The scene
Prince Charming interrogates the fairytale creatures and gets nothing, because the one who can't lie has learned to talk. Eleven of the thirty-six lines are Charming's, eight Pinocchio's, seven Gingy's, and the rest are scattered across three pigs, Captain Hook, Papa Bear, a mirror-bound Farquaad and Wolfie.
Gingy holds out first — the name doesn't ring a bell, and the only thing Charming will be king of is King of the Stupids — and sings under torture. Then Charming turns to Pinocchio, who cannot lie and therefore constructs sentences of such recursive negation that Charming has to shout at him to stop. A pig cracks instead.

Performing it
Pinocchio's lines are the reason to pick this pack and they are genuinely hard: long chains of not-quite-denials that only work at speed and with total confidence. Read them a few times before you record — the trick is to never sound uncertain, because he isn't lying, he's navigating. Charming should get progressively more exasperated without ever quite losing composure until "stop it". Gingy's song is sung twice, badly, and should stay cheerful even while he's being tortured, which is what makes it funny.
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.
