Bye. Oh, no.
103
So, did you get the anulment?
104
I couldn't.
105
I knew it because you love Rachel.
106
It's not that. Okay. Anulments are more complicated than I complicated because of the love. I I do I do not love Rachel. I'm going to tell her right now about the whole thing so we can get this marriage an enold as fast as possible. Okay. Would I do that if if I loved her?
107
I've never been more convinced of your love for her.
108
I do not have feelings for Rachel. Okay.

Of course.
115
Hello. Hello. Is Ross there? Uh, no he's not.
116
Can I take a message?
117
Yes. This is Russell. Ross' divorce lawyer. Just tell him that since I haven't heard from him, I assume he's decided to give the marriage a try.
118
Ross got married again. No.
119
All right, keep going. We are phasing the accent out. Phasing it out.
120
So, without retesting their results in the laboratory, the team would never have identified the initial errors in their carbon dating a little.
121
Were there any questions at this point?
122
Yes. What's happening to your accent?
123
Come again. What's What's this nonsense?
124
All right. I'm I'm not English.
125
I'm from Long Island.
126
I was really nervous and the accent just um just came out.
127
I'm sorry. So, if we could just get back to the lecture.
128
Um were there any questions about paleontology?
129
All right. Look, I was just trying to make a good first impression. Obviously, I screwed up, but what you guys think of me is really important because I'm I'm hoping to get a permanent job here. So, if you just give me another chance to make a good impression.
130
RUSS, ARE YOU CRAZY? I'M STILL YOUR WIFE OR WERE YOU JUST NEVER GOING TO TELL ME?
131
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?
132
I COULD JUST KILL YOU.
133
WELL, RACHEL, you two were involved in a serious relationship that really creates a problem.
134
Ros, your honor, rest assured that relationship ended 2 years ago. And can you please strike consummated like bunnies from the record?
135
Is there anything in this record that is actually true?
136
Uh, well, yes, we uh we got married in Vegas and uh and the names, I think.
137
Well, based on what I've heard, you two certainly don't qualify for an enolment.
138
If you don't want to be together, you'll have to file for divorce.
139
That's great. You happy now? Look what you did with your funny funny form.
140
What me? What about YOU AND YOUR CONSUMMATED LIKE BUDDIES NONSENSE?
141
What are you typing that for? See what he said? We don't get the anulment.
142
Don't type that. What? Stop typing. Hey, stop typing.
143
Stop typing. Stop typing.
144
Okay. Do you see? Do you see what you are keeping me married to?
145
You need to get out of my chambers.
146
All right. Look, lady. Here is the deal.
147
I came here for an anulment, and I am not leaving here until I get one.
148
Would you like to spend the night in jail?
149
Hey, thank you for your time.
150
Oh, honey. Thank god you're home. I was getting worried.
151
I picked up the divorce papers. Uh, I've already signed everything and I put little X's where you need to sign.
152
Oh, little X's. Great. That makes up for everything.
153
You know, you've done a lot of stupid stuff, too. Okay.
154
Oh, name one stupid thing that is as stupid as this one.
155
Okay. How about you flew to London to stop my wedding? Uh, how about you told me you love me after I was already married?
156
Wait a minute. That was different. I did those things because I was in love with you.
157
Yeah, right.
158
You're right. That's very different.
159
So, let's let's just sign the papers.
160
What? Nothing.
161
Okay. Can we just sign, please?
162
Mhm. Congratulations.
163
Okay. Wait, Ross, where? Wait a minute.
164
Um, I uh kind of have a little confession.
165
What? Uh, well, you know, this whole marriage thing.
166
Kind of my idea.
167
Excuse me?
168
Uh, well, remember how we were too drunk to remember anything the night we were married?
169
Yeah. And uh yeah, I didn't really I didn't want to say anything, but it just kind of kept coming back to me. And um remember we were in the casino and for some reason you thought it would be funny to eat a lot of grapes.
170
And uh and I thought it would be funnier if we got married.
171
So even as a as a compromise, we decided first to get married and then to eat a lot of grapes.
172
So, um, sorry I got us into this whole thing.
173
So, then if if I mean, if you think about it, this is all your fault.
174
Yeah. Don't push it, though.
175
I got to say, I I know we divorce a lot of women.
176
Never thought I'd be divorcing you.
177
I know. I always thought if you and I got married that would be the one that stuck.
178
And it wouldn't be a secret and we wouldn't have our wedding dinner at Pizza Hut.
179
Did I Did I even treat No, it was on the house. It was It was a newlywed special.
180
That may be the most depressing thing I've heard in my life.
181
I I should probably get these to my lawyer's office.
182
Yeah. Hey, thanks Ross for taking care of all this.
183
Uh, no problem.
184
I'm going to need a copy of those.
185
Totally.

Why practice speaking with this video?

Practicing speaking with this video is beneficial for several reasons. First, the lively interaction between the characters Ross and Rachel provides real-life conversational context, which is essential for learning English naturally.

Moreover, analyzing the context of their humorous mishap can improve your understanding of cultural references, which is particularly important for IELTS speaking practice and general language proficiency.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

The video features various key structures and expressions that are useful for learners:

  • Future intentions: “We want to get married” indicates a planned action, useful for expressing future goals.
  • Conditional phrases: “If you’re drunk, they’ll let you get married” showcases how to express conditions smoothly.

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.
