At the Krusty Krab, the customers are very hungry. Squidward asks SpongeBob why the orders aren't ready yet. SpongeBob explains that he is practicing for an oral report that he must do for boating school. Squidward says that "public speaking" causes stress, but SpongeBob explains how he is good at "public speaking". SpongeBob then walks out, ready to give the customers their orders, and gets scared because they are acting zombie-like. SpongeBob realizes that he has stage fright. The customer starts fighting for the single order as Squidward gets beaten up after trying to give a customer its order, which makes SpongeBob even more frightened. Alex then shows up and pounds the daylights out of all the customers for attacking Squidward. It then cuts to Patrick's rock. Patrick opens it, only to realize he has the wrong rock, but SpongeBob pulls him in. SpongeBob asks Patrick to help him practice by listening to his speech. SpongeBob is prevented of practicing his she says if he wants to pass, then he has to give the report. Patrick gives SpongeBob the goggles but accidentally breaks them in the process.
