[edit] Dialogue
(a pink starfish in a suit walks up and knocks on Patrick's rock)
Patrick: (opens rock) Yeah?
Starfish: Good day, sir. I am...
Patrick: (gasps) I know exactly who you are! (closes rock. Cut to SpongeBob at his house, watching television with Gary)
SpongeBob: Ah, there's nothing like spending quality time with my Gar-Gar.
Lady on TV: Jason, I have to be honest. There's someone else. (grabs an elderly fish)
Man on TV: Grandpa?!
Patrick: (busts his head out of the TV screen) SpongeBob, help! He's onto me! I don't have much time! (makes a fire in SpongeBob's living room and burns some of his books)
SpongeBob: Patrick, what are you doing?
Patrick: I have to get rid of these books! (holds up a book named How To Read and burns it)
SpongeBob: Why?
Patrick: I'll show you why. (shoves SpongeBob’s face into his window looking at the pink starfish in the suit. The starfish then takes out a pocket watch) See him? He's from the library. He knows about my overdue books. (the starfish looks towards the window. SpongeBob gasps) Uh-huh. Which means I'm gonna get thrown into the big house. And you know what that means...
SpongeBob: Small portion meals?
Patrick: Exactly! (cries)
SpongeBob: Patrick, don't you worry. I got your back, man. (bubble-wipe to later. SpongeBob approaches to the starfish outside) Hi there.
Starfish: Salutations, young one. Say, you wouldn't happen to know that starfish that lives under this rock, would you?
SpongeBob: Huh? No, I don't know any starfish. Even if I did know this "alleged" starfish, Patrick wouldn't owe any overdue library books. (covers his mouth in fright)

Patrick's Reflection: I am you, and you are me.
Patrick: (wires connect in his brain. Becomes frightened) What have I become?! (runs out) A monster! Monster! (runs into the starfish from earlier) Huh? Oh, it's, it's you! (hands him the crown) Here, here, take it! I don't want it anymore! It's turned me into a monster!
Starfish: Oh, I think I know what's going on here. Patrick, with great power comes great responsibility. (puts away the crown) You haven't a clue what I just told you, do you?
Patrick: (chattering his teeth) No. Uh-uh.
Starfish: Oh, just as well. I've come to take the crown back, as it seems that you aren't royalty after all. (takes out the family tree scroll)
Patrick: Huh?
Starfish: (opens the scroll) I've discovered this coffee stain, which upon removal, (removes the coffee stain to reveal Gary on the scroll) reveals that Sir Gary is the true heir to the king's crown. (bubble-wipe to Gary having the crown put on his shell)
SpongeBob: Well, would you look at that? Gary, you're royalty!
Gary: (in delight) Maow?
