Lot's of dialogues really.

Short answer: sound streams take space.

Long answer: you can literally play the game on one disc with a cheat code, if you don't care about giving up some cutscenes and codec calls (they're there but text only).

This. The coding for games takes up a mere fraction of the disc space. The majority of it is used for graphics and sound. And also cinematics.

Does this mean you can do the same with disc 2? Meaning you have 2 copies of the game?
