After the commercial airs once at three in the morning, a blind man recognizes SpongeBob. SpongeBob's head blows up and he tells Mr. Krabs that he is going to have to quit the Krusty Krab now that he's a big famous star. Spongebob is convinced that his public needs him. When his public demands that they see him frying Krabby Patties, SpongeBob doesn't think he's anyone to deny them. He ends up cooking patties just like he always has. Can You Spare a Dime?: Squidward is fed up with Mr. Krab's insults and he quits, bragging about how easy it will be to find another job. But of course, it's not and Squidward falls upon hard times. He goes though all his savings and is dirt poor. Having no where else to turn, he asks SpongeBob if he can crash at the Pineapple for awhile, just until he gets back on his feet. SpongeBob's heart goes out to him, but soon Squidward takes advantage of SpongeBob's hospitality and becomes the house guest who has completely overstayed his welcome. SpongeBob has to beg Mr. Krabs to hire Squidward back at the Krusty Krab. Written by NAS See less
