Cecil hides from Squidward.

Cecil and Squidward's rivalry is a running gag on the show. Cecil refuses to pay Squidward his newspaper money, either taunting him for it or avoiding him altogether. Episodes like "Bummer Jobs," "The Haunting of Star House," "Backpay Payback," "Best Served Cold," and "Pat-per Route" include this as a major plot point. In "Pat-per Route," Squidward finally gets paid by Cecil, with help from Patrick. However, Cecil paid him before in "Bummer Jobs," that time SpongeBob and Patrick collected it for themselves.
