The movie starts with the 2002 Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies logos. The titles read "Paramount Pictures Presents," "A Nickelodeon Movies Production," and "in association with United Plankton Pictures." Seagulls fly across the sky while the screen pans and the open credits start. We then see a pirate on a look-out post. He moves upwards to get a better look at something with his telescope. The screen then shows the view in the telescope of a pirate on a dinghy.
Pirate on the Dinghy: [with a trunk] I got it! I got it! I got it!
Look-out Post Pirate: [squints] Dinghy ahoy. [looks down to tell someone something] Dinghy off the port bow. Dinghy off the port bow!

Pirate 2: Captain, dinghy off the... [gets slammed in the face by a door as the captain walks on deck]
Captain: Dinghy. [Lets the pirate in the dinghy onto the ship, along with the trunk]
Pirate Formerly on the Dinghy: I got it! I got it.
Captain: Where is it?
Pirate Formerly on the Dinghy: It's right here, captain.
Captain: [Opens the trunk] I never thought I'd see it with me own eye. [excitedly] Tickets to The SpongeBob Movie! [The pirates cheer and they sail to the movie

Narrator: Hi my name is Jason and today I will be telling you the story of SpongeBob. Ah, the sea. So mysterious, so beautiful. So... uhh... wet. [The camera submerges underwater, it's shown briefly as a live action dark ocean (with sun light rays looping) then a sworm of bubbles fades it to the familiar animated underwater world of the show, it continues going down until stopping in front of the Krusty Krab.] Our story begins in Bikini Bottom's popular undersea eatery, the Krusty Krab restaurant, where...
The camera pans down into Bikini Bottom in front of the Krusty Krab]
Police: Back off! Back off! [waves arms to back off at reporters/citizens]
Narrator: Hey! I was telling a story. Hey, wait a minute. What is happening?
The screen pans out to show the Krusty Krab is surrounded by cops.
Mr. Krabs: Please settle down...[Referring to the Krusty Krab] We've got a situation in there! I'd rather not discuss 'til me manager gets here!
Female Fish: *off-screen* Look, there he is!
A black boat with orange flames drives up; SpongeBob's leg, wearing a black boot with an orange snake on it in the shape of an "S," steps out of the vehicle when it is stopped, SpongeBob climbs out of the limousine. He walks toward the Krusty Krab and blows a bubble.
SpongeBob: Talk to me Krabs.
Mr. Krabs: Oh , it started out as a simple order: a Krabby Patty with cheese.
SpongeBob: So, what went wrong?
Mr. Krabs: When the customer took a bite, no cheese! *he cries, but SpongeBob slaps him*
SpongeBob: Get a hold of yourself, Eugene. I'm going in. *SpongeBob walks in and sees a fish, extremely nervous, looking at his Krabby Patty.* Take it easy, friend. I'm the manager of this establishment. *he puts a briefcase down on a table.* Everything's gonna be just fine.
Phil: I'm really scared here, man.
SpongeBob: *opens the briefcase* You got a name?
Phil: *nervously* Phil.
