Take over every line of Meet the Heavy and see how close you can get.
The scene
Eighty seconds, thirteen lines, one man and his minigun. The Heavy introduces himself, introduces Sasha, and explains what she costs to operate — four hundred thousand dollars to fire for twelve seconds.
It is the first of Valve's Meet the Team shorts and the one that set the format. The structure is a boast, a laugh, an interruption (someone has touched Sasha), and then the thesis: some people think they can outsmart him, but he has yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet. It ends with the line the community adopted permanently — Cry some more
— delivered twice, once screamed and once almost fondly.

Performing it
A solo character piece, and the accent does most of the work — slow, heavy, with the articles dropped (outsmart bullet
, not outsmart a bullet
). Take it much slower than feels natural. The big laugh in the middle needs to be genuine and hearty rather than a token ha-ha, and it is the moment the whole performance either lands or doesn't. WHO TOUCHED MY GUN?
is the one place to let the volume go. The final Cry some more
should drop right down after the scream — the contrast is the joke. Ideal for a single player who wants one big character rather than a conversation.
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.
