I've always had a curious affinity for laundromats.
2
Perhaps it's the rose of mechanical devices dedicated to a cleaner world.
3
Or maybe it's the hypnotic rotation of spinning clothes on their sudsy journey to a fluffy, stain-free future.
4
Mmm, look at them.
5
Or was I?
6
Oh, yes, laundromats.
7
My Meemaw also loved them, but for an entirely different reason.

76
I thought it might be fun.
77
Get me out of the house.

And you picked a laundromat?
79
It seemed like a better opportunity at the moment.
80
What happened?
81
You get tricked by a con man?
82
No. It's alright.
83
Happens to a lot of people your age.
84
Come with me.
85
A secret casino room?
86
Yeah.
87
The cops shut me down.
88
That is so cool.
89
Very cool.
90
I got a room full of slot machines I can't turn on and a room full of washing machines I don't want.
91
Let's get this going again.
92
I can't.
93
I'm on their radar now. That sucks.
94
This is not how I saw this playing out.
95
Hey, you took a shot.
96
That's impressive.
97
I guess.
98
I mean, most folks your age have someone cutting up their food.
99
That's enough.
100
Well, I still think you're a badass.
101
Thank you.
102
We should probably get back out there.
103
Oh, I ain't working for you, but I'm rooting for you.
104
67 years old, scraping tipsy roll out of a clothes jar.
105
Hey!
106
What do you want?
107
I want to help you out.
108
Oh, I knew you'd come back.
109
Listen, I got most of it, but there's just one chunk in there that won't let go.
110
I'm not here to work.
111
I'm here with the answers to all your problems. And what is that?
112
How'd I get your back room up and running again?
113
I'm listening.
114
I was thinking about Chuck E.
115
Cheese.
116
Oh, God.
117
Hear me out.
118
Your payouts were in cash.
119
That's illegal.
120
When you play games at Chuck E.
121
Cheese, you win tickets.
122
Those tickets are traded for prizes.
123
That's legal.
124
You just need to do the same thing.
125
People play your machines.
126
Now the credits they win get exchanged for stuffed animals.
127
Then you buy those stuffed animals back for cash.
128
No law is broken, and you're back in business.
129
That's the stupidest thing I ever heard.
130
Why?
131
Because I don't run a carnival.
132
Grown up people don't gamble to win a teddy bear.
133
You're not getting it.
134
I'm getting it.
135
It's dumb.
136
I'm trying to help you.
137
If you really wanted to help me, you would stick your head in there and start scraping.
138
I guess I'll just sell the place.
139
If I take a bath, so be it.
140
I don't know.
141
I got a realtor friend I might be able to have.
142
You mean like your cop friend who shut me down?
143
Yeah, that wasn't great, Dale.
144
But what about Georgie's idea?
145
That dumb Chuck E.
146
Cheese thing, Dale.
147
Come on.
148
Well, actually, I think it's kind of brilliant.
149
You think that grown-ups are going to gamble for some stuffed animals?
150
Yeah, that you're buying back from them.
151
Well, a teddy bear's only worth a couple of bucks.
152
It's worth whatever you say it's worth.
153
They win a hundred bucks and it's worth a hundred bucks.
154
It seems I owe you an apology.
155
Come on in.
156
Hey there, Connie.
157
What do you want?
158
Is that any way to greet an officer of the law?
159
Sorry.
160
What do you want?
161
I hear you're back in business.
162
We're not breaking any laws.
163
People are just winning these prizes.
164
That you buy back for cash?
165
It's a gray area.
166
Look, I'm not here to argue.
167
At the risk of repeating myself, what do you want?
168
I've heard that in cash businesses such as this, that some owners can benefit by having a strong relationship with their local police department.
169
What are you getting at?
170
I'm just wondering if there's something you can do to incur goodwill.
171
Are you shaking me down?
172
No. Are you hitting on me?
173
No. Uh, I'm just saying.
174
I've heard some business owners like to invest in local law enforcement.
175
You are shaking me down.
176
It's a gray area.
177
What kind of contribution are we talking?
178
Well, it's up to you.
179
I understand that somewhere between 9 and 11% is popular.
180
10%?
181
If you insist.
182
How about three?
183
Three what?
184
Three counts of illegal gambling?
185
Three years in jail?
186
I'm paying you in quarters.
187
Since when did we start advertising gambling rooms?
188
What?
189
It's a laundromat.
190
Yeah.
191
And the massage parlor off the freeway is for stiff necks.
192
Well, that is a legitimate business.
193
My mother owns it.
194
My son works there.
195
You say so.
196
I do say so.
197
Fine.
198
It's true!
199
I'd say won a bet, but I lost 40 bucks last night at your mom's legitimate business.
200
Are you running a gambling room in the back of the laundromat?
201
What?
202
No. Peck says she was there last night.
203
Oh, gambling room.
204
Yeah.
205
What are you thinking?
206
You know gambling is illegal.
207
Why do you care how people spend their money?
208
Gambling destroys lives.
209
That's what you say about booze.
210
I think it's an excellent pairing.
211
Wait.
212
Does Georgie know about all this?
213
Um...
214
Oh my lord!
215
It's okay, I'm looking after him.
216
What if the police show up?
217
Don't you worry about them.
218
We got an understanding.
219
What does that mean?
220
I'd explain it to you, but you wouldn't understand.
221
You are unbelievable.
222
If it is bad enough for you to do all this stuff, but then to drag Georgie down into your den of sin?
223
Oh, please.
224
It's not a den of sin.
225
Although that is a great name.
226
Den of sin.
227
That would get some butts in seats.
228
Is Georgie here? here?
229
No, I think he's still at work.
230
Do you know that that laundromat is just a front for gambling?
231
Cool.
232
Missy Cooper, that was not for your ears.
233
Go to your room.
234
So what's this all about?
235
My mother is running a gambling room out of the back of the laundromat, and she has Georgie helping her.
236
He never invited me.
237
George, we have to get him out of there.
238
Mary, we told him not to drop out of school.
239
He dropped out of school.
240
I told him he couldn't have girls in the garage.
241
He has girls in the garage.
242
He does? So many.
243
Missy!
244
I'm in my room.
245
Well, close the door.
246
All the way.
247
The point is, he didn't listen to us, Danny.
248
He's not going to listen now.
249
So we do nothing?
250
We let him make his own mistakes.
251
That just sounds like another way of saying we do nothing.
252
I'm going to go down there.
253
And that's a mistake I'm going to let you make.
254
Georgie?
255
Hey, what are you doing here?
256
I know about the room in the back.
257
Do you know whether or not I know?
258
Yes.
259
OK, that's going to save us a lot of time.
260
It is not OK.
261
You are quitting right now.
262
Why would I do that?
263
Because I am your mother, and it is wrong.
264
Well, I'm working for your mother, and she says it's OK.
265
And I answer to a higher power, and he says it's also wrong.
266
So I went, let's go.
267
Mom, please don't make a big deal out of this.
268
Oh, so there is an illegal gambling room in the back, and it's no big deal.
269
There's a gambling room back then.
270
And there is a church two blocks down, so maybe try that.
271
Just go around to the alley.
272
The password is dryer sheet.
273
This is not a joke.
274
I'm worried about your soul.
275
I'm not gambling.
276
No one's getting hurt.
277
Georgie, I know you think that, but this does hurt people.
278
It's not my business what people do with their money.
279
And it ain't your business either, so butt out.
280
Ms. McAllister, we don't have any insurance information on file for you.
281
Oh, that's all right.
282
We'll be paying in cash.
283
Cash.
284
In God we trust.
285
You always carry that much cash around?
286
Do you think there's just boobs in this bra?
287
No, I mean, why?
288
Well, the laundromat's a cash business.
289
That's mostly just quarters, though, isn't it?
290
Um, yeah, but well, now we've got the video store and I'm not real big on banks.
291
Because you lived through the depression.
292
Yeah.
293
Over in this aisle, we've got your new releases.
294
Here are your action and adventures, your Stallones, your Schwarzeneggers, your Van Dams, and of course we have a whole row of chick flicks,
295
known in the movie biz as rom-coms. Do not enter.
296
What's back there?
297
Oh, that?
298
That's just some storage and a bunch of machines that rewind the tapes when people are not kind and don't rewind.
299
Very cool.
300
Hey, if you ever need any help behind the cash register, I'd sure rather be working here than being on my feet all day at the diner.
301
Mmm, no. No, you don't want to do that.
302
You're such a good waitress.
303
It'd be a waste of your talent.
304
Hey, Georgie.
305
Officer Rutledge.
306
Congratulations on your expanding business empire.
307
Thank you.
308
Very kind.
309
Hey there, Jake.
310
Hey, Connie.
311
I was just telling your grandson here how much I love the new place.
312
Mandy, let me show you the kids section.
313
Got all the Looney Tunes, Flintstones, Fraggle Rock.
314
What's going on?
315
Nothing.
316
Just figured we're having a kid, we should be familiar with the genre.
317
Well, thanks for dropping by.
318
We need to renegotiate our arrangement.
319
And we will talk about that soon.
320
Meanwhile, have some red vines.
321
Show good faith.
322
You wouldn't think it about Jake, but he just loves a foreign film.
323
Just stop it, okay?
324
I know what's going on here.
325
You do?
326
That creepy cop, that trip to Mexico, all that cash in your bra.
327
Y'all are selling drugs.
328
We're not selling drugs.
329
So you're telling me there's nothing weird going on back there?
330
Well, I didn't say that.
331
Let's take a walk.
332
Try and keep an open mind.
333
Oh my god.
334
See?
335
Not drugs.
336
And that is the sound of a 22% house advantage. Is it legal?
337
Yes.
338
Oh, kind of.
339
Kind of.
340
So the police are in on it?
341
A little bit, yeah.
342
Silent partner, as they said.
343
I know it's a lot.
344
It's amazing.
345
It is?
346
My kid's going to private school.
347
You're going to private school?
348
Okay, everybody, get away from the wind.
349
Come on.
350
Is there some place we can shelter?
351
Should we move everybody somewhere else?
352
I thought you didn't want to put you-know-who somewhere else.
353
Everybody, follow me, come on.
354
Are we all gonna fit in there?
355
Maybe God will provide a miracle.
356
What is all this?
357
A miracle!
358
I can't believe you're running a gambling room.
359
Well, it's keeping us safe right now, so maybe the Lord works in mysterious ways.
360
Ooh, that's good.
361
Or maybe he sent that storm so I could save all these souls.
362
Ooh, that's good too.
363
Well, if you're going to save our souls, we're going to have to survive.
364
How about you put in a word with your boss?
365
Right.
366
Everyone hold hands.
367
Dear Lord.
368
The thing you need to know about slot machines is that they provide the house with a 17% edge.
369
And that is a whole lot of edge for me, Mo and your daddy.
370
Huh?
371
Oh, that ain't good.
372
Excuse me.
373
I don't work here.
374
Party president, please stop running.
375
Hey Dale, what's up?
376
You're kidding.
377
Till Monday.
378
What's going on?
379
Shh.
380
What, is there anything I can do?
381
Yeah, I know a couple lawyers.
382
Who needs a lawyer?
383
Meemaw's in jail.
384
Hang up.
385
What's she in jail for?
386
I'm not sure.
387
Some kind of room got shut down.
388
Oh, the gambling room.
389
What?
390
Yeah, in the back of the laundromat.
391
Isn't that illegal?
392
Yeah.
393
That's why she's in jail.
394
She tried to run?
395
Oh, that makes me so happy.
396
If I'm to understand correctly, our Meemaw's been running a criminal enterprise.
397
Cool, huh?
398
No, it is most certainly not cool.
399
On the one hand, people need to pay for their crimes.
400
On the other, if Meemaw's in prison, who's going to smell like Ben Gay and kiss me on the head?
401
She's an old lady.
402
They're not going to lock her up forever.
403
I sure hope not.
404
Hey, Audrey.
405
Where's Mary?
406
She's a...
407
Mary!
408
Oh, hi.
409
Why do you have the baby?
410
Um, it's kind of a long story.
411
Why do you have the baby?
412
My mother was arrested.
413
She's in jail.
414
I can't get a straight answer from anybody in this family.
415
A gambling room?
416
Yes.
417
And she'd been bribing the authorities.
418
I wouldn't use that word, but there were donations made to the authorities.
419
And Georgie worked there?
420
Well, he also runs the laundromat.
421
Very legitimate.
422
For money laundering.
423
And regular laundering.
424
I can't believe this.
425
What kind of a family has my daughter married into?
426
To be clear, I did not condone any of this.
427
Doesn't matter.
428
This is a criminal environment, and I'm taking the baby.
429
Over my dead body.
430
Cece is my granddaughter too, and she is perfectly safe here.
431
Well, as long as she's here, I'm here.
432
Fine. Are you hungry?
433
I have half a bucket of spaghetti in the fridge.
434
I could eat.
435
Alright, I'll go heat it up.
436
What?
437
You think I'm going to take the baby and run?
438
Yes.
439
Would you like some garlic bread?
440
That sounds nice.
441
Thanks for coming by.
442
Yeah, what's the situation?
443
Well, right now it's kind of a standoff.
444
They're eating spaghetti and Mary's holding the baby hostage.
445
All right.
446
What's our point?
447
Well, I figured we'll be dealing with each other for the rest of our lives, so we've got to keep things settled.
448
Now I'm with you.
449
Let me start by saying you are a pleasure.
450
Oh, I'm back at you.
451
And your daughter is a keeper.
452
And your son is a fine young man.
453
Thank you.
454
So, you ready to do this?
455
I'm right behind you.
456
Hey, Mayor, look who stepped back.
457
Mmm, it's good coffee.
458
Is that Folgers?
459
Maxwell House.
460
Oh, sure, good to the last drop.
461
Audrey, am I crazier than we used to drink Maxwell House?
462
Yes.
463
Mm-hmm.
464
Hmm.
465
Why'd we change?
466
It's a mystery.
467
Speaking of mysteries, Mary, did you ever find out a earring you were looking for?
468
Family heirloom.
469
Just don't.
470
Maybe her mother stole it.
471
I'm not holding a baby anymore, so you better watch it.
472
Audrey's uncle was a bank robber.
473
Jim!
474
He's in Leavenworth.
475
He's my uncle by marriage.
476
Look, all I'm saying is every family's got secrets, right?
477
We sure got some skeletons in the closet.
478
We do not.
479
Other than my mother. And?
480
My cousin Janine is a practicing witch, but that's it.
481
Worship Satan.
482
I got you beat.
483
My brother William, he's a Democrat.
484
He voted for Mondale.
485
Oh, I'm so sorry.
486
Actually, it feels good to talk about it.

¿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.
