Hi, I'm Greg.
2
May I take your order?
3
Hi, Greg.
4
I'm Bonnie, and this is my daughter, Christy.
5
Hi.
6
She and I haven't spoken in a couple of years, so this is kind of a big moment for us.
7
Oh, for God's sake.
8
What can you recommend for a mother and daughter who are reconnecting after a long, angry silence?
9
Um, pie?
10
Mom, please, just order.
11
Is the mint tea decaffeinated?
12
Yes.
13
Do you promise?
14
If I have caffeine after two, my sleep is ruined.
15
I promise.
16
Okay, Greg, but if I wake up in the middle of the night, I'm calling you.
17
Well, I'll give you my number.
18
Um, and for you, we have a lovely selection of local wines.
19
I'll have a bottle of each and a funnel.
20
She's kidding.
21
We're both in Alcoholics Anonymous.
22
Mom, it's Alcoholics Anonymous, not Alcoholics Tell Your Waiter.
23
Water is fine.
24
Here, take this knife away from me.
25
So, when were you going to tell me you quit drinking?
26
Well, I was afraid if I'd call you, I'd just start again.
27
Not that you care, but I have two years clean and sober myself.
28
You're right.
29
I don't care.
30
Well, regardless, it has really changed my life.
31
I have a steady job.
32
I exercise.
33
I'm in a book club.
34
I have become the kind of woman I've always hated.
35
It is nice to see you wearing underwear.
36
And not on your head.
37
Here we go.
38
Oh, Greg, honey, can I trouble you for some water without ice?
39
Ice isn't good for my digestive system.
40
Yeah, of course.
41
Really?
42
Ice?
43
I think your digestive system has seen worse than ice.
44
Excuse me?
45
Mom, I've watched you lick cocaine crumbs out of a shag carpet.
46
It's not a sin to be thrifty, dear.
47
Okay, here we go.
48
Now, I hope that you're being nice to your mother.
49
Go away, Greg.
50
Right.
51
Whoa, whoa.
52
You know, just because you're sober doesn't mean you can't take a Xanax.
53
Actually, Mom, it sort of does.
54
Really?
55
Maybe I don't have two years.
56
And I don't need a Xanax.
57
I'm doing great.
58
Well, that's funny, because your daughter says you're hanging on by your fingernails and sleeping with your boss.
59
Wait, when do you talk to Violet?
60
We talk all the time.
61
And we're Facebook friends.
62
I don't want her talking to you.
63
Well, she has to talk to somebody.
64
She's sexually active, drinking, smoking grass.
65
Sound familiar?
66
You're making this about me?
67
No, it's okay.
68
I have come to understand that you were the best daughter you could be.
69
My job is to forgive you, which I do.
70
Oh, my God.
71
You forgive me?
72
I've come a long way.
73
Excuse me, but if anybody needs to be forgiven, it's you, and I don't, and I never will.
74
There's hardly a day I can remember that I didn't come home to an empty house.
75
Oh, don't be so dramatic.
76
While other mothers were cooking dinner, you were cooking meth.
77
Otherwise known as working.
78
I don't want you in my life.
79
And while you're at it, stay away from my daughter.
80
She may need a better role model than me, but it's certainly not you. Is, uh, everything okay?
81
My daughter doesn't get me.
82
Oh, I'm sorry.
83
What time do you get off work?
84
I could use a lap to cry on.
85
It's not the first time I've done a pregnancy test, Mom.
86
Really?
87
And why'd you make me read all those instructions?
88
Not important?
89
Let her rip.
90
Can I have some privacy, please?
91
Sure.
92
Violet, I just want you to know that if it turns out you are pregnant, I will support you no matter what you decide to do.
93
Thank you.
94
What do you think you're going to do?
95
What?
96
You know, which way are you leaning?
97
I don't know.
98
Get out.
99
Okay, sorry.
100
You know, when I found out I was pregnant with you, home pregnancy tests took about 20 minutes.
101
Uh-huh.
102
Now it's two minutes.
103
That's progress.
104
Yay, science.
105
I guess.
106
I mean, it's good news for you because the nervous waiting time is less.
107
Mom, I can't do this if you're talking to me.
108
right sure p-shy runs in the family oh sorry oh good girl
109
hello hi what's the word she's doing the test now we'll know in a couple minutes wow gulp
110
yeah when i was pregnant with you those home kits took like two hours Really?
111
It's a long wait in a gas station bathroom.
112
Bonnie, is that you?
113
Yeah, honey.
114
Can you come in? Of course.
115
Why does your grandmother get to go in and I don't?
116
Because she won't lecture me.
117
I don't lecture.
118
I share my experiences in the hope that you'll have a better life than I had.
119
And frankly, I think you could be a little more grateful.
120
Good, I'm coming in.
121
What's it say?
122
What's it say?
123
Nothing yet.
124
Oh, God, oh, God.
125
I know, it's so exciting.
126
I'm glad you're excited.
127
I'm scared to death.
128
Hey, don't you worry.
129
I'm gonna be here for you whenever you need me, 24-7.
130
Thanks, Bonnie.
131
I'm gonna be here for you, too.
132
That's your job, Mom.
133
Oh, here we go, showtime.
134
Okay.
135
Oh.
136
You doing all right?
137
I don't know.
138
Excuse me.
139
I can't believe this.
140
Hey, you have to take some of the responsibility for this pregnancy.
141
Are you kidding?
142
We had the talk.
143
I told her about abstinence, condoms, everything.
144
Did you mention oral sex as a workaround?
145
Oh, my God, it is my fault.
146
Oh, hi.
147
Is Christy here?
148
Who might be asking?
149
Um, I work with her.
150
Oh, you must be her boss.
151
I am.
152
You leave your wife yet?
153
No. Then I have no choice but to inform you that she is out on a date with a wealthy, educated, eligible bachelor who's got a cannon between his legs.
154
Your mom's not a fan.
155
By focusing on the positive, I attract only the best to my life.
156
You're focusing on the positive.
157
Oh, my God! Are you okay?
158
I think you brought my foot.
159
It made me my nose.
160
Sorry, sorry.
161
Okay, don't move.
162
I'm going to call an ambulance.
163
No, wait!
164
My wife can't know all my fear.
165
Okay, well, um, let's get you in the car and I'll take you to the emergency room Oh,
166
oh, careful Careful It, uh, hurts pretty bad, huh?
167
It's awful Well, then, this probably isn't a great time to say this but,
168
um, I don't think we should see each other anymore Wait, you're breaking up with me?
169
Why?
170
Well, I...
171
I found out something about myself tonight.
172
Um, I deserve to be in a relationship with a man who I can hit with my car and,
173
you know, not feel like I did something wrong.
174
Okay.
175
Uh, I'm not sure what that means, but...
176
What?
177
What?
178
There's a fork in my ass.
179
Knocky-knocky.
180
Hi.
181
How's your little boss?
182
I broke his leg and his nose.
183
Admit it.
184
It felt pretty good, didn't it?
185
No. I don't know.
186
A little bit.
187
I got you a gift.
188
Thanks.
189
What's the occasion?
190
Well, I know you don't feel ready to date for a while.
191
I thought this might put a little spring in your step.
192
What is it?
193
Thank you You mind finishing the dishes?
194
My pleasure I am such a good mother God,
195
I hate this part Just be cool I can barely walk with all the crap you've taped to my thighs.
196
There's another place to hide it, but you're too dainty.
197
I told you that's exit only.
198
Next, please.
199
No. Welcome back to the United States.
200
Is your trip for business or pleasure?
201
Pleasure.
202
Business.
203
The point is we're thrilled to be back.
204
God bless America, home of our ancestors And the birthplace of jazz Okay,
205

206

208
Christine How could you?
209
What?
210
This is not my bag, and I've never seen that before.
211
Oh, sweetheart, did prison teach you nothing?
212
I've never been to prison.
213
Look, I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but check her thighs.
214
Their street value is $80,000.
215
Mom!
216
What?
217
You sold me out to the feds.
218
Oh, honey.
219
Are you drinking again?
220
No, I just dreamt that you and I were smuggling drugs from Mexico, and when it went bad, you made me take the fall.
221
Oh, how awful.
222
It is.
223
You know, when you were a little girl and had a bad dream, I let you crawl in bed with me until you felt safe.
224
You did?
225
I did But now you're a fully grown crazy person So I'm just gonna hang up Mom?
226
Mom?
227
Of all the things to yell at my mother for I had to pick the one that didn't happen
228
Hi, Mom.
229
Hello.
230
Thanks for meeting me.
231
Oh, sure.
232
Um, listen, I want to apologize for yelling at you the other day.
233
Mm-hmm.
234
That's it?
235
That's all you're gonna say?
236
Mm-hmm.
237
Mm-hmm.
238
Anyway, I feel terrible.
239
Just terrible?
240
What do you mean?
241
Well, I would think you'd feel ashamed as well.
242
Okay, ashamed.
243
Maybe a little dopey.
244
Dopey, Doc, and Sneezy.
245
Are we good?
246
I came in here good.
247
Whatever.
248
Let's just eat.
249
Lunch is on me.
250
It's my way of showing I'm letting go of my anger.
251
That's very generous of you.
252
Of course, if I were flush with cash, I might buy my pregnant daughter new jeans, but you're doing some tough love thing.
253
I get it.
254
You talked to Violet?
255
She tweeted it.
256
And did you defend me?
257
Nope, I just retweeted and moved on.
258
Right there.
259
That's where my dream comes from.
260
You never, ever have my back.
261
You always put your needs ahead of mine.
262
Oh, I certainly hope the salmon is more satisfying than your apology.
263
Don't growl, sweetheart.
264
It's not for your lady night.
265
That's my side.
266
I'm a guest.
267
I don't care.
268
Move over.
269
How's the train wreck?
270
I don't know.
271
Point is, we're doing a good deed.
272
Assuming she doesn't melt down and try to kill us in our sleep.
273
Why would you say that?
274
I was kidding.
275
Okay.
276
Good night.
277
Good night.
278
Good night.
279
You know, if we were roomies, we could do this every night.
280
Uh-huh.
281
Of course, if I moved in, I'd want to shooj up the place a little.
282
What's wrong with it?
283
Eh, it likes shooj.
284
It's shoojless.
285
Well, I think it's homey.
286
Yeah, you also think you can catch a man with sweatpants.
287
Christy?
288
Ugh.
289
Come on in.
290
Sorry to bother you.
291
Oh, no worries.
292
What's up?
293
I'm not going to be able to sleep until I tell somebody what's really going on.
294
Okay.
295
I saw a lesbo porn movie start just like this.
296
I kind of got bigger problems than I let on.
297
Financial problems.
298
Ugh.
299
No shame in that.
300
My car just broke down.
301
I can't afford to fix it.
302
And I have credit card debt like you wouldn't believe.
303
Really?
304
How much?
305
$19,000.
306
You are so cute.
307
Try $3.5 million.
308
What?
309
You know how I told you people trust me with their money?
310
Yeah.
311
They shouldn't.
312
I embezzled from my clients.
313
Why?
314
What kind of question is that?
315
What's the better question?
316
How?
317
Gotta be good at math and have a face people trust.
318
And the dream dies.
319
Anyway, the real reason I came here tonight was I think the police might be waiting for me at my house.
320
It's all gonna be okay.
321
How can you say that?
322
Oh, not for you.
323
I was kind of saying it to myself.
324
What?
325
I thought I was in trouble, but listening to you, I realized I have great problems.
326
I love them.
327
I love my problems.
328
You don't?
329
Yeah, I'm sorry.
330
Tonight's about you.
331
I just got excited.
332
Go on.
333
I don't know what I'm going to do.
334
Well, whatever it is, you don't have to go through it alone.
335
Thank you.
336
Regina, wait.
337
Come on.
338
Snuggle in.
339
Maybe I will.
340
Isn't this a surprise?
341
Hi, Mom.
342
You know Marjorie from the meeting?
343
Oh, I do.
344
Marjorie?
345
Bonnie.
346
Would you like to join us?
347
I'd like to join you, but I'll make the best of it.
348
Marjorie has been giving me some really good relationship advice.
349
Is that so?
350
Why wouldn't you come to your own mother for that?
351
The same reason I don't come to you for advice about beekeeping.
352
You know nothing about it.
353
For the record, I've had hundreds of successful relationships with men.
354
The fact that you don't know what you just said is horrifying.
355
What did I say?
356
You know, these things aren't always judged on quantity.
357
I was with one wonderful man for 30 years.
358
And then he left you.
359
He died.
360
Spin it however you want.
361
Marjorie's just trying to help me.
362
Oh, I get it.
363
You think she's wise because she's old.
364
so what's your big advice well i told your daughter who came to me instead of you that
365
if she really wants something meaningful with this guy she shouldn't
366
have sex with him for at least three months i'm sorry that's not a joke
367
No. Oh, come on.
368
What if she waits three months and then finds out he can't deliver the goods?
369
True intimacy doesn't depend on delivering the goods.
370
Oh, Marjorie, you make me sad.
371
Well, what does this guy say?
372
Is he okay with taking it slow?
373
He thinks it's a great idea.
374
Flag on the play.
375
What?
376
Real men don't go slow.
377
He's either lying, gay, or he's packing a gherkin.
378
It's a little pickle.
379
I know what it is!
380
Just do yourself a favor.
381
If you're going to wait, at least make sure there's something worth waiting for.
382
Oh, what's she supposed to do?
383
Ask him to whip it out?
384
No. Show a little class, Marjorie. Do a drive-by.
385
A drive-by?
386
A drive-by.
387
Or cruise by the general vicinity.
388
send your knee on a fact-finding mission.
389
Oh, God. Do you believe her?
390
It's actually not bad advice.
391
My late husband loved me, but, wow, there was not a lot to work with.
392
Twerking the kerking.
393
I just want to thank both of you for coming over so we can discuss the, uh...
394
Child conceived in sin?
395
You're right.
396
I am the cool parent.
397
Luke, did you learn nothing from your father's Bible class?
398
I'm sorry, what?
399
Bible class?
400
Yes.
401
Nathan is the head pastor at the Baptist Church in Santa Rosa.
402
Oh, that's just hilarious.
403
Right?
404
I'm so sorry, Viola.
405
All right, I just want to say that we've all really come to love your son, and I know that my daughter is crazy about him, so I'm sure there's a happy ending in here somewhere.
406
If Viola just gave him a happy ending, we...
407
Mom!
408
I'm sorry.
409
I'm about a quart low on the estrogen.
410
You know what I'm talking about, right?
411
Look, here's what's going to happen.
412
All of this nonsense about these two kids getting married after high school is just that.
413
Nonsense.
414
It is not going to happen.
415
Now, as far as the child is concerned, Luke will provide financial support if, in fact, it turns out to be his.
416
What?
417
Violet, I got this.
418
What?
419
We don't know for sure that our son is the only boy your little temptress has been with.
420
Okay, buddy.
421
Let's get something clear.
422
See, I got this.
423
Here's all you need to know about this family.
424
With every generation, we are getting better.
425
That's right.
426
So, I may have been a drunken slut.
427
She was.
428
And my daughter may have been a drunken slut.
429
Hang on a second.
430
What?
431
Never mind.
432
Go on.
433
But my granddaughter, this tender angel, she was pure as the driven snow until she smoked your son's weed,
434
drank his tequila, and then made passionate love with him for about two minutes.
435
Am I telling it right, honey?
436
Yeah, sort of.
437
So don't you take the high road with us, Pastor.
438
I know your type.
439
I have bedded my share of clergy.
440
Mary, Luke, let's go.
441
No. I love Violet, and I'm gonna stick by her for as long as she'll have me.
442
Get in the car.
443
I'll call you later.
444
Hey, Pastor?
445
I just want you to know, we're gonna raise the baby Jewish. And we're not Jews.
446
Shalom, bitch!
447
Hi, I'm Bonnie.
448
I'm an alcoholic.
449
Hi, Bonnie.
450
I've been sober for...
451
Oh, man, where's my watch?
452
Well, not long.
453
Anyway, I started drinking when I was 15, 16 years old.
454
In the foster care system, getting bounced around from house to house.
455
Teenage kids aren't real desirable.
456
Especially when they steal your kitchen appliances.
457
I met this really cool guy.
458
Sold him a microwave at a flea market.
459
We fell in love and ran off together.
460
Had Christy, and he ran off alone. And I... And, uh...
461
I tried to be a good single mom, but as we all know,
462
I didn't exactly nail it. But I tried. And I'm still trying.
463
but then this morning when I saw the look of disappointment on Christy's face it just
464
reminded me of all the times that I let her down
465
I gotta fix this I gotta fix this right now wait
466
where are you going I gotta apologize to my baby Oh, yeah.
467
Oh, damn.
468
She took my key. Are we done?
469
Can I go home?
470
Oh, my halibut's not ready yet?
471
Chef Rudy, what is going on?
472
People are waiting 45 minutes for their entrees.
473
It's cool.
474
Is everyone in my life getting loaded?
475
What the hell is going on in here?
476
Ask Snoop Dogg and Dre.
477
You're smoking dope?
478
Yeah.
479
You want a hit?
480
Sure.
481
Your halibut will be up in a minute.
482
I brought you another glass of wine just for the halibut.
483
There's my baby.
484
Oh, my God.
485
What are you doing here?
486
I have been a terrible mother to you.
487
Yeah, the worst.
488
Why don't we talk about it at home?
489
You need to know that I will never let you down again.
490
I got it.
491
Message received.
492
I have to get back to work.
493
No, you have worked enough.
494
Let me lighten your load.
495
It's not a load, Mom.
496
It's...
497
Hi, I'm Bonnie.
498
I'll be your server.
499
Why, you folks don't have any bread.
500
Why don't I go get you some?
501
Mom?
502
Mom!
503
Oh!
504
Son of a bitch!
505
This is good weed.
506
I couldn't find any bread, so I brought you another candle.
507
Come on, Bonnie.
508
Time to go home.
509
I can't.
510
I'm working.
511
Mom, please.
512
Let's dance.
513
You're gonna do fine in jail.
514
9.30.
515
9.30!
516
Roscoe!
517
Violet!
518
Oh, we're late!
519
Come on!
520
You guys, wake up!
521
Wake up!
522
We're late!
523
Come on!
524
Roscoe!
525
Violet!
526
Let's go!
527
Move!
528
Move!
529
Move!
530
Can I get a little help here?
531
I already drove Roscoe to school.
532
Croissant?
533
I don't have time for a croissant.
534
God, Mom, what are you thinking?
535
Wait.
536
What?
537
I took him to school so you could sleep in.
538
Oh, did he eat?
539
Yep, made him oatmeal.
540
He doesn't like oatmeal.
541
He likes mine.
542
What about his homework?
543
Did you check that he did it?
544
Because he'll lie right to your face.
545
Big smile, cross my heart, hope to die.
546
It's creepy.
547
I checked his homework, and don't worry, I've already made inquiries about a tutor.
548
By the way, I took your car.
549
Oh, Mom, I barely have enough gas in there to get to work.
550
That's why I took it.
551
I filled it up, got it washed, the oil light was on.
552
Ugh, it's always on.
553
Actually, it goes off when you put oil in it.
554
Now sit down.
555
I got you a latte at Starbucks.
556
Double shot, not fat?
557
Yep.
558
Thanks.
559
Oh, damn, Violet had a doctor's appointment this morning.
560
I know.
561
I made sure Luke got her there on time.
562
She's gained three pounds.
563
The baby's the size of an heirloom tomato.
564
Okay.
565
Good.
566
Good.
567
So let me understand this.
568
You got up at, like, dawn.
569
Wash, dressed, and fed Roscoe.
570
Took him to school, serviced my car, made sure my daughter got to the obstetrician, and even managed to get me a latte and a croissant?
571
It's the least I could do to pay back your generosity.
572
Enjoy.
573
I'm gonna get started on the laundry.
574
Hmm.
575
Why is this pissing me off?

¿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.
