One on One (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Episode #1.8 - full transcript

Hi.

How many students have you got?

Four.

If, say, you were their age,
do you think you’d become their friend?

That's a good question.

Could you by chance pay me?

Do you think that’s correct?
-Yes, it’s been a while since…

How about you tell your mom you find
it hard to concentrate around Naama?

Use the computer as much as you like.

As much as I like?
-As much as you like.

What if we end up getting 1 Kings?



We’re toast.

Third time’s a charm.

What do you mean third time?
It’s now or fuckin' never.

I started writing about a boy your age

and he’s like you and he speaks like you

and when I write about him,
it’s you I have in mind.

“We go out to the park,
not far from home,

“we leave Dad behind like
some stranger who’s staying with us,

“we don’t speak to him

“and he doesn’t speak to us.”

Do you know what really drives me mad?

That all those years
she couldn’t get over you.

Shimi, tell me, all in all,

do you feel like I’m helping you?



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

I hope so.

Shira. -Yes.
Say, that… woman,

How old do you think she is?

How old do you think I am?

Twenty-five?

More? Less?

I want to be with you.

I want us to be together.

How's it going?
-What's up?

We scheduled for today…

Yeah, but I texted you that I'm working.

No.

Shimi.
-What?

I want us to schedule with the school.

You tell them that you're not interested.

You came all this way for that?

Yes. Things have to be clear and organized

and I gave them my
word that I'd be with you,

that we're studying together,
but that's not happening,

so…

Hadas.

I mentor her for personal commitment class,

so when I'm working,
I let her come here if she wants.

Thanks.
-Nice of you.

Having fun?
-Lots.

Well, Shimi?

A meeting at school?
-Do you know there are kids in my grade

who got a 90 in civics

and they don't know who Begin was?

They don't know which prime minister
signed the peace treaty with Egypt.

It's absurd.

I want you to come to the meeting
and say that, assume responsibility.

That's what bothers you, huh?

That the school staff will say

you're not doing your job.
-No.

That's what's stressing you out.
-No, it isn't,

I think it's stressing you out.
After all the chances you got,

you won't complete 12 years of schooling.
Do you want to throw it all away?

If not for you,
think about your folks.

Do the right thing.

It's the right thing to do.
-Right for whom?

Right for whom?

Leave me alone.
And don't come looking for me, I've had it.

You know what?
You'll be a great teacher.

You sound just like them.

We're talking after the
War of Independence.

Are you listening? Look.

Just think of how every other person
was an immigrant, right?

So, all we have to remember about
the wave of immigration

is that the main difficulties were…
-I'm hungry.

Dani, we had hardships finding work.

Right?

Finding housing, transit camps.

Right? Development towns.

And that takes us to…

difficulty with language acquisition.

Right?

Are you hungry?

What, no vegetables?

Maybe in the other one.

Where is it?

In the pantry.

Cool.

Put a pot of water on the stove.
I'll wash these.

What?
-That's a wok.

A real pot, deep, for the pasta.

Excellent.

Put water in, light the stove.

So, what's with the bride?

We don't want you getting stoned.

I really am scared her fiancé
will come looking for me.

But…

I didn't commit adultery.

No?
-No.

You're a hero, a righteous man.

I can't.

If I want something to happen, I can't…

have sex with her.

Did you get that advice on a radio program?

No, but if I have sex with her…

there are people who
can live a double life.

She'll get married
and we'll have sex from time to time

and it will go on and…

As long as we don't have sex,
the better the chances she'll leave him.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Why is that?

What if the sex is bad, don't you want
to know before you break up a family?

Start by telling her to think of you
when she's with him, you know?

Hi, Dani. -Hi.
-How are you, Moti?

Hi, Dvora.

What are you doing here?

We're in the middle.

Yes?
-Yes.

You must have a lot of work now, right?
-Yes.

Mom, Moti came over to get paid,
we didn't pay him yet.

How much is it, Moti?

I have to…
-Take out your famous list.

Yes.

I think the water is ready, Moti.

Here. Dani, you see? 4.150.

4.150?

Wow. Okay.
Last time it was around 2.000.

Yes, but we had lots of lessons since then.

A lot.
-Yes. Yes.

Dani, what's the meaning
of all these lessons?

Dani.
-What?

This is not what we talked about.

It's just… in January I raised the…

but I let Dani know, I let you know.
-Yes, yes, yes.

You told Dani?

Does he pay you?
-No.

You should have informed me

instead of surprising me with this sum.

You're right.

Besides that,
Dani, hiring two tutors,

who heard of such a thing?
-What do you want?

I told you a thousand times
that Moti is staying

and if you don't want to listen
that's your problem. -Dani…

Besides, his mother died.
-Dani, Moti doesn't need your help,

we're not a charity
and your dad works hard to make a living.

Dvora, Dani, please. Please.

And only Moti gets the bonus.

Hello.
-Moti, what’s doing?

All good, Dad.
How are you?

You know the park near the Super Pharm?

Yes.
-There are some books someone left there

on the picnic table.

Okay.
-Could you pick them up for me?

He said it should be here,
on the benches somewhere.

Here.
-Yes.

What do you do with them?

He. I'm not really...

Every Friday, people sell all
kinds of stuff outside City Hall.

So he sells books.

That's it.

Were you ever there with him?

I helped him bring the books,
I never stuck around.

When I'm with him I feel
as if I'm betraying my mom.

He left the house when I was 11 or 12.
-How old was she?

Forty eight, forty nine.

Since then she slept in a single bed,
she never had anyone else.

I hope she did, but…

Annotated Bible again.

This is weird.

Isn't it?

Bible.

Look.

"Sex and the Stars"

I'm Taurus, you?

Sagittarius.

Sagittarius?

I never met a Sagittarius.

Let's see.

What?

I'm buying this.

What's Yoav's sign?

Pisces.

At your wedding…

you won't be sad.
I mean…

you'll kiss, dance,
count the money and…

honeymoon.
Do you think you'll think of me?

I can't explain it, Moti.

I'm…

There's all the wedding preparations and…

there are these moments
when we meet.

It's as if they're happening
in different time zones.

This is the best date I had.

I have somewhere to be,
do you want me to drop you off?

No.

Okay.

Say hi to your dad.

Sure. I will.

Bye.
-Bye.

FYI, There's always a key here.

Where were you?
-Doing laundry.

Here, feel here.

Great. Thank you.

No, leave it here,
I'll sort it out later.

What's with the lottery?

I haven't checked yet.

Oh, why not?

Today, tomorrow.

But the results are in, right?

I like to give it a day or two.

You love it, don't you?
To keep living the fantasy?

Could be.

Mom was like that too, wasn't she?

She had her little fantasy world.

Mom?
-Yes.

Maybe.

How are your students? Prepared?

I hope so.

You hope so?

I hope they are. I…

I think they are. I think…

I think they can pass,
that they should pass.

Depends on the exam they get and…

I didn't have a chance to test them,
that worries me.

I didn't have time.

So that's it?

You prepare them just to pass?

Where are the records that were here?

Dad, where are the records?

I sold them.

You sold them?

I really wanted them.

You should have asked.
-You mean you sold them all?

He came and took them all.

I don't believe it.

We had the Bangladesh performance
with George Harrison.

Yes, he was very impressed.

Of course, it's a treasure.
How much did you sell it for?

It's done.

He took them.

So what will you leave us, Dad?

Huh?

Dad, what will you leave us?

That you need to ask yourself.

Your parents aren't together, right?

No.

They divorced.

When?

When I was in junior high.

And...

do you remember
the last night you were a family?

One day my parents
had to sign my report card,

you know, mid-term?

Then I realized he wasn’t there
and that was that.

I wrote something new,
if you want to hear it.

I'll read it,
tell me what you think?

Yes. Sure.

Do you mind if I close the door?
-No, no, go ahead.

"At night Mom gives me her hand
and says we've been through a lot.

"We lie under the covers that warm us
and I think about us all.

"Dad, Yoni, Shushi,

"That we're each in our beds and
there's no remnant of the family that was.

"Mom falls asleep with an open book
and she doesn't look like Mom.

"She looks like kids who fall asleep on
the couch and are taken to their room.

"I carefully remove her glasses
and turn off the night lamp

"and think, if I weren't here,
no one else would do it.

"That without me Mom would be alone."

Shushi is my sister.

Will your mom return to their bedroom?

I don't know.

But I…

I like being in the room with her.

It's…

I don't want her to leave.

I understand.

What's going to happen?

Wow, this is cute.

Is that you?

How cute.

And these?
-My siblings.

My sister Shushi and Yoni.

You're the youngest? No way.

I didn't know.

And you're a scholar.

Freud…
This book is awesome.

I didn't read them all…

You didn't read them all.
Well, no one ever does.

Did you grow up here?
-No, just a few years.

The Renaissance in Italy.
Wow. Classy.

You like?
-I like.

What do you listen to?

That's my sister's collection.

You didn't read or listen, it's
just lying around. This is great.

V, Z, Y, A, C, E, G,
L, N, P, R, T, yes! -Nice.

Other eye.
V, Z, Y, A, C, G, L, N,

P, R, T.
-Wow.

Perfect reading, girls.

Yeah, my mom got that.

She has a sense of humor.

What's with the weirdo?

She's not a weirdo, she's…

going through some stuff.

Who isn't?

That's true too.

When will you hand in your shift roster?

I'll work a bit less
because of the final exams.

Wednesday, Friday.
-Friday is good.

Yeah?
-I'm on Friday too.

You're on the slicing.

Wow, I had a dream.

I'm touching all the pastries
without gloves. I swear. -Edgy.

I started seeing someone.
-Really?

You didn't tell me.
-Yeah, I know.

It's not that…

Shall we make something to drink?

Like this?
-Yes.

Thanks.
-Sugar? -One.

You look sad.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

That…

it's fun working with you.

We won't ruin this.

We won't ruin this.

You're in love with someone else,
so we won't ruin this.

I don't…

Moti, should I write a lot,
like on a literature exam?

No! Quote, explanation.

Guys, quote, explanation, okay?
Don't scatter, be precise.

How long will this take? I have work at 14:00.
-Cancel it.

Asher, the exam is all that matters now.

Should I say 14:30?

15:00? Is that okay?

Guys, you need 55 to pass.
Get something to eat and drink.

Answer all the questions.

Let's go, room 210.
-Thanks, Moti.

Thanks, Moti.

Moti, have you seen the exam?
-Of course not, no way.

Guys, good luck.
-Thanks. -Thanks, Moti.

Yossi.
-Go, 2 Kings.

We have to go over the lists of every class
and make sure everyone took the exam.

Is everyone here?
-Yes. -Fantastic.

That's an achievement in itself.
Good job.

I just hope the exam will be fair.

Don't worry.

They studied, you guided them.
You're their guiding hand.

Good job, you did a good deed.
-Thank you.

I want to consult with you on something,

offer you something. Are you around?
-Yes, sure. -Then we'll talk.

So how's the exam?

Stories of Elijah, the widow and her son,
1 Kings. -Excellent.

Couldn't ask for more.
-We did it.

We sure did.
-Wonderful.

Almost the same as the summer exam.

Exactly the same.
-Excellent.

Amazing, we did an amazing job, ladies.

It was worth coming in sick.

May I?

They'll be proud.

Asher.

What happened? Why are you out here?
-You tell me what happened.

Come on, I want to talk to you.
-You all messed with us. -Come.

Excuse me.

Adani, put that phone away.

Hi, I'm with them, I want to give them
some instructions, if that's okay.

Sure.
-Moti, it's all good, that's my uncle Chaim.

Nice to meet you.
-Likewise.

Moti, what's with this widow?

Cut the noise!
-Be quiet,

I'll disqualify you and your exam.
-Asher, Asher.

Give us a few minutes, okay?
-We're starting from 68, how will we pass?

Moti, this is not right. Sixty-eight?

We didn't study 1 Kings.
-Hey, hey.

What can we do, Asher,
we took a chance.

Guys, listen.
This is on me. My mistake, my fuck up,

but it's not a lost cause.
Answer as if this were an unseen,

read the questions,
understand them and answer.

You can do this, I know you can.

But we didn't study this.
-Don't say that.

You learned how to deal
with the questions and the verses.

I'm not saying you'll get 32 points,
but half.

Half is good too, right?

Guys, it's… it's Hebrew,

you know Hebrew and you're smart.

You're not leaving this room
until you've answered both sections. Clear?

Do this and you'll pass.

Do this and you'll pass.

You've got your matriculation.

Let's go.

Asher.

You can do this, believe me!

You can do this!
-I knew you'd come in, Moti.

I swear, I knew you'd come in.

I said, you'll come in from the window
if you had to.

I said it. Didn't I, Uncle Chaim?

He did, and how.

When's Rachamim's bris?
-Tuesday.

He was born four kilos.

You don't say.

Okay, guys, got it?

Got it.
-Adani. -Bye, Moti.

Thanks, Moti.
-Moti, what's 23-24?

The letters Kaf Gimel, Kaf Dalet.
-Done.

He's the man.

Hello.
-Moti, right? -Yes.

It's Ludmila,
from Avigdor's public housing. -Yes?

Are you his son?
-Yes, yes.

Your dad fell, he's on the floor.

How is he?
Did he break anything? Is he conscious?

He can't get up.
The cleaning lady found him.

I'm talking to Moti, yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

He doesn't want us to call an ambulance
and he needs an ambulance.

Luckily the cleaning lady found him.
-Okay, I…

I'll be there in 20-30 minutes.

Okay, I'm here with your dad.
-Bye, thanks.
