1
Ladies and gentlemen, would you please open your supply catalogs and kindly turn to page 85.
2
Yo, is this his new chair?
3
No, he hasn't picked one yet. That.
4
When Pam gets Michael's old chair, I get Pam's old chair.
5
Then I'll have two chairs.
6
Only one to go.
7
I am ready to start dating again.
8
Getting back on the market.
9
So, FYI, for those of you who are thinking about fixing me up with any of your friends,
10
use the woman on page 85 as a template.
11
That will be all.
12
Listen, man, I am completely over, Chan.
13
So, would you set me up?
14
If I had somebody to set you up with, Michael, then I'd take her for myself.
15
I thought you were engaged.
16
Nope.
17
Stacy broke up with me.
18
What?
19
God, that's terrible, man.
20
Yeah, she's crazy.
21
Um, are you still on good terms with any of her friends?
22
Not anymore.
23
It's a bitter situation.
24
Oh, she's...
25
You don't deserve her.
26
All right.
27
Oh, little Oscar Mayer Wiener.
28
I love her.
29
I bet that you have a bunch of very liberal girl girl-type friends who trust you implicitly
30
because they know you'd never touch them because of your condition.
31
Um...
32
Michael?
33
What?
34
I have a friend who's single.
35
Oh.
36
Sandy.
37
She's gorgeous, and she's got a feisty personality, too.
38
Hmm, feisty.
39
So she's not jolly or sassy?
40
Not like a jolly, sassy opera singer?
41
No, she's a professional softball player.
42
Ooh.
43
Catcher or infield?
44
I don't know, Michael.
45
Is she a dress wearer or a pants wearer?
46
Could we share a rowboat?
47
Could a rowboat support her?
48
What are you asking?
49
I think I'm being very clear what I'm asking.
50
Would an average-size rowboat support her without capsizing?
51
It bothers me that you're not answering the question.
52
No, all right?
53
No, she can't fit in a rowboat.
54
Damn!
55
I knew it!
56
I knew it, Phyllis!
57
Okay, what is wrong with these people?
58
I would do anything for them, and they're just hanging me out to dry.
59
Dating shouldn't be hard for somebody like me, but it is.
60
And you know why?
61
Because nobody here is willing to help me.
62
Nothing would ever get done in this office without a formal request, would it?
63
Well, fine.
64
Here goes.
65
I don't think that this is...
66
Now, okay, I know that this is probably not appropriate. But I need help.
67
because I want to play ball with my kids before I get too old.
68
And before that happens, I need to get laid.
69
And before that happens, I need to be in love.
70
And I don't want to hear, I don't know, I can't help.
71
No, no, I'm a catch, and I am not going to be the one who got away.
72
So this is what we're going to do.
73
Dwight is going to hand out index cards, and I want you all to write down the name of
74
an eligible woman for me to date by the end of the day.
75
No, by the end of the hour, or you are fired.
76
Write legibly, people.
77
Okay.
78
Wendy.
79
Hot and juicy redhead.
80
Give this a try.
81
Wendy's.
82
Hello, Wendy.
83
This is Kevin's friend, Michael.
84
This isn't Wendy.
85
Oh, I'm sorry.
86
Could you put her on, please?
87
Dude, this is a Wendy's restaurant.
88
Damn it, Kevin.
89
Okay.
90
Um, could I just have a Frosty and a baked potato, please?
91
You have to come to the restaurant to order food.
92
Well, send somebody to pick it up.
93
Just have it ready.
94
It's ready now.
95
Well, put it aside.
96
Um...
97
Okay, I have collected the rest of the ladies.
98
Good.
99
Good.
100
Because this batch was awful.
101
Um, this one says chair model.
102
I wrote that.
103
Michael, you shouldn't have to settle.
104
This is my pledge to you.
105
I will find her, and I will bring her to you.
106
And as God is my witness, she shall bear your fruit. That sounds good.
107
Go get her.
108
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
109
First, go to Wendy's, get my food, come back and then go.
110
So, Pammy, are you still liking sales?
111
Yeah, it's exciting.
112
You know, Michael and I were talking and maybe if you put a little more face-to-face time with your clients, you could improve your sales.
113
Pam, sales are fine, actually.
114
I just want you to succeed, Pammy.
115
You know what?
116
We shouldn't even be talking about business today.
117
Thank you.
118
Today's about family.
119
Why did I get in the car?
120
I could have struggled.
121
I have a whistle in my purse.
122
I didn't even blow it.
123
Wow!
124
Michael, you did all this?
125
Not about taking credit.
126
Let's just say we all did it.
127
Well, thank you, all of you.
128
Well, it was actually me alone, so...
129
Oh, look at this place.
130
Really makes me want to go to Italy someday.
131
Oh, you'll love it.
132
You can have my guidebooks.
133
I think I'm done with this really long plane rights.
134
Thank you for...
135
Thanks for lending me the book.
136
So, Mom, which birthday are we celebrating this year?
137
Oh, sticking with 49.
138
49 again?
139
That's nine years in a row.
140
This is now our longest family tradition.
141
That's funny.
142
Well, as long as you're running numbers, Pam, help me out with this one.
143
Let's see, honey, you're six months pregnant, but you've only been married for 30 days, so what does that add up to?
144
Ooh, burn.
145
Burn on you.
146
And a little bit on me, too.
147
You're 54 years old.
148
No, I'm 58.
149
You're 58 years old?
150
Uh-huh.
151
Congratulations.
152
The only time you should care about a woman's age is if she is too young for you.
153
And I am not robbing the cradle.
154
If anything, I am robbing the grave.
155
Mom, have you decided what you want to be called?
156
I like Nana, but I also like the classic Grandma.
157
Please be Grandma.
158
Definitely Grandma.
159
I want you to be Grandma.
160
Oh, Michael, what do you think?
161
Grandma? That?
162
Yay, Grandma.
163
So we should get the check?
164
What about your gift, Michael?
165
Oh, no, no, no. No. It's stupid.
166
You'd hate it.
167
I hate it.
168
I'm sure I won't.
169
Yes, you will.
170
He locked himself in his office all morning, working on it.
171
Gimme.
172
Look at this wrapping paper.
173
It's got the word love on it in every language.
174
I literally...
175
I put no thought into the wrapping at all.
176
Might as well have been toilet paper.
177
A scrapbook of our first memories by Michael Gary Scott from my girlfriend Helene on your birthday.
178
That's just an arbitrary title.
179
Okay, here's a penny.
180
What's that from?
181
Penny for your thoughts.
182
It was from the wishing well at the mall.
183
You threw it in, I went back later, weighed it in, and I found it.
184
That's amazing!
185
It's not amazing at all.
186
It's sort of weird that I went and did that.
187
And now your wish won't come true, so that blows.
188
A poem.
189
Oh, that I plagiarized, I think.
190
I cannot go to school today, said little Peggy Ann McKay.
191
She doesn't understand.
192
Yeah.
193
I have the measles and the mumps, a gash, a rash, and purple bumps, and my teachers really mean happy birthday.
194
I love you, Helene.
195
It's really nice, Michael.
196
Wow.
197
I think it sucks.
198
Helene, I think you're a wonderful person, and I...
199
God, I've enjoyed dating you and being your boyfriend so much, but I have to consider Pam's feelings.
200
As a friend and a co-worker, I cannot in good conscience continue to date you when I know what this is doing to her.
201
Michael.
202
Michael, it's okay.
203
No, it's not.
204
I know that it took me a little while to come around, and it's still a little weird to get used to, but you obviously make my mom very happy.
205
And that makes me happy.
206
Wow, that just.. you've really grown.
207
Well...
208
Oh, thank you, Pam.
209
And I hope you were as gracious during this next part.
210
Helene, once again, you are a wonderful person, and you have lived a great life, and I envy it.
211
And I want it someday, but just in the future.
212
You need somebody who understands your references.
213
Who is Kafkaesque?
214
I've never...
215
I don't know him.
216
There's another woman, and her name is Italy, and skydiving, and bungee jumping.
217
Okay, so...
218
And I want kids.
219
And you, unfortunately, have already completed that part of your journey down there.
220
Michael...
221
It's not my decision, it's Mother Nature.
222
And Mother has very strict rules about for...
223
Utility.
224
Oh, yeah, I got it.
225
I'm 58.
226
What am I supposed to do now?
227
Well, Javi...
228
Stop.
229
How do I feel about losing the sale?
230
It's like if Michael Phelps came out of retirement, jumped in the pool, belly flopped, and drowned.
231
You know who we always lose out to?
232
Staples, the big guys big guys osprey they're a small company
233

234

240
and tell me you're not a diabetic See, I could tell by the sound you made when you stood up that you have...
241
Okay, yes, Phyllis?
242
I could try to seduce him.
243
Oh, my God!
244
I know how we can learn his tricks.
245
What I'm about to show you is of the utmost secrecy.
246
Is that your office?
247
Yes, Jim.
248
And with a little tweaking, it becomes a different office.
249
We lure Danny to it and watch him sell.
250
Oh.
251
I'm out of here.
252
This is weird.
253
You know what this is?
254
This is a stinger.
255
The what?
256
Like a movie.
257
I think you mean The Sting.
258
Paul Newman, Robert Redford, the bank robber, they'll call it The Sting.
259
The Sting.
260
You're two o'clock?
261
Thanks, hon. Meredith was the perfect choice to play the head of the company.
262
Her lunch break lined up with our appointment with Danny, and that's it.
263
That's really all we were looking for.
264
Danny Cordray, it's great to meet you.
265
Meredith Van Helsing, we used to meet you.
266
Meredith Van Helsing?
267
Van Helsing was a respected professor before he was a vampire killer.
268
Okay, but what is he more famous for?
269
Shh.
270
Hey, it's my mug.
271
You know this isn't real TV, right?
272
Yes.
273
Hello.
274
Oh, no. No. No, don't.
275
People can't keep their true natures hidden for long, and this guy is smoldering like a tire fire.
276
Testify.
277
Okay, he's not that good-looking.
278
Yeah.
279
I understand why everybody's obsessed with this.
280
He is that good-looking.
281
He's very, very handsome.
282
That's a great set of shoulders you got there.
283
What is that?
284
Genetics, creatine...
285
Sorry.
286
Yeah.
287
Pull it together, all right?
288
Stop looking at him.
289
I'm sorry.
290
You're here to sell me some paper.
291
Well, actually, uh, no, Miss Van Helsing, that's not why I'm here.
292
I'm here to meet you, see if we'd be a, you know, good fit.
293
What do you mean?
294
Oh, my God.
295
He's making her sell to him.
296
We should think of this as a first date.
297
I think it's going very well.
298
How about you?
299
Real well.
300
Feels more like a third date to me.
301
There you go.
302
Shame.
303
Then let me do this.
304
You know, what is with this desk keeping us so far apart?
305
I've never been a desk man.
306
Always traveling on the road.
307
Hey, come on.
308
Why not?
309
Huh?
310
You know, I get this.
311
Oh, man.
312
So, what's your drink?
313
Your vodka man?
314
Me too.
315
We gotta get someone else in there right now.
316
You're an exec at Pennsylvania Solar Tech.
317
That sounds fake.
318
I told you, you're an exec at Stark Industries, a corporation you inherited from your father.
319
Here's the story.
320
They need Meredith somewhere else ASAP, okay?
321
So you're taking over, you just gotta get her out of there.
322
As soon as you can.
323
What kind of guy can do that, then what?
324
Then make him pitch to you.
325
You gotta see what he's got, exactly.
326
Okay, and remember, you can do this.
327
You're not gay.
328
Stop it.
329
It's going to be great.
330
Listen, if anything else happens, just roll with it.
331
Meredith.
332
Oh, Manuel.
333
This is Manuel, my cleaning man.
334
He doesn't speak any English.
335
Hola, ¿qué tal?
336
¿Cómo estás?
337
Manuel, clino el window.
338
You don't need to speak.
339
Close the yard.
340
Okay, you're a young hotshot from Stark Industries.
341
You've just bought this company.
342
Meredith is fired.
343
It's a whole new regime.
344
He's got to pitch to you now.
345
Okay, Stark Industries isn't real.
346
I run Google.
347
Larry and Sergei brought me in.
348
Great, sounds awesome.
349
Just have him pitch to you.
350
Don't let us down. Will do.
351
Won't do.
352
Yeah, sure.
353
Smell like a Scorpio.
354
This is Esteban, another cleaning man.
355
He doesn't speak English either.
356
Esteban El Floro.
357
You know what?
358
I may have parked my car in a compact space and I hate when I see others do that.
359
Danny, I feel a real connection to you and I gotta get real.
360
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm going in.
361
I'm going in.
362
No, stop it!
363
Stop, stop!
364
Oh my God!
365
Okay, stop it, stop it!
366
Stop it!
367
Gross!
368
Stop it!
369
Please, everybody stop!
370
Michael Scott?
371
I said stop.
372
Your journey begins now.
373
Do you know where we are, Tim?
374
I know where we're not.
375
I hold in my hand a beet seed.
376
Take it.
377
Ah! When...
378
Damn it.
379
And just as you have planted your seed in the ground, I am going to plant my seed in you.
380
I think you know what you're saying.
381
Smells pretty bad, doesn't it?
382
Uh-huh.
383
It's called bull crap and a client can smell it from a mile away.
384
Gotcha.
385
Oh, hey, I forgot something in my car.
386
I'll be right back.
387
Okay. Of course.
388
Hey, Dwight, you're a great salesman.
389
Can you teach me?
390
Sure, Ryan.
391
I'll make you kneel on common or abandon you in a bee field.
392
Oh, that sounds great, Dwight.
393
I really appreciate that.
394
Thank you so much for your mentorship.
395
Congratulations, resourceful salesman.
396
You have passed the second challenge.
397
Welcome to Shrewd Farm.
398
Please be seated.
399
What was that?
400
Pay no attention to the spirits that haunt this hallowed ground.
401
Is that your cousin, Moe's?
402
Yes.
403
Moe's is my cousin, and he lives here.
404
He will always be my best friend.
405
Unless things go well with Ryan today, in which case I won't hang out with Moe's so much anymore.
406
What is the greatest danger facing Dunder Mifflin?
407
Outsourcing and consolidation of competition.
408
Wrong.
409
Flash floods.
410
What is the true cause of Robert Mifflin's suicide?
411
Depression.
412
Wrong.
413
He hated himself.
414
What is the Dharma Initiative?
415
Final question, young Ryan Howard.
416
What is Michael Scott's greatest fear?
417
Loneliness.
418
Maybe women.
419
Wrong.
420
He's not afraid of anything.
421
Also, I would have accepted snakes.
422
Fear is what it's all about.
423
You cannot sell while undergoing fear.
424
You need to vanquish fear.
425
One must wrestle fear to the ground.
426
You will now wrestle my cousin Moe.
427
No, okay, all right, all right.
428
It's over.
429
It's over.
430
It's over.
431
This is over, okay?
432
No, just don't!
433
You're a freak!
434
I'm not doing this anymore and this is over.
435
Ryan, you don't have to wrestle him.
436
Ryan, just get in the car.
437
Ryan?
438
Bye, Ryan.
439
He seemed nice.
440
Where are all the animals?
441
Ryan, come on.
442
I am sorry.
443
I am sorry.
444
Modes is sorry, too.
445
Look, he sent over a basket with eggs and some fat back bacon, and look, something he whittled.
446
They really didn't like me.
447
They did not.
448
They didn't have to say it to your face.
449
I don't get it.
450
I don't get what I did wrong.
451
Not everything's a lesson, Ryan.
452
Sometimes you just fail.
453
It's those online paper jerks.
454
The whole business is changing.
455
You know what?
456
They're going to be screwed once this whole internet bad is over.
457
What are you doing?
458
Oh, no, no, no!
459
No!
460
Ryan!
461
Yes!
462
Ryan the temp!
463
Yeah!
464
Come on!
465
Come on!
466
Courtesy of Dunder Mifflin!
467
Oh, come on.
468
Drive.
469
You do it.
470
Thank you.

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.
