Summary
Clawdeen and Cleo boast about their preparations to audition for the school play, angering each other. Draculaura invites everyone to begin. Ghoulia "sings" in zombie groans. Lagoona plays a song by pressing on frogs' heads.

When Clawdeen steps onto the stage, Cleo tells her to "break a leg" and throws marbles onto the stage. When Clawdeen trips, Cleo steps on, but Clawdeen jumps on a board, ejecting Cleo, and takes her place. In retaliation, Cleo drops a sandbag and falls onto Clawdeen.

Watching the fight, Draculaura quotes Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (even though the audition was for "Hamlet: the Musical", saying

"The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes."

Play director the Invisible Man is so impressed that he casts Draculaura as the lead in the play, and the audience throws roses to her to celebrate her excellent performance. Clawdeen and Cleo sit in the audience scowling at each other, both with visible injuries from their fight.
