The scene

The cast finally says it to Caine's face. He is fishing for reassurance about his new adventures — the ideas feel half-baked, the spark is gone, if nobody's having fun then who is — and Ragatha keeps him talking while he starts to notice that Kinger isn't in the room. Nineteen of the forty lines are Caine's; Pomni, Ragatha and Zooble share most of the rest.

Then Pomni tells him his ideas suck, and the reassurance turns into an itemised list: he baited them, he's a horrible host, he cares more about his own ego than anything they'd enjoy, he never lets them feel at home, he discourages them, he lies, and he doesn't listen. Caine's replies get shorter until they stop being words, and it ends with a threat.

Performing it

Caine's first half is a performer fishing for a compliment, so play it warm and a little needy rather than sinister — that's what makes the turn land. Everyone else has to hold a secret for the first fifteen lines, and Ragatha in particular should sound like someone improvising badly under pressure. The three "huh?"s land together and are funnier tight. The last three lines are the collapse; give them room, and the final threat should be quieter and slower than the shouting before it.

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.
