Uh, hi.

Good morning.
3
I'm here to...
4
Have a seat.
5
Thank you.
6
Mike Ross?
7
Hi.
8
I'm Rachel Zane.
9
I'll be giving you your orientation.
10
Wow.
11
You're pretty.
12
Good.
13
You hit on me.
14
We can get it out of the way that I am not interested.
15
No, I'm sorry.
16
I wasn't hitting on you.
17
Trust me.
18
I've given dozens of these, and without fail, whatever new hotshot it is, thinks that because I'm just a paralegal, that I will somehow be blown away by his dazzling degree.
19
Let me assure you, I won't.
20
I was?
21
Mm -hmm.
22
I was hitting on you.
23
You were.
24
Take notes.
25
I'm not gonna repeat myself.
26
I love you.
27
Each bank of offices specializes in its own arena of the law and is anchored by a department head on either end.
28
So on our left, mergers and acquisitions.
29
On the opposite side, high net worth divorce.
30
Nice.
31
Mergers across from divorce.
32
Symmetry.
33
Ah, yeah, I should just listen.
34
The firm operates on a chain of command model.
35
Harvey's your commanding officer.
36
However, Louis Litt, he oversees all associates, so you'll also answer to him.
37
What do you think about Harvey?
38
People are in awe of him.
39
They say he's the best closer there is, but I have very little contact with him, so I don't know.
40
What about Louis Litt?
41
Let's continue with your tour.
42
Hey, Becky, you are glowing.
43
I wonder why that is.
44
Oh, yeah.
45
It's the day they announce my promotion.
46
Jimmy, have you lost weight?
47
Steve -o!
48
Oh, looking like a guy who came to work.
49
Excuse me, why are you scratching off the senior off my door?
50
I got a work order to take it off.
51
Who issued the work order?
52
My supervisor.
53
Why did he issue the work order?
54
I knew then I'd be his supervisor.
55
You seem to be enjoying yourself.
56
I haven't enjoyed myself since 2004.
57
Donna?
58
Someone's trying to have a little fun with me here.
59
Jessica wants to see you in her office.
60
Now.
61
And finally, this is where you'll live.
62
Wow.
63
I gave you that for a reason you haven't taken one note.
64
It's because...
65
Because you were too busy ogling me to listen to a word I've said.
66
Partners offices anchor the wings.
67
Fifth floor is research.
68
Six is security.
69
All work gets built, even if it's finding an address.
70
I answer to Harvey and Louis Litt, and judging by the way you responded to my questions, I should admire Harvey, and I should fear Lewis.
71
You have been here for five years, and just because I outrank you does not mean I have the authority to command your services.
72
Oh, it's also pretty clear that you think you're too smart to be a paralegal.
73
You know what nobody likes?
74
Nobody likes a show -off.
75
You used the word ogling.
76
When do I get to see Harvey?
77
Gerald Tate fired the firm.
78
So you're taking my promotion away?
79
You know, most firms would put you in front of the bar and have your license stripped.
80
You lied to a client, and he figured it out.
81
I lied to him to get him to do the right thing and honor his goddamn contract, and you didn't seem to mind so much when you thought I got away with it.
82
But you didn't get away with it.
83
And I can't justify handing you a promotion on the same day that you lose a huge client.
84
One client doesn't make a firm.
85
I don't know if you've noticed, but we're in the middle of an economic meltdown.
86
Companies aren't exactly lining up to spend money on attorneys right now.
87
And, you know, Gerald might have forgiven the lying had you not humiliated him.
88
But you did, and you need to accept that.
89
Jessica, if you hadn't done as much for me as you have, I'd be heading for the door.
90
If I hadn't done as much for you as I have, I'd be throwing you out the window.
91
But, Harvey, no more shenanigans.
92
You do one more thing that isn't straight as an arrow, and instead of covering your ass, I will put you in front of the bar myself.
93
Mike.
94
Hey.
95
Who's ready for a great first day?
96
I'm going to have to let you go.
97
What?
98
I just got reamed for lying to a client, and if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.
99
You what?
100
Not now, Donna.
101
Look, I have to put my own interests above yours.
102
It's nothing personal.
103
You're fired.
104
wait so you're worried that if i stay then they might find out
105
that you lied about me and you'll lose your license But if you fire me, then I could tell them that you lied about me, and you'd definitely lose your license.
106
Are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus, you're going to drag me with you?
107
You put your interests above mine, and I'm just putting mine back up next to yours.
108
You rehired.
109
Okay, so should I...
110
All right.
111
Harvard trivia, the lightning round.
112

114
Forty -six.
115
Nobel Peace Prizes.
116
Five.
117
What is the oldest book in the Harvard Library collection?
118
The Bible.
119
Wrong.
120
The Gutenberg Bible.
121
Everyone knows it's the Gutenberg Bible.
122
Yes, but you didn't say it.
123
The rules dictate you must be precise, as the law is a very precise endeavor.
124
How many U .S.
125
That's not fair.
126
You didn't even finish the question.
127
And yet it's right.
128
The question was going to be how many U .S presidents have attended Harvard.
129
You want names?
130
No. We get it.
131
Final round.
132
Ross is ahead by one.
133
One question each.
134
Points are double.
135
Double, because he wants to keep you in the game, Seth.
136
Bring it on, Ross.
137
I bleed crimson.
138
Oh, venomous banter.
139
This is adorable.
140
I love it.
141
Ross, square pizza, where do you get it? Are you kidding?
142
Any self -respecting Harvard alumnus would know the answer to that.
143
Late night studying, you want square pizza, where do you go?
144
Um...
145
You know, I'm more of a burger guy.
146
I study better on protein. And that's pathetic.
147
It's Pinocchio's.
148
I answer mine.
149
I win.
150
Yeah, I know.
151
How many current U .S.
152
Supreme Court justices are from our alma mater?
153
Five.
154
Got anything to say, Ross?
155
No, just that the answer is wrong.
156
No, Scalia, Roberts, Kennedy, Breyer, Kagan.
157
Ginsburg.
158
Ruth Bader Ginsburg went to Columbia.
159
She graduated from Columbia after she attended Harvard for two years.
160
The question was phrased, how many justices were from Harvard?
161
Well, she was on the Harvard Law Review.
162
When she arrived at Columbia as a transfer, she was from Harvard.
163
The rules dictate that you must be precise, as the law is a precise endeavor.
164
Congratulations.
165
That's what you get for second place.
166
Ross, triple -double, courtesy of your America's favorite burger chain.
167
Lewis won the class action suit.
168
Ten thousand men of Harvard want victory today.
169
For they know that our only life at Harvard holds sway.
170
So conquer all of Eli's men.
171
My favorite part.
172
You don't know the lyrics, do you?
173
I don't even know the lyrics, Lewis.
174
Are we practicing law down here or auditioning a chorus line?
175
It's called Esprit de corps, and I just got a $100 million jury award overturned.
176
I don't have to overturn awards like that because I've never lost one in the first place.
177
So what is this, a new cologne or just a hint of jealousy?
178
I'm surprised you, uh, don't recognize your wife's perfume.
179
I know.
180
You're not married.
181
Still funny.
182
You do realize we're celebrating making fat people even fatter, right?
183
If you wanted to do good, you should have been a fake doctor.
184
Business cards.
185
Yep.
186
My mistake is now official.
187
Come with me.
188
Learn the goddamn lyrics to the Harvard song, will ya?
189
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, God, I'm so sorry, are you okay?
190
You know they're easy ways to kill me if you're worried I'll rat you out for cheating on the LSATs.
191
Come on, Rachel.
192
Unbelievable.
193
Rachel!
194
Rachel, come on, let me buy you a fresh cup.
195
You're actually going to buy it this time, you're going to steal it.
196
Okay, first of all, I don't steal, I cheat, there's a big difference, and I don't do it anymore.
197
Oh, great defense.
198
I'm sorry, Your Honor, I know that I murdered her, but I promise I won't do it anymore.
199
Look, I understand why you're mad, but I still don't think you're being entirely fair.
200
Not fair?
201
What's not fair is that you repeatedly help people skirt a system that stands in the way of me becoming a lawyer.
202
You know what?
203
Why don't you give up the whole saint accent?
204
It's the only reason you figured out I was cheating is because you were thinking about cheating yourself.
205
Thinking about cheating and actually doing it are two very different things, doctor analogy.
206
Oh.
207
Whoa, did I miss an apocalypse?
208
Where is everyone?
209
You know, for someone with a freak brain, you manage to forget everything important.
210
Follow me, but don't talk to me.
211
Cab, did someone steal your bike?
212
I have a lot on my mind.
213
It's a safety issue.
214
What are you talking about?
215
Louis.
216
He told Jenny about Rachel and me.
217
It was one kiss, and she kissed me.
218
OK, soap opera.
219
Just give me my documents.
220
Harvey!
221
Cameron.
222
How the hell are you?
223
It's good to see you.
224
Wow.
225
Too damn long.
226
Cameron Dennis, District Attorney.
227
Hey, you meet Mike Ross, my associate.
228
Hi.
229
I guess that makes you his Harvey.
230
Sorry?
231
Harvey was my associate.
232
I taught him everything he knows.
233
Best ADA to come up since me.
234
You taught him?
235
Never go to court.
236
That's me.
237
It's not about caring.
238
It's about winning.
239
It's me.
240
No way.
241
Harvey's Harvey.
242
Yeah.
243
Exactly.
244
We should, uh, catch up, have lunch.
245
Hey, you know what?
246
This is crazy.
247
I'm free for dinner tonight.
248
Just cancel whatever you have and tell Jessica I demanded that you clear your schedule.
249
Dinner it is.
250
It'll be nice.
251
That's my boy.
252
All right.
253
You know where to find me, 8 o 'clock.
254
Glad I ran into you, Harvey.
255
Donna, do me a favor and get Mr. Sherman on the phone, please.
256
Thank you.
257
What was that?
258
Excuse me?
259
Please do me a favor and thank you?
260
All in the same sentence?
261
You think I'm not gonna notice that?
262
I don't have time for this.
263
You got time.
264
You're gonna sit right there while I figure out what the hell's going on.
265
Nothing's going on.
266
Dimpling your tie is too far to the left.
267
That says that your mind is on something else.
268
Mr. Sherman's called 136 times.
269
You've never called him back, which means you're feeling guilty and you're trying to compensate.
270
I'm not trying to...
271
I didn't say overcompensate.
272
As long as we're clear.
273
The only time I've ever seen you wear lavender was when your brother was in the hospital.
274
You're feeling protective in an older brother manner.
275
Whoa.
276
Either your mother somehow appeared in your life for Jessica found out about Mike.
277
Oh, my God. Does he know?
278
What's playing on that thing?
279
Uh, audiobook.
280
Follow the Roman Empire.
281
Oh, I was just rocking out to Einstein's biography this morning.
282
Oh, dear, I prefer his acoustic stuff. So you're awfully chipper.
283
Maybe you got some good news?
284
Uh, yeah, that led to an amazing dinner with an incredible woman.
285
I'm really happy to hear things are going well with you and Jenny.
286
Whoa, no. No, no, no. I was out with Jessica last night.
287
Isn't she just a little old for you?
288
Uh, I do okay with the cougars.
289
You realize you're talking about the managing partner of the firm?
290
Yeah, I'm...
291
Oh, please don't tell anyone I said that.
292
What are you going to do?
293
I'm going to fire him.
294
How can you do that?
295
What do you want me to say if I don't, Jessica will?
296
What's up, motherfuckers?
297
Wow, oh my God, that's a beautiful day.
298
Did you guys get that memo?
299
You know, the one about how I am the greatest.
300
What's wrong with you two?
301
Did somebody die?
302
I'm gonna be outside.
303
I'm gonna be outside.
304
I'm so serious.
305
All the time.
306
Mike?
307
Uh -huh.
308
Sit down.
309
No can do.
310
I got too much energy.
311
I just wanted to come and give you an update on the Swinton merger.
312
Turns out this woman thinks that publishing stole one of her book ideas file suit.
313
Listen.
314
Normally, I'd suggest that we settle, but then I got to thinking, WWHD.
315
What would Harvey do?
316
Steamroller.
317
Exactly which is what I'm going to do.
318
Myra Harrison is not going to know what hit her.
319
Why embrace my philosophy now?
320
Come on, your merger, Myra Harrison.
321
Mike.
322
Sit down.
323
You okay?
324
I can't talk right now.
325
Okay, just get it over with.
326
Tell me what happened.
327
That was the talk and the plan, the whole what I would do.
328
It was just whatever.
329
You couldn't do it.
330
I didn't do it.
331
You got overwhelmed with a wave of emotion you didn't see coming.
332
You cried and you let him stay.
333
No, I saw the amount of work I would have to go through to replace him and decided against it.
334
Did you see the amount of work through a pool of tears?
335
Are you finished?
336
Can I get you anything?
337
Tissue, glass of water, tampon?
338
Okay, wait a second.
339
You listen to all my private conversations.
340
so this time you didn't I was busy busy that's what you're going very busy you didn't listen
341

342

344
party you said if you didn't find him Jessica would what are you gonna do
345
buy us some time okay you didn't tell him anything why I would be so dazed when he walked out of here.
346
I told him I was proud of him.
347
You need to give that boy more encouragement.
348
Everyone, I would like you to meet Ms. Sheila's Ass from our beloved Harvard Law.
349
While I appreciate the instruction, I would have appreciated you now with its discretion.
350
I'm here to make an assessment that has been aided our immunity from law.
351
Okay.
352
And by the way, it says S -A -Z -S.
353
Yeah, that's why I sent you a there.
354
Do you see what I see?
355
There's two of them.
356
I think Lewis is attracted to female Lewis.
357
Do you think that if he touched the world, it would cease to exist?
358
I don't want to think about him.
359
There's my favorite litigation girl, Olivia, what's up?
360
James, Gordon Breed.
361
I'm just gonna say it.
362
It's a gift for the law.
363
It's just what I like to do, basically.
364
I like to, you know, sit here once a week, make myself accessible, know the truth, you know, personal level.
365
And what has that process been?
366
Well, Harold has a mother of the trans -grain and thyroid heart disease.
367
Yes.
368
What about him?
369
I think I've seen enough.
370
Clearly, you don't know that person very well, so unless you want to find yourself for treating him to New Binghamton, you'll treat me with a little more serious.
371
Wow, you really found me to the correct.
372
Yes, I do not know him on a personal level, thank God, but I don't think that's relevant.
373
I have 20 underlings.
374
I don't know a single person about me.
375
God, I admire you.
376
What do you need from a steeper privilege?
377
What do you think I need?
378
Talk to each one of them individual.
379
Thank you.
380
Pick a man. That one.
381

389
I'm sure we could work something out.
390
I need to know now, know now, can you love me again?
391
I need to know now, know now, can you love me again?
392
I need to know now, know now, can you love me again?

395
Then you got undressed.
396
I got a little hot.
397
Yes, you did.
398
Come to think of it, it is getting a little warm in here.

401
I'm having a discussion about the fate of the firm with my dead secretary's ashes.
402
Well, as long as it's not something weird.
403
What exactly have you two been doing the last half hour?
404
The same thing you're about to do.
405
No way, I'm not doing the Mary Jane.
406
Yes, you are.
407
I'm not huffing and puffing.
408
Lewis, it's the only way.
409
No, I'm not doing the dirty.
410
It's okay, I got this.
411
I mean, if Lewis doesn't want to smoke it, maybe Norma does.
412
Oh, don't you dare.
413
Relax, Lewis, it's not like it's gonna kill her.
414
Harvey, that is not funny, okay?
415
You're gonna get ashes in her ashes.
416
Then why don't you just smoke it yourself?
417
Put that out.
418
Nope.
419
I'm gonna light this joint on the count of one...
420
Harvey, I'm telling you.

Give me the goddamn thing.

428
You have no idea.

452
You want to put the janitor in charge of bankruptcy?
453
Or the guard downstairs could be head of litigation?
454
You finished?
455
Depends on what you say next.
456
I'm sorry I said those things about you.
457
And I want you to know I didn't mean any of them.
458
I'm sorry, too, Harvey.
459
Jessica, you don't need to apologize for...
460
Yes, I do.
461
You were just tearing the statue down.
462
Just like you saw me do all those years ago.
463
And I didn't like it.
464
Because the statue was me.
465
Well, if it's the same to you, I'd like the statue to stay.
466
Sounds good to me.
467
There's one more thing.
468
There always is.
469
I'm still bringing Alex over, only not as a name partner.
470
But Pfizer's still insisting we drop Jim Reynolds.
471
And you want to know if I'm OK with him?
472
No. I'm letting him go.
473
I'm just calling you to tell you before I tell him like I should have done in the first place.
474
I was wrong when I said you weren't ready, Harvey.
475
No, you weren't. But you are now.
476
Good night, Closer.
477
Good night, Jessica.
478
And take your feet off my desk.
479
Not a chance. Am I interrupting?
480
Because I wanted to say Harvey gave me the news, and I'm good with it if you are.
481
Of course I am, partner.
482
Then I guess there's only one thing to figure out.
483
Williams -Wheeler or Willa Williams.
484
You won, Alex.
485
It's your choice.
486
So what do you say we have ourselves a good old -fashioned group hug?
487
In the air of the night, oh, Lord.
488
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, Lord.
489
Harvey, it's been a long day, so if you're here to yell at me, relax, Louis.
490
I'm here to say thank you.
491
We lost ourselves, and you brought us back.
492
thanks Harvey appreciate that takes a lot of balls to come at me
493
and Robert like that no Harvey it didn't
494

495
I didn't even care to be matching partner in the first place what do you mean I'm gonna have a baby
496
I'm gonna be a dad.
497
And once that hit me, dealing with this felt so simple.
498
Congratulations, Lewis.
499
I think you are gonna make a great managing partner, and I know you're gonna make an outstanding five.
500
You two need to get a room, or does anybody wanna go out and celebrate?
501
Actually, I think I'm just gonna stay here for a bit and take it all in.
502
I understand.
503

504
Good night.
505

521

522
Lewis, don't tell me you've been walking through the place like you own it, doing God knows what to everybody you see.
523
Not walking, strutting, and high -fiving, and fist bumping, and a little bit of this.
524
As you should, Mr. Managing Partner.
525
That's what I'm saying!
526
Don't even...
527
Think about it.
528
Think about what?
529
All right, Louis, two things.
530
Congratulations, and I'm proud of you.
531
And I'm gonna need a raise.
532
That's three things.
533
Congratulations, and I'm proud of you is part of the same thing.
534
And another thing, I will no longer be getting your coffee, get your car wash, or trim your neck hair.
535
Gretchen, you've never done any of those things.
536
And I never will.
537
You're just giving me shit, aren't you?
538
Mm -hmm.
539
Louis, I don't need a plug nickel.
540
I'm just here for you before.
541
I'm here with you now, whatever you need.
542
Thank you, Gretchen.
543
And all I need is for people to know that there may be a new person at the top, but I want this firm to be the same as it ever was.

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.
