Shadowing Practice: Suits Clips That Exude Power and Confidence - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
What happened with the witness?
2
Nothing.
3
Nothing happened.
4
I couldn't fix it. So you're gonna quit?
5
It's either that or have Lewis Lip fire me.
6
What are you talking about?
7
My first day, Lewis fired Gary Lipsky for screwing up a case.
8
He said if I did the same thing, I'd be gone just as fast.
9
Will you go back to the witness's house and get her to testify again?
10
I tried.
11
There's no way.
12
There's always a way.
13
Then why don't you go and convince her?
14
Because you screwed it up.
15
Oh, and you don't give a damn about the client.
16
Right.
17
It's not my job.
18
Does your job include giving a damn about me
19
because the least you could do is offer to stand up to Louis for me?
20
Stand up for you?
21
I put my ass on the line for you.
22
But it turns out you may have had the balls to get this job, but you don't have the courage to stick it out when it gets tough.
23
That's not true.
24
Isn't it?
25
You've had one foot out the door since you got here.
26
What are you talking about?
27
I'm talking about that briefcase being locked in your desk.
28
Yeah, I saw it, and I know what it is.
29
It's your backup plan in case this doesn't work out.
30
You can make some quick cash and go right back to the life you told me you didn't want to lead.
31
So if you want to quit, go ahead.
32
But this isn't because of Lewis, and it isn't because of me.
33
It's because you're afraid you might have to admit that you're not as smart as you think you are.
34
You lied.
35
That other drug test you showed me was a fake.
36
How'd you figure that out?
37
Someone once told me I have an eye for detail when it comes to important paperwork.
38
Well, maybe you're not as good as you think you are, or you would have caught it sooner.
39
Okay, so this was all some sort of test?
40
You blackmail me, you jeopardize my job?
41
Mike, stop.
42
Stop.
43
We all came out ahead, didn't we?
44
That new client's gonna bring us millions.
45
Jessica knows your name now.
46
It's a win-win.
47
You're right.
48
She does know my name, which is why she'll listen when I tell her exactly what happened.
49
Okay, but before you do that, It is that time again, isn't it?
50
What time?
51
Pee-in-a-cup time.
52
And now you know I'd fail.
53
Of course, you can run to Mommy, tell your story, and take your chances.
54
Or you can take the test and trust that I'll keep it to myself as my way of thanking you.
55
Uh, you know, I actually did some reading of the, uh, Pearson-Hardman drug policy as well.
56
Turns out that you have to wait three months before you can request another drug test.
57
It's a little detail you might have missed, so...
58
Drink up.
59
Oh, and, uh, I spoke to Tom Keller.
60
He says that he feels he'd be best served with the combination of me and Harvey.
61
Well, you brought us back lunch.
62
We would have shared.
63
Amusing.
64
As was this, your little lawsuit.
65
Take your sack of presents and run, kid.
66
You're in way over your head.
67
Oh, I think he'll be just fine.
68
Hello, Vivian.
69
Hello.
70
So the rookie called in the veteran.
71
No, no, I'm just here to watch.
72
I love spectator sports.
73
You enjoy watching the Yankees destroy a little league team?
74
David and Goliath happens to be one of my favorite stories.
75
Okay.
76
I'll bite.
77
What's in the bag?
78
Uh-uh.
79
Hey, hey, what are you doing?
80
Oh, do you recognize this carpet?
81
Make him get that out of here.
82
This is your own carpet, Mr. Korinski.
83
It's from Frank Carvello's apartment.
84
Come on.
85
You feel the fibers, the texture?
86
It's almost alive.
87
You brought bed bugs in here.
88
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
89
That's vandalism.
90
Assault.
91
You know, I'm happy that you put it that way, because that's exactly what we're gonna be charging your client with.
92
What are you talking about?
93
He didn't just fail to eradicate a bedbuck infestation.
94
He actually created one.
95
Yeah, he pulled the carpet from one of his old buildings, carpet that was already infested, and then he reinstalled it in my client's apartment to drive him out.
96
That's crazy.
97
You might want to warn your client about perjury.
98
We've got sworn testimony from the installer.
99
And a picture of the same carpet from one of his old buildings before it was renovated.
100
By the way, my wife and I really love what you've done with the place.
101
So it looks like we're talking about, what, assault?
102
Violations of rental codes, health codes, and, you know, just basic codes of human decency.
103
And if a jury in New York heard all that, wow, imagine the damages.
104
Harvey, spectate, please.
105
Just get that carpet out of here!
106
So, Vivian, how am I doing for my first time?
107
Yes?
108
Thought you'd like to know your case the pro bono I Won How exciting for you like I said, it's just a pro bono case.
109
It's not gonna help your career I did also manage to
110
sign 15 new clients who are all suing for the same harassment
111
and they will be paying so you can multiply this number times 15
112
It's not bad for rookie league our technical analysts predict stocks
113
are likely to have larger than expected volatility These predictions are
114
handed out to our traders on a daily basis in the form of a tip sheet.
115
All these traders get the same tip sheet?
116
Exactly.
117
They're prints on a red paper so they can't be copied.
118
Every trader is responsible for returning their sheet at the end of the day so they can be shredded.
119
So no records exist?
120
We keep electronic copies.
121
I'll need to see those copies for the last year.
122
I thought you meant.
123
I'm assuming you own a computer?
124
One more thing.
125
I'll need to see a list of all the trades Morello Assets made in the last year.
126
Well, I can't give you that.
127
Why not?
128
Why not?
129
Tip sheets have expired, but our current positions, that's proprietary information.
130
I can't release that on just your say so.
131
That's not a request.
132
We need to protect the company.
133
And we're covered under attorney-client privilege.
134
And I'm telling you, I'm not giving you s*.
135
You think I don't know what attorney-client privilege is?
136
You know, you corporate lawyers look down your noses at us because we didn't go to Ivy League schools.
137
Just because I don't have a fancy degree doesn't mean you get to come into my house and order me around.
138
And you go whine to Morello, and I'll knock you on your ass Knock on your ass at the bush you are.
139
Well, Sam, I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I've been working for your boss, Dean Morello, for a very long time, and, um, let me tell you something.
140
You try to stonewall me, you'll be out on the street in less than a week.
141
As for the other stuff, do I think that I'm smarter than you?
142
You're damn right I do.
143
But if you think that means that I can't kick your ass up and down this floor, take a swing and see what happens.
144
I didn't think so.
145
You were right.
146
He called every one of them.
147
You see the guy?
148
No. Start looking.
149
Hey, wait a minute.
150
Miss Williams, do you remember me?
151
I'm Mike Ross from the office.
152
I remember you.
153
Do you mind if I ask you what you're doing here today?
154
We were invited to come and hear a settlement offer.
155
Really?
156
Um, excuse me.
157
He came here himself.
158
Big mistake.
159
Sorry to ruin your little brunch, but, uh, I think you know damn well that you can't legally address my clients.
160
Hey, I just came for the juice.
161
Mmm.
162
Pulp-free.
163
I know I can't talk to your clients directly, but thank God you're here, Harv, because I'm not going to be able to get you to
164
get you to get you to get you to get you to get you.
165
I'm not going to get you to get you to get you to get you to get you.
166
And thank God you're here, Harvey.
167
Because what I can do is I can talk to you.
168
Harvey, Emerson Petroleum is offering $25,000 to each and every one of your clients.
169
If they don't take that, this trial stretches out for years.
170
Cross-examinations will be brutal.
171
They'll take our settlement, and this whole thing will be gone tomorrow.
172
Now, if any of your clients want to get in touch with me, here's my number.
173
Mr. Ross?
174
Harvey?
175
Erase that number.
176
You're not gonna get away with what you're doing, you know that, right?
177
What?
178
I just addressed you with a raised voice.
179
Sometimes my ears aren't so good.
180
If other people heard me, I apologize, Harvey.
181
I'm just glad you were smart enough to figure out I booked the Waldorf.
182
Hmm.
183
I think I need to take this.
184
I'm guessing it's one of your clients wanting to take my settlement offer.
185
Hello.
186
Tanner.
187
I'm coming after you.
188
Oh, I got your number.
189
Sorry to keep you waiting.
190
That's okay.
191
I got your email with a list of other law firms.
192
I respect your effort to make amends by referring to clients.
193
No, that wasn't a list for client referrals.
194
Those are firms you should consider for representation.
195
We're no longer your attorneys, Tori.
196
What?
197
We have no choice, really.
198
It would be impossible to represent you when we plan on suing you for every penny you've got.
199
Is this a joke?
200
Aberdeen Solutions.
201
Created in June of 2006, sold to Dryback 2010, dissolved two days ago.
202
Before that, it was Bolton Finances, and before that, it was Norton Services, Services Littleton LLC.
203
Where did you get those?
204
We know what you did Tori.
205
You couldn't have subpoenaed these files and yet we have them Take a look.
206
They're all there and now we have proof proof of what?
207
Those are all legitimate corporations used for stealing money and lining your own pockets,
208
but don't take my word for it guys Hello, Tori.
209
Yeah, we hired Stan to do a little independent consulting on our behalf, and he's come up with some very interesting connections.
210
It was easy.
211
Even if I don't really have a degree.
212
There was a vacation you invited me on last year.
213
To your new house in the Bahamas.
214
A house you bought with money you stole from this firm.
215
My firm.
216
Jessica.
217
Jessica what?
218
You can't use any of this.
219
We have attorney-client privilege.
220
With Dryback Accounting, yes.
221
With the shelf companies?
222
No. Unfortunately for you, you're listed on the shelf companies.
223
You stole from me.
224
You either come clean now, or the only time you'll see your children in the next decade will be during prison visiting hours.
225
I thought...
226
Harvey said he wanted to see me.
227
He said, get your ass in here. Am I fired?
228
You should be. That implies I'm not?
229
Not necessarily.
230
However, if I'm going to accept this situation, then I want to know everything there is to know.
231
Okay. Where do I start?
232
Why don't you tell me how the hell you got Harvey to hire you in the first place?
233
Fire up that laptop and I'll show you.
234
Ask me anything there is to know about the law.
235
That's how you did it.
236
You beat him?
237
Well, I'm not Harvey.
238
I don't need a computer.
239
Marbita file.
240
Done.
241
Schofield subpoena.
242
Done.
243
Johnson strategy.
244
Written.
245
Every single one of your assignments was completed by me last night.
246
What else do we have left to do?
247
Filing?
248
Filing.
249
Doc review.
250
Spell check.
251
Grunt work?
252
Yes, grunt work.
253
Because that's your job.
254
Let it be known that I can do your work faster
255
and better than any one of you without shedding a tear or breaking a sweat, but I don't because writing briefs and recommending arguments is how you learn.
256
You go out to any other firm right now at this stage of your career, you won't have this opportunity.
257
If you don't believe me, I will write you the best recommendation you have ever seen, and you can find out for yourself.
258
Go ahead.
259
Any takers?
260
That's what I thought.
261
I have ten new cases here.
262
Who wants in?
263
What do you guys waiting for?
264
Come and get them.
265
By the way, where'd you find that Yard Drive anyway?
266
I pulled it out of the back of a photocopier.
267
Gentlemen, as you are now in control of the company, we thought it best to bring a problem to your attention.
268
I was selfless of you.
269
These are amended copies of the allegations against your company by the Jarvis Homeowners Association?
270
Nice try.
271
I looked into those allegations.
272
Not a single expert has backed one of their claims.
273
Oh, one has now.
274
Keith Hoyt, who better to speak to the harmful effects than the man who designed the wind farm himself?
275
No, no, if he goes through with this, that company goes out of business.
276
There's no way he kills his own company.
277
You're right.
278
He wouldn't, but I would.
279
And as you pointed out, Keith's judgment has been impaired lately, so I convinced him to let me make the decisions going forward forward i now have power of attorney
280
and i'd rather see this company worth nothing than let you have it this is let him finish something's coming
281
we have three choices here we move forward with the suit
282
lose lose we can give you your money back plus the 500 000
283
or you and i can play poker for it and i'm not giving you your money back Thank you, Daniel.
284
But I'm not here to dispute anything.
285
After all, I was high.
286
I was high because I was being forced to work for you.
287
A man who, it turns out, knew CM was negligent before I ever even took the case.
288
Uh, this is not the time.
289
Shut up, Lewis.
290
Don't do this.
291
If you go, I go.
292
Do you deny knowing about the defects?
293
Unequivocally.
294
And you deny writing this memo? memo sending it to tanner knowing
295
that he would come after this entire firm that's why he settled
296
because you told him it wouldn't hold up well it's wild conjecture
297
and it's bullshit why'd he settle he settled
298
because i did what i do
299
that is not an answer yes it is this ends here the two of you have now slandered me
300
which violates the morality clause of the partner's agreement it's It's not slander.
301
It's the truth.
302
Unfortunately, you don't have a shred of evidence, because the evidence doesn't exist.
303
Well, actually, it does.
304
This is a partners only meeting, so have Tanner sue me.
305
But in the meantime, I think the rest of the partners are going to want to see this.
306
It's a signed affidavit from Lawrence Kemp stating
307
that he told Daniel Hardman about the defects in the CM Hood six years ago.
308
May 7th was the date of that meeting, per your calendar, to be exact.
309
You just denied knowing anything about that, unequivocally.
310
I guess you were just lying to cover up the fact that you were behind this entire suit in the first place.
311
Is that the basis of this?
312
A coerced lie from a man trying to say, my lawyer made me do it.
313
No way that holds up in court.
314
Doesn't have to.
315
Just as to make these Harvard-educated lawyers understand that you made each
316
and every one of them every one of them spend $100,000 of their own money to buy you control of my firm.
317
I think we've heard all we needed to hear.
318
Harvey has admitted to violating the drug policy.
319
All those in favor of his dismissal...
320
Looks like you lost.
321
I'm glad you brought up the bylaws.
322
Fraudulently suing your own firm is grounds for firing.
323
You have no proof of that?
324
All those in favor of Daniel Hardman's dismissal dismissal.
325
Hey, Harvey, I know I'm not a partner, but do you mind if I...
326
Go ahead.
327
Nice.
328
Daniel, that $3 million of our money you've spent on yourself...
329
consider your partnership bought out.
330
Okay, look, Harvey...
331
Shut your mouth!
332
I risked everything for you.
333
Then I did it again and again.
334
Wait, you weren't there.
335
I didn't have to be.
336
Jessica?
337
You don't work for Jessica.
338
You work for me.
339
I know I do, but I was just trying to get you what you wanted.
340
Your name on the door.
341
No, you got Edward Darby's name on the door.
342
My part of the deal, it's gone.
343
What?
344
You never told me that.
345
I didn't think I needed to tell you that, because I didn't think you would ever betray me.
346
Harvey, look at what we've done.
347
You and me.
348
You broke the Chinese wall.
349
I got information directly from Scotty.
350
That's two ethical violations that six weeks ago would have made your stomach turn.
351
That's not why you did it.
352
Fine.
353
But look me in the eye and tell me it's not true anyway.
354
You know what?
355
It doesn't matter, because you don't get to make my decisions for me.
356
Isn't that what you were trying to do for me?
357
This is a private conversation.
358
You want to have it out.
359
Let's have it out.
360
Right now.
361
You might want to go.
362
Sorry.
363
You're back in the associate's pool.
364
Harvey, come on.
365
Turns out you're not the best lawyer I've ever seen.
366
In fact, you're fired.
367
No, he's not.
368
You gonna overrule me on that, too?
369
You can go.
370
I didn't overrule you on the other.
371
I beat you fair and square.
372
No, you didn't.
373
You're right.
374
I cheated.
375
Like you.
376
You jumped to the other side.
377
You put me on the other side.
378
I had a deal that put your name right next to mine.
379
And it wasn't even up there yet, and you started acting like it was on top of mine.
380
To protect you.
381
Bull .
382
This wasn't about protecting me.
383
This was about advancing you.
384
That's what this whole thing is about.
385
What?
386
Hartman said it.
387
I didn't think it was true.
388
He said, you don't trust me.
389
He meant you're afraid of me.
390
Afraid of you?
391
Boy, I just kicked your ass.
392
And you didn't just want it, you begged me for it.
393
So now, you're going to stay here, be humble, and learn your goddamn place.
394
How long you been waiting here?
395
Since I found out what you need.
396
What I need is for you to leave me alone.
397
No, what you need is information on Ava Hesington.
398
Look, in 2008, her company tried to destroy evidence An oil spill?
399
Okay, well in 2010 they...
400
They bought off a whistleblower.
401
And if the next thing you're gonna tell me is about an environmental impact study in 2006, don't.
402
You think you're not replaceable?
403
I got all that from an associate I picked at random.
404
I've been doing this before I met you and I'll be doing it long after I've forgotten all about you.
405
You had enough?
406
No. No, you know what?
407
I haven't because you haven't.
408
Excuse me?
409
You haven't said whatever you have to say to rip me to shreds enough so that you can start to forgive me.
410
So go ahead.
411
Whatever it takes, I can take it.
412
Go.
413
Harvey, I am sorry, all right, but I need you to listen to me now.
414
Listen to you?
415
You know when I would have listened to you? That night.
416
Jessica threatened me.
417
I don't care.
418
Anyone comes at you with any threat at all, you come to me.
419
I don't give a shit if it's the Queen of England.
420
You come to me.
421
You tell me.
422
You tell me everything.
423
That's what goddamn loyalty is.
424
Lewis.
425
I know you're a stickler for the rules, so I figured I'd just come by to return my ID.
426
You want an explanation?
427
I want to see you perp walk through the bullpen with your pretty little jacket draped over your handcuffs.
428
But until then, yeah, I'll take an explanation.
429
When I found out the truth about Mike Ross, it had already been done. By Harvey.
430
Harvey, right after he made senior partner over me, that's when he hired the fraud, that's the correct timeline, right?
431
Yes.
432
So instead of turning him in, you cover it up.
433
Lewis.
434
And the one time that I do something, you don't cover it up at all.
435
You throw me to the wolves.
436
I saved you from the wolves.
437
I'll ask you for the smallest gesture, just to allow my career to continue with dignity, and you couldn't muster the tiniest shred of compassion.
438
What do you want me to say?
439
I want you to tell me you're a liar! And a hypocrite!
440
I want you to say you're sorry.
441
I am a liar.
442
And I am a hypocrite.
443
But I will not say I'm sorry.
444
Because I did what I did to protect this firm.
445
Well, looks like the captain's about to go down with their ship.
446
Bullshit.
447
You want something.
448
Oh, I told you.
449
I want to see you in... In handcuffs?
450
If that were true, the police would be here instead of you.
451
No. You wanted to see me squirm before asking me for what you really want.
452
I'm not gonna give you the satisfaction.
453
So you might as well spit it out.
454
You asked me what I wanted once before, and I told you.
455
And then you told me that I couldn't have it. But now I can.
456
Pearson.
457
Spectre.
458
Wit.
459
What are you doing here, Lewis?
460
I noticed you didn't come to the vote this morning.
461
No, I didn't.
462
I was busy closing a deal for my client.
463
Let me guess, you had him back date your sale to yesterday, so it falls under your old pay structure?
464
No, Lewis, that's something you would do, because unlike you, I don't actually care about the money.
465
Expect me to believe that?
466
Expect me to believe that?
467
I don't care whether you believe it or not.
468
My compensation package was about recognizing what I do.
469
Money was just a consequence.
470
That's why I didn't mind sharing it with Donna.
471
Now, get out.
472
No, you did care about the money.
473
Because it was the last thing you had that separated you from me.
474
Excuse me?
475
I got named partner.
476
I got Donna.
477
And that drove you nuts.
478
So you shed me at the meeting.
479
And then you pretended to apologize.
480
I did apologize, Louis.
481
I came to you like a man and then when I gave you the chance to make it up to me, you choked, like you always do.
482
Well, how you like me now, because the only thing you had left was that you made more, and now you don't, and I win.
483
You didn't win anything.
484
What are you talking about?
485
I'm talking about the fact that no matter what you get, you're always wanting more.
486
And the problem with always wanting more is that the second you get it, it can always be taken away.
487
You're not reversing that vote.
488
I'm not talking about the vote.
489
I'm talking about what you value most.
490
That's right.
491
Might not happen today or tomorrow, but it's gonna happen because I'm gonna make it happen.
492
One day you're gonna walk into your office and she's gonna be gone.
493
Mr. Spector, you said there's no record of me ever having an apartment in Boston.
494
Can you explain to the jury why there's no record of you ever having lived there?
495
I'm not the one on trial here.
496
No, you're not.
497
You're the one in that chair.
498
So why don't you answer the question or we can stop this whole thing right now?
499
There's no record of me living there because I sublet up there when I had my place down here.
500
So it is possible that a person not have a Boston address without it meaning that they didn't attend Harvard?
501
Great.
502
Thank you so much.
503
This witness is excused.
504
What exactly is your reason for not having an address up there?
505
Unless you're too afraid to answer my questions.
506
No, I'm not afraid of you at all.
507
My reason is that I chose to live with my friend Trevor during that time.
508
The only problem with that is your friend Trevor has lived in Brooklyn his entire life.
509
Exactly, a three hour and 20 minute drive from Harvard.
510
So you say you made that drive every day?
511
No, I only went up for tests because that's all I had to do.
512
I guess you needed some extra tutoring, huh?
513
You expect these people to believe
514
that you graduated from the most competitive law school in the world without ever going to class?
515
See, that's funny because you actually expect these people to believe
516
that I never went to law school at all
517
and yet still somehow managed to convince the smartest lawyers in the world to make me their youngest partner ever.
518
Whose story is looking more far-fetched now?
519
Oh, no answer?
520
Great.
521
No more questions, Your Honor.
522
I don't know if you've noticed this or not, but he's kicking your ass.
523
And I'm about to kick back.
524
Are you two discussing something that defense should be made aware of?
525
Just talking about the Knicks.
526
Now is the prosecution ready to call their first witness?
527
The prosecution's first witness is this affidavit from every single member of the defendant's supposed graduating class.
528
Objection, Your Honor.
529
I haven't seen that.
530
Well, then let me read it to you.
531
We collectively come forward to swear the following regarding Michael James Ross.
532
We never saw him.
533
We never knew him.
534
We never heard of him.
535
and it makes us sick that he's taking the good name of Harvard Law School and throwing it down the toilet.
536
Please find him guilty on all counts.
537
Your Honor, I moved to strike that document right now.
538
On what grounds?
539
On the grounds that it's completely fabricated.
540
Where's your proof?
541
Besides the fact that I actually went to Harvard, there's no way you could have contacted all of those people since last night.
542
Then I suggest you call every one of these people and put them on the stand.
543
But when you do, every single one of them is gonna look you in the eye and say, who the hell are you?
544
What?
545
No snappy comeback?
546
You can try to trick these people all you want, but the fact is, you didn't go to Harvard, and this proves it.
547
Objection, he's testifying.
548
What I'm doing is winning.
549
All right, that's enough.
550
I think this is a good time to take a break.
551
You here to bring me bread and water?
552
If it was up to me, I'd let you starve.
553
Let me guess.
554
You're here to tell me how much time they're tacking onto my sentence.
555
Well, it doesn't matter how much.
556
Because I'm gonna get to him.
557
And I'm gonna get to you.
558
Sorry, Frank, but you're not getting anything tacked onto your sentence.
559
Your parting gift is going back to the maximum security hellhole you came from.
560
No way.
561
You don't have the power to make that happen.
562
You're right.
563
I don't.
564
But my friend at the SEC sure does.
565
Why are you so upset, Frank?
566
Does it have anything to do with the fact
567
that every inmate in there knows that you're an informant and you'd be lucky to make it through your first night?
568
You think I'm afraid?
569
I think you're shing your pants right now, which is why I think you'd be interested in what's behind door number two.
570
You stay here at Danbury.
571
You do five more years.
572
And if Mike so much as gets a pebble in his shoe, you go back to door number one.
573
I'll take that hatred in your face as a yes.
574
Because it's the same luck you had the last time I put you away.
575
All right, Lewis, I've tried to be reasonable, but I'm not gonna sit around and watch this anymore.
576
As of this moment, you're no longer in charge of the associates.
577
Says you in what army?
578
I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.
579
I said you can't do that.
580
Oh, yes, I can.
581
I can.
582
Because even though Harvey clearly didn't tell you, as of last night, I'm a senior partner.
583
You're what?
584
That's right.
585
I gave Harvey a check for half a million dollars.
586
I'm a partner now, Lewis.
587
Which means your whole you're up here and I'm down here bullsht.
588
Not anymore.
589
Partner?
590
You're not even a lawyer.
591
Neither are the chief operating officers of four of the top nine firms in the world.
592
This is bullsht.
593
I didn't agree to any of this.
594
I don't care whether you agreed to it or not.
595
You're gonna live with it.
596
And I don't give a sh what your supposed title is.
597
I'm not giving up my associates.
598
And if you think you're gonna leave this bathroom without giving me the respect I deserve...
599
I'm not giving up my associates!
600
That's enough!
601
Harvey, what the hell kind of did you pull?
602
Shut up and listen, Lewis.
603
Donna asked for a seat at the table, and I gave her one.
604
Because when she worked for me, she had my back and would kill anyone coming for me.
605
And when she worked for you, she did the same exact thing.
606
Not to mention, if she left tomorrow, this firm would be a pile of rubble within 15 minutes.
607
So then give her a raise.
608
You don't make her goddamn senior partner.
609
If Jessica were here, she'd tell you to do the same exact thing.
610
Well, Lewis, Jessica isn't here.
611
But I am.
612
Thank you, Harvey.
613
Don't thank me yet.
614
You asked for a vote, you got it.
615
But the person who's gonna decide when that vote is, is me.
616
And I say our first order of business is putting out word that Harvey Specter is the new managing partner.
617
Now, you wanna vote on that?
618
Let's do it.
619
But if it's not unanimous, we're gonna have a big problem.
620
No problem here.
621
What about you, Lewis?
622
You got a problem with me calling the shots?
623
No, Harvey.
624
No problem.
625
Your managing partner.
626
Good.
627
Then I suggest the two of you get your shit together before tomorrow, because right now I got some things to take care of.
628
Let me get this straight.
629
You'll come at me for Jim Allen's losses if I prosecute Ricky Crosby, who you know is guilty and wasn't even your client until today?
630
What he was isn't important.
631
What he is is getting a deal.
632
So take your medicine and count yourself lucky that we're willing to horse trade.
633
Because if we weren't, you'd be f*ed right now.
634
Which you are anyway, because you're going to be issuing a public apology for going after an innocent man.
635
No way.
636
I admit that.
637
It ruins me for higher office.
638
What do you think I'm here for?
639
And you wouldn't be in this position if you didn't go after an innocent man in the first place.
640
I will issue an apology first thing tomorrow.
641
No, you will issue one now.
642
Because we're not giving you a chance to weasel out of this.
643
We even did you a solid and brought one up for you.
644
Robert, did you know there are 12 different synonyms for the word incompetent?
645
After you sign this, there's gonna be a 13th.
646
Malick.
647
You know, you think this is funny.
648
But, top story or not, a crime was committed here, and you were using it to ruin my career. So you...
649
You'd better watch your backs.
650
Tomorrow's gonna be what tomorrow's gonna be, Andy.
651
But for today, Jessica Pearson sends her regards.

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.
