1
Rachel, do me a favor?
2
Can you just put that on pause for a sec?
3
Because I need to make a copy.
4
No, Lewis, I can't.
5
I'm busy doing my job.
6
Excuse me?
7
You want to fire me like you fired Harold?
8
Because honestly, I don't give a shit.
9
I get it.
10
Rachel, listen.
11
I know about the Harvard thing.
12
And I think it's great.
13
What?
14
Yeah, Norma told me.
15
Rachel, I know that waiting is hard, but you're not gonna be here for much longer.
16
I got 100% faith in you.
17
I didn't get it.
18
What?
19
I don't understand.
20
I had everything.
21
My grades, the LSATs, I'm a legacy, and I don't even puff myself up, but I killed it at that interview.
22
That doesn't make any sense.
23
And do you remember that woman who came from Harvard?
24
She didn't like anyone, but I swear she loved me.
25
Sheila.
26
Yeah.
27
Sheila...
28
Sheila Sass.
29
You remember.
30
Yeah, I remember. Is there something wrong?
31
Yup, there is something wrong.
32
I believe you were wronged.
33
I believe you suffered the slings and hours of outrageous wrongness.
34
And I will not have it.
35
What does that mean?
36
That means that I'm gonna rectify this situation because you miss saying you're going to Harvard.
37
Look, Sheila, I'm flattered by what you did.
38
But this is not fair, and you know it can't stand.
39
Lewis, pull a resume from the stack.
40
Anyone.
41
Read it.
42
Sure.
43
Magna cum laude.
44
Yale, 3.9 GPA.
45
Another one.
46
Summa cum laude.
47
Georgetown, 4.3 GPA.
48
Listen, I get it.
49
I know what you're trying to...
50
That's my reject pile.
51
I am a professional.
52
I would never let my feelings for you sway me against a candidate.
53
Okay, but you have to let them sway you for a candidate.
54
You can't ask me that.
55
Rachel Zane is the best paralegal in the best law firm in New York.
56
She is relied upon by the best lawyers who have graduated from the best university.
57
The woman is crimson.
58
So who do I knock out?
59
I promised her.
60
Louis, I liked her.
61
I did.
62
You're just gonna have to tell her the truth.
63
Sometimes good isn't good enough.
64
What is it, Louis?
65
Got a hard truth to tell you.
66
I'm not going to Harvard.
67
No, you're not.
68
I get it.
69
I'm not good enough.
70
I never have been.
71
That is not the hard truth.
72
You're an amazing candidate, and you need to know this in your heart.
73
The truth is you did not get in.
74
Because I let you down.
75
What are you talking about?
76
Sheila and I had a relationship.
77
I hurt her. And...
78
And she took it out on me?
79
I want to write you a recommendation for anywhere.
80
Any law school.
81
It just...
82
Won't be Harvard.
83
I'm really sorry.
84
Hey.
85
Hey.
86
I never got to buy you that drink last night.
87
They were free.
88
I know.
89
You left.
90
I did.
91
It was a nice party.
92
It was.
93
Mm-hmm.
94
Mm-hmm.
95
Okay.
96
So I see you're still not gonna tell me why.
97
I didn't get to know.
98
I don't know.
99
I don't know.
100
You left.
101
I did.
102
It was a nice party.
103
It was.
104
Mm-hmm.
105
Mm-hmm.
106
Okay.
107
So I see you're still not gonna tell me why you...
108
I didn't get into Harvard.
109
Don't look at me that way. With sympathy? With pity.
110
I wasn't.
111
Rachel...
112
Listen to me.
113
There are other schools...
114
Don't.
115
Yeah, I won't.
116
It wasn't that I wasn't good enough.
117
I know that.
118
It was Louis.
119
What?
120
The interviewer.
121
Uh, apparently she and Louis had a history and...
122
Wait, she didn't let you in because of him?
123
That's...
124
I know.
125
...not right.
126
I know.
127
Tell me about the day you found out.
128
Rachel, come on.
129
No. I need to hear how it felt from someone who got in, because I'll...
130
I'll never hear that from myself.
131
You're looking at me like that again.
132
I'm not.
133
Then what?
134
It's.. it's just not right.
135
Yeah.
136
Whatever it is, I'm not in the mood.
137
I know about Rachel and Sheila at Harvard.
138
How?
139
Rachel told me.
140
She wants me to send this letter going over Sheila's head, but it can't come from me.
141
Yeah, it can't come from anyone.
142
She didn't get in because they didn't think she was good enough.
143
You lied to her.
144
No, I never lied to her.
145
I told her she was good enough, which she is, but I let her down because I couldn't persuade Sheila, which is the truth.
146
Louis, you have to tell her the real truth.
147
Like, I saw the look on her face and I took it away.
148
I do not want to put it back.
149
She is gonna pursue this.
150
She's gonna find out one way or the other.
151
I'm not gonna let her find out from Harvard.
152
I can't tell her.
153
You'll regret it.
154
Look, I'll give you another day to think about it, but after that, I have to tell her myself.
155
I mean, so look, I'm sorry, but I am not...
156
When did you send that letter?
157
Um, I was, uh...
158
I'll tell you when.
159
Never.
160
Okay, look, let me explain.
161
When I went to see Louis, he told me what really happened.
162
I know.
163
He told me to.
164
And I get it.
165
I'm not good enough.
166
What I don't get, Mike, is why you didn't have the courage and tell me that yourself.
167
Look, he lied to you.
168
I thought he deserved the chance to tell you himself, all right?
169
When I went to his office to get him to sign the letter, I...
170
Wait.
171
You went to him to sign the letter?
172
You told me you were gonna sign the letter.
173
No. So you lied to me.
174
No, I didn't.
175
I told you that I would help you.
176
That is such bull .
177
That's not what you meant, and you know it.
178
You've been cagey with me since the second I came to you about the letter, and you're being cagey with me right now.
179
You are.
180
You're lying to me.
181
Not today.
182
Rachel, please stop.
183
Then what day, Mike?
184
Because it's always something.
185
It is always some secret or some story or some lie.
186
You don't understand.
187
I don't understand why.
188
You don't understand what I have been through.
189
You don't understand what I have lost.
190
Because it's everything.
191
Everyone that I love.
192
Trevor, my grandmother, Harvey, now probably this job.
193
I am not ready to lose you.
194
Not today.
195
Then tell me.
196
I never went to Harvard.
197
What?
198
I'm a fraud.
199
Rachel.
200
Rachel.
201
I'm sorry.

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.
