Nevsu (2017–2021): Season 1, Episode 2 - Shopping - full transcript

Look, two broken eggs.
Why didn't you check?

Okay, I'll get you another carton.

She's right.
Look, three broken eggs

Why don't you people check?

Who's "you people"?
I don't work here.

Great, you work in produce,
so you don't care about the eggs.

He doesn't work here at all,
he's my husband.

People are crazy.

Yeah, honey,
but you're no help.

You boss me around:
"Go, get, check…"

You want to pay
for broken eggs?



No, but just watch your tone.

People see a white lady yelling at me,
so they think I work here.

She almost sent me
to check in the back.

Every time I come here,
someone does that.

Then don't go.

Why do you go?

Some people ask really nicely,
unlike you.

You know what?
You get what's on here,

I'll get what's on here.

-Great.
-Good luck.

-Young man.
-Yes.

-Could you get one down for me, too?
-Sure.

No, the one from the top shelf.

It's too high, I can't reach.



Then get a ladder.

I don't work for you,
you get a ladder.

How dare you speak to me
like that?!

I could be your mother!

Really?

Look at us.
Does that make sense?

You've got some nerve.

You're going to regret this.

Here, he didn't want to help me.

Why didn't you want to help her?

Because I don't work here.

Don't you know
your own employees?

Aren't you the Ethiopian guy?

Where's the coffee?

-I forgot it.
-And tahini and toilet paper.

You didn't get anything.

What were you doing?

Working. Taking things off shelves,
fighting with my boss.

He's not happy,
he wants to fire me.

I want to fire you, too.

We have to go back.
Turn around.

I'm not going back there.

They'll think
I'm doing overtime.

Let's just stop at the MP.

MP? It's so expensive.

Then maybe they pay well.

I'll check it out.

Don't buy this coffee, nevsu.
It's full of air.

It'll go bad real fast.

It doesn't matter,
I'm double-parked.

Get the big bag.
It's on sale, 50 shekels a kilo.

Seriously? That's cheap.

Malede, get our brother
the coffee that's on sale.

Thank you.

We gotta look out for each other.

Joanech,
the coffee's not on sale anymore.

Then get me
two little bags.

You get
the special Ethiopian price.

What's that?

I'll ring it up
on my employee card

and there's a discount
on the toilet paper with a coupon.

I don't have a coupon.

Now you do.

Wow.

Do you have fresh asparagus?

Yeah, it's in the fridge.

Lady, he's a customer here
just like you.

-Oh, I'm sorry.
-Move on.

Ferenjis think Ethiopians
should always be waiting on them.

You're right,
I wait on them without even thinking.

She comes here in her Jeep,
looking for asparagus,

flashing her diamonds.
I bet she's your type.

No way.

I'm just joking.

But there are Ethiopians
who prefer lame Ferenji women.

Gili, what's taking you so long?

Yeah, I know.

But some Ethiopian women
go with Ferenji guys.

Yuck, never.

With that pink skin
and hair all over their body?

Fat guys with no butt…

Forget it.

That'll be 55.

Wow, all this?
That's cheap.

I thought
it was expensive here.

It is for Ferenjis.
We look out for Ethiopians.

Always shop here.

Come on, Gili!

You turned off the AC,
I'm dying in here.

Want a family-size pizza
that was on sale?

I can give you the sale price…

No, I'm in a hurry.

Want some puff pastries instead?

I'm trying to watch my weight,
thanks.

Nevsu, you got a cat?

Merciful God who dwells on high…

Miki was already the healthiest,
the strongest,

he ran 10 km every day.

I keep telling you:
Run, Yaakov, run.

It didn't do him any good.
I'm in shock.

Shh…

He never ate meat,
ate only organic.

I keep telling you,
eat organic.

-By the way…
-Yes.

Gili also gets fruit and vegetables
cheaper at the MP.

-Is that so?
-Three shekels a kilo.

What about chicken thighs?

What?

Chicken thighs in the middle of a funeral?

-Sorry.
-Sorry, Dad.

-Thirty shekels for organic chicken.
-Is that so?

Look, they're putting him in a drawer
as if he were silverware.

Dad,

it's a small country,
there's not enough room.

The guy saved up his whole life
to buy a villa

and ends up in an apartment building.

Nitza, don't ever put me
in a drawer like that.

I wouldn't mind.

I've always dreamt
of fitting into something small.

Look, there's Ortal.

Ortal!

Didn't she see me?

She saw you, all right,
but she's trying to get away.

Don't be silly,
she didn't see me.

She's with her Ferenji friends,
she's embarrassed.

We embarrass her?

You embarrass her.
I embarrass my kids.

She's not answering.

Ortal!

Look, she's running!

It's true what they say about us,
we sure do run fast.

Gili, you won't believe
what happened today.

Mom, speak Hebrew,
it's impolite.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, I was walking down
the street

and I saw Ortal.

She pretended not to know me
and ran off.

Could she be embarrassed by me?

Tamar, here's a list of things for Gili
to get at the MP.

She's not embarrassed.

She was probably just busy
with her friends.

Who's embarrassed?

It's Ortal,
she's not embarrassed.

She saw my mom
and didn't say hello.

Even so, Alamito,

at her age, all kids are
embarrassed by their parents.

At her age,
I was embarrassed by you!

She always wore ragged clothes
from secondhand dumps.

No, I didn't, it was vintage.

Vintage is a new word for old junk.

Wait, but…

if it bothers Alamito,
let's try and think

what's going on
inside Ortal's head.

What's going on
inside Ortal's head?

First of all…

if you don't mind,
the way you dress.

Alamito, honey, you should come
shopping at the mall with me.

For once,
buy your vegetables

and your clothes separately.

This isn't from the souk.

Was it on a round metal thing
with a number on top?

Yes. A big number.

That's not chic, that's souk.

And the way you talk,
I think it's charming

that you make a mishmash of Amharic
and Hebrew and gibberish,

but to a 16-year-old,
it's awful.

She doesn't want her mother to stand out,
she wants her to fade away.

Okay, I get it,
she's embarrassed by me.

What can I do?

Be cooler.

Buzz off, you jerk.

Buzz off, you jerk.

You sound like Diane Sawyer.

Buzz off.

Buzz off, you lousy jerk.

Good, but don't smile.

You're supposed to be scary.

Buzz off, you lousy jerk.

Buzz off, you lousy jerk.

Buzz off, you lousy jerk.

Buzz off, you lousy jerk.

Good!

Mom, there's Shimon,
practice on him.

Shimon,

what's with these lousy peaches?

That's all I have.

You trying to diss me?

I saw you setting up your friends
with good stuff from the back.

Fine, I'll go get you some.

Now get outta my face
'cause you're ticking me off.

Mom, he got outta your face,
so say something nice.

Shimon, you're the bomb!

Not yet…

I'm so excited.

Is it a holiday cabin?
Horseback riding?

I can tell we're in nature.
Kayaks?

Rafting?

Surprise!

Why are we at a cemetery, Yaakov?

Choose, left or right.

What do you mean,
left or right?

I saw at Miki's funeral

that you were troubled about me
being buried in a dresser,

so I arranged this surprise for us.
Look at nature, take in the view.

Yaakov, couldn't you think
of something else?

Whatever happened to perfume

or a little diamond
or flowers?

But look at all these flowers!

I hope you didn't pay for this.

Of course I did.

The grave market is going nuts,
there's no room.

Whoever doesn't die soon
will have a problem.

I won't be dying any time soon, Yaakov.

My whole life is before me,
as Émile Ajar said.

I didn't ask you
to go in and try it on for size,

but for my own peace of mind,
I thought we should have a place together.

I have peace of mind, Yaakov.

Besides, who said
we have to die together?

Did you bring
some cyanide with you, too?

I didn't say we'd die together, I assumed
one of us would wait for the other.

So if you die,
I have to sit at home

and wait to die?
No, Yaakov.

-No?
-No.

If one of us dies first--
if you die first,

-I hope you'll go out and meet someone.
-Meet who?

A nice woman,
you'll have fun.

You'll date, maybe get married,
and then what'll you say?

"Sorry, I'm going to die
with my first wife"? No.

Wait, you want to lie
beside someone else?

When you die, I'll think about it.

Yes, a plot for one.

There's a lovely view.

No, I don't know
what bus line goes there.

It's the end of the line.

How should I know
if the train's going to go there?

I'll let you know.

What a talker…

Wait, did you already sell
the other plot?

No, I'm only selling yours.

And you're staying there?

Yes, I'm happy
with the property.

Then why didn't you sell my plot
to the lady on the phone?

No way, she talks too much.

You'll be dead,
what do you care?

Unlike you, it matters to me
who'll be buried beside me,

and if I have the privilege
to choose,

I'll take my time
to find the right woman.

Or the right man.

I'm no feigaleh.
What kind of business is that?

Hello?

Yes, it's a plot for one
with a lovely view.

That's what I said.
Who's gonna enjoy the view?

Yes.

Where are you from, Naomi?

Really? Then we're neighbors.

Perhaps we'll remain neighbors.

No, I'd like us to meet.

Yes.

It's the most important decision
I've ever made.

Where?

Okay.

See you there.

See you
only on happy occasions.

You have a date
with the deceased?

I'm going to change.

Change into shrouds,
so she'll know who you are.

Gili, stop off at the MP,

I need a few things.

Now?

But we have to pick up Maayan.

We still have another hour.

No, I like being first
to pick her up,

I like seeing the jealous looks
of the other kids.

I'll go shopping tomorrow.

No, sweetie, her teacher asked me
to get some dried fruit

for Arbor Day
first thing tomorrow morning.

And a plant and applesauce.

Pull over.

-Here?
-Yes.

Dried fruit and a plant?
It's a supermarket for bachelors,

cigarettes, wine,
the morning-after pill.

Let's just go in and check.

All right.

I'll leave the AC on
and I'll be right back.

No, I'm coming with you.

You think
I can't carry the raisins on my own?

No, I want to pick out the plant.

Pick out the plant?
This isn't a nursery,

there are no gladioluses
hanging from the ceiling.

Wait, do you not want me to come?

No, you want to go?
Great, I'll wait here with the AC.

But they only give you discounts.

Cool, then let me go.

I want to go with you.

Okay.

Hey!

Did you just lock me
in the car?

I thought you were out already.

Gili, are you all right?

Yes, sweetie, I'm fine.
How are you feeling?

As if you'd prefer
I stay in the car.

You wanna stay in the car?
Go ahead.

No, I don't wanna stay in the car.

Then let's go.

Why are you running?

I gotta pee,
see you inside.

Mom, didn't you wash
my black jeans?

Check her out.

"Wash my clothes, clean my room."
You a spoiled brat?

Did you or didn't you wash them?

Ortal, you just…

just…

Fine, I'll wear a skirt.

Eliran, I think I offended her,
she was in shock.

She was in shock
by how cool you are.

You hungry?
I'm feening for some pizza.

What's "feening"?

When you crave something.

Like the munchies?

Yeah, similar.

Then what's the difference?

Good question.

You usually feen for salty food.

Thank you.

I never give Ferenjis
the keys to the bathroom.

-They can go to hell.
-Yeah.

Nevsu, I'm always here
if you need any help.

Joanech, you're the best.

Here you go, dried fruit!

Figs, raisins,

they even have papaya!

Look at that Ferenji,
yelling out her shopping list,

Why should I care
about her darn papaya?

I know, they're nuts.

Here we go…

Plants.

And you said
they wouldn't have any.

Gili, come here,
you gotta see this.

Excuse me.

Did you see that?
He's with her.

He married a rich Ferenji
and comes asking for discounts.

He's a white cheat.
I gave him my heart and soul.

I always double-bag his stuff.

Excuse me,

you shouldn't be talking
about me like that.

So now we're judging people
by their skin?

Now we're discriminating
against the Ferenjis?

We're not discriminating
against anyone.

You'll pay like everyone else,
no discounts for you.

Does she look like

-everyone else to you?
-What's wrong with her?

-What's wrong with her?
-Yeah, what's wrong?

-You don't get it?
-Gili,

Gili…

She's not normal.

I'm her caregiver.

-Gili…
-Really?

Gili.

-Gili…
-Look at her.

She's paranoid,
she has involuntary movements.

And she yells so she won't hear
the voices in her head.

Really? I didn't know,
I'm sorry.

-Poor thing.
-Ask about the applesauce.

Apple.

I'll ask.

Thank you.

All she can eat is pureed food.

Forgive me.

I didn't know.

That's why

we shouldn't judge people
by their skin.

We should know better.

My ex-husband and I
lived on a yacht.

It was amazing.

I swim in the sea every day.

Then you'd love it.
We sailed all over the world.

Problem was,
just like any sailor,

he had a girl in every port.

How could he give up a woman like you?
What a flake.

You're very sweet.

I don't understand why your wife
doesn't want to be buried beside you.

Look, I can take someone to the grave,
but I can't make them lie there.

Then I'd love to lie
at your side.

L'chaim, to life.

To death.

To death…

I'll finish up here,
you go turn on the AC.

Why? We're almost done.

But I want you to feel good.

-I feel very good.
-Great, so wait for me in the car?

No! What's with you?

Nothing.

Just wanna take care of you.

Um…

I forgot to tell you,

the cashier can't hear.

-Seriously?
-Yeah.

Then how is she a cashier?

That's what really impressed me
about this place.

They integrate people
with special needs.

-Wow.
-Yeah.

So when you speak to her,

speak loudly
and exaggerate your lip movements,

help her out.

Sure, no problem.

Of course.

Hello.

Hello.

We come here a lot.

Very happy.

Good, I'm glad.

I loved them both, O Lord

They were both mine…

-Hi, Nitza, were you waiting for me?
-No.

I'm stuck on this crossword puzzle.

I'm going up
to take a shower.

Yaakov, wait,

I want to talk to you,

have a seat.

Yakov, I've thought it over.

I don't want you
to sell my plot.

Why?

I thought about it.

You die, okay?

I'm with another man
for, what, a year or two?

He becomes an old geezer.

I'll have to be his caregiver,
wipe his butt…

With you,
I've spent an entire lifetime.

We built a home, a family.

You're the love of my life.

Kiss me, Yaakov.

-You silly thing… -Nitza…
-You big oaf.

Nitza, I'm really sorry.

I already sold the plot.

What? When?

You were very clear
about not wanting it, so I moved on.

I met a nice woman,
we clicked.

You dropped a bomb on me

without giving me a chance
to take it all in.

Instead, within two days you go lie
next to another woman in my plot?

Nitza,
you were my first choice,

but there's another option.
We can be laid on top of each other.

What?!

Yes, both of us, in my plot.

So I'll be crammed in there while
she's stretching her legs out in my plot?

I already sold the plot.

She's a divorcée.

Her husband walked out on her in life,
now I'll walk out on her in death?

I hope you both die together.
Amen!

Bread, tomatoes…

Soap…

Wait.

Where's the toilet paper?

You have no toilet paper either?

Now that Mom's cool,
she doesn't go to the supermarket,

she goes
to the convenience store.

Ow! Eliran!

Sorry.

Who's that?

Eliran's tutor.
They've taken over the house.

Wow, popcorn,
I really missed having a hot meal.

You put a bag in the microwave,
I'll call Mom.

She won't answer.
Now that she's cool, she screens calls.

Look at you, you're so pale…

Mom.

Yeah, dawg!

-Mom?
-Yeah, my brother.

Mom, I just walked in,
everything's a mess,

they're playing soccer in the house.

Yeah, you like our crib?

What crib?

I'm going to get my hair straightened
at Nitza's hairdresser, bye.

Mom…

She hung up.

I told you,
she's lost it.

It's your fault!

Why did you ignore her
on the street?

I was smoking,
I didn't want her to see me.

So she'd see you smoking!

Now she's on her way
to Nitza's hairdresser!

I bet he's never touched
an afro before!

Now gimme a cigarette!

I'm begging you,
don't break up my family.

Look at you,
you're gorgeous,

any man would die to die with you.

I only have my sweet Yaakov
to die with.

I'd love to help you out,
but there are no more plots

and it's not about the money.
No, no, I became attached to the property.

What if I pay you double?

It's a deal.

Mom, we're going shopping,
need anything?

Tamari, your father

has poor judgment of character.

That woman he wanted
to be buried beside

is greedy.

I'm ashamed to tell you
how much I paid to get my grave back.

Nonsense, Mom.

Nonsense?!

Fifty thousand dollars!

You'l have no inheritance left.

If you ever want to build a house,

it'll have to be
on top of our grave.

Congratulations,
may you rest in peace.

Nitza, I sold my plot,

now we'll look
for a double plot together.

Who did you sell
your plot to?

Some old geezer,
what do you care?

What do I care?

He'll be lying beside me
for all eternity!

Hello.

Hello.

Good to see you.

Happy in my heart.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Happy in my heart, too.

Wow, sweetie, you're so sensitive.

She's so brave.

She could've settled
for a pricing gun.

-Yeah.
-But she wanted more.

She communicates very well.

It's okay!

-Did I do that?
-So what?

-I'll get it.
-I'm sorry.

-I'll go get a cart.
-Good.

-I'm sorry. Oops.
-It's okay.

She got so scared.

Yeah, but I calmed her down.

That's actually not part of her illness,

it's side effects from the meds.

Her arms and legs twitch all over,
poor thing.

Excuse me,
wasn't the coffee on sale?

Sir,

she doesn't hear well,

you have to make sure
she can see your lips.

The coffee?

It's okay, I can hear.
The sale is over.

Did you hear him?

Can you hear me now?

Sure, sweetie, I can hear.

But I was told
you were deaf.

Wait…

Maybe it wasn't you?

Maybe there's another cashier
who looks just like you?

It's me and I know you
and I can hear.

It was me before, too.

Something weird is going on.

No, everything's fine,
I'll get your caregiver.

Gili.

What caregiver?
Gili is my husband.

Gili is your husband?
Why didn't you say so?

Why, what did you think?

Gili,

-your wife's looking for you.
-What?

She thinks she's your wife.
She's a little hysterical.

I didn't know what to do.

I don't think I'm his wife,
I am his wife!

All right,
then I'll go back to the register.

Yeah.

Gili?

Did you see that?

Turns out she isn't really deaf, she…

What's wrong with people?

Gili!

Sweetie, what can I do?
It's really cheap here.

It's so cheap.

Ortal, what are you doing?

I'm trying to blow seven rings
and then…

put an arrow right through them.

Put that out
or I'm calling your mother.

Here.

I dialed.

-Hey, girls.
-Hey.

Oshrat, your hat is gorge.

Thanks, you're so cool.

-No, you are.
-No, you are.

No, you are.

-No, you are.
-Mom, the principal is waiting.

No, you are.

My daughter smokes?

You're grounded till you're 21.

Girls, say goodbye, you won't
be seeing her till after college.

Mom, I missed you.

I knew
you aren't really cool.

What is that smell?

You haven't done the laundry in weeks,

Eliran wore a bathing suit
to school today.

As in cool?

No, as in stinky.

He's a bad caregiver.
He doesn't buy me chocolate.

Let her have it
as a gift from me.

We're going from
discounts to donations.

I want Nem&Nem!

Nem&Nem!

-Nem&Nem!
-She should be placed somewhere.

No one will take her.

For bombs, you need a watch,

and my grandfather
had a gold watch.

I wish we had a watch,

we'd know how long

we walked in the desert.

But the watches stopped. Why?

They froze,
it was freezing cold.

You know what
January is like in Warsaw?

You know what August
is like in Sudan?

I remodeled
all of apartment last year

and there is new refrigerator,
which can stay here if you want.

Wait, is it
new refrigerator or refrigerator new?

It's new refrigerator.

If he rents you the apartment,

it becomes an Ethiopian apartment.

On the door it'll say:
"Here lives an Ethiopian."

All the neighbors leave,

Ethiopians take over the building,

turns into an Ethiopian building.

When you leave,

he'll only be able to rent it
to an Ethiopian.

It's not worth it.

Hello.
