystical music]

[inhales and exhales]

- Hwah!

[funky music]

- Hiyah!
- Ugh!

- I did it!

In your face, feet!

[gong resounds]

- Congratulations, Plankton.

But remember, this
technique is to be used

strictly for self-defense.

- Oh, of course, Sensei Sandy.

Uh, wink.

Buh-bye!

[laughs]

- Uh, Sandy, could you give
me a ride to the hospital?

- Whoops!

Oh, sure, SpongeBob. Heh-heh.

- All right,
who's looking to rumble?

Huh? You!

- [slurping]

Heh-heh.

Hiyah!

What unexplained
force of nature?

Ah!

- I feel so powerful!

[elephant trumpeting]

And I can't help but
use that power for evil!

Oh, Krabsy, hyah, I'm home!

Oh!

No one can stop me now.

That secret formula
will be mine!

Now that I can defend myself,

I don't have any feet.

- Well, maybe your
eyes were confused.

- No.

She loved Larry's muscles.

She's sick of this
old sack of fondue.

- Look, Mr. K.,
I'm sure Mrs. Puff

loves you for who you are,
not how many muscles you have.

- Look.

Look, boy.

This farmer's tan, this
flabby shell, so undefined.

See the realities of middle
age on an all-fondue diet!

Look away!
- Ah!

- No crab
should look like this!

There's only one option, boy-o.

I gotta get in shape
before me next date.

And you're gonna help!

Abandoned gym!

Do it for Mrs. Puff.

Huh?

- Oh, you're right.

I'll do it for Puff.

Oh!

temple of the bods.

- Save the sales pitch.
I got this.

that's actually for--

Finished me reps.

Hmm.

Got me heart rate up.

his first day.

If you want to work out, I'd
be happy to help train you.

Heh, heh.

Yeah, maybe I
could use a few pointers.

some free weights.
