== Transcript ==
[The episode opens with an establishing shot of the Krusty Krab. Cut to Squidward sitting in his booth. He smirks and turns to SpongeBob through the open window to the kitchen with a smug grin on his face.]
Squidward: Hey SpongeBob, what's today's date?
SpongeBob: Um… the 20th of April?
Squidward: Yeah, it's 420! And guess what the episode number of this short is?!
SpongeBob: What is it?
Squidward: 69, dudes!!!!
[Squidward slaps his knee and bursts into a fit of hysterical laughter.]
Squidward: Episode 69! (laughs)
SpongeBob: Um, I don't get it.
[Squidward's laughter starts dying down.]
Squidward: Heh, because… 69… it's a… funny number.
[Mr. Krabs suddenly bursts out of his office, kicking the door down.]
Mr. Krabs: MR. SQUIDWARD!!!!!!
[He makes his way towards Squidward's booth.]
Squidward: Oh, puh-lease! What could you possibly want now?!
Mr. Krabs: What did I tell you about making 69 jokes in me restaurant! You've been working here for twenty odd years, surely you've noticed the sign by now?
Squidward: What sign?!
[Mr. Krabs points to a golden plaque on the far-right wall reading "69 jokes get 69 chokes".]
Squidward: But Mr. Krabs-
Mr. Krabs: There are no buts about it, Mr. Squidward! No 69 jokes and that's final!
Squidward: Well then what about 420 jokes?
Mr. Krabs: Those are just as bad, if not worse! None of those jokes  either!
[A customer approaches the booth.]
Customer: Hey could I order a-
Mr. Krabs and Squidward: Not now!
Customer: Okay, jeez, don't have to be so rude about it. (walks off)
Squidward: Ugh, this is ridiculous! I bet Plankton lets employees make as many 69 jokes as they want! It's a free country, I'm a free man, I should be able to make a funny 69 joke if I want to!
Mr. Krabs: Not in here you aren't! Now get back to work and stop with those jokes, or you're fired!
Squidward: Well in that case I quit!
Mr. Krabs: You wouldn't dare!
Squidward: Oh, watch me bitch.
[Squidward steps out of his booth and throws his work hat on the floor.]
Mr. Krabs: (gasp) Squidward! You put yer uniform back on this instant!
Squidward: I don't work for you anymore!
SpongeBob: Squidward, I don't mean to barge in on this but are you really sure you wanna do this?
Squidward: Of course I do, and if you cared an ounce about your freedom of speech then you'd do the same!
SpongeBob: But Squidward, I like working here!
Squidward: I'll buy you a new bottle of bubble mixture if you leave with me right now on the spot.
SpongeBob: Oh boy, new bubble mixture!
[SpongeBob throws his hat and nametag on the floor and works out of the kitchen.]
Mr. Krabs: Sp- SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: See you later, Mr. K!
[SpongeBob and Squidward walk out.]
Mr. Krabs: Wh- What are you doing?! Come back here now! You can't do this to me!
[The front door is heard slamming.]
Mr. Krabs: (sigh) They'll be back.
[Cut to a cobweb-infested Krusty Krab completely void of any customers. Mr. Krabs is sitting at a table near the front window chewing on a raw Krabby Patty. A mother and daughter walk by the window.] 
Daughter: Mom, I'm hungry! Can't we get something to eat?!
[Mr. Krabs overhears and rushes out the door.]
Mr. Krabs: Well well well, don't I have just the thing on you! Why don't you come down to The Krusty Krab and munch on a delectable Krabby Patty! Get a toy with every kids' meal!
Mother: Ugh, why would we want to be served food by you?!
Mr. Krabs: Um… because… Krabby Patties are tasty?!
Mother: Haven't you checked Twitter this morning?
Mr. Krabs: Haven't I checked what now?
Mother: (sigh) You won't even let your employees make 69 jokes, how disgusting.
[The mother drags her daughter off. Mr. Krabs starts crying.]
Mr. Krabs: Oh, I'm ruined!
[Cut to Mr. Krabs sulking at home by his kitchen.]
Mr. Krabs: (sigh) I've lost me employees, I've lost me customers, and now I've even lost my restaurant! (grabs a knife) I just can't go on anymore.
[Pan out to reveal Mr. Krabs buttering a slice of toast. He finishes and takes a bite.]
Mr. Krabs: Mmm, this is good.
[Cut to SpongeBob and Patrick stirring outside Patrick's house blowing bubbles.]
Patrick: So you're saying you quit your job to get some bubble mixture?
SpongeBob: Pretty much.
[Pause.]
Patrick: So uh… where are you gonna go work now?
SpongeBob: Huh, I hadn't thought about that.
[He blows a bubble in the shape of an elephant.]
SpongeBob: Maybe I could start an OnlyFans.
Patrick: wait wut
