[At the Krusty Krab 2, Mr. Krabs is pinning the manager pin on Squidward's and Pippa's shirts. Then he pulls up a telescope to him]

Mr. Krabs: Now, pay attention, Squidward and Pippa. As new managers, you've gotta keep a sharp eye out for paying customers. [Looks through the telescope]

Squidward: Yawn.

Mr. Krabs: What's this? King Neptune is riding toward the Krusty Krab at lunchtime! He's got money!

[Outside, King Neptune gets out of his coach and closes the door on Mindy]

Neptune: Stay in the coach, daughter. [Gets out of the coach] This won't take long.

Mindy: Daddy, please, I think you're overreacting.

Neptune: Silence, Mindy! I know what I'm doing. [Turns around to leave, but bumps into the Krusty Krab sign pole] Ow! SQUIRE! [The Squire, who was with them in the coach, pops onto the scene]

Squire: Yes, Your Highness?

Neptune: Have this pole executed at once.

[Inside the Krusty Krab 2, Mr. Krabs is changing the price of the Krabby Patty]

Pippa: $101 for a Krabby Patty?

Mr. Krabs: With cheese, Mr. Squidward and Miss. Pippa, with cheese.

[Trumpet plays. Neptune comes into the Krusty Krab]

Neptune: [To the customers] Greeting, subjects. I seek the one known as Eugene Krabs. May he present himself to me at once.

Mr. Krabs: I'm Eugene Krabs, Your Highness. Would you like to order something?

Neptune: [lightning flashes] NAY!! I'M ON TO YOU, KRABS! YOU HAVE STOLEN THE ROYAL CROWN, YOU CANNOT DENY!! For, clever as you are, you left one damning piece of evidence at the scene... OF THE CRIME!!! [Holds up a piece of paper and shows it to Krabs]

Mr. Krabs: "I stole your crown. Signed, Eugene Krabs"?! [Eyes widen]

Neptune: Relinquish the royal crown to me AT ONCE.

Mr. Krabs: But... but this is crazy! I didn't do it.

Answering Machine: Ahoy, this is Eugene Krabs. Leave a message.

Clay: [Plankton begins impersonating a voice over the phone] Hi, Mr. Krabs. This is Clay, the guy you sold Neptune's crown to. Yeah, I just wanted to say thanks again for selling me the crown. Neptune's crown. [Mr. Krabs tries to stop the machine by breaking it but it continues to play] I sold it to a guy in Shell City, and I just wanted to say thanks again for selling me the crown. Neptune's crown. [Mr. Krabs rips the phone from the cord, but the phone still works for a brief moment] Which is now in Shell City. Goodbye.

Mr. Krabs: Heh, heh...i was...um...yeah...oho....eh....d-don't you just hate wrong numbers...?

Neptune: MY CROWN IS IN THE FORBIDDEN SHELL CITY!?! Ahhhhhh!

[Outside, we see that Plankton is behind it, holding the phone]

Plankton: Plan "Z". I love Plan "Z".

King Neptune: Wahhhhhhh! Prepare to burn, Krabs!

[He lights his trident on fire.]

Mr. Krabs: [sobbing] Wait, Neptune! Please, I'm beggin' ya...! I ain't a crook! Ask anyone, they'll vouch for me!

King Neptune: Very well, then. [The fire on his trident extinguishes.] Before I turn this conniving crustacean into fish meal, who here has anything to say about Eugene Krabs?

SpongeBob: [SpongeBob and Maddie are burping around and looking all drunk] I've got something to say about Mr... [burps] Krabs!

Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob and Maddie, me boy and girl, you've come just in time. Please, tell King Neptune all about me.
