Rosa, sorry I was so rude

Last night, the American army,

together with the British
Saudi armies

''began military
against Iraq,

''They bombed and destroyed
bases

''which posed a

Why so many things? I understand,
for the child.

Why so many bathing suits?

Who's going to look at you?

Great idea!

Genius!

But listen...
everyone will be sick

Soon everyone will be sick
your abracadabra.

So, before it's too late,
you and ''Grandpa'' take in

we'll split fifty-fifty.

Sure, you deserve all that...

It will be more fun to look at

than this guy suffering here.

And what a guy!

''Give me money
get back to Russia.''

Shame on you.

You should be ashamed. You're
his food from him.

You... you'll live...

Isaac...

That's Isaac Turbin, isn't it?

He's just ''grandpa'' to me.

Do you recognize me?

Do you remember?

Rain, everything soaking wet...

You whispered in my ear:

''Come to me now,

''there may be no tomorrow''.

Lady, either give
money or go.

l was so shy...

l hadn't bathed in three weeks, and
soldiers were sleeping nearby.

And you laughed:

''What if I die tomorrow?''

Remember?

l didn't care,

because I loved you.

l wanted to have
child so badly.

Remember?

You were my grandfather's lover?

What do you want now?

You didn't understand me,
was a nurse in his battalion.

l was interested in him, but
didn't pay attention to me.

Wait! We're coming!

Then one day he noticed me.

We were in love...
interesting,

but we're going to Eilat. Our
waiting. We have to go.

Did you bear him a ''love child''?

A son...

Wait a minute!

What son are you talking about?!

What son?

What do you want?

l want to be with him.

We have someone to be with him.

You can't do this to me!

I don't want anything from you!

I'll take him to my flat.

I'll prove it to you.

I have photos and letters,
far from here. Wait for me.

I'm not interested
who he slept with.

He never mentioned you
your bastard son.

Who did you bring in here?

So what if you read her letters?

You can go to her,
her everything.

Where will you go now?

You're just being stubborn!

Where are the letters?

Rosa. Rosa, you've thrown
man out on the street.

Have a heart. It's our duty
help immigrants.

There should be some photos here.

I'll return your money.

I haven't been to the bank yet.

They left. -Let me in.

They'll be back in a week.

Why are you smiling?

few calls to Russia.

My mother must be worried,
I'll make those calls.

Then maybe later...

No tape in my room either...

l couldn't be alone anymore...

He was a good man, from Ukraine.

He loved me.

You know, Isaac...

something always bothered me,

l could never understand what...

Later on I understood.

He didn't smell like you.

One day he found
letters to you

and left.

Without a word. Just left.

How I missed you...

''Missed - shmissed...''

Then why did you
with everyone?
