This article is a transcript of the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Rodeo Daze" from season 7, which aired on February 6, 2010.

• French Narrator: Ah, the eternal expanse of the deep sea. Teeming with fantastic creatures. Uh, teeming… I'm sure they're around here somewhere. Aha! [zooms in on a rock with bugs on it] Oh, that's a rock. Where is everybody? [screams] [SpongeBob is right there, and he scared the narrator] Oh, it is just SpongeBob. Watch and witness one of the rarest and mysterious rituals of the deep, the staring contest. [SpongeBob and Patrick are having a staring contest]
• SpongeBob: [his eyes get watery and he finally blinks] Patrick, wow!
• Patrick: What?
• SpongeBob: You are the best starer I've ever stared at!
• Patrick: Oh, staring contest! I thought it was a blinking contest and I was losing.
• SpongeBob: [There is a sound like something is falling] Hark, Patrick. Do you hear something? [A message in a bottle falls on SpongeBob's head, and SpongeBob falls down] Oh! [reads the note tied to the bottle] Hmm, it's a letter for Sandy, all the way from Texas. We better deliver it!
• [Scene cuts to Sandy's treedome]
• SpongeBob: Sandy! [tries to open Sandy's door, but it doesn't open] Oh, it's not opening!
• Patrick: Hey, SpongeBob! I have something that might help. [pulls out a book called How to Open Things]
• SpongeBob: How to open things. Brilliant, Patrick! I saw the movie, but I never read the book.
• Patrick: Uh, ok. [flips through the pages] Garbage cans. No. Jar. No. Box. No. Sandy's door! Twist to the left.
• SpongeBob: Oh! I was twisting to the right.
• Patrick: A common mistake, my good friend. [puts away the book] Allow me. [does some warm up exercises] Okay, time to open this.
• Sandy: [kicks her door open] Hi-yah! Trying to ninja sneak attack? Hi-yah! Hi-yah! [kicks Patrick up in the air, and she hits SpongeBob, causing the note in the bottle on SpongeBob's head to fall out] Well, you're still no match for my squirrel-fu! [grabs the note and reads it] It's a letter from my twin brother, Randy!
• SpongeBob: [Patrick falls on SpongeBob] Oh!
• Sandy: [SpongeBob and Patrick get into Sandy's suit] Do you mind?
• SpongeBob: Not at all. Read on.
• Patrick: Doesn't bother me.
• Sandy: Get out of my suit! [SpongeBob and Patrick are flushed out of Sandy's suit] Well, golly! Randy says the rodeo's come to town. I’ve got to head back to Texas and defend my championship title!
• SpongeBob: Championship title? For what?
• Sandy: You got cotton in your ears?
• Patrick: [looks in SpongeBob's ear] Hmm, no. It's not cotton. It’s actually an old moldy piece of Krabby Patty. [eats the Krabby Patty] Mmm.
• SpongeBob: [holds a jellyfish net] Is your championship title for jellyfishing?
• Sandy: No.
• SpongeBob: Karate? [hits Patrick in the face]
• Sandy: No!
• SpongeBob: [he and Patrick are now wearing white coats and glasses, and Patrick is holding a mini volcano] Perhaps the science fair, then.
• Sandy: No. It's my rodeo championship on the line.
• SpongeBob: Rodeo? What does rodeo mean?
• Sandy: ♪Critters that you gotta wrangle.♪ [pulls out a lasso and lassos SpongeBob and Patrick] ♪Cowboy suits with purty spangles.♪ [now wearing spangles on her suit and she is wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat] ♪Boots with spurs that jingle jangle, that's a rodeo. Tight blue jeans you gotta squeeze in, but they sure look mighty pleasin'!♪ [gives Patrick a wedgie by putting some jeans on him.] ♪Big belt buckles are always in season!♪ [SpongeBob is wearing a big belt buckle] ♪That's a rodeo.♪

Tractor pulls and big old bulls.♪ [she, SpongeBob and Patrick are on a tractor and then a bull] ♪Line dancin', horses prancin'!♪ [There are a bunch of squirrels line dancing, and then there is a horse in a tutu prancing] ♪Barrel racin', bareback ridin'!♪ [she, SpongeBob and Patrick are sitting on a barrel and then a horse] ♪Bronco bustin', aluminium sidin'.♪ [The horse bucks SpongeBob and Patrick off and onto barn doors] ♪That’s a rodeo.♪

• SpongeBob: Clowns? [grabs onto Sandy] Don't go, Sandy! It's too risky!
• Sandy: [pushes SpongeBob away] I must! It's my duty! [her suit turns into a rocket and Sandy rockets out of the water]
• SpongeBob: Oh, this is terrible! We can't let Sandy go all alone! It's too dangerous up there, right Patrick?
• Patrick: Eh, I'm indifferent.
• SpongeBob: How could we live with ourselves if Sandy got hurt, and we weren’t there to help? Why, I wouldn't be able to look at myself.
• Patrick: Look at yourself? How do you do that? [spins around, trying to look at himself]
• SpongeBob: Patrick! This is no time for silly games! Sandy needs us. You understand? Patrick? Patrick!
• Patrick: [runs away, thinking about the wedgie] No more tight jeans!
• SpongeBob: Oh, I'm sure someone else will help me.
• [Scene cuts to Mr. Krabs' office in The Krusty Krab]
• SpongeBob: So there you have it, Mr. Krabs. Sandy really needs our help.
• Mr. Krabs: Okay, explain it to me again, but this time, take out anything that doesn't have to do with money. Uh-huh, that's what I thought. [walks away]
• SpongeBob: [sighs] I need to find someone with compassion. Someone who selflessly helps others, with no concern for his own safety. I need…a hero.
• [Scene cuts to Squidward's front yard, where Squidward is sunbathing]
• SpongeBob: Oh, Squidward! Sandy is in terrible trouble. You've got to help me save her!
• Squidward: Oh, no! Sally's in trouble!
• SpongeBob: Uh, Sandy.
• Squidward: Don't worry, SpongeBob. Just wait right here. [walks towards his house] I'll get my emergency squirrel rescue kit!
• SpongeBob: Right-o, Mr. Tentacles, sir!
• Squidward: Just don't panic! [goes in his house and slams the door, then he climbs out the back window and walks away]
• SpongeBob: Oh, uh, well, there's one last person I can ask.
• [Scene cuts to the Chum Bucket]
• SpongeBob: [bangs on the door] Plankton!
• Plankton: [opens the door and comes out] What?
• SpongeBob: Sandy's in trouble. I need help rescuing her.
• Plankton: [gets some dynamite with a timer on it] I'm kind of busy right now.
• SpongeBob: Jeepers, it'll only take a minute.
• Plankton: Yeah, uh, I'd love to help, but I really got to go. [picks up the dynamite and carries it towards the Krusty Krab, and the dynamite blows up before Plankton gets to the Krusty Krab] Ouch.
• SpongeBob: Ugh. Well, I'm going to go save Sandy, whether anyone wants to help or not.
• [Scene cuts to SpongeBob's room]
• SpongeBob: [packs his suitcase] I guess it's just you and me, Gary. [tries to pack Gary, but he doesn't let go of the floor] Let's go. Gary the snail! Do you plan on staying here while Sandy is possibly in trouble somewhere up there?
• Gary: Meow meow meow?
• SpongeBob: She's the squirrel.
• Gary: Meow?
• SpongeBob: No, brown. Gary, what does that have to do-[Gary leaves] You too, huh? Well, we'll see about that! [pulls out some bubble soap. Scene changes to nighttime]
• SpongeBob: [opens his bubble soap and blows a bubble to capture Gary. Scene cuts to Squidward's front yard]
• SpongeBob: [blows a bubble that goes in Squidward’s window, and captures Squidward, then SpongeBob blows a bubble that goes in Patrick's house and captures Patrick]
• Patrick: Eh, pudding.
• [Scene cuts to Mr. Krabs’ house, where a bubble is blown to capture Mr. Krabs. Scene cuts to Bikini Bottom, where a lot of Bikini Bottomites are captured by bubbles. Scene cuts to SpongeBob's house, where everyone that was captured by bubbles is]
• SpongeBob: [blows a bubble capturing his alarm clock which goes off, popping all the bubbles]
• Everyone inside a bubble: [screaming]
• SpongeBob: Good morning!
• Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob! What's the meaning of this?
• SpongeBob: Sandy's in trouble, and I need all of your help to save her from the horrors of the rodeo! There are clowns there!
• Squidward: SpongeBob, the next time you 'invite' me to one of your slumber parties, I'm calling the cops! [walks outside, and he falls because SpongeBob’s house is also in a bubble] [screams] Arrgh, Arrgh, oh, oh. What the? SpongeBob!
• SpongeBob: [falls beside Squidward] Oh. Yes, Squidward?
• Everyone who was trapped in a bubble, except Squidward: [walk outside, and they fall as well and scream as the bubble comes out of the water and goes to Texas]
• Mr. Krabs: Where the devil are we?
• SpongeBob: It's... Texas.
• Everyone in the bubble: [screaming]
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: What's that, boy? You see Sandy?
• Gary: Meow.
• SpongeBob: And she's…riding a bullfrog?
• Sandy: [riding a bullfrog] Yee-haw!
• SpongeBob: Ahoy, Sandy!
• Sandy: Huh?
• Frog: Ribbit! [bucks Sandy off]
• Sandy: Ow! Gall darn it! You sea slickers made me lose the rodeo. Why are you here, anyways?
• SpongeBob: To help save you from this rodeo thing!
• Sandy: I don't need to be saved! [gasps] Watch out! That old bullfrog’s got a flea on his flanks, and he's comin' right at ya!
• Bullfrog: Ribbit, ribbit!
• Everyone in the bubble: [screaming as the bullfrog approaches the bubble. When the bubble pops, everyone looks like real sea creatures when they land]
• Bullfrog: Ribbit.
• Patrick: Did we save Sandy?
• SpongeBob: No, Patrick. We didn't.
• Mr. Krabs: Did we make any money?
• Gary: Meow.
• Sandy: Aw, cactus! That ol' bullfrog's got SpongeBob! Hang on, old buddy! [lassos SpongeBob away from the bullfrog as the crowd cheers] Next time, leave the rodeos to me.
• SpongeBob: Aw, nuts. [The screen does an iris out to end the episode.]
