1
This is the dealio.
2
God has smiled upon me and given me two tickets to the big party in New York tonight.
3
What are you doing this evening?
4
Sure, we'll go.
5
All right.
6
We'll fight it out amongst yourselves.
7
I was thinking Pammy, but Boys Night Out is also good.
8
Oh, I'm sorry.
9
What?
10
One of the tickets is for him.
11
Just let me know who the winner is.
12
Not it.
13
Nope.
14
I won.
15
Definitely not.
16
If anything, it was a tie.
17
Tie goes to the girlfriend.
18
All right.
19
I'm ready to go, and I'm calling Shotgun.
20
I'm ready?
21
Yes.
22
Thank you.
23
All right.
24
Let me just say goodbye to Pam.
25
Oh, yeah.
26
You better.
27
You better say goodbye to Pam.
28
Say goodbye to Pam.
29
Bye.
30
I love you.
31
I love you, Pam.
32
Okay.
33
I love you, pal.
34
Okay.
35
I'm leaving inside Jim's car.
36
I don't know when I'll be back again.
37
Yes, I do.
38
Tomorrow I'll be back.
39
I'll be back tomorrow.
40
Um, yeah, so you know what?
41
Why don't you guys take off a little bit early tonight?
42
Because there's a party.
43
A party for the website I've been planning for two weeks.
44
If you are not this tall,
45
you may not ride the roller coaster.
46
See you guys tomorrow.
47
You ever read this?
48
Yep.
49
A long time ago, but I liked it.
50
Got it for Ryan.
51
Wanted to get them all the places you'll go,
52
but they were sold out.
53
I figured it's the same sort of stuff in here.
54
It's not different.
55
It's a good book.
56
Mwah, mwah.
57
What was that?
58
Leaving Pennsylvania.
59
Oh.
60
Two kisses.
61
One for me, one for Jan.
62
Gotcha.
63
You're going to let me know when we're close, right?
64
Yes.
65
Actually, I will tell you right now,
66
it's a club called Chat Room,
67
and there's a password to get in, which is actually password.
68
Okay.
69
What are you doing?
70
That is an invitation to an online party.
71
No. I'm sure that's not.
72
Are there three Ws at the beginning of the address?
73
Yes.
74
Yep.
75
Well, the invitation says VIPs only.
76
Is this how you treat your VIPs, Ryan?
77
We're already in the city.
78
The main part with the buildings.
79
What am I supposed to do?
80
What do you want me to do tonight?
81
And if you tell me that I have to drive back to Scranton to the satellite party,
82
I am going to throw up.
83
Okay, I'm going to throw up.
84
I'm throwing up.
85
You're making me throw up, Ryan.
86
You know what this is like?
87
I'll tell you what this is like.
88
This is like when the freshman would throw a party and wouldn't let any of the seniors go.
89
Doesn't it just piss you off sometimes,
90
that little twerp got the promotion over us?
91
Oh, actually, I withdrew it in consideration.
92
Yeah, I withdrew it, too.
93
All right, who wants to party?
94
Why aren't you in New York?
95
Oh, what?
96
Oh, I think I faked Oscar out.
97
You said you weren't coming back and we could leave early.
98
I think I faked Stanley out, too.
99
Who else thought that I was leaving and then you can all go home early.
100
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
101
Well, who needs New York?
102
Right?
103
We can have a killer party right here in Scranton.
104
Thank you.
105
Nope, nope, nope, This is gonna be nothing like the party you've been planning.
106
This is going to be good.
107
And everybody's gonna come.
108
What's wrong with Dwight?
109
He beat the computer.
110
Oh, hey.
111
Good for you.
112
Good for you.
113
Scranton power.
114
Angela, I'd like you to come into my office in ten minutes,
115
bring something to write with and something to write on.
116
Good.
117
It was kind of a slap in the face to realize
118
that I wasn't as important as I thought I was to a certain young executive who I had cared about,
119
but, you know, I'm not gonna cry over it.
120
I did that in the car on the way home.
121
I just cried out.
122
No more tears.
123
Which reminds me, I have to get shampoo.
124
I really didn't think I was gonna have a good time, but I did.
125
I totally did.
126
I love camping.
127
Anything can happen.
128
Well, it wasn't camping.
129
It was more of a wilderness retreat.
130
Morning.
131
Michael.
132
Ryan invited some of the branch managers and Toby into the woods for a get-to-know-you weekend.
133
Michael wasn't invited.
134
Apparently they already knew everything they needed to know about him.
135
Did you sleep in cabins?
136
Under the stars.
137
It was really beautiful.
138
You shouldn't.
139
Bob and I took rock climbing lessons once.
140
Michael wasn't invited on Ryan's camping trip.
141
Toby went, but Michael didn't go.
142
He wasn't invited. Who went?
143
Me, Dan from Buffalo, Mark Chisholm,
144
Jack from Albany, and Ryan, obviously.
145
We had so many s'mores,
146
I finally had to say.
147
No more s'mores.
148
No more s'mores.
149
Ryan invited me, we had a couple of friends,
150
and we had a couple of friends.
151
Ryan invited me to go on his wilderness adventure retreat.
152
It was this amazing, beautiful...
153
Hey, nobody cares.
154
Nobody cares.
155
I need that room at some point,
156
so just wrap it up.
157
Michael wasn't invited.
158
Hypothetically, if I were to ask you to go camping...
159
Mm-hmm.
160
And you know what hypothetical means.
161
Not real.
162
Got it.
163
So if I were to hypothetically ask you to go camping with me, would you go?
164
Absolutely, yes.
165
When Michael plays the hypothetical game, I always say yes.
166
Really?
167
Yeah.
168
Oh, you want to go today?
169
And I am always busy.
170
Oh, can't go today, because I'm donating blood.
171
How often can you actually donate blood?
172
Is there a limit?
173
Your body only has a certain amount.
174
Well, is that it, or?
175
Yeah, just this whole Toby camping thing.
176
Wow, seems a little lame.
177
How so?
178
A bunch of guys in a tent making s'mores.
179
Mm-hmm.
180
What's that?
181
Oh, I'm in a broken mountain.
182
Here's the thing.
183
That's not how you go camping.
184
I think you go camping by yourself in the wilderness.
185
It's not with a group of guys frolicking around in tents.
186
It's one guy or two guys, if your plans change.
187
Not gonna change.
188
I want to do it myself.
189
You know, I want to go and find out something about myself.
190
I want to get out of here.
191
All the clicks and the office politics,
192
fluorescent lights and the asbestos.
193
I thought we had that looked at.
194
I'm sick of it, Jim.
195
I'm sick of this place.
196
Meredith has an evite from Jim.
197
Barbecue at Jim's tonight.
198
Tonight.
199
Wonder where my evitation is.
200
Click on guest list.
201
Angela Stanley, Oscar, Meredith, Phyllis, Kevin, Creed. Must be.
202
No. There's always a distance between a boss and the employees.
203
It is just nature's rule.
204
It's intimidation, mostly.
205
It's the awareness that they are not me.
206
I do think that I am very approachable as one of the guys.
207
But maybe I need to be even approachabler.
208
That's pretty young.
209
Yeah.
210
Are you gonna eat with us? Of course.
211
Hanging with my crew, crew that I am one of.
212
Hanging with my cup of noodles.
213
This is a meal in a cup right here.
214
Hot, tasty.
215
Reminds me of college.
216
Lived on this stuff.
217
Brain food.
218
Mmm.
219
You know what I really, really miss about college?
220
The parties.
221
Everybody to go.
222
The athletes, the nerds, professors,
223
The professors would go to the parties?
224
Yeah.
225
They were the most fun.
226
We always invited them.
227
It's true.
228
I'm having a party.
229
I've got three cases of imported beer,
230
karaoke machine, and I didn't invite Michael.
231
So, three ingredients for a great party.
232
And it's nothing personal.
233
I just think that if you were there,
234
people wouldn't be able to relax, you know, have fun.
235
And my roommate wants to meet everybody.
236
because I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm making Dwight up.
237
He is very real.
238
Question.
239
On the Internet, there are several different options to get to your house for the party tonight.
240
Oh, um, I was wondering...
241
Keep that down.
242
Why?
243
Because not everybody knows about Dwight.
244
Like, who?
245
Who doesn't know?
246
Oh, Michael.
247
Why just Michael? Because it's a surprise. Is it?
248
Mm-hmm.
249
Oh, that's perfect.
250
So don't tell.
251
I won't.
252
Okay.
253
Hey.
254
Oh, almost quit in time.
255
Yep.
256
It's, uh, 4 o'clock.
257
One more hour.
258
Take care of anything you forgot to do.
259
Hey, you know, I don't know if you have any plans tonight,
260
but if you don't, we could hang out.
261
Oh, um...
262
I can't.
263
You have plans?
264
Mm-hmm.
265
Yeah, I do.
266
Yeah, I do too.
267
I do too.
268
I do.
269
Big plans.
270
I do, yeah.
271
Because you just said that you wanted to hang out?
272
Tonight, I can't do it tonight.
273
No. Improv class.
274
So I have improv class,
275
hanging out with my improv buds.
276
Really?
277
Yeah.
278
Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun.
279
Oh, it's the best.
280
It is the best.
281
I would not miss it for the world.
282
But if something else came up,
283
I would definitely not go.
284
Improv sounds great. That is.
285
Okay.
286
All right.
287
What?
288
I think Stanley just coughed.
289
Hey, Pam.
290
Do you need me to walk you to your vehicular transport?
291
No, thanks.
292
All right.
293
Oscar, get big plans tonight with you.
294
I'm on a call.
295
Okay.
296
Kevin, big man, big man.
297
What are you doing tonight?
298
Where are you off to?
299
My brother is in town,
300
and we are going to see the Alaska Film Festival at the...
301
Okay, all right.
302
All right.
303
Hey, Angela, rushy, rushy, where you're rushing off to?
304
I'm just leaving for the day.
305
Yeah, well, duh.
306
Where you headed?
307
Charity.
308
Bake dry.
309
Liar!
310
You are a liar.
311
No, I'm not.
312
Dwight.
313
Oh, Dwight, my loyal compadre.
314
You and I are hanging tonight.
315
The two of us.
316
We are celebrating our freedom and our manhood.
317
You know what?
318
Why don't we watch that show that you even want to watch?
319
Stupid Battleship Galaxy.
320
Battlestar Galactica?
321
That's whatever stupid show you want to watch.
322
We're watching it.
323
I can't tonight.
324
Unfortunately, I've got plans.
325
I have to go to practice.
326
Soccer practice.
327
I didn't know you played soccer, Dwight.
328
Clarinet.
329
You too, Dwight.
330
Have fun tonight, whatever it is that you're doing,
331
and I'll see you Monday.
332
He has no idea.
333
This is ridiculous.
334
Do you have any idea what time we'll get out of here?
335
Nobody likes to work late.
336
Least of all me.
337
You have plans tonight?
338
No, I don't.
339
Remember when you told us not to make plans because we were working?
340
Yes, I remember.
341
Mmm, this is BS.
342
This is BS.
343
Why are we here?
344
I am going to call corporate.
345
Enough is enough.
346
I'm, Scott, I'm so mad.
347
This is Michael Scott, Scranton.
348
Well, we don't want to work.
349
No, we don't.
350
It's not fair to these people.
351
These people are my friends,
352
and I care about them.
353
We're not gonna do it.
354
Everybody, I just got off the horn with corporate,
355
and, uh, basically, I told them where they could stick their little overtime assignment.
356
Go enjoy your Friday.
357
Thank you, Michael.
358
All right.
359
All right.
360
Happy Friday.
361
Well, I think we dodged a bullet there.
362
I think you did.
363
How about you, Pam, me, Casa, little dinner-dancing drinks?
364
Oh, I...
365
You said you didn't have plans.
366
That's what you said.
367
Michael has asked Pam and me to dinner at least nine times,
368
and every time we've been able to get out of it.
369
But I gotta give him credit.
370
He got me.
371
Because I'm starting to suspect that there was no assignment from corporate.
372
Michael, what time should I be arriving? should I be arriving?
373
Dwight, it's couples only.
374
And besides, I only have six wine glasses.
375
So it will be me and Jan and Pam and Jim.
376
And Angela and Andy.
377
Heyo!
378
Does it bother me that I wasn't invited to Michael's dinner party?
379
Okay.
380
Thank you.

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.
