Also, here's a good one.
Context:
An American gay person, Michael Corrigan, is arrested in Russia for promoting his homosexuality ideas in public, which is not allowed by law in Russia. The First Lady of the US, also a UN ambassador, is trying to convince Corrigan to read a statement, every word of which he is against, for his release. The following is a speech made by the First Lady, after much wasted effort and reasoning with Corrigan. Patrov mentioned in the speech is the name of the Russian President.
It's a well-written speech, and she enunciates every syllable of it. See if you can transcribe the whole speech.

First Lady: Michael, let me tell you what's going to happen if you refuse to make this statement. You'll help no one. 本帖隐藏的内容In fact, life will get worse for the others you were arrested with. Patrov will feel embarrassed. He'll arrest more people. He will pass worse laws. He's not going to let some American homosexual dictate his policy. This man is ruthless. You think he's gonna become reasonable suddenly when all of this falls apart? You are being naive! And you're letting other people suffer because of it. Don't undo what you fought so hard for.
Corrigan: You think you can shame me? Well, you can't.
First Lady: I'm giving you the truth! I don't care how that makes you feel. But do yourself a favor of hearing what I said.
Corrigan: I heard you.
First Lady: I hope so.
Corrigan: I can't betray myself for what I'll be then.
First Lady: You'd be a politician, and that's what you are. Let the others do all the yelling and screaming. You want change? Then learn how to compromise! Be a fucking adult about this, Michael!
Corrigan: I need to think, ok? I need time.
