1
It just lands all over his face.
2
Oh my gosh, that is so funny, Gary.
3
Really?
4
I don't think I've ever laughed this much with someone.
5
Whenever you're ready.
6
Thanks.
7
Well, I've had a great time tonight.
8
I have to be honest, I was a little thrown off when you said we were going to a diner, but it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
9
Yeah.
10
Nice.
11
All right, I'll check.
12
Let's see.
13
Uh, we got $34.
14
Like, $40?
15
Probably good, right?
16
$6 tip?
17
Yeah.
18
Okay.
19
All right.
20
Okay, so...
21
That's my 20.
22
I don't know.
23
What?
24
Like, do you want to put your 20?
25
What do you mean?
26
Like, oh, do you...
27
I don't know.
28
Were you paying card cash?
29
Are you kidding me, Gary?
30
What?
31
How cheap are you?
32
Ugh, ew.
33
Giselle, Giselle, wait.
34
No, I'm not coming back now.
35
You ruined it.
36
Don't call me.
37
There goes another one.
38
Thanks.
39
I can't believe him.
40
It should have been a major red flag when he said he was taking me to Darla's.
41
Like, do I look like the kind of girl you would take to a diner?
42
I personally like the place.
43
I mean, the food's good and the price is affordable.
44
Affordable?
45
Does anything about me look affordable?
46
I mean, besides the knockoff designer bag.
47
That fake diamond necklace and that Bolex watch.
48
What are you talking about?
49
These are all real.
50
Fine.
51
But the point is, he didn't know that.
52
Look, I don't understand what the issue is.
53
Look, you seem like you really liked Gary.
54
You're both cat lovers, like watching movies, and you seemed like you really loved his sense of humor.
55
I mean, who cares if he made you split the check? Who cares?
56
You obviously don't get it, Juliette.
57
I'm tired of going on dates with broke guys.
58
I need someone who can pay my bills so that I don't have to work.
59
If only there was a way to know for sure who has money and who doesn't.
60
Are you sure you're looking for a boyfriend?
61
And not a sugar daddy?
62
No. Sugar daddies are old and gross.
63
Plus, they're usually married.
64
I want someone young and handsome that I can settle down with.
65
Most importantly, rich.
66
Mm-hmm.
67
What are you doing, anyway?
68
Ugh, job hunting.
69
Through LinkedIn?
70
Why don't you just use Indeed or ZipRecruiter?
71
Because this way I can see the names and titles of every person that works at the company that I'm applying to.
72
That way, instead of applying like everyone else, I can simply measure the...
73
That's it!
74
How did I not think about this before?
75
Forget Tinder.
76
Through LinkedIn, I can figure out exactly what they do for a living.
77
That way I'll know ahead of time who has money and who's just a big waste of time.
78
Yes!
79
This is why I love you, Julia.
80
You're a genius!
81
I have to go get to my laptop.
82
Kisses.
83
Bye!
84
So remind me again, why are we going to yoga?
85
You can't even touch your toes.
86
Two words.
87
Ethan Vanderbilt.
88
He is the vice president of a big telecommunications company.
89
He's into dogs, running and reading.
90
It's all on his LinkedIn.
91
And it's all the things you despise.
92
First off, you're a cat mom.
93
You hate dogs.
94
No I don't.
95
I like dogs.
96
I just like cats more.
97
You literally left your mom's dog on the back of some stranger's pickup truck outside of a pound
98
and then you told your mom that it ran away so you didn't have to live with it.
99
That was a long time ago.
100
Mm-hmm. And running.
101
Can we talk about running for a second?
102
I've never seen you run a day in your life, okay?
103
You get tired just running up a flight of stairs.
104
I can make it up the stairs.
105
Well, it depends on how many steps there are.
106
Mm-hmm.
107
And when's the last time you read a book?
108
I don't know.
109
Recently.
110
Recently.
111
Mm-hmm.
112
Can you name a book?
113
Yeah. Does the Bible count?
114
Ugh, alright, fine.
115
So we don't have a lot in common.
116
But him being rich will compensate for a lot of things.
117
You know, you should choose someone for who they are, not what they have.
118
Well, you can split as many checks as you want.
119
I'm not going to.
120
So he's also into yoga?
121
No, at least I didn't see anything about that on his LinkedIn.
122
But I know someone who is.
123
You'll see.
124
Three, two, one, let it all go.
125
Great job, everyone.
126
Thank you all for coming.
127
I'm surprised you lasted to the end.
128
Girl, I thought you were going fast out.
129
Oh.
130
You good?
131
So remind me, if Ethan's not here, why are we here?
132
Shh.
133
That was such an amazing class.
134
I feel so much better.
135
Especially after that terrible night that I had last night.
136
What happened last night again?
137
How do you not remember?
138
I found out that Brent was cheating on me.
139
Brent?
140
Yeah.
141
It's just been especially hard because, you know, because I really thought that he was the one.
142
Hi, dear.
143
I couldn't help but overhear.
144
I'm so sorry about your breakup.
145
Thanks.
146
It's just hard these days to find the right partner.
147
It's like, who can you trust?
148
Yeah, I 100% agree.
149
I just want an honest guy.
150
I'm not looking for much.
151
You know, someone who loves dogs, likes to go on the occasional run,
152
wouldn't mind getting lost in a good book on a Sunday afternoon.
153
Oh well, maybe I'll be single for life.
154
You know, everything you've just described reminds me of my son Ethan.
155
He has a hard time dating and trusting people too.
156
Probably because of how successful he is.
157
You don't say.
158
If you'd be open to it, maybe I could set you two up on a date?
159
Yeah.
160
Right.
161
Yeah!
162
No. No. And then I said, you better have not spiked the punch, Mr. Andrews.
163
That's so funny.
164
You're such a good storyteller, Ethan.
165
Thanks, Giselle.
166
It's probably because I like to read a lot of books.
167
My mom tells me you like to read.
168
Oh, uh.. mm-hmm.
169
Mm-hmm.
170
Who are you into right now?
171
Oh gosh, um, no one that you would know.
172
Romance authors, mostly.
173
What can I say?
174
I'm a hopeless romantic.
175
No way!
176
I love getting my hands on a good romance novel.
177
Did you read Nora Roberts' new piece, Identity?
178
I...
179
Identity!
180
Ah, it was so good!
181
How is this banana cream pie, by the way?
182
I could eat like 10 of these.
183
Which other romance authors are you into?
184
Mm.
185
Oh, gosh.
186
There's just so many.
187
How can you choose just one, you know?
188
Come on, just name one.
189
Anyone.
190
One.
191
Mmm...
192
Julia.
193
If I had to choose, I would say Julia.
194
Julia Quinn is one of my favorite all-time authors hands down.
195
That's crazy.
196
You know, I've gotta say, I don't think I've ever had this much in common with someone before.
197
And it's even better that my mom introduced us because, to be honest, I'm a bit of a mama's boy.
198
At least all my ex-girlfriends have told me that.
199
Oh, wait, that sounded bad.
200
When I say all my ex-girlfriends, I've only had like two.
201
Well, one and a half technically, because I thought I was in a relationship with this girl Veronica, but it turns out that she thought we were just friends.
202
It was a really awkward situation.
203
Uh...
204
No rush.
205
Now look, in all seriousness, if things do move forward between us, I do have one rule.
206
I say this at the risk of being cold old-fashioned, but it's important to me that my lady...
207
never pays for anything.
208
Is that alright with you?
209
I won't fight you on it. So...
210
I heard you're into running.
211
And this is my home.
212
Wow!
213
Oh, there she is.
214
And this is Rex!
215
Aww, kisses!
216
Looks like you passed the Rex test.
217
You ready?
218
Yeah!
219
Let's go!
220
Cause we about to make it, we about to make it happen
221
You okay?
222
Come on, got this Got this Hey, honey, ah!
223
Ah!
224
Hey!
225
Alright?
226
Come on, we're almost halfway.
227
I thought it was called brndy
228
Hey, is everything alright?
229
You said it was an emergency.
230
Oh, by the way, you got dog hair all over your dress.
231
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
232
I don't think I can take it anymore, Julia.
233
He's driving me crazy.
234
Crazy!
235
We literally have nothing in common.
236
Well, I did try to warn you.
237
I mean, but you said that his money would help compensate.
238
No amount of money in the world could compensate for what I've been through the last few months.
239
First off, he's old school, so he expects me to do all of his cooking and cleaning.
240
Then his mom is constantly there.
241
He is a grown man, and yet he still has her do all of his laundry for him.
242
What kind of man does that?
243
Then his annoying dog sleeps with us in our bed.
244
Our bed gets his fur everywhere.
245
Ethan never wants to watch TV or movies.
246
He just wants to read.
247
Oh, he has terrible jokes.
248
And the only person who thinks that they're funny is his mom.
249
They both have this annoying grunt laugh that they do.
250
I literally cannot take it anymore.
251
So, in other words, you're saying you should really choose someone for who they are, not what they have?
252
Fine.
253
You were right.
254
Is that what you want to hear?
255
I just want someone who I can watch movies with, who has a good sense of humor, and who likes cats.
256
If I could find someone like that, then I wouldn't even mind splitting a check.
257
It sounds like you shouldn't have walked out on Gary then.
258
So what are you gonna do?
259
There's only one thing to do.
260
And then I said, you better have not spiked the punch, Mr. Andrews.
261
You know, I've heard you tell that joke a dozen times.
262
I must say, it gets funnier every time I hear it.
263
I know, right?
264
It gets better and better.
265
Oh, come on in, honey.
266
Do you mind if we pick up later?
267
Oh, of course.
268
This does mean I got the contract, right?
269
Yes.
270
I'll ask your secretary for a check.
271
Hey, is everything okay?
272
Uh, there's just something I need to tell you.
273
Oh, okay.
274
I've got something to tell you too, but you go first.
275
What's up?
276
No, no, you start.
277
All right, well, I've been thinking about things recently,
278
Giselle, and I feel like things aren't working out.
279
Hold up.
280
Are you breaking up with me?
281
It wasn't an easy decision, but I talked to my mom and we both feel it's just not working out.
282
Your mom?
283
What kind of mama's boy are you?
284
No, no, you are not breaking up with me because I am breaking up with you.
285
Giselle, can you please just...
286
Don't even try to back out of this.
287
You are a 26-year-old child who can't even make his decisions for himself
288
because he has to have his mom make them for him.
289
You have zero sense of humor and your laugh is annoying.
290
Oh, and if I'm being completely honest, I hate your dog.
291
Chazelle, that's not- I don't even care how much money you make.
292
I have a way better guy who I used to talk to, who's actually normal, who likes to watch movies,
293
who likes cats, who actually is funny unlike you.
294
I'm gonna go back to him.
295
His name is Gary.
296
Gary, what are you doing here?
297
You two know each other?
298
Gary's my boss, the president of the company.
299
You see, I just do this thing where I'll ask my date to split the check just to see how she reacts.
300
But if there's an issue with that, that kind of tells me a lot.
301
Hope you're not upset.
302
Rex!
303
No!
304
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
305
No, Rex.
306
No!
307
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.
