1
It really is a lovely home, Monica.
2
Too bad it's out of my budget.
3
Oh, well, no problem.
4
Hope you enjoyed the cookies.
5
Since that's the only reason why you came.
6
Freeloader.
7
Hi, welcome.
8
Oh, it's you.
9
What?
10
Is that how you greet your fiancé when he brings you lunch?
11
Really, Ryan McDonald's?
12
McDonald's?
13
Yeah.
14
This is a quick stand I could grab since I'm on my way to the tech conference.
15
AKA the event for people who don't have jobs?
16
Oh, not necessarily.
17
Maybe I'll get some of the fun in my app.
18
Conferences are great for networking.
19
Yeah, also great for wasting time if you ask me. Is everything alright?
20
No. This whole open house has been a disaster.
21
All I've gotten so far is broke people who can't even afford this place.
22
I see it.
23
Whatever, are we still on for dinner tonight?
24
I've really been wanting to try Giovanni's.
25
I keep hearing amazing things.
26
So hear me out.
27
What if we do Darla's Diner instead?
28
They have really great steak and they also have that discount Tuesday menu.
29
Look, okay, Giovanni's one, it's like impossible to get a table, but it's also really expensive.
30
Look, when my app takes off, you already know.
31
I promise, I'm taking you wherever you want to go.
32
Yeah, you've been saying that for years now, Ryan.
33
Honestly, I just, I don't want to hear it anymore.
34
I have to get back to work.
35
One of us has to make some money.
36
And honestly, just take this with you.
37
Just the smell of it is making me gag.
38
And if you're going to get me fast food, can you at least make it Chick-fil-A?
39
Okay.
40
Alright, I'll see you tonight.
41
Oh!
42
Hello!
43
Hello!
44
Uh, welcome.
45
Uh, Monica?
46
Yeah.
47
Oh, I knew you were attractive from your picture, but, uh, you're much prettier in person.
48
Oh, thank you.
49
That's really sweet of you to say.
50
By the way, I'm Frank.
51
Frank Jones.
52
So nice to meet you, Frank Jones.
53
Uh, yeah, feel free to, um, look around.
54
No need.
55
I own multiple properties in this neighborhood.
56
I was thinking of adding this one to my portfolio as well.
57
Really?
58
As in, you'd like to put in an offer?
59
Yeah.
60
Full price asking and cash, of course.
61
Great!
62
Under one condition.
63
Well, what is it?
64
You let me take you out to dinner.
65
Oh, um, yeah.
66
Just to discuss business, of course.
67
There's a lot of properties here I'd like to invest in.
68
I needed a good agent to represent me.
69
We could make a lot of money together.
70
Well, I do like the sound of that.
71
So what are you thinking?
72
I'm thinking...
73
Why the heck are we eating in this place to begin with?
74
Hey, do you guys need longer or...
75
No, no, it's okay.
76
I will have the lobster tail and a glass of the Prosecco, please.
77
Excellent choice.
78
Just so you know, seafood and champagne is not included in the Tuesday specials.
79
Those are full price.
80
Yeah, well, get the rib off?
81
That's what I always get.
82
It's really good and it's half off.
83
No, that's okay.
84
I will stick with the lobster tail.
85
Maybe no champagne.
86
Okay, never mind.
87
All right, so in that case, I think I'll just do like a Caesar salad, But the appetizer, it's not the big portion.
88
And I'll just do a water.
89
Thank you.
90
It's your tail.
91
You kind of cough a little bit.
92
Oh my gosh, Ryan.
93
I will pay for it.
94
Because earlier today, do you remember that guy that came in right as you were leaving?
95
Mm-hmm.
96
Well, it turns out he's a big fish.
97
He put in a full cash offer on the house, a listing price.
98
Wow.
99
Well that's awesome babe.
100
Congrats.
101
But that guy, there was something a little off about him.
102
Like, he was flirting with you.
103
Brian, stop.
104
That's just how the industry works.
105
Besides, that doesn't matter.
106
What does matter is how big this commission check I'm about to get is gonna be.
107
Plus other ones.
108
Yeah, I'm finally going to have enough to replace this thing.
109
Replace it?
110
That's my grandma's.
111
Exactly.
112
That's why it needs to go.
113
I mean, soon I'm going to have enough to replace all of our things.
114
I mean, my engagement ring, my car, our crappy apartment.
115
What's wrong with our apartment?
116
Okay, fine.
117
But it's just, take it slow.
118
We don't need to get ahead of ourselves.
119
And in case you were wondering, my day went well too.
120
The networking event went really well.
121
I met a couple investors who were actually in- Oh, hold on, it's Frank Jones, don't say anything.
122
Hey, there's those pretty eyes.
123
So listen, there's another house I want to put an offer on, and I want you to be the agent.
124
How about we meet tomorrow for some champagne to talk about it?
125
Yeah, yeah, that sounds amazing.
126
Awesome.
127
Okay, it's a date then.
128
I'll meet you where I saw you today.
129
I'll see you soon, gorgeous.
130
Bye. Did you hear that?
131
I just struck gold with this guy.
132
I mean, I hit the jackpot.
133
It's a date then?
134
Why didn't you say anything to correct him?
135
Really, Ryan?
136
That's what you take away from that.
137
Why are you always trying to rain on my parade?
138
I want you to be happy.
139
I really do.
140
But I also want to feel comfortable.
141
So this guy is putting an offer down on your listing
142
and then also wants to buy another house at the same time before he's closed the first one.
143
Doesn't something about that feel a little off?
144
No, not at all.
145
Okay, that's just how rich people roll.
146
Wait, are you jealous?
147
You are.
148
You're jealous because I found my golden ticket and you haven't.
149
I cannot be jealous of you.
150
Monica, we are a team.
151
It makes me happy to see you do well.
152
I'm just saying that, look, not everything that glitters Turns out to be gold. So just be careful.
153
Do you think I should do three-carat or four?
154
Definitely four.
155
To us, getting our first deal accepted.
156
I love Prosecco.
157
And I see you're not worried about being wasteful.
158
Not at all.
159
We're celebrating.
160
And life is meant to be celebrated.
161
I wish everyone felt that way.
162
My fiance Ryan on the other hand.
163
Well...
164
You know what?
165
Never mind.
166
Cheers.
167
Tell me about that new house that you were talking about on the phone.
168
Oh, um, well, it's listed at 1.2 million, but I see we offer them 1 million flat and then see what they say.
169
What do you think?
170
I mean, I think they would be fools not to take it, especially since you're waiving contingencies and closing within 21 days.
171
I'll just need proof of funds, which I also need from you for my seller.
172
Oh, yeah, I'll get that over to you soon.
173
You know what?
174
We should go out to dinner tonight to celebrate.
175
I mean, don't you think it's a little early to celebrate?
176
Maybe we should wait until one of our deals closes.
177
Sure, I mean, understood.
178
I guess Giovanni's can wait.
179
I'm sorry, did you say Giovanni's?
180
I did.
181
Oh, I've been dying to go there, but you know, I heard it's really hard to get a table.
182
Yeah, for most people it is.
183
Not for Frank Jones.
184
I'll just call him and tell him we're on the way.
185
Wait, you know the owner?
186
Listen, sweetheart.
187
I can get you anything you've ever wanted with just a snap of my fingers, okay?
188
You want a door open?
189
It's going to be open.
190
I think you and I could start a real empire together.
191
And then you'll have more money than you know what to do with.
192
I mean, how's that sound, huh?
193
Pretty eyes.
194
I mean, that sounds...
195
What's going on here?
196
Oh!
197
Um...
198
Ryan!
199
Uh, what are you doing here?
200
Well, I came to bring you lunch.
201
It looks like you're a little busy, though.
202
I'll just go.
203
No, um, wait, where are you?
204
I'm sorry, I will be right back.
205
Ryan?
206
That fast food better not be for you.
207
Ryan, wait.
208
That's just how the industry works.
209
Just a man can put his hands on an engaged woman's face.
210
But I knew there was something off about him.
211
I want you to stop all contact with him immediately.
212
I can't do that.
213
Do you have any idea how much money I'm about to make?
214
I can't keep living broke.
215
I am tired of riding around in your crappy car
216
and of this old ring and never being able to afford to experience the nicer things in life.
217
And it's not like you're going to provide any of those things for me.
218
There's more to life than just money, Monica.
219
Like what?
220
I am sorry, Ryan, but as the breadwinner of this relationship, I will not stop seeing him.
221
It's either him or me.
222
What's it gonna be?
223
I can't make that decision.
224
You just have.
225
Have a good life, Monica.
226
I just wanted to...
227
I just wanted to give you this.
228
It's not like it's worth anything anyways.
229
Ryan is heartbroken, but Monica on the other hand is ready to start her
230
new life of life of riches she continues to spend time with Frank and is
231
so excited about all the money she's going to make as he continues to put more offers on houses
232
but what she soon comes to find out is
233
that Frank doesn't really have the money to buy any of the homes he's putting offers on.
234
He was lying to impress Monica to be with him.
235
To make things worse, Monica's devastated to realize she's not the only one he's playing this game with.
236
He was putting on an act with lots of other women around town too.
237
Several months later she's in for a big surprise.
238
Hi welcome to Giovanni's.
239
Do you have a reservation?
240
Um no, I was actually wondering if you're hiring.
241
Now I don't have any restaurant experience but if you- Monica?
242
Ryan!
243
Hi, um, what are you doing here?
244
Just finished eating.
245
You eating here too?
246
Hey if so, caviar is amazing.
247
You need to try it.
248
Okay, thank you.
249
Um, I'm just really surprised to see you here.
250
You know, considering.
251
Excuse me, Sarah.
252
I just wanted to let you know that your Porsche is ready.
253
Oh, thank you so much.
254
I'll be right there.
255
I'm sorry, are you driving a Porsche?
256
Okay, I don't understand.
257
Did you win the lottery or something?
258
No. Hey, sorta.
259
I know you never believed in that app idea, but I actually got funding from investors at that tech conference conference and I don't know, things just blew up from there.
260
Wow, that's that's incredible.
261
Not that I ever had any doubts.
262
I always knew that he would be successful.
263
Anyways, I've been doing some thinking and maybe you and I should try things again.
264
What about Frank?
265
Frank Jones, your new rich guy.
266
Yeah about that.
267
It turns out you were right.
268
Not everything that glitters turns out to be gold.
269
And I really wish that I had listened to you back then.
270
Frank Jones isn't even his real name.
271
Whatever, it's a long story.
272
The important part is that I miss you.
273
Is the car out of my story?
274
Yes, it is, babe.
275
You ready to go?
276
Yeah.
277
Right.
278
Yeah.
279
Now that you have money, other girls want to date you.
280
I'm sorry, Jasmine.
281
This is...
282
Let me guess.
283
Your ex, Monica.
284
I heard all about you.
285
And for the record, I was with Ryan before he even had anything.
286
Yes, it's true.
287
We got together before I received any of the funding.
288
I mean, even now she hates when I spend money.
289
I told him I was perfectly fine with fast food rather than coming here to spend $1,000.
290
Even when I tried to buy her a five-carat ring, she convinced me not to.
291
Because I'm perfectly happy with his grandmother's ring.
292
I'm so sorry.
293
I just got an email from our manager.
294
We actually don't have any jobs available.
295
Sorry.
296
Oh.
297
Oh, you're...
298
Oh, okay.
299
Um, well, you know, it was good seeing you, Monica, and best of luck with the job search.
300
Thank you.
301
You ready to go?
302
Yeah.
303
Yeah.

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.
