1
I believe in America.
2
America has made my fortune.
3
And I raised my daughter in the American fashion.
4
I gave her freedom, but I taught her never to dishonor her family.
5
She found a boyfriend, not an Italian.
6
She went to the movies with him.
7
she stayed out late.
8
I didn't protest.
9
Two months ago, he took her for a drive with another boyfriend.
10
They made her drink whiskey and then they tried to take advantage of her.
11
She resisted.
12
She kept her honor.
13
So they beat her like an animal.
14
When I went to the hospital, her nose was broken.
15
Her jaw was shattered, held together by wire.
16
She couldn't even weep because of the pain.
17
But I wept.
18
Why did I weep?
19
She was the light of my life.
20
Beautiful girl.
21
Now she will never be beautiful again.
22
Sorry.
23
I went to the police like a good American.
24
These two boys were brought to trial.
25
The judge sentenced them to three years in prison and suspended the sentence.
26
Suspended the sentence?
27
They went free that very day.
28
I stood in the courtroom like a fool.
29
And those two bastards, they smiled at me.
30
Then I said to my wife,
31
for justice, we must go to Don Corleone.
32
Why did you go to the police?
33
Why didn't you come to me first?
34
What do you want from me?
35
Tell me anything but do what I beg you to do.
36
What is that?
37
I can't do anything.
38
That I cannot do.
39
I'll give you anything you ask me.
40
We've known each other many years,
41
but this is the first time you ever came to me for counsel or for help.
42
I can't remember the last time that you invited me to your house for a cup of coffee.
43
Even though my wife is godmother to your only child.
44
But let's be frank.
45
You never wanted my friendship.
46
And you were afraid to be in my debt.
47
I didn't want to get into trouble.
48
I understand.
49
You found paradise in America.
50
You had a good trade, made a good living.
51
Police protected you and there were courts of law.
52
And you didn't need a friend like me.
53
But now you come to me and you say,
54
Don't call me on and give me justice.
55
But you don't ask with respect.
56
You don't offer friendship.
57
You don't even think to call me Godfather.
58
Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter's to be married,
59
and you ask me to do murder for money.
60
They ask you for justice.
61
That is not justice.
62
Your daughter is still alive.
63
You're going to suffer, then.
64
She suffers.
65
How much shall I pay you?
66
I'm sorry.
67
Buona Sarah.
68
Buona Sarah.
69
What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?
70
If you'd come to me in friendship,
71
Then the scum that ruined your daughter would be suffering this very day.
72
And if by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies,
73
then he would become my enemies.
74
And then they would fear you.
75
Be my friend.
76
Godfather.
77
Good.
78
Someday, on that day may never come,
79
I'll call upon you to do a service for you.
80
But until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.
81
Grazie, grazie, ma'am.
82
Grazie.
83
I'll give this to Clemenza.
84
I want reliable people, people that aren't going to be carried away.
85
I mean, we're not murderers,
86
in spite of what this undertaker says.

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.
