1
Oh, I'm so sorry sir, I didn't see...
2
David?
3
Benny Rappapaport?
4
Is that you?
5
Yeah, hey!
6
Pfft!
7
Man, why are you wearing this clown suit?
8
Well, I work here.
9
Life's funny, ain't it?
10
We're best friends in school and now, look at me.
11
A successful entrepreneur.
12
And look at you.
13
Mopping floors.
14
Well, I'm hoping of becoming a manager soon.
15
Sure.
16
And I'm gonna land on the moon.
17
Man, why did you call me?
18
I would have given you a decent job, lent you money, whatever.
19
Well, funny you should say this,
20
because I actually called you a couple of times and...
21
What are you doing?
22
post photo with you, our old buddies are gonna be in shock.
23
No, I would rather you didn't, okay?
24
Yeah.
25
Come on.
26
Then you loser.
27
Come on, no, no, please delete it.
28
Come on, come on, please.
29
You ever heard of karma?
30
Yeah, karma is a bitch and if you don't know it,
31
you better ask somebody.
32
Well, I'm hungry.
33
You'll see.
34
And what's your decision?
35
I absolutely agree with you.
36
You deserve a six-figure contract.
37
And I'm prepared to give it to you.
38
That would be an honor for me, sir.
39
But first, can you explain this to me?
40
Loser Benny getting more pathetic every year.
41
Is that how you treat service staff?
42
Oh, it's not true at all.
43
Because he is my best friend.
44
A janitor from a fast food joint.
45
Yes!
46
I don't judge people by their profession.
47
I've been friends with Benny from high school.
48
I'm just joking around with him.
49
But he doesn't mind.
50
We're just having a laugh.
51
Interesting.
52
Let's go there.
53
And you can introduce me to your best friend, Betty.
54
Oh no, oh no. Why?
55
Because I can't tolerate liars.
56
And I can smell them a mile off.
57
Plus, I'm hungry!
58
Hey, hey, cover for me.
59
What?
60
Tell him that you're my best friend.
61
Dude, we haven't spoken since high school.
62
Who cares?
63
Just play along.
64
This guy is a big investor.
65
Ah.
66
So first I'm stupid Benny,
67
and now you need me to cover for you, huh?
68
Do you want me to delete that photo?
69
Look, look, I'm already deleting it.
70
OK, OK.
71
Look at this.
72
2000. Whole month salary.
73
David, take it.
74
Hello!
75
You must be David's friend, right?
76
Um...
77
Yes, that's me.
78
Excuse me, please, take a seat.
79
Thank you.
80
Join us, please.
81
Uh...
82
Yeah, I could for a second.
83
So, tell me, is it tough being friends when you're so...
84
Pardon me, so different?
85
No. We're always ready to help each other.
86
For example.
87
Thank you.
88
So, so, my mom fell very ill some time ago.
89
Yeah.
90
And the treatment is very expensive.
91
But David here, he helped us out enormously with the money.
92
It's generous of you, David.
93
Well, after that, with all the expenses,
94
the bank wanted a foreclosure on my house.
95
But David here, he stepped in and he helped me negotiate the deal with the bank.
96
Very commendable.
97
Thank you.
98
Well, you know, with all that happened,
99
took a toll on me and I ended up with a nasty case of depression.
100
But you can't be depressed for too long with a friend like David.
101
Unbelievable.
102
Yeah.
103
David, I would be happy to work with a person who is noble and conscientious.
104
Sir, thank you very much.
105
But it's not you.
106
I am not giving you a contract.
107
And I will make sure that no one else in this business will either.
108
What?
109
But why?
110
Only half of what he said was the truth.
111
And I already warned you,
112
I do not tolerate liars.
113
Best of luck with you, Benny.
114
No. No, no. We could've come up with something better.
115
You ruined my life, idiot!
116
What?
117
God.
118
I'm a bankrupt now.
119
Well, I'm sorry.
120
I tried my best.
121
What half-a-life did he tell about?
122
My mom really got sick.
123
And it was really expensive.
124
But I didn't get all the money for the treatment.
125
That was when I was trying to call you.
126
But you never picked up.
127
And the bank, oh, they really wanted a foreclosure on my house all right.
128
Sure enough, they got it.
129
Didn't have anybody to negotiate on my behalf.
130
And sure enough, this ended up in depression.
131
But I was alone, without any good friend to help me out.
132
Anyway, I'll be fine.
133
With all the honest work I'm putting my life back together.
134
Oh, of course.
135
And this, I feel you might need it more than I.
136
Keep it.
137
Here, let me help you, sir.
138
There, there you go.
139
David?
140
Benny.
141
What happened?
142
Yeah.
143
That's funny, ain't it?
144
After that fiasco, everything went downhill.
145
Oh my, why didn't you say something?
146
I could have done something for you.
147
I thought after everything that happened,
148
you wouldn't want to help me.
149
Oh, come on, don't be ridiculous.
150
Of course I would like to help you.
151
I could offer you a job.
152
Not much, but for the very least,
153
you could afford a place to stay and it's honest work.
154
Thank you, Benny.
155
I'm sorry for everything.
156
Come on, don't mention it.
157
Can you start tomorrow?
158
Yes.
159
Stephanie?
160
Could you please draw up all the documentation and issue all the inventory and uniforms for the gentleman?
161
Yes, sir.
162
Okay.
163
So, see you tomorrow then.
164
Oh, um, tomorrow I'm not gonna be here.
165
You quitting?
166
No. I'm a original manager now.
167
I'm gonna be at the other branch.
168
That's for you.
169
Thank you.
170
Thank you.
171
Thank you.

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta

El hablante usa 45 contracciones y formas reducidas, como I'm, didn't, don't. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.

  • Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: foreclosure /fɔːɹˈkləʊʒ.əɹ/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/, conscientious /ˌkɑn.ʃiˈɛn.ʃəs/, documentation /ˌdɑkjəmɛnˈteɪʃən/, profession /pɹəˈfɛʃ.ən/
  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/, commendable /kəˈmɛndəbəl/, conscientious /ˌkɑn.ʃiˈɛn.ʃəs/, documentation /ˌdɑkjəmɛnˈteɪʃən/, entrepreneur /ˌɑn.tɹə.pɹəˈnɝ/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: investor /ɪnˈvɛs.tə(ɹ)/, unbelievable /ˌʌnbɪˈliːvəbl̩/, inventory /ˈɪn.vən.tɹi/
  • /dʒ/ — no es la “y” ni la “ch”: janitor /ˈd͡ʒænɪtɚ/, joking /ˈd͡ʒoʊkɪŋ/, gentleman /ˈd͡ʒɛn.təl.mən/, generous /ˈd͡ʒɛn(ə)ɹəs/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo

  1. Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
  2. Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
  3. Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como foreclosure, tolerate, karma.

¿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.
