On the Spectrum (2018): Season 1, Episode 7 - How I am feeling - full transcript

Ron is shaken and goes outside, facing life.

Amit can buy me whatever I need.
Even if it's the middle of the night.

Do you want to be
dependent on others?

Well, you make deliveries all the time.
-Because I can't move.

It's not my fault
I'm slim and fit.

Ron, you said you couldn't cook,
and you cooked.

That you can't build a tent, and you did.
-Technically that's true, but...

So you can also go outside
and talk to people.

I'll be with you the entire time.

What if someone asks me
what time it is?

Then you answer.

Or use a proverb
that a wise Chinese man once said.



Now you're being cynical.
-Yes.

Are you ready for any scenario?
-Ron, I'm all yours.

What you said could be interpreted
as sexual harassment.

"On the Spectrum"

Episode 7:
"What Do I Feel"

Is it go time?
-Yes.

Okay.

Okay, you're outside, right?
-Yes.

Where exactly?
-Approaching the gate.

Good.

I'm opening it.

I'm outside the gate.
-Good.

Are you walking towards the grocery store?
-Yes, I am.

Excellent.
I'm with you on the line.



I see the bus station.
-Yes.

People are waiting there,
and the supermarket is on the right.

Wow. Is it helpful to you
that we talk while you walk? -Yes.

Good, so keep describing
everything you see

until you reach the grocery store, okay?
-I'm walking.

Ron? -There's a woman ahead.
-Yes. -She's not looking at me.

And now I've reached the green grocer.
The melons are on sale.

And some girl is talking on the phone,
and a soldier just passed by me.

She's running.
-Doing great, Ron.

Keep going.
-Okay.

Two ladies just looked at me.

Keep on walking,
don't mind anyone.

Describe everything,
you're doing great.

I'm about to reach the grocery store,
I'm right near Amit's cafe.

I can hear that.

What do you see now?
-A man, walking alone.

Yes?
-He looked at me.

Let him look.

Do I keep walking?
-Of course.

I'm about to cross the road soon.
-Go for it.

Ron?

Do I cross now? -Sure, go ahead.
I'm with you the whole time.

Some guy looked at me. -Ron, nobody
looked at you and even if they did...

He was riding a motorcycle.
What if he comes back?

But you don't interest him.
Keep going, Ron, come on.

I'm going back. -But Ron,
you were making such great progress!

I'll walk on the sidewalk.

Ron... Ron...

Come on, you're so close
to the grocery store.

There are people ahead.

They're in my way,
I can't get through.

Hello? Over.
What do I do?

Over, what do I do?

What do I do? Over.

Over.

I'm moving forward,
I'm near the watch store.

Some kid is crossing a red light
on an electric bike.

I know they ride around here
so I won't cross there.

There's a woman with a dog.
Probably a Terrier mix.

It's peeing on the floor
and she's not cleaning it up,

but it's okay because I don't think
pee is illegal, only poop.

I passed a woman but she didn't look
at me. I'm walking down the street.

There's an ATM machine,
but I have enough cash in my wallet.

A woman with headphones
walked by.

I'm reaching Bialik street.
I'll cross over there and keep walking.

Ancient Egypt.

Doesn't really look like that.

I don't know this street...
-Could you throw us the ball back?

I don't know this street...
-Throw us the ball, it's right there!

Come on, you jerk!
Throw us the ball!

There's an appliance store.
I'm going inside.

I'm in.

They're playing the Rolling Stones.

Hardly any people in here.

A new Hyundai kettle.

Meat grinder,

Magimix, 2016 model.

Kennedy spice grinder.

A Moulinex food processor.

Master Chef 2000 series.

Normande food processor.

Russell Hobbs, 3-speed.

Yes.

A Moulinex meat grinder,

made in France.

Bosch.

Delonghi Perfecto microwave.

3-speed.

Morphy Richards microwave.

Hebrew operating system.

3-speed electric hotplate.

A Selmor food processor.

Excuse me?

Could you help me please?

Do you carry
Sharp microwave ovens?

Conventional or combo?
-Conventional. Why, what's a combo?

You have the 800 watt
stainless steel microwave,

but I'd recommend the Normande.

Same watts, and a lot cheaper.

Oh, so Normande is better?

Because it said Sharp here, see?

Yes, I'm familiar with that.

It's not an actual sale,

it's the 2012 regulation

which makes it a bit cheaper,

but all they actually did was
change the color.

It's actually not any newer.
-Is that so?

So Normande is better?
-Do you have children?

This Normande model is excellent.
It's child-safe.

Well, actually...

Unless you're willing to spend a bit more
and go for the Delonghi.

Delonghi is a really good brand
and it runs on an EMD system.

What's EMD?
-A system that reboots the device

so that there are less mishaps.

Oh, okay.

Could you get me that one then?
The Delonghi?

It's best that you ask a sales rep.

I think I'm lost.
Do you hear me?

Answer me.

I'm still walking, step by step.

Bro, give me a few minutes.

Do you have Amaretto?

It's almond liquor.

Yes, we do.

Show me the bottle.

Yes, that's the one.

Glass? Shot?

Yes.
-Yes what?

Yes, please.

Yes.

Anything to eat?

Why?

What do you mean, why?

Is it customary
to eat something with it?

No, only if you want,
we have a menu.

Okay, so I'll eat.

I mean, do I have to?
-No, only if you want to order.

Then I don't want to.

Okay.

Actually,
order me some fries, please.

Drinking on an empty stomach
is unhealthy. -Yep.

Could you get me some ketchup,
mayonnaise and Dijon mustard?

Sure.

It's okay, you can pay before you leave.
Ask for the check.

Oh.

Can I have another one?

Cheers.

I'm not an alcoholic.

I'm drinking this in memory
of my friend who died.

Sorry to hear that.

This one's on me.

Why?

Well, you know,
it's on the house.

You're treating me?

Yes.

Can you treat me to the fries too?
-No, come on...

I'll treat you to another glass,
on the house.

I'd rather you paid for my fries,
they're more expensive.

Deal.

Cheers.

Can I have some napkins?

Yep.

Why is the place devoid of people?

It's early.

Are you a homosexual?

It doesn't bother me.

I'm glad to hear that.

What did she die of?

Fat.

She ate too much,

didn't exercise,

and lived
a very unhealthy lifestyle.

Or it might've been the pills.
I found pills on her table.

Okay.

She definitely brought it
upon herself.

Where can I wash my hands?

The restroom is right there.

Easy there...

You okay?

Yes.

Is it the alcohol?
-Of course, you had three glasses.

Maybe you should stop.
Hey!

Slowly.

"Yaeli"

I've been having the runs
for two days now.

It'll be alright, bro.
-"It'll be alright"...

I'm so jealous of you
for being gay.

How are you doing?
I'm Rami.

I'm not gay.

Neither am I,

although it's been months
since I got laid.

Trust me, I should switch teams.
-Yeah, right.

What are you having?
-Amaretto.

Amaretto?
-It's almond liquor.

I haven't had that in years.
Hit me up.

But you're having a beer, Rami.
-So what? I'll have both.

Listen,
I came up with something.

What?
-I'm training for old age.

What do you mean?
-I got a walker,

and I practice with it at home.
Preparing myself for the future.

You never know. -Wicked!
-Why is it wicked?

Can you explain what's "wicked"?
-Oh, don't start...

It's wicked, okay?
-What does it mean?

It's a slang word.

It means, something very good or impressive,
but it actually means nothing.

Got it, Rami?

Yep.
-I don't get what's so funny.

I've stopped surprising myself.

You're Rami Stern, right?

What you just said
really moved me,

and I'd like to reward you for that.
You recognized me, huh?

You used to be famous.
-Hear that? "Used to be".

He recognized you.

One of the pioneers
of Israeli stand-up.

See? He's a classy guy,
not trash like you.

I just read it on Wikipedia.

Listen, why don't you stay
for my show?

It'll be...

funny.

Or sad.

You're having a show here? -Yes.
-With lots of people coming?

In 15 minutes or so.

Stick around.

Sit down, bro, it's all good.

Sit down
and have some more water.

What's with him?
Is he alright?

No, his friend died.

Really?

I'm sorry, I never know
what to say in these situations.

How're you doing, handsome?

What's up? -How's it going, bro?
-Everything's dope.

You alright?
-Yep. Nice to meet you. -Hi. -Hi.

Are you doing a set today?

Yep.

I was here the last time,
you were awesome.

Ridiculous people.

He was here last time
with his girlfriend

and didn't shut up the entire set,
kept ordering beer, interrupting,

and now he tells me I was awesome.
People are so full of shit.

Just like when someone asks:
"How're you doing?"

and the person says:
"Fine."

They're not really interested,
and he's not fine at all.

You are so right.

Here's to you.

Rami, are we on?

Yep, we're on, we're on,

we're on.

We're on, we're on.

Here we go. -You're not so popular
if you perform here.

Kick me while I'm down,
why don't you?

I'm not a violent person.

Popular, unpopular,
who knows what people like?

People like flattery

and I don't do that.

But are you funny?

I don't know.

I'd like to cry or laugh,

but I can't manage to do either.

Ladies and gentlemen,

give it up for the great Rami Stern!

Apricot.

Apricot.

It's got lots of food coloring.
You're better off eating ice cream bits.

No, no, no,

only popsicles.

Ice popsicles.

Grape or apricot.

Pineapple flavor is awesome,

but the cherry flavor

turns your lips red.

You know what it's like
to meet a girl

whose lips are red from eating
a cherry-flavored popsicle?

It's pure bliss.

God damn it,
I aced it today.

But why don't you tell jokes
like Jerry Seinfeld does?

For example, there's no such thing
as "fun for the entire family."

I'm fed up with Seinfeld.

He's very successful,
fills up huge halls.

Big deal, let's see him perform
before an audience of ten.

My stomach hurts.

Funny, isn't it?

I don't see what's humor
got to do with it.

Damn it, I've lost my touch.

Say something.

What?

I don't know, say something.

I had a friend back in elementary school
who'd ask everyone:

"Ever heard of Didi Menosi?
Ever heard of Didi Menosi?"

and one time, the kids tied him to a chair
to make him stop asking:

"Ever heard of Didi Menosi?"
but he just kept saying it,

so they put him in a special school
because he had Asperger's.

I read about it,
and I didn't know I had it too,

because I didn't go around asking people:
"Ever heard of Didi Menosi?"

and years later, when Didi Manosi died,
I found my friend on Facebook

and asked him if he remembered
being in class with me

and being tied to a chair
because he had Asperger's

and kept asking:
"Ever heard of Didi Menosi?"

so he asked me:
"Who's Didi Menosi?"

Tied to the chair, huh?

Kids can be cruel, but at least
you know who you're dealing with.

Adults are fakers.
You don't know who you can trust.

That's why I like seeing animals
on National Geographic.

Do you like National Geographic?
-No.

I like looking at people.

They're way more interesting than animals.
-But animals are genuine.

People are fakers and hypocrites.

People are the cruelest.

Are you a vegetarian?
-No.

Then you're just as cruel,
you eat animals.

But I don't abuse or torture them
or wear their fur,

I just eat them.

Just that, huh?

Why do you keep performing if you have
no audience and you're bad at it?

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

You work with your hands, right?

You're a masseuse.

You help people,
massage their body, right?

Like Shiatsu.

Something like that.

Got a cat? A couple of cats?

Yeah, two cats.

Are you a wizard? You just sit there
and figure people out?

You know what?
Sure, I'm a wizard. Why not?

Cool.

So, are you... married?

Got a boyfriend, huh?

He waits for you at home,

adores you.

Oh, man,

I hate his guts.

I actually don't.
But why...?

Why not?

Believe it or not,
I used to have a full head of curls.

What, am I too old?

Kind of.

Bummer...

Why am I old?

What year were you born?

1991.
-1991?

1991?!

Oh, man,
I thought you were older.

Yeah?

Boy, oh, boy...

I'm such a pedophile, huh?

Listen,

forget this ever happened.

Go home,

eat something healthy,

some mashed potatoes,
broccoli...

My dad
used to force-feed me raisins.

Study for your matriculation exams,

and don't talk to strangers.

Got it.

Did you hit on her?

Listen, he's sad
because his friend died.

I'm not sad.

Yes, you are, don't be shy.

I'm not being shy.

Come on, she's cute.

She's one of ours.

You're one of ours, right?

When did it happen?

Today.

Today?

I didn't know it happened today.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I think he's in shock.

I'm not in shock and I'm not sad.

How are you not in shock?

It's shocking news, and you talk about it
as if it happened long ago.

What?

Hey, hey.

Hey!

Come here!

Come on!

Hello? -Ron!
-What?

Where have you been?
I looked everywhere for you.

It's my right to get out. -Of course it is,
but we worried about you.

Are you alright?
-Why wouldn't I be?

Did you know that...?
-Did they remove her with a crane?

No. By ambulance, but...

She was self-centered, she shouldn't
have taken pills with alcohol.

I'm sorry, Ron. Tell me where you are,
I'll come pick you up.

I'm busy.

What are you doing?

Ron?

I wanted to see what I feel.
