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. Squidward comes outside and eats his soufflé while laughing, but in doing so chokes on the fork. Patrick saves his live by performing CPR on him, and becomes Squidward's friend. Inside Squidward's house Patrick falls asleep while Squidward plays a composition called "Solitude in E Minor" on his clarinet, and Squidward him outside. While doing this, he sprains his back, and SpongeBob sees this as an opportunity to help him. He fixes Squidward's back and thus becomes Squidward's friend.

Inside, SpongeBob plays a song (badly) for Squidward on his cello (which he thinks is a bassinet), and when Patrick appears in the window and interrupts the song, SpongeBob destroys the instrument in a fit of rage, and Squidward kicks him out. Squidward then tries to take a bath, but Patrick is in the tub. SpongeBob appears in the window and sees this, and he and Patrick begin arguing 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, who have become literally inflated from all the soda, begfin hiccup small bubbles that make a burping sound when they burst. They find this amusing and become friends again, but they create so many bubbles that Squidward's house explodes. Squidward orders them out and slams the door, which then falls over on him.

Transcript

Quotes

[Squidward is admiring his latest cuisine creation: a souffle island with a tiny Squidward figure set on the top.]
Squidward: Wow! Squidward, this is the best souffle you have ever created!

[Spongebob and Patrick are playing a game in which they whisper messages to each other using bubbles. Spongebob dips his bubble wand into his bottle of bubble mix, thinks a moment, then whispers a message into his bubble. The bubble floats to Patrick and pops, and Spongebob's message is revealed.]
Spongebob: Hi, Patrick.
[Patrick giggles, then dips his own wand into his own bottle, then shoves the wand into his mouth and takes it out before dipping it into his bottle again and whispering his own message to Spongebob. The bubble floats to Spongebob and pops, revealing Patrick's message.]
Patrick: Hey, Spongebob.
[Spongebob laughs, much to Squidward's annoyance.]

Squidward: [To Spongebob] If I had a dollar for every brain that you don't have, I'd have one dollar!

[Patrick is trying to assist Squidward, who is choking and unable to breathe.]
Patrick: I know what to do, but I should wash my hands first. [Short pause] Oh, well.

Spongebob: [Into his bubble] Patrick, you're my best friend in the whole neighborhood.
[Squidward whispers a message into his own bubble, and the bubble replaces Spongebob's bubble and floats on to Patrick.]
Squidward: Patrick, you are the dumbest idiot it has ever been my misfortune to know.

Patrick: [Shouting] And that makes you a big dummy, you dummy!
Spongebob: Well, so are you!
Patrick: You're a turkey!
Spongebob: What's that?
Patrick: It's what you are!
Spongebob: Well, you're a bigger one!

[Squidward has accidentally swallowed his fork, and now his windpipe is blocked.]
Patrick: Wow! Squidward, you're choking!

Patrick: I win!

Squidward: Congratulations, chef!

Squidward: What a surprise. I invited them in, and I left them alone. Well, Squidward, what have we learned today?

[Squidward is about to practice his clarinet in front of Patrick.]
Patrick: [Claps hands] Yeah, E minor! All right!
[But the second Squidward starts to play, Patrick falls fast asleep.]

Spongebob: [Singing] Squidward is my best friend in the world. Squidward is my best friend in the sea. Squidward...
Patrick: [Cutting in] ...likes Patrick more than Spongebob.

Squidward: Oh, this is nuts! I need a plan to get those two back together, and out of my hair!

Spongebob: Hey, guess what, Squidward?
Patrick: Me and Spongebob are friends again!
Squidward: Great. Go be friends somewhere else.
