But she knew I had feelings for Maddie.
2
But I didn't know you were gonna get back together with her.
3
How many times do I have to tell you that we're not back together?
4
Right, you just hung out and talked about love.
5
Oh, Jesus fucking Christ.
6
If I would've known you were gonna get back together, I wouldn't have done this.
7
That's a lie!
8
It's not a lie!
9
You have this image of yourself, that's so fucking sweet and innocent.
10
But it's bullshit.
11
If you were a fucking sweet person, you wouldn't have fucked your best friend's boyfriend.
12
You two are broken up.
13
That is a comfort to nobody but you.
14
I can't do this.
15
What, you wanna go tell Maddie?
16
Maybe I will.
17
You're afraid that I'm still in love with Maddie, so you're gonna do whatever the fuck it takes to destroy that.
18
This isn't about being a fucking good person, Cassie, or being a fucking good friend.
19
This is about you getting what you want.
20
You can fucking leave or you can get into bed.
21
It's up to you.
22
You know what you don't realize, Nate?
23
Is I don't care what happens to me.
24
I don't care how angry Maddie gets.
25
You two shouldn't be together.
26
You're toxic.
27
How would you know?
28
Because she's my best friend and I'm in a relationship with you.
29
She's not good for you, you're not good for her, and I will do everything I can to prevent it.
30
Maddie, that's literally fucking insane.
31
Maddie, Cassie, I...
32
See?
33
This is what I'm talking about.
34
I said Maddie because we're talking about how fucking crazy Maddie is, which you can't seem to fucking comprehend.
35
No, what you don't understand, Nate, is I am crazier.
36
That's not something to be fucking proud of, Cassie.
37
No, but it is something you should be scared of.
38
What the fuck?
39
What the fuck?
40
You can't fucking blackmail me into a relationship with you.
41
Blackmail means you don't have choices.
42
But in reality, you do have choices.
43
You just have to own up to the consequences of them.
44
That is the literal fucking definition of blackmail.
45
If you don't do this, I'm gonna do that.
46
It's blackmail!
47
I don't care!
48
It doesn't change anything!
49
It's fucked up!
50
You know what's fucked up, Nate?
51
You telling me that you love me and then going and being in a relationship with my best friend.
52
What the fuck?
53
What the fuck is wrong with you?
54
What the fuck is wrong with you?
55
Okay.
56
Bye.
57
Oh, fucking...
58
Cassie, stop.
59
I love you.

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.
