1
Wait, wait, what?
2
They took the 25 million?
3
Oh, that's what I'm talking about!
4
Woo!
5
Okay, Jay, tell them I'm on my way to L.A to give them a little John Hancock.
6
Right on!
7
Yes!
8
There, see?
9
I complied with your order.
10
Are you kidding?
11
What?
12
We can all go back to L.A now.
13
Everybody should be happy.
14
Ladies and gentlemen, the tower just informed the flight deck that the crew has hit their maximum allowable flying time.
15
Regulations require us to swap out crews, so unfortunately, everyone will have to exit the plane, and this flight is indefinitely delayed until the new crew arrives.
16
It's unreal.
17
This is crap.
18
What?
19
I just made a million dollars.
20
You guys would have done the exact same thing as if you have anywhere decent to go to in L.A anyway.
21
Money isn't everything, you know.
22
Wrong.
23
But I can see why somebody who looks as poor as you do would think that.
24
So, there aren't any flights to L.A until tomorrow?
25
Only standby, sir.
26
I'm sorry.
27
It's okay.
28
I mean, it's not your fault.
29
What's the frown for, big guy?
30
What's wrong?
31
You know that most of us won't be able to get to Los Angeles until tomorrow, thanks to you.
32
What, you didn't just order a private jet like I did?
33
No, of course not.
34
You couldn't afford it.
35
You're not rich enough.
36
Hey, I'm back.
37
Yeah, don't worry.
38
I put the PJ on the corporate credit card.
39
Don't worry about it.
40
It'll be fine.
41
Once we get the check, we're good to go.
42
Just book the best restaurant in town, all right?
43
This is not just a deal signing.
44
It's a celebration.
45
I'll be there in three hours.
46
Bye.
47
I really can't believe that guy.
48
I know.
49
I know.
50
But it's best not to get all worked up about it.
51
Why's that?
52
Because the universe tends to unfold the way that it should.
53
At least in my experience.
54
Jake here says that you are the toughest negotiator he's ever battled with.
55
Thank you.
56
So this is the best restaurant in town, and we can start feasting.
57
What do you think?
58
Actually, the founder of our company insists on being present for all deal closings.
59
Okay.
60
He asked if we could meet him somewhere else, if that's okay with you?
61
Uh, whatever it takes.
62
Lead the way.
63
Hello, Damon.
64
I'm Frank Jones.
65
You?
66
Impossible.
67
You fly commercial.
68
You dress like a plumber.
69
And you eat in fast food joints.
70
I come from working class roots.
71
My mother, she cleaned schools for 40 years to keep a roof over my head.
72
She gave me the original idea that led to my first million dollar project
73
and she taught me the ethics I needed to grow my company
74
and succeed in the jungle that you were talking about on the plane.
75
I've seen how money can change people, make them forget who they are, and I wasn't going to let it change me.
76
So other than retiring my mother and buying her a house, I live fairly modestly.
77
Why be a billionaire if you can't flaunt it?
78
Am I right or am I nice?
79
And that right there is why we're not going to have a closing deal tonight, or ever.
80
Whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can't back out of this deal.
81
I'll lose everything.
82
And those who measure their life by their bank account will never truly be rich.
83
All right, guys, let's go get some burger.
84
It's on for you.

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。
