The only way I know to do such a thing would be to take the clip into a 
video editor (e.g., Final Cut or Premiere) and remove the voice, and 
then save the new clip. However, this would be somewhat time consuming 
and the software is expensive (although I'm sure there are cheaper video 
editors that could accomplish this). This would be an interesting 
activity, however, if the goal is to have students try to figure out 
from the facial expressions and speech of the interlocutor just what 
this character might have been saying.

But why not have several students each learn different characters' lines 
and then perform the scene without it playing at all? I have found that 
students get much more excited about this kind of memorization of 
dialog, rather than taking material from a textbook. And the next step 
is to have students write their own prequels or sequels to the scene and 
"perform" them.
