Plot
After another day of working in the Krusty Krab, Squidward is glad to finally be able to go home - he is looking forward to a night of relaxation at his home. However, his dream is crushed when Mr. Krabs happily comes out of his office to announce that the restaurant has just received an order for 2,500 Krabby Patties "of high quality" from the Lord Mayor of Bikini Bottom, William C.

SpongeBob goes to Squidward's house, but Squidward refuses to speak to him.
