1
This is gonna be my Christmas card.
2
What the hell?
3
What are you doing here?
4
I'm saving you.
5
You think I got that kind of cash lying around?
6
He doesn't.
7
That's why I'm saving you.
8
Well, damn.
9
Georgie, come on.
10
I have more minutes.
11
Now!
12
Okay, okay.
13
Fine's paid.
14
Let's go.
15
I'm really sorry about this, Dad.
16
We'll talk about it in the car.
17
Hey, it's just you and me.
18
Great.
19
Yeah, it is.
20
Because I'm saving you.
21
...love out into the world.
22
Thank you for bringing us here today to join together in worship.
23
Excuse me.
24
Am I the only one struck by the incredible hypocrisy of this sermon?
25
You go on and on about loving one another and how God is love, but not when it comes to my mother and our family? And why?
26
Because my brother impregnated a woman 11 years older than him?
27
Which one could argue was an act of love?
28
Shilton?
29
At least on his part.
30
She doesn't seem to care for him.
31
Also, earlier you said Nebuchadnezzar.
32
In Hebrew, we pronounce Nebuchadnezzar.
33
More in the back of the throat.
34
Ha, ha.
35
Shilton?
36
Bye.
37
Or in Hebrew, shalom, which also means hello and peace.
38
Ha, ha.
39
I sure do miss working with you.
40
Well, we can still be friends, even if we don't work together.
41
I'd like that.
42
You find a kitty ball yet?
43
It's not about the weight.
44
Just have small fingers.
45
Oh, uh, Mary, this is Shannon.
46
Shannon, this is Mary Cooper.
47
Hi.
48
Who used to be Mary Tucker?
49
Not in a long time.
50
You remember me?
51
Sorry, no. Shannon Dixon.
52
You used to babysit me. Is that so? So great.
53
She would let me stay up late and watch TV while she would make out with her boyfriend.
54
I don't remember any of that.
55
Oh, I'm not surprised.
56
You used to hit my dad's liquor cabinet pretty hard.
57
Well, Mary Cooper.
58
I was young and had family lured you two.
59
I started working on this presentation to address specific ethical dilemmas.
60
The laws of robotics, whether torture can be justified, and cloning people for fun and spare parts.
61
But I realized before resolving any of these moral quandries, the real decision is who gets to decide?
62
Do we put it up for a vote?
63
Does everyone get to decide for themselves?
64
Should it be by committee?
65
Is that committee elected or appointed?
66
You see where I'm going?
67
You probably don't.
68
For the smartest decision, we need the smartest person.
69
Ladies and gentlemen, in the field of scientific ethics, we can't rely on democracy or plutocracy.
70
We need an autocracy, or to be more precise, a shell-docracy.
71
Um, I don't think this was the assignment.
72
Sorry, Dr. Sturgis.
73
I picked the assignments now.
74
Everybody, for next class, I want 500 words of what you can do to further the Sheldocracy.
75
Punishment for typos will be severe.
76
Class dismissed.
77
Hey, that's my line.
78
No, it isn't.
79
Why don't you see the afterclasses?
80
Class dismissed.
81
Let me see.
82
It's bad.
83
Just stay calm.
84
I'm sure it's fine.
85
It's the end of my life.
86
Just show me.
87
Oh my.
88
That is something.
89
I could probably be homeschooled, right?
90
It's okay, we can fix this.
91
Before my parents get home, they're gonna kill me.
92
Oh man, look at your head!
93
Shut up!
94
Georgie, don't make this worse.
95
There's worse?
96
Anyone home?
97
Okay, stay here.
98
We'll stall him.
99
Can you see her head?
100
Oh!
101
Hey.
102
What's up?
103
Nothing.
104
Nada.
105
Absolutely nothing.
106
Where are the kids?
107
Well, I believe Sheldon's at Billy's.
108
Oh, good.
109
He's helping him. And Missy?
110
Missy.
111
That's a good question.
112
I haven't seen her.
113
I have not seen her personally myself.
114
Okay.
115
We're a good team, me and you.
116
Oh, not now, Georgie.
117
I was sitting there.
118
Yeah, well, now you're not.
119
I'm being nothing but nice here.
120
I don't know why you gotta give me a hard time.
121
Why?
122
I'll tell you why.
123
You ruined my life.
124
Is that enough why for you?
125
Hey, you weren't so innocent.
126
If I recall, you provided alcohol to a minor.
127
Me.
128
That's illegal.
129
You lied about your age.
130
You lied first.
131
Okay, you know what?
132
Let's not do this in front of your sister.
133
It actually feels normal.
134
Keep going.
135
And let's not forget, I only lied because you're hot.
136
Oh my god!
137
We don't need to watch a movie about a talking baby.
138
You're right here!
139
Ooh, lock the door.
140
Lock the door.
141
No one's home.
142
Just in case.
143
I have a wild and crazy idea.
144
Like where this is headed.
145
Let's make a baby!
146
You're kidding, right?
147
I don't know.
148
It might be fun to start over.
149
Let's take a walk.
150
Try to keep an open mind.
151
Oh my god.
152
See?
153
Not drugs.
154
And that is the sound of a 22% house advantage. Is it legal?
155
No. Kinda.
156
Kind of.
157
So the police are in on it?
158
A little bit, yeah.
159
Silent partner, as they said.
160
I know it's a lot.
161
It's amazing.
162
It is?
163
My kid's going to private school.
164
You're going to private school?
165
Look, I know you're not happy about it, but you're gonna have a grandkid.
166
And cutting Mandy out ain't gonna change that.
167
He's not wrong.
168
Well, he's not right either.
169
You know, it doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.
170
My mom got pregnant with me before she and my dad got married.
171
So you're gonna marry my daughter?
172
Well, if she'd stop saying no. Well, that's something.
173
Jim?
174
Why won't you marry you?
175
What's wrong with you?
176
Hmm, tough to say.
177
Maybe I'm too ambitious and put work first sometimes.
178
You know what?
179
I do the same thing.
180
I do?
181
Well, it was lovely to see you both.
182
Maybe someday you can tell me more about the tire business.
183
I bet it's fascinating.
184
Oh, well I'd like that.
185
You know, my son takes no interest in it.
186
His loss.
187
Goodbye, Mr. Cooper.
188
Goodbye, ma'am.
189
Steel-belted radials.
190
Who came up with that?
191
Oh, it was Michelin.
192
Oh, yeah.
193
There you go.
194
He asked.
195
Thank you for saying no to sin.
196
You've got to be kidding me.
197
What are you doing?
198
We're just asking people to sign our petition if they agree that sin has no place in cinema.
199
Clever.
200
Thanks.
201
And God doesn't want us seeing people's private parts.
202
Didn't he make people's private parts?
203
He did.
204
And then he made clothes to cover them right up.
205
You are scaring away my customers.
206
You know what's scarier?
207
Hell.
208
Look, you can't just sit here in front of my store.
209
Freedom of speech.
210
We're allowed.
211
And we're allowed to rent whatever movies we want.
212
People can choose for themselves.
213
They sure can.
214
If you love God and hate the devil, sign here.
215
Where is your halo?
216
Because you are an angel.
217
Let's just see what the people think about this.
218
Yeah.
219
Thank you so much for bringing this opportunity to me.
220
This is exciting.
221
So will you give us the funding?
222
Well, that's a lot of money, but my horoscope did say take a chance today.
223
You're making a big financial decision based on astrology?
224
I know.
225
I'm such a Gemini, right?
226
That's ridiculous.
227
The alignment of the planets and stars has no correlation to your success or failure.
228
Oh, this is great.
229
I mean science thrives on this kind of debate.
230
This isn't a debate.
231
Rebuttal, yes it is.
232
There we go again.
233
Hey, Dean, want to help me roll out the dough?
234
Yeah, one second.
235
I'm just helping Grandma grease the pan. Who?
236
Oh, uh, sorry.
237
You just remind me of my Grandma.
238
I'll tell you what, why don't you help Missy and I'm gonna start the dishes.
239
Oh, uh, while the cookies are baking, maybe you could teach me how to play gin rummy.
240
All right.
241
We're done here.
242
What?
243
You heard me?
244
Are you breaking up with me?
245
Yeah, you can go now.
246
But my mom's not picking me up till 7.
247
I'll get the cards.
248
You okay?
249
Mm-hmm.
250
Are you mad at me?
251
Why would I be mad at you?
252
Is this about that girl?
253
Why do you want me to date someone else so bad?
254
I didn't say I wanted you to.
255
I knew I said it was okay.
256
Well, it seems like you want me to.
257
I just want you to live your life.
258
Then why'd you sleep with me again?
259
It was one time.
260
It was more than one time.
261
It was one night, and it was a mistake.
262
Oh, really?
263
Then maybe I should go out with that girl.
264
Maybe you should.
265
Fine, then maybe you should go out with someone too.
266
Right, because there's nothing men want more than a girl with a baby pushing against her bladder.
267
You want me to pull over at that Wendy's?
268
The restroom's pretty nice.
269
Yes, I do.
270
Excuse me, are you Mrs. McAllister?
271
I am.
272
Can I help you?
273
I'm Mary Cooper, Georgie's mom.
274
Oh.
275
Hello.
276
I don't know what's going on between you and your daughter, but you need to get over it.
277
She is scared, she is pregnant, and she needs her mother.
278
I'm getting parenting advice from a woman whose 17-year-old son got my daughter pregnant.
279
Yes, you are.
280
Georgie made a mistake.
281
But I did not cut him out of my life.
282
You don't know.
283
I don't care.
284
You are her parent.
285
Act like it.
286
So grow up, call your daughter, and make it right.
287
Now.
288
Well, I need...
289
I said now.
290
I was going to say, I need the phone number.
291
OK.
292
Do you have a pen?
293
What's this?
294
We set up a nursery in the guest room.
295
You can move back in.
296
Can we not talk about this now?
297
What's the problem?
298
You're going to need help.
299
Who do you think's been helping her this whole time?
300
And I appreciate it, but you're not her family.
301
We're that baby's family.
302
Georgie's right across the street.
303
Oh, yes.
304
I'm sure a teenaged boy is gonna be a lot of help.
305
You don't know what you're talking about.
306
Georgie has been there for me the whole time, and you come in at the last minute with a store-bought castle cake, and you think that's gonna make up for everything?
307
Okay.
308
I can see you're a little emotional.
309
Yeah, I am a little emotional right now and you being here isn't helping.
310
You do not get to badmouth Georgie.
311
He's gonna be a better parent than you ever were.
312
Damn.
313
Now if someone would help me up, I would like to storm out.
314
Thank you. So who wants cake?
315
Tell you what my daughter's never gonna put me through this.
316
Oh really?
317
How do you figure?
318
I'm gonna run a tight ship.
319
Set some rules, some boundaries, and if she breaks them, then she faces the...
320
What do you call it?
321
Repercussions.
322
Why are you smiling?
323
I just can't wait till you're a dad.
324
Thank you.
325
Repercussions.
326
It's a word.
327
Pick it up.
328
Hurry!
329
This is as fast as I can go in sensible shoes.
330
You okay?
331
No. Oh, dear.
332
What?
333
I'm going to have some mother of ball blisters.
334
I'm worried about you.
335
Thank you.
336
Don't be.
337
I'm having fun.
338
You're drunk and you're about to get in the car with some stranger. So?
339
He was cute.
340
What's wrong with you?
341
You're smarter than Sheldon.
342
Why don't you act like it?
343
Um...
344
I am.
345
If that was true, then how come my pizza's still in my stomach and yours is in the fountain?
346
What good is being smart if you're all alone?
347
Let's go to Sheldon's lawn and get you cleaned up.
348
Thanks.
349
Just so you know, you're not alone.
350
You've got me.
351
I thought we were trying to make her feel better.
352
Connie?
353
What are you doing here?
354
I'm having a baby.
355
Oh, it's happening?
356
Kind of.
357
Why are you here?
358
I had a medical thing.
359
It's been handled.
360
Here, let me help you to your room.
361
What kind of thing?
362
a thing.
363
It's been tended to.
364
How far part are your contractions?
365
Connie, what's going on?
366
It's hemorrhoids, okay?
367
It's embarrassing, but here we are.
368
Hemorrhoids, hemorrhoids, hemorrhoids!
369
Happy?
370
Well, I'm about four centimeters dilated, and the doctors think it could be another few hours.
371
Oh.
372
Good.
373
Walk slow.
374
Oh, okay.
375
Hello, Nibblingo, little nibbling.
376
What is it, Sheldon?
377
I was hoping I could try to calm your baby down.
378
Why?
379
I'm trying new things to build up a tolerance for setbacks and frustration.
380
So you want to use my child for some kind of experiment?
381
Yes.
382
Okay, here you go.
383
Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.
384
Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr.
385
Are you freaking kidding me?
386
I'm not happy about it either.
387
No, no, no, no, no, no. Socks, kitty, kitty, kitty.
388
Sheldon, come back!
389
All right, your parents are on the way.
390
Are they mad?
391
If my daughter stole my car and ran away, I'd be mad.
392
What if she had a good reason?
393
Do you have a good reason?
394
Well, my brother's really smart, and my older brother had a baby, and they were ignoring me.
395
You might need a better reason.
396
Are you taking us to jail?
397
No. Great.
398
So you can go?
399
No. But I'm not taking you in, either.
400
Why not?
401
I got a kid your age.
402
I get it.
403
God, I'd rather sit in jail and have another adult tell me how much they get it.
404
Not me.
405
I'd be right here.
406
Maybe what Missy needs is for us all to be a little understanding.
407
I'm trying to understand.
408
That's why I need a brain scan.
409
Look, your sister's going through a lot these days.
410
She's feeling overlooked, confused, angry, sad.
411
She's feeling all those things at once?
412
Yeah.
413
And I can't scan her brain.
414
That is so unfair.
415
We have nothing to talk about.
416
Fine.
417
Then let's just yell at each other.
418
I'm not yelling at you.
419
Mary, we're neighbors.
420
Our kids, our friends, we're gonna beat each other's lives for a long time.
421
Let's do this.
422
I am busy.
423
I am making a cake.
424
And I'm talking to a pain in the ass who won't admit she's mad.
425
I'm not mad.
426
Really?
427
How about now?
428
Backyard.
429
Do you even think about how your actions affect other people?
430
Love it.
431
Keep it coming.
432
You couldn't hang on to your crappy husband, so you tried to move in on my crappy husband.
433
Good, good.
434
That hurt, but good.
435
Okay, it's a date. Who was that?
436
Brittany Perkins.
437
Is she that, uh, chunky one with the headgear?
438
No. She's a cheerleader, and her teeth are beautiful.
439
Oh.
440
And she asked you out.
441
What do you know about Brittany Perkins?
442
That's her right there.
443
Oh.
444
She's cute.
445
And this was before her boobs came in.
446
So she's just messing with Billy.
447
She might have asked him out.
448
Okay, she's messing with him.
449
You friends with this girl?
450
I wish.
451
She's so popular.
452
One time she said she liked my outfit.
453
I wore it for a week.
454
What am I going to do?
455
You could tell Billy he's too young to date.
456
That's good.
457
You might be the coolest person in this house.
458
Little bar, but thanks.
459
All right, let's take a look at our forecast for tonight.
460
Winds from the west are headed our way, taking temperatures down to a cool 43 degrees.
461
But you know what they say in Texas?
462
If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.
463
Actually, I've never said that.
464
But my Aunt Bonnie does.
465
She's not wrong, though, because those chilly days are gonna pass us by, and by the weekend, we're looking at sunny and 72.
466
Mandy was proving that new mothers could do anything anyone else could do.
467
In fact, they could do more, like make their own milk, right there on camera.
468
Everything okay?
469
Not if you live on the coast, because there is a storm front building.
470
So we need to keep an eye on these clouds right here.
471
Uh, but there's a low pressure system building, um, over here.
472
And, uh, well then that could bring rain to, uh, to this whole area here.
473
So for Channel 7 Weather, I'm Mandy McAllister.
474
Good night.
475
How's he doing?
476
He's having a little trouble letting go of things.
477
Uh, uh, look, don't touch.
478
Morning, Mary.
479
Pastor Jeff.
480
This is my niece, Tanya.
481
She's staying with us.
482
Hey, Missy.
483
Tanya.
484
Oh, you've met.
485
Boy, howdy, have they met.
486
That's what I need to talk to you about.
487
I'm gonna go help Sheldon.
488
Why don't you stay?
489
What's going on?
490
Missy rented Tanya an R-rated movie and tried to hide it in a Disney box.
491
Oh, that's what this is about?
492
What else would it be about?
493
Missy?
494
It must have been an accident.
495
I thought I gave her Bambi.
496
I did ask for Bambi.
497
Sometimes people return things in the wrong box.
498
It's my fault for not checking.
499
I'm really sorry.
500
Well, don't let it happen again.
501
All right, let's get married.
502
What?
503
You think I'm not all in, but I am.
504
Okay.
505
Mine too.
506
Okay.
507
So we're really doing this?
508
Yeah.
509
What are you doing?
510
I ain't waiting to get home to kiss you.
511

What You'll Practice in This Lesson
This lesson uses a lively dialogue from a popular show to help you improve conversational English, focusing on IELTS speaking practice and real-world communication. You'll work on understanding casual speech, natural intonation, and quick responses—skills critical for exams and daily interactions. The video's mix of family arguments, friendly chats, and even a church debate offers diverse scenarios to practice with.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Master
- Hypocrisy: The act of pretending to have virtues or beliefs one doesn't actually have (e.g., "the incredible hypocrisy of this sermon").
- Impregnated: To make a woman pregnant (used here in a casual, dramatic context).
- Struck by: To be suddenly aware of or affected by something (e.g., "Am I the only one struck by...").
- Shalom: A Hebrew word meaning "hello," "goodbye," or "peace" (useful for cultural references).
- Save you: In this context, to help someone avoid trouble (e.g., "I'm saving you from a fine").
Practice Tips for Shadowing Success
The shadowing technique (or "shadowspeaks") works best here because the video's dialogue is fast-paced and emotional—just like real life. Start by watching the video once to grasp the context. Then, play short clips (5-10 seconds) and repeat them immediately, mimicking the tone, speed, and stress. Pay attention to how characters like Sheldon emphasize words like "hypocrisy" or "shalom" to convey attitude. For shadow speak practice, focus on the quick exchanges (e.g., "What the hell? What are you doing here?") to build fluency in responding under pressure. This mimics IELTS speaking tasks where you need to think and speak quickly. Finally, record yourself and compare it to the video—note where your intonation or speed differs, and adjust. Over time, this will make your speech sound more natural and confident.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verb — a past habit or state that is no longer true | used to be · used to babysit · used to hit |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | haven't seen · have not seen · has been |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | can be justified · be homeschooled · is headed |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — an action in progress at a moment in the past | was sitting · were trying · was hoping |
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.
