[SpongeBob pulls the covers over him with his feet sticking out. He then wiggles his feet, making the boots squeak one more time before going to sleep. Elliott snuggles into his sleeping bag and goes to sleep as well. As SpongeBob is sleeping with his boots on, Mister Krabs peeks over his diving board and climbs down. He sees the boots, which inflate and deflate with SpongeBob's snoring pattern, and takes the boots off his feet, before running to the Krusty Krab, laughing quietly as he runs back. Some hammering sounds are heard, possibly indicating that he hid them somewhere. The next morning, a rooster crows, and Mister Krabs is sniffing his money.]

Mr. Krabs: Ah, quiet money. [Satisfyingly sniffing a handful of money] Silence and money.

[SpongeBob suddenly bursts through the double doors, tearfully; Elliott is right behind him.]

SpongeBob: Mister Krabs, something awful happened last night!

Mr. Krabs: What is it, my boys?

Elliott: Someone broke into our house and stole the boots you gave to him.

Mr. Krabs: [Feigning surprise] W-What?!

SpongeBob: [Crying, while looking at the ground] Oh, Mister Krabs, I'm sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I'm sorry!

Mr. Krabs: It's okay, son.

SpongeBob: [Cries harder and looks up at his boss with tears streaming down his face] No, it's not okay! I lost the boots! Your valuable boots! It's my fault! I let you down! Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Ohh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Mr. Krabs: Hold it, boy! It's not the end of the world.

SpongeBob: Yes, it is! I lost something so valuable!

Mr. Krabs: Look, don't cry. I got some... uhh... [Holds up some oven mitts] ...some magic oven mitts!

SpongeBob: [Puts them on his feet and looks at them for a second... but he kicks them off in frustration] They're not the same! [Walks away] You were right. I wasn't ready for those blessed boots. [Bumps into the doorframe, before going into the kitchen]

Mr. Krabs: Poor lad. [Looks through the window and sees that SpongeBob is so upset, that he has his head down right on top of the hot grill, prompting Elliott to go into the kitchen to comfort his housemate]

Incidental 6: [Taps Mister Krabs twice on the shoulder, as if feeling concerned about him upsetting SpongeBob] Excuse me?

Mr. Krabs: [Startled] I didn't do it! [Sees Incidental 6] Oh. [Chuckles nervously] Can I help ya?

Incidental 6: Yeah, I'm ready to order.

Mr. Krabs: Okay. [Takes out a pen and notepad] What'll ya have?

Incidental 6: I'll take a [Squeak-Squeak].

Mr. Krabs: [Becomes surprised upon hearing the squeaking] What did you say?!

Incidental 6: I said, I'll take a [Squeak].

Mr. Krabs: Huh?

SpongeBob: [Stick his head out the order window, still in tears] D-Don't worry. I heard his order, Mister Krabs. He says he wants [Squeak-Squeak].

Mr. Krabs: What?

Incidental 6: And a [Squeak-Squeak-Squeak-Squeak].

Mr. Krabs: Huh?!

[Mister Krabs starts going insane, imagining everything and everyone squeaking.]

Mr. Krabs: Huh? [More squeaking] What?! [Yet more squeaking] Huh?

[He sees "Squeak" as an item for everything. He looks at a clock with labels "Squeaky" and "Squeak", continuously ticking squeakfily.]

Mr. Krabs: [Scared] What the-!?

[Mister Krabs keeps thinking and hearing the squeaks. He then sees a distorted menu with items that only read "Squeak" multiple times. His eyes now start becoming red, visibly showing red vessels.]

Mr. Krabs: I didn't write that! [Utters a scared sound as the squeaking gets louder] Huh?!

[Mister Krabs recalls the squeaking from SpongeBob and Incidental 6.]

Mr. Krabs: Who said that? Whaza...?!

[Mister Krabs continues to see distorted memories that keep squeaking. The entire screen gets bleached out as if to depict extreme insanity. He gets paranoia from a dripping kitchen sink.]

Mr. Krabs: [Scared] What?!

[He even imagines the dripping kitchen sink makes squeaking sounds instead of dripping sounds. He continues to see distorted memories that keep squeaking. Eventually, he starts seeing visions of SpongeBob and his boots.]

SpongeBob: [In Mr. Krabs' head] Could "The world's greatest fry cook" do this?... And this, and this, and this, and this, and this, and this...

[Mister Krabs' eye starts swirling as he imagines him speaking, engulfing his own sight with a blur of items orbiting inside his view, including the boots themselves. Back in the real world, Elliott approaches Mister Krabs out of concern.]

Elliott: Uh... Mister Krabs? [No reply comes from the spaced-out Mister Krabs. So, he reaches out.] Are you okay? [Taps his boss' shoulder]

Mr. Krabs: [Snaps] STOP IT! [Elliott and two customers get startled by his scream] STOP IIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!! [His eyes start contorting] Oh! Oh! Don't you hear it?!

[A few other customers in the corner had also witnessed the scene, looking at Mister Krabs like he's crazy, while one of them blinks. Even SpongeBob is concerned. But then, Elliott realizes something.]

Elliott: Wait a second. Did you break into our house last night?!

Mr. Krabs: Yes, I did it!

SpongeBob: Wha...?!

Mr. Krabs: I did it! [Appears mentally insane] I took the boots! They're here! Under the floorboards! [Sobbing dramatically] Oh, please! Make it stop! It's the squeaking of the hideous boots! [Throws himself onto the floor and bawls] I'm sorry! But I can't take the in... [Lifts up the entire Krusty Krab and grabs the boots, with everyone screaming inside] ...fernal squeakin' no more! [Sees and grabs the ghastly boots, with his pupils forming an X, and lets go of the entire Krusty Krab]

[Mister Krabs runs into the kitchen with an evil expression on his face and puts the boots into a vat of grease, which shrinks them.]

Elliott: [Gets up] Ugh... What a mess. Glad Squidward isn't here.

[Mister Krabs eats the boots offscreen, before exiting the kitchen and finally letting out a long burp.]

Mr. Krabs: [Calm] There. The deed is done.

SpongeBob: [Confused] Umm... Why did you eat the boots, Mister Krabs?

Mr. Krabs: Because, lad, you didn't need 'em. It's not the boots, it's the boot-ee. [Stammers] I mean, uh, the person... in the boots. You're already a great fry cook.

SpongeBob: You really think so, Mr. Krabs?

Mr. Krabs: I do, son. [Hands the boys a stack of money] Here's the paycheck I owe you. [Puts another stack of money on top of the first stack] Plus a bonus! [Realizes something and takes the second stack of money] Actually, I... need this portion. [Walks away] I'm gonna need it for a vacation.

SpongeBob: [Waving] Bye, Mister Krabs!

[Fade to the Krabs Family taking a drive out, with a campervan behind their boat.]

Mr. Krabs: Ah, a long week away from Bikini Bottom is exactly what I need, just me and my darling daughter, Pearl.

Pearl: [Lifts her feet over the side of the door to reveal her new shoes, the ones she anticipated at the start] Don't forget my new flipper slippers, Daddy!

Mr. Krabs: Darling, I won't. [Laughs heartedly. Suddenly, he hiccups and a squeaky noise comes out, concerning Pearl.] Oh, no!

Pearl: Oh, boy. This could take a while.

Mr. Krabs: Ya think?

[Mister Krabs continues to hiccup and squeak as they drive off into the distance and the episode ends.]
