The End The End The End Things I do, things I don't.

Things I do.

I do remember living here.

I remember running for captain of the neighborhood watch.

I remember seeing my campaign commercials on TV.

I don't remember...

electricity.

I remember torches.

I remember spells, magic, violence.

Cutthroat ambition, but now it's domestic disturbances.

Petty displays of neighborly dispute.

Well done, Watermer.

Watermer?

What do you remember?

Uh, what do I remember about what? About before.

Back in the black and white place.

Whatever it was.

How much do you remember from before living here?

I've always lived here, Miss Melissa.

And if I hadn't known better, I thought you had too.

Hey!

You were a baron.

You lived in a castle, remember?

We both did.

Right next to that stupid Polly's house.

Stupid?

Is this some kind of party game?

Game.

Close the door.

I was at the potluck.

Mr. Loops was saying something to me.

I had just arrived.

I was holding something.

So, uh, can I get you anything to drink, or...?

The camera flash didn't affect anyone else, and that wasn't the start of it anyhow.

Wow. So what was?

Maybe a consultation?

It was the light.

A flash of reflected light, and the camera flash caught me off guard too.

It's gotta be a surprise.

Watermer!

Oh, you're talking to me now.

Get me that glass of water.

Well, why not?

Please be forgiving.

Uh, what'd you do that for?

Malice.

Easy now.

I don't want to hurt anyone.

What have you?

Motion.

I couldn't move before.

Everything was etched in stone.

We were portraits of existence.

Some lachrum of life.

Calm down, Watermer.

You've got to breathe.

Sorry, I...

Wait.

You called me Baron.

You'd seen it too.

Yes, and I'm sorry, Watermer.

It was a healthy partnership.

Mutual hate and control.

I understand that now.

I don't want to go back to being evil.

I can't ignore it either.

Whatever it means, I don't want to figure it out without you.

I just hope that with time and perspective, I can earn your goodwill and...

Malice!

What a bad dream.

I can't believe it.

What happened to us?

I'm a doctor.

And you, you look great.

Ah, that life.

Like different people.

There was so much desperation and pain back then.

But there was a lot less when I followed you.

Don't exaggerate.

No, I mean it.

A disgraced baron.

No land, no reputation.

When I wasn't a guest at your castle, I was homeless.

Nobody else saw value in me.

Especially with, well, with all the crimes.

I'm still sort of reconciling all the crimes.

But you, Malice, you never turned me away.

As long as I brought some commissary with me, your gates were open.

Misery.

There was certainly a lot of that.

Yes, and it all came from one person.

So, what's the plan?

How are we going to finally get that goody gumdrop Polly out of the way?

No, no, no, no. Don't be hasty.

I believe we're the only ones who remember before, and all its atrocities.

I don't know what to do with this sort of advantage.

If we wanted to be wicked again, they would never see it coming.

It'd be like killing the family pet.

100

But living beside them, knowing what we do, that did, that's also going to be pretty bizarre.

101

Unless you wanted to help them remember too?

102

Heavens no. Our every day was spent tormenting them to the best of our abilities.

103

There's no way they'd just let us get away with that.

104

Maybe.

105

I don't know.

106

You're at least right that we shouldn't rush.

107

Exactly.

108

For now, I want you collecting your thoughts and your memories.

109

Luckily, this place is like a playpen with safety locks, so it should be effortless to let low.

110

Ah, did I leave my bowl again?

111

Thanks for...

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 30 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals don't, I'm, can't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

De “th”-klanken: breathe /bɹiːð/, cutthroat /ˈkʌtθɹəʊt/
De klanken “sh” en “zh”: flash /flæʃ/, partnership /ˈpɑɹtnɚʃɪp/, rush /ɹʌʃ/, reputation /ˌɹɛpjʊˈteɪʃən/, consultation /ˌkɑnsəlˈteɪʃən/
Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: reputation /ˌɹɛpjʊˈteɪʃən/, electricity /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɪsɪti/, consultation /ˌkɑnsəlˈteɪʃən/, desperation /ˌdɛspəˈɹeɪʃən/, atrocity /əˈtɹɑsɪti/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: arrive /əˈɹaɪv/, forgive /fɚˈɡɪv/, beside /bɪˈsaɪd/
/æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: flash /flæʃ/, baron /ˈbæɹən/, ambition /æmˈbɪʃ.ən/, exaggerate /ɛɡˈzæd͡ʒ.ə.ɹeɪt/
/g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: ignore /ɪɡˈnɔː/, gate /ˈɡeɪ̯t/, forgive /fɚˈɡɪv/, disgrace /dɪsˈɡɹeɪs/, goodwill /ˌɡʊdˈwɪl/

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.
