[edit] Plot

SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star perform a hazardous "ritual" that Squidward Tentacles invented, to attract customers. Eugene H. Krabs realizes this is nonsense and decides to have SpongeBob and Patrick do some real work by painting the interior of his house with permanent paint. He tells them not to get the paint on anything except the walls or else he will chop their butts off and hang them on the wall. And all the while they go through hilarious antics frantically attempting not to get the paint on anything on the wall or on any of the hundreds of treasures and paintings in the house. After three hours, SpongeBob puts a drop of paint onto the wall. The drop comes down and SpongeBob blows it to the right. Then he blows it to several different directions. Then, using a hairdryer, he makes a giant paint bubble. Patrick makes another giant paint bubble for him. The two giant paint bubbles join together and make an enormous paint bubble. Patrick makes the bubble bigger and it explodes and all of the paint goes on all of the walls in Mr. Krabs' house. After SpongeBob and Patrick think that they didn't get the paint on anything but the wall, SpongeBob realises that they got paint on Mr. Krabs's first dollar. They try so many things to get the paint off, (ex. smashing with computer) but they don't work. When Mr Krabs comes home, some of Mr. Krabs objects in his house are in the wrong places and the walls have been modified. Mr. Krabs realises that SpongeBob and Patrick got paint over Mr. Krabs' first dollar. By the end, Mr Krabs licks the dollar and the white paint is taken off. He contradicts himself and declares that the paint comes off with saliva. He then starts laughing hysterically, thereby causing saliva to fly all over the walls, causing the entire paint job to disappear! This episode ends with Mr. Krabs saying, "I really gotta learn to say it, not spray it!"

[edit] Trivia/Goofs

A tune from Count Duckula and Dangermouse is used.
This episode breaks the 4th wall due to the fact that Patrick was the one using the time cards.
Mr. Krabs shows his sensitive side by keeping a very well organized Doll-a-Rama.
There is no crayon on the dollar until Mr. Krabs holds it up because there isn't a close-up at that time.
When Mr. Krabs was getting rid of the pictures hanging on the walls, you could see a picture of Painty the Pirate (the pirate captain that sings the theme song).
This is the only episode which portrays Patrick as having a nose, even though it's just a hole.
In this episode, his dollar looks modern, unlike his dime in Can You Spare a Dime?.
The beginning credits are light blue like in season 1.
It is revealed that Mr. Krabs collects junk of all kinds.
