Srugim (2008–2012): Season 3, Episode 5 - Episode #3.5 - full transcript

Look at this dress, Feyge,
I want one just like it.

A lot of it
is thanks to Yifat's styling.

Yes, I'm considering
tempting your graphic designer

to come work for us.
-Don't make me laugh.

What?
-Are you here because of him?

Who? -Azaria.
- What are you talking about?

How are you, Reut?
-Fine, how are you?

Do you happen to like poetry?

It's OK,
this way we'll be at the wedding.

What wedding?
-Yours, what do you mean?

Did you forget you're getting married?
-I didn't forget, I just...



I wasn't thinking about it just now,
that's all.

Tehila.

Are you really here
for the Torah ark curtain,

or are you hitting on me?
-I'm here because of you.

I've been waiting for this
from the moment I saw you.

I can't. I made a vow.

That I'm not going to see anyone
until Azaria moves on.

I realized that the fact that you're
different could be very good.

She's amazing.
She's an accountant.

In short, she's perfect for you.

Let me put it this way,
I'm not interested in her,

but if you're sure
she's so amazing, you marry her.

"Srugim"

Dr. Brenner,
where have you been?



I've been waiting for you
since 10:00.

Patience pays off,
Mrs. Schwartzman.

Are those my test results?
-Yes. I've got very good news.

Just a second.

Yes, Reut.
Make it short.

Have you
spoken to Azaria yet?

No, I haven't

Oh, because 3 days ago
you said...

Yes, I know I did...

but apparently
my initial intuition

that you're not right for each other...
-You're some piece of work.

You convinced me
and you haven't even spoken to him?

Reut, believe me,
I'm saving you a lot of heartache.

What heartache?
Just ask him.

At worst, it won't work out,
but you didn't even talk to him?

Don't take it so hard, lighten up.
-Lighten up?

You showed up
at.the poets' evening to see me,

you were sure we were made for
one another and now we're not?

Yes.
You're not right for each other.

Reut, I'm sorry,
I'm with a patient, OK? Bye.

OK. Echocardiogram - normal.
ECG - normal,

blood sugar - normal.

You think you're ready t® g® h®me,
Mrs. Schwartzman?

How's your girl?

Fine, she's fine. -You don't fool me,
I can see you're suffering.

I'm an expert in matters of the heart.
You can tell me.

No, it's not necessary.
-What do you care?

You're releasing me anyway.
As of tomorrow,

I'll be home all alone.

OK. She vowed
not to go out with anyone

until her fiancé,
whom she deserted,

finds someone else.
Can you help me?

It's a wonderful test to see
if you have patience to wait for her.

Is she worth waiting for?

Yes, Tzila.
She's worth waiting for.

Hello, Dr. Brenner.
-Hello.

Hold on, Haim, how are you?
-How are you? Thank you.

I heard Dr. Schneider's locker
is becoming available.

Yes, he's leaving for Germany.
-I want it.

I think Dr. Bar Tov has seniority...

Dr. Bar Tov arrived
two few days before me.

Tell her you found a dead mouse
in the locker, she'll give it up.

Get me the locker and I'll owe you one.
What do you say?

I'll try.
-Try.

Here you go.
-Thank you.

- Home Pregnancy Test -

That's right, I'm not married.

35 shekels, please.

And I teach in a religious school,
imagine that.

You think it's funny?

No. I'm sorry.

Your change,
15 shekels.

"And Jonathan said to him..."
-"And Jonathan said to him..."

How, long is this going to take?
-50 minutes.

How'much has passed?

"You will be missed."
-"You will be missed."

"Your seat will be empty."

Why don't we throw candies at them now
and get it over with?

How are you?
-So-so, you know.

You were off-key.
-No I wasn't...

That's enough, boys,
let's continue in the synagogue.

How is it different from here?
-It's important that you see a synagogue

from the inside before
your bar mitzvah, right?

Let's go.

You were wonderful, kids.

Does your stomach hurt?
-l$To.

Would you like an aspirin?

It must be a cramped muscle.

I went jogging a few days ago.
-Really?

You're so lucky you can do it,
I'm dying to work out.

Where did you jog?

In my neighborhood.

From Palmach, Tchernichovsky
to Sacher Park,

up to Bezalel and back
through King George Street.

More or less.
-Wow.

I'm gradually increasing the distance.
-Wow.

Next time,
you're taking me along.

You're not allowed to run,
you're pregnant.

I think a power walk is OK.
I'll ask my doctor.

A power walk is OK.

Great.

"Vows"

Behave, OK?

Hi.
-Hi.

Nephews?
-No, students.

Go inside,
I'll be right there.

Put your yarmulkes on.

Are they paying you double?
-One and a half.

A compromise.
-A compromise is always best.

What are you doing here?

Studying.
-Good thing you have the time.

I make time.

We should study together.
-Yes.

OK, I'd better go in.

Say, how versed are you in "Vows"?

I remember some of it.
Why, you have to break a vow?

Not me, a friend.

If he made a vow
and wants to break it

what does he have to do?

If he truly regrets it,
all he has to say is, "I regret."

If he doesn't truly regret it,
he needs to annul it.

Meaning?
-Let's say you vowed...

No, not me.
-Not you, your friend. -Yes.

Let's say he vowed...

Not to eat with a fork and knife.

Is that his vow?
-No, it's just an example.

OK, if you vowed
not to eat with a knife and fork

and you're invited to a dinner party,
will you eat with your hands? -No.

Good. That's a situation where
you have to break your vow,

but you're not sorry that
you made the vow, right?

Because overall, you're still
against using a knife and fork.

You need a reason
to annul the vow. -Yes.

You stand in front of a rabbi,
with two witnesses.

The rabbi asks: "Nati, had you known
that you'd be invited to dinner,

"would you have made the vow?" -No.
-That's your reason to annul it.

So if he doesn't regret the vow,
he needs a rabbi?

No, a Torah scholar
and two witness is enough.

How old are the twins?

You want to break the vow
in front of me and the twins?

I didn't make a vow.

OK.

Hi.
-Hi.

What's happening?
-Everything's fine.

You look a bit upset.
-No, not at all.

Don't you want to see the house?
-I do. Let's go.

Nice place, isn't it?
-Yes.

How do we find it?

This is the living room.

So... are you renting the place?

I wish this house was ours.

How much is he selling it for?
-2.8 million.

Not even in our ball park.

If you'd like another look,
feel free to walk around.

I'll be in the kitchen.
-Thank you.

You didn't tell me
it's 2.8 million.

What did I tell you?
-You said it's a bargain.

It is.

Where will we get 2.8 million?
Are you serious?

Avri?

I have most of the money
and we'll take a small mortgage.

I'm going out with a millionaire
archeologist without knowing it?

Life is full of surprises.

You never behaved
like a millionaire.

I'll explain
when we get out of here.

What do you say?

It's huge.

We'll fill it.

Yeah, right.

If you don't want the house,
just say so.

I will, I just...

I want some time
to think about it, OK? -OK.

Don't let it upset you,
we don't have to buy it.

Cool.

Nice.
Is that all? Nice?

Very nice.

You're a tough customer, Nati.

Either show more enthusiasm
or tell me what you don't like.

On the contrary, I like it very much.
It's really beautiful.

I'll give you a copy. Show it to
your family, think about it at home.

Take your time,
I'm very busy anyway,

I won't get around to it
in the next 3-4 months.

No problem. -God willing, it'll be
ready for the next memorial service.

I thought of a solution for your vow.
-What? I don't understand.

The vow you made.

If you want to break it,
it's much easier than you think.

Nati, I don't want to discuss it,

I shared that with you
so you'd understand.

Just listen to me, OK?
• / v

Had you known that we'd meet
and that your vow would be an obstacle,

would you have made it?
-Say what y®u want to say.

There's a very simple solution
to breaking a vow.

It takes a few minutes,
and you're free.

All you need is three witnesses
and a reason to annul it.

I don't want to break my vow.

I hurt Azaria, terribly,

I have to pay the price
and this is the price I set.

I know that's how you feel,
but Jewish Law

takes care of such situations.
-You don't understand what I'm saying.

I do understand. All you have to do
is ask yourself a simple question.

Had you known that we'd meet,
would you have made the vow?

Yes. I would've made the vow
even if I knew that we'd meet.

Well?

She's not coming?

But he's paying us, right?
-That's not nice.

A hundred each.

Thanks, Amir. Bye.
-Bye.

This is for the lesson.
You owe us 10 shekels, Amir.

OK, I'll give it to you next time.
-We'll remember.

OK.
And don't be late on Thursday.

Thanks, Amir. Bye.
-Bye.

How many rooms are there?
-Six.

I don't like that house.

Does it have a yard?
-Yes, it's a private house.

There's a place for a Jacuzzi
and a barbecue.

I think you should grab it.

I don't have to, Avri does.
-You're a team.

OK.
-If I had the money, I'd grab it.

It's a 250-meter house.
-Yes, and who'll clean it?

Is that what's bothering you?
-Yes.

I don't like the house.

Are you sure you want to get married?
-What's that got to do with it?

I don't like the house,
what's that got to do with the wedding?

OK, forget what I said.

Oh my. This is a bit
too much for you, isn't it?

Yes, let's go back.

How many hills can we climb
in one day?

A 2000-shekel fine, why?
I don't understand!

Interest on what?
You didn't send me anything.

OK, I don't have the money,
what do we do?

- Reut 054-651348-

You know what? Forget it,

I'll talk to my accountant OK?

Thank you.
No problem. Thank you.

Yes?

See how easy that was?

Reut, I'm in the middle ©f my rounds,
what is it?

Azaria called
to ask me out on a date.

Oh, yeah...
I convinced him.

I mean...
He called already? That was quick.

I guess you told him
nice things about me.

What else is t«h©i»e to say?

You're right. Thanks.

Don't mention it.
-Bye. -^ye.

Hi, Nati.

Hey, how are you?
-Fine.

I overdid it.
-Did you say you "overdid it"?

Yes, it's a private matter,
and I got carried away.

You're right,
it was uncalled for.

Is that an apology?
-Definitely.

OK, I forgive you.

What are you doing now?
-Just sitting in my garden.

In your garden?

It's a public one, mine too.
-Yes.

How about you?
-I'm much better now.

It's all for the best.
-Yes.

So, we'll talk?
-Yes.

Great. Bye.

Bye.

Hi.
-Hi.

It's even more beautiful
than I imagined.

Yifati, you don't have to whisper,
she's only the tenant.

If I had 3 million shekels,
I'd move in tomorrow morning.

Say, how does Avri
have all that money?

His mother's grandmother
brought property in Rehovot

in nineteen hundred and something.

Two years ago, some people came
and paid 20 million for it.

It's great to be a millionaire.

I think I'm pregnant.

What? You're what?

I'm a couple of days late.
-You didn't check?

No, I don't have the guts.
I've been walking around

with a kit in my bag for two days,
I don't have the guts.

Why don't you check? -The problem
is that I don't want a baby.

You think you don't want a baby.
C'mon, let's check.

I'm not checking. You don't know
what I want and don't want.

Excuse me,
may we use the bathroom? -Yifat!

Sure. It's on the left.

Yifat, I'm not doing it.

I know you.
You'll only keep postponing it.

It's not my house. -Are you
looking for excuses not to check?

Because if it's there, it'll grow.

What fabulous air.
-Yes.

I think I want the house.

I thought you'd be
at the poets' evening.

Were you disappointed?
-A little.

I wanted to help a young,
unknown poet. -That's legitimate.

There were some
potential poets there.

There were, but...

I came to hear you
and got Hananya Ehrlich.

That's an exceptional case of a person
who chose the wrong profession.

It happens to the best of
-Yes.

On the other hand,
he's a real-estate whiz.

You'd never know
by looking at him.

He's a bored millionaire.

What do you do?
-I'm an accountant.

An accountant is good,
an accountant is great.

Don’t envy me, stay a poet.
-Why?

Let's just say that I'm there
because I'm good at what I do,

like Hananya Ehrlich in real-estate.
-But do you like it a little?

A little?
Yes, sometimes.

It's good that you like it,
otherwise you wouldn't be good at it.

If I have a problem with the IRS,
can you help me?

What did those wicked people do to you?
-I didn't report two lectures that I gave.

Why not? -I forgot.

They gave me
a 2000-shekel fine.

What was your annual income?
-I don't know.

My father writes the invoices
and sends me the money.

OK... bring me the paperwork
when you get a chance.

Lucky for me
I met an accountant.

Lately you don't stop calling.

Did you tell him
that I'm an accountant? -No.

Are you sure?
-We didn't talk about it.

OK.

I might've mentioned it
as a compliment.

What do you mean
"as a compliment"?

I complimented you on being
an accountant, nothing bad.

OK, I get it.
Never mind. Bye.

He's kicking already?

Kicking? He's still tiny.

How was your walk?
-I decided to stop.

What happened? -The hills
in Jerusalem are crazy.

You don't notice it when
you're in a car, but it's unreal.

I don't know
how Hodaya does it.

How is she? -They're buying a house
in Beit Zait, she and Avri.

Almost 3 million.

Avri's family bought property
in the eighteen hundreds in Caesarea,

and now they've sold it
for 30 million.

You don't say.
Hodaya has 30 million shekels?

Do you get it?

There is no justice in this life.

Why? Are you unhappy?

I'd love to live in such a place.
-OK.

I wouldn't move there
even if they paid me.

You have no idea.
The view is amazing.

And it's a stone's throw from Jerusalem.
-It isn't, it's Beit Zait.

Besides, we're used t® Jerusalem,
to our synagogue.

What would we do in Beit Zait?
Who would we meet?

We'd make new friends.

Until we made the ones here,
you want to start over?

Maybe you're right.

But it's beautiful.
-So is Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is the most
beautiful place in the world,

but it's not Beit Zait.

What month are you in?
-Fifth.

Wonderful, congratulations.
-Thank you.

I'll set it on level two,

it's a very slow pace.

Warm up for about two minutes

then I'll raise the speed a bit, OK?
-Fine, thanks.

Bye.
-Bye.

Yifat?

Feyge, how are you?
-Thank God.

Hani, look who's here.

Yifat, Nitzan's graphic designer.

Oh, hello.
-Hello.

I didn't know you exercise here.

You didn't know?
Feyge and I were the first to register.

All the instructors came after we did.

So how are you?
-Everything's great, how are you?

When are you resigning from Nitzan
and coming to work for us?

I didn't know that I was resigning.

Hani, you're scaring her.

I meant,
when is your contract up,

because we pay
3 times as much.

I don't actually have a contract,
I work for her.

What do you say, Feyge?
-Ignore her.

When she walks into a gym
all her systems go berserk.

Are you a member here?
-I have a one-month trial membership.

Good for you.

We're considering replacing
our graphic designer.

Maybe we'll talk soon,
God willing, we'll work something out.

I would've struck a deal with you,

but Feyge likes things
slow and organized.

That's how it is with partners.
-That's business, Hani.

When will you learn?

She doesn't have a clue.

Is he a relative?
-No.

What are you doing with him?
He's a client, what does it matter?

He's certainly not Davidian's client.
Why are you handling this?

He's a personal client.

Have you reported it?

It's pro bono.

I'm not cancelling his fine.

He gave two lectures
which he didn't report.

He forgot.

And he'd continue to forget
if they hadn't caught him.

Look, the annual calculation...

Listen, Reut,
I don't have time for this.

He received a fine,

let him pay the... 2,145 shekels
or else the fine will grow.

Are you doing this to me
deliberately, Shirli?

The guy forgot to report
two lectures.

He's a poet, a space cadet,
he has no idea about these things.

So let him pay and I promise you
he won't forget next time.

OK, is this how you want it?
Fine.

My suggestion, Reut,
get rid of him ASAP.

I know the type,
his sponging won't end here.

I used to date a guy like that,
a manipulative sponger.

If I were you,
I wouldn't spend a cent on him.

You're a sucker.

Take a deep breath.

Hold it.

You can breathe.

You seem to be in a better mood.

Yes, because I see you every morning
and evening, Mrs. Schwartzman.

How's your girl?
-I took your advice.

I'm waiting.
-Very good.

If you want to continue
this conversation, Tzila,

it'll have to be in a cafe,
because you're released.

What about the pressure
in my chest, Dr. Brenner?

You have the heart
of a 20-year-old.

Continue taking the Ramitens
and you'll be alright.

Thank you.
-Ruthie.

Mrs. Schwartzman is free to go.
Have a good day.

What's GMG? -"Gurnisht mit Gurnisht"
(Absolutely nothing).

How are you?
-Fine.

Well, how did it end?

You don't have to pay anything.
-Really?

You're something special, Reut,
really.

I see you're busy,
so... we'll talk. Thanks.

Azaria, the next time you need help
with your accounting, just say so.

We don't have to go out
on a date for that.

Is that what you think it was?

Would you like to see a movie tonight?
-Leave me alone.

I'm asking you out,
I have no motives.

Fine. I'm not interested.
-OK. -OK.

Ignore me,
continue working.

See you.

How are things?
-Fine.

How was your day?
-I was at the house again.

The house in Beit Zait?
-Yes.

Well? Have you decided?
-Yes.

I decided that it's OK
to take the house.

"It's OK to take the house."

You like it,
I suppose I like it too,

I have to get used to the size,
that's all.

What?
-I've thought about it too.

Thought about what?
-Maybe we should wait.

With the wedding and all,
it's a bit too much, isn't it?

I think so too.

I'm making toast.
-I want some too.

"To the beautiful Reut,

"Whose feet are on the ground
and whose head is in the clouds,

"From Azaria,

"Whose head
and feet float in the air."

Your friend...
There's something about her. -What?

She's no sucker, I like that.

Will you see her again?
I think so. -You think so?

I made all the riqht moves,
I think.

All I have to do now is think
of a good opening line.

You've made
a complete turnabout.

You were right.
-I told you so.

You're very perceptive.
If I'm ever sick I'll come to you.

Absolutely.

Hey, I was in the neighborhood.
-Yeah?

Actually...

Yes, I think there's something
you'd like to hear. -What?

Azaria is in love with the girl
he's dating, they're quite serious.

OK, this is starting to bother me, Nati.
-What is?

Your coming here,
pressuring me and calling me.

I thought you'd want to know.
-I don't.

When I want to,
I'll come and ask you.

Stop coming here every day,
it's a bit much.

OK.

I'm sorry. Bye.

Dr. Brenner?

My condolences.
-Excuse me?

Mrs. Schwartzman,
I know how close you were to her.

What happened to Mrs. Schwartzman?
-She passed away.

When? -Yesterday,
on the way home from the hospital,

in the middle of the way.
I thought you knew.

Where are yesterday's files?
-Yesterday's?

They've been processed
and sent to the storeroom.

Why do you process them so quickly?

Nati, what's happening?

The locker is yours.

I want you to know
that it wasn't easy.

I had to describe in detail
to Dr. Bar Tov,

how the dead mouse was crushed
in there.

Enjoy.
