Go ask the IRS.

They'll say the same thing.

Actually, I feel stupid telling you this.
79
I'm sure you would have been best to get them out of your shell.
80
Yeah, fucking A.
81
I don't need no smart wife-killing banker to tell me where the bear's sitting at Buckwheat.
82
Of course not.
83
But you do need someone to set up the tax-free gift for you,
84
and it'll cost you.
85
A lawyer, for example.
86
Bunch of ball-washing bastards.

Right.

I suppose I could set it up for you.

That would save you some money.

If you get the forms,

Sir.

What are you Jimmy staring at?
101
Back to work!
102
Oh, what?
103
And that's how it came to pass that on the second to last day of the job,
104
the convict crew
105
that tarred the plate factory roof in the spring of 49
106
wound up sitting in a row at 10 o'clock in the
107
morning drinking icy cold bohemian style beer courtesy of the hardest screw that ever walked a turn at Shawshank State Prison
108
pick up while it's cold ladies the colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous we sat
109
and drank with the Sun on our shoulders and felt like free men.
110
Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses.
111
We were the lords of all creation.
112
As for Andy, he spent that break haunted in the shade,
113
a strange little smile on his face,
114
watching this drink his beer.
115
Hey.
116
Want a cold one, Andy?
117
No thanks.
118
Can't go drink it.

120
Or maybe make a few friends among us cons.

Me?

I think he did it just to feel normal again.
123
If only for a short while.

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.
