1
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey guys!
2
What's going on?
3
Hurry!
4
We're gonna miss it.
5
Yeah, hurry!
6
We can't miss it!
7
Hey, what is it?
8
I saw everyone running and I just joined in!
9
There's gonna be a huge surprise live on TV!
10
Maybe...
11
Aliens landed or...
12
They discovered a new dinosaur!
13
An alien dinosaur!
14
Hello, I'm here to introduce the big TV surprise.
15
It's me!
16
Oh, man.
17
I'm changing the channel.
18
I'm leaving town today.
19
Huh?
20
Yes!
21
I'm going on a world tour of my company's many hotels.
22
Some would call it a long vacation.
23
I call it hard work with pool time.
24
And while I'm gone, my company will be run by my most trusted advisor.
25
Somebody who I know will do an amazing job.
26
My goldfish, Goldie.
27
What?
28
Good luck, Goldie.
29
What?
30
Now it's time to vacation.
31
I mean, work hard.
32
It looks like your old friend Goldie just got a huge promotion.
33
You go, girl.
34
I don't know.
35
Running a big company sounds tough.
36
I hope Goldie's up for it.
37
I sure wouldn't be.
38
Hank, we need your help running this big company.
39
But that's the thing I just said I don't want to do.
40
You have a special bond with Goldie and nobody else understands her, so you need to be our new fish assistant!
41
See you tomorrow!
42
Welcome to the world of business!
43
Tom, I get here to help my friend.
44
What is it, Mom?
45
I can't make heads at fish.
46
The world of business makes me uncomfortable.
47
Ha!
48
Looks like we've got an office jokester.
49
Everybody loves business.
50
Now I'll leave you to figure out our new leader's fishy wishes.
51
Let's go, the old friend.
52
Boy, have you come up in the world.
53
Congratulations on the big promotion.
54
I get it, I understand.
55
So what's the plan?
56
Sell some stocks, send some faxes, invest in some investments?
57
Hey, Hank, how's the working world?
58
Really bad.
59
Goldie doesn't care about this stuff, but the executives all want me to tell them what she wants and she doesn't want anything.
60
What a disaster.
61
More like what an opportunity.
62
Just make stuff up.
63
I mean you can do whatever you want.
64
I don't really want to start lying on my first day of work, Tom.
65
It's not lying, Hank.
66
It's bending the truth to make the world a better place.
67
Goldie has made a decision.
68
She wants the company's new focus to be.. helping everyone in town, and just kind of making the world a better place.
69
That's the truth, okay?
70
I'm not going to die.
71
Hey Craig, see the game last night?
72
Hey me, we got that permit for the rock and roll water park.
73
Rock and roll!
74
Wow Hank, I barely recognize this place.
75
I mean, the walls are the same, but now everything is fun.
76
Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet.
77
Woohoo!
78
This is incredible!
79
I wish all businesses were run by a fish.
80
Goldie's actually more of a figurehead.
81
The real ideas come from our buddy Hank, and that idea came from our buddy me.
82
Wait, Hank, you got all of this for yourself?
83
That seems selfish.
84
The truth is, something has been bothering me.
85
I feel that I need a team to play roller laser tag with.
86
Anyone interested?
87
Whoa!
88
Whoa!
89
Whoa!
90
Whoa!
91
Whoa!
92
Whoa!
93
Whoa!
94
Hey, that snack silo's running a little low.
95
I'll tell somebody Goldie wants it refilled.
96
Uh-oh, Goldie.
97
Guess we goofed off longer than we thought.
98
Everyone must have gone home.
99
Not everyone.
100
How are you enjoying the job that should have been mine?
101
Oh, it's pretty tough.
102
That Angela's a menace with a laser blaster.
103
I know what you're doing.
104
You're trying to make Uncle CEO's company your own personal playground.
105
Garen, that's not true.
106
I'm making the world a better place by doing only the things that Goldie wants.
107
Goldie is a dumb fish.
108
She doesn't want anything.
109
I, uh, oh.
110
Goldie says you're fired.
111
Oh.
112
Hey, I wanted to talk her out of it, but then you were mean to me.
113
So I think it's best that you go.
114
Wait, no!
115
I was kidding.
116
Making a silly joke between two businessmen.
117
See?
118
I'm laughing.
119
I don't want to go.
120
I love what I do here.
121
I said go.
122
You ready for a rematch, Hank, or what?
123
Not now, guys.
124
I'm not in the mood.
125
But we're just getting started.
126
Not now!
127
Okay, look, guys, we should go, okay?
128
Let's go.
129
Don't look at me like that.
130
I did what I had to do, right?
131
You're right, Hank.
132
You're always right!
133
Now give us a power smile.
134
I need to speak with Hank.
135
Let me talk with him!
136
He hasn't been holding a weekend.
137
Let me talk with him!
138
No, no, no, don't put me on hold again!
139
And they hung up.
140
No!
141
Oh!
142
Maybe we can find out what's going on with him from this press conference he's given on TV!
143
It's time for this company to announce our next big change.
144
I have, I mean, Goldie has bought every TV channel.
145
From now on, the only show broadcast anywhere will be my favorite show, Bongo and McGillicuddy.
146
You're welcome.
147
And we are paying for this by canceling all our current world-improving projects.
148
Don't blame me, blame the fish.
149
Hank has lost it.
150
This is all my fault.
151
I told him to take over the company.
152
It seemed like such a good idea.
153
You gave him a lot of power, and he got a lot of corrupt.
154
It's almost like those two things are related.
155
Well, they're not gonna be related for long.
156
Come on, let's go get our friend back.
157
Yeah!
158
I want a meeting with Hank.
159
Now!
160
Sorry, Tom, but you don't have an appointment and we're very busy.
161
We're getting office haircuts.
162
Hank, this isn't you.
163
I'm turning into a bad guy.
164
Oh, Angela, that's ridiculous.
165
Remove these garage people from the building at once, so there's a fish.
166
Let me handle this!
167
Eat candy!
168
Hurry!
169
To the elevator!
170
Hank, enough is enough.
171
You're coming home.
172
All right, Tom.
173
You have made your way through all my people.
174
I suppose you've earned a meeting.
175
But first, could you take three steps to the right?
176
Okay, three steps, I'll wrap them.
177
Oh, that's perfect.
178
Ah! Have you gone insane?
179
Let us out!
180
I can't do that, Ben.
181
I have an appointment to join an executive golf club.
182
No!
183
Not golf!
184
There's no coming back from that, Hank!
185
I'm sorry, but that's my ride.
186
Come on, Goldie, let's copter!
187
What are you doing?
188
Don't press that button!
189
Don't you dare!
190
Goldie!
191
You betrayed me!
192
It looks like Goldie finally made a real decision.
193
And now you need to decide what's more important.
194
Your job or your friends.
195
But Tom, you said this was an opportunity.
196
And then I, well, I got so many nice things that...
197
Gah!
198
This place has turned me into a monster!
199
I don't even like golf!
200
Aww, I know, Hank.
201
Golf is awful.
202
Okay, let's get out of here before another one of us gets a job, huh?
203
Okay?
204
Agreed.
205
I think we've learned that there's only one of us who can handle the power of this position.
206
The company is in your hands.
207
The fins.
208
Good luck, Goldie.
209
Subscribing has never been easier.
210
Press the button and you'll never miss an episode.
211
Yeah!

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.
