1
the newly elected governor, Diane Foxington.
2
I hear you, I hear you.
3
Listen, listen, we all know how dastardly the bad guys are.
4
But more than anything, I feel sorry for them.
5
These so-called bad guys are really just second-rate has-beens.
6
Behind their amateurish antics and, frankly, unoriginal capers, I mean, really, another bank, is nothing but a deep well of anger.
7
And those are holes that no amount of cash or priceless art can ever fill.
8
And what could be more positive than the annual Good Samaritan Awards, where tomorrow night I will present the Golden Dolphin to this year's Goodest Citizen.
9
They say that art reveals more about the viewer than the artist.
10
I don't think it'll be that hard.
11
Mr. Poodleton, you're funny.
12
You'll be like to see they're cementing his life in prison.
13
Did you see their last job?
14
Ugh, unsecured exits, crude disguises, compulsive showboating.
15
I mean, it was a mess.
16
All the classic signs of a crew in decline.
17
Next, they're gonna make it personal.
18
That's when you know they're toast.
19
It is, and I'm the governor.
20
As for the sculpture, I think it's about perspective.
21
If you look closely enough, even trash can be recycled into something beautiful.
22
Oh, Mr. Poodleton, you're too hard on yourself.
23
President of the committee, Governor Diane Foxington.
24
Thank you.
25
Thank you.
26
Thank you so much.
27
Thank you.
28
Last year, we faced our biggest test when a meteorite crashed into our dear city.
29
That meteorite didn't just make a hole in our city.
30
It made a hole in our hearts.
31
But even in tragedy, Professor Marmalade, he did what he does so well.
32
And he made us look at things differently.
33
And thanks to you, Marmalade, the Love Crater meteorite will forever serve as a symbol of how there is good, even in the worst places.
34
Professor Marmalade!
35
The moment we've all been waiting for.
36
Now it is my honor to award Professor Marmalade with the Golden Dolphin!
37
Everyone, everyone, please don't panic.
38
Just stay calm.
39
I'm sure there's an explanation for this.
40
I repeat, please do not panic.
41
Denial.
42
Okay, I'm game, but only because it's you, Professor.
43
No!
44
We'll hold on to the dolphin until the gala, just to remove any unnecessary temptation.
45
Not everyone gets a second chance.
46
Make the most of it, Mr. Poodleton.
47
trespassing, burglary, mayhem, assault with a deadly reptile?
48
As if those poor rodents haven't been through enough already!
49
Ooh, okay.
50
Don't you ever get tired of lying?
51
I gave you an opportunity, a chance to show the world that you're more than just a scary stereotype,
52
but you're too proud or too gutless to take advantage of it.
53
Is that so?
54
A wolf and a fox are not so different.
55
Maybe they will believe you.
56
Maybe they won't.
57
But it doesn't matter.
58
Don't do it for them.
59
Do it for you.
60
This is a chance to write your own story.
61
To find a better life for you and your friends.
62
Come on, what have you got to lose?
63
Yeah, well, that ship has already sailed.
64
Believe it or not, I'm rooting for you, wolf.
65
I'll see you at the gala.
66
You know, if I didn't know better, I'd think that you were avoiding me.
67
Okay.
68
But I have to say, I'm a little disappointed.
69
I was hoping you were going to ask me to dance.
70
Guess I'm still the best bad guy the world has ever seen.
71
At least I used to be.
72
After the gala, I knew something wasn't right, so I did some investigating, and that meteor...
73
Right!
74
If conducted through an array of ionized crystals, it will generate a massive psychokinetic field the size of a city.
75
Oh my gosh, did I interrupt you?
76
Were you gonna say that?
77
Marmalade needs to be stopped, but I can't do it alone.
78
You know his compound better than anyone.
79
Hey.
80
You okay?
81
I know this isn't easy.
82
Leaving everything behind.
83
Yeah.
84
I was the best thief in the world.
85
Fast, fearless, inventive.
86
I just had one thing left to steal.
87
I didn't just go after it.
88
I had it.
89
And a clear escape route.
90
But all I saw in the end was the tricky fox that they always told me I was.
91
It changed everything.
92
So now, instead of hurting people, I'm helping them.
93
I'm still me.
94
I'm just me on the right side.
95
You're doing the right thing.
96
And someday, your friends, if they're real friends, I think they'll understand.
97
Now, come on, let's get inside.
98
You look like you just busted out of a prison.
99
Guinea pigs!
100
I actually prefer the earlier model.
101
Yeah, that's a blowtorch.
102
Also, not really your color.
103
What are you up to, you fuzzy little weirdo?
104
We need eyes on the city.
105
Let's see if we can't hack into the government surveillance satellite.
106
Yeah, but the paperwork.
107
I am definitely picking up on suspicious activity here.
108
Those are guinea pig heat signatures.
109
Marmalade seems to be controlling them.
110
But to do what?
111
They're no obvious targets.
112
His charity fundraiser.
113
He's gonna steal the money raised in his own name?
114
We need to cut off Marmalade's communication with his guinea pig.
115
Once we steal the meteorite, we take it straight to the police.
116
I don't know about all, but it's a start.
117
Because maybe it's a trap.
118
What?
119
I'm sentimental.
120
Now to get this thing to the teeth and clear your names.
121
Relax, Marmalade can't control him if he doesn't have the meteorite.
122
We need some kind of magnetized cross-circuit interceptor?
123
You mean this?
124
Oh no. We gotta split up.
125
Webs you feel like a girl's trip?
126
Yes Where'd
127
you learn to do that?
128
Well, you know, kind of a natural.
129
Meet me at the police station.
130
Don't be late!
131
Chief!
132
This better be good.
133
Trust me, you don't want to miss this.
134
Look!
135
Wait, Chief.
136
Governor Foxington?
137
Don't do this!
138
They didn't steal the meteor, right?
139
They were bringing it back.
140
Ah!
141
How could you know that?
142
Well, as a matter of fact, it's time I came clean about something.
143
The truth is, I'm really...
144
I'm proud of you, Wolf.

¿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.
