Shadowing Practice: The Ones Where Monica & Ross Fight | Friends - Learn English Speaking with Video

Your boyfriend has been in there for over an hour.

I can't believe it, it's like I'm living with him again.

He's here when I go to sleep, he's here when I wake up, he's here when I wanna use the shower.

I feel like I'm 16 all over again.

Well, you're not 16.

You're both adults now.

Get out, you doofus!

Or, you know, he's rubber and you're glue.

- All yours.

I hope you cleaned your hair out of the drain.

I hope you came your head on your bed.

Shut up!

Shabby!

Cut it out!

Me, me, me!

- I've never wanted you more.

I want to watch entertainment tonight.

Tough noogies were watching Predators of the Serengeti.

Would you great stop.

It's my TV.

Wha-- uh-- - Quit it!

- Bite me!

- Oh, my God.

- Well, Monica keeps changing the channel.

Oh, that's great.

Why don't you tell Mommy on me?

Now I'm Mommy in this little play?

All right, look, I refuse to get sucked into this, like, weird little Geller dimension thing, okay?

So I'm gonna go and take a nice, long, hot bubble bath, because you kids are driving me crazy!

Mom and Dad just sent me in here to find out if you were trying to get Ross stoned.

Your parents caught Ross smoking pot in college, and he blamed it on me.

Ross, I can't believe you'd do that.

The reason we haven't told them we're together is because they hate me, OK?

So will you fix this?

OK, OK.

I'll tell them it wasn't Chandler who got high.

OK.

Now, who should I say it was?

You!

It's not like it's a big deal.

You don't still do it or anything.

All right, all right.

Now, who should I say tricked me into doing it?

Let's go.

Oh, yeah, about telling Mom and Dad.

I was thinking about maybe writing a letter?

All right, you know what?

That's it.

You've had your chance.

What?

Mom, Dad.

Raw smoked pot in college.

What?

You are such a tattletale!

Mom, Dad...

You remember that time you walked in my room and smelled marijuana?

Yes.

Well, I told you it was Chandler who was smoking the pot, but It was me.

I'm sorry.

It was you.

And, Dad, you know that mailman that you got fired?

Didn't steal your Playboys.

Ross did.

Yeah, well, Hurricane Gloria didn't break the porch swing.

Monica did.

Ross hasn't worked at the museum for a year.

Monica and Chandler are living together.

Ross married Rachel in Vegas and got divorced.

Again!

That's a lot of them for me.

I have permission to get in 30 seconds.

All right.

Monica.

Why you felt you had to hide the fact that you're in an important relationship is beyond me.

And we kind of figured about the porch swing.

Ross.

Drugs.

divorced again What happened son I I got I tricked into all those things.

Chandler.

You've been Ross's best friend all these years, stuck by him during the drug problems.

And now you've taken on Monica as well.

Well, I don't know what to say.

You're a wonderful human being.

- Thank you!

- No!

Thank you!

Monica and Ross, I don't know what I'm gonna do about the two of you.

I'll talk to them.

Did you know Chandler kissed Rachel?

What?

When was this?

1987. The weekend you guys visited me at school.

Oh my God, that's wild!

Yeah, but it was like a million years ago, so it doesn't matter.

Well, it matters to me!

Why?

Because the night you kissed Rachel was the night I kissed Rachel for the very first time!

You kissed her that night too?

100

Two guys in one night?

101

Oh, I thought she became a slut after she got her nose fixed.

102

Seriously, where did this happen?

103

Okay.

104

After you told me she was passed out in our room, I went in there to make sure she was all right.

105

She was lying on my bed, all buried in people's coats.

106

Well, I went to kiss her on the forehead, you know, but it was so dark, I accidentally got her lips.

107

I started to pull away, but then I felt her start to kiss me back.

108

It was only for a second, but It was amazing.

109

And now, now I find out that you kissed her first.

110

Oh, wait.

111

What bed did you say she was on?

112

Mine.

113

I'm pretty sure I put her on my bed.

114

No, she was definitely on my bed.

115

Why would I kiss a girl and then put her on your bed?

116

Well, then who was on my bed?

117

Oh, oh, oh!

118

No, no, no!

119

You were under the pile of coats?

120

I was the pile of coats!

121

Oh, my God!

122

You were my midnight mystery kisser!

123

You were my first kiss with Rachel?

124

You were my first kiss ever!

125

What did I marry into?

126

Hello there.

127

Hi.

128

I'm Dr. Carlin.

129

Oh, I see someone's having a little allergic reaction.

130

Yes.

131

Doctor, can I see you for just a moment, please?

132

- - My brother has a slight phobia about needles.

133

Did you tell him about my squirt gun idea?

134

My brother, the PhD, would like to know if there's any way to treat this orally.

135

No. Under these circumstances, it has to be an injection, and it has to be now.

136

- Go.

137

- Aww.

138

All right, that's good.

139

Have your seats.

140

Um, doctor says it's gotta be in needles, You're just gonna have to be brave, okay?

141

Can you do that for me?

142

Okay, okay.

143

Oh boy.

144

You are doing so good My hand yes, okay All right, Ross, don't squeeze it so hard.

145

Honey, really, don't squeeze it so hard.

146

- - I'm Ross!

147

I'm going my pants!

148

Are you sure he didn't break it?

149

'Cause it really hurts.

150

No, it's just a good bone bruise.

151

And.. right here.. is the puncture wound from your ring.

152

Oh, I'm sorry.

153

I'm really sorry.

154

Sorry.

155

Sorry, hey, hey, I got my asses back.

156

Which we can celebrate later.

157

Let's have Monica decide.

158

- Yeah.

159

- Yeah.

160

- Hey, Ma!

161

- Ma, get out of here!

162

- Ma to go?

163

Okay, okay, you have to help us decide whose joke this is.

164

-Why do I have to decide?

165

-Because you're the only one that can be fair.

166

-Yeah.

167

-I can't be fair?

168

You're my boyfriend.

169

-Yeah, but I'm your brother.

170

We're family.

171

That's the most important thing in the world.

172

-Don't try to sway her.

173

I'm your only chance to have a baby.

174

- Okay, let's go.

175

- Alright, um, okay, well, We'll each tell you how we came up with the joke, and then you decide which one of us is telling the truth, me.

176

- Chandler, you go first.

177

- Okay.

178

I thought of the joke two months ago at lunch with Steve.

179

Oh, wait, is he the guy that I met at Christmas?

180

Can I finish my story?

181

Do you want me to pick you?

182

See, I would never snap at you like that.

183

Thank you.

184

- Continue.

185

- Okay.

186

So Steve said he had to go to the doctor, and Steve's doctor's name is Dr. Mumpy.

187

So I said, "Dr. Monkey?" And that is how the whole "Dr. Monkey" thing came up.

188

- - Are you kidding?

189

Okay, look, I study evolution.

190

Remember?

191

Evolution, monkey into man.

192

Plus, I'm a doctor and...

193

I had a monkey.

194

I'm Dr. Monkey!

195

I'm not arguing with that.

196

All right, I've heard enough.

197

I've made my decision.

198

Oh, okay, let me tell.

199

You are both idiots.

200

The joke is not funny and it's offensive to women. And doctors. And monkeys!

201

You shouldn't be arguing over who gets credit.

202

You should be arguing over who gets blamed for inflicting this horrible joke upon the world.

203

Now let it go!

204

The joke sucks!

205

G .I.

206

Joe.

207

Say, I don't know what to tell you guys.

208

That's the doll he chose.

209

What'd you do, dip it in sugar?

210

Look, G .I.

211

Joe's in, Barbie's out.

212

And if you guys can't deal with it, that's just you're too bad.

213

What are you being such a weenie for?

214

Somebody has a Barbie, big deal.

215

You used to dress up like a woman.

216

What?

217

We used to dress up in mom's clothes all the time.

218

What are you talking about?

219

The big hat, the pearls, the little pink handbag.

220

Okay.

221

You are totally making this up.

222

How could you not remember?

223

Thank you.

224

You made us call you B?

225

oh god i've literally never been this happy wasn't there a

226

little song oh please god let there be a song there was no song there was no song I am B.

227

I drink tea.

228

Won't you?

229

Won't you?

230

Won't you...

231

Won't you dance around with me?

232

You have to start getting over her.

233

If you play, you get some fresh air.

234

Maybe you'll take your mind off Janice.

235

And if you don't play, Everyone will be mad at you 'cause the teams won't be even.

236

Come on.

237

All right, I'll play.

238

- Yay!

239

- Let's do it!

240

- Ross?

241

- What?

242

- Wanna play football?

243

- What?

244

Thank you.

245

Um...

246

Monica and I aren't supposed to play football.

247

Says who, your mom?

248

Yes.

249

- Well, every Thanksgiving, um, We used to have a touch football game called the Geller Bowl.

250

No, no, no. You say that proudly.

251

Anyway, Ross and I were always captains, and...

252

Um...

253

It got kind of competitive, and one year...

254

Killer ball six, I accidentally broke Ross's nose.

255

It was so not an accident.

256

She saw I was about to tag her, so she threw her big, fat grandma arm elbow in my face.

257

Just kept running.

258

Just scored the winning touchdown, by the way.

259

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

260

You did not win the game.

261

The touchdown didn't count because of the spectacularly illegal-- oh, and by the way, Savage, nose -breaking.

262

I won the game.

263

Oh, yeah?

264

Then how come you didn't get the Galler Cup?

265

There was a Geller cup.

266

Yes, it was the trophy you got if you won the game.

267

But our dad said nobody won that game, and he was sick of our fighting, so we took the trophy.

268

Threw it in the lake.

269

And was the curse lifted?

270

Anyway...

271

That's when Mom said we were not allowed to play football again.

272

You know what?

273

I think we should play a game.

274

I mean, come on, it's been 12 years.

275

Can I see you for a second?

276

Thank you.

277

What?

278

all right we're gonna play Bye.

279

Thank you.

280

Thank you.

281

Yeah!

282

You know, it's a funny thing.

283

Actually, the end zone starts at that pole So you're five feet short, so...

284

- -Hm -hm.

285

we win wait wait wait wait so explain something to me though if If nobody tagged Rachel, then isn't the play still going?

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.
