1
Your case, the pro bono, I won.
2
How exciting for you.
3
Like I said, it's just a pro bono case.
4
It's not going to help your career.
5
I did also manage to sign 15 new clients who are all suing for the same harassment, and they will be paying, so you can multiply this number times 15.
6
It's not bad for Rookie League.
7
How the hell did you know they were the police?
8
I read this novel in elementary school.
9
Um, cops are staking out a hotel.
10
One of them dresses as a bellhop, the other is a man in a suit.
11
And it was the exact same thing.
12
You read a novel in elementary school?
13
What?
14
I like to read.
15
And why'd you ask them what time it was?
16
Uh, throw them off.
17
I mean, what kind of drug dealer asks a cop what time it is
18
when he's got a briefcase full of pot, right?
19
We should hire you.
20
Jesus, I'd give you the 25 grand as a signing bonus.
21
I'll take it.
22
Unfortunately, we only hire from Harvard, and you not only did not go to Harvard Law School, you haven't even gone to any law school.
23
What if I told you that I consume knowledge like no one you've ever met, and I've actually passed the bar?
24
I'd say you're full of crap.
25
That's a Barbary legal handbook right there, right?
26
Open it up.
27
Read me something.
28
Anything.
29
Anything.
30
Civil liability associated with agency is based on several factors, including the deviation of the agent from his path, the reasonable inference of agency on behalf of the plaintiff,
31
and the nature of the damages themselves.
32
How did you know that?
33
I learned it when I studied for the bar.
34
Okay, hotshot.
35
Fire up this laptop.
36
I'm gonna show you what a Harvard attorney can do.
37
Pick a topic.
38
Stock option backdating.
39
Although backdating options is legal, violations arise related to disclosures under IRC section 409A.
40
You forgot about Sarbanes-Oxley.
41
The statute of limitations render Sarbanes-Oxley moot post-2007.
42
Well, not if you can find actions to cover up the violation as established in the Sixth Circuit, May 2008.
43
That's impressive, but you're sitting at a computer.
44
Playing hearts.
45
Sorry.
46
If you want to beat me, you're gonna have to do it at something else.
47
How can you know all that?
48
I told you, I like to read.
49
And once I read something, I understand it.
50
And once I understand it, I never forget it.
51
Why take the bar?
52
Why take the bar?
53
This dickhead bet me I couldn't pass it without going to law school.
54
Okay, look, this is all pretty fascinating stuff, but I'm afraid I gotta get back to work.
55
I'll make sure that Serpico isn't around waiting for you.
56
You want this job so much, why don't you just go to law school?
57
When I was in college, it was my dream to be a lawyer.
58
I needed some money, and Trevor convinced me to memorize this math test and sell it.
59
Turns out we sold it to the dean's daughter.
60
I lost my scholarship, I got kicked out of school, I...
61
I got knocked into a different life.
62
And I have been wishing for a way back ever since.
63
Let me tell you something.
64
This isn't elementary school.
65
This is hard work.
66
Long hours.
67
High pressure.
68
I need a grown goddamn man.
69
You give me this, and I will work as hard as it takes to school those Harvard douches
70
and become the best lawyer you have ever seen.
71
I'm inclined to give you a shot, but what if I decide to go another way?
72
I'd say that's fair.
73
And sometimes I like to hang out with people who aren't that bright, you know, just to see how the other half lives.
74
Move over.
75
I'm emailing the firm I just found our next associate.
76
Lewis told me what you did at the club.
77
I bet he didn't tell you the whole story.
78
He told me enough to impress me.
79
New business is hard.
80
People will promise you the world, but until they sign that engagement letter, it means nothing.
81
Now, I don't know what you told Tom Keller, but bringing a client in at your age, that reminds me of Harvey.
82
Jessica, before we get started, there's something in the retainer that Tom pointed out.
83
It's not a big deal, really.
84
We were just...
85
No, no, no, no, no, no. Like I said, we're here to make you happy.
86
Right?
87
I thought you wanted nothing to do with him.
88
I didn't.
89
But then I thought about him.
90
You might not be a very good person, but a little deviousness is the sort of thing you look for in a good lawyer.
91
I mean, the other guy I was with you was too nice.
92
We were buddies.
93
We went to school together.
94
It's time I grew up.
95
I got a real shark.
96
Well, I had no intention of being that way, to get your business.
97
That's exactly why I insisted that you be my point, man.
98
I want someone being devious for me, not to me.
99
What?
100
It's just, Lewis never would have told Jessica that I existed, let alone that I helped him if you hadn't done that.
101
Anyway, I see it.
102
If the three of us stick together, it'll make a pretty good team.
103
Well, you brought us back lunch.
104
We would have shared.
105
Amusing.
106
As was this, your little lawsuit.
107
Take your sack of presents and run, kid.
108
You're in way over your head.
109
Oh, I think he'll be just fine.
110
Hello, Vivian.
111
Hello.
112
So the rookie called in the veteran.
113
No, no, I'm just here to watch.
114
I love spectator sports.
115
You enjoy watching the Yankees destroy a little league team?
116
David and Goliath happens to be one of my favorite stories.
117
Okay.
118
I'll bite.
119
What's in the bag? in the bag.
120
Hey, hey, what are you doing?
121
Oh, do you recognize this carpet?
122
Make him get that out of here.
123
This is your own carpet, Mr. Korinski.
124
It's from Frank Carvello's apartment.
125
Come on.
126
You feel the fibers, the texture?
127
It's almost alive.
128
You brought bed bugs in here.
129
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
130
That's vandalism.
131
Assault.
132
You know, I'm happy that you put it that way, because that's exactly what we're going to be charging your client with.
133
What are you talking about?
134
He didn't just fail to eradicate a bedbuck infestation.
135
He actually created one.
136
Yeah, he pulled the carpet from one of his old buildings, carpet that was already infested, and then he reinstalled it in my client's apartment to drive him out.
137
That's crazy.
138
You might want to warn your client about perjury.
139
We've got sworn testimony from the installer.
140
And a picture of the same carpet from one of his old buildings before it was renovated.
141
By the way, my wife and I really love what you've done with the place.
142
So it looks like we're talking about, what, assault?
143
Violations of rental codes, health codes, and, you know, just basic codes of human decency.
144
And if a jury in New York heard all that?
145
Wow, imagine the damages.
146
Harvey, spectate, please.
147
Just get that carpet out of here!
148
So, Vivian, how am I doing for my first time?
149
This still counts as my first time, doesn't it?
150
Now, let's talk about how much this is gonna cost you.
151
Is counsel ready to proceed with opening statements?
152
I'd like to submit a settlement agreement, Your Honor.
153
Plaintiff is ready, Your Honor. Which is it, Counselor?
154
Um, the counsel for the plaintiff and I agreed to a settlement yesterday.
155
He must have misunderstood.
156
We had discussed, but I never agreed to anything.
157
Do you have a signed agreement?
158
I'm...
159
No. No?
160
Then we are ready to proceed.
161
You have the floor.
162
Thank you.
163
On March 31, 2010, Sydney Thompson was unwittingly recorded on a cell phone.
164
She made a joke.
165
The type of joke that I'm sure every person in this courtroom has made at one point or another.
166
And yet, she was fired.
167
She was fired.
168
And yet, she was fired.
169
And yet, she was fired.
170
And yet, she was fired.
171
And yet, she was fired.
172
And yet, she was fired.
173
Mr. Ross.
174
Mr. Ross.
175
Mr. Ross. Are you ready?
176
Um, the, uh, the defense...
177
Uh...
178
According to Bowmaster v.
179
Whiteley, if the party to a settlement is surprised by the repudiation of the settlement, then the court must provide reasonable amount of time to prepare for the trial.
180
Reasonable time?
181
Yes, Your Honor.
182
You get five minutes.
183
The defendant wishes to counter-sue.
184
On what grounds?
185
I believe that's my line, Counselor.
186
Defamation of character.
187
The plaintiff's video negatively impacted the perception of Lena Lunders and impaired her financial well-being.
188
That's ridiculous, Your Honor.
189
In order for there to be defamation, the statements made would have been false.
190
That's not the case here.
191
Then you should have no problem proving that in court.
192
Counter-suit is allowed.
193
Are you serious?
194
Would you like to approach the bench and find out how serious I am?
195
Your Honor, the defense should have filed counterclaims before the trial began.
196
Yes, he should have.
197
But no one in this crop of associates had the foresight to do so.
198
And we drafted a whole addendum just because we assumed one of you would.
199
So I'm going to allow it.
200
Do you have a problem with that?
201
No, Your Honor.
202
This is now a defamation trial.
203
You have until Friday to prepare.
204
$30,000.
205
That is a lot of money.
206
Yeah, it is.
207
It's as much as they've ever paid for a freelance pitch.
208
But those people also got credit, which helped them sell their next idea for more.
209
I thought you said you were worried you'd never have another good idea.
210
Myra, this is the best deal you're gonna get.
211
I'm not exactly sure that's true.
212
No, trust me, it is.
213
Trust me, it is.
214
You said you're in the middle of a merger and that I'm an inconvenience.
215
I did my research.
216
It's a huge merger.
217
I told you that to help you.
218
You told me that to bully me.
219
You only tried to help later.
220
And I succeeded, which is why you have a check for $30,000 in your hands.
221
Do you believe that was my idea?
222
I know you do.
223
That's why you agreed to help me.
224
What's your point?
225
My point is...
226
Leslie was my boss, but I thought we were friends.
227
So when she asked me to trust her, I did.
228
And she betrayed me.
229
Can you imagine what that would be like?
230
I think I figured out a way to get everybody what they want.
231
That's good.
232
What's she doing here?
233
She's here to get what she wants.
234
Which is what exactly?
235
Credits.
236
That's all Myra's looking for.
237
So just admit that you remember the pitch and that you know what you did.
238
I have no intention of doing that because it's not true.
239
So you'd be willing to take a lie detector test to that effect then?
240
I most certainly will not.
241
And I don't appreciate being spoken to like this by my own counsel.
242
Well the thing is, Leslie, that Myra's not the only one who signed an agreement with Drekker Publishing.
243
So did you.
244
And that agreement gives them the right to terminate you if you refuse to submit to a polygraph.
245
And I happen to represent them, not you.
246
I took it.
247
I was under the gun.
248
I was entitled to it, so I took it.
249
You offered me advice and I trusted you.
250
She's threatened by you, Myra.
251
Not a good choice of mentor.
252
Now look, you got the credit you wanted, so sign the deal.
253
I want public credit, not credit in here.
254
This doesn't do me any good.
255
I thought you might say that, which is why I have spent the last 24 hours scanning the entire Drecker publishing catalog.
256
Robert Fallow, Jonathan Dakin, and my personal favorite, Lester Collins.
257
Any one of them could have been written on the basis of your pitch, but they weren't because they were written years before it.
258
Are you saying I plagiarized them?
259
No, I'm saying there's nothing new under the sun.
260
Now, I suggest you sign that deal and go home.
261
Otherwise, we're gonna counter sue for plagiarizing your pitch from our previous works.
262
But it's not true.
263
It's no less legitimate than claiming we stole something you gave us the rights to.
264
And more importantly, it puts you over a barrel, which is where you think you have us.
265
Lyra, you wanna be a writer? and right.
266
But don't ever threaten me or my firm again.
267
We need to get him away from his father.
268
I need to get him away.
269
I shut the hearing and I'm gonna win.
270
I'm hearing a lot of eyes in there.
271
Harvey, this isn't housing court.
272
This is a kid's life.
273
I know that and the only reason you know that is
274
because I gave a about this kid's life in the first place.
275
You think I didn't think I was smarter than the guy I started working for?
276
I did.
277
And I was.
278
And I waited my goddamn turn.
279
Harvey, I'm ready.
280
It's time to let me out of the gate.
281
You've asserted that as a parent you have certain rights.
282
Do those include the right to discipline Marco as you see fit?
283
Every parent has that right.
284
The right to teach your child a lesson?
285
Yes.
286
When he defies you?
287
If need be.
288
And if need be, do you get angry?
289
Do you fly off the handle?
290
Do you become abusive?
291
No, I would never go that far.
292
Mr. Mendoza, would you agree that along with those rights, you have certain responsibilities as a parent? Of course.
293
The responsibility to keep your son healthy?
294
Marco gets up every day at 4.30 to train.
295
I think that one's covered.
296
The responsibility to keep your son safe?
297
That's the first job of every parent.
298
Hmm.
299
Let's talk about May 18th of last year.
300
You took your son to the hospital, where he was treated for severe dehydration.
301
Rushed my son to keep him safe.
302
What I'm interested in is how he got dehydrated in the first place.
303
He was running laps.
304
And hadn't you had an argument about going pro the night before?
305
Yes.
306
And you wanted to teach him a lesson, as was your right.
307
What?
308
He questioned your authority, didn't he?
309
He's done it before, hasn't he?
310
And you don't like that, do you?
311
You are twisting this.
312
You got angry, you flew off the handle, and you became abusive.
313
Objection badgering.
314
Easy, Mr. Ross.
315
Marco has never called 911.
316
He's never reported me to social services.
317
He's never complained to anyone.
318
They never do.
319
You think I put my own son in the hospital?
320
Oh, I've read this report.
321
I know you did.
322
And I know you will again.
323
You are a lying little piece of sh.
324
And there it is.
325
Mr. Mendoza, that's enough.
326
No further questions.
327
You here to talk about Anderton software?
328
Because your 24-hour Liberty Rail Pass is up.
329
Then I guess it's a good thing that just came in the mail for me.
330
What is it?
331
Maintenance records showing they replaced the heat sensors on all of their trains within six weeks after the derailment.
332
Now, why would they do that if they never failed a safety test?
333
They wouldn't.
334
Which means Joe Henderson was telling the truth.
335
I can think of three different ways they'll explain this away.
336
Not if we can get them on record before they know we have it.
337
And why don't they know we have it?
338
The same way I didn't know they got Joe Henderson sealed records.
339
Which means you did something sketchy.
340
Harvey, do you want to spend all night asking me exactly what I did or did not do?
341
Or do you want to help me right a wrong?
342
Donna?
343
Set a deposition with Liberty Rail with Liberty Rail and tell them this time you won't just be Mike.
344
I'm on it.
345
Before the derailment, Liberty Rail conducted tests on the heat sensors on its trains.
346
Is that correct?
347
Of course we did.
348
And why was that?
349
We run tests on all our systems.
350
It's routine.
351
And the finding of that report is that there were no problems with the heat sensors.
352
Are you going to just ask questions that you already know the answers to?
353
It's routine.
354
There weren't any problems with the sensors.
355
And do you routinely replace the heat sensors?
356
Yes.
357
We replace them every five years as part of our regularly scheduled maintenance.
358
And when was the last regularly scheduled maintenance?
359
That would be two years ago.
360
And you wouldn't fix something that wasn't broken, right? Of course not.
361
I'm not in the business of wasting money, gentlemen.
362
I'm a bit confused.
363
If you're not in the business of wasting money and there was nothing wrong with those sensors, then why did you just replace all of them?
364
They didn't replace all of them.
365
I think we'd like your client to answer that question.
366
You're in a bit of a pickle, Richard.
367
You don't know whether to say you did or you didn't.
368
Of course, you could roll the dice with your own life, just like you did with other people's.
369
But the truth is, it doesn't matter, because you already said on camera you didn't replace those sensors.
370
And we have these.
371
Where'd you get these?
372
I'll tell you what I told Joe Henderson.
373
It doesn't matter where they came from.
374
It just matters that they're here.
375
I need to talk to my client.
376
That's a good idea.
377
You should discuss how many zeros you're going to write on that check.
378
And one more thing.
379
You're not only going to write a check, you're going to write a public admission.
380
Because people died in that crash.
381
That's not how this works.
382
That's how it works today.
383
You really gonna force him to make a public admission?
384
Damn right I am.
385
What are you, Mahatma Gandhi?
386
Somebody has to be.
387
You were too busy demanding a bunch of zeros.
388
Well, I was just looking out for you.
389
These suits don't pay for themselves.
390
No, they don't.
391
Mike, great job.
392
You really stepped it up.
393
Thanks, Harvey.
394
I think you might be starting to come into your own, too.
395
Robert, I'm glad you're here.
396
What the hell did you do?
397
What are you talking about?
398
I went to see Emma Powell, but I swear to God, I did not undermine the settlement.
399
I'm not talking about that.
400
I'm talking about you going behind my back to Arcadian.
401
I didn't do that.
402
Oh, you expect me to believe that after all the shit you told me the last time I saw you?
403
You can believe it or not, but I'm telling you, I didn't do anything.
404
Then who did?
405
I did.
406
You said if he colluded with Arcadian, then we could shove a bigger settlement down their throats.
407
But he didn't have to collude, because Arcadian already had access to that settlement.
408
Which makes it insider trading, anyway.
409
And I pointed out to them that if they were to divest their shares to our clients who don't have insider knowledge, then they've done nothing wrong.
410
No harm done.
411
The harm is you lost me my client and made me look like a fool.
412
No, Robert.
413
They did that by not telling you what they did.
414
Which means the client you lost was breaking the law the law
415
and worse than that they were lying to their lawyer so you think this is funny no i don't
416
i think your future son-in-law trusted you had nothing to do with it
417
and then saved your ass from committing a crime you're welcome
418
thank you
419
and you have my condolences for what for having to deal with him oh you have no idea Hey, right here.
420
Standing right here.
421
See, you got yourself an office.
422
That's not as nice as the one I had, but...
423
It's still a step up.
424
You mean because it's smaller or because the view is worse?
425
I mean because it's my old office.
426
You're shitting me.
427
Look in the top left drawer.
428
You're serious.
429
I am.
430
Donna said she did this.
431
She had the idea to give you an office.
432
It was my idea to give you this office.
433
And it just happened to be empty.
434
Something like that.
435
Right.
436
It's good to have you back where you belong.
437
As managing partner, I am officially giving you your first case.
438
Oh, my God.
439
What?
440
It's tradition that the managing partner give all new junior partners their first case.
441
Is that what this is?
442
Yes, it is.
443
Congratulations, Mike.
444
It may not be what I wanted, but I really did mean it when I said you deserve it.
445
Thank you, Jessica.
446
Can't say no many lawyers who bite to work.
447
Old habit.
448
Helps me clear my head before I start a new trial.
449
Whatever it does, I'd say it's working.
450
You were in the courtroom.
451
Six rows back, three seats in.
452
I was.
453
Andy Forsyth.
454
Mike Ross.
455
I know.
456
In fact, you're the reason I took a red eye from Seattle.
457
Why did you do that?
458
Because I'm about to take on the largest health insurer on the West Coast.
459
And I'm building a firm of my own.
460
And from that Times article, you sound like the kind of guy I want as a partner.
461
Well, if you really read that article, you know I already have a job.
462
Not really looking to leave.
463
Not yet, but it's inevitable.
464
How is it inevitable?
465
Because eventually you're going to be in a position where it's your job to defend the indefensible.
466
Look, I'm flattered, but I'm in the middle of a case right now.
467
And the clinic that I'm partnered up with does not have the resources.
468
I'm sorry, but I'm not just gonna abandon them.
469
You won't have to.
470
You just put the fear of God on the other side.
471
They're gonna want to settle this thing by tomorrow.
472
And if they don't?
473
Let me lay this out for you.
474
I'm looking to start a firm that takes on the big guys without relying on funding from anyone.
475
This is the case that's going to make that happen.
476
And when it's over, I want someone to run the place.
477
And that person is you.
478
And before you say anything, Rachel Zane can run her right by your side.
479
Mike, what are you doing here?
480
I didn't think I'd see you till my first day.
481
Well, I'll tell you what I'm doing here.
482
You may be moving to Seattle, but.. you don't have a job yet.
483
I get it.
484
You want to interview me?
485
Well, I don't see another way around it.
486
Otherwise, how am I going to know what I'm getting?
487
You want to know what you're getting?
488
You're getting a guy who doesn't like to hang out with people that aren't that bright.
489
You know, just to see how the other half lives.
490
All right.
491
Well, let me tell you something.
492
This isn't elementary school.
493
This is high pressure, long hours.
494
I need a grown goddamn man.
495
Well, I see you've got a Barbary legal handbook there.
496
Oh, this old thing?
497
Go ahead.
498
Open it.
499
Any page.
500
Ask me anything.
501
You really want to keep going with this?
502
No, I want no other thing.
503
Well, did you at least bring a briefcase full of wheat?
504
No, but I know a guy.
505
Coffee cart.
506
You got it.
507
You're hired.
508
You want to go see him for old times' sake?
509
There'll be plenty of time for that in Seattle.
510
Well.
511
I'll see you there, Harvey.
512
Hey.
513
Yeah, you give me this chance.
514
I promise you I will school those Harvard douches and be the best lawyer you've ever seen.
515
Okay?
516
But you gotta lose the fat tie.
517
First impressions last.
518
You get stuck behind a fat tie, you're never gonna get out in front.
519
Thank you.

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest

Der Sprecher verwendet 155 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel I'm, you're, don't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.

  • Die „th“-Laute: threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/
  • Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: defamation /ˌdɛfəˈmeɪʃən/, violation /ˌvaɪ.əˈleɪ.ʃən/, douche /duːʃ/, publish /ˈpʌblɪʃ/, admission /ədˈmɪʃən/
  • Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: defamation /ˌdɛfəˈmeɪʃən/, violation /ˌvaɪ.əˈleɪ.ʃən/, inevitable /ɪˈnɛvɪtəbəl/, dehydration /dihaɪˈdɹeɪʃən/, deviation /ˌdiː.viˈeɪʃən/

Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:

  • /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): whoa /woʊ/, wheat /ˈwiːt/, warn /woɹn/
  • Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: collude /kəˈluːd/, abusive /əˈbju.sɪv/, proceed /pɹəˈsid/, misunderstand /mɪs.ʌn.də(ɹ)ˈstænd/, shave /ˈʃeɪ̯v/
  • /æ/ — offener als „ä“: handbook /ˈhændˌbʊk/, badger /ˈbæd͡ʒɚ/, eradicate /əˈræd.əˌkeɪt/, fascinate /ˈfæsɪneɪt/, flatter /ˈflætɚ/

So übst du mit diesem Video

  1. Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
  2. Beginne mit 0,75-facher Geschwindigkeit, sprich Satz für Satz nach und wechsle zur normalen Geschwindigkeit, sobald es leichtfällt.
  3. Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie sensor, carpet, defamation.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
