1
Oh, honey, thank God you're home.
2
I was getting worried.
3
I picked up the divorce papers.
4
Uh...
5
I've already signed everything, and I put little X's where you need to sign.
6
Oh, little X's.
7
Great!
8
That makes up for everything.
9
You know, I...
10
You've done a lot of stupid stuff too, okay?
11
Oh, name one stupid thing that is as stupid as this one.
12
Okay, how about you flew to London to stop my wedding?
13
How about you told me you loved me after I was already married?
14
Wait a minute.
15
That was different.
16
I did those things because I was in love with you.
17
Yeah, right.
18
You're right that's very different.
19
So let's just sign the papers.
20
What?
21
Nothing.
22
Okay, can we just sign, please?
23
- I'm sorry.
24
Congratulations.
25
Okay, wait, Ross, wait a minute.
26
Um...
27
I kind of have a little confession.
28
What?
29
Uh...
30
Well, you know, this whole marriage thing.
31
Kind of my idea.
32
Excuse me?
33
Uh, well, remember how we were too drunk to remember anything the night we were married?
34
Yeah. And, uh...
35
Yeah, I didn't really -- I didn't want to say anything, but it just kind of kept coming back to me and -- Um,
36
remember we were in the casino and for some reason you thought it would be funny to eat a lot of grapes.
37
And, uh, and I thought it would be funnier If we got married,
38
So, as a compromise, we decided first to get married and then to eat a lot of grapes. So, um...
39
Sorry.
40
got us into this whole thing.
41
So then if you think about it, this is all Your fault.
42
Yeah, don't push it, though.
43
I got to say, I-- I know he divorced a lot of women.
44
Never thought I'd be divorcing you.
45
I know.
46
I always thought if you and I got married, that would be the one that stuck.
47
And it wouldn't be a secret.
48
And we wouldn't have our wedding dinner at Pizza Hut. Did I even treat?
49
No, it was on the house.
50
It was a newlywed special.
51
That may be the most depressing thing I've heard in my life.
52
I should probably get these to my lawyer's office.
53
Thanks, Ross, for taking care of all this.
54
Eh, no problem.
55
- I'm gonna need a copy of those.
56
Totally.
57
Yep.

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.
