Shadowing Practice: Peter has surprise for Himself - Learn English Speaking with Video

Oh, Peter, you selling your anvil?

Yeah, I've had a lot of good times with this thing.

Oh, a dollar!

Hey there, Chris.

Hey, Mr. Herbert.

Selling your old hand-me-downs?

Yep.

You got anything you used to wear in the summertime?

Just these old shorts.

Sweet Jesus.

You know, Brian, I'm looking forward to getting rid of some of this crap.

Crap.

Like this movie, Stymie Gruffin, The Untold Story.

It's not a movie at all, Brian.

Just three episodes back to back.

This thing is an insult.

Well, that might be overstating things a little.

It's a middle finger to the fans is what it is.

I tell you, Fox should be in bed.

Give you a dollar for this.

Sold.

Brian, where's Rupert?

I just left him here to watch my things.

Uh-oh.

What?

Uh, nothing.

I haven't seen him.

It's not like him to wander off.

Rupert!

Oh no!

What if he's been kidnapped?

Well, let's just calm down.

I've got to save him, Brian!

What if he's dead?

I don't think I can handle a funeral!

Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most...

...human.

Order!

Up!

Holy crap, Evil Knievel gloves.

I bet I could do a wheelie with these.

How much for the gloves?

Peter, those are yours.

Ten bucks.

Two.

Seven.

Four.

Five fifty.

Ten.

Sold!

Sucker!

I would've gone to 15 easy.

I am so stupid.

Awesome!

Peter, you can't drive a car over that.

You're gonna get hurt.

Lois, I don't come down to Burger King and tell you how to do your job.

Peter, I don't work at Burger King.

I don't work at Burger King.

I'm busy.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some death to defy.

Wow, this is just like what happened with Matthew Broderick, except no one's dead.

Hey, Joe.

Morning, Peter.

I'm here to revoke your driver's license.

What?

Why?

We got reckless driving, disturbing the peace, plus the driver of one of those other cars was a virgin whose hymen was busted by the airbag, so rape!

Okay, well, I guess you can take my license.

Of course, it's all the way up here.

Peter, knock it off.

Give it to me.

Give me the damn license.

Don't you want it?

This is in poor taste, Peter.

You're starting to piss me off.

You're starting to piss me off!

Oh, man, this sucks.

I got no license.

I can't go anywhere.

Well, this is your own fault, Peter.

And if you want my opinion, a little time away from the bar will do you some good.

I'll show her.

I'll just go to another bar.

We now return to Cheers.

Norm! And Peter!

Yay!

How's life in the fast lane, Mr. Peterson?

Griffin.

I can't find the on-ramp, Woody.

He was talking to me, Norm.

Quit stealing my punchlines, you fat drunk.

That show stopped being funny after Kirstie Alley ate Shelley Long.

Aw man, now I can't even watch TV.

What the hell am I gonna do all day?

It's alright, it's okay.

I don't need TV.

I'll just make my own sitcom in my head.

100

And I'll give it an upbeat 80's sitcom theme.

101

This time around, I'm staying at home, and things are gonna get better.

102

Settlin' in, lovin' my wife, but then I got that letter.

103

My black son, my black son, now each day my heart is gettin' bigger.

104

Don't even remember sleepin' with that lady, but I did.

105

My black son, he's comin' to stay.

106

My black son, he's makin' each day the best that he can.

107

Also, he's a ninja.

108

What the hell's wrong with you?

109

I'm so distraught over losing Rupert, I needed something to calm me down.

110

This is an entire bottle of NyQuil.

111

I know, and it's doing wonders.

112

Come here, puss.

113

Come here.

114

Come here, puss.

115

Here, puss.

116

What are you- what are you doing?

117

Calling the cat.

118

We don't have a cat, that's a throw pillow.

119

Uhhh...

120

Hahahaha...

121

Why have you brought me to the toy store, Brian?

122

I'm buying you another Rupert.

123

Hey, this one's cute, huh?

124

And if we buy it, they save a real gorilla in the wild.

125

And if we don't, they kill one.

126

Wow, these guys are playing hardball.

127

You can't just take some Korean-made velveteen primate and call it Rupert.

128

Now come on, this is all time we could be using to find Rupert's kidnappers.

129

Look, I, uh, I may as well come clean with you.

130

Rupert wasn't kidnapped.

131

I accidentally sold him at the yard sale.

132

You son of a bitch!

133

Come on, Stewie, I'm really sorry.

134

It was an accident.

135

Damn you, Brian!

136

How could you sell Rupert?

137

What you've done is more horrible than sex with Sharon Stone.

138

Get out of the fridge, Peter.

139

There is no Peter, only Zool.

140

I said get out of the fridge!

141

All right, all right.

142

Jeez, Lois, I'm just trying to amuse myself since I don't have a damn driver's license.

143

Look, Peter, it's getting a little annoying having you around the house all the time, so you'll be happy to know I got you your own personal driver.

144

My own driver?

145

Holy crap, that's awesome.

146

Where is he?

147

She's right here, Peter.

148

Meg?

149

Yeah, Dad.

150

I don't mind driving you around so you get your license back.

151

What?

152

Lois, this is the best you could do?

153

Well, it was either Meg or a talking monkey smoking a cigar, but I didn't think you'd like that.

154

I've already accepted another job.

155

Lois, you picked the opposite thing that I would like.

156

That's all right.

157

I would have driven you bananas.

158

Oh, oh, and he makes jokes.

159

Nice going, Lois.

160

Dad, are you ready?

161

What exactly are you trying to do?

162

It's very simple, Brian.

163

I've taken DNA from the dollar bill you were paid for Rupert.

164

Now to check that DNA against the federal database.

165

Oop, we have a match!

166

Stanford Cordray, 89 Spooner Street.

167

That's only a few blocks away.

168

Let's go!

169

Hello?

170

Hello?

171

It can't be!

172

This house is deserted!

173

He moved!

174

He's gone!

175

Rupert's gone!

176

Wait a minute, look!

177

The moving truck!

178

We're not too late!

179

Hey!

180

Hey!

181

Can I help you gentlemen?

182

Follow that truck!

183

Didn't you hear me?

184

I said follow that truck!

185

Oh, I heard you.

186

What I didn't hear was please.

187

Please follow the truck!

188

We're gaining on him!

189

I'm coming, Rupert!

190

I'm sorry, but I can go no further.

191

What?

192

Why not?

193

If I enter Connecticut, I'm entering every state that Connecticut's ever been with.

194

Good luck, brave travelers.

195

No!

196

We were so close!

197

I say, what a bit of serendipity!

198

Now we've got that fellow's address.

199

Let's see.

200

Aspen, Colorado.

201

Well, you can forget that.

202

We're not going all the way to Aspen.

203

What?

204

But I can't leave Rupert to perish.

205

the rest of my life I'll be as lonely as Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell after the rapture.

206

Look, Stewie, don't you think at some point you're gonna have to let Rupert go?

207

I mean, you are getting a little old to have a teddy bear.

208

Brian, I'm one.

209

Still?

210

What?

211

Look, I'm not going to Colorado.

212

I'm turning around and going home.

213

Fine, then.

214

I'll go by myself.

215

See you from the back of my milk carton.

216

Want that on your conscience, Brian?

217

Try explaining this to Lois.

218

You'll wind up in a dumpster with a bunch of slow, unadoptable greyhounds.

219

Don't joke about that.

220

That's like the Holocaust to us.

221

Yeah, well, when Greyhounds start running the New York Times and the World Bank, I'll be more inclined to believe you.

222

Now, are you coming or not?

223

Ah, fine.

224

Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?

225

Who sings that song?

226

James Taylor.

227

Yeah, let's keep it that way.

228

Ah, this sucks.

229

Can you believe I'm stuck with Meg driving me around?

230

Dad, it's just you and me in the car.

231

Yeah, don't remind me.

232

It's bad enough I got a suspended license.

233

I gotta ride around town with stinky McPoop pants.

234

I want apple juice!

235

Dad, you left your apple juice at home.

236

I want apple juice!

237

You wanna watch SpongeBob?

238

Yes.

239

With apple juice.

240

C-A-M-B-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G-S-O-N!

241

Heh heh heh heh...

242

Heh...

243

SpongeBob...

244

Heh...

245

Grrrr!

246

Grrrr!

247

Thanks for the ride, Bandit!

248

Good luck tapping some of that...

249

...hot...

250

...hot...

251

...Sally Field...

252

...tail.

253

Knock it off!

254

I don't like it any more than you do!

255

Where the hell are we?

256

Oh, this is history right here, Brian.

257

Gettysburg, Billy Yanks, the 20th Maine.

258

So many lives lost, all in pursuit of the ideal

259

that no man should be subjugated because of the colour of his skin.

260

These boys paid the ultimate price here.

261

For equality, for humanity.

262

You're welcome.

263

I'm sorry?

264

I'm just saying, make it worth our while, you know.

265

We wrote a pretty big check for you folks here, so, um...

266

You know, whatever, it's fine.

267

It's fine, doesn't matter.

268

Just, uh, I just hope you're making the best of what we gave you here.

269

I would say that given the events that preceded it, the couple hundred years or so, maybe we're about even.

270

Yeah, no, no, we gave more.

¿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.
