1
Okay.
2
What?
3
There is one thing that Harvey has been wanting to get for years, and he hasn't been able to.
4
What is it?
5
How did you know?
6
I talked to Donna.
7
She told me everything.
8
Define everything.
9
Oh, I don't know.
10
He kicked your ass in moot court three years running at Harvard.
11
Kind of upset about it.
12
Keeps you up at night.
13
Yeah.
14
Well, if she told you everything, you'd know he's been ducking me for the past ten years.
15
Harvey, I just told you this gift is better than MJ's jersey.
16
Do you think I'd make that kind of claim if I couldn't deliver on it?
17
What are you saying?
18
I'm saying that A.
19
Eliot Stemple is not ducking you today.
20
What happened to the skirt-chasing degenerate I knew back at Harvard?
21
Oh, him?
22
He's a named partner at a firm ten times bigger than yours.
23
Bigger?
24
Sounds like somebody's trying to compensate for three huge losses.
25
Or somebody's living in the past and too afraid to take me on in the present.
26
You're the one who's afraid.
27
I think you've got a little PTSD, post-traumatic Stemple disorder.
28
Why don't we go head-to-head right now?
29
Oh, I'd love to, but unfortunately my case is up on the docket.
30
But let's do this again really soon, okay?
31
AYZ Technologies versus Janus Microprocessors.
32
Mike Ross for the plane if you're on it.
33
Hey, Elliot Stemple for the defense.
34
What are you doing here?
35
Oh, I'm sorry, did I forget to put the name of my firm on the complaint?
36
I work at Pierce Inspector.
37
That's Spectre, as in Harvey Reginald Spectre.
38
I'm ready to hear pretrial motions.
39
Motion to substitute counsel, Your Honor.
40
On what grounds?
41
On grounds that he's a pussy.
42
What's that, Mr.
43
Spectre?
44
I was just wondering if he has a copy of his motion, because we never got one.
45
Not with me, Your Honor.
46
Something suddenly came up.
47
My niece, she took ill.
48
Well, when your family is sick, you have to tend to them.
49
Your Honor, Mr.
50
Stemple may not have a copy of his motion, but we do have a copy of his family tree.
51
He has no nieces.
52
I meant niece figuratively.
53
She is actually my goddaughter.
54
And what exactly is her name?
55
Sandra Silverstein.
56
Your Honor, that's the same fictitious goddaughter that's taken ill every time Mr.
57
Stemple's needed a continuance in the last five years.
58
Sounds serious.
59
Have you tried acupuncture?
60
They are completely out of line, Your Honor.
61
The only thing out of line is you.
62
Mr.
63
Stemple, not only will you not be replacing yourself, you'll be paying the court a $2,000 fine.
64
Hmm.

Woordenschat en spreektips bij deze les

Deze video bevat 64 zinnen en 449 woorden om na te spreken. Het gesproken deel duurt 2:23. De spreker praat snel, ongeveer 188 woorden per minuut, dus reken op verbonden en ingeslikte klanken. Slechts 80% van de woorden hoort bij de 3.000 meest gebruikte Engelse woorden, dus de woordenschat is pittig. 16 van de 64 zinnen zijn vragen, dus het is goede oefening voor vraagintonatie en korte antwoorden.

Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — iets dat eerder begon en nog bezig is | has been wanting · he's been ducking |

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 14 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, don't, I'd. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: acupuncture /ˈæ.kjuˌpʌŋk.t͡ʃɝ/, degenerate /dɪˈd͡ʒɛnəɹɪt/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: acupuncture /ˈæ.kjuˌpʌŋk.t͡ʃɝ/, microgram /ˈmaɪ.kɹəˌɡɹæm/, traumatic /tɹɔˈmætɪk/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: goddaughter /ˈɡɑdˌdɔ.tɚ/, microgram /ˈmaɪ.kɹəˌɡɹæm/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Begin op 0,75× snelheid, spreek zin voor zin na en ga terug naar normale snelheid zodra het makkelijk gaat.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als niece, goddaughter, acupuncture.
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
