Srugim (2008–2012): Season 2, Episode 13 - Episode #2.13 - full transcript

We have one day,
we have to take advantage of it.

We will.

I've opened a fashion house.

I need someone
to work on the catalogue.

It's a bit of a problem for me.

I'm trying to get pregnant
and it's a stressful time.

I'd hate to lose you.

Hi, are you on the way already?
-No, I'm...

I'm fed up with you
and your spinelessness,

and that everyone
comes before me.

I won't throw my life away,
aiftid give up jobs I've dreamt of



just so I can bring
a child into this world

and end up realizing
that I married a coward.

Come back with me.

It was nice knowing you.
Bye.

t's too much for me.

Is this what's separating us?
My son?

I'm not cut out for it right now,
I'm sorry.

"Srugim"

C'mon

Are you serious?

Danya, I think someone's at the door.

Yifat?

Yifat?

I thought you'd only
be back this evening.



The new recruits arrived,
so they let us out early.

Wonderful.

Is there anything to eat?
-Meatballs in tomato sauce.

Could you heat some up for me?

I'll go take a shower.
-Sure, take a shower.

It's great to be home.

Your cooking, Yifat,
is the best.

How was it without me?
-As usual.

Wonderful.

A bit weird at first, but...
you get used to it.

I've got loads of laundry, Amiri,

so I'll leave you alone for a while,
OK? -Sure.

Way to go!

"With the status of a young doctor
whose future is ahead of him

"and the looks of a movie star,
Nati Brenner

"is one of the most eligible,
religious bachelors.

"When we only ranked him fourth,
our hand trembled.

"Undoubtedly, some will say,
'Are you for real?'"

Way to go! Fourty place on the
most eligible religious bachelors list.

I've never heard of it.
-It exists.

What's so special
about the first three?

Fourth place isn't good enough
for you? -No, I don't care...

I'm just wondering how they determine it.
-Take a look.

Farkash, seeond place?

Hello?
-Hi, Nitzan?

This is Yifat, how are you?
-Hi, Yifati, how are you?

Fine, just fine...

I'm calling about your offer.

I think it could suit me.

Oh dear, Yifati,
've hired someone else already.

Really?
-Yes, a few days ago.

I'm sorry, I couldn't wait.

You may even know her,
Miri Goldenberg. -Sure.

Wow, Miri is excellent.
Good choice. -Yes.

Miri is number one
in the ultra-orthodox sector.

In the ultra-orthodox sector?
What do you mean?

She's very much in demand, she...
all the serious jobs go to her.

I know she did the "Rav Shefa" mall,
what else?

"Sanz Terraces"
and "Schtemler Hats.

She's really good,
she works with all the big names.

Yes.

You know what, Yifati?
Let's leave it open.

Who knows?
Things might not work out with her.

Basically you're available
-Yes, absolutely.

Excellent. OK, thanks for calling.
-No problem.

Have a nice day.
-Bye.

Hi, Yifati. What's up?

Is it urgent? Because
I'm in the middle of something.

No, nothing, I just...

I did something nasty and
I need to talk to someone.

Oh...
-You sound busy. -Yes.

Can I speak to you later, sweetie?
Because I'm not really...

focused right now.
-OK.

Bye, sweetie.
-OK, bye.

OK.

"Wandering Amnesia"

Wandering amnesia.

What do you say, Bilha,
is it a good title?

I'll consider it temporary.

"No one who met Raya,

"or accidentally ran into her
in the street,

"could ever imagine

"that she suffers from
wandering amnesia.

"The disease has
no external symptoms

"and it's very difficult to identify
a person suffering from it.

"Every night, in her sleep,

"Raya would forget
another detail in her life.

"On the first night she forgot
the number of the house she lived in.

"On the second night,
the name of the street.

"Then she forgot the name
of the city and state.

"Thus she continued to forget
her friends, family

"and even her language.

"Until one morning
she woke up and discovered

"that she remembers nothing!"

I'm an author, Bilha.
I'm an author!

Hold on Miri Goldenberg doesn't
really work in the ultra orthodox sector?

She does,
but she's good nevertheless.

I wanted the job
that's why I said it.

You told the truth.
What's wrong with fhat?

It's manipulative and
it could cost Miri the job.

Excellent.
-Why is it excellent?

Thanks to that,
you might get the job.

I should've waited to talk to Hodaya.

Why?
-Because you have no feelings.

What do you want?
You're the one who discredited Miri.

I didn't want to discredit her!

See, ev£n you agree
that I was horrible.

I don't agree at all.
You decided on a course of action,

strategically you did
what you had to do.

Besides, in the end,
it's Nitzan's decision.

This is awful,
I have to talk to Nitzan.

Right, but not over the phone.

I have to speak to her
to make amends.

I don't want the job
at the expense of Miri Goldenberg.

So you're opening an
employment agency?

What's wrong with you?
-What's wrong with you?

I wanted to pour my heart out

and you're convincing me
to go on with this scheme.

OK, let's change the subject.
-I don't want to.

You deserve the job too,
not only Miri Goldenberg.

You deserve this job.

Hi, Nati, Dikla speaking.
I write for "NRG Judaism,"

I wrote the article on the
list of eligible bachelors.

I hope you liked it and
have no comments or corrections.

Actually, I'm calling
regarding the same matter.

A sweet girl named Shlomit
works with me at the paper.

She does our restaurant reviews
and she has her eye on you...

"Fourth place on the
most eligible bachelors list"

Way to go, bro!

You're in "NRG Judaism"?
-What an honor.

Are you kidding me?
-No, not at all.

It's a great honor
for the Brenner family.

It's only fourth place.

Yes, I imagined
you'd be disappointed.

What's with these cookies?

Gross, aren't they?
-Yes.

Some of these girls were
really offended by you.

"Nati Brenner is the most arrogant
and smug person I ever dated.

"He'll never get married and it's
a pity to waste a minute on him."

It doesn't say that.
-You think I'm making it up?

Let me see.

Move, move.

"Nati, an empty shell without
substance. Na'ama Cohen."

Who's Na'ama Cohen?

OK, we'll balance this out in a second.

Don't write about yourself.
-Why not?

Who's going to know that it's me?
-No one will know, but...

It's pathetic. -And this
character assassination is OK?

Nati, writing comments about yourself
is as low as it gets. -OK.

Gershon, do you know that
it's eleven already?

A few more minutes, Vera.

A few more minutes,
a few more minutes...

He's my son, I can't leave him at
the mercy of all these tongue lashers.

What do you mean,
"tongue lashers"?

The girls who write
nasty things about him.

You didn't go out with him.

Another few minutes and
you won't be going out with me either.

"He's a grit gi."

"He's a great guy."

What's a "great guy?"
-A nice man.

Like you?
-A little more than me.

Yifat.

Yifat.

You wouldn't believe
the comments about NM.

Listem to this.

"I dated him and he's charming and
sensitive. Ronit, Givat Shmuel."

Isn't it obvious that
Nati wrote this himself?

Why is it obvious?
-Who would write that he's sensitive?

Give your friend
some support.

Look at this one.

"Dr. Brenner saved my life."

Or..."It's inconceivable that such
an amazing man isn't married yet."

Only he uses the term "inconceivable".

"One evening, two sad people
broke into her a^isbsnent

"and took her with them.

"They placed her on a small chair
beside a big table,

"sat opposite her,
and immediately became happy.

"What an unusually wonderful evening,
she thought,

"and immediately became sad,

"because she knew that by tomorrow
she'd forget everything."

Avner, have you got half a shekel,
I'll give it back to you later? -No.

Hi, Nati.

Nati, how are you?
-So-so.

Something came up for discussion
and I wanted your opinion.

The medical clown's contribution.

Dafna? -Yes.
-What contribution?

Is she doing any good
or can we save her salary?

Oh, my.
-An honest answer, please.

Personally, I don't
believe in these things,

but some patients love it.
-You don't believe laughter cures?

I believe antibiotics do a better job.

Thank you.

She's pretty and nice,
blah, blah, blah, but...

There was no chemistry.
But thanks for trying.

What?

If you have someone else,
let me know. Who is she?

Great,
so you'll text me her number?

Excellent. Thanks a lot, Havatzelet.
Bye.

I apologize,
it's been so hectic at work

and I lost your number.

I feel awful, but...
would you remind me your name?

Noa.
-Yes, Noa.

Have you been waiting long?
-Waiting for what?

Hi. Hello.

Sorry, I haven't looked at the menu yet.

Could you come back later?

You're on the
"most eligible list", right?

Yes, Dr. Nati Brenner.

Dr. Nati Brenner,
you sat down next to the wrong girl.

I'd like you to meet...
my husband.

I thought you were...
Excuse-me, I'm sorry.

Sit down, please. I just...

Thank you. I've been so
preoccupied with my work...

I'm really sorry. -It's OK.

Maybe I should start
covering my hair.

That's what I keep telling you.
-I'm not covering my hair!

Why are you being so stubborn?
Look what just happened.

We're not going to
discuss it right now.

Hi, I hope this isn't a mistake,
but you're...

Does it really matter
what my name is?

What do you mean?
-You're 40 minutes late.

Yes, you wouldn't believe
what happened to me

and I lost your phone number.
It happens.

I don't really care,
I was about to leave,

but never mind. Yes?

So how are you...
—Sigalit. -Hi, Sigalit.

I was an "eligible religious
single woman" two years ago.

I went out on fifty dates
in three months.

I'm impressed.
-It was a nightmare.

After meeting so many men,
they all ended up looking the same.

And you know what?
They really were the same.

They spoke, ate, drank
and prayed the same.

I couldn't take any more
so I went to Spain for six months.

When I came back
nobody knew me.

Is that good or bad?

An "eligible bachelor" is a curse.

What can you learn from
going on 50 dates?

Who says I'll go out on 50 dates?
Maybe it stops here.

With me?
-Maybe.

I don't think so.

I don't feel like staying for coffee,
I'm going home.

We're only discussing it.
-No, you're discussing it,

so continue discussing it
with yourself.

We agreed before the wedding.
The rules don't change.

Noa. Sit down for a minute..

Compared to them, our situation is
great. -They're already married.

We don't stand much of a chance
to reach the middle of the first date^

Why? -Because you're already
thinking about your next date.

I know what you're thinking now.

I'm completely focused on you.
-You didn't save my number, did you?

Not yet.
-OK, let's do the following.

I'll write my phone number
on a napkin.

You go out, finish all your dates,
a few months will go by,

if you still want to
and you're free, call me.

Are you serious?
-Very.

You look like a nice guy,

but this is a very bad time
to get to know you.

Bye.

Bye.

Hello.
-Hello, Yifat.

Tzila speaking,
from Dr. Drezner's office.

Hello. -I'm calling to remind you
that you have an appointment today

for a follicle follow-up at 11:30.
-OK. -Goodbye.

Hold on, Tzila,
actually, I can't make it today.

Tomorrow and the day after are
I can't squeeze you in.

So I'll miss it this time.
-Really?

Yes, I can't come in today.

Would you like to reschedule
for next month? -I'll call you.

OK. -Good.
-Goodbye. -Bye, thanks.

"Tel Aviv"

Yes. Yes.

It really sounds good to me.

Yes... listen, I'm just...

Bye. You too.
Bye, bye.

Hi. -Hi.

I was in the neighborhood
so I dropped in to see the office.

Am I disturbing you?

No, not at all.
I'm glad you came.

What are you doing in Tel Aviv?

I came to visit a friend
who moved here,

and I left Jerusalem too early, so...

you have some time to kill.
-Yes.

So you have some time to kill.
-Yes.

Would you like to have
coffee downstairs? -Sure. -Great.

Or would you like a tour
of my studio first? -Gladly.

C'mon, I'll show it to you.

This is our seamstresses department...

That's it.
-Amazing.

Really? -Absolutely.
I'd take all of them now.

I'll save them for you,
I promise.

After the first show,
come and pick out whatever you want.

I shouldn't have come,
now I'm sorry I didn't take the job.

But you don't want me to fire
Miri Goldenberg, right?

God forbid,
that's not what I meant at all.

Miri thinks we should photograph
the models in a crowded street

and have them stand out
from all the rest.

What do you think?

I don't know if I'd add
more people to the picture,

and I'm not sure about a street.
Or maybe yes, but...

I'd add places that bring across
a message of freedom and space.

Maybe girls having a picnic
near a waterfall,

a kind of 50s retro?

But don't hold me to it,
I'd have to think about it.

Although, of course...
it's a matter of taste.

Miri may see something that I don't.
She's the expert.

Yes.

Shall we go out for coffee?
-Yes.

What did you do in Tel Aviv?

Nothing special,
I needed a change of scenery.

I visited my friend, Dania.
-Who's she?

You don't know her,
someone I studied graphic design with.

She moved to Tel Aviv years ago.

She's always begging me
to visit her.

Tel Aviv, huh?

Yeah.

It's like being abroad.
-Yeah, nice.

What did you do today?
-Nothing special.

I gave a surprise quiz,
the whole class failed.

"The short four-legged woman
with a long nose flinched from her.

"Raya tried to move closer,
this was her last chance to catch her.

"What's your name?
Raya asked the short woman.

"Billha, said the woman
in a clear voice.

"Raya understood.

"Finally someone is speaking
in a language she understands."

I'm coming, I'm coming.
Why are you barking?

Can't you see that
I'm imagining stories?

"She took the woman in her arms,

"and hugged her tightly.

"Raya was delighted
in the woman's company,

"their happiness was mutual.

"They continued together,

"knowing that nothing
could separate them."

That's it.

Satisfied?

Huh? Don't ask me later,
"Why aren't I in this story?"

"Why is everyone else in it but me?"

I want you to know, Bilha,
that I think your part is the best.

I think we could be a good match
for several reasons.

One, we're both very busy.
I don't know if I told you

that every two weeks
I fly to Cyprus for three days.

What do you do in Cyprus?
-Our company headquarters is there

and I come to do an audit on
money transfers from the Ukraine

to the Virgin Islands. Theoretically,
I was supposed to move there, but...

I'd rather find a husband first.

Are you shocked?
-No, no, not at all.

I just think Ben Gurion was right.
-About what?

The word "husband"
has a connotation of ownership.

"Partner" is better.

"My partner."

I'm not sure.
-Why not?

What's the sense of ordering espresso
and pouring it on ice-cream?

It tastes better.

Don't you like it?
-It's nice.

Suppose I don't have time
to pray the afternoon prayer,

but I don't want to miss it,

I walk over to the computer,
upload the afternoon prayer,

press "enter" and the computer
prays instead of me

and I'm free to get back to work
with peace of mind.

It's a start-up!

Hi, man, how are you doing?
-Fine.

How's the dating world?

Fully booked. -Fully booked?
Can I add some more?

No, not really.
-Listen, I know this girl,

she graduated from "Ma'ale",
she made a film that won a prize

at the Jewish Film Festival
in Warsaw,

everyone's talking about it.
-Really? -Yes, so...

Hold on, Shuki. -I'll give you
her number and... -Just a second.

I changed my mind about
the medical clown.

I read some material...
Patch Adams, etc...

Did you see the movie?
-Yes...

Anyway, I think she's
a great asset to the department.

We decided yesterday.
-Oh?

We're letting her go.

Even without you, Nati,

enough people thought
that she's dispensable.

Hello, Mr. Atia, how are you?

Doesn't she have a cell phone?

OK, I'll call her.

Bye, thanks.

A date?

Osnat Friedman.
-You don't say...

You heard of her?
-I happened to, yes.

How are you?
-Fine, just fine.

Do you have any plans...

About what you're going to do?
-What I'm going to do?

About work.

What do you mean?

I'm being fired?

You weren't told?

I'm sorry, I was sure you...

Maybe they changed their mind.

I'm starting to work with Nitzan.

I thought you gave up on it.

So did

She called to pressure you?

You could say that.

You think it's a good idea?
I thought it was a problem.

I changed my mind.

Maybe all the pressure about
getting pregnant wasn't good.

Maybe if I have a job I enjoy...

it would do me good.

Yes.

Who's that?

Yes?

Hi. -Hi, Dad.

What are you doing here?
-I came to visit my sons.

Should I leave?
-Of course not, sit down.

Hey! -Hey!
-Just a minute.

I want to tell you something.

I'm getting married.

What are you doing?
-I'm getting married.

Why? -What do you mean, "why"?
You want me to live in sin?

No, but you've only known her a month.
-A little over a month.

OK, never mind,
I understand your reaction.

I wasn't expecting...
roars of happiness.

It's only because we're jealous,
you beat us to it twice.

Say something, Nati.

What do you want me to say?

You're a grown man,
I should tell you what to do?

OK, I got us a special vintage,

don't ask how much
they charged me.

This should put all of us
in a good mood.

Open it, Nati.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Hi, good morning.
-'Good morning, Hodaya.

What happened?
-Bilha is dead.

But she..

She looked fine.

She was very old.

Yifat?

Yifat?

Elya, I'd like you to meet Yifat.
-Hello.

Elya is the studio manager,

and Yifat is our new graphic designer.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.
-Let's continue.
