User:Kamek98/Bubblestand

"Bubblestand" is the first episode of the second production number and the fourth overall episode of the first season. It is also the overall fourth episode of the Nickelodeon animated series SpongeBob SquarePants. The episode was aired on July 17th 1999, and unlike the first production number, contained two episodes instead of three.

Plot
The introduction scene shows SpongeBob walking outside his house on what he claims to be "a wonderful day", admiring the peacefulness of the local neighborhood. Scallops chirp. (as if they were birds) He then takes some wood, nails, and a hammer in order to make a bubblestand, while being considerably loud and noisy doing it. Hearing this, SpongeBob's neighbor Squidward Tentacles sticks his head out of a window on his residence and requests SpongeBob to be more quiet. SpongeBob agrees, and Squidward returns to his clarinet playing with a sarcastic remark. Attempting to see if Squidward was returning to request being more quiet, SpongeBob glances at his window and lightly taps a nail into the wood (of his bubblestand). He then looks back at Squidward's window and repeats this process a total of five times. Squidward does not return to SpongeBob. Squidward, inside his house, is playing his clarinet and pretends to thank an aroused crowd of fans. SpongeBob notices, and attempts to finish his bubblestand quickly (with loud noises again). Indeed, Squidward notices and quickly peeks his head out again in frustration, but is stopped when he sees SpongeBob's newly finished bubblestand. SpongeBob asks if he would like to blow a bubble for ¢25 but Squidward refuses in question on why anyone would pay to blow a bubble. Immediately after, Patrick's rock lifts up (as if it were a lid) and he wanders over to the bubblestand. Squidward senses an increase to his irritation. SpongeBob then asks Patrick if he would like to blow a bubble for ¢25, and Patrick claims it sounds reasonable and then asks SpongeBob if he can borrow a quarter and he obliges. Squidward, to himself, mocks the two (calling them idiots) after making a sarcastic joke, saying "business is booming". When Patrick proceeds to try and blow a bubble, he cannot. Therefore, SpongeBob puts up a sign and offers Patrick lessons for the same price. Again, Patrick asks SpongeBob to borrow a quarter to the same result. SpongeBob then proceeds to perform a demonstration of blowing a bubble for Patrick, and makes what appears to be a dance about it. (First go like this, spin around. Stop! Double take three times. One, two three. Then pelvic thrust. Whooooooo, whooooooo. Stop on your right foot, don't forget it! Now it's time to bring it around town. Bring-it-a-round-town.) SpongeBob then blows three bubbles: a duck and two infant ducks. SpongeBob then shows Patrick a show of bubbles shaped like zoo animals. One of them floats into Squidward's house and it explodes. Angry and confused, Squidward asks the two how anyone could make so much noise blowing bubbles. SpongeBob then states that they're not only blowing bubbles, but they are also making "bubble art". He then repeats the demonstration he showed to Patrick moments before. A bubble blown by SpongeBob lands on Squidward's head and pops. Squidward, in response, mocks the activity and sadden the two jolly bubble blowers. Then, suddenly SpongeBob informs Squidward that costed a quarter and also informs him of the lessons as well. Squidward then claims that the activity is too simple for their to be a beginner class and hands over the ¢25, grabs the bubble wand, and inhales deeply. When he attempts to blow a bubble, he fails. Squidward says it was merely a warm-up and tries again. He also fails again. He would proceed to do this another time and becomes furious. He also becomes extremely anxious. When SpongeBob tells Squidward he isn't doing the technique, Squidward mockingly does what SpongeBob showed to both of the two customers and blows an enormous bubble. However, he is swallowed whole by the enormous blown bubble. SpongeBob and Patrick cheer as the bubble lifts him off the ground and begins to float away with him concealed within it. Squidward grows excited with his accomplishment until suddenly SpongeBob starts to notice that Squidward was growing farther away from them. SpongeBob tries to grab Squidward's attention, but fails. Squidward is fed up in the moment, and the bubble passes overhead the other two. The bubble then hovers over Squidward's house and snatches it up as well. The bubble, Squidward, and his house then float towards the top of the ocean. When Squidward realizes what has happened, (considerably high from the ocean floor) sarcastically says "...genius" and the bubble bursts. Squidward and his house fall down back to the ocean floor. SpongeBob and Patrick run away towards their respective houses. Squidward's house lands in its initial position and the episode ends as he plays his clarinet.
