The scene
Clarence orders at a fast food counter on behalf of a friend whose speech nobody else can parse. Twenty-nine lines in a minute across eight parts — Clarence eleven, the Cashier seven, Jeff five, and one or two each for Sumo, a mother and three shrieking children.
The first half is Clarence establishing that the burgers, nuggets, fries and soda pop are all good, and Jeff calmly confirming that he likes only the fries. Then the counter. Sumo orders a chicken burger with roster sauce; the cashier asks what that was, sweetie; Clarence translates without hesitating, twice, as though everyone can obviously hear it. The joke is that he can.

The burgers here are good the chicken nugget's good
the fries are good and the soda pop is really good.
I only like the fries here
There are 26 more waiting in the studio.
Performing it
Eight parts in under a minute, four of them a single line, which makes this the easiest large-group pack in this batch to fill — the three screaming children are exactly as demanding as they sound. Sumo is the part worth casting carefully: the lines are written phonetically with the real words in brackets, so play the sound rather than the sentence, and commit. Clarence should translate cheerfully and instantly, with no pause to interpret — the pause would kill it. Jeff's five flat refusals are the driest comedy in the scene and want almost no inflection at all.
The dialogue is muted and everything else stays — the score, the room, the picture. You record each line over the silence and the scene plays back with you in the cast. How a dub is made · what the score measures.
