Squidward's House Floating Away.

SpongeBob walks outside and admires the peacefulness of the neighborhood. Suddenly, he loudly sets up a stand outside of his pineapple, offering to teach others how to blow bubbles like he does. This annoys Squidward, who requests SpongeBob to be quiet. SpongeBob slows down and eventually finishes his stand. Patrick emerges from his rock, and attempts to blow a bubble, but fails. SpongeBob then puts up a sign offering "lessons", and attempts to teach Patrick some of his tricks, showing him the technique that allows him to blow bubbles in various shapes and sizes.

A large elephant-shaped bubble (which Patrick calls a giraffe) floats into Squidward's window, exploding inside and making a loud trumpeting noise An angry Squidward marches out and attempts to blow a bubble that will upstage SpongeBob, without using the technique, but fails. He tries this over and over again, while SpongeBob and Patrick try to remind him of the technique. He gives in and sarcastically imitates the technique. He succeeds, and creates a bubble so large it floats away as SpongeBob and Patrick cheer. Filled with pride, Squidward goes back into his house and plays the clarinet. However, the large bubble returns and engulfs his house. It floats toward the surface as he plays his clarinet. Suddenly, the bubble bursts, sending his house crashing to the sea-bottom.
