1
Uh, hi.

Good morning.
3
I'm Curtis.
4
Have a seat.
5
Thank you.
6
Mike Ross?
7
Hi.
8
I'm Rachel Zane.
9
I'll be giving you your orientation.
10
Wow.
11
You're pretty.
12
Good.
13
You've hit on me.
14
We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested.
15
No, I'm sorry.
16
I wasn't hitting on you.
17
Trust me.
18
I've given dozens of these, and without fail, whatever new hot shot it is thinks that because I'm just a paralegal, that I will somehow be blown away by his dazzling degree.
19
Let me assure you, I won't.
20
I was?
21
Mm-hmm.
22
I was hitting on you.
23
You were.
24
Take notes.
25
I'm not going to repeat myself.
26
I love you.
27
Each bank of offices specializes in its own arena of the law and is anchored by a department head on either end.
28
So on our left, mergers and acquisitions.
29
On the opposite side, high net worth divorce.
30
Nice.
31
Mergers across from divorce.
32
Symmetry.
33
Yeah, I should just listen.
34
The firm operates on a chain of command model.
35
Harvey's your commanding officer.
36
However, Lewis Litt, he oversees all associates, so you'll also answer to him.
37
What do you think about Harvey?
38
People are in awe of him.
39
They say he's the best closer there is, but I have very little contact with him, so I don't know.
40
What about Lewis Litt?
41
Let's continue with your tour.
42
Hey, Becky, you are glowing.
43
I wonder why that is.
44
Oh, yeah.
45
It's the day they announced my promotion.
46
Jimmy, have you lost weight?
47
Steve-o.
48
Looking like a guy who came to work.
49
Excuse me, why are you scratching off the senior off my door?
50
I got a work order to take it off.
51
Who issued the work order?
52
My supervisor.
53
Why did he issue the work order?
54
I knew that I'd be his supervisor.
55
You seem to be enjoying yourself.
56
I know.
57
I know.
58
I know.
59
I know.
60
I know.
61
I know.
62
I know.
63
I haven't enjoyed myself since 2004.
64
Donna?
65
Someone's trying to have a little fun with me here.
66
Jessica wants to see you in her office.
67
Now.
68
And finally, this is where you'll live.
69
Wow.
70
I gave you that for a reason you haven't taken one note.
71
It's because...
72
Because you were too busy ogling me to listen to a word I've said a word I've said.
73
Partners offices anchor the wings.
74
Fifth floor is research.
75
Six is security.
76
All work gets built, even if it's finding an address.
77
I answer to Harvey and Lewis lit, and judging by the way you responded to my questions, I should admire Harvey and I should fear Lewis.
78
You have been here for five years, and just because I outrank you does not mean I have the authority to command your services.
79
Oh, it's also pretty clear that you think you're too smart to be a paralegal.
80
You know what nobody likes?
81
Nobody likes a show-off.
82
You used the word ogling.
83
I mean...
84
When do I get to see Harvey?
85
Thank 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.
