Good luck, Gabe.
18
What are you doing here, Gabe?
19
Well, Darryl, considering that I basically own the place, I'm just chilling at Mikasa.
20
This is me in repose, I suppose.
21
You know, there's this expression, bros before hoes, and what that's short for is brothers before whores.

I would throw any brother under the bus for any whore.

Any whore?

Apparently we have a visitor.

Gabe, everyone.
28
Hi, Gabe.
29
All right, so the support belt.
30
Now this one is mine.
31
Doesn't get much use nowadays.
32
Look at this.
33
This is enormous.
34
I get the sense that Val enjoys a good put-down.
35
Considering that's the only thing I know about her, I will be milking that hard.

It's like a hula hoop, right?
37
Well, a clicky marker is who I sway.
38
You done?
39
The Michelin man called.
40
He wants his cummerbund back.
41
Is this job really about the money for you, Jim?
42
I mean, isn't this where you fell in love?
43
A commission cap takes away my incentive to sell.
44
So you realize I now have no reason to work, right?
45
When you're dealing with a large organization, sometimes you have to put up with policies you don't like.
46
I wish my gym didn't allow full nudity in the locker room.
47
OK, some of these old guys walking around naked feels almost passive aggressive.
48
But I deal with it because it's policy.
49
See what I mean?
50
Nope.
51
Nudity makes me uncomfortable.
52
OK.
53
My gym allows it.
54
I wish they didn't, but it's policy, so I respect it.
55
And I just keep a look away.
56
Think about your commission cap as a naked old man in a gym locker room.
57
Hey, kid, I hear you're looking for work.
58
Talk to me.
59
How far can you reach those lovely long arms of yours?
60
Eh, but now, how long can you hold that pretty little breath of yours?
61
Good.
62
Hey, Jim, are you distracting these people?
63
We're working.
64
Can you at least try to look busy?
65
The moment Darla put the cupcake in her mouth, her daddy pulled her aside and said, You're too fat.
66
No one's gonna like you if you're too fat.

Next time I saw David Geffen was at the Buffalo Club.
68
I love you, you gay bastard, I said.
69
You gay bastard, I said.
70
Gay ba- Gay- Oh.
71
Gabe Lewis.
72
Now listen here, Gabe.
73
You're too fat.
74
No one's gonna like you if you're too fat.
75
I made some changes to my book.
76
See if you like them.
77
What?
78
Now I love reading and I hate being interrupted.
79
Shut up and listen, you gay bastard.
80
Chapter 1.
81
I was born not into luxury nor poverty, but into adversity.
82
And for that I thank the Lord.
83
My father was a man.
84
That's all we can know.
85
After I learned to ride a bike, there was no stopping me.
86
I would ride up Magnolia Street and down Isaiah Lane, which would later become my paper route.
87
All right, good night, Gabe.
88
I just wanted to say thanks again, because I really think I made good use of my day.
89
I went wherever I wanted.
90
I have always been a fighter, and fate has obliged me with plenty of battles.
91
The first being a...
92
Andy also hired a management consultant today.
93
Oh, no. Hey, Aaron!
94
Look who's back!
95
The Birdman!
96
Hello, beautiful.
97
Didn't you two used to do it?
98
We absolutely did.
99
Thank you for remembering that.
100
She's looking good.
101
You know, times were tough.
102
I was unemployed.
103
I was still heartbroken over you.
104
I've lost a good 50 pounds, but as you can see, I put all that weight right back on.
105
I feel how fat my buttocks are.
106
Yeah.
107
It's crazy.
108
Touch it.
109
It's like a warm pumpkin.
110
So Andy just called you up out of the blue?
111
Yeah.
112
You told me you two broke up.
113
Yeah.
114
You must be pretty horny.
115
Thank you all for coming in.
116
Just wanted to check in.
117
How was everyone's day?
118
Honestly, it was a little weird.
119
Really?
120
Hmm, that's interesting, because Aaron and Pete thought it wouldn't be weird at all.
121
Why do you think it was weird, Gabe?
122
Maybe because you and Erin used to be an item?
123
I still wear Erin's button vans around the condo sometimes, so it feels to me like we're still in a relationship a lot of the time.
124
And Alice, I understand you once dumped Pete.
125
Ouch.
126
It was an amicable breakup, Andy.
127
Okay, while we're rewriting history, you never had a drinking problem.
128
It was college.
129
That is what you do.
130
You're also supposed to go to classes, so there's that.
131
Hey, Andy, is this at all work-related?
132
We'll get to that.
133
Gabe, did Erin ever tell you that she loves you?
134
Oh, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She wouldn't even let me say it.
135
It was adorable.
136
She'd plug her ears and scream her heart out.
137
Gabe, can you stop talking?
138
Because every word out of your mouth is like the squawk of an ugly pelican.
139
I got a tattoo for you.
140
I didn't ask you to get that Nike swoosh.
141
Nobody did.
142
You did that for you.
143
Just do it.
144
You were the it that I was just doing So you're dating a secretary now?
145
Living up in the world, Pete She's nice to me How's that P.E degree coming?
146
That's what he wanted to be His dream in college was to be a gym teacher Well, guess what?
147
He could still be a gym teacher In fact, we could all still be gym teachers So, let's I technically cannot I don't have the long capacity to
148
blow a whistle Oh my god What kind of music are you into, Peter?
149
Uh, I like all kinds of music, Gabe.
150
Really?
151
All kinds?
152
So you like songs of hate written by the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan?
153
No!
154
Erin, are you even hearing this?
155
Gabe, he didn't even say that.
156
He's not a very sophisticated man.
157
I mean, he can't use chopsticks, so do I need to say anything else?
158
Erin, I've been to Japan.
159
I know how to use chopsticks so well.
160
Come back.
161
One night.
162
Gabe, I don't want one.
163
Give me one night with you.
164
What is that supposed to be?
165
Is that supposed to be?
166
I don't want you to share everything.
167
I wasted two years of my life on you.
168
You realize that, right?
169
I just want to be real clear that chopsticks is not the measure of a man.
170
I am as smooth as a porpoise for you.
171
Why don't you say at the beginning, this isn't really going that well.
172
Gary!
173
Shovel his sashimi into his mouth with a smart!
174
All right, all right, yes.
175
That is a legitimate question.
176
Does making Aaron and Pete feel bad make me feel better?
177
He's a sashimi and fool and he's...
178
Yeah.
179
Yeah.
180
It does.
181
Very funny, everyone.
182
Who wrote captions under my doodle?
183
I'm not even kidding.
184
They're pretty good.
185
Which one in particular?
186
Yeah, which one?
187
Well, the first one has a surprise factor.
188
I'm a suck-suck-suckity-saber!
189
Booyah!
190
No, no. No, no, no. But, uh, I suppose the second one is the better written line.
191
You suppose?
192
What's it say?
193
I'm supposed to be wearing red gloves.
194
By my color cartridge portal.
195
Got jammed again.
196
Okay.
197
No, no, no, no, no. Love.
198
Keep it real.
199
You guys, if I knew you wanted to do a caption contest, I would have drawn something more challenging.
200
And I will take you all down.
201
You.
202
I've been reading the comics to my daughter since she was three years old.
203
Not once have I used the real caption to Family Circus.
204
That crazy family is hilarious to her for one reason.
205
Me.
206
Oh, it is on like Genghis Khan wearing Sean John in Bhutan.
207
Yes.
208
You guys, I have the perfect idea.
209
Okay, just take me ten minutes.
210
I want to do it.
211
I'm all for unbridled creativity in the workplace.
212
Within limits.
213
But bashing our own company?
214
By all means, think outside the box.
215
But stay pretty close to the original margins of the box, because a box is a pretty neat thing.
216
I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to shut this down.
217
Boo!
218
Unless we can all agree to some ground rules.
219
It's either that, or I can fax this to Joe and let her decide how to proceed.
220
Gabe, tell us your stupid rules so we can start the game.
221
Number one, and this should be obvious, no captions that insult the company we work for.
222
Irony is such a critical part.
223
I'm too.
224
No pop culture references.
225
Seriously?
226
Well, I think we can all agree they tend to alienate those who don't get the reference, making them feel like the other.
227
Wrap it up, Gabe.
228
Okay, final thing, and this is a fun one.
229
Instead of writing the caption directly under the picture, let's all try using sticky quips, right?
230
New from Dunder Mifflin Saber.
231
Sticky quips are fun.
232
They are safe.
233
They are handy.
234
I like to use sticky quips as regular post-it notes
235
when I'm in a fun mood not every day go get them start quipping Hey, I think I'm gonna send you an IM.
236
Oh, okay.
237
Send me one two.
238
Yeah, yeah put me on that Si si Sticky quips make your memos talk Great work,
239
Sue, but don't rest on your laurels.
240
Your best work's still ahead of you.
241
Call me in forward to discuss that new client.
242
You're performing exceptionally here, and your employee review will reflect that.
243
Helps if you have really small handwriting.
244
So what, no one's even gonna try?
245
Guess not.
246
Oh, come on.
247
My rules could not possibly have been that oppressive.
248
You crushed our spirits, Gabe.
249
Congrats.
250
You're a big man, huh?
251
Takes a lot to destroy the creativity of a whole group of people.
252
Hey.
253
Click the X.
254
I'm clicking.
255
In the box.
256
I am clicking.
257
Woman, you've had a computer for years.
258
Too late.
259
Oh, and I am chat.
260
Very clever.
261
I'll just print that out.
262
Come on, guys.
263
Grow up.
264
I don't want to be your babysitter.
265
Darn it, Bob.
266
I told you not to buy a Sabre brand lifeboat.
267
Nice.
268
No, not nice.
269
Terrible.
270
Doesn't even include the fact that they're dogs.
271
Do the next one.
272
Wake up, Fred.
273
The power cord on your saber printer shocked you into a coma, and you're dreaming you're a dog on a desert island.
274
Dreaming he's a dog on an island.
275
Excuse me, excuse me.
276
How does the speaker know what the guy in the coma is dreaming?
277
Well, if you think it's so easy, Gabe, why don't you try it?
278
Okay, no problem.
279
Off the top of my head, um, that's the last time I buy cruise ship tickets from Tick Cat Masters.
280
Okay, fine.
281
How about this then?
282
Um, you don't have to sniff my rear end anymore, Bob.
283
I'm the only one here.
284
That's tasteless, Gabe.
285
Tasteless?
286
Tasteless.
287
More tasteless than this?
288
Is that a palm tree or did Gabe get skinnier?
289
Either way, let's pee on it.
290
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner.
291
Yes.
292
Well done. Are you Lincoln?
293
No, no, I'm...
294
Apparently, I bear a passing resemblance to Abraham Lincoln.
295
Makes it kind of hard for me to go to places like museums, historical monuments, elementary schools.
296
I don't see it.
297
Chelsea, give Mr. Lincoln your hat so I can take a picture.
298
Okay.
299
Quick.
300
Hey!
301
Lincoln's starting.
302
Uh-oh, uh, no. No, no, no, no. I'm actually with the tour group myself, so...
303
Hello, I'm Abraham Lincoln.
304
Some people call me the great emancipator, but you might know me from the penny.
305
I just don't understand.
306
It's 1865.
307
Victory is ours.
308
I have saved the very soul of our nation, and yet happiness eludes me.
309
Huh.
310
Perhaps a trip to the theater will enliven my spirits.
311
No!
312
Abe and Mary are seated watching the show.
313
Oh, Mary, this is wonderful.
314
Okay, Mary, stop your scolding.
315
I'll be quiet.
316
I need her like I need a hole in the head.
317
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
318
Oh.
319
Bang!
320
Dwight?
321
What are you doing here?
322
Gabe?
323
You don't know?
324
Of course I know.
325
Hmm, impressive office you have here.
326
Surrounded by shrubbery, like a squirrel's office.
327
Well, it's called a jungle, and it helps me remember that it's a jungle down here in Tallahassee.
328
We live by the loss of the wild.
329
You'll get it, or maybe you won't.
330
Corporate says to me, Gabe, we need you in Scranton.
331
Scranton says, Gabe, go back down to Florida.
332
You're needed there.
333
So, Tuesdays and Thursdays, I'm up there.
334
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I'm down here.
335
I can think of no better way to confront my deathly fear of flying.
336
Hey, Trish.
337
You see Trish?
338
We've got kind of an are we friends slash what is this thing going on.
339
If you think she's hot, you should see your sister Ashley.
340
That girl puts the ass in Tallahassee.
341
Makes Trish look like garbage.
342
You can reduce your prices by 10% or we're going to be finding a new source for our morning bagels.
343
All right.
344
Gabe, I always wondered what it is you did around here.
345
Now I found out.
346
You're the bagel guy.
347
Yeah, but not just bagels.
348
All unwanted problems.
349
Question.
350
What's the most important appliance in your house?
351
Meat grinder.
352
Too slow?
353
It's the toilet.
354
And I am the toilet of this office.
355
I flush away annoying problems so others can keep their hands clean.
356
And just like a toilet, I am essential.
357
You know, Gabe, you could have gone with garbage disposal, incinerator, or eraser, and instead you chose toilet.
358
God bless you.
359
You're an American classic.
360
So it's a very simple argument of why I should be put in charge of southeast printer sales.
361
Nobody has sold more printers in the northeast than me.
362
Bottom line, I know the product.
363
I get it.
364
Well, you got my vote.
365
Oh, my God.
366
Most of all, I believe that character is destiny.
367
And my character is one that...
368
Wait, why are you smiling?
369
What?
370
What's with the smile?
371
You're doing great.
372
Yeah, so good.
373
And my character is one that will never give up until greatness is on the horizon behind us.
374
Dwight, that was a fantastic presentation.
375
Put your hand on my hand.
376
Flash.
377
Ow, ow, ow.
378
Take me to Robert.
379
Ow, he went home.
380
Take me to his house.
381
Uh, it's a condo.
382
It's a long-term business house.
383
You know where it is.
384
Ow, ow.
385
Leave me there.
386
Ow, Stephanie, help.
387
Listen, you're a perfectly fine toilet.
388
I'm just an extraordinary piece of crap.
389
Let's go.
390
Ow.
391
I'm going to go to the next video.

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.
