It's me.
58
Help has arrived.
59
Just keep your eyes blue to that door.
60
Snake, come on, Snake, open up.
61
Relax.
62
These doors are complicated. Are you kidding me?
63
What do you think you're doing?
64
We're supposed to save them, not eat them?
65
Well, I'd say they've gone to a better place.

That's it.
67
Spit them out!
68
We don't save you better than you like it enough!

84
Guess I'm still the best bad guy the world has ever seen.
85
At least I used to be.
86
Nope, time for the best.
87
Just like riding a stolen bicycle.
88
Oh, you got a little ouch.
89
Hey, why did you save us anyway?
90
After the gala, I knew something wasn't right, so I did some investigating and that meteor-- I know.
91
Some kind of cosmic mega superintending thing.
92
Right!
93
If conducted through an array of ionized crystals, it will generate a massive psychokinetic field the size of a city.
94
Oh my gosh, did I interrupt you?

Were you gonna say that?

Uh...
97
I was gonna be a little more technical, but you got the gist of it.

It's Professor Marmalade!
103
He's bringing the meteorite back!
104
Huh?
105
I guess, yes.
106
Bringing it back?
107
That's precisely what I am doing.
108
Look no further.
109
Your hero has arrived.
110
Professor, I'm here to comment.

God, you're kind!
119
Give it up for me!

Wait a second.
121
This isn't the media, right?

It's a lamp!
123
Huh?
124
What?
125
Snake, what did you just do?
126
What?
127
My friend was sad and I was just cheering him up.
128
I think Wolf was right.
129
Maybe we could be more than just scary villains.

I'm bad, you're bad.

Let's be bad together.

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.
