Plot

SpongeBob and Sandy are playing Karate. SpongeBob is carefully going around the house looking for her, until she jumps out. They fight, and have lots of fun. Sandy tells him that she will sneak up on him and fight him tomorrow. SpongeBob thinks anyone or anything can be Sandy, so he is cautious and does not work much. Mr. Krabs demands to know what is going on, so SpongeBob explains to him that he is playing karate. He pronounces it and Mr. Krabs says he should be making him money, with his spatula. Therefore, Mr. Krabs tells him to stop playing karate, or he will be fired. Sandy fights him, and SpongeBob tells her that Mr. Krabs will fire him. Sandy does not believe this, and SpongeBob is fired. After a bit of explaining, he gets his job back, and they go back to the park. They become addicted to karate again, and Mr. Krabs catches them. However, he finds that karate chops can replace knives, and Krabby Patties are made faster, earning him more money.

Quotes

Squidward: SpongeBob, did you get the bathrooms mopped yet?

SpongeBob: Yes ma'am. I mean sir. I mean boss. I mean poobah!

Squidward: GO!

SpongeBob: Sandy! Wait! Victory is yours.
Matthew: What a jerk.
SpongeBob: Thought you could sneak up on me at work, did you? Well, you can't! Because I'm fast, I'm mean, and I can do this! (swivels hands around) (Hiss) Took care of her, yes I did. (Runs into Mr. Krabs) Uh, Ahoy, sir!

Mr. Krabs: What was that?

SpongeBob: But sir, she snuck up on me. In my own dojo!

Mr. Krabs: Are you on some new allergy medication, boy?

SpongeBob: No, sir. Just practicing my karate, sir. Or kare-ah-tay, as some like to call it.

Mr. Krabs: Kare-ah-tay? You should be making me money-ay! With your spatu-lay!

Hot Sauce Drop: By the powers of naughtiness, I command this particular drop of hot sauce to be really, REALLY hot!

Trivia

There is a game on Nickelodeon.com to tie in with this episode.
When Spongebob says 'poobah', it sounds a bit like 'pumbaa', named after Pumbaa the warthog from Disney's The Lion King.
