I think that the sentence has correct intonation, but we also know that the learners know that the text-to-speech intonation is often wrong. We discussed it a bit and decided to list "nie chcecie słuchać" as a homophone of this sentence just to be on the safe side. But the homophones are only uploaded by staff once a few months, so it will take a longer time before this is added.

Oh ok, thanks, that is a grammatical construct we haven't yet encountered here. What do you call that?
I think that this is equivalent of subjunctive in Romance Languages:

Lech Wałęsa famously said "nie chcem, ale muszem" ("muszem" should also be spelled and pronounced "muszę"). People still repeat this quote, even if they are too young to remember. Wałęsa was famous for texts like that, there is even a separate wikipedia page about them: https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wa%C5%82%C4%99sizm
