1
Okay, friends, I am so glad you are here to celebrate.
2
Another birthday for my sweet little Mavis, and another successful year of refuge from them!
3
These are recent human images our surveillance has uncovered.
4
They are getting fatter so as to overpower us.
5
And they are wearing less clothing, allowing more movement to strangle us or cut open our heads and put candy in them.
6
But they will never find us here.
7
Evil villain, you will never win!
8
Okie doke. The fun starts in 30 minutes.
9
Right now, I have to see my little girl.
10
She's not so little anymore!
11
Yes, she is!
12
What's going on out there? Are we at the hotel? Frank, did you book us for a tandem massage?
13
Did you get us a table at Hunchback's? Did you do anything?
14
You're welcome. What's going on?
15
Dad, you said that when I turned 118, I could go out into the world like every other adult that gets to come and go from this hotel.
16
"But, Mavey Wavey, it's not safe." Dad, 30 years ago, you promised.
17
I remember, we were both eating mice, and you specifically said that you gave me your word.
18
Do not disturb.
19
-Do not disturb. -Do not disturb.
20
Do not disturb.
21
-Do not disturb.
22
-Do not disturb.
23
-Do not disturb.
24
-Good morning, Your Eminence.
25
Maid, clean up this room!
26
It's you. Glad you could make it.
27
-Is she up yet?
28
-She's up. She's ready to go.
29
And by "go," I mean go.
30
As in, go check the world out.
31
What you gonna do?
32
What you gonna say?
33
I got it covered.
34
Please, relax. Just do your job.
35
Good morning, Mavey Wavey!
36
Happy birthday, my little mouse!
37
Thank you, Dad.
38
I know it's my birthday.
39
I have so much fun planned.
40
But first, we go catch some scorpions together, just the two of us, yes, dead-ums?
41
Dad, please, let me speak.
42
There's something we have to talk about.
43
You want to go out into the world.
44
You can. I knew you were gonna say that.
45
But, Dad, you gave me your word, and you know that I know that a Dracula's word is sacred.
46
That our trust is the core of our...
47
Wait, what?
48
I said you can go.
49
You're just playing with me.
50
No, no, no, no.
51
You're old enough to drive a hearse now, you're old enough to make your own choices.
52
You can go.
53
Holy rabies! Holy rabies!
54
Whoa Stop. Wait a second, sweetfangs.
55
Where are you going?
56
Oh, well, I'm going to paradise, and this is just some stuff that I thought I would need.
57
-Paradise? -Yeah, you know.
58
It's that place out there where you and Mom met.
59
Auntie Wanda says you two were just like, Zing!
60
I don't know from "Zing." Where did you find that card?
61
In one of your drawers.
62
Why won't you ever tell me about how you met?
63
It's actually Hawaii.
64
Ha-what-what?
65
Look, honey, I know you're excited, but everyone has gone to great lengths to come see you on your birthday.
66
I know. They always do.
67
But aren't I getting a little old for these parties?
68
I love them, but I really want to see new things.
69
Maybe meet somebody my age.
70
Come on. No, no, don't do that.
71
Don't give me the pouty batface.
72
Okay, there is a human village just a little ways past the cemetery.
73
You could go there and be back<br/> in, like, 30 minutes or so.
74
It should be plenty for your first time.
75
Well, it's not Ha-wee-wee, but I guess it's still technically out there. Okay, okay, okay!
76
Thanks for trusting me.
77
Of course, my little one.
78
I gave you my word.
79
- Hey, honey! -Look at this!
80
-Hey, guys.
81
You excited about tomorrow?
82
Not as excited as I am right now.
83
You're not gonna believe this, but Dad is letting me go out on my own to see a human village! -What? -No!
84
Excuse me. Drac!
85
Have you lost it? Letting your own daughter out there with those horrible humans you always tell us about?
86
That's why you built this place.
87
They hate us.
88
They're vicious.
89
And they're very loud!
90
Auntie Eunice, maybe they've changed.
91
I'm just gonna fly down the street and see how it goes.
92
Okay, honey, be safe.
93
Bring warm clothes and a sword.
94
And look out for pitchforks.
95
Don't you let anyone scoop your brains out, either.
96
Maybe stay in the shadows.
97
It's more fun to just observe from under a house.
98
Guys, guys.
99
She can handle it.
100
She's a Dracula, for Pete's sake.
101
But seriously, watch out for fire.
102
Fire bad. Bye, everyone.

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.
