1
What grade are you in?
2
Eighth. You?
3
Tenth. Cool.
4
Nobody asked, but fourth.
5
Why do grownups do this?
6
They love to stick random kids together and expect them to just be friends.
7
I know. I hate that.
8
Fresh Prince is right.
9
Parents just don't understand.
10
(chuckles) I love that song.
11
MISSY: I have a cassette of it, but I recorded it off the radio.
12
You can hear Sheldon in the background saying stuff about Sir Isaac Neutron.
13
Ugh, my sister's always talking about him.
14
I don't know why.
15
I think he's dead.
16
You have no idea how much it sucks to have a brother like him.
17
Believe it or not, he's in my class.
18
My parents sent Paige to a private school.
19
Cool. We're too poor for that.
20
(sighs) Does Sheldon make you feel stupid?
21
Nah, I'm smart in other ways.
22
Me, too. Hey, I saw an old TV in the alley.
23
Want to go throw rocks at it?
24
Cool! Hell yeah! Let's do it.
25
We could play traditional chess.
26
Or if you're interested, we could play a variant with a new piece I invented.
27
That sounds fun.
28
What's the new piece?
29
A wizard. The wizard cannot be taken, and, at any point, he can teleport and switch places with any other piece.
30
Yes, but there's an obvious flaw.
31
What flaw? Well, any time anyone is checkmated, they can simply have the wizard and their king switch places.
32
So the game will never end.
33
I knew that. You passed my test.
34
We told Paige that if she won the regional spelling bee, she could get a puppy.
35
We ended up with two, 'cause she won twice. (chuckles) (chuckles): Fun! That-That's fun.
36
BARRY: All right, that's enough about Paige.
37
So, George, I know you're a football coach.
38
What about you, Mary?
39
I work part-time at the church.
40
Oh. Oh, that's so nice.
41
I used to work at the practice with Barry, but I had to quit once Paige's schedule started to get busy. Mm.
42
Well, that's understandable.
43
A unique child can require a lot of attention.
44
(Barry chuckles) Mm. Try all the attention. Hmm?
45
(chuckles): Okay. You know that's not true, Barry. Well...
46
(chuckles) She's...
47
she's right. It's not.
48
Although I did spend Father's Day alone 'cause she took Paige to a robotics show.
49
Okay. That's enough, Barry.
50
They don't need to hear all this.
51
(chuckles) GEORGE SR.: That's okay.
52
(stammers) That's why we're getting together, you know, talk about this kind of stuff.
53
Barry, it sounds like you might be feeling left out.
54
Oh. (chuckles) No.
55
(laughs) Sometimes I do.
56
And it's not just me. It's Erica, too.
57
Oh, now he's just being dramatic.
58
Erica gets a lot of attention, and she's just a joy. (chuckles) Dang it, the screen won't break.
59
Bet it'll break if we blow it up.
60
(whispers): I love her.
61
Fine, you're right.
62
Erica's doing just great.
63
Nothing to worry about there.
64
(chuckles) ERICA: Oh, come on.
65
You got any matches?
66
Be right back.
67
While she's gone, you want to make out?
68
Sure. You actually believe in the multiverse theory?
69
Very much so.
70
It's the most elegant interpretation of quantum mechanics.
71
So you really think there are an infinite number of universes?
72
Stephen Hawking believes it, so, yes, I do.
73
Well, if there are an infinite number of universes, I think that theory's dumb in all of them.
74
(chuckles) This is fun.
75
I don't get to have discussions like this with kids at my school.
76
Do you? No.
77
Do you ever wish you were just like everyone else?
78
Not at all.
79
(chuckles) Me neither.
80
I love being smarter than everyone. (chuckles) Me, too.
81
ADULT SHELDON: I started to think that Paige and I might have more in common than I thought.
82
Maybe my mother was right.
83
I really did just need to get to know her better.
84
Checkmate! You lose. (chuckles) KIRK: Red alert. (alarm sounding) Phasers stand by to fire on my order.
85
Guess that makes me the smartest.
86
ADULT SHELDON: I don't know if ten-year-old Spock ever flipped a chess board, but ten-year-old Sheldon sure did.

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.
