"On the Spectrum"

Episode 1:
"She Sells Seashell"

Ron.

Ron!

Yaeli, you can come in.

Thank you.

If I get the job
do I get the Roomba 980 for sure?

Isn't that what they said?

Shall we continue?

Are you asking as Yaeli
or as an interviewer?

As Yaeli, but now I'm
the interviewer



and you're the applicant, okay?

Tell me about yourself.

I'm Ron, 33, from Ramat Gan.

I'm originally from San Francisco,

I lived there with my family

but I moved to Israel
to live with my Grandma.

She's dead now.
She had a cataract.

Ron, hold on.

That was excellent,
but remember,

this is a job interview, okay?

Focus on the computer stuff.

So Ron, tell me about yourself.

I'm Ron, 33, from Ramat Gan
and I'm good at computers.

Here you could expand on
your computer skills.



Mention your degree...

I don't get you,
you say I should talk a lot

but then you say I shouldn't talk at all.

I'm saying that in a job interview

you should talk about
your strengths, okay?

Don't talk about irrelevant things

like your trip to Euro Disney
when you were eight.

Nine.
-Ron, try to concentrate.

I'm Ron, 33, from Ramat Gan.

I have a degree in computers,

I'm an expert in data security
and encryption

and I'm faster than average.

Excellent. That was perfect, see?

You were focused and
you made eye contact,

which is important.

It's okay to blink.

Orange juice and
a chocolate croissant.

Don't heat it up.
-No?

In a plastic cup,
sometimes he leaves in the middle.

Hi. Here you go.

Is it an unheated chocolate croissant?
-Yes.

You forgot the straw.

He wants a straw.

Don't let him get to you.

We give him juice and a croissant

and he doesn't pay.
-Why?

Here's his friend Erez.

He sits down and talks to him.
-Can I have one more?

You're eating up
all my pastries, Amit.

Last one.
-Give him one last one.

Amit.

You want a girlfriend, don't you?

Look at that paunch.

Don't heat up the croissant.

Tomer Kaplansky,
Sagi Shlomov,

then either Ronen or Meir,

then Oved, then me,

although I deserve to be No. 3 on the list.

In any case on February 4th

I'm moving into my own apartment.

Are you new here?
-Yes.

What's your name?
I'm Amit.

I live across the street
with Zohar and Ron-Ron.

I'm from Petah Tikva, they aren't.
-I see.

Can I have a pen, please?
-Yes. I'm Lior.

And you?

Nothing, thanks.
-I meant your name.

Yes, but I'm not ordering.

Okay. -You won't charge me
for his order, right?

No, don't worry.
-But I didn't harass you.

No.

How much is Moshe Sharett?

20 shekels.

Is a Moshe Sharett bigger
than a Tchernichovsky?

No, that's 50 and that's 20, see?

50 is more than 20, right?
-Yeah.

He's dead.

Anything else?

Another croissant.

Yarden, Halloumi.

Yarden, Halloumi.

Sarel, Tunisian.

Sarel, Tunisian.

Sarel, Tunisian.

There you go.

David?

Bye, Zohar.
-Bye, Omar.

Need a ride?
-Yeah, right.

See you tomorrow.
-Bye. -Bye-bye.

Do you have a girlfriend?
-No.

Want one?

Zohar...

I have to go. Bye.

Bye, Zohar.

What did he want?

He offered me a ride.

He doesn't have a girlfriend.

Don't take a ride with that moron.

You said "moron."

How was it?

Lots of people wanted
halloumi sandwiches.

That's nice.

I want to talk into the microphone.

I told you, you can't.

In the kitchen, you can sneak a cookie

when nobody's looking, right?

Yeah.

Are you sure we'll be back by 7:40pm?

I told you, I know the company,
they're very organized.

On which driving test did you pass?
-The second.

Why did you fail the first?
-Ron, concentrate on the interview.

Any other questions?

Looks good.

I don't want to go.
You're forcing me.

No, I'm not.

There's a new waitress
with a yellow streak in her hair.

You're forcing me.
-Hi, Yaeli.

Hi, Amit. -You and my parents
are ganging up on me.

You want your parents
to pay your way forever?

Yeah.

This isn't about your parents.

If you live here you have to work.

You can't just sit around all day.

I watch TV, I order products.

Today I almost ordered
a Roomba 980

and now I can't
because I'm broke.

Good reason to get a job.

Amit, go buy me a Fanta,
I'm thirsty.

Ron.
-Can I buy myself a snack?

You don't have to ask him.
Buy whatever you want.

Hi, Erez. Come on in.

Can I buy two snacks?

Yes. Why is Erez here?

He's a pathetic loser.

That's not nice, Ron

Is it my fault he still
lives in a hostel at such old age?

I'm moving on February 4th.

Ignore him, Erez.
Everyone starts out in a hostel

and then moves to his own place.

Except him. He's a lost cause.

Stop it, Ron. -I'm taking
the Tchernichovsky, okay?

Just get out.
I'm trying to prepare for my interview.

I'll fail and I won't get the Roomba.

It's okay, Ron.
-I think I'll go back to the hostel.

Go back to the hostel
and stop bugging me!

A broom fell.

It's okay.
-In the living room.

Pick it up on your way out.

He's looking at me.

Nobody's looking at you, Ron.

What if someone goes in
before me

and talks too much

and makes me late,

not to mention your driving,

and I miss the beginning
of "Product of the Week"?

Think positive and it'll be fine.

So what?

I don't even want to go.

You'll make me miss the beginning
of "Product of the Week."

Ron, I gassed up the car,

charged my iPhone,

I have Waze, a battery,
everything.

I'm taking you to the front door.

I'll talk to the secretary,
the security guard,

whoever talks to us, okay?

And I'll wait outside until
you're finished.

There'll be no emergencies

unless I have a sudden stroke.

Which won't happen.

And I'll have you back by 7:40.

I need to be back by 7:40.

I said I'll have you back by 7:40

even if I have to drive 70 mph, okay?

The speed limit is 40 mph.

How did you pass the written test?

Off you go.

Meet me here in an hour.

No trouble, okay?

I'm sick of counting.

That's life.

My iPhone has a timer.

I'm not giving you back
your iPhone.

Shee, sha, shu.

Shee, sha, shu.

Shee, sha, shu.

Now close your mouth
and use your teeth.

Use your teeth.

Just a little.

Funny, huh?

It looks silly, doesn't it?

But you've progressed
very quickly,

really.

I only want to speak
when I can speak really well.

Don't be silly.
You speak very well.

You can say "sh" now

and we're only reinforcing that.

Okay? -Yes.

Well done.

High five.

Zohar, what did we say?

I only stroked your hand.
-But what did we say?

That you're my instructor.

That's right.

Why can't you be
my boyfriend, too?

We said I can't, right?

I'm sure you'll find a boyfriend,
you're charming.

I promise he'll want you
to kiss him all the time.

Okay?

Can I just kiss your hand?

Let's go back to the exercises.

And then you'll let me kiss you.

Let's do the exercise
and when we say goodbye

you can give me a friendly kiss.

Okay?

Okay.

Off you go.

Look at my mouth.

She sells seashells.

She sells...

How long until then?

Ten more minutes.

She sells...

Then you'll let me give you
a friendly kiss? -Yes.

She sells...

Zohar...

She sells seashells.

She sells seashells.

She sells...

Hi.

Did you manage with the bills?

I brought Sharett with me.

Did you get change?

No.

They didn't give you change?

Wait a sec.

Hello.
-How much are the potato chips?

6.50.

You don't say.

So they aren't 20, right?
-No.

Then why didn't you give him change?

He didn't buy them here.
-He just bought potato chips.

Then he didn't pay.

I'll pay.

And I'll have Winston Lights.
-Winston Lights.

Here you go.
-They're bad for you.

Thanks. -You got your change, right?
-Yes. Thanks.

Nervous?
-No.

Ron, it's okay to be nervous.
I also...

I'm not nervous.
-Fine.

Am I supposed to shake his hand?

If he puts his hand out,
shake it.

Focus on your strengths.

Try to look at him
when he talks, okay?

Wait, am I supposed to
shake his hand first?

Ron Shulman.

Don't worry, you'll be great.

Don't touch me.
-Sorry.

Hello, Ron.

Come in.

Nice to meet you. Eyal.

Have a seat.

I'm very knowledgeable
about computers.

I studied at home
and earned a degree.

Very good.

Yes, I got your details

and I was very impressed.

We're looking for a data security man,
which means...

I know what it means.

Okay. Good. That's the job,

and now I want to hear

what you expect from us
and what we expect from you

and we'll take it from there.

Take what from there?

The interview.

So tell me...

what do you see as your strengths?

I'm very good at computers.
Actually, I'm a genius

and I believe that's a strength.

Very good.

And... what would you say
your weakness is?

I don't know if it's a weakness,

but I don't like to be told
what to do

or asked questions in general

and I'd rather not share a room
with other people,

not that I think that's a weakness.

Hold on...

And I don't like to be interrupted.

Well? How was it?

We shook hands first.

Okay. Good.

I'll be right back, okay?

Mention a weakness or two,
no more.

That's concealing information.
-No it isn't, Ron.

It's keeping things to yourself.
-It's lying.

No it isn't.

If you want something

you don't have to tell
the whole truth.

Why isn't he moving?

Don't worry, we'll keep trying
until you get a job.

No more interviews,
no more tests.

If they are so concerned about me
making money

I'll work from home.

It's not just the money.
You need to meet people.

You know, friends.

I don't have any friends.

Okay, but say you start a job

and meet people your age

and find out you have
common interests,

won't you want to see them
after work?

Just a sec.

Hello?

Who's this?

Yael. Who's this?

I'm Alex's girlfriend.

Who?

Don't play games with me.

Stop texting him
and stop calling him.

We're getting married

and he doesn't want you.

Get a life, stalker.

Must've been a wrong number.

Erez told me you give girls rings.

So? I knew that.

Everyone knows that.

I'm giving Lior this ring.

It's customary to put it in a box.

Lior!

Lior!

This is for you.

What is it?

How sweet.

Thanks, but I'm not hungry
and I'm a vegan.

No, I brought you a ring.

It's very nice, but I can't...

It's a ring.
You put it on your finger.

It's a present for helping me
at the grocery store.

Very nice. I'll keep it
in my purse, okay?

Okay.

You want to help me?

Collect the sugar packets.

Over there.

I took your phone so you'll text from Yaeli?

Now you're kissing him, too?

Can't you see he isn't into you?

I love him, okay, Asher?

He doesn't love you.

You're just being mean.

Fine, I'm mean,
but you're not going back.

It's all over.

I am going back.

His job is to teach you,

to work on your speech.

He's your instructor,
not your boyfriend, okay?

Have you eaten?

Want to get a sandwich?

Zohar, you have to know
when you're not wanted.

Zohar...

Zohar, calm down. Zohar!

Zohar, what are you doing?
Stop it!

Here, here.

Zohar, wait!
I'm talking to you.

Count until the window.
One, two...

Zohar!

Hi, Asher.

We don't slam doors, Zohar.

It's my house,
I'll do as I please.

I'll slam my bedroom door
if I want to.

I saw Asher outside.

Go to your room,
your doll Tigger is waiting.

I don't have a doll
and his name isn't Tigger!

Is Asher coming in too?

Doesn't your phone work?

I unplugged it.
I can't watch TV when it rings.

There's a show on soon.

Don't do this again, you hear?

It's not only your phone.

Yeah.

Hi, Ron. It's me.

What?

I tried to call,
the line was disconnected.

How are you?

How am I what?

I was worried
you were disappointed

about the interview.

You've come a long way.
Next time you'll be even better.

As long as I get the Roomba 980,

I'm fine. -Really?
-My ring is missing!

-Are you parents buying it for you?

-Yes.
-I left it here, so it wouldn't get dirty

-They're proud of you for going to the interview.

-Now I can't find it.

Hey, Erez.

They're buying it because
I told them I got the job.

But you didn't.

You told me to lie.

I said that?

Yes, in order to get things.

Hello, Ron.

No, I said you don't have to tell
the whole truth,

but I certainly didn't mean lying.

What's the difference?

Soon I'll have a Roomba 980
and I won't have to go out any more,

so it all works out.

Zohar, "Dog Whisperer" is on.
-Wait, I don't get it.

What's up, Erez?

You know I'm moving to my own
apartment on February 4th?

Asher. I'm happy.
It's happening on February 4th.

Bye, see you later Asher.

Don't worry, we'll find the ring.

It's in the house somewhere.

No, it isn't.
Amit gave it to the waitress.

What?

It's mine!
-No, it isn't. I found it.

Where did you find it, Amit?

In Zohar's room.

Hit him, Asher!
He stole my ring!

No.
-You aren't allowed to hit us,

it's against the law.
We'll call the police.

Nobody's hitting you.

Are you violent?
-He'll kill you!

Zohar, calm down.
I'm not going to hit anyone.

Zohar, you can call
a number that Yael left

and complain about
domestic violence.

Call the help hotline.

Although maybe it's for rape cases.

I'm afraid he's going to rape her.

No fair, it's my ring.

It's a memento from my mother.

It's her wedding ring.

But your mother's dead.

So what?
She asked me to take care of it.

Were you asked to take care of
your father's ring?

No.

Then what did they give you
to take care of?

Here comes the Schnauzer.
