Take over every line of King Bob and see how close you can get.
The scene
Bob pulls the sword from the stone, is crowned King of England, and Buckingham Palace has to deal with it. Forty lines, ninety-nine seconds, and almost none of it is in English: Bob has twenty-six lines of Minionese, Kevin six, Stuart four, and a palace attendant four lines of increasingly strained politeness.
The attendant is the straight man and the only one who can be understood — welcome to Buckingham Palace, whatever's bothering you we can make it right — while the king he's addressing wants his friends, a party, and eventually a kebab for everyone. It opens and closes on the same shouted word, and the middle is a run of laughing, spitting, throat-clearing and one very long raspberry.

Performing it
Nobody is scoring you on the words, which makes this one of the freest packs in the library and one of the easiest to underplay. Bob is all attitude: the two 'KING BOB' shouts bookend the scene and should be enormous, and the babble between them wants real intent behind it, as though every syllable means something specific. Kevin and Stuart are mostly laughter, and laughter is genuinely hard to fake — cue off Bob rather than trying to start it cold. The attendant should stay impeccably polite throughout, which is the joke.
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.
