I cooked for us.

Okay, mom.
133
Oh, God, please don't.
134
What's up, Martin?
135
I always get nauseous from flying, and I ate too much earlier.
136
What are you trying to say with that?
137
Do you have to vomit?
138
Yes, I think so.
139
Don't puke at me, okay?
140
Where am I supposed to puke then?
141
I don't care but not at me.
142
And not on the kids either.
143
Help, I can't see anything.
144
You puked on the pilot.
145
Sorry, that was accidental.
146
Oh, we're going to crash.
147
Is everything okay with them?
148
I've never seen anyone eat four burgers at once before.

They had nothing to eat for two weeks.
150
What about Lisa?

She hasn't been around for a long time.
152
Lisa is still in hospital.
153
I hope she gets well again.
154
I hope so too.
155
I can't pay my rent here without Lisa.
156
She is my best customer.
157
I'll have two more burgers please.
158
And a big cola.
159
The same for me.
160
And french fries.
161
Okay, coming right away.
162
We'll let the kids eat.
163
Then we'll go to the hospital right away.
164
I hope they've already arrived.
165
Mayday, we're crashing.
166
And I have vomit all over my face.
167
If we don't die in here, Martin, then I'll kill you.
168
Hey, I am not responsible for my diarrhea.
169
Pull yourself together, Robert.
170
You've got to land that thing now. That was close.
171
I'm never going to fly with you again, Martin.
172
We need to get Lisa to the doctor.
173
Yes, you'll take Lisa to the emergency room.
174
I'll take care of the others.
175
Okay, Habibi.
176
Doctor, I need your help.
177
What are you doing there?
178
Get the fart bomb out of here right now.
179
Lisa is no longer a stink bomb.
180
The fart has already come out.
181
Is she still alive?
182
Yes, but she won't wake up.
183
Please help her out.
184
I can't lose her again.
185
Okay, I'll take a look at her.
186
Please follow me.
187
Oh God.
188
What's up?
189
What does Lisa have?
190
How long didn't she eat anything?
191
About two weeks.
192
But before that, she ate so many burgers.
193
It's not that bad, is it?
194
Yes, her kidneys are broken.
195
Oh, no problem.
196
I'll buy two new ones at the supermarket.
197
You can't just buy them like that.
198
Someone has to give Lisa one of their kidneys.
199
How many of these things do I have?
200
Usually two.
201
Lisa can have one of them.
202
I need to do some tests with you. Are you ready?
203
Yes, I've never eaten so much.
204
One more bite and I'll explode.
205
Then let's go to the hospital quickly.
206
Lisa needs us now.
207
Did Martin get in touch with you?
208
No, not yet.
209
That is not a good sign.
210
We're leaving now.
211
No one is left behind here.
212
And doctor, how are my kidneys doing?
213
I'm not done yet.
214
Please stay quiet.
215
Is that what you mean?
216
Ouch.
217
I said be quiet.
218
Okay, I'm quiet.
219
I don't understand that.
220
What is it?
221
Your kidneys look like the ones of a 90 -year -old man.
222
It looks like you're just eating chips all day long and only ever drink cola.
223
So Lisa can have my kidney?
224
No, your kidneys aren't good for anything.
225
They belong in the trash can.
226
She must be here somewhere.
227
What's up, Martin?
228
Where is Lisa?
229
Lisa needs a kidney, but mine is too bad for her.
230
Why does she need a kidney?
231
Because her kidneys are broken.
232
We still have to do the transplant today.
233
Otherwise, Lisa won't survive.
234
Which of us can give Lisa a kidney?
235
I need to test each one individually.
236
Perhaps one of you can be the donor.
237
Please do the tests quickly, doctor.
238
Lisa, come back to me.
239
Dad is waiting for you here.
240
Lisa, you little fart animal.
241
Oh, baby.
242
I have good news and bad news.
243
Which do you want to hear first?
244
Is this an interview?
245
Just say it.
246
Yara, you can give Lisa a kidney.
247
Okay, she can have my kidney.
248
But the surgery is very dangerous.
249
You could die doing it.
250
I still want to do it.
251
Are you sure?
252
Yes, let's get started.
253
Yara, we need to talk about this first.
254
What is there to talk about?
255
Lisa dies if I don't do that.
256
Yara, my darling.
257
I know you love Lisa.
258
But we can't lose you again.
259
My decision is made, doctor.
260
When do we start?
261
Preferably right now.
262
Oh god, Yara is so cool.
263
A few hours later.
264
How did the surgery go?
265
I can't say it yet.
266
Hopefully they'll both wake up again.
267
Did it work?
268
Is Lisa healthy again?
269
Yara you're alive.
270
Thank God.
271
What about Lisa?
272
How is she doing?
273
She's not awake yet.
274
I'm sorry.
275
We've tried everything.
276
We're going to miss you so much Lisa.
277
But I'm here.
278
Lisa, you're alive.
279
Yes, but I'm really hungry.
280
Can I have a burger?
281
You can have as many burgers as you like.
282
We all love 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.
