Plot

Squidward throws a bubble gum wrapper on SpongeBob's lawn. When SpongeBob discovers it, he asks Squidward if he wants it back. However, Squidward tells SpongeBob he can have it. However, SpongeBob now tells him on the Shell Phone, and Squidward has his long and final persuasion to give the paper to SpongeBob "Take it SpongeBob, yes, take it please, I promise you no matter how much I may beg, and plead, and cry, don't give that paper back to me...Ever!" and SpongeBob agrees to confirm his promise. Squidward is about to play Mary Had a Little Lamb but SpongeBob is laughing about all the fun he is thinking about that he's going to soon have.

Squidward laughs and enjoys his own time reading Boring Science Digest, taking a bath, and drawing art. While drawing, Squidward accidentally paints himself having fun with a piece of paper. When he breaks it, the Squidward painting's mouth is open and invisibly cries by his death. Squidward watches him have lots and lots of fun until the Mary Had A Little Lamb duet.

Squidward tries to get it back but SpongeBob keeps his promise. Squidward trades in everything back, and finally his own shirt-cloth and SpongeBob cannot help and it decides to break his promise. Squidward tries to have fun with the paper but cannot, he traded everything for the worthless piece of paper for nothing and soon Patrick took the paper from Squidward and uses it to put his gum on it and Patrick comes over to SpongeBob to play.

Squidward is now all alone and the season is beginning to become winter. Then Squidward says, "Anybody have any sunscreen?"

Trivia/Goofs

• This episode is hardly ever seen on TV because it is paired up with a holiday episode.
• Clips of this episode were seen on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on Nov. 25th, 2006.
• Little Squidward is a reference to another character in another SpongeBob episode, Mini Squidward in the episode: Squid Wood

• Little Squidward is similar to the toy acting in Toy Story.
• Little Squidward is the older brother of Mini Squidward, and the 2 wooden Squidward toys are enemies of the real Squidward.
• The paper cartoon proof SpongeBob shows is very accurate, even with the same music!
• SpongeBob's monkey face impression while standing on his pineapple home is a possible parody of King Kong.
• SpongeBob says he will play A Minor, which means the music sounds sad, but it is in C Major.
• When Squidward is playing his clarinet to SpongeBob, the musical notes fall. This is a possible parody of "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh" movie when the letters from the book fall.
• This episode possibly broke the fourth wall because SpongeBob had the papers showing Squidward proof of what he just said, meaning he took the papers out of the cartoon.
• In this episode SpongeBob was brilliant at playing on the paper. Yet in Squidward, the Unfriendly Ghost he couldn't play at all. However he could have improved overtime.
