I see we're making our visits a weekly ritual.
3
Only so we can have these moments together.
4
Should I, uh, hit the lights?
5
Oh, very clever kangaroo boy.
6
It says here you exposed yourself in the cafeteria.
7
I was joking with the lunch lady.
8
It was a bratwurst.
9
Bratwurst?
10
Aren't we the optimist?
11
Next time, keep it in your pouch.
12
You're not afraid of me, are you?
13
Afraid of you?
14
Why would I be afraid of you?
15
Well, most people are.
16
Well, I'm not.
17
Well, maybe you're not afraid of me, but I'm sure you've thought about me naked, huh?
18
My man Cameron here has a major Jones for Bianca Stratford.
19
What is it with this chick?
20
She have beer-flavored nipples?
21
Hey!
22
All right, uh, first thing, Cat hates smokers.
23
So you're telling me I'm a non-smoker?
24
Yes.
25
Well, just for now.
26
And here's another problem.
27
Bianca said that Cat likes pretty guys.
28
Are you telling me I'm not a pretty guy?
29
Very pretty!
30
He's a gorgeous guy.
31
I didn't know.
32
Have you ever been to Club Skunk?
33
Your favorite band's playing there tomorrow night.
34
I can't be seen at Club Skunk, all right?
35
But she'll be there.
36
She's got tickets.
37
Listen, assail your ears for one night.
38
She has a pair of black underwear.
39
If that helps.
40
Couldn't hurt, right?
41
I was watching you out there before.
42
I've never seen you look so sexy.
43
What?
44
What are you doing here?
45
9.30, right?
46
I'm early.
47
Whatever.
48
I'm driving.
49
You knocked up your sister.
50
Why are you doing this?
51
I told you, you may have a concussion.
52
You don't care if I never wake up.
53
Sure I do.
54
Why?
55
Because then I'd have to start taking out girls who actually like me.
56
Like you could find one.
57
Oh, see that, there.
58
Who needs affection when I have blind hatred?
59
So why'd you let him get to you? Who?
60
Joey.
61
I hate him.
62
Well, you've chosen the perfect revenge, mainlining tequila.
63
Well, you know what they say.
64
No, what do they say?
65
No, no, no, no, no. Cat, come on, wake up, look at me.
66
Listen to me, Kat.
67
Open your eyes.
68
Hey.
69
Your eyes have a little green in them.
70
No offense.
71
I know everyone digs your sister and all, but she's without.
72
You know, you're not as vile as I thought you were.
73
Ew!
74
Stop!
75
Stop!

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
