Shadowing Practice: Solar Opposites - My favorite moments from Season 4 (REUPLOAD) - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
I told you not to throw metal around here.
2
We're going to be late to work.
3
Stop buggering about.
4
Hey, does Corvo sound a little laugh?
5
This thing must not be calibrated.
6
Let me try again.
7
No!
8
No. This is working for me.
9
All right, chop-chop, let's get a move on.
10
I hate being late.
11
It makes me feel hot and weird.
12
You make me feel hot and weird.
13
What was that?
14
Nothing.
15
Coming, sweetie.
16
We've got our ski-ball tickets and got you a little something.
17
It's a plain T-shirt with a deep V!
18
Oh, I always wanted a deep V, but I never thought I could pull it off.
19
Corvo, honey, you can pull anything off.
20
Show us that sexy sternum, baby!
21
Ho-ho!
22
Oh, that's a deep V.
23
Looks like the Solar Opposites work at a boring rate company now!
24
Oh, oh my lord.
25
Why the fuck are you walking arm in arm?
26
Are you, like, dating?
27
No, she's my co-replicant.
28
They're totally dating!
29
Gross!
30
They're like old boys.
31
Nuh-uh, we're just using nutrient parts in our elbows to exchange information.
32
Look!
33
Ew!
34
You're not supposed to exchange juices with your brother.
35
This is totally normal. As if.
36
It's fucking freaky.
37
Elbow fuckers!
38
Look everyone!
39
They fuck elbows!
40
They fuck elbows!
41
If you were the boss, a rad ping-ping table would be your first purchase.
42
Ugh, no shit, but that's not the world we live in, so we fight.
43
Whoa, deep V, huh?
44
Don't make fun of me, I'm feeling insecure about it.
45
No, I love it.
46
Especially once your chest gets more defined.
47
Sorry, continue scheming.
48
I'll do it myself.
49
Ah, no!
50
I'm fucking covered in dicks!
51
Here's too early!
52
What the fuck are you doing back?
53
Terry, you keep bossing me around and it's extremely sexy.
54
I want to do fun, kinky hotel stuff with you and destroy a bed we'll never have to see again.
55
Uh, uh, uh, uh, we need the room.
56
Janice, clear my schedule for the next 15, no, 16 minutes.
57
Actually, wait, 15 was right.
58
So, you like it when I'm a boss, huh?
59
It makes me want to lick your spacious teeth and tie these delicate wrists down.
60
Oh shit, that's so tight on my fragile wrists.
61
Oh, hey, where are you going?
62
Oh fuck, are you Gerald's gaming me?
63
You're the one who taught me to use mid-tier Stephen Kingpots to get my way! But why?
64
You said I was the sexy boss!
65
I can't let you tank the Wooden City contract!
66
The stakes are way too high!
67
Corvo, don't Gerald's game me!
68
WAIT!
69
I fell asleep in that movie and I don't know how it ends!
70
Front desk!
71
Help!
72
I've been Gerald's game!
73
If we sent help to everyone who was being Gerald's game, we'd have no time to sniff your boxers.
74
I'm a major rake executive at a Fortune 5 billion company!
75
Sorry, the elevator's out.
76
So I had to take the stairs, and I forgot to take my heart meds.
77
But luckily, I was able to eat this Philly tree steak on the way up.
78
Not loving this pattern.
79
Let me just...
80
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE K, now this is exactly like the poster from Gerald's Game.
81
No!
82
I-I need you to send someone else.
83
You keep sending a bunch of silly gooses who all end up dying on me by tripping
84
and heart attacking and peanut allergy.
85
AHHHHH!
86
You being Gerald's Game, too?
87
Oh, we're Bachman buddies!
88
You took advantage of my obsession with fucking in a fun vacation setting!
89
AHHHHH!
90
This is something I should have done a long time ago.
91
Or at the very least, like, a few hours ago and we would have avoided all of this.
92
Super bitter!
93
Terry burned mac and cheese and it's all over the kitchen!
94
It's hard, okay?
95
You have to know exactly when the cheese gets unstuck from the ceiling and falls under the vat of boiling goose fat.
96
Just use the cleaning robot I built for you guys.
97
It's broken and Corvo wants me to mop up the mess.
98
Me?
99
Mopping?
100
This hot cunt don't mo- But these aliens are a pain in the ass!
101
Jerome, Corvo won't let me break his sunglasses!
102
Drop those right now, Terry!
103
Those are mine!
104
I stole them from the Chevron!
105
So anyway, I think I'm gonna take off.
106
Maybe move to Iowa, write the next great American robot novel.
107
I don't know.
108
But can you please come back?
109
I think if I leave these dummies unattended, someone's gonna get really hurt.
110
A cat!
111
Are you sure that's a good idea?
112
What about the whole ALF thing?
113
Don't aliens eat cats?
114
That's an offensive stereotype perpetuated by Hollywood liberals.
115
The solar opposites would never eat a cat.
116
Then let's go get a pet cat right now!
117
It'll be a permanent part of the family!
118
God damn it, we are like Alf!
119
You want me to what?
120
For you to make us a Dino-saur!
121
We wanna make it a Dino!
122
Make it a Dino without a spicier sauce!
123
Make it a Dino!
124
Make it a Dino!
125
Make it a Dino!
126
Make it a Dino!
127
Make it a Dino!
128
Shut up!
129
Why are y'all talking in those janky Mario Brothers accents?
130
Cuz it's fun!
131
Heaven forbid the Solar Opposites have the pepperoni of fun for once!
132
Look, I can't just make a living creature.
133
Dandelion, chaperone, light saber, butt cheek.
134
Well, the only thing
135
that was strong enough to kill the dinosaurs other than bigger dinosaurs was the asteroid that destroyed their world.
136
That is exactly what I require.
137
Damn, that girl can pronounce.
138
Pupa, are you bringing Dino a nice bowl of chili?
139
What the shit, Pupa, you little traitor.
140
Would you grow some self-doubt, Pupa?
141
Wait a second...
142
It's full of broken glass!
143
The pupil was trying to kill the Dino too!
144
Yay!
145
Here we go!
146
How does that gun even work?
147
Where are all these asteroids coming from?
148
I was sure we were dead after that beam turned our space station into cigarettes, but luckily we had one thing we needed to stay alive.
149
Hope.
150
Come on, Jesse!
151
Little Buddy and I are gonna turn your room into a cigar lounge.
152
No!
153
What about our room?
154
That'll be our jerk-off zone.
155
I told you that space would make a great jerk-off zone!
156
You say that about every room!
157
Orville, where's the food?
158
I'm hot-gree.
159
That's a combo of hot and hungry.
160
You wouldn't be so hot if you would stop eating those sauna stones.
161
Don't worry.
162
It's just a blast of deadly Teleron radiation that purges all organic life.
163
No. We're safe in the cockpit, but the rest of the ship is getting that sick-ass Teleron wipe.
164
There's too much clutter in there anyhow.
165
Food, toys, houseplants.
166
Pretty sure I saw a UPS guy wandering in a few days ago.
167
UPS?
168
Dude's lost as fuck.
169
This ship is way bigger on the inside than on the outside.
170
And I stormed out real quick because my Roblox subscription was about to expire
171
and I needed to re-up it so I don't get kicked out of my guild.
172
Oh, fuck, oh, fuck, oh, fuck.
173
What's wrong?
174
I was in the replicants' room, stealing cigarettes.
175
Please stop doing that.
176
I saw a glowing green birthday present on Yumulak's bed.
177
And it was addressed to him.
178
Oh, really?
179
Jesus face fucking Christ, that can only mean one thing.
180
Today must be Yumulak, Sloppy, and birthday.
181
Wait, are you trying to say birthday?
182
No, you sound stupid.
183
It's a schlorpean word that's totally different.
184
Berthaday.
185
Schlorpean.
186
Berthaday.
187
Jesus.
188
Fuck.
189
Oh, my God.
190
These replicants know nothing about their heritage.
191
Every schlorpean gets one berthaday randomly in their lifetime.
192
You know when it's here because a glowing green present appears.
193
And then you have exactly one day to open your present and claim your berthaday powers.
194
Oh, what kind of powers do you get?
195
That's the problem.
196
You're given a choice between infinite wisdom or powers of infinite destruction.
197
Infinite wisdom sounds toit!
198
Maybe.
199
No one knows.
200
It's never been picked.
201
Everyone chooses destruction.
202
A Shlorpian's birthday is their big chance to get revenge on everyone who's wronged them.
203
I don't want to be zapped into ash.
204
I haven't even licked the boy's inner butt yet.
205
We gotta do what we used to do back on Shlorp.
206
Keep the birthday boy from finding out it's their birthday.
207
We must keep Yum-Yalak away from his room at all costs.
208
That's right!
209
I never got to kill anyone on my birthday day because my friends distracted me until the clock ran out.
210
I was gonna kill my exes so they couldn't talk to each other about how I always brag about sucking to mound, but I never actually do it.
211
Then that's the plan.
212
We have 12 hours to distract Yum-Yalak and save the family.
213
Then we suck da mound.
214
So let's all settle in for a nice leisurely- Oh shit, take me home.
215
What is it?
216
What's wrong?
217
The waitress, I know her.
218
That's Tracy from school.
219
Hey Tracy, over here.
220
Oh stop waving.
221
I accidentally sent her a mound pick a few weeks ago.
222
It was embarrassing.
223
She left me on read.
224
He's such a fuck up, but we need to make him think it's cool.
225
Don't worry Yum-Bear.
226
I bet it was a good pick.
227
Oh god damn Yum, that mound is tight.
228
Usually I would totally roast you, but this is a quality mound.
229
Neat.
230
How'd you get it to glisten like that?
231
Oh, fuck.
232
Yeah!
233
Whoa, crazy!
234
I feel like I'm actually on Air Force One.
235
Where'd you get this game?
236
The Reagan Library.
237
Now remember, keep those goggles on good and tight for maximum VR.
238
Jessie's a total snake!
239
If she gets her hands on this, we're dead!
240
Can I say we stuff it in the washing machine?
241
It's the last place she's gonna look.
242
She only has one outfit.
243
Whoa, look at that!
244
Nancy's giving some guy a Hummer!
245
And it's Clint Eastwood?
246
Too real!
247
Oh, ugh!
248
I'm gonna puke!
249
Oh, no, wait!
250
You have to see how she spits it in his face!
251
You motherfuckers!
252
Give me that box!
253
What?!
254
I can't believe Terry won't let me trim his back moss with this bad boy.
255
I'd cut the shit out of those unruly tufts.
256
Can't we just keep using our old family photo?
257
I'm on my xereid, my skin's all messed up.
258
We're all on our xereids because our xycles have zinked!
259
You like?
260
I jacked up the sexy with a little titty window.
261
They were already sexy how they were!
262
Jesse, we can't see your face.
263
You have another hood on.
264
Yum, you're like, why are you holding your chin?
265
It's my fuck-boy face.
266
You like?
267
Whatever.
268
No fair.
269
I want to do something that makes me stand out.
270
Or handstand out.
271
Here we go.
272
Ah!
273
Gah!
274
Would you stop that?
275
Fuck.
276
Let's try again.
277
Everyone looks like a perfect non-weird family.
278
Ugh!
279
Why do you have to be like this?
280
Gotta bring out the big guns!
281
Aisha, Paddington 2, Reddit, now!
282
Oh my god, the first million comments are all people wanting to have sex with Paddington.
283
Nasty.
284
Paddington's a little bitch.
285
Paddington 1 is better than Paddington 2.
286
Oh, Paddington wouldn't last a second in prison!
287
Goddammit!
288
What is wrong with these people?
289
Hugh Grant imbued his villain with a rake his charm!
290
Grab him!
291
Bring it, come on!
292
Ugh, goddammit, Corvo, you stink!
293
How many num nums have you been eating?
294
One.
295
Well, you smell like shit's ugly sister.
296
And I love it.
297
Come on!
298
Two!
299
This doesn't make any sense.
300
Why would Jesse and I make off-color gooblers and not you two?
301
Because we're superior in every...
302
Oh, shit, wait a minute.
303
Totally forgot that I coughed up a lavender goobler last week.
304
Was I supposed to report that?
305
Yes!
306
My red goobler is still out there plotting to kill me.
307
These things could be dangerous.
308
Hmm, doesn't seem dangerous.
309
Oh, yeah, yeah, that shit right there.
310
Give it to me, Papa Liga!
311
This must be a romance, Goobler.
312
Because I'm such a romantic and shit.
313
That's a freaky little shithead horny Goobler and you fucking know it.
314
So we all...
315
What the fuck are you supposed to be?
316
Get out of here!
317
Cocomelon.
318
Cocomelon?
319
What are you talking about?
320
I said get out!
321
Cocomelon?
322
Oh my god, what do you want?
323
So you know Corvo and I hooked up in Vegas?
324
I bet you're wondering how I did it since Corvo doesn't have a butt and I don't have a dick.
325
Nah, it's okay, I don't need a knob.
326
I took a little hole out of his butt and used a shampoo bottle as a phallus, and it kept falling off.
327
I just listened to some random ass music, huh?
328
Yeah?
329
Well guess what?
330
You'll never kill me, I'm too fast and too smart, and it's my turn to say...
331
Get fucked!
332
Oh, my leg!
333
Oh, Jesus Christ, it fucking hurts!
334
Help!
335
I stabbed my leg on the jagged glass!
336
I can feel it scraping the thing I have instead of a bone!
337
Holy fuck, he's losing a lot of blood.
338
Should we get him down?
339
Yes, of course we should!
340
In a minute.
341
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
342
Important day of the year for ship maintenance.
343
I need you to focus.
344
Ugh, don't strain those bitter tits, I'm on it.
345
They are strained!
346
Oh, fuck!
347
Help!
348
Ah!
349
Ah!
350
Ugh!
351
Dammit, it's your job to keep the ray-a-rays arranged!
352
Why do we have a taco ray?
353
Grab the blue one over there and shoot Aisha with it to buy me some time!
354
Got it!
355
Ah!
356
Ah!
357
Ah!
358
NOOOOHHHHH!
359
Corvo?
360
Where are you?
361
Ah, I can't see anything.
362
Oh god, am I dead again?
363
You shot us with the invisibility ray.
364
We're invisible.
365
We have to get to Aisha before- Bye, bitches!
366
Aisha?
367
Aisha?
368
I just want to get ahead of any accusations and say this is both our faults.
369
Fuck!
370
Found it!
371
Oh, wait, that's my hand.
372
Okay, now I found it.
373
Crap, that's the other hand.
374
Fuck me and my two hands.
375
Use your echolocation to find the table.
376
I don't want to do that, it's embarrassing.
377
Come on, you got really good at it when you got lost at Hedonism 4 last summer.
378
Just try, come on.
379
Ugh!
380
Eww!
381
Eww!
382
Eww!
383
Eww!
384
Eww!
385
You need to hit a higher register.
386
Then you do it!
387
Ah, fuck this!
388
I actually like that you don't know science stuff.
389
What?
390
It makes me feel necessary.
391
Like a hunky, sexy science-slorpion.
392
You were fronting for me?
393
I was fronting and stunting.
394
But we said we'd never front in this house.
395
Agreeing to that was my original front.
396
It is sexy when you know about the ship.
397
I got pretty hot when you complain about the neutronium core.
398
It's always low on ions.
399
Mmm, I'll tell you what, that tech support tone makes me goosh.
400
What about when I yell at the fluidic processors?
401
Drives me wild.
402
Terry, take your goddamn clothes off.
403
Oh, I've been naked this whole time.
404
Oh, fuck.
405
Oh, God.
406
Treat me like an ectorp.
407
Call me a slutty little mom.
408
Talk Swedish dirty to me.
409
But IKEA legal.
410
They're so powerful.
411
Let's do it after we cut away.
412
Billy Bookcase.
413
River flames.
414
Yes.
415
Call of Solving.
416
I keep saying IKEA merch, it gets me so fucking hot!
417
Alan Renz!
418
Home delivery!
419
Sustainability!
420
Meatballs!
421
Nancy, we love you, but we have no idea what the tits is going on.
422
I created a revisibility booyah base.
423
It should restore you to the visible spectrum.
424
Plus, it's fucking delicious.
425
Now, where are you standing?
426
Lady, we have no idea, Renz.
427
Oh, my God!
428
It hurts so much!
429
I can feel my skin melting!
430
Thank you, Nancy Silverton!
431
Bon appetito!
432
...go out into the world and live!
433
I'm going to sell my story to Simon & Schuster for $5,000!
434
Ah!
435
Ah, jeez, I think I stepped on a grape!
436
Oh, hi there, little friend.
437
Did you get lost?
438
Oof-da, this wall's smelling pretty funky.
439
Yum hasn't been taking good care of you guys.
440
What's your name?
441
Blist...
442
I mean Nova.
443
My name is Nova.
444
Cool name!
445
If it's okay, could you please fix the temperature inside the wall?
446
Sure!
447
Easy peasy.
448
Here you go!
449
Thank you!
450
Oh, and my husband, he was- Okay, you take care now!
451
I'll get you some Lucky Charms later as a treat!
452
Nobody's going anywhere.
453
I have to express your mounds.
454
The stink is attracting those giant spiders again.
455
Fuck that.
456
No way.
457
Got the pressure.
458
Just let us be stanky.
459
My mound, my choice.
460
Hell no. I'm tired of slipping on pus when I'm doing my tie bow.
461
Bend over.
462
Jesse, hold this bag and collect all the dribblings and the sprays.
463
Ugh, it's gonna get on me. Be proud.
464
It is one of the great sloppy and honest to hold the mound gunk satchel.
465
I'll never forgive you for this, Corvo.
466
I hate you.
467
Oh, it tickles.
468
It tickles!
469
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do!
470
Get it all, Jesse.
471
We can pour it in molds and make our own gummy bears.
472
Oh, are we getting our mounds expressed?
473
Me next, me next!
474
All right, Terry, you can be next.
475
Just drop your pants and let's see...
476
Jesus, Jessica Parker!
477
What?
478
Terry, you have a human penis!
479
Oh, my gosh.
480
Do you have a butthole?
481
I don't know.
482
You tell me.
483
Whoa!
484
He's got a butthole!
485
He's got a butthole!
486
What kind of stuff should I put in it?
487
Ooh, give me that gunk wand!
488
Nuh-uh, nobody's putting anything in Terry's butthole!
489
Except me, after we figure out how this happened.
490
This old-ass alien gave it to me for showing him how to do winged eyeliner!
491
Did he have a shit?
492
Yep.
493
Did you fuck him?
494
I totally would have, but he said he was in love with some guy named Crumbo.
495
Who the shit is Crumbo?

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.
