And I passed.
101
Hi there, beautiful.
102
You're the real deal, aren't you?
103
Where's your life?
104
Say goodbye, hedgehog.
105
Knuckles, stop!
106
Robotnik's stealing the Emerald!
107
What kind of fool do you take me for?
108
Just look!
109
Why?
110
Wait!
111
That wasn't the deal!
112
Oh, you poor, naive creature.
113
It's not your fault?
114
A more advanced data-elect would have seen this move coming a mile away.
115
Or 1.6 kilometers.
116
But I trusted you.
117
You were my friend.
118
I'm sorry.
119
That just hit me funny.
120
That just hit me funny.
121
How are we supposed to beat this thing?
122
We need a plan.
123
Knuckles, use your strength to...
124
Jump off the plane.
125
Wow.
126
Okay, this is what we're gonna do.
127
Step one, light taunting.
128
Step two, I have no idea.
129
Sonic!
130
Nice action, figure Eggman.
131
Does it do anything or just stand there looking ugly?
132
Like a blister, he keeps coming back.
133
He's on the okay to kill list.
134
Shoot the missiles, make a decision.
135
Uh, I just need a moment, sir.
136
I'm trying to figure out how to do this.
137
Did you even glance at Emmanuel?
138
I'll do it.
139
Pardon my lightning.
140
You might want to ground yourself.
141
Uh-oh.
142
I'm gonna pop that thing open like a can of chili.
143
Hang on!
144
Close one!
145
Help!
146
Bobby!
147
Robotic!
148
Deceiver!
149
Die, Mesquite!
150
Oh, I felt that.
151
Oh, wow!
152
What just happened?
153
It's the Stashmasher, right here in the manual.
154
Return to sender!
155
Stone!
156
Oh, great.
157
Next thing you know, there'll be a report about a hostile work environment.
158
Those were our best attacks.
159
And they did nothing!
160
We can't beat Robotnik as long as he's got that emerald.
161
He's too powerful!
162
Look, we aren't strong enough to beat Robotnik on our own, but there's three of us.
163
Your strength, your smarts, and my speed together.
164
That's how we win!
165
So we make our stand here, on the field of battle!
166
As a team!
167
This is it.
168
This is our moment.
169
Time to fight.
170
We had time to say this, but I don't actually have a plan.
171
Tails, any ideas?
172
We have to find his weak spot.
173
I suggest the groin.
174
What?
175
No. No!
176
Traditionally, yes.
177
The groin is the weakest spot.
178
Stop.
179
I'm saying groin.
180
Hedgehog!
181
Look out!
182
I know what his weak spot is.
183
It's me.
184
I'm the groin.
185
Think about it.
186
I lift rent free in this dude's head.
187
So I go out there and rile him up?
188
He'll focus on only you, leaving himself open to a flanking maneuver from me and the Fogs.
189
Hedgehog, you are a brave and noble warrior.
190
Go to your certain death with honor.
191
We're gonna have to work on your pep talks, pal.
192
Yeah.
193
Let's go.
194
All right, mustache.
195
You want me?
196
Come and get me.
197
You don't tell me about coming and getting.
198
I am on the cutting edge of coming and getting.
199
Coming and getting.
200
Coming and getting.
201
Coming and getting.
202
Coming and getting.
203
Oh, you're really heavy.
204
That's because I am one million percent muscle.
205
Foster Fox!
206
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
207
Keep going, go!
208
No, no, no, no, no!
209
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
210
Tom, what the heck happened here?
211
You thinking what I'm thinking?
212

213
We need your truck!

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.
