1
You got a job?
2
Are you kidding?
3
I'm trained for nothing.
4
I was laughed at 12 interviews today.
5
And yet you're surprisingly upbeat.
6
Well, you would be too if you found Joan and David Boots on sale, 50% off.
7
Oh, how well you know me.
8
They're my new, I don't need a job, I don't need my parents, I've got great Boots Boots.
9
How'd you pay for them?
10
A credit card.
11
And who pays for that?
12
Um, my father.
13
Come on, you can't live off your parents your whole life.
14
I know that.
15
That's why I was getting married.
16
Give her a break.
17
It's hard being on your own for the first time.
18
Thank you.
19
You're welcome.
20
I remember when I first came to this city, I was 14.
21
My mom had just killed herself, and my stepdad was back in prison.
22
And I got here, and I didn't help anybody.
23
And I ended up living with this albino guy who was, like, cleaning windshields outside Port Authority and then he killed himself.
24
And then I found aromatherapy.
25
So believe me, I know exactly how you feel.
26
The word you're looking for is...
27
Anyway.
28
All right.
29
You ready?
30
I don't think so.
31
Oh, come on.
32
Cut.

49
Hey!
50
Hey!
51
Welcome to the real world.
52
It sucks.
53
You're gonna love it.
54
I can't believe what I'm hearing here.
55
I can't believe what I'm hearing here.
56
What?
57
I said you had any...
58
What?
59
I said you had... Would you stop?
60
Oh, was I doing it again?
61
Yes.
62
Yes.
63
Would anybody like more coffee?
64
Did you make it, or are you just serving it?
65
I'm just serving it.
66
Yeah, I'll have a cup of coffee.
67
Kids, new dream.
68
I'm in Las Vegas.
69
I'm Liza Minnelli.
70
Hey, Phoebe.
71
Hey, oh, how'd it go?
72
Um, not so good.
73
He walked me to the subway and said, we should do this again.
74
Oh.
75
What?
76
He said we should do it again.
77
That's good, right?
78
Uh, no. Loosely translated, we should do this again, means you will never see me naked. Since when? Since always.
79
It's like dating language.
80
You know, like, it's not you means it is you.
81
Or you're such a nice guy means I'm gonna be dating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you.
82
Or, you know, I think we should see other people means I already am. And everybody knows this.
83
Oh, yeah.
84
Cushions to blow.
85
Yeah, it's like when you're a kid
86
and your parents put your dog to sleep and they tell you it went off to live on some farm.
87
That's funny.
88
No, because our parents actually did send our dog off to live on a farm.
89
Uh, Ross?
90
What?
91
Hello?
92
The Milner's farm in Connecticut?
93
The Milner's, they had this unbelievable farm.
94
They had horses and then rabbits that he could chase, and it would...
95
Oh, my God.
96
Cheat-cheat.
97
Decaf cappuccino for Joey.
98
Coffee black.
99
Latte. And a nice tea.
100
I'm getting pretty good at this.
101
Excellent.
102
Good for me.
103
Rachel?
104
Oh, my God!
105
I swear I've seen birds do this on Wild Kingdom.
106
What are you guys doing here?
107
Well, we were in the city shopping, and your mom said you work here, and it's true.
108
Look at you in the apron.
109
You look like you're in a play.
110
God, look at you.
111
You are so big.
112
I can't believe it.
113
I know.
114
I know.
115
I'm a duplex.
116
So what's going on with you?
117
Well, guess what my dad's making partner in his firm.
118
No. Well, we're on the subject of news.
119
Look, look, I have elbows.
120
Look at the window.
121
There's my name.
122
Hi, me.
123
I remember the day I got my first paycheck.
124
There was a cave-in in one of the mines, and eight people were killed.
125
Wow, you worked in a mine?
126
I worked in a Dairy Queen mine.
127
Oh, God, isn't this exciting?
128
I earned this.
129
I wiped tables for it, I steamed milk for it, and it was totally.. not worth it.
130
Who's FICA?
131
Why's he getting all my money?
132
I mean, what?
133
Chandler, look at that.
134
Oh, this is not that bad.
135
Oh, you're fine.
136
Yeah, for a first job, you can totally, totally live on this.
137
Oh, yeah.
138
Yeah.
139
Hey, by the way, great service to me.
140
Oh, yeah, yeah.
141
Oh, excellent.
142
Uh, Central Perk is proud to present the music of Miss Phoebe Buffay.
143
Whoo!
144
Thanks.
145
Hi.
146
Um, I want to start with a song.
147
I want to start with a song that's about that moment when you suddenly realize what life is really all about.
148
Okay, here we go.
149
Okay, thank you very much.
150
What?
151
Oh, great.
152
This is just...
153
Terry, I know that I haven't worked here very long,
154
but I was wondering, do you think it would be possible if I got a hundred dollar advance on my salary?
155
An advance?
156
It's so that I can spend Thanksgiving with my family.
157
See, every year we go skiing in Vail, and normally my father pays a lot of money.
158
Normally, my father pays for my ticket, but I've sort of started this whole independent thing, you know, which is actually why I took this job.
159
Rachel, Rachel, sweetheart, you're a terrible, terrible waitress.
160
Really, really awful.
161
Okay, I hear what you're saying.
162
I'm with you.
163
But I'm trying really hard, and I think I'm doing better.
164
I really do. Does anybody need coffee?
165
Yeah, over here.
166
Yeah, I do.
167
Oh, Rach, we're running low on resumes over here.
168
Do you really want a job with popular mechanics?
169
Well, if you're gonna work for mechanics, Those are the ones to work for.
170
Hey, look, you guys.
171
I'm going for anything here, okay?
172
I cannot be a waitress anymore.
173
I mean it.
174
I'm sick of the lousy tips.
175
Sick of being called excuse me.
176
Rich, did you proofread these?
177
Uh, yeah.
178
Why?
179
Uh, nothing.
180
I'm sure they'll be impressed with your excellent computer skills.
181
Oh, my God!
182
Oh, do you think it's on all of them?
183
Oh, no, I'm sure the Xerox machine caught a fuel.
184
I was doing great with Julie before I found out about you.
185
Hey, I was doing great before I found out about you.
186
You think it's easy for me to see you with Julie?
187
Well, then you should have said something before I met her.
188
I didn't know then.
189
And how come you never said anything to me?
190
There was never a good time.
191
Right, because you only had a year, and we only hung out every night.
192
Not, not, not every night.
193
You know, and-and it's not like I didn't try, Rachel, but, oh, things got in the way, you know, like-like Italian guys,
194
or ex-fiancés, or-or-or Italian guys.
195
Hey, there was one Italian guy, okay?
196
And do you even have a point?
197
The point is, I-I don't need this right now, okay?
198
It's-it's too late.
199
I'm with somebody else.
200
I'm happy.
201
This ship has sailed.
202
Okay, so what do you say?
203
You just sort of put away feelings, or whatever the hell it was that you felt for me.
204
Hey, I've been doing it since the ninth grade.
205
I've gotten pretty damn good at it.
206
All right, fine.
207
You go ahead and you do that, all right, Ross?
208
All right, all right.
209
I don't need your stupid shit.
210
Good. And you know what?
211
Now I got closure.
212
Oh!
213
Oh, my God.
214
I'm not sure what you're doing.
215
Try the bottom one.
216
Okay, here we go.
217
Honey, I'm sorry.
218
They were all out of apple pie.
219
Someone just got the last piece.
220
Oh, God.
221
Ross, okay, if you care about me at all, you'll get the pie out of the man's hood.
222
Get the what?
223
There's a pie in the hood.
224
Pie in the hood.
225
Go.
226
What are you doing?
227
I'm sorry.
228
My pie was.. was in your hood.
229
Now I just have to get the coffee out of that guy's pants and I'll be back in the hospital by 7.
230
Okay, Chandler and Mon, there's only one banana nut muffin left.
231
Oh, well, I ordered mine first.
232
Yeah, but I'm...
233
I'm so much faster.
234
Give it to me.
235
No. Give it to me.
236
Okay, you can have it.
237
There you go.
238
Enjoy your coffee.
239
That was there when I got here.
240
Hey, you guys.
241
You will never guess who's coming to New York.
242
Quick, Phoebe, tell us before you can swallow.
243
Oh, okay.
244
Ryan, that guy I went out with, who's in the Navy?
245
You went out with a guy in the Navy?
246
Yeah, I met him when I was playing guitar in Washington Square Park.
247
Ryan threw in saltwater taffy because he didn't have any change.
248
Hey, is that when you wrote saltwater taffy, man?
249
No. No, he is my submarine guy.
250
He resurfaces, like, every couple years, and we have the most amazing three days together.
251
Only this time, he's coming for two weeks.
252
Two whole weeks, which means yay!
253
So wait, this guy goes down for like two years at a time?
254
Mm-mm.
255
That'll teach you to lick my muffin.
256
Hey!
257
Hi.
258
Oh, no, what happened?
259
I just spoke to Carol.
260
Ben's got the chicken pox.
261
Oh, no. Yeah, so if you haven't already had it, chances are you're gonna get it.
262
Well, I've had it.
263
Yeah, I've had it. Had it. Had it.
264
I feel so left out.
265
Oh, look!
266
When you have a second later, I want to show you why we don't just trap spiders under coffee mugs and leave them there.
267
I'm training to be better at a job that I hate.
268
My life officially sucks.
269
But, Rach, wasn't it supposed to be a temporary thing?
270
I thought you wanted to do fashion stuff.
271
Well, yeah, I'm still pursuing that.
272
How exactly are you pursuing that?
273
You know, other than sending out resumes like, uh, what, two years ago?
274
Well, I'm also sending out good thoughts.
275
If you ask me, as long as you got this job, you got nothing pushing you to get another one.
276
You need the fear.
277
The fear?
278
He's right.
279
If you quit this job, you then have motivation to go after a job you really want.
280
Well, then how come you're still at a job that you hate?
281
I mean, why don't you quit and get the fear? Because I'm too afraid.
282
I don't know.
283
I mean, I would give anything to work for a designer, you know, or a buyer.
284
Ugh, I just don't want to be 30 and still work here.
285
Yeah, that'd be much worse than being 28 and still working here.
286
Rachel?
287
Yeah?
288
Remind me to review with you which pot is decaf and which is regular.
289
Can't I just look at the handles on them?
290
You would think.
291
Okay, fine.
292
Gunther, you know what?
293
I am a terrible waitress.
294
Do you know why I am a terrible waitress?
295
Because I don't care.
296
I don't care.
297
I don't care which pot is regular and which pot is decaf.
298
I don't care where the tray spot is.
299
I just don't care.
300
This is not what I want to do.
301
So I don't think I should do it anymore.
302
I'm gonna give you my week's notice.
303
What?
304
Gunther, I quit.
305
Does this mean we're gonna have to start paying for coffee?
306
Ross, listen, now, you want anything to drink?
307
Because I'm heading up there.
308
Uh, yeah, I'll take a coffee.
309
Thanks, man.
310
Sure.
311
Coffee?
312
Huh?
313
Coffee?
314
Because I'm going up there.
315
Oh, no, thank you.
316
Okay.
317
You guys need anything?
318
Because I'm heading up there.
319
I'd love, uh, ice water.
320
You got it.
321
Joey, what are you doing?
322
Just being friendly.
323
Joey, I don't think you're supposed to go back there.
324
Uh, it's okay.
325
Right, Gutter?
326
Don't wink at me.
327
You put on your apron.
328
Okay.
329
I don't see you asking any other paying customers to put on aprons.
330
Joey, do you work here?
331
No. Waiter.
332
Yeah.
333
Joey, what's going on?
334
Why didn't you tell us you work here?
335
Well, it's kind of embarrassing, you know?
336
I mean, I was an actor.
337
Now I'm a waiter.
338
It's supposed to go in the other direction. So is your apron.
339
You're wearing it like a cape.
340
I mean, the job's easy and the money's good, you know?
341
And I guess if I'm gonna be hanging out here anyway, I might as well get paid for it, right?
342
I just feel kind of weird serving you guys, you know?
343
Yeah, really?
344
Joey, come on.
345
I did it and it was fine.
346
Yeah, why would it be weird?
347
Hey, Joey, uh, can I get some coffee?
348
Okay, I guess it doesn't seem that weird.
349
Seriously, I asked you before, you still haven't gotten it.
350
See, now it's weird again.
351
I think it's great that you work here.
352
You're gonna make a lot of money, and here's your first tip.
353
Donny Yellow Snow.
354
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, 215 Coffee House.
355
Well, you know what?
356
This is great.
357
Finally, I have someone I can pass on my wisdom to.
358
Let me tell you about a couple things I learned while working at the coffee house.
359
Um, first of all, the customer is always right.
360
A smile goes a long way.
361
And if anyone is ever rude to you, sneeze muffin.
362
Thanks, Rach.
363
Hey, you guys are just terrific, you know?
364
Now, how about clearing out of here so I can get some new customers, huh?
365
It's all about turnover.
366
Joey, seriously, can I get my coffee?
367
I'm sorry, Ross.
368
I'll get it for you right now.
369
And since I made you wait, I'll toss in a free muffin.
370
That's muffin and espresso, $4.50.
371
Ross, double latte, $2.75.
372
Chandler, coffee and scone, $4.25.
373
And Phoebe's herbal tea, $1.25.
374
So, altogether, that's $12.75.
375
This is coming from the man who couldn't split our $80 phone bill in half.
376
Hi.
377
Hi.
378
How much do I owe for the muffin and latte?
379
Oh, that's on the house, courtesy of Joey Tribbiani.
380
Oh, great.
381
Well, tell him thanks.
382
And since, uh, Joey seems like such a nice guy, maybe we could go on a date sometime.
383
Well, he's not used to women being so forward, but, uh, I could check with him.
384
He says it's okay.
385
Great, thanks.
386
Bye-bye.
387
Hey, Joey, how come our stuff isn't free?
388
It will be when you look like that in a tight skirt.
389
This is great.
390
I'm getting more dates than ever.
391
Wait a minute.
392
Joey, you're only giving away free stuff to the pretty girls?
393
Joey, that is so gross!
394
How about a scone on the house, baby?
395
I'm pretty.
396
What do you mean?
397
Yesterday you said I was too pretty to pay for stuff.
398
It's just I can't because my manager said that I...
399
Happy birthday to you.
400
Happy birthday to you.
401
Happy birthday, dear Annie.
402
Amy.
403
Amy.
404
Happy birthday to you.
405
Hey.
406
Hey, that's weird.
407
Today's my birthday too.
408
Yeah, not in here it isn't.
409
Happy birthday to you.
410
You're paying for that.
411
What?
412
No, no, it's her birthday.
413
You've sung happy birthday to 20 different women today.
414
But it really...
415
You are no longer authorized to distribute birthday muffins.
416
Damn it!
417
Hey, take these cappuccinos to table 11, and that guy over there wants some biscotti.
418
Oh, uh, well, I just actually came in for a cup of coffee to go.
419
Do you still work here?
420
No, no, I quit a long time.
421
No, I quit a long time ago.
422
Did I forget to tell you that?
423
I'm sorry.
424
That's cool.
425
I was gonna fire you anyway.
426
Great!

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
