1
The ceiling stopped spinning for me.
2
Is it still spinning for you?
3
Holy shit.
4
No. You think we puked it all up?
5
Maybe.
6
Ask me something.
7
Interrogate me.
8
Okay.
9
Interrogate you, sure.
10
When was the last time you peed your pants?
11
Today.
12
What?
13
When the Russian doctor took out the bone saw.
14
Oh, my God.
15
It was just a little bit, though.
16
Yeah, it's definitely still in her system.
17
All right, my turn.
18
Okay, hit me. Have you...
19
ever been in love?
20
Yeah, Nancy Wheeler.
21
First semester senior year.
22
Oh, my God.
23
She's such a priss.
24
Hmm.
25
Turns out, not really.
26
Are you still in love with Nancy?
27
No. Why not?
28
I think it's because I found someone who's a little bit better for me.
29
It's crazy.
30
Ever since Dustin got home, he's been saying, you know, you gotta find your Susie, you gotta find your Susie.
31
Wait, who's Susie?
32
It's some girl from camp.
33
I guess it's girlfriend.
34
To be honest with you, I'm not 100 % sure she's even real.
35
But that's not really the point.
36
It doesn't matter.
37
The point is this girl, you know, the one that I like.
38
It's somebody that I didn't even talk to in school.
39
And I don't even know why.
40
Maybe because Tommy H would have made fun of me or...
41
I wouldn't be.
42
prom king.
43
It's stupid.
44
I mean, Dustin's right.
45
It's all just a bunch of bullshit anyways.
46
Because when I think about it, I should have been hanging out with this girl the whole time.
47
First of all, she's hilarious.
48
She's so funny.
49
I feel like this summer, I have laughed harder than I have laughed in a really long time.
50
And she's smart.
51
Why smarter than me?
52
You know, she can crack, like, top secret Russian codes.
53
You know, she's honestly unlike anyone I've ever even met before.
54
Robin?
55
Robin, did you just OD in there?
56
No. I am still alive.
57
Floor's disgusting.
58
Yeah, well, I already got a bunch of blood and puke on my shirt, so...
59
What do you think? About?
60
This girl.
61
She sounds awesome.
62
She is awesome.
63
And what about the guy?
64
I think he's on drugs, and he's not thinking straight.
65
Really, because I think he's thinking a lot more clearly than usual.
66
He's not.
67
Look, he doesn't even know this girl.
68
And if he did know her, like, like really know her, I don't think he'd even want to be your friend.
69
No, that's not true.
70
No way is that true.
71
Listen to me, Steve.
72
It's shocked me to my core, but I like you.
73
I really like you.
74
But I'm not like your other friends.
75
And I'm not like Nancy Wheeler.
76
Robin, that's exactly why I like you.
77
Do you remember what I said about Click's class?
78
About me being jealous and, like, obsessed?
79
Yeah.
80
It isn't because I had a crush on you.
81
It's because she wouldn't stop staring at you.
82
Mrs. Click?
83
Tammy Thompson.
84
I wanted her to look at me, but she couldn't pull her eyes away from you and your stupid hair.
85
And I didn't understand, because you would get bagel crumbs all over the floor, and you asked dumb questions,
86
and you were a douchebag, and you didn't even like her, and I would go home and just scream into my pillow.
87
Tammy Thompson's a girl.
88
Steve.
89
Yeah?
90
Oh.
91
Oh.
92
Holy shit.
93
Yeah.
94
Holy shit.
95
Steve, did you OD over there?
96
No, just, uh, just thinking.
97
Okay.
98
I mean, yeah.
99
Tammy Thompson, you know, she's cute and all, but...
100
I mean, she's a total dud.
101
She's not.
102
Yes, she is.
103
She wants to be like a singer.
104
She wants to move like Nashville and shit.
105
She has dreams.
106
She can't even hold a tune.
107
She's practically tone deaf.
108
Have you heard her?
109
All the time.
110
You see me not tonight.
111
You see me more tonight.
112
She does not sound like that.
113
She sounds exactly like that.
114
That's a great impersonation of her.
115
You sound like a Muppet.
116
She sounds like a Muppet.
117
She sounds like a Muppet giving birth.
118
You can hold me tight.
119
You can hold me on before I love you.
120
Exactly.
121
I know.
122
Okay.
123
What the hell?
124
I'm sorry.

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.
