Plot

As a surprise for Spencer, the iCarly gang invites Harry Joyner, Spencer's art idol, to the apartment, but the plan backfires after Harry criticizes Spencer's sculptures instead of praising them. This causes Spencer to become deeply depressed. To make it up to him, Carly decides to showcase all of Spencer's sculptures on iCarly, but despite the sculptures on the webcast getting many positive comments, Spencer decides to give up on art to become a dental assistant. Carly and her friends try to help him to get back to his old self by convincing Harry Joyner to admit he actually likes Spencer's sculptures. Harry Joyner eventually admits that Spencer's sculptures are good, and he lied because he was jealous that Spencer's sculptures are better than his own recent works. His mojo restored, Spencer and Harry create a giant sculpture of a mouth with rainbow colored teeth for the waiting room, and Spencer gives the iCarlys $40 ($41 for Carly) as thanks for helping him.

Meanwhile, Sam tries to resist the temptation to insult Freddie for a whole week, or she will have to pay him $5.00 for each insult after Freddie bets her she can't do it, which almost drives her insane, she evens scream into a locker. When a dentist pays Spencer to make a sculpture, he splits the money with Carly, Sam, and Freddie, and Sam uses her $40 to insult Freddie.

Freddie: Do you even know what Harry Joyner looks like? Carly: Yeah, you know, he looks like a man, with a face and hair... Sam: Yeah, I have an uncle that looks a lot like that.

Freddie: That is so cool! Sam: You know what else is cool? Freddie: What? Sam: Not you!

This quote won first place for Best Quote at the iCarly Wiki Awards! Carly: Spencer, it's been 4 hours. I think you need to get off the kitchen table. Spencer: Why? Is Santa Claus here to tell me I'm ugly, and have no friends? [Carly starts trying to get Spencer off the table] Carly: Spencer, get up, come on. Spencer: No. Carly: You need to get off the table. Come on, get up, get up. Spencer: No, I'm comfy right here. [falls to the floor; flatly] Ow. Carly: You weren't supposed to fall on the floor. Spencer: [still flatly] Well, you know- gravity. [Carly helps Spencer stand up] Carly: So Harry Joyner didn't like your art. He's one person. Spencer: Yeah. My number one idol in the art world, and he thinks my sculptures are amateurish, and not good. This may be the worst thing that's ever happened in my life. It's like a giant rain cloud has opened up above me, and- [he giggles when Carly starts tickling him] No, don't! This isn't funny! [Spencer runs for his room off-screen, with Carly following] Carly: Spencer! Spencer: No! Carly: Spencer! Spencer: No! [A door closes off-screen] Carly: Spencer, open the door. Spencer: I wanna be alone!

Freddie: Hey. [taps Sam with his foot] You wanna go to the Galaxy Wars convention this weekend? I'm dressing up as Nug-Nug from the planet Zorkon. Sam: [flatly and passively] I'm not gonna insult you, Freddie. You're not getting five bucks outta me. Freddie: [sighs and sits back in the bean bag chair with his hands behind his head as though visualizing] When I grow up, I wonder what kinda girl would wanna marry me. Sam: [grabs cushion and furiously bites it to stop herself from insulting Freddie] Freddie: After I take a shower, my mom makes me sign a piece of paper promising that I shampooed twice. Sam: [sets pillow down and screams into it while pounding her hands and feet on the floor]. Carly: [enters the room and looks down at Sam's tantrum with uncertainty] Should I call an ambulance? Sam: [looks up at Carly] Make him stop setting me up to insult him! It's killing me! Freddie: You're the one who said- Carly: You guys, not now. Spencer's really upset.

Carly: Hello, people of Earth who own computers! Sam: Congratulations, you have just signed on to iCarly.com! Carly: So kick back, take off your socks, and enjoy this fine webcast! Sam: I'm Carly! Carly: I'm Sam! Carly: Wait. [Carly and Sam switch places] Carly: I'm Carly! Sam: I'm Sam! Carly & Sam: We were momentarily confused!

[showing Spencer´s art on her webcast] Sam: Okay ... Carly: Look at this next sculpture. Sam: It's a robot... Carly: Made out of soda bottles. Sam: His eyes light up red... Carly: Whether he's angry or not. Sam: Now, this sculpture is called... Carly: The Bottle Bot. Sam: Not to be confused with "Bubble-butt," which is what I call our teacher, the horrible Ms. Briggs. Carly: Why say that live on the web? She already hates you. Sam: Which means I have nothing to lose!!

[Carly tries to cheer up Spencer] Carly: Read these. Thousands of people saying they love your sculptures! Spencer: Then give 'em to those people 'cause I got myself a new job. Sam: Like a REAL job? Carly: You can't have a real job, you're Spencer!

Mrs. Benson: Freddie, you didn't sign the shampoo agreement. How do I know if you double pooed? [Sam stares at them incredulously] Freddie: [Looking at Sam] You thought I was kidding.

Freddie: Aww, I think someone needs a hug. Carly: Thanks. [hugging for a long time] Uh, Freddie? Freddie, we can un-hug now. Freddie: Please let this last.

Spencer: You think I have too much here? Joyner: Don't ask me! You use as much as you think you need! Spencer: But I want your opinion! Joyner: You don't need my opinion! Spencer: I crave your opinion! Joyner: I crave a hamburger! Spencer: I'll make you a hamburger as soon as we're done! Joyner: All right.

Freddie: I would've been here sooner, but, uh, I was helping my mom knit a sweater. Any comment? Sam: Aw, please let me insult you once for free! Freddie: Nope! Five bucks an insult! Sam: Then I think it's very sweet you were helping your mommy knit. Freddie: Impressive. Sam: You're just lucky I'm broke.

Sam: And now that I have 40 bucks ... [Hands $5 to Freddie] You're a nerd. Freddie : [Takes the money and smiles] Thank you. Sam: [Continues handing Freddie money] Your breath smells like dead feet. Freddie: Sure. Sam: No girl will ever want you. Freddie: Noted. Sam: I don't like your pants. Freddie: Fair enough. Sam: If you were a country, you'd be El Salvadork. Freddie: Clever. Sam: Did I make fun of your butt yet? Freddie: Nope. Sam: It's oddly shaped. Freddie: Keep going. Sam: So's your head. Freddie: Awesome!
