1
I don't know.
2
I just don't know.
3
Sam, please, I have no more time to be a Christmas tree.
4
I've got a 9 :30 meeting with a new client.
5
Well, sweetheart, it'll only take a second.
6
And it's easier than lugging the real tree around.
7
Come on, honey, let's just put it where I was last year.
8
I don't know.
9
Oh, well, all right, all right, let's try.
10
Well, spread your arms, sweetheart, so I can get an idea of the width.
11
How's it?
12
Darren, trees don't stand that way.
13
Sag your branches a little.
14
That's better.
15
I'll see you tonight.
16
Now, you won't forget to pick the tree up on the way home.
17
No, honey, I won't.
18
And last year's tree was a little skimpy on one side, so don't buy the first one you see.
19
Hm?
20
Sam, believe me, no matter how spectacular the first tree I see is, I won't buy it.
21
But, but I still don't know where to put the...
22
Oh, God.
23
Oh, no. Perfect.
24
Merry Christmas.
25
Mr. Tate, I started out life as a poor boy.
26
Now I'm one of the richest men in America.
27
Do you know why?
28
No, sir.
29
Why?
30
Three things: persistence, prudence, and punctuality.
31
The three Ps.
32
The three peas.
33
I must remember that.
34
Yes, sir.
35
Those three little peas have served me all my life.
36
I never violate them.
37
And I won't stand for it when others do.
38
Absolutely right.
39
Good.
40
Then you'll understand when I say your man is late and I'm leaving.
41
Wait a minute, Mr. Portimer.
42
I'm sure there's a very good reason for daring to be...
43
I'm sorry I'm late, but you know what traffic is on the day before Christmas.
44
I told you there was a good reason.
45
I know you did and I'm still waiting to hear it.
46
Oh, right.
47
Let's get to it, Darren.
48
You know, tell Mr. Mortimer the lead concept you have for Mortimer Instant Soups.
49
Slow down, Larry.
50
This was a get acquainted meeting.
51
We plan to present your campaign brochure after the Christmas holidays. Did we?
52
Yes, Larry, we did.
53
Mr. Stevens, time is money and I see no reason to waste it.
54
That's right.
55
Waste not, want not.
56
Christmas is just another day to me.
57
Me too.
58
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
59
It's hard to tell the difference.
60
Gentlemen, we're running late.
61
We'll have to discuss your campaign for Mortimer Soups tonight.
62
Be sure you're prepared.
63
But Mr. Mortimer, tonight is-- Right.
64
Tonight it is.
65
Good.
66
At my house.
67
Dinner at six.
68
Promptly.
69
But promptly it is.
70
Oh, my God.
71
Larry, what are you doing?
72
I can't make it tonight, I promise, Sam, we decorate our Christmas tree.
73
Darren, Mortimer Instant Soups is a $500 ,000 account.
74
That kind of decoration doesn't grow on Christmas trees.
75
I'm sorry, Larry, but a promise is a promise.
76
Then I'll make you a promise.
77
I promise the meeting will be short and sweet.
78
And another thing, I don't like the way Mortimer steps all over everybody.
79
Darren, for the kind of money we're talking about, a couple of footprints won't kill you.
80
Besides, we'll be out of there by eight.
81
Just leave it to your old Uncle Larry.
82
You know something?
83
Santa Claus should be here very, very soon.
84
Hurry up, Santa!
85
Wherever you are.
86
Oh, Merry Christmas!
87
And since Tabitha's been such a good little girl all year, Santa has a whole bag full of toys for her.
88
Oh, my.
89
There's a paid set for you.
90
And let's see what else...
91
A bear. And?
92
A surprise.
93
Oh, Tabitha, isn't that wonderful?
94
What do you say to Santa?
95
Daddy.
96
Oh, well, sweetheart, you were so good, I never would have guessed.
97
Sure.
98
Santa will get it.
99
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.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
