All right, we're at work.

Hello.
3
So, Chip, what makes you think that I'm gonna let the whitest man I've seen interview for our firm?
4
Because I have an appointment.
5
Hmm.
6
Thanks.
7
You can do this.
8
Kid, what is wrong with you?
9
You look like you're 11 years old.
10
I was late to puberty.
11
Okay.
12
I respect you.
13
Hurry up.
14
Come on.
15
Uh, excuse me.
16
I was thinking about going for a swim.
17
Are the pool facilities here nice?
18
Of course, sir.
19
It's the Chilton Hotel.
20
Best in the city.
21
Why is the pool closed?
22
And, uh, do you have the time?
23
Oh, it's, uh...
24
10 o'clock.
25
Thanks.
26
I saw your gun.
27
Oh, you think that's him?
28
That's his description, but he didn't go in the room.

It's 10 exactly, he's just walking by.
30
Go after him, stay on the radio.

Rick Sorkin.
32
Rick Sorkin.

Rick Sorkin?
34
Excuse me, Mr. Sorkin.
35
You are five minutes late.
36
Is there a reason why I should let you in?
37
Look, I'm just trying to ditch the cops, okay?
38
I don't really care if you let me in or not.
39
Mr. Spector will be right with you.
40
What?
41
Can I get you anything?
42
A coffee or a bottle of water?
43
I don't mind that, too.
44
Hi, uh, Rick Sorkin.
45
Hi, Spector.
46
Nice to meet you.
47
Would you have a seat here?
48
Whoa!
49
What's this? Can I help you?
50
No. Excuse me, Mr. Tate.
51
Who are you?
52
My name's Louis Slit.
53
I work for Pearson Hartman.
54
I have some information that I think will lead you to the conclusion
55
that you're better served in Pearson with me as your lead counsel.
56
I'm listening.
57
How the hell did you know they were to the police?
58
I read this novel in elementary school.
59
Cops are staking out a hotel.
60
One of them dresses as a bellhop, the other is a man in a suit.
61
It was the exact same thing.
62
You read a novel in elementary school?
63
What?
64
I like to read.
65
And why'd you ask them what time it was?
66
Throw them off.
67
I mean, what kind of drug dealer asks a cop what time it is
68
when he's got a briefcase full of pot, right?
69
We should hire you.
70
Jesus, I'd give you the 25 grand as a signing bonus.
71
I'll take it.
72
Unfortunately, we only hire from Harvard, and you not only did not go to Harvard Law School, you haven't even gone to any law school.
73
What if I told you that I consume knowledge like no one you've ever met, and I'm actually passed the bar?
74
I'd say you're full of crap.
75
That's a Barbary legal handbook right there, right?
76
Open it up.
77
Read me something.
78
Anything.
79
Civil liability associated with agency is based on several factors...
80
Including the deviation of the agent from his path, the reasonable inference of agency on behalf of the plaintiff and the nature of the damages themselves.
81
How did you know that?
82
I learned it when I studied for the bar.
83
Okay, hotshot.
84
Fire up this laptop.
85
I'm gonna show you what a Harvard attorney can do.
86
Pick a topic.
87
Stock option backdating.
88
Although backdating options is legal, violations arise related to disclosures under IRC section 409A.
89
You forgot about Sarbanes-Oxley.
90
The statute of limitations renders Sarbanes-Oxley moot post-2007.
91
Well, not if you can find actions to cover up the violation as established in the Sixth Circuit May 2008.
92
That's impressive, but you're sitting at a computer.
93
Playing hearts.
94
Sorry.
95
If you want to beat me, you're gonna have to do it at something else.
96
How can you know all that?
97
I told you, I like to read.
98
And once I read something, I understand it.
99
And once I understand it, I never forget it.
100
Why take the bar?
101
This dickhead bet me I couldn't pass it without going to law school.
102
Okay, look.
103
This is all pretty fascinating stuff, Pretty fascinating stuff, but I'm afraid I gotta get back to work.
104
I'll make sure that Serpico isn't around waiting for you.
105
You want this job so much, why don't you just go to law school?
106
When I was in college, it was my dream to be a lawyer.
107
I needed some money, and Trevor convinced me to memorize this math test and sell it.
108
Turns out we sold it to the dean's daughter.
109
I lost my scholarship, I got kicked out of school, I...
110
I got knocked into a different life.
111
And I have been wishing for a way back ever since.
112
Let me tell you something.
113
This isn't elementary school.
114
This is hard work, long hours, high pressure.
115
I need a grown goddamn man.
116
You give me this, and I will work as hard as it takes to school those Harvard douches
117
and become the best lawyer you have ever seen.
118
I'm inclined to give you a shot, but what if I decide to go another way?
119
I'd say that's fair.
120
Sometimes I like to hang out with people who aren't that bright.
121
Yeah, just to see how the other half lives.
122
Move over.
123
I'm emailing the firm I just found, our next associate.

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: memorize /ˈmɛm.əˌɹaɪ̯z/, inclined /ɪnˈklaɪnd/, arise /əˈɹaɪz/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: fascinate /ˈfæsɪneɪt/, statute /ˈstæt͡ʃuːt/, handbook /ˈhændˌbʊk/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als fascinate, violation, briefcase.

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.
