Ahoy hoy, Simpson!

I have four seats to tonight's basketball joust, and you're at the top of my list!
12
So, what do you say?
13
Thank you, Mr. Burns.
14
Oh, boy, court side seats.
15
I feel like Billy Crystal's doctor.
16
What was that?
17
You'll never believe it.
18
We just got...
19
Homer, wait.

I'd love to go.
28
Sorry, we only have four tickets.
29
Me, Lenny, Carl, and Barney.
30
You really don't want me?
31
I thought we was friends.
32
Yeah, we did too.
33
Then we realized you were serving us beer that's mostly suds.
34
Hey, where are we going with this?
35
You're not invited, Moe.
36
Wow.
37
Well, I am truly alone in this world.
38
No, you're not.
39
Thanks, anti-suicide keychain.
40
Uh, Moe, about last night.
41
On the house, fellas.
42
What?
43
Why are you being so nice to us after we rejected you?
44
Well, maybe the problem wasn't you's.
45
Maybe it was me's.
46
So I was sprucing up the bar, trying to make things nice, you know, like they used to be.
47
Hey, it's the Pin Pals, our old bowling team.
48
Those were great times.
49
Them were the best times.
50
Guys, I think we should reform the pin pals, but this time with me, Lenny, Carl, and Moe.
51
Oh, guys, I would love to, but I can't bow no more.
52
I got beer-pulled tunnel syndrome.
53
I guess you'll have to ask Barney to bow, would you?
54
Do they have beer?
55
Yes. To bowling!
56
Moe, this is for you.
57
Coach?
58
Terrific!
59
I love screaming at people who are trying their best. To Moe!
60
Okay, sidekicks, back in our shadows.
61
We made it, boys.
62
Going to the state finals in Capital City.
63
All right, the state finals.
64
When we win this, the next tournament is on ESPN 8.
65
All right, guys, don't be yokels.
66
Just act like you've seen it all before.
67
Holy crap!
68
It says we're on lane 17.
69
Wow, topiary lane numbers.
70
So I guess we're playing, you guys, huh?
71
Best two out of three.
72
I'm Reynolds.
73
We're high-frequency traders.
74
I was the model for the Wolf of Wall Street.
75
I was a model for Toe Fungus in a Dr. Schultz commercial.
76
I'll give you $100 to stop talking.
77
Hey, and here's $100 for you for looking at me like I am the most amazing thing you ever saw.
78
Hey, Harold buddy, you know, I was wondering...
79
Excuse me, why do you throw them at good people?
80
Question time is over.
81
Hey, this little dingus gets it.
82
All right, little man, from now on, we're gonna call you McDingus.
83
You're treating me like dirt.
84
I belong.
85
I'm gonna show you that the one thing in the world that you're a little bit good at, I'm better.
86
Now listen to me.
87
These stuff suits don't stand a chance against us working Joes, because we got marks?
88
No. Well, what have we got?
89
We are a damn rainbow!
90
Yay!
91
We win!
92
We win!
93
The first out of three!
94
Good win, you guys.
95
Lunch is on us.
96
Wow, is that a Visa double diamond card?
97
Yep, doesn't have to be inserted or swiped.
98
It just knows.
99
Thanks for lunch.
100
Changstein, I bet you that I can break down this loser right here in.. oh, 15 seconds.
101
Mo, I would like to ask you about your last birthday.
102
Why?
103
What do you heard?
104
Did you have a party?
105
No, sir.
106
Cake?
107
Nope.
108
So, did you leave your house?
109
No. Um, that's time, and he is definitely crying, so you win.
110
Bart, you don't want to be with these guys.
111
They're monsters.
112
Yeah, well, I may not have much, but I got some things that matter.
113
Huh?
114
My bar, my friends, my good name.
115
All right, well, if you believe in your friends so much, how about we make a little wager on the match?
116
All right, how about this?
117
If we win the next two games, your bar is ours, and you have to change your, uh, good name.
118
But if I win, I want something I can share with my friends.
119
Something only a rich guy like you can give us.
120
Let's do this.
121
Hey, pin-gals.
122
What?
123
Hey, hey, we ain't afraid of no bowling shirts, eh?
124
They're not shirts.
125
It's compression wear.
126
Oh, yeah.
127
Nice toss.
128
Um, nobody likes suck-ups, all right?
129
Cheeseburger.
130
I want to help you stand up to them.
131
Everyone has a weak spot.
132
We will aggregate their emotional responses and run a regression through the data.
133
Bart?
134
Hey, Mom, I got a question for you.
135
Am I too young to start drinking vodka?
136
Yes.
137
Wish you would have told me that an hour ago.
138
Here's a little Don't Tell Homer money.
139
I'm gonna lose my bar in my name.
140
No more, no time or nothing.
141
I'm gonna jump into that empty elevator shaft.
142
Oh, no!
143
All right, come to that time.
144
The time where I give that inspirational speech I've been keeping in my pocket.
145
You have given this lonely little man a reason to get up every single day.
146
That is why I love you, Smarge.
147
I mean, pin pals.
148
Pin pals.
149
Yeah!
150
And we got a secret weapon.
151
This guy is sober.
152
I am.
153
Just don't drink.
154
Huh?
155
Hey, have you ever tasted liquid gold?
156
Oh, what do you want?
157
Fair warning.
158
We've combed through all the emotional data on you to find your soft targets.
159
Reynolds, artificial intelligence is just three months away from taking your job.
160
Without my job, I'm just a douche.
161
You don't know that the other two are sleeping with your wife.
162
And I win.
163
McDingas.
164
Yes, father?
165
Throw this at your sister.
166
You won't do it, Bart.
167
Why not?
168
It's you and it's me, and it wastes food.
169
I hold myself out to you.
170
Go on.
171
Make my face the home of the Whopper.
172
I can't do it.
173
You do like me.
174
You do.
175
This is it.
176
The tenth frame.
177
The final frame.
178
All right, Bonnie, just do your thing.
179
Hey, you guys licking him up.
180
Don't worry, Mo.
181
I can still win this spelling bee.
182
Because of this idiot, Homer, we need three strikes from you.
183
I just want to know what it's like to be a winner.
184
Just one time.
185
Okay, Mo.
186
We're gonna win.
187
I'm not gonna have to start over again!
188
Because starting over, what would that even mean?
189
That could be my reality.
190
Oh, my God, I gotta lose this match.
191
Homer, no!
192
Give me the ball.
193
I needed the ball.
194
I don't want to win!
195
Ah!
196
Yay!
197
What's wrong, Bo?
198
Yeah, we won.
199
Nothing, I just gotta go back to the worst thing in the world, huh? Being me.
200
Yeah, right, guys, since we won the championship, those hedge fund boorags have to deliver an experience for me and my pals that only they can bring.
201
When does it start?
202
Right about.. now.
203
Welcome to how I always feel.

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.
