Plot
Squidward is playing his clarinet when Spongebob goes outside to do some gardening. He thinks Squidward went to a restaurant called Mario's. Suddenly, Squidward notices two construction workers putting up a billboard. Thinking Squidward's music is flatulence, Spongebob becomes noisy to cover it up, until Squidward alerts him to stop. Getting mad at the billboard workers, he then discovers the Bikini Bottom Symphony Orchestra is holding a competition for an original score. Following a series of events starting with Patrick breaking his butt, Squidward tries not to get distracted by Spongebob's home doctoring. After turning in his score, he finds that he wrote down all of Spongebob's doctoring. The audience accknowledges Spongebob and Patrick and Fred leads the applause toward Squidward.
