The scene
Squidward throws his back out and SpongeBob decides to help. Eleven lines in thirty-one seconds — Squidward seven, SpongeBob four — and the entire structure is one man saying no and another man not hearing it.
Squidward opens with a grunt and two cries of pain, and everything after that is refusal: stay back, get away from me, no no no. SpongeBob's four lines are all offers of assistance, delivered with the cheerfulness of someone who has waited years for this. It ends on a scream, which is the only possible ending.

Performing it
The shortest scene in this batch and one of the easiest to land, because the two parts never have to modulate — Squidward is in pain and rising towards panic, SpongeBob is delighted throughout and never once notices. Pitch them far apart. Squidward's I threw out my baacccckkk
wants the vowel stretched as long as your breath allows. The final scream should be bigger than anything before it. Thirty seconds makes this a good first solo, and a good warm-up before something longer.
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.
