One on One (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript

Hello.
-Come in.

Aviv, this is Moti.

Hi.

Bro,

I got into the disabled vets center.

There's concerts, Idan Reichel…

Big deal, Idan Reichel.

I thought we'd all be happy.

You'll be happy,

stop turning it into "we" all the time!

Let's open the Bible.



Who gives us the pre-final grade?

The grade on the final exam is final.

So I need a 55?

No way.
-It's 50-50 guys,

it could go either way.
-50-50?

It's 70-20, dude.

You moron. How can it be 70-20?
It's either 80-20 or 70-30.

I saw the graffiti outside.

"Murderers"

How are your folks managing?

They have one kid in jail
and the other's in a class of fuckups,

you tell me.

Wow, what a day.

I think I have a date.
-You have a date?



Moti, how are you?

She sounds like a looker.
-Yeah?

Excuse me?

Is this 48 Yigal Alon Street?

Hello.

Is this 48 Yigal Alon Street?

Yes.

Yes?
-Yes.

I'm looking for Alon.

Alon? Which Alon?

Are there other offices here? Or…

Blackish complexion?

No.

Short hair, a stubble.

You just described half the country.

Yes.

Moti?

Ah.

You should have mentioned the wheelchair.

What size shoe are you?

Forty three? Forty four?

Forty three.

See? I'm good.

Here you go.

Thanks.

How's it going?

Good, and you?

Good, good.
-You look surprised.

Yeah, I thought we'd meet
at your office or something...

But it's fine.

Yeah.

I thought we'd bowl while we talked.

Is that okay?

Sounds good.

Right?

Sit, put on the shoes.

Oh, wait, before I forget.

This is for the lessons.
-Oh.

Thank you.

Don't put it in your pocket,
we're betting on it.

Let's increase.

We're doubling it.

I haven't bowled in a long time.

Nice!

Yeah.

Look, I wanted to talk.

I want you to understand
the dynamics with Aviv.

Okay.

Your turn, isn’t it?

After my accident

I was in the hospital

for a year and a half.

I got out

and we needed a change,
we moved south.

Aviv loved it there.

The peace and quiet, the desert,

she made new friends,

joined a band,
even performed with them.

She really loved it there.

But I didn't like the quiet,

so we moved back.

We made tons of mistakes

and she's mad at me for that.

Yes.

I thought maybe you could help me.

Is it asking too much?
-No, I…

I mean…

sure, I'll try.

Awesome.

Alon, do you spend time together?

Some quality time?

We used to, once,

but she's at that age,

they don't need their parents.

They keep their distance,

they're even ashamed of them.

Yes.
-With me it's even more so.

I think that she…

What?
-You know,

she's ashamed for being ashamed.

Maybe.

Maybe.

No big deal, next.

Yes.

It's fine,

it's the first one,
we're warming up.

Listen,

sometimes I think

that if she were to need my help,

if she were to fall,

I wouldn't be able to pick her up.

Do you remember anything from the accident?

The accident itself?
-Yes.

No.

I passed out, I was in a coma

for a month, maybe more.

Seriously.

Yes.

How long after the injury
did you see Aviv?

She came pretty fast,

a week after I woke up.

Yes.
-And what was it like seeing her?

I cried.

It was sad.

I was lying in bed

and she came to me,
so small and pretty

and…

I cried.

We both cried.

But it's behind us now.

Yes.

What if it's on 1 Kings?

We're toast.

Round three.

"Round three…"
It's now or fuckin' never.

I bet there will be round three.

Yossi, hand over a paper and sheet please.

A paper and pen.

Asher, I wrote down abbreviations

so it'll be easy to remember.

Let's say we want to
remember "for generations”.

Reward for generations.

Nice.

So, for generations, F.

Book of Kings, reward for generations,

Chronicles, personal reward.

That's right, very nice.

Very nice.

Now,

B will stand for…

Babylon, right?

The kingdom of Babylon, the destruction,
the end of 2 Kings.

Stav, are you with me?

Babylon.

Got it?
-When they get that guy out of jail,

Chronicles,

that thing with the Edict of Cyrus.

Right. Nice.

Yossi's grandfather is a rabbi.

Is he?

And you?

Your family?

I'm not, but my family is observant.

You don't say.

Yeah, but it's bullshit.

A couple gets married,

has two or three kids,

the fourth one comes along,

they're like you and me,
they're not religious,

four kids?

Expenses, ice cream,
swimming pool,

weekends, gas,

beach.

What for?

Let's pack it all in,

observe the Sabbath,

stay home, it's all good.

Interesting.

They save money.

Very interesting.

False prophets, true prophets,

"Mother fucker"

P.

Nice.
-But those abbreviations,

they're disrespectful,
it's the Bible.

What?

Think of something else.

Wait, what…

Like you're respectful all the time.

You swear and all that…

I thought it would help you remember.

No, it's offensive.

Okay, sorry.

You categorized us, didn't you, Moti?

No.

Not at all, I…

Stigmatizing us, huh?

It's not on purpose.

It's disrespectful.

I guess I didn't think it through.

Think before you act.

Proper behavior precedes the Torah.

Sorry.
-Good one, Adani.

You remind me

of the former US president,
the Ethiopian.

What was his name?

Obama?

Obama, Obama,
you remind me of him.

How about you abbreviate

the words of a song?

The words of a song?

But we need the right letters.

Whatever, we'll cut down, assemble…

How about it, Moti?

We'll make some adjustments.

I can work with that.

Then you'll go over the gematria with us

so we're covered?

No screwups on the final.

Yeah…

Can you come to the vet with me?

Yes.

Sure, no problem.

Shula, drink.

Drink.

Shula.

Come here, Shula.

Help her get up.

Come, Shula.

That's it, yes.

How does she seem to you?

Weak.

Here.

Can you take her in while I park?

Yes.

Here it is.

Here?
-Yes.

Come, Shula.

Good girl.

Come.
-Good girl, Shula.

Good girl.

Hello.

Hey, Shula.

Who are you?
Where's Sally?

It's Sunday.

Okay.

Put her down, let me examine her.

Let's see.

Good girl.

Just a second.

Okay.

Her stomach is sensitive.

Her liver is slightly enlarged.

It's not good, it's not good.

Dani will…

be here in a second.

Okay.
What's your name?

Moti.
-Moti.

Come help me, Moti.

But…
-We'll X-ray her.

I left my phone with him.

Five minutes and we're done,
let's X-ray her.

Pick her up.

I'm…

his tutor, I…

give him private lessons and…

Dani's a good kid.

He's withdrawn,

sensitive.

Yes.

Okay, hold her.

I'll get you an apron.

Oh…

This is the lead apron,

then we'll put on a neck shield.

Okay.

I'll adjust this.

Glasses too.

Okay.

Glasses.

Put these on.

I'll take the X-ray from the other room.

When the red light comes on,

put your hand on her nose,

hold her head

so she doesn't breathe, okay?

Ready?

Good dog.

Good dog.

Are you for real?

That was quick.

Where were you?

They give parking tickets here,

if I knew it would be this fast I would
have parked on the curb and come in.

Dani, dude.

I hate when you're like this.
This is Shula, your dog,

not some school paper
I'm writing for you.

But last time I parked here
I got a 500-shekel ticket.

We'd come out and see the car being towed,

we'd have to get the car
from impound with Shula,

look at the bigger picture.

It's not all about money.

It's not all about money.

You love her, don't you?

Dani,

let's say you're sick in 2nd grade

and your parents send you to a doctor
with someone else.

Does that seem right to you?

When I was a kid,
Berchi took me to the doctor.

Berchi?

Berchi.

Two before Sally.

Berchi is my childhood.

Then came Sue and then Sally.

Berchi.

You don't say

Hey.

Moti, this isn't a good time for a lesson.

I don't care.

We're having a lesson.

I wish I could go away.

What?

Before you enlist?

Before, and never enlist.

Not come back at all.

Where to?

Australia.

Wow, you were ready with that answer.

Yes, seems like a nice place.

Peace and quiet.

People keep to themselves.

Yeah…

Did you go on a trip after the army?

No.

It wasn't in the cards. No.

You mean it? Really?

No.

No sense of adventure?

More sense of fear, perhaps.

But I'm not talking about a trip.

I'm going to move there,

relocate my entire life.

What about…

your folks? Your brother?

My brother will be out
in six or seven years

and what can he look forward to?

No one will give him a second look.

It's better that I leave,
start something there and he'll join me.

Moving is not that easy,
you're not a citizen.

Yeah, but it's a big country, they welcome
anyone who's okay.

You know, they filter people out,

they want to see
how many years of schooling you have,

if you have a high school diploma.

So not Australia, somewhere else,

there must be another place.

I'm trying to help you.

Well it doesn't look like it.

Shimi, tell me, all in all,

do you feel that I'm helping you?

Good question.

If we meet,
it's not like I suffer

and it's not like you don't help me,

but you, you…

Do you think you're helping me?
Do you feel you're helping me?

I hope so.

What do you say?

It's nice here.

Shall we sit?

Can I help?
-No.

Sorry.

Thank you.

This…

is for you.

Thanks.

Just because?

No.

No, not just because.

I think about you.

Thank you.

"The Story of Ferdinand"

I loved this book when I was a kid.

Beautiful.

Here.

"To Maayan,
may we never have to tear out
dedications anymore, Moti"

Did you tell anyone?

My mom.

Really?

What did she say?

She listened…

she didn't really say anything decisive.

She asked me if I wanted to check it out.

What exactly did you say to her?

That I met you

and that this never happened to me before.

That I feel close to you.

Didn't she tell you to call it off?

No.
-I'm kidding.

We didn't talk about it like that, she…

listened and said it happens,

having doubts before a wedding.

And what did you say
when she asked if you wanted to…

check it out?

I once lived with two roommates,
a girl and a guy and…

then they became a couple
and the guy

liked to ask:

"Where do you see yourself in ten years?"

"Maayan, where do you see yourself
in ten years?"

That question would stress me out,

it made me go to my folks
to sleep there sometimes.

Really?

It's a horrible question.

How many boyfriends…

you know,
how many guys did you date?

Yoav is my first serious boyfriend.

You?

Three.

At university.

Was it serious?

No, no… I mean, yes.

I don't know.

Three, four months.

I loved them.

I was supposed to move in
with my last girlfriend,

but she went to India, so…

it didn't…

And not…

boyfriends?

Not people you actually dated?

How many?

What do you mean?

I mean…

With me…

only the ones from university.

After the army
I dated quite a lot.

What's a lot?

It didn't mean anything.

What does that mean?

Doesn’t everything mean something?

It was a time in my life and it's over.

Like, ten? Twenty?

Sorry.

Sorry.

I wish I were there.

Where?

There.

In the water.

Deep.

Where the sun is shining now.

I want to be with you.

I want us to be together.

Let's do this exercise,

we write down where we see ourselves
in ten years.

Maybe where we see ourselves next week.

No, seriously.

Ten years is too much, maybe…

a year from now, I can get that,
but in ten years?

Okay.

Okay, one year.

Alright.

And why are we doing this?

I think it could open our minds.

Okay.

It like, sounds kind of psychological.

I want to do it for me.

Cool.

Alright.

I'm going to get something to drink.

Do you want a drink too?
-No. No.

Should I go first?

Okay…

Passing my first driver's test

or second.

No more memories from the past

or being born to a dad
who's already disabled.

Calling my dad "Dad”,

because it's weird that I don't say

the first word
I ever said in my life.

Dancing at a club
like I dance in my room.

Being in a band
and perform our songs

and the audience will sing along.

That's it.

That's beautiful, Aviv.

I think that maybe…

you should show it to your dad.

I mean, read it to him.

He could get hurt, couldn’t he?

But it's important he knows how you feel

and that you tell him and…

he can take it.

Okay, alright.

Yeah?

Now you.

Truth is…

I didn't think

I would read it out loud.

But that was the task, wasn’t it?

I mean…

Yes, right,
it was the task, but…

I didn't think

we'd read them.

You didn't say that
when I said I'd start

or when I said "I'm first”.

Aviv…
-Are you a moron or what?

Listen, I just…

I'm embarrassed to read

what I wrote.

Not what I wrote,
the way I wrote.

But I read my most personal stuff too.

Me too,

I wrote my most personal thoughts, I did.

I really did.
-Get out of my room. -Wait.

I didn't write them like a teacher.
-Get the hell out,

I don't care.
-I wrote like…

I don't want to see you,
get out of my room.

Get out of my room.

Get out of my room.

I…
-I don't want to see you, get out.

Get the hell out!
-To be with Maayan,

that Maayan leave her husband,

that Maayan not get married,
have sex with her,

that Dad be healthy,
that everyone be healthy.

Not to be alone,

more students, make more money,

to write, question mark,

laugh more, dance more.
That's it.

Who's Maayan?
