Lehiyot Ita (2013–2021): Season 2, Episode 4 - In a wedding dress - full transcript

Remember my former partner's son?

He was my best friend.

My 11 hotels in South Africa
are stuck because of him.

I'm on the verge of bankruptcy.

Yair, that's too tight.

Why are you looking at them?
Chill.

I want her to look at me too.

Marry me.

We left the country to start over

but my dad didn't make it.

One year later he collided head on with a truck.



He had it coming,
but I think he gets it now.

This was a good idea,
getting us together.

You have no idea
how I just saved his life.

I do have one condition,

if you want to build your hotels in Africa,

I want Noa for one night.

You decide what you want to give me,

your business or your daughter.

Gideon!

Hello?
- How's it going, gorgeous?

What's up, dude?

I called you a few times this week,
you didn't pick up or get back to me.

I'm a busy woman,
but I answered now.

Dude, I finally call you
once in 700 years



you better pick up and fast!
Got it?

Got it.

What do you want?

Hello?

Noa, let's do it now.

You don't say a word,
I'll do all the talking,

okay?

What?

9pm, dinner at your place,
I'll bring the wine, we'll get drunk and...

we'll see where the night takes us.

I don't think Amos will like that idea.

Great, then without him.

Text me the address.
- Chill out, dude.

I'll ask Amos
and I'll text you, okay?

Dude, I want to see you.

We said we'd get back in touch.

We did, I'll ask him
and I'll text you.

Can I hang up now?

First say you can't stop thinking about me.
- Bye.

Who was that?

Start walking.

New painting, Kipi?

New, old.
- Nice.

It's lovely, isn't it?

I like the smear technique.

What's going on, Gucci?

Why are you guys ambushing me?
- Okay, you're on to us.

I want to make a proposal
and I want you to keep an open mind, okay?

First give it some thought,
then start whining.

Why are you smiling?
- She's sure you'll say no,

but I believe in you, Amos.

Get to the point, Gucci.

How about a campaign
with you and the Mrs.

for a new scratch card,

"Chance card"?

Like an ad with you and me.
- Not "like," Kippy,

a TV commercial, huge billboards
with your face on them,

a fat check in the bank
with your name on it,

the whole thing!

Now I know you're modest
and shy and withdrawn

and all that Sephardi stuff, but...

this is important, Amos.
To me, to her,

that why it's important to you.
- Fine. -Hold on... what?

I said I'd do it.

What? A billboard could be awesome.

And if I can help you out, why not?

Amos, I think I love you.

You move me, Tzvika.
- Liliana, yes, yes,

go ahead, sure.
Just a sec.

No, no, not in my office...

'coz I don't have an office!

No, at Noa's house. Yes.
- Cool.

Just remember that you wanted this.

Don't later say, "you twisted my arm."

Okay, he was referring
to a giant billboard, right? -Yes.

Respect.

Oh, and if he asks you
about the meeting with my father

or about Yair,
your lips are sealed.

That's new.

Since when do you keep secrets from him?

The only person in this world
I don't keep secrets from is you.

No one wants to buy those lands,

not the Italians, not the Swedes,
not the Koreans, not the Russians,

even if we pay them to.

Call the Korean,
talk to Chin Wa,

tell him I'll take off 15%
and that he owes me.

Gideon, he'll make fun of me,
this is embarrassing, I'm not calling.

What about Altman?
- What about him?

He can solve all your problems
but you punched the man in the face.

What do you want me to do,

send my daughter to him in gift wrap?

The nerve of that loser.
I should have kneed him in the balls.

I should have.

What did Noa say?

About his ultimatum?
You think I told her?

As far as she's concerned,
we worked everything out.

Call the Korean.

We both know it's a waste of time.

Gideon, if you crash and burn

she loses everything too...

Call her at least,
let her decide.

To tell her that she has to have sex
with that smug moron?

If it can save your life, then yes.

Eden,

there are times
when you should just keep your mouth shut!

Gideon...

Shut up!

This is my business, she's my daughter
and you're the hired help.

If you forget that
you'll go back to where I found you,

in the gym, serving coffee.
Is that clear?

And settle things with Noa,
because she won't rest until I fire you.

You settle things with Yair
because he won't rest until he destroys you.

Call the Koreans.

Wow, wow, wow, wow,
wow, wow, wow, wow,

what a bonanza.

The color's to die for, right Mom?

White, perfect, special.

Just a few alterations

and you can take it next week.

White represents a clean slate,

the new life of Vanessa Maimon.

Amos, his family, Noa the sleaze,

I'll show all of them up in this dress.

Isn't it a bit revealing, sweetie?

No, it's perfect, the color's perfect,
everything's perfect.

Now we have to make sure
the price is perfect.

How much is it, love?
- 140,000.

Valentino.

Perhaps you... Squeeze the price a bit?

This is haute couture,

"Squeeze" can be found on not couture.
- Got it.

Shit! He's giving me a ticket.

Hey! -Officer, leave my car alone.
- Why are you giving her a ticket?

She's allowed to park here.

In a red no parking zone...
- Officer, are you insane?

My future husband is color blind.

Don't worry,
he'll cancel the ticket,

but until then he'll stand out here
every day and keep the customers away.

I can talk to him,

but I want a "squeeze"...

Well? What do you think?
- Wow.

It makes you look like a divorcee.

And it distorts your waist.
No, no, take it off.

Are you out of your minds?
She looks amazing!

You look...
Amos, tell her she looks amazing.

She always looks amazing,
but I prefer the red one.

Got it. -No.

No, no, no, no,
babe, we gotta go. Enough!

Great, Amos,

you're just holding us up.
We're late for your meeting

with the ad agency to hear about
your debut campaign,

but if you don't care, so be it.
- Now you're talking.

Noa, 2 minutes and we're outta here.
You're holding up my billboard.

Tell me,

what was that meeting with her father about?

When? -Dinner, at the restaurant.

Oh, that... nothing special.

Hold the...

Listen, Amos,

I know you're spellbound by Gideon.

And Noa's starting to crack too,

but the fact that he's here,
the fact that he's extra nice,

it's very fishy to me.
- Okay.

I know you know
how much Noa means to me,

so I'm asking you, Amos Dahari,

is there anything I should know?

No, no, no.
- Are you sure?

Yes.
- 100 percent sure?

Okay.
- So I decided on the one for Jerusalem

and one for Amsterdam.
- Awesome,

why aren't you showing us?

Because I love them
and I don't care what you think.

I also got you a meeting
with all the top designers in Amsterdam

to see wedding gowns.
- No.

In Amsterdam I only want
to hang out with this guy...

in a haze.

But Noa, what about a wedding gown?

You wanna get stuck with an Israeli designer?
- Yes,

we`ll support a local product.
- We need the Israelis on our side.

I'd rather take cyanide.

Great idea, Maya.
You need a glass of water?

What's wrong with that dress?

It's a Valentino...

Awesome. We'll support importing.

Pack it up.
Don't look, it's bad luck.

But it's been sold.
- But it's still here,

and Noa will pay 3 times more.
- That's not it,

I would give it to Noa for free, but...

Done!

That's so nice of you.

Okay, I'm outta here.

Say hi to Masada.

It's gorgeous. Let's see.

On your toes.

Listen, I have an amazing idea.

What are you doing?

Writing an email to the Koreans.
No, I need you to get on this now.

I want a date

with Yair's mother.

Yair Altman?

Ditty Altman. She called me a few years ago,
I never called back,

because I thought she wanted money.

Find her, tell her I'm here
and that I want to see her.

Isn't she in South Africa? -No, she wrote to me
as soon as she got back.

Gideon, what good will it do?
- I want to settle things with that idiot.

But I can't talk to him because he's an idiot
and a baby. How do you handle a baby?

You talk to his mother.

Right. She was crazy about me
until I dumped her.

What if she won't want to see you?
- Eden,

You're Eden Aviram,
work your magic.

And make me some nettle tea.

I feel as if
I have mud in my kidneys.

Okay...

What's up, Limor?

Good morning, Daphna.

Let's go to her office.

What's going on, Vanessa?

Everyone's horrific.
- Why? He's cute.

How about giving him a chance?

Out!

Did you get "SHE" for me?

Daphna, look at this wall,

all my clients in all their glory

and you have your own wall.

We both know I'm your only client.

Not at all,
I signed them this week.

Vanessa, honey,

you downloaded these pictures from Google
in low res.

and that's Nicki Minaj.

Did you get "SHE" for me?

Daphna, I said it would take time.

And I said I don't have time.

They'll sign someone else
if you don't hurry up.

Don't answer that,
I'm talking to you.

MRI.

Is this a hospital?

This is Vanessa Maimon's office,
who is this?

I'm calling from "Masada in the Square."

My favorite shop.

Vanessa, hang up now, or...
- Hold on, sweetie.

Is my dress ready?
- I have bad news,

your wedding dress was sold.

Sold?
I put down a deposit.

I know, I'm so sorry, but...

if it's of any consolation
it was sold to Noa Hollander.

It's nice to know
you have the same taste, no?

Hello. -Hi!

How are you, sweetheart?
- Fine. -Hello.

Pleasure. -Amos, this is Liliana,
the biggest fox in advertising.

I did some 17 campaigns with her.

And we'll do another 17
because this woman is the best in the biz.

And he's not exaggerating.

Meet Stav,

our genius art director.
- Amos.

We prepared something for you to die for.
Come on in.

Noa, this house is insane.

Is it Lerman? -Yes.
- We're in construction now.

Oh yeah?
- You gotta hook me up.

What are you doing here?

We're going to be on TV, Amos.

"Life changes in a flash"

Your first family campaign.

Except your little sister
who didn't want to be in it.

Dad, look how ugly you came out.

You're not photogenic, Avi.

He looks like the creature
from "Lord of the Rings."

"My precious..."

You think you look any better?

You look like a poodle.
- She does!

Tzvika, is this the campaign photo?

I look like a poodle!
- Amalia, it's only a simulation,

there's going to be a photo shoot,
don't worry, you'll look like...

A prize winning chihuahua.

There will be a few photo shoots,
this commercial will be top notch,

we'll make sure you look like royalty,

a Yemenite royal family.

Okay, Amos,

sit back, relax,
let Stav take you on the journey.

Stav, go ahead.

Early morning,
the first rays of sun

shine on a small, kosher bakery.

A family is inside.
A strong, striking man.

That's me. -The pretty,
delicate mother with the golden hands,

and a young baker, down to earth,
kneads dough, sweats.

That's me.
- Amos.

Amos wipes the sweat, takes his shirt off,
revealing an enviable six pack.

Boom! New scene!

Our baker is walking along the street,
he sees a billboard with a stunning model,

it's Noa fuckin' Hollander...

in a bikini...
- Oh no it isn't.

No.

Totally dressed.
- Yes.

He waves to her and thinks,

"She will never be mine,"

"but how cool if she was."

Next scene. The baker buys
a scratch card at a lottery stand,

he has one square left to scratch
to see if he won.

A sudden gust of wind!
- Oh no.

He runs after the card,
almost catches it

and then the card lands
by a woman's beautiful legs.

She picks up the card...

It's Noa fuckin' Hollander in the flesh.

She hands him the card,
his hand touches hers,

love.

Uh...

forgive me, sugar,

where's the baker's brother?
- Soon.

Last scene. A stunning castle,
food galore, chandeliers.

Noa fuckin' Hollander feeds our baker
red strawberries,

the entire family is in designer clothes,

the father, the mother,
the hot brother. -Oh!

The sister, if she'll want to be in it...
- She won't,

but instead I have a hot Spanish chick.

Get over it.

And behind them, in a frame, on the wall,

the scratch card,
one square left untouched...

Narrator.

"Life changes in a flash,
chance card."

Awesome. -Liliana,

chapeau.
- Thank you.

Wasn't that amazing, Avi? Wow.

Yes, but I think my part is too small.

Mine too.
You blink and you miss me.

And can my girlfriend, Blanca, get in?

Listen, we'll make any changes you want,

in addition to the very fair pay
that Tzvika arranged for you.

6,000 dollars, 6,000 dollars,

3,000 dollars,

40,000 dollars and...

Uh uh!

Confidential.

And we'll shoot it in the bakery,

that will bring in tons of new customers.

We start shooting next week,
airing in 3 weeks,

the campaign will run for a year?
- Yes.

Well, what do you say?

Noa?

For me it's a go.

And obviously the Daharis are in, so...

Now we have to ask good looking here
what he thinks.

Of course.
- I'm good with whatever you decide.

I...

Daharis,

give us 5 minutes.

Sure. I'm so excited!

Avi, get up,
there's no one at the bakery. Up.

There is help there,
everything's under control.

Bye.
- Get Blanca a part, Amos.

Sure, bro.
- Bye, Daharis.

Bye, Noa.
Bye, Ilana.

Liliana.

What a strange name, Liliana.

You're not going to say no, Amos.

You can pass on the partial nudity,

but it will bring you tons of female fans.
- And male fans. -No, no, it's not that...

What?

I really appreciate everything you've done,

but...

I don't...

I don't think we should make a commercial
about us.

Then who, Amos,

Some other celebrities?
Help me out here.

If you had told me the concept in advance,
I would have told you he won't agree.

And if that's how he feels,
lay off him.

But let's see

if we can fix this,
we'll do anything.

No, I just don't...

Why does it have to be the poor baker
who falls in love with the rich girl

and then his life becomes
strawberries and chandeliers?

Because that's your life?
- No, it's not.

Amos,

what is this?
What's going on?

You said you want to make a commercial.
- Yes. -I said I'm in. -Okay.

But if it's about Noa saving me from poverty,
then forget it,

I won't do it.
- Amos,

you're going to break your parents' heart.

They left here thinking this is happening,

you saw how excited they were.

What will you tell them?

The truth.

And they'll accept it.
You know why, Tzvika? -Why?

Because unlike you
they respect me and my feelings.

Why are you doing this?!

Mom, calm down and let me explain.

Don't take this away from me, Amos!
- Don't take this away from her, Amos!

Don't take it away!
The fame, the money,

you want to throw that all away?!

How much money did he say it was, Assaf?
- Thousands of dollars.

Thousands!
You know what I can do with thousands?

Why are you doing this to me?
- Why?

Because he doesn't need it, Mom,
he has Noa.

And we have half a pita...
- Assaf...

Think about your dad,

this is an opportunity
to pay back the debt on the bakery,

maybe renovate a little.
- Renovate?

With this money we can open
a chain of "Avi and sons and branches."

And you're ruining it why...?
Because you're the poor baker?

Hello, wake up, you are a poor baker.

Right.

We're dirt poor compared to them.

Are you done?
Can I talk now?

The last thing I want to do is bum you out,

but as it is everyone thinks

I should kiss the ground
for each day I'm with her,

and I don't want the entire country
to look at me that way.

What?
But that's what we think too.

That's already what everybody thinks.

No, maybe it's what you think,
but not my mother.

No... Mom, I'm shocked.

Gideon's Eden:
"Can you come outside?"

I'll be right back.
- Where are you going?

I was in labor with you for 20 hours,
no epidural!

You owe me, Amos, you hear?
- You owe her.

What's up?

I was about to go in
when I heard the shouting.

You okay?

That wasn't shouting,
that's how we talk.

You came to take me somewhere again?
I'd love that this time.

I actually came to ask for a favor.

Tell me if you don't want to.

Talk to me.

I want you to convince Noa
to talk to me, today.

Okay. What's this about?

Cut the crap, Amos.

Listen, I'd love to help out, but...

Awesome, so you'll do it?

We'll get screwed coz of his insecurity.
- Right.

Now he's the deprived Sephardi...

The commercial will do us all a world of good.

She's right, by the way.

You have to do it.

Do you even know
what we're talking about?

I've been listening to your shouting
for 15 minutes...

Then why do I have to do it?

You really don't get it, do you?

Everyone loves you, Amos, hands down.

You have a killer smile,

you still work at your job
even though you're with her,

you're one of them.

You're everything Noa is not
and they want you on TV!

They want you to be a star.

Then give it to them.
Give it to your family,

give it to your girlfriend
who needs it badly, by the way,

after the "Racist Noa" incident.

Everyone benefits, everyone knows it,
everyone but you.

Hold on.

Did you find her?
- Yes.

You did?
- I emailed you 10 minutes ago.

You have a table at "Villa Socca" at 8.

With Ditty Altman?

Yes, Gideon, it's what you wanted.

So you talked to her

and she said she wants to see me?

She sounded surprised at first,

but I guess she has a soft spot for you.

So she'll be there, okay?

Now let me go,
I have to square things with your daughter.

Great. You see?
Everything will be fine, trust Gideon.

I always trust you, Gideon.

Get in.

Where to?

You said you want to see Noa, right?

I wanna get outta here.

I told you he would say no.

Then I said that even if he says yes

he might change his mind.

Tzvika, I'm not going to try and convince him.

No...

I'll call you back.

Then drink some water and chill.
Bye.

What is she doing here?

She's here to see you.

And tell Tzvika that I...

I'll do the commercial.

She convinced me to.

Hi. -Hi.

Sorry to come unannounced,

can we talk?

About what?

Listen, I'll...

change clothes and join you.

Thanks, Amos.
- Sure thing.

Yes, thanks, Amos.

Stop it, be nice.

Hey, Gili. - This woman wants to come in.
- How rude! -Says she knows you.

Open up now!
- Who is that, Vanessa?

Tell him to come out
of his ivory tower,

or let me in, who does he think he is?
- I'll be right there.

Open the gate! -Calm down!
- Don't you touch me!

Who touched you? -You did!
Get 17,000 guards over here, I don't care,

you don't scare me!
- Sweetie, I'm not a guard, I'm a gardener.

Vanessa, what are you doing?

I'm filming this

and if I don't get
my wedding dress back... -What?

I'll post this online

so everyone can see
the sweet, cute Amos they love.

What wedding dress, Vanessa?

Don't play innocent with me!

Excuse me.

"Dude, today's no good for me"

Yes, go ahead.

I want to tell you something

and I want you to listen carefully, okay?

Don't get all hostile on me.

Hold on.

"You're afraid to see me, admit it."

Yes, I'm listening.

A few months ago I decided
that I want to leave your dad.

I'm sure you know why.

I was sick of his childishness,
his temper tantrums,

I was sick of his midnight calls
telling me to buy a camel.

And I missed my family.

So I went to his office,

convinced that in 5 minutes
I'd be unemployed,

and I found him thrashing on the floor,
he couldn't breathe.

I instantly called for help,

I gave him mouth to mouth,
no clue what I'm doing,

and somehow he made it.

Since then he considers me
his guarding angel.

We formed a bond,

maybe it was a sign
that I can't leave him,

you know?
- What are you trying to say,

that if you leave him he'll die?

I'm trying to say

that if you keep asking him to,
he'll fire me,

because you're important to him
and he'll do what you want.

But I don't want to leave Gideon alone.

He's not alone anymore.

My father loves you.

And I love him.

And no, not like you once insinuated.

He always had pretty secretaries,

he always spoiled them
with amazing gifts.

Did he get you a jeep yet?

Did he give you a 50,000 dollar bonus
just because he was in a good mood?

My mother and I used to watch
how his secretaries got all the love

that my mother didn't.

And now, if he wants my love,

it will stop. With you.

Don't take it personally.

Noa, I know it hasn't been...
- With Amos too.

Don't give him advice,

don't help him,

don't convince him
to do a commercial for me, alright?

Okay.
- Thank you.

Great, you're both smiling.
- We're good.

I'm off.

Bye, Noa. -Bye.

Thanks, Amos.

You're so beautiful.

That's the last time you do that to me.

One before last?

Red wine, please.

Make it something good.

She'll decide.

Well?

Give me a bottle.

You could be my father,
you know that?

Sadly, the bottle isn't for us,
I have a date,

but until she gets here
we can exchange phone numbers.

Hi, honey.

Hey, what's up, Rocky Balboa?

Are you alright, babe?
Is he bothering you?

Can't you see you're too fat for her?

Yair, what a coincidence.

You know each other?
- Sure we do.

What are you doing here?
You have a date too?

Absolutely.

You're so dense.
You don't get it, do you?

I'm your date.

My mother won't be here.

But what is it she asked me to say?

"Tell that stupid loser"

"that I don't want to see him, not today,"

"not ever."

Join us.
- No, thank you.

I really want to know...

what did you think would happen?

She would come here,
you'd give her a sob story,

"Yair is taking all my toys,
Yair is threatening me."

Enjoy the wine.
- We will, we will.

Gidi, wait up.

You forgot to apologize for this.

Yair, relax,

your dad thought he could outsmart me too

and we know how that ended.

You see?

This is Liora, she's...

a financial reporter I'm fooling around with.

Now that I think about it,
I didn't leak the fact

that you're stone broke,

that you're running on empty, right?

You will apologize
for what you did to my eye

or I'll give her a headline

that she will be grateful for all night

and any loser that ever did business with you
will know that the Hollander hotels...

are no longer.

Yair, what's going on?

Honey, did you know I'm a mind reader?

In exactly 10 seconds...

Grandpa here will say:

"Yair Altman, I apologize
for what I did to your eye"

"and I'm a jerk for thinking
that I could mess with you."

10, 9, 8...

What are you, a baby?
- 7, 6, 5,

4...
- I'm sorry, Yair.

"Yair Altman, I apologize
for what I did to your eye"

"and I'm a jerk for thinking
that I could mess with you."

3, 2...

Yair Altman...
- Yair Altman! So I can hear you.

Where's that beautiful voice of yours?

"Yair Altman..."

Yair Altman, I apologize
for what I did to your eye

and I...
- I'm a jerk!

And I'm a jerk for thinking
that I could mess with you.

We'll meet again soon, bro,

you have an important decision
to make about your daughter.

What was that?

You took my dress, Noa.

The dress I dreamt about since I was 3.

The dress I put down a deposit for.

The dress I worked for

and got a 17% discount on.

I didn't know it was yours.

How easy it is
for the great Noa Hollander

to walk into a shop
and take little Vanessa's dress.

And I want it back.

I have every right

because A, I found it first,

B, I'm emotionally attached to it

and C,

I'm sure it's too big on you in the boobs.

Okay,

it's yours.

What?

Just like that?

You see?

I told you.

It's all good, I'll find another one.

And I'm happy you're getting married.

You don't hate me?

I know you hate me.

No, I don't hate you.

Maybe you hate me?

I really hate you.

Most of the time.

I suggest a truce.

I'll give you back your dress
and we'll declare a ceasefire, okay?

You can even come to my premiere
if you want.

Bring your fiancé.

I'll tell Tzvika to send an invitation
to your office.

Alright?

Thank you, Noa.

And if there's no one else
who wants to talk to me...

I'm going to take a shower.

Bye, Vanessa.

Wow, what a sweetheart.

She's not pranking me, is she?

No way.

It's so weird being in your house, Amos.

It's huge.

I'll never own a house like this.

Come on, gimme a hug.

It's great to see you.

Vanessa...

Vanessa.

What?

Why do you always have to overreact?

I got my wedding dress back.

Come on, I'll walk you out.

Vanessa.

Come.

Wow, Avi,

you're such a hunk!

Look how pretty I am, huh, Avi?

You look better in real life.

Chance card,
life changes in a flash.

Hey! Where am I?
They cut me out.

And rightfully so.

I was cut out too.

Grandpa, you weren't in the commercial
to begin with.

"Thank you:))))))))"

Anyone for chocolate cake?

Me.
- Meirav.

Take a picture of me near the billboard.

Are you serious?
- Come on.

It's a great souvenir for our kids.
- You're such a pain.

"You're crazy"

This is so surreal.

Not so close.

Smile.
- Okay.

Wait, hold on.

"When can we get together, just you and me?"

Who are you texting?

Nobody, Keren.

"Delete text"

Hurry up.
