1
At the end of the rainbow there's happiness
2
And to find it how often I've tried But my life is a race,
3
just a wild goose chase And my dreams have all been denied Why have I always been a failure?
4
What can the reason be?
5
I wonder if the world's to blame I wonder if it could be me
6
I'm always chasing rainbows Watching clouds drifting by
7
My schemes are just like all my dreams Ending in the spring
8
Some fellows look and find the sunshine I always look and find the rain
9
Some fellows make a winning sometime I never even make a game Believe me.
10
I'm always chasing rainbows.
11
Waiting to find a little blue bird.
12
Feeling fair.
13
The End The End The End The End Oh?
14
I'm alive!
15
I'm alive!
16
Thanks for the fun time, hot stuff.
17
Yeah, yeah, listen.
18
Keep this discreet, you hear me?
19
I can't let it get out.
20
I'm offering my services to randos on the street.
21
It was a quick cash grab.
22
Got it?
23
Pfft, whatever you say, slut.
24
Ouch!
25
Ooh, such an insult.
26
Let me know when you come up with something creative to call me, you sack of poorly packaged horse shit.
27
Tell the missus I said hi.
28
Schnuck him.
29
Back up.
30
Boom on my way.
31
Yoink!
32
Hey!
33
Up yours, drag show!
34
Oh my god!
35
My drugs!
36
Damn it!
37
Those other cowardly sinners dare not hinder my territorial takeover!
38
A wise decision, the power of my machines are unmatched!
39
No other demon can compare to the likes of I!
40
Gee, that was pretty swell, boss.
41
Yeah!
42
You really showed them what for.
43
I liked when you shot them with your raygun.
44
I wish he'd shoot me with his raygun.
45
At this rate, I would seize control of the entire west side of the pentagram by day's end. And nothing,
46
not a single beast in this inferno of suffering will be able to take back this empire from my constrictive grasp.
47
Oh!
48
Oh!
49
Boy!
50
Boy!
51
The hell will be mine!
52
And everybody will know the name of Sir Bo- Death Lord!
53
Pardon?
54
Who said that?
55
What did you just say to me, you fried chicken fetuses?
56
Speak up!
57
That wasn't us, Mr. Boss Man.
58
You looking for a fight?
59
Old man...
60
Why don't you get that Tinker Toys bullshit off my turf before I smash it?
61
More...
62
Oh!
63
You wanna go, missy?
64
Well, I'm happy to oblige!
65
AHHHHH!
66
HAHA!
67
Good afternoon, I'm Katie Killjoy.
68
And I'm Tom Trinch.
69
Chaos out of Pentagram City today as the turf war is raging on the west side between notable Kingpin Serpentius
70
and self-proclaimed spunky powerhouse Cherry Bomb.
71
That's right, Tom.
72
After the recent extermination, many areas are now up for grabs.
73
Demons all over hell are already duking it out to gain new territory.
74
Those two seem to really be going at it now.
75
Looks like they're finding tooth and nail for that hotspot.
76
And I'd sure like to nail her hotspot.
77
Hoo-hoo!
78
You are a limp dick, jackass Tom.
79
Or should I say...
80
No, Dick.
81
Not again!
82
Coming up next, we have an exclusive interview with the daughter of Hell's own head honcho, who's here to discuss her brand new passion project.
83
All that and more after the break!
84
Suck it up, ya little b!
85
Okay, you remember what to say?
86
Yes!
87
Let's do this!
88
Just look at me, and I'll mouth it to you.
89
Come on, Vaggy, I know what to say!
90
I just feel like we need to...
91
I don't know, make things sound more exciting!
92
Oh?
93
What if I sing a song about it?
94
You knew I was gonna say that.
95
Because I know you.
96
But please don't sing.
97
This is serious.
98
Well, you know, I'm better at expressing myself than my goals through song!
99
But life isn't a musical, hon. Fine, but I have these other ideas of what to say.
100
The highlighted bits are the best parts.
101
Uh, it's all highlighted.
102
Is this a drawing?
103
Yes!
104
That's the happy ending, see?
105
Everyone's smiling and happy in heaven.
106
I don't think it's that simple.
107
Just please follow the talking points we went over.
108
And do not sing!
109
Okay, fine.
110
I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improv skills.
111
Hi!
112
I'm Charlie.
113
Katie Killjoy.
114
I'd say it's a pleasure to meet you, but that would be a lie.
115
You can put that away.
116
I don't touch the gaze.
117
I have standard.
118
Yeah?
119
How's that working out for ya?
120
Look, my time is money, so I'll keep this short.
121
You're not here because we wanted you here.
122
You're here because Jeffrey couldn't make it for his cannibal cooking segment.
123
You might be some royal big shot, but that doesn't mean shit to me.
124
I'm too rich and too influential to give up lying fuck about what some tux-wearing demon princess wants to advertise.
125
But I- So don't get cute with me, honey, or I will fucking scary you.
126
And we're live!
127
Welcome back! So, Charlotte...
128
It's...
129
Charlie.
130
Whatever.
131
Tell us about this new passion project you've been insistently pestering our news station about!
132
Well...
133
Ahem.
134
As most of you know, I was born here in Hell, and...
135
Growing up, I always tried to see the good in everything around me.
136
Hell is my home and you are my people.
137
We just went through another extermination.
138
We lost so many souls and it breaks my heart to see my people being slaughtered every year.
139
No one is even given a chance!
140
I can't stand idly by while the place I live is subjected to such violence.
141
So, I've been thinking, isn't there a more humane way to hinder overpopulation here in Hell?
142
Perhaps we can create an alternative way to change souls through.. redemption?
143
Well, I think yes!
144
So that's what this project aims to achieve!
145
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the first of its kind!
146
A hotel that rehabilitates sinners!
147
You know, cause hotels are for people passing through...
148
Temporarily.
149
Is this girl for you?
150
She thinks...
151
You hear what she thinks?
152
She's...
153
Ha ha!
154
Oh, she's nuts.
155
I figure it would serve a purpose.
156
A place to work towards redemption.
157
Yay!
158
Stupid bitch.
159
Look, every single one of you has something good deep down inside.
160
I know you do.
161
Maybe I'm not getting through to you.
162
Oh no. I have a dream,
163
I'm here to tell, about a wonderful fantastic new hotel.
164
Yes, it's one of a kind, right here in hell Hadering to a specific clientele
165
Inside of every demon is a rainbow Inside every sinner is a shiny smile
166
Inside of every creepy hatchet-wielding maniac Is the jolly happy cupcake-loving child We can turn around,
167
there'll be heaven-filled With just a little time down at the happy hotel So all you junkies, freaks and widows, creepers, fuck-ups,
168
crushes and zeros, stand-down-going superheroes, all kids here!
169
I'll love you cretins, sloths and losers, sexual deviants and boosers, impris, kept in drug abusers, lead to fear!
170
Forever there, we'll keep your head, we'll make the world go through the world!
171
Life here in hell of a happy hotel!
172
There'll be no more fire, and no more screams, just puffy doll kisses,
173
and cotton candy dreams, And puffy wuffy clubs You're gonna be like, wow!
174
Once you check in with me So while you're touching porn addictions Be careful,
175
keep predictions Ancient all-inclusive fiction And for a dear All you want is even crazy Can't hold and cry, baby Something matters for the baby So it's true We'll be complete
176
And I'm so mean Our smiles can be mean You'll be like,
177
bring that fun We'll be free Check the heartbeat AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Wow,
178
that was shit
179
What in the nine circles makes you think a single denizen of hell would give two shits about becoming a better person?
180
You have no proof that this little experiment even works You want people to be good?
181
Just.. because?
182
Well, we have a patron already who believes in our cause and he's shown incredible progress!
183
Oh, and who might that be?
184
Oh, just someone named...
185
Angel Dust?
186
The porn star?
187
You fucking would, Tom.
188
In any case, that's not even an accomplishment.
189
I'm sure you can get that hooker to do anything with enough booger sugar and lube.
190
Oh, I beg to differ.
191
He's been behaved, clean, and out of trouble for two weeks now.
192
Breaking news!
193
Shh!
194
We are receiving word that a new player has entered the ongoing turf war!
195
Let's go to the live feed!
196
Oh shit...
197
Oh shit indeed!
198
It looks like the one who just joined the battle is none other than...
199
Born actor Angel Dust!
200
What a juicy coincidence!
201
You must feel really stupid right now.
202
Ha ha ha ha ha!
203
Ready?
204
Don't look at this!
205
Well, it sure looks like your little project is dead on arrival.
206
Tell us, how does it feel to be such a total failure?
207
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
208
Yeah, well, how does it feel that I got your pen, huh?
209
Bitch!
210
Hehehe, oops.
211
Oh?
212
Hey, thanks for the backup, Angie.
213
You kidding?
214
This is the best action I've seen in ages.
215
Where you been, anyway?
216
I thought you up and died or some shit.
217
Oh, I wish!
218
I've been staying at this crappy hotel on the other side of town.
219
Some broads are letting me stay rent-free if I play nice.
220
You know, no fights, no pranks, no problematic language.
221
No words, not mine.
222
These crazy bitches are no fun!
223
Hon, you've been clean for two weeks!
224
Holy shit.
225
Well, sorta clean.
226
As clean as you can get, I'm doing a shitload of Bolivian Marching Powder.
227
Oh, harder, Daddy.
228
Son?
229
You whores have no class!
230
In war, the side remembered is the side with the most.. style.
231
Or the side that ain't dead.
232
Speaking of style, is your hat like alive or something?
233
Oh!
234
Well, that's none of your goddamn business!
235
Now is it?
236
Would that make your hat the top and you the bottom?
237
Mmh...
238
I'm going to blow you to bits!
239
Hmm, kinky.
240
Oh, not like that, pervert!
241
Not so cocky now, are we?
242
You know, you really gotta watch what comes out of your mouth.
243
I've been making these sex jokes the whole time!
244
And it's obvious you ain't catching on.
245
I mean, it's just sex!
246
So think you're gonna get in a lot of trouble for this?
247
Eh, what's one little brawl gonna cause?
248
Why won't anyone help me?
249
Glad you haven't changed.
250
You know you're my favorite guy to party with.
251
You know it, sugar tits.
252
You ready to finish this?
253
I'm ready, baby.
254
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
255
What?
256
What?
257
What?!
258
What were you doing?!
259
I owed my girl buddy a solid!
260
Isn't that a redeeming quality?
261
Helping friends with stuff?
262
NOT with turf wars that result in territorial genocide!
263
Eh, you win some, you lose a few hundred.
264
Hehehehe.
265
It wasn't that bad anyway.
266
Oh, come on!
267
I had to!
268
My credibility was on the line!
269
I mean, what kind of reputation would I have if people found out I was trying to go clean?
270
It just throws out my entire persona.
271
Your credibility?
272
What about the hotels?
273
Your little stunt made us look like a fucking joke!
274
No, no, no, babe.
275
Jokes are funny.
276
I made you look.. uh.. sad. And pathetic.
277
Like an orphan.. with no arms.. or legs.
278
Uh...
279
Oh! With progeria!
280
Great!
281
Now I'm bummed thinking about it!
282
Does this thing have any liquor?
283
Can you please just try to take this seriously?
284
Fine, I'll try.
285
Just don't get your taco in a twist, baby.
286
Was that you trying to be sexist or racist?
287
Whatever pisses you off more.
288
Is there seriously no liquor in here?
289
I'm gonna kill him.
290
Too late, Toots.
291
Wait!
292
Would that make me double dead?
293
Where exactly do I go?
294
To double hell?
295
Sorry.
296
You're stuck with me, bitch.
297
Get used to it.
298
What the hell is this, man?
299
Listen, who cares if some Jagops got hurt?
300
Most of them are ugly freaks.
301
Look around.
302
We got a bunch of fucking Harlequin babies down here.
303
You're one to talk.
304
Hey!
305
This body is flawless.
306
Everyone wants some of me, and I got the creepy fan letters to prove it.
307
That was really uncool, you know, Angel.
308
Uncool?
309
After that train wreck, There is no way ANYONE is gonna wanna stay at the hotel!
310
All thanks to you and YOUR selfish bullshit!
311
Does that mean I don't have a free room anymore?
312
Ah, well, shucks.
313
Hey, come on.
314
We don't know if things are over yet.
315
Try to relax, Vaggy.
316
It'll be okay.
317
Ugh!
318
It's probably a good idea to get some actual food in this place.
319
You know, to feed all the wayward souls you got in here.
320
Hehehe!
321
Eh...
322
Eh...
323
Eh...
324
Hey mom, um, I know I keep calling and you must be busy,
325
really busy, but um, the interview didn't go well and I don't know if I'm going to make a difference.
326
I don't know what I'm doing.
327
I could really use some advice mom.
328
I I think dad was right about me Anyway,
329
I'll stop talking before this gets long.
330
Love you.
331
Bye The End
332
Hello!
333
Oh!
334
Hey Baggy?
335
What?
336
The radio demon is at the door!
337
What?
338
Uh, who?
339
What should I do?
340
Well, don't let him in! May I speak now?
341
You may.
342
Alistair, pleasure to be meeting you, sweetheart.
343
Quite a pleasure.
344
Excuse my sudden visit, but I saw your fiasco on the picture show, and I just couldn't resist.
345
What a performance!
346
Why, I haven't been that entertained since the stock market crash of 1929!
347
Ha ha ha ha ha!
348
So many orphans...
349
Stop right there!
350
Cabron y corberra!
351
I know your game.
352
And I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone here, you pompous, cheesy talk show shitlord!
353
Dear, if I wanted to hurt anyone here, I would have done so already.
354
No, I'm here because I want to help!
355
Say what now?
356
Help!
357
Hello?
358
Is this thing on?
359
Testing?
360
Testing!
361
Well, I heard you loud and clear!
362
Um, you want to help with...
363
This ridiculous thing you're trying to do!
364
This hotel!
365
I want to help you run it! But.. why?
366
Why does anyone do anything?
367
Sheer absolute boredom!
368
I've lacked inspiration for decades.
369
My work became mundane, lacking focus.
370
Aimless!
371
I've come to crave a new form of entertainment!
372
Does getting into a fistfight with a reporter count as entertainment?
373
It's the purest kind, my dear.
374
Reality!
375
It's the purest kind, my dear.
376
Reality!
377
True passion!
378
After all, the world is a stage.
379
And the stage is a world of entertainment.
380
So.. does this mean that you think it's possible to rehabilitate a demon?
381
Of course not!
382
That's wacky nonsense!
383
Redemption!
384
Oh, the non-existent humanity!
385
No, no, no, no!
386
I don't think there's anything left that could save such loathsome sinners.
387
The chance given was the life they lived before.
388
The punishment is this!
389
There is no one doing what is done.
390
So then why do you want to help me if you don't believe in my cause?
391
Considered an investment in ongoing entertainment for myself!
392
I want to watch the scum of the world struggle to climb up the hill of betterment!
393
Only to repeatedly trip and tumble down to the fiery pit of failure.
394
Rrrrrrrrrrrrriiiight.
395
Yes, indeedy.
396
I see big things coming your way, and who better to help you than I?
397
Uh, so, uh, what's the deal with smiles over there?
398
Wait, you've never heard of him before?
399
You've been here longer than me.
400
The radio demon, one of the most powerful beings hell has ever seen?
401
Eh, not big on politics.
402
Ugh.
403
Decades ago, Alistair manifested in hell, seemingly overnight.
404
He began to topple overlords who had been dominant for centuries.
405
That kind of raw power had never been harnessed by a mortal soul before.
406
Then, he broadcast his carnage all throughout Hell, just so everyone could witness his ability.
407
Sinners started calling him the Radial Demon.
408
As lazy as that is.
409
Many have speculated what unimaginable force enabled him to rival our world's most ancient and destructive evils.
410
But one thing's for sure.
411
He's an unpredictable source of danger, a wicked spirit of mystery, and a violent monster of chaos,
412
the likes of which we can't risk getting involved with unless we want to end up erased.
413
Ya done?
414
He looks like a strawberry pimp.
415
Well, I don't trust him.
416
To be fair, do you trust any man?
417
Any men?
418
Men.
419
Charlie, listen to me.
420
You can't believe this creep.
421
He isn't just a happy face.
422
He's a dealmaker.
423
It's pure evil.
424
He can't be redeemed.
425
And is most likely looking for a way to destroy everything we're trying to do.
426
I.. we don't know that.
427
Look, I know he's bad, and I know he probably doesn't want to change.
428
But the whole point of this is to give people a chance.
429
To have faith, things will be better.
430
How can I turn someone away?
431
I can't.
432
It goes against everything I'm trying to do.
433
Everything I believe in.
434
Just trust me.
435
I can take care of myself.
436
Charlie, whatever you do, do not make a deal with him.
437
Don't worry, I picked up one thing from my dad.
438
You don't take shit from other demons.
439
Okay, so now you're sketchy as fuck and you clearly see what I'm trying to do here as a joke.
440
But I don't.
441
I think everyone deserves a chance to prove they can be better, so I'm taking your offer to help.
442
On the condition that there be no trickster voodoo strings attached.
443
So it's a deal then?
444
Nope, no shaking, no deals.
445
I...
446
Hmm...
447
As Princess of Hell and heir to the throne, I, uh, hereby order that you help with this hotel.
448
For as long as you desire.
449
Sound fair?
450
Hmm...
451
Fair enough.
452
Cool beans.
453
Smile, my dear!
454
You know you're never fully dressed without one!
455
So where is your hotel staff?
456
Uh, well...
457
Oh, you're going to need more than that.
458
And what can you do, my effeminate fellow?
459
I can suck your dick.
460
Ha!
461
No. Your loss.
462
Well, this just won't do.
463
I suppose I can cash in a few favors to liven things up.
464
This little darling is nifty!
465
Hi, I'm nifty!
466
It's nice to meet you!
467
It's been a while since I've made new friends.
468
Why are you all women?
469
Hi, many men here!
470
I'm sorry if that's rude.
471
Oh man, this place is filthy!
472
It really needs a ladies touch.
473
Which is weird because you're all ladies, no offense.
474
Oh my gosh, this is awful!
475
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope!
476
Ah!
477
Nope!
478
Ha!
479
Freedom and weep boys!
480
Hell?
481
What the fuck is this?
482
You!
483
Ah, Husker, my good friend!
484
Glad you could make it!
485
Don't you Husker me, you son of a bitch!
486
I was about to win the whole damn pot!
487
Good to see you too!

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
