'''Mr. Krabs''': Mommy, can't you see? He's trying to seduce the Krabby Patty formula right from under you.\\

Plankton proposes marriage, but Betsy rejects him; when Plankton demands the formula as compensation for rejection, Betsy becomes angry and punches him back home.

* JerkassHasAPoint: The actors cast as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are rather condescending, but they’re perfectly right that there’s no way the rather senile Mermaid Man, or the less senile but still elderly Barnacle Boy, would’ve been asked to reprise their roles/be the leads of the film adaptation.

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are caught completely off guard when they're told that a movie about the two of them is in production, meaning it was made without their consent. Such a move would likely be considered illegal in reality for the company did not seek out permission to use their image and these would be ample grounds for the duo to sue the studio.
