5
But I'm not a...

You are not what?

You didn't want to be a waiter?

Nothing.

How are you any better than Goodman if you're playing along with it?

What else could I do?

If we don't sign a deal with him tonight, we're as good as broke.
41
And, um, another thing.

a few more resources to...
79
Hold on.
80
Why are we wearing these headphones?
81
Are you so bored with me that you decide to listen to music at the same time?
82
Oh, Mr. Goodman, the thing is that Colin
83
is a team leader of a whole team of specialists who work around the croc to improve the product.
84
So he used to be in touch.
85
Then let him make an exception.
86
It is respectful.
87
- Okay, Colin.
88
Take your headphones off, please.
89
What?
90
Okay, smart guy.
91
What language was the app written in?

Joking all the time.

98
I'm talking about the programming language.
99
I'm going to go.
100
You know.
101
That's, um...
102
Mr. Goodman, I think Colin has answered all your questions.
103
The only questions left: do you like the product?
104
Yes, but...
105
Well, let's give the formality and shake on it.
106
Excuse me, Frank, but before I invest in anything, I need to know all the details.
107
So, Colin, I'd like to hear your answer on my question.
108
Ready please.
109
Oh, sir.
110
Take it.
111
What language would you have?
112
Nah -ha!
113
It's not a problem, Mr. Goodman.
114
It's a scene, two crosses.
115
See to crosses.
116
Oh, two crosses, yeah.
117
C did it, two crosses!
118
Maybe, uh, C++, no?
119
- - I love you.
120
- Well, Mr. Goodman, your version is also good.
121
It's, um...
122
Now, all these C's...
123
It's so easy to mix up.
124
Really, yeah.
125
Okay.
126
That's enough.
127
Did he think I'm in Egypt?
128
Do you really expect...
129
I need to believe that this kid who doesn't know what C++ is.
130
Isn't genius IT?
131
Yeah.
132
How much did he pay you?
133
Hmm?
134
Did he pay anything?
135
You know, it doesn't matter.
136
- Yeah.
137
dismissed.
138
Frank, we're actually developing the app.
139
Phil!
140
What?
141
The black guy?
142
Now you understand why I've been hiding it from you.
143
No way.
144
The blacks can do that stuff.
145
They can barely read.
146
Their entire memory is reserved for hip -hop and basketball rooms.
147
Well, times are changing.
148
Now they even write code.
149
The only thing that hasn't changed is that they still work for us.
150
The White's.
151
- This is a good point, Vati.
152
- Same thing with Phil.
153
I keep him only for profit.
154
I can throw him out into the cold any moment. So, Friend.
155
Huh?
156
- Okay.
157
Maybe this moment has come.
158
Mm -hmm.
159
Frank has done his job.
160
Right.
161
What we do need him for?
162
Let's make a deal and split the profit 50 /50.
163
Screw Phil!
164
Let's do this.
165
Okay.
166
Hopefully with the next line. And...
167
Bam!
168
Thank you.
169
Thank you.
170
Hey you!
171
Yes, you!
172
Get us some champagne.
173
- To champagne, please.
174
I think there's something wrong with the pen.
175
It doesn't work.
176
Or maybe it doesn't work in the hands of...
177
...disonless people and racists.
178
What?
179
Phil, buddy, sit down, please.
180
Please.
181
Is this some kind of a joke?
182
No, no, no. Sit down.
183
Frank.
184
Yeah?
185
I'm investing in this project a million dollars.
186
Do you really think I wouldn't ask you?
187
Who is creating it?
188
Of course I found out it was a Feel.
189
Thank you.
190
Thank you, but I really don't understand what's going on.
191
Sorry, Fear, for this show.
192
From the start I knew that you created it.
193
And you are a decent person.
194
unlike your boss.
195
the racist and slippery person who won't even think of standing up for his subordinates,
196
and easily abandon him for the money.
197
Phil, it's not what it looks like.
198
I was acting in our mutual interest, and Mr. Goodman, perhaps we misunderstood the child.
199
I know who you are, and you can bet your bosses are about to find out too.
200
Oh, come on, Mr. Goodman, please.
201
Only one thing you have time to do.
202
Yeah?
203
Is Henning your resignation?
204
- Sure.
205
I'm going to show you the...
206
- I'm so sorry.
207
Well, he'll...
208
I'll see you next week.
209
I will come to your office and...
210
We'll sign the contract with you.
211
Thank you.
212
Mr. Goodman.
213
I won't let you know.
214
I know you won't.

¿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.
