In Brief: Mr. Krabs gets injured and puts Squidward in charge of the Krusty Krab.

Story: It's a beautiful morning, and Squidward's not happy to be stuck inside working with no customers. When Mr. Krabs' money falls on the floor, he rushes out of his office to wash it. One of his coins fall down the sink, so he reaches for it, causing his hand to be stuck inside. While trying to pull his arm and dime out, Mr. Krabs' arms pop right out, causing him to go flying into a wall. A bunch of things land on his head, so an ambulance picks him up. He puts Squidward in charge of the Krusty Krab while he's at the hospital.

To get a day off, Squidward puts SpongeBob in charge of the cash register and the grill, saying he has errands to run. SpongeBob thinks this is a promotion and is honored. As Squidward's walking home to a day of enjoyment, he realizes he never told SpongeBob how to make change and he could do it all wrong. Worried, he races back to the Krusty Krab, then realizes SpongeBob knows how. He leaves again.

At home, Squidward tans when he gets haunted by the thought that SpongeBob might start the Krusty Krab on fire. He races to the Krusty Krab and finds everything is fine. Back at home, Squid tries relaxing when he thinks that SpongeBob will destroy the Krusty Krab. He races back to the Krusty Krab. When he comes back home, he keeps running to and from the Krusty Krab.

To make sure he stops going back, a crazed Squidward boards up his door. While taking a bath, he hears SpongeBob laughing, but it's really coral rubbing against his house outside. An outline of SpongeBob behind his shower curtain is just a toilet. Squid's mind makes him think SpongeBob in his bathtub, so he breaks through his door and races him to the Krusty Krab, naked. He gets there and says a bunch of nonsense to SpongeBob and then says he wants to work at the cash register again. SpongeBob gives him his pants to wear. Then, SpongeBob discovers that they never flipped the 'Closed' sign in the window to 'Open', the reason behind no customers.

Song: (none)

Quotes:

Squidward: Ohh, what a beautiful day. And here I am, trapped in a prison of high cholesterol.

Mr. Krabs: I can think of ten good reasons to never let go of a dime.

SpongeBob: You forgot to teach me how to use...the cash register.

Squidward: You push the button and put the money inside. OK, you're on your own!

SpongeBob: Have you finished those errands?

Squidward: No, I am not finished with those errands and I never will be, so quit checking up on me!

Squidward: *racing down the street, nude* The truth will be revealed!

Patrick: Woohoo! Right on, Squidward!
