1
Nick!
2
What's wrong?
3
I've been trying to get you to plan Fourth of July with me for over a month, and you keep saying later.
4
Well, it's later, and we have to do this now.
5
Look, in my defense, I didn't know you were planning anything.
6
Well, what did you think I was doing?
7
I thought you were just talking.
8
Look, a plan isn't a plan unless the person that you're planning with knows it's a plan, too.
9
Fine.
10
Next time, I'll remember to put, I'll remember to put, pay attention, I'm talking to you, in your calendar.
11
Now, can we put these tickets now?
12
Because they're the only cheap ones left.
13
Mm-hmm.
14
Nick, listen to me.
15
I'm listening.
16
You said tickets.
17
Okay.
18
These tickets cost $240 each.
19
Each round trip?
20
Yes.
21
No connection?
22
No. Nick.
23
Well, okay, then, uh, then get them.
24
Well, they're non-refundable.
25
What if you have to work?
26
Okay, then don't get them.
27
Uh, get some other ones.
28
But the other ones are twice as much.
29
Okay, then get these.
30
But these have additional baggage fees.
31
Do you think we can take one bag each?
32
I don't know.
33
How much does it cost for the extra bag?
34
$50 per bag per person.
35
Oh, man.
36
You mean to tell me that if we left our luggage, we could actually take another person?
37
Nick, focus.
38
Okay, I'm focused.
39
Look.
40
All right, uh, so these tickets cost twice as much.
41
How much does it cost for the extra bag with those?
42
$35.
43
Okay, so it's really not twice as much.
44
It's twice as much, minus 50, plus 35, Plus they're refundable.
45
How much does it cost to change these tickets?
46
$100.
47
Well, what's that?
48
I don't know.
49
What, you didn't figure this out already?
50
I was waiting for you.
51
What, you can't count by yourself?
52
You know what?
53
I'm just gonna buy these tickets.
54
Whatever it costs, it costs.
55
And whatever happens, happens.
56
Fine.
57
Buy the tickets.
58
Thank you.
59
Oh, no. What?
60
What's wrong?
61
They sold the tickets.
62
Okay, then, uh, we'll just do something else.
63
Something else?
64
Really, Nick?
65
That's your plan?
66
You know what?
67
I'll tell you what.
68
If you can find something else for us to do that's affordable, we'll do it.
69
But if you can't, you have to tell the kids that you waited until the last minute to buy their tickets, and now they don't have a summer vacation.
70
Oh, so now it's my fault?
71
Yeah.
72
I just sent a reminder to your calendar.
73
It's Take the Blame Tuesdays.
74
It's real mature, baby.
75
Real mature. Are we there, yeah?
76
Tell me, tell me, tell me.
77
Are we there, yeah?
78
Are we there, yeah?
79
Man, this is gonna be great.
80
Fourth of July in Vegas.
81
Poolside.
82
Drinks.
83
Women.
84
Drunk women.
85
So, what'd you plan to go down there?
86
See, I don't have to plan plan.
87
Remember that flight attendant I was dating?
88
She gave me this employee pass.
89
Now I just show up at the airport, they put me in an open seat anywhere I want to go.
90
I don't have four of those passes, so I'm out of luck.
91
Why don't you just drive somewhere for vacation?
92
Like where?
93
I don't know.
94
Grand Canyon, amusement park, Europe.
95
Drive to Europe?
96
Yeah.
97
Everything I know about family vacations I learned from National Lampoon.
98
Ooh, this is good.
99
This is good.
100
What you got?
101
Skiing in Vancouver.
102
Bam!
103
Skiing?
104
In the middle of summer?
105
According to this.
106
And it's just a drive up to Vancouver.
107
Do they have any rooms?
108
Yep.
109
Oh, this is great.
110
They got a private course and lift.
111
They're skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and they make their own snow year round.
112
I didn't think the kids knew how to ski.
113
They don't.
114
That's what lessons are for.
115
I got another text from Tina.
116
She's going to Hawaii with her family.
117
I thought Tina was going to Costa Rica.
118
No, that's Tanya.
119
Wait, I thought Tanya was going to Cabo.
120
That's Dylan.
121
Oh, the one you think is cute?
122
No, that Dylan is going to Cancun.
123
Oh, they see my pictures from the Bahamas.
124
It's totally gonna blow their vacations away!
125
Did you see that?
126
That guy almost took off James Bond's head with a hat.
127
You're watching James Bond?
128
Yeah.
129
Did you know another actor played him besides Daniel Craig?
130
Yeah.
131
That's Sean Connery.
132
There were like five or six others.
133
What?
134
No way.
135
Wait.
136
That's Goldfinger.
137
And the guy with the hat that's Oddjob.
138
Cool.
139
Um, I don't know if your mother told you, but you know that trip we were planning?
140
Oh, yeah.
141
I can't wait.
142
The Bahamas is gonna be so awesome.
143
Me and my girlfriend said we would tweet pictures like every day and make a picture diary of our vacation.
144
Yeah, well, there's been a change in plans.
145
We're not going.
146
What?
147
Please tell me this is a joke.
148
Look, it's a long story, but we're going someplace else. Where?
149
Vancouver!
150
They have beaches in Vancouver?
151
What?
152
I don't know.
153
We're going skiing!
154
You can ski in the summer?
155
Yes!
156
Why would anybody want to go skiing in the summer?
157
Because their other trip got canceled.
158
All right?
159
Thank you.
160
So, did you tell them about the Bahamas?
161
I'm telling them now that although we will not be able to go to the beach, we are going skiing in Vancouver!
162
Skiing in the summer?
163
Yes, in the summer.
164
Well, I mean, as long as it's okay with the kids, it's fine by me.
165
I think it's cool.
166
I guess it's better than staying home.
167
Did you book it?
168
Oh, I was waiting to talk to you guys.
169
Nick, it's the summer.
170
These things book up quickly.
171
No, it's okay.
172
I was on the website an hour ago.
173
They had plenty of rooms.
174
Look at this.
175
All I have to do, go back to the web page.
176
I got all my info plugged in.
177
Refresh.
178
Send. And bam!
179
Sold out.
180
What?
181
Sold out?
182
They had rooms an hour ago.
183
Well, I guess you're not the only one with the Internet.
184
Wait, so now we're not going?
185
You've got to be kidding me.
186
Everybody I know is gonna be on a trip, and I'm gonna be posting pictures of my room.
187
It's okay, Dad.
188
I mean, going to the beach would've been cool, and going skiing in the summer would've been even cooler.
189
But I guess watching James Bond's reruns can be cool too.
190
How many Bonds did you say they had?
191
Six or seven.
192
I'll go look them up on Wikipedia.
193
I know!
194
I'm sorry.
195
Look, baby, I will make this up to you.
196
Really, Nick?
197
How?
198
I mean...
199
Oh, come on.
200
Good morning!
201
Wow.
202
Nick, what is all of this?
203
Welcome to Casa del Nick.
204
Casas del Nick?
205
That's right.
206
Look, since we can't go on vacation, we're gonna have a staycation!
207
That's Raheem.
208
See what's up. So, a staycation, huh?
209
Yeah, a staycation.
210
Look, it's a vacation for people who choose to stay at home.
211
Everything you can do on some remote location, you can do right in your own backyard.
212
Wow.
213
This is almost as cool as skiing in the summer.
214
Right?
215
I said almost.
216
This is not a vacation.
217
This is lame.
218
Lindsay, please, just trust me.
219
This is not gonna be lame.
220
Lindsay, apologize.
221
Your father is doing the best that he can.
222
Sorry.
223
Oh, don't worry about it.
224
You are gonna have fun.
225
Now, look, if everyone would please follow me, breakfast is served on the patio.
226
All right, everybody, let's go.
227
Ooh, hot sand.
228
Hot sand.
229
Come on in.
230
Check it out.
231
Nice, huh?
232
Have a seat.
233
Have a seat.
234
Enjoy.
235
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to La Buena Comida.
236
Martin, wait a minute.
237
I thought you were going to Las Vegas.
238
Yeah, it turns out that employee pass stops working when you stop dating that employee.
239
Martin will be taking your breakfast orders, so just relax and let's get this party started.
240
So what can I get for the young lady?
241
Oh, I'll take tickets to the Bahamas to go.
242
Lindsay.
243
Okay, can I get room service?
244
Lindsay.
245
It's okay.
246
Yes, you may have room service.
247
Nice.
248
If I decide to eat, I'll let you know.
249
Hey, Dad, does this resort have pay-per-view movies?
250
Actually, we have free-per-view movies.
251
Oh, can we get all the James Bond movies?
252
I'm gonna see who the best James Bond is.
253
That'd be Roger Moore, The Man with the Golden Gun.
254
That is a James Bond movie.
255
In Scaramanga, best villain ever.
256
Okay, I don't know who you're talking about, but he can't be cooler than Oddjob.
257
We may have to view some of these flicks and compare.
258
So what's it gonna be?
259
Uh, can I have a bowl of jelly, please?
260
Oh, fine choice, sir.
261
With some saltine crackers on the side?
262
Mm-hmm.
263
And some peanut butter.
264
That'd be crunchy or creamy?
265
I'll take creamy.
266
Creamy it is.
267
And for the lady?
268
I would like to have Suzanne's favorite egg white omelet.
269
Mm-hmm.
270
Mira, mira, order up, ding-ding.
271
All right, I got a cracker jam with brown sauce on the side and a number one coming right up.
272
Okay, so what is this I hear about you all having a vacation Hello, Marilyn.
273
Hello, Suzanne.
274
Dad messed up and didn't book our trip, so now we're having a staycation.
275
Well, I got three words for you.
276
Count me in.
277
May I show you to your room, ma'am?
278
Well, I'd love that.
279
Uh, you want me in your room, right?
280
Okay, thanks.
281
No!
282
Not, not the master suite.
283
Ah, baby.
284
Baby, I could get used to this.
285
Good, because it only gets better.
286
I got James Bond movies for Kevin, and I just found out Lady Gaga is playing downtown.
287
Look, Mike said he could get us tickets.
288
Oh, my gosh, Nick, Lindsay loves Lady Gaga.
289
And we are going to see you, baby.
290
What can I get for you, Mom?
291
Uh, something to drink, baby.
292
Coming right up.
293
So, Suzanne, what is the plan for today?
294
Well, Nick graciously booked spa appointments at Seattle Body and Spa.
295
Wow, that's nice.
296
Mm-hmm.
297
Really nice.
298
Spa appointments, huh?
299
Would you like to join us, Marilyn?
300
Now, Suzanne, you know I don't like to intrude.
301
You wouldn't be intruding.
302
Actually, we have three appointments, and Lindsay doesn't feel like going.
303
Oh!
304
Let's get a spa on!
305
Indeed.
306
Girl, that dress is gorgeous.
307
Mm.
308
Thank you.
309
Wow.
310
Come on, let's go.
311
Hold on a minute.
312
Matty, patty, foot scrub, mud bath, background.
313
To the spa, to the spa, to the spa, to the spa.
314
To the spa.
315
To the spa, to the spa.
316
Woo!
317
Hey.
318
Hey!
319
Y'all know I can't get out of this thing by myself.
320
Hey!
321
Hey.
322
You missed the spa.
323
You would have had a great time.
324
No, I wouldn't.
325
I'm sitting in my kitchen while my friends are tweeting pictures from their vacations.
326
Lindsay, before I was as fabulous as I am now, I was, well, not as fabulous as I am now.
327
And one of the things I learned to do was to always make the best of the situation.
328
Your dad put in a lot of effort to make this into a vacation.
329
If it's supposed to be a resort, act like it's a resort.
330
You can tweet that.
331
I mean, look at all of this.
332
You have an ocean view, tropical drinks, and you have your family.
333
Grab that drink.
334
Put these on.
335
There we go.
336
Give me a phone.
337
Stand over there.
338
Right in front of the ocean view, girl.
339
All right.
340
Smile.
341
Tweet that.
342
Don't go for the air.
343
Hey, guys, look around.
344
I have to tell him something.
345
Yeah, he's out in the office.
346
Okay.
347
You guys watching The Spy Who Loved Me?
348
Yeah, that guy's teeth are ridiculous.
349
You know, forget what I said earlier.
350
Jaws is definitely the best villain of all time. That guy?
351
I seen scarier teeth on the Wu-Tang Clan.
352
That guy's got nothing on Stamper from Tomorrow Never Dies.
353
He'd have something on him if he bit his leg off.
354
Stamper loves pain.
355
Wouldn't bother him a bit.
356
Bond before Pierce Brosnan is like the Black Eyed Peas before Fergie.
357
Ain't worth watching.
358
Listen, you can have your Pierce Brosnan.
359
As far as I'm concerned, if it's not Roger Moore, it's not James Bond.
360
All right, all right.
361
Best Bond girl.
362
Obviously.
363
It's Major Anya Masova from Spy I Love Me.
364
Get out of here with that.
365
Christmas Jones, the world is not enough.
366
Mm.
367
Were you shaking as a baby?
368
Denise Richards could take a hotness pill for a year, and she wouldn't even be in the same ballpark as Barbara Bach.
369
Yes.
370
What do you think, Kevin?
371
Who do you like?
372
I like the lady from Goldfinger.
373
Right.
374
Goldfinger.
375
What was her name?
376
Um, oh, Pussy Galore.
377
Okay, let's go try something else.
378
All right, this way.
379
We're done.
380
We're done.
381
It's not over.
382
You were right, Gigi.
383
I've gotten a ton of response to my tweet about my vacations.
384
Sarah says she wishes she was here.
385
See, I told you.
386
Take one.
387
Okay.
388
Honey, you did great.
389
Look, even Lindsey is having fun.
390
Perfect.
391
All right, I think we got everything set up, ready to go.
392
All right, everybody, everybody, please have a seat.
393
Have a seat.
394
It is time for our show.
395
All right.
396
Tonight, I will be performing an interpretive luau dance that will be translated by Gigi.
397
Aloha.
398
Aloha!
399
Martin.
400
Nice.
401
Trumpets.
402
There once was a king who planned on the fly,
403
but he failed when it came to the 4th of July.
404
Interpretive, the wild dance is supposed to rhyme.
405
I don't know.
406
The king ignored his queen, which made her as mad as he's ever seen.
407
The king is so sorry that they're not far away on vacation,
408
but still so glad that the family is together and having a great staycation. That was so good!
409
Yeah!
410
Not for nothing, Nick.
411
That was a real good time.
412
Oh, thanks, Mike.
413
Hey, uh, by the way, what made you come over?
414
Oh, yeah.
415
I forgot to tell you.
416
Those Gaga tickets fell through.
417
What?
418
What happened?
419
Your cousin was supposed to hook us up.
420
I'm sorry, man.
421
But, hey, listen.
422
If you ever want to see Journey with that Filipino guy, you let me know.
423
I'll get you right on the waiting list.
424
Good morning.
425
Good morning.
426
Hey, where's Martin?
427
He's out doing some things.
428
Oh, my God, Dad.
429
I tweeted that I was going to see Lady Gaga, and all my friends are so jealous. About that.
430
I wasn't able to get the tickets.
431
You're joking, right?
432
I wish I was, baby.
433
I'm sorry.
434
Great.
435
It's one thing to say I'm enjoying my vacation, but I can't lie and say I saw that concert.
436
So what do you have planned now?
437
Nothing yet.
438
I'm still working on it.
439
So that's it?
440
I finally get excited about our stupid vacation, and now it's over?
441
Whatever.
442
Lindsey, come back here.
443
Lindsey!
444
Come back here!
445
You know, I have worked very hard to make this an enjoyable experience.
446
Now, I understand that this is not the Bahamas, I'm sorry if that's not good enough.
447
What happened to the resort?
448
The vacation is over.
449
Almost everything I promised, I wasn't able to make happen.
450
Stupid idea to begin with.
451
Well, I could have told you that.
452
Nick, it looked like everybody was having a good time.
453
They were, until they fell apart.
454
So something goes wrong and you quit?
455
I talked to Lindsey.
456
We all have a surprise for you.
457
Let me guess.
458
Everyone's got all their complaints compiled into one neat little list.
459
You know, I'm gonna sit right here, and they can just email it to my phone.
460
No, Nick.
461
Now, come on.
462
We have something we want to show you.
463
Oh, here he comes.
464
Man of the hour.
465
You think you're ready?
466
I don't know what I'm ready for.
467
Okay, here's your throne, King Nick.
468
Oh, this is...
469
Wow.
470
There you go.
471
Oh, that's it.
472
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first annual Kingston Persons 4th of July Extravaganza!
473
You know, in professional establishments, they blink the lights to let you know the show's in 15 minutes.
474
Okay, anyway, back from their world tour, introducing Lady Lala and Riyancey!
475
Oh my god!
476
Yes!
477
Alright!
478
Look at that!
479
It's working now!
480
Oh my God!
481
Oh my God!
482
Thank you!
483
Daddy!
484
That was wonderful!
485
Well, um, it's not over.
486
Bam!
487
What?
488
I could only get two tickets, but I thought it would be nice if you took your daughter to see the real Lady Gaga.
489
Oh!
490
Thanks, Mom.
491
Thanks, Dad.
492
This is so wonderful.
493
I can't wait to tell all my friends.
494
Thank you, baby.
495
And guess what?
496
I get to see the Filipino journey!
497
They said, don't stop believing, and I did it!
498
You can clap now!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
