Plot

Squidward has made a very good soufflé, but SpongeBob and Patrick's laughing distracts him from enjoying it. Annoyed, he sees they're having a private conversation with bubbles. They whisper a message into the bubble wand instead of blowing into it, and when the bubble pops, the message can be heard. Squidward makes bubbles of his own, imitating SpongeBob and Patrick and says insults. SpongeBob and Patrick think the bubbles are from each other and their friendship is destroyed. Squidward eats his soufflé while laughing, but in doing so chokes on the fork. Patrick performs CPR on him, and he becomes Squidward's friend. He falls asleep while Squidward plays Solitude in E minor, and Squidward drags him out. While doing this, he throws out his back, and SpongeBob sees this as an opportunity to help him. He fixes Squidward's back and so he becomes Squidward's friend. When Patrick and SpongeBob again compete for Squidward's friendship, SpongeBob accidentally breaks Squidward's cello (which he thinks is a "bassinet"), and Squidward kicks him out. Squidward then tries to take a bath, but Patrick is in the tub. SpongeBob and Patrick argue again, driving Squidward crazy. He invites Patrick and SpongeBob to a dinner party (without telling them that the other is coming), in order to repair their friendship. When they arrive, they are still mad at each other. Squidward tries to get them back together, so he fills their glasses full of soda and goes outside. SpongeBob and Patrick become friends again, but because they drank so many glasses of soda (SpongeBob drank 14 glasses and Patrick drank 12), their burps create a whole load of bubbles that make Squidward's house collapse.

Trivia

• While SpongeBob sings about Squidward, he sings "And Patrick is a dirty, stinky, rotten friend-stealer!", but the captions sing "And Patrick is a dirty, stinky, rotten friend, Squidward!".
