Hey, is it prescription or perscription?

I think it's prescription.

Prescription.

That just feels weird in my mouth.

Perscription.. is better.

What are we gonna do?

Yeah, when Jerome sees that painting, he's gonna kill us!

Don't worry, guys.

He's got another one over there.

Peter, that's Bruno Mars.

Bruno Mars?

Who's she?

He's a man, and he's not even black.

He's a beautiful, mixed-up tomorrow person.

A little help with the ribbon?

They're not supposed to touch you because then your mom won't take you back.

My mom died before America was formed.

Oh yeah, you guys live a long time, huh?

Yeah, I was in the Turtle Brigade in the Civil War. Which side?

Don't ask which side.

Thank you, TikTok.

Now, enjoy the vicious comments on the post of an overweight girl who's clearly struggling.

So AMC made me buy two seats for Wicked.

Oh yeah, there's still plenty in there for Meg to pay for online college.

Have you ever dreamed of learning calculus on a crowded rush hour subway?

Or pushing that thing IVs hang from around the hospital?

Want to hug an old man at an ethnic family picnic?

Whatever the dream.

As long as it's not going to real college.

Online college is here for you.

Online college!

If you had another choice, you'd make it.

Oh, cool.

We taking our bras off?

The girls are out to play.

Well, time to go tease the boys down at the DQ.

She's dating again?

Whatever happened to that illusionist she was seeing?

I never left, Peter.

Wow.

Wait, why are you still here?

Well, I'm an illusionist, so I'm either homeless or I have a $100 million residency in Las Vegas.

All right, Peter, calm down.

You're not the first guy to save your Christmas shopping for the last minute.

Wow.

Uh, what is it?

Oh, it's myrrh.

It's gum resin extracted from a number of small thorny trees.

Oh, dude, I'm obsessed with gum resin.

Nice.

Okay, I guess this is my birthday and Christmas present.

What's all this?

Oh, hey, guys.

Sadly, my Uncle Ray passed away last week, but he left me his vintage sports car.

Joe, that's amazing that your uncle died.

But I'm really sorry to hear about the car.

He means that the other way around.

Hi, can I help you?

Yes, I'd like one of those flashlights with a vagina in it, please.

Oh, no!

Okay, okay, don't panic, everyone.

Oh, he got you, Mom!

I'm surprised this thing still works after the day we had.

Meaning I had sex with...

I know!

We get it!

Ew!

Five minutes ago, I had that flashlight under my chin to look scary.

Chris, here are the keys to the driver's ed car to use anytime you want.

Wow, cool!

See, everyone?

If I were using the driver's ed car for my real car, I wouldn't have given him the keys.

That would be a psycho move.

I wouldn't have a ride home.

Chris, if you're heading home, can I get a ride?

Hey, how do you find something in here?

It's a lot easier than finding a man out there.

Yeah, maybe wash your hair, lose the bun, give that a chance.

Anyway, you guys have 1984.

We've got it on CD.

CD.

Sounds like my high school report card.

Okay, okay.

All right, all right.

Oh, my God.

That shark's attacking quagmire.

I think it's got him by the wiener.

Man, that guy can get anyone to do that to him.

Go away, Mr. Herbert.

It's not me.

I'm in your closet.

First question.

Sachin Tendulkar or D.

Unless Jiminy's based on a real person.

That is incorrect.

112

Hi.

113

We're here from the 80s FBI.

114

Somebody here with a 2400 baud modem almost started World War III.

115

Sounds like they're making an escape.

116

Are you sure this is gonna work, Quagmire? Of course.

117

This isn't the first time I've rigged up a sex puppet.

118

I now have full control over your genitals.

119

Are you sure?

120

Yeah, check it out.

121

It looks like an unmanned fire hose.

122

Stop smiling.

123

This is serious.

124

You gotta have your sex face.

125

Okay, okay.

126

My sex face is a ton of underbite.

127

Okay.

128

Lois, I'm ready.

129

Peter!

130

How about this?

131

Damn it, Peter.

132

I'll set the pace, you idiot.

133

All right, now to let some line out.

134

Let her dance with it a little.

135

Oh, come on, Peter.

136

Get out of my water glass.

137

I need to take a pill later.

138

Oh, sorry.

139

I guess I need to be a little more to the left.

140

A little more to the left!

141

Come on, Quagmire.

142

You were a Navy pilot for six years.

143

Land this thing!

144

Oh, Peter, that's new.

145

Let me try.

146

Eh, tired.

147

Dad, why can't we all go?

148

Because somebody's got to stay here and round up all these rattlesnakes.

149

Hey!

150

Lois, I told you I would make it up to you, so I got you something very special.

151

I got you in the opening credits of SNL!

152

Okay, look, here comes Keenan.

153

Oh, look at him playfully hailing a cab. And here you are!

154

Look how cool and hip you look walking by a manhole cover with steam coming out of it.

155

Oh, looks like Keenan's still trying to wave down a cab.

156

Oh, there you go again!

157

Now you're at the club, holding up a one more signal for a drink.

158

Why will nobody stop for Keenan?

159

Oh, but Mikey Day gets a cab first try.

160

Oh, he's sharing it with Keenan.

161

He's sharing it.

162

Okay.

163

Very stressful opening credits this week.

164

It'll give us the fresh start we need, like when Tom Brady moved to Tampa Bay.

165

All right now I get to cheat in shorts.

166

I'm Peyton Manning and I approve this message.

167

Oh guys check it out Tom Tucker's wasted at the bar again.

168

Hold on channel six.

169

I want to see what Doppler those dinks are working with a

170

3000 ha what are they telling us the weather in 2004?

171

Although I shouldn't be surprised after what happened on our wedding night Are you ready?

172

Sorry, I already masturbated.

173

There was a seashell on top of the toilet that looked like a boob.

174

I can't believe you buy milk and bras at the same place.

175

God, we're trash.

176

Alright gang, time to head inside.

177

Now one quick heads up.

178

Every room has a lake view except one.

179

Somebody's gonna have to look out over that girls volleyball camp next door.

180

Nice serve, Stacy!

181

You can't just say you're a teacher.

182

Oh no. Every other man these days throws on a dress and suddenly he's a woman, so...

183

Okay, I met with community leaders, and I'm going to learn and listen.

184

Anyway, I'm a teacher now.

185

We now return to Abbott and Costello Elementary.

186

Okay, so as the new vice principal, it's important that you learn all the names of our faculty.

187

That's what I want to find out.

188

Well, it's very simple.

189

We have Mr. Present, Mr. Absent, Mr. Here, Mr. Yep, and Ms. Yo.

190

Okay, and all of them are here?

191

Well, no, only one of them is here.

192

You don't see all of them?

193

Of course I do.

194

But you just said only one of them is here.

195

What about this guy?

196

No, no, no, he's not here.

197

He's absent.

198

Let's just take attendance, okay?

199

Mr. Absent.

200

Here.

201

Mr. Here.

202

Present.

203

Mr. Yep.

204

Yep.

205

Ms. Yo.

206

Yep.

207

Mr. Present.

208

Mr. Present.

209

So present is absent.

210

Wait, present is absent?

211

That's right.

212

I thought you said he was absent.

213

He is.

214

But he's present.

215

No, he's not present.

216

Present is absent.

217

Wait, so who's present and who's absent?

218

He's absent and present is absent.

219

So he is present.

220

No, he's absent.

221

So he's here, but present is absent and absent is present?

222

Now that's the first thing you've said right.

223

I don't even know what I said!

224

Lois, this is Joe, and this is Cleveland, in a scene that can be cut without loss of continuity in certain red states.

225

Guys, Lois is visiting from Cityopolis.

226

Oh, is she now?

227

Oh, is she now?

228

He's definitely getting cut.

229

Nice to meet you all.

230

Lois, you are in for a treat.

231

Aunt Ma's pies are the best around.

232

It'll help take off that big city edge.

233

It'll help you take off that big city edge.

234

You're welcome, Florida Panhandle.

235

Mom says no more screen time, so I'm going to read you a book.

236

This one is called There's a Monster at the End of This Book.

237

Ah!

238

Peter?

239

Stewie?

240

Where'd you guys go?

241

Lois, you need to very carefully remove that book from this room.

242

Why bring it into the house?

243

Why take that chance?

244

Peter, enough.

245

Read to Stewie.

246

Hi, I'm Green Tea.

247

I have an extra ticket to see Three Dog Night at the fairground this weekend.

248

It's none of the original members and none of the original fake members.

249

What do you say we Shambala over around 6?

250

This sucks!

251

Since we have more time on our hands, we're gonna get into social justice.

252

And I got a Black Lives Matter sign to put on our lawn.

253

Ooh, we should also put up a sign in support of the trans community.

254

I don't know, Meg.

255

Suddenly everything's sounding very cluttered.

256

Mom's high school swimming records are getting shattered.

257

Ryan?

258

Treat? Where is it?

259

Where is it?

260

I've been a good boy!

261

Yeah, I don't have a treat.

262

I just need your help moving a mattress.

263

Don't do that!

264

You have no idea!

265

Okay, whoa, geez, whatever.

266

Oh, holy crap!

267

Tom Brady?

268

I gotta call my almost-deaf brother!

269

Billy!

270

Billy!

271

Billy, Tom Brady just walked into our Dunkin' Donuts!

272

Tom Brady!

273

No, no, no, I'm not gonna call him Benedict Arnold!

274

Billy, I'm not gonna call him Benedict Arnold!

275

My brother Billy thinks he's Benedict Arnold.

276

Well, New England will always be home to me, is what I've been told to say.

277

Thanks for getting me sex, Spider.

278

Now go, be free!

279

Aw, that's sad.

280

But at least whenever a nature thing happens, David Attenborough has to narrate it.

281

The spider becomes a tragedy in nature's cruel circle.

282

Unmoved, the obese mammal returns to his den for procreation.

283

I'm not the first person with a dirty sex secret.

284

Wow!

285

I can see why they call you Catherine the Great.

286

Thanks.

287

And hey, do you mind not telling your friends about this?

288

I mean, if this gets out, it'll be the only thing I'm remembered for.

289

Oh, for sure.

290

Sure, totally, I got you.

291

That better be the sound of normal trotting and not horse high fives.

292

It's normal trotting.

293

Normal trotting.

294

Normal trotting.

295

I was in a parade.

296

There it is, Mount Doom.

297

Yeah, but how are we supposed to get there?

298

This valley's full of trolls and orcs and, oh, God, Mork from orcs.

299

Oh, ladies and gentlemen, Elvish Presley.

300

Don't be cruel to the hobbit's crew.

301

Thank you, Earl.

302

Thank you very much.

303

Oh, Gandalf the Grey or Gandalf the Gay.

304

Hey, watch where you put that staff, mister.

305

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

306

Peanut, doesn't this house belong to someone else?

307

Not for long.

308

Hey, guys, you had a thousand years to invent guns, and you didn't, so sorry.

309

I know, I know this sucks, but all of America did this, so it's not just me, so it's okay.

310

It's so obvious Tom is innocent.

311

Our society is blinded by prejudice.

312

Oh, that's so deep.

313

Nice armchair activism.

314

Are you a mockingbird?

315

Are you a mockingbird?

316

That's how you sound, dude.

317

Leave me alone.

318

Fat Snoopy says what?

319

What, you little jerk?

320

How dare you call me that?

321

What are you gonna do?

322

You're not gonna do anything.

323

Yeah, Mike Tyson, sit back down.

324

The horrible injustice.

325

God, this country is racist.

326

Oh, yeah?

327

I looked up your Instagram.

328

You sang Gold Digger at karaoke and you said all the words.

329

That's it.

330

I'm gonna kill a mockingbird.

331

I can't believe our son is in a play.

332

In a play?

333

He's in a scene where they said the title.

334

Dad?

335

But you died.

336

That means you're a g-g-g-g-g-ghost.

337

Yeah, but calm down.

338

This is Shakespeare, not Scooby-Doo.

339

So what are you doing here?

340

Well, I came to tell you the truth about my death.

341

But first, since I'm a ghost...

342

Oh, my love, my darling...

343

A lot of being a ghost is helping people craft.

344

Is there any chance we could go out sometime?

345

I'm so sorry.

346

You seem great.

347

But I just agreed to go out with that guy.

348

Actually, never mind.

349

I'm free.

350

If you want, I'm going to the Havana Club tonight at 6.

351

Bandit's trail leads to Golden Stream.

352

But look sharp, fellas.

353

To get there, we gotta cross through Indian territory.

354

Look.

355

Am I speaking with Mrs. Kowalski?

356

I like their long shirts.

357

Tell them.

358

I like your long shirts.

359

Peter, if you're gonna have a profile that can compete with the best of them, first, we need something to show that you're politically active.

360

Yeah, but these days you can't risk isolating anybody.

361

You need to make a strong yet vague political statement.

362

Here, take this sign.

363

We are us?

364

What does that mean?

365

Kinda just sounds like nothing.

366

You think we aren't us?

367

I...

368

I guess not.

369

You'll also want to wrap yourself in this American flag.

370

Are those question marks?

371

Look who's asking the right questions.

372

All right, now just kneel down in front of this fire station so the whole thing seems vaguely related to law enforcement.

373

I just don't want to end up old and alone like Bill Clinton.

374

Hey, Hillary, I realize there's no attraction here, but could you at least not wear my pants?

375

We now return to the Banshees of Ed Sheeran.

376

For every new song you release, I'm gonna cut off one of me fingers.

377

We'll break out those pinky shears, because here comes me new track, weak-chinned ginger lover.

378

What's up with your face?

379

Don't be alarmed.

380

I'm doing a series of peels before the wedding.

381

Trust me, it's going to look gourd the day of.

382

I'm sorry, guys, but I have to do this.

383

When you die, you don't think about how much money you had.

384

You think about how many matches you got.

385

Chris, come closer.

386

One of my matches was a Latina.

387

You've said that several times now.

388

She was from the Caribbean.

389

That's even better.

390

It's okay for you to go now.

391

Big fat ass.

392

Does anyone have a pillow?

393

War's over, Grant.

394

You gotta go to Appomattox and meet the Southern leader.

395

You know the guy?

396

General Lee.

397

All right, do some research on him first.

398

Oh, I know the guy backwards and forwards.

399

General Lee.

400

Right, but I need you to know him specifically.

401

I do know him specifically.

402

General Lee.

403

Look, you know the guy?

404

Yep.

405

You know him generally?

406

Yep.

407

You gotta know him more than generally.

408

Know who more than generally?

409

The Southern Leader, the guy you know generally.

410

That's right, I do know him very well, General Lee.

411

I, that's the problem.

412

What's the problem?

413

You say you know him generally.

414

I do.

415

I need you to be an expert on the guy.

416

I am an expert on him.

417

Are you just...

418

I'm friends with the guy.

419

We fought in the Mexican War together.

420

I studied his every move.

421

There is no one on the planet who knows him better than I do.

422

Okay, just to be sure, you are an expert on the Southern Leader.

423

Completely, totally, absolutely.

424

General Lee.

425

But, you, what, you...

426

You'll find her in the wind and in the trees around you, where the leaves blow and the river flows.

427

I'm sorry, who are you?

428

I'm Jared Fogle, the former subway spokesperson.

429

Not sure I want you in my thought bubble.

430

Aren't you in prison?

431

Yes, this is how I spend my days in my cell.

432

Hey, how many kids you got on this bus, by the way?

433

This is why!

434

This is why I don't want you in there!

435

I know exactly how we can monetize this.

436

I took the Bill Gates master class.

437

I was never on Epstein's plane, And if I was, it was just a routine flight for my charity.

438

But I wasn't.

439

Microsoft.

440

Huh.

441

Wouldn't you think John Goodman would be the big Lebowski?

442

Oh, yeah.

443

That's good.

444

I have a million of these thoughts a day.

445

Who am I supposed to tell him to, freaking Bonnie?

446

Can I say something?

447

Bonnie's not pretty enough to be as mean as she is.

448

Yes! That! That!

449

I'm really enjoying being on drugs with you.

450

I don't know why people say drugs are bad.

451

Oof.

452

Ooh, bad time for Philip Seymour Hoffman to show up.

453

Alexa, I'm going to the game with the guys later.

454

I heard you're going to be gay with the guys later.

455

What?

456

No, no, no, no. Now playing It's Raining Men by the Weather Girls.

457

It's raining men.

458

Okay.

459

Where do you think you're going?

460

Boar's Head is unveiling a new cold cut, and me and the guys won tickets.

461

So far, they've only released a silhouette of the meat.

462

I threw a hundred on bison.

463

Never know.

464

Peter, we have dinner with Crystal and Clay tonight.

465

We talked about this yesterday.

466

Lois, was yesterday a hard alcohol day?

467

Ah, yes.

468

And do I typically remember things you say to me when I drink hard alcohol?

469

No. Then why...

470

I forget.

471

I had hard alcohol today.

472

All right, let's get this over with.

473

I brought the whitest-looking lettuce from McDonald's I could find.

474

I'm hoping it has McNugget smell accidentally on it.

475

I brought today's newspaper like ya ass so you'd have proof of salad.

476

Got it.

477

I love my wife.

478

I love my wife.

479

I love my wife wife.

480

And inside this local tavern,

481

a portly gentleman has just consumed his annual salad.

482

I'm Garrison Keillor.

483

I was Me Too'd for quaintly groping, so now I'm doing this.

Obiettivi di parlato per questo clip

Questo video di "Family Guy" è perfetto per lavorare sulla fluency spontanea e sull'abilità di seguire conversazioni veloci e ironiche, tipiche del dialetto americano. Le battute ricche di riferimenti culturali e gli scambi rapidi tra i personaggi aiutano a esercitare l'orecchio e la capacità di rispondere in tempo reale, un traguardo chiave per chi vuole migliorare il proprio inglese parlato. Inoltre, è un'ottima occasione per esercitare la shadowing in inglese, una tecnica efficace per imitare l'intonazione e il ritmo nativo.

Banca di frasi riutilizzabili

"That just feels weird in my mouth" (Questo mi sembra strano nella bocca) – utile per esprimere disagio con una pronuncia o un'espressione.
"Don't ask which side" (Non chiedere da quale parte) – modo colloquiale per evitare di approfondire un argomento delicato.
"If you had another choice, you'd make it" (Se avessi un'altra scelta, la faresti) – struttura condizionale per esprimere rassegnazione a una situazione non ideale.
"I'm obsessed with gum resin" (Sono ossessionato/a per la resina di gomma) – esempio di frase con vocabolo specifico usato in contesto informale.

Correggi i tuoi punti deboli

Il principale problema di pronuncia in questo dialogo è la differenza tra "prescription" (pronuncia: /prɪˈskrɪpʃn/) e "perscription" (forma sbagliata), un errore comune tra gli apprendenti. Attenzione alla posizione della "s" e alla "p" iniziale: la pronuncia corretta richiede una "k" sonora dopo la "s". Inoltre, il ritmo rapido delle battute richiede di esercitare la shadowing: ascolta una frase, ripeti immediatamente dopo, cercando di imitare l'intonazione e la velocità. Per migliorare, usa un shadowing site o semplicemente riproduci il video in loop. Ricorda che "shadowspeaks" e "shadow speak" sono sinonimi di questa tecnica, spesso usati nei corsi di inglese per enfatizzare l'importanza dell'imitazione.

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.
