1
Why is that on my desk?
2
Because the LSATs are a week from Saturday.
3
Great.
4
Go away.
5
I'm busy.
6
There are only four tests a year, which means if you miss this one, you're gonna have to wait another three months.
7
I can do math too, Good Will Hunting.
8
When did I say I was ready to retake the LSATs?
9
I thought that after our talk, you...
10
Nothing about our talk said I'm interested in bombing the test again.
11
You're not gonna bomb it again.
12
How do you know?
13
Because the first time you took it, you were missing one essential ingredient.
14
Me.
15
Not interested.
16
If I let you help me, will you leave me alone?
17
Mm-hmm.
18
Okay.
19
See you later.
20
Get excited.
21
Woo-hoo.
22
Hey, I forget.
23
Why are we looking into Gabby Stone again?
24
Oh, right.
25
Because I said she's innocent, and now you agree with me.
26
No, I don't agree with you that she's innocent.
27
But if there's even the slightest chance that someone else is involved, They're putting the whole company at risk and I can't have that.
28
Okay, so you disagree with what we agree about?
29
I'll agree with that.
30
I don't feel sorry for Gabby Stone at all. Because?
31
I found her.
32
I was her immediate supervisor.
33
I nurtured her.
34
She tries to cheat and gives a bad name.
35
How commonplace would you say cheating is here?
36
It's not.
37
It's not the kind of shop we run.
38
So when Miss Stone made the trade and the investment tripled in value, You weren't suspicious?
39
My job's not to worry about the traitors that are making money.
40
My job is to worry about the traders who aren't.
41
So how exactly does the tip sheet system work?
42
Our technical analysts predict stocks that are likely to have larger than expected volatility.
43
These predictions are handed out to our traders on a daily basis in the form of a tip sheet.
44
All these traders get the same tip sheet?
45
Exactly.
46
They're printed on a red paper so they can't be copied.
47
Every trader is responsible for returning their sheet at the end of the day so they can be shredded.
48
So no records exist?
49
We keep electronic copies.
50
I'll need to see those copies for the last year.
51
I thought you meant.
52
I'm assuming you own a computer?
53
One more thing.
54
I'll need to see a list of all the trades Morello assets made in the last year.
55
Well, I can't give you that.
56
Why not?
57
Tip sheets have expired, but our current positions, that's proprietary information.
58
I can't release that on just your sake, so...
59
That's not a request.
60
We need to protect the company.
61
And we're covered under attorney-client privilege.
62
And I'm telling you, I'm not giving you shit.
63
You think I don't know what attorney-client privilege is?
64
You know, you corporate lawyers look down your noses at us because we didn't go to Ivy League schools.
65
Just because I don't have a fancy degree doesn't mean you get to come into my house and order me around.
66
And you go wind to Morello, and I'll knock you on your ass at the pussy you are.
67
Well, Sam, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I've been working for your boss, Dean Morello, for a very long time.
68
And, um, let me tell you something.
69
You try to stonewall me, you'll be out on the street in less than a week.
70
As for the other stuff, do I think that I'm smarter than you?
71
You're damn right I do.
72
But if you think that means that I can't kick your ass up and down this floor, take a swing and see what happens.
73
I didn't think so. That was amazing.
74
He was like he was Mr. T and you were Rocky, but like not Rocky at the beginning when he's all scared of Mr. T, but at the end, when he's all like,
75
give it your best shot, you know?
76
Adrian!
77
Yes!
78
That's funny, but you might want to wipe that grin off your face.
79
What?
80
Why?
81
Because without those trades, we don't have shit, and your little girlfriend's gonna rot in jail.
82
By the way, you gotta work on your Stallone.
83
You need a lower register.
84
Eww.
85
That was an incredible Stallone.
86
I've been doing that since I was a kid.
87
You can't touch it.
88
Eww.
89
You got the food in your mouth.
90
No, I'd swallow it.
91
Eww.
92
There's food in your mouth.
93
Adrian.
94
That's disgusting.
95
Come on, you got this one.
96
It's A.
97
You know what, it's C.
98
Actually, it's D, it's definitely D.
99
Final answer?
100
Yes, D.
101
It's A.
102
Rachel, you gotta remember, they're asking why the argument is most vulnerable.
103
I can make the case that they're all vulnerable arguments.
104
You could, but your first instinct was A.
105
You gotta go with your gut.
106
Right.
107
So what if my gut can find the exception where A is wrong?
108
What am I supposed to do then?
109
You ignore it.
110
I can't.
111
That's easier said than done.
112
Look, the test isn't trying to trick you, Rachel.
113
But sometimes it is, Mike.
114
Well, you gotta let that go.
115
I can't.
116
Why not?
117
Because I don't want to get any questions wrong.
118
Okay.
119
I think we found your problem.
120
You're so afraid of getting fooled by a few trick questions
121
that you're letting it mess you up with all the other ones.
122
Look, Rachel, you want to get into Harvard, you need a 170, okay?
123
If you let a few of these trick questions go, you're gonna be fine.
124
But if you keep trying to be perfect and you're gonna overthink this whole thing, you're gonna end up with a 130.
125
Rachel, nobody gets all the trick questions.
126
What about you?
127
First grade.
128
They gave me an achievement test.
129
I scored in the 99th percentile, so they kept giving me achievement tests all the way up to the 8th grade level.
130
And I kept getting in the 99th percentile with every one of them.
131
What, you couldn't get the 100th?
132
There is no 100th.
133
Next question.
134
Come on.
135
Thank you.

  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: volatility /ˌvɑ.ləˈtɪl.ə.ti/, proprietary /pɹəˈpɹaɪ.ə.tə.ɹi/, ingredient /ɪnˈɡɹiːdi.ənt/, supervisor /ˈsupɚˌvaɪzɚ/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

¿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.
