Creando lección...
1
You have me at a disadvantage, Mr. Tennyson.
2
In a rather compromising situation, you forced me into a position of rather distasteful candor.
3
The truth is I am a fraud.
4
I haven't any money.
5
If I offered you $1,000, then $5,000, I would have had to go out into the street to beg even that amount,
6
let alone a half a million dollars.
7
It's true that I have pride, bearing, taste, exceptional breeding.
8
But I lost most of my money some years ago.
9
Why?
10
Now you have forced me to uncover the situation.
11
Proving, Mr. Tenison, proving that of the two of us.. you are by far the more substantial.
12
I will naturally resign.
13
I will not ask you to suffer my presence any longer.
14
Tenison, you can talk.
15
Your time's up.
16
You can talk, gurgle, sing, twirl, anything you want.
17
What's he writing?
18
What is he doing?
19
Why doesn't he talk?
20
What does it say, Archie?
21
What did he write?
22
Why didn't he say something?
23
I knew I would not be able to keep my part of the bargain.
24
so one year ago i had the nerves to my vocal cord severed
25
valley stop it stop talking about my father can't any of
26
you understand i loved him i cared about him he was good
27
and he was kind and he cared about me not what i wore not the way i looked but what I thought, what I felt.
28
And what's more important, he cared about himself and his dignity as a human being.
29
Valerie, he didn't die in the Ganymede incident.
30
My father killed himself because when they took away his identity, he had no reason to go on living.
31
I just don't understand you, Marilyn.
32
Valerie, can't you feel anything?
33
Well, of course, silly.
34
I feel good.
35
I always feel good.
36
Life is pretty.
37
Life is fun.
38
I am all and all is one.
39
You can't understand, can you?
40
What?
41
Oh, they can't understand!
42
They can't understand!
43
They can't understand!
44
I'm sorry.
45
Come in,
46
my dear.
47
We've been expecting you.
48
Sooner or later, everyone wants to be beautiful.
49
Where's your number?
50
She's chosen number eight.
51
Excellent.
52
Excellent.
53
I just love your suit, Val.
54
Lana, Val, you're just in time.
55
Just in time.
56
It's all over, Doctor?
57
All over.
58
Is she all right?
59
Yes, yes, she's fine.
60
You'll see for yourself.
61
I've been so worried these last few days not being able to talk to her.
62
and she seemed in such a state the last time.
63
Well, it's as I told you.
64
Occasionally a young person has difficulty adjusting to the idea.
65
But we've improved methods since the old days, and now it always turns out well in the end.
66
Never fails.
67
It's complete.
68
Mother!
69
Mother!
70
Val!
71
Look at me!
72
What do you think?
73
You're beautiful, Marilyn.
74
Just beautiful.
75
And the nicest part of all, Val, I look just like you.
76
Portrait of a young lady in love, with herself.
77
Improbable?
78
Perhaps.
79
But in an age of plastic surgery, bodybuilding, and an infinity of cosmetics, let us hesitate to say impossible.
80
These and others' strange blessings may be waiting in the future, which, after all, is the Twilight Zone.
81
Explain to him.
82
Tell him the reason I can't go out there.
83
You'll help me, won't you?
84
What are you doing?
85
Who are you talking to?
86
Mr. Belden is a policeman.
87
Please tell him.
88
I'm sorry, but if you're still here when the crew is here, But you're still here when the crew arrives.
89
I'll have to call a cop.
90
Why didn't you help me?
91
I thought you understood.
92
You...
93
He looked right at you and didn't see you.
94
Now.
95
Look in the mirror, Wanda.
96
You tricked me.
97
It was you all the time.
98
Yes.
99
I tricked you. But why?
100
The moment I let you inside, you could have taken me any time. But you were nice.
101
You made me trust you.
102
But I had to make you understand.
103
Am I really so bad?
104
Am I really so frightening?
105
You've talked to me?
106
You've confided in me?
107
Have I tried to hurt you?
108
It isn't me you're afraid of.
109
You understand me.
110
What you're afraid of is the unknown.
111
Don't.
112
Don't be afraid.
113
But I am afraid.
114
The running's over.
115
It's time to rest.
116
Give me your hand.
117
But I don't want to die.
118
Trust me.
119
No. No. Mother.
120
Give me your hand.
121
You see?
122
No shock.
123
No engulfment.
124
No tearing asunder.
125
What you feared would come like an explosion... is like a whisper.
126
What you thought was the end, not the beginning.
127
When will it happen? When will we go?
128
Go?
129
Look.
130
We have already begun.
131
No, honey, listen, please.
132
I've had it.
133
Understand?
134
I've had it.
135
I just can't take this another day, not another hour.
136
This is it right now.
137
I've got to get out of here.
138
Janie, will you help me, please?
139
Will you please help me?
140
Janie?
141
How are you tonight, Mr. Williams?
142
Stanford, next stop.
143
Stanford!
144
Next stop, Stanford!
145
Next stop, Stanford!
146
Stanford, next stop!
147
Stanford!
148
Next stop, Stanford.
149
Next stop, Stanford.
150
Next stop, Willoughby.
151
Willoughby.
152
Stop is Willoughby.
153
Willoughby?
154
Yes, sir.
155
Hi, Mr. Williams.
156
Hi, boys.
157
You catch some big ones today, huh?
158
I think tomorrow I'll join you.
159
Plenty of room and lots of fish.
160
I'm going to go to the next one.
161
I'm going to go to the next one.
162
I'm going to go to the next one.
163
I'm going to go to the next one.
164
I'm going to go to the next one.
165
Hi, Mr. Williams.
166
Welcome.
167
Thank you.
168
Thank you.
169
I'm glad to be here.
170
Just jumped off the train, did he?
171
Shouted something about Willoughby, then ran out to the platform, and that was the last I saw him.
172
Doctor says he must have died instantly.
173
They're gonna take him into town for an autopsy.
174
Funeral parlor there sent the ambulance.
175
Poor fella.
176
I'm going to go.
177
Please.
178
Please.
179
Look, I know you think I'm out of my mind or something, but I've been seeing this man.
180
He's been following me all the way across the country, and if you could only help me and just stay with me until I reach the coast, please don't go.
181
Please.
182
Excuse me, my shoes.
183
I'm going to go.
184
I'm going to go.
185
I'm going to go.
186
I'm going to go.
187
My shoes.
188
You listen, honey.
189
What you need is a good night's sleep.
190
You don't need a boyfriend.
191
Just a good night's sleep.
192
I'll see you around.
193
No!
194
Don't go!
195
Don't go!
196
I'll go to the next day.
197
Now I'm outside of a diner near Tucson.
198
There's a payphone outside, and I'm going to call home.
199
Back to New York.
200
Put in a call to my mother, so I can speak to someone familiar.
201
Someone I love.
202
Someone to bring back reality to me.
203
Just a voice.
204
A warm, familiar voice, so I won't lose my mind.
205
Operator, I'd like to make a call to my home in New York City.
206
My name is Nan Adams.
207
The telephone number is Trafalgar 41098.
208
Hello, Mother.
209
This is Mrs. Adams' residence.
210
Whom do you wish to speak to, please?
211
Who's this?
212
This is Mrs. Whitney.
213
Mrs. Whitney?
214
I don't know any Mrs. Whitney.
215
Is this Trafalgar 41098?
216
Yes, it is.
217
Where's my mother?
218
Where's Mrs. Adams?
219
She's still in the hospital.
220
A nervous breakdown.
221
A nervous breakdown?
222
But.. that's nothing the matter with my mother.
223
What do you mean, a nervous breakdown?
224
Well, it's all taken place since the death of her daughter.
225
The death of her daughter?
226
What do you mean, the death of her daughter?
227
Who's this?
228
Who's this?
229
What number is this?
230
It's all been very sudden.
231
Nan was killed just six days ago in an automobile accident in Pennsylvania.
232
A tire blew out and her car turned over.
233
Very odd.
234
The fear has left me now.
235
I'm numb.
236
I have no feeling.
237
It's as if someone had pulled out some kind of a plug in me and everything...
238
emotion, feeling, fear has drained out.
239
And now I'm a cold shell.
240
I'm conscious of things around me now.
241
The vast night of Arizona.
242
The stars that look down from the darkness.
243
Ahead of me stretch a thousand miles of empty mesa.
244
Mountains, prairies, desert.
245
Somewhere among them he's waiting for me.
246
Somewhere I'll find out who he is.
247
I'll find out.
248
I'll find out what he wants.
249
Though just now, for the first time,
250
John, looking out at the night, I think I know.
251
I think I know.
252
I believe you're going my way.
253
The End
254
Right here.
255
What a nutty little town. And how.
256
I still wonder how we got there.
257
Come on, honey.
258
Admit it.
259
You did have a few drinks at the party now, didn't you?
260
One or two.
261
Well, somewhere along the line, your drinks caught up with you.
262
And you got lost.
263
And we ended up here in Center Bowl.
264
I suppose it's the kind of screwball thing that I would do.
265
How do you put up with me?
266
I don't know.
267
I guess I just have a weakness for screwballs.
268
Well, you certainly have a good one.
269
Well, well, it wasn't all that bad back there now, was it?
270
Not a bit, no. As a matter of fact, I only jump a foot when somebody says boo.
271
Boo.
272
Oh!
273
Wait till I get back to the office.
274
I can see old Mr. Peabody now.
275
Frazier, we're a team here.
276
When one member of that team watches down, the whole organization suffers.
277
No. Now, well, uh, maybe it's not the same Centerville.
278
It's the same one.
279
There's so on the street.
280
Nothing moving.
281
Nothing real.
282
How did we get back there?
283
Going in a circle.
284
Come on.
285
Oh, no, I'm not going back.
286
Not back.
287
We're gonna get on that main road and keep right on walking.
288
Come on!
289
Wait.
290
Let's run. Could you?
291
I could gallop if we'd get us on up here any faster.
292
No. No. We'd better save our energy.
293
Might be a long road ahead.
294
We still have a few hours of daylight.
295
The sun will be up.
296
Ah!
297
Ah!
298
Ah!
299
Be careful with your pets, dear.
300
Daddy brought them all away from Earth.
301
Oh, can I play with them, Mommy?
302
After lunch, dear.
303
Right now, put them back.
304
Go on.
305
The moral of what you've just seen is clear.
306
If you drink, don't drive.
307
And if your wife has had a couple, she shouldn't drive either.
308
You might both just wake up with a wail of a headache in a deserted village in the Twilight Zone.
309
Oh, my God.
310
I'm going to go ahead and get some more of the stuff I've been doing.
311
I'm sorry.
312
I'm sorry.
313
Central Control!
314
Come in, Central Control! Do you read me?
315
Gresham is dead.
316
Repeat, Gresham is dead.
317
The ship's destroyed.
318
Gresham is dead.
319
Repeat, Gresham is dead.
320
The ship's destroyed.
321
Incredible race of giants here.
322
Race of giants.
323
No central control.
324
No counterattack.
325
Repeat, no counterattack.
326
Too much for us.
327
Too powerful.
328
Stay away.
329
Oh, oh!
330
Gresham and I!
331
We're finished!
332
Finished!
333
Stay away!
334
Stay away!
335
I'm sorry.
336
Didn't you go out on that bus?
337
I did indeed.
338
Oh, yes, I went out on that bus.
339
And you know something?
340
That bridge wasn't safe.
341
It collapsed.
342
The state police car, the bus, everything.
343
Ka-plunk, right into the river.
344
It was a terrible scene.
345
No one got out.
346
Except you.
347
Except me.
348
Lucky, I guess, huh?
349
Very lucky. But.. but... But what?
350
You're not even wet.
351
Wet?
352
What's wet?
353
What do you mean, what's wet?
354
You landed in the river, but your clothes are all dry.
355
Illusion, that's all.
356
Just an illusion.
357
Like that jukebox playing in the corner.
358
That's an illusion, too.
359
Or, uh, that telephone ringing.
360
That's an illusion.
361
Just a parlor trick.
362
What are you, some kind of magician? Who, me?
363
Oh, hardly.
364
Now, uh, before you, uh, faint dead away...
365
I ought to explain that the name isn't really Ross.
366
And, uh, I wasn't really going to Boston.
367
Oh, I was sent as a kind of advanced scout.
368
You know these, uh, cigarettes, do you call them?
369
They taste wonderful.
370
We haven't got a thing like this on Mars.
371
That's incidentally where I come from.
372
We're beginning to colonize.
373
My friends will be arriving very shortly.
374
I think they're going to like it here.
375
It's a lovely area. So...
376
So remote, so pleasant, so off the beaten track.
377
Just the perfect spot for a colony, don't you think, Mr. Haley?
378
While we're waiting, how about a little what you call music?
379
I don't mind.
380
I have to do a little waiting myself.
381
You see, Mr. Ross, my name isn't Haley.
382
And I do agree with you, this is an extraordinary place to colonize.
383
We folks on Venus had the same idea.
384
We got it several years ago.
385
And I think I really ought to tell you now that your friends are not coming.
386
They've been intercepted.
387
Oh, a colony is coming.
388
But it's from Venus.
389
And if you're still alive, I think you'll see how we differ.
390
And I agree with you about what they call music.
391
Why don't you play some?

¿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.
