Plot

File:Squidfloat.jpg

Squidward's House begins to float away by a giant bubble.

SpongeBob walks outside and admires the peacefulness of the neighborhood. Suddenly, he loudly begins to make a stand where people have to pay 25 cents just to learn to blow bubbles like he does. It wakes up Squidward who demands SpongeBob to be quiet. Patrick comes out and then comes to the stand and asks to try it out and Patrick only buzzes his lips instead of blowing and fails so he requests SpongeBob to teach him for an extra quarter. SpongeBob says that he blows bubbles in a technique and when he shows Patrick he blows a duck bubble, an ice cube bubble, a catterpillar bubble, and a boat bubble.

Then after all the bubbles pop SpongeBob then uses two hands causing him to blow an elephant bubble (Patrick calls it a "Giraffe") which flys into Squidward's house and pops in the house causing an explosion. Squidward enraged comes out and asks why they are just making so much noise just blowing bubbles. SpongeBob shows him the technique and he blows a butterfly bubble but Squidward angrily rejects SpongeBob's ideas and shoos SpongeBob and Patrick back into their houses in embarrassment. Squidward begins to blow a bubble but SpongeBob and Patrick return to ask payment and Squidward then has to give them 25 cents but he shows them his way of blowing bubbles but he fails and he sarcastically and meanly imitates their technique but only to discover that he blew a HUGE bubble. SpongeBob and Patrick congradulate Squidward and Squidward thanks them sarcastically and leaves. He begins to play his clarinet but SpongeBob and Patrick chant him until Squidwards gigantic bubble floats and traps Squidward's house inside it!

SpongeBob and Patrick try to warn Squidward but Squidward thinks they're still chanting him and he keeps playing and playing thinking he rocks but when he looks outside he sees him way way above the ground with SpongeBob and Patrick specks from the ground he says "Genius" before the Bubble pops shaking the Earth and SpongeBob and Patrick look at each other sadly and they retreat to their houses before Squidward could scold them.
