I don't know.

I just don't know.

Sam, please, I have no more time to be a Christmas tree.

I've got a 9 :30 meeting with a new client.

Well, sweetheart, it'll only take a second.

And it's easier than lugging the real tree around.

Come on, honey, let's just put it where I was last year.

I don't know.

Oh, well, all right, all right, let's try.

Well, spread your arms, sweetheart, so I can get an idea of the width.

How's it?

Darren, trees don't stand that way.

Sag your branches a little.

That's better.

I'll see you tonight.

Now, you won't forget to pick the tree up on the way home.

No, honey, I won't.

And last year's tree was a little skimpy on one side, so don't buy the first one you see.

Hm?

Sam, believe me, no matter how spectacular the first tree I see is, I won't buy it.

But, but I still don't know where to put the...

Oh, God.

Oh, no. Perfect.

Merry Christmas.

Mr. Tate, I started out life as a poor boy.

Now I'm one of the richest men in America.

Do you know why?

No, sir.

Why?

Three things: persistence, prudence, and punctuality.

The three Ps.

The three peas.

I must remember that.

Yes, sir.

Those three little peas have served me all my life.

I never violate them.

And I won't stand for it when others do.

Absolutely right.

Good.

Then you'll understand when I say your man is late and I'm leaving.

Wait a minute, Mr. Portimer.

I'm sure there's a very good reason for daring to be...

I'm sorry I'm late, but you know what traffic is on the day before Christmas.

I told you there was a good reason.

I know you did and I'm still waiting to hear it.

Oh, right.

Let's get to it, Darren.

You know, tell Mr. Mortimer the lead concept you have for Mortimer Instant Soups.

Slow down, Larry.

This was a get acquainted meeting.

We plan to present your campaign brochure after the Christmas holidays. Did we?

Yes, Larry, we did.

Mr. Stevens, time is money and I see no reason to waste it.

That's right.

Waste not, want not.

Christmas is just another day to me.

Me too.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

It's hard to tell the difference.

Gentlemen, we're running late.

We'll have to discuss your campaign for Mortimer Soups tonight.

Be sure you're prepared.

But Mr. Mortimer, tonight is-- Right.

Tonight it is.

Good.

At my house.

Dinner at six.

Promptly.

But promptly it is.

Oh, my God.

Larry, what are you doing?

I can't make it tonight, I promise, Sam, we decorate our Christmas tree.

Darren, Mortimer Instant Soups is a $500 ,000 account.

That kind of decoration doesn't grow on Christmas trees.

I'm sorry, Larry, but a promise is a promise.

Then I'll make you a promise.

I promise the meeting will be short and sweet.

And another thing, I don't like the way Mortimer steps all over everybody.

Darren, for the kind of money we're talking about, a couple of footprints won't kill you.

Besides, we'll be out of there by eight.

Just leave it to your old Uncle Larry.

You know something?

Santa Claus should be here very, very soon.

Hurry up, Santa!

Wherever you are.

Oh, Merry Christmas!

And since Tabitha's been such a good little girl all year, Santa has a whole bag full of toys for her.

Oh, my.

There's a paid set for you.

And let's see what else...

A bear. And?

A surprise.

Oh, Tabitha, isn't that wonderful?

What do you say to Santa?

Daddy.

Oh, well, sweetheart, you were so good, I never would have guessed.

Sure.

Santa will get it.

Thank you.

100

Ho, ho, ho!

101

Ho, ho, ho yourself, Larry.

102

You recognize me, huh?

103

Hi, Larry.

104

Everybody recognizes me.

105

Daddy.

106

Well, almost everybody.

107

Ho, ho, ho, Tabitha!

108

- Oh, this is such a lovely surprise, isn't it, darling?

109

Lovely.

110

I tore myself away from Louise and little Jonathan to come over here and apologize.

111

In fact, Louise insisted on us.

112

But if that's the way you feel about it...

113

Larry, Darren.

114

Ho, ho, ho!

115

Well, who are you?

116

Oh, Kate, it's you.

117

You look ridiculous.

118

Hi, Mr. Mortimer.

119

Mr. Mortimer, uh...

120

- This is a surprise.

121

- I hope I'm not intruding.

122

Not at all.

123

Well, I mean, it, uh, it was sort of lonely at my house.

124

I thought you and Hawkins were going to stay home and celebrate Humbug.

125

Well, I sent Hawkins and his family to Lake Placid for the holidays.

126

As a Christmas present.

127

Come right in, Mr. Mortimer.

128

Sit down, Mr. Mortimer.

129

You look tired.

130

Well, I am tired.

131

I didn't get much rest last night.

132

I was very busy in my dream.

133

Thank you.

134

Aren't you tired, Mrs. Stevens?

135

Me?

136

Why should I be tired?

137

Oh, well, never mind.

138

Here, here.

139

Let me take your hat and coat.

140

Mr. Stevens, Mrs. Stevens, I...

141

I owe you an apology.

142

- What I mean is...

143

- We understand exactly what you mean.

144

Don't we, Darren?

145

Perfectly.

146

I don't understand anything.

147

Mr. Mortimer, Will you spend Christmas with us?

148

- Thank you, Mrs. Stevens.

149

- Call me Samantha.

150

This is for you, Darren.

151

- Samantha?

152

- Oh, you don't have to open it now.

153

I'll tell you what it is.

154

It's a case of Mortimer instant soups.

155

- Listen, everybody, how about some old -fashioned fruitcake?

156

I made it myself.

157

- And I'll whip up some coffee.

158

Irish.

159

You son of a girl.

160

- - Thank you.

161

Who's out there?

162

Excuse me, but is Mr. Claus very busy?

163

Of course he's very busy.

164

What do you think this is, the Fourth of July?

165

We won't keep him long.

166

Will you just tell him Samantha's here?

167

Who is Samantha?

168

Just tell him Samantha.

169

He'll know.

170

All right, but I'm not promising anything.

171

Do you suppose he'll see us?

172

Oh, I'm sure of it.

173

Have you known him?

174

THE FAMILY.

175

Oh yes.

176

A long time.

177

Yeah.

178

You'll be right out make yourselves at home I

179

The Samantha!

180

Thank you.

181

She's mad, sir.

182

What a pleasant surprise.

183

How are you, my dear?

184

Oh, just fine, Santa. And you?

185

Oh, just the same.

186

Always the same.

187

Oh, excuse me.

188

- Hey, Santa, this is my husband, Darren.

189

- How do you do?

190

- How do you do, Santa?

191

I'm very pleased to meet you, Michael.

192

Won't you sit down?

193

Come on, Michael.

194

Come and sit over here.

195

I'm sorry I haven't got much time to chat with you.

196

But I can at least offer you a cup of tea or...

197

A glass of milk, eh, Michael?

198

No, thank you, Santa.

199

Dennis?

200

- Daron, Santa.

201

- Oh, yes, sir, yes, sir. Of course.

202

Uh, no, uh, thank you.

203

Nothing for me, Santa.

204

Well, it must be something very important.

205

I brought you all the way up here.

206

What's the problem?

207

I think the problem's been solved by just being here.

208

Those aren't pillows, are they?

209

You know, my boy, sometimes I wish they were.

210

I've tried all kinds of diet, but nothing worked.

211

But then again, if I got too thin, my children might not recognize me.

212

I'd know you.

213

Yes, sir.

214

I think you would.

215

But what difference does it make how we look on the outside, eh?

216

It's what we feel.

217

on the inside that pounce, isn't it?

218

We all grow older.

219

And our eyes get weaker.

220

But what we've seen with our hearts remains forever a thing of joy and beauty.

221

Do you agree with that, sir?

222

Yes, I do, Senator.

223

Good.

224

Now I must be going.

225

I've talked long enough, but before I go, I want you to tell me what you'd like for Christmas.

226

I don't know.

227

I guess I haven't thought much about it.

228

Whoa.

229

Oh, well then, take your time.

230

Just take a little look around the display tables and pick out something nice for yourself, hmm? Or maybe... for someone else, hmm?

231

Remember, Michael...

232

The real happiness of Christmas isn't found in what we get.

233

Good work, we need him.

234

Larry was really a little shook up.

235

But I know he'll handle Mortimer beautifully.

236

In a pinch, old air always comes through.

237

Let me help you with the tinsel, honey.

238

This one branch is a little bald.

239

I wonder what Mr. Mortimer has against Christmas.

240

Probably the fact that people don't give Mortimer soup as gifts.

241

More tinsel, honey.

242

Sam, what are you doing?

243

I asked for more tinsel.

244

I gave it to you.

245

Honey, one piece of tinsel is not the same as more tinsel.

246

One piece at a time is the way to hang tinsel.

247

It gives the tree that delicate lacy look.

248

Hon, it's a Christmas tree, not a doily.

249

Oh, I'll get it.

250

You keep working.

251

Here you go.

252

One at a time.

253

Thank you.

254

- Oh, hi, Merrick.

255

- Hi, Sam.

256

I'd like you to meet Mr. Mortimer.

257

Mrs. Stevens.

258

Merry Christmas, Mr. Mortimer.

259

- I hope we're not interrupting anything.

260

Not at all.

261

Come on in.

262

Put your coats down.

263

Sweetheart, you'll never guess who's here.

264

- Surprise.

265

- I'll say.

266

Well, Mr. Mortimer and I had a very productive meeting after you left.

267

We came up with some great ideas, and since I knew you'd be dying to hear them, we didn't want to keep you in suspense.

268

Stevens, we came here to talk business.

269

Mr. Mortimer, nobody works on Christmas Eve.

270

Except Santa Claus.

271

Um...

272

Uh, how about a nice cup of eggnog?

273

No, thank you, young lady.

274

Stevens, we're wasting time.

275

Either we talk business or I'm leaving.

276

Which is it to be?

277

I'll lock you to the door.

278

Mr. Mortimer?

279

Larry?

280

I'll be delighted to join you in a business discussion the day after tomorrow.

281

Stevens, I take your refusal as a personal rejection.

282

I certainly didn't intend it that way.

283

Nobody rejects Jesse Mortimer.

284

Kate, I want this man on my account or there won't be an account.

285

He has 10 seconds to change his mind.

286

Darren, change your mind.

287

I can finish trimming the tree myself.

288

Samantha, I am going to help you finish the tree.

289

Then you're going to help me get the Santa Claus suit ready for Tabitha's surprise in the morning.

290

Two seconds.

291

I refuse to be intimidated.

292

It's a matter of principle.

293

Time's up.

294

Gentlemen.

295

Mortimer Supes will take its business elsewhere.

296

Whoa, whoa, wait, Mr. Mortimer.

297

Mr. Mortimer, wait.

298

I can explain everything.

299

Darren was just...

300

Mr. Mortimer?

301

He's gone.

302

A $500 ,000 account.

303

Darren, how could you do this to me?

304

especially at christmas Look, there's a precious present.

305

Oh, sweetheart, that's terrific.

306

Now, uh...

307

Tabitha.

308

This is the first time that you've ever had anyone spend the night.

309

And I want to make sure that you remember everything I told you.

310

I'm supposed to share my toys and don't fly.

311

No flying and no witchcraft of any kind.

312

It'll be like having a temporary sister for a couple of days.

313

I always say I have a real sister, because they don't break things all the time.

314

Adam didn't mean to break your jack -of -the -box, did you, sweetheart?

315

Adam.

316

What's going on?

317

Oh, just a little sibling quibbling.

318

It'll pass.

319

That's them.

320

Have you had that talk with Tabitha?

321

Yeah, I did.

322

Everything's fine.

323

Hi there.

324

Good morning.

325

Hi, Darren.

326

How are you?

327

Good to see you.

328

Hi, Larry.

329

Hi, Sam.

330

Ty.

331

And you're Lisa.

332

Hello, Mr. Stevens.

333

It's nice meeting you.

334

It's nice meeting you too, Lisa.

335

We're very happy you're going to stay with us.

336

Especially me.

337

Because you're gonna be my tam -ma, tam -per.

338

That's temporary.

339

As in sisters.

340

Right!

341

Come on, Lisa, I'll show you the tree.

342

And don't forget to introduce Lisa to Adam.

343

Do I have to?

344

Yes.

345

Thank you.

346

Come on in, everybody.

347

We haven't got time, Sam.

348

We've got to get to the airport.

349

I'll just say a last goodbye to Lisa.

350

You've been saying goodbye all the way over here.

351

Ha ha! Have fun, sweetheart.

352

We'll be back before Santa Claus comes.

353

Oh, Blockway called.

354

He wants to meet us at the office this afternoon to go over the layout revisions.

355

- I'll be there.

356

- Good.

357

If you land Brockway and Keith comes home with a Fenmore account, We'll really have a white Christmas.

358

Watch that.

359

Bye bye.

360

Well, shall we finish trimming the tree?

361

I've got a little work to do.

362

Final touches on the Brockway layouts.

363

Oh, okay.

364

Then we'll go to the park.

365

How does that sound?

366

Goodie.

367

I'll get my coat.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
