Kan 11 presents

Faster, Miriam,
you're holding up the herd!

Giddy up!

My grandfather, rest his soul,
always wanted me to be a shepherd.

With the carts in the parking lot,
I'm making his dream come true

in a miniscule way.

Watch the Volkswagen!
Watch the Volkswagen, Miriam!

Look where you're going

Miriam is the naughty sheep.
-You named the carts? -Of course not.

I am no eccentric, Sir.
The carts named themselves.

Okay, so how does that work?



Each cart has its unique character
that dictates its name.

There is one that is upright
and graceful, Elizabetta.

There is one that always has
an onion peel. Cinderella.

Do you have a favorite?

They are all my daughters,
I love them all, especially Malka.

But I love them all, no exception.
-What's so special about Malka?

Malka reminds me of myself.

Not the most beautiful,
not the most popular.

And the coin isn't easily inserted
into her slot.

I too am a chronic tip refuser...
We're alike.

Ah! I have a stress fracture
in my right ankle

and Malka has the famous slant.

Three months after she came to us
Malka was in a hit and bam accident.

Since then... her front wheel
turns 32 degrees to the right,



but it's nothing,
no one even notices it.

It's... the wheel.

I go straight, it pulls right.
Look.

Get outta here!
-It worked before. -Idiot.

"Checkout"

17, nice.
-Who's counting?

Okay, guys, I ask you kindly,
before a shift, if you could...

pss... pss...
-Why are you looking at me?

I wasn't looking at you.
-You looked at me... -I didn't.

And Kohava, pss... is enough,
no need for pss... pss... pss...

Believe me, there is.
-There are those that do...

I see you looking at me!
-Okay, enough. Calm down, Anatoly.

Before we scatter. Sshhh...
Last... announcement.

Lag Ba'Omer is coming up.
You all know what that means.

That you can finally shave.

No. That's not what I meant.

I meant it's the holiday
that comes with the annoying trend

of looting supermarket carts
to gather scrap wood.

This year I want
to quash this vandalism

by putting employees in charge
of making sure there is no looting.

I think it's a good idea
and the spirit of volunteering is key.

Who wants to be in charge?

I see you from the corner of my eye.

Uh... Nissim?
-I can't, it's the 33rd day of the count.

Okay, I... Ramzi,
see you from the corner of my eye,

I know you want to be, I know.
-Anatoly wants to, but he's shy.

Sha sha, blah blah.

Okay, the volunteers are Ramzi
and Chibotero.

I didn't raise my hand.

You're the security guard,
it's part of your job.

This one always has an answer.

To you Lag Ba'Omer is a holiday

of bonfires and killer sales
on strawberry-banana marshmallows.

But for the supermarket carts,
it's a cursed day

when they are victims
with which to gather wood et al.

Last Lag Ba'Omer we lost three carts
Margaret and the Wheelie twins.

I won't let that happen this year!

You want a cart to gather wood?!
You'll have to go through Ramzi!

"Issachar Bounty"

Shula?

Where are you?

I imagined the worst, sweetheart.

What's up, pasta king?
-Not yet, still a prince.

Honestly, it's rough, Mr. Franco.
Lag Ba'Omer is upon us, it's stressful.

There are hot alerts as to cart theft.
-Ramzul, dude, they're only carts.

I have two next to my elevator,
I'll give 'em to you.

The Wheelie twins? -What?
-Our carts. -No. Of course not,

"Levi Bliss."
-Then there's nothing wrong with that.

How's it going, beautiful souls?

I came to return the heater
that I bought here last month.

Why? What's the problem?
-The safety instructions.

It says "No placing fabric,"
not, "No placing pizza/pita."

Check it out.

You're writing safety instructions,
then why half assed?

How did pizza/pita get there?
-You know how kids are.

You gotta supervise them at all times.
-The kids ruined the heater?

No, I did.
Instead of supervising them.

I mustn't be left alone.
I get stupid when I'm bored.

Are you sure you can return it
in that condition?

Can anyone say no to this smile?

Anyways, Prince,
I bought this two days ago,

turns out we have
the exact same one at home.

So take this, give me a refund
and make it fast, I'm triple parked.

You want a refund? -Yes.

Let me take a look.
-Why work so hard?

I'm telling you, we didn't touch it.
-And yet, my friend, it's protocol.

Protocol is protocol.

See? Like new.
-I... I'm sorry, Mr. Franco,

in its current condition,
I cannot take back the product.

"In its current condition"?
Look, like new.

You put this part here...
Here. Like new.

Ramzul, don't be a stick in the mud.
It's not your money... -Of course not.

If it was, I'd replace it
without a second thought.

But it's the supermarket's money.

Now, excuse me, Mr. Franco,
I must patrol the parking lot.

Pleasant day. -What... Patrol?
Ramzi, what patrol?

I'm not budging until I get a refund.

I'll cancel all my lectures if I have to.
-Are you sure you bought it here?

Excuse me, now I'm a liar.
-No, I just don't remember...

stocking a product of this kind.
What's the problem with it?

I'll tell you what the problem is!
It says that it talks. -And?

And? What "and?"
See for yourself.

I love you.

It talks. -Yes, but how hard
do I have to press to get it to talk?

What message am I conveying
to the child?

That he'll only get love
by being violent? -No.

An abusive husband?
Is that what you want me to raise?

Come to the register,
we'll work it out. -I want a refund.

Did you see that?

Franco comes along, everyone's buddy,
everyone's pet - no refund.

The chicken comes along,
the red-head siren,

comes at them with guns blazing
gets a refund and an apology.

You know what my dad once said?
Niceties will get you nowhere.

Especially in the supermarket.
-So now you're going to yell?

Dude, I can't fake being pissed off.

I'm no actor who can get riled up
at the drop of a cue.

I have to get all heated up,
I have to go in with fire in my eyes,

otherwise I won't get a refund
for a pistachio shell.

"My love, I'm stuck at work,
can't make the kids' bath time."

Sad smiley, sad smiley,
muscle, send.

So how are you going to get
all riled up? -That's the thing,

every married man
has a secret weapon at home.

One V, second V, two blue Vs...

"My only one,
words can't describe..."

Sweetie, sweet... sweetie...

Shirley, slow down,
I don't understand.

Slow down, I...

So the kids won't bathe tonight.

You know what?
They don't have to bathe ever.

Like your brother,

who hasn't seen a trickle
since he returned from India.

A trickle, Shirley?
He doesn't know what a shower is.

So now that's my fault?
Want me to bathe him too?

What's my sister got to do with it?
What did my sister...

Naomi has a gland issue
and you know that very...

Hello? Hello?!

Keep the kids away from the registers,
angry Franco is in the house!

Damn, where is she,
where's the manager?!

Hello! Hello!
I want to see the manager now!

Pleasant day again, Mr. Franco.
How can I assist?

No pleasant, no nice guy,
I warTt to see the manager now.

No need to fume, Mr. Franco.
-Sweet Ramzi,

don't you get what I'm saying?
I want to see the manager now.

Aright,
I'm going to get her in a flash.

Shira!

Big Boss?

Ramzi, not now, please.
-One thousand I'm sorries,

but I must inform you
that one of our customers

is very furious,
livid and extremely angry.

Livid and angry?
-He is upset and... on fire.

His nostrils are flaring.
-Fine, I'm coming out.

He's foaming at the mouth.
There's a pool of foam out there.

Alright, I'm coming out.
-You're coming out, right?

Can I have a moment?!

Yes, of course.

Yeah? 'Coz of people like me?
Look at yourself in the mirror, dude.

Where is that manager?
Jeez Louise.

I'm standing there like an idiot

wasting my anger
on all kinds of no names.

Anger can't be sustained,
it's degradable.

Damn straight.

Shurush? Yakir Shurush?
-Nathan Franco. -Yakir Shurush!

What's up, super-hero?
-Look at you! Shurush!

Yakir Shurush. Shurush...
I haven't seen him in 20 years!

We were like this in high school, bro.

Thanks to him I got a 68 average
on my final exams.

His mom was a top official
in the board of education

so he'd get the answers
to the exams a week before.

You had all the answers
to the final exams? -Yeah.

And you got a 68 average?

I only had the questions,
not the answers...

You wanna meet angry Franco too?

Shurush, Shurush is God!

Franco, I'm so sorry you waited,
but I was...

in a board meeting.
-Huh? What...

Oh, that, never mind,
I'm not in the mood.

He shed 30 kilos, bro.
Went back to the Sinai.

He was foaming a minute ag®.
-This is why you brought me here?

Now you're foaming at me.
-I'm not foaming, I'm just...

I can see the foam flowing.

Wow... Yakir, Yakir.
He made me so happy...

that loser!

I was this close
to replacing the heater.

Then he walks in
with all this good energy.

What a champ.
Loser!

So what are you going to do?
Call Shirley again?

She's at Pilates, she won't pick up.
Bummer.

I have to find another way
to awaken angry Franco.

Hey, camera dude,
you look annoying...

With your cap on backwards.
Are you some smart ass?

Some freak?
You come from India? The Sinai?

How 'bout you, soundman?
Long hair, bro?

You some girly girl?

You hear this?

Does it annoy you?

You got potential to argue, man.
Wanna argue? Anyone wanna argue?

Hello!

Excuse me? Is this the express line?
-Yes.

The express line up to 10 items
is the best, am I right?

Suddenly I realize that the recipe for anger
was right under my nose.

You tell me, is there anything
more annoying than the express line?

What did you say?

Excuse me? -"Excuse me?"
You went like this...

You just went...
-My nose is stuffed up. -Ah.

Stuffed up? That's why you went...
I thought the other...

the one that denotes anger.

'Coz this is an express line
and I have a full cart.

I'm in no rush, it's fine.
-She's not in a rush.

Your whole life you're surrounded
by annoying people you want to strangle

and then one time,
when you need them to be annoying,

nope, they're gone. No more annoying.
And that's so annoying.

Excuse me.

Nice one, goalie!

I thought the chicken had gone.
No one is as annoying as that one.

She's the Ronaldo of annoying people.

Actually, Ronaldo is the Ronaldo
of annoying people.

But she's no chump, that one,
she's a master in her field.

Yes, Ma'am, how can I help you?
-This is the express line.

Emergency .exit, fire escape.
-What?

Isn't this the game
where we read signs?

Cigarettes - cash only.
-Very funny.

Do you know that the express line
is up to 10 items? -It is?

The express line is up to...
I didn't know that.

Lucky you enlightened me,
it's very important. Thank you.

Are you done with your number?
Then go to the regular line.

What's with the attitude?

You see that it's up to 10 items.
So what's wrong with my cart?

You have over 40 items.
-Over 40?

This, this and this,
these are vegetables, that's one.

Flour, sugar, cocoa, cake,
that's another one.

I don't have 10 items even if I try.
You know what? I'll add gum.

Gum, gum„ gum.
And the blue one too. More gum.

If you don't want me to report you,
please move to the regular line.

"Report you"?
To whom? Traffic radio?

Besides, you have more than 10 items too.
-I only have dates and crackers.

Excuse me? Crackers. Let's see.

Rice, protein, sugar, sodium,
E312 preservatives,

that's 316 items,
not counting the dates.

Wow,-1 didn't know baboons could count.
-What did you say?!

Did you just call me a baboon?
You scum mouth, a baboon?

I knew it.
I knew I could count on her.

Listen, if annoying was beauty,
she'd be Miss Universe.

Shame on you.
-Maybe I went too far,

forgive me if I insulted you.
-No, no sorry, no too far.

It's fine, call me a baboon. -What?
-It's good, it helps me.

It's good...

Where's that manager?
Like they won't replace my heater.

Hello!
Hello.

Hello!

Manager, to main cash register,
urgent, to main register.

The skag, calling me a baboon.
She has no shame. -Excuse me.

Can you hold him? -Not now.
-My mom ran into the street.

I'll be right back.

What a cutie!
Look at those eyes.

A puppy dog.
So cute, so cute.

How can you stay mad
with a cute puppy like that?

Take a plane,

scatter puppies like that
over Nasrallah's bunker,

take it from Franco,
the next day... you got peace.

Franco, why did you call me
over the PA? Wow, what a cute dog!

Franco, why did you call me?
-Oh, nevermind. No...

to show you this gorgeous thing.
-"Never mind"?

I almost fell off the ladder.
You're so sweet!

You wanna hold him?
-Yes. Don't call me over the PA again.

Don't... Oh... wait.

I'll never replace that heater.

Commander. -Oy...

What happened to you?
Why do you look like that?

I'm guarding,
doing the night patrol.

What patrol? -"What patrol?" It's Lag Ba'Omer
in two days, the sector is burning.

Ramzi, they're just carts.
I asked you to keep an eye out.

I can take a hint.

Okay, you go to sleep, Big Boss.
Everything's under control.

Good night, Ramzi.

The keeper of "Issachar Bounty"
shall not sleep nor slumber.

No, no.

What's this?

No!

No, no.

Rivka, Bracha, Tzipi,
Miriam, Shoshi,

Cinderella, Heftzi.
Where's Malka? Malka!

Malka!

They took Malka!

Of all the carts they took Malka!

She was right here.
-Calm down, Sir, don't worry.

When's the last time you saw her?
-Three hours ago. -Ah.

Name?
-Malka.

Last name?
-"Issachar Bounty".

Identifying marks?
-Average height,

a big scar on her handle.

When she's distressed
she makes this sound...

Wait, what are we talking about?
-Malka, a supermarket cart. Malka.

You called the police
because of a cart? -Affirmative.

What... where are you going?
You'll investigate, right?

Yes, wait here,

I'll send over
a special cart compositor.

Really?
Wow.

Thank you.

With all due respect to the police,

in the movie "MP Kiss,"
the one that saved Natalie the soldier

was no other than her father,
Yehuda Barkan.

Hang in there, Malka.
Daddy's coming.

"Malka was lost"

Shira!

Damn.

Hello!

I got back from Naor's
parent-teacher meeting.

At first I was so bummed,
but then I said to myself,

I'll use my anger
for something positive.

But this time,
I'm letting the anger get away.

Shira!
Hello!

Hold on.
-150, 35. 70, 85.

Don't tell me "hold on,"
you listen to me good.

I bought this thing three days ago,
look at it now.

Does this look good to you?

If you don't want me
to turn this supermarket upside down,

I'm getting a refund now.
Now, I say!

Are you a moron? -What?
-Could you be the type that's a moron?

This is the third time
you're disturbing me when I'm working,

did you notice that?
Now I have to count over.

Do you want to come in here
and count instead of me?

Huh? No! Maybe you think
I have nothing better to do

than tend to Mr. Nathan Franco.

Nathan Franco's in the supermarket!
Nathan Franco is here!

Shira Steinbuch has to drop everything
and tend to his majesty Nathan Franco!

No, I...
-No "no" and no shmo!

Listen to me.
Not only will I not give you a refund,

you won't get a refund from us
in a thousand years. You know why?

Because the whole supermarket reeks
of the burnt ketchup

that you put on the heater!
A refund? The nerve!

Okay, then... then not a refund,
some kind of compensation?

A compensation? -A compensation.
-Sure thing. -Thank you...

You will buy a new heater for 149.90.
That's your compensation.

How's that?
-Cash or credit?

It costs 129...
-Cash or credit?

It's...
-Cash or credit?

Can I pay in three installments?
-No installments.

If... -Schhh...

You don't have to foam.

I fell asleep and woke the beast.
Instead of waking up angry Franco,

I woke up angry Shira.
Listen to me, angry Shira...

she tops angry Franco and how.

I'm taking this opportunity
to address all the home viewers.

A heater, like new.

Just call the number
at the bottom of your screen.

Insert the number in editing, okay?
So I don't seem like’some fool.

Call now, friends.
It's a great heater.

"Issachar Bounty"

"Levi Bliss"

Ramzi!
I've been looking all over for you.

Peel this tangerine, be a man.

You took it out, won't you peel?

What's wrong?
What's with the Steinbuch face?

The bonfires will be lit in two hours.
-Yeah?

I'm losing faith I'll ever find Malka.
-You and that dumb cart again?

She's nothing but trouble
with her messed up wheel.

You wanna go straight
she takes a right.

You wanna back up -
she takes a right.

Left - right.
Bump Amnon - right.

It's too much!

Jackass! Imbecile!
Frivolous! Kohava, you're a genius!

Good morning, how do you do?
-The wheel is crooked!

The wheej is-Gr-ooked!
It's a 32 degree deviation to the right.

As he left the supermarket, the thief had
to take a right to the eastern neighborhood

and there's only one building site there.
Only one building site!

Thank you.

Thank you, Kohava.

Wait, Ramzi, the... tangerine!

Anyone know how to peel?

Malka.

Malka!

"Giving...

"the heart and soul..."
-Malka!

You thought you'd get off scot free.

The entire police force is after you!

You're lucky I caught you
and not Secret Service.

We're so sorry, we'll do anything,
just don't tell our parents.

Your parents?
What about her parents?

It's a supermarket cart.
-So? What does that even mean?

We didn't know it's so important.
We'll never do it again, I swear.

Tell it to the judge, smart aleck.
Rebels without a cause.

I told you we'd get in trouble.
-You wanted a bonfire.

Yeah, a bonfire, nAkthe cops.

Why couldn't we just go
to the class bonfire? -Why?

Maybe because they ostracized us?

Maybe because Libat Greenbaum
made voodoo dolls of us

to burn in the bonfire?
Good enough reason for you?

So that's it?
No more bonfires for us?

First I have to be able t® walk.

I think I sprained my ankle
when he ran towards us.

I fell too.

You are Malka.
-What? -What?

You're both just like Malka.
Rejected, messed up, unwanted.

Wayward ankle!
You're just like Malka!

She's yours. -But you said...
-Forget what I said.

You need her more than I do.

It's time to say goodbye.

My pretty.
There are other "Malkas" that need you.

Take care of her, yes?

Thank you.

It's like that movie,
"Toy Story 3", the first one.

When Andy goes to college,
he gives his toys to a boy in need.

My favorite holiday is Lag Ba'Omer.

-What about Purim?
-Second place.

Me too.
Gathering wood in the heat.

Buying firecrackers in Tira.
But you know what I like the best?

Of course.
-Tossing the cart in the bonfire.

Is that an expression?
"Tossing the cart in the bonfire"?

'I'm at the end of my rope"? -No, literally,
tossing the cart in the bonfire.

It's like this. At one point you run out
of wood, there's nothing to burn,

everyone's plastered,
you toss the cart in the bonfire.

It’s a tradition.

Malka!

Ramzi, the tangerine.

What kind of service is this?
