Tell my dad to deposit more cash in my account.

I'm about to board, and it's under eight figures.

Miss, you may want to take a look at the car over there.

Chase!

Are you serious?

Right before our trip?

Gina, what are you doing here?

I thought you parked at the VIP entrance.

I came here early to surprise you so that we could be together before the trip.

But it looks like the surprise is on me.

Gina, look, I'm sorry.

I was going to break up with you after Bora Bora, but I've never been there before, and I just wanted the Instagram pics.

Come on!

I said I'm sorry.

Look, it's just my friend swore I couldn't get with you because you're so rich.

But hey, I proved them wrong, didn't I?

You know, I was thinking, maybe I could use that money for me and...

Would you like to take a trip with me to Bora Bora?

Yeah.

You cannot be serious.

Chase!

You were so sweet to take the train all the way here with me.

I'm just gonna miss you so much.

It's gonna be sad spending the summer without you but this program's your dream.

You've paid your big goodbye hug for me.

I hate that I'm going to miss her big moment.

She'll be here when you get back.

Now, go.

Before you're late. Be safe.

I love you.

Love you.

Um, are you okay?

I am.

I...

Sorry, I'm going to be late to my train to Springfield.

Springfield?

That's where I'm going.

Do you need a ride?

I can really use someone to talk to.

I'm such a fool.

I should have listened to the signs, you know?

Like last week, he got me panties.

That sounds nice.

I'm allergic to peonies.

I got hives for like two whole weeks.

I'm sorry.

Chase only wanted me when he couldn't have me.

Once we were in a relationship, it was like I didn't even matter to him anymore.

No wonder his name is Chase.

He's always chasing something what he can't have.

That's it.

I have the perfect plan.

You sent your girlfriends out of town for summer, right?

Uh, yeah.

Can you please, please pretend to be my boyfriend so that it'll make him jealous and they don't want me back?

I'm sorry, Gina.

I can't.

It's wrong.

Come on, please.

I'll pay you.

Enough to buy your own car so that you don't have to take the train or the bus.

It's still wrong.

And besides, you should never have to force what's truly meant to be.

What do you mean?

you see how easily these pieces fit together well you can try to force them together

but they'll never really fit like I said you should never have to force anything that's meant to be

But if you break it, then it fits.

You could, but when you put the puzzle together, the picture at the end isn't as beautiful, right?

Let what's meant to be be.

I've got to go check on my sister.

It was nice to meet you.

How'd it go at the hospital today?

Come in.

Hey, Paige Do you want to talk about today?

Insurance when I pay for my new wheelchair After all these years I thought was finally happening

He broke my heart And now he's posting pictures with a girl on our trip How could he?

I'm so sorry, Gina Oh my god.

Peter, read it the plan!

what plan and who's beat um sorry francesca i gotta go hey uh pete okay so here's the deal

you have to dress in all designer clothes

that i pick out for you don't worry i'll pay for it that'll make chase

so jealous when he sees oh

and in public you have to treat me like i'm actually your girlfriend

but no kissing fine we can agree to hold hands hugging and

putting your arm around me you can't tag me in any

of the posts i can't have my girlfriend seen ugh you're so boring

you have to go to parties with me

and meet my friends why i thought this was all just to get back and chase.

It is.

I just want this to be believable, which is why we have to go on dates.

But we have to stop this whole thing when my girlfriend gets back.

This is just a business transaction.

Right.

A business transaction.

That's all this is.

You're right.

Thank you.

100

I can't believe you're going to a public school just to try to get with some guy.

101

I know, but once he sees all the effort I've put in, of course he'll want to be with me.

102

Or you'll give him total stalker vibes.

103

What?

104

Have you forgotten about his girlfriend?

105

Oh, I gotta go.

106

I'm so happy we're together again.

107

Me too.

108

112

This is my girlfriend, Stella.

113

It's so nice to meet you, Gina.

114

I've heard so many great things.

115

Pete has told you about me?

116

He said you were the one who helped Paige get her new wheelchair out of the kindness of your heart.

117

How sweet.

118

Out of the kindness of my heart.

119

Pete, do you think you could show me around?

120

I don't know where my first class is.

121

Room 143?

122

Uh, I was gonna walk Stella to class, actually.

123

Oh, I'm sure she can find her own way.

124

I didn't know you went here.

125

Can I ask you a personal question?

126

What exactly do you like about Stella?

127

A lot of things.

128

I mean, she's pretty.

129

She's smart.

130

Loyal.

131

She's nice to my sister.

132

Oh, and I like the way she dresses.

133

Hey, guys.

134

Look.

135

Pete, I was thinking we'd audition together.

136

I'm going for Juliet, and you would be the perfect Romeo.

137

Uh, wow.

138

That's crazy.

139

Uh, I was gonna audition for this, too.

140

I've always wanted to play Juliet.

141

Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition, right?

142

oh Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo deny thy father

143

and refuse thy name or if thou wilt not be but sworn my love and I'll no longer be a Capulet

144

Oh, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?

145

Deny thy father and refuse thy name, or thou wilt not be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet.

146

Wow, you were incredible.

147

I am so lucky.

148

Honestly, I love every single thing about you.

149

So tell me again why we're getting our hair done with your crush's girlfriend.

150

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, right?

151

I have it all planned out.

152

Look at this.

153

What ways to sabotage Stella?

154

Gina, this is not a good idea.

155

Yes, it is and as I'm sabotaging Stella, I am going to be giving myself all of the qualities that Peeta's looking for.

156

Brilliant, right?

157

And then he'll be forced to fall in love with me.

158

Have you been binge -watching you?

159

Because I'm not going to lie, you're giving me total Jill Goldberg vibes.

Why are you being so insecure, Stella?

227

I don't know what's going on with Stella.

She won't pick up my calls.

229

Isn't it funny that this is the first place I took you to after that awful breakup?

230

Ew.

231

Wait, I'm confused.

232

You're rejecting his calls?

233

I thought you wanted to get back together with Chase.

234

I did, but the truth is, I, um.

235

Gina, I can't.

236

Might be on the rocks with her, but I'm still in love with - Isn't that Stella?

237

It can't be.

238

That's that hat she always wears, and the same style of clothes.

239

That's definitely her.

240

Wait, don't go.

241

It's not worth it.

242

You said she's been acting paranoid and jealous about you cheating.

Maybe that's because that's what she's been doing.

244

Excuse me.

245

hey pete can we talk i know right before dress rehearsal isn't the best

246

believe you would do this to me do what i saw

248

you at the movie theater with some guy i knew something

249

was going on pete i have no idea what you're talking about whatever stella

250

you should probably give him some space honestly it's probably best if you dropped out of the play

251

and slice i don't know if you've noticed but pete is falling for me we belong together see

252

It looks like Stella dropped out.

253

I'm your need, Julia.

254

Probably for the best.

255

Yeah.

256

Alas, that love whose view is muffled still.

257

259

I don't know those lines yet.

260

Okay.

261

Yeah.

262

265

266

It was natural.

267

Pete, I think we're really great together.

268

Don't I have all the qualities that you want?

269

I'm pretty, smart, loyal.

270

She's out to get me, and now she wants to be me.

276

I, um...

277

Excuse me.

278

I need to go to the bathroom.

279

Stella was right.

280

Looks like someone got a little lost on his way to the bathroom.

281

What is all this?

282

That wasn't Stella at the movies, was it? Of course it was.

283

Well, if anything, this should show you that you have a girl that's willing to do anything for you.

284

I told you.

285

You should never have to force anything that's truly meant to be.

286

I gotta go.

287

Aww, buy those for me.

288

No, actually, they're for, um...

289

Me.

290

But you dropped out, so you can't be Juliet.

291

You can't be in the school play if you've been expelled from school.

292

Gina, I need you to come with me.

293

I saw some interesting footage of you sneaking into the nurse's office after school.

294

I can't explain that.

295

What is this?

296

Glue?

297

Get this out of my hair.

298

It's gonna ruin it.

299

I'm sure the nurse can cut around it.

300

Fine.

301

But I'm taking my flowers with me.

302

I'm sorry I didn't believe you sooner.

303

I'm sorry she stole your flowers.

304

Actually, she's probably gonna be the one that's sorry later.

305

I figured she would take them

306

so I put in a few peonies in there just because I heard what she did to you She's allergic.

307

I got hives for like two whole weeks Bees are actually for you.

308

Will you be the Juliet to my Romeo?

309

I cannot believe this.

310

I mean look at my hair, my face If I told you it wasn't going to work out.

311

Oh, sorry.

312

Uh, gotta go.

313

Do you know, this stuff actually works like magic.

314

I'm allergic to a lot of stuff, and my ex introduced me to it.

315

Thank you.

316

Probably the only good thing that came from her.

317

She was extremely toxic.

318

I mean, so toxic that she even tried to convince me that I was a crazy one.

319

Sounds like we have a lot in common.

320

All my exes tried to convince me I was the crazy one, too.

321

Really?

322

Can you believe that?

323

People.

324

I'm Gina.

325

I'm Todd.

326

Nice to meet you.

327

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.
