1
Can you help me? With what?
2
I don't understand my homework.
3
You're asking me?
4
I don't understand my own homework.
5
- I know, but you're all I got.
6
- Thank you.
7
What kind of homework is it?
8
Thank you.
9
Grammar.
10
I ain't great with grammar.
11
Well, grammar's just talking, and we both talk good.
12
I guess.
13
Give me.
14
Thank you.
15
- There's a list of sentences and you're supposed to say if each one's a complete sentence or not.
16
The first one is most people in the country.
17
That doesn't sound like a sentence.
18
but asked me who drives pickup trucks. Who drives pickup trucks?
19
most people in the country.
20
Well, now it does sound like one.
21
I told you it's confusing.
22
I can't help you.
23
Don't be a big thing, no more.
24
Do you think we're stupid?
25
Shawn's in college right now and we can't figure out your homework.
26
What do you think?
27
Sometimes I tell myself I only look stupid because he's so smart.
28
Give me the book.
29
- Okay.
30
- Oh.
31
Don't just sit there and make me a sandwich.
32
Coming up!
33
Okay.
34
This says a complete sentence always contains a verb.
35
Which one's a verb?
36
A verb is a word that describes an action.
37
I play checkers.
38
You eat spaghetti.
39
We suck at homework.
40
The action is sucking.
41
So the first one on your homework is most people in the country.
42
I don't say an action word.
43
Neither do I.
44
Georgie, I don't think this is a sentence.
45
I think you're right.
46
Now I just have to fix it.
47
Put a barb in there, girl.
48
Thank you.
49
- I'm sorry.
50
Did you cry when you saw it?
51
No. Why not?
52
Because it ain't that big a deal.
53
Okay.
54
Thank you.
55
- Did you hang it on your wall?
56
- Get out of here!
57
- I'm telling people you cried.
58
- I emptied out this drawer so you can put your stuff away. Where are your clothes?
59
I threw most of them out.
60
You didn't have to do that.
61
It's okay.
62
They're old and full of holes.
63
And it worked out great.
64
I found some firecrackers in a bag full of my baby teeth.
65
Thank you.
66
Oh.
67
I also hung a cross over the bed for you.
68
It's just popsicle sticks and glitter.
69
I glued it together in Sunday school when I was a kid. Is it too much?
70
I can take it down.
71
No, it's...
72
It's really sweet.
73
- - Ugh.
74
- Why are you crying?
75
Did Georgie bring up your unfortunate home life?
76
Ugh, no. Good.
77
My mom said not to so that you would be comfortable.
78
Thank you. Are you comfortable?
79
Mom?
80
Yes, honey?
81
Do I have to sit downwind of Geordie's cologne?
82
So Veronica, I understand that you're a junior?
83
Yes, sir.
84
Do you have any plans for after high school?
85
I'm hoping for a scholarship to Baylor so I can get a teaching degree.
86
I like kids.
87
Really?
88
Kids?
89
Ugh.
90
You're so tall and pretty, you should be Vanna White.
91
How can she be Vanna White?
92
Vanna White is Vanna White.
93
Fine, she could be Vanna Blue.
94
See, this is the kind of nonsense you have to deal with when you're around kids.
95
He does have a point.
96
No, I love this.
97
We never eat dinner together at my house.
98
You eat alone?
99
Mostly, yeah.
100
Lucky duck.
101
Hi.
102
Oh.
103
Hey Georgie.
104
You okay?
105
Mm -hmm.
106
You sure?
107
Not really.
108
Um...
109
Dustin broke up with me.
110
What?
111
I mean, he said I was immature. Is he crazy?
112
Everything about you screams womanhood.
113
Thanks.
114
How?
115
I was wondering if you wanted to grab a bite to eat at the Waffle House.
116
Not like a date.
117
but as someone who recently had his heart broke, I think I could help.
118
What broke your heart?
119
I love you.
120
You did.
121
Oh.
122
Yeah.
123
I'm just saying.
124
I know what you're going through.
125
So if you need a friend with a pocket full of waffle money, I thought Dustin was different.
126
I thought he wanted to live a Christian life like me.
127
All he wanted is what every guy wants.
128
Gals.
129
Please, you're all the same.
130
Hi.
131
You rejected me?
132
You punched me in the face?
133
And I'm still here.
134
Happy eating muffles with you.
135
Georgie, do you really think you're capable of just being my friend?
136
That's a good question.
137
My brain says yes.
138
What about the rest of you?
139
Honestly?
140
I wouldn't trust it.
141
You!
142
- I know it's tough, but you gotta be strong.
143
Remember, you're not alone.
144
Hello?
145
Kinda busy.
146
Well, there's only one bathroom in the house, Georgie, and it's not for phone calls.
147
I gotta call you back.
148
Sorry.
149
What are you talking to? That Veronica girl?
150
Yeah?
151
What's going on with that?
152
Nothing.
153
We're just friends.
154
Okay.
155
Hey, you ever wanna run into this stuff by me?
156
I'm here for you.
157
Why would I want to run it by you?
158
Well, I was once a 15 -year -old boy.
159
I know what it's like to have strong feelings for a girl.
160
Gross.
161
I'm not gonna talk to you about this.
162
I saw that kid on Who's the Boss talk to Tony Danza about his problem.
163
They're not related.
164
This is totally different.
165
- I'm sorry.
166
Thank you.
167
Dammit, Georgie, you can flush once in a while.
168
Mind if I see it?
169
You sure you want to be sane with me?
170
Oh, please.
171
You're not a commie.
172
- Bye.
173
Everyone else seems to think I am.
174
Do you even know what a communist is?
175
Yeah?
176
It's the big blonde guy, Rocky Fights and Rocky IV.
177
And he also fights them when he's Rambo.
178
- Mm.
179
That's it?
180
Well...
181
I know in every movie it looks like the commies are going to win, But they don't.
182
You ever seen any Rocky movies?
183
Uh, I saw Rocky 2.
184
Hey, what you buying?
185
Eminence?
186
Cool.
187
Be in our plane. Am I in trouble?
188
You are if you waste your money on that machine.
189
What?
190
I'm selling the same stuff for half the price.
191
Cool!
192
Oh, you got Abba Zabba's.
193
Do I have Abba Zabba's?
194
Eh?
195
Yeah.
196
Hey, Veronica.
197
What was that about?
198
Just conducting a little business.
199
Careful.
200
My sister sold stuff at school.
201
She ended up in juvie.
202
Nothing like that.
203
Just handy.
204
Very entrepreneurial.
205
I'm impressed.
206
What can I say?
207
I'm entrepreneurialistic. Is that a word?
208
I don't know.
209
But if you got a lot of money, you get to make stuff up.
210
All right, well, good luck.
211
Thank you.
212
Pardon me.
213
I'm interested in getting some jewelry.
214
Well sure, what's the occasion?
215
There's a young lady and I'd like to get her something special.
216
Well, aren't you sweet?
217
I like to think so.
218
So what are you looking for?
219
A necklace, ankle bracelet? earrings.
220
Hmm...
221
Tough to choose between her neck, ankles, and ears.
222
They're all smoking hot.
223
- Veronica!
224
Oh, hey!
225
Come here, I got something for you.
226
Ooh, is it candy?
227
No, but it is pretty sweet.
228
Georgie, what did you do?
229
Just open it.
230
This looks expensive.
231
It was.
232
Check out the price tag.
233
A hundred dollars?
234
And that's without tax.
235
I can't accept this.
236
But I bought it for you.
237
Well, you shouldn't have.
238
I don't get you.
239
I went out of my way to buy you something nice and you don't even want it.
240
Georgie, it's too much.
241
You're not going to impress me by.. throwing money around.
242
You sure?
243
And material girl, Madonna loves it.
244
See you tomorrow.
245
Oh, Georgie.
246
- Let's go.
247
Where you get mad this only cost me 10 cents I saw you smile.
248
Go away, Georgie!
249
You can eat it or wear it.
250
It's up to ye.
251
Hey!
252
Hey!
253
How's school?
254
Fine, Mark.
255
Alright.
256
Mom says we never talk.
257
What was that on your belt there?
258
That's my new beeper.
259
Why in the world do you need a beeper?
260
so people can get in touch with me.
261
Trust me, when you're not around, no one's thinking I must speak with Georgie this minute.
262
Hi.
263
Lots of people have these.
264
Yeah, doctors and drug dealers, and you're not smart enough to be either.
265
Excuse me, I'm being beat.
266
Hey, how's Paige from this number?
267
No, I'm not Bruce.
268
Sorry.
269
Sounds like you got a real emergency there, Bruce.
270
Hello!
271
You page me?
272
Bruce?
273
Sorry, you have the wrong number.
274
Oh, I was trying to reach my grandson.
275
Well, when you do, can you have him tell people this ain't his page or no more?
276
I was hoping he could give me a ride to the drug store.
277
I need to pick up my prescription.
278
Bye.
279
Well, good luck.
280
I took my last heart pill this morning.
281
Sorry to hear that.
282
I suppose I could walk if I take it slow.
283
You are just a little lifesaver.
284
No problem ma 'am.
285
You know, we are gonna drive right by that farmers market.
286
You ever had their peaches?
287
I don't think so.
288
Well, then we have to stop.
289
I'm gonna buy you a peach.
290
You really don't have to.
291
I insist.
292
great with peaches.
293
- Okay, this is it.
294
- Well done.
295
Oh, hi!
296
You must be Georgie.
297
Uh, yeah.
298
My Nana says you've been taking such good care of her.
299
You're so sweet.
300
Thanks.
301
But she's the sweet one.
302
Isn't she?
303
Nana!
304
Georgie's here!
305
Ask him if he wants to stay for dinner.
306
I'm Frank.
307
What are we at?
308
Whoa, did somebody really die?
309
No one died.
310
Cool.
311
Where's dinner?
312
Anyone who wants dinner can make it for themselves.
313
I am not cooking.
314
Don't take it out on him.
315
Ooh, take what out on me?
316
Stay out of it.
317
You really want to start this up again?
318
Well, are you asking me what I want?
319
Well, that's a first.
320
Oh, please.
321
Your whole life is doing whatever you want.
322
Oh, really?
323
I can just leave.
324
Did I want to get stuck coaching high school football?
325
that I want to live across the street from your mother.
326
Yet I want to spend my evening getting yelled at by my daughter and my son and my wife.
327
I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were so unhappy.
328
Because you never bothered to ask.
329
I figured you didn't eat.
330
I made you some soup.
331
Oh, thank you.
332
But you didn't have to do that.
333
Everything's fine.
334
I ain't a kid.
335
You ain't gotta lie to me.
336
- Okay.
337
Thank you.
338
Honestly...
339
I'm upset with your father.
340
And I'm upset with myself.
341
Wow.
342
Cuz...
343
He's right.
344
Maybe I do think I know best and I can be critical.
345
Well, thank you for making me soup.
346
You're welcome.
347
Did you put water in this?
348
Was I supposed to?
349
It's fine.
350
Okay.
351
Bye.
352
Think this 208?
353
It's 2 :07.
354
I'm in the wrong apartment.
355
I just said that.
356
I can explain.
357
My girlfriend Well, she's not really my girlfriend, but she's had my baby.
358
She got evicted and I came to get her stuff.
359
Are you talking about mandate?
360
Yes.
361
You the dumb bastard that knocked her up?
362
Yes, that's me.
363
Not a romper.
364
Dumb bastard.
365
Ah, hell.
366
Put your hands down.
367
- Okay.
368
I ain't gonna shoot you.
369
- Okay.
370
Thank you.
371
I saw the padlock on her door.
372
Yeah.
373
And all her stuff's in there.
374
I came to get it for her.
375
I like that girl.
376
She's a good one.
377
I agree.
378
Why don't you marry her?
379
I'm trying.
380
She don't want her.
381
So you think getting a toothbrush gonna change that?
382
No. Couldn't hurt. So...
383
What do you say, can I go?
384
Yeah.
385
Thank you, sir.
386
Good night, sir.
387
Hey!
388
Hey, I thought you were working.
389
Oh, I'm on lunch break.
390
Borrow you something to eat.
391
Thank you.
392
Oh, I also got you some ginger ale for your tummy.
393
Why do you look like you're gonna cry?
394
'Cause I am.
395
What's wrong?
396
Thank you my whole life.
397
A year ago, I was a TV weather girl in San Antonio, and now I'm living in a garage with a 17 -year -old who got me pregnant.
398
I'll be 18 before you know it.
399
But not before you're a father.
400
Okay.
401
What can I do?
402
Nothing.
403
You're doing great.
404
That's how screwed up my life is right now.
405
You're the best part of it.
406
Thank you.
407
Thank you.
408
I'm really trying.
409
I know you are.
410
It's going to be okay.
411
- Is it?
412
I peed in the sink last night.
413
Trust me, I'll fix this.
414
Here's the guest room.
415
Make yourself at home.
416
Thank you so much.
417
It's only temporary, I promise.
418
Oh, no problem.
419
Stay as long as you need.
420
Bathroom's right down the hall.
421
Hellboy a bathroom.
422
I'll go get the rest of your stuff.
423
Thank you.
424
Question about your TV.
425
I want it.
426
Gotcha.
427
I don't know about this.
428
The last surprise you got me is pressing on my bladder.
429
Surprise!
430
You got me an ugly car?
431
I bought me a family car.
432
What about your Mustang?
433
I'll try it again. For this?
434
That's what the guy at the loft said.
435
But you love that Mustang!
436
Yeah, but there was no way I was going to get a baby seat in the back.
437
Well, that's very thoughtful.
438
And these things are real safe, too.
439
My mom has one.
440
When I was little, she had an ice cream truck with it.
441
I didn't even wake up.
442
It's a bad time to tell you I only liked you for your cool car.
443
You say that now.
444
But wait till you see how many groceries we can get in the back of this thing.
445
- - I can't believe you did this.
446
It was a no -brainer.
447
I want to keep her kids safe.
448
Thank you.
449
Hmph.
450
That was interesting.
451
Oh, grow up.
452
Hey!
453
What's with all the pink?
454
Uh, it's 'cause...
455
It's my party and I'm a girl.
456
Makes sense.
457
So, what are you doing here?
458
You know you're not invited to the shower, right?
459
I don't know.
460
It's just everybody's bringing presents for the baby today, so I want to bring one for you.
461
Georgie, thank you.
462
Open it.
463
Okay.
464
Sorry for the Christmas paper.
465
That's all we had.
466
It's beautiful.
467
Look inside.
468
What am I looking at here?
469
It's a sonogram.
470
of our little girl.
471
Thank you.
472
I'm not an idiot.
473
That is the sweetest thing I've ever seen.
474
I love it.
475
Good.
476
It was actually Amber's idea.
477
Oh!
478
Well, that's very thoughtful.
479
Thank you.
480
And Thank her.
481
I will.
482
All right, well, I'll let you get back to your party.
483
Okay.
484
I'm going to go.
485
You look great, by the way.
486
- Ah.
487
I think it's so romantic you two write into each other.
488
Just because there's a cheapskate.
489
It can be both.
490
Well, I think it's sweet.
491
Well, I can write you a letter if you want.
492
Please don't.
493
Why not?
494
'Cause your spelling makes me sad.
495
Thank you.
496
I can use small words.
497
Dear Manta, there are so many things I love about you, it's hard to know where to start.
498
But I will.
499
Sure, I could go on and on about your beautiful...
500
me in Where does the dang you go?
501
Pretty.
502
Boots.
503
But what's more important is what's underneath your heart.
504
Oh yeah, that's good.
505
Can we make air shell?
506
Oh, sure.
507
Hey question.
508
If you sneak into the bathroom to watch a woman shower, is that romantic or creepy?
509
Romantic.
510
That's what I thought.
511
And not just 'cause you're naked in the shower.
512
'Cause you're naked and all sudsy.
513
It's like watching MTV, but in the bathroom.
514
I hope that didn't sound creepy, but you're so pretty I can't stop looking at you even with clothes on covered with CC spit -up.
515
Oh You're reading my letter.
516
I'll come back.
517
Oh Oh, now you want to give me privacy.
518
So it was creepy, huh?
519
It was. Where are you going?
520
I'm gonna go take a shower.
521
Maybe I'll leave the door unlocked.
522
Bye.
523
Bye.
524
Well, alright.
525
Dad, get up!
526
Oh, God!
527
Why didn't you lock the door?
528
I didn't want to miss anything.

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.
