I mean, I haven't seen your approach, man.

You have really improved.

I'm not kidding.
27
You know, maybe you can play now.
28
Me and my associate, we're just starting up.
29
How about you two against me?
30
I'll just play...
31
Tom, seriously, I'll even...
32
I'll spot you three sets.
33
All right, I'll see you later then.
34
Huh.
35
Isn't that, uh...
36
It's Tom Keller.
37
Yeah.
38
The premier fantasy sports guy, right?
39
That's him.
40
Yeah, I play that every year.
41
Yeah, you and five million other fantasy footballers.
42
I mean, the guy generates 200 million per annum, right?
43
He still uses his fraternity brother as a general counsel.
44
I mean, someone with that many assets just makes me sick.
45
Okay.
46
So is it my serve?
47
Let's hit the showers.
48
Wait, wait.
49
Holy shit.
50
Look at this guy.
51
Those are $25,000 chips.
52
That's three stacks.
53
Four, twenty, twenty, seven.
54
That is $3,125,000.
55
That's Keith.
56
Well, at least we don't have to worry about him losing.
57
All in. Or...
58
Keith.
59
Harvey.
60
This is a bad idea.
61
You haven't seen my head.
62
I call.
63
Street.
64
Full House.
65
He's got one out.
66
We're fine unless the river's at...
67
Tent of clubs.
68
That is some tough luck right there.
69
Tony, please, just give me 48 hours.
70
Sorry, Keith.
71
Deal's a deal. That was insane.
72
You just lost $3 million.
73
Who the hell is that guy?
74
That's worse. That napkin.
75
Harvey, I just lost my company.
76
You really think you can handle me?
77
Oh, I think I'll be just fine.
78
Because this isn't Sunday afternoon bridge with your grandmother.
79
I don't see how that's an insult to a person.
80
I'll just keep dealing.
81
Look, we're supposed to play until one of us is busted,
82
even if it takes all night, but you know what?
83
I don't have all night.
84
Who's the grandmother now?
85
Better.
86
He can't help you, but I do know why you're looking to him.
87
You see, I looked into you.
88
You say you're a self-made man.
89
Your ex-wife had a different story when she told me why she left you.
90
She said you had a chip on your shoulder because everything you ever got came from Daddy.
91
Now, you may not think this is true anymore.
92
You said yourself you're not an expert,
93
but you hire them to advise you,
94
run your companies and fight your battles.
95
Tonight, it's you, me, and that stack of chips.
96
Let's play.
97
You think he can bait me into calling you when you got me beat.
98
You're gonna have to do better than that.
99
You're right, Tommy.
100
I do have you beat.
101
These sh** cards, they don't have anything to do with it.
102
After that, he was on tilt, never recovered.
103
It took me 20 minutes to bust him.
104
Are you out of your goddamn mind?
105
How fast did you want me to beat him?
106
Sorry, Harvey.
107
Pilates is on Wednesdays.
108
You and I are gonna go.
109
And when we're done, you're gonna admit to me what you did.
110
Oh, I've done a lot of things, Harvey.
111
Well, I wanna know why you settled.
112
You know damn well why I settled.
113
No, I don't.
114
I wanna know about you and Hardman.
115
You're gonna answer my questions,
116
or I'm gonna kick your ass.
117
I'm not doing the one,
118
and you can't do the other.
119
I can, and you will.
120
All right, let's go.
121
As long as it takes.
122
I win, you talk.
123
You lose, I don't.
124
Why'd you settle?
125
I declined to answer.
126
Why'd you settle?
127
I declined to answer.
128
I'm gonna die.
129
I can't alone.
130
Nice!
131
H-O-R-S.
132
That means you get an E, you lose.
133
Thank you, I can spell.
134
Too bad you can't shoot.
135
Crumpled paper.
136
Winners don't blame the ball or the rim or the wind speed in a closed-off room.
137
The fan was on.
138
Excuses don't win championships.
139
Oh, yeah, did Michael Jordan tell you that?
140
No, I told him.
141
Come on!
142
All right. That was going in.
143
We're in the middle of the game!
144
If you two are playing horse,
145
then one of you needs to thank me.
146
Thank you.
147
Pussies.
148
Out.
149
Would you like to finish this game?
150
Winner gets to be named partner.
151
You guys playing cards?
152
You're out of your league.
153
This game is for real players.
154
Why don't I give it a try?
155
The buy-in is 25,000.
156
What's the limit?
157
There is no limit.
158
Maybe I am out of my league.
159
I want some more.
160
Raise $45,000.
161
I'm putting you all in.
162
I've seen guys like you before.
163
You think if you bully me with your big stack,
164
I'm gonna run and hide.
165
Here's the difference between you and me, Jimbo.
166
I lose, I pull out another 25 grand,
167
and another 25 after that.
168
You lose, you got nothing.
169
You're bluffing.
170
Then call, or get up and walk away.
171
Okay, but I've sat across from you a thousand times before.
172
You won't walk.
173
I'm just a kid and you're the only killer score.
174
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah.
175
Tough beat.
176
Take your winnings.
177
What winnings?
178
I don't get it.
179
How could I have guessed this?
180
They didn't go to batting cages and a few good men.
181
No, but Tom Cruise says he can think better with his bat.
182
There is no way I could have guessed that.
183
All right.
184
Give me the cliff notes.
185
Two months ago, Polycode versus K-Systems.
186
Jury ruled in favor of Polycode.
187
Rawls overturned the case on its merits.
188
Let me guess.
189
Whoever's representing Polycode found out that Rawls has a ton of money in K-Systems.
190
Exactly.
191
But I talked to our finance guy,
192
and he says it's in a trust,
193
it's blind, and he's willing to put it in writing.
194
Who's repping Polyco?
195
Smith and Devane.
196
Well, they're not idiots.
197
They've got to figure that we can find proof like that.
198
Yeah, so the only question is,
199
why do they think they have a shot?
200
Wait a second.
201
What if they don't think they have a shot?
202
What are you talking about?
203
You said you didn't want to represent Rawls because it could affect another case we might try.
204
She gets put in review.
205
She's gonna be kicked off the bench for six months.
206
Holy shit.
207
They want her off so she won't find against a different client in an upcoming case.
208
Which means if we can get her to recuse herself from whatever the case is...
209
So drop this bull shit like a hot potato.
210
Well, look at that.
211
I am having fun.
212
Now I'm having even more fun because you hit like a monkey trying to have sex with a buffalo.
213
What kind of nature films did you watch as a kid?
214
I didn't watch any.
215
I was too busy learning how to hit a baseball.
216
Lewis.
217
Steven.
218
I have to say, I didn't actually think you put your money where your mouth is.
219
Well, I hope tonight shows I want to make a promise to a client, I keep it.
220
A potential client.
221
Right.
222
But I'll tell you what,
223
if you can take my money tonight,
224
you'll be that much closer to signing me.
225
Why don't we just have a seat?
226
Don't mind if I do.
227
Why be?
228
What are you doing here?
229
I was in the neighborhood.
230
I had an extra 100,000 burning a hole in my pocket,
231
and I thought to myself,
232
why not show you gentlemen how to play some cards?
233
You think he can take my money?
234
I don't know, but I'm sure Louis can't.
235
You don't mind, do you, Louis?
236
No, of course not.
237
I don't mind at all.
238
Ray's 10,000.
239
You're bluffing.
240
No, that's what he does, Steven.
241
Not me.
242
Call.
243
I don't care whether either you're bluffing or not, Not because...
244
I have a flush.
245
Whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast, Steven.
246
I just happen to have a few queens reigning over a couple of tens.
247
Bullshit.
248
You beat me on the river.
249
Well, be that as it may,
250
you had a 4% chance of having a flush.
251
Hot odds were in my favor, river or not.
252
I made the right call.
253
I made the right call.
254
Okay, I need a drink.
255
Lewis, can I talk to you for a second? About what?
256
The fact that I'm beating your ass in a game you didn't even think I knew how to play?
257
You don't know how to play him, Lewis.
258
Poker's about playing the man.
259
Guys like Palmer don't like to lose.
260
Oh, please.
261
You don't give a shit about Palmer.
262
You're just mad that I beat you.
263
Beat me?
264
I just had a four of a kind.
265
But I laid it down like I've been laying down all night because I'm trying to let him win.
266
Bullshit.
267
You don't let anybody win.
268
I do when I need them to know I can bend a knee.
269
Well, then why the hell didn't you bend a knee to me by not coming here like I asked?
270
You didn't ask.
271
You ordered.
272
What you asked was for me to close this guy because I'm better at it than you.
273
Let me get this straight.
274
You were going to throw a game he didn't know you through just to prove you can bend a knee.
275
He'd know it in his heart and he'd appreciate it.
276
I say it out loud,
277
it humiliates him like you're doing.
278
No Harvey, the person I'm humiliating is you because I am closing the client,
279
taking your money, and you can't stand me doing either one.
280
If that's what you think,
281
then let's get it on.
282
Because as of this minute,
283
I don't give a shit if we land this guy or not.
284
Okay Harvey, just you and me now.
285
Tell you the truth, Lewis,
286
I'm impressed that you lasted this long.
287
So why don't you take your participation trophy and go home?
288
The only thing I'll be going home with tonight is your money.
289
You two always fight like this?
290
Think of it this way, Stephen.
291
If I fight like this at the table,
292
imagine how I fight in the courtroom.
293
No, Stephen, please don't listen to him.
294
The only thing Harvey fights hardest for is himself.
295
Raise $50,000.
296
$50,000 isn't enough.
297
I'm all in.
298
Now, Lewis, before you decide how to play the hand that could clean you out,
299
I want you to think of our entire history.
300
Of me always winning and you always losing.
301
And when you finish doing that,
302
you'll realize that it doesn't really matter what you do because whatever it is,
303
it's going to be the wrong decision.
304
See, that's exactly what I was talking about.
305
All I had was 10 high.
306
Not only did you lose,
307
but you have to sit here on tilt for the rest of the night
308
while I take the rest of your money Because like I said,
309
poker isn't about playing the odds.
310
It's about playing the man.
311
All I have to say, that was impressive.
312
Well, Steven, I didn't beat him to impress you.
313
I beat him because that's what I do.
314
I don't follow orders.
315
I don't bend a knee.
316
I win.
317
So if that's the kind of lawyer you want,
318
good luck with your business.
319
Now, if you'll excuse me,
320
we've got Lewis's money to take.
321
Whatever it is, I am tired of talking.
322
We're not talking.
323
We're going.
324
Right now.
325
I'm not fighting you.
326
Yeah, you are.
327
You've been talking about it since the day you got here.
328
Now you're pissed and you said you wanted to put me through a wall.
329
Well, here I am.
330
You're damn right I want to put you through a wall, but not today.
331
You feel awful about what you did,
332
and I don't want any excuses when I kick your ass.
333
There aren't going to be any excuses because I'm not going to need them.
334
Get out of my face.
335
I'm not going anywhere.
336
Watch yourself.
337
You're in the ring with the man who's responsible for disbarring your mentor.
338
I'm warning you.
339
The man who put his needs in front of yours.
340
You don't want to do this.
341
The man who decided his love life was more important.
342
I guess it's on.
343
I guess it is.
344
Ready to dunk?
345
Oh, I'm just getting started.
346
I'm surprised you have the strength to pick that up.
347
Me?
348
I'm surprised you can sit after I kicked your ass.
349
You didn't kick anything.
350
But I'll admit, you did pretty good for a guy in his 70s.
351
Hey, those are fighting words.
352
You want to go again?
353
No. No. Me neither.
354
Look, if you want me to give up my clients to Calder, I will.
355
But is that what Robert would want?
356
No. It's not what I want, either.
357
And what is?
358
We fight for his clients.
359
We keep who we can keep,
360
but his name stays up no matter what.
361
I can move to that.
362
So can I.

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.
