Creating lesson...
1
Michelle, get that, please.
2
I cannot.
3
Michelle, we've been over this.
4
We all covered the phone.
5
That includes you.
6
Don't misunderstand.
7
I wanted to answer it.
8
I truly did.
9
But today, today I'm suffering from ennui.
10
Ennui?
11
Seville ennui.
12
You know what ennui is, yes?
13
Yes.
14
Webster's defines ennui as a lazy, soon to be out of work French concierge who won't answer the phone.
15
Look, I've made my peace with the fact that everyone who calls here is a notch above brain dead,
16
and that the pennies I am thrown each week are in exchange for me dealing with these people in a non-violent manner.
17
And usually that is fine, but today, sorry, lady, I have ennui.
18
So you're sleepy?
19
It's a metaphysical angst.
20
So you want to go beddy-bye?
21
You make light.
22
It increases my ennui.
23
Okay, that's it.
24
Come on, you need coffee.
25
I need coffee.
26
Extra strong.
27
Double cap.
28
Dribble cap.
29
No, forget the cap.
30
Throw in the whole cow and serve it to this man right here.
31
What's wrong with you?
32
I don't know.
33
Might sound a little weird, but I think I've got ennui.
34
You explained ennui to her.
35
She asked me what was wrong with me earlier, so I told her.
36
Michelle, you know that Suki ends up thinking she's coming down with whatever illness other people have.
37
Nuh-uh.
38
Oh, no?
39
What was that whole conversation last week when I had to convince you you didn't have a prostate?
40
Oh, how is Elle?
41
Time?
42
8.30.
43
I'm late.
44
Hold on, coffee.
45
Thanks.
46
I'll see you tonight.
47
Wait, one sec.
48
Mom, I have to be there in 20 minutes.
49
I don't want to make you something really cool.
50
Can I wait till tonight?
51
It won't be cool tonight.
52
What do you mean it won't be cool tonight?
53
What loses its cool factor in 12 hours?
54
This.
55
What is that?
56
A hammer.
57
It has feathers on it?
58
Yes.
59
Why?
60
So the rhinestones and bows won't feel lonely.
61
What do you want me to do with it?
62
Build a really pretty house.
63
How long is it going to take me to talk you out of giving that to me?
64
40 minutes and hour tops.
65
Hand it over.
66
Call me when you get home, and please be careful.
67
I will.
68
I mean it, Timmy.
69
No falling down the well.
70
Bye.
71
Bye.
72
Ever since you hired that Brennan, the little spark has gone out of your eyes.
73
It has.
74
Yes, it has.
75
And I am here to tell you that it is hell watching you go through this, so I think for your own sake, you should fire Froggy.
76
Froggy.
77
Uh, Brennan.
78
You want me to fire Brennan why?
79
The spark.
80
Remember the spark?
81
Why do you want me to fire Brennan?
82
Come back, little spark.
83
Come back.
84
Lorelei.
85
He doesn't write the orders down.
86
He never brings you food that's hot or yours.
87
He can't distinguish bagels from donuts.
88
He hands out butt napkins, and he has worn that foreigner T-shirt every single day since he started working here, and he doesn't know who they are.
89
I asked him.
90
What are butt napkins?
91
Kirk needed a napkin, and he pulled one out of his back pocket.
92
Hey, Bren?
93
Yeah, boss.
94
Would you give Kirk a napkin out of your back pocket?
95
Yeah.
96
Don't.
97
Okay.
98
That's it.
99
What about all the other stuff?
100
Look, you're just used to me.
101
Give him time.
102
Have you heard about the frog, the hands, and the sandwich?
103
No, but I heard about the rabbi, the priest, and the duck.
104
You're not taking me seriously.
105
Hey, Bren, get Ms. Gilmore a cup of hot coffee, will ya?
106
Just give the kid a chance, all right?
107
He's helping me out a great deal.
108
Decaf.
109
And I have faith in him.
110
All he needs is a little more time.
111
Blacktop.
112
To learn the ropes, and he'll be fine. Where did he go?
113
I don't know.
114
Hello.
115
How about that coffee?
116
I got it.
117
Thanks.
118
But, but, mine's a quarter-calf.
119
Three-fourths decaf, one-fourth caffeinated.
120
Four-fourths don't care.
121
Fill it up.
122
Sorry about this.
123
Okay.
124
Sometimes we get the world full of people who micromanage their
125
lives to the point where they can't wait an extra second for anything.
126
We're running out of coffee.
127
Yeah, I'll make some more.
128
I got it.
129
Do you know how? Do I?
130
I am Kathy Coffey, mister, the bastard offspring of Mrs. Folger and Juan Valdez.
131
Hey, Luke, where's Jess?
132
I don't know.
133
School?
134
Please, probably upstairs.
135
Really?
136
Excuse me.
137
It's too strong.
138
No, it's too strong.
139
You're on the phone.
140
Not everybody likes it that strong.
141
Well, then I shall convert them.
142
I am the Jehovah's Coffee Girl.
143
It's so hard being a woman, isn't it?
144
I guess.
145
I mean, you got your morals and your standards and your good common sense, and then BAM!
146
You meet some guy and all that goes right out the window.
147
But for every good woman, there's a dirty little wolf just ready to lead her astray.
148
You can't help it.
149
He's got the eyes, the chin, chest hair you could carpet your dining room with.
150
I mean, what's a woman to do?
151
We're not made of steel, for God's sakes.
152
Bebitt.
153
I was in a cult once.
154
Did I tell you that?
155
No. I met this guy once.
156
Gorgeous.
157
Tan.
158
Looked just like Mickey Hargaday.
159
We had coffee.
160
He gave me a pamphlet.
161
Next thing you know, I'm wearing a mumu, playing the tambourine, jumping up and down at the airport.
162
OK, I really have to get inside.
163
Oh, sure, hon, sure.
164
You go take good care of yourself.
165
And don't be embarrassed, toots.
166
This has happened to all of us.
167
Coffee, please, and a shot of cynicism.
168
So, why so cheery?
169
I don't know.
170
I'm just in a mood.
171
I don't know why.
172
But there's no particular reason for this, ma'am?
173
No. You don't believe me?
174
No, I believe you.
175
You say there's no reason for the mood, then there's no reason for the mood.
176
Simply nuts.
177
We're bipolar.
178
That's very big nowadays.
179
No, no, Patty, you're wrong.
180
They built the fire to throw themselves on it when their families found them.
181
Taylor, you're crazy.
182
They built the fire so they could stay warm their first night here.
183
Patty, I am the recording secretary for the Stars Hollow City Council.
184
I think I know how my town was founded.
185
Ugh!
186
Can nobody talk about anything else but this stupid festival?
187
It came out a lot louder than it was supposed to, didn't it?
188
Yep.
189
Yep.
190
This festival is commemorating the founding of our town, young lady.
191
I know, Taylor.
192
I'm sorry.
193
She's bipolar.
194
Really?
195
How about you so young?
196
Uh, can I get you two anything else?
197
Oh, no, thank you, sweetheart.
198
I don't know what is wrong with me.
199
This is a beautiful festival.
200
People should be enjoying it.
201
It's a crazy festival based on a nutty myth about two lunatics who in all probability did not even exist.
202
And even if they did, probably dropped out of diphtheria before age 24.
203
The town of Stars Hollow probably got its name from the local dance hall prostitute
204
or two rich drunk guys who made up the story to make it look good on a poster.
205
You are full of hate and loathing, and I gotta tell you, I love it.
206
Oh, it's so good to have someone to share this hate with.
207
My pleasure.
208
More coffee?
209
Yeah, please.
210
Hey, tomorrow, if you have time, I'm planning on despising everyone who says, hey, how's it going?
211
You're on.
212
Hey, how's it going?
213
Oh, no, that's just too easy.
214
Rachel.
215
Rachel.
216
You're Rachel?
217
You're Rachel?
218
Yep, I'm Rachel.
219
Time.
220
4.30.
221
Fill me up.
222
That's your sixth cup.
223
Yes, it is.
224
How about some tea?
225
Absolutely, throw it in with coffee.
226
I assume Rory's meeting you here?
227
Yes, she is, and she's late, and I have to go to class tonight, so that means I have ten more minutes.
228
I got it!
229
You did?
230
Right here.
231
Oh, well, hurry up.
232
Open it.
233
Leave the pot, Ethel.
234
I'm just an enabler.
235
Okay, just remember, these are the PSATs, okay?
236
So it's like the baby gap.
237
They don't count as much.
238
Plus, you can take them over again.
239
Plus, you are very young.
240
You have years of learning ahead of you.
241
And the really important thing is that you tried very hard.
242
I got a 740 verbal and a 760 math.
243
Oh, thank God you're not an idiot.
244
I got a 740 verbal and a 760 math?
245
Those are damn good scores, little lady.
246
Really amazing.
247
Top-notch.
248
Those are PSA-terrific.
249
Hey, Suki.
250
Is there any coffee left?
251
I had a really lousy night.
252
Oh, sorry.
253
You know, I've been so busy, I didn't even think about it.
254
Oh, that's okay.
255
I'll make some myself.
256
No, I'll make it.
257
I'll make it.
258
I wanna make it.
259
I wanna make it.
260
Let me do it.
261
I wanna make...
262
I make the coffee.
263
Suki, relax.
264
You're busy.
265
No, I'm not.
266
Go back to the counter.
267
Michelle's stealing.
268
Oh, my God.
269
What is this?
270
Uh, the dinner special?
271
The dinner special is a heart-shaped pastry with Max and Lorelei written on it?
272
I couldn't find any good salmon.
273
Oh, Suki, you're throwing me a wedding shower, aren't you?
274
It was supposed to be a surprise.
275
Oh, my God.
276
This is amazing, Suki, even for you.
277
Wait till you see the ice sculptures.
278
When is it?
279
Tonight.
280
Oh, so your yen to hit the bingo parlor in infield was a vicious, vicious lie.
281
This is incredible.
282
This is really, really incredible.
283
My God, is there any pink icing left on the planet?
284
The whole town is in on it, actually.
285
It's going to be quite the affair.
286
I think you'll be sufficiently impressed with the amount of people that want to celebrate this with you.
287
Michelle?
288
No, right.
289
I just, I can't get over this.
290
Oh.
291
Hey, wrong table.
292
Since when is there a right table?
293
Since the coffee cake I baked for you and the stupid balloons I blew up are at that table over there.
294
You blew up balloons for me?
295
Yep.
296
Aw, Luke, you old softie.
297
I count to three.
298
It's gone.
299
Thank you.
300
Oh, my God.
301
What?
302
He's power buffing.
303
Oh, no. That is just wrong.
304
We're competing against the Michelangelo of snow.
305
And we're Ernest Builds a Snowman.
306
We shouldn't look at him anymore.
307
Heads down.
308
Stay focused.
309
We can do this.
310
Absolutely.
311
Let's get some coffee.
312
Right behind you.
313
Hey!
314
Uh, I bet there's a room at the inn you could stay in, part-time at least.
315
Suki, what was that?
316
What? That noise.
317
What noise?
318
Suki, a huge thud just came from your closet.
319
Oh, yeah, that's my shoes.
320
Your shoes?
321
Yeah, that's my shoe closet.
322
And, um, sometimes I don't, uh, stack them properly.
323
And then, uh, they fall, and then there's the thudding sound.
324
and then, uh, no, uh, that's probably the sound that you just heard.
325
Oh, the ice cream's getting, uh, melted.
326
Jackson?
327
Yes?
328
How are you doing?
329
I'm doing fine.
330
You?
331
Suki, Jackson's hiding in the closet.
332
Yes, he is.
333
Why didn't you say something?
334
Well, because you were upset and you were bringing Rory over and I didn't want her to feel weird or uncomfortable.
335
So you stuck Jackson in the closet?
336
Yes, she did.
337
Jackson, come out.
338
I'm in my pajamas.
339
So are we.
340
Yeah, but mine are humiliating.
341
We won't laugh.
342
Yes, you will.
343
I promise we won't.
344
I'm fine.
345
Well, are you gonna be fine in there all night?
346
Because that's how long we're staying all night.
347
And knowing Suki, she's gonna make a big breakfast.
348
That's right.
349
So tonight will last into late tomorrow morning.
350
So the bottom line for you here, buddy, is you're gonna be holed up in that closet a very, very long time.
351
If I come out, you have to understand one thing.
352
Okay.
353
I have a cousin who owns a Xerox company that specializes in taking pictures and making them into things.
354
Calendars, coffee mugs, collector plates, and pajamas.
355
Jackson's wearing picture pajamas?
356
Yes he is.
357
Does he do this often?
358
Almost every night.
359
What are the pictures of him?
360
Oh!
361
During high school.
362
In his wrestling uniform.
363
Jackson, you have to come out here right now.
364
No. Why?
365
Because you sound too eager.
366
I'm not eager.
367
Am I eager?
368
Put your paws down.
369
Jackson, I'm not eager.
370
I just want you to come out here and be comfortable, that's all.
371
Well, okay.
372
Huh.
373
Well, honey, we're making milkshakes.
374
You wanna come in and help?
375
Okay.
376
If our house does fall down and we end up living in a hollowed out tree, this moment might make it all worth it.
377
I need some more equal.
378
There's one right there.
379
I need seven.
380
Seven?
381
You're not squirreling these away in your pocket for home, you sorry, Kirk?
382
No, I use seven in my coffee.
383
Okay, good.
384
Then allow me.
385
Go ahead and give that a taste, see if it's to your liking.
386
Okay.
387
Perfection.
388
Good.
389
Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry.
390
Yes, sweetie?
391
What are the tiny cups for?
392
They're coffee cups.
393
They're for coffee.
394
What are you, running out or something?
395
I'm sorry?
396
Never mind.
397
Listen, we are very sleepy this morning, so would you happen to have something in a larger size, say a mug, a terrine, a small bowl of some kind?
398
A coffee bowl?
399
Yes, a coffee bowl.
400
Bring two, please?
401
We don't have coffee, Pulse.
402
I'm sorry.
403
Okay, well then, would you mind bringing, what do you think, two, three?
404
Three's good.
405
Yeah, three of these cute little cuppy things.
406
Oh, and could you leave the pot in the meantime?
407
Well, looks like coffee.
408
Smells like coffee.
409
Good person stops there.
410
This sucks.
411
Just put a lot of stuff in there so you can't taste it.
412
How am I going to fit my three sugars into Barbie's Malibu Dream Cup here?
413
It'll be all sugar and no coffee.
414
I might prefer it that way.
415
Oh, man.
416
What are you doing?
417
I need coffee.
418
It's 5 in the morning.
419
Make coffee at your own house.
420
I did.
421
I drank it all.
422
You drank all the coffee in your house before 5 in the morning?
423
Big gulps, lots of sugar.
424
All right, get up.
425
And just a little bit of cream, because it makes it cold.
426
Keep moving.
427
I already had the longest day of my life, and oh, look, it's only 10.
428
How nice.
429
There's no coffee.
430
That's not funny.
431
I can give you herbal tea.
432
This is not an herbal tea morning.
433
This is a coffee morning.
434
Every morning for you is a coffee morning.
435
This is a jumbo coffee morning.
436
I need coffee and an IV.
437
I can give you tea and a balance bar.
438
Please, please, please tell me you're kidding.
439
I'm kidding.
440
You're sick.
441
Yep.
442
You're a sadist.
443
You're a fiend.
444
You're pretty.
445
So here I go.
446
To go, please.
447
You want to know what this stuff does to your central nervous system?
448
Ooh, do you have a chart?
449
Because I love charts.
450
Forget it.
451
Kill yourself.
452
So what happened this morning that was so awful?
453
Rory started Chilton.
454
Really?
455
Yeah.
456
What?
457
That's how you dress to take Rory to Chilton.
458
No, but...
459
I mean, that's a fancy school.
460
My clothes were at the cleaners, and I had the fuzzy clock, and it didn't purr on time.
461
It didn't purr?
462
It's fuzzy.
463
It purrs.
464
You know what?
465
Never mind.
466
I gotta go.
467
I had a plan, damn it.
468
Me too.
469
Next time you get in city.
470
I'm going to go.
471
Visualize, ladies.
472
It's a Thanksgiving Day parade.
473
You're standing on Fifth Avenue.
474
There's a hundred beautiful boys marching in place behind you.
475
And there you are.
476
You are out in front with your fabulous legs and your perfect tush.
477
Your baton is on fire and the crowd goes nuts!
478
Okay, cookie time.
479
Lorelei, hi.
480
Hey, Patty.
481
Isn't today Rory's first day at Chilton?
482
Oh, yeah, she's there right now.
483
I just got through dropping her off.
484
Is that what you wore?
485
No, look at the time.
486
See you, Patty.
487
Bye.
488
Oh, ladies, what do I see?
489
Naked girls.
490
No, no, keep those leotards on.
491
This is not Brazil.
492
Where is she?
493
Have some coffee while you wait.
494
No, I couldn't take coffee.
495
Big hole through the roof.
496
Very bad.
497
You're saying no to coffee?
498
This is big.
499
Can't tell me what it is.
500
I just, I really need to tell Roy first.
501
But you're happy about this news.
502
I might be.
503
I may be.
504
It's just kind of a wow.
505
I can't believe this is happening to me.
506
Kind of a mind-blowing moment.
507
Oh, there she is.
508
I'm going to go.
509
The whole town gets one today.
510
Bye.
511
I hit
512
us!
513
You first!
514
Now you first!
515
I always knew that we'd find someone like you.
516
So welcome to our little corner of the room.
517
Nice.
518
Coffee?
519
Oh, yeah, thanks.
520
How are you, Jess?
521
I'm not bleeding or anything.
522
Well, then it's gonna be a good day, huh?
523
7.45. So?
524
So do you want me to go to school, or do you want to openly defy child labor laws?
525
Go.
526
Coffee, coffee.
527
Okay, what do you want?
528
Eggs, toast, combo?
529
What's the rush there, Zippy?
530
I'm just swamped this morning.
531
I was supposed to have help, but I don't.
532
So order right now or I'm bringing the both of you an egg white omelet with a side of steamed spinach.
533
Pancakes.
534
French toast.
535
Hey.
536
Jeez.
537
Sorry.
538
No, I just...
539
You want some coffee?
540
Okay, I'll just lick it off the table.
541
My girlfriend's gone out of town with some friends, and I'm watching Buster for her.
542
And they're girlfriends, not guys.
543
I called the hotel she booked and verified that it's a girl's name on the register with her.
544
Not that I don't trust her.
545
Clearly.
546
Over there okay?
547
Sure.
548
Carol, Danny, Jamie, Sean, Chris.
549
What's that?
550
It's just a list of guys' names.
551
They could be girls.
552
You want coffee?
553
Yes.
554
What is this?
555
Phone cord?
556
I can't have this here.
557
But don't worry.
558
It's not plugged into your regular line.
559
It's the fax line you put in a year ago that you never use.
560
You mean the fax line you made me put in to get in fax orders, even though no one has ever wanted to put in a fax order, and I never got the fax machine.
561
Like I told you, I would never, ever get the fax machine, making the fax line pointless.
562
Hold on.
563
Let me get on the Guinness World Records website.
564
Yes!
565
That's the most times anyone has ever used the word fax in a sentence.
566
Just be quick with this.
567
Man, I love email.
568
Every day, Rory and I write each other multiple times.
569
It's great.
570
You enjoy typing to people more than talking to them?
571
Wrong perspective.
572
Email is a return to the romantic days of letter writing.
573
It's pure Dickens.
574
Why Dickens?
575
It's just, when I picture letter writing, I picture Charles Dickens.
576
Charles Dickens wrote more letters than other people?
577
No, it's just I can easily picture him in his study with his dog
578
and his pipe and his fancy feathered pen writing, Cheerio, bean, have a cup of tea, how's Big Ben?
579
How's Tower of London, sister suffragette, tuppence a bag.
580
Sounds like an idiot.
581
Hey, Luke, coffee?
582
This is embarrassing.
583
I could unplug it, but then I just have to start the whole process all over again.
584
Or you could just eat here and save the emailing for when you're...
585
Excuse me.
586
You have a dog there?
587
No. Why?
588
Just putting two and two together.
589
Well, it's coming out five.
590
Buster is at home asleep.
591
Mm-hmm.
592
Okay.
593
What'll you have?
594
Oatmeal, extra brown sugar on the side, and a pound of raw hamburger.
595
Or just the oatmeal will be fine.
596
Voila!
597
This does nothing.
598
What?
599
It makes it easier to limbo under.
600
This is my place.
601
I shouldn't have to limbo.
602
Still sleepy?
603
Why is Kirk talking to his man purse?
604
You've got sleepy face.
605
You have to tinkle.
606
Uh, where is that?
607
Just looking for my lucky magazine.
608
And, uh, ow!
609
Paper cut.
610
Hey, Rory.
611
Coffee?
612
Thanks, Luke.
613
Who's your friend?
614
Angela Lansbury.
615
Huh?
616
You're the owner here?
617
Yep.
618
You want some coffee, Angela?
619
No, thanks.
620
So, you're on the diner, huh?
621
Oh, boy.
622
You got a lot of truckers through here?
623
Truckers?
624
Yeah.
625
You know, guys on the road for weeks, lonely, looking for company, a little pick-me-up, things like that.
626
What's she talking about?
627
Your guess is as good as mine.
628
It's pretty common knowledge that diners are breeding grounds for prostitution and drug dealers.
629
What?
630
Have you ever seen anything like that going down here?
631
Have I ever...
632
What about that guy over there?
633
What's his story?
634
Reverend Nichols?
635
Reverend Nichols, huh?
636
Is that, like, Dr. Feelgood?
637
Rory, how much do you like this person?
638
Do what you gotta do, Luke.
639
Hey, where'd he come from?
640
What's up there?
641
Is that where you keep the girls?
642
You got yourself a little cat house up there?
643
Wow, I think she got you, Uncle Luke.
644
You better give up now.
645
Do not add to this insanity.
646
An innocent boy like me should not be raised in an atmosphere like this.
647
Jess!
648
I want to be good.
649
Life's just not letting me.
650
Rory, get her out of here.
651
Okay, let's go.
652
Nice.
653
What is the special omelet?
654
You won't like it.
655
How do you know?
656
Because you've been eating here for years and I know what you like.
657
You won't like it.
658
Can I at least hear what it is?
659
Fine.
660
It's three eggs with bits of bacon.
661
I like bacon.
662
Cubed tomatoes.
663
Sounds good.
664
Swiss cheese and a dash of oregano.
665
A dash, she says.
666
I've got other customers here.
667
I'm gonna go with the special omelet.
668
Okay.
669
Okay.
670
With the side of bacon.
671
There's bacon in the omelet.
672
Oh, then skip the bacon.
673
The side of bacon?
674
The bacon in the omelet.
675
All the bacon.
676
Can I get jack cheese? On the side.
677
Instead of Swiss.
678
Swiss is so stringy.
679
Fine, jack cheese.
680
Also, I think I'm allergic to oregano, so hold that too.
681
And some coffee.
682
So just the eggs, tomatoes, and jack cheese?
683
Not too many tomatoes.
684
Light on the tomatoes.
685
Very light.
686
Just a teeny tiny amount, practically none.
687
I'm skipping the tomatoes.
688
It's an omelet with jack cheese.
689
Perfect.
690
You did this on purpose. Did what?
691
French toast for me. That was cruel.
692
I know.
693
I thought I smelled coffee.
694
Good morning, your highness.
695
I trust you slept well?
696
And to what do I owe this lovely display of domesticity?
697
Well, being brilliant and all, I figured you'd probably still not be in the mood to go to Luke's this morning, so I thought we'd have a nice little breakfast here.
698
Wow, okay.
699
Hey.
700
Good?
701
These are from Luke's.
702
What?
703
You got up this morning, went to Luke's, and bought this back.
704
Well, I sure as hell am not gonna cook.
705
They're good, thank you.
706
You put them on a plate just the way you like them.
707
He's so sexy and smart and funny, and he likes coffee.
708
God, he sounds perfect for you.
709
Did you get onions?
710
No. Hey, Luke, you forgot the onions.
711
I'm just so mixed up, though, you know?
712
This is a real crossroads kind of situation.
713
It's like to perm or not to perm.
714
I'm really confused. For God's sake.
715
Go ahead.
716
I'm still listening.
717
You're about to, uh, perm your hair.
718
I just want to do the right thing.
719
I'm not sure I see what the problem is.
720
Oh, there are many problems.
721
First, I do not like to involve Rory in my personal life.
722
I don't want her to have to deal with that.
723
You know, I bring some guy home, and he might not be the guy, but then she gets all attached to him,
724
and then all of a sudden I decide that I don't like the way he eats or he hums incessantly or...
725
Or the way he smacks his lips or how his hair isn't really his.
726
Yeah, and then I break up with him, and then Rory is the one who gets hurt.
727
I totally understand.
728
This guy is her teacher.
729
I mean, there's no way to keep him out of her life.
730
She sees him every day.
731
Are you the open-faced turkey?
732
Yep.
733
Okay, I added a little fresh lemon and a little cayenne pepper.
734
You gotta plot.
735
You do know that Rory's not a baby anymore.
736
I know, that's what he said.
737
Maybe I'm being too serious, right?
738
Maybe I should loosen the rules a bit.
739
Plus, it'd be great to get, you know.
740
What?
741
You know.
742
No, I don't.
743
You know.
744
He knows.
745
You know?
746
Yeah, I know.
747
Sookie!
748
Hey, I was looking for your paprika, Stretch.
749
What have I said about the counter?
750
I know, but...
751
The counter is a sacred space, my sacred space.
752
You don't do yoga on the Dalai Lama's mat, and you don't come behind my counter, period.
753
I was trying to help.
754
You bring her again, I want her on a leash.
755
I mean it.
756
He does make a damn fine burger, though.
757
He does at that.
758
Here you go.
759
Jeez.
760
Sorry, folks.
761
Here.
762
There we go.
763
Free coffee all over.
764
Might want to put your hand over that.
765
There we go.
766
Tom, what the hell is going on out there?
767
What are we doing in your apartment?
768
The ceiling's falling in.
769
I got customers' drywall here.
770
Oh, well, that can't be good.
771
You said minimal disruptions.
772
Hey, this is minimal disruptions.
773
Look, I need to decide this change order.
774
What happened now?
775
Well, we broke through this wall and we found some pipes that shouldn't be there.
776
We gotta move them.
777
Move them where?
778
Sure, we gotta find out what they do first.
779
You're kidding.
780
Oh, yeah.
781
Nothing I like more than a good moving a pipe joke.
782
Fine.
783
One more week, that's it.
784
Oh, sure.
785
Construction ultimatum.
786
Ha!
787
That's even funnier my moving a pipe joke.
788
Hey.
789
Jeez, look at this place.
790
It's a mess.
791
How long?
792
Nope, can't sit here.
793
Why not?
794
Three people got nailed in the head here earlier.
795
But their food is okay, right?
796
Well, you just move.
797
Outside.
798
You know, if I sit here one more second, I just might be outside.
799
Order me some coffee.
800
Oh, you are really funny.
801
You and Tom should put an act together.
802
I'd leave it open.
803
You've been sitting there for two hours.
804
I just want a little more coffee.
805
You've had eight refills.
806
You know, in France, when you sit in order, you can have the table as long as you want it.
807
I bet you know what I'm gonna say next.
808
That we're not in France?
809
Fine, I'll go.
810
Can I have my check?
811
So, um, how's the spreading of the news going?
812
Well, it worked just like you wanted, with one notable exception. Who?
813
What?
814
He's just such a loner lately.
815
The news hasn't gotten to him.
816
Is there any way to speed this up, Kirk?
817
Sorry, I'm trying to figure out the tip, and I've always been terrible at math.
818
What's 6% of 443?
819
Could you just tell him now, Sue, so I can cross this off my list?
820
Well, I...
821
He's coming over.
822
Hang on.
823
Hey, Luke.
824
Yeah?
825
You heard the latest news?
826
Kinda sad, lower line, Max.
827
What about them?
828
The wedding's off.
829
What?
830
What happened?
831
You know, I don't really know.
832
It felt kinda sudden.
833
This is actually her now.
834
Oh, well, uh, tell her I'm sorry.
835
That's tough.
836
He says he's sorry.
837
Thanks.
838
Talk to you later.
839
Bye.
840
Bye-bye.
841
What's this?
842
Refill number nine.
843
I thought you said I had to go.
844
You can hang a bit.
845
Really?
846
I'm to France.
847
Coffee's on the house, though.
848
Thanks.
849
Or should I say, gracias?
850
In fact, everyone's coffee's on the house today.
851
I like your hat.
852
Oh.
853
Thank 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.
