Srugim (2008–2012): Season 2, Episode 9 - Episode #2.9 - full transcript
Previously...
Because I'm vomiting
and I'm a bit late, so...
You didn't tell me.
I wanted to surprise you.
Well?
Are you attracted to women?
I can't answer that.
You think we have a chance?
hope so.
What do you say?
-Wow.
What's come over you?
I didn't go and tattoo a bird
on my shoulder.
You're still religious,
that's what you are.
I thought I'd wait a little longer,
check things out
before I talk to you.
I met a woman. Vera.
I understand.
Have a ball.
"Srugim"
Say, did you check the apartment
behind Meir Park?
Yeah, we can see it on Tuesday.
What commentary can there be
on a game that ends 0:0?
Why don't you make us some lunch?
There's no food in the house.
You haven't gone shopping?
No, have you?
No, I'm working.
And I'm looking for a job.
Is "Sakura" OK?
-Third time this week.
You'll get seafood poisoning.
Hello, I'd like to place an order.
Two edamame, vegetarian inside-out,
salmon temaki
and shrimp gyoza.
-And a diet cola.
And a diet cola.
Yes.
34 Harakevet Street.
Thank you.
What is it, Mom?
When?
Where is she?
What's her condition?
Yes, yes, I'm coming.
Right away.
What happened?
My sister was in an accident,
she's in the hospital in Ein Kerem.
I'll go with you.
-No, this isn't a good time for...
for family introductions.
I have to go.
I'm not avoiding you, Dad.
I'm swamped with work.
Ouch!
Damn it! What?
No, I didn't mean that, Dad,
I hurt myself.
No, it has nothing to do with Vera,
I'd love to meet Vera...
it's just difficult this week.
OK, I'll check.
Dad, I'll check. OK.
I have to go. Bye.
OK, Ovadia, pick a card.
-Are you a magician or a clown?
What difference does it make?
Pick a card, c'mon.
Not that one, this one.
Not that one.
Excuse me.
Are you related?
Of course, can't you see
we have the same nose?
Put it over here.
Ouch!
Can you come back later, please?
-No.
I haven't finished my trick yet,
right, Ovadia?
Exactly.
-You have finished.
I have to go.
See you, Ovadia.
How are you, Ovadia?
How's your throat?
-Thank God, fine.
This is my eldest granddaughter, Ya'ara.
She's so quiet, you never know
when she walks in or out of a room.
This is Almog, the little one.
A little devil.
He's so sweet,
you can eat him up.
They're sweet.
-Very sweet.
How many grandchildren do you have?
We don't count.
14, God bless them.
How many kids
do you have at home?
None yet.
Soon, God willing, soon.
-God willing. God willing.
You know, my eldest son's wife
tried for two years... two years,
and nothing happened.
Until she finally listened to me.
Chrysanthemum tea.
Chrysanthemum?
-Yes.
Since then,
four grandchildren in six years.
What, the flower?
-Yeah, those yellow ones.
Tested and tried.
Your health, Mordechai.
Here you go. -How much is it?
-100 grams, eight shekels.
Excuse me...
Do you have any more?
-No, that's the last one.
Do you have any
yellow chrysanthemums for tea?
Chrysanthemums? There are some
across the street for free today.
Here?
-Yes, right across the street, for free.
Thanks.
-You're welcome.
Hi, Assaf.
You didn't call...
I wanted to know
how your sister is doing.
So when you get a minute,
please call and tell me
what's happening.
If you want me to come,
just call or text me
and I'll be there.
Bye.
He was hospitalized yesterday,
he's complaining about a sharp pain...
Excuse me.
Can you stop that noise?
We're working here.
-Leave her alone, she's working too.
In our department?
On a permanent basis?
For a trial period.
Why do we need a clown
in our department?
You know very well why.
Endorphins and lymphocytes.
Let's continue with the patient.
OK, uh...
Mr. Rosenbaum had an
appendix operation six months ago
and is complaining about
sharp pain in the scar area,
mostly while sitting.
An ultrasound scan shows fluid
in the lower right side
of the stomach.
We'll start checking for adhesions
around the intestine, OK?
And go from there.
Sweetheart.
Yuck, what is that?
Chrysanthemum tea.
Chrysanthemum tea?
Yes, it's good for fertility.
You drink it.
It's only for women.
-How convenient.
What are you implying?
That since we made a decision
to check if everything is OK,
I'm the one
whose body is being pricked
and prodded with cameras.
And now this?
We have no choice, Yifati.
You know that
we have no choice, right?
You've got some nerve,
you know that?
What do you want me to do?
You know very well
what I want you to do.
Five embarrassing minutes,
that's all.
Five minutes that are
your responsibility, not mine.
It's not as simple as you think.
How surprising.
You know what?
Keep waiting for something
to be wrong with me,
so you won't have to do the test.
Meanwhile, yew drink
your room deodorizer!
Yes, Roi, but I don't understand
what you want from me.
I want to meet Vera
as much as you do.
Fine, Dad said you spoke to him.
You said you'd come? OK.
Tomorrow at "Olive's" at five.
You better be there.
Bye.
Want a jelly snake?
No, thanks.
I didn't offend you earlier, did I?
Not at all.
You were so serious
when you left the room.
Yes, I didn't see anything
funny around.
I see.
Wow, you're so heavy.
Yes, it's my job.
At least I don't have to humiliate myself
for a living.
You think medical clowns
humiliate themselves?
I don't know.
I've only met you.
How are you?
Fine.
Tired.
How's your sister?
She's in the respiratory ICU.
She's still unconscious
but her condition is stable.
Do they know what happened?
A truck driver swerved from
his lane and hit her.
Everything happens to that girl.
I never broke a finger and she's
in the ER all her life.
I don't understand it.
We can't understand
how these things work.
"C'est la vie."
-"La vie" sucks.
I'm going to take a shower
and go back.
I'll spend the night with her.
I'll come with you.
-It's silly, we both won't get any sleep.
Is there a clean towel?
-In the closet, no?
I know it's not relevant right now,
the landlord from
the apartment on Rupin Street, called
he said we can see it
Tuesday morning.
Forget it, Hodaya,
my head's not in it right now.
Sorry, you're right.
I'm sorry.
Say...
Do you still want to
live with me in Tel Aviv?
Of course.
Because it doesn't
seem that way.
Do me a favor, Hodaya,
this isn't the time
for a "Where's this relationship
heading" conversation, OK?
Sorry, I apologize.
Want me to make you a sandwich?
There's the take-away.
No, I'm not hungry.
Hi. -Hi.
Promise me that you'll come eat
with Vera and Dad tomorrow.
God willing.
Is this an ambush? -Don't say,
"God willing." Promise me.
I can't promise you 100 percent, OK?
Roi, we both arranged it with Dad?
You agreed? Good night.
I can't bear seeing him
with another woman.
I don't give that shit
"you can't bear it."
You'll come,
have a steak and be nice.
Enough, Roi, I don't have the energy
for your sensitivities.
You're not leaving me
alone with them.
Damn
Bye, Yifati, I'm going.
-Bye.
I've decided..
I'm going.
Great, have a nice day.
I'm going to do it
-It?
It, you know.
Oh.
Great.
You want the car?
-No.
Are you going with Nati?
-No!
OK, bye.
Bye, good luck, sweetie.
-Bye, I gotta go. -OK.
No!
Is she...?
-No.
Her condition
hasn't changed at all.
You're nuts, you know? From the look
on your face, I thought she died.
Should I make you some?
I only wanted a sip.
You must be terribly worried, huh?
-Terribly.
Assaf still doesn't want me
to go with him.
I think he doesn't want me
around him at all, in general.
Is that what's worrying you?
I asked him twice if
he wants me to be with him,
and twice he said "no".
He doesn't want me to meet
his family. I don't know.
Maybe he doesn't want us
to move in together.
OK...
This time you've
really outdone yourself.
What?
-His sister is in the hospital!
He must be worried sick.
You think he's got room
for your hang-ups?
Maybe you should
be there for him?
I'm a jerk, huh?
Indeed.
You're the best.
And how are you, Yifati?
Fine, nothing to write home about.
I only had one ripe follicle this month,
I don t think ifs anything.
What, you're late?
Yes, one day, it's no reason
to take a pregnancy test.
Thanks for being interested,
really, you're a good friend.
Hey.
-Hey.
How is she?
-The same.
How are you?
This isn't a good time.
Sorry.
My mother doesn't like
to interrupt the prayers, so...
OK, I understand.
Should I get you something
to drink from the cafeteria?
It's not necessary,
we just had coffee. -OK.
8o I'll get myself something
and come back, OK?
Why don't you wait for me
in the cafeteria?
OK?
We'll geta bite to eat?
OK.
-Great.
What's the matter, Ovadia?
You're all tangled up?
Let me help you.
Ouch!
Enough already!
I think I can help.
Don't you have make
someone latrgh?
What do you have against me?
-Nothing.
As long as you don't get in my way,
everything's OK.
Let me.
-Thank you.
There you go.
Just a second.
The men's room is on the left.
What? -Sorry, we don't have
a separate room for that.
You'll have to manage in the
men's room or do it at home
and return the specimen
within an hour.
OK, thanks.
The men's room is on the left?
Thanks.
Mr. Amir!
Tehila.
How are you? What are you
doing here? Is your wife here?
I didn't know you were doing
your national service here.
I wanted to teach in a field school.
It turned out foij the best,
I'm very happy here,
especially since
I've been in this department.
Sometimes they let me do things
in the neonatal unit.
Remember Hila Fried?
-Yes, sure.
She was ^ssigned
to geriatrics, poor girl.
It's very tough there. Sometimes
she considers chucking it all.
So I'm really lucky.
-Great. I'm glad.
Did you hear that Tiferet Sharabi
got engaged?
No. Congratulations.
-Wow, it's so nice seeing you, sir.
So, where's your wife,
I'll give her special treatment.
My wife is at home...
Then..,, what are you doing
in our ward?
I must've gotten off
on the wrong floor.
Where are you going?
I'm an expert around here.
A friend of mine had...
gall bladder surgery.
So, why the cup?
This? It's nothing,
I found it in the elevator,
it must've fallen off one of the wagons,
I'm returning it.
You don't return those things,
it's probably contaminated.
Just throw it away.
Give it to me, I'll throw it away.
-It's OK, I'll give it back.
I mean, I'll throw it away.
The girls will go nuts
when I tell them I met you.
Great. Send my regards.
OK.
See you.
Hodaya?
-What are you doing here?
Assaf's sister was injured
in a road accident
and the whole family
is sitting in the IC unit.
I'm sorry to hear.
You're sitting with the family?
Am I in the ICU?
Assaf has to meet me
in your secret cafeteria,
which I've been looking for
the past 15 minutes.
I thought I saw Assaf here yesterday.
Praying the afternoon prayer.
It made no sense
so I didn't even say hello.
No, it doesn't make any sense.
C'mon, I'll show you
the cafeteria.
If it's any comfort,
you could have been much worse off.
Really? -Yes, you could have been
on your way to lunch
with your father
and his new girlfriend
four months after
your mother passed away.
You win.
Amir?
What's going on here today?
Come on out,
we're having a class reunion.
Why the long face?
What fe'ce?
I hate hospitals.
What are you doing here?
I have a friend...
wfth a gall I bladder.
He has a gall bladder?
That's a rare medical problem
that requires immediate treatment.
Why donl you both
have some coffee with me?
I've got to pass the time
until Assaf comes.
How's h'is sister?
She still in intensive care.
Find out her full name,
we'll pray for her.
They're playing already, thanks.
-OK.
I have to go.
-It's weird to have you both here.
Are you throwing me
a belated birthday party?
Some kind of surprise?
-Right.
Congratulations.
See you.
He's probably in a- hdrry to visit
a friend with a spleen.
C'mon, I'll show you
the way to the cafeteria.
Hey, you're back fast.
How was it?
I'd rather not talk about it.
That bad?
It wasn't fun.
When do you get the results?
I don't know.
OK. Did you ask them
to e-mail the results
or do you have to pick them up?
-No, I didn't.
What?
-I didn't ask anything.
OK. It's over.
You did it once,
you don't have to go back again.
Want some tea?
If you feel uncomfortable,
I can call for the results.
No, it's OK.
I'll call.
"Hi, I can't answer right now,
leave a message."
Shit!
Good afternoon.
-Oh, here's Nati.
Roi isn't here?
He phoned'
that he won't be coming.
You haven't introduced me.
Nati, my eldest son.
Vera.
It's nice to meet you, cherie.
Ouch!
Such energy.
OK, shall we order?
Yes.
A staff meeting now?
It's about the matriculation exams.
Sorry, I forgot all about it.
But I'll be back in an hour or two.
OK. Could you take a look at the lamp
in the work area before you go?
When I come back.
By the time you get back it'll be dark
and I really need light here.
Can't you fix the light
and then go?
OK.
I'll hold your bag.
I thought the bulb was burnt out,
but I changed it, and it didn't help.
Turn the light on.
I don't see any problem.
You hardly looked.
Maybe there's a problem
with the contacts?
We'll call an electrician tomorrow.
I'm late.
OK?
Bye.
So Vera...
Have you been a widow
for many years or like Dad...?
Dear God, I'm not a widow,
I'm divorced. Twice.
I'm not like you.
I wasn't... how do you say?
Choazy.
-Choosy.
My father told you'that I'm choosy.
He doesn't have to say it.
You're not a child.
You're a doctor and handsome,
handsome like your father,
and there is no woman.
So?
Shit!
Nati!
-Sorry, I apologize.
Let me, darling.
He has too much energy inside.
Too much,
until it explodes.
You have too much in your heart
and you don't let it out.
You have to let it out,
the electricity will stop
and everything will be alright.
It must be difficult after
your mother passed away.
Who are you to tell me what I am?
-Nati. -She doesn't know me at all.
Who is she to tell me what I am,
what I have inside
or what I don't have inside?
You managed to put your
wrinkled hands on my father,
but get them off of me.
And don't you dare talk about
my mother in my presence.
Nati.
Nati!
Nati.
Nati!
-What?
I was here first, so officially,
you're in my way.
Sorry, I didn't recognize you.
I really overreacted earlier.
You don't deserve such treatment.
Very true.
You know, you look pretty
without the wig and nose and...
all that war paint.
Thanks.
-Did I say something wrong?
Stay a while, please. -No, thanks.
-I want to apologize.
I'm not that interested
in your apologies.
Listen, I had a terrible day.
I just want to apologize.
I promise I'll feel bad afterwards.
OK?
I was a jerk today.
I made an effort to hurt you.
I'm sorry I succeeded.
To my credit, I can say that I suffer
from a very serious case
of a broomstick stuck...
you know where.
Yes, actually, everyone knows where,
it's very hard to miss.
It hurts me more, believe me.
OK, are you finished? May I go?
-Yeah. -OK.
By the way, change your shoes
and you'll stop getting these shocks.
Really?
-Really.
All the best.
Hey, what time is it?
My sister woke up.
Really?
That's great.
Why didn't you call me?
-My battery's been dead for two days.
I was sitting next to her.
I was rattling on,
I have no idea what about,
suddenly she opened her eyes,
and asked for my mother.
I had to call everyone.
At least it was good news.
I thought your battery was dead.
Yes.
I called from the nurses' desk.
What's the matter?
You let me wait
for ages in the cafeteria yesterday.
I was hoping you didn't wait long.
Hodaya, don't bum me out.
My sister woke up,
it's a damn miracle.
That's no way for a boy
wearing a yarmulke to talk.
I forgot it was there.
I'm glad your sister is awake,
really.
It is a miracle.
I'm glad it happened.
God got it right, huh?
God.
I'm dead tired.
Are you listening?
Motility: Good.
Liquefaction: Normal.
That means the test is OK.
-Just OK?
Listen to this.
Concentration: 75x106.
That's 75 million.
Concentrated.
Concentrated is good, right?
I have no idea.
We'll have 17 kids.
What?
17.
The children of a grammar teacher
or not?
They sure are.
We have to celebrate.
You, me and our 75 million
potential children.
Did the light just go on?
It looks like it.
You were right,
It was the contacts.
Everything will be fine, Yifati.
I can feel it.
Everything will be alright.
C'mon, let's celebrate.
I'm really glad that
you're so fertile,
but before we start celebrating,
can we finish cleaning the house?
Yes, we certainly can.
-Great, so take down the garbage.
No problem.
Because I'm vomiting
and I'm a bit late, so...
You didn't tell me.
I wanted to surprise you.
Well?
Are you attracted to women?
I can't answer that.
You think we have a chance?
hope so.
What do you say?
-Wow.
What's come over you?
I didn't go and tattoo a bird

You're still religious,
that's what you are.
I thought I'd wait a little longer,

I met a woman. Vera.

I'm sorry.
Say...
Do you still want to
live with me in Tel Aviv?
Of course.
Because it doesn't
seem that way.
Do me a favor, Hodaya,
this isn't the time
for a "Where's this relationship
heading" conversation, OK?
Sorry, I apologize.
Want me to make you a sandwich?
There's the take-away.
No, I'm not hungry.
Hi. -Hi.
Promise me that you'll come eat
with Vera and Dad tomorrow.
God willing.
Is this an ambush? -Don't say,
"God willing." Promise me.
I can't promise you 100 percent, OK?
Roi, we both arranged it with Dad?
You agreed? Good night.
I can't bear seeing him
with another woman.
I don't give that shit
"you can't bear it."
You'll come,
have a steak and be nice.
Enough, Roi, I don't have the energy
for your sensitivities.
You're not leaving me
alone with them.
Damn
Bye, Yifati, I'm going.
-Bye.
I've decided..
I'm going.
Great, have a nice day.
I'm going to do it
-It?
It, you know.
Oh.
Great.
You want the car?
-No.
Are you going with Nati?
-No!
OK, bye.
Bye, good luck, sweetie.
-Bye, I gotta go. -OK.
No!
Is she...?
-No.
Her condition
hasn't changed at all.
You're nuts, you know? From the look
on your face, I thought she died.
Should I make you some?
I only wanted a sip.
You must be terribly worried, huh?
-Terribly.
Assaf still doesn't want me
to go with him.
I think he doesn't want me
around him at all, in general.
Is that what's worrying you?
I asked him twice if
he wants me to be with him,
and twice he said "no".
He doesn't want me to meet
his family. I don't know.
Maybe he doesn't want us
to move in together.
OK...
This time you've
really outdone yourself.
What?
-His sister is in the hospital!
He must be worried sick.
You think he's got room
for your hang-ups?
Maybe you should
be there for him?
I'm a jerk, huh?
Indeed.
You're the best.
And how are you, Yifati?
Fine, nothing to write home about.
I only had one ripe follicle this month,
I don t think ifs anything.
What, you're late?
Yes, one day, it's no reason
to take a pregnancy test.
Thanks for being interested,
really, you're a good friend.
Hey.
-Hey.
How is she?
-The same.
How are you?
This isn't a good time.
Sorry.
My mother doesn't like
to interrupt the prayers, so...
OK, I understand.
Should I get you something
to drink from the cafeteria?
It's not necessary,
we just had coffee. -OK.
8o I'll get myself something
and come back, OK?
Why don't you wait for me
in the cafeteria?
OK?
We'll geta bite to eat?
OK.
-Great.
What's the matter, Ovadia?
You're all tangled up?
Let me help you.
Ouch!
Enough already!
I think I can help.
Don't you have make
someone latrgh?
What do you have against me?
-Nothing.
As long as you don't get in my way,
everything's OK.
Let me.
-Thank you.
There you go.
Just a second.
The men's room is on the left.
What? -Sorry, we don't have
a separate room for that.
You'll have to manage in the
men's room or do it at home
and return the specimen
within an hour.
OK, thanks.
The men's room is on the left?
Thanks.
Mr. Amir!
Tehila.
How are you? What are you
doing here? Is your wife here?
I didn't know you were doing
your national service here.
I wanted to teach in a field school.
It turned out foij the best,
I'm very happy here,
especially since
I've been in this department.
Sometimes they let me do things
in the neonatal unit.
Remember Hila Fried?
-Yes, sure.
She was ^ssigned
to geriatrics, poor girl.
It's very tough there. Sometimes
she considers chucking it all.
So I'm really lucky.
-Great. I'm glad.
Did you hear that Tiferet Sharabi
got engaged?
No. Congratulations.
-Wow, it's so nice seeing you, sir.
So, where's your wife,
I'll give her special treatment.
My wife is at home...
Then..,, what are you doing
in our ward?
I must've gotten off
on the wrong floor.
Where are you going?
I'm an expert around here.
A friend of mine had...
gall bladder surgery.
So, why the cup?
This? It's nothing,
I found it in the elevator,
it must've fallen off one of the wagons,
I'm returning it.
You don't return those things,
it's probably contaminated.
Just throw it away.
Give it to me, I'll throw it away.
-It's OK, I'll give it back.
I mean, I'll throw it away.
The girls will go nuts
when I tell them I met you.
Great. Send my regards.
OK.
See you.
Hodaya?
-What are you doing here?
Assaf's sister was injured
in a road accident
and the whole family
is sitting in the IC unit.
I'm sorry to hear.
You're sitting with the family?
Am I in the ICU?
Assaf has to meet me
in your secret cafeteria,
which I've been looking for
the past 15 minutes.
I thought I saw Assaf here yesterday.
Praying the afternoon prayer.
It made no sense
so I didn't even say hello.
No, it doesn't make any sense.
C'mon, I'll show you
the cafeteria.
If it's any comfort,
you could have been much worse off.
Really? -Yes, you could have been
on your way to lunch
with your father
and his new girlfriend
four months after
your mother passed away.
You win.
Amir?
What's going on here today?
Come on out,
we're having a class reunion.
Why the long face?
What fe'ce?
I hate hospitals.
What are you doing here?
I have a friend...
wfth a gall I bladder.
He has a gall bladder?
That's a rare medical problem
that requires immediate treatment.
Why donl you both
have some coffee with me?
I've got to pass the time
until Assaf comes.
How's h'is sister?
She still in intensive care.
Find out her full name,
we'll pray for her.
They're playing already, thanks.
-OK.
I have to go.
-It's weird to have you both here.
Are you throwing me
a belated birthday party?
Some kind of surprise?
-Right.
Congratulations.
See you.
He's probably in a- hdrry to visit
a friend with a spleen.
C'mon, I'll show you
the way to the cafeteria.
Hey, you're back fast.
How was it?
I'd rather not talk about it.
That bad?
It wasn't fun.
When do you get the results?
I don't know.
OK. Did you ask them
to e-mail the results
or do you have to pick them up?
-No, I didn't.
What?
-I didn't ask anything.
OK. It's over.
You did it once,
you don't have to go back again.
Want some tea?
If you feel uncomfortable,
I can call for the results.
No, it's OK.
I'll call.
"Hi, I can't answer right now,
leave a message."
Shit!
Good afternoon.
-Oh, here's Nati.
Roi isn't here?
He phoned'
that he won't be coming.
You haven't introduced me.
Nati, my eldest son.
Vera.
It's nice to meet you, cherie.
Ouch!
Such energy.
OK, shall we order?
Yes.
A staff meeting now?
It's about the matriculation exams.
Sorry, I forgot all about it.
But I'll be back in an hour or two.
OK. Could you take a look at the lamp
in the work area before you go?
When I come back.
By the time you get back it'll be dark
and I really need light here.
Can't you fix the light
and then go?
OK.
I'll hold your bag.
I thought the bulb was burnt out,
but I changed it, and it didn't help.
Turn the light on.
I don't see any problem.
You hardly looked.
Maybe there's a problem
with the contacts?
We'll call an electrician tomorrow.
I'm late.
OK?
Bye.
So Vera...
Have you been a widow
for many years or like Dad...?
Dear God, I'm not a widow,
I'm divorced. Twice.
I'm not like you.
I wasn't... how do you say?
Choazy.
-Choosy.
My father told you'that I'm choosy.
He doesn't have to say it.
You're not a child.
You're a doctor and handsome,
handsome like your father,
and there is no woman.
So?
Shit!
Nati!
-Sorry, I apologize.
Let me, darling.
He has too much energy inside.
Too much,
until it explodes.
You have too much in your heart
and you don't let it out.
You have to let it out,
the electricity will stop
and everything will be alright.
It must be difficult after
your mother passed away.
Who are you to tell me what I am?
-Nati. -She doesn't know me at all.
Who is she to tell me what I am,
what I have inside
or what I don't have inside?
You managed to put your
wrinkled hands on my father,
but get them off of me.
And don't you dare talk about
my mother in my presence.
Nati.
Nati!
Nati.
Nati!
-What?
I was here first, so officially,
you're in my way.
Sorry, I didn't recognize you.
I really overreacted earlier.
You don't deserve such treatment.
Very true.
You know, you look pretty
without the wig and nose and...
all that war paint.
Thanks.
-Did I say something wrong?
Stay a while, please. -No, thanks.
-I want to apologize.
I'm not that interested
in your apologies.
Listen, I had a terrible day.
I just want to apologize.
I promise I'll feel bad afterwards.
OK?
I was a jerk today.
I made an effort to hurt you.
I'm sorry I succeeded.
To my credit, I can say that I suffer
from a very serious case
of a broomstick stuck...
you know where.
Yes, actually, everyone knows where,
it's very hard to miss.
It hurts me more, believe me.
OK, are you finished? May I go?
-Yeah. -OK.
By the way, change your shoes
and you'll stop getting these shocks.
Really?
-Really.
All the best.
Hey, what time is it?
My sister woke up.
Really?
That's great.
Why didn't you call me?
-My battery's been dead for two days.
I was sitting next to her.
I was rattling on,
I have no idea what about,
suddenly she opened her eyes,
and asked for my mother.
I had to call everyone.
At least it was good news.
I thought your battery was dead.
Yes.
I called from the nurses' desk.
What's the matter?
You let me wait
for ages in the cafeteria yesterday.
I was hoping you didn't wait long.
Hodaya, don't bum me out.
My sister woke up,
it's a damn miracle.
That's no way for a boy
wearing a yarmulke to talk.
I forgot it was there.
I'm glad your sister is awake,
really.
It is a miracle.
I'm glad it happened.
God got it right, huh?
God.
I'm dead tired.
Are you listening?
Motility: Good.
Liquefaction: Normal.
That means the test is OK.
-Just OK?
Listen to this.
Concentration: 75x106.
That's 75 million.
Concentrated.
Concentrated is good, right?
I have no idea.
We'll have 17 kids.
What?
17.
The children of a grammar teacher
or not?
They sure are.
We have to celebrate.
You, me and our 75 million
potential children.
Did the light just go on?
It looks like it.
You were right,
It was the contacts.
Everything will be fine, Yifati.
I can feel it.
Everything will be alright.
C'mon, let's celebrate.
I'm really glad that
you're so fertile,
but before we start celebrating,
can we finish cleaning the house?
Yes, we certainly can.
-Great, so take down the garbage.
No problem.
