[The episode begins at nighttime. Squidward, who appears to be very tired, is getting ready to go to bed]
Oh, why can't I get to sleep? Let's try it again. [sighs] Warm milk. [drinks milk] White noise machine. [turns on the noise machine and it blows bubbles out. He groans as he closes his eyes. His eyelids say "10 Grit" on them. Then he wakes up] Dim lights. [turns off lights and groans; sings] ♪ Sleep, little Squidward, catch some winks / Everything and everybody clearly stinks ♪ [shuts his eyes, curls up in his bed, and tries to go to sleep. Suddenly, a loud belch is heard and a startled Squidward screams and clings on the ceiling with his suction cups]
[At SpongeBob's house, SpongeBob and Patrick are laughing while having a sleepover]
[chugs down a liter of soda and swallows it. His bottom begins to bubble up] Oh, yeah! Fizz Bomb Cola!
Fire in the hole!
[SpongeBob's body bubbles up and he makes a really loud belch. SpongeBob and Patrick laugh]
[yelling] Hey! Will you two psychopaths keep it down?!
Oh, hi, Squidward. How ya doing?
Horrible! I haven't slept for three days!
[grabs Squidward's hand and shakes it] Hey, that's great!
It is not great! [pulls back his hand] I've got an audition with the Bikini Bottom Philharmonic Orchestra tomorrow morning, and I'm a nervous wreck!
[appears behind Squidward] Why don't you try taking a walk? Works for me.
You know, normally, I jump up and scream when you appear like that. But I'm so tired, I'm just gonna take your stupid advice. [walks away]
