The End
2
He's heading for that cube.
3
Come on, Jake.
4
Oh, yeah.
5
What?
6
He's gone.
7
What?
8
What happened?
9
Hey, hey, did you guys see that?
10
That might be the nastiest thing I've ever seen.
11
N-n-n-n-nasty!
12
Nasty Jazz!
13
Nasty- Hey, hey, easy buddy!
14
That's our friend Billy!
15
He got possessed by the Lich!
16
Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean nothing by it.
17
I mean, I have a lot of nasty friends.
18
My uncle was nasty.
19
I'm basically honorary nasty.
20
Do you know where he went?
21
We have to find our friend. Who knows?
22
Uh, oh.
23
Actually, it depends on the wish I granted him.
24
Wish?
25
Yeah, he wished for the extinction of all life and I did it.
26
Guess I changed his timeline or something?
27
WHAT?!
28
Oh, Glob!
29
Woah, wait a minute!
30
How can that be if I'm still here kicking it with my main man, Finn?
31
Oh, that's because you're safe in my time room until you make your wish.
32
Oh...
33
I wish that life wasn't any more ex- Woah!
34
Wait, Jake.
35
Don't mess this up.
36
Think about it.
37
If we wish everything back to normal, the Lich could just jazz it up again.
38
Oh, yeah.
39
Jazz.
40
Hmm...
41
Hmm...
42
Hmm...
43
I got it!
44
I wish...
45
the Lich...
46
never.. even ever existed!
47
Mom?
48
Mom, what's wrong?
49
Finn, I need you to do something for me.
50
It's very important.
51
I need you to take the mule into town today and sell him for as much as you can.
52
What?
53
So Bartram, but I love Bartram.
54
What the heck, Mom?
55
Shh, Finn.
56
Please, just do as I say.
57
Got it?
58
Dad?
59
I push you.
60
You fall down.
61
The Destiny Gang?
62
Finn, please, everything will be fine.
63
I promise.
64
Now just do as I say.
65
I'm sorry, Bartram.
66
I guess Dad must be in real trouble to be doing this.
67
But I bet there's a lot of fine folk looking to buy a good mule.
68
Why, I bet I could even come visit sometimes.
69
Won't that be swell, Bartram?
70
Bartram?
71
Dang it, Bartram!
72
Barbar!
73
What the?
74
Barbar?
75
How'd you get up there?
76
Whoop!
77
Jake, look!
78
Golden Crown!
79
Unbelievable!
80
We can sell it and keep Bartram!
81
Bong bong!
82
Hold it right there!
83
Who are you?
84
I'm a thousand years old and this is my crown!
85
Okay, okay, but, um, maybe I could just borrow it for a while?
86
No!
87
No!
88
No!
89
This crown is magic, bad, terrible magic.
90
Too dangerous for mortal fingies like yours.
91
One thousand years ago, my beloved friend Simon Petrikov gave his life to save this foolish,
92
unworthy planet from annihilation.
93
A frightful bomb was poised to bathe the land in mutagenic horror.
94
But using his mastery of ice and snow, Simon froze the bomb in mid-flight only inches from the ground.
95
Word remains to this very day, today ever ripe and ready to blow.
96
But he alone was not saved, trapped under the giant weight of the enormous bomb.
97
Poor Simon perished.
98
Little help.
99
And the horrible crown, grieving its lost master,
100
loosed a spasm of magic so wild and crazy the entire Earth was buried in ice for 400 boring years.
101
Uh, none of that is true.
102
This magic is fake.
103
Daddy says the false prophets of old use cheap parlor tricks to control the people.
104
And to get babes.
105
Like ten or twelve hot babes each.
106
No!
107
Magic is real!
108
Lady, you've been down here too long.
109
Why don't you just let...
110
Step off, or I will use the system!
111
Lady, quit it with that thing!
112
I'm sorry.
113
You must die!
114
Oh, um...
115
Oh, man!
116
This thing!
117
Dang it!
118
Go, Jake!
119
Go back to the underworld, you beast!
120
Sorry, I gotta save my dad.
121
Destroy the world more like it!
122
Dummy, I give up.
123
The crown.
124
Go get it.
125
I know you're not really talking to me.
126
I'm not crazy.
127
Get the crown.
128
Go get it.
129
Get the crown, Marceline!
130
Go get it!
131
I can't.. my knees.
132
Well, that's really disappointing, I must say.
133
I'm just...
134
Whatever, you're really letting me down right now.
135
Okay, alright.
136
Cool crown!
137
Who wants a cool crown?
138
I found another dead magician, dude!
139
I'll take it.
140
Awesome!
141
How much cash you got?
142
Oh, I'm poor.
143
But what about I trade you for a personal concert at your house?
144
I'll come over later and sing you, like, four songs.
145
I mostly do covers, but I have originals, too.
146
Do you own any spoons?
147
No. Let me see that.
148
Hey!
149
Wait, Destiny gang, I'm gonna sell that to pay you guys!
150
Trami, what you think?
151
Is it my style?
152
Big Destiny won't know.
153
Yo, boss!
154
Snap!
155
Huh?
156
What is this?
157
Are you telling me what to wear, Trami?
158
No, boss.
159
You look good!
160
You think I should reinvent my style and put a stupid thing on my head?
161
No, man!
162
You tell us what to wear!
163
Otherwise you would dress like an idiot!
164
Bam!
165
Crown shorts!
166
Amazing!
167
Yeah!
168
Clap harder, trash bag.
169
Okay, you guys.
170

172
One arm needs to learn the rules, unless you want your butt handed to you.
173

174

176

Mom!
244
Dad!
245
You said this thing is magic?
246
Yes.
247
Powerful. And dangerous.
248
But you lost your mind in a cave!
249
Whatever.
250
You just gotta believe me, okay?
251
For serious, you donk.
252

Wait, no!
257
Dang it!
258
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
259
The End The End The End The End The End The End
260
Ladies and gentlemen, I have invented time travel.
261
This phasical sphere is flooded with infowaves that scan every second, logging every molecule that passes through its volume.
262
I made special gloves for it.
263
Now check it out!
264
It's logging time!
265
I'll set the clock back now.
266
Now I'll push the time travel button.
267
Eh, it's not really time travel though.
268
He just, you know, moved their stuff around.
269
He didn't really manipulate time.
270
Ice King's done it better before, with magic.
271
Well, I enjoyed your presentation very much, Princess.
272
Thank you for inviting me.
273
No!
274
For all intents and purposes, they traveled back to an earlier point in their time.
275
Eh, I guess, but not really.
276
I mean, Ice King did it for real.
277
Guy pulled his fiancée out of time from a thousand years ago using magic.
278
Hey, Time, where's my fiancée, am I right? fiance, am I right?
279
Jake, don't deny my science!
280
This is a time travel machine.
281
Take me back to where my ex-boyfriend Brad loved me!
282
LSP.
283
What?
284
LSP, that's not how it works.
285
It can only rearrange your molecules into a previously logged formation.
286
And you need these gloves.
287
Get them to me.
288
No. You witch!
289
Get them to me now!
290
No, I'm sorry, but you need to pull yourself down.
291
You're a skunk!
292
You're a skunk, you skunk!
293
You pretty skunk!
294
You don't know heartache with the whole candy kingdom in love with your pretty bubblegum buns!
295
Ah!
296
Glob!
297
Hear me, Lumpy Space Princess.
298
I will avoid declaring war on the entirety of Lumpy Space ruled by your parents if you apologize to me immediately.
299
I'm sorry.
300
I'm sorry you're so stupid.
301
Whoa!
302
Shit!
303
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China,
304
all to myself alone.
305
Everyone in here is a loser.
306
Nobody's as good as Brad.
307
Oh Brad!
308
Why can't I get over you?
309
Have you tried burning an effigy?
310
That's what they do in movies.
311
This isn't a movie, Charlie!
312
It's real life!
313
Another cucumber water, your majesty?
314
What?
315
Oh, I'm sorry for staring, but I know you.
316
I know you.
317
We used to...
318
Everyone knows me, I'm Lumpy Space Princess.
319
No, from high school.
320
We were lab partners.
321
I'm Johnny.
322
Ugly Johnny?
323
Yeah, you used to call me that quite a bit.
324
Yeah, but I can't call you that anymore!
325
Come on, sit up straight!
326
Let me see them eyes!
327
Mmm... Do it!
328
Nope.
329
Can't call you that anymore.
330
Hahahaha!
331
So, what brings you to the candy kingdom, Johnny?
332
Business, actually.
333
I own my own company, bottling and distributing lumpy gas.
334
Mm-hmm.
335
And I'm up for a big contract here in the kingdom, which could really help my business take off, so to speak.
336
That's so cool.
337
You're like your own boss or whatever.
338
To be honest, I'm a little nervous about this meeting tomorrow.
339
Why, Johnny?
340
I'm bad at talking to people.
341
That's because you have poor posture.
342
Really?
343
You gotta stop slouching.
344
Now look me in the eye!
345
Yeah, stay like that.
346
Boy, LSP, you sure are making me feel good about myself.
347
You feeling good makes me feel good, Johnny.
348
So, where are you staying while you're in town?
349
I'm sublighting a friend's apartment.
350
Talk is cheap, Johnny.
351
You should take me there. That chair?
352
Oh, it used to be over there, but I moved it.
353
I moved it.
354
Johnny, it's so nice.
355
You've really made it your own.
356
Thanks.
357
Ooh, records!
358
Uh, uh, ha ha ha.
359
Okay, wanna see something funny?
360
Yeah.
361
Okay.
362
Okay.
363
Sit down!
364
Okay, are you ready?
365
Yeah.
366
Ah ha ha ha!
367
Okay!
368
It's his face, but on your body.
369
Oh no!
370
That's the joke!
371
My friend Melissa and I came up with that.
372
You're smart that you get it.
373
Boy, when this evening started, I was feeling so dump trucks.
374
But now it's like a hundred forklifts.
375
I feel the same way, Johnny.
376
Do you feel this couch?
377
What?
378
Because it's where you're gonna sleep!
379
Seriously, it's getting late, and I don't want you walking home.
380
So, I insist.
381
I'll be in the other room sleeping peacefully...
382
...and dreaming about you.
383
Johnny!
384
Thank you for everything.
385
Johnny!
386
Go to bed already!
387
You have a big day tomorrow!
388
Good night!
389
Rise and shine!
390
I hope you like pancakes, cause I got...
391
Oh.
392
I guess she'll be the one who got away.
393
Looking for someone?
394
You're still here!
395
Course I am.
396
Now make me some breakfast.
397
Okay, Johnny.
398
Good luck at your meeting, and remember, I'll be right over there, sending you good vibes while you're wowing Princess Bubblegum.
399
Um, sending you good vibes, sending you good vibes, sending you good vibes.
400
Yo, why are you so confident, man?
401
Aren't you nervous to meet the princess?
402
Nope.
403
My GF is back at my place sending me good vibes.
404
Johnny's friend has so many movie channels.
405
Haha, that movie was so dumb.
406
Oh, Poop!
407
Johnny's meeting!
408
I wonder how it went.
409
Johnny!
410
Oh, Johnny, you're home!
411
How'd it go?
412
Oh, don't keep me in suspense, Johnny!
413
I did it, babe!
414
I landed the sale!
415
Johnny, that's wonderful!
416
And I couldn't have done it without you.
417
I know!
418
And here's the best part.
419
She wants me back at the castle tonight to go over the contracts during a royal dinner.
420
Oh my glob!
421
It's gonna be so nice to have dinner inside the castle.
422
It's been a while.
423
Oh, no. It's a business meeting, not social.
424
Just me and the princess, I'm afraid.
425
What?!
426
LSP?
427
So, Baba Gum thinks she can horn in on my territory?
428
Sip from my soup after I cut all the onions?
429
Yo, think again, Trench!
430
Who-who are you talking to?
431
So, how are you enjoying your time in the Candy Kingdom?
432
Oh, it's just great.
433
I met this amazing purple girl at the Candy Tavern.
434
That's wonderful, Johnny.
435
Now, tell me- Oh, Johnny.
436
Ugly Johnny.
437
Through my tender love, you have metamorphed into beautiful Johnny Butterfly.
438
Every relationship, I gamble with my heart.
439
I go all in, because the payoff is true love.
440
I see you when I close my eyes, and thinking of you makes my mind feel light.
441
All my problems fade away, and I can't help smiling.
442
To let someone you love go into the arms of another takes a big person.
443
I don't know if I can be that big.
444
Ha ha!
445
We're under attack!
446
Can I help?
447
No, hide yourself beneath the tablecloth.
448
There's cyanide-laced gum under the table.
449
Chew it if you hear raiders break down the door.
450
Okay.
451
Hi, Johnny.
452
What are you doing here?
453
I'm going to time travel you back to when we first met at the tavern.
454
Back to when you loved me.
455
so we can have a second chance.
456
What?
457
Manfred, where are the banana guards?
458
Take a chill pill, princess.
459
I handled it.
460
What did you handle?
461
You know, someone drove their car in the door, but no one was driving and it exploded, so I handled it.
462
Don't chew it!
463
Don't chew it!
464
Don't chew it!
465
Don't do it!
466
Ah!
467
Johnny?
468
Come on!
469
Sit up straight!
470
Let me see them eyes!
471
Ha ha!
472
Uh...
473
He's not here.
474
What?
475
But I sent him back.
476
The sphere would have had to log his molecules before you engaged the time travel function.
477
Well...
478
Then where is he?
479
I don't know.
480
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
481
Then if he's gone, can you send me back to before I met him so I won't have to remember this heartache!
482
If that's what you want. Do it. Do it!
483
You witch, give them the- wha- wha- where are we?
484
You asked me to use this.
485
Don't touch me!
486
You pretty skunk!
487
You don't know heartache! with the whole candy kingdom in love with your bubblegum buns!
488
Come along with me and the butterflies and bees We can wander through the forest and do so as we please
489
Come along with me To a cliff under a tree BADDER!
490
BADDER!
491
This party is so crazy!

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.
