60
What? You got to relax, buddy. You're at the Four Seasons Oahu.
61
Have a mai tai. Enjoy some time with your wife.
62
Get sunburned somewhere embarrassing.
63
This weekend is about you.
64
You know what? You're right. We power-bumped on it.
65
So whatever it is you're doing, I'm sure you can undo it by the time we get home, yeah?
66
Exactly! I mean, I am deeply offended by such accusations!
67
So, how's Rachel's fiancé?
68
Is he as good-looking in person as he is in pictures?

Somehow better-looking.

All right, I better go and introduce myself.
73
Stay out of trouble.
74
Trouble? Don't worry. Everything here is completely normal.
75
Uh-huh. Night, bud.
76
Okay. So here's the plan.
77
I run in superfast, fly over that water, no problem, and right when I get to the-- [shrieks] What just happened?
78
Congratulations.
79
You just got incinerated by their energy shield.
80
We'll need to shut it down by planting a USB drive in their server room that will give me full control over it.
81
That's what we need you two for.
82
Couple of badass spies, that's what we are.
83
Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
84
[Tails] Once we disable the shield, you'll face the laser hall.
85
[grunts] These high-density bad boys will cut you into tiny pieces.
86
And cut those pieces into even tinier pieces!
87
Once again... [shrieks] Can't we just get Tom Cruise to do this? [Tails] Nope.
88
Because not even he could break into... the vault.
89
[Sonic] Why is it empty in there?
90
[Tails] Because we have no idea what's on the other side of that door.
91
To prevent the vault from ever being accessed by a ring, all images and schematics have been wiped from GUN's database.
92
So for the last leg of this heist...
93
[in puppet voice] ...we're going in blind.
94
Sorry. [Maddie] Okay, I'm just gonna say it.
95
It sounds like this plan would work a heck of a lot better if Sonic used the Master Emerald to go Golden God mode to get the key.
96
No way, Maddie.
97
The Master Emerald is too powerful to ever use again.
98
We made a promise to each other to keep it hidden.
99
In a location only Knuckles knows.
100
As guardian of the Master Emerald, anyone who tries to take it away for any reason...
101
will become a sworn enemy.
102
Okay, okay! Sheesh!
103
No need to get all growly on me, buddy.
104
You guys are always telling us to make good choices.
105
Well, this is the right choice.
106
Okay. I guess we're going to...
107
["London Town" by Mr Eazi playing] London, baby!
108
GUN Headquarters is right there.
109
Let me go in, get the key and destroy anyone in my way!
110
I want revenge.
111
[Gerald] Patience, Shadow.
112
Just let us handle this...
113
and I promise you'll have revenge on a scale you couldn't possibly imagine.
114
Come on, Granddaddy-O, we've got...
115
dirt to do!
116
Suits. Right here, sir.
117
Stone, babysit the hedgehog.
118
Keep the crab on a low boil.
119
It's time for more family bonding.
120
Come on, Shadow.
121
Got fresh avocados in the crab. We'll make guac.
122
Revenge guac!
123
This is the island where I'm from.
124
It had everything.
125
Sandy beaches, cascading waterfalls, public access fo loop-de-loops.
126
And I never had fo catch a school bus because I could run across the entire island in less than two seconds.
127
Also there was no school.
128
I know, pretty sweet island, right?
129
Yeah! I was born with extraordinary powers and was fold fo keep them secret.
130
And like any kid, I did the exact opposite.
131
That's Longclaw. She took care of me.
132
She was basically Obi-Wan Kenobi if Obi-Wan Kenobi had a beak and ate mice.
133
Sonic, someone could have seen you.
134
No one saw me. I'm too fast!
135
And I wanted to bring you this.
136
Get down! Turns out, with great power comes great power-hungry bad guys.
137
And I led them right fo us.
138
Listen carefully, Sonic.
139
You have a power unlike anything I have ever seen.
140
And that means someone will always want it.
141
The only way to stay safe is to stay hidden.
142
This world is on the far side of the universe.
143
You should be safe there.
144
- I don't want to go without you. - You must.
145
These rings will be your most important possession.
146
If you're ever discovered, use one.
147
Never stop running.
148
Now go! Longclaw!
149
Goodbye, Sonic.
150
No! No! Sonic the Hedgehog is Family Champion once again!
151
Tails? Knuckles?
152
Okay. Yeah, I overshot the finish line.
153
[electronic whirring] [Sonic] Okay, so how do I get back?
154
[weapon powering up] [beeping] [Sonic] Pro tip: If you're gonna take a shot at the fastest creature in the universe...
155
you'd better not miss.
156
Um... I'm flattered by the cosplay, but you got a few details wrong.
157
I can't blame you, though. It's hard to copy perfection.
158
That's a neat trick.
159
[Sonic yelps] What? Who are you?
160
New deejay coming in.
161
Come on, pal. I got an idea.
162
They called us freaks, so let's get freaky.
163
Just follow my moves. You'll be fine.
164
All right! Backup dancers!
165
Here we go!
166
There's a lot of me up here!
167
I love pivonkal And big dismount!
168
Yeah! I'll take that.
169
We did it! That was amazing! Way to go, Tails.
170
Wow. Only Sonic the Hedgehog could win a dance battle that epic.
171
Well, stick with me, pal.
172
Earth can be a scary place, but I know everything about this old pale blue dot.
173
Do you really mean that?
174
I mean, not everything. But I watch a lot of Discovery Channel and-- I meant about me being your pal.
175
Of course, buddy.
176
Comin' in hot.
177
Growing up, I didn't have any friends.
178
Everyone in my village thought my two tails were weird.
179
Hey, I know that feeling.
180
But then I saw you, the fastest creature in the galaxy.
181
You were weird too. But you were a legend.
182
That made me think, maybe being weird isn't so bad.
183
You inspired me to leave my village, to find you and help you in your mission.
184
I'm really glad you're here, Tails.
185
I'm glad I'm here too, Sonic.
186
Well, might as well get some sleep.
187
This feels like a good place to spend the night.
188
You'll be able to get clear readings on your gizmo thing once the storm is over, so I-- Night, Tails.
189
[Sonic yelling] [gasps] [strained panting] Go ahead. Finish it!
190
What are you waiting for? Do it!
191
[grunting] I'm right here!
192
You didn't let your pain change who you are...
193
in here. [whimpering sigh] This is not who I am.
194
What are you doing?
195
You won. Take your revenge.
196
There are no winners with revenge.
197
So, do you guys wanna watch a movie or what?
198
Sorry, buddy. It's a school night. It's time for you to go back to your cave.
199
What? It's 3:00 in the afternoon!
200
You know how you get when you're tired.
201
Me? I'm not like anything.
202
- You guys are so uncool. - Yeah, yeah, we know.
203
- Hey, buddy, where you going? - You said I have to go back to my cave.
204
We did. Oh, my-- Are you kidding me?
205
I can't believe it.
206
How did you-- It's-- It's all here.
207
Look at this! Are you kidding? And the beanbag?
208
No way! How did you even get this?
209
And you got it all the way over-- I love it, I love it!
210
Well, welcome home.
211
Thank you, so much.
212
Oh, no, you don't.
213
No second-best animal friends allowed in my room.
214
Wait. What are you doing?
215
Stay away from me. Stop it!
216
I'm warning you. I've got nunchucks!
217
Hey, stop. Okay, you can stay.
218
My tribe was on the verge of its greatest victory.
219
The last of the Owl warriors had been located.
220
Soon Longclaw's Emerald secrets would be ours.
221
But my father stopped me from joining the fight.
222
He said my moment fo honor our tribe would come, but it was not this moment.
223
Those were the last words he spoke fo me.
224
I never saw him again.
225
We both lost everything that day.
226
- Goodbye, Sonic. - No!
227
Longclaw!

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.
