the original scene (starting at approximately 54:37 and ending at 58:44)

as with my previous translation, in case you're seeing this post and have not seen or heard of the guy who didn't like musicals (which could be likely, seeing as I'm posting this under the toki pona tag), the scene I've translated above is in the video linked below for reference.
