The scene
The very first episode, from the narrator's opening to the job interview. Sixteen of the twenty-five lines are SpongeBob's, Patrick has five, the French narrator two, and Gary contributes two miaows. Just over two minutes.
It opens on the sea, so fascinating, so wonderful, and Bikini Bottom teeming with life. SpongeBob wakes up, announces the big day to Gary, does his exercises, and then says the line the episode is built on — I'm ready — seven times in a row, with Patrick cheering him on from a window.

Performing it
The "I'm ready" run is the reason to pick this pack and it should get faster and more excited rather than louder, seven times without a breath if you can manage it. The narrator's two lines want a warm documentary register and a French lilt if you have one, but don't push it — the calm is the joke against everything else. Gary's two miaows are worth taking seriously; they're answers, not sound effects. Patrick should sound like he has no idea what's happening and is delighted anyway.
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.
