I need to borrow some money.

Oh, sure, yeah.

How much?

$2 ,000?

Yes, $2 ,000 exactly.

How did you know that?

Uh, well, I, uh, I know how much you used to make, and I know how much your rent is.

Oh, okay.

I am on fire!

Listen, this is really nice.

Did you write a check to Monica for $2 ,000?

Did Monica borrow money from you?

Uh, kind of.

I can't believe her.

Did she tell you we were having money problems?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. It wasn't because of your money problems.

It was for something for her.

What?

Something personal, yeah.

What would she get for herself for $2 ,000 that she wouldn't tell me about?

Excuse me.

Boob job.

I don't want her to get a boob job.

That's crazy.

Well, it's not that crazy, okay?

Making them smaller, that would be crazy.

Hey, Rach.

There she is, my perfectly proportioned wife.

Don't look at me.

I never get his jokes.

Thank you?

No, no, don't thank me.

Thank you.

Do you know there is not one thing that I would change about you?

Not one single thing.

And definitely not two single things.

Okay, you're being weird.

Do you want sex, or did you do something bad?

No, no, no, no. I just love the way you look.

I am warm for your form.

Okay, um, you know the old classics, like, you know, you look nice?

They're still okay.

Well, yes, yes, but you look nice can mean that I'm saying, like, your face looks nice.

I want to compliment your body.

I mean, I wouldn't change it at all.

And more specifically, I wouldn't want anything to get any bigger.

Okay.

I mean, you wouldn't want any part of me to get any bigger, would you?

Don't answer that.

That's when you thought that dude couldn't get any weirder I know, why do you think he was so worried about me getting bigger?

I don't know, what brought that on?

Oh my god, oh my god, you know we're trying to get pregnant

So he's probably starting to freak out about the fact that my body's gonna change

No, you really think that's what it is?

You've heard him, no bigger, you're perfect Just don't get any bigger

My body sounded just like my high school wrestling coach.

I'm gonna have to talk to Chandler.

Yeah, if you don't, I will.

Of course your body's gonna change.

Your breasts are gonna get bigger.

Your ass is gonna get bigger.

You're gonna lose bladder control.

God, it's just such a magical time.

Hey, Rach.

Uh, perfection.

Wouldn't change a thing.

Not a thing.

Honey?

Yeah? About that.

Um, I'm going to change.

Yes, but honey, you don't have to.

I'm gonna get bigger.

Honey, I love your breasts the way they are.

Ugh, fascist.

Well, my breasts are gonna get bigger whether you like it or not.

And you know what?

It's not just my breasts.

My ass is gonna get bigger, too.

Your ass?

Man, don't be surprised if her hands and her feet get bigger, too.

They do that?

It's kind of a package deal.

God, why?

Why would you want to do that to yourself?

I thought it was something that we both wanted.

All right, look, if it means that much to you, I may be able to get on board with the big boobs,

but the giant ass and the big clown feet?

Oh, my God, Chandler.

If you can't handle this, what are you gonna be like in the hospital with the blood

and the screaming and the little person that's shooting out of her?

What?

Joey, why did you tell

Chandler that Monica was getting a boob job?

Because she is.

Joey, Chandler knows I borrowed the money.

Mm -hmm, for your boob job.

Joe, get over.

Okay, so I'm out $4 ,000, and nobody's boobs are getting any bigger?

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.
