Still from Presentation!, a scene in Megamind

Hal? More like Hal Volcano ha ha!

The scene

Hal, now calling himself Titan, has cornered Roxanne and is lecturing her about the real world — no Easter Bunny, no Tooth Fairy, and, in the one line everyone remembers from this speech, no Queen of England — when Megamind arrives to dispute his credentials. Nine lines for Hal, three for Megamind, fifty-five seconds. Hal says this town cannot hold two supervillains; Megamind grants he is a villain, just not a super one; Hal asks what the difference is; Megamind answers with one word, and Hal's remaining four lines are all screaming.

It is a joke with a very long fuse and a very short bang. Hal's lecture is petulant and self-important, the voice of someone who has just acquired powers and no wisdom, and it runs for three lines before the interruption. Megamind's three lines are the entire counterargument, and the single-word answer is the punchline the whole scene bends toward. Then the screams — four of them, identical on paper, each a separate cue. For a dub this means a lot of talking for one player and one perfectly timed word plus a lot of yelling for whoever plays the other side of it.

Performing it

Hal's opening trio is the long part: three lines of condescension that build to the Queen of England without tipping into a shout, because he needs somewhere to go later. Megamind's answer is one word and it is the whole scene — pause before it, hit it with theatrical relish, add nothing. Then the four screams. They are separate cues, so vary them: surprise, pain, indignation, despair, in whatever order the picture suggests. Suits a two-player room where one player is happy to do almost all the talking and the other wants the single best line. Solo, the challenge is switching from whining to grandeur in one breath.

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.
