Phyllis!

Love, Bob Vance.

Vance Refrigeration.
13
Isn't he sweet?
14
Yeah.
15
Wow.
16
What's this?
17
What is this?
18
I don't know.
19
It's on your desk.
20
But who put it here?
21
And for what purpose?
22
It was there when I sat down.
23
Happy Valentine's Day.
24
It's me.
25
I'm the bobblehead.
26
Yes!
27
Ah!
28
Ah!
29
Hey, Kelly.
30
What's up?
31
Nothing.
32
Oh, except, oh my god, Jim, last night, Ryan and I totally, finally hooked up.
33
It was awesome.
34
That's great.
35
I'm really happy for you.
36
I know.
37
And it was so funny, because we were at this bar with his friends, and I was sitting next to him the whole night.
38
And he wasn't making a move, so in my head, I was like, Ryan, what's taking you so long?
39
And then he kissed me, and I didn't know what to say.
40
So I said, Ryan, what took you so long?
41
And I just said it to him.
42
Can you believe that?
43
Wow.
44
Oh, my God, Jim, is that embarrassing?
45
I'm embarrassed.
46
No, don't be.
47
Oh, thank God, because I was nervous, Jim.
48
You will not believe.
49
I was so nervous.
50
But now, now I have a boyfriend.
51
All right.
52
I hooked up with her on February 13th.
53
Guess what?
54
Really?
55
Mm -hmm.
56
Oh, you're from barbecue.
57
It's great.
58
Hello, Angela.
59
Did you hear?
60
Somebody totally rocked the house and got me the best present I've ever gotten.
61
Really?
62
I wouldn't know anything about that, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.
63
Oh, I did.
64
I did.
65
I didn't get anything for Valentine's Day.
66
Oh, I bet you will before the day is over.
67
Really?
68
Well, I hope I do.
69
Ho, ho.
70
Phyllis slapping?
71
Holy God.
72
It's from Bob.
73
Man, that thing's bigger than I am.
74
No, it's not.
75
Oh, zip it.
76
Pam, hi.
77
How you doing?
78
Good.
79
Listen, may I speak with you privately?
80
You can't fire me, Dwight, just because Michael's not here.
81
No, Pam, just...
82
Just...
83
Wait.
84
You need to get something for your girlfriend?
85
Girlfriend, yes.
86
And the reason I didn't get anything for this particular person,
87
who shall remain nameless, is that she's not really the kind of person you think would be into Valentine's Day.
88
She's kind of...
89
Tightly wound.
90
Exactly.
91
Okay, well, sometimes the gift is really about the gesture.
92
You know, like what it means instead of what it is.
93
You mean like a ham?
94
No, not like a ham.
95
It's about doing something so that the person knows that you really care about her.
96
Okay, I get it.
97
That's great.
98
Okay, shut up.
99
I know exactly what to do.
100
Women are like wolves.
101
If you want a wolf, you have to trap it.
102
You have to snare it.
103
And then you have to tame it.
104
Keep it happy.
105
Care for it.
106
Feed it lovingly the way an animal deserves to be loved.
107
and my animal deserves a lot of loving hey babe you almost ready to go?
108
I guess, yeah what's wrong?
109
nothing, it's just that I had to sit here all day while Phyllis got like an entire garden delivered to her what, you're mad at me?
110
I mean, I know that we said no big gifts
111
but I was kind of hoping you'd get me something for Valentine's Day Okay.
112
Well, Valentine's Day isn't over.
113
Let's get you home, and you are going to get the best sex of your life.
114
So, I received the first
115
Valentine from a secret admirer.
116
Roses are red, violets are blue.
117
It's time for your dental cleaning, and maybe a checkup, too.
118
Oh, wow, look at those.
119
How nice for you.
120
Up there front and center, beautiful.
121
I think they would look better right here.
122
They're very pretty, and I wouldn't want them to fall.
123
Just about everybody in this office is single right now, including me.
124
And everyone is experiencing an incredible amount of emotional pain.
125
especially me, because of my great capacity for emotion.
126
And it is my first
127
Valentine's Day since Holly.
128
So I think that I am well qualified to understand
129
that these people need to be protected from having love shoved into their faces.
130
Pam, really?
131
They're back?
132
I can't see them when they're on the floor.
133
They're for her to look at, Michael.
134
Can I have a word with you?
135
Yes, let's have a word.
136
Yes.
137
Um, Jim.
138
Mm -hmm?
139
Today's a very difficult day for a lot of people in this office.
140
Oh, I'm sorry.
141
Yeah.
142
And the sexy looks between you and Pam, the general sexiness, the flowers, it's creating a bit of a hostile work environment.
143
I understand.
144
Yeah, it's so sexy it becomes hostile.
145
Mm -hmm.
146
I actually thought we were keeping it pretty low -key.
147
Well, if you guys insist on having your own private little love fest...
148
We do.
149
...that none of us can be a part of...
150
You can't be a part of our relationship, Mike.
151
Then we are going to have our own private
152
Valentine's Day party.
153
Sounds fun.
154
So suck it.
155
Yeah.
156
Yes.
157
Hey, everybody.
158
I just invited Jim to suck it, and I am cordially inviting all of you to a special convention,
159
a Lonely Hearts convention this afternoon, singles only.
160
Yeah, deal with it, Pam.
161
So we may not have someone in our lives that we love, but we do have each other.
162
Hey, why don't you guys come have lunch with Bob and me?
163
We'll take all afternoon.
164
Michael is terrified of Bob.
165
What do you think?
166
I have a lot of work to do this afternoon.
167
Those minds aren't gonna sweep themselves. So...
168
We're in.
169
Everyone here who's bowled a 280, please raise your hand.
170
No way.
171
280?
172
Wow, that's impressive.
173
Okay, now everyone here who's bowled under 70 raise their hand.
174
Yikes.
175
Come on, Bob.
176
Raise your hand.
177
No, Bob, no. What?
178
One time.
179
You love bringing up that one time, don't you?
180
Yeah, I do.
181
Jim uses a six -pound ball.
182
That is a lie.
183
Yes, he bowled five frames with this pink sparkly thing until a little girl had to ask for her ball back.
184
But that girl must have had monstrous hands because the holes fit.
185
No, you just have little dainty fingers.
186
You could always model ladies' jewelry.
187
Nobody asked, Bob.
188
Okay, oh wait, what is this?
189
Is this a scorecard where someone got 68?
190
No way.
191
She actually carries it with her.
192
I do.
193
That's amazing.
194
I thought this was going to be like having lunch with my mom and dad.
195
But Bob isn't showing me his appendectomy scar, and no one's criticizing the way I hold a fork.
196
If you'll excuse me, I'm going to visit the powder room.
197
We do everything together.
198
Welcome to married life, Jimmy.
199
What's the rule about eating when people are in the bathroom?
200
I think if you ordered hot food you're allowed to eat.
201
Oh, damn.
202
They've been in there for like 10 minutes.
203
Look at that.
204
Bob ordered hot food.
205
Yes.
206
And I think they gave him too many fries.
207
We should help him out.
208
Here they come.
209
What?
210
No, just kidding.
211
Seriously, that's enough.
212
Why don't you cover it with the broccoli?
213
Oh great, I have to cover it.
214
Do you think they dined and dashed?
215
They didn't dine.
216
So, yeah, maybe they just dashed.
217
I thought we were having a nice time.
218
We were.
219
Yeah.
220
Empty.
221
Mine too.
222
Oh, boy.
223
Oh, my God.
224
Okay.
225
Okay, then. So, where were we?
226
Bowling.
227
Yep, yep, yeah.
228
You didn't eat much there, Jimbo.
229
Well, initially I did.
230
Want some meat?
231
Oh, sure, a little piece.
232
Ooh, no mushroom though.
233
Forgot.
234
Yeah, thank you.
235
There you go, thanks.
236
Thank you.
237
How much did you give him?
238
Wait, I don't have my scarf.
239
I'm missing my scarf.
240
Oh.
241
We decided to have
242
Valentine's Day lunch.
243
And then that way we could spend the entire night with Cece and not avoid the Valentine's Day dinner thing.
244
It's a whole thing.
245
Yeah, lunch was wonderful.
246
There was an amazing buffet, and there was a chocolate fondue station, and what else was there?
247
Uh, bottomless champagne?
248
Yes.
249
Never found that bottom, did we?
250
No. Michael, confession.
251
I have done PDA in the office.
252
Thank you.
253
I've had intercourse in the office.
254
All right.
255
As has Angela.
256
Dwight!
257
As has Ryan.
258
As has Kelly.
259
As has Meredith.
260
As has Phyllis.
261
As has Daryl.
262
As has Creed.
263
As has Michael.
264
And as has Holly.
265
As has Kevin. With who?
266
She goes to another school.
267
Okay, fine.
268
No more PDA.
269
Good.
270
Okay.
271
You win.
272
But here's what we are gonna do.
273
We are going to designate one of our closets as a hookup zone.
274
Anything goes.
275
I know.
276
Just leave it.
277
Michael, that's absurd.
278
What if two couples want to go at the same time?
279
Okay, then we have two closets.
280
No, no. We're gonna have three closets, one for each base, no homers.
281
Yes?
282
And what is the hookup zone policy on masturbation?
283
Pro.
284
Yes.
285
What?
286
Problem solved.
287
No, no, it's great.
288
I love working at Dunder Mifflin, a division of Taliban Enterprises.
289
That's weird.
290
I mean, that's weird to have sex in the office.
291
That's where you work, right?
292
Mm -hmm.
293
You're in a meeting, and nobody knows that you've had sex there except for you and him.
294
Ew.
295
Hey!
296
Hey!
297
Hey!
298
No time to chat!
299
Well, we were just looking for Ryan, so he's not here.
300
Hey!
301
You looking for me?
302
Oh, yeah!
303
We were.
304
We were just looking to say hi, so hey.
305
No, you weren't.
306
No, we weren't.
307
You wanted to have sex in my office.
308
Nope.
309
Definitely not.
310
That's disgusting.
311
It's, it's, it's cool.
312
Just, um, try to put everything back where you found it.
313
Uh, text me when you're finished.
314
I'll be out here.
315
Hey, you don't have to...
316
That was so embarrassing, I'm gonna die.
317
Yeah, that was really rough.
318
Let me make something clear.
319
Jim and I have never and will never have sex in the office.
320
No. Because the office isn't what I'd consider a romantic place.
321
Besides, we have something those other people don't have, which is a home.
322
And a bed.
323
And a shower.
324
Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make.
325
As of today, officially, Holly and I are moving in together.
326
Yay!
327
Thank you.
328
Thank you.
329
Oscar, this must be tough for you, watching this go down.
330
You could not stand in the way of true love, my friend.
331
Are you kidding?
332
I wasn't trying to break you guys up.
333
Better luck next time, pal.
334
Well, the point is, there will no longer be any need for PDA here at the office between us, because when we get home,
335
we are going to make love to and with one another.
336
And that, to me, is the best
337
Valentine's Day present that a person could receive.
338
So I bid you all adieu.
339
You do?
340
I do.
341
Go on, kiss each other already.
342
Suck it, Oscar.
343
This must kill you.
344
I just told him to do it.
345
What?
346
No. We took a walk.
347
We took a walk.
348
I'm going to go to the next video.

| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | I've ever gotten · They've been · have done |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | be loved · be protected |

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.
