1
Okay, well just show me how.
2
You can direct me.
3
I've done a lot of plays.
4
I could do my Eliza Doolittle before she was Civilized walk.
5
I ain't gotten that.
6
Wow, that was just ugly.
7
I wish I hadn't seen it.
8
Alright, just watch me.
9
Your lack of apartment knowledge is really starting to piss me off.
10
We have to show him right now not to screw with us.
11
I need paper.
12
What are you doing?
13
I mean, besides overreacting.
14
Writing a threatening note.
15
I have an unregistered gun and can shoot you through the floor?
16
You're coming in really hot, Max.
17
We're not giving him this.
18
What's he look like?
19
He's got his finger over the peephole.
20
Okay, game on.
21
Back up.
22
This is my building.
23
I've got to take it back.
24
Max, this is life, not Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.
25
Move.
26
What?
27
What is meaning of this horrible, horrible note?
28
Oh, you're not a man?
29
What kind of question is this?
30
Do I look like a man?
31
No, but you clump around up there like a man.
32
Max, please.
33
Did you write this horrible, horrible note?
34
I did.
35
First day in my new home, and I'm given this horrible, horrible note with threads.
36
Well, they're not actually threats.
37
I will gut you like a hog.
38
It's pure.
39
How much for 10?
40
I know I said $250 earlier, but...
41
Bull crap! $150 or we walk, bitch!
42
Okay, let's all just calm down.
43
That's a really good deal, Max.
44
How about we settle at $200 and call it a night?
45
Yeah, yeah, yeah, about that.
46
I've been getting mad offers for these things tonight.
47
I actually gotta raise it to $300, or I walk, bitch.
48
Ow, ow, ow, your hands are cold.
49
What'd you call me?
50
Nothing.
51
That's what I thought.
52
She said 200, we'll pay 200, and you'll take it.
53
You'll shove it in this Hanes-her-way hoodie you're wearing.
54
You'll say, thank you, Max, and you'll hit the bricks, capiche?
55
Caroline Cash.
56
Thank you, Max.
57
What'd you say?
58
Thank you, Max.
59
I've got the chills now.
60
Do you guys serve tea?
61
I feel so much better.
62
Nicholas is not gonna leave her.
63
No, why would he leave her for you?
64
Well, you don't have to be nasty about it.
65
Waitress.
66
Dude.
67
Hi, what can I get you?
68
We need some. Is that annoying?
69
Is that obnoxious and rude?
70
Would you find it distracting if someone did that to you while you were working?
71
Oh, you don't have a job, sorry.
72
Damn, dude, she burned you.
73
Oh.
74
No, hipster.
75
No. Do not think we're on the same team.
76
We have nothing in common.
77
I wear knit hats when it's cold out.
78
You wear knit hats because of cold play.
79
You have tattoos to piss off your dad.
80
My dad doesn't know he's my dad.
81
And finally, you think this is the sound that gets you service you service, I think this is the sound that dries up my vagina.
82
The waitress disappeared, the Russian one?
83
We need horseradish.
84
Please.
85
That ladies is how you treat a waitress.
86
Can I see the receipt?
87
As manager of the jewelry department,
88
I couldn't possibly return a ring that you bought at least three years ago without a receipt.
89
You wouldn't want me to lose my job again, would you?
90
I got this, Donna.
91
And so sorry to hear about your father being a criminal and you being penniless and all that ugliness, but it is kind of karma.
92
You are where you are now, and I'm back on top.
93
Look, Jeffrey, I know we just met, but there's no way you're a top.
94
Chasing guys, eating pie, having fun.
95
This table is sticky.
96
You're on a damp rag across it.
97
Would it kill you to clean a little?
98
What kind of place is this?
99
The kind that serves soup cold.
100
And what's with your crazy earrings?
101
What are you, some kind of gypsy?
102
Okay, whoa.
103
Hold up, ladies.
104
You don't get a bitch pass just because you're old.
105
Yes, that's right, I said it.
106
You come in here with your gangster granny attitude, thinking you can get away with dumping all over the lowly gypsy waitress, no way.
107
At this diner, we don't discriminate due to age.
108
If you're gonna act like an ass, I'm gonna treat you like an ass.
109
No matter how close that ass is riding to the floor.
110
Now, I'll wipe off the table, we'll take it from the top.
111
Hi, I'm Max, who wants tapioca?
112
That's more like it.
113
Save the disappointment for the grandkids.
114
2 Chainz is the man.
115
He sings my anthem.
116
We represent the Lollipop Guild.
117
I'm talking about his ode to big booty hoes.
118
Birthday song is my song.
119
No, birthday song is my song.
120
Every morning in the shower I rap, all I want for my birthday is a big booty ho.
121
Wow, that actually makes you look whiter.
122
Hi.
123
I'm from the funnel cake booth back there, and your little table is sadder than watching the notebook at a funeral.
124
Hey, Dutch girl, why don't you go stick your finger in a dyke?
125
I'm sure you can find one over near the plus-size denim.
126
Max, please, we're all business women here.
127
And some of us are wearing tablecloths on our heads.
128
Just so you know, the makeshift table's because we're just starting out.
129
We've only been in business eight months.
130
Heidi, how long have we been funneling?
131
Every day, 24-7, for the past three months.
132
And we already have a booth.
133
Yeah, we do.
134
I have to say, you girls really take the fun out of funnel.
135
Actually, we put the fun in funnel.
136
See?
137
You can't spell funnel without fun. Or F-U.
138
Oh hell no!
139
Hang on, I wasn't done.
140
Oh hell no!
141
Oh, she's yarn bombing that bike.
142
It's whimsical, it's new, it's stupid.
143
This yarn-able is pathetic.
144
Yo, yarny.
145
And we use it for deliveries.
146
And to trap nerds.
147
Peace out, ganja beer, before I knit you a noose.
148
Max, that was a great idea.
149
What, did she go back to school?
150
I know, at least a couple of night classes, right?
151
Get around some people.
152
Excuse me, Oshkosh Bogosh.
153
I have a question about your coloring book.
154
Why?
155
Other fur adults.
156
Super zen.
157
Super meditative.
158
Helps with stress.
159
You know what else helps with stress?
160
Sex.
161
And even if someone could get past those boner-killing overalls, you ain't gonna have any of that if you keep this up.
162
Not to mention, how stressful can your life really be
163
if you are carefully shading a unicorn's ass at 3 p.m on a Tuesday?
164
So, let me get this correct.
165
You want to make T-shirts for your business with no business connection.
166
Okay.
167
This is your journey, but it might end here.
168
No, no, no, see, it's a cupcake, and we sell cupcakes, so.. that's the business.
169
Okay, you know what?
170
Screw this.
171
That T-shirt is way cool, and if you can't see it, this seminar is so not worth the thousand dollars I paid.
172
Peace out.
173
The cupcake shows a mix of sweet imagery
174
because we're two girls trying to retro repurpose the phrase sugar and spice and everything nice.
175
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, leave Pam alone!
176
I'm fine, Ellen.
177
They can't shut me down because I believe in us and our special brand of artisan cupcakes.
178
Why?
179
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No!
180
No!
181
No!
182
No!
183
No!
184
Eat it, you losers!
185
Eat it!
186
Eat it!
187
I see the truth balls have stopped.
188
It looks like eat it, eat it, you losers might just be your brand.
189
I need your attention.
190
You also need a booster seat for most places.
191
It'll keep me busy because, Max, when Nicholas looks at me, it does something to my insides, and I want this to be a relationship before he does something to my insides.
192
If you keep talking about your insides, I'm gonna kick you on your outsides.
193
Good evening, ladies.
194
No. What are you doing?
195
I know this neighborhood is a circus, but our window's becoming a freak show.
196
No wonder they don't have any bad Yelp reviews.
197
No one's ever tasted their food.
198
Hi.
199
Um, our drinks, and did you ask the chef about the soup?
200
You know, I haven't had a minute.
201
She hasn't had a minute?
202
What's she been doing, dancing with wolves?
203
I mean, have you ever?
204
I know.
205
Can you even?
206
Byron and I have been here forever and have yet to see our dandelion chickpea, Fargoire.
207
He's hypoglycemic, and I'm Lila.
208
And I'm pissed.
209
I'm getting our drinks.
210
Would you get us some wine?
211
Oh, sure.
212
What kind?
213
A Chardonnay for me, and Byron will have a Sauvignon Blanc.
214
Is that the dandelion, chickpea, and other things that don't belong in a dish-together thing?
215
All right, your dandelion chickpea, a Chardonnay, and a Sauvignon Blanc.
216
Enjoy.
217
What do you think you're doing?
218
Waiting on tables.
219
Look into it.
220
Hand it over.
221
I have a gun.
222
Well, I have a death wish, so that's not gonna work.
223
Look, pal.
224
We work at this cupcake window from two to four, six nights a week, and that is after eight hours of slinging hash to the diner next door for lousy minimum wage,
225
which a bunch of rich politicians out in...
226
Help me out.
227
Washington.
228
What she said.
229
Don't want to raise.
230
Then we walk home to our illegal one-bedroom apartment, get three hours of NyQuil-induced sleep before we have to get back up and share a bowl of Spanish-language Cheerios.
231
It's the same thing, but the sea wears a sombrero.
232
So, no. I am not about to give you our hard-earned money.
233
And if you're gonna shoot me, better aim good, because if you miss, I will climb over this counter,
234
tear off your head, and it'll be our new tip jar.
235
I can't make a tart!
236
How's the tart coming?
237
Han, you're not safe.
238
Leave.
239
Leave.
240
Wolf, you haven't even finished the shell.
241
That's the easiest part.
242
Han, this is your face.
243
I should get going.
244
I didn't know she could take bitch to the next level.
245
Yo, doll face.
246
It's been 10 minutes.
247
This chowder, my spaghetti.
248
Where's the food?
249
Where's the food?
250
Where's your neck?
251
I wasn't listening.
252
I was looking at your boobs.
253
Well, I do what I can, but they'll never be as big as yours.
254
Oh, hell no!
255
What?
256
She's been back here, too! Who?
257
Gunaqueer!
258
There's so much yarn-bombing, it's like Craft-ganistan!
259
So that's it for deliveries?
260
Oh, you can deliver wherever and whenever you want, but there is no way I am ever getting on that bike again.
261
Max, look!
262
Guinevere!
263
Oh, hell no!
264
She yarn-bombed her darn barn!
265
You two should have tipped.
266
I'm an artist.
267
Eat my stitches, bitches.
268
That was not whimsical at all.
269
Give me the damn bike.
270
Knit's about to hit the fan.
271
We're here to see Ruby?
272
Who wants to see Ruby?
273
She's coming in real hot, Max.
274
Maybe this isn't a good idea.
275
There's only one old woman who scares me, and his name is Steven Tyler.
276
I'm Ruby.
277
Well, if it isn't, Miss doesn't invite people to stuff.
278
Who's also known as Miss Very, Very Pretty.
279
I don't need someone to tell me that I'm pretty.
280
That's what I told Roy Orbison when he wrote, Pretty Woman for me.
281
What do you little girls want?
282
We're friends of Earl. Of Earl?
283
You know, Earl from the early birds early birds yeah the guy who
284
put this club on the map oh he's a bum girl
285
you better check yourself no one says anything bad about my
286
earl sure well I prefer not to go to jail for murdering earl's girlfriend
287
but it's not that strong the preference here hold my hoop
288
Max isn't Earl's girlfriend he's more like a father figure to her more like a a great-grandfather figure.
289
He's both!
290
Hold my hoops.
291
Everybody calm down.
292
Take a beat.
293
A jazzy beat, of course.
294
I only have two questions for you.
295
Why is she so upset, and what the hell is a jazzy beat?
296
I'm upset because I know Earl helped build this club, and he wasn't invited to play your anniversary show.
297
That's right, because he's a bum!
298
Hold my hoops again!
299
That no good two-time musical genius will never set foot in my club while I'm alive.
300
He'll hold my hoops while I'll unstrap the pistol on my shoe.
301
Oh, no, wait, come on, come on.
302
Can't you just let him play?
303
I mean, he's just a cashier at a diner now.
304
What did you just call him?
305
Earl is more than just a cashier.
306
That is his job, not what he is.
307
How dare you?
308
Yeah, how dare she?
309
Get to.
310
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, Mac, down.
311
you

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
