Shadowing Practice: Please, will you get me Harvey? | Suits - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Hey, why don't you go meet your boyfriend, Robert Zane?
2
I think I just left something in security.
3
Oh, look who like -likes someone now.
4
Ma 'am, the last time I let someone up that he wasn't expecting, he's going to have me executed.
5
I'm sure he did, but I'm telling you that...
6
Gretchen obviously forgot to phone down, Carl, because we have a meeting scheduled for right now.
7
That isn't what she just...
8
Carl.
9
A meeting with you?
10
Really?
11
I promise I'm much better looking than whoever you're supposed to meet.
12
You have no idea how right you are.
13
But I could have sworn you were just on your way out.
14
Well, that's not a problem.
15
The mayor can wait.
16
But I'm not sure the governor can.
17
Are you trying to out -name drop me?
18
If I were, I think I just did.
19
But I'll let you in on a little secret.
20
I don't really care about names that much.
21
Well, if you don't care about names, why don't we skip the introductions and just get down to breakfast?
22
What if I already had breakfast?
23
I'm talking about tomorrow morning in my kitchen. Or yours.
24
I mean, you look like you have a nice place.
25
As tempting as that is, maybe another time.
26
Good luck in your meeting.
27
Okay, Esther, what are you doing here?
28
What?
29
A woman can't stop by to see her brother, who she loves?
30
Please.
31
You know damn well we don't love each other.
32
In that case, I need a lawyer.
33
Ha!
34
You? For what?
35
Did you give someone salmonella with your stupid muffins?
36
I'm getting a divorce.
37
Well, good.
38
I knew that guy was dead weight the second I met him.
39
I know.
40
I think that was your speech at our wedding.
41
And your sympathy is touching, but I didn't come here to vindicate you.
42
No, I know you didn't.
43
You came to get me to slaughter Jeffrey for you, and I will.
44
And when I'm done with him, he won't have a pot to shit in.
45
It's pissing.
46
And, Lewis, I don't want you to slaughter Jeffrey.
47
Why the hell not?
48
Because I want Harvey Specter to.
49
Come again?
50
You said he was the best attorney in the city.
51
No, Esther, I told you he was my best friend.
52
Which is exactly what you said about Jeremy Henschel in 10th grade, which really meant you worshipped him from afar.
53
You wrote your diary about him, and you never actually hung out.
54
Okay, you swore you never read my diary.
55
And you swore you didn't spy on me and Jeremy.
56
Oh, please, that was one time.
57
I was on my way to get a glass of milk.
58
And for your information, I've been lactose intolerant ever since.
59
Lewis, are you going to get me Harvey, or do I have to get him myself?
60
Harvey is not taking on any new clients right now, and he's out of town for the next few years.
61
Lewis, I know what you're doing.
62
You think I want Harvey because I don't think you're good enough.
63
You're wrong.
64
I know how good you are.
65
But this is personal for me, which means it will be personal for you, and I can't have that.
66
So please, will you get me, Harvey?
67
I'll make it happen.
68
Thank you, Louis. That was Esther?
69
Yes, I know what you're going to say.
70
We look exactly alike.
71
That actually was...
72
I get it.
73
It's like looking at me in a wig.
74
I've heard it a thousand times.
75
Yeah, the resemblance is uncanny.
76
What?
77
I'm just wondering why you're not getting up to go ask Harvey.
78
Because I'm not going to ask him.
79
I'm going to save some time and tell her he said no. Louis.
80
Donna, we all know that Harvey's furious at me.
81
There's no way he's going to do it.
82
Maybe not. But Louis, she's family.
83
And if there's one thing that Harvey understands, it's that.
84
Go away, Lewis.
85
I would, but then I couldn't tell you about the $50 million company I'm giving you.
86
Why would you do that?
87
Because I want to make up for our little misunderstanding.
88
We didn't have a misunderstanding.
89
You went after my money.
90
So if you're giving me a client, there's some other misunderstanding that you're too chicken shit to tell me about.
91
It's my sister's company.
92
I'll give you her business all you have to do is
93
handle her divorce I don't want your sister's business now get out Harvey this is my family my sister she
94
has never asked me for anything her entire life not once
95
now the one time she does I just can't let her down Louis, I'm not a divorce attorney.
96
When does a shit detail like that ever stopped you before?
97
Alright, I'll do it.
98
On two conditions.
99
First, you stay completely out of this case.
100
Done.
101
Second?
102
I'll let you know when I think of it.
103
How do I know it won't be something I can't stomach?
104
You don't, but those are my two conditions.
105
Okay, Harvey.
106
I have a deal.
107
One thing.
108
Promise me you won't sleep with Esther.
109
Believe me, Lewis, the last thing I want to do is sleep with your sister.
110
You?
111
You've got to be kidding me.
112
You two know each other?
113
So you weren't meeting the governor?
114
You're telling me you were really going to blow off the mayor?
115
The mayor?
116
You don't know the mayor.
117
I'm so sorry.
118
Let me introduce my soon -to -be former associate.
119
Rachel Zane.
120
Esther Edelstein.
121
It's nice to finally meet the man I've heard such good things about.
122
It's nice to meet the woman I've obviously heard nothing but lies about.

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.
