What's really going on
The first half is a courtroom in miniature, and its verdict is reached before anyone asks a real question. The toys do not investigate; they pick a suspect and escalate, sliding from a rhyme — "Humpty-Dumpty was pushed" — to a literal mob: "Let's string him up by his pull string." The comedy runs on how fast accusation becomes conviction. The gas-station half flips the same dynamic into a two-hander. Woody and Buzz each insist the other is responsible, but only one of them has a version of reality, since Buzz still believes he is a space ranger. When Woody finally says he is a toy, it is meant to wound, and it lands hardest because it is true. The scene leaves them stranded and dependent on each other.

Questions about this scene
Why do the toys turn on Woody?
Because Buzz is knocked out of the window right after the two argue, and the toys decide it was no accident. They treat Woody as guilty without a trial.
Is Woody actually guilty?
It was an accident, though Woody was the one holding Buzz when it happened. The scene never gives the toys proof either way, which is why the accusation spreads so easily.
What does frag mean?
It is military slang for killing someone, especially a fellow soldier. The toys shout "Frag him!" at Woody, which shows how quickly the room turns violent.
Why does Buzz say they are not on his planet?
He uses it as a setup: his world forbids revenge, but since they are on Earth, the rule does not protect Woody. It signals the attack that follows.
What happens between Woody and Buzz at the gas station?
They argue about who caused the fall, and Woody finally tells Buzz he is a toy. Buzz refuses to believe it and leaves, while Woody is stranded.
