Just searched and found it on YT (the top comment there incidentally refers to the exact same moment):

7:35 to 8:30... what brilliance! .
He gets slapped the first time and then silently continues taking in mouthfuls while RK tries to pacify the crying lady! Now RK addresses him directly. He's shitscared that he's gonna get slapped again, but tries to appreciate RK's conversation, nodding and agreeing to whatever he is told. He hardly has a dialog, but his expressions... boy! sidesplitting funny!
corrett!
