1
The economy is that way!
2
You didn't book our seats together?
3
Don't blame me, you're the one that invited yourself to my business trip.
4
But it's our anniversary weekend.
5
I thought you'd be excited that I could join- Well you thought wrong.
6
Okay, this business trip is extremely important to me and I cannot have you yammering in my ear the whole flight.
7
I can't prep with the- Oh.
8
Uh.
9
Okay, now go.
10
You're slowing down the whole boarding process.
11
Oh, sorry.
12
Sorry about that.
13
Shoot.
14
Okay.
15
Excuse me.
16
Excuse me.
17
Believe you dropped this?
18
Thank you so very much.
19
It's the least I can do.
20
Considering we're neighbors.
21
Well, my day just got a whole lot better.
22
I'm Dana.
23
Sean.
24
Oh, gorgeous watch.
25
Thank you.
26
Yeah, I think it goes well with the suit, right?
27
Absolutely.
28
Where'd you get your suit?
29
Civil row?
30
Only the best.
31
Well, clearly you're a classy man.
32
Are you going to Hawaii?
33
Business, pleasure, maybe a little bit of both.
34
Well, actually, I'm going for an unimportant meeting with a business called Castlebrook.
35
Really?
36
Castlebrook?
37
Their CEO, West Brenton, is giving the keynote speech at the conference meeting I'm going to.
38
And that company only invests in winners.
39
If you're sitting with them, then that's really impressive.
40
Well, actually, I'm just going for...
41
Excuse me.
42
Two glasses of champagne, please, before takeoff.
43
I'm sorry, but our drink service is over for the moment.
44
We're taking off in a few minutes.
45
So, this is first class.
46
The rules are different.
47
Oh.
48
Go be a doll and fetch it.
49
Mm-hmm.
50
It was the best trip, but I was lost half of the time.
51
Oh, I get it.
52
Paris is amazing.
53
I spent three months there, and all we did was eat, drink, and visit museums.
54
I could give you some tips for your next visit if you like.
55
Show you the places you have to visit.
56
Oh, maybe you could just show me yourself.
57
People do say that Paris is one of the most romantic places on Earth.
58
Don't they?
59
Well, yeah, well, you see, I...
60
Marcus!
61
What's wrong with you?
62
Sorry.
63
I was just trying to bring you a weird surprise.
64
Gosh!
65
Well, I know you're not a fan of the snacks they have on planes, so I got you your favorite and wrote you something special.
66
What is wrong with you?
67
Why are you so weird, Marcus?
68
Weird?
69
Uh, I thought you'd appreciate this.
70
You're always complaining about food when you're...
71
Because sometimes I don't sit in the first class.
72
Use your head!
73
They have great food here and snacks.
74
I don't need the full-time junk.
75
Hey, come on.
76
Don't come on me.
77
Just let me finish my thing and stop distracting me so I can focus.
78
Go back to your seat.
79
Thanks.
80
Yeah, of course.
81
Sorry about the mess.
82
It's okay.
83
It wasn't your fault.
84
I'm so sorry about him.
85
So, you're married?
86
You're married. For now.
87
Well, truthfully, I've been so bored with my marriage.
88
But he's just so predictable.
89
He won't let me go and.. we've grown apart.
90
He just doesn't understand me.
91
We have different goals.
92
We're practically like roommates.
93
And I've just been so.. so.. so lonely.
94
Sir, you dropped this.
95
Oh, um, thanks. Was there something else?
96
I know it's none of my business, but I think you should know that your wife, she's throwing herself at the guy in first class.
97
Dana?
98
Nah, she wouldn't do that.
99
I mean, yeah, we're having a little trouble, but, uh, I don't think she actually cheat on me.
100
Look, I just think that the kind of husband who is clearly trying to make things work
101
and who writes a note like that deserves the right to know.
102
Follow me.
103
So if your husband is so bad, why haven't you left him yet?
104
Why else?
105
Money.
106
The bulk of it is in his name, and I'm so sick of struggling and living paycheck to paycheck.
107
So what are you going to do?
108
Between me and you, I don't really have to be at this conference.
109
I could have done it remotely and I don't even have to speak today.
110
And my girlfriends were raving about this meeting because every year, quality men attend.
111
Where else would I find a knight in shining armor who would rescue me from a loveless marriage?
112
So how about we meet up at the hotel bar when we land?
113
I can send off my worthless husband to do something touristy and you and I can see where this goes.
114
Uh...
115
I...
116
Ahem!
117
Oh my...
118
Marcus!
119
What?
120
Don't worry.
121
This is, uh, the last time I'll be bothering you.
122
I really thought this marriage was worth fighting for, but I'm done deluding myself that you care enough to save it,
123
and I can't keep being the only one trying.
124
We're done.
125
We're done?
126
Good.
127
I don't need you anyway.
128
I already found a better and rich man who doesn't only have money, but he has class and sophistication, and he's closing the deal with Castlebrook.
129
Wait, wait, I am not rich.
130
This suit is rented and this watch is my dad's.
131
I'm just borrowing it because I have a job interview.
132
Job interview?
133
You said you had a company.
134
You owned a company.
135
You went to Paris for three months.
136
Yeah, in college for my study abroad program, and I never said I owned a company.
137
That's just something you assumed.
138
And when you said you knew people at Castle Brook...
139
I didn't want to say anything that would ruin my chances, so...
140
I really need this job, and I promise you I was not trying to do anything with your wife.
141
I promise.
142
Baby!
143
Please.
144
For what it's worth, there's a lot of women who will appreciate a man who works this hard.

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.
