5
Michael, what's wrong?
6
I'm hurt.
7
I have hurt myself.
8
Oh my god!
9
This is not looking good, Pam!
10
Michael, do you need me to call an ambulance?
11
No, I want you to pick me up!
12
Okay, wait a sec.
13
I thought you said that you were hurt.
14
I am hurt.
15
I hurt my foot.
16
I'm sorry.
17
Pam.
18
I want to come to work, but I need you to come and pick me up.
19
- Oh, God!
20
- Hey, whoa, Michael.
21
- Oh, God!
22
- It's okay.
23
It's Jim.
24
Just say again really loudly what happened.
25
- Okay.
26
I burned my foot very badly on my foreman grill, and I now need someone to come and bring me into work.
27
- You burned your foot on a foreman grill.
28
I enjoy having breakfast in bed.
29
I like waking up to the smell of bacon.
30
Sue me.
31
And since I don't have a butler, I have to do it myself.
32
So, Most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman grill.
33
Then I go to sleep.
34
When I wake up, I plug in the grill.
35
I go back to sleep again.
36
Then I wake up to the smell of crackling bacon.
37
It is delicious.
38
It's good for me.
39
It's a perfect way to start the day.
40
Today I got up, I stepped onto the grill, and I clamped down on my foot.
41
That's it.
42
I don't see what's so hard to believe about that on Test Kit.
43
Okay, I'll be putting them everywhere and Please don't throw these out.
44
This is a radon test kit.
45
Okay.
46
Please don't throw these out.
47
see them all over the office.
48
Toby has been leaving radon kits everywhere, like he owns the place.
49
The first time I threw mine away, I thought it was an ant trap.
50
but I figured I'd rather live with Ants than with his creepy little disc.
51
The second time, I thought it was one of those,
52
you know, the things you turn over and moos, like a cow thing but upon closer examination, it was another ant trap, so I threw it away.
53
And the third time, I did it out of spite.
54
-Come on, Michael.
55
You're interrupting.
56
-You're kidding me!
57
God!
58
You say Radon is silent but deadly, and then you expect me not to make farting noises with my mouth?
59
What is this?
60
- You know what, we're not gonna die of radon, we're gonna die of boredom.
61
- Yeah.
62
- Right?
63
And if I had a gun with two bullets and I was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden and Toby, I would shoot Toby twice.
64
- No. - That's not...
65
- Okay, all right.
66
- You were being really funny and then you went too far.
67
- I would kill Bin Laden and then Toby.
68
- No. - But still...
69
Okay, geniuses, how would you do it?
70
- Yes.
71
It is true.
72
I, Michael Scott, am signing up with an online dating service.
73
Thousands of people have done it.
74
And I am going to do it.
75
I need a username.
76
And I have a great one.
77
- Okay.
78
- Little kid lover.
79
That way people will know exactly where my priorities are at.
80
Hey, cuz.
81
Heard you're having money problems.
82
No, you didn't.
83
Listen, I got the answer.
84
You declare bankruptcy?
85
All your problems go away.
86
How would that help, Creed?
87
In Monopoly, you go bankrupt, you lose.
88
You don't go by Monopoly, man.
89
That game is nuts.
90
Nobody just picks up get -out -of -jail -free cards.
91
Those things cost thousands.
92
That is a good point.
93
Bankruptcy, Michael is nature's do -over.
94
It's a fresh start, it's a clean slate.
95
Like the witness protection program.
96
Exactly.
97
Not at all.
98
I've always wanted to be in the Witness Protection Program.
99
Fresh start.

No debts, no baggage.

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.
