Fools In April

the episode begins with Denzia snoring and meowing]
Xerizero: Wake up, Denzia.
Denzia: [wakes up] Meow?
Xerizero: We're moving today!
Denzia: [quizzically] Meow?
Xerizero: That's right! We're leaving home. We're going to become peasants! [puts on a hat and mustache]
Denzia: Meow.
Xerizero: [He takes away Denzia's bowl] No more food. [gives Denzia a plate with clams on it] Sorry, Denzia. Peasants only eat mashed-up clamshells. [sprinkles some salt on the shells. Denzia starts crying] April Fools! [takes off the outfit and puts Denzia's food bowl back onto the floor] There ya go, pal!
Denzia: Meow. [eats]
Xerizero: [goes into the kitchen] Whew, I'm thirsty! [takes a big glass of lemonade out of the fridge] MALE VOICE: This is an extreme thirst! [sets the lemonade down on the floor; bubble transition to him putting all the lemonade into a lot of small glasses with umbrellas]
Xerizero: Whew, I'm exhausted. I sure can't wait to drink all of these drinks! April Fools! [holds up a mirror] To me! [laughs obnoxiously and walks outside and towards work. Ank sees him]
Ank: What's he so happy about? [walks by the calendar and notices it's April Fools Day. He panics] April 1st? [screams] April Fools Day is Xerizero's favorite holiday! [puts a heating pad on his head and dials the number for the Krusty Kat] Ms. Kit, I can't come in today. I caught something terrible.
Ms. Kit: [over phone] What'd you catch?
Ank: I caught sight of the calendar.
Ms. Kit: Oh, hold on Ank, there's someone here to see you. He says he's from the Barnacle Bay Art Museum and he wants to honor you as artist of the month.
[Ank runs to the Krusty Kat with an artist uniform on]
Ank: I have arrived. [Xerizero and Ms. Kit laugh] What's so funny? Where's the art dealer?
[Xerizero and Ms. Kit laugh more]
Ms. Kit: You just missed him.
Xerizero: Yeah, but he told us to tell you...
Ank: Tell me what?
Xerizero: [whispers into Ank's ear] He told me to tell you...April Fools.
Ank: [lays his hat on the table] Well, it's been nice working here. [he walks off] Thanks for everything, Ms. Kit.
Xerizero: Ank, wait!
Ank: Just send my last check to the P.O. box, Ms. Kit!
Xerizero: Wait, Ank! [grabs Ank's legs] It was just a joke! No more jokes on you today, I promise!
Ank: You do?
Xerizero: Sure, there are lots of other willing participants. Right, Ms. Kit?
[Ms. Kit sits on a whoopee cushion and it "farts". Xerizero laughs]
Ank: Well, as long as it's not me.
[bubble transition to Xerizero carrying a tray of burger patties when an old lady comes by]
Sapphire: Excuse me, could you tell me where the forks are?
Xerizero: Sure! They're right here, lady! [leads her to the utensils]
Sapphire: [picks up a spoon] But this is a spoon.
Xerizero: April Fools! [laughs; Ank stares at Xerizero and he runs away. Bubble transition to Xerizero behind the register. A customer comes up to him] Welcome to the Krusty Kat. How may I help you?
Dante: [raises up his left arm] Yeah, give me two large fries and a Jumbo Kitty Patty.
Xerizero: [points at something] Hey, what's that?
[Dante turns around. Xerizero turns around and has a smiley face on his back]
Dante: Well, I didn't see anything. [notices that Xerizero is gone] Hey, where'd that other guy go?
[Xerizero turns around]
Xerizero: April Fools! I'm right here!
Dante: [laughs] Hey, that was pretty good.
[Xerizero laughs obnoxiously. Ank notices Xerizero behind the register]
Ank: What are you doing behind the counter?
[Bubble transition to Xerizero wiping the floor. Tiamat comes by with a cup of soda]
Tiamat: Excuse me, can I get a couple of ice cubes in here, please?
Xerizero: Sure! A couple of ice cubes coming up! [fills the cup with ice and comes back whistling] Here you go.
Tiamat: Thanks. [she takes a sip of her drink. Xerizero titters and Tiamat looks at him but Xerizero stops before Tiamat turns around] Huh? [Xerizero is silent, so Tiamat takes another sip of his drink. Xerizero starts giggling again and then Tiamat turns around and looks at him, but Xerizero stops before she turns around] Huh? [Xerizero is silent, so Tiamat finishes her drink] Ah.
Xerizero: [laughs loudly and obnoxiously] April Fools! [Tiamat grabs Xerizero by the collar, suddenly panicked]
Tiamat: What did you do to my drink?!
Xerizero: I... [giggles] I... [giggles]
Tiamat: You what?!?!
Xerizero: You asked for a couple of ice cubes in your drink, and I only put in one! [laughs]
Tiamat: I guess that is pretty funny. [laughs as he walks off]
Xerizero: [laughs so hard his tongue pops off] Hey, your shoes untied. [tongue looks down] April Fools! You're not wearing shoes! [laughs and hugs his tongue, which smiles. Then they laugh into the microphone. Everyone hears it. In the kitchen, Ank tries to mute the sound with tissues but he can still hear it] April Fools! [Ank drops a plate]
Ank: That does it! Xerizero and his stupid pranks! I'm going to show him what a real prank is all about! [bubble transition to him squirting some mustard inside a rope circle then he chuckles and shows Xerizero the mess]
Xerizero: Oh boy! Something for me to clean up! [starts cleaning it and Ank is standing next to a rope which he is about to cut]
Ank: April Fools! [laughs as he cuts the rope which grabs Xerizero]
Xerizero: Whooooooooooooooooooooooooa! [the rope sends him into a bag of flour. Ank is laughing through all of this. Then Xerizero is taken around a bar] Whoa! Blblblblblblblblblblblbl... [screams as he is sent into a wall]
All except Ank: Oh, no.
[Anks eyes pop out as he laughs. Xerizero screams and flies into Bubble Jax's rear]
Xerizero: Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! [we see Ank cheerleading, laughing, and jumping into the air. Then Xerizero smashes into the ceiling]
Ank: [runs and holds out his arms to catch Xerizero] Ill catch you, Xerizero! [he giggles to himself. Xerizero screams and almost lands in Ank's arms, but before he does, Ank sets out a garbage can in front of him, and Xerizero falls into the goop in the garbage can] Whoops. [dumps Xerizero, who is now the shape of the can, out of the garbage can] April Fools, you little sausage! [he laughs. Xerizero cries hysterically and runs out of the Krusty Kat] Xerizero! I was just kidding! Cmon, cmon. You all know I was just kidding… right?
Kaj: Aww, man, poor kid.
Danielle: That guy has definitely got some issues to work out. [Everyone leaves]
Tiamat: April Fools, jerk.
Ank: Wait, don't go!
Man: Hey, you stink!
Ank: Wait, wait, it was a joke! [looks around at the mess he has made of Xerizero and gets angry with himself] Why is it whenever I'm having fun, it's wrong? I didn't mean to make him cry. I guess this means I'd better tell Xerizero I'm sor-eaach. [makes silly face] Huh? I guess this means I'd better apolo- [throat goes haywire] gii! This is gonna be tougher than I thought. [bubble transition to Ank going to Xerizero's pineapple. He knocks on Xerizero's door] Xerizero? Uh, Xerizero, come out! I've got something to tell you! Xerizero? [notices a Krusty Kat hat and goes over there to talk the man who is wearing it] Uhh, I was thinking about today and uh… and it just seems that I may owe you some sort of… This isn't something I normally do so, listen carefully Xerizero, because I am about to tell you that I am... [notices that the guy with the hat on is Jack] Jack? What are you doing here?
Jack: Digging.
Ank: Why are you wearing that hat?
Jack: Hmm, I don't know. [takes off the hat]
Ank: [growls] Where's Xerizero?
Jack: He's in the house. He's impressed.
Ank: With what?
Jack: I don't know but it must have been pretty good to make him cry like that.
Ank: [shivers then goes back to Xerizero's house] Xerizero, Xerizero, let me in there! [tries to turn the handle but Xerizero's arm comes from under the door and pulls it inside. Ank grabs his clarinet] Xerizero, you'd better let me in there! I don't want to have to use this! [plays clarinet horribly. Xerizero opens the door]
Xerizero: What do you want?
Ank: Xerizero, I just wanted to say that I'm sorr-yyyy. [sticks out tongue while talking]
Xerizero: What?
Ank: I'm trying to say I'm [turns into a donkey and starts braying] hee-haw-hee-haw!
Xerizero: What?
Ank: I'm just trying to say that I'm... [head explodes] There's gotta be an easier way to do this. [bubble transition to Ank writing a note. He puts it in a bottle and rolls it to Xerizero where he picks it up] Well, arent you going to open it?
Xerizero: I cant, I don't have a bottle opener. [Ank hands Xerizero a can and Ank drives to the other side of the road]
Ank: Xerizero, I'm... [whispers into the can. Puts the can up to his ear but hears some sort of noise. Jack is flossing his teeth. Ank throws the binoculars down on the ground] Xerizero, all I am trying to say is that I am... [waves tentacles in the air and bubbles form. Puts a big bubble on his head and then talks] ...sorry. [pops the bubble] There you go.
Xerizero: But I couldn't... [Ank slams door in his face]
Ank: I don't care! I said it! My conscience is clear! [walks away. Then an image of Jack appears in the air]
Jack: It must have been pretty good to make him cry like that. [Squid continues walking and runs into a ghost image on a guy at the restaurant]
Tiamat: April Fools, jerk. [runs again but this time his mother appears]
Squid's Mom: [man voice] You stink!
Ank: Mother? [runs back to Xerizero's house to apologize] All right, all right! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I admit it, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you, in fact, I like you! I like living next door, I like your foghorn alarm in the morning and your high-pitched giggling at night! I also like Denzia, Jack, Cassandra, Ms. Kit, and all the other people I'm forced to be in contact with! And, and, and... [Xerizero opens the door slightly]
Xerizero: Ank! Is all that true?
Ank: Yes, Xerizero. Yes, it's all true.
Xerizero: Even the part about the lima beans and the car chase?
Ank: What the...? Yes, whatever! But you have to promise not to tell anybody.
Xerizero: I promise.
Ank: Really? [Sponge opens the door all the way, revealing the citizens of Bikini Bottom inside]
All: April Fools!
Ank: [twitches eye] April Fools! You're right, April Fools! I just fooled you all! [laughs hysterically while going back into his house]
Xerizero: What would we do without Ank?
