In a small grocery store, Groot is asking the shopkeeper for something.

The others are waiting behind him.
6
I like ten bags of salt, please.
7
Ten? Of course.
8
That's ten dollars, please.
9
Here you are.
10
Can I help you with all that?
11
No, thanks.
12
I have this cart.
13
Ten bags.
14
That's a lot of salt.
15
Yes.
16
Salt is very important, you know.
17
It is.
18
But why do you need ten bags?
19
Soon there isn't going to be enough salt in the world.
20
I saw it on television.
21
Not enough salt?
22
Really?
23
It's true.
24
So I'm buying some now.
25
Goodbye. Did you hear that?
26
Yeah, there isn't enough salt in the world.
27
Not enough salt?
28
That isn't true.
29
But he saw it on television.
30
Soon there isn't going to be any in the stores.
31
Really?
32
That's bad.
33
I need salt.
34
Me too.
35
I can't live without it.
36
Give me some salt, please.
37
Ten bags.
38
No, make that twenty bags. And me.
39
I'd like thirty bags.
40
Me first.
41
I've got a big family.
42
We need salt. Be quiet.
43
All of you.
44
You must wait.
45
But we want our salt.
46
And we want it now.
47
But that man bought my last ten bags.
48
Then it's true.
49
He was right.
50
There isn't enough salt in the world.
51
What are we going to do?
52
That's your problem.
53
It's six o'clock.
54
Time to close the store.
55
I'm going home.
56
But what about our salt?
57
Look, there's a lot of salt in the world.
58
Enough for everybody.
59
Goodbye.
60
Scene 2.
61
We want salt.
62
Spratly finds Groot standing in a street with his cart.
63
Excuse me, I want to buy some salt.
64
Sorry?
65
What did you say?
66
I know about the problem.
67
What problem?
68
What are you talking about?
69
Soon there isn't going to be enough salt.
70
Oh, you heard about that.
71
Yes, and I want some salt.
72
Then go to a grocery store and buy some.
73
I can't find any.
74
Every time I ask, the shopkeeper says, Sorry, no more salt.
75
Oh, dear.
76
But you have some.
77
You bought ten large bags.
78
I saw you.
79
I'm sorry, but I'm not selling my salt.
80
But I'll give you ten dollars a bag.
81
No, I want $50 a bag.
82
It's more expensive every day.
83
Soon, there isn't going to be enough.
84
All right, all right. $50 a bag.
85
Give me five bags.
86
Here's the money.
87
Good man.
88
You're doing the right thing.
89
Excuse me.
90
I saw you buy some salt.
91
Ah.
92
What's happening?
93
I can't find any.
94
The shopkeepers all say, sorry, no more salt.
95
There's a problem.
96
I know.
97
It was on television.
98
Everybody is talking about it.
99
Listen, I must have some salt.
100
Sorry.
101
I can't help you.
102
But I need it for my family.
103
Please.
104
All right, all right.
105
But it's, uh, a hundred dollars a bag.
106
Oh, no. I told you.
107
Everybody wants salt.
108
Well?
109
Oh, all right then.
110
Give me four bags.
111
Four?
112
Good.
113
You understand the world, my friend.
114
I see it in your face.
115
Here's the money. And here's your salt.
116
Goodbye.
117
Hey, you.
118
Stop.
119
Are you talking to me?
120
Yes.
121
You were in the grocery store. Was I?
122
Perhaps.
123
I go into a lot of grocery stores.
124
You bought all the salt in the store.
125
Well, there's a problem, you know.
126
Yes, there is, and it's all because of you.
127
That's not true.
128
I met Spratly just now.
129
He tried to sell me a bag of salt for $500.
130
That's too much.
131
Of course it is.
132
I know your plan.
133
You go from store to store.
134
You buy all the salt and sell it for a lot more money.
135
Okay, it's true.
136
I buy and sell salt.
137
That's not wrong.
138
Then sell some to me.
139
No, I don't want to.
140
Listen, I'm going to buy and you're going to sell.
141
Do you understand?
142
But I've only got one bag left.
143
Give it to me, then.
144
It's $200.
145
Well, okay, you can have it for $150.
146
But let me go.
147
Give it to me.
148
No, give me the money first.
149
Now let me go.
150
No!
151
Help!
152
Help!
153
He ran in front of my truck.
154
I didn't see him.
155
You didn't do anything wrong.
156
It was an accident.
157
But why did he run across the street without looking?
158
I was angry with him, so he ran away.
159
How do you feel?
160
Oh, my leg.
161
My leg hurts.
162
I think it's...
163
He's okay, I think.
164
Wait a minute.
165
What's this in the street?
166
It's salt.
167
He had a bag of salt, and I wanted it.
168
Salt?
169
Well, that's interesting.
170
I'm carrying salt on my truck.
171
Bags and bags of it.
172
Salt?
173
Oh, no!
174
Why are you laughing?
175
It doesn't matter.
176
I can't tell you now.
177
Then you can tell that policeman.
178
Look, he's coming across the street now.
179
He saw the accident, I think.
180
Thank you.
181
Thank you.
182
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.
