MR. KRAB: Stop I’m not your enemy
Plankton is your enemy
SQUIDWARD: So is he an anemone or a
plankton? The word ‘enemy’ has
identical pronunciation with
‘anemone’. Anemone itself is any of several
types of small plant, wild or grown in
gardens, with red, blue or white flowers.
Anemone also can refer to a soft, brightly
coloured sea creature which looks like a
flower and often lives on rocks under the
water.
