1
Oh, I'd let you go, but I was here first.
2
Words to live by.
3
By Harvey Specter, the most selfish man in the world.
4
Don't mind if I do.
5
Wait a second.
6
What are you doing here so early?
7
I always get in this early.
8
You never get in this early, and I know that for a fact, because this is the time I get in every single day.
9
You should sleep in once in a while.
10
It's good for you.
11
Trust me, I do it every single day.
12
It just so happens that this morning I have work to do.
13
What work?
14
The Schmookensburg brief?
15
The Schmookensburg brief?
16
That's what you're going with?
17
It's not gonna write itself.
18
I'm taking your name off the wall.
19
Seriously, I'm here for the Tokyo market.
20
Name one Tokyo market.
21
The Nikkei.
22
Name another.
23
Honda.
24
Toyota.
25
Kia.
26
Kia's Korean.
27
Yeah, but they're in the same time zone.
28
Word is currently dinner.
29
I'm a little tired of this inquisition.
30
This is exactly why I don't come in this early.
31
Oh, and the reason that you're here this early this morning is because it's Mike Ross's first day back. Is it?
32
So you got yourself an office.
33
That's not as nice as the one I had, but...
34
It's still a step up.
35
You mean because it's smaller or because the view is worse?
36
I mean because it's my old office.
37
You're shitting me.
38
Look in the top left drawer.
39
You're serious?
40
I am.
41
Donna said she did this.
42
She had the idea to give you an office.
43
It was my idea to give you this office.
44
And it just happened to be empty?
45
Something like that.
46
Right.
47
It's good to have you back where you belong.
48
Okay, enough fun.
49
Sean Cahill's trying to go through every file we have on the takeover.
50
You in?
51
Sure as hell don't want to do an amicus brief for Paul Porter.
52
Good.
53
Then figure out a way to keep Cahill from getting his hands on our documents.
54
Do it fast because we don't have much time.
55
Harvey, have you considered the fact that he's been going after us for collusion and we didn't collude?
56
What are you getting at?
57
Why don't we just give him all the files?
58
We have nothing to hide and fighting him makes it look like we do.
59
That's what I said to Jessica.
60
You know what she said to me?
61
A cop follows a car long enough, he's going to find a busted taillight.
62
And even if he doesn't, he's going to bust it himself.
63
Speaking of Jessica, you never told me how she felt about me coming back.
64
Find a way to beat Cahill, and then ask me that again.

¿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.
