2
End Hey,
3
what's that?
4
I thought I saw something. Could be!
5
None of these islands have ever been inhabited.
6
You Orca crew are going to be on your own out here.
7
Oh, Mum!
8
What is this?
9
Devil's Island?
10
I'm working out some way to get off fast.
11
Excuse me.
12
I heard that, Jason.
13
Hey, guys!
14
Ah!
15
Hello!
16
Dr Bates!
17
How was the flight?
18
Oh, fine, thanks, Winston.
19
Boys, this is my new assistant, Dr Seth.
20
Jason, Brett, right?
21
Welcome to Orca.
22
Yeah, you're welcome to it too.
23
This way.
24
Jason, there's an old Japanese saying.
25
The carp smiles at the surface, for he has seen the wonders below.
26
What does that mean?
27
How would I know?
28
I'm from India!
29
Ha, ha, ha!
30
Coolness.
31
Hey, I'll get you for that.
32
Walk.
33
Don't laugh.
34
Walk.
35
Oh, my
36
God.
37
Not long.
38
Most of the families have moved in in the last week.
39
Come on.
40
All new residents, please proceed to...
41
Oh, no, no, this way.
42
To the computer.
43
Over here.
44
This is Helen, our master computer.
45
She really runs this place.
46
Bates family.
47
Bates.
48
Module Lima.
49
Level 5.
50
Cabin 14.
51
Have a nice day.
52
Good, no?
53
Come on.
54
Lima 5.
55
Ah, Commander Lucas.
56
May I introduce Dr Diane Betts?
57
She's one of our top marine biologists.
58
Specialises in animal communication.
59
Doctor?
60
Commander?
61
Are these to yours?
62
Yes, I think so.
63
I'll just remember, this is a vessel at sea, as far as I'm concerned, not a kindergarten or a playground.
64
And by the rules, don't skylark.
65
They'll have no trouble.
66
Excuse me.
67
Come on.
68
Oh, great.
69
We've signed on with Captain Bly.
70
Up ahead we have the aquaculture labs and on the next level the mining and oil companies have their labs.
71
Labs?
72
Is that all there is in this place?
73
Jason, that is the whole point of Orca, to put marine laboratories right in the ocean itself.
74
And you should be proud to be a part of it.
75
Get a grip, Mum.
76
Well, you can consider yourself lucky.
77
We'll only be here six months and you can get back to the mainland occasionally.
78
But who knows?
79
One day people may live in cities like this permanently.
80
Oh, I've got my sympathy.
81
Where are all the buttons?
82
Level three, please.
83
Wicked!
84
This way.
85
Oh, this way, I think.
86
Yes.
87
This is cool.
88
I'm like staying on a space station or something.
89
Twelve...
90
Thirteen...
91
Oh, fourteen!
92
This way!
93
Here we are.
94
Ah, here we are.
95
Welcome to your new home.
96
Ta-da!
97
Peace.
98
It's not exactly what you'd call roomy, is it?
99
This is my room, right?
100
Cool.
101
Hey, Ludwig, me and a bunch of their guys are gonna play the old initiation trick on
102
that new girl from Level Kilo.
103
Wanna be in it?
104
I think you've crossed wires, son.
105
There's still a few hiccups with our communication system.
106
In fact, there's still a few teething problems.
107
Ah!
108
What's wrong with a stupid thing?
109
You're gonna get wet.
110
Try doing it this way.
111
Simple.
112
Never mind, Jase.
113
Look, you boys have to put on your uniforms anyway.
114
Oh, cool.
115
Forget it.
116
Orders, Jason.
117
Look, I'm not walking around like some geek space cadet.
118
And that's it.
119
Ta-da!
120
There you are.
121
Look, you both look very dashing, actually.
122
Now, who wants to come do some exploring with me?
123
Yeah!
124
Count me out.
125
I've seen enough as it is.
126
Suit yourself.
127
Don't appear to be looking forward to your stay in Boca, Jason.
128
Look, I wasn't given any say in this.
129
I was just dragged away from my mates, my aeroboard, my laser blades, everything, to be buried alive in this dump. And for what?
130
I mean, how much more is there for you guys to learn?
131
We haven't even scratched the surface yet, Jason.
132
There are things under the sea we don't even know about yet.
133
I'm sorry.
134
The End Hey.
135
Yeah, you.
136
What level are you on?
137
Uh, Lima.
138
Same as us.
139
You're not the kind of kid that would get in trouble, are you?
140
Well, sometimes.
141
Good.
142
You're in.
143
Zoe and Froggy.
144
Sit down.
145
Some people don't really like it here for the first few days at Orca, but after that, you get used to it.
146
Yeah, well, I don't plan on staying here long enough to get used to it.
147
As soon as I help my mother bag a whale, I'm out of here.
148
A whale?
149
Hi, Daggy.
150
G'day, Lee.
151
Nice.
152
Yeah, but she's also the Commander's daughter.
153
Tell you what, if you ever did anything to get up his nose.
154
Good, well done, excellent shot.
155
Yeah, well, she made me put in a million hours practice.
156
Now, this is the real one we're going to use.
157
It's very expensive.
158
It's important that you hit the whale here, behind the head.
159
If we're going to monitor the brainwaves, it's important we get as close as possible.
160
Are you sure it's not going to hurt it?
161
No, no, no, no, no. It'll only feel a slight discomfort.
162
When it hits the whale, the shaft falls off, but the monitor cannot be removed.
163
And you really think you're gonna hear the wail through this?
164
Oh, more than that we hope.
165
I mean, all we know is the humpback sings, and it must be some form of communication.
166
By recording the brain patterns at the same time, we may eventually learn what the songs mean.
167
Get real, Mum.
168
Jason, you may laugh, but this could be the beginning of understanding their language, and... Who knows?
169
Eventually, we may be able to even talk to them.
170
Incidentally, I think we've found our target.
171
A lone male in the area I've been monitoring for the last couple of weeks.
172
From initial soundings, he's been singing like a bird.
173
I bet you can't get on Hold my space for almost gone Gave you the strength to carry on
174
The End The
175
Come on, Mum, I've never seen a whale of class before in my life.
176
Please!
177
All right.
178
You can help Winston.
179
Cool.
180
Ann?
181
Yeah.
182
There.
183
At that size, it's almost certainly our boy.
184
He's back in the area.
185
Get the gear, Jason.
186
Come on, Rick.
187
We've got to get this tracking system.
188
Call it right there.
189
What's going on here?
190
We're just tagging a whale, Commander.
191
You're not intending to let the child use this weapon?
192
He has done his permit course and the teacher said he was the best she'd ever seen.
193
With all respect, Doctor, under the circumstances, I can't authorise this.
194
Show him, Jason.
195
Don't worry.
196
It's only a dummy.
197
Satisfied, Commander?
198
I don't want anyone anywhere near him when he's firing.
199
Understood?
200
I think Gus got a definite attitude problem.
201
Come on.
202
We've got a wild attack.
203
Looks like he's starting to come up.
204
All right, Jase.
205
Get into position.
206
Can I go with him?
207
Brett, you heard what the commander said.
208
Come on.
209
You're up top with me.
210
There!
211
You're a clock!
212
You see him, Jason?
213
Yep.
214
Stand by, we're gonna try and move up.
215
Nice and steady, okay?
216
Come on, go ahead.
217
You're definitely gonna be there.
218
That's the way you're gonna be there.
219
Whatever you want.
220
You're just gonna do this.
221
We're gonna do this.
222
You're gonna do this.
223
Nice and steady, okay?
224
I think he spotted us, Mum.
225
She's starting to run!
226
Hold on, Jason.
227
We're going to chase him.
228
Here.
229
Take her over.
230
Yes.
231
Left.
232
Right.
233
No, wait.
234
Wait.
235
Cut it.
236
Well?
237
Right over you.
238
Tell Jason to load up and stand by.
239
Mum says load up and stand by.
240
Okay.
241
I just wish there was somewhere we could let this poor fellow know we don't mean him any harm.
242
He's coming up again.
243
Behind us.
244
Port 180.
245
40 meters.
246
35. 30.
247
Hold it there.
248
This is it, Brad.
249
Get ready!
250
Ready.
251
Wait, wait, wait!
252
Fire!
253
No!
254
Fire!
255
No!
256
Fire!
257
What is wrong with him?
258
Jason, shut!
259
Jason!
260
Give me...
261
I think I got him.
262
What happened to you?
263
Why didn't you shoot when you were supposed to?
264
There was a girl.
265
There was what?
266
There was a girl in the ocean.
267
She just appeared.
268
And she was in the way.
269
Then where is she now?
270
I don't know.
271
Uh-huh.
272
I, uh, I think I lucked out, but we'll have to wait till we get back to the lab to be sure.
273
Um, can you tell him to head straight back for Orca?
274
And as for you, young man, we will be having a very long talk.
275
Believe me.
276
I don't want to know, Jason.
277
There was a girl.
278
I'm sorry.
279
Working?
280
No. Yes?
281
Nothing.
282
It works.
283
Winston, we did it.
284
Isn't it that?
285
Beautiful.
286
But it is no thanks to you, Jason.
287
What you did out there could have set us back by weeks.
288
I didn't mean to.
289
Ever since I accepted this position, you have been sulking.
290
I have put up with it because I understand there are a lot of things you have to give up, including the occasional weekend spent with your father.
291
But to deliberately try to mess up a major part of this project just
292
because you are cheesed off at having been here is unforgivable.
293
I didn't.
294
Then why didn't you fire when you were told?
295
Because the girl was in the way.
296
Oh, really, Jason, if you're going to invent some sort of excuse, at least make it vaguely believable.
297
I mean, we were in the middle of an ocean.
298
What would a girl be doing out there?
299
I don't know, but she was.
300
Look, I am not even going to dignify this by arguing.
301
We'll talk about it later, all right, when I have the time to pull off.
302
But, Mum, there was, I tell you.
303
Jason, there's an old saying.
304
When the tiger roars, the wise rabbit flees.
305
What does that mean?
306
It means get out while the going's good.
307
I'm not going to be a good one.
308
There's one thing that explains it all, of course.
309
You've finally gone crazy.
310
I'm not crazy, little creep.
311
That's what crazy people always say, though, is it?
312
Listen, I did see a girl.
313
I don't know how and I don't know why, but she must be out there somewhere and I'm going to prove it.
314
Even if I have to stay here for the rest of my life.
315
I'm not leaving until I find her.
316
I'm sorry.
317
I'm
318
sorry you

Learn Real-Life English from This Island Adventure Dialogue
Ever watched a video and thought, “I wish I could speak like that naturally?” The conversation in this video—with its casual banter, quick exchanges, and everyday phrases—is perfect for english speaking practice. Whether you’re a beginner or brushing up, the relaxed tone makes it easy to dive into real communication, not just textbook sentences.
Top 5 Phrases to Steal for Daily Chats
Let’s pull out the gold from the dialogue. These phrases work in coffee shops, classrooms, or even when exploring new places:
- “Could be!” – A casual way to agree with a possibility (great for avoiding long explanations!).
- “I’m working out some way to…” – Perfect for talking about solving a problem (e.g., “I’m working out some way to fix my bike”).
- “Welcome to [place]” – Polite and essential for greeting guests (add a smile, and you’re set!).
- “What does that mean?” – A simple question to clarify confusing sayings (we’ve all been there!).
- “This way” – Handy for guiding someone (no more pointing and grunting!).
How to Master Shadow Speech with This Video
Shadowing—repeating lines right after the speaker—is a game-changer for fluency. Here’s how to nail it with this video:
- Watch once for context: Focus on the story (islands, new arrivals, a master computer!) to get comfortable with the flow.
- Pick 3 short lines: Start with “Hey, what’s that?” or “How was the flight?”—short phrases are easier to mimic.
- Hit pause and repeat: Play a line, pause, then say it aloud. Match the speed and tone (even the laughter!).
- Use a shadowing app if you can—slow down tricky parts (like “The carp smiles at the surface…”) to catch every word.
- Record yourself: Compare your version to the video. Notice if you’re rushing or dropping sounds—this helps you refine your shadowspeak skills.
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.
