1
Mike.
2
Hey, are you okay?
3
Now you care?
4
Mr. Austin, you're gonna have to ask me not to speak to my client.
5
She's not your client.
6
She is Rachel, the paralegal, and I only have five minutes, so you should really get out of my face.
7
What's your problem, Mike?
8
My problem is that you don't have the balls to make this a fair fight, Kyle.
9
Lawyering isn't about fighting fair, and you better watch your false accusations, or I might just sue you for defamation.
10
Come on.
11
The defendant wishes to counter sue.
12
On what grounds?
13
I believe that's my line, counselor.
14
Defamation of character.
15
The plaintiff's video negatively impacted the perception of Lena Lunders and impaired her financial well-being.
16
That's ridiculous, Your Honor.
17
In order for there to be defamation, the statements made would have been false.
18
That's not the case here.
19
Then you should have no problem proving that in court.
20
Counter suit is allowed.
21
Are you serious?
22
Would you like to approach the bench and find out how serious I am?
23
Your Honor, the defendant should have filed counterclaims before the trial began.
24
Yes, he should have.
25
But no one in this crop of associates had the foresight to do so.
26
And we drafted a whole addendum just because we assumed one of you would.
27
So I'm going to allow it.
28
Do you have a problem with that?
29
No, Your Honor.
30
This is now a defamation trial.
31
You have until Friday to prepare.
32
Nice recovery.
33
Thinking on your feet?
34
But you wouldn't have had to if you hadn't been so naive.
35
Thank you, Your Honor.
36
How'd the negotiation go?
37
You come out on top?
38
Why didn't you tell me Scotty was opposing counsel?
39
Because I didn't want you to have performance anxiety.
40
About the case.
41
She's tough.
42
You're obvious.
43
Her fly's unzipped.
44
No, it isn't.
45
But it was earlier today.
46
You can do better.
47
Ooh, is that what Scotty said?
48
Type up the deal points.
49
I got her to cave.
50
Debeck's gonna run the show.
51
All I had to do was show her our books.
52
I can't believe it.
53
You gave me like the worst advice anyone's ever given another person.
54
Take the drama down a notch, Juliet.
55
I tried to settle and I got completely blindsided.
56
I told you to settle.
57
I didn't tell you to be stupid.
58
What do you think's gonna happen in the real world?
59
You have to be prepared for anything.
60
Well, in the real world, I won't have to be looking for someone to play my fake witness in my fake trial.
61
Wait, wait, wait.
62
What do you think?
63
You think witnesses are just gonna jump up and present themselves?
64
because they're not.
65
And sometimes when you have one, they disappear or recant.
66
And you know what you do?
67
You deal with it.
68
Mock trial is about figuring out what type of lawyer you want to be.
69
And there's only two types, winners and losers.
70
Okay, that sounds great, Harvey, but I haven't prepared.
71
I don't have anyone to play my client or my witness.
72
And apparently I'm going up against someone that I can't trust.
73
Figure out a way to beat them anyway.
74
Winners don't make excuses when the other side plays the game.
75
Thank 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。
