Great.

Where'd you get it?

I don't know.
11
It was so long ago.
12
He obviously forgot to get me something, and then he went into his closet and dug out this little number, and then threw it in a bag.
13
Yep, that's exactly what happened.
14
The pleasure is all mine.
15
Oh, thanks.
16
I'm really looking forward to sitting down with you and finding out more about what you do here.
17
Anytime.
18
Yeah.
19
What do you do here?
20
Excuse me.
21
What is wrong with this woman?
22
She's asking about stuff that's nobody's business.
23
What do I do?
24
Really, what do I do here?
25
I should have written it down.
26
Qua something.
27
Qua, quarr, quabble, quarr, quarr, quabbity, quabbity aschwitz.
28
No, no, no, no, no, but I'm getting close.

That is correct.

32
Hi, kids.

Yay.

Have you ever seen a foot with four toes?
35
What are you doing?
36
Stop it, stop it!
37
No, no, no, no, no!
38
Would you cut it out?
39
What is your problem?
40
No, no, no, we're not gonna see the four-toed creed.
41
Where's your place?
42
Oh, it's on Linden Ave, by the quarry.
43
Oh.
44
Cool beans, man.
45
I live by the quarry.
46
We should hang out by the quarry and throw things down there.
47
Definitely we should.
48
I would never do that.
49
Waste of money.
50
I find it offensive.
51
Au naturel, baby.
52
That's how I like them.
53
Swing low, sweet chariots.
54
Thanks.
55
Playing a little hooky from work today.
56
Oh, my God.
57
I guess you remember everybody else from when we visited you at your restaurant.
58
I bet you memorized what everybody drinks.
59
Not really.
60
No?
61
No. Yeah, dined and dashed.
62
Usually they don't follow you to your place of work.
63
Happens sometimes.
64
Part of the game.
65
It's a beautiful morning at Dunder Mifflin.
66
As I like to call it, Great Bratton.
67
Keep it running. Does it hurt terribly?
68
No, it's not too bad.
69
They have me on a lot of painkillers.
70
Oh, really?
71
What kind?
72
Codeine?
73
Vicodin?
74
Percocet?
75
Fentanyl?
76
Oxycontin?
77
Palladone?
78
I have no idea.
79
Wow.
80
Okay, team building.
81
On this side of the room, Stanley, Phyllis, Jim, Ted, Elroy.
82
On this side of the room, Pam, Meredith, Phyllis, Creed.
83
He never called a meeting.
84
I noticed you don't have a resolution on the board.
85
What's yours?
86
I want to do a cartwheel, but real casual-like.
87
I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it, but I know everybody saw it.
88
There's one stunning, gorgeous cartwheel.
89
How's it going?
90
I'm having a little trouble motivating.
91
How old are you?
92
Wait, let me guess.
93
30. No, no, no. 60.
94
34. Cool beans.
95
Me too.
96
That is Northern Lights Cannabis Indica.
97
No. It's marijuana.
98
I may have inside information that someone is hiding drugs in this very office
99
Just pretend like we're talking until the cops leave so strike scream and run all right,
100
let's try it Hey cuz Heard you're having money problems.
101
No, you didn't.
102
Listen, I got the answer.
103
You declare bankruptcy, all your problems go away.
104
Creed Bratton has never declared bankruptcy.
105
When Creed Bratton gets in trouble, he transfers his debt to William Charles Schneider.
106
How would that help, Creed?
107
In Monopoly, you go bankrupt, you lose.
108
You don't go by Monopoly, man.
109
That game is nuts.
110
Nobody just picks up get-out-of-jail-free cards.
111
Those things cost thousands.
112
That is a good point.
113
Bankruptcy, Michael, is nature's do-over.
114
It's a fresh start.
115
It's a clean slate.
116
Like the witness protection program.
117
Exactly.
118
Not at all.
119
Creed?
120
Yes, sir.
121
Everything okay?
122
Everything's cool, dude.
123
I'm 30.
124
Well, in November, I'll be 30.
125
Yeah.
126
Why do you have the big picture up again?
127
You used that already when you burned your foot.
128
We're using the Ben Kingsley, too.
129
I was going to put up some new pictures, but all of the ink in the printer was gone.
130
Oh.
131
Okay, he's dead.
132
Anyone know what we do next?
133
Anybody?
134
Rose?
135
I have no idea.
136
Anyone else?
137
We bury him.
138
Wrong.
139
Check for an organ donor card.
140
If he has one, we only have minutes to harvest.
141
He has no wallet, I checked.
142
He is an organ donor.
143
Okay, Ryan, you told Toby that Creed has a distinct old man smell.
144
I know exactly what he's talking about.
145
I sprout mung beans on a damp paper towel in my desk drawer.
146
Very nutritious, but they smell like death.
147
Where is Creed?
148
Creed?
149
Here.
150
Quality assurance.
151
Your job.
152
I really think you screwed the pooch on this one, Creed.
153
Because of you, the entire company is in jeopardy.
154
Every week, I'm supposed to take four hours and do a quality spot check at the paper mill.
155
And, of course, the one year I blow it off, this happens.
156
Yes, hello.
157
Creed Braddon, Quality Assurance, Dunder Mifflin, Scranton.
158
I was supposed to meet with one of your floor managers last week for a quality inspection, and he or she wasn't there.
159
And I'm trying to remember who it was.
160
Who wasn't there last week?
161
Debbie Brown.
162
And which day was that?
163
Wednesday the 11th.
164
Perfect.
165
The only difference between me and a homeless man is this job.
166
I will do whatever it takes to survive, like I did when I was a homeless man.
167
When I went over Wednesday for the spot check, I got a call from Debbie Brown saying she has an emergency dentist appointment.
168
Emergency dentist appointment?
169
No, I'm told she told her manager she had the flu.
170
I'm a trusting guy, but, uh, I just wish Debbie Brown had been there.
171
We'd have caught this.
172
Maybe you'd like to sign it.
173
Maybe throw a couple of bucks in there for it.
174
She's got some children.
175
I feel terrible about Debbie Brown.
176
She got fired because of Dwight.
177
So I thought I'd pass around a goodbye card.
178
Maybe everyone could put in a couple of bucks to help her through these difficult times.
179
Why do bad things always happen to the good people?
180
It's tragic.
181
It's just tragic.
182
Look at where you're going to be doing the cartwheel.
183
So look where you're going to be placing your hand.
184
So pick a spot.
185
You ready to do this?
186
Yes, sir.
187
You know what?
188
I'm gonna stay here as long as it takes.
189
I really appreciate it.
190
I'm gonna spot you.
191
I'll spot you!
192
You don't.
193
Go.
194
I did it!
195
You did?
196
The perfect cartwheel.
197
Okay, good.
198
I'm in a rush.
199
That's all I had to do all year.
200
Congratulations.
201
All right.
202
Well, all right.
203
See you tomorrow.
204
No. I cannot believe a pipe burst and left that there.
205
There's no burst pipe.
206
How do you know that?
207
What is it, then?
208
Hey, guys.
209
Somebody making soup?
210
It's a real shame about Ed, huh?
211
Yeah.
212
Must really have you thinking. About what?
213
The older you get, the bigger the chance is you're gonna die.
214
You knew that.
215
Ed was decapitated.
216
What?
217
Really?
218
He was drunk as a skunk.
219
He was flying down Route 6.
220
slides under an 18-wheeler pop, it snaps right off.
221
Oh, my God.
222
That is the way to go.
223
Instant death.
224
Very smart.
225
You know, a human can go on living for several hours after being decapitated.
226
You're thinking of a chicken.
227
What did I say?
228
Someone complained that the men's room is whites only.
229
Stanley, you know that's not true.
230
I didn't say that.
231
And why is there a picture of a white man on the door?
232
Jim.
233
I hate devil's food.
234
Well, I think Meredith was...
235
Screw it, Meredith.
236
I don't think it's fair to let someone else pick the cake on my birthday.
237
Everybody's birthday.
238
Today is actually my birthday, and I want to pick the cake.
239
What do you want?
240
I want pie.
241
I want peach pie.
242
You want birthday pie?
243
I want a nice cobbler.
244
Well, I'm gonna talk to Angela, and we're gonna see what we can do about a pie.
245
I don't care who you talk to.
246
Just make it happen.
247
It'll be Angela.
248
You tell her it's for Creed.
249
She'll know what that means.
250
And I figured this out.
251
Jimmy had his birthday three weeks ago, so he doesn't care.
252
I think the power went to his head.
253
Yeah, I think.
254
Hey, Jim.
255
Hey, guys.
256
What are we talking about?
257
Nothing.
258
Nothing going on.
259
We're talking about nothing.
260
Come on, gang.
261
Happy birthday to you.
262
Happy birthday to you.
263
Happy birthday, dear Creed.
264
Happy birthday to you!
265
Yeah!
266
Alright, skip around the room.
267
Skip around the room.
268
We won't...
269
Okay, alright.
270
Hey, Creed.
271
Hey, it's up, what are you guys up to?
272
Ah, hello.
273
You're the man, buddy.
274
I run a small fake ID company for my car with a laminated machine that I swiped from the sheriff's station.
275
How's it going?
276
Oh, my replacement bones have been acting up today, but...
277
Hey, cop-a-lean.
278
Oh.
279
So, I am collecting $3 from everybody for Kelly's party.
280
I'd like to contribute.
281
Oh, great.
282
There you go.
283
Bo-body, Bo-body.
284
What does the first B stand for?
285
What are we doing?
286
We're making acronyms.
287
Okay.
288
What does the first B stand for?
289
Um...
290
Business.
291
I like it!
292
Business.
293
Good, Kevin.
294
All right.
295
The O.
296
We need a new manager.
297
Andrea's the, uh, office bitch.
298
You'll get used to her.
299
Hmm.
300
Creed.
301
Yo.
302
Is this his new chair?
303
No, he hasn't picked one yet.
304
God.
305
When Pam gets Michael's old chair, I get Pam's old chair.
306
Then I'll have two chairs.
307
Only one to go.
308
I could get a fish for a five cent worm.
309
Oh, you're paying way too much for worms, man.
310
Who's your worm guy?
311
Oh, I steal things all the time.
312
It's just something I do.
313
I stopped carrying a long time ago.
314
You should see how many supplies I've taken from this place.
315
Honestly, I love stealing things.
316
Oh, I think you're supposed to put a toy in the box, Greg.
317
And a happy holiday to you.
318
We could fire Meredith.
319
That's a big cost.
320
I'm not firing anyone.
321
Creed might be living here.
322
We could charge him rent.
323
What?
324
Four nights a week, I stay here and live in this office.
325
Everything is right here.
326
It's easy to get to.
327
I sleep under my desk, and then three nights, I stay at my place in Toronto.
328
They don't know about this job up there.
329
It's a welfare state.
330
Creed's head of quality assurance.
331
So he'd definitely be wrapped up in this.
332
So there I am, minding my own business.
333
And Darnell offers me three bucks.
334
All I gotta do is walk by Andy and go like this.
335
Darnell's a chump.
336
I would've done it for anything.
337
I've done a lot more for a lot less.
338
Wait!
339
Hold the button!
340
Hold the button!
341
Hold the button.
342
Hold on!
343
Hold on, Dwight!
344
Hold on!
345
In the parking lot today, there was a circus.
346
Copier did tricks on the high wire.
347
A lady tried to give away a baby that looked like a cat.
348
There was a Dwight impersonator and a Jim impersonator.
349
A strong man crushed a turtle.
350
I laughed, and I cried.
351
Not bad for a day in the life of a dog food company.
352
You know what?
353
Don't even worry about it.
354
Everyone was so drunk that no one even remembers what you said.
355
I remember.
356
I blogged the whole thing www.creedthoughts.gov www backslash creedthoughts.
357
Check it out.
358
Last year, Creed asked me how to set up a blog.
359
Wanting to protect the world from being exposed to Creed's brain, I opened up a Word document on his computer and put an address at the top.
360
I've read some of it.
361
Even for the Internet, it's.. pretty shocking.
362
Listen up.
363
It has come to my attention
364
that only five of you have signed up to give blood and Creed has signed up twice.
365
That's to receive.
366
I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.
367
You have more fun as a follower, but you make more money as a leader.
368
Why do you tell Stanley that I have asthma?
369
Because I don't.
370
If it gets out, they won't let me scuba.
371
If I can't scuba, then what's this all been about?
372
What am I working toward?
373
I'm not offended by homosexuality.
374
In the 60s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain.
375
And it's possible a man slipped in.
376
There would be no way of knowing.
377
I want to set you up with my daughter.
378
Oh, I'm engaged to Pam.
379
I thought you were gay.
380
Then why would you want to set me up with your daughter?
381
I don't know.
382
You don't know that.
383
Some people can't help losing sexuality.
384
You ever notice you can only lose two things?
385
Sexuality and pus.
386
Man, I tell you.
387
Guys, stop everything.
388
I'm about to ask out this girl, and I'm completely panicking.
389
Oh, my desk is over there.
390
This gal, she's really into you?
391
Yeah, yeah.
392
I mean, I've seen her like three times today, and we love all the same music, and whenever I walk into her room, she totally looks up.
393
I say no more. So?
394
This is how I got squeaky from.
395
No small talk.
396
Just show her who's the boss.
397
Just go right in and kiss her.
398
Okay, it sounds risky.
399
Have I ever steered you wrong, Jim?
400
Wait, what?
401
Uh, oh.
402
Find out what language this is.
403
Yes, or botch, got it.
404
What are you doing in here?
405
This is the woman's room.
406
You're in here.
407
I pay for that privilege.
408
Okay.
409
I'm a pretty normal guy.
410
I do one weird thing.
411
I like to go in the women's room for number two.
412
I've been caught several times, and I have paid dearly.
413
The Taliban in Afghanistan.
414
The Taliban is the worst.
415
Great heroin, though.
416
Nobody steals from Creed Bratton and gets away with it.
417
The last person to do this disappeared.
418
His name?
419
Creed Bratton.
420
Um, I was walking to the building, and this man asked me for directions, and he was holding a map,
421
And when I walked over, he had it out on the map.
422
Phyllis, you're a married woman.
423
The guy was just hanging brain.
424
I mean, what's all the fuss?
425
If that's flashing, then lock me up.
426
No, you're all good.
427
Great.
428
Whoa.
429
Awesome.
430
Let's put a smile on that face.
431
Damn it, Creed.
432
I've been up since 4.
433
I didn't realize that everybody here dresses up every year.
434
Me neither.
435
It's Halloween.
436
That is really, really good timing.
437
Sorry, I'm late, boss.
438
What's going on?
439
Sir, there has been a murder, and you are a suspect.
440
Okay.
441
Hang on just a sec.
442
Let me settle in, and I'll be right back.
443
I'll be right back.
444
Very good.
445
Very good.
446
Now, no one was there in the wine cellar.
447
Let's do this.
448
Thank you.

¿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.
