Yuck!

The maudlin music of the university station.

Wah, wah, wah.

What is it about college and crybaby music?

Hey!

She's watching the Galleria.

So, the final shirt deal, is that a nod to the crispy Seattle weather, or are you just trying to stay warm in front of the refrigerator?

Oh, wow, you're filling out there.

Oh, wow, your face is catching up with your mouth.

I went by Dad's office.

He is not your dad.

Why don't you torture your new family?

Just because my mother marries someone else doesn't mean he's my father.

Actually, Cato, that's exactly what it means.

I hope you're not thinking of staying here.

I sure want to.

I'm sure you do.

I got a place in Westwood near school.

Shouldn't you go to school on the East Coast?

I hear girls at NYU aren't in all particular.

You're funny.

What's your problem, Bevis?

Infantry, furiously trading machine gun fire.

God, you just got here and already you're playing couch commando?

Hey, in some parts of the universe, maybe not in contempo casual, but in some parts, it's considered cool to know what's going on in the world.

Thank you, Josh.

I so need lessons from you on how to be cool.

Tell me that part about Kenny G again.

Come on, you chuckleheads, get in here!

Josh, are you still growing?

You look taller than you did at Easter.

I don't think so.

Doesn't he look bigger?

His head does.

So, Josh, have you given any thought to a little discussion about corporate law?

Yeah, you know, but I think I'd really like to check out environmental law.

What for?

You want to have a miserable, frustrating life?

Oh, Josh will have that no matter what he does.

At least he knows what he wants to do, and he's in a good college.

I'd like to see you have a little bit of direction.

I have direction.

Yeah, towards the mall.

Which reminds me, where's your report card?

It's not ready yet.

What do you mean, it's not ready yet?

Well, some teachers were trying to lowball me, Daddy.

And I know how you say never accept a first offer, so I figure these grades are just a jumping-up point to start negotiations.

Very good.

Dee?

Hello?

Yeah, Jake, what?

No, not the afternoon!

You're such a brown-noser.

Oh, and you were such a superficial space today.

I told you I wanted it in the morning!

What makes you think you can get teachers to change your grades?

Doesn't he understand?

Only the fact that I've done it every other semester.

I wanted it in the morning!

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
