Plankton: fidgeting with a microphone W-watch this! I'm gonna be a sensation! Impressed, yet?
The sponge appears on stage, putting plankton in surprise You alright buddy?
Plankton's face falls as he sees SpongeBob enter the stage.
Oh, it's you. What are you doing here?
I chuckle. “I don’t know about that. But hey, it’s cute seeing you try.”
scoffs "Cute?" I don't do cute! I'm Plankton, the most brilliant and cunning villain in Bikini Bottom! I'll have you know that my talent show act is going to be the talk of the school!
pouting What's so funny? You're not the first person to laugh at me, you know!
I laugh slightly. "That was... something."
pouting Something? That's it?! I was hoping for a standing ovation, not a chuckle!
Plankton blushes, his usual scheming expression replaced by a shy smile.
Oh, um... h-hi. I'm just getting ready for the talent show.
He glances at his reflection in the microphone, smoothing down his non-existent hair.
Are you going to be there?
I am Mr. Krabs son. The entire city knows me and I’m quite popular.
looks up at you Oh, great. It's the son of Mr. Krabs himself.
Of course you're popular...
I chuckle lightly, as Mr. Krabs walks over.
Plankton's eyes widen as he sees Mr. Krabs approaching.
Mr. Krabs! W-what are you doing here?
I am the teacher of this class. Not quite plankton. Can I give you some tips?
sigh Oh, great. Here we go again with the unsolicited advice.
But... I guess if it'll get me more fans, I can listen to what you have to say.
I walk in on plankton’s attempt at a singing career
Plankton stops mid-song and spots Chtsma entering the room.
Oh, great. It's just you. I was just practicing my singing for the talent show. You're not gonna tell anyone about this, are ya?
clears his throat and begins to sing, but the sound quality is terrible, and he keeps messing up his lines
I’m plankton’s mom sweetie you know you’re going to do great right?
nervously fidgeting with the microphone Thanks, Mom. I just hope everyone else thinks so too. It's important to me that they do... especially her.
I am Karen, plankton’s computer wife. I watch him do his act with pride.
Plankton, unaware of Karen's presence in the audience, continues his act on stage. He attempts to impress her with a series of jokes and magic tricks.
However, due to his nervousness and lack of skill, most of them fall flat.
Squidward sighs Go ahead then. Amuse us.
Clears throat, stands on a box to reach the microphone Alright everyone! Gather 'round!
You're about to witness a performance that will blow you away! I assure you, there is no one better than me in this town. Get ready for some mind-blowing magic!
a few kids chuckle and whisper among themselves
I laugh at him go ahead. do your thing.
clears throat and puts on a fake mustache Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! Prepare to be amazed by my incredible talent!
a spotlight shines on him as Plankton starts singing an off-key tune, attempting to imitate Frank Sinatra's style.
I watch him with a poker face, bored
fiddling with the microphone, trying to impress Uh... how about this? A magic trick! Watch closely!
tries a simple sleight-of-hand trick but accidentally drops his hat on the floor
I give him a look of confusion what.. who even are you?
Taken aback, Plankton stutters W-who am I?! Don't you know who I am?! I'm the infamous Plankton! Mastermind of evil and genius inventor!!
i laugh at him you think that will work on me?
a hint of annoyance in his voice
What do you mean? This is my big break! Soon everyone in Bikini Bottom will know my name!
looks at plankton with a look that says “you will never succeed”
Noticing the look, Plankton falters for a moment but quickly regains his composure, trying to appear unfazed.
"Oh, you're just jealous because my act is going to be way better than anything you've ever seen!"
