SpongeBob: "Oh, sorry, Squidward. Just getting my patty rhythm on!" [Suddenly, Squidward pulls a lever in the corner of the kitchen, causing a hidden door to open. SpongeBob watches in curiosity.] SpongeBob: "Squidward, what on Bikini Bottom is that?" Squidward: "Hmph! It's none of your business, SpongeBob!"

There, SpongeBob discovers canisters labeled "Secret Ingredient."] SpongeBob: "Wow, a secret ingredient! Mr. Krabs must have forgotten to tell me about it!" [SpongeBob opens one of the containers labeled "Secret Ingredient" and finds it filled with chum.] SpongeBob: "Chum?! That can't be right. Mr. Krabs would never use something like this!"

No one will be the wiser." [SpongeBob secretly records the whole scene on his phone.] SpongeBob (whispering): "Gotcha!" [SpongeBob and Sandy confront Mr. Krabs in his office, presenting the evidence.] SpongeBob: "Mr. Krabs, we know your secret! You've been using chum as the secret ingredient."

[SpongeBob jumps into action, proposing a solution.] SpongeBob: "Let's give the customers a taste test with a new and improved Krabby Patty, without the chum!"
