1
Okay, Lewis, calm down.
2
You've had a few misfires.
3
Possibly I had a stroke, but you can do this.
4
You've entered the requisite information, you've calibrated the typeface perfectly.
5
All you have to do is press send, and those sons of bitches are about to get lit the hell up.
6
God damn mother...
7
What the hell are you doing?
8
I'm just doing a little troubleshooting.
9
Why?
10
That is a $400,000 piece of hardware, and you have no business even being...
11
Wait a second.
12
What are you still doing here?
13
any IT officer worth his salt would do.
14
I'm maintaining our system so it appears we're still a functioning law firm to the outside world.
15
Can you electronically serve legal notice to every partner in the next two hours?
16
As long as you've got their official business addresses, I can do it in the next two minutes.
17
Well, it's a good thing I have them right here.
18
Um, no offense, but I'm really more of a lone ranger.
19
Excuse me?
20
I can get this done in a more efficient manner without you looking over my shoulder.
21
Well, that's what I told my mother when I looked at my first Playboy, but it didn't happen then, and it's not going to happen now.
22
Well, that doesn't matter because we have a problem.
23
So you're saying in this office at any given moment there's $100,000 hidden away?
24
That's what I'm saying. Where?
25
I'm not telling you.
26
Whatever the hell you two are in the middle of, it's going to have to wait.
27
Because secretaries may talk to secretaries, but liars talk to idiots.
28
Lewis, what the hell are you talking about?
29
I'm saying that that list is a bucket of bullshit and the mighty Donna Paulson, she doesn't know her ass from her elbow.
30
Watch yourself, Lewis.
31
I don't need to watch myself, Harvey.
32
See, I don't know if you've noticed, but we're being sued for $100 million.
33
The partners are gone and we can't stop them.
34
Maybe we don't have to stop them.
35
What are you saying?
36
What I want to know right now is what we're all worth.
37
What, are you kidding?
38
Why don't you just jam a cattle prod at my ass?
39
It'd be less invasive.
40
I'll jam my fist in your face if you don't start getting with the program.
41
There you go, resorting to violence like you always do.
42
Because you won't admit this whole thing is your fault in the first place.
43
My fault?
44
If I hadn't brought Mike in, you'd still be here sniveling around like a goddamn junior partner.
45
And if I hadn't given Donna back to you, you'd still be having panic attacks like a goddamn little...
46
No!
47
You smug son of a bitch!
48
That's enough!
49
I just watched the man that I love go to prison so that none of you have to.
50
And it hasn't been five minutes.
51
And you're already ripping each other apart.
52
Let me finish.
53
I thought I wanted to be alone tonight.
54
And then I realized that I didn't because I wanted to be with my family.
55
But if you can't keep it together tonight, of all nights, then as far as I'm concerned, You're gonna rot in hell.
56
Well, I'm gonna say what you want.
57
This is all on you.
58
Louis, this is the last place I wanted to be tonight too.
59
But I came back here to save my firm anyway.
60
But if you're gonna be the same old Louis, and we're gonna do the same old dance, then maybe you and this firm can both go rot in hell.
61
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.
