I am quite excited to show you something.

First... Buongiorno, Signor Wick.
6
Ciao, Angelo.

Where would you like to have it sent?
46
The hotel. Shall I have everything sent to your room?
47
- Yes. Thank you. - Excellent.
48
It's not what you did, son, that angers me so.
49
It's who you did it to.
50
Who? The fucking nobody!
51
That fuckin' nobody is John Wick.
52
He once was an associate of ours.
53
They call him Baba Yaga.
54
The Boogeyman?
55
Well, John wasn't exactly The Boogeyman.
56
He was the one you sent to kill the fucking Boogeyman.
57
Oh. John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will.
58
Something you know very little about.
59
I once saw him kill three men in a bar.
60
With a pencil.
61
With a fuckin'...
62
...pencil. Then suddenly one day he asked to leave.
63
It's over a woman, of course.
64
So I made a deal with him.
65
I gave him an impossible task.
66
A job no one could have pulled off.
67
The bodies he buried that day laid the foundation of what we are now.
68
And then, my son, a few days after his wife died, you steal his car and kill his fuckin' dog.
69
Father, I can make this right.
70
Oh... How do you plan that?
71
By finishing what I started.
72
What the... Did he hear a fucking word I said?
73
Iosef! Iosef! Listen!
74
Huh? John will come for you.
75
And you will do nothing, because you can do nothing.
76
So get the fuck out of my sight!
77
Hello, John.
78
I heard about your wife, and I'm sorry.
79
My condolences.
80
It seems to be fate, or happenstance or just bad fuckin' luck caused our paths to cross once again.
81
John? Let us not resort to our baser instincts and handle this like civilized men, to move on...
82
What'd he say?
83
Enough. Oh, God.
84
Task your crew.
85
How many? How many do you have?
86
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Wick.
87
It's an honor to fight with you, Mr. Wick.
88
He is getting slow.
89
He is been retired for 5 years.
90
But he is still... John Wick.
91
We will see.
92
Be seeing you.
93
You killed a man on company grounds, Jonathan.
94
You leave me no choice but to declare you excommunicado.
95
The doors to any service or provider in connection with the Continental are now closed to you.
96
I am so sorry.
97
Your life is now forfeit.
98
Then why am I not dead?
99
Because I deemed it not to be.
100
Now. You have one hour. I can't delay it any longer.
101
You might need this...
102
down the road.
103
Winston... tell them.
104
Tell them all.
105
Whoever comes, whoever it is...
106
I'll kill them.
107
I'll kill them all.
108
'Course you will.
109
Jonathan. Winston.

Order 11111 confirmed.
115
John Wick...
116
is a man of focus...
117
commitment...
118
and sheer fuckin' will.
119
He once killed three men in a bar...
120
With a pencil. I know. I've heard the story.
121
With a fucking pencil!
122
Who the fuck can do that?
123
Well, I can assure you that the stories you hear about this man, if nothing else, has been watered down.
124
Give me your son.
125
John Wick. It was just a fucking car! Just a fuckin' dog!
126
Just a dog...
127
Viggo? Yeah.
128
When Helen died, I lost everything.
129
Until that dog arrived on my doorstep.
130
A final gift from my wife.
131
In that moment, I received some semblance of hope.
132
An opportunity to grieve unalone.
133
And your son took that from me!
134
Oh, come on...
135
Stole that from me!
136
Killed that from me!
137
People keep asking if I'm back.
138
And I haven't really had an answer.
139
But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back!
140
So you can either hand over your son...
141
...or you can die screaming alongside him!
142
I love it, this dog.
143
I will keep it.
144
Excuse me? This will be my gift.
145
This will be how you show me your fealty.
146
No. Surely it's the least you can do.
147
No, you cannot keep my dog.
148
Very well. Very well.
149
Then I will kill it.
150
I'm sorry, Sofia.
151
This was for you to learn.
152
Don't. Evenin', John.
153
Evenin', Jimmy.
154
Noise complaint?
155
Noise complaint.
156
You, uh, workin' again?
157
No, just sortin' some stuff out.
158
Ah, well...
159
I'll leave you be, then.
160
Good night, John.
161
Good night, Jimmy.
162
I have you for two nights.
163
Depending on business, it may be more.
164
Of course, sir.
165
So when did the old place get a facelift?
166
Around four years ago.
167
But I assure you, sir, she really hasn't changed much.
168
Same owner?
169
Same owner.
170
Room 818. And, as always, it is a pleasure having you with us again, Mr. Wick.
171
I need more firepower.
172
Armor improvements.
173
12-gauge steel slugs. Armor-piercing.
174
What about him?
175
What are we going to do about John Wick?
176
Oh, he has to die.
177
- Sorry, Jonathan. - Winston!
178
Don't see any other way.
179
Very well, gentlemen.
180
The Continental will now be reconsecrated.
181
Good day to you both.
182
Well played, sir.
183
Let me ask you, John.
184
How do you feel?
185
'Cause I am really pissed off.
186
You pissed, John?
187
Hmm? Are you?

Yeah.

Why This John Wick Dialogue Is Perfect for Speaking Practice
The video’s sharp, purposeful dialogue is a goldmine for English learners. It blends formal and casual tones, uses industry-specific vocabulary, and features natural pacing—all key to mastering real-world communication. The back-and-forth between characters mimics everyday interactions, making it ideal for shadow speech exercises, where you repeat lines to match rhythm and intonation. Whether you’re practicing with a shadowing app or a shadowing site, this clip’s clarity and structure help build confidence in both pronunciation and fluency.
Breaking Down Natural Speech Patterns
Let’s dissect a few lines to see why they sound authentic:
- “I’d like a tasting. I am quite excited to show you something.” The short, direct first sentence contrasts with the more expressive second, mirroring how native speakers balance brevity and detail. Notice the pause after “tasting”—it creates natural flow, a key element to mimic in shadowspeaks.
- “Could you do a rush order? I sure can.” The casual “I sure can” softens the formal request, showing how tone shifts in conversation. This mix of politeness and informality is common in service interactions, making it a useful pattern to practice.
- “It’s not what you did, son, that angers me so. It’s who you did it to.” The emphasis on “what” and “who” adds emotional weight. Native speakers stress key words to convey meaning, a technique that shadow speak exercises help refine.
A Simple Shadowing Routine for This Clip
Use this repeat-and-record loop to maximize practice:
- Watch the video once to absorb the context and tone.
- Play a 5-second segment, pause, and repeat it aloud, focusing on matching speed, stress, and intonation. Use a shadowing app to record yourself.
- Compare your recording to the original. Note differences in pauses or emphasis—these are areas to refine.
- Gradually increase segment length to 10–15 seconds, then practice the entire dialogue. This builds stamina and helps you internalize natural speech patterns.
By focusing on these elements, you’ll turn a legendary scene into a powerful tool for improving your English speaking skills.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | It's been · I've heard · has been watered |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | been retired · are now closed · has been watered |
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.
