PlotEdit

Squidward throws a bubble gum wrapper on SpongeBob's lawn. When SpongeBob discovers it, he asks

Squidward if he can keep it. Squidward, who sees the paper as a worthless and useless pile of junk, says yes. SpongeBob asks him

several more times to make sure that he doesn't want it, and Squidward assures him that he has no use for the paper, and sarcastically makes him promise to never give it back. SpongeBob uses his imagination to have fun and do amazing things with the paper, and Squidward becomes

jealous and attempts to take it back. However, SpongeBob refuses to give it back, as he promised not to. Squidward desperately begs SpongeBob for the paper, and is not successful until he agrees to trade everything he owns, including his house and shirt. However, Squidward does not have fun with the paper, and realizes that it is indeed completely worthless. Patrick then comes along, takes the paper from Squidward, and throws away his gum in it. Squidward, who has now given up everything he owns for nothing and is standing there naked, asks "Does anyone have sunscreen?"

QuotesEdit

• Squidward: Hey, little Squidward, what's green & ugly & has 6 arms?
• Little Squidward: I don't know, but have you looked in the mirror lately?

• SpongeBob: Have you heard any good jokes, Mr Paper?
• Mr Paper : What happened to the paper that fell in the ocean?
• SpongeBob : I don't know, what happened to the paper that fell in the ocean?
• Mr Paper : It was all washed up!
  (Crowd laughs)

• Squidward: Take it SpongeBob, take it PLEASE. And promise me no matter how much I may beg, and plead, and cry... DON'T give the paper back to me. EVER.
• SpongeBob: So I'll take that as a possible no? (Squidward slowly closes the door on SpongeBob) Squidward? Squidward? (through door) Okay, Squidward! That's a promise I'll just have to keep! (to the paper) Ah, Mr. Paper. I am so lucky to have a friend like Squidward!)

• Squidward: Well, you can't play music with a piece of paper! (Pulls out his Clairinet and plays "Mary had A Little Lamb with the wrong notes).
• SpongeBob: (Clapping the paper) Hurray, hurray! That was great, Squidward! All those wrong notes you played made it sound more original!

• SpongeBob: (To Squidward) Ah, nothing like a duet between buddies!

TriviaEdit

• Just like "I Was a Teenage Gary", this episode is not broadcasted as much, because it is paired with a holiday-themed episode.
• A Squidward dummy would reappear in the fourth season episode, "Squid Wood."
• SpongeBob says that he has always liked Squidward's shirt. He broke a promise he made to Squidward to get it.
• Things SpongeBob does with the paper include: playing paper paddle-ball, oral-gami (oragami with his mouth), using it like a propeller, and playing it like an insturment.
• The plot is similar to a Rugrats episode, "No More Cookies," where Angelica tells Tommy to promise not to give her any more cookies, due to her stomach ache, no matter if she begs, pleaded, cried, but she still wants cookies no matter what. SpongeBob and Squidward do the same with the paper.
• This is the 14th episode with its name in it.
• 16th time Mr. Krabs doesn't appear. 1st was Reef Blower, 2nd was Tea At The Treedome, 3rd was Bubblestand, 4th was Ripped Pants, 5th was Jellyfishing, 6th was Naughty Nautical Neighbors, 7th was Boating School, 8th was Home Sweet Pineapple, 9th was Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy, 10th was Hall Monitor, 11th was Jellyfish Jam, 12th was Opposite Day, 13th was I Was A Teenage Gary, 14th was SB129 & 15th was Valentine's Day.
• The science-related things Squidward mentions (erosion and mitosis) are on the cover of Boring Science Digest: erosion on the back, mitosis on the front under the title. Erosion is when water wears away rock and land; mitosis is when one cell splits into two.
• Clips of this episode were seen on Late Night with Conan O'Brian on Nov. 25th, 2006.
• This is the 3rd episode where Squidward appears naked. 1st was Plankton! & 2nd was Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy.
• The title card is the same as "Best Frenemies" and "Squid Wood."
• The title card music is the same as "The Secret Box," "Club SpongeBob," "Opposite Day" and "Your Shoe's Untied.
• While SpongeBob chews the paper to make Origami, you can hear a Snare Drumroll sound. That exact same Snare drumroll sound was later used for other episodes such as: "Band Geeks," "The Fry Cook Games," "Wet Painters," "Plankton's Army," and "Krabby Land".
• SpongeBob makes Squidward jealous with his imagination in the episode "Idiot Box."
• When the crowd is laughing with SpongeBob, some people appeared twice.
• When Spongebob was playing the music on the piece of paper, it sounds like an advanced version of, "Mary Had A Little Lamb."
• For some unknown reason, whenever Squidward's house gets lifted, it is unknown why there are no water pipes bending or bursting.
• When the crowd is laughing at SpongeBob's joke, for some reason some people like Fred aren't laughing, but just waving back and forth.
• This is the 1st time Spongebob impersonates a dolphin. 2nd will be Sailor Mouth & 3rd will be You Don't Know Sponge.
• Spongebob makes wonderful music with his paper, but on Squidward The Unfriendly Ghost, he can't make music with a tissue.
