Standing at the concession! Plotting his oppression!

What the heck does that mean?

I don't know. Squidward told me to yell it at people.

Then, you must be SpongeBob SquarePants!

Yes.

Dude, you are like a fry cook legend!

Will you sign my spatula?

Anything for an aspiring fry cook.

So did you come down to help out the cause?

No. I can to take your job.

Hey, thanks, dude!

Attention, SpongeBob! You are a terrible striker!

You just let your replacement cross our picket line

without so much as a single threat.

I'm sorry, Squidward. How about I try the signs again?

Forget the signs!

I got something for you to do.

Go stand over there.

Like this, Squidward?

Almost. A little more to the right.

And... perfect.

Attention, people of Bikini Bottom!

You have been cheated and lied to!

I knew it.

The gentle laborer shall no longer suffer

from the noxious greed of Mr. Krabs!

What's that guy talking about?

I don't know, but he's got a megaphone.

We will dismantle oppression board by board!

We'll saw the foundation of big business in half,

even if it takes an eternity!

Gee, I don't know what Squidward's talking about,

but he sure sounds convincing.

With your support, we will send the hammer

of the people's will crashing through the windows

of Mr. Krabs' house of servitude!

[cheering]

Wow, all this supporting is making me hungry.

Hey, everybody! Let's go get a Krabby Patty.

[cheering]

Nobody gives a care about the fate of labor

as long as they can get their instant gratification.

That was a great speech, Squidward.

You practically had them eating out of your hands.

But they didn't, did they, Mr. Squidward?

'Cause they were too busy eatin' out of mine.

I wish you two had gone on strike earlier.

Thanks for attractin' all these payin' customers

with all your signage and your sloganeerin'!

Alright, Mr. Krabs. You've gone too far this time.

You can pick on me, but Squidward is a great leader!

We are workers united!

We're tired of your smelly greed!

And we're gonna saw all your tables,

and we're gonna smash stuff with the people's hammer.

And we're gonna... we're gonna... um...

Squidward, what was that other part?

Dismantle your oppressive establishment?

Yeah, that, too!

And me and Squidward are gonna stay on strike

until we get what we deserve! Even if it takes forever!

Forever! Forever!

Forever! Forever!

On strike with SpongeBob... forever?!

Hey, Squidward.

I bet old man Krabs is gonna break any day.

Eh, Squidward? Eh, Squidward?

Nyeh, Squidward? Nyeh, Squidward?

Nyeh, Squidward? Nyeh, Squidward?

[screaming]

I gotta beg Mr. Krabs for my job back

and put an end to this nightmare!

[shrieking]

Oh! Uh, evenin', Mr. Squidward.

Uh... I was just in the neighborhood

and I, uh... thought I'd drop by

to... beg ya to come back to work!

The Krusty Krab is a wreck!

I'm ruined without you and the little yellow guy.

The teenagers I hired is ruinin' the place!

And the worst part is, they won't leave me alone!

Alright, Mr. Krabs!

See what I mean? Squidward, please!

You gotta come back!

You'll give us anything we want?

Yes, anything. So what do ya say,

Mr. Squidward?

Your story breaks my heart, Mr. Krabs.

Why don't we take a little walk and, uh, discuss my terms?

I got a bad feelin' in the pit of me wallet.

[music playing]

Gee, being on strike with Squidward sure is a kick.

Squidward's words are still buzzing around

in my head like an angry jellyfish.

Squidward was right! I can't just sit here,

It's time for action!

I will restore the working man to his rightful glory.

I will dismantle this oppressive establishment

board by board!

I will saw the tables of tyranny in half.

Gnaw at the ankles of big business!

Squidward will be so proud!

Well, Squidward, those were intense negotiations.

I'm glad you saw it our way, Mr. Krabs.

Now I can fire them teenagers and get me two golden boys back.

[gasping, screaming]

Well, see ya at work!

[humming]

[laughing]

S-Sp-SpongeBob! W-W-What have you done?

I did exactly as you said, Squidward.

I dismantled the establishment!

Now we'll get our jobs back for sure.

[humming]

Squidward! SpongeBob!

[both] Yes, Mr. Krabs?

Here it comes!

In order to pay off these damages,

you two are gonna work for me forever!

Ya-hoo! The strike worked, Squidward!

We got our jobs back! Forever!

Forever! Forever! Forever!

One eternity later...
