1
Sam!
2
Oh, out here, honey.
3
Hi, sweetheart.
4
Hi.
5
Hello, young lady.
6
How are you?
7
How are you?
8
You promised to clean out the garage.
9
Oh, honey, I'm afraid it'll have to wait.
10
I've got to go to a lecture.
11
Lecture?
12
Mm -hmm.
13
He's our client.
14
He has a new book coming out, and we'll be handling the promotion.
15
And his lecture tour.
16
Um, were you planning to go alone?
17
Oh, no. Larry and Louise will be stopping by to pick me up.
18
Um, we'll be going to the afternoon lecture.
19
What's he lecturing about?
20
Nothing you'd be interested in.
21
Try me.
22
Okay.
23
The title is Witchcraft of the World.
24
Fact and Fallacies.
25
The lecturer wouldn't be by any chance Osgood Reitmeyer, would it?
26
You've heard of him.
27
He's a smug phony who's been making a living for years telling all sorts of lies about witches.
28
Well, then there's no sense in your going and ruining your afternoon.
29
Oh, I'm going all right.
30
I wouldn't miss this for the world.
31
No, you're not going.
32
There's no sense in your going and spoiling your whole day.
33
Oh, Darren, don't be silly.
34
He's too ridiculous to be taken seriously.
35
I just thought it might be amusing to hear him.
36
Couldn't I go if I promised to be good?
37
Well, let me...
38
He'll be picking me up in half an hour.
39
You haven't got time to arrange for a babysitter.
40
I have an idea.
41
If it's what I think you should...
42
Mother?
43
Now, wait a minute.
44
Mother, could I see you for a moment?
45
Well, Samantha, I hope it's something important.
46
Mother, we have to go out for a couple of hours.
47
Now, would you mind sitting with Tabitha until we get back?
48
Well, all right.
49
I've got to get back to Tokyo for a few minutes.
50
A nice young Japanese poet is going to read me some of his love ballads.
51
I'll be right back.
52
She certainly gets around.
53
Oh, Darren.
54
You know, she's really awfully good about babysitting.
55
Her mother, that is.
56
Well, I'll go and change.
57
I'm really looking forward to this.
58
Remember, you promised to be good.
59
Aren't I always?
60
If I say yes, I'll be lying.
61
If I say no, I'm in trouble.
62
No comment.
63
The End
64
Come on, honey, we'll be late.
65
Coming.
66
I think Sam will enjoy this.
67
Osgood Reitmeyer's a fascinating man.
68
Is that so?
69
Lowry says he's considered the top authority in his field. By whom?
70
Oh, you know, whoever it is who decides who top authorities are.
71
He really is highly respected, Sam.
72
He's been all over the world, to all kinds of exotic places he's lived with, witch doctors and voodoo men.
73
It's been a lifelong study with him.
74
Well, everyone should have a hobby.
75
Maybe you'll get a chance to talk to him later.
76
Oh?
77
Darren, I took the liberty of asking him to join us here after the evening lecture.
78
Well, Larry, I don't know.
79
Maybe he'll be tired.
80
Oh, goody.
81
Just think, Darren, an authority on witchcraft here in our own little home.
82
Well, we'll just keep going.
83
Come on, dear.
84
Genies, voodoo spirits, leprechauns, trials and witches are the companions of dull,
85
primitive and ignorant people.
86
Well, that covers me.
87
He's insufferable.
88
Mind you, it's true that my extensive research has uncovered certain inexplicable events that have been attributed to so -called witches.
89
However, after intensive investigation, I have found that these manifestations are all manufactured or self -induced.
90
Believe me, there are no witches.
91
Wonderful, isn't it?
92
Incredible.
93
And why do people like to call themselves witches?
94
Well, I've met a great many people with so -called supernatural powers in my time.
95
And I tell you what I found out.
96
Scratch a witch and you'll find a neurotic boar who has no other claim to be interesting.
97
Relax, honey.
98
Just relax.
99
Relax, honey.
100
Now, in case there are any of you in the audience who think you are a witch, let me say this.
101
Here I am, Osgood Ritmeyer, a 20th century witch hunter, and your mortal enemy.
102
Cast your spells.
103
Strike me down.
104
I offer myself as your target.
105
I'm sorry, darling.
106
It just slipped out.
107
It won't happen again.
108
Thank you very much.
109
Thank you.
110
Ladies and gentlemen, you may think that I staged that, but I didn't.
111
It was an accident.
112
However, that's the way superstitions start.
113
If I were a superstitious man, I would say that a witch did it.
114
But I would have a remedy.
115
I would simply say...
116
Any witches which are here from this moment disappear.
117
And, uh, with that, they would disappear.
118
You reckon?
119
Sam!
120
Yes, dear?
121
Where are you?
122
Well...
123
Can't be much of a spell.
124
Louise is still here.
125
That one too, huh?
126
Thanks for the lift, Larry.
127
We'll see you after dinner.
128
I thought I'd bring
129
Bob Andrews over, too, if it's all right with you.
130
Fine.
131
If he gives us that article in his magazine about Ritmeyer, it'll be a big help to the national tour.
132
Wonderful.
133
Bye -bye.
134
See you later. So long.
135
You sure you're all right?
136
Oh, don't worry, Darren.
137
It was just that one time.
138
I'm sure it couldn't happen again.
139
It was pretty scary.
140
How would he know an incantation like that?
141
Must have picked it up in his travels somewhere.
142
Amateurs shouldn't fool around with things like that.
143
Honey, I hate to mention it, but somebody else did start the whole thing.
144
I know.
145
I'm sorry.
146
But when he's here tonight, no, uh...
147
Don't worry, Darren.
148
I'll be a good little witch.
149
Sam?
150
Sam?
151
Sam, are you still here?
152
I am in spirit, darling.
153
Right over here.
154
Would you mind proving it?
155
Oh, honey, this is a lot more serious than we thought.
156
What are you gonna do about it?
157
Mother?
158
Mother! With the baby.
159
Oh, what a sweet child.
160
It's a pleasure to be with her.
161
She slept the whole time.
162
Mother?
163
What's this?
164
Samantha!
165
Samantha?
166
Mama, I've got a problem.
167
Mother, have you found anything yet?
168
No, there's nothing in here.
169
Oh, I'll find it all right.
170
How do you feel, sweetheart?
171
Well...
172
Just hang on, darling.
173
Your lips feel funny.
174
That's because you kissed me on the eye. Do something!
175
Oh, it's your fault.
176
How could you expose your wife to a dangerous fanatic like Reitmeyer?
177
Wait a minute.
178
I didn't want her to go in the first place.
179
She insisted.
180
Oh, I was under the impression that you were the head of the house.
181
This is no time to bicker.
182
Do you know how to stop it?
183
Can you remember what Reitmeyer said?
184
No, it didn't even sound like an authentic incantation.
185
That's bad, huh?
186
Oh, I've seen some cases that would make your hair turn blue.
187
Well, I'll just have to borrow some more books for Mount Clara.
188
Oh, my stars.
189
It must be some exotic incantation.
190
And since it was executed by an amateur, well, it can't be that powerful.
191
I'll just have to do some more research.
192
I made a comeback.
193
Thank goodness.
194
I don't know how long it's gonna last.
195
In the meantime, put a cold compress on your head.
196
Take two aspirin, and above all, keep yourself warm.
197
Any symptoms?
198
Not yet.
199
Darren, can I have a drink of water?
200
Sure thing, honey.
201
Darren?
202
Sam!
203
Andara!
204
When did it happen?
205
Just now.
206
I wish you could remember a little more of what that simpleton said.
207
What did it sound like?
208
I wasn't listening.
209
It was one of those ibbity -bibbity -sibbity -sab things.
210
Out goes Y -O -U and out she went.
211
Oh, you're a great help.
212
Try to remember so I'll know where to look.
213
Mother, it was one of those things I'd never heard before.
214
Ooh.
215
I'll go down and ask Reitmeyer.
216
It's as simple as that.
217
You should have thought of that sooner.
218
I'll catch him in his dressing room before the evening lecture.
219
Well, don't trust your human memory.
220
Write it down.
221
You missed.
222
Here I am again.
223
Oh, darling, sit down.
224
Everything's going to be all right, dear.
225
Mother's here.
226
I, uh, I was particularly impressed with the way you handled that situation when, uh...
227
Well, you know...
228
Thank you, but I'd rather not be reminded of that.
229
I warned the management.
230
They better fix that platform or they'll have a lawsuit on their hands.
231
But the way you meet right up and turn it into a point in your lecture.
232
Any witches which are here, something or other, disappear.
233
What'd you say first?
234
Mr. Stevens, my contract in this town is for two lectures.
235
I do not intend to give a third one in my dressing room.
236
I thought I might use it for a publicity release.
237
But you have my colorful personality to work with, Stevens.
238
What else do you want?
239
Besides, the spell will be in my book, which is coming out next month.
240
And I do not believe in giving away anything for nothing.
241
Mr. Reitmeyer, I believe that people...
242
Thank you for dropping by, Stevens.
243
Well, you will be at our house tonight after the lecture, won't you?
244
Possibly.
245
Who else will be there?
246
Mr. Andrews, the editor of Pictorial Week.
247
All right, Stevens.
248
Reitmeyer should be through with his lecture about now.
249
We're anxious for you to meet him, Mr. Andrews.
250
I wonder if he does that business of tripping and knocking everything down at each performance.
251
Of course he does.
252
It was so obviously staged.
253
Didn't you think so, Sam?
254
Hmm?
255
Uh, yes.
256
Yes, of course.
257
He kidded about the accident being caused by a witch.
258
And then he recited a spell to send the witch into limbo.
259
I wonder if he'd tell me his secret.
260
I have a few relatives I'd like to make disappear.
261
The entire lecture sounds like nonsense.
262
Oh, I found it quite interesting.
263
Didn't you, Samantha? Where did Samantha go?
264
Well, she was here just a second ago.
265
I wonder where she disappeared to.
266
What happened?
267
I, uh, ran into some thick air.
268
I'll take a look in the kitchen.
269
That's probably where she is.
270
The kitchen?
271
Honey?
272
Honey, are you in here?
273
Yes, dear.
274
Well, where are you?
275
Right here.
276
Well, hey, try to hold on until Reitmeyer gets here.
277
Then everything will be all right.
278
Hello?
279
Oh, yes, Mr. Reitmeyer.
280
Oh, now, Mr. Reitmeyer, you...
281
But, Mr. Reitmeyer, we're all expecting you.
282
I'm terribly sorry to disappoint you, Stevens, but I'm rather tired and I have some important research to do tonight.
283
Yes.
284
Well, please extend my apologies to whoever it may concern, all right?
285
Goodbye.
286
Now, my dear, I'm all yours.
287
Oh, Mr. Riedmeyer.
288
Osgood.
289
Osgood, too.
290
Oh, no, my dear.
291
Osgood, my first name.
292
Um, what's yours?
293
Beverly, and I'm thrilled, just thrilled to meet you.
294
Well, it was most sweet of you to come backstage and say such nice things about my modest little effort, huh?
295
Oh, it wasn't modest at all.
296
It was what you were talking about that just drives me crazy.
297
It's so, so...
298
Uh, fascinating?
299
No, spooky.
300
Mother, we have to get him here to find out what the spell was.
301
Don't worry, dear.
302
Osgood Ritmeier will be here.
303
How can you be so sure?
304
Why, his research will bring him here.
305
Right to morning glory circle. But shh!
306
Let me concentrate.
307
And then I, uh, I thought we might go to some, uh, nice, uh, intimate little club and, uh, get to know each other better, what?
308
Oh, that sounds just marvy and I know just the place.
309
Good. Where is it?
310
I'm Morning Glory Circle.
311
Well, uh, lead the way.
312
Maybe we should have picked Mr. Rightmire up.
313
He might have gotten lost.
314
Not a chance, I assure you.
315
How can you be so sure?
316
Mother means that any man who has hacked his way through mysterious jungles shouldn't have a problem.
317
He'll be here any minute now.
318
Is something wrong with the engine?
319
What does it sound like?
320
Well, I'm not mechanical.
321
That, my dear, is a matter of opinion.
322
Where's this club you were telling me about?
323
I don't know.
324
Why did you say it was here?
325
I don't know.
326
Well, I just go in the house and call the auto club.
327
It's cold out here.
328
Can I come with you?
329
Oh, very well.
330
Oh, pardon me, my car.
331
Mr. Reitmeyer, how nice of you to come.
332
Stephens.
333
Um, I decided my research could wait.
334
Oh, good, good.
335
And I brought along my niece who lives here in the town.
336
Um, um, um, Beverly...
337
Me?
338
Beverly niece.
339
No, Beverly Wilson.
340
Beverly Wilson.
341
This is Mr. Darren Stevens.
342
Well, hello there.
343
How do you do?
344
We were afraid you couldn't find the place.
345
There's some people here who are very anxious to meet you.
346
Won't you come in?
347
One word out of you and I'll kill you.
348
When I was having a drink with a major near the officer's mess in Bonga -Bonga, and the door opened and in came this diminutive colonel,
349
approximately nine inches high, immaculately dressed in every way, Then he swarmed up the stool to the bar in order to drink.
350
And the Major said to the Colonel, he said, Colonel, tell Mr. Osgood about the time you fell out with a witch doctor.
351
Can I freshen anybody's drinks?
352
No, thank you.
353
Well, this has been most interesting, Mr. Reitmeyer.
354
Thank you, Mr. Andrews.
355
Of course, there's only one of many stories I have concerning witchcraft.
356
Fascinating, Mrs. Stevens.
357
Yes, indeed.
358
I could listen to him talk all night, couldn't you?
359
Well, perhaps not quite.
360
Me?
361
Pass me the ashtray, would you, Beverly, dear?
362
Yes, sir.
363
I've, uh, been away for several years, and, uh, I'm afraid my niece is a little awed by her illustrious uncle.
364
Isn't that it, dear?
365
Yes, Uncle Reitmeyer.
366
Osgood.
367
Mr. Reitmeyer, I'd like very much to do an article on you and your work.
368
I was, uh, telling him about the wonderful way you handle that situation this afternoon.
369
Oh, that.
370
Yes, he was positively wonderful.
371
You bet.
372
Sorry, Mr. Osgood.
373
I'm particularly interested in witchcraft, Mr. Rightmire.
374
What was the spell you put on the witches in the audience?
375
An ancient peasant incantation I translated from the Hungarian.
376
Yes, we were trying to remember it.
377
How does it go?
378
As a publisher, I'm sure Mr. Andrews will appreciate the answer that I gave to your son -in -law earlier.
379
Read my book.
380
He's absolutely right.
381
Excuse me.
382
I'll be right back.
383
Mother?
384
Mother?
385
He did it to me.
386
And without the incantation.
387
Where are you?
388
Here I am.
389
Mother, he's a warlock.
390
He could be.
391
Yes, he certainly could be.
392
And we've got to find out.
393
We'll just have to give him the ordeal by fire.
394
But how and with what?
395
The most simple test is to give him a glass of cayenne, red peppers, hot sauce, and a little tomato juice. Of course.
396
If he can drink that, he's a warlock all right.
397
I was to a village in darkest Africa investigating some strange voodoo rites, and the chief came up to me and said...
398
Excuse me.
399
after midnight everyone time for bloody marys oh marvelous idea oh
400
thank you endor thank you very much well here's to the success of your book mr wrightmeyer thank you

418
really i'm awfully sorry mr wrightmeyer i hope
419
you're feeling better fine thank you fine i made you a fresh one no more dear lady no more
420
Incidentally, I'm sure none of you know this, but the Bayou Folk of Louisiana use cayenne and red peppers as a test for warlocks.
421
That's a rather interesting ring, Mr. Reitmeyer.
422
Where did you get it?
423
From an old mystic who lived at the headwaters of the Nile.
424
May I see it?
425
This ring never leaves my finger.
426
Except for you, dear lady. Did you see that?
427
It practically jumped out of my hand.
428
Mother, I'm getting that feeling again.
429
It took...
430
You can't have gone very far.
431
No, no, I thought I...
432
Look just above your head.
433
Are you looking under the sofa?
434
Mr. Henry, in this room somewhere.
435
All right.
436
You first, dear.
437
Oh, thank you, Mother.
438
That's too dangerous to be in the hands of an amateur.
439
Well, we can't let him have it back.
440
No. He'll never know the difference.
441
Is this the ring you're looking for, Mr. Lamont?
442
Where did you find it?
443
In the kitchen.
444
It must have rolled there.
445
It's a busy little ring, isn't it?
446
Yes, well, I'd better be toddling along.
447
I have to get
448
Miss Wilson back home, you know.
449
I'm sure your little niece isn't used to being out so late.
450
Hey, what about the car, Uncle Wright -Meyer?
451
Oh, yes, of course, the auto club.
452
Oh, doesn't it work?
453
Why don't you try it again?
454
Yes.
455
Yes, I'll do that.
456
Well, Mrs. Stevens, thank you so much.
457
Oh, no, Mr. Reitmeyer.
458
Thanks to you, we've had an enchanting evening. So be it.
459
Let me sum up by saying what you've all heard many times before.
460
Discount coincidence, discredit fate, dispense with superstition.
461
And you will be secure, as I am, in the conviction that there is no such thing as witchcraft.
462
Mr. Reitmeyer?
463
Mr. Reitmeyer?
464
Ta -ta.
465
Thank you.
466
I'm sorry.

¿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.
