"On the Spectrum"

Episode 5:
"Make a Wish"

Hi.

Why did you bring cheese cake?

Because Zohar likes it.

But I like chocolate cake.
Why don't you buy what I want?

Because it's her birthday.

Why didn't you get us olivettes?

It's not fair that you don't get
what we ask for.

What's it got to do with olives?
-Not olives, olivettes.



Olives wrapped in buttery dough.

They're in the frozen section near
the jahnoon and malawach pastries.

I like malawach.

What are you doing?
-Checking product quality.

I gather many people are coming today.
-You gather correctly.

Could you get us
jahnoon or malawach?

How many are expected?
My room is off-limits.

That's a pity. I already told the guests
that Ron is waiting for everyone

to go in, jump on his bed
and take all his products.

No, you didn't.

Okay, guys, I'm out, bye.
-Can you take me with you?

Where to?
-I don't know.

He's not allowed in the cafe
because he's a stalker.

Ron, leave the balloons alone.



It's peeling off the paint.
-Don't touch them, understood?

If you want, I'll invite
the girls from the cafe later on.

Can you get me an electric scooter?

Look what else I got for my birthday,
look how lovely of them.

Isn't it lovely of them?

Yep, very cool.

Excited about the party?

Yes.

It's normal to celebrate at home
and not always at clubs, right?

Of course.

But in our apartment
we can't serve alcohol and beer.

You don't drink that stuff anyway.

Yes, but my girlfriends
from the cafe do.

Zohar, whoever shows up, shows up.
It'll be an awesome party.

Even Oren is calling
to congratulate you.

Really?!

Hello, Oren?! Hi!

Yes.

Thank you very much, yes.

Asher is throwing me
a birthday party

with all my friends from the cafe,

and you're invited too,
if you want to come.

It'll be loads of fun.

Episode 5:
"Make a Wish"

"Erez"

One second.

Why are you here?

I have nowhere to go.

I already told you, we can't be friends
because you were arrested.

My dad wants to talk to you.
-But I...

I'm with my counselor now.
-But...

Explain the problem to me.

I did...

I did Step 1:
"Choose the cleanup area."

This is the area.

Step 2: I brought
the relevant cleaning materials.

Okay.
-Step 3: I lifted the furniture.

Step...

Erez...
-Well, on step 4

I'm supposed
to lift the carpet.

So?

But there's no carpet
in the room.

So move on to step 5:
sweeping the floor.

But it would mean skipping a step,
and you said that's forbidden.

The idea is not to skip
necessary steps,

but if there's no carpet,
just move on.

Had it said:
"Lift the carpets"

then I could define the situation
as zero carpets,

which is the same as no carpet,
which would be fine.

What?

Can I change it to "carpets"?

You don't need to change anything, Erez.

So should I buy a carpet?

Forget the carpet, Erez,
just move on, okay?

It's fine, call me when you're done.
-But... -You're doing great.

You won't disqualify me?

No, you're doing great.

Call me when you're finished, okay?

I'll finish with a sweep
because it says "sweep"...

Hi, Amit.
-Hi.

My dad.

What?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay, okay, I...

I...

Okay, I agree.

Alright, you can come in.

Really? Yay!

I see you gave the scooter
a 5-star rating,

why did the tent get
only 1.5 stars?

I wrote why.

Oh, now I see.

"At some point,
I hoped to get a heatstroke

"because it was better
to be rushed to the hospital

"than to spend another minute
in that stifling, weird-smelling tent."

You're tough!

My dad says that toughness
is the key to success.

What does your dad do?

I'm not interested in discussing
my personal life.

Okay, but you didn't mention
if it's wind-resistant.

Did it fly away
while you were building it?

I don't recall it flying away.

Can I stay here
until everyone's gone?

What are you talking about?

My apartment is being invaded
for Zohar's stupid birthday party.

A birthday sounds nice.

Food, drink, friends.

I can eat and drink by myself.

They invited strangers over and
they'll probably make a mess and drink beer.

A little beer never hurt anyone.

Parties are pointless.

Don't you ever go out partying?

I'm not interested
in discussing this anymore.

Okay.

So what are you writing about?
The new peeler

or the fan clock?
-A fan clock is stupid.

Then write about the peeler.

No, I want to write
that it's stupid.

Then write about the fan clock.

It's normal to celebrate at home, right?
-What do you mean, "normal"?

You celebrated your birthday
at a dance club.

Well, because that's what
my friend and I wanted to do,

but everyone celebrates
wherever they wish.

I want to celebrate
at a dance club too.

Why?

The apartment is all decorated
and your friends who love you are coming.

Yes.

What next?

The hair mousse for men.

I don't know how to apply it.

I'll help you.

I do not want you to touch me.

Are you going to fire me?

Ask me one more time
if I'm going to fire you, and I will.

Were you being cynical?

No. Come on, sit down.

Can you do it
without touching me?

How? It's hair mousse.

Then touch only the hair, okay?
-Alright. Come closer.

Well? Is it pleasant?

It's not unpleasant.

You know, it would be really nice of you
to bring Zohar a birthday gift.

I'm not interested
in spending money on her.

It doesn't have to be expensive,

it can be something personal,

something simple.

If I give her something,
can I stay here this evening?

Yes, but let me remind you

that even you and I
were strangers at first

and here we are, working together
and talking.

It's not the same.
-Why not?

Because for big social events
I have to memorize things.

Such as?

When it's the right time
to tell a joke

or use a proverb
that a wise Chinese man once said,

and I never know when
to fit those into a conversation.

I never promised anything. I already
told you we might not make it today,

we have to be somewhere.
-But you're off work now, right?

Yeah, but...

We thought the party would be
at the cafe, so we'd stick around.

I'll drive you there and back,
what's the big deal?

Asher... -What?
-We'll celebrate her birthday

during a shift, with cake and everything.
We even got her something,

but... we're not comfortable
going there. Sorry.

But I told her you're coming,
she's so excited,

come one, it's close by.
-Asher, enough!

Come on, don't bail on me
30 minutes before the party.

Omar, Omar,
you have an excuse too?

Thanks a lot.

It's not an excuse,
we told you... -Fine.

Remember this day.

Let me get this straight,
is that a threat?

Go like this...

Your shirt is unbuttoned.

Oh, oops.

This one too.

Zohar, it's fine...

I'll go get Ron.

What are these pills for?

Did you find the mirror?

Yes.

Bring it over.

Look. It really suits you.

I'm not handsome.

You're a very good-looking guy.

Pardon me for saying this,
but you're too old to have taste in guys.

You got that right.

Lean over, let me fix it.

Look how nice.

Yes?

Yaeli, what are you doing here?

Hello.

What's with the lipstick?

Okay, Ron, can you come downstairs?
The party is starting.

You can't make me do it.
I'm allowed to stay here.

Fine.

Then at least take apart the tent
sitting in the middle of the living room.

You tried it out in your living room?
-What's the difference?

You wrote
that it's not wind-resistant.

Did you even try it outside?

I must attend Zohar's party.

What about the scooter?

Ron, stop.
Stop it, Ron!

Ron, leave that alone.
-But it's peeling the paint off.

Happy birthday.

Asher, hi!

Zohar, happy birthday.
-Thank you.

Wow, Amit.
-Thank you.

Look at the flowers, Zohar.
-Those aren't for her.

Happy birthday.
-Hey, Omar!

I'm so glad you came to my party,
thank you so much!

This is our home.

There's my room,
I'll show you later.

You can...

sit there meanwhile.

Am I supposed to pay
for the refreshments?

Yaeli, Is Erez supposed to pay
for the refreshments?

Of course not.

No.
-But leave it for later.

Soon.

But I already ate.

Let's get the cake.
-Okay.

No, not yet! We have to wait
for my girlfriends from the cafe.

They can't make it, Zohar,
but Omar did.

I told you they'd show up!
-It could be the pizza we ordered.

You ordered pizza?
-Pizza we can order,

hookers are a no-no.
-Alex, hi!

Thank you so much
for coming to my birthday party!

This is our home.

There's my room,

I'll show you later.

You said you were coming,

so Yaeli and I put on makeup
and lipstick.

Zohar, it wasn't because of Alex.
-But when he said he's coming,

you started putting on makeup
and fixed your hair.

She's so funny...
-Come sit next to me.

My friends from the cafe
will be here soon.

Zohar, they're not coming,
remember?

Let's bring out the cake
and candles.

Amit, turn the lights off, please.

They couldn't make it.

It didn't work out, sweetie...

Are they really not coming, Asher?

Missed one.
-Is it cream-filled?

I prefer mille-feuille.

Did you see you missed one?
-Ron, I see everything. -You like crackers?

Can I have a piece?

They're salty.

I didn't see any crackers.

Oreos are also cookies.

Oreos are also cookies.

This candle is problematic,

just take it out.

Dudi from the hostel eats those

because they're egg-free
and he's allergic to eggs.

He also uses special shampoo...

"Happy birthday to you

"Happy birthday to you

"Happy birthday, dear Zohar

"Happy birthday to you.

"Happy birthday to you

"Happy birthday, dear Zohar..."

Technically it's tomorrow.

"It's your special day

"Happy birthday, dear Zohar..."

Ron, stop.

"It's your special day

"Happy birthday, dear Zohar..."

Congratulations. -Zohar,
would you like to make a wish?

Can I do it later?

You don't want cake now?

Why not?
-I prefer mille-feuille.

Yes.

Alright.

Ron, I asked you
to leave that alone.

Is it time to open the gifts? -Yes.
Zohar, I brought you a little something.

Wow, how nice, thank you.

I didn't have time
to get you anything, Zohar, but I will.

Me too.

Wow, there are...
1, 2, 3,

4, 5, 6,

7 nail polish colors!
Wow, that's a lot of nail polish!

It's a set.
-Thank you so much!

I also brought a gift.

Give it to Zohar, not me.

Ron...

Wow, Zohar,
look how many presents.

It's something personal.

What is it?

It's a photo of me and my grandma.

It's nice.
-Thank you very much.

Do you want it back?

How about we do
a round of birthday greetings?

Amit, Erez...

Erez doesn't have to sit, he's not
a tenant here. -Ron, that's enough.

Erez, you can sit down.

Can I sit down?
-Yes.

But I'm not a tenant here.
-It's fine.

Amit, what do you wish Zohar?

Congratulations!

Can we bring out the cake?
-Leave the cake alone, please.

What about you? -I dunno.
Wealth and health, alright?

Well, Zohar,
I wish you lots of happiness,

that you be cheerful

and always be the cute, pretty
and funny girl that you are.

May you fulfill all your dreams,
and of course love, above all else.

Thank you.
-Why above all else?

It's important. -It's important,
but not above all else.

Obviously health
is above all else.

If you're dead,
how is love going to help you?

What if you have cancer?
-Okay, let's...

And money can buy you love
but not health, although it helps.

Love can't buy money.

Can you buy love?
-If you're rich, you can.

Amit, Ron, do you mind...?
-I'd like to say something too.

Go ahead, Erez.
-I just want to say

that I'm very, very, very, very excited
because on February 4th

I might be moving into
my own apartment, finally.

Erez, the idea is
to congratulate Zohar.

Fine.

I'd like to congratulate Zohar.

Zohar and I have known each other
for quite some time now,

we meet every day at work,

and Zohar, you're a really lovely
and friendly girl

who's fun to work with,

and I wish you all the best
from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you very much, Omar.

Is he Arab?

Are you Arab?

Yes.

"Marhaba" ("hello" in Arabic).

That's so racist!

Ron...
-I'm not racist,

I'm a leftist.

So?

Did I bother you?
-Friends, settle down.

They're not my friends.

My friends are at the cafe,

we go out and laugh all the time

and we...

we do stuff like normal people do!

Zohar...

He's going to hit her.

I told you so!

Had I had my party at a dance club,
they would've come!

Yaeli...

Yaeli... -I told you we should've
had the party at a dance club!

I told you so!
-Yaeli, can we eat now?

Okay, next time.

Leave my birthday party, now!

Go away!

I said, go away!

Zohar, happy birthday.

I'm leaving.

Should I talk to her?
-Everything's cool.

You can keep partying.

Zohar.

Zohar.

What?

How about

we go out clubbing?

What do you say?
Me, you and Alex.

What... Now?

It's still too early,
it's only 19:30.

But how about we go get ready
and pick you up at 22:00?

Bye, Omar, it was nice to meet you.
-Bye.

A disciple asked
an old, wise Chinese man:

"I stand here, facing the horizon.

"I walk one step towards the horizon,
and the horizon grows one step farther.

"I walk two steps,
and the horizon grows two steps farther.

"I walk three steps,
and the horizon grows three steps farther.

"If so, why go through the effort?

"The old, wise Chinese man
calmly replied:

"For the simple purpose of walking."

Nice.

I'm going to a dance club
with Yaeli and Alex.

Are you aware
that they do selection?

What?
-They do selection.

Like in the Holocaust?

It's a method
to filter people at clubs.

You, for example, wouldn't be let in
even though you're not Ethiopian.

So? I don't want to go in anyway.

And you have to be back
at the hostel by midnight.

Like a child, you have a curfew
because you live in a hostel.

What?
-You still live in a hostel like a child!

Yaeli and Alex are taking me
because they're my friends.

So? You also had a curfew
when you lived in the hostel.

I'm not a child!

Bye, have fun.

We're here.

Ready?
-Yes.

Come.

Give me your hand.

Yaeli, I want...

I want to go to the bar

and ask for a drink.

But you tasted it
and said you didn't like it.

I just want to hold the glass.

Can I get a beer?

What kind?

Heineken? Goldstar?

Yes, yes.

Thank you!

Where are you off to?
-My name is Zohar.

Nice to meet you, my name is Zohar.

What's your phone number?
-050...

Yes?
-5.

Yes?
-455.

Yes?
-456.

Okay, bye, I'll call you.

My name is Zohar,
what's your name?

Nadav.

Can I have your number?

Today's my birthday.

Happy birthday! -Thank you.
-And many more.

I hope your girlfriend understands

that Zohar messaged you
from my phone.

Oh, she's not my girlfriend anymore.

I obviously wouldn't be here if...

if she was still my girlfriend.
-Of course, obviously.

Zohar, let's go, we're leaving.

What's the rush?
-Leave her alone, we're leaving.

Zohar...
-No, I don't wanna.

Where to?
-We're going home, Alex is waiting.

Don't go.
-No, we just started dancing!

Alex,

I just met a guy
and started dancing with him,

and we also... kind of kissed.

Yaeli, are you okay?
-Yaeli...

Oh, no! What happened?
Are you okay?

Yaeli, are you okay?!

Everything's alright,
she just had a bit too much to drink.

Want some more water?

Four guys gave me their numbers.

Really?

Zohar, did you have a nice time?

Should I open the window?

No, it's fine.

That's how people meet their partners,
right, Yaeli?

Maybe one of them will love me
and I'll love him, right, Yaeli?

We'll talk about it tomorrow, Zohar,
okay?

"Party guy 1,
"Party guy 2"

"Party guy 3,
Party guy 4"

Could you please drop me off
at Asher's?

Why at Asher's?

I want to get off at Asher's.

What do you say?

I don't know, it's late,
I'm afraid it'll backfire.

Oh, he doesn't know
we took her out?

Can you drop me off there? It's just that
I was very mad at him at my party,

and...
I don't want to be mad at him now.

Yes?

Zohar, it's really late.

We'll drop you off at home
and you'll see him tomorrow.

How'd you get here?
What are you wearing?

I was at a dance club
with Yaeli and Alex.

Can I sleep over?

Yes.

I'm biting my tongue
not to tell you something.

Not to tell me what? -I danced with boys.
Are you angry?

Wait, I'll get you a blanket.

"Party guy 1"

"Hi, it's Zohar, we just met
at the club. Call me. Bye."

Need anything else, Zohar?

Well, good night.

Asher?
-Huh?

I will have a boyfriend, right?
-Yes.

And we'll lie naked in bed together

and he'll caress me and hug me

and tell me that he loves me?

Yes. If you want him
and love him back, right?

Right. And if we know each other
for more than a week.

What do you mean?

Yaeli said I'd have
to know him for more than a week.

Oh, okay.

So I won't be alone?

Don't worry about that now, okay?

Okay.

And make it two weeks.

My sister is here.

She'll sleep on the couch.

Are you kidding me?
-No. -For real?

Your little sister?

She's not that little.

How old is she?

She just turned 28.

Today.

Did something happen to her?

No, other than the fact
that she was born with a condition.

What condition?

It's either...

a mental challenge,

a social impairment

or limited intelligence,

depends who you ask.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why? You have a problem with that?
-No, of course not.

Not at all.

In any case, I have to drop her off
at work tomorrow,

so I'll head out early.

Cool.

Come here.

You can plant them.

But I want to give her the flowers.

I already told you, you can't talk to her
or go near her,

which means you can't give her
the flowers either.

I also told him that he can't.

Anyone could've told him that,
it doesn't mean you're smart.

Your life is pretty much ruined.

You can't talk to Lior
or go near her,

you can't sit
at your favorite cafe,

and she came between
you and your friend.

Then I'll hate her.

Don't listen to him, Amit.
-Your life isn't that great either.

You're a mature man
who's stuck living in a hostel,

you're on meds
and you have bad hygiene.

Fine.

But my dad made us friends again,
right, Erez?

We're friends again, right?
-Yes, and your dad also said

he would pay me
to hang out with you.

Maybe he'll pay me too?

I don't know, ask him.

What do we do now?

There's nothing we can do.

Why don't we eat the cake?

I don't want cake.

Okay.

I want to make a wish too.

Fine.

Wish for me to move
to an apartment of my own.

You should be grateful that
we're letting you stay here, Erez.

But after you make a wish,
you have to blow out the candle.

What if I don't blow it out?

Then it doesn't come true.
That's the custom.

Now we eat?
-Yes.

What did you wish for?

That I blow out the candle.
