1
What is that?
2
The storm, the lightning, I don't know if you've just done something to us.
3
Something's happened to me too.
4
I turned invisible.
5
Look at me!
6
Time went backwards.
7
What?
8
You turned back time.
9
I've got to have sex with you right now.
10
What is happening to me?
11
Everyone can do something except me.
12
She can't throw me out, she's my mum.
13
You killed her, Rachel Walker.
14
If there's no body, there's no crime.
15
I'm pretty sure this breaches the terms of my ASBO.
16
Someone knows.
17
They know we killed our probation worker.
18
Oh, my God.
19
The people churning, they're compensating, the price is...
20
Woo!
21
They're compensating, this price is heaven, and if you see them...
22
Someone knows we killed him.
23
Do you think it could be Sally?
24
Who's Sally?
25
The probation worker. Who?
26
Sally?
27
Why do you know her name?
28
She told us.
29
You're a twat because Sally didn't show up to the day after we killed the other probation worker.
30
I suppose you know his name too.
31
Tony. Do you love him?
32
He's right.
33
She was an ER.
34
If I'm invisible, I can see if anyone puts anything else in our lockers.
35
Sounds like a plan.
36
You all right with that, yeah?
37
Works for me.
38
Go on, then.
39
Turn invisible.
40
I can't do it when everyone's watching me.
41
So I guess it's like pissing out of your rhino if you've got a tiny cock.
42
Wow, that's, uh, really impressive.
43
Hey, you lot. Did you see it?
44
OK, so all these clothes have been donated by members of the public
45
and we need to sort them before we ship them out to Africa.
46
Just another day in paradise?
47
Yeah, well, I'm sure the people receiving will be really grateful for all your hard work.
48
Yeah, well, they should be.
49
They're getting a new wardrobe.
50
You were so wrong.
51
Right, these are the categories that need to be sorted into.
52
It's children's clothes, shoes, coats, that kind of thing.
53
OK, so if you've got any questions, just ask.
54
If a bear and a shark had a fight, who would win?
55
If you've got any relevant questions, just ask.
56
Oh, and if it's on dry land, I'll bet on the bear.
57
Yeah, I had an attitude.
58
I had an attitude.
59
We're out of tune now.
60
We're out of tune now.
61
Oh, yeah.
62
Oh, God.
63
Oh, God.
64
Oh, God.
65
I'll go to the next one.
66
Fuck off.
67
Ski wear.
68
Classic.
69
Try walking 10 miles to the well in these.
70
Hey, hey, hey.
71
Who am I?
72
I'm mad at me!
73
HE SINGS HE SINGS HE SINGS Come on!
74
OK.
75
All right, right, I'll give you a clue.
76
I'm an annoying cunt.
77
Yeah, we know that.
78
I'm Bono!
79
Who's that?
80
This girl I'd fight with.
81
I've got to do some restorative justice bollocks with her.
82
Hey, hey, Barnhill, yeah?
83
What?
84
I don't know why I bother.
85
Jodie's here.
86
Come on.
87
Suits you.
88
So, have you anything you'd like to say to Kelly?
89
I've got nothing to say to her.
90
Kelly, would you like to tell Jodie why you hit her?
91
Yeah, because if you're going around saying someone's a slag, you're going to get a slap.
92
Is there something off your teeth?
93
OK, how are you two going to resolve this?
94
Ooh!
95
Take the roller skates off!
96
And the goggles.
97
Take them off!
98
This is bullshit.
99
We're never going to be mates.
100
I heard you and Darren broke up.
101
Yeah.
102
I heard he dumped you.
103
What's that about?
104
What is it to you?
105
OK, let's keep things friendly.
106
I think you're better off about him anyway.
107
He's a rat -faced hallucinophile.
108
Kelly.
109
Are you saying he's got a rat face?
110
Yeah, he's proper ratty.
111
Don't even be talking about him!
112
Well, what do you care anyway?
113
Could he dump you?
114
Fucking...
115
Kelly!
116
You see that, you bitch!
117
You sick of you.
118
Somebody's been in life!
119
She's the hell of me!
120
Just get out!
121
You sloth -ho!
122
Calm down!
123
Chumou -me -toi!
124
Kelly!
125
I was trying to be nice!
126
Yeah, I had an attitude.
127
I think it went pretty well.
128
How come you never talk about what happened when you got arrested?
129
Nothing to talk about.
130
See, that just makes me more curious.
131
Come on, give it up.
132
I was buying some coke.
133
Me and this girl I was seeing.
134
Sam.
135
Police caught us. That sucks.
136
I had one rap on me.
137
She had the rest of it.
138
She was done for intensive supply.
139
What happened?
140
She went to prison.
141
Six months.
142
Shit.
143
Are you still with her?
144
Everything was happening.
145
It was too messy.
146
So.. you're not with anyone?
147
No. What?
148
What?
149
You know what?
150
I know you want to.
151
All I have to do is touch you.
152
Don't.
153
I could have you.
154
Anytime I want.
155
Quit doing that, then.
156
Leave it.
157
Stop being such a dick.
158
That's so beautiful.
159
That's so beautiful. That is great.
160
That's it.
161
What's happening?
162
What happened?
163
Long time I've been dreaming about feeling your tenderness
164
Oh, I know I'm thinking of you I just wanna be with you I know you do
165
Oh my god. That is wrong.
166
Don't freak out.
167
You can't be doing that to people.
168
Trust me, you enjoyed it.
169
That wasn't me.
170
You were so up for it.
171
You kept telling me how much you wanted to be with me.
172
I want to tell you something.
173
I'll tell you myself.
174
You don't know what I'm feeling.
175
Yeah, well, that's the only thing you look at me.
176
Yeah?
177
I won't be looking at you anymore.
178
Yes, you will!
179
You think because you're beautiful, you can treat people any way you want?
180
Yeah, that's pretty much how it works.
181
Haven't you figured that out yet?
182
You're so messed up.
183
You don't even know it.
184
You all right?
185
Fine.
186
If you need someone to talk to, I'm a really good listener.
187
Prisoners of justice!
188
I was only saying that the lad that she's twat with was a dick.
189
He was only being nice.
190
Oh, yeah, you were being lovely.
191
Right up until you threw the chair at her.
192
Don't be doing that shit around me!
193
You've been in all day?
194
Yeah.
195
What happened?
196
Nothing.
197
No one came in.
198
That's an anti -climax.
199
Right, well, I don't see this coming.
200
It's just a, uh, I don't usually do this kind of thing.
201
I mean, I'm not saying you do.
202
I don't remember us having sex.
203
We had sex, right? Can you just go?
204
Yeah.
205
I'm sorry.
206
I'm sorry.
207
I'm sorry.
208
What the fuck?
209
Mum!
210
Mum!
211
Mum!
212
Excuse me.
213
Hey.
214
Don't talk to me.
215
Hi.
216
Hi.
217
Nice shirt.
218
That colour really suits you.
219
Blue.
220
You OK?
221
I'm sorry.
222
We've got a problem.
223
Will you shut up?
224
I nearly had it.
225
What's he doing?
226
He's trying to smash the bottle with his mind.
227
I think he's gonna shit himself.
228
Oh, bullshit!
229
We've got a problem.
230
I've got a power, I know it.
231
I can feel it in my balls.
232
Listen to me.
233
It's like a soft vibrating.
234
You get that, yeah?
235
No. They're gonna dig up the bodies.
236
They're building an environmental monitoring station under the flyover.
237
They're building a what?
238
That sounds made up.
239
Are we supposed to know what that is?
240
It's to measure the carbon monoxide from the flyover.
241
When they dig the foundations, they'll find the bodies.
242
We need to move them.
243
Oh, couple of questions.
244
How? Where?
245
Are you out of your mind?
246
If we leave them now, they'll find them.
247
Or whereas digging them up and wandering around with them, that's a real low -risk strategy.
248
Oh, you've got a better idea.
249
Let's hear it.
250
Yeah, I do have a better idea.
251
Why don't you...
252
WHISTLE BLOWS and stop us killing the probation worker in the first place?
253
Show me how it works and I'll do it.
254
We need a car.
255
Have you got a car?
256
No. Great, maybe we should call a camp.
257
Better make it a seven -seater. Where do you think?
258
Let's go to doctors.
259
Yeah?
260
While you were getting your smear test, big shock.
261
We found out the bodies are about to be dug up.
262
They're building an environmental monitoring station under the flyover.
263
Sounds like bullshit, right?
264
Can you steal a car?
265
Can you get a car?
266
You'll fuck off.
267
All right, touchy.
268
Come on, look.
269
We're a bunch of young offenders and not one of us knows how to steal a car.
270
That is pathetic.
271
Look, I'll borrow my dad's car.
272
Because you're banned from driving, so that makes sense, right?
273
You're like a whiny little bitch.
274
Guys, guys, guys, come on.
275
We need to work together.
276
Think of it as a team -building exercise, huh?
277
I'm feeling this.
278
Are we feeling this?
279
Oh, prick.
280
So what do we do with him when we dig him up?
281
We weigh him down and toss him in the lake.
282
We do that.
283
You know what happens next week?
284
The council are all like, let's drag the lake.
285
It's so predictable.
286
Yeah, so we bury him somewhere else.
287
Oh, but enough with the dig in and the bury in already.
288
You come up with something then.
289
We boil them in a bath of sulphuric acid.
290
Cereal killer style.
291
We can store them at the community centre till we decide what to do with them.
292
Oh, boy.
293
The community centre cos they have a special room for storing rotten corpses.
294
There's a disused storeroom upstairs.
295
I've got a key.
296
Why have you got a key?
297
I nicked them because I'm living in the community centre, OK?
298
Happy?
299
Big secret revealed.
300
Yeah.
301
This is a sweet ride.
302
Oh, man!
303
It stinks!
304
You must be getting close.
305
I'm fine.
306
I'm fine.
307
I've got something.
308
Oh!
309
Oh!
310
Oops!
311
Oh, man.
312
You alright?
313
What?
314
You're usually a whole lot gobier than this.
315
No, I'm not.
316
Come on, you haven't punched me in at least a few hours.
317
I'm worried about you.
318
I'm fine.
319
How cool do you live in the community centre anyway?
320
Do we have to be that intimate with each other's lives?
321
No, I don't think so.
322
Not so big on the sharing.
323
I'm not getting a shag now, I'm a homeless.
324
Those big issue guys aren't getting any.
325
Oh, shit, she can hear that.
326
What are you going to learn?
327
What's that?
328
Let's go.
329
Uh, hello?
330
Don't you think you're forgetting something?
331
Jesus.
332
Sorry.
333
Oh, for fuck's sake. For fuck's sake.
334
I like your cap.
335
No!
336
Oh!
337
What?
338
Did you know she was bald?
339
Course not, twat.
340
Jesus.
341
She looked like an alien.
342
Ah, don't be mean.
343
She did, didn't she?
344
A bald alien.
345
I should probably try and find her.
346
You know.
347
Can't you see we're trying to have an awkward conversation?
348
Move.
349
Go!
350
Oh!
351
The sex wasn't that bad, was it?
352
You don't get it, do you?
353
There's nothing wrong with me!
354
You're the one with the problem!
355
Kelly?
356
Kelly?
357
Oh.
358
Sorry, mate.
359
Kelly?
360
Go away!
361
Are you alright?
362
No, I'm not alright, you prick!
363
I'm bald!
364
I've got your cap and your wig.
365
I don't want you to see me like this.
366
Alright, okay, listen, I'll close my eyes.
367
I'm gonna throw them down, okay?
368
Keep them short.
369
Don't look.
370
So I thought that whole moving the bodies thing was.. went pretty well.
371
You know, considering.
372
If you laugh at me, I will keep this shit out of you.
373
I'm not gonna laugh.
374
Who's laughing?
375
Well, don't.
376
So, what's with the baldness?
377
This morning, I was in the shower.
378
My hair started falling out.
379
What did the doctor say?
380
They don't know.
381
They're gonna have to send me for some tasks.
382
So what are we talking about here?
383
Are we talking about upstairs and down?
384
What?
385
You know.
386
Do you have a bald fanny?
387
Ow!
388
Stop!
389
Ow!
390
Shit, I'm sorry.
391
I'm serious.
392
Sorry.
393
Do you want me to walk you home?
394
Alright.
395
Thank you.
396
Jodie!
397
Jodie!
398
Open the door, you bitch!
399
I know you did it to me.
400
Open the door!
401
Jodie!
402
It was the Rex boyfriend and he's bald.
403
It's Jundie.
404
She's got this power or something.
405
Oh, that bitch did this to me.
406
She has the power to turn people bald.
407
That is rubbish.
408
Bald, bald, bald.
409
When I catch her, I'm going to butter her.
410
I'm going to rip her tits off.
411
We should bury the bodies under the foundations of the environmental monitoring station before they pour in the concrete.
412
So your plan is we dig up the bodies and then we rebury them in exactly the same place?
413
You're a genius! That works.
414
Yeah, it's the small.
415
It's OK.
416
OK, guys, if you want to grab a box, follow me.
417
Guys, do you want to grab a box?
418
There, everyone.
419
Everybody, if you can.
420
Yes, thank you.
421
OK, this way.
422
Can you get your dad's car again?
423
So you're talking to me now you want something?
424
Let's just get this done, alright?
425
Ask me nicely and I'll think about it.
426
I ain't begging you.
427
You're not all that, you know.
428
You're not even famous anymore.
429
You should be grateful.
430
Grateful?
431
I didn't want you near me.
432
Yeah?
433
What are you up to now?
434
I was just going home.
435
Do you want to go out to the park?
436
Er.. yeah.
437
Yeah, sure.
438
Where's she going?
439
Yeah.
440
Is she hooking up with him?
441
Oh, that is definitely on.
442
How do we move the bodies without her dad's car?
443
You need to get that tart on the phone and tell her we need her dad's car to ship the steps.
444
Erm, where you going?
445
We need to remove the bodies.
446
You deal with it.
447
We could take Sally's car.
448
Who's Sally?
449
Pete?
450
Yeah, what is it?
451
What's happened?
452
Just tell me now.
453
Okay, give me half an hour, okay?
454
Bye.
455
I'm sorry, you're bald.
456
Thanks.
457
Do you want to give us a hand?
458
I'm the designated driver.
459
Help us, you trach. Which one's this?
460
The probation worker.
461
He's a fat bastard.
462
Oh, shit!
463
Oh, shit!
464
Keep down!
465
Keep down!
466
You're the one with all the big ideas.
467
What do we do?
468
Go out the keys.
469
Shit!
470
It's all right about you.
471
It's my last day at the community centre tomorrow.
472
Ship all the clothes out to Africa.
473
And I was there last year.
474
Should see the conditions these people live in.
475
Clean water, barely any food.
476
Makes you think, doesn't it?
477
What?
478
It makes you realise how lucky you are.
479
Shut up!
480
Where are you going?
481
I want to shag you!
482
No!
483
No, please!
484
No, please!
485
You're so cute!
486
Please, no!
487
No, please!
488
Leave her alone!
489
No, please!
490
No!
491
Get off the ground!
492
Oh!
493
Oh, no, no!
494
Yeah, me too!
495
Me first!
496
Wait, let me get...
497
Let me get something!
498
Come on!
499
Where you going?
500
Oh, my God!
501
Lisa!
502
Lisa!
503
No way!
504
Someone left the keys in the ignition, but there's no point naming names at this stage.
505
It's done now.
506
So the probation worker is driving around with the stiffs in the boot of her car.
507
Just thought you'd want to know.
508
Anyway, Hey.
509
Call me.
510
I left a message.
511
I guess that's it.
512
We're going to prison.
513
Yeah, my career teacher said that's where I'd end up.
514
She'd be giving it all this.
515
Yeah, well, you'll do all right in prison.
516
You've got the whole bald thing.
517
You're well butch.
518
Oh!
519
Ow!
520
Ow!
521
You know you hit me a lot.
522
Yeah, cos you're a dick.
523
Maybe Sally won't look in the boot.
524
Oh, fingers crossed, eh?
525
I'm sorry.
526
I'm sorry.
527
I'm sorry.
528
I'm sorry.
529
I'm sorry.
530
I'm sorry.
531
I'm sorry.
532
I'm sorry.
533
It's me.
534
I'm gonna stay over here.
535
All right?
536
It used to be a good thing, you know?
537
People wanting to have sex with you, it was nice.
538
No, it's shit.
539
I don't know if someone actually wants to sleep with me or if it's just this bullshit.
540
Guys still want to have sex with 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.
