The scene
An owl on lookout, a pig chanting for pizza, and a delivery man who has no idea what he's walked into. Twenty-six lines in Brazilian Portuguese: Ottis has nine, the delivery man eight, and the rest go to the pig, the owl, a rat and a second delivery man.
It opens with hooting, a false alarm — relax, it's just the pizza guy — and a pig losing control at the word pizza. The delivery man jokes about the size of the order, Ottis says they're having a party, a very human thing, and the delivery man says he loves parties and wonders whether he could... Two minutes, and it doesn't go well for him.

Performing it
The pig's chant is the standout: four repetitions of one word, and it should sound like an animal that has stopped being able to think. The delivery man is the straight man and the only one who doesn't know what's happening, so keep him relaxed and chatty far past the point where he should be worried. Ottis is doing an impression of a normal person and should be slightly too smooth about it — the "a very human thing" line wants a small pause before and after. The owl's hoots open the scene and set its volume, so don't undersell them.
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.
