1
Okay, then why don't you date Percy and the Buick is yours?
2
And don't just date him, you know?
3
Get to know him, because he's a really good kid.
4
So when you say date him, do you mean date him or date him?
5
Yes.
6
Yeah, that's correct.
7
Date him.
8
Date him hard.
9
Okay.
10
I'll date his brains out.
11
So, is he in his room?
12
Should I jump out and surprise him?
13
No, no, no, no, no, he's not here.
14
He can't know about this.
15
Nobody can know about this.
16
No, nobody can know about this.
17
Also, it would devastate him, which would kind of defeat the purpose of building up his confidence.
18
Right, right.
19
He volunteers at the animal shelter from 10 to 6, and we thought maybe you could go and just act like you want to adopt a dog.
20
And I don't see this happening, but if Percy dates somebody the organic way...
21
Got it.
22
Better get to work.
23
Yeah.
24
I'm drifting, I'm drifting, I'm drifting, I'm drifting.
25
Hi, can I interest you in some unconditional love?
26
Looking for something to slobber on you?
27
Can he help me?
28
Well, he mostly works with the dogs.
29
I deal with the people.
30
You have a weird energy.
31
Don't worry, I've been neutered.
32
I want him.
33
Percy, can you help this lady?
34
Mind if I touch your wiener?
35
What?
36
Your dog.
37
Oh.
38
Yeah.
39
Um, how can I help you?
40
Um, I want to adopt a dog.
41
Oh, yeah.
42
It's a cool cartoon.
43
It's anime.
44
Yeah, animated.
45
That's what I said.
46
Um, excuse me.
47
I need your help.
48
Oh, sorry.
49
Okay.
50
What kind of dog are you looking to adopt?
51
Well, I wish I could adopt them all.
52
Which is the most fucked up?
53
Um, the most messed up is Milo.
54
This is Milo.
55
He's been here the longest.
56
He was a drug dog for the state police, but they forced him into retirement because he got addicted to C-O-C-A-I-N-E.
57
Cocaine?
58
Oh, no!
59
Milo!
60
Milo!
61
Milo!
62
If he hears the word, he gets triggered.
63
Sorry, Milo.
64
I'm fresh out.
65
It's okay.
66
It's okay.
67
I'm gonna have to ask you a couple questions to make sure you're a suitable candidate.
68
We have to do with everyone.
69
It's the rules.
70
Oh, a little rule follower, huh?
71
Yeah, they're super important.
72
So is there, like, an office or somewhere private?
73
An office.
74
I'm right this way.
75
Great.
76
Maddie Barker.
77
I feel so far from you.
78
Um, spouse?
79
Um, currently single.
80
Thank God, too.
81
You can just have more fun, you know? Be spontaneous.
82
Unmarried.
83
Children?
84
No, God, no. Too young.
85
Having fun still, meeting new people.
86
I love that.
87
Childless.
88
Why do you want to adopt a dog?
89
Because I can't have dogs of my own.
90
And what do you plan to do with a dog if you move?
91
I'm not moving.
92
What if you did?
93
I've lived here my whole life.
94
I'm not going anywhere.
95
Oh, sorry.
96
I didn't mean to pry.
97
No, pry.
98
Pry me open.
99
Um.
100
Oh, my God.
101
Um...
102
Oh, what?
103
Already?
104
Um, okay, sorry.
105
I'm gonna have to send this application up to my supervisor.
106
Oh, come on.
107
There's gotta be more questions than that.
108
Yes, there are, but I have to start closing up.
109
So, yeah, you can go back another day, though.
110
I might not want a dog another day.
111
I want a dog right now.
112
Well, then pet ownership may not be for you.
113
You actually sound a lot like the kind of person we would normally take a dog from.
114
How about I give you a ride home, and we can keep talking?
115
You're on the way.
116
How do you know where I live?
117
Your parents told me.
118
What?
119
It's on your school bag.
120
Everything under control?
121
Um, hey, Crispin, what's the company policy about leaving early?
122
It's like we super can't do that, right?
123
Would that be, you know, frowned upon?
124
Oh, come on.
125
Let's go.
126
Okay.
127
Okay.
128
You can finish alone, right?
129
Bet you do it all the time.
130
Uh...
131
Thanks.
132
Bye.
133
Okay, then.
134
Approved.
135
That's your car?
136
It is for tonight.
137
Actually, you know what?
138
This sucks, but I just remembered I rode my bike here, so this is what...
139
I'll go around this.
140
Well, that's okay.
141
I can just throw it in the back.
142
You can ride up front with me.
143
Oh, come on.
144
I won't bite.
145
Unless you want me to.
146
Okay, but no biting.
147
I mean, yeah, whatever.
148
I've been with girls a couple times.
149
Where's the rest of my seatbelt?
150
It's a lap belt.
151
Just pretend you're on an airplane.
152
I'll be your flight attendant.
153
Why is the flight attendant flying the plane?
154
Because I've killed the pilot and taken over the plane.
155
You're my hostage.
156
Spook!
157
Spook!
158
Spook!
159
Spook!
160
Spook!
161
This isn't the way to my house.
162
It's a shortcut.
163
Give me that.
164
What are you doing?
165
Our generation and our phones, huh?
166
We're home.
167
Ooh.
168
What you got down there?
169
Something for me?
170
Why?
171
You tried kidnapping me!
172
I can't kidnap you.
173
You're 19.
174
Grow up.
175
You put me in a van and you took my phone.
176
If I were kidnapping you, would I give you all my personal information first?
177
God, why couldn't you have used your rape whistle?
178
Why would I have a rape whistle?
179
Why do you have fucking mace?
180
Sorry.
181
Will you get the hose, please?
182
Uh, it's broken.
183
Is the water on?
184
You have to turn the water on?
185
Are you fucking with me?
186
I just thought maybe it was our day.
187
The spigot.
188
The spigot!
189
Okay.
190
God.
191
Oh.
192
Ugh.
193
God.
194
Stop!
195
Fuck!
196
Stop spraying me with things!
197
I'm sorry.
198
I'm trying to help!
199
I'm sorry.
200
Ugh!
201
I'm sorry.
202
I'm sorry.
203
I'm sorry.
204
Ugh.
205
I'm sorry.
206
I'm so sorry.
207
I just didn't know what you were trying to do.
208
I just thought you were hot.
209
You think I'm hot?
210
Yeah.
211
I think you're super hot.
212
Well, maybe we should go on a date then?
213
I'll go throw another dress on.
214
Oh, no, I didn't mean now.
215
I meant, like, you know, tomorrow.
216
Like, a real date.
217
Oh.
218
Yeah, that's better.
219
Okay.
220
Tomorrow, then.
221
Thank you for the ride.
222
Bye.

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.
