8
I'm sorry.
9
What?
10
What?
11
It's like you got so many lines to learn so fast that sometimes you need a minute to remember your next one.
12
So while you're thinking of it, You take this big pause where you look all intense.
13
You know, like this.
14
Okay.
15
Oh, here's my scene, here's my scene.
16
Oh, here's my scene. Who?
17
Mrs. Wallace?
18
Yes.
19
I'm Dr. Drake Remora, your sister's neurosurgeon.
20
Tell me, is she going to be all right?
21
I'm afraid the situation is much more dire than we'd expected.
22
Your sister is suffering from a...
23
a subcranial hematoma.
24
Perhaps we can discuss this further over coffee.
25
Oh, nice.
26
Yeah, thanks, Louie.
27
You know, for a minute there, I thought you were actually trying to smell something.
28
So how's the game?
29
I have no idea.
30
What?
31
Yeah, I'm just pretending to watch the game so I don't have to help out with stuff.
32
I don't believe you. That is brilliant.
33
And Monica has no idea?
34
Nope.
35
Every once in a while, I just yell and scream stuff at the TV.
36
Hey, what?
37
Oh, hey!
38
Is your team winning, hon?
39
Oh, yeah.
40
Anderson just scored again.

Well, people, everybody, welcome to Amazing Discovery.
44
Oh, oh, my God, again!
45
You guys can please not watch this.
46
Folks, this ever happened to you?
47
You go to the refrigerator, get a nice glass of milk, but these darn cartons are so flinging, flinging hard to open.
48
Well, you said it, Mike.
49
Oh, oh.
50
There's got to be a better way.
51
And there is, Kevin.
52
Kevin, can we please turn this off?
53
No way, Kevin.
54
What if I told you that there's a revolutionary new product that guarantees you'll never have to open up milk cartons again?
55
Meet the Milk Master 2000. Are you intrigued?
56
You're flinging, flinging right I am.
57
This is the first time he's never used this product before.
58
You're gonna see how easy this is to do.
59
Go ahead.
60
This works in any milk carton.
61
It is easy.
62
Now I can have milk every day.
63
Oh!
64
Hey.
65
What you guys doing?
66
Monica's making us watch Old Yeller.
67
So why are you guys so upset?
68
It's Old Yeller.
69
It's a happy movie.
70
What?
71
What are you talking about?
72
Come on.
73
Happy family gets a dog.
74
Frontier fun.
75
Yeah, but, Phoebs, what about the end?
76
What, when Yeller saves the family from the wolf and everyone's happy?
77
That's not the end.
78
Yeah, huh.
79
That's when my mother would shut off the TV and say the end.
80
What about the part where he has rabies?
81
He doesn't have rabies.
82
He has babies.
83
That's what my mom said.
84
Uh, Phoebe, I don't think your mom would want you to see what's about to happen.
85
What?
86
What's about to happen?
87
I've never seen this part before.
88
Hey, Travis, what you doing with that gun?
89
Oh, no. No, no, Travis, put down the gun.
90
No, no, no, no, he's your buddy, he's your yeller, no. No, no, the end, the end.

Okay, what kind of a sick doggy snuff film is this?
92
I wanted to.
93
Interesting.
94
Anyway, um, probably worked out for the best.
95
Yeah, sure.

97
And in about five seconds, you're gonna see what?

Oh, you came on the run!
101
What?
102
Now I'm so happy.
103
What are you talking about?
104
You used the Europe story.
105
That's the magic story you use when you want to have sex.
106
How do you know about that story?
107

115
I'm not afraid to use it.
116
Oh, Joey!
117
That's right, Noni.
118
You couldn't have at least changed your shirt.
119
Now, I want a suitcase filled with $100,000 and...
120
Shoo-shoo-shoo.
121

Thank God you're home.
136
I'm watching Cujo.
137
Alone?
138
Yes.
139
What is wrong with this dog?
140
Hey, did you get to the part where they're trapped in the car and Cujo's throwing himself at the windshield?
141
No, no, seriously, what's wrong with the dog?
142
Wait a minute, what are you doing home so early?
143
What happened to your date?
144
Oh, uh, didn't work out.
145
Oh, well, you want to watch the rest of the movie with me?
146
Oh, uh, okay, yeah.
147
You know, I never thought I would ever say this about a movie, but I really hope this dog dies.
148
What are you doing over there?
149
Come sit here.
150
You'll protect me.
151
Oh, sure, yeah, why not?
152
Okay.
153
Okay, that's him, that's him, that's Cujo, that's Cujo.
154
All right, I know, I know.
155
Yeah, it's gonna be okay.
156
Oh, my God.
157
What's he gonna do now?
158
I can't watch!
159
Oh, no!
160
Oh, seriously, how can you watch this?
161
Aren't you scared?
162
Terrified.
163
Tyler, I gotta tell you, I love your mom's books.
164
I love her books.
165
I cannot get on a plane without one.
166
I mean, this is so cool.
167
Yeah, well, you wouldn't think it's cool if you're 11 years old
168
and all your friends are passing around page 79 of Mistress Bitch.
169
Hey, hey, hey, she's on.
170
Ah, not a bing.
171
Here's a bring up to the book.
172
Now, what is this about you being arrested in London?
173
What is that all about?
174
Your mom was arrested?
175
Shh, busy beaming with pride.
176
Oh, okay.
177
This is kind of embarrassing, but occasionally after I've been intimate with a man...
178
Now, why would she say that's embarrassing?
179
Shh.
180
I just get this craving for Kung Pao chicken.
181
That's too much information!
182
All right, so now you're doing this whole book tour thing.
183
How is that going?
184
Oh, fine.
185
I'm leaving for New York tomorrow, which I hate.
186
But I get to see my son, who I love.
187
And this is the way that I find out.
188
Most moms use the phone.
189
You know, I don't take this wrong.
190
I just don't see you as a mom somehow.
191
I don't mean that bad.
192
Oh, no. I am a fabulous mom.
193
I bought my son his first condoms.
194
And then he burst into flames.
195
Hey, hon, would you help me get the plates down?
196
Yeah.
197
Hey, here's an idea.
198
Why don't we use our wedding china today?
199
I think we should save our china for something really special.
200
Like, if the Queen of England comes over.
201
Honey, she keeps canceling on us.
202
Take the hint.
203
What if something gets broken?
204
They're so expensive.
205
What is the point of having them if we never use them?
206
Okay, but if something gets broken and then the Queen comes over...
207
I will explain it to her.
208
Oh, yeah.
209
Like, I'm gonna let you talk to the Queen.
210
Oh, the parade is really good this year.
211
Man, those horses can crap.
212
Next up is a marching band from Muskogee, Oklahoma.
213
Muskogee?
214
That's like four hours from Tulsa.
215
Woo-hoo!
216
And here's the flow with the stars of the popular daytime soap, Days of Our Lives.
217
Oh my God!
218
Aren't you one of the stars of the popular daytime soap, Days of Our Lives?
219
Yeah!
220
I forgot I'm supposed to be there.
221
I can't believe I forgot.
222
I usually write stuff like this down on my arm.
223
Oh, stupid long sleeves.
224
What are you gonna do?
225
I guess I'm gonna have to come up with a really good reason why I wasn't there.
226
The producers are gonna be so mad at me.
227
They sat us all down yesterday and said, everyone has to be there, 6 a.m sharp.
228
That means you, Treviani.
229
Like I was some kind of idiot.
230
Well, you proved them right.
231
Yeah.
232
This is my favorite porn.
233
Yeah, me too.
234
You know what's sadder than this?
235
Bambi.
236
I cried for three days with that movie.
237
No, wait, two.
238
Because on the third day, my mother killed herself, so I was partly crying for that.
239
Well, see, now that I can see crying over, but Bambi is a cartoon.
240
You didn't cry when Bambi's mother died?
241
Yes, it was very sad when the guy stopped drawing the deer.
242
You know, Chandler, there's nothing wrong with crying.
243
You don't have to be so macho all the time.
244
Macho?
245
Yeah, you're right.
246
I don't know what I was thinking.
247
Well, I guess I just never really cried, you know?
248
I'm not a crying kind of guy.
249
Come on, man.
250
There's got to be something that gets you choked up.
251
Like, uh...
252
Uh, what if you saw a three-legged puppy?
253
I'd be sad, sure, but I wouldn't cry.
254
Okay, what if the puppy said, Help me, Chandler.
255
All the other puppies pick on me.
256
Cry?
257
I just found a talking puppy.
258
I'm rich.
259
Well, if we learn one thing today, Cheese, it's that cheerleaders and high explosives don't mix.
260
You're going to play that again, Mac.
261
Well, I couldn't have done it without you, buddy.
262
You're a genius.
263
Oh, yeah?
264
Well, then how come I can't get my VCR to stop blinking 12 o'clock?
265
So what'd you guys think?
266
Hey, hold on, hold on!
267
Hold on, please.
268
Joe, it's your mom.
269
Oh, that's nice.
270
So, what did you think?
271
Well, that was, um, okay.
272
It wasn't the best.
273
That was one of the worst things ever.
274
And not just on TV.
275
What are we gonna tell them?
276
Well, the lighting was okay.
277
Oh, no, you don't.
278
You got lighting last time.
279
Lighting is mine.
280
I have costumes.
281
Oh, great.
282
That means I'm stuck with.
283
So, we were watching you in there, and you were sitting right here.
284
Whoa!
285
What are you gonna do, Pheebs?
286
I don't know.
287
I don't know.
288
I can't lie to him again.
289
Oh, no, I'm...
290
No. I'm just gonna press my breasts up against him. And say nothing?
291
Uh-huh.
292
Yeah, that's right.
293
Wow, well, my folks really liked it.
294
So, what did you guys think?
295
Well, it wasn't
296
that good feather boa that's dr. Francis now she used to
297

298

299
Oh.
300
Sorry, Barry.
301
A little engagement gift.
302
Sure you didn't register for that.
303
And the moment of the evening.
304
I swear. Who died? Who died?
305
Roll him over!
306
Oh, come on, roll him over!
307
Oh.
308
Well, we know it wasn't Dexter.
309
Right, Marcel? Because...
310
Marcel?
311
Marcel?
312
Marcel?
313
How could you lose him?
314
I don't know, I don't know.
315
We were watching TV and then he pooped in Monica's shoe.
316
Wait, he pooped in my shoe? Which one?
317
I don't know.
318
The left one. Which ones?
319
Oh, those little clunky Amish things you think go with everything.
320
We have got to get you lazy boys out of these chairs.
321
Hey, whoa, hey, whoa.
322
You should go outside and be with the three-dimensional people.
323
No. Inside, good.
324
Outside, bad.
325
You guys are so pathetic.
326
Oh, oh, Xanadu!
327
She's one of us now.
328
Hi, you guys.
329
Hey.
330
Hey.
331
Well, we just want to stop by and say goodnight.
332
Bye-bye.
333
Look at that, they won't even turn their heads.
334
All right, you guys, taking off my shirt.
335
Nah, she's lying.
336
So what do you think?
337
I've still got it.
338
Why did you get me this?
339
What is it?
340
Bitch, yelling, bleeding, dilating.
341
Oh, the dilating.
342
Is this the video of the baby being born?
343
Sweetie, this is Phoebe's.
344
Why were you even watching it?
345
I thought maybe you got me porn for Valentine's Day.
346
Chandler, if you thought I was gonna get you porn for Valentine's Day, you were right.
347
Apparently, it's about a young girl who moves to the big city, you know, in search of stardom, but ends up having sex with a lot of guys.
348
Yeah, I got four stars.
349
Oh, wait a minute.
350
Those aren't stars.
351
Anyway, you wanna take a look?
352
Well, I'm not really in a sexy mood right now.
353
Hey, what's going on?
354
Well, remember the first time you saw Jaws?
355
How long it took to go back in the water?
356
And we can't let this tape wreck Valentine's Day.
357
You don't know.
358
You didn't see it.
359
Childbirth, it's a natural thing.
360
It's beautiful.
361
Oh, beautiful?
362
Really?
363
Huh, really?
364
You think this is beautiful?
365
Ow!
366
Oh, my God!
367
No wonder my mother hates me!
368
Ow!
369
See, honey, there's...
370
Don't touch me!
371
Uh, Phoebe's not here, is she?
372
No. Uh, Phoebe's not here, is she?
373
No. Oh, great.
374
Did you get a movie?
375
Uh...
376
Yeah, yeah. But, uh...
377
I don't think it's the kind you're gonna like.
378
You didn't get more movies that are gonna have us reaching for the tissues all night, did you?
379
Sort of.
380
Guys, what's going on?
381
Uh...
382
Phoebe's a porn star!
383
What?
384
What?
385
What are you talking about?
386
Phoebe Buffay in Buffay the Vampire Lair.
387
My God!
388
That's Phoebe.
389
Where did you get that?
390
Well, down at the adult video place on Bleeker.
391
And I saw Joey was about to go in, so I ran in ahead of him to surprise him.
392
And then I pretended that I didn't know he was in there.
393
Wow.
394
I mean, I just can't believe this.
395
You know, I mean, you think you know someone.
396
Even Phoebe, who's always been somewhat of a question mark.
397
Mm.
398
This is so bizarre.
399
I guess it kind of makes sense, though.
400
She had such a terrible childhood.
401
I had a terrible childhood, and I don't do porn.
402
Yes, but you're dead inside.
403
All right, Rob.
404
I better take that back.
405
What?
406
Why?
407
Why?
408
You can't watch that.
409
I mean, that's Phoebe.
410
Yeah, you're right.
411
We can't.
412
We shouldn't watch that.
413
Absolutely not.
414
I'll be back.
415
You know, maybe a little bit.
416
How about just the first half?
417
Hey, no, this is wrong, you guys.
418
Phoebe's our friend.
419
Look, I'm not gonna watch it.
420
Yeah.
421
Good for you, Joe.
422
Yeah.
423
Ah, I thought I'd find you here, Nosferatu.
424
Bufay, are you going to plunge your stake into my dark places?
425
Actually, I was kind of hoping it would be the other way around.
426
Hold on a second.
427
What is that on her ankle?
428
Hold on a second.
429
What is that on her ankle?
430
Her ankle is what you're watching?
431
Well, it's hard to tell.
432
Ooh.
433
Oh, gosh.
434
You just stopped moving.
435
Just doing her job.
436
You sick bastards.
437
Oh, it's a tattoo.
438
That's weird.
439
Phoebe doesn't...
440
Oh.
441
Wait, that's Ursula.
442
That's a Phoebe.
443
That is Ursula.
444
I can watch that.
445
Rewind it, rewind it.
446
Hey.
447
What's up?
448
Oh, my God!
449
What am I doing?
450
He makes up most of his lines.
451
Son of a...
452
Yeah, well, right this jerkweed.
453
I fall down an elevator shaft?
454
What the hell does this mean?
455
I fall down an elevator shaft?
456
Uh, I don't know.
457
I just bring the scripts.
458
They can't kill me.
459
I'm Francesca's long-lost son.
460
Right.
461
Amber, I want you to know that I'll always be there for you.
462
As a friend and as your brother.
463
Oh, Drake.
464
How'd a day, huh?
465
Where's the medical award?
466
Yeah.
467
Some guys are just lucky, I guess.
468
Dr. Remore, report to first floor emergency staff.
469
Well, then, uh...
470
I guess that's me.
471
Anyone else need to go in the elevator?
472
Dr. Wong?
473
Dr. Wong?
474
No, no. They only said you.
475
Oh, okay.
476
All right.
477
I love you, Drake.
478
Yeah, whatever.
479
Oh, no!
480
Drake!
481
Look out!
482
What?
483
Ah!
484
Did they just kill off Joey?
485
No. Now maybe.
486
At 4.30 a.m on the state, the United States garrison in Fort Sopter was fired upon.
487
It is now under bombardment...
488
Hey, Dad.
489
What are you doing here?
490
Well, it's your mother's bridge night, so I thought I'd come into the city for a little monocuddle.
491
Since when did you start smoking cigars?
492
I don't.
493
I just...
494
I just like the smell of them.
495
So, um, what are you really doing here, Dad?
496
Well, I just wanted to make sure that you're okay.
497
What makes you think that I might not be okay?
498
I saw Richard.
499
Oh? So, how you doing?
500
I'm fine.
501
Just a little tired, but I'm okay.
502
How's Richard doing?
503
You don't want to know.
504
No, I really, really do.
505
Well, he's doing terrible.
506
Really?
507
Worse than when he broke up with Barbara.
508
You're not just saying that, are you?
509
No, the man is a mess. Was he crying?
510
No. Well, do you think he was waiting till after you left so we could cry?
511
Maybe.
512
I think so.
513
Honey, relationships are hard.
514
Like with your mom and me.
515
You know, after we graduated from college, we broke up for a while.
516
It seems her father, your grandfather, wanted her to travel around Europe like he did.
517
Of course, he got to do it on Uncle Sam's nickel because he was also strafing German troop trains at the time.
518
However...
519
Hey, Joe.
520
What's up?
521
Bad news.
522
I watched the tape and passed it along to my bosses, and they weren't interested.
523
Oh.
524
Sorry, man.
525
But, uh, you watched the tape?
526
Yeah, I-I-I liked it.
527
But, uh, my bosses didn't go for it.
528
Stupid sons of bitches.
529
I'm not sure if you're a kid.
530
I'm not sure if you're a kid.
531
I'm not sure if you're a kid.
532
Stupid sons of bitches!
533
You didn't watch the tape.
534
What?
535
Of course I did.
536
Look, it's one thing not to cast me, but to lie to me?
537
I'm not lying to you.
538
I watched it.
539
Well, you lied again.
540
I watched it.
541
Keep going, Pinocchio.
542
I did.
543
No, you didn't.
544
I'm telling you, I watched the tape.
545
Did you watch the tape?
546
No. I can't believe Joey.
547
I hate being called a liar.
548
But you are a liar.
549
What did I just say?
550
You still here?
551
Yes, and I have to say, I am not just hurt.
552
I am insulted.
553
When I tell somebody I did something...
554
Okay, hold on.
555
Let me just stop you right there, okay?
556
First, you lied, right?
557
Then, you lied about lying, okay?
558
Then, you lied about lying about lying, okay?
559
So before you lie about lying about lying about...
560
lying...
561
Stop lying!
562
Why are you so sure I didn't watch this tape?
563
You wanna know why?
564
You wanna know why?
565
Well, this is going well.
566
Here's how I know you didn't watch the tape, okay?
567
If you had seen what was on this tape, believe me, you would have some comments.
568
All right, now, remember, I got paid a lot of money for this, and it only aired in Japan.
569
Ichiban!
570
Ichiban, lipstick for men.
571

576

583

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.
