Lehiyot Ita (2013–2021): Season 1, Episode 5 - Friday Night Dinner - full transcript

Number 17, don't scare her
when she comes in.

No jumping on her,
no hugging her, no kissing her.

Number 18, no questions
about London.

Don't ask how it was
with Amos in the hotel,

and don't dare ask her
what it's like to kiss him.

But I can ask why her boyfriend
cheated on her, right?

No, you can't.

Can I ask her how many millions
she has in the bank? -No.

What about "how are you"?

Number 19, you're in charge
of taking pictures.

No way. I don't want her to
mistake me for one of her fans.



She's a snob as it is. -And you'll
be taking pictures of that snob

every four minutes. -Enough, Mom! I
don't want any part of this crap!

If you keep this up,
I'll cram you into high heels.

Next, number 20,
this is for the two of you.

I don't care what she wears, don't
you dare, even by accident,

stare at her chest.

That's too much! Why don't you poke
our eyes out and be done with it?

Enough! I want Noa
to fall in love with

our warm, traditional,
Yemenite home.

If she falls in love with us,
she"ll fall in love with...?

Amos.

Since when are we traditional?

Ever since Noa said on television
that she loves Jewish holidays.

Svetta! Please clean
the windows in Meirav's room.



I'm exhausted! It's hard,
working six hours straight.

I always have to
clean after you anyway!

No, forget it.
I want to go home.

Oh, and the most
important thing of all,

it's crucial that we all remember
that Amos doesn't live at home.

As far as we're concerned,
he lives in a beautiful flat,

at 213 Bar Kochva street,
second floor, 2.5 bedrooms,

60 square meters, a nice view,
and this is the building.

You've lost your mind, huh?

Honey, you asked that I not
involve you in the preparations,

so stay out of it now.

The Baker and the Beauty.

"Shabbat Dinner."

Hey. I'm just putting on
my shoes, okay?

I'm starving! I didn't eat
anything on the plane.

We landed two hours ago.

I ended up staying
another night in LA,

I had a meeting
with the movie director.

So, what happened?
Did you get the part?

I don't know. We read some
scenes, I'm hoping for the best.

They're supposed to call Tzvika.

What's all this? Did you open
a flower shop in here?

You'll never believe it. This
was all here when I got back.

This projector isn't even mine.

Everything you see
was already here.

But hold on, check this out.

Hi, Noa. I'm Boaz Kessler.
Nice to meet you.

I would like to take you out
to dinner, or to a movie,

or even a picnic on the beach
would be perfect,

somewhere we can sit down
and get to know one another.

I'd like you to think about it,
and while you do,

enjoy the flowers I sent you,
and my favorite song.

He's gutsy, huh?

Go!

Wouldn't it be easier
to just buy a CD,

than to do of all of this?

Look, with his kind of money, he
could have hired Beyonce herself.

He skimped on me, trust me.

- Look at that.
- Hollander.

Boaz has successfully passed
the Tzvika Test,

and you know how picky I am.

Boaz is a great, classy guy,
who has a Green Card.

I say, give Boaz a chance.

I love Tzvika.

So, shall we go? I'm starving.

If Tzvika told you to,
you have to go out with him now.

Give me some credit, okay?

Here, this is for your mother.

Have you told any of them
about our kiss?

No, of course not.

I didn't tell them.
Don't you believe me?

You'll get another one of these
if you zoom in on her cleavage.

They're here!
Everybody, come here!

Avi, put that paper away, come here.
It's not Noa, it's my date.

- What date?
- My date.

Shabbat Shalom, everyone.
Shabbat Shalom!

How are you?

Meirav! What's up?

This is Shimrit.

Look, Mom, she
brought you a gift.

Nice to meet you.
This is my father.

Nice to meet you, I'm Avi.
Assaf, come with me.

- I'll be right back.
- Okay.

- Assaf?
- Come in, please.

Have a seat. Enjoy.

Tell her dinner's cancelled and
take her out to a restaurant, now!

If Amos can bring a date,
so can I. I demand equality.

Would you like a drink?

You're just trying to do her,
and you're using Noa for it.

So? What's wrong with that?

Noa thinks she's coming
to an intimate family dinner,

her privacy is very
important to her.

Why are you bringing
strangers over?!

Why are you yelling?

They're here. You'll screw
everything up for your brother.

We'll say she's a
relative, okay?

Avi, Meirav. Come here.

My glasses are in the bedroom.
I'll drop them off on Sunday.

What did he buzz for?

Because he lives in Tel Aviv.

He doesn't have a key
to his parents' house?

Be quiet!

Your plot has a lot of
holes in it, madam.

Enough!

Amos! It's been so long
since you came to visit us,

that's not nice.

Where's Noa?
She won't be coming.

What's up with that, Amos?

All my cooking, for nothing.

Shabbat Shalom.

Shabbat Shalom!

Goodness gracious, Amos!
I'll kill you!

So we are allowed
to hug her, huh?

This is for you.

The receipt is inside,
but I bought it in New York.

New York! How lovely!
This is my father, Avi.

This is my little
sister, Meirav,

who is just about
to put the camera away.

- Hi.
- Hi.

From New York!
Your hair is gorgeous.

I haven't let her cut it
since she was five years old.

Look, it's a bowl from New York.
Meirav, Meirav...

That's nice.

This is my brother, Assaf.
They're three years apart.

A little less than that.

So you're behind the eagle suit?

And this is...

I'm Shimrit, nice to meet you.

She's our cousin.
She's religious and...

She's just discovered her faith.

She missed her ride home, to the
North, and had to stay here,

so she won't desecrate
the Sabbath.

She's staying in Amos' old room,
who left home a year ago,

and is now living in Tel Aviv,
on Bar Kochva street,

in a sweet 2.5 bedroom
apartment, with a balcony.

Okay.

Noa... I will personally give you
the grand tour of Dahari Mansion.

- Cool.
- Let's go.

But don't show her our bedroom.

You won't believe the shirts
I'm about to show you.

Check this out.

And who's our religious cousin?

She's your brother's date,
and she's not really religious.

And she's not really our cousin.
What are all these lies for, Mom?

And why do we have to lie that
you have a 2.5 bedroom apartment

on Ben Yehuda street?
Bar Kochva street!

Bar Kochva street,
what's the difference?

When I dated Gali Atari,
she accepted me as I was.

You never dated Gali Atari,

and if she accepted you as you were,
what are you doing here, with me?

Because I left her!

I don't think you should be ashamed
of living with your parents.

You should be proud of it, it doesn't
make her any better than you.

No one is saying it makes
her any better than you,

but it might give her the
impression that he's a loser,

and she has standards. -A loser?
He's the hardest worker there is!

Not now, Dad!

You're right, but I already
got myself into this mess,

so just help me get through
this dinner in one piece.

And you, why are you glued
to that bowl? Put it aside.

This one already
had an eagle on it, see?

And this one...
You have no idea.

I found this one in Turkey,
on some pedestrian's back.

Right there,
without a second thought,

I pulled out 150 Euros to buy
it from him. Just like that.

But it says here
it's from Castro.

Oh... maybe it's another one, then.
Did your sister ask about me?

- Hold on...
- No.

Maybe it's this one.
You're not my sister's type.

My sister is into
girls with big boobs.

Cheer up. I'll refer you
to my mother's surgeon.

He'll also do your nose,
while he's at it.

Is the tour over yet?
Come on, let's eat.

Just a minute.
Let me show you Amos' old room.

Leave her alone. Just a minute.

I want to familiarize her
with our home. Check it out.

She's a bombshell, isn't she?
She's so hip.

Didn't we agree to talk
after she leaves?

I have a business
proposition for Noa.

No, you don't. -I just need a picture
of her with this, and I'll go.

"Shimshon's Auto Shop"? Now way!

Shimshon will give both of them
5 years of free service.

The valve on her tires costs
more than his entire auto shop.

Tell your son thank you,
but no thank you.

He installed a new corroborator
in your car two months ago,

and didn't charge you a penny.
Show some support, Amalia.

I'll pay him. I'll
pay him, goodbye.

Enough with you!

I can't believe you
moved only out a year ago.

This room is tiny.

Size doesn't matter, it's what
you do with it that counts.

I'm even more surprised to hear
that you still live here.

You do know that there's no way any
really hot girl will ever date

a guy who sleeps next door
to his parents, right?

You know that a girl like that
must be very superficial, right?

The air conditioning shaft.
Noa, check this out.

This is connected directly to
the air conditioner in my room,

so whenever one of us
had a girl over,

the other would listen in
from the other end.

You can hear everything, I have
to show you. Check it out.

Amos, enough with the humping!
I'm trying to get some sleep!

I'm trying to sleep, Amos!

Come on, let's eat.

This room is really tiny.

It's going great.
You all need to calm down.

Why? It's awesome,
look how much fun she's having.

Mom!

As we do every Friday night, we'll
recite Kiddush before dinner.

Why are we reciting Kiddush?
We're traditional.

We haven't recited Kiddush
in 15 years.

Avi, I bet Noa has never
taken part in Kiddush,

and she will find it
very exciting.

Is that why we're doing this?

I actually have experienced it, so
you don't have to do it for my sake.

So maybe we don't really need
to recite it. -Avi.

Mom, forget about Kiddush,
Let's eat.

Okay, sit don't.
We won't recite Kiddush.

But you have to
do it, don't you?

Me? Why?
You just found your faith.

That's right, Assaf.
I have to recite Kiddush.

Let it be Kiddush.

Okay, Kiddush it is.

Dad, may I? -Go ahead.
Thank you.

"The sixth day. And the heavens and
the earth and all that filled them"

"were complete..."

"Incoming call: Vanessa."

"And He refrained on the seventh
day from all His labour"

"which He had preformed. And God
blessed the seventh day..."

"Vanessa: Why won't
Amos answer me?"

"Rabbis, guests and
colleagues..." -Cheers. -Cheers.

"Blessed are You, the Lord our God,
creator of the fruit of the vine".

- Amen.
- Amen.

Now we may sit.

Dad, shall we sing like we always do?
Of course.

Why are you so stressed out?

They're all running on full
speed, like the breaks are out.

The soup is great, Amalia.

Enjoy it. I hope
it's not too spicy.

I can't even touch pastries.
It goes straight to my hips.

You have to try a piece
of my brother's challah bread.

You made this?

It's amazing.
We're using loads of sugar.

Today he added extra sugar,
especially for you.

Amalia, I can't wait
for the entrees.

They smell amazing.

Now that I think about it,
you can't eat any of this.

It's all been cooked
after Shabbat started.

Slick, watch it.
Isn't she religious?

She's just found her faith.
She can't eat here.

Here, have some more salad.

It's all good, we're okay.

It has some fried onion that I
made yesterday, is that alright?

Give her some fenugreek.

Poor thing. I'm sorry.

Good evening, everyone!

Shosh!

Noa Hollander, I'm sorry
for the interruption.

My son has been very sick
for several years now.

His auto shop is
on the verge of bankruptcy.

I'm begging you, do a good deed and
take a picture with this sign.

I don't believe it.

This is Shosh, my neighbor
and former best friend.

Her son isn't sick,
and his business is doing great.

What's with all the lies, Shosh?

Do you want to
talk about lies, Amalia?

I want my spare key back, right now.
Noa, I'm begging you...

She won't be taking
any pictures.

That's her decision to make!
No, it's my decision to make!

What is this? A dictatorship?

I can't stand this any longer.
Let's go, Noa.

No, don't go!

Don't leave because of me, I'll go.
So go already!

Amos, don't leave!
We're not going anywhere.

Amos, sit down.
Everything's fine.

Come here, Shosh.
Give me the sign.

Noa, you really
don't have to do this.

It's fine, sweetie,
it's just a stupid sign.

Sit down, your mother
is about to pass out.

Sit down, sweetie.

Noa, please.
May I stay with you for a while?

I'm a 65 year old widow, and I'm
all alone on Friday nights.

You're not a widow,
you're divorced.

What's the difference?

Here we are.

Make some room.

Noa, have some of
my stuffed peppers.

That's my recipe, isn't it?
You wish.

Noa, I don't know if Amos
told you, but I'm a singer.

"And I shoot you with arrows,
and injure you with lies,"

"and the skies
are filled with stars..."

I don't personally know Eyal Golan,
but if it is important to you,

my manager can make
a few phone calls.

That means so much to me,
I've got goosebumps.

Look, I'm a seal!

Have you tried the mujaddara?
I made it especially for you.

Have you been to Africa?
We were born there.

My father opened a hotel
in Zanzibar, on the beach.

It's amazing.

A guy fell off a roof,

and his friend yelled to him
from the window,

"Hey, are you hurt?"
and he says:

"Hold on, I'm not there yet!".

It never fails.

Have a stuffed pepper and a meat patty.
I also gave you that recipe.

Look at Dad's expression!

Look how talented my son is.

I knew that'd turn
up eventually.

I've kept everything.

I took drawings of his out
of the trash and laminated them.

He's got magic fingers.

When he was in kindergarten,

they had a wall with all
the kid's drawings,

and another wall just for Amos,
right in front of the door.

His teacher was crazy about him.

What's with you and porcupines?

I don't know.

I just think they're
the cutest animals in the world,

but no one' gives them a chance,
because of all the...

Because when he was 13,
he gave a porcupine a chance,

and ended up with 7 spines
in his right hand.

We spent half the day
in the emergency room.

He was crying like a baby.

Shut up.
Were you crying, really?

Was he crying? He was screaming.

"Get these things out of me!
Get these things out of me!".

He thought he was on his death bed,
he started saying his goodbyes,

working on his will.
You're exaggerating, as always.

Tell her the truth, Dad.
Was I crying?

You may have shed a tear or two.
Because it burned, that's why.

You're such a little girl.

He's the prettiest
girl in Bat Yam.

I don't understand
why you never studied art.

- He got into Bezalel.
- Meirav.

- You studied at Bezalel?
- No.

He got in, but
decided not to go.

What? Why not?

What's this Bezalel
you're talking about?

It's one of the most prestigious
art schools in the country.

Okay, is the exhibition over?

Assaf, don't you want
some of Mom's cookie cake?

I'm dying for a piece.

Let's go.

What are you doing? You idiot!

I'm sorry, cousin.

"Cousin"? Is she Sima's daughter?
Shosh!

- Cousin...
- Just leave me alone.

Avi, you got some on you, too.
Go change your shirt.

Isn't Sima's daughter
12 years old?

It was an accident, I swear.
Go away!

I'm being humiliated here!

Why are you saying that? You're
perfect as a religious girl,

you have to study acting.
Leave me alone!

Your mother's laughing at me,

and you're flirting with that wide
eyed cow right in front of me.

You're singing her songs
and dropping food on me?

You don't understand, I have
to hide my passion for you.

I'm hungry!

There's a full table of food
and I can't touch a thing!

And why is your sister
torturing me?

I'm this close to

telling everyone
she's a stinking lesbian!

Are you insane?
You'll give my parents a stroke!

You all are disrespecting me.

I wish I never came
to see that snob!

I want to go home now!
Take me home, right now!

Take me home, now!
Don't yell, please!

You don't need to clear the
table, you're our guest of honor.

It's okay, Shosh just asked me
if my father's into older women.

I'm so sorry.

We're all a little excited,
and we don't know how to behave.

I'm sure you can understand.
It's okay.

- Amalia?
- Yes, sweetie?

Why didn't Amos go to Bezalel?

To that course in Jerusalem?

It was his decision not to go.

Why not? Because
of his girlfriend?

Because of that downer? No way.

Look, a few years back,
his father had liver surgery,

and he had to stay in bed
for almost six months.

Someone had to
fill his place at work,

so Amos took over the business,
God bless him.

So he gave up painting?

No, he didn't give it up,
it's a hobby of his.

You can't make a living from it.

You can make a great living
from it.

Amalia, two of my friends
who went to Bezalel

are showing their work
in New York right now,

and I don't think Amos is any
less talented than they are.

I'm not a big art expert, but
judging by what I've seen so far,

there's something there
that I just can't ignore.

It's very exciting, really.

Did you hear what
she's been saying about you?

I excite you?

Well, you know...

You're so nice together!

This boy is the love of my life.
He's a real prize.

Come with me, I made you a cake.

Give me 17 Hollanders,
all naked and horny,

and I'd still prefer you, with
your cloths on. How about that?

You're lying to me.

I've never lied to you.

We've only known each other
for three days.

I've lied to girls
I've known for 15 minutes,

but not you. You're different.

"You are unique, and there's
a special charm about you,"

"which draws me
closer to you..."

What?

Nothing.

What's with the long faces?

"Vanessa: Shosh just told my mom
you're dating Noa Hollander. WTF?!"

Fucking shit!

Who wants cake?

She's downstairs.
Who? What's wrong?

Vanessa.

Your ex-girlfriend?

You're toast.

Clam down.
I'll go down and talk to her.

- Let's hide Noa.
- What?

So it's true.

Vanessa, let's not make a scene.
Let's go talk downstairs.

I'm not making a scene.
I'm completely calm.

I just wanted to see if it's
true, and now I'll leave.

But I want
to ask you something first.

Have you no heart?

Any of you?

Meirav?

Have you really forgotten me
that fast? Within a week?

And you've replaced
me with a girl

whose only advantage over me is money?
Vanessa.

Don't "Vanessa" me!

Everyone here can see that I'm seven
times more beautiful than she is,

both inside and out!

She's ugly, she's as skinny
as an Ethiopian from Somalia.

You're all blinded
by her bank account.

And you...

You can get anyone you want.

Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt,
Yon Tomarkin.

Out of all the men in the world,
you had to take mine? My man?

I'll beat her up! -Calm down!
You're out of control!

My heart is out of control,
Amalia! It's my heart!

Enough, Vanessa. Calm down.
It's Friday, it's not nice.

I won't calm down as long as
Amos is dating that bimbo!

But Amos and Noa aren't dating!
That's a lie!

I'm calling my friends
from the local radio right now,

and I'll tell them all about
how you stole a man from a woman

who was 80 percent engaged! You're finished!
- Calm down already!

Calm down!

Mom's telling you the truth. Noa
and Amos aren't dating. Enough.

Noa and I are dating.

I couldn't believe it
about Amos, but you?

We're madly in love, we can't
keep our hands off each other.

Stop it, Assaf. That's enough.

Noa and Assaf aren't
dating, Venessa.

Assaf is dating this girl, whose name,
if I'm not mistaken, is Shimrit.

Good God! She's your cousin!

She's not really our cousin,
and she's not religious.

And I assume she doesn't live
in the North, either.

My brother must have met her two days ago.
Three days.

And I don't really live
in Tel Aviv, Noa.

I live here, with my parents,
in that tiny room.

I tried to tell you a few times
when we were in London, but...

I don't know, I couldn't.
I was too nervous.

London?

You went to London together?

What's going on here?

My son is the man,
that's what's going on here.

Okay.

Thank you very much
for the delicious dinner.

Dessert was great.

Avi, Shabbat Shalom.

Amalia, thank you.

Noa...

You do know that
it all was from...

a stupid need to
impress you, right?

You don't want to talk?

Everything's fine, Amos. Really.

Okay, bye.

What's with the act?

No act. I swear I'm not angry.

So can I come inside to talk?

No, two of my
girlfriends are coming over.

Come over on Sunday.

Tomorrow I can bring over some
jachnun, would you like that?

Amos...

I think we're moving
a little too fast.

Okay? I need a minute to think.

We'll talk on Sunday?

Okay.

Listen, Noa...
I know everything's messed up.

Ever since we met, it was all
going too fast for me too,

and it was all messed up,
and sometimes,

when everything's messed up,
you do messed up things,

and you lie like an idiot.
Amos...

Wait, give me a minute.

I have feelings for you.

I felt something the moment
I saw you in the bathroom,

but it's stronger now...

You can't leave me alone
with the decision...

Hello.

Hi.

This is Amos, I had dinner
at his house tonight.

This is...
Boaz. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

You can help us choose,
Rear Window or Dirty Dancing?

Boaz, give us a minute.

- Alright?
- Yes, sure.

Go for Dirty Dancing, if you're
trying to get into a romantic mood.

Nobody puts Baby in the corner.

Thanks. I'll go put it on.

Your two girlfriends, huh?

I got it. Good night.

Amos...

Amos, hold on a second.

It's okay, Noa. It's all good.
I'm not angry.

I don't even know
what I was thinking.

He's a hot millionaire,

and I'm a broke baker
who lives with his parents.

I totally get it.

Shabbat Shalom.

Amos!

Amos, I'm talking to you!

Are you coming?

It was an adventure. You marked
Gidon's daughter off the list.

Honey, these are amazing photos,
we're sitting on a fortune.

Now it's time to stop eating candy
and to start eating healthy.

Remember this moment, because
you're about to crap your pants.

I have something
good to tell you.

Amos? Where are you going
in the middle of the night?
