Pantoliano's character escapes prison and was supposed to meet up with Dorsal Dan. However, Sticky Fins thought that the getaway car was that of SpongeBob's.
His real driving instructor Mrs. Puff decides to go after SpongeBob, to her surprise. She ends up boarding the car driven by Buscemi's character, who arrived a few seconds late.
