Creando lección...
1
Enjoy the show.
2
Wow.
3
Rachel.
4
Lewis, hi.
5
I'm at the ballet.
6
Are you, uh, an aficionado?
7
Since I was a girl, yes.
8
Oh, me too.
9
I mean, uh, a boy.
10
I-I-I got that.
11
So you, um, you here with someone?
12
You know, Donna was supposed to come with me, and then she canceled at the last minute.
13
Well, you talked to her.
14
How is she?
15
No, I haven't.
16
I keep calling, but she just won't.
17
Can't answer.
18
I know.
19
I tried.
20
You tried?
21
Yeah.
22
Are you here with someone?
23
I'm alone.
24
I feel it's a better way to experience the dance, you know?
25
Too distracting to have to talk about it.
26
I just want to...
27
To feel it.
28
No, I...
29
I know.
30
Yeah.
31
Yeah.
32
Um, uh, I should probably get going.
33
Wait.
34
I have an extra ticket, third row.
35
Yeah, I'd like to buy a seat to my right, just as a precaution.
36
Yeah, I would love to.
37
Great.
38
Yeah, okay.
39
Magnificent.
40
Superb.
41
Riveting.
42
Outrageous.
43
Insulting.
44
Disgusting.
45
Don't let it ruin your evening.
46
I mean, I won't.
47
No. I won't.
48
Yeah.
49
Hey, asshole.
50
Why don't you have a little more respect for the...
51
Oh, my God, it's you.
52
Yes.
53
It is I.
54
Sergei Vascov.
55
I profaned at you.
56
I am so sorry.
57
No, no, no, please.
58
You're defending the ballet.
59
I was defending the ballet.
60
Our rehearsal space.
61
Two ballerinas sprained their ankles.
62
Well, that's why Kanye didn't dance tonight.
63
Sadly, yes.
64
The Royal Hall is beautiful, magnificent, but behind the scenes, they look with a blind eye.
65
Well, if I may be so bold, please, it would be my honor to right this wrong for you.
66
Oh, I could not impose.
67
Thank you so much.
68
Tenant disputes are my forte.
69
Please, allow me to be your nutcracker and join in the battle against the Mouse King.
70
The Mouse King?
71
Well, in that instance, then, I would be in your death, Mr. White.
72
It's actually Mr. Griffin.
73
Wonderful, thank you.
74
I need a list of everything that's wrong with the rehearsal space.
75
For example, the creaky floorboards that are affecting certain dancers' attitudes.
76
Well, you shouldn't let that get them down.
77
Attitude is a pose.
78
Oh, yeah, like striking an attitude.
79
Whatever, I do that all the time.
80
Okay, I also need a list of the ballet company principles.
81
Okay, integrity, fidelity, patriotism.
82
Not that kind of principle.
83
Okay, we're done.
84
How am I supposed to know?
85
Rachel, you've just been drafted.
86
Oh, but she's not even a- Not what?
87
She's not what, Harold.
88
Mrs. Zane not only knows more about ballet than you do, she also knows more about law. But...
89
Zip it.
90
My mind's been racing ever since we met Sergei yesterday, so I've dictated a to-do list for you to handle.
91
I'm on it.
92
Okay.
93
I did.
94
You wouldn't tell me.
95
Exactly, because if you had, I wouldn't know one anymore.
96
Mr. Spector, I'm Cameron, your assistant. Where are my...
97
Messages.
98
Urgent to ignoreable, top to bottom.
99
I also took it upon myself to fan the folders on your desk on your desk in alphabetical order.
100
Wow, look at that, Harvey.
101
He fanned your folders in an order of some sort.
102
I also reorganized your filing system and redid your calendar.
103
Ha, that is not gonna be a problem at all because Harvey loves change.
104
It was a train wreck.
105
Yep.
106
He's in mourning over your predecessor, her filing system, her calendar.
107
It's probably best that nothing else is different than the other this morning, okay?
108
Uh-oh.
109
Mike?
110
Yeah.
111
You might want to take an early lunch.
112
Yeah.
113
Oh, wow.
114
Harold, can I get the rest of the files on the ballet case?
115
Sure.
116
Let me grab them for you.
117
Thank you.
118
What is it about ballet?
119
I just, I don't get it, you know?
120
There's no, um, words, there's no story, there's no action.
121
It's just all... and... and, like...
122
I don't...
123
Will you just tell me that Louis isn't behind me?
124
Louis isn't behind you?
125
Hi.
126
Hi.
127
Penelope Cruz, Zoe Saldana, Audrey Hepburn.
128
What do they all have in common?
129
They're all hot?
130
No, dumbass.
131
They all owe their success to ballet because it gives them discipline and grace,
132
it embodies our emotions, It's breathtaking in its beauty, and most importantly, it expresses what cannot be put into words.
133
You want to get ahead here, Harold?
134
Take ballet, because right now, the only thing that's breathtaking about you can easily be put into words.
135
Nothing.
136
Now, relevate your ass back to work.
137
Hey.
138
You steady enough to break the house?
139
Uh, counting drinks.
140
Don't most people count cards?
141
It's a thing.
142
Ah, right there.
143
See that?
144
Drink number 15.
145
Your client?
146
That's awful.
147
No, no, no, no. It's good.
148
We're even putting him in rehab to help nullify his contract.
149
Touching.
150
Harvey truly cares about his clients.
151
My idea.
152
Well, you're really coming along.
153
What are you doing here so late?
154
Working with Louis.
155
I'm sorry? With Louis.
156
Associate work.
157
He replaced Harold with me.
158
Good for you.
159
Looks like you're really coming along.
160
Thank you, Mike.
161
You were here all night?
162
You said you wanted everything by this morning.
163
So here's everything on the lease agreements and all of the financials.
164
Oh, no. Sergey waltzed me through the financials earlier.
165
Did you know that he danced with Nuriav?
166
I did.
167
Also, I found this.
168
Lead paint?
169
Okay, this is excellent.
170
You can use it.
171
Use it?
172
We are going to pas de deux all over their asses with it.
173
We?
174
Get out.
175
Lastly, section 5, page 30, states that the Royal Hall is responsible for all maintenance and repairs of the rehearsal space.
176
Aware of what the lease says, Mr. Litt, having grafted it myself?
177
Okay, well then how do you explain this?
178
The Royal Hall's knowing failure to fix the air conditioning system has created a toxic environment.
179
Lead-based paint.
180
See, your disregard for the safety of your charges takes from a tenant dispute to a criminal action.
181
The fact that I will happily bring to the attention of the district attorney unless repairs are made yesterday.
182
Then you'll be exposing the ballet itself.
183
Because the terms require they cover all repairs from a special fund they stopped paying into a year ago.
184
No, no, no. Payments have been going on every month then perhaps you should figure out where they've been going in.
185
Because it's not here.
186
I'm sorry, I don't understand our financial records.
187
Mr. Litt, we were willing to look the other way, but since you have come in here and threatened me, I'm gonna take legal action of my own.
188
We'll be filing for eviction.
189
It's time the ballet moves on.
190
You wanted to see me?
191
It was Sergei.
192
He lied to me.
193
The money went into his account.
194
There's no way that you could have...
195
What, known?
196
It's my job to know.
197
God, I never take anyone at their word.
198
You know I was eight years old when I saw him perform the Nutcracker?
199
Eight.
200
Everybody else was into sports and I was this rebel gliding down my own path.
201
He inspired me, that's why I'm so light on my feet.
202
I just can't do it to him.
203
I cannot do it to him, Rachel.
204
He is the ballet.
205
No. The ballet is bigger than Sergei.
206
It embodies our emotions.
207
It is breathtaking in its beauty.
208
And most importantly, it expresses what cannot be put into words.
209
Yes, but...
210
No buts.
211
The Louis I know wouldn't be defeated by something like this.
212
He is ruthless.
213
He is mean.
214
And if someone wronged him, he wouldn't hesitate to tear them apart limb from limb.
215
You ruined everything.
216
I took your help and now we're evicted.
217
I want you to...
218
Shut up, Sergei.
219
How dare you?
220
Me.
221
You.
222
You brought disgrace to my beloved ballet.
223
I am the ballet.
224
You were the ballet, and now you're done.
225
And the Royal Hall had been paid.
226
How?
227
I reorganized accounts, moved money.
228
I did what I do.
229
I showed them how they can pay for everything by eliminating your bloated salary.
230
Well, the board would never agree, so it's ridiculous.
231
Stop.
232
It's why they're here, Sergey.
233
This isn't about the eviction.
234
They know what you've done.
235
They want to see your face when they tell you you're fired.
236
But I'm giving you one chance to avoid scandal.
237
My leaving is a scandal.
238
Your leaving is a gift.
239
Take it before I change my mind.
240
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.
