Srugim (2008–2012): Season 2, Episode 8 - Episode #2.8 - full transcript
We can't leave him alone.
No way am I staying alone
with Dad at the Sabbath table.
Are you so unhappy now?
I don't know what's come over me.
You thought being married
would be wonderful.
But... what can you do,
it's not always like that.
I have a job interview
at Yedioth newspaper.
From "nothing" to a journalist?
It doesn't work that way in life.
I quit.
What are you doing?
-I'm leaving.
I can't stay here alone.
-Then quit too!
You're a journalist, aren't you?
I got it.
security.
And for that you'll go
to Tel Aviv every day?
Yes.
Have you ever been
with someone?
Never.
Are you attracted to women?
I can't answer that.
Do you think we have a chance?
I hope so.
"Srugim"
Excuse me..
Our ball fell into your bag.
No kidding.
I swear,
I saw it go in.
While you're at it, why don't you
take out a piece of paper
and write down your phone number?
Thanks.
If you change your mind
about the number...
Hi, Merav, what's happening
You won't believe this,
I'm not on duty for 48 hours.
A medical miracle.
Say... how about
going on a trip?
I don't know,
the Judean Desert or something.
Then how about
catching a movie tonight?
OK, I understand.
I understand, no problem.
We need a new refrigerator.
We need to pamper ourselves,
to have some fun for a week.
Well...
-It's Nati.
Watch the road.
How much of the deposit
is being released?
About 8,000.
The freezer is leaking.
Yifati, I don't feel like doing something
"serious" with the money.
I feel like having fun.
We wanted to go to the
Yehudit Ravitz concert in Caesarea.
Great idea. We'll combine it
with a week at a ritzy hotel.
We don't have to
squander all the money.
Enjoying ourselves
isn't squandering.
Who's that?
It's Nati again.
-Put him on speaker.
Yes, Nati.
The new Coen Brothers?
In half an hour?
No.
What else is there?
No, we're not free today.
Yes, yes,
maybe tomorrow.
We'll talk.
Bye.
Half an hour,
he must be kidding.
I'm capable of talking and
driving at the same time.
Hi, Dad.
Nati.
What's happening? Is everything alright?
-Everything's great.
How are you?
-I'm great too.
May I?
-Yeah, sure.
I haven't seen you for a while
and I was in the neighborhood,
is Roi home?
No, he's at the library.
Would you like something to drink?
A glass of boiling water, thanks.
Where are you coming from?
An organized tour
in pursuit of medicinal herbs.
Didn't you take that tour last week?
No, it's a different one.
When are you going to the hospital?
-I'm back on duty in two days.
So many days off?
I didn't think it was possible.
It happens once in a blue moon.
Does it affect your salary?
If you need help, Nati,
just say the word.
No...
It's OK, don't worry.
I have money.
Very good.
Roi should've been here by now.
If you want to go out, go ahead,
you don't have to wait
with your old man.
It's OK, no problem.
Are you dating anyone these days?
Really, Dad.
Because if you're not,
Gita has a very nice girl for you.
I'm sure Gita has
a very nice girl for me,
but it's irrelevant at the moment.
So, are you seeing someone?
' -Dad! -Sorry.
OK.
Where are you going?
It's a shame to spend my time
in Jerusalem watching TV.
I think I'll go out
and get some fresh air.
Want me to come along?
-No, it's not necessary.
OK.
-I'll be going.
Take this in case I'm not home
when you come back.
We finally found some use for it.
See you later.
-Bye.
If you want to hit on me,
wait in line.
No, I only need a prescription,
I have a heart murmur.
So this is what you look like in
daylight. -Have you been waiting long?
A few minutes.
How did it go at the paper?
-Great.
I'm starting in two da^s.
As I was leaving,
Shilo De-Beer came by
and asked me to move his car.
Who's he?
-The Editor-in-Chief.
And he actually spoke to you!
Go on, get up.
Get up, you skeptic.
Where are we going?
C'mon, I'll buy you a cold drink.
-Yes!
You should've been here
much earlier.
Dad was waiting for you.
It's OK, he's sleeping over.
I'll see him later on.
It has nothing to do with it,
you should've been here.
OK, where is he now?
He went out for a walk
about two hours ago.
He seems down in the dumps.
Is this what you’re doing
on your time off?
I could've gone out but I didn't want
Dad to come back to an empty house.
He came here to see us
and for the last two hours
he's been walking the streets
all alone like a dog.
We have to devote
more time to him.
Yes.
Hi, Dad.
Hi, Roi.
How are you?
-How are you?
I thought that you probably
haven't eaten meat for a long time
so I brought all the ingredients
for a barbecue.
We don't have a grill.
-You do now.
Sorry, I have a lunch date with Reut.
Invite her too.
No, she's swamped with work,
we're eating near her office.
Great.
As long as you're together.
What?
I don't think he minds.
Did you expect him
to beg you to stay?
Fine.
I'll be with him tonight, OK?
We'll watch a movie on DVD.
You're free to go out.
What movie?
What are you smiling about?
Rivka, I'm with you,
what did you say?
I suggest you extend the deposit
for another seven years.
But I can withdraw it now, right?
Without being fined.
Yes, you can order the bank
not to renew it,
but it would be a shame.
Can I do it now, over the phone?
No, you'll have to come here.
Why is everything so complicated
with you people?
If it's more convenient,
you can do it over the Internet.
Would you like a code
to access your account?
Sir?
-Yes.
I mean, no, I'll call you later.
Thank you.
You're welcome, sir.
Hi, Yifati,
Listen, I forgot we have
a staff meeting today.
About three hours.
I'll come straight home.
I want to show you something,
come over here.
Listen, I have to go back
to the teacher's lounge.
See you later.
Bye.
Besides the fender,
the entire back axle is crushed,
I have to replace it.
How much will it cost, more or less?
-Around 8,000 shekels.
8,000?
Look, the entire axle...
is completely crooked.
Hello.
What? Really?
Nobody wants to switch?
Are you sure?
OK, fine, if...
If something comes up,
let me know. Bye. Thanks.
Work?
Yeah.
I's not a good way to live,
all work.
You're right.
I know that being without Mom
is very tough on you.
She wouldn't want you
to live this way.
Once a year, we'd have a "fun day",
during the Passover holiday.
Rabbi Bruchin
took you to "Sin City"?
The rabbi's wife did.
We'd come down from
the Golan Heights on buses
to see movies
on Dizengoff Square.
I would've loved to see you then.
A sweet little girl with braids
and a skirt in the middle of Tel Aviv.
I wasn't sweet at all.
I had short hair.
-You didn't!
Yes and lice,
so I had short hair until ninth grade.
Driver, stop here.
Oh... hello.
What's happening?
Welcome.
Come in, come in.
Hello.
Hodaya.
-I've heard a lot about you.
You're religious.
-From birth.
I thought you cut loose
from your religious friends.
Yeah, he's on the verge
of becoming unreligious.
You wish.
Are you thirsty, hungry, anything?
No, we're fine.
All we need is a shower
and everything's perfect.
The sleeping arrangements
are as follows:
We're going to sleep in my room
and Hodaya will sleep on the couch.
Are you serious, bro?
-As serious as the Torah.
OK, I'll rinse the sand off of myself.
Sorry.
Don't be, I understand completely.
OK, I'll get you some bedding.
Thank you.
-My pleasure.
So, you separate?
Between sacred and secular books.
Actually, it's something new.
It suddenly seemed strange
to have Grossman, Agatha Christie,
Rabbi Soloveitchik and the Baba Kama
mixed together on the shelf, so...
-What changed?
I moved to Tel Aviv.
I needed to define things.
I'm sorry that I'm
separating you and Assaf.
Assaf took it hard.
Assaf should thank you for
letting him sleep here so much.
Nonsense, it's temporary.
I don't think it's temporary.
He isn't taking the apartment
on Congress Street?
What?
-The apartment near the Central Station.
Were there problems
with the landlord or...
I don't think so.
I don't know.
Sorry.
For what?
-He didn't tell you he's moving.
No big deal.
What's happening?
Is everything OK? -Yeah.
-Everything's perfect.
Got a towel?
-Yeah.
That was a long staff meeting.
Yeah.
Wow, ice cream.
What are we celebrating?
Not celebrating, apologizing.
Apologizing for what?
For behaving like a bank clerk.
You're right, we're always saving,
we're allowed to pamper ourselves.
You weren't that bad.
-I've thought about it,
we can take a trip, enjoy ourselves,
buy a horse if it's important to you.
We'll do whatever you want.
It's not that important to me.
It isn't?
-No.
The important thing is that
we're together and we're happy.
We don't have to travel for that...
or buy such expensive ice cream.
Are you saying it for me?
To pacify me?
No. I really think so.
Sweetie, you're the best.
You'll see, we'll have a ball here
without spending much
and the money will lie in
our account for a rainy day.
Really.
Go for it!
Wow, what a scent.
Not bad, huh?
Just for watching
a movie with us?
What movie?
Roi is picking some De Funes film
at the library for you.
We didn't talk about
watching a movie this evening.
Would you rather go out?
We could go out.
Sorry, I...
I didn't tell you,
I'm busy tonight.
Really? What?
Dinner...
With friends.
-That's nice.
OK then, bye.
Would you like me to stay with you?
-No, of course not.
Have a good time.
We'll watch a movie tomorrow.
We'll go to the movies,
tickets on me. -OK.
See you.
-Bye. Enjoy.
"Why don't you stick 10 pins
to keep your pants up?"
Is this De Funes guy
supposed to be funny?
If you had told me
while I was at the video library
I would've brought something else.
Isn't there a game on or something?
-Nothing.
Is it OK if I go to Reut?
Didn't you meet this afternoon?
Of course it's OK.
Dismissed.
Thanks.
Send my regards.
"We came to talk to you
about marriage, Father."
He's gone.
We can do whatever we want.
He doesn't deserve to be lied to.
What he doesn't know
won't hurt him.
You live in Jerusalem and
work in Tel Aviv, right? -So?
You'll have to be here quite a bit.
You ought to consider his feelings.
What's with you?
Did you have a bad dream?
There was noise
from the street all night.
I don't know why anybody
would want to live in this city.
How many reasons do you want?
I have to brush my teeth.
-Hold on...
Wash the night off, I'm sure the
rest of the day will be much better.
We'll drink coffee for two hours
and look for celebs on the street.
There are some great used book stores
on Allenby Street.
I like used book stores.
I know.
Varna, not Verona.
Varna.
It's a Bulgarian summer resort.
Anyway, she came back less rested
than before she left.
It's full of pot-bellied men
with hair on their back
wearing Speedos.
Say, is this Chinese food again?
-How did you know?
The smell.
Should we say something?
I know it's a contribution, but still,
Chinese food two weeks in a row?
It's OK, that's what they have left over.
What?
- Something's wrong with the bumper.
It looks OK to me.
That's the problem,
it looks brand new.
I don't understand.
There was a dent right here.
And where are all the stickers?
It didn't fix itself.
What are the options?
Amir surprised you.
And he didn't say anything?
That doesn't make sense.
Amir banged up the car
and said nothing?
He had better not.
The car smells so nice.
Oh, you hung up a new deodorizer.
No.
"Abu Ramzi Garage".
Hello.
My husband was there yesterday,
with a red 1989 Subaru...
We think he forgot his wallet.
He didn't tell you
he banged up the car, huh?
What? What are you talking about?
-Lady...
I get a call like this
at least once a week.
So... did you find a wallet?
There was no wallet
in the Subaru.
Is that all, lady?
-Yes, thank you.
Hold on,
as long as we're talking,
tell me, theoretically, how much does
it cost to fix a dented Subaru trunk?
What's tattooed on your hand?
-It's a secret.
Even my boyfriend doesn't know.
-Really?
Why?
Because it's only mine.
This belongs to both of us.
-Oh.
Nice.
Bye.
-Bye.
It's the middle of the day,and
everybody's sitting in cafes.
Don't people work in this city?
-They work in cafes.
Doing what exactly?
They're screenplay writers, composers,
restaurant reviewers.
Everybody lives in Tel Aviv.
-Or is dying to live here.
I don't think that somebody
who waits in a restaurant
can afford the rent here.
It's not that expensive,
not more than Jerusalem.
How do you know?
-It's a known fact.
Did you look for an apartment here?
-No.
Yair told me.
Hi there.
How was school?
-As usual.
What?
You tell me.
Nothing.
Everything was usual.
Listen, about the money...
I thought about it some more
and actually I feel like
having some fun with it.
Yeah? -Yes. We didn't go anywhere
after the wedding. -Right.
So why don't we take advantage of the
opportunity and go away for a week?
OK.
Abroad?
What's changed?
-I don't know, I changed my mind.
Don't you want to anymore?
-No, I want to.
Of course I do,
unless you're doing it for me
and in that case,
it really isn't necessary.
I'm doing it for both of us.
Abroad or here? I don't know,
Going abroad is more expensive.
No, no... Going abroad is fine.
Why not?
Great. How about Varna?
Reut said it's beautiful.
Verona.
-No, Varna, in Bulgaria.
Varna.
Why not?
Great, why don't we sit down
and look for a hotel?
Yes, sure, in a minute.
-Why, where are you going?
I'll be right back,
I forgot something.
There you go.
Thanks, Nati, I'll return it ASAP.
-I know, relax.
Now I can relax.
Why don't you tell Yifat?
All you did was bang up the car.
Go up north for three days,
stay at a guesthouse,
take a modest vacation.
She really wants to go abroad.
-I hope it doesn't blow up in your face.
Thanks to you, it won't.
Thanks, dude.
You want to drink something?
Have a cookie?
Cookies? Since when
do you have cookies?
Since my Dad's here.
Where is he?
He went to buy some shelves.
He decided that
I have to have shelves.
He's going crazy
without my mom.
It's understandable.
-Yeah.
Sit, sit down.
I feel sorry for him.
He's alone all the time.
Lucky I'm not on duty.
It turned out for the best.
It's important for
someone to be with him.
He was with my mother for 35 years.
He was never alone.
He can't even make an omelet.
Do you have to go?
I have to settle this thing with Yifat.
Go on, you homebody.
-Thanks, Nati.
Vegetarian maki,
inside-out shrimps.
Enjoy your food.
-Thank you.
Why don't you try it once?
I don't eat shrimps.
-Take a small bite.
C'mon, a tiny bite.
Get off my back,
you're being obsessive.
OK, so you don't eat creepy crawlies.
-Not that kind.
It's crowded and cafes
are full of loafers
and you can't think of
a single reason to live in this city.
So I guess you don't want to move
to Tel Aviv with me.
What?
I thought of asking you
to move in with me, but...
What's so funny?
I thought you were moving to Tel Aviv
and you didn't want to tell me.
Is that why you've been
making faces all morning?
Yair said you're looking for an apartment
and you didn't say word
so I thought... -What a moron.
-No, you're the moron.
Why did you start looking
without saying anything?
I wanted to surprise you.
You did.
Will you move in with me?
I'll think about it.
In our new apartment...
I want a fur toilet-seat cover.
No problem, we'll cover
anything you want with fur.
Striped. -Striped.
Classy.
We'll get identical tattoos?
-Also striped.
I'm serious.
What do you mean, "serious"?
I feel like getting a tattoo.
Will you do it with me?
You feel like killing your father
in the prime of his life,
that's what you feel like doing.
You're crazy.
Are you sleeping
Come, I'll take you to bed.
-Not yet.
Dad?
Hush...
Go back to sleep.
What time is it?
8:30.
Where are you going?
I'm going for a walk.
-Wait, I'll come with you.
That's OK,
go back to sleep.
I slept enough.
It won't hurt me to get a little exercise.
Nati.
I'm going by myself.
-OK.
We'll have lunch together, OK?
You're going out like that?
Wearing a tie?
See you later.
Wait a minute.
Yes.
Dad, you don't have to knock.
I thought of waiting a little longer,
check things out
before I talk to you.
I met a woman.
Vera.
A lovely woman,
she lives in Jerusalem.
I met her on a tour.
We started talking.
I understand.
Have a ball.
We can drive to Balchik too,
it's a half an hour north of Varna.
It says here, "The place is
adorned with natural cliffs
"climbing to a height of 60 meters
above sea level made of red stone.
"According to local folklore,
"40 maidens tied their braids
to each other
"and jumped together to their death
"to avoid being raped
by the Turkish army."
I can't believe
you're continuing with this.
With what?
What?
-What do you mean, "what"?
How exactly are we going to Varna
if all our money is at
Abu Ramzi & Sons garage?
How long have you known?
What difference does it make?
-It makes a difference. How long?
Since yesterday.
-You've known about the car
since yesterday and
you've let me squirm?
I can't believe it,
you're acting like some "effendi",
just to avoid telling me
that you banged up the car?
Am I that scary?
If you can't talk to me,
what does that say about us?
Now you're quiet?
Great.
At least you've stopped lying.
I'm starting.
Don't move.
Hi. -Hey.
Am I late?
-A little, it's OK.
Wow, I've been itching all day.
See what I have there.
What do you say?
-Wow.
I knew exactly what I wanted.
Nice, isn't it?
It's very nice, amazing.
Would you like something to drink?
Red wine?
-No, I'll have water.
Me too.
You don't like the bird.
What difference does that make?
Of course it does.
If you don't like it, say so.
I don't like it.
So you'll remove it now?
What's come over you?
-Over me?
I didn't go and tattoo a bird
on my shoulder.
What do you have against birds?
-Nothing,
unless they're
tattooed on your skin.
I want to understand this,
are you against tattoos on principle?
Hodaya, I told you,
my principles are irrelevant.
You're still religious,
that's what you are.
A Tel-Avivian on the outside.
But on the inside,
you're still religious.
Have you decided?
Yifat?
-What?
I banged up the car and it cost
a fortune to fix and...
We can't go abroad now.
Yifat?
I knew
that you banged up the car
and I manipulated you
instead of talking to you.
I took a loan from Nati.
Varna is the most repulsive
place in Europe.
I'm sorry I lied,
I didn't want you to be disappointed.
At least you had good intentions.
We both weren't at our best.
Listen, I gotta hang up,
I don't have money for cell phones.
No way am I staying alone
with Dad at the Sabbath table.
Are you so unhappy now?
I don't know what's come over me.
You thought being married
would be wonderful.
But... what can you do,
it's not always like that.
I have a job interview
at Yedioth newspaper.
From "nothing" to a journalist?
It doesn't work that way in life.
I quit.
What are you doing?
-I'm leaving.
I can't stay here alone.
-Then quit too!
You're a journalist, aren't you?
I got it.
security.
And for that you'll go
to Tel Aviv every day?
Yes.
Have you ever been
with someone?
Never.
Are you attracted to women?
I can't answer that.
Do you think we have a chance?
I hope so.
"Srugim"
Excuse me..
Our ball fell into your bag.
No kidding.
I swear,
I saw it go in.
While you're at it, why don't you
take out a piece of paper
and write down your phone number?
Thanks.
If you change your mind
about the number...
Hi, Merav, what's happening
You won't believe this,
I'm not on duty for 48 hours.
A medical miracle.
Say... how about
going on a trip?
I don't know,
the Judean Desert or something.
Then how about
catching a movie tonight?
OK, I understand.
I understand, no problem.
We need a new refrigerator.
We need to pamper ourselves,
to have some fun for a week.
Well...
-It's Nati.
Watch the road.
How much of the deposit
is being released?
About 8,000.
The freezer is leaking.
Yifati, I don't feel like doing something
"serious" with the money.
I feel like having fun.
We wanted to go to the
Yehudit Ravitz concert in Caesarea.
Great idea. We'll combine it
with a week at a ritzy hotel.
We don't have to
squander all the money.
Enjoying ourselves
isn't squandering.
Who's that?
It's Nati again.
-Put him on speaker.
Yes, Nati.
The new Coen Brothers?
In half an hour?
No.
What else is there?
No, we're not free today.
Yes, yes,
maybe tomorrow.
We'll talk.
Bye.
Half an hour,
he must be kidding.
I'm capable of talking and
driving at the same time.
Hi, Dad.
Nati.
What's happening? Is everything alright?
-Everything's great.
How are you?
-I'm great too.
May I?
-Yeah, sure.
I haven't seen you for a while
and I was in the neighborhood,
is Roi home?
No, he's at the library.

It's OK, don't worry.
I have money.
Very good.
Roi should've been here by now.
If you want to go out, go ahead,
you don't have to wait
with your old man.
It's OK, no problem.
Are you dating anyone these days?
Really, Dad.
Because if you're not,
Gita has a very nice girl for you.
I'm sure Gita has
a very nice girl for me,
but it's irrelevant at the moment.
So, are you seeing someone?
' -Dad! -Sorry.
OK.
Where are you going?
It's a shame to spend my time
in Jerusalem watching TV.
I think I'll go out
and get some fresh air.
Want me to come along?
-No, it's not necessary.
OK.
-I'll be going.
Take this in case I'm not home
when you come back.
We finally found some use for it.
See you later.
-Bye.
If you want to hit on me,
wait in line.
No, I only need a prescription,
I have a heart murmur.
So this is what you look like in
daylight. -Have you been waiting long?
A few minutes.
How did it go at the paper?
-Great.
I'm starting in two da^s.
As I was leaving,
Shilo De-Beer came by
and asked me to move his car.
Who's he?
-The Editor-in-Chief.
And he actually spoke to you!
Go on, get up.
Get up, you skeptic.
Where are we going?
C'mon, I'll buy you a cold drink.
-Yes!
You should've been here
much earlier.
Dad was waiting for you.
It's OK, he's sleeping over.
I'll see him later on.
It has nothing to do with it,
you should've been here.
OK, where is he now?
He went out for a walk
about two hours ago.
He seems down in the dumps.
Is this what you’re doing
on your time off?
I could've gone out but I didn't want
Dad to come back to an empty house.
He came here to see us
and for the last two hours
he's been walking the streets
all alone like a dog.
We have to devote
more time to him.
Yes.
Hi, Dad.
Hi, Roi.
How are you?
-How are you?
I thought that you probably
haven't eaten meat for a long time
so I brought all the ingredients
for a barbecue.
We don't have a grill.
-You do now.
Sorry, I have a lunch date with Reut.
Invite her too.
No, she's swamped with work,
we're eating near her office.
Great.
As long as you're together.
What?
I don't think he minds.
Did you expect him
to beg you to stay?
Fine.
I'll be with him tonight, OK?
We'll watch a movie on DVD.
You're free to go out.
What movie?
What are you smiling about?
Rivka, I'm with you,
what did you say?
I suggest you extend the deposit
for another seven years.
But I can withdraw it now, right?
Without being fined.
Yes, you can order the bank
not to renew it,
but it would be a shame.
Can I do it now, over the phone?
No, you'll have to come here.
Why is everything so complicated
with you people?
If it's more convenient,
you can do it over the Internet.
Would you like a code
to access your account?
Sir?
-Yes.
I mean, no, I'll call you later.
Thank you.
You're welcome, sir.
Hi, Yifati,
Listen, I forgot we have
a staff meeting today.
About three hours.
I'll come straight home.
I want to show you something,
come over here.
Listen, I have to go back
to the teacher's lounge.
See you later.
Bye.
Besides the fender,
the entire back axle is crushed,
I have to replace it.
How much will it cost, more or less?
-Around 8,000 shekels.
8,000?
Look, the entire axle...
is completely crooked.
Hello.
What? Really?
Nobody wants to switch?
Are you sure?
OK, fine, if...
If something comes up,
let me know. Bye. Thanks.
Work?
Yeah.
I's not a good way to live,
all work.
You're right.
I know that being without Mom
is very tough on you.
She wouldn't want you
to live this way.
Once a year, we'd have a "fun day",
during the Passover holiday.
Rabbi Bruchin
took you to "Sin City"?
The rabbi's wife did.
We'd come down from
the Golan Heights on buses
to see movies
on Dizengoff Square.
I would've loved to see you then.
A sweet little girl with braids
and a skirt in the middle of Tel Aviv.
I wasn't sweet at all.
I had short hair.
-You didn't!
Yes and lice,
so I had short hair until ninth grade.
Driver, stop here.
Oh... hello.
What's happening?
Welcome.
Come in, come in.
Hello.
Hodaya.
-I've heard a lot about you.
You're religious.
-From birth.
I thought you cut loose
from your religious friends.
Yeah, he's on the verge
of becoming unreligious.
You wish.
Are you thirsty, hungry, anything?
No, we're fine.
All we need is a shower
and everything's perfect.
The sleeping arrangements
are as follows:
We're going to sleep in my room
and Hodaya will sleep on the couch.
Are you serious, bro?
-As serious as the Torah.
OK, I'll rinse the sand off of myself.
Sorry.
Don't be, I understand completely.
OK, I'll get you some bedding.
Thank you.
-My pleasure.
So, you separate?
Between sacred and secular books.
Actually, it's something new.
It suddenly seemed strange
to have Grossman, Agatha Christie,
Rabbi Soloveitchik and the Baba Kama
mixed together on the shelf, so...
-What changed?
I moved to Tel Aviv.
I needed to define things.
I'm sorry that I'm
separating you and Assaf.
Assaf took it hard.
Assaf should thank you for
letting him sleep here so much.
Nonsense, it's temporary.
I don't think it's temporary.
He isn't taking the apartment
on Congress Street?
What?
-The apartment near the Central Station.
Were there problems
with the landlord or...
I don't think so.
I don't know.
Sorry.
For what?
-He didn't tell you he's moving.
No big deal.
What's happening?
Is everything OK? -Yeah.
-Everything's perfect.
Got a towel?
-Yeah.
That was a long staff meeting.
Yeah.
Wow, ice cream.
What are we celebrating?
Not celebrating, apologizing.
Apologizing for what?
For behaving like a bank clerk.
You're right, we're always saving,
we're allowed to pamper ourselves.
You weren't that bad.
-I've thought about it,
we can take a trip, enjoy ourselves,
buy a horse if it's important to you.
We'll do whatever you want.
It's not that important to me.
It isn't?
-No.
The important thing is that
we're together and we're happy.
We don't have to travel for that...
or buy such expensive ice cream.
Are you saying it for me?
To pacify me?
No. I really think so.
Sweetie, you're the best.
You'll see, we'll have a ball here
without spending much
and the money will lie in
our account for a rainy day.
Really.
Go for it!
Wow, what a scent.
Not bad, huh?
Just for watching
a movie with us?
What movie?
Roi is picking some De Funes film
at the library for you.
We didn't talk about
watching a movie this evening.
Would you rather go out?
We could go out.
Sorry, I...
I didn't tell you,
I'm busy tonight.
Really? What?
Dinner...
With friends.
-That's nice.
OK then, bye.
Would you like me to stay with you?
-No, of course not.
Have a good time.
We'll watch a movie tomorrow.
We'll go to the movies,
tickets on me. -OK.
See you.
-Bye. Enjoy.
"Why don't you stick 10 pins
to keep your pants up?"
Is this De Funes guy
supposed to be funny?
If you had told me
while I was at the video library
I would've brought something else.
Isn't there a game on or something?
-Nothing.
Is it OK if I go to Reut?
Didn't you meet this afternoon?
Of course it's OK.
Dismissed.
Thanks.
Send my regards.
"We came to talk to you
about marriage, Father."
He's gone.
We can do whatever we want.
He doesn't deserve to be lied to.
What he doesn't know
won't hurt him.
You live in Jerusalem and
work in Tel Aviv, right? -So?
You'll have to be here quite a bit.
You ought to consider his feelings.
What's with you?
Did you have a bad dream?
There was noise
from the street all night.
I don't know why anybody
would want to live in this city.
How many reasons do you want?
I have to brush my teeth.
-Hold on...
Wash the night off, I'm sure the
rest of the day will be much better.
We'll drink coffee for two hours
and look for celebs on the street.
There are some great used book stores
on Allenby Street.
I like used book stores.
I know.
Varna, not Verona.
Varna.
It's a Bulgarian summer resort.
Anyway, she came back less rested
than before she left.
It's full of pot-bellied men
with hair on their back
wearing Speedos.
Say, is this Chinese food again?
-How did you know?
The smell.
Should we say something?
I know it's a contribution, but still,
Chinese food two weeks in a row?
It's OK, that's what they have left over.
What?
- Something's wrong with the bumper.
It looks OK to me.
That's the problem,
it looks brand new.
I don't understand.
There was a dent right here.
And where are all the stickers?
It didn't fix itself.
What are the options?
Amir surprised you.
And he didn't say anything?
That doesn't make sense.
Amir banged up the car
and said nothing?
He had better not.
The car smells so nice.
Oh, you hung up a new deodorizer.
No.
"Abu Ramzi Garage".
Hello.
My husband was there yesterday,
with a red 1989 Subaru...
We think he forgot his wallet.
He didn't tell you
he banged up the car, huh?
What? What are you talking about?
-Lady...
I get a call like this
at least once a week.
So... did you find a wallet?
There was no wallet
in the Subaru.
Is that all, lady?
-Yes, thank you.
Hold on,
as long as we're talking,
tell me, theoretically, how much does
it cost to fix a dented Subaru trunk?
What's tattooed on your hand?
-It's a secret.
Even my boyfriend doesn't know.
-Really?
Why?
Because it's only mine.
This belongs to both of us.
-Oh.
Nice.
Bye.
-Bye.
It's the middle of the day,and
everybody's sitting in cafes.
Don't people work in this city?
-They work in cafes.
Doing what exactly?
They're screenplay writers, composers,
restaurant reviewers.
Everybody lives in Tel Aviv.
-Or is dying to live here.
I don't think that somebody
who waits in a restaurant
can afford the rent here.
It's not that expensive,
not more than Jerusalem.
How do you know?
-It's a known fact.
Did you look for an apartment here?
-No.
Yair told me.
Hi there.
How was school?
-As usual.
What?
You tell me.
Nothing.
Everything was usual.
Listen, about the money...
I thought about it some more
and actually I feel like
having some fun with it.
Yeah? -Yes. We didn't go anywhere
after the wedding. -Right.
So why don't we take advantage of the
opportunity and go away for a week?
OK.
Abroad?
What's changed?
-I don't know, I changed my mind.
Don't you want to anymore?
-No, I want to.
Of course I do,
unless you're doing it for me
and in that case,
it really isn't necessary.
I'm doing it for both of us.
Abroad or here? I don't know,
Going abroad is more expensive.
No, no... Going abroad is fine.
Why not?
Great. How about Varna?
Reut said it's beautiful.
Verona.
-No, Varna, in Bulgaria.
Varna.
Why not?
Great, why don't we sit down
and look for a hotel?
Yes, sure, in a minute.
-Why, where are you going?
I'll be right back,
I forgot something.
There you go.
Thanks, Nati, I'll return it ASAP.
-I know, relax.
Now I can relax.
Why don't you tell Yifat?
All you did was bang up the car.
Go up north for three days,
stay at a guesthouse,
take a modest vacation.
She really wants to go abroad.
-I hope it doesn't blow up in your face.
Thanks to you, it won't.
Thanks, dude.
You want to drink something?
Have a cookie?
Cookies? Since when
do you have cookies?
Since my Dad's here.
Where is he?
He went to buy some shelves.
He decided that
I have to have shelves.
He's going crazy
without my mom.
It's understandable.
-Yeah.
Sit, sit down.
I feel sorry for him.
He's alone all the time.
Lucky I'm not on duty.
It turned out for the best.
It's important for
someone to be with him.
He was with my mother for 35 years.
He was never alone.
He can't even make an omelet.
Do you have to go?
I have to settle this thing with Yifat.
Go on, you homebody.
-Thanks, Nati.
Vegetarian maki,
inside-out shrimps.
Enjoy your food.
-Thank you.
Why don't you try it once?
I don't eat shrimps.
-Take a small bite.
C'mon, a tiny bite.
Get off my back,
you're being obsessive.
OK, so you don't eat creepy crawlies.
-Not that kind.
It's crowded and cafes
are full of loafers
and you can't think of
a single reason to live in this city.
So I guess you don't want to move
to Tel Aviv with me.
What?
I thought of asking you
to move in with me, but...
What's so funny?
I thought you were moving to Tel Aviv
and you didn't want to tell me.
Is that why you've been
making faces all morning?
Yair said you're looking for an apartment
and you didn't say word
so I thought... -What a moron.
-No, you're the moron.
Why did you start looking
without saying anything?
I wanted to surprise you.
You did.
Will you move in with me?
I'll think about it.
In our new apartment...
I want a fur toilet-seat cover.
No problem, we'll cover
anything you want with fur.
Striped. -Striped.
Classy.
We'll get identical tattoos?
-Also striped.
I'm serious.
What do you mean, "serious"?
I feel like getting a tattoo.
Will you do it with me?
You feel like killing your father
in the prime of his life,
that's what you feel like doing.
You're crazy.
Are you sleeping
Come, I'll take you to bed.
-Not yet.
Dad?
Hush...
Go back to sleep.
What time is it?
8:30.
Where are you going?
I'm going for a walk.
-Wait, I'll come with you.
That's OK,
go back to sleep.
I slept enough.
It won't hurt me to get a little exercise.
Nati.
I'm going by myself.
-OK.
We'll have lunch together, OK?
You're going out like that?
Wearing a tie?
See you later.
Wait a minute.
Yes.
Dad, you don't have to knock.
I thought of waiting a little longer,
check things out
before I talk to you.
I met a woman.
Vera.
A lovely woman,
she lives in Jerusalem.
I met her on a tour.
We started talking.
I understand.
Have a ball.
We can drive to Balchik too,
it's a half an hour north of Varna.
It says here, "The place is
adorned with natural cliffs
"climbing to a height of 60 meters
above sea level made of red stone.
"According to local folklore,
"40 maidens tied their braids
to each other
"and jumped together to their death
"to avoid being raped
by the Turkish army."
I can't believe
you're continuing with this.
With what?
What?
-What do you mean, "what"?
How exactly are we going to Varna
if all our money is at
Abu Ramzi & Sons garage?
How long have you known?
What difference does it make?
-It makes a difference. How long?
Since yesterday.
-You've known about the car
since yesterday and
you've let me squirm?
I can't believe it,
you're acting like some "effendi",
just to avoid telling me
that you banged up the car?
Am I that scary?
If you can't talk to me,
what does that say about us?
Now you're quiet?
Great.
At least you've stopped lying.
I'm starting.
Don't move.
Hi. -Hey.
Am I late?
-A little, it's OK.
Wow, I've been itching all day.
See what I have there.
What do you say?
-Wow.
I knew exactly what I wanted.
Nice, isn't it?
It's very nice, amazing.
Would you like something to drink?
Red wine?
-No, I'll have water.
Me too.
You don't like the bird.
What difference does that make?
Of course it does.
If you don't like it, say so.
I don't like it.
So you'll remove it now?
What's come over you?
-Over me?
I didn't go and tattoo a bird
on my shoulder.
What do you have against birds?
-Nothing,
unless they're
tattooed on your skin.
I want to understand this,
are you against tattoos on principle?
Hodaya, I told you,
my principles are irrelevant.
You're still religious,
that's what you are.
A Tel-Avivian on the outside.
But on the inside,
you're still religious.
Have you decided?
Yifat?
-What?
I banged up the car and it cost
a fortune to fix and...
We can't go abroad now.
Yifat?
I knew
that you banged up the car
and I manipulated you
instead of talking to you.
I took a loan from Nati.
Varna is the most repulsive
place in Europe.
I'm sorry I lied,
I didn't want you to be disappointed.
At least you had good intentions.
We both weren't at our best.
Listen, I gotta hang up,
I don't have money for cell phones.
