1
Yeah.
2
This is crazy, Ben.
3
Two deaths are not going to fit in here.
4
I promise.
5
I'll stay out of your way.
6
That's impossible because now I don't have room for.
7
Hi.
8
This is good, right?
9
I like this arrangement.
10
Becky, I want you to let Ben give you a hand, OK?
11
And CC him on all my emails.
12
Did we get yesterday's numbers?
13
Uh, yes, we did.
14
I saw them here.
15
Here you go.
16
Thanks.
17
And I need to go over the data on customer purchase patterns.
18
Let Ben take a look at that too.
19
Actually, let Ben take a look at that first.
20
Okay.
21
Don't worry, Becky.
22
Backup's good.
23
Ping me when Cameron gets in.
24
Becky?
25
I've been here nine months, Ben, and she never asked me to take a look at anything for her ever, okay?
26
I hear you.
27
That's frustrating.
28
I mean, totally.
29
I graduated from Penn.
30
I have a business degree, but I never seem to do anything right around here, and you're, like, 50 years older than me, and you're deaf.
31
I happen to think you do a lot of things right.
32
You do so much.
33
Oh.
34
I know.
35
I know that.
36
Mm-hmm.
37
But she doesn't.
38
I mean, I bust my ass for her 14 hours a day, and she never notices.
39
Oh, oh, my God.
40
I hate girls who cry at work.
41
How about if you, just as an experiment, try letting me help you?
42
A lot of your stress is going to be lifted once you're out from under this mountain of work.
43
And maybe you should consider leaving here at a normal hour once in a while.
44
See your friends.
45
Have a little fun.
46
Mm-hmm.
47
I can offer my assistance in this area.
48
I would love to, actually.
49
I just don't want her to think that I can't do my job and I need an intern to help me.
50
Okay, you're not gonna want to hear this, but I heard women who sleep less than seven hours a
51
night gain 38% more weight than women who sleep more than seven hours a night.
52
What?
53
I leave here at 11, I get back at 7, I sleep, like, five hours a night, and now I'm gonna get back?
54
Let's get through this stuff.
55
Let's do it together.
56
Let's clean slate it.
57
Let's just do it.
58
Oh, very nice, St. Louis.
59
Oh, a sway jacket in D.C.
60
I'm so happy.
61
Beautiful Miami.
62
Thank you.
63
Oh, look at Chicago.
64
She put the same boots in her cart as the woman from Houston.
65
Okay, let's see what she does at checkout.
66
She's not buying them either.
67
Okay, maybe check the delivery cost on those boots?
68
Now talk.
69
Hey.
70
Hi.
71
I took a look at the data purchase patterns.
72
Should I come back?
73
No, no, come on in.
74
That was fast.
75
Well, I enlisted Becky's help.
76
It seems the most expensive place you're advertising is actually bringing in the customers who are spending the least,
77
and the channels you're least investing in are adding enormous value in segments that currently appear to have low value, but actually have the highest spending potential.
78
That's what I could tell so far.
79
Whoa, Ben, can you, like, deal with that for me?
80
Maybe come up with a better plan?
81
I mean, if you have the time.
82
Happy to.
83
The man spent 40 years in business.
84
Yeah, no, I get it.
85
And, Jules, Becky was a huge help in this.
86
You know she has a business degree from Penn?
87
I know.
88
I mean, I forgot, but I know.
89
I'll say something to her.
90
That would be very nice.
91
Thank you.

What You'll Learn from This Video

Practicing with this clip is a great way to build everyday workplace communication skills and emotional expression in English. You’ll learn how to convey frustration and vulnerability naturally, as well as how to offer support—key for professional and personal interactions. Additionally, the dialogue teaches you to follow fast-paced, overlapping conversations, a common real-world scenario that improves listening and response time. This makes it perfect for english speaking practice and mastering the shadowing technique.

Listen For These Sounds

The conversation is full of connected speech and reductions that native speakers use. Notice how "I'll stay out of your way" becomes "I'll stay outta your way" (linking "out" and "of" to "outta"). Similarly, "did we get yesterday's numbers?" is often shortened to "did we get yes-tuh-day's numbers?" with a soft "t" in "yesterday." These reductions help you sound more natural and understand fast speech. Pay attention to how "ping me when Cameron gets in" flows smoothly, with "ping me" linking into "when" without a pause. These details are crucial for learn english with videos effectively.

Say It Like a Native

To mirror the speakers' rhythm and stress, focus on stressing content words like "crazy," "frustrating," and "bust my ass" to emphasize emotion. Notice how Becky's lines speed up when she's upset ("I bust my ass for her 14 hours a day, and she never notices")—imitate this pace to convey urgency. For the shadow speak technique, repeat phrases immediately after the speakers, matching their tone: Ben's calm "I happen to think you do a lot of things right" uses a steady rhythm to reassure. Practice pausing where the speakers do, like after "Okay?" or "Mm-hmm," to sound more natural. This helps you internalize native-like flow and makes your speech feel less scripted.

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.
