Valley

I have to remind you of the rules,

we are at school, after all,

and the first rule is:
Don't be late.

Let's begin...

Are you new here?

First rule:
I sit next to the window.

Go on, fuck off.

Take your junk with you.

Excuse me, Josh,
you don't make the rules.

You're not sitting there.



What? It's my seat!

Next time, don't be late.

Josh, come sit next to me.

Bitch.

Copy the schedule
off the board.

We meet Sundays, Mondays
and Fridays, which is great,

that way we can sum up the week...

Three times a week?!

You'd think you have
something important to say.

-Can't you hold it in?

You're right,
I have to take a piss.

Josh, wait for recess.
- What?

I have to pee,
what don't you get?

Josh, sit down!



Fine, I'm sitting.

Copy what's on the board.

Your first class is Gym class.

This year's gym uniform is blue.

Biology class will take place
in the new labs on the third floor.

You'll have a new art teacher

who will inform you
of the equipment you need...

Gross...

Are you insane?!

You want me to send you
to the principal's office?

You'll send me
to the principal's office?

I'm going to tell the principal
that you won't let me take a piss.

You're threatening me.
- No, I'm not.

With your personal record,
I could kick you out of school today!

With pleasure! Where do I sign?

Quiet.

Do you need any help?

Is everything OK?

Take the trash can to the bathroom,
rinse it out and come back to class.

You see, Miss? In the end
I'm going to the bathroom,

so why all the fuss?

Continue to copy...

Cutie.

Bye, guys.

Bye, Li noy.
- Bye.

Danny, go home,
I'll be there in 5 minutes.

Where are you going?

I said I'll be back in 5 minutes.

Can I come with you?

Feed Bobo, okay?

Let's go, dude.

Asshole...

Motherfucker, come over here!

Here he is.

Hey, you piece of shit.

Word in the neighborhood is

that you peed in class.

Can that be true?

You grow some balls and think
you can pee in class, you queer?

Let go of me.
- Am I hurting you?

Shut the fuck up,
you stupid dog!

You listen to me.

Something's gotta change
around here

because I'm enlisting
and you'll be in charge of this family,

and that's no job for queers,
you hear me?

Got it?

Yes.

Good.

And get that fuckin' dog...
- Leave him alone!

Is that it?

Come on, let's have some fun,
let's fight.

No, stop! Avi, no.

No.

Danny, sweetie,
can't you see we're playing around?

You having fun, Josh?

Tell him you're having fun.

It's okay, Danny.
Go watch TV.

Everything's fine...

Watch out, you hear me?

Do you hear me?!

Go wash your face.

And get that fuckin' dog
outta my house.

Not a word to Mom.

Hi sweetie, what's up?

No.
You cannot enter with the dog.

Why not? No one will see

I don't care.

Tie him up in the woods,
if you want.

You think I'm gonna leave him
in the woods?

You're not taking the dog in.

Come on, let me in!

No way.

Fuck you, asshole!

Let's go, Bobo.

Are you going to be late
every morning?

Sit down.

What are you looking at?

Josh.
- Fuck you, don't look at me!

Josh, go to your seat, please.

I'll deal with you later.

Let's get to know you, David.

Have you ever read a book?

Yes.
- What books have you read?

All kinds.

Can you tell us the names
of the authors?

Etgar Keret, Amos Oz.

Grossman, A.B. Yehoshua,
Meir Shalev.

Impressive.

Jerk.

Settle down.

Tell the class
what do you get out of reading?

It's an escape from reality.

An escape from reality.

I prefer TV. Who cares
about reading. It's boring.

What's that Linoy?
Speak up.

Nothing.
I prefer watching TV.

What do you get out of it?

I can dream.

You can dream by reading too.

What do you dream about?

I dream that I'm a TV actor.

Some actor.
- Shut up!

What are you doing
to fulfill that dream?

What can I do?
There's nothing here.

That's not true.

It's entirely up to you.

What do you dream of, David,
writing a book?

No, I don't have any dreams.

Not even one?

No.

Can't you hear me, motherfucker?

Don't call me motherfucker.

I'll bash your brains in, motherfucker!

You motherfucker.

Huh, motherfucker?

Hey, what's going on here?
That's enough!

Get outta here, you asshole.
- Are you out of your minds?

Go to the principal's office, now!

That's okay, nothing happened.

Come with me to the nurse.
- I'm fine.

What? Look at you.
- I'm fine.

Go on, get to class, all of you.
Show's over.

Linoy!

Mom, leave me alone!
I'm not hungry.

What a loser.
- A loser, huh? Give that to me.

Look, there's Li noy.

Give it to me.

Let's take a walk
-A walk?

Hey, Yossi.
- Josh.

What's up?
- How ya doin'? -Not bad.

Bye, dude.
- Bye.

Hey, Linoy, what's up?

Leave me alone.
- You want some privacy, huh?

I was kidding.

Bobo, come here,
what a good dog.

Sweetie.

What are you eating?

Surprise.

For you, Lilly.

Stop calling me Lilly, I'm not a child.

Cherry.

You want it?

What are you doing?!

It's not funny.

It wasn't meant to be funny.

You stink of vodka.
You're drunk.

What, now you're angry?
- I'm not angry.

I'm going home.
You coming?

Straight out.

It's a story about love
and darkness.

Even if we love,

we are liable to hurt
or be hurt.

Like forces of darkness urging us
to destroy everything we love.

We are helpless
vis a vis these dark forces.

They are stronger than us.

Sometimes it turns into
self-destruction.

That's how I understand the story.

It's about the author
and his mother.

His mother loved him, but...

living was hard for her.

She commits suicide
in the end of the book.

How did she kill herself?

That doesn't matter,

it's not the point.

What matters is what happened
before his mother died.

Shit.

Where are you going?

My dog's tied up in the woods.
He'll get wet.

Make it quick.

Bobo!

Bobo!

What happened?

How did you get like this?

Are you okay?

Prince, sit.

Sit, sit, Prince.

Cut it out, he's not gonna sit.

prince, sit.

Motherfucker.

I'm dying to serve as a combat soldier
or in the canine special forces.

You're better off
being a combat soldier.

Do you want my picture?
What are you staring at?

Who's staring at you?

Come on, let's arm wrestle.

Come on, I bet you don't last
10 seconds.

10 seconds?

Save your strength. You'll need it
to fight off those fuckin' Arabs.

You chicken?

Me, I'm no chicken.

Come on.

Ready?

Your hand is wet.

Is this dry enough for you?

It's still damp.

Hey, I wasn't ready.

No problem,
I'll humiliate you again.

Come on.

Check this faggot out.

prince, sit.

Can I help you?

You're not from around here, huh?

Excuse me?

Where are you from?

I'm from Rasco.

Rasco.

Where the rich people live.

What are you doing out here?

I'm looking for Josh Cohen.

Oh yeah?

You see, this is the kind of queer
that he hangs out with.

What do you want with Josh?
- What are you doing here?

I got the address from school.
I think this is yours.

Bobo, where did you find him?

Who is this cocksucker
who's bringing back the fuckin' dog?

Huh?

So, the stinkin' dog
found his daddy?

Who's his mommy, huh?

Who takes it up the ass?

I always knew my brother's a fag.

Prince, sit, sit.

You're really crazy.

Come on.

What are you doing?
- I'm just messing with you. Let's go.

Come on.

Take the small pieces of wood.

He's coming, he's coming!

Pick that up.

Shit!

I've had it with this crap.

You're not holding the nail properly.

Like this, gently.

Is your dad a carpenter?

Not really. He's...

He served in the army,
now he's a security officer.

Yeah?
What did he do in the army?

He never told me.

So it must have been top secret.

Maybe.

Does he beat you?

No.

Well, he makes you read books,
that's even worse.

No, my mom loved to read.

She always had a lot of books.

She loved, she had...
Is she dead?

Yeah, she died a year ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Bobo, come on.

Get inside.

He likes it!

Josh, come and read with me.

You auditioning for those fairies again?

I don't feel like it.

David, you read with her.

What's your problem?
David likes to read!

Okay, I'm outta here.

You know she's my woman.

She just doesn't know it yet

Don't you want to help me out?

Alright, I will.

Sit down.

Start here.

Enough, let me out.

Yoav, stop the car.

I said, stop the car!
- Sit down and shut up!

You're going for a ride
with your big brother...

Why do I have to be here...

Calm down.

We're going to shop at Aharoni's.

We'll keep him busy
and you'll steal...

some junk food.

What's it for?

None of your business,
just do as you're told.

Why don't we knock off
the cash register?

Why don't I punch you in the head?

Knock off the cash register,
are you a moron?

I'm telling you,
he makes a grand a day.

No way.

He owns the store and the gas station.

Dude, he makes a shit load of money.

Forget about it.

Aharoni is such a jerk,
I've never seen anything like it.

You see? I told you,
we could've gone for the cash.

Here, this is for you.

You shitheads!

What are you giving him that for?

What do you mean?
He is my brother.

Here.
Your bonus.

You don't have to take it.

Light one for me too.

Be happy,
you got booze for tonight.

Drink up! It'll make you feel great.

Have some vodka,
you'll feel amazing.

Have some more.

It burns.

That's great, it burns your throat.

What are you, a pussy? Drink up.

More, more. Let me show you something.
Wanna see something nice?

What?
- Drink up.

Drink up, more, more, more.

Now look up.

Come here, look up.

What do you

Stars, right?
- Yes.

How many?
You can't count them, can you?

There are tons.

Now they're far away.

Yeah, real far away.

Now lower your head.

Lift it, real fast!

Focus on the stars.

They're getting closer.

Right? They're closer.

Soon you'll be able to touch them.
Raise your hand.

If you touch them, you'll be
the happiest man in the world.

Huh?

Sorry to tell you this,

but it's an illusion,
you can't really touch them.

No.

No way.

I tried once and..

What are you? A moron?

Of course you can't touch them.

This is David, my friend,

he's one of the best guys I know
and if anyone messes with him,

I'll fuck them over.

OK, I'm going to pee.

Aren't you locking the car?

It's okay,
your dog will watch over it.

My dog will watch over it?

What if someone steals Prince?

What's so funny?

Who's gonna steal Prince?

Stop laughing.

He's worth more than your crappy car.

He's a purebred dog, you jerk.

What do you want?

Whatever you want.

Back off...

Come, Avi.

Come here.

Come on, what's wrong with you?

Idiot.

Here.

David.

David.

Get up.

Where are we?

The same place, more or less.

Where is everyone?

They left a long time ago.

I wouldn't leave you here
all alone.

My head hurts.

It'll go away.

You see that spot over there?

I see tons of spots.

Over there.

That's where we have to go.

Get up.

Gimme your hand.

Take it easy.

Stop.
People are such shits.

Why won't they stop?
Are we Arabs?

Do I look like an Arab to you,
you asshole?

Fuckin' ass, motherfucker.

You going to
town? 1' -Yes.

Get in back.
- Huh? -Get in back.

He said we should get in back.

It's my dad.

I'm sorry.

David. Are you alright?

Are you not feeling well?

He's fine, Miss.
Absolutely awesome.

How's it going?

Please read what you wrote.

I'm sorry, I forgot it at home.

You forgot it at home?

What do you want from him?
He's your best student, right?

So he forgot, what's the big deal?

Keep your comments to yourself, Josh.

Did you write anything?

He dreams and I have to write?
You think?

I want both of you
to turn the papers in tomorrow.

Bialik?
- Bialik.

Did you write the paper, Linoy?

"A graceful willow tree
leans over the Nile.

"It watches the water
wondering what is to become of it.

"It grows, blossoms,
spring comes, spring is past

"The days are becoming cold,
where will the birds go?"

Good dog, Prince.
Good dog. Strong dog.

I'm off, bro.
- Already?

Bro.
- See you tomorrow?

Prince, come.

No way.

What is it?

They say I'm not good enough.

You're good

but not fit for combat service.

Not fit?

Then what am I fit for,
being a cook?!

It'll be fine.

You don't say.

You're finally home, and not
with that asshole you're fucking.

Stop with the nonsense.

Nonsense?

So tell me
why do you get home so late?

I have a job, not like you.

Sure you do,
as what?

Shut up, you'll wake the kids.

How much is he paying?!
- Leave Mom alone!

"Leave Mom alone!"

Don't you tell me what to do,
you faggot, you hear me?

I'm a faggot?

saw you at the bonfire.

So don't call me a faggot,
you hear me?

Leave him alone!

Stop it!

Stop it!

You're just like your father!

You're a monster!

I'm a monster?
I'm a monster?

You loser.
Now you're hitting Mom?!

Go, you coward, go!

No problem.

No!

Get outta here!

You'll pay for this,
I swear.

Why didn't you finish the paper?

You started off really well.

What happened to your eye?

None of your business.

I fell down the stairs,
you happy?

Open your books to page 30.

Stay here after class,
I want to talk to you.

I don't think I'm ready.

You're ready,
you're just a little nervous.

Maybe I shouldn't go
to the audition.

You'll do fine.

You're talented.

Talented? Really?

You've been going on about
your fuckin' audition for a month.

It's always about you, isn't it?

Don't you get
that they'll blow you off?

It's all about who you know.

Fuck, look where you come from,
who's gonna hire you?

What do you suggest?
Doing nothing like you?

Get beaten up and say nothing?

Fuckin' shit!

Are you alright?
- Yes.

Tell me how you got that bruise.

I told you already!

Who did this to you?

You wanna call child welfare again?

Josh!

Can I start over?

Just a second.

Linoy, what happened?
- Leave me alone.

Linoy...

Fuck this,
where's the exit?

Linoy, calm down.

What happened?

Linoy?

Nothing happened.

I'm a loser.

You're amazing.

No. Stop saying that.

laughing stock.

I'd rather kill myself
than see their faces.

Don't you ever say that.
Ever!

You're crazy!

Don't come near me.

They're coming.
- They're coming?

Let him go.

Wait.

Prince, go.

Fuck.

Prince, let him go!

Down Prince, down!

What are you doing?

Get outta here!
Why, you motherfucker! Why?!

What did he do to him?

Danny, go to school.

What did he do to him?!
- Go, I'll take care of him, go!

Go!

Fuck!

Bobo! Bobo!

Bobo.

That's it.

It's better this way.

I have to go.

I'm so sorry.

Can I have one?

My brother did this.

Was he there?

No, but I know it was him.

I'm going to kill him.

Who?

My brother.

Cut the crap.
- It's not crap!

If I don't, he will.

You think I'm kidding?

What are you doing?

I swiped it.

You're insane.

It's either me or him.

Stay at my house for a few days.

I don't have a choice.

You do, you can't do this.

You wanna be a murderer?

Come to my place.

I'll come by tomorrow.

Why tomorrow?
Come now.

I have to tell Danny
and I gotta get some stuff.

Okay.

it's soothing.

It's okay.
Give it back tomorrow.

Give me the knife.

Come on,

What are you doing?

Put down the knife!

Get out!

Danny, stay.

Look what he did to me.

Shut the fuck up!

Danny, get out!

Let go of him!

With pleasure.

I'll get you, Avi,
and I'll fuck you!

This is your last day on earth,
you fatso!

What do you want?

Get back in the house,
you bitch!

David, pick up.

Don't go anywhere.

Sit here and watch TV, okay?

Pick up the phone, damn it.

Where is the motherfucker?

You saw what he did to me, right?

Where's he hiding?

Danny, you scared?

Down, Prince.

Don't move.

Prince, sit.

Well, Danny?

You have any idea
where he could be?

Don't be afraid of him, Danny.

Show him whose boss.

He killed Bobo.

Bobo?

He bit him, that's all,
he didn't even suffer.

Look, Danny.

Look at his teeth.

Look how sharp, like knives.

You know what the thing is
with pitbulls, Danny?

When they grab someone,
their teeth lock

and they don't let go.

Danny, you wanna pat him?

You want to?

Where is he?

Where's Josh?

He called David.

Thank you very much.

We're outta here.
He's hiding out at his faggot friend.

Let's go to Rasco.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

What happened?

I ran all the way here,

My brother's after me.

What happened?

Is that Linoy's backpack?

Is she here?

What's going on, David?

What's going on?

I thought you were my friend.

You're my friend?

Fuck you all.

Josh, where are you going?

Leave me alone.

Josh.

Here's my little brother.

Are you hiding from me?

Huh?

Are you hiding from me?

Come on, stab me.

Stab me.

Is that Linoy?

What's going on?

Leave her alone.

Can't I say hello?

Leave her alone!

Your friend is brave, huh?

Very brave, huh?

What's up, Linoy?

David.

What are you doing?

I just wanted to scare him.
I didn't do anything.

No, it's me, it's me!

David.

David, put down the gun.
