1
The New York Times I don't have to tell you things are bad.
2
Everybody knows things are bad.
3
It's a depression.
4
Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job.
5
The dollar buys a nickel's worth.
6
Banks are going bust.
7
Shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter.
8
Punks are running wild in the street, and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it.
9
You know, the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat.
10
We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
11
We know things are bad, worse than bad.
12
They're crazy.
13
It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore.
14
We sit in the house and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms.
15
Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radios, and I won't say anything.
16
Just leave us alone.
17
Well, I'm not going to leave you alone.
18
I want you to get mad.
19
I don't want you to protest.
20
I don't want you to riot.
21
I don't want you to write to your congressman, because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.
22
I don't know what to do about the Depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.
23
All I know is that first, you've got to get mad.
24
You've got to say, I'm a human being.
25
God damn it!
26
My life has value!
27
So, I want you to get up now.
28
I want all of you to get up out of your chairs.
29
I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,
30
I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!
31
I want you to get up right now.
32
Get up, go to your windows, open them, and stick your head out and yell, I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!
33
Things have gotta change!
34
How many stations does this go out loud?
35
You gotta get mad!
36
67. I know it goes to Louisville and Atlanta.
37
I'm not gonna take this anymore!
38
Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis.
39
But first, get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out and yell and say,
40
I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!
41
I know what you're thinking, punk.
42
You're thinking, did he fire six shots or only five?
43
Now, to tell you the truth, I forgot myself and all this excitement.
44
But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and will blow your head clean off.
45
You've got to ask yourself a question. Do I feel lucky? Will do you, punk?
46
It's three in the morning.
47
You know that I, uh, I went up to your house, Dad.
48
They told me he was here.
49
It's at 3 a.m., kid. Is that Adrienne?
50
She's a good girl.
51
Me.
52
You know, I'm sorry for both of you.
53
Hmm?
54
Well, there's nothing I can do with it.
55
Except...
56
I'd like to tell you something once, and then I ain't gonna say it again.
57
But, Rocky, you got a.. another shot.
58
This is a second shot. At the, uh...
59
I don't know, the biggest title in the world.
60
And you're gonna be swapping punches...
61
We're the most dangerous fighter in the world.
62
And just in case, you know, your brain ain't working so good,
63
all this happens pretty soon, and you ain't ready.
64
You're nowhere near.
65
You ain't in shape.
66
So I say, you know, for God's sake, Say, why don't you stand up and fight this guy hard like you've done before?
67
That was beautiful.
68
But don't lay down in front of him like this.
69
Like a, I don't know, like a mongrel or something.
70
Because he's gonna kick your face in pieces.
71
You know that?
72
That's right.
73
This guy just don't want to win, you know.
74
He wants to bury you, he wants to humiliate you, he wants to prove that the whole world it was nothing but some kind of a freak the first time out.
75
Yet he said you're a one-time lucky bum.
76
Well now, I don't...
77
I don't want to get mad in a biblical place like this, but I think you're a hell of a lot more than that, kid.
78
A hell of a lot.
79
Wait a minute.
80
If you want to blow it...
81
If you want to blow this thing, I'm gonna blow it, would you?
82
If you want to stay here, I'll stay with you.
83
I'll stay with you.
84
Yeah.
85
I'd stay afraid.
86
I got a loose.
87
I guess this is just another lost cause, Mr. Payne.
88
Mr. Payne.
89
All you people don't know about lost causes.
90
Mr. Payne does.
91
He said once they were the only causes worth fighting for.
92
And he fought for them once, for the only reason any man ever fights for them.
93
because of just one plain simple rule.
94
Love thy neighbor.
95
And in this world today full of hatred, a man who knows that one rule has a great trust.
96
You know that rule, Mr. Payne.
97
And I loved you for it just as my father did.
98
And you know that you fight for the lost causes harder than for any others.
99
Yes, you even die for them.
100
Like a man we both knew, Mr. Payne.
101
You think I'm licked?
102
You all think I'm licked?
103
Well, I'm not licked.
104
And I'm going to stay right here and fight for this lost cause, even if this room gets filled with lies like these.
105
And the tailors and all their armies come marching into this place.
106
Somebody will listen to me.
107
Son.
108
Ray, people will come, Ray.
109
They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom.
110
They'll turn up your driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it.
111
They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past.
112
Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say.
113
It's only $20 per person.
114
They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it.
115
The latest money they have, the peace they like.
116
Ray, just sign the papers.
117
And they'll walk out to the bleachers.
118
And sit in shirt sleeves on a perfect afternoon.
119
They'll find they have reserved seats.
120
Somewhere along one of the baselines.
121
They sat when they were children and cheered their heroes.
122
And they'll watch the game.
123
And it'll be as if they dipped themselves in magic waters.
124
The memories will be so thick that I have to brush them away from their faces.
125
Ray, when the bank opens in the morning, they'll foreclose.
126
People will come, Ray.
127
You're broke, Ray.
128
You sell now or you lose everything.
129
The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball.
130
America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers.
131
It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again.
132
But baseball has marked the time.
133
This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray.
134
It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.
135
Oh, people will come, Ray.
136
People will most definitely come.
137
From the oldest of times, people danced for a number of reasons.
138
They danced in prayer or so their crops would be plentiful or so their hunt would be good.
139
And they danced to stay physically fit and show their community spirit.
140
And they danced to celebrate.
141
And that is the dancing that we're talking about.
142
Aren't we told in Psalm 149, praise ye the Lord.
143
Sing unto the Lord a new song.
144
Let them praise his name in the dance.
145
Amen.
146
Amen.
147
It was King David.
148
King David, who we read about in Samuel.
149
And what did David do?
150
What did David do?
151
What did David do?
152
David danced before the Lord with all his might,
153
leaping and dancing before the Lord.
154
Leaping and dancing.
155
And Ecclesiastes assures us that there is a time to every purpose under heaven,
156
a time to laugh, and a time to weep,
157
a time to mourn, and there is a time to dance.
158
It was a time for this law, but not anymore.
159
See, this is our time to dance.
160
It is our way of celebrating life.
161
That's the way it was in the beginning.
162
That's the way it's always been.
163
That's the way it should be now.
164
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
165
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
166
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
167
Your playing small does not serve the world.
168
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
169
We were all meant to shine as children do.
170
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
171
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
172
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
173
Sir, I just want to say thank you.
174
You saved my life. So what's this?
175
The taste-is-choice moment between guys?
176
This is really nice.
177
You got a thing for swans?
178
Is this like a fetish?
179
It's something like maybe we need to devote some time to.
180
I thought about what you said to me the other day.
181
About my painting.
182
Huh?
183
I stood up half the night thinking about it.
184
Something occurred to me.
185
I fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.
186
And I haven't thought about you since.
187
You know what occurred to me?
188
No. You're just a kid.
189
You don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about.
190
Why, thank you.
191
It's all right.
192
You've never been out of Boston?
193
Nope.
194
If I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written.
195
Michelangelo.
196
I know a lot about him.
197
Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientation, the whole works, right?
198
I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel.
199
You never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling.
200
Seen that.
201
If I ask you about women, you'll probably give me a syllabus of your personal favorites.
202
You may have even been laid a few times.
203
But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy.
204
You're a tough kid.
205
When I ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right?
206
Once more into the breach, dear friends.
207
But you've never been near one.
208
You've never held your best friend's head in your lap.
209
and watch him gasp his last breath, looking to you for help.
210
I ask you about love, probably quote me a sonnet.
211
But you've never looked at a woman who'd been totally vulnerable, known someone that could level you with her eyes,
212
feeling like God put an angel on Earth just for you who could rescue you from the depths of hell, and you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel,
213
to have that love for her be there forever, through anything, through cancer.
214
And you wouldn't know about sleeping, sitting up in a hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes that the terms visiting hours don't apply to you.
215
You don't know about real loss, because that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself.
216
I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much.
217
I look at you, I don't see an intelligent, confident man.
218
I see a cocky, scared, shitless kid.
219
But you're a genius, Will.
220
No one denies that.
221
No one could possibly understand the depths of you.
222
But you presume to know everything about me because you saw a painting of mine, you ripped my fucking life apart.
223
You're an orphan, right?
224
Do you think I'd know the first thing about how hard your life has been, how you feel, who you are?
225
Because I read all of the twist. Does that encapsulate you?
226
Personally, I don't give a shit about all that, because you know what?
227
I can't learn anything from you.
228
I can't read in some fucking book.
229
Unless you want to talk about you, who you are, then I'm fascinated.
230
I'm in.
231
But you don't want to do that, do you, sport?
232
You're terrified of what you might say.
233
You move, chief.
234
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor.
235
That's not my business.
236
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
237
I should like to help everyone if possible.
238
Jew, gentile, black man, white.
239
We all want to help one another.
240
Human beings are like that.
241
We want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery.
242
We don't want to hate and despise one another.
243
In this world, there's room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
244
The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
245
Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
246
We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
247
Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
248
Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind.
249
We think too much and feel too little.
250
More than machinery, we need humanity.
251
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
252
Without these qualities, life will be violent, and all will be lost.
253
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together closer together.
254
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all.
255
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children,
256
victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
257
To those who can hear me I say, do not despair.
258
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
259
The hate of men will pass and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people, and so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
260
Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, and what to feel, who drill you, diet you,
261
treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder.
262
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts.
263
You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men.
264
You have the love of humanity in your hearts.
265
You don't hate, only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural.
266
Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty.
267
In the 17th chapter of St. Luke it is written, The kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men, in you.
268
You, the people, have the power.
269
The power to create machines, the power to create happiness.
270
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
271
Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.
272
Let us all unite.
273
Let us fight for a new world, a decent world, that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security.
274
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie.
275
They lie.
276
They do not fulfill that promise.
277
They never will.
278
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people.
279
Now let us fight to fulfill that promise.
280
Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance.
281
Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
282
Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
283
You ain't gonna believe this, but you used to fit right here.
284
I'd hold you up and say to your mother, this kid's gonna be the best kid in the world.
285
This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody ever knew.
286
And you grew up good and wonderful.
287
It was great just watching.
288
Every day was like a privilege.
289
Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did.
290
But somewhere along the line, you changed.
291
You stop being you.
292
You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good.
293
And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame.
294
Like a big shadow.
295
Let me tell you something you already know.
296
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
297
It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
298
You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
299
But it ain't about how hard you hit.
300
It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
301
How much you can take and keep moving forward.
302
That's how winning is done.
303
Now if you know what you're worth, now go out and get what you're worth.
304
But you gotta be willing to take the hits.
305
And not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody.
306
Cowards do that and that ain't you.
307
You!
308
You're better than that!
309
I'm always gonna love you no matter what.
310
No matter what happens.
311
You're my son.
312
You're my blood.
313
You're the best thing in my life.
314
But until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life.
315
Don't forget to visit your mother.
316
Oh, you motherfuckers.
317
Okay.
318
All right.
319
I'm putting cases on all you bitches.
320
Huh?
321
You think you can do this shit?
322
Jay!
323
You think you can do this to me?
324
You motherfuckers will be playing basketball in Pelican Bay when I get finished with you.
325
SHOOT PROGRAM, NIGGA!
326
23-hour lockdown!
327
I'm the man up in this piece!
328
You'll never see the light of the- Who the fuck you think you fucking with?
329
I'm the police!
330
I run shit here!
331
You just live here!
332
Yeah, that's right, you better walk away!
333
Go and walk away, cause I'ma burn this motherfucker down!
334
King Kong ain't got shit on me!
335
Thank you.

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.
