17
AHHHHH!!!!
18
Michael Scott, Head of Sales.
19
You gotta do something, man.
20
You can't just sit there.
21
Hey.
22
Hey.
23
You know, it's funny.
24
I used to stand in here and wish I was out there.
25
Now I'm out there and I wish I was in here.
26
Well, the grass is always greener.
27
Yeah, except there's no grass out there.
28
It's just a farty dirt patch.
29
Well, it's what you wanted.
30
I really need my job back.
31
We made a terrible mistake here.
32
For the record, I fought this, all right?
33
And now, I'm not really sure what we do.
34
We make a poster that says, Happy Opposite Day, and she sees it on the way out.
35
That's stupid.
36
Oh, I wish we had one of those amnesia flashlights for Men in Black.
37
Just...
38
Hey, what was that movie where their boss was within earshot and they could have just gone and talked to her?
39
Lethal Weapon?
40
That's it.
41
I think we should do it with the Lethal Weapon line.
42
You two are grown-ass men.
43
What do I have to do?
44
Fire you and get two people in here who don't need so much management?
45
What?
46
What I say...
47
Michael's saying that he's better at being a manager, and I agree, because he's a better people person, weirdly.
48
And weirdly, I'm a good dog person.
49
Right guys?
50
See?
51
They love me.
52
Fine.
53
I don't care which one of you does which job.
54
Just stop meeting with me to talk about it.
55
Alright, alright.
56
Oh, I gotta take this.
57
Yep.
58
Finish walking my dogs for me.
59
And don't ride them.
60
A lot of people try to ride them.
61
Well, well, well.
62
Hmm.
63
Boss for.. what was it?
64
Oh, four and a half hours?
65
New record.
66
Whoa.
67
Previous record?
68
Henry Rosten.
69
Lost for nine years, four months, and he only left because he had family matters to attend to, and he...
70
What?
71
Michael?
72
Okay, that's what I'm talking about.
73
Big money, big money.
74
Yeah!
75
Mug duty?
76
Yes, you clean all the mugs in the sink.
77
This sucks.
78
Yeah, seriously, it's like everything on there's work.
79
I don't think you guys understand why we're doing this.
80
Yeah, and I don't think that you understand wheels.
81
I've been through several rounds of development with the team, and here's where we stand with the chore wheel.
82
We've got prizes.
83
Ten bucks, candy bar, manager for an hour, but there are also penalties.
84
I'm sure Robert will be with you as soon as he gets in.
85
That one looks empty.
86
No, it's Indy's office.
87
Oh, is it?
88
I have one simple philosophy in business.
89
If the seat is open, the job is open.
90
It's how I came to briefly race a Formula One car.
91
The three slowest laps ever recorded.
92
So, what is going on?
93
That does seem to be the question, doesn't it?
94
Hey, this is messed up, bro.
95
Who is this weird lady?
96
I know.
97
It's a lot.
98
So who knows what's going on?
99
Anyone?
100
You?
101
Yes.
102
Wait, I am very good at intuiting names. Is it...chumbo?
103
Jim, time for your review.
104
No, it's not, because you don't really work here.
105
Why are you so staunchly defending your friend who has abandoned you?
106
Wouldn't you rather come talk with me, maybe definitely get a raise?
107
See, that's the thing.
108
I don't know if you can even give raises.
109
Jim, have you ever heard of a character named Tinkerbell?
110
Yes.
111
I'm Tinkerbell.
112
Hello.
113
Mm-hmm.
114
I'm a magical fairy who floated into your office to bring a little bit of magic into your lives, to give you all raises.
115
And we are grateful.
116
But here's the thing about Tinkerbell, Jim.
117
Everyone has to believe in her, or she doesn't exist.
118
No, she dies.
119
She dies.
120
Now, who here believes in Tinkerbell?
121
Let's see it.
122
Show of hands.
123
I do.
124
Come on, everyone!
125
All right, guys, stop.
126
I already spent the money.
127
Hi.
128
Come on Tim you're killing her.
129
We believe.
130
We believe.
131
Look at this wonderful recognition of Nellie's leadership.
132
I believe.
133
After you make it sir.
134
The search committee finally decided after a lot of deliberation deliberation
135
on Robert California for the manager position who took one look around
136
and left he drove down to Florida
137
and convinced Joe to make him CEO CEO her own job he talked her out of her own job
138
and I don't really know how someone does that but anyway then the position was his to fill and he chose I...
139
It's unbelievable.
140
True, I may have been the second choice, but I was the first choice's first choice.
141
And about Dwight, I sensed that he might have some resentment about not getting the job, so I sat him down, we had a talk, and I told him, I need a really strong number two.
142
I want you to be my enforcer.
143
Smart, right?
144
Very smart.
145
This has got to stop.
146
I can't get down.
147
Hey.
148
Hey, so we saw the new billboard.
149
Yeah, pretty cool, huh?
150
What better way to announce our new slightly lower prices than with an ad campaign?
151
And what better face for an ad campaign than our new regional manager?
152
How'd it look?
153
You've seen it, right?
154
No. Andy, somebody defaced it.
155
What?
156
How?
157
Morning, Stanley.
158
There's this thing that people tend to do with billboards that people tend to do with billboards.
159
How do I put this?
160
If there's an opportunity for a graffiti artist to work in a phallic shape, interacting with the artwork, it'll happen.
161
And Andy gave them that opportunity.
162
Aaron, how long did we order those billboards for?
163
Six months.
164
Oh, good.
165
I need you to call the billboard company.
166
Great billboard.
167
Funny, edgy, right up to the line without crossing it.
168
Loved it.
169
Which one did you see?
170
Washington Street.
171
The one with like 20 dongs on it.
172
Okay, don't be gross.
173
What's going on?
174
Somebody deface the billboards we just put out in an inappropriate way.
175
Oh, that's funny.
176
Wade.
177
From the photo shoot with you and me?
178
Yeah, Dwight!
179
No...
180
No...
181
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
182
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
183
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
184
No!
185
So, coasting time is officially over.
186
Big changes are coming, and they're coming fast.
187
And if you don't like them, this is called a door.
188
You can walk right through it.
189
Alright?
190
I'm not here to be your friend.
191
I like my life outside of this place.
192
I live to leave at 5.
193
Change number one, Daryl, per your request, The company is sending you to business school at night.
194
Full ride.
195
Deal with it.
196
Seriously?
197
Stone cold seriously.
198
They are trying to figure me out, and I don't like it.
199
Once they figure me out, they start to tell me what I want to hear.
200
And I need to quickly figure out who's a good worker and who is simply a good mind reader.
201
Because as soon as I'm hearing what I want to hear, I'm not going to care.
202
Change to Toby, you're getting a new chair.
203
Thanks.
204
Don't thank me.
205
Hey, don't thank me, guy.
206
Okay?
207
And I don't care if you like it.
208
These sound like good ideas.
209
Why wouldn't we like them?
210
I don't care what your favorite flavor is.
211
Here's a bowl of ice cream.
212
You either like it or you don't.
213
That's my attitude right now in this room.
214
That's my attitude on Ice Cream Thursdays.
215
All right?
216
Clear?
217
Any questions?
218
Any questions?
219
This all sounds great to me.
220
But I could see how some people might think that they're bad.
221
I don't know what to think.
222
That is an astute observation, Kevin.
223
Kev's got me pegged.
224
Kevin, you do it.
225
Yes.
226
What are you doing?
227
Okay.
228
Here?
229
Someone want to sit in Kevin's lap?
230
Angela?
231
No. Oscar?
232
No thank you.
233
Okay, Jimmy, this is for you to show you that anything is possible.
234
Fantastic.
235
Right?
236
Yep.
237
This is also for the troops.
238
Doctor is in!
239
Now what?
240
How will your experience selling refinery equipment translate to our smaller scale here?
241
You don't work in sales, do you?
242
Human resources.
243
You see, I sit across from a man.
244
I see his face.
245
I see his eyes.
246
Now, does it matter if he wants $100 of paper or a hundred million dollars of deep sea drilling equipment.
247
Don't be a fool.
248
He wants respect.
249
He wants love.
250
He wants to be younger.
251
He wants to be attractive.
252
There is no such thing as a product.
253
Don't ever think there is.
254
There is only sex.
255
Everything is sex.
256
Do you understand that what I'm telling you is a universal truth, Toby?
257
Yes.
258
Okay, I'm almost a little concerned that you might be overqualified for the position.
259
Do you think that you are?
260
Do I look like someone who would waste my own time?
261
No. You are a man of great confidence.
262
Could you speak a little more to that?
263
And what the role of confidence...
264
would be in a dialogue with a support?
265
Will you be heard?
266
Will you have a voice?
267
Will I steamroll over you?
268
Do you feel heard right now, Jim?
269
Do you have a voice right now?
270
You can answer me.
271
Yeah.
272
That was your choice, not mine.
273
The fallacy is that it is up to the steamroller.
274
It is up to the object whether it will be flattened or not.
275
And I can tell just from the small interaction we've had already, you won't be flattened by anybody.
276
Do you agree with me, Jim?
277
Yes.
278
Yes, you do.
279
I declare...
280
Bankruptcy!
281
People say I am the best boss.
282
They go, God, we've never worked in a place like this before.
283
You're hilarious.
284
And you get the best out of us.
285
Um...
286
I think that pretty much sums it up.
287
I found it at Spencer Gifts.
288
There are 13 people working in this office, so 13 times a year,
289
Michael gets a cake and balloons and some sort of joke gift and makes a toast.
290
And there are two types of toasts.
291
One is a joke about how old you are.
292
Look at those wrinkles.
293
Blacks do crack.
294
Not crack the drug.
295
And the other is something inappropriate or horrible. Or both.
296
What else?
297
He only sings the high harmony to happy birthday.
298
And he is a very big believer in surprise parties.
299
Maybe even arguably, possibly to a fault.
300
Happy birthday!
301
Happy birthday!
302
Happy birthday!
303
Happy birthday!
304
So I think, yeah, I think getting these out of the way might be productive.
305
Well, if you take a look at this, I tented my pants.
306
I've made myself a nice pants tent shelter.
307
And this little guy may be done under Mifflin paper someday.
308
Nothing to worry about, just using the scope.
309
Safety is.. on.
310
Unfortunately a flock of birds has eaten the bait that I put out so I've had to turn elsewhere to find sustenance.
311
And under this tree I think I struck the mother lode.
312
These are nature's best mushrooms.
313
Wild.
314
And I have to say, these little buggers are damn tasty as well.
315
No!
316
No!
317
No, Michael!
318
No!
319
No!
320
No!
321
Give him up!
322
Dude, there is no way that Jim is just back here to hang out with Pam.
323
Oh, you did not just say that.
324
You don't know Pam.
325
She is really cool.
326
All I'm saying is forget about my chair.
327
He wants the manager's chair.
328
I thought you wanted that job.
329
Yeah, I did.
330
But I made too many mistakes.
331
It's out of my reach now.
332
Besides, I think Jim would be a fine manager.
333
I'd be happy to see Jim as manager.
334
So, the reason I called you in here is because Andy is moving on.
335
Again.
336
Again.
337
And I'm looking for a new manager.
338
And with his performance this year, I have been considering Dwight. Am I crazy?
339
Not at all.
340
It should be Dwight.
341
You sure?
342
You're gonna want to invest in a lot more liability insurance, but, uh...
343
Hey, if there's someone who loves paper more than Dwight, I definitely don't want to meet that person.
344
Say it again.
345
Will you be the new manager? Where? Where?
346
What branch?
347
Here.
348
Scranton.
349
Come on.
350
Come on, Dwight.
351
Just get up.
352
Let's go.
353
It's good news.
354
I'm sorry.
355
I've just waited for this moment my entire life.
356
I mean, I was interim manager once, but then I shot that gun.
357
What?
358
But this isn't interim manager.
359
No. It's Dwight K.
360
Schrute.
361
Manager.
362
Why do you already have this?
363
In case Michael or Andy ever got killed in a traffic accident and it was a trade show on the same day.
364
You will not regret this decision, David.
365
No. I will never, ever let you down.
366
I know, Dwight.
367
I know.
368
Okay.
369
Okay.
370
All right.
371
You're gonna do great.
372
You three are my search committee.
373
You're in charge of finding me my next manager.
374
All righty?
375
Yep.
376
Yep.
377
Till then, we need a new acting manager.
378
Now, who's got the most experience in this office?
379
Uh, well, we probably don't want to go just on seniority.
380
Who is it?
381
Hey, Dwight.
382
What's up?
383
Shut up.
384
Okay, well, you do know that Joe was right to take the job away from me, right?
385
There's no debating that.
386
But I will say, in your one week, every single one of the orders went out on time.
387
And I think that is shagadelic, baby.
388
It's a beautiful morning at Dunder Mifflin, As I like to call it, Great Bratton.
389
Keep it running.
390
Do I love being manager?
391
I love my kids.
392
I love real estate.
393
I love ceramics.
394
I love my job.
395
I love wrestling.
396
Find out what language this is.
397
My family care.
398
The cloth near my star's emers.
399
These are bad stuff.
400
Okay, team building.
401
On this side of the room, Stanley, Phyllis, Jim, Phyllis, Jim, Ted, Elroy.
402
And this side of the room, Pam, Meredith, Phyllis, Creed.
403
He never called a meeting.
404
Bo-body, Bo-body.
405
What does the first B stand for?
406
What are we doing?
407
We're making acronyms.
408
Okay, what does the first B stand for?
409
Um, business.
410
I like it.
411
Business, good, Kevin.
412
All right, the O.
413
We need a new manager.
414
First of all, I want to thank you for your years of patronizing our company.
415
I've got some bad news.
416
We're going out of business.
417
Saving face.
418
Yep, yep.
419
I understand that.
420
Basically everything is falling apart here.
421
How is this on me?
422
Hang up.
423
Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.
424
Indel has told us there were at least seven.
425
Okay, I already see one.
426
Give me...
427
Okay.
428
They're the same picture.
429
Get me our biggest client on the phone right this instant.
430
Who is our biggest client?
431
Uh, just put him through to me.
432
Okay.
433
Hello, this is the client.
434
It's Creed.
435
FYI, I'm starting my own paper company.
436
Looking to poach some chumps.
437
You in?
438
Yes.
439
Cool.
440
Let's keep this on the QT, okay?
441
I want you to be a dead mama-jama.
442
Great.
443
Thank you.

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
