1
As consort to the spirit world, I now commence this seance.
2
I shall invoke the specter of rusty rickets by reading from the sacred text.
3
Distilled vinegar, water, number one mustard seed,
4
salt, turmeric, paprika, natural flavors.
5
I now summon the spirit of Rusty Ricketts.
6
Know, too, that I beckon the spirit of Rusty's ribeye.
7
Rusty's ribeye!
8
Where's Rusty?
9
A curly sub.
10
Rusty Ricketts.
11
A big ghost?
12
I thought we were conjuring a rip roast.
13
I'm out of here.
14
I'll get help, buddy.
15
Just get me away from this freak.
16
He means freak in the nicest possible way.
17
All right, enough of this hocus pocus, Huey.
18
Time to put in some work.
19
Say, Rusty, how about spilling the beans on the old
20
Rusty on Rye recipe?
21
Oh, well, that was just gibberish.
22
Hmm, I got it.
23
How about you write down the recipe for the classic number nine?
24
Cloblets.
25
Oh, right, you're a ghost.
26
Hmm, what if you just showed me how you make one?
27
No, sir.
28
Whoa!
29
Gee, Rusty, quite a set -up he got here.
30
But where's all the sandwich bread, the condiments, the gold cuts?
31
Hello, platyps.
32
A rye sandwich carved entirely of driftwood?
33
Mama mia!
34
Speckle.
35
Shellac.
36
Still really hates.
37
Oh, you want me to try it?
38
Splash -to -blah -blah.
39
Okay.
40
Mmm, smells industrial.
41
I'm sure it's an acquired taste. Is that...?
42
Mmm.
43
It is a Rusty on Rye.
44
Gentlemen, get up here!
45
The number nine is back!
46
Hey, I didn't summon you guys.
47
No, the order of a number nine did.
48
Even from way down there.
49
Uh -oh, looks like we're running low on your lap.
50
I'll get some more.
51
Ah!
52
Boy, those guys sure can be terrifying.
53
You know, this little soiree couldn't have happened without old Rusty here.
54
Let's all give a ghastly howl for Rusty Ricketts.
55
All right, guys, I have to be a party pooper, but it's a little late for all this noise.
56
Time to wrap it up.
57
Ooh, Big Face doesn't want us as patrons anymore.
58
Maybe we should make like a tree and leave.
59
Ha -ha -ha!
60
Now, wait just a minute.
61
That is private property.
62
Maybe you guys should leave.
63
Oh, yeah?
64
Do I have to talk...?
65
Ew.
66
Ectoplasm.
67
Enough fooling around.
68
Let's have a good old time.
69
Like we used to.
70
You better have it.
71
Darn good reason for getting me out of bed, boy.
72
Isn't this great, Squidward?
73
There's never time to wash the ceiling during the day.
74
Open 24 hours a day.
75
What a stupid idea.
76
Who wants a Krabby Patty at 3 in the morning?
77
Oh boy, 3 a .m.
78
Just look at this place.
79
It's like a ghost town in here.
80
Very funny, SpongeBob.
81
What?
82
And the lights will flicker on and off, just like the story.
83
I get it.
84
Hey, Squidward.
85
How are you doing that without moving the switch?
86
I'm not doing it.
87
It must be the stupid, faulty wiring in here.
88
This place isn't built to run 24 hours a day.
89
What?
90
What?
91
Hello?
92
Hello?
93
Hello?
94
Nice try, Squidward.
95
Nice try what?
96
The phone will ring, and there'll be no one there.
97
Oh, you crack me up.
98
SpongeBob, I'm not doing this.
99
Calm down.
100
Calm down.
101
All right, what was it?
102
There was the lights and the phone
103
And the walls will ooze green slime
104
Oh wait, they always do that.
105
But what was that third thing?
106
I didn't know the bus is Ram is late.
107
They don't The sash -slinging!
108
The flash -slinging!
109
The flash -slinging!
110
The hash -slinging slasher! At last you understand.
111
We're doomed!
112
Nope, that's not it.
113
I am just so touched
114
that you would go to the trouble to dress up as a ghostly fry cook
115
and stand on the other side of the street just to entertain me.
116
You must really like me!
117
SpongeBob, there are two problems with your theory.
118
One, I hate you.
119
And two, how can that be me when I'm standing right here?
120
The hash -slinging splasher!
121
Get away from me!
122
Oh, he's gonna flip me!
123
Get away!
124
Get away!
125
Get away!
126
SpongeBob, no matter what I've said, I've always sort of liked you.
127
Squidward, I'll use your clarinet to unclog my toilet.
128
Huh?
129
Get out of here!
130
Get out of here!
131
Get out of here!
132
Get out of here!
133
Can I have a job application?
134
I brought my own spatula.
135
I called earlier, but I hung up because I was nervous.
136
Do you have references?
137
Wait!
138
If that was you on the phone and you on the bus, then who was flickering the lights?
139
Nosferatu!
140
Brian!
141
Open wire.
142
No!
143
Here comes the choo -choo.
144
No!
145
That's not so bad.
146
All original Krabby Patty, why did we forsake your perfect recipe?
147
Show down, SpongeBob!
148
No thanks.
149
I already ate, see?
150
Mama!
151
Mama!
152
Maybe I'll be safe in here till this all blows over.
153
Moments later.
154
This is Perch Perkins reporting live from the Krusty Krab, where I am one of three people still unaffected by this rabid patty pandemonium.
155
The second unaffected person is in this dumpster.
156
Care to comment, sir, on the chaos?
157
Perch Perkins, how did you know I was in here?
158
I was napping in this dumpster when you snuck in seeking refuge.
159
Terriga bite!

Who's the third person not affected?

and not a single customer has come through that door.
258
SpongeBob, what are you doing?
259
How are the customers supposed to get in now?
260
Those are customers out there, Plankton.
261
They're all Krabby Patty zombie monsters and they're forcing everybody to eat them.
262
You and I are the last two survivors.
263
Krabby Patty zombies?
264
I'll believe it when I see it.
265
Okay, I believe it!
266
Karen!
267
Unsume me.
268
No!
269
Hey! Have some.
270
No!
271
Wait!
272
I don't want... Have a slider!
273
Whoa!
274
Stay back!
275
I've got sparks!
276
Why do I feel better?
277
Oh, that's it!
278
Chum is the cure!
279
Oh, a patty!
280
Patrick!
281
No, eat Chum!
282
I'm struck!
283
What happened?
284
Yes!
285
Yes!
286
Maybe I should up the dosage. And three, two...
287
Wow, what a spread.
288
I don't know what to try first.
289
Oh, I can help you decide.
290
We have roasted werewolf teeth,
291
pickled demon beards, fried mummy fingers, and brain start time.
292
Ooh, don't mind if I do.
293
Or maybe you'd like something sinfully succulent.
294
Ooh, a Carpathian cheese ball.
295
Whoopsie, that's my dinner.
296
Come to Daddy!
297
Oh, you've got to try these mummy fingers, Squidward. So delicious!
298
Nosferatu, you simply must give me the recipe.
299
Hey.
300
Well, maybe if I put some ketchup on it.
301
Mm -hmm.
302
Ketchup?
303
Good thing I came prepared.
304
Catching up!
305
Hmm.
306
Ha -ha -ha!
307
Whoa, crazy!
308
Knows what I do?
309
Catch up?
310
Whoa!

This place gives me the creeps.
404
But so what?
405
It's only one night, right, SpongeBob?
406
Hmm.
407
Hmm.
408
Hmm.
409
Hmm.
410
Whoops!
411
Forgot to brush my teeth.
412
Whoops!
413
Forgot to floss.
414
Huh?
415
Huh?
416
Boy!
417
Forgot to wash my head!
418
Huh?
419
Whoops!
420
Forgot to polish my eyes!
421
Huh? Where you go?
422
Night -night time already!
423
Nosferatu?
424
Why are you sticking out of the wall like that?
425
Ah!
426
I can't believe Monsterati tried to bite me!
427
He's a real life f -f -f -f -f -fandire!
428
He's gonna suck out blood!
429
There's gotta be a way out of this castle!
430
I can show you a way out.
431
Sloppy Sleepy.
432
Let's drive these doors.
433

Ah!
446
Ah!
447
Ah!
448
Ah!
449
Ah!
450
It's our vampire's coffin!
451
We'll go around to do this!
452
Yay!
453
Ow!
454
Snap out of it, SpongeBob!
455
What if he bites our necks?
456
Oh, my nose!
457
Oh, I know what to do!
458
In those vampire movies, they always make wooden steaks!
459
That's a great idea!
460
Here!
461
Will these even work without steak sauce?
462
You shouldn't disturb the Master's laundry tomb.
463
He would be very cranky if he found you here and you never know where he might be.
464
He's right behind us, isn't he?
465
Mm -hmm.
466
Nope, nobody there.
467
We're fine.
468
Curse this curse and ghostly fog, I can barely see past me own nose.
469
Shrr!
470
Wah!

473

474
Oh!

Hey, the ship!
476
Hello, roadside assistant.
477
I've got a bit of a flat.
478
My location where I'll be staying?
479
Business or residence?
480
Residence.
481
I'm a flying dodgeman!
482
What are you doing in my house?
483
I'm stuck here while me ship is being repaired.
484
Till then, I'm here to haunt you!
485
Scrybird!
486
Scrybird!
487
Scrybird, help!
488
Help!
489
Help!
490
Help!
491
Squidward, you have to help me!
492
There's a.. a ghost in my house!
493
SpongeBob, how many times do I have to tell you I don't believe in ghosts and I never liked you?
494
Patrick!
495
Patrick!
496
Patrick!
497
Patrick!
498
Patrick, you gotta help me!
499
The flying ghost...
500
Gary!
501
Don't you dare hurt my little Gary!
502
Oh, I just wanted to pet the little guy.
503
There, there.
504
She's not gonna hurt you.
505
I love me a good snail.
506
Gary!
507
Nothing better than giving a good skill.
508
Ha -ha -ha -ha -ha!
509
It's OK, Gary.
510
Don't get too comfortable!
511
Good night, Gary.

Hi, guys!
539
You sure are popular.
540
I come here every night.
541
Hi, Patrick!
542
Long time no see, man!
543
Hi, Jennifer!
544
Hi, Chuck!
545
Good evening.
546
Oh!
547
Good news, Bush, sir.
548
Isopod fillet sprinkled with polyps on a bed of seagrass, drizzled with coral slime and just a soot -solve of algae.
549
Don't mind if I do.
550
Mmm.
551
Mmm.
552
Mmm, not bad.
553
Pardon me.
554
Sorry, buddy.
555
The night shift certainly attracts a different crowd.
556
Come over here, SpongeBob.
557
I want you to meet someone.
558
SpongeBob, this is Squidaman.
559
Good to meet you, Mr. Bob.
560
Oh, a pleasure, Madam Whizelle.
561
Ain't you a little charmer?
562
Ah, I am.
563
What you fixing to have, honey child?
564
One Krabby Patty, please.
565
A Krabby what?
566
We ain't got none of those, honey.
567
You don't serve Krabby Patties?
568
But we got lots of other tasty vittles.
569
Howling rings, sucker shakes, boogers, crawly fries.
570
Give us the works!
571
One great Pacific garbage patch!
572
Order up!
573
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
574
You gotta try a sucker shake.
575
Drink up, buddy!
576
The howling rings are a scream!
577
Ooh!
578
Different, but I like it!
579
Give the chef my compliments.
580
Why, tell him yourself, sweetie.
581
You got a visitor!
582
Come on back!
583
Hey there, night feeders!
584
Name's Barry Blobfish.
585
Good to know you.
586
Good to meet you, Barry.
587
I'm SpongeBob.
588
Yikes!
589
That's my...
590
Cookin' hands!
591
Sorry, use my spatula arm.
592
Here you go!
593
Mad train!
594
Oh, no, the midnight rush!
595
What am I gonna do?
596
Oh, if only there was a fry cook in the house!
597
Oh, I'm a certified fry cook!
598
Let's see, I'd have to clear it with the night manager.
599
Hey, boss!
600
Can this little fella here take over my shift tonight?
601
That's for our two!
602
You got the job, kid.
603
Hurray!
604
Phew, now I can pass out in peace.
605
Invisible Stan, let's get him to a hospital.
606
One -man fried cook coming through!
607
Hey, kids, you're grilling gear.
608
The crowd's getting restless.
609
Uh, yes, ma 'am.
610
Oh, Dad, you're embarrassing me again.
611
Hi, Squidward.
612
I mean, flying Dutchman.
613
Great party, huh?
614
What are you supposed to be?
615

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
