1
Let's go over our emotional responses one last time.
2
Okay.
3
Professor Tupperman is dead, and that makes us...
4
Sad.
5
The fact that there are so many people here tonight doesn't make us cranky and claustrophobic.
6
It makes us...
7
Glad.
8
Giving Mrs. Davis the box set of roots was...
9
Bad.
10
Yeah, however...
11
No. Yeah, fine, bad.
12
Unbelievable.
13
You have some nerve showing up here just to schmooze with the tenure committee.
14
You're here.
15
Excuse me.
16
I'm here to pay my respects to Professor Tupperware, or whatever his name is.
17
So am I.
18
His passing makes me feel bad.
19
Well, well, well, Sheldon, fancy meeting you here.
20
I guess the train store in Glendale wasn't having a cotillion after all.
21
And you, you said you weren't coming here either.
22
I would take accident.
23
You don't know what I said.
24
I'd like to know why Penny's here.
25
I'm here to support my man, just like you.
26
What are you going to do?
27
Take people's drink orders and get them wrong? Do it.
28
No!
29
What, does she do it yet?
30
She plans on flirting with members of the tenure committee to further Leonard's cause.
31
Well, that's a fine how do you do.
32
Don't just stand there, take your breaths out.
33
Ooh, meerkat fight.
34
You're all wasting your time.
35
Sheldon is the most qualified for the job, and no amount of gravity-defying bosom's gonna change that.
36
Seriously, is that tape?
37
Like, how are they staying up like that?
38
Way to hit him with both barrels.
39
You two should be ashamed of yourselves, using women to advance your cause with sexuality, and whatever Amy plans on doing?
40
Are you implying that my girlfriend has no sexuality to exploit?
41
Yes.
42
Okay, because that was not clear.
43
Sheldon!
44
What?
45
That was ambiguous.
46
Well, now it's big-ious.
47
What are you gonna do about it?
48
Um...
49
You could talk some smack about his mother.
50
Well, yes, of course.
51
He wouldn't like that at all.
52
Last night, I was feeling in need of sexual release when I happened to come across your mother.
53
OK, OK, guys, what are we doing here?
54
I don't know what you're doing, but I was about to insinuate that I had coitus with Raj's mother for a dollar.
55
Well, you do what you want, but I don't want to lose my friends over tenure.
56
Friends are forever.
57
So is tenure.
58
What?
59
I'm just going to go home and let my work speak for itself.
60
You're right.
61
This is beneath me.
62
Like your mother was last night.
63
How about it, children?
64
What do you think I should do?
65
Well, you'll always be an academic success, but I seriously question whether you'll make any more friends.
66
Well, I don't want any more, but let's go. Are you kidding?
67
I would love to babysit for you.
68
I could not ask you to do that.
69
Nonsense.
70
Children love me.
71
Something about me just makes them laugh and laugh.
72
No. We cannot lose to that, jerk.
73
Yeah.
74
Screw it.
75
I'm going in.
76
Hold on.
77
At least screw it, I'm going in is what I said to your mother last night.
78
Don't worry, I didn't really say that.
79
I find the concept of coitus ridiculous and off-putting.
80
Should have taken my breasts out while I had the chance.
81
Mrs. Davis?
82
Mrs. Davis?
83
Mrs. Davis?
84
Mrs. Davis, I know you're in there.
85
I saw your car in the parking lot.
86
What?
87
I just found out that you recommended myself, Dr. Hofstadter, and Dr. Kuttharpali to be on the shortlist for tenure.
88
Well, despite your quirks, the three of you are very accomplished in your respective fields.
89
I don't know what you mean by quirks, but I do want to express my gratitude.
90
You didn't bring another gift, did you?
91
No, no. No, I learned my lesson.
92
I understand that was inappropriate.
93
Good.
94
Anyway, thank you.
95
You're welcome.

Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 29 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals don't, you're, I'm. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: schmooze /ʃmuːz/, accomplish /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ/, ashamed /əˈʃeɪmd/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: schmooze /ʃmuːz/, yourselves /jəˈsɛlvz/, gratitude /ˈɡɹæ.tɪ.tud/, ashamed /əˈʃeɪmd/, respective /ɹɪˈspɛktɪv/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: cranky /kɹæki/, meerkat /ˈmɪəɹkæt/, ambiguous /æmˈbɪɡ.ju.əs/, smack /smæk/, gratitude /ˈɡɹæ.tɪ.tud/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: ambiguous /æmˈbɪɡ.ju.əs/, gratitude /ˈɡɹæ.tɪ.tud/

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.
