1
Did Jeffrey get greedy again?
2
No. A man named Kenneth Jackson is claiming my nut-free muffins put him in anaphylactic shock.
3
What happened?
4
Too much gluten?
5
Not enough gluten?
6
Harvey, this isn't funny.
7
This is my company, and my entire brand is based on quality.
8
I'm sorry.
9
I'll take it seriously.
10
Thank you.
11
Don't thank me.
12
Thank Lewis, because he's gonna handle this case.
13
What?
14
This is a business matter, not personal, and I'm not stealing Lewis's client.
15
You're not stealing me.
16
You already handled my divorce.
17
But are you gonna tell me that Lewis is a better lawyer than you?
18
No, I'm gonna tell you that he's a damn good lawyer, and he'd do anything to protect you.
19
That's not the point.
20
I need this to go away quietly, and Lewis doesn't do anything quietly.
21
Then tell him that.
22
He never listens to me.
23
Then get him to listen or get another law firm, because I'm not taking this case.
24
Harvey, I don't need another firm.
25
I need you.
26
You know what I think?
27
I think you want to go out with me again, and you came to me with this because you're afraid to say it to me.
28
I don't believe you.
29
You think I concocted a lawsuit against my own company just to tell a man I've already been with
30
that I like him?
31
Sure looks that way.
32
In that case, I guess I do have the wrong man for the job.
33
Thank you for taking the time.
34
You need to tell Louis you've been sleeping with Esther.
35
What?
36
Oh, please.
37
It took me all of two seconds to put it together after I saw you two mooning over each other this morning.
38
It's not what you think.
39
We bonded together during her divorce proceeding.
40
Harvey, you said you wanted to be friends.
41
This is me being your friend.
42
Friends don't accuse each other of things.
43
I'm not accusing you.
44
I'm looking out for you.
45
How is that looking out for me?
46
Because like I said, you need to tell him.
47
Well, you know what?
48
I don't need to do that because for once, your radar is off.
49
We haven't been sleeping together.
50
We slept together one time.
51
What difference does that make?
52
You promised him you wouldn't do it at all.
53
Donna, Louis isn't rational on his best days with issues that don't involve his sister.
54
Now, how is he going to take it if I do what you're asking?
55
And how do you think he's going to react when he finds out you kept this from him?
56
He's not going to find out.
57
Yes, he is.
58
Because I didn't have to be me to see the way you two looked at each other.
59
And someday Louis is going to see that too.
60
Donna, I appreciate you telling me this as a friend.
61
Now, as a friend, I'm telling you to mind your own business.
62
I told you to settle this thing.
63
And I'm trying to.
64
Then why did I just get a notice that the FDA is investigating my company?
65
What?
66
What did you do?
67
I was gonna settle, but then Rachel found out their lawyer has a history of blackmailing company, so her only option was to countersue.
68
You filed a countersuit against my explicit instructions?
69
You know what, Esther?
70
You came to me for help.
71
And I'll tell you how to bake your muffins.
72
Because you don't know the first thing about my business.
73
And you don't know the first thing about mine.
74
I don't have to.
75
I know you.
76
And you've got a chip on your shoulder the size of Montana, and when it comes out, you make everything worse.
77
You know what, Esther?
78
I was right to do what I did.
79
And for once, I'm not gonna let you treat me like I'm less than you.
80
Less than me?
81
Yes, less than you.
82
I'm always your buffoon brother.
83
Well, not this time.
84
You had no right to do this without asking me.
85
I didn't ask you because you wouldn't have listened.
86
No, you never listened, which is why I wanted to go to Harvey in the first place.
87
What?
88
You heard me.
89
How could you betray me like that?
90
I wasn't betraying you.
91
I was looking out for myself.
92
If you were looking out for yourself, then why did you lie to me about going to him?
93
Because you're always jealous whenever I ask anyone else to do anything.
94
You're my brother, Louis, not my boyfriend.
95
If you wanted Harvey so much, why don't you go to him right now?
96
I can't.
97
Because when I went to him, he told me I should trust you.
98
He really said that?
99
He didn't just say that.
100
He said you were a damn good lawyer.
101
I am a damn good lawyer.
102
But I should have told you.
103
Well, what are we going to do now?
104
It depends.
105
Do you think you can trust me or not?
106
I can.
107
Gretchen, where are we at with the Cabrillo claim?
108
I have to go.
109
I'm not Gretchen.
110
That's too bad for you because she's still in the habit of covering for you.
111
Covering for me for what?
112
I told you Lewis was gonna find out about Esther.
113
And I told you it's none of your business.
114
Well, it became my business when Lewis asked me about it yesterday, and I had to lie to his face just to get him to leave it alone.
115
I didn't ask you to do that.
116
Yes, you did, and you know it.
117
Donna, I don't have time for this.
118
I have an appointment.
119
What appointment?
120
I checked with Gretchen so you couldn't get out of this with some made-up thing.
121
Your calendar's empty.
122
You know what, Donna?
123
One thing I learned the hard way is not to tell your secretary everything.
124
Well, be careful, Harvey.
125
Because you're about to learn the hard way that I may have lied to Louis about this once, but I am never, never gonna do it again.
126
I got in a fight with Donna.
127
Fight about what?
128
She wants me to tell Lewis that I slept with his sister.
129
Why exactly does she want you to do that?
130
Because I promised Lewis I wouldn't, and she thinks he's gonna find out.
131
Why would you make a promise like that to Lewis if you had no intention of keeping it?
132
I had every intention of keeping it.
133
It's Lewis's sister.
134
But then I met her, and.. it happened.
135
Well, why don't you just tell him that?
136
Because he's like a four-year-old, and on top of that, he doesn't own her.
137
She's his sister.
138
But this isn't about his relationship with his sister.
139
It's about his relationship with you.
140
You made him a promise.
141
Yeah, and as long as he doesn't find out I broke it, it doesn't matter.
142
And in light of the story you told me the other day, that's probably what someone you know very well said to herself. Are you shitting me?
143
You're comparing me to her?
144
I most certainly am.
145
Right down to you putting Donna in a position not to say anything.
146
Donna is not an eight-year-old boy, and I'm not cheating on my wife.
147
No, but you're putting two people you care about in positions to feel betrayed.
148
Betrayed?
149
Yes, like when someone has an affair with someone else.
150
Okay, you don't get to say that to me.
151
It's my job to say things like that to you.
152
Then you don't know what you're talking about, because I've lived my whole life not to be her.
153
And when people do that, they very often become that very thing in a different way.
154
Well, I'm not goddamn her!
155
Well, then you better take a look in the mirror.
156
Because you made a promise, snuck behind someone's back to break it, and when confronted with that fact, you're denying all responsibility.
157
That sounds like an affair to me.
158
Esther, what are you doing here?
159
I'm actually going out to dinner with Louis and Donna.
160
Well, thanks for the invitation, but that's the last thing in the world I want to do right now.
161
That's not why I'm here.
162
I was thinking about what you said about why I called you first and then about how you handled it.
163
And I thought maybe you might want to take me out this weekend.
164
Esther, what do you think is going on between us?
165
I don't know.
166
I just...
167
You don't know?
168
Well, I'll tell you.
169
We had a moment.
170
It was nice.
171
But I'm not interested in sneaking around.
172
Who said anything about sneaking around?
173
I did.
174
And you just got divorced.
175
And you're a mother of two.
176
And I'm not gonna be the reason that... That what? That nothing.
177
Why don't you just go out to your dinner?
178
Harvey, tell me what's going on.
179
What's going on is you asked me out and I said no. So please, just leave me alone.
180
Harvey...
181
I said leave me alone.
182
You and I are gonna have a talk right now.
183
Okay, whatever it is, it can wait.
184
I need to tell you something.
185
Does that have something to do with why my sister just left here too upset to go out to dinner?
186
You piece of shit, I knew it.
187
What'd you do to her now?
188
I didn't do anything to her, Louis.
189
And when I say now, I mean as opposed to before when you slept with her.
190
That's right.
191
Donna, the one you tried to steal from me at dinner the other night told me.
192
Calm down.
193
I didn't try to steal anything.
194
You made a promise to me!
195
And even after I told you about when Esther and I were kids and the boys used me to get to her, you still went ahead and betrayed me.
196
Lewis, it had already happened.
197
And I was just now about to tell you.
198
Bullshit.
199
You were never gonna tell me.
200
You were gonna keep it to yourself to the day you died.
201
Lewis, you have to believe me.
202
I swear I was just about to tell you.
203
What you're about to do is get your ass kicked.
204
All right, watch yourself.
205
Don't threaten something you can't handle.
206
You don't think I can handle you?
207
You also thought I was too stupid to find out, but I did find out.
208
I found out that you're nothing but a lying, cheating...
209
I didn't cheat with Esther.
210
It was two grown people making a goddamn decision for themselves.
211
Well, that decision ended with her walking out of here near tears because she didn't have all the facts, like the fact that you're a serial womanizer who can't stand when anyone else has.
212
Shut the hell up!
213
So he takes whatever woman's inside...
214
I'm telling you.
215
...because he's so messed up from whatever goddamn thing happened to him in his pathetic childhood...
216
Shut the hell up!
217
He can't!
218
Harvey.
219
Get away from me.
220
Get the hell out of here.
221
Harvey.
222
Get away from me.
223
Get the hell out of here.

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.
