1
There he is.
2
Hey, Harvey, this is a great idea, huh?
3
Glad I thought of it.
4
You having fun?
5
If you call talking geopolitics with a model named Svetlana fun, then that would be a big fat bowl of yes.
6
Easy, Tiger.
7
The bartender's pouring doubles.
8
And what are you doing here?
9
I'm having another drink.
10
I said for you to be careful.
11
I can handle my liquor.
12
Okay.
13
How many fingers am I holding up?
14
Huh?
15
Huh?
16
You can't tell, can you?
17
Who can't handle my liquor now?
18
I tell you to put food in your stomach, but unfortunately I only ordered enough to give the appearance of having food.
19
So basically you're just trying to get these guys hammered so you can drive up the bidding.
20
No, I told you, the guys hitting on the models aren't serious.
21
Now I'm telling you that the guys who let themselves get drunk aren't serious.
22
Which means whoever's left are the bids that we have in our hands at the end of the night.
23
You knew it the whole time, didn't you?
24
Who do you think you're talking to?
25
Good man.
26
Just one small problem.
27
What if by accident I happen to be one of the people that let himself get too drunk?
28
Might as well keep drinking, because we're not having fun.
29
What the hell are we doing here?
30
Yes!
31
Copy that.
32
Spitlana!
33
You know this office isn't gonna pack itself up, right?
34
It's not packed because one of us has been at work for the last three hours.
35
The other one of us was sleeping off all the work you did last night.
36
You mean you're hungover from all the vodka you drank?
37
Yeah, that's what I just said.
38
Never should have hired you back.
39
It's too late to fire me now. Is it?
40
Because if you were worth your salary, you'd ask how many bids were sitting on.
41
I don't have to ask, because I've got this.
42
Guest list was 500, and half of them came for the girls.
43
Half of the other half don't have the capital, and 60% of the rest of them woke up realizing they don't want to work in the liquor business.
44
Take, I don't know, what, 47 off the top for good measure?
45
Leaves us with three bids.
46
Donna told you, didn't she?
47
Probably.
48
Probably.
49
Did she bother telling you what we're doing now?
50
You didn't have to, because you're Harvey Specter.
51
You've got one trick, and you taught it to me years ago.
52
So let's go.
53
You know I have more than one trick, right?
54
No, I know you think you do.
55
Because you put on a different costume doesn't make it a different trick.
56
Yeah, I liked you better when you were drunk.
57
I liked you better when I was drunk, too.

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.
