What you gonna do? Is this real?
86
It is a screenplay.
87
Starring himself.
88
Agent Michael Skarn.
89
Of the FBI.
90
How long is that?
91
Oh, Pam.
92
Good work.
93
Oh, wait, stop.
94
Drawings.
95
What is that?
96
Oh, those are drawings.
97
In case the writing didn't really put a picture in your head.
98
And there he is, in the flesh, Agent Michael Skarn.
99
Now we know what he looks like.
100
All right, let's get this started.
101
I'm gonna be reading the action descriptions, and Phyllis, I would like you to play Catherine Zeta-Jones.
102
Is that the character's name?
103
You guys should not be doing this.
104
Why not, Dwight?
105
This is a movie.
106
I mean, this is for all of America to enjoy.
107
You took something that doesn't belong to you.
108
Dwight, do you want to play the lead role of Agent Michael Skarn?
109
A man, very good-looking, runs into a bank and kills a bank robber.
110
I'm Michael Scarn with the FBI.
111
Freeze.
112
Who's he saying freeze to if the bank robber's dead?
113
I don't know.
114
Inside the FBI, Agent Michael Scarn sits with his feet up on his desk.
115
Catherine Zeta-Jones enters.
116
Sir, you have some messages.
117
Not now!
118
They're important.
119
Okay.
120
What are they?
121
First message is, I love you.
122
That's from me.
123
Not in a thousand years, Catherine.
124
We work together.
125
And get off my desk.
126
Yes, I have acted before.
127
I was in a production of Oklahoma in the seventh grade.
128
I played the part of Muti, the mailman.
129
They had too many kids, so they made up roles like that. That was good.
130
Let's maintain this.
131
Where are you going?
132
Home.
133
It's after five.
134
Yeah, but Michael said for us to stay until he got back.
135
Okay.
136
What is...
137
When he comes back, he's gonna see you're not here.
138
Okay.
139
Okay.
140
Don't let it affect your performance.
141
Here we go.
142
Phyllis.
143
The president called.
144
Business or social?
145
Both.
146
He has an assignment for you.
147
Very dangerous, maybe deadly.
148
And he wants you to be the best man at his wedding.
149
Put him through, but I'm only gonna talk business.
150
Hey, Michael.
151
How's it hanging?
152
It's hanging pretty good, Mr. President.
153
I understand you have a dangerous assignment, and I'm your man.
154
I do.
155
I have a dangerous assignment.
156
Are you my man?
157
You heard me the first time, you joker.
158
That would be pretty cool if Michael starred in a movie with Catherine Zeta-Jones.
159
She's so hot.
160
I bet a hundred.
161
Sir, the minimum bet is a thousand.
162
If you had let me finish my sentence, you would have heard me say, I bet $100,000.
163
Sam, get me my money bag.
164
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
165
Agent Michael Scarn, you so funny.
166
You da bomb.
167
Mm, yeah.
168
It kind of seems like all the movies that I like.
169
A man sitting several seats down who has a gold face turns to Michael Scarn.
170
Uh, ooh.
171
Oscar, you want to play Golden Face?
172
Mr. Scar, perhaps you would be more comfortable in my private jet.
173
Yes, perhaps I would, golden face.
174
Sam, get my luggage.
175
I forget it, brother.
176
Samuel, you are such an idiot.
177
You are the worst assistant ever.
178
And you're disgusting.
179
Dwigged?
180
Wait, who's Dwigged?
181
Here's what we think happened.
182
Michael's sidekick, who all through the movie is this complete idiot who's causing the downfall of the United States,
183
was originally named Dwight, But then Michael changed it to Samuel L.
184
Chang, using a search and replace.
185
But that doesn't work on misspelled words.
186
Leaving behind one twigged.
187
And Dwight figured it out.
188
Oops.
189
D-W-I-G-H-T.
190
Okay, you know what?
191
I am done with this.
192
That said, the end.
193
Well, some of us want to keep reading, so...
194
Uh, you don't speak for everyone, Jim.
195
Okay, announcement.
196
My uncle bought me some fireworks.
197
And anyone who wants to see a real show, come with me outside now.
198
That's actually a good idea.
199
We'll all take a brief intermission.
200
Bullets are flying everywhere.
201
Ooh, wait, last page.
202
Big finish?
203
Here we go.
204
Agent Skarn kicks open the plane door with a karate chop.
205
Kick and a chop are two totally different things.
206
Well, it's just a movie, Dwig.
207
It doesn't make any sense.
208
Yeah, now it doesn't make any sense.
209
Don't jump, Agent Skarn.
210
There are no parachutes.
211
Just then, Agent Chang gets a bullet in the head.
212
Oh, so close to retirement.
213
Another bullet heads towards Agent Michael Scarn,
214
but he jumps out of the plane without a parachute. Is that it?
215
Yep.
216
I think so.
217
Does he die?
218
I sincerely doubt it.
219
I have to say, I think this is a terrible movie.
220
Hey, are you going to Port Richards?
221
Well, not all.
222
You?
223
Maybe.
224
I'm going and sorry, both of you.
225
We're all going.
226
Hey, isn't there some rule against inter-obuscating?
227
I am not doing your dirty work for you.
228
I hear whispering.
229
Oh, hey, Mayor.
230
Hey.
231
Another vodka?
232
Yeah.
233

239
Kevin, you and Stacy set a date yet?
240
Yeah.
241
Oh, my God, when is it?
242
It's complicated.
243
I would appreciate some space on this.
244
One, two, three, up chickens.
245
Dan Jenkins!
246
I think I heard the quarter over here. Where?
247
On this side.
248
No, it is definitely under one of these hands.
249

250

La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | you've really never stolen · have never missed · have had |
| Consigli con “should” should + verbo — dire che cosa è meglio fare | should celebrate · should not be · Should I |
| Superlativi the -est / the most … — il massimo o il minimo di un gruppo | the best · the worst · our best |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | I'll take · I'll go · We'll all |
Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 61 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come don't, I'm, you're. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “th”: thief /ˈθiːf/, ethics /ˈɛθ.ɪks/, seventh /ˈsɛvənθ/
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: parachute /ˈpæɹəʃut/, intermission /ɪntɚˈmɪʃən/, flesh /flɛʃ/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: atrocity /əˈtɹɑsɪti/, intermission /ɪntɚˈmɪʃən/, intestinal /ɪnˈtɛs.tɪ.nəl/, mononucleosis /ˌmɑnoʊnukliˈoʊsɪs/, unknowable /ʌnˈnoʊ.ə.bəl/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: holly /ˈhɑli/, steakhouse /ˈsteɪk.haʊs/, whisper /ˈ(h)wɪspɚ/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: thief /ˈθiːf/, assignment /əˈsaɪn.mənt/, bullet /ˈbʊlɪt/, parachute /ˈpæɹəʃut/, chop /t͡ʃɑp/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: parachute /ˈpæɹəʃut/, laminate /ˈlæmɪneɪt/, mailman /ˈmeɪl.mæn/, outback /ˈaʊtbæk/, jackpot /ˈd͡ʒækpɒt/
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 thief, bullet, parachute.
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.
