I'll take it.

Anything.

I learned it when I studied for the bar.

I got knocked into a different life.
52
And I have been wishing for a way back ever since.
53
Let me tell you something.
54
This isn't elementary school.
55
This is hard work, long hours, high pressure.
56
I need a grown goddamn man.
57
You give me this, and I will work as hard as it takes to school those Harvard douches
58
and become the best lawyer you have ever seen.
59
I'm inclined to give you a shot, but what if I decide to go another way?
60
I'd say that's fair.
61
Sometimes I'd like to hang out with people who aren't that bright.
62
You know, just to see how the other half lives.
63
Move over.
64
I'm emailing the firm I just found, our next associate.
65
And finally, this is where you'll live.
66
Wow.
67
I gave you that for a reason you haven't taken one note.
68
It's because...
69
Is it because you were too busy ogling me to listen to a word I've said?
70
Partners offices anchor the wings.
71
Fifth floor is research.
72
Six is security.
73
All work gets billed, even if it's finding an address.
74
I answer to Harvey and Lewis Litt, and judging by the way you responded to my questions, I should admire Harvey and I should fear Lewis.
75
You have been here for five years, and just because I outrank you does not mean I have the authority to command your services.
76
Oh, it's also pretty clear that you think you're too smart to be a paralegal.
77
You know what nobody likes?
78
Nobody likes a show-off.
79
You used the word ogling.
80
When do I get to see Harvey?
81
It's okay.
82
You don't have to apologize.
83
I took care of it.
84
Patent claim.
85
I negotiated a deal to get it done.
86
What are you talking about?
87
Gregory.
88
He agreed to file it for me.
89
And all I have to do is proof his Bainbridge briefs.
90
Ah.
91
That explains why he said to give you this.
92
And why he called you a sucker.
93
He called me a what now?
94
Mike Ross, allow me to introduce the Bainbridge briefs. Which stack?
95
All of them.
96
Wait a minute, are these all...
97
Still printing?
98
Yeah.
99
I give it about a half hour.
100
Oh, six printers, 23 pages a minute, 30 minutes, that's 4,140 pages.
101
Plus all this, which means the next time you negotiate a deal, I would suggest to make your fast straight.
102
Uh, I am a sucker.
103
When did that happen?
104
You wanted to see me?
105
See you.
106
I looked through your work on the Bainbridge briefs.
107
Spectacular.
108
You caught the discrepancies between listed assets and potential assets.
109
That had a huge impact, Mike.
110
Yeah, I know.
111
Millions.
112
But anyone would have caught that, right?
113
Out of the 50 associates that are under my purview, not one of them would have caught that.
114
You just have this eye for detail, Mike.
115
I mean, no wonder why Harvey's so crazy about you.
116
It's amazing.
117
I mean, I really, really seriously appreciate that.
118
Hey, thank you, Lewis.
119
That's nice.
120
You know that I pick a pony out of the herd every year, don't you?
121
A pony?
122
Oh, yeah.
123
Someone who shows potential.
124
Stamped my own little brand on him.
125
Are you that pony, Mike?
126
I work for Harvey.
127
As you should.
128
Good.
129
Well, listen, I have some work to get to.
130
So maybe we can meet for lunch tomorrow at the club, say, 1 p.m.
131
Uh, you know, tomorrow...
132
I know I just posed that as a question, but I really didn't mean it that way.
133
Robert Stensland.
134
I'd like you to meet your new associate, Mike Ross.
135
We're not paying him what we pay you.
136
Nor should you, but I assure you he's highly effective.
137
Well, I'll believe it when I see it.
138
I had him read your corporate lease last week.
139
Ask him anything.
140
That's a 300-page document.
141
Okay, what are the terms?
142
Okay, I have no idea what you're talking about.
143
And, let's see, was the parent company Glendon Enterprises?
144
35,000 square feet at 19 West 57th, $80 a foot,
145
expires in six months with an option to extend, exercisable in 30 days. Who signed the lease?
146
You did.
147
What's my middle name?
148
The letter L.
149
What happens in the event the company no longer exists?
150
That wasn't in the lease.
151
How can you be sure?
152
Because the lease I read wasn't 300 pages, it was 364.
153
And I could tell you what's on any one of those pages, but I can't tell you that.
154
That's how I can be sure.
155
Excellent.
156
You can get them started on the new deal right away.
157
The new deal?
158
Yeah.
159
I have found a buyer willing to spend $200 million for the ground underneath the flagship factory.
160
Where are you moving manufacturing?
161
Well, that's the beauty of it.
162
The real asset of McKernan Motors is the name.
163
We move overseas, we save ourselves a bundle.
164
A front payout while retaining the name and maintaining cash flow over time.
165
That's genius.
166
Exactly.
167
Yeah, well, take care of everything.
168
Okay.
169
Thanks.
170
Oh, by the way, What was so important that you had to see Harvey before you came to see me?
171
Oh, this Harvey doesn't really like...
172
Can we just shut up?
173
Okay.
174
Let me just get something straight, okay?
175
When I ask you a question, I just expect an answer.
176
Uh...
177
McCurnan Motors.
178
I was working on the due diligence.
179
And why would that require you to look at the bylaws?
180
State law requires a summary be prepared in the event of a sale.
181
Privately held corporations are exempted.
182
Not if the sale exceeds $150 million.
183
According to who?
184
The state's website.
185
I like to be thorough.
186
Don't put it there, buddy. Are you serious?
187
It's embarrassing.
188
Nice of you to finally make it.
189
Why does everybody keep saying that?
190
Because you're supposed to be here when you're supposed to be here.
191
Doesn't seem to apply to you.
192
I'm not the topic of this conversation.
193
Now, what'd you find me on McKernan Motors?
194
The board can't vote for at least 24 hours after the CEO presents a deal involving the sale of company land.
195
But Stensland already presented it to the board.
196
Right, but Stensland isn't CEO.
197
I wrote those bylaws myself.
198
He's CEO.
199
Hmm.
200
Page 238, clause 137 states, if the CEO dies, an interim CEO will be appointed until the board convenes an election vote,
201
which can't be called till the next fiscal quarter, in this case, next Thursday.
202
So they can't vote him in until Thursday?
203
Thursday.
204
Okay.
205
Well, prepare the due diligence for me to take to Stensland, but I don't want anything ready to sign.
206
Where are you going?
207
Out.
208
I have until Thursday to find a new CEO.
209
Huh.
210
What?
211
Oh, nothing.
212
Uh, it's just six hours, 1,500 pages, and I, uh, found your mistake.
213
Yeah.
214
You found the one mistake I made
215
while drafting those bylaws a dozen years ago when I was two years younger than you.
216
A mistake, by the way, that's gonna help me get rid of Stensland.
217
Mistake.
218
What are you doing?
219
Uh, I'm looking for a restaurant.
220
Where did you go for your rookie dinner?
221
I came into the league a sophomore, and you better not be prioritizing that of McKernan Motors.
222
I still need something to stall Stensland.
223
It's right here.
224
What are you so irritated about?
225
I spent a day with a top headhunter I know who couldn't produce one legitimate CEO candidate by Thursday.
226
What about that Dominic Barone guy who runs production?
227
He said he was responsible for the engines and clearly cares about the workers.
228
Oh, he's not the guy.
229
Uh, you're scared you can't convince him because he hates you.
230
I get it.
231
Nice try.
232
So, how do we get an offer to the board before they're vote to ratify the deal tomorrow?
233
You're gonna go through those bylaws and you're gonna figure something out.
234
I don't have to look through them to figure it out because I just did.
235
Well, what took you so long?
236
Are you trying to look like me?
237
Harvard trivia, the lightning round.
238
Go.
239
Pulitzer Prizes.
240
Forty-six.
241
Nobel Peace Prizes.
242
Five.
243
What is the oldest book in the Harvard Library collection?
244
The Bible.
245
Wrong.
246
The Gutenberg Bible.
247
Everyone knows it's the Gutenberg Bible.
248
Yes, but you didn't say it.
249
The rules dictate you must be precise, as the law is a very precise endeavor.
250
How many U.S pre...
251
Wait, that's not fair.
252
You didn't even finish the question.
253
And yet it's right.
254
The question was gonna be, how many U.S presidents have attended Harvard?
255
You want names?
256
No, we get it.
257
Final round.
258
Ross is ahead by one.
259
One question each.
260
Points are double.
261
Double because he wants to keep you in the game, Seth.
262
Bring it on, Ross.
263
I bleed crimson.
264
Oh, venomous banter.
265
This is adorable.
266
I love it.
267
I love it.
268
Ross, square pizza, where do you get it? Are you kidding?
269
Any self-respecting Harvard alumnus would know the answer to that.
270
Late night studying, you want square pizza, where do you go?
271
You know, I'm more of a burger guy.
272
I study better on protein.
273
Come on.
274
Come on.
275
That's.. pathetic.
276
It's Pinocchio's.
277
I answer mine.
278
I win.
279
Yeah, I know.
280
How many current U.S.
281
Supreme Court justices are from our alma mater?
282
Five.
283
Can I anything say, Ross?
284
No, just that the answer is wrong.
285
Scalia, Roberts, Kennedy, Breyer, Kagan.
286
Ginsburg.
287
Ruth Bader Ginsburg went to Columbia.
288
She graduated from Columbia after she attended Harvard for two years.
289
The question was phrased, how many justices were from Harvard?
290
Well, she was on the Harvard Law Review.
291
When she arrived to Columbia as a transfer, she was from Harvard.
292
The rules dictate that you must be precise, as the law is a precise endeavor.
293
Congratulations.
294
That's what you get for second place.
295
To the victor belongs the spoils.
296
A case.
297
Pro bono.
298
One of your very own.
299
Congratulations.
300
Enjoy.
301
Seriously?
302
It could be much lower.
303
It could be much higher.
304
Let's pretend it's just right.
305
My clients' lives are being cut short, and according to accepted calculations, the current value of a life is $7.9 million.
306
You're not even offering pennies on that.
307
Those happen to be EPA calculations based on a full life expectancy,
308
Adjusted for plaintiffs whose expectancy is just a fragment of this yields a value of $143,427.
309
Approximately.
310
We need more.
311
How are we gonna get more?
312
Mike?
313
Is this the building we were in yesterday?
314
No rents, no apartment.
315
That's my code.
316
Yeah.
317
Before and after.
318
We need to go carpet shopping.
319
You want to see me?
320
Did you go see Joy after I told you not to?
321
How did you know?
322
I didn't.
323
Until now.
324
I told you, a puppy can't clean up its own mess.
325
Mess?
326
All I did was tell her about my grandmother.
327
Your job is to make my life easier.
328
If you can't understand that, why did I hire you?
329
Police reports summarized.
330
Traffic signal analysis, medallion bids, attendees, and results.
331
That's why you hired me.
332
I don't feel sorry for Gabby Stone at all. Because?
333
I found her.
334
I was her immediate supervisor.
335
I nurtured her.
336
She tries to cheat and gives a bad name.
337
How commonplace would you say cheating is here?
338
It's not.
339
It's not the kind of shop we run.
340
So when Miss Stone made the trade and the investment tripled in value, You weren't suspicious?
341
My job's not to worry about the traders that are making money.
342
My job's to worry about the traders who aren't.
343
Hello?
344
You figure out how to get the most profitable trades yet, Mike?
345
The Morello brokers hang out at a bar called The Closing Bell.
346
I'm on my way now.
347
Just remember, you're working.
348
I'll talk to you later.
349
Get a beer?
350
Thanks.
351
Hey, hey,
352
hey, what's up?
353
Tool locks?
354
Oh, man.
355
You drink that beer any slower, I'm going to have to get you a nipple.
356
Dwight.
357
No humor.
358
Vince Landis, Rello Assets.
359
Yeah, that's me.
360
Yeah.
361
Russell Ginther.
362
The Gin.
363
The Gin-tisizer.
364
Come on.
365
Gurvich Investments, man.
366
We got shithouse here a couple weeks ago.
367
No idea what you're talking about.
368
You, me, Pepeole, Coswell, Williamson, that guy dick.
369
Still owe me 20 bucks.
370
Yeah, right.
371
Russell.
372
Right, right.
373
Still begging for scraps over there at Gurvich or what?
374
Wish.
375
I need a shot.
376
What is this?
377
Oh, drink mine, please.
378
A baker?
379
You're better than that, man.
380
Money!
381
God, you guys are a bunch of pussies.
382
I guarantee you, my biggest trades kick the ass out of your biggest trades.
383
I don't think so, brother.
384
Last month, I made $2 million on Cahill medals in one hour.
385
Two million?
386
I made four million off of Montrolux back in February.
387
That stock tripled overnight.
388
What's up?
389
Four million?
390
Oh, that's adorable.
391
How about the six million I just cleared on Rypian micro devices?
392
Oh, yeah?
393
What do you think my boy here made on Piper Web Systems?
394
What, this guy?
395
Right here.
396
Uh-huh.
397
I don't know, a pack of chewing gum in your sister's panties.
398
Oh, it's on.
399
Miss Landon!
400
Seven million off of Drogon Limited.
401
Eight million off of Epling RTX.
402
Nine million dollars off of RMA Integrated Products.
403
Well, gentlemen, Reid is good.
404
And so is his sister.
405
Come on, man.
406
That's his sister.
407
That's not cool.
408
Dude, you just made, like, the same joke.
409
Hey, Bradley's finally here.
410
Uh, all right, ladies.
411
Listen, I gotta split.
412
It's been real.
413
I'll get drinks next time, all right?
414
Right.
415
Make money, money, make money!
416
I don't want to break you and your baby.
417
I don't want to break you and your baby.
418
I don't want to break you and your baby.
419
Harvey!
420
I got the trades.
421
Good.
422
We'll talk tomorrow.
423
What?
424
No, I'm coming over now.
425
You're drunk.
426
Do not come over.
427
Alright, cool.
428
I'll see you in a minute.
429
Six months ago, I was at Connolly White.
430
The network went haywire, and we were in a breach of contract litigation worth $400 worth $400 million.
431
They needed it fixed in an hour.
432
No one thought it could be done.
433
I had the network up and running again in 23 minutes.
434
Is that dramatic enough for you?
435
Wow, you're like a regular Zuckerberg.
436
Z-Zuckerberg?
437
Zuckerberg couldn't code his way out of a paper bag.
438
You called about the employee codes.
439
You're a first year.
440
You can't have one.
441
Sorry.
442
OK, well, I don't need one.
443
I just want to know if it's possible for someone to gain access to somebody else's code.
444
Sure.
445
For one person, me.
446
I have access to all of the codes.
447
Okay, so in your short tenure here, has anyone ever asked you for access to someone else's code?
448
Once.
449
Last week. Who?
450
I can't tell you that.
451
Why not?
452
IT officer-client privilege.
453
Does that even exist, Ben?
454
It does in here.
455
All right, Ben.
456
Why don't we.. make a bet?
457
I think you mean a wager, Michael?
458
Yeah, sure.
459
I'm gonna tell you every single number on this piece of paper, and you're gonna give me that name. And if you can't?
460
Then I'm gonna give you this check for ten grand.
461
You get one number, one comma, one decimal point wrong, and that money is mine.
462
Oh, and when I win, I'll also take one of those computers.
463
And for the record, there's not a single comma on there.
464
You ready?
465
Rachel, it's Mike.
466
I figured out who leaked the list of Wakefield Katie.
467
It was Lewis.
468
Call me back.
469
Yeah, I can barely keep my eyes open myself.
470
Filing briefs.
471
Sucks.
472
Do I really need to pay you back?
473
Let's start with an explanation.
474
You said I needed to find evidence, so I went to find some.
475
By breaking into another law firm?
476
Is that really worse than paying off a security guard?
477
Okay, first of all, I didn't pay him off.
478
Second of all, if I hadn't paid him off, he'd be in jail right now.
479
You think I might be right about Stan?
480

Chi parla usa 115 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come you're, don't, I'm. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “th”: thorough /ˈθʌɹoʊ/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/, pathetic /pəˈθɛtɪk/, grandmother /ˈɡɹæn(d)ˌmʌðɚ/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/

I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:

- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: shelf /ʃɛlf/, precise /pɹɪˈsaɪs/, lease /liːs/, dictate /ˈdɪkˌteɪt/, diligence /ˈdɪlɪd͡ʒəns/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: calculation /ˌkælkjuˈleɪʃn̩/, embarrass /ɪmˈbæɹəs/, fascinate /ˈfæsɪneɪt/, fragment /ˈfɹæɡmənt/, alma /ˈæl.mə/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come shelf, precise, dictate.
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.
