Newton's third law.

-What about it?

To each and every action

there's a reaction

equal in strength and

opposite in direction.

You sure?

-Sure l' m sure.

Look here. When two bodies

collide... -Worth a try.

What d'you mean?

T-o-n-i-g-h-t...

l wanted to tell

you something. -What?

l' m dying to make love

to you.

Me too.

But not here.

-No, not here.

My folks are going away.

We could go to my place.

You really mean that?

-Yeah.

Ronny. -Yes?

Good morning.

-Mornin' .

How do l look? -Washed out.

-Look closely!

Washed out why?

-You were out all night?

Yeah, right.

Last night l went

to some pub.

What a night...

the lay of my life.

She virtually raped me.

l swear. Right over there.

Omri...

-Right over there!

Omri! -What?

Where did you buy the...?

-What? -You know.

What? -You know.

-The condoms?

Orna's decided

to give out?

Not her. A guy asked me

to get him some.

Look, nobody uses condoms.

Only those guys going

to the whores use them.

Haven't touched them.

Tell her to go on the pill.

So, Orna's giving out now?

-lt's not Orna!

Alright, forget about it.

Forgotten already.

Hey, what's the big deal?

Here you are, Mrs. Fran.

l hope this helps you.

Thank you, Mr. Rosenberg.

My regards to your wife

and all the best.

-Thank you.

See you.

-See you!

Can l help you, sir?

-Who, me?

Do you need anything?

-Yes, yes.

l' m feeling awful.

Lately l've been feeling

that l' m like growing tall,

you know,

and l... Could you give me

something for...?

Cut the bull, sir.

What is it you want?

Some nasal drops.

-For you?

No, for my brother.

He has a terrible cold.

He's so sick he's...

Here you are. lnstructions

are inside. 30 shekels.

Nothing cheaper?

-30 shekels!

How about some ear drops?

But only a few. 2-3,

no more.

Go away, you moron!

See you again.

-No way!

Put this one

inside, too.

Good. Are you going

to be all right? -Yeah.

You promise?

-Yes.

You won't bother Ronny?

-No we won't.

Who are you going to call

every Friday? -Grandma.

Good. Don't forget,

you hear?

lt's very important.

Otherwise she gets offended.

Take care of Ronny.

See you soon!

-Yes!

Alone at last, eh?

Avner!

Come here!

Dad authorized me to kill

you and you know l' m strong.

How strong?

-How strong? Let's see.

That's how strong l am.

You can go now.

Judith, sit straight!

My bus. l gotta go.

7 o'clock?

-7 o'clock.

7 o'clock!

What time is it?

-1 8: 1 0.

'' We've sworn our love

'' At a moment

of weakness...''

What's the question?

-How many units in 2?

Gila? -Yes?

What's units?

-Single or plural?

Why, singles you know?

-Single is unit, right?

lt's pronounced differently.

-Differently, eh?

Arithmetics, right? -Mom,

where's my purple coat?

She put lipstick on!

-lt's no lipstick, dumbhead!

Where is it? -On the hanger

in the hall.

Orna, come here.

-What is it?

You going to Ronny's?

-Yes, why?

He promised me long ago

to bring Yaeli the

'' Crazy Chicken'' video.

Alright.

-No, he promised you.

Me, you, same thing.

As long as it's here.

OK, l' ll get it for you.

You look very pretty.

-And don't be late.

See you.

She did put lipstick on.

-So?

She never does.

Another round?

Dad, l have homework!

-OK. Just kidding.

And straight to bed!

Judith, you' re going

straight to bed

or you' re gonna get it.

Nighty-night.

You promised me a story!

-OK, alright.

Keep quiet.

Don't wake him up.

We were reading

'' Max and Moritz'' , right?

Their teacher was

a very wise man

so Max and Moritz decided

to set him up.

They put a bomb in his pipe

and he blew up. Bang!

Here, he's all black. Then

they took some cockroaches

and the miller sold them to

all the kids. Nice, eh?

Yes. -Great story.

Now go to sleep. Good night.

They' ll never go to sleep.

-They will.

Avner's already asleep and l

hope Judith falls asleep too

Did you get any?

No. They were fresh out of.

l mean, l didn't have

the nerve to ask.

Relax.

These are my safe days.

What's that?

Sounds ominous.

Ten days after...

My period, you know.

-OK, never mind.

Thought you'd want to know.

-lt's too embarrassing.

l' m scared.

-Me too.

Hide under the table?

Anything to drink?

l' m awfully thirsty.

My throat's as dry

as a bone.

How am l going to sing

in the choir tomorrow?

Here, l've got

something for you.

One swallow of this and the

guys start playing like mad.

There are all kinds

of vitamins in here,

especially vitamin C and...

What are you

thinking about?

l don't understand why.

Why didn't they include

Jamchi in the first five?

No, seriously. What are you

thinking about?

Dunno... This is

the big league, right?

The books say l should

be crying now.

And l should be

smoking a cigarette.

Did it hurt?

-No.

lt felt strange.

As if l was watching

the whole thing from aside.

Was it good for you?

Yeah. Terribly new.

Do you love me?

Very much.

How about some breakfast?

Or Dinner?

Coffee? A newspaper?

No. Let's stay like this. As

if l didn't have to go home.

No time to eat. -At least

take an orange with you.

Yael, hurry up.

-Here's your lunch.

Eat it all.

-Here's your video.

Your omelette.

-l don't want any.

Let's have a go at it.

Almost got it!

He wasn't always

like that.

When we met, as students,

he'd go out and demonstrate.

Everything was an issue.

-You lived together, right?

For a year, in the dorms,

before we got married.

And you had sex, right?

Orna' le, when you and Ronny

share a room in the dorms

l' ll tell you my secrets.

Until then, you' re late.

Hurry up, will you?

Stop it already! You' re like

two little children!

You' ll be late for work

and you for school. ' Bye!

What's your score?

-207.

What's mine? -Six.

-Well, it's a new game.

Enough already!

-Excuses, excuses.

When will you be back

from school?

At noon. -Good! l've a short

day too. Come on.

See you!

-See you.

Physics. Gross something.

-That Gross again!

He's handsome, isn't he?

l'd love to hit on him.

Rumour is that since you got

together he misses rebounds.

What are you doing to him?

-l just love him. -Excuse me

Good morning.

-' Morning.

...and then another kind

of poetry begins,

more lsraeli,

or '' purely lsraeli''

as some are calling it.

That of Shlonsky

and Alterman.

'' l dreamed we were together

last night. Love you. Orna''

Try and find the books.

Another dream coming up

tonight. My place, 1 9:00.

Bring it to our next class,

then we' ll begin.

Remember those '' safe'' days?

-Yes. So?

They' re over.

That's it?

Alright. l' ll be careful.

What is it?

lt's nothing.

How about you go

on the pill?

l' ll need to go to the

doctor. l don't want to.

OK, let's just wait

a few more days. -OK.

l don't want to.

l won't!

Hey, kid!

What's your name?

-llan.

l' m Omri. Nice to meet you.

llan, l' m going to make you

an offer,

first and last

and unique.

This is an electric shaver,

with batteries,

3 year warranty. 400 shekels

only. -l don't shave.

What d'you mean

you don't shave?

Listen, 3 years from now

this' ll cost like a car.

By then you' ll have grown

a huge beard.

Don't wanna. l don't shave!

-Buy it for your Dad.

l' m losing on it.

-l don't want it.

1 , 000 shekels, for Mom?

-She's already got one.

lt's American! Japanese!

Teach... You' re early!

Could be my watch.

Yeah. Could be.

l happen to have here

an Omega watch. -Omega?

Second hand. -Yes, l' m

missing an Omega here.

OK, we' ll talk later. Zahi,

let's get together at break,

l' ll tell you about that

girl last night at the pub.

You've no idea!

Found somebody who liked

your looks, Omri' le?

l called you, you know,

but your Mom said

you went out with a whole

company of parachutists.

Two companies. Two!

-Whatever. Ronny, what's up?

Alon? -What?

A shaver. 60.

-40. -What?

OK. Hair dryer. 200.

-What hair?

Yours. lt's always wet.

Get of it! Leave me alone!

Zipi...

A hair dryer.

-What hair?

Guard him tightly. Lately

you've been missing shots...

All right.

Daliah...

How do you two keep

from...? -We don't.

Aren't you scared?

-We just don't.

How about you?

-We don't, either.

Yes. That's it.

That's it.

Now we can start.

-Hit it!

We' ll resume tomorrow.

Good bye.

So we've decided to rent

the car for a week

and go on to St. Moritz.

To the snow.

lt was very nice,

and we were lucky

to get a hotel room

for 80 francs a night.

Could be. You could also

be late.

Five days are more

than just late!

Let's go see a doctor.

-What Dr.? -A gynecologist.

Maybe Ruthie knows someone

who... -That's all l need.

Tomorrow, the whole

school will know about it!

l' m only trying to help.

-l know.

Look, ,my cousin

works at the hospital.

We could go ask her

if she knows

a good doctor who...

We' ll tell her that a friend

of mine got into trouble.

l don't know.

All of a sudden

everything looks so bleak.

Whenever l close

my eyes

l see doctors, your folks,

mine, and they' re all angry.

lf you only took

the pill.

What pill? What is this,

a bloody commercial?

You should've bought

those condoms!

l couldn't,

and l didn't want to!

Besides, Omri says you only

use them with the whores,

so as not to get

a disease.

Then let Omri go

on the pill!

OK. l' m going in

to look for the doctor's

phone number.

Can l speak with Dr. Tavor?

-Speaking.

This is an emergency.

l'd like to...

Please calm down

and tell me your problem.

She's late.

Who's late? -l mean...

-Your wife!

My girlfriend.

-Why did you say that?

Excuse me?

-l see.

This is what you

should do. -Yes?

Come to my clinic. l' ll send

her to do a blood test,

then you come back to me

with the results.

Make a fist.

You didn't have to pay, it's

my pregnancy! -No pregnancy.

Are you coming?

-No!

They won't have the results

before 4 o'clock.

Let's go to school.

-l don't wanna!

Would you mind explaining

what's happening to us?

l don't think we' re going

through the same thing.

All the time you' re

organizing things,

as if l' m some kind

of a project in biology!

l've had it! l want

to be left alone!

Love me? -l do, but what's

that gotta do with anything?

What d'you mean?

Movies and making love?

That's all there is to it?

Want to be left alone?

Be my guest.

Hi. Can l speak

with Ruthie?

You' re not pregnant.

How d'you know? Look

at all those numbers!

Orna' le, l've been through

this more than once.

Believe me,

you' re not pregnant.

Does your mother know?

-Sure!

Since their divorce she's

become my friend.

Who gave you the pills?

l' m not taking any pills.

-Then what d'you do?

We broke up.

-What happened?

He started managing my life.

lt was too much pressure.

That's alright. You just

needed some time away.

Now you' ll find out if

you really love him.

Let's go in.

'' Dr. A. Tavor''

You' re not pregnant.

Just like l said!

-And you are? -Ruthie.

That's alright,

she's with me.

Orna, you were late because

of stress and anxiety.

lt's normal.

Dr. Tavor. -Yes? -She and

her boyfriend were careful,

l mean they were using

'' safe days'' ,

coitus interruptus etc. We

should give her some pills.

Ruthie!

'' Microginnon 30'' would be

best for her.

But you' re the doctor.

-Yes. l almost forgot.

l think it would be better

if l examined her before

l gave her anything.

Do you agree?

-Yes, yes, by all means.

Go in, take your underwear

off and sit in the chair.

Come, l' ll help you.

-That's as far as you go.

lt's her first time.

l want to help.

Orna, what l' m going

to do now

is check your cervix.

Lean back, please.

That's all.

You can get dressed now.

lt's starting to rain.

l just wanted to tell you

that everything's all right.

Ruthie checked you?

-Dr. Tavor did. l' m fine.

Yeah. l guess.

Your Mom's books.

Thank her for me.

l will.

' Bye.

lt's no big deal.

-What?

Some people don't even

return the books they borrow.

Your bike is free now.

-Let it go, Omri.

lf you feel like

being alone

you can come to me. l' ll...

-l said let it go!

Okay. -Thank you.

This poem is a little more

lyrical. More loving.

A little different from

what we've seen so far.

'' l shall come

to your door'' .

'' l shall come to your door

with trembling lips

'' l shall stretch out

my hands towards you

''Then l shall say the words

that l promised to keep

'' And that would be

forever yours...''

Are we going to get

that humus?

What's the matter with you?

One little humus is all!

You've got to read

this book.

lt's about a 1 2 year old boy

who leaves home.

Why go straight home? Let's

go have some humus first.

Daphna, come here.

Want a ride home?

-Sure.

What' re you doing?

-l' ll see you tonight.

What's tonight?

There's a party tonight.

You coming?

Yeah.

Come upstairs for some

coffee? -No, thanks.

Suit yourself. ' Bye.

Good evening.

lt's not bad at all.

Give it here.

-No, no...

No, thanks.

lt won't kill you.

-l don't smoke. At all.

Anything else you

don't do at all?

Anything l don't

want to do.

What' re you waiting for?

Dancing? Lego?

Games, maybe? -l' m not

waiting for anything.

lf you focus on your

own heartbeat...

Focus on your own heartbeat.

And another thing.

Flow with your blood.

lt's cosmic energy. l swear.

-l' m splitting.

Yeah? Why?

Why? What's the matter?

-l' m bored out of my skull!

lf only you understood

what it's like to...

The party's just starting!

-l' m gonna party at home,

in bed, with a good book

and some biscuits.

Got biscuits, eh?

-What kind of biscuits?

Some friends you've got.

You know, if you get

into that cosmic flow...

You a couple! l' m just

the fifth wheel here...

Why didn't you say so?

lt should be you and me...

Don't tell me you just

happened to pass by.

Daliah?

Bible studies: 7 0.

-90.

7 0. -1 00.

Biology? -90.

-1 00.

l'd like to know. You got

nothing less than 1 00?

Not even one or two?

-Yes. 90 in gymnastics.

She must've cheated

in the long jump

and she got caught.

Very funny.

-Yeah, it's funny.

No, it's not funny.

What is it?

-What's the matter?

Got any valium for me?

-What is it, Ruthie?

l passed!

l passed!

l can't believe it!

l suggest we go to Eilat

for three days.

Take our sleeping-bags.

-To Eilat on my bike?!

lt won't get me half way.

-Wait a minute.

l have an idea. We could go

to Hadera via Wadi Ara,

then to Megido Junction

where there's a lot of...

Geography. -Then we could go

back along the beach

down to Sidney Ali.

-That's across from Eilat.

Omri! Omri!

What's the matter?

They've expelled me.

-What' re you talking about?

Absences. Tardiness.

You know,

all that crap.

My bad marks. The lot.

You' ll have to tell your

parents. -They already know.

And?

lt's nothing new.

lt's started when l had

to repeat ninth grade.

They were worried about what

their friends would say.

l said l'd go to a technical

school or out to work.

But they wanted their son

to become a lawyer.

Well, all that

is history now.

From now on, l' m managing

my own life.

Are you out of your mind?

You' re enlisting?!

-l' ll be 1 8 soon.

So? Do your folks know

about this? -They will.

l've had enough

of this shit.

l' ll do my army service,

then l' ll start doing stuff.

What stuff? -The stuff

you do with money.

l got an F in mathematics

but l've made tons of money

in business this year.

l' m good at these things.

l don't need one penny

from my folks, OK?

Come see me in the army,

l' ll give you a hard time.

See you around.

-Forget it, Omri.

You' re coming with us

on a bike trip.

They can expel you

from school

but getting out of the gang

isn't that easy. Wait.

Ruthie, come here a sec!

Listen, don't you...?

-l' ll set it straight.

l' ll get it right for you.

You just shut up.

Ruthie! -Yes?

This is Omri. He's...

Get to the point!

He's coming with us,

on your scooter.

You' re managing me now?

Listen, get off it.

See you in the army.

Omri!

-What's going on?

He got expelled from school,

he's going to the army

for three tough years

and we can't give him

two nice days?

Alright, l' ll call him.

'' Such a beautiful trail

Only takes time and speed

'' Such a beautiful trail

Right now it's all we need

'' Such a beautiful trail

Let us storm it to the end

'' Storm it

from end to end...''

Hands off, Omri.

What's the matter

with you?

You think l want

to touch you?

l keep falling off!

-Then what's this for?

l keep falling off!

l can't take it anymore!

Just the waist, hear?

-Sure, no problem.

'' Such a beautiful trail

-All doors are opening to us

'' Such a beautiful trail

-Valleys and hills and such

'' Such a beautiful trail

Let us storm it to the end

'' Storm it

from end to end

'' We' ll take our exams

between the sheets

'' Drawn by gravity

like two connected vessels

'' We' ll pass our tests,

''You and me... -Me and you

-So much in love...''

Let's go in the water!

Say, Omri, d'you iron

your shirts with starch?

'Cause l...

Mommy!

-l' m coming to get you!

'' We' ll take our exams

between the sheets

'' Drawn by gravity

The Crusaders built this

stadium in the 1 200 B.C.

lt held 1 0, 000 seats.

They built cloakrooms,

invested in facilities,

did a good thing here.

Say, would you like to go

in the caves on top? -No!

All you care about is the

water and making out! -Yeah!

Look at the sun setting.

Outstanding!

lt's nothing compared with

what happened to me once.

l set down...

Down, down almost

to the carburetor.

Some setting-down

that was.

Reminds me of the downfall

of the Roman empire. -Who?

The Roman empire.

lt looks more like

tomato with eggs.

Same thing.

Big and yellow.

Who made this bonfire?

-Yoav did.

Just like him. -Yoav, what's

the bonfire for?

How d'you say '' virgin''

in African?

'' Nohymenba'' . -'' Noinba'' .

-What's that?

'' Noinba'' . That's '' virgin''

in African.

Got it!

And '' whore'' ?

-Noinba? lninba!

Nice! -And if her father

tells the joke?

No father would tell

such a joke.

Then it's '' lninba,

lnbabba ininba'' .

Got it? -You' re killing me.

-l' m killing him.

Was l laughing?

-Yeah, you were laughing.

Music...

Where have we been

all those years?

We were running around.

-Yeah.

Maybe we were just

practicing for this moment.

But now you' re going to

the army. -Just for a while.

But at least now l know

what for. -What for?

To defend you. Ruthie's

Defence Forces. That's me.

l miss you already,

my soldier.

Your boyfriend.

-My boyfriend?

You want to be my boyfriend?

-That and much more.

Orna!

You' ll wake the Crusaders!

-l' m looking for my pills.

You' ll find pain-killers in

the pocket. -No, The Pill.

Take one from Ruthie

tomorrow. -Changing's bad.

What?

l forgot to take one

yesterday, too. -You did?

Because of the rush.

-So?

We' ll have to choose a name

for the child.

What child?

-Ours.

We' ll call him Doron Jamchi.

-And if it's a girl?

No problem. We' ll

call her Berkowitz.

Look.

What do you think?

Sure.

Let's go inside.

lt's cold out here.

What's this?

What's this?

lnside, girl. lnside!

Think parsley will do

on a pie?

He's eating army food.

He' ll love it.

The only thing Omri loves

is his business deals.

Half his letters are about

what to buy and what to sell

But the other half...

-What should l do?

l think you should

take Ronny,

go to the lab

and do the test.

l don't really miss our

separation last year.

l'd go with you

but Omri...

l could go

with you tomorrow.

lt's him!

l missed you terribly.

Thief! l've been practicing

those words the whole month.

l love you so much.

We've got 6 hours

to put it to a test.

Orna. -A soldier, eh?

-Yeah.

OK, l' ll leave

you guys alone.

l made you a meal

fit for a soldier.

A meal? -Chinese style.

A smashing pie.

Right now l' m not thinking

about food.

l had a falafel.

l' m full.

l'd rather have some...

-What is it?

Omri, what's the matter?

-lt's the bullet l took.

What' re you talking about?

-lt was nothing serious.

Where? -Got it in the

kidney. They took it out.

Here, look.

l can't even talk.

You little liar!

No bullet, no Chinese food,

no nothing.

l rather wanted Chinese.

And l was all

for dessert.

l' m Orna Shapiro.

l' m here for the results of

my test. -What kind of test?

Blood test for pregnancy.

-l' ll go look for it.

Orna Shapiro.

Here you are.

What does it mean?

-Positive. You' re pregnant.

Thanks.

Ronny!

Hi! Come in the water,

you chicken! -Ronny!

l came to tell you that...

-What?

Nothing.

You' re handsome like that.

-Even better as a swimmer.

Now watch me tearing this

swimming-pool apart.

When you count to 20

l' ll be at the other side.

Ready? When l give you

the sign.

Start counting. Now!

One, two, three,

four, five...

Twenty?

Yes!

lf you' re not asleep

we can't begin.

You' re falling asleep...

Go to sleep!

-l can't.

Go to sleep!

l know l' m not asleep!

l can't sleep!

-You' re falling asleep now.

l' m not. -Yes you are.

-l' m not! l' m not!

l' m not asleep!

l' m not asleep!

l' m not. l know l' m not.

Everything OK? See you.

Ronny?

Go to sleep now.

You' ll be fine.

You' re asleep now.

-l' m not. -Yes you are.

Show her to her.

Mrs. Shapiro,

you a have a daughter.

Orna! Orna' le!

What?

What is it,

you had a bad dream?

lt' ll go away. You OK?

-Yes. -All right?

Yeah.

-That's good.

Honey, l' m in a rush.

lt's already 07: 1 5.

Do me a favor, send Yaeli

to school, OK?

Have something to eat.

Give her breakfast.

l' ll be home by noon.

Alright.

l want a sandwich

with a pickle,

and grapes

and a chocolate.

And l want it in bad

'cause l' m sick. -OK!

l have the flu

and the mumps.

What's the matter

with you?

Ronny!

So, you've decided

on abortion? -Yes.

Orna? -Yes.

Why?

We have to finish school,

do our matriculation,

army service, university.

We' re not yet ready to deal

with this kind of thing.

Have you considered

all the risks involved?

A friend of mine had an

abortion and she's fine.

l'd like to explain. There

could be an internal damage.

You could develop

a severe infection

which would mean this

would be your last child.

l want you

to understand that.

You' re saying that every

abortion is a disaster?

Not necessarily. But l want

you to think about it,

to weigh it seriously. -We

have. We don't want the...

This child.

Fine.

Here are the forms for

the abortion committee.

Go to the social worker,

fill them up together

and come back to see me

in two days.

Thank you.

You' re against it, right?

l' m a doctor. A pregnancy

is not a disease.

So many forms!

Maybe Ruthie knows a doctor

who needs fewer forms.

Orna?

Orna?

lf we had him, who d'you

think he'd resemble to?

To the sleeping-bag in which

he'd been conceived.

l gave birth to a doll.

-What?!

Nothing.

Let's go.

-Where?

To school, to speak

with Ruthie. -No!

lf we do it, l want

Dr. Tavor and the hospital.

'' lf'' we do it?

-l don't know. l' m confused.

He said to come back in

two days. Let's wait.

Okay.

Hold this a sec.

Daliah, what is it?

lt's Omri.

Omri?!

He was here just the day

before yesterday.

Only for 6 hours.

That's very little, right?

'' l came in the flesh instead

of a letter,'' he said.

We laughed,

and l held him.

l held him tight

and l wouldn't let go.

We' re so young.

Why don't they let us

grow up?

l don't want him

to stop coming back!

l want him back!

What shall l do with all

the photos and the letters?

l can't be alone!

Omri!

Omri!

''The Committee for

Termination of Pregnancies''

lt's out of the question.

They want

to get married.

To who?

-To each other, dummy.

Orna's pregnant. l' m gonna

be an uncle. -Me too.

l' ll talk to Ronny.

Ridiculous! We' ll have

an abortion! -'' We'' ?

lt's my child

and l want it!

You think flying course

would give you a pass

to go see your kid?

Shimon!

l sure hope so.

lf not, maybe l' ll join

a fighting unit.

l was pregnant

with Orna

when we were taking the

exams for the university.

You' re comparing university

exams to matriculation?

Matriculation's much harder!

Orna' le, sweetie,

listen to me.

Matriculation and pregnancy

don't go together.

What's going on here?

l never heard

of 1 7 year olds getting

married and having kids!

That's unheard of!

So this' ll be a first!

What are you blabbing about?

lt's out of the question!

Anything to drink?

-Yes, please.

You don't understand.

We' re not asking

for your consent.

We' re telling you!

You can either go along

with us on this or not!

lf we' re mature enough

to get killed at 1 8,

then we' re mature enough

for everything else!

Look, Ronny, you don't

understand what's involved.

Why? -You should

consider it seriously.

They've been together a long

time. -lt's no kids' stuff!

They' re mature enough.

-What's wrong with it?

You think this is just

about a child?

What' re they gonna do now?

They' ll talk and decide if

l' ll be an uncle. -And l.

OK. You, too.

Let's go upstairs,

it's boring down here.

Let's play

l wish you luck.

Try to be good. See you.

Good luck.

See ya, teach!

Normally she's very quiet.

Not a peep out of her.

l'd leave her at home,

but when you' re

breast-feeding...

l think we'd rather start,

'cause in two hours

she' ll start screaming. OK?

Yes. Definitely.

This is your chemistry...

eh, physics exam. Two hours.

No cheating

and no talking.

You may use your computers.

Good luck.

Efrati, sweetheart,

be quiet, sweetie-pie...

Be quiet. lt' ll be

over soon.
