The scene
Three Minions break into a prison kitchen and one of them ends up performing a full song about food in a language that isn't one. Carl carries thirty of the thirty-six lines, nearly all of them verses; Stuart, Jerry and three guards have one or two each, and the guards are the only ones speaking English.
It starts as a heist — pizza, spaghetti, an alarm, backup called — and turns into a musical number built entirely out of food words: macarena, massala, bologna, lasagna, and the title line about papa, mama and a pipe. The chorus comes round four times and the last one is held until Carl audibly runs out of air.

¡Ah! ¡Hey bel! ¡La bastichi! ¡La papaya! ¡Du la potato!
¿Oh? ¡La pizza! ¡Para comer! ¡Nule bufa la spaghetti!
¿Huh? ¡Hey! ¿What are you doing? ¡Intruders! ¡Intrudeers!
There are 33 more waiting in the studio.
Performing it
This is a singing part, and the words are the least of it. Carl needs pitch and commitment; the syllables are nonsense, so all the information is in the melody and the swagger. Learn where the chorus repeats — four times, the last one extended — and save breath for it, because the pack ends on a held note and a gasp. The guards are the straight men and the only English in the scene, so play them as genuinely alarmed rather than comic. In a room, one person should take Carl and everyone else should take the interruptions.
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.
