Hello?
Animal Control?
SpongeBob, I appreciate you volunteering here at the animal shelter, but could you please stop letting the worms use the phone?
Oh, I told them no more take-out calls.
Now, how can I help you?
There's a worm somewhere outside my house, and it won't stop barking.
I'll get on that right away.
I gotta go catch a stray.
SpongeBob, you hold down the fort.
Sir, yes, sir!
I will take care of these wild worms to the best of my ability.
I'm fudgling.
Ah!
Uh-oh!
Butcher's cage!
Butcher, I know you're really a good boy.
Just let me pet ya.
Real gentle.
Atta boy.
I hope he doesn't develop a taste for sponge.
Gotcha!
Yeah!
Who's a good boy?
Patrick's my friend.
Sometimes if he's eaten worm food by mistake, he goes into worm mode.
There's no telling how long it'll last.
Well, if he's not trained in a few days so he can be adopted, he'll have to be locked up, like Butcher.
Don't worry, sir.
I'll train him.
He's already housebroken.
I knew he was broken.
I thought it was house.
Now, Patrick, every good worm needs to learn how to do tricks.
Then they get Wormy Treats as a reward.
Set... Um, almost.
Let's try another one.
Shake.
Shall we try a rollover?
Rolling Star Express, right on time.
I know one wormy that needs a bath.
Okay, okay, go back, go back.
Here, Patrick.
Worms like other worms.
I'll show you how to be a good boy.
One hour later.
Huh?
This worm is a menace.
I'm afraid he'll have to be locked up, like Butch is.
Please don't do that.
I'll adopt him.
I'll take him home.
He'll be my rescue.
And you'll take full responsibility for him?
I promise.
Well, that's good.
I really didn't want to have to fix him anyway.
Thank you.
Wow Boy, help!
Sorry.
Oh, Gary, I brought you a playmate.
Meow.
Ruff, ruff, ruff.
Meow.
Ruff, ruff.
Ruff, ruff, ruff.
Gary, no.
Stop.
Ruff, ruff, ruff.
Meow.
Ruff, ruff, ruff.
Spongebob!
I'm sorry, was the noise bothering you?
Patrick, heal!
Look, I don't care what kind of weird and stupid parties you throw, I'm just asking that you keep your pet quiet!
I am at my wit's end.
Patrick is in worm mode again, but this time he's out of control.
Oh, any worm can be tamed, even one as dumb as Patrick.
He just needs tough love.
Would you tough love Patrick, Squidward?
No way!
Please, Squidward.
I bet you're the best worm trainer ever.
Please?
Beg me.
Love?
Okay, sit.
Huh?
Well, I'm a good idiot trainer.
And since Patrick's an idiot, okay, I'll train him.
But only if you play dead.
And stay playing dead.
I've got an idiot to train.
We'll start with something simple.
I'll teach you how to heal.
Now, be a good boy.
All right, that's it!
Analyze light.
Hi, Squidward.
I'm still playing dead.
Nah.
Tough love.
This, my little barking friend, is a shock collar.
Whenever you bark, I'll push this button and give you a mild tough love shock.
Nothing?
Oh, it must be broken.
Ah, nuts!
Ah!
I'm still playing dad!
Excuse me, Mr. Squidward.
SpongeBob tells me that you've trained Patrick using tough love.
Patrick?
He's impossible!
I tried to get him to sit.
Okay, well, then I tried to get him to beg, and he... Spin.
Now shake.
Cheerleader split.
Chicken.
Chicken nugget.
Air guitar.
Now, play dead.
What?
You did it!
You're a miracle worker!
Well, I don't like to brag, but... That's great!
We've got a problem worm that needs training.
What?
Bring him in, fellas!
Say hello to Butchie.
Hey, you're not a worm anymore.
No, I snapped out of it hours ago.
I just wanted Squidward to feel like he did a good job.
Yeah, I hope Squidward's not too tough on him.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Nice day for a walk.
