 * Gary the Snail (cameo)

SynopsisEdit
Squidward has made a delicious soufflé, but SpongeBob and Patrick's constant laughing distracts him from enjoying it. Squidward sees that they are having a private conversation with bubbles. They whisper a message into the bubble wand instead of blowing into it, and when the bubble pops, the message can be heard.

Annoyed by this, Squidward makes bubbles of his own using the liquid from his soufflé and proceeds to insult the two while imitating their voices. Thinking the bubbles are from each other, SpongeBob and Patrick become angry and get into a fight, eventually declaring that they are no longer friends before storming back to their houses. Squidward comes outside and eats his soufflé while laughing, but in doing so, he chokes on the fork he was using and passes out. Patrick witnesses this and saves his life by performing CPR on him (which is basically blowing him up and as the air comes out, the fork can be seen spluttering in between his lips).

Squidward thanks him and he becomes Patrick's new friend, inviting him into his house to watch him practice his clarinet composition called "Solitude in E Minor." Despite Patrick claiming to love music, he immediately falls asleep as soon as Squidward plays a single note.

Meanwhile, a lonely SpongeBob tries to cheer himself up by drawing faces on three of his fingers and pretending they are his "friends", but this doesn't work.

Back outside, Squidward drags the still asleep Patrick out of his house, and in the process, he throws his back out. SpongeBob sees this as an opportunity to help him and, despite protests from Squidward, he dives into the latter's back and cracks it back into place. Squidward immediately feels better but makes the mistake of referring to SpongeBob as his "friend" while thanking him, thus making SpongeBob believe that Squidward is his new best friend. They both walk into Squidward's house, where SpongeBob plays a song (badly) for Squidward on his double bass (which he thinks is a bassinet) and when Patrick appears in the window and interrupts the song, SpongeBob destroys the instrument in a fit of rage. A furious Squidward angrily kicks him out as a result, and decides to take a bubble bath, but is horrified to find Patrick lounging in the tub. Squidward furiously orders him to leave, but SpongeBob appears through the window and discovers this, causing the two to argue again. This drives Squidward over the edge, and he flees his house, hiding in a trash can outside. Seeing the huge mess he created, Squidward realizes that breaking SpongeBob and Patrick’s friendship wasn't a good idea and he needs a plan to get the two to become friends again (and thus leave him alone).Squidward decides to invite SpongeBob and Patrick to a dinner party (without telling either of them that the other is coming) to repair their friendship. When they arrive, they are still mad at each other. Squidward tries to get them back together by offering them soda, but the situation devolves into a competition to see who can drink the most soda and thus become Squidward's friend. Eventually, Squidward runs out of soda and leaves to get some more, telling the two to stay and "chat". While he is gone, SpongeBob and Patrick, who are both extremely fat from all the soda they drank, still refuse to talk or even look at each other. SpongeBob then hiccups a small bubble that makes a burping sound upon popping, which amuses them both and they become friends again. However, they create so many bubbles from laughing that it causes Squidward's house to explode. Upon arriving back and seeing the destruction, Squidward angrily tells the two to leave, and he angrily slams the door (which is somehow still standing) shut. A bubble pops near the door, causing it to fall over and crush Squidward, who moans "Ohhh! My back...." as the episode ends.

TriviaEdit

 * This episode marks the first time the same title card music is used for this episode as the title card music for its sister episode, although different sections of the music are used.
 * Squidward's "Solitude in E Minor" is not in E minor. It is impossible to tell what key it is in, as there are only two notes (C and F, respectively), though there are keys that it cannot be in, which are:
 * G major, D major, A major, E major, B major, F# major, C# major, C♭ major, F♭ major
 * E minor, B minor, F# minor, C# minor, G# minor, D# minor, A# minor, E♭ minor


 * When SpongeBob asks Squidward to play an A, he actually plays a B♭/A#.
 * The room of SpongeBob's house seen in this episode is empty and dark.
 * On one airing, after The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie showing, the cut-short version of the Nickelodeon Movies logo from the 2002 film called Hey Arnold!: The Movie was shown before this episode.
 * This was the first episode that Sherm Cohen and Aaron Springer worked on.
 * This is the first episode of the series where the "a"s in the crew member's names were not filled in. It has remained this way since.
 * "Plankton!" was the last episode to have filled in "a"s.
 * Squidward's impression of SpongeBob has a New Jersey accent.
 * It is revealed that in spite of his low intellect, Patrick can correctly utilize CPR.
 * This is the first episode to show what the backside of SpongeBob's, Squidward's, and Patrick's houses look like.
 * When Squidward goes into the bathroom and screams, and the scene cuts to Patrick in Squidward's bath, it has become an internet fad called "Guess who's in Squidward's bath," which has a scary or funny face replacing Patrick's face.
 * When Squidward uses his keys to unlock the door, there was an explosion. Then Squidward bites his hand and opens the door, already unlocked. The explosion might have broken the lock on the door, though.
 * When Patrick falls asleep when Squidward plays, "Solitude in E minor," it has an internet fad called, "Patrick thinks [song, singer or band] is boring" where a scene of a song will play, and the scene where Patrick is asleep then plays.
 * SpongeBob said he has been playing a bassinet for years. However, a bassinet is a type of cradle. SpongeBob was actually playing the double bass or a contrabass, though the specific instrument he was playing resembled an instrument called a "viola da gamba," a baroque instrument.
 * The scene where SpongeBob accidentally spears a picture of Squidward with the bassinet's bow after playing too hard has become an internet fad called "SpongeBob attacks his enemy", where a funny, or normal face replaces the painting of Squidward.
 * In Arabic, this episode is called "الجيران المزعجة" which means "Disturbing the Neighbors."
 * In the Polish dub, the episode's title is "Nieznośni sąsiedzi," which translates to "Annoying Neighbors."
 * In Serbian, this episode's name is "Najbolji Prijatelji," or "'Best Friends."
 * In the Croatian dub, the episode title is the same, only that is "Neighbor" instead of "Neighbors."
 * An image of Patrick saving Squidward is featured on the protective case of The SpongeBob SquarePants Experience: A Deep Dive into the World of Bikini Bottom. However, Squidward does not appear in the image.
 * This episode marks the first usages of the APM tracks "Nostalgic Hawaii," "Gator," "On the Beach", and "Fates."

ErrorsEdit

 * When SpongeBob is playing the "bassinet" (actually a string bass) at Squidward's house, there are only three strings instead of four. However, when SpongeBob smashes the bass, one can see that it now has four strings.
 * As Patrick and Squidward are walking into Squidward's house, his back window has no glass.
 * The glass also disappears at the beginning when Squidward walks outside. It is not there when he walks out, but appears when he sits down.
 * When SpongeBob appears in Squidward's bathroom through his ear window, the window has no glass. Also, in the next shot, which shows the outside of Squidward's house, SpongeBob is not there, and the ear windows are not even visible.
 * When SpongeBob and Patrick are stuffed with soda, SpongeBob's holes are missing.
 * When Squidward returns to his house just as it is destroyed, he has a grocery bag and keys. Afterward, the bag and keys disappear.
 * If you look closely when SpongeBob is looking at Patrick and Squidward out the window, SpongeBob's eyelashes and holes are missing.
 * Also, he has five fingers for a shot rather than four.
 * If you examine SpongeBob's house surrounding this scene, SpongeBob is looking through an open glassless window, but all the windows that could see Squidward's house are shut and have glass covering them. Same goes for when he jumps through the open window.
 * In the soda scene, if you look closely, at one point Patrick's soda fizz stops moving.
 * In this episode, Gary's shell is smaller than usual.
 * Even though the party was deemed a "dinner party," there was no actual food served at the party.
 * It would be almost impossible for Squidward to make bubbles out of the purple soap off his cake since he held it and blew it with a pointy fork and the bubbles would probably pop before it gets to SpongeBob or Patrick.
 * SpongeBob rips his clothes off while launching himself to Squidward, but when he reappears he is wearing his clothes again.
 * When SpongeBob got kicked out of Squidward's house, he was far away from the house, but when the scene changes he was right near his house.
 * Just before SpongeBob says, "Aha! So this is what I see huh, my best friend and my ex-best friend and rubber bath toys," the sailboat flickers blue for about one second.
 * When SpongeBob was using bubbles to communicate and when Squidward was tricking them with the fake bubbles the lines on SpongeBob's sock disappear sometimes.
 * When SpongeBob yells at Patrick, his bubble wand is thrown to the ground, but when SpongeBob tells Patrick he doesn't want to see him again, it is missing.
 * The hinge on Patrick's rock disappears between when Patrick is smashed and when Patrick notices that Squidward is choking.
 * When Squidward explains that SpongeBob and Patrick are his two best friends, Patrick's mouth turns pink for a brief moment.
 * When SpongeBob is playing the string bass, the window is just a hole in the wall, but when Patrick appears, it becomes a glass window with a hinge on the side.
 * Squidward could have just told SpongeBob and Patrick the truth about who sent them the mean bubble messages to get them to stop bothering him. Then again, they most likely wouldn't believe him or ignore his explanation.
 * Transcript
 * Squidward: Wow. Squidward, this is the best soufflé you have ever created. [kisses his hand] Congratulations, chef! [gets dressed, takes a shower, gargles, and brushes his teeth. He re-enters the scene in a tuxedo and sits down at the table. He hears laughter from outside. He goes to the window and notices that SpongeBob and Patrick are playing with bubbles. SpongeBob whispers into a bubble and it floats over to Patrick and pops]
 * SpongeBob Bubble: Hi, Patrick.
 * [Patrick giggles as he was about to blow a bubble. He eats the bubble and whispers into another bubble, sending it over to SpongeBob where it pops]
 * Patrick Bubble: Hi, SpongeBob.
 * [SpongeBob giggles and Squidward, now annoyed, blows a bubble of his own from the liquid of his soufflé with a fork. SpongeBob whispers into another bubble]
 * SpongeBob: [whispering into bubble] Patrick, you're my best friend in the whole neighborhood.
 * [the bubble floats over but is kicked when Squidward's bubble approaches, popping SpongeBob's bubble. Squidward's bubble floats over to Patrick and pops]
 * Squidward Bubble: [mimicking SpongeBob] Patrick, you are the dumbest idiot it has ever been my misfortune to know.
 * [Patrick frowns and blows a bubble, sending it over to SpongeBob]
 * Patrick Bubble: Do you really think that, SpongeBob?
 * SpongeBob: [whispering into the bubble] Of course, Patrick. Anyone with eyes can see that. [the bubble floats over to Patrick and pops, followed by another bubble floating back over to SpongeBob]
 * Patrick Bubble: Yeah? Well, I think you're ugly. [another bubble comes over and pops] Yellow is ugly! [two other bubbles, but smaller, float over and pops, both containing raspberry noises for SpongeBob]
 * SpongeBob: [talks into the bubble, puzzled] Patrick, what are you talking about?
 * [The bubble floats over to Patrick. Another bubble of Squidward's bubbles floats over to SpongeBob and pops]
 * Squidward Bubble: [mimicking Patrick] SpongeBob, I no longer wish to know you. [SpongeBob gasps] You give bottom dwellers a bad name.
 * [Squidward creates several other bubbles and they float over to SpongeBob]
 * Squidward Bubble: [mimicking Patrick] If I had a dollar for every brain you don't have, I'd have one dollar!
 * [Squidward laughs. Another bubble floats over to Patrick]
 * Squidward Bubble: [mimicking SpongeBob] Hey, Patrick, I heard there was a job opening down at the pet shop... as some newspaper!
 * Patrick: [stands up and yells at SpongeBob] Well, that makes you a big dummy, you dummy!
 * SpongeBob: [stands up and yells at Patrick] Yeah, well, that means that, uhh... so are you!
 * Patrick: Right, you're a turkey!
 * SpongeBob: What's that? [Squidward arrives outside with a lawn chair and his soufflé]
 * Patrick: It's what you are!
 * [Squidward begins to laugh hysterically at SpongeBob and Patrick's arguing.]
 * SpongeBob: Well, you're a bigger one!
 * Patrick: Well, you're still yellow! And you know what else is yellow?
 * SpongeBob: What?
 * Patrick: You are!
 * SpongeBob: Oh, yeah? Well, it doesn't matter what you call me, 'cause I never wanna see you again anyway! [he goes inside through the back door and turns around] Aww, tartar sauce! [shuts door]
 * [Patrick angrily opens his rock, which closes and comes up sounding like an accordion. ]
 * Squidward: [Laughs at Patrick. Puts the soufflé and fork in his mouth.] [Continues laughing. Moves his tentacles around in laughter, then lies back in laughter accidentally swallowing the fork and choking on it. Chokes on the fork repeatedly and his skin turns to a deep shade of blue as the letters "K" and "O" appear in his right eye and left eye respectively and flashes appears. Squidward passes out and drools]
 * Patrick: Wow, Squidward, you're choking! [runs over to Squidward] Uhh... uhh, I know what to do, but I should wash my hands first. Oh, well. [he takes a deep breath and performs CPR on Squidward. As he is doing this, each one of Squidward's tentacles suction cups pops up. Eventually, the fork comes out and Patrick catches it] I win!
 * Squidward: Wow! Patrick, you saved me!
 * Patrick: I did?
 * Squidward: Yup! You're a real lifesaver, friend! [shakes Patrick's hands]
 * Patrick: Friend? [holds Squidward] Friend...
 * Squidward: [uneasily] Yeah, Patrick, we're friends... [steps back] just friends. [they both notice SpongeBob is gazing from his window with a blank stare]
 * Patrick: So what are we gonna do tonight, best friend? [walks with Squidward over to the Easter Island head]
 * Squidward: Well, I was going to practice my clarinet solo.
 * Patrick: Clarinet? I love music!
 * [inside the pineapple, SpongeBob watches the two go inside Squidward's house]
 * SpongeBob: Ahh, who needs them? They're no fun anyway, right, Gary? [Gary is sleeping inside his shell]Gary? [knocks on his shell]
 * [cut to Squidward's]
 * Squidward: Squidward will be performing his version of Solitude in E minor.
 * Patrick: [sitting on a bench while clapping] Yeah! E minor! All right! Yeah! [Squidward takes a deep breath and plays a note, and Patrick immediately falls asleep, to the annoyance of Squidward. Scene cuts to SpongeBob]
 * SpongeBob: Ah, what am I worried about? I got plenty of friends! I can name three right off the bat! [he holds up three fingers] Uhh... [he draws faces on each finger with a broken smile] The gang's all here... [he looks at the faces on his fingers, and his eyes well with tears] Ohhh!
 * [Squidward is dragging Patrick, who is still asleep, outside. Suddenly, after a few feet, his back gives out]
 * Squidward: Ow! My back! I threw out my back!
 * SpongeBob: [sees Squidward in pain] Oh, boy, now's my chance! [jumps out of the window]
 * Squidward: SpongeBob? No, no, stay back!
 * SpongeBob: [running] Don't worry, Squidward! I'm coming!
 * Squidward: No, no, no, get away from me!
 * SpongeBob: Hang on! I'll save you! [rips off his suit revealing a speedo underneath]
 * Squidward: [tries to get to his door] No, no! Get away from me! No, no!
 * SpongeBob: [jumps off a diving board] Hold on!
 * Squidward: No, no! Get away! [screams as SpongeBob dives into his back cracking it back into place] Oh! I'm ruined! I'm... I'm... I'm... I-I feel great! Thanks, SpongeBob! You're a real friend! [SpongeBob smiles big]
 * SpongeBob: Friend...
 * Squidward: N-no, no, no, I didn't mean that, no-no.
 * SpongeBob: Don't worry, Squiddy, old pal. That's what friends are for. [Squidward and SpongeBob walk into the Easter Island head] So dumb Patrick fell asleep on ya, huh? Some friend. A real friend would perform for you!
 * Squidward: You play?
 * SpongeBob: Are you kidding? I've been playing bassinet for years! [he takes one from the wall] Give me an A, buddy! [Squidward plays a note and SpongeBob sings] Squidward is my best friend in the world. [grates strings with bow] Squidward is my best friend in the sea...
 * [The bow flies into what looks like Squidward's head and he screams. Fortunately, it turns out it's just a painting; the real Squidward pulls the bow out and growls as he snaps it in half with his knee]
 * SpongeBob: [now playing with his fingers like a guitar] Squidward...
 * Patrick: [pops in through the window] Likes Patrick more than SpongeBob. [SpongeBob slams the window in Patrick's face] Oh!
 * SpongeBob: [strums harder before slamming the bass to the floor] And Patrick is a dirty, stinky, rotten friend stealer! [smashes the bass] Umm, I can fix this. [Squidward is steaming red in fury]
 * Squidward: Grrrrrryehhhhherrrryeh! [he kicks SpongeBob out]
 * SpongeBob: ...So, uhh, I'll see you tomorrow, Squidward! Call me!
 * Squidward: Yech! That was disgusting! I feel like I need to scrub myself. [opens up the curtain and screams after he sees Patrick in his tub]
 * Patrick: Hey, buddy. I warmed it up for ya. [shows him a brush and soap]
 * Squidward: Patrick! Get out! And put some clothes on! [SpongeBob peeks in through the upstairs window]
 * SpongeBob: What's the matter, Squidward, old buddy? [notices Patrick in the bath-tub] Oh, ho-ho, so this is what I find, huh? My best friend and my ex-best friend and... [shown bath toys] ...rubber bath toys!
 * Patrick: [simultaneously] Oh, yeah?! Well, he was my friend first!
 * SpongeBob: [simultaneously] You're just a backbiting, backstabbing silly blob of...
 * Squidward: [screams] This can't be happening to me! [He runs away. SpongeBob and Patrick stop their arguing as they notice Squidward's gone]
 * SpongeBob and Patrick: Squidward?!
 * SpongeBob: Buddy?!
 * Patrick: Squidward?!
 * SpongeBob: Where'd ya go, friend?
 * Patrick: Where are ya, ol' buddy?
 * Squidward: [hiding in a trash can] Oh, this is nuts! I need a plan to get those two back together and outta my hair!
 * SpongeBob: [reading a magazine as the doorbell rings a letter is pushed under the door. Then he smells it]Squidward. [opens it] A dinner party? I'd love to! [SpongeBob knocks on Squidward's door and Squidward opens it] Did you miss me?
 * Squidward: Come on in! You look stunning. [shuts door]
 * SpongeBob: I'd much rather dine with you than that lousy... [gasps when he sees Patrick] Say, what gives? I'm not sitting near that maniac!
 * Patrick: Me neither! This was a setup!
 * Squidward: I thought you two were my best friends.
 * SpongeBob and Patrick: I am your best friend!
 * Squidward: [takes out a bottle of soda] Well, how about some soda, guys? [SpongeBob shows him his glass]
 * SpongeBob: Yes, please! [Squidward gives him some soda] Thanks, friend. [flicks Squidward's nose][drinks]
 * Patrick: How about some for your best friend? [SpongeBob puts his glass in front of Patrick's, so he gets the soda instead of Patrick]
 * SpongeBob: Thanks, best friend! [drinks]
 * Patrick: Can I have some now, buddy?
 * SpongeBob: Wait, I need some more! [pours SpongeBob another glass]
 * Patrick: I still didn't get any! [SpongeBob gives Patrick his soda]
 * SpongeBob: There ya go. More please! [Squidward fills his glass as SpongeBob drinks it really fast]
 * Patrick: [shows Squidward his glass] Squidward!
 * SpongeBob: [shows Squidward his glass] Squidward!
 * Patrick: [shows Squidward his glass] Hey, Squidward!
 * SpongeBob: [shows Squidward his glass] Squidward!
 * Patrick: [shows Squidward his glass] Squidward! [shows Squidward his glass again, but it's still full]Squidward!
 * Squidward: Patrick! Your glass is full!
 * Patrick: Oh, yeah...
 * SpongeBob: [shows Squidward his glass] Squidward!
 * Patrick: [shows Squidward his glass] Hey, Squidward!

 * Patrick: [shows Squidward his glass] Hey, Squidward!
 * SpongeBob and Patrick: [both show Squidward their glasses] Squidward!
 * Squidward: Sorry, boys, I'm all out of pop. I'm gonna go get some more. [walks away] Why don't you just stay here and chat? [closes door. Then we see SpongeBob and Patrick. They are extremely fat and not wanting to look at each other. Then SpongeBob hiccups and a bubble floats up and pops that sounds like a burp. Both of them laugh and the entire house is full of bubbles as Squidward walks up to his door with a grocery bag. Then an explosion and crashing sounds are heard] I should just walk away right now. [opens door to find his house destroyed] What a surprise... I invited them in, and I left them alone. Well, Squidward, what have we learned today? [pieces around the door break]
 * SpongeBob: Guess what, Squidward? [both hug]
 * Patrick: Me and SpongeBob are friends again!
 * Squidward: Great, now go be friends somewhere else.
 * SpongeBob: Don't you want us to help you clean this up a little?
 * Squidward: No! Out! [both walk out]
 * SpongeBob: Psst, I think he's jealous.
 * Patrick: How pathetic. [Squidward shuts door hard and when he turns around as a bubble comes and pops on the door which causes the door to fall on his back]
 * Squidward: Ohhhhh, my back.
