1
Oh, my God!
2
Sheldon.
3
Oh, hi, Georgie.
4
Why was Veronica Duncan hugging you?
5
I'm tutoring her in trigonometry.
6
And that gets you hugs?
7
Thanks to me, she got her first C-minus.
8
Just between us, she's a little slow.
9
That's not what I heard.
10
What did you hear?
11
Is she secretly clever?
12
Because if she is, I completely missed it.
13
It doesn't matter.
14
You just need to introduce me to her.
15
Why?
16
I want to be her friend.
17
Well, you better take a number.
18
She's friends with a lot of boys around here.
19
Let me worry about that.
20
You just need to introduce us.
21
All right.
22
You know, she pays me $2 for every one of our tutoring lessons.
23
How much did it cost her to get a C-?
24
$26.
25
That's a good deal.
26
What are we doing here?
27
Waiting for Veronica.
28
How do you know she's in there?
29
It's kind of her homeroom.
30
Oh, hello again.
31
Oh.
32
Hey, what's up?
33
This is my brother Georgie.
34
He wanted to meet you.
35
Really?
36
Really.
37
I like your hair.
38
Uh, me too.
39
There's nobody in my house.
40
Want to come over?
41
Yes.
42
Okay, let's go.
43
What's that?
44
Some stupid haunted house my mother's doing for the church.
45
Let's check it out.
46
I thought we were going to your house.
47
We are.
48
Let's just do this first.
49
It'll be fun.
50
Pleased to meet you.
51
I go by many names.
52
Satan.
53
My mother's fears that no one would be saved that Halloween night were proven incorrect.
54
As they kissed, she thought about the choices that led her to this moment.
55
Mr. Lundy's scene about lust made a deep impact on my brother's date.
56
The youth was gone.
57
She had traded her beauty for a few tawdry dollars, and now she had nothing left but shame.
58
The venereal disease!
59
She asked to be saved by Jesus.
60
I don't want to live like this anymore.
61
Just repeat after me.
62
And as it turns out, she was.
63
She went on to live a life devoted to God, feeding the poor, even helping her sister start a literacy program for female prisoners.
64
My brother, on the other hand, became a devout atheist after that night.
65
All right, everybody, welcome to the 1990 East Texas Baptist Olympics.
66
Because we're in the pool of water.
67
Anyway, I want to welcome our little sister, Veronica Duncan, who I will be Duncan.
68
Sorry, I can't turn it off.
69
And I also want to welcome George Cooper, who has recently found his way to the Lord.
70
Howdy.
71
Praise Jesus.
72
Are you ready to learn some advanced calculus?
73
Nope.
74
Be right back.
75
Take your time.
76
Veronica, do you trust in Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?
77
I do.
78
It's upon your profession of faith that I baptize you, my sister, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
79
Amen.
80
Wait in the water, wait in the water, children, wait in the water.
81
Washing me down, washing me down.
82
Wait.
83
Wait.
84
Wait.
85
Alright, let's try this again.
86
Would you be ready to learn some advanced calculus if it saves Celeste's pigtails?
87
What are you doing?
88
Put her down.
89
Not until I modify your behavior.
90
In the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
91
Sheldon, I'm warning you.
92
Hallelujah!
93
We did it!
94
I'm so happy.
95
I love you. Is it working?
96
Are you feeling motivated?
97
Very.
98
Care to explain yourself?
99
I was trying to motivate Missy to expand her intellectual horizons.
100
By torturing her Cabbage Patch doll.
101
Well, it's not like I shocked her with electrodes, which was an option.
102
Enough!
103
To be clear, I meant to shock Missy, not the doll.
104
That would be ineffective.
105
Enough!
106
And you, getting baptized just to kiss a girl?
107
What were you thinking?
108
Sounds like you know what I was thinking.
109
Well, you are both grounded.
110
Where's Georgie?
111
I don't know.
112
I called him ten minutes ago.
113
He's probably curled up in a ball crying about Veronica.
114
Why do you say that?
115
It's just what I'm hearing. From who?
116
I'm kind of plugged into this town.
117
I'll go check on them.
118
Where did you get all this info?
119
There's a lot of kid sisters out there.
120
We talk.
121
Honey? Can I come in?
122
No. Oh, baby, everything all right?
123
I don't want to talk about it.
124
You might feel better if you do.
125
Is it about a girl?
126
How do you know?
127
Sometimes a mother can sense these things.
128
Veronica has a boyfriend.
129
You mean Dustin?
130
You know him?
131
Well, yeah, she met him through the church.
132
Lovely young man.
133
You like him?
134
Well, um...
135
The Lord teaches us to like everybody.
136
I just can't stop thinking about her with another guy.
137
It's making me crazy.
138
Oh, why don't you come eat something?
139
You'll feel better.
140
Can't.
141
I feel like I got punched in the stomach.
142
Trust me.
143
This'll pass.
144
You won't meet other girls.
145
They won't be Veronica.
146
Is he taller than me?
147
It doesn't matter.
148
It's what's inside a person that counts.
149
How much taller?
150
A lot.
151
My dearest Veronica.
152
My beloved Veronica.
153
Better.
154
It's got love in it.
155
Every minute I'm away from you is an eternity is an eternity, but it feels longer than that.
156
I can't eat, I can't sleep.
157
It's like there's a hole in my heart that only your love can fill. So true.
158
And yes, I know about Dustin, but he can't love you the way I do.
159
Because my love is the kind of love that is true love.
160
The kind that lovers feel when they're in love.
161
Beautiful.
162
So in conclusion, I hope, no, I pray.
163
I hope and pray that you'll give me the chance to be the boyfriend you deserve.
164
And when the time is right, I'm able to shower you with diamonds, houses, boats and cars, the husband of your dreams,
165
loving you with my heart, my soul, and my lips.
166
Georgie Cooper.
167
What's this, a love note?
168
I didn't give that back.
169
Oh, I don't think so.
170
To my beloved Veronica, every minute I'm away from you is an eternity, but it feels longer than that.
171
And then Brian Larkin read the letter out loud in the hall.
172
No. Georgie used the word love like 30 times.
173
It was pathetic.
174
That hurts to hear.
175
Really?
176
I think it's hilarious.
177
Also, my math teacher's pregnant.
178
Well, that's nice.
179
It might not be her husband's.
180
Whose do you think it is?
181
Hey.
182
Hey.
183
Going somewhere?
184
Alaska.
185
Gonna work on the pipeline.
186
Alaska, huh?
187
That's pretty far.
188
Not far enough, but it'll have to do.
189
Look, Georgie, I know it feels bad right now, but I promise it'll get better.
190
How's it gonna get better?
191
Veronica thinks I'm a jerk, and everyone in the school is calling me Lovey Cooper.
192
Ooh, that is not a good name.
193
It doesn't matter, because I'm never going back to that school.
194
Listen to me.
195
Hey.
196
You're a good-looking kid, and you got a big heart.
197
Once we get you on a daily shower schedule, the girls are gonna be lining up.
198
I don't want girls.
199
I want Veronica.
200
Yeah, maybe you'll get her and maybe you won't.
201
But someday, you'll find the woman who is really meant for you.
202
I thought Dustin was different.
203
I thought he wanted to live a Christian life like me.
204
But all he wanted is what every guy wants.
205
Guys.
206
I'm pleased.
207
You're all the same.
208
Hey, you rejected me, you punched me in the face, and I'm still here.
209
Happy eating waffles with you.
210
Georgie, do you really think you're capable of just being my friend?
211
That's a good question.
212
My brain says yes.
213
What about the rest of you?
214
Honestly, I wouldn't trust it.
215
Mind if I sit?
216
You sure you want to be seen with me?
217
Oh, please.
218
You're not a commie.
219
Everyone else seems to think I am.
220
Do you even know what a communist is?
221
Yeah.
222
It's the big blonde guy Rocky fights in Rocky IV.
223
And he also fights them when he's Rambo.
224
That's it?
225
Well, I know in every movie it looks like the commies are going to win.
226
But they don't.
227
You ever seen any Rocky movies?
228
Uh, I saw Rocky II.
229
That's the second one.
230
Sorry, Axel.
231
You'll be back.
232
A peanut woman is a woman who gets all the love What are you doing?
233
Documenting.
234
This may never happen again.
235
What's in there?
236
Don't open it.
237
But what's in there?
238
Don't open it!
239
I emptied out this drawer so you can put your stuff away. Where are your clothes?
240
I threw most of them out.
241
You didn't have to do that.
242
It's okay.
243
They were old and full of holes.
244
And it worked out great.
245
I found some firecrackers in a bag full of my baby teeth.
246
Thank you.
247
Oh, I also hung a cross over the bed for you.
248
It's just popsicle sticks and glitter.
249
I glued it together in Sunday school when I was a kid. Is it too much?
250
I can take it down.
251
No, it's.. it's really sweet.
252
Why are you crying?
253
Did Georgie bring up your unfortunate home life?
254
Uh, no. Good.
255
My mom said not to so that you would be comfortable.
256
Thank you. Are you comfortable?
257
Mom?
258
Yes, honey?
259
Do I have to sit downwind of Georgie's cologne?
260
So, Veronica, I understand that you're a junior?
261
Yes, sir.
262
Do you have any plans for after high school?
263
I'm hoping for a scholarship to Baylor so I can get a teaching degree.
264
I like kids.
265
Really?
266
Kids?
267
You're so tall and pretty.
268
You should be Vanna White.
269
How can she be Vanna White?
270
Vanna White is Vanna White.
271
Fine.
272
She could be Vanna Blue.
273
See, this is the kind of nonsense you have to deal with when you're around kids.
274
He does have a point.
275
No, I love this.
276
We never eat dinner together at my house.
277
You eat alone?
278
Mostly, yeah.
279
Lucky duck.
280
What do you want?
281
Grab your stuff.
282
Your mama wants you home.
283
Yeah?
284
Well, when she wants me to come home, she can call me.
285
Damn it, Veronica.
286
I'm in no mood.
287
What's going on?
288
I'm taking her home.
289
She's not going anywhere with you.
290
What'd you say?
291
Clint, stop!
292
You mind putting down my kid?
293
He's just playing around.
294
This is my mom's boyfriend, Clint.
295
Hello, Clint.
296
What can we do for you?
297
I'm here to pick up Veronica.
298
Come on.
299
You want to go with this man?
300
No, sir.
301
You heard her.
302
Thanks for stopping by.
303
You really want to mess with me?
304
Sure.
305
Why not?
306
What's going on out there?
307
You might want to call the police.
308
Why?
309
There's a bunk sleeping on the front porch.
310
What's he doing here?
311
Y'all getting a divorce?
312
No, no. He's just here for dinner.
313
Oh.
314
Welcome, your holiness.
315
Holiness?
316
I thought you were hanging out with Veronica tonight.
317
We were supposed to, but then she invited a bunch of our choir friends over, and it turned into a stupid Bible study.
318
No offense.
319
None taken.
320
Honestly, I do not understand the female mind. Do something.
321
Georgie, why don't you go eat dinner in front of the TV?
322
No, it's all right.
323
Sounds like Georgie's having trouble navigating the perilous waters of a relationship.
324
Believe me, I can understand.
325
You having problems with your hot wife?
326
Maybe I'll go eat by the TV.
327
Veronica says I'm the nicest guy she knows.
328
She also says she only wants to date nice guys.
329
Does that mean she wants to date me?
330
I bet she doesn't.
331
No, she does not.
332
Doesn't make any sense.
333
Nothing they do that makes any sense.
334
I know.
335
At least she's not crying anymore.
336
Devil's got something to do with it.
337
Hey, Veronica.
338
What was that about?
339
Just conducting a little business.
340
Careful.
341
My sister sold stuff at school.
342
She ended up in juvie.
343
Nothing like that.
344
Just candy.
345
Very entrepreneurial.
346
I'm impressed.
347
Impressed.
348
Impressed.
349
Impressed.
350
What can I say?
351
I'm entrepreneurialistic.
352
Is that a word?
353
I don't know.
354
But if you got a lot of money, you get to make stuff up.
355
Alright, well, good luck.
356
Hey, you look like a Kit-Kat man.
357
Veronica!
358
Oh, hey.
359
Come here, I got something for you.
360
Ooh, is it candy?
361
No, but it is pretty sweet.
362
Georgie, what did you do?
363
Just open it.
364
This looks expensive.
365
It was.
366
Check out the price tag.
367
A hundred dollars?
368
And that's without tax.
369
I can't accept this.
370
But I bought it for you.
371
Well, you shouldn't have.
372
I don't get you.
373
I went out of my way to buy you something nice, and you don't even want it.
374
Georgie, it's too much.
375
You're not going to impress me by throwing money around.
376
You sure?
377
And material girl, Madonna loves it.
378
Oh, Georgie.
379
Before you get mad, this only cost me 10 cents.
380
I saw you smile.
381
Go away, Georgie.
382
You can need it or wear it.
383
It's up to you.
384
I like that jacket.
385
Then you'll probably like my pants.
386
They're made of the same stuff.
387
Well, see you in class.
388
OK.
389
Veronica.
390
Hey, Georgie.
391
What's up?
392
We're friends, right?
393
Yeah.
394
We're just friends?
395
What do you mean?
396
I've asked you out a bunch, and you've made it pretty clear you weren't interested.
397
But before I asked out another girl, I just wanted to make sure that...
398
It's fine.
399
You sure?
400
Because if it's not...
401
Georgie, I need to focus on my relationship with God right now.
402
But I'm really happy for you.
403
Okay.
404
Cool.
405
Cool.
406
Well, guess I'll see you around.
407
Yep.
408
Let's split up.
409
You want live chicken or dead chicken?
410
Hey.
411
Right in there.
412
Hi.
413
Hello.
414
Hi.
415
See ya.
416
I'll take the chicken problems.
417
Girl in bedroom, all yours.
418
George, why are you not in that bedroom?
419
Well, I'm just thinking of what to say.
420
They're teenagers.
421
If you wait any longer, they'll be done.
422
I'm just gonna grab a beer.
423
George!
424
Georgie?
425
What?
426
The door stays open.
427
Wow, we're just listening to music.
428
My house, my rules.
429
And don't sit on the bed.
430
Where are we supposed to sit?
431
Just not on the bed.
432
Whatever.
433
He's just mad because we're young and he's not.
434
Done.
435
I made him sit on the floor.
436
Smart.
437
Nobody ever got pregnant on the floor.
438
Have you had to talk with that boy? Of course.
439
Really?
440
What'd you say?
441
You know, your stuff.
442
Good stuff.
443
You know, Father says, and we had to talk with the son.
444
Good Lord.
445
Did you tell him about protection?
446
Oh, come on, Connie.
447
Well, it's important.
448
What if he knocks that poor girl up and ruins her life?
449
Is that a swipe at me?
450
Well, it depends.
451
Did you knock up my daughter and ruin her life?
452
Wait, I know the answer.
453
Hey, for your information, Mary is very happy. Do I have to?
454
You want to have grandkids to this mess?
455
God, no. Georgie, we need to talk.
456
What now?
457
You're of an age where your body has...
458
urges.
459
Oh, my God.
460
Georgie, you need to hear this.
461
From both of you?
462
Who do you want to hear from?
463
No one.
464
If I got to pick, I guess you.
465
Good choice.
466
Don't forget to tell me about venereal disease.
467
And I know your mama want me to tell you to wait till marriage, but I also know you're probably not going to. Did you?
468
The important thing is that when you're with a girl...
469
You know how we were running practice drills, and we wear protection so both people are safe?
470
Yeah.
471
Well, there you go.
472
What?
473
Same thing, but with your privates.
474
Please leave.
475
Thank you.
476
This is nice.
477
I like to think of Chi-Chi's as a more romantic Taco Bell.
478
So, what do you like to get here?
479
What?
480
Oh, it doesn't matter.
481
I'll taste the same.
482
Hi, welcome to...
483
Oh, hey, Georgie.
484
Huh.
485
I didn't know you worked here.
486
Well, haven't seen you in a while.
487
Oh, you know Jenna from school?
488
Yeah.
489
Yeah, of course.
490
Hi.
491
Hey.
492
So, can I get you all started with some drinks?
493
I'm good with water.
494
Water sounds great.
495
Refreshing.
496
Here you go.
497
What's this?
498
It's your tip from the other night.
499
I wanted to give it to you then, but I also wanted to get out of there alive.
500
Don't worry about it.
501
You sure?
502
I'm sure.
503
So how long you been working there?
504
Couple weeks, trying to save money for college.
505
Well, now you have to take this, I insist.
506
Thank you.
507
How are things with Jana?
508
Honestly, I have no idea.
509
Should you even be talking to me right now?
510
Probably not.
511
But I'm glad I am.
512
Me too.
513
Bye.
514
I bet the guy who invented the spork is a millionaire.
515
I guess.
516
I wonder if his last name is Spork.
517
It comes from spoon and fork.
518
Spork.
519
Oh my God, mind is blown.
520
You know what you should do?
521
Cut your hair.
522
What?
523
I think it could look better.
524
Ooh, maybe a little beard like George Michael.
525
I wonder how tall he is.
526
I bet he's tall.
527
I'm the only cheerleader you should be looking at.
528
I was trying to find you.
529
Just wanted to wish you a good game.
530
Thank you.
531
I'm gonna be cheering for you.
532
Great.
533
Unless I catch you looking at someone else, then you will regret it.
534
I'm not kidding.
535
I could kiss you forever.
536
It's kind of a long time.
537
You got somewhere else to be?
538
No. It's just that eventually we're gonna get hungry.
539
Why do I keep getting the feeling you're not into this?
540
Oh, I'm into this. But?
541
I mean, we're real young, and who knows what's gonna happen?
542
I know, and you should too.
543
Don't feel bad.
544
I don't know lots of stuff.
545
What'd I say?
546
I'm not enough for you.
547
I didn't say that.
548
Just be honest.
549
You wanna date other girls?
550
I wanna date other girls instead of you.
551
Just in addition to you.
552
Drop dead.
553
Okay, but I'm gonna follow you and make sure you get on safe.
554
Do whatever you want.
555
If you walk to Derrick, ween, I'll buy you a blizzard.
556
I did it.
557
I bought a car.
558
Really?
559
You got the muster hang?
560
I was fixing to, but then something else caught my eye.
561
You did something done.
562
Now, it needs a little bit of work, but once I'm done, it's gonna be amazing.
563
Nope.
564
What do you mean?
565
It's got low mileage, great stereo.
566
Check this out.
567
Look at all the room.
568
Hell no. Why?
569
This isn't a car.
570
It's a motel room on wheels.
571
Is that how little you think of me?
572
Yes, maybe less.
573
George, your mother works for the church.
574
She doesn't look good.
575
I don't know.
576
It looks pretty good to me.
577
Please, listen to me.
578
Come on.
579
If I drive Joan to college, he can sleep back there.
580
So you saw that couch, and the first thought you had was, my brother can sleep on that.
581
Not my first thought.
582
Well?
583
It's very...
584
colorful.
585
Not just colorful.
586
Patriotic.
587
It's also a little gross.
588
It just needs a little shampoo.
589
But check out the best part.
590
Wanna try it out?
591
In front of your parents' house?
592
That's what's so great.
593
We can drive it anywhere.
594
Empty field, abandoned parking lot, wherever love takes us.
595
What is that smell?
596
There's a mouse in the mini fridge.
597
Ew!
598
Did you hear me?
599
There's a mini fridge!
600
Hey, Mr. Boggs.
601
I'm just here to pick up Jana.
602
You think you're taking my daughter out in this?
603
No worries.
604
I'll have her home by 11.
605
Oh!
606
I wouldn't open that.
607
Move.
608
It's got a mini-fridge.
609
I thought about what you said.
610
I'm returning the van.
611
Good night.
612
What do you want to do later?
613
Movies?
614
Putt-putt?
615
I was thinking maybe we could go get a test.
616
What kind of test?
617
The pregnancy kind.
618
We're closed.
619
But the sign said...
620
We're closed!
621
I'm pregnant.
622
You sure I'm not too heavy?
623
No, I got it.
624
I guess it's time to do what people do on their wedding night.
625
Georgie, we're gonna be parents.
626
We don't do that anymore.
627
Oh, right.
628
Besides, my water just broke all over your bed.
629
Dead gum it.
630
Stop having fun and help me take care of these babies.
631
Well, I just got home from my day job, and I only have ten minutes to my night job.
632
That's ten minutes you could be helping.
633
Now go change whichever this one is.
634
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
635
Georgie, there's a band called Guns N' Roses on the phone.
636
Really?
637
Yeah.
638
The guitar has hurt his hand, and they want you to fill in.
639
Tell them I can't.
640
I'm a dad now.
641
Okay.
642
This is a long ten minutes.
643
Well?
644
I'm not.
645
Really?
646
We're good.
647
Thank God.
648
What a relief.
649
I know.
650
We better stop hugging or you're going to need another stick to pee on.
651
So I'm dating a dropout?
652
No. You're dating a guy with a full-time job.
653
And your parents are okay with this?
654
They'll come around.
655
By the way, can I crash at your place?
656
No. My father already doesn't think you're good enough for me, and I don't want him to know he's right.
657
He's not right.
658
He might be a little right.
659
I thought you'd be more supportive.
660
And I thought we were going to be seniors together.
661
Homecoming court, prom king and queen.
662
Voting most likely to stay together forever.
663
We can still stay together.
664
They can't vote for you if you're not a senior.
665
I don't think this is going to work out.
666
You're breaking up with me?
667
Yeah.
668
You're serious?
669
I feel like I don't have a choice.
670
Fine.
671
As a working man, I shouldn't be dating a girl in high school anyway.
672
It's immature.
673
Just take me home.
674
Because it's a school night?
675
How cute.
676
Take me back.
677
No. Dang it.
678
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.
