1
It was time to reap the benefits of my hard work.
Era hora de cosechar los frutos de mi arduo trabajo.
2
Collecting!
¡Coleccionando!
3
Collecting!
4
Hey, Sheldon.
Hola, Sheldon.
5
Hello, Mrs. Sparks.
Hola, señora Sparks.
6
I'm here to collect for this week's paper delivery.
7
Right.
8
Hang on.
9
Also, I'm given to understand that tipping is customary, so feel free to express your appreciation.
10
Here you go.
11
You tipped me a dime.
12
Is there a problem?
13
No, it just doesn't seem like very much.
14
You were late every day.
15
Well, I had to brave the elements.
16
I saw you.
17
Brave isn't the word that I would use.
18
Hey, Sheldon.
19
You look sad.
20
I am.
21
What, Nick?
22
What's that new Star Trek show?
23
Next Generation?
24
When that first came on, you said a new Star Trek without Dr. Spock could never be good, but I've seen you watching it.
25
Well, first of all, it's Mr. Spock.
26
Dr. Spock writes books about babies.
27
My apologies.
28
And second of all, Paige isn't a TV show.
29
She's a person, and we all know how I feel about people.
30
Okay, look, you're right.
31
I don't have many friends.
32
So I was hoping to get to know Paige's mom.
33
But if it makes you uncomfortable, then I will call her and cancel.
34
I'll think about it.
35
Thank you, baby.
36
She was just a little kid.
37
It could...
38
and Georgie beat on the wheel.
39
How could that possibly be God's plan?
40
Looks like you could use a shoulder to cry on to cry on.
41
No, she does not need a shoulder to cry on.
42
But I do need a place to store my pool stick.
43
Maybe I'd like that.
44
Get.
45
What the hell?
46
Your problem now.
47
What am I supposed to do with her?
48
I don't know, but be careful.
49
Last time she's this drunk, you ended up with your first son.
50
Night.
51
He's not that fat, Ma.
52
You got a problem.
53
I don't know how much longer Sheldon can hold out.
54
This is why I did not want you to write a check.
55
Well, I'm sorry, but I didn't have that kind of cash lying around.
56
I do not want Mary to find out about this.
57
What about Sheldon?
58
The kid hasn't pooped in days.
59
He might pop.
60
Slip a little metamucil into his apple juice.
61
He'll be fine.
62
Why don't we just come clean?
63
All right, sure, we could do that.
64
You could rat me out to marry, and I could tell her what you did at the church picnic.
65
Come on!
66
Now you're just playing dirty.
67
We sink or swim together, George.
68
We sink or swim together.
69
Grandma's are supposed to be nice.
70
What went wrong with you?
71
Well, a couple of scientists at the college where Dr. Sturgis teaches are doing a research study on twins.
72
They want to meet you guys, ask you some questions.
73
Oh, boy.
74
A research study.
75
Will they give us written tests?
76
Yeah, I think so.
77
Oh, boy.
78
Now, you don't have to do this if you don't want to.
79
It's purely volunteer.
80
I don't want to do it.
81
Why not?
82
They probably just want to find out why you're so smart and I'm just average.
83
Average?
84
That's a little generous.
85
Why don't they want to test me?
86
Georgie, not now.
87
Because I'm available.
88
Listen, why don't we just go there this Saturday and give it a try?
89
And if you don't like it, we don't have to do it again.
90
Or they'll love it and they'll do it until they're 18, 19 years old.
91
I already love it.
92
My man.
93
Missy?
94
I believe there might be a Dairy Queen on the way there.
95
Can I get an Oreo Blizzard?
96
You know what I think?
97
I think you're smarter than him.
98
You are making them into a good thing.
99
Have you read the script?
100
He's gonna get syphilis.
101
He goes home, he gives it to his wife, she goes crazy.
102
She kills him and her entire family.
103
What am I missing?
104
Sorry I'm late.
105
I couldn't find my keys and then my car wouldn't start.
106
Then I got lost.
107
Holy smokes.
108
Hi.
109
Are you my make-out partner?
110
No, no!
111
No one's making out!
112
This all stops right now!
113
You have got to calm down!
114
I will not have innocent children walk through this house on Halloween and see a half-naked woman.
115
A half-naked woman chock full of syphilis!
116
What?
117
It's pretend syphilis.
118
Mary, I am a trained theater professional.
119
Why don't you just let me do what I do while you,
120
you know, go home and make a nice tuna casserole.
121
All right, Freddy, you're...
122
This is oddly reminiscent of a dinner with my family.
123
You're funny.
124
I know.
125
My family never eats dinner together.
126
Why not?
127
My dad always manages to come home from work after we're done.
128
Hm.
129
My dad never misses a meal.
130
Do you think Stone Age parents stayed together forever?
131
They have to.
132
There were no lawyers.
133
What?
134
That was funny.
135
Right.
136
We've established I'm funny.
137
I think my parents are getting a divorce.
138
Why?
139
They fight all the time. About what?
140
Mostly me.
141
That's too bad.
142
I guess I'm lucky.
143
Why?
144
I'm the glue that holds our family together.
145
What are you kids doing in there?
146
I had a buddy in high school who had a pacer with the flames painted on the side.
147
Which is funny because the damn thing caught fire during the homecoming parade.
148
Too bad he didn't know Herschel.
149
He can fix anything.
150
Guy's a genius.
151
You mean a car genius.
152
Is dad getting his feelings hurt?
153
Yes.
154
The ball don't like.
155
Sorry.
156
Excuse us.
157
Thank you.
158
See you later.
159
There it is!
160
The Cyclops!
161
I see it!
162
Get it!
163
Get it!
164
I'm trying.
165
Use the sword!
166
Use the sword!
167
Your YEP is open again!
168
Hello?
169
What?
170
It's past his bedtime.
171
Let's go.
172
Oh, come on.
173
Five more minutes?
174
No!
175
Now say goodnight to your grandson.
176
You'll play with him again tomorrow.
177
Beginning on Wednesday night, I observed my parents arguing over the possibility of us moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
178
Ugh, Oklahoma.
179
The argument escalated, and then my father stormed out and bought a Fiero.
180
And then I went to my Meemaw's and slept in my underwear!
181
That's it.
182
I've wasted my life.
183
You want to tell me what happened?
184
Instead of remaining a neutral observer, I got emotional in front of the whole class.
185
Well, that's not a big deal.
186
Yes, it is.
187
I'm a scientist.
188
You never hear about Newton crying like a baby when he got brutalized by an apple.
189
If you were home, I was going to say, is Mr. Wall there?
190
And then you would say no. And then I would say, is Mrs. Wall there?
191
And then you would say no. And then I would say, well, if there are no walls, then how does your roof stay up?
192
Um, okay.
193
Bazinga. That was pathetic.
194
It was.
195
I'm not sure I'm cut out for these antics and shenanigans.
196
I guess you're gonna go up to be a weirdo.
197
I suppose I am.
198
Life is so confusing.
199
I always hoped it would be easier for me when I grew up, but now I'm not so sure it will.
200
It's going to be all right.
201
You were faking.
202
Bazinga.
203
And that's how I became the madcap prankster all my friends know and love.
204
God, please look after my sister.
205
You can find her at the woman's correctional facility in Lubbock.
206
Help her seek salvation in you instead of cocaine, marijuana, and bass players.
207
Jesus, I'm sure even from heaven you can see how hot the girl sitting next to me is.
208
And I know I'm not supposed to pray for myself, but here's the deal.
209
If you can get her to fall in love with me and, you know, make some bad decisions, I swear I'll come to church every Sunday.
210
And thank you for bringing Georgie tonight.
211
Even though you and I both know why he came.
212
Speaking of which, whatever he's praying for right now, ignore it.
213
And please protect me from impure thoughts, and teach me to respect the sanctity of my body.
214
Now if, for instance, she and I were to go skinny dipping, and one thing were to lead to another under the moonlit sky, get this, not only do I become a devout Christian,
215
I will also bug everybody I meet to do the same.
216
And you know, I can be real annoying when I set my mind to it.
217
Amen.
218
Amen.
219
I'm gonna take your silence as a yes.
220
Amen.
221
This is ridiculous.
222
He said an hour and a half, almost two.
223
I'm gonna go yell at somebody.
224
Go and yell at everybody.
225
Y'all can exhale.
226
Surgery went great.
227
Thank you, Jesus.
228
Shelton's gonna need to stay here three, four days, which is standard.
229
But after that, he's good to go home.
230
I really appreciate it, Doc.
231
We can't thank you enough for taking care of him.
232
He's extremely intelligent.
233
Oh, yeah.
234
He's our special airport. So well.
235
Are you ready to see your family?
236
Yes.
237
That's good, because they're ready to see you.
238
Okay.
239
There he is.
240
There's my baby.
241
Hey, buddy.
242
How are you feeling?
243
I brought you some comic books.
244
Hi, Moonpun.
245
Hi, Meemaw.
246
Where's your gallbladder?
247
I want to see it.
248
They throw it away, honey.
249
Why?
250
Aw.
251
Oh, hello, Sheldon.
252
Good evening.
253
Do you have any idea where I could obtain radioactive material?
254
That's an interesting question.
255
What do you need it for?
256
I'm trying to build a small nuclear reactor to provide electricity for my house, and possibly the whole neighborhood, if they're nice to me.
257
Fun.
258
The problem is, I don't know where to get the necessary radioactive material.
259
Oh.
260
Do you happen to have any unexploded atomic bombs?
261
Not a one.
262
Shoot.
263
What about an X-ray machine?
264
Nope.
265
That makes sense.
266
You're just a kid.
267
Oh, I know.
268
Smoke detectors contain trace amounts of americium-241.
269
Interesting.
270
But I'd need a lot of them, and they're expensive.
271
True.
272
Hey, I bet if you call a few companies and say it's for a school project, You could get them for free.
273
That's a great idea.
274
Thanks.
275
You're very welcome.
276
What a cute kid.
277
Well, don't you look like Madonna.
278
Thank you.
279
I was actually trying to look like you.
280
Thank you.
281
Why would you give her makeup without talking to me first?
282
I didn't give her any makeup.
283
Well, then, one of you is lying.
284
She is.
285
She is.
286
Time to come clean, little lady.
287
I ain't taking the hit on this one.
288
I took the makeup from Emile's bag.
289
Oh, Missy, you are in a world of trouble.
290
Calm down.
291
It's not that big a deal.
292
It is so a big deal.
293
She stole from you and then she lied about it.
294
I know, but come on.
295
She's only ten.
296
She's gonna do way stupider stuff when she's older.
297
Guaranteed.
298
I don't care.
299
She is my daughter and you will be punished.
300
Sorry, kid.
301
I wish I was your daughter. Is that so?
302
Well, guess what?
303
You're sleeping here tonight because I don't feel like being around either one of you.
304
Great.
305
Yeah, great.
306
Okay, fellas, let's keep it civil.
307
You claim that the only way to calculate the magnetic field in QCD units is using Maxwell's equations, but you're completely discrediting energy density.
308
But you're still off.
309
By a factor of 3.54, which would seem insignificant, but when examined closely, you realize that it's the square root of 4 times pi.
310
Your point being?
311
Rationalized and non-rationalized units differ by 4 times pi.
312
Anyone with a basic knowledge of electric and magnetic fields would know that.
313
I'm lost.
314
Are we still being civil?
315
It's all right, Connie.
316
Sheldon's trying to justify his shortcut.
317
Not a shortcut.
318
A more elegant and efficient method to achieve the correct answer.
319
Well, I applaud the effort, young man.
320
Don't treat me like a child.
321
Treat me like a colleague.
322
Fine.
323
This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.
324
How could you say that?
325
What are you doing?
326
Treating him like a colleague.
327
Do you and your colleagues make each other run out of the room crying like that?
328
Sometimes.
329
My country, tis of thee,
330
Sweet land of liberty, Lovely I sing,
331
land where our fathers died.
332
Let's sing along, land of that pilgrim's pride.
333
Mind if I sit?
334
You sure you want to be seen with me?
335
Oh, please.
336
You're not a commie.
337
Everyone else seems to think I am.
338
Do you even know what a communist is?
339
Yeah.
340
It's the big blonde guy Rocky fights in Rocky IV.
341
And he also fights them when he's Rambo.
342
That's it?
343
Well, I know in every movie it looks like the commies are gonna win, but they don't.
344
You ever seen any Rocky movies?
345
Uh, I saw Rocky II.
346
That's the second one.
347
Sheldon, dinner!
348
Coming!
349
Sorry I'm late.
350
Shalom.
351
What's on your head?
352
A yarmulke.
353
A yarmulke what?
354
It's a special Jewish hat.
355
It reminds the wearer that God is always over you.
356
Mom?
357
Oh, come on.
358
It's funny.
359
It's not funny, and it's not a yarmulke.
360
It is a coaster I crocheted at Bible camp.
361
Are you gonna say something to him?
362
Normally I would, but I got bigger problems right now.
363
What did you say, Grace?
364
Hold on.
365
Are these hot dogs kosher?
366
What's wrong?
367
Nothing.
368
Keep going.
369
Mary?
370
George, I just miss my little boy so much and he's never going to come back because he doesn't need his mama.
371
Oh, baby, of course he'll come back.
372
Oh, you should have seen how happy he was.
373
All right, well, you still got Georgie and Missy.
374
Oh dear.
375
Oh dear.
376
Oh dear.
377
Oh dear.
378
Oh dear.
379
Now, Disturges, your tea is on fire!
380
Boy, it's a good thing we did this trial run.
381
No kidding.
382
Ooh, it's chilly out.
383
Now, Kavanaugh is a Yankee.
384
She may love football, and she may love God, but she was born in Scarsdale.
385
That's in New York.
386
There's more.
387
My opponent didn't move to Texas until she was seven years old.
388
In fact, in her bedroom, there is a pennant for the New York Yankees.
389
While I may not be a fan of organized religion or sports, I promise if you vote for me, I'll do my best to get new science equipment for our school.
390
Oh.
391
Don't mess with Texas!
392
Tell her!
393
Tell her!
394
Tell her!
395
Tell her!
396
Tell her!
397
Tell her!
398
Tell her!
399
Tell her!
400
Tell her!
401
Tell her!
402
What do you want?
403
Grab your stuff.
404
Your mama wants you home.
405
Yeah?
406
Well, when she wants me to come home, she can call me.
407
Damn it, Veronica.
408
I'm in no mood.
409
What's going on?
410
I'm taking her home.
411
She's not going anywhere with you.
412
What'd you say?
413
Clint, stop!
414
You mind putting down my kid?
415
He's just playing around.
416
This is my mom's boyfriend, Clint.
417
Hello, Clint.
418
What can we do for you?
419
I'm here to pick up Veronica.
420
Come on.
421
You wanna go with this man?
422
No, sir.
423
You heard her.
424
Thanks for stopping by.
425
You really wanna mess with me?
426
Sure.
427
Why not?
428
What's going on out there?
429
You might wanna call the police.
430
Why?
431
There's a bum sleeping on our front porch.
432
Why?
433
There's a bum sleeping on our front porch.
434
The Lord healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
435
Well, there you goeth.
436
Except I'm feeling kicked in the nethers right now, and he sure is taking his sweet time with the healing.
437
He takes sweet time about a lot of things.
438
Not that I'm complaining.
439
You know, his will, not mine, et cetera.
440
You know, one thing I can say is that having a happy marriage is hard work.
441
Oh, I know.
442
As the pastor, people come to me with relationship problems all the time.
443
Bet you hear some juicy ones, huh?
444
Juicy doesn't begin to describe it.
445
Give me a sample.
446
I can't.
447
Strict pastor flock confidentiality.
448
Sure, sure.
449
Mary doesn't tell you things about us, does she?
450
I'm not at liberty to say.
451
But she does, doesn't she?
452
Yeah.
453
Yeah.
454
You'll be amazed to know that the Nobel Prize, while being the most prestigious award in science, is not generally celebrated in this country.
455
No parades, no fireworks.
456
Which is why I thought having a breakfast celebration was not only appropriate, but long overdue.
457
You may have noticed that I went with Cheerios and believe me, it was a decision that I came to after careful consideration.
458
There were birds on the Fruit Loops, Cocoa Puffs, and Corn Flakes, so they were out.
459
And leprechauns and elves are magical creatures that would be a slap in the face to the scientific community.
460
Anyway, the festivities begin at 4.30 a.m.
461
You're most welcome to come, as are you unhappy, bad boy.
462
What the hell is this?
463
The TV's asked me for some kind of code.
464
Yeah, that's the parental control lock.
465
So how do I take it out?
466
You don't.
467
This is my cable that I bought with my money.
468
You gotta be kidding me.
469
Here's an idea.
470
How about you go read a book?
471
Oh, this isn't over, little man.
472
Got my own shot!
473
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.
