3
You Hi, I'm blonde blazer.
4
I work over at superhero dispatch network
5
Hey, hi, yeah, I know who you are.
6
You're like, famous.
7
Oh, I don't know about that.
8
I'm just a corporate hero for hire.
9
You're the real deal.
10
You're the famous one.
11
Right, I don't think infamous is the same as famous, but...
12
Oh, God, your arm.
13
Oh, fuck.
14
Oh, yeah, that's gross.
15
Yeah, you look like some kind of.. mime DJ.
16
Let me see it.
17
I'll help you.
18
Usually dislocates the other way.
19
Okay, but have you done this before? Because maybe...
20
Ow!
21
Okay.
22
Wow.
23
That's, uh.. that's okay.
24
Thank you.
25
One of them is on that roof.
26
You look like you could use a drink.
27
What makes you say that?
28
Shit.
29
I'm all Skittles colors.
30
I didn't even realize it.
31
Yeah, well, you know what?
32
They can taste the rainbow in jail.
33
What do you mean?
34
Like, different colored dicks?
35
Sorry.
36
Sorry.
37
I actually didn't know what I meant, but you know what?
38
It should have been that.
39
I'm a little buzzed.
40
I don't really make jokes like that.
41
I think Vizzy's rubbing off on me. Who?
42
Someone I work with.
43
It's.. yeah. That was impressive.
44
Hmm?
45
Oh.
46
It's fine.
47
Don't worry about keeping up.
48
Something to do with the powers, it takes a lot for me to feel anything.
49
What a sad sentence.
50
Hey, you should give yourself more credit.
51
To do what you did for as long as you did.
52
Especially without superpowers.
53
Not true.
54
What do you call this?
55
I can fix that one for you, too.
56
No thanks, I like this one.
57
Thank you.
58
So, how did you afford all that?
59
You must have spent hundreds of thousands of...
60
Millions.
61
So you'll understand when the check comes.
62
You're serious.
63
Millions.
64
Yeah, I basically burned through my entire inheritance, keeping it going.
65
The last couple years have just been duct tape and sheer termination.
66
Why did you do it? Do what?
67
Sacrifice everything to be a superhero to the point of financial...
68
Ruin?
69
I was gonna say hardship, but ruin was the first word that came to mind, yeah.
70
You must be completely broke at this point.
71
Honestly, it's the only thing I'm good at.
72
Now that's a sad sentence.
73
Come on, that can't be true.
74
I guess it could be true.
75
so are you drunk yet
76
or what uh yeah yeah i should probably be switching to water good
77
because i was hoping after some drinks to loosen you up i could learn a little more about you
78
and uh if all that went well present you with a proposition
79
a proposition yeah i'm just trying to figure out if this is a fit or not you know
80
Well, then it's just a matter of picking the right moment.
81
Well, I have to say, Blazer, that does sound intriguing.
82
That's actually...
83
Not water.
84
God, this is like pure alcohol.
85
It's not like alcohol, it is alcohol.
86
I know because you spit it directly into my open mouth.
87
That's water. That, see?
88
How it has ice in it.
89
You drink hard liquor from a pint glass?
90
Actually, I usually just drink it straight from the bottle, but...
91
I thought that would be embarrassing.
92
I'm gonna go clean up.
93
I'm so sorry.
94
No, it's fine.
95
I will be right back.
96
hey i couldn't find you it's cool i was just admiring the art in this dumpster
97
can't tell why anyone would put those words together why are you holding drinks nightcap
98
you're in trouble actually according to the bartender that's exactly what you are What happened in there?
99
I walk out and the bartender's pissed.
100
The whole energy is awkward.
101
And I almost rolled the heck out of my ankle on this slippery floor.
102
Oh, my glass slipped and I made a little mess.
103
Just a little mess?
104
Yeah.
105
Does that not sound convincing enough?
106
Hold these.
107
I know a place.
108
You're stung.
109
It's a little out there.
110
Easier if we fly.
111
We'll be right back.
112
I actually thought you were taking us to sit on it.
113
Hmm?
114
Oh, yeah.
115
That would have been cool.
116
I know.
117
Yeah, this is better.
118
Because you can see it.
119
And it looks like there's a couple up there already, so...
120
I really appreciate you coming to my rescue back there.
121
I still think I could have handled it, but...
122
All I'm trying to say is.. thanks.
123
I should have just said that, but...
124
Yeah, I'm still talking.
125
Don't you worry about it, Robert Robertson.
126
How do you know my name?
127
Oops.
128
What's going on?
129
Okay, I'll tell you.
130
But only after you tell me how you ended up with a name like that.
131
Oh, you mean a name like Robert Robertson III?
132
The third?
133
Three times this happened?
134
There was Grandpa Bobby, then my dad, who I called dad, but everyone else called Robbie, and then me, Robert.
135
Because I wanted to be taken seriously.
136
Mmm, family tradition.
137
And more ways than one.
138
Gramps was the first Mecha -Man.
139
He died in the suit before I was born.
140
Dad was killed fighting Shroud.
141
That's when I took over.
142
There was a little inheritance and the life insurance money.
143
I'm so sorry.
144
I didn't realize...
145
Just your run -of -the -mill sad superhero origin story.
146
The family tradition, if there is one, is dying in that suit.
147
Which I guess I don't have to worry about anymore.
148
What is it?
149
I'm not quite drunk enough to share my origin story just yet, but remind me to tell you someday.
150
Definitely.
151
We can work with us.
152
No, this.
153
I'm...
154
I'm sorry if I give the wrong impression.
155
Oh, no. It's my fault.
156
I'm so sorry.
157
I totally misread that.
158
You didn't.
159
I mean, you did. But I...
160
I definitely...
161
The way I went about things tonight...
162
I'm sorry.
163
It was all a little loose.
164
A little unprofessional.
165
Unprofessional?
166
I'm not sure that that applies to this, but...
167
I'm actually here on official business.
168
How I know your name, the proposition I mentioned right before you spit in my mouth.
169
Still mortified about that.
170
It's fine.
171
Do you remember a superhero named Trackstar?
172
Remember, of course.
173
He's like family.
174
That I haven't talked to in a while.
175
What about him?
176
I work with him at SDN.
177
He recommended you.
178
Mentioned that he worked with your father.
179
Yeah, he was the youngest member of the Brave Brigade, so...
180
he was kind of my babysitter for a while how's he doing he's doing great he's he's why i'm here
181
robert i would like to make you an offer in exchange for dispatching
182
and mentoring some of our rookie heroes sdn can make you mecha man again
183
but this time with all the resources
184
that a company as big as ours has at their disposal
185
no more paying out of pocket for repairs support staff the whole shebang my suit was totally destroyed
186
i saw the report studied the footage
187
it's not totally destroyed just mostly it's a big investment it'll take
188
considerable time and money to get the suit repaired and the missing pieces replaced
189
plenty of time to learn how to dispatch
190
and level up some of the heroes on our roster your experience your work ethic your perspective
191
it's all invaluable share it robert you have a lot left to give wait
192
so you want me to sit in an office
193
and dispatch heroes that's the idea
194
but just until we get your suit put back together what's dispatching even mean oh right
195
i was supposed to test
196
you at the bar here the drunk people shouldn't be throwing things at drunk people noted am i waiting
197
or are you waiting what's going on it was supposed to open up
198
when i threw it to you okay there pop it on this is part of the assessment
199
and don't move too much in there you're sitting on the edge of the billboard
200
it felt pretty natural to me and
201
that it's natural for me to end up in a tier that said for a first time it feels pretty
202
Did I drool on you?
203
Uh, I don't think so.
204
Well, you see why we thought of.. well, why Trekstar thought of you.
205
It makes sense, yeah.
206
Meet me at the SDN offices tomorrow.
207
I'm not done saving you yet.
208
uh is there a ladder or
209
take your clothes off uh what's happening right
210
now we don't want too many people knowing your mecha man a lot of our dispatchers are former heroes
211
but it's better if you keep your identity a secret we've had incidents in the past here
212
i remembered you being bigger i was a little drunk listen
213
it's gonna be great i've never felt silly wearing this until now yeah i was trying to imply
214
that with the silence it worked get dressed i have somebody
215
i need you to meet oh sorry should i turn around
216
or what do you uh should i close my eyes maybe if
217
that makes you more comfortable it's fine i don't mind oh yeah no
218
it's sure i mean don't stare me straight in the eyes or anything because that would be odd
219
yeah i'll actually yeah i'm just gonna there
220
it doesn't look like it but i am flexing every muscle in my body right now really
221
Okay, well, you didn't have to say it like that.
222
I...
223
I want to say again I'm sorry about last night.
224
I regret the way I conducted myself.
225
It was a mistake.
226
A complicated mistake.
227
I can go into the details of those complications with you later.
228
Didn't it feel like a mistake?
229
At least not to me.
230
Well, that makes one of us.
231
It was a nice night.
232
Nothing more than that.
233
Yeah, I'd like to keep things professional.
234
Right.
235
That's why you brought me to this conference room to strip down in front of you.
236
Profesh. Are you serious?
237
Who locks a conference room?
238
So, uh, you're too fuck or what?
239
We kissed, but it was very innocent.
240
Like cheek innocent or tip of your dick innocent?
241
Okay, stop.
242
First of all, we did not kiss.
243
You kissed me.
244
Second of all, it's none of your freaking business.
245
Whoa, she cussed.
246
Must have been a good one.
247
Robert, this is Invisigal.
248
She is part of the Phoenix program.
249
We take former supervillains, such as herself, and rehabilitate them to re -enter society to use their powers for...
250
Are those my earrings?
251
Well, it looked better on me.
252
Invisigal, this is Robert.
253
He'll be your team's dispatcher.
254
A washed -up dad bod superhero with no superpowers.
255
Can't wait.
256
His identity, all of this, that's staying between us.
257
He's still Mecha -Man, but that can't get out.
258
And if it does, I'll know who it came from.
259
You think I want to tell people our dispatcher's a fucking loser?
260
Having superpowers doesn't automatically make you a superhero.
261
You're born with one, you have to earn the other.
262
Well, I'm wet.
263
I see why you like him.
264
Look at that trip.
265
What does that look?
266
Best Buy Fight Club?
267
Fucking hot.
268
We have a weekly ranking list for all the heroes in the company.
269
And she's at the bottom.
270
She called herself Invisibitch when she was a villain.
271
We're trying to rebrand her.
272
Yeah, I thought Invisigal felt kind of corny for her.
273
Oh, yeah.
274
The name was my idea.
275
Just get your shirt on, dad bod.
276
This is SDN.
277
How can we help you?
278
We're not the highest profile branch in the network, but we've got what makes the real difference.
279
Great people.
280
Some of them aren't even people, and they're still great.
281
one of the three copiers on this floor facts scan does
282
literally everything documentation one of the three d's at sdn
283
there tends to be a healthy amount of paperwork i used to call it triple d's
284
but i was informed
285
that i had a different connotation how many heroes do you have here network wide
286
we're over 300 here at the torrents branch we've got somewhere between 45 and 50, depending on our roster at any given time, working different shifts.
287
Yep, we're all about diversity.
288
Lana works in the mailroom, from a different galaxy altogether.
289
And then there's Galen, way back there, born with super hearing.
290
He's from, oh, I want to say...
291
Florida.
292
Florida, of course.
293
Florida man over there.
294
Hey, easy on the bath salts.
295
That was one guy.
296
Hey, speaking of bath, where is the, uh...
297
Oh, need a bio break?
298
Excuse me?
299
Restroom.
300
I mean, it's right over there.
301
Sorry.
302
At work, I tend to get a little...
303
Corny.
304
Corporate, dick.
305
Meet me in the records room when you're done.
306
If you get lost, look for the door that says records room.
307
What happened to your nose?
308
Hmm.
309
Here we go.
310
You have a tissue hanging from your nose, Robert.
311
I was trying to ignore it, but that became impossible when it started soaking in blood.
312
Invisigal punched me in the face, but I asked for it.
313
Robert, this is serious.
314
It's not, I asked for it.
315
Okay, there's nothing you could have said that warrants her hitting you.
316
Would it be any different if I said I literally asked for her to hit me in the face, and then she did it?
317
I.. suppose.
318
Okay, then let's go with that.
319
We're here to assess Robert's first shift, and aside from whatever happened here, I thought it was pretty good.
320
What?
321
Told you, Robbie?
322
I was watching on the monitor.
323
The work.
324
You did dispatching.
325
I don't think the Z -Team has ever had a better shift than that.
326
We just might need to confront the fact that it might be the best they can do.
327
Especially the way the Granny thing went.
328
Yeah, no, the Granny situation, that wasn't ideal.
329
But I've seen so much worse with Invisigel.
330
Let's be real.
331
She ain't gonna make it.
332
She's difficult to work with, sure.
333
But I see a lot of promise in her.
334
Really.
335
Even the other Z -Teamers respect her.
336
They're afraid of her.
337
I should have done better.
338
Maybe a couple wires got crossed toward the end there, and I could have been a little more clear with her.
339
You crossed zero wires, okay?
340
She crossed them for you.
341
Look, Robert, you should be proud.
342
The bar is very low with this group.
343
Well, it's not low for me.
344
Look, I like to make a joke and keep things light as much as the next person.
345
But when it comes to work, I'm not fucking around here.
346
If you want the Phoenix program to survive, the bar needs to go up.
347
And how would we do that?
348
By treating the Z team like what they are A bunch of villains
349
And leading a supervillain team takes a different approach
350
Than a superhero team I need to be around them I need them to see I'm all in
351
And they need to match that energy
352
Some tough love
353
The only kind I know
354
And based on what I've seen the only version they'll respond to I'm not saying everyone will make it
355
They won't I'm not saying it won't get spicy
356
It will But when it does I also need you to trust me to handle it I don't want you stepping in.
357
They need to respect me, even if I don't have powers.
358
Okay.
359
We'll do it your way.
360
Monday, we'll get them in a room and introduce them to their new supervillain leader.
361
I can't promise it'll work.
362
I can only promise.
363
That I'll do my best.
364
No fucking way is going to work, but it'll be way more fun to watch.
365
Chase, some optimism, please.
366
God damn it.
367
Yeah, I also promise to do my best.
368
Hey, kid.
369
What?
370
What are you doing?
371
Yeah, no, no, no, no, no. I didn't did this.
372
It's weird, because, yeah, I saw this lady, smiling lady, person put a donut on your desk earlier previously,
373
And it was nice, nicely on an apple.
374
And she just, she comes back and she just, it's crazy, like an evil mode.
375
And he smashed the same donut.
376
Ah, what a mess.
377
I'll, we'll clean it.
378
What?
379
No, no, no. No, yes, see ya.
380
I'm SDN's newest, he, he, he, he, he.
381
Hero?
382
Helpful janitor.
383
Helpful janitor.
384
Okay.
385
Cool.
386
So, it's my pleases pleasure, and it's my job, which you help me get.
387
So, thank you.
388
Thank you so much.
389
Happy to help.
390
That's.. it's Friday.
391
I'm not gonna ask.
392
You headed out?
393
Oh, yeah.
394
Great.
395
Thanks, kid.
396
Welcome to the team, Waterboy.
397
Yeah, welcome to you.
398
You too.
399
Hey, I want you to know us fixing your suit is not contingent on you fixing the Z -team.
400
I wouldn't do that to you.
401
That's good to know.
402
But don't worry about that.
403
I'm just really glad you're here, Robert.
404
I think we're going to do some great things together.
405
Hey, so do you want to grab dinner or something?
406
It's dinner time, so I assume that maybe, you know.
407
Actually, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.
408
It's a little awkward to mention, but since the other night, I...
409
Blonde Blazer.
410
Are you ready to go? Who is this?
411
I thought I'd cataloged all of your work companions.
412
Robert, this is my boyfriend, and I'm a man.
413
This is our new dispatcher I was telling you about.
414
Robert?
415
The third Robert Robertson, leader of the Phoenixes.
416
Blonde Blazer told me about you.
417
Really?
418
Did she, uh, say, I don't know, what came up in that talk?
419
She said you're a capable, honorable man that truly cares for others.
420
Why are you so small?
421
Hey, come on.
422
You gotta stop asking people that.
423
The way you spoke of him made him sound impressive.
424
I only seek to understand.
425
I apologize.
426
How was his first day?
427
Was his lack of size
428
and strength an issue? no he was great it was great it was a great first
429
that is phenomenal we should celebrate blonde blazer
430
and i have reservations in tokyo at a restaurant where the owner dreams of sushi
431
you should join us i'm sure they could accommodate one more especially a special occasion like this
432
oh yeah wow that sounds just amazing i would love to join phenomenal actually i don't know
433
if we can add one more to the reservation
434
and more importantly in order for us to get there in time we'd have to hit supersonic speed
435

436
he would die oh no perhaps another time yeah for sure
437
he flies a little faster it was very nice to meet
438

439
now could you step back the power of my launch has been known to stun small beings phenomenal
440

441
Robert, you got a sec?
442
Sure.
443
Yeah.
444
What's up?
445
About the other day with Phenoma Man.
446
Oh, yeah.
447
How was dinner?
448
Oh, it was awkward.
449
It's why I didn't want you to come.
450
Phenoma Man and I broke up.
451
Over Tokyo Dream Sushi?
452
Yeah.
453
It's just the timing felt right.
454
I don't know.
455
Sometimes you just gotta shake shut up.
456
It felt a little impulsive, but maybe it was a long time coming.
457
It's hard to say.
458
Oh?
459
Are you happy?
460
Uh, I don't know.
461
I don't think I know yet.
462
It is what it is.
463
But that's actually not what I wanted to talk to you about.
464
I was thinking about it over the weekend, and I'm going to cut someone from the Z -Team.
465
Or you are, rather.
466
Maybe I'm just looking to shake things up all over the place.
467
Create a sense of urgency.
468
You sure about that?
469
Well, less sure now.
470
You think it's a bad idea?
471
I'm just not sure how it'll play out.
472
The reality is cutting someone towards the bottom of the leaderboards will show everyone we're serious I'll let the team know
473
Oh, I already did I suppose it'll be an interesting shift
474
Hey, Bengal boy
475
More like Bengal bitch
476
Or bitch boy
477
Hey, Bengal bitch boy, fuck you
478
Way to go
479
Why are those assholes not being assholes?
480
Isn't this what you were going for?
481
Yeah, but I didn't think it would work.
482
I don't get it.
483
So, this one keeps the comm line one -on -one.
484
This one connects to the whole team.
485
And this one goes out to the entire branch.
486
Fuck.
487
Good job.
488
Yeah, you got off light one dispatcher broadcast the details of his botched circumcision HR nightmare did you mean all
489
that you really think she has a shot all
490
that stuff about fate sounded good but I don't know
491
if you were just saying what you thought
492
she needed to hear yeah everyone has a shot people are who they choose to be
493
if Invisigal wants this she has to commit it's too easy to quit when you're not good at something.
494
It's a steep learning curve. That was great.
495
This mission was textbook.
496
Genuinely, dude, I'm really happy for you.
497
So, it's between Sonar and Coop.
498
What?
499
That's not no. Invisigal's still at the bottom of the board.
500
Oh, the one in the bullpen?
501
That thing updates every hour.
502
Invisigal moved up.
503
Catching lightning struck really gave her a huge boost.
504
Bangle boy, really?
505
The donut shop escape, slipping past Malevola, now the jewelry store, really bumped up the wanted levels.
506
It's like missing the free throw on purpose to get the put back.
507
Yeah, exactly.
508
I don't watch football, but I get it.
509
Look, I know I'm not supposed to play favorites here, but even if she was on the bottom,
510
I'm not sure I'd have let you cut her.
511
Then it's a good thing she's not.
512
Yeah, so.
513
these two are now tied for last place who do we cut sonar or coop it's your call
514
i support it all the way
515
coop
516
if i'm honest she still feels a little evil yeah
517
that's too bad all right i'll get started on the paperwork i'll let her know feels important
518
that i do hey uh robert
519
Great work today.
520
Shit, Blazer.
521
Sorry.
522
Um, you know what?
523
I can come back.
524
Oh, no. Don't worry.
525
I got this thing tonight, and they were supposed to send the dress yesterday.
526
This isn't why you're here, but can you zip me up?
527
It's, uh, it's not mine.
528
By the way, they make me wear it, and it's back in a bag by midnight.
529
What is happening today?
530
Hmm?
531
What's that?
532
What's happening today?
533
The thing you're going to.
534
SDN sponsoring a dinner gala thing.
535
Radiant Valor, a night of triumph.
536
Why does that sound like a propaganda rally?
537
There.
538
Thank you.
539
Yeah, it does kind of sound like some sort of fascist -themed prom.
540
What do you think?
541
They were making alterations all morning.
542
No cause for alarm, but a little bit of your, uh, areola is out.
543
It's like a slight hue shift.
544
Oh.
545
I don't think I've heard someone say areola out loud before.
546
It doesn't come up a ton, no. Alright, for real now.
547
How do I look?
548
The breakup story is out, so I might be getting more attention than I'm comfortable with.
549
I think you look incredible.
550
Thanks.
551
I was supposed to be going with him, but I don't think he's gonna be making it.
552
The downtown branch dropped him.
553
Indefinite suspension. is
554
that your car i don't have a car
555
that's gonna be a weird insurance claim
556
i'd like for you to talk to him me why me
557
you're the pep talk guy you've been through a transition recently yourself
558
i think he could use some perspective like perspective to join the z team
559
Chase mentioned it.
560
Yeah.
561
The only candidates that make sense are him or Waterboy.
562
And at the moment, it's close.
563
Mostly, I'd like you to get him out of the parking lot.
564
Oh, and tell him to stop with the edible arrangements.
565
He keeps sending them, but with all melon.
566
That's disgusting.
567
I'll see what I can do.
568
I'm gonna choke on this fucking...
569
Hey, Robert, could you...
570
Spaghetti.
571
Did you eat my lunch?
572
Why would you do that?
573
Uh, I don't want to be a snitch, but Flambe was really hungry.
574
I mean, look at him.
575
Really?
576
Yes.
577
Well, if you're gonna eat it, I wish more of it got into your mouth.
578
Go get cleaned up, then clean this up, then pick me up a BLT from Johnny's, and we'll call it even.
579
Yes.
580
Okay, whatever that was.
581
Listen, Robert.
582
Jesus.
583
Anyway, you talk to Chase, who's it gonna be?
584
Phenoma Man or Waterboy?
585
And these two are my only options.
586
For now, yeah.
587
Obviously we can revisit it, but Waterboy is already a trainee, sorta, and you already know Phenoma Man got cut by DTLA.
588
Thanks for getting him out of the parking lot, by the way.
589
It might also help to get, you know, an actual good person on your team, which I'm positive both of them are.
590
Let's go with Waterboy.
591
I think he deserves a shot, and he seems shockingly more stable than Phenoma Man at the moment.
592
I hear ya.
593
Um, I might have him take care of this mess before he starts, but yeah, let's go with it.
594
I'll let him know.
595
He really looks up to you.
596
Does he look up to me, or.. wait, does he know I'm Mecha Man?
597
Yeah, but he said he won't tell anyone.
598
I guess that's good.
599
I'll let him know.
600
You'll see him in the roster for your next dispatch.
601
What are you watching?
602
Type S2.
603
You're spying on me.
604
Technically, you're still on the clock.
605
Didn't peg you as a rom -com fan.
606
If I'm on the clock, you shouldn't be pegging me with anything, Robert.
607
That's extremely inappropriate.
608
Especially since I'm usually the pegger, not the Peggy.
609
Noted.
610
Well, tell me how it is.
611
I wanted to see that one.
612
There's still at least 20 minutes of trailers.
613
I always forget what I'm watching by the time the movie starts.
614
Same.
615
You going solo?
616
I'm a loner, Robbie.
617
A rebel.
618
That night, I feel bad asking people to pay when I'm just gonna sneak in.
619
The only lame thing is I can't get snacks.
620
Floating buckets of popcorn do tend to draw a lot of attention.
621
Ah, but I miss it.
622
I miss popcorn.
623
See you tomorrow.
624
No spoilers.
625
Yep. Have.
626
See ya.
627
Too much coffee?
628
Wait.
629
Sure.
630
What's up?
631
This isn't what I look like.
632
I don't totally know what you mean, but okay.
633
The powers make me...
634
Uh, it doesn't matter.
635
I'm just gonna show you.
636
Are you good with that?
637
I, uh, have absolutely no idea what's about to happen, so this is very exciting.
638
Temper your expectations.
639
I...
640
I'm sorry.
641
You're disappointed.
642
Uh, are you.. are you kidding?
643
I can't tell if...
644
Are you joking, or am I joking?
645
It's a big difference.
646
You're what?
647
What, two inches shorter?
648
And a brunette, come on, it's...
649
Okay, maybe if I wasn't called Blonde Blazer, I wouldn't be so self -conscious about it.
650
People have expectations, and they never meet me first.
651
It's always the superhero.
652
It's hard to live up to.
653
Was that less of a mistake than the first one?
654
A little bit.
655
I'll take a little bit.
656
Hey, I'm Mandy.
657
Robert, it's really nice to meet you, Mandy.
658
Likewise.
659
Would you like to have dinner with me, Robert?
660
I would love that.
661
Whoa.
662
Oh, you fancy.
663
Well, it's all Michelin stars when you're on a date with me.
664
Oh, so this is a date.
665
If you think it is, it is.
666
Did you know that the Michelin star ratings were created by the tire company?
667
They gave high ratings to restaurants away from the cities to get people to drive more and buy new tires.
668
I'm both in shock and really unsure what to do with this information.
669
I felt the same.
670
Waterboy, you don't have to do that anymore.
671
He's allowed to go home, right?
672
Yes.
673
I'm not running a sweatshop.
674
Hey, Waterboy, go home.
675
What does he think that I could possibly be saying that would make him keep going?
676
You sure you don't miss the blonde?
677
Look, I actually prefer brunettes, so this is great.
678
Oh, is it now?
679
Yeah, I actually came here tonight to ask you to dye your hair.
680
Oh, wow.
681
What a coincidence.
682
I know.
683
It's crazy.

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.
