Is this how you turn down a Hollywood Pinocchio that cries like a woman?
6
What can I do?
7
What can I do?
8
The thing is, you only got to fuck up once.
9
Be a little slow, be a little late, just once once.
10
And how you ain't gonna never be slow, never be late.
11
You can't plan for no shit like this, man.
12
It's life.
13
You spend time with your family?
14
Sure I do.
15
Good.
16
Because a man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man.
17
A man is supposed to take care of his family.
18
You live in my house, fill your belly with my food.
19
But you're behind on my bed because you're my son.
20
I mean, because I like you, because it's my duty to take care of you.
21
I owe a responsibility to you.
22
Now let's get this straight right here now before I go along any further.
23
I ain't got to like you.
24
Mr. Rand don't give me my money.
25
Come payday because he like me.
26
He give it to me because he owe me.
27
Now I don't give you everything I got to give you.
28
I give you your life.
29
Me and your mama worked that out.
30
Between us and liking your black ass wasn't part of the bargain.
31
Now don't you go through life worrying about whether somebody liked you or not.
32
You best be making sure they're doing right by you.
33
You understand what I'm saying?
34
Yes, sir.
35
Then get the hell out of my face and get on down to that A&P.
36
Is it better to be loved or feared?
37
That's a good question.
38
It's nice to be both, but it's very difficult.
39
But if I had my choice, I would rather be feared.
40
Fear lasts longer than love.
41
Friendships that are bought with money mean nothing.
42
You see how it is around here, I make a joke, everybody laughs.
43
I know I'm funny, but I'm not that funny.
44
It's fear that keeps them loyal to me.
45
But the trick is not to be hated.
46
That's why I treat my men good, but not too good.
47
I give them too much, then they don't need me.
48
I give them just enough where they need me, but they don't hate me.
49
You know my father used to say, whatever you do, do it 100%.
50
When you work, work.
51
When you laugh, laugh.
52
When you eat, eat like it's your last minute.
53
When I was 16, I won a great victory.
54
I felt in that moment I would live to be 100.
55
Now I know I shall not see 30.
56
Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you.
57
But don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again.
58
This country, you gotta make the money first.
59
Then when you get the money, you get the power.
60
Then when you get the power, then you get the world.
61
That's why you gotta make your own moves.
62
There is no nobility in poverty.
63
I have been a rich man and I have been a poor man and I choose rich every fucking time.
64
Yeah!
65
Yeah!
66
Because at least as a rich man, when I have to face my problems, I show up in the back of a limo, wearing a $2,000 suit and a $40,000 gold fucking watch.
67
When you lose your money, you lose nothing.
68
When you lose your health, you lose something.
69
When you lose your character, you lose everything.
70
These days, they got a name for just about everything.
71
Doesn't matter what they call you.
72
It's the deeds make the man.
73
Yeah, but my deeds just made things worse.
74
I'm a fraud.
75
I'm a phony.
76
My friends believed in me, but they need some kind of hero.
77
Then be a hero.
78
Oh no, no, no. You don't understand.
79
I'm not even supposed to be here.
80
That's right.
81
You came a long way to find something that isn't out here.
82
Don't you see?
83
It's not about you.
84
It's about them.
85
You're all a bunch of fucking assholes.
86
You know why?
87
You don't have the guts to be what you want to be.
88
You need people like me.
89
You need people like me so you can point your fucking fingers and say that's the bad guy.
90
What'll that make you good?
91
You just know how to hide.
92
You need to be a gangster.
93
You need to be a killer.
94
Little young, young.
95
You need them.
96
Okay.
97
If that's what you want.
98
If that's what makes you feel like a man, then be a real man.
99
Let's get jumped in right now.
100
Here.
101
Start with me.
102
No, start with me.
103
Here.
104
Start with me.
105
No, take it.
106
Come on, killer.
107
Come on, killer.
108

109
You're right there.
110
Know how to hold?
111
You know what you're doing?
112
Come on, killer.
113
There you go.
114
There you go.
115
There you go.
116
Five pounds of pressure, that's all it takes.
117
Come on, gangster.
118
Five pounds of pressure, that's all it takes.
119
Five pounds of pressure, that's all it takes.
120
I'm gonna hit him, come get him.
121
You don't want to get him.
122
Come get him.
123
I ain't gonna do anything like that.
124
See?
125
You know what they are up there?
126
They liars.
127
They're so in love.
128
You know what happens when you deal with a liar?
129
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
130
You see what happens when you deal with a liar?
131
What do you see when you look at me?
132
Tell me, you better give me your right answer to what you see when you look at me.
133
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no. Killer, what you see, yummy?
134
You don't know.
135
Oh, no. Oh, no. You got a choice.
136
You got talent.
137
You got a chance and I won't hear about your environment, what your momma didn't give you and the white man won't give you no shot.
138
You got a chance.
139
Use it while you're still alive.
140
You don't know what death is.
141
You have no idea what death is.
142
Make a decision.
143
All right.
144
Louis.
145
A moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory.
146
You remember that?
147
I'm going to say something to you.
148
You're smart, you're talented, you know a few things, but talent means nothing in this game if you don't make the right choices.
149
There's plenty of talented people out there who never see the light of day anymore.
150
Last thing takes discipline, because this whole game is one big long shot.
151
And if you don't have the discipline to stay away from the flyers
152
or from the gambles or whatever else you want to call a stupid move
153
Then my friend I'm afraid to say one day you will go down.
154
It's inevitable It is not our abilities that show what we truly are It is our choices You love this game.
155
I mean love it with your whole heart Because if you don't Let's not even bother Let's not open that door,
156
they're just gonna slam it right in our face.
157
I love this game.
158
I live this game.
159
There's a thousand other guys waiting in the wings who are obsessed with this game.
160
Obsession's gonna be talent every time.
161
You got all the talent in the world, but are you obsessed?
162
But the real answer to your question is that when it feels scary to jump, Ian, That is exactly when you jump.
163
Otherwise you end up staying in the same place your whole life.
164
And that I can't do.
165
Alright, I'll give it a try.
166
No!
167
Try not! Do! Or do not!
168
There is no try.
169
Me are one what's coming to me.
170
Or what's coming to you, Tom?
171
The world, Chico. and everything in it.
172
Not me!
173
It was you!
174
The greatest Kung Fu teacher in all of China!
175
But I can change you!
176
I can turn you into the Dragon Warrior!
177
And I will!
178
Come on!
179
How are you gonna change this into the Dragon Warrior?
180
Huh?
181
How?
182
How?
183
I don't know!
184
I don't know.
185
That's what I thought.
186
I wanted to save Gotham.
187
I failed.
188
Why do we fall, sir?
189
So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.
190
I said it before and I'll say it again.
191
Life moves pretty fast.
192
You don't stop and look around once in a while.
193
You could miss it.
194
I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really.
195
Get busy living, or get busy dying.
196
And you see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are.
197
First you have to know, not fear, know that someday you're gonna die.
198
It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
199
You know, they say we die twice.
200
Once when the breath leaves our body, and once when the last person we know says our name.
201
God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves with white collars.
202
Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.
203
We're the middle children of history, man.
204
No purpose, a place.
205
We have no great war, no great depression.
206
Our great depression is our lives.
207
Raymond, you're going to die.
208
No, no, no, no. What did you want to be, Raymond K.
209
Hessel?
210
Answering, Raymond, Jesus.
211
Veterinarian, veterinarian.
212
Animals.
213
Yeah, animals.
214
If you're not on your way to becoming a veterinarian in six weeks, you will be dead.
215
Now run on home.
216
Run on home.
217
Come on, this isn't funny!
218
That wasn't funny!
219
What the fuck was the point of that?
220
Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day for MK has his life.
221
His breakfast will taste better than any meal you and I have ever tasted.
222
I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero.
223
And they found you amusing for a while.
224
The people of this city?
225
But the one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die dry.
226
In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you.
227
You could not live with your own failure.
228
Where did that bring you?
229
Back to me.
230
I was so afraid of becoming my dad.
231
Mostly because I thought I never could.
232
How?
233
How do you become someone that great, that brave, that selfless?
234
I guess you can only try.
235
Life is this.
236
I like this.
237
In every moment, there is the possibility of a better future.
238
But you people won't believe it.
239
And because you won't believe it, you won't do what is necessary to make it a reality.
240
Until you dwell on this terrible future, you resign yourselves to it.
241
For one reason, because that future doesn't ask anything of you today.
242
And as long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be.
243
Life's not fair, is it, my little friend?
244
While some are born to feast, others spend their lives in the dark.
245
Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times.
246
If one only remembers to turn on the light.
247
Now I remember you, your Connor student tells me you're brilliant.
248
He also tells me you're lazy.
249
I'm trying to do better.
250
Well, being brilliant is not enough, young man.
251
You have to work hard.
252
Intelligence is not a privilege, it's a gift.
253
And you use it for the good of mankind.
254
The trouble with loyalty to a cause is that the cause will always betray you.
255
Why are you doing that to me?
256
To remind myself, I thought I'd be, if I wasn't who I am.
257
Why do you think taxes and prices go up the same day in the ghetto?
258
The cost of living keeps rising to make sure people keep dying.
259
How else could there be men with a million years while most live day to day?
260
There is no good and evil.
261
There is only power.
262
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
263
What you really fear is inside yourself.
264
You fear your own power.
265
You fear your anger.
266
The drive to do great or terrible things.
267
You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change.
268
How is humanity saved if it's not allowed to evolve?
269
I wanted to run out of that tunnel from my dad to prove to everyone that I work- Prove what?
270
That I was so funny.
271
Oh, you are so full of crap.
272
You're five feet nothing, a hundred and nothing, and you've got hardly a speck of athletic ability.
273
And you hung in with the best college football team in the land for two years.
274
And you're also gonna walk out of here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame.
275
In this lifetime, you don't have to prove nothing to nobody except yourself.
276
And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't gonna never happen.
277
If you're using half your concentration to look normal, then you're only half paying attention to whatever else you're doing.
278
Just pointing out something that could save your life.
279
You want society to accept you, but you can't even accept yourself.
280
Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are.
281
It is the rest of your story.
282
Who you choose to be.
283
One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.
284
We have to do something.
285
We can't just let him march on the valley and take his revenge.
286
He'll.. he'll...
287
Your mind is like this water, my friend.
288
When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see.
289
But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear.
290
Human, not a rabbit.
291
You want to make security guards, you gotta lose weight.
292
You gotta test in one week.
293
Now you asked me to help you, but if you're not willing to apply yourself...
294
Yeah, hey.
295
Progress not perfection.
296
I let her go.
297
Yes, yes, Splendid.
298
You.. what?
299
How could you do that?
300
I had to.
301
Yes, but why? Because...
302
I love her.
303
But I can't go back.
304
Don't know that you got a choice, son.
305
No man can walk out on his own story.
306
Sometimes you gotta get through your fear to see the beauty on the other side.
307
Wake up to reality.
308
Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world.
309
The longer you live, the more you will realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain.
310
Merely pain, suffering and futility.
311
Listen.
312
Everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well.
313
As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist.
314
Come here, the secret ingredient is...
315
Nothing.
316
Huh?
317
You heard me.
318
Nothing.
319
There is no secret ingredient.
320
Wait, wait, it's just plain old noodle soup?
321
You don't add some kind of special sauce or something?
322
Don't have to.
323
To make something special, you just have to believe it's special.
324
Let me tell you goofball, this is not how I imagined adult life.
325
Well, what do you mean?
326
Well, apart from spending most of it plagued with terrifying anxiety,
327
soul-crushing depression, crippling loneliness and terrible debilitating neck pain, it's also just incredibly boring.
328
I mean, here we are, a couple of young people, it's Saturday night, and we're just lying on the couch watching TV in the dark.
329
We're young people?
330
Well, we're kinda young, and we're kinda people.
331
I don't get it.
332
You came in here, you turned the movie on, you turned the lights off, you sat down and you started watching it, and now you're complaining about it?
333
Because I wish I was doing something else.
334
Like what?
335
Oh, you know the kind of things that young people do, goofball.
336
They go to concerts, or they go on road trips, or to music festivals, or go camping,
337
or play guitar as they sit around a bonfire on the beach at night.
338
Making memories, falling in love...
339
But I never got to do any of that stuff.
340
You only get to be young once.
341
And I blew it.
342
The key in life is to lie to yourself about reality.
343
Smile through everything.
344
All the bad things, well, you just pile them away in a place that will come back one day in the form of,
345
I don't know, rage? But everything's fine.
346
I'll see you in bed.

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.
