[edit] Plot

Squidward has made a very good soufflé, but SpongeBob and Patrick's laughing distracts him from enjoying it. Squidward 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.
Annoyed, Squidward makes bubbles of his own, imitating SpongeBob and Patrick, but insulting them both. Thinking the bubbles are from each other, SpongeBob and Patrick become angry and get into a fight, eventually declaring that they are no longer friends.[1] 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.
Patrick falls asleep while Squidward plays a composition called "Solitude in E Minor" on his clarinet, and Squidward drags him out. While doing this, he sprains his back, and SpongeBob sees this as an opportunity to help him. He fixes Squidward's back and so becomes Squidward's friend.
In a fit of anger, while Patrick and SpongeBob compete again for Squidward's friendship, SpongeBob breaks Squidward's cello (which he thinks is a "bassinet"), and Squidward kicks him out.[2]Squidward then tries to take a bath, but Patrick is in the tub. SpongeBob and Patrick argue again, driving Squidward crazy.
Squidward decides to invite Patrick and SpongeBob to a dinner party (without telling either of 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, but the situation devolves into a competition to see who can drink the most soda and thus become Squidward's best friend. Squidward runs out of soda and leaves to get some more. While he is gone, Spongebob and Patrick hiccup small bubbles that make a burping sound when they burst. They find this amusing and become friends again, but because they drank so many glasses of pop (SpongeBob drank 14 glasses and Patrick drank 12), their burps create a whole load of bubbles that make Squidward's house collapse.[3]
[edit] Notes
- ^ Squidward's house cannot be seen when Spongebob and Patrick were fighting.
- ^ When Spongebob plays the bassinet, he asks for an A. Squidward actually plays a B-flat on his clarinet. For clarinet players, this is a C.
- ^ At the end, Squidward never put his key in the door, but he was able to open it anyway.
