"On the Spectrum"

Episode 3:
"Looking for a Welcoming Home"

I can smell her nail polish
from my room.

I put it on in my personal space.

That's no reason to call me
at 01:00.

I could've been poisoned.
-That's not called an emergency, Ron.

Your boyfriend shouldn't have
hung up on me.

Ron.

Thank you.

Is that understood?

If there's a real emergency,



call the police, an ambulance,
the Fire Dept., whoever.

If you have issues,
try to resolve them,

and if you can't,
then call me during daytime.

Any questions?

Where do you live?

Any questions on this subject?

Okay, I have news.

Are you leaving?

No.

Are you pregnant?

No. Amit, that's personal.

You always ask us about
personal matters.

The news is,

that Avi is coming today
to fix the fridge.



No way. Tell him not to come.

But your fridge doesn't work.

Then we'll eat things
that don't need refrigeration.

But then we won't have cold water.

Tell him I won't be home.
Tell him not to come.

He'll only take half an hour.

Okay, now about chores...

Ron.

Ron.

Ron.

Ron, I can see your feet,
I know you're here.

I didn't say I wasn't here.

He'll only take half an hour.

Ron.

Ron, come out.
-Then you stay here with him.

One, I have to take
my boyfriend to the airport,

and two, you have to learn to
deal with people.

He's dangerous.

Stop being so hysterical about him.

He threatened to kill us.

He was angry that day
and he said "I'll kill someone."

He didn't mean you.

He even told you so.

Zohar.

What?

What did I do?

What? No, you didn't do anything.

Listen,

we're throwing Anna
a bachelorette party tonight at nine,

but it's a surprise
so don't tell anyone.

Can I come too?
I'm a bachelorette.

Of course, I just invited you.

Yes! Thank you!

You're welcome.

But don't tell anyone, okay?

Okay. I won't tell anyone.
-Okay. Great.

That's it, you can go back now.

Okay. -Bye.

Zohar, remember, don't tell anyone.

Why don't you sit farther away?

I'll fall off the couch.

I'm only here until
the repairman leaves.

How's your Roomba doing?

Fine. How much do you weigh?

I was wondering when
you'd ask.

I saw a movie about
a woman who weighed 230 kg

and they needed a crane
to get her out of her house

and take her to the hospital

but they couldn't find
a bed for her.

She ended up dying on the crane.

Don't worry,

they won't use a crane
if something happens to me.

Statistically speaking,
something will definitely happen.

Either a stroke or a heart attack

or something else caused by
fat in the blood.

Good thing they're showing
the special on Alaska.

I'll still be around to see it.

Do you live alone?
-Yes.

That's not good.

Nobody will call for help
if you have a stroke.

You're very concerned
about my health.

I have two housemates

so if something happens
they can call for help.

That's the advantage.

The advantage of living with
other people is not being lonely,

if you ask me.

But I didn't ask you.

Are you always this nice
when you visit people?

I don't visit or meet people.

I mean it isn't nice to say
you didn't ask for my opinion.

But I really didn't ask.

Do you work?

Yes, I get products
and write reviews about them.

Really? -Yes.

Oh, that must be why
I got your Roomba.

How about you?
What do you do?

I don't work. I have interpersonal
communication issues.

Nonsense. You speak very well.

You're just saying that.

Why? Here, we're having
a conversation.

But Yaeli says I have a problem
when I'm not focused.

Who's Yaeli? -I don't focus on
what people say,

just on what I want to say.
-Who's Yaeli?

Can you put the Shopping Channel on?
Product of the Week is on.

Gents, with this traditional treadmill,

we'll tape this counter on Barbie's abs
and one on Samantha's abs,

then we'll see how they both feel
after five minutes.

Hey, hey, hey.
Amit, what are you doing?

What?

You can't eat that.
Someone ordered it.

Oh, sorry.

Don't say sorry
and don't come in here, okay?

I couldn't find Lior
so I rang the bell.

Lior's on a break
so leave her alone

and stay out.

Alright.

Here. Sit down.

You forgot the ketchup.

Wait a sec.

Here.

Thanks.

How are you, Amit?
-Fine.

What are you doing?

Reading. I have...

I'm preparing for an audition.

As a waitress?

No.

I work as a waitress.

I'm auditioning as an actress.
-Oh.

Want some?

No. Thanks.

I...

Enjoy.
-Thanks.

Hey.

Did he leave you because you're fat
or did you get fat after he left?

He didn't leave me
because I'm fat.

How do you know?

I was fat when we met.
-Oh.

Then why did he leave you?

Don't you want to know?

Yaeli says it's important
to know things,

that's how we learn
about ourselves.

I, for instance, need to know
that when I don't look people in the eye

it's perceived as disinterest
or shyness.

Why can't you look people
in the eye?

The psychiatrist in San Francisco said that
for me, looking people in the eye

is like looking directly at the sun.

What's the problem?
Wear sunglasses.

Which brand?

Whichever you want.

Do you get all those products for free?

And you get paid for it?

Yes, but I have to test them
and write reviews about them.

Want to try it?

He's here!
-Who?

The scary repairman.

He can't see you.

And even if he could,
what would he do?

My life is in danger.
He threatened us.

He won't hurt you.

Ron, do you want to come
test a device with me?

He's gone. The coast is clear.

What a babe.

Check out that babe.

What's your problem?
Beat it!

What are you doing?
-Trying it on. Like it?

Get into the changing room.
What's the matter with you?!

But do you like it?

I said beat it!
-Asher, does it suit me?

Gift wrap?

Yes, it's a present.
-Here you go.

Do you have greeting cards?
-Yes.

What's the occasion?

I'm not allowed to say.
-Zohar, it's okay.

No, they told me not to.

They meant not to tell Anna,
I explained this already.

It's for a bachelorette party.

Here you go.

Thanks.

But don't tell Anna.

Right.

Did you go blind?
-No.

What did you do?

I got a haircut.

You can't get a haircut
without warning me.

I don't recognize you.
You gave me a fright.

I wanted Lior to see
that I got a haircut.

Don't do that again.

I went to the cafe
and she wasn't there.

Did the repairman
do that to you?

No, I didn't go blind.

Can you tell I'm looking you
in the eye?

No.

Can you?

I can't talk to you
when you look this way.

Go put on a hat.

But it itches.

Show some consideration.

I wanted Lior to see
that I got a haircut and touch my head

but she wasn't at the cafe.

So go to her house.

I don't know where she lives.

15 HaYeled Boulevard.

You've been to her house?

No, I overheard when Asher
spoke to her about the ring.

It wasn't nice of them
to take the ring back.

Can you write the address down
for me?

Take the 61 bus line
from across the street,

get off after four stops

and it's right near her house.

Now stop talking to me,
I want to keep practicing

looking at people
through sunglasses.

I took a Tchernichovsky.

You know what they do
at a bachelorette party?

Of course, Asher.

I can explain so you'll be ready.

Asher, I said I know.
And I can get along just fine.

All right...

One, two, three...

What?

Nothing.

Bye.

Four, five...

Who's this?

It's Yaeli. Miss me?

Why should I miss you?
I saw you a few hours ago.

I know. That was a joke.

What are you doing?
-Standing.

Is the fridge fixed?

Yes. Stop chewing in my ear.

Sorry.

Just wanted to make sure
you're still alive.

Of course I'm alive,
otherwise I couldn't have answered,

and I'm fine because
I hid at the neighbor's.

Which neighbor?
Do I know her?

The one upstairs, with the Roomba.

We're best friends.

Since when?

Today. And she taught me

that if I can't look people in the eye
I can wear sunglasses.

Why didn't you think of that?

What? What about sunglasses?

Do you think I'm her best friend, too?

I don't know her, Ron,
and neither do you, really.

Yes I do, we're best friends.

She likes to order products, too.

And...?

And I decided we're best friends.

You can't just decide that.
It has to happen naturally.

What do you mean?

I mean you're rushing things.

You have to get to know each other,
find out things, spend time together.

What did she say about sunglasses...?
-Okay.

Hello?
-What's your favorite color?

Blue.

Can you make it green, like mine?

Okay. Why do you ask?

Gold is okay, too.
Wait, I'm writing this down.

"I was woken up at night by a beeping
noise so I followed the noise

"and saw it was
from my brother's room who wet

"his bed and got a beeping
electric mattress..."

Does red go with blue?

Red or crimson?

Red.
-Show me.

No.

Red goes with red.

See how the green couch
has green cushions?

Like that.

Wood-brown also goes with gray.

Did you find it?
-Yes.

"A bachelorette party
usually includes drinking liquor,

"giving the participants
an opportunity to chat

"or give advice to
the bride-to-be."

Cool, we'll get advice.

I suggest you take something to eat

since you mustn't drink
on an empty stomach.

Should I bring a roll?

I recommend bringing two.

Hello.
-Ron? -Yes.

Have you seen Amit?
-No.

He doesn't answer.

Do you know where he is?

I can't talk now.
Call back in half an hour. -Ron.

Like this?

Yes.

And Zohar?

What?

You may have to pole-dance.

Okay.

Last question:
What's your ethnic background?

Bulgarian.

Listen,

I was thinking about what you said,
that you can't find a job outside

and I have an offer for you.

How about working for me,
testing products?

Only if you pay me.

That's what I'm offering, a job.

Why do you want me
to work with you?

Because you're smart and witty
and you're very interested.

We're best friends, that's how
you know that about me.

Right, because you told me,

and I need help.

Actually, my daughter
used to work with me.

What? Since when
do you have a daughter?

I have a daughter, but unfortunately
she stopped talking to me.

I have to enter this into the chart.

- Mother to a Daughter -

Who is it?

Lior?

There's no Lior here.

Who's there?

Lior...

Who's Lior?

Yes?

Where's Lior?

There's no Lior here.

Amit, are you all right?

Yes.

Then what are you doing here?

Waiting for you.

I got a haircut.

Why weren't you home?

I had an audition.
I told you this morning, right?

Yes.

That's why you put on makeup
and nail polish.

We'll talk at the cafe tomorrow,
okay?

Okay.

Bye. Good night.

Good night.

The game is, each one names
something she never did,

and if you did it
you have to drink.

Hold on, it's Romi's turn.

I think it's Romi's turn.

I've never slept with anyone
younger than me.

Cheers!

Cheers. Pour her a drink, please.

Pour her another one.

I've never spoken into
the microphone at Aroma.

Cheers!

Did everyone get panties?
-Yeah.

Now... Okay,

everyone writes down her fantasy

where the picture of the lock is.

- Older Man -

- Celeb -

- Black -

- Best Friends -

Honey, it's now or never.

When? -Now!
-Now!

Thank you, thank you.

The bride.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Then why did you
want to leave?

No reason.

What?

What are you doing?!
Are you crazy?!

What?
-Don't "what" me!

Never touch me, you hear me?!

If you won't let me touch you,

at least let me touch
Alex or Omar.

Zohar, you can't touch people
like that.

Don't you love me?

Zohar, you're my sister.

Go find a boyfriend to kiss, okay?

But I want to fuck.

Did someone touch you?

No.

Should I ask someone to?

Did Omar tell you to do that?

Alex?

Answer me!

Why are you yelling at me?

Because you must never let
anyone touch you, get it?!

Zohar, tell me you get it.

But I want someone to touch me.

Hi. I'll call you back later, okay?
-No, tell me what's going on.

I had something to do. I texted you.
-What? I waited an hour for you.

I can't talk now.

Why don't you just go out
with one of your housemates?

Geez...

Zohar!

What...
-How dare you hang up on me!

I bet you let her touch you!

I told you I had something
urgent to do.

Yes, what's the matter?

Just drop it.

I told you I can't talk now.
What to you want from me?

So I couldn't make it. Big deal.

Fine.

Zohar.

Zohar, Asher called,
he's worried about you.

No admittance!

Zohar...

I'm fed up!

I've never done anything.

Even the one guy I dated
didn't kiss me.

What are you talking about?

Not even on the cheek.

Zohar, can I come in?
-Everybody else...

I want to talk to you.
-Get out!

Zohar. -Everybody else did it,
even in the car and the toilet

and only I've never done it.

Only I've never done anything.

Zohar, listen...
-No!

Zohar...
-I don't want anything!

I've never been to a bachelorette party.
Tell me about it.

I don't care!
-Zohar, let me in please.

Go away, I hate you!
-Zohar. -Yaeli. -Zohar.

Yaeli.
-What, Ron?

Look, it's all here.

Favorite food, zodiac sign,
hobbies,

and she has the same thing
about me.

Call me if you
change your mind, okay?

This isn't what I meant, but...

And she offered me a job
testing products.

Really? -Yes.

Did she mention payment?
-Certainly.

She said it's three times a week

in her apartment or here.

I'm glad you found work,

but we wanted to
get you out of the house.

You're always complaining about me...

And you're wrong,
it's a dignified job.

I didn't say it wasn't.
-So now I have a job

and we're best friends
and that's that.

I didn't mean... Ron!

Ron.

I'm glad you found a job.

What's her name?

No idea.

Who is it?

Lior? Lior, can you take me home?

I don't know the way.

All right. Wait there.

You took off your makeup.

Yes.

Why'd you put it on?

Someone's calling you.

Hello, Dad?

Yes, I'm with Lior.

She's walking me home
so I'll learn the way.

Yes, Lior the waitress,
my girlfriend.

No, we're walking.

Yes, I'll invite her out to eat.

Bye then.

That was my dad.
-Yes, I heard.

Amit...

Remember I told you
I have a boyfriend?

Yeah, but Erez said you could have
two boyfriends.

Okay, but it doesn't work that way

and I don't want two boyfriends.

Then can you just be my girlfriend
and come to a restaurant with me?

No. Amit, I'm not going
to a restaurant with you.

Don't you like McDonald's?

That's not the point.

Let's just meet at the cafe, okay?

Not at my house,
just at the cafe,

and I'll be glad to talk to
you there, okay?

Okay? -Okay.

What about my haircut?

It looks very nice.

- Pets -

"Purebred dog, young and sociable,
can be a bit aggressive..."

"...Can be a little irritable but mostly
pleasant and well-behaved,

"maybe better for a home without children
because it can bite..."

"A charming, friendly,
loving dog looking for a home..."

- Normal -
