1
He's not answering any questions.
2
That's okay, I have no questions.
3
That's right, I'm about to monologue, son.
4
Better make it quick.
5
You only got eight minutes.
6
All right, then let me paint you a picture.
7
I'm Phillip, a successful periodontist that's become addicted to diazepam,
8
a sedative I take because I'm junkie scum.
9
Also, for real, addiction is a disease I would be super empathetic if you hadn't murdered a man.
10
What is the point of this?
11
I'll get there.
12
So, one day I'm working late when my boss Robert surprises me.
13
He found out I was stealing meds.
14
Again, junkie scum.
15
Also, again, not your fault there's a major genetic component to addiction.
16
He says he's gonna file a police report.
17
I could lose my license.
18
We fight and something in me just snaps.
19
So I grab the first thing I can find and I hit him with it.
20
You still have no murder weapon.
21
I do now.
22
Here's a pic I found on Yelp of the surgical suite six months ago.
23
And here's a shot that our crime scene photographer took of the same room two weeks after the murder.
24
Notice any differences?
25
We're not answering that.
26
That's all right.
27
I can just tell you myself.
28
The Yelp shot has six of these heavy-looking glass awards from the Brooklyn Periodontics Society in the background.
29
Whereas this shot only has five.
30
What happened to number six?
31
You murdered Robert with him.
32
I did.
33
You lost all control and you bludgeoned him to death.
34
There must have been blood everywhere, but you got lucky.
35
You were in the surgical suite.
36
It can be sterilized.
37
You never would have gotten away with it in your carpeted office.
38
That's not what happened.
39
Don't say anything more, Philip.
40
And your office manager would have heard all of the screaming,
41
but she was at her grandson's play.
42
Lucky again.
43
You're wrong.
44
You put Robert's body into a wheelchair and shoved it in the elevator.
45
It's a miracle there wasn't blood everywhere.
46
That's not true.
47
Now you're in the garage with a corpse.
48
You panicked and left your phone in your office,
49
and you don't have your car keys,
50
but Robert's are in his pocket,
51
so you put him in his car and you take off.
52
No. You can't believe what you've done.
53
No. Philip.
54
You're flustered.
55
You have no GPS, so you just start driving.
56
No. Philip.
57
Next thing you know, you're in the Pine Barrens, and it hits you.
58
Your uncle's cabin.
59
He has a place there.
60
He has a place there.
61
You're the luckiest son of a bitch.
62
It wasn't luck.
63
Yes, it was.
64
You got lucky at every turn.
65
No. I knew exactly where I was driving.
66
I left my phone in the office on purpose.
67
I was in a surgical suite by design,
68
and I didn't use some glass of wood that any idiot would clearly see was missing.
69
I made a rod out of a special dental polymer,
70
killed him with it, then melted it back down.
71
It's already in a patient's mouth, son!
72
Oh, damn.
73
Oh, damn.
74
Oh, damn!
75
And that is 3-0-Damn.
76
Oh, damn!

¿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.
