Where Do You Live? (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - Episode #2.5 - full transcript
I wanted to tell you
about when I was in Bukhara...
Do you do events?
How much do you charge?
It was wrong of me
not to tell you, Esti,
but I swear,
nothing happened.
I don't believe a word you say.
Esther, the new intern.
Remind me
what we're celebrating?
That you just ignored
your boyfriend's call.
Will you watch the door for me?
-Sure I will.
Doesn't he know that by us,
if a girl isn't a virgin,
no one will marry her?
Hello.
Molly the intern.
-Yes.
I'm here with my parents,
as is the custom in Bukhara,
to ask for Molly's hand in marriage.
Sleeping over is really bad.
What's so bad about it, Molly?
Cheating is very hard to get over.
If Margo is having a hard time with Bekhor
and wants to get a divorce...
Divorce?
Who said anything about a divorce?
You're not coming home.
Why are you doing this?
You're not ready yet.
Hai, get up.
Hai, Hai, get up.
Your phone keeps ringing,
Hai, Hai, Hai...
Get up.
What are you doing
with my phone?
It's keeps ringing.
You expect me not to answer?
No.
But people want you for shows.
Get up.
Really? -Lots of people called.
-Who?
I wrote everything down.
Here.
Sveta the witch
wants you for
her son's Bar Mitzvah,
and big-eyed Misha
wants you for his grandson's
first hair-cutting ceremony.
And Nina the frog
wants you for a nukhon giron.
What's nukhon giron?
A baby's first nail-cutting ceremony
at the age of 40 days.
That's an event too?
-Of course.
It's a blessing,
it's in the Torah.
Come on, get up.
Mom, did Esti call?
No, my boy, no.
How about I make you
some chai qaimaq cream?
No, I don't want anything,
I don't feel well.
Hai, I thought it over.
I think we should have
a fixed price
and go 50-50,
what do you say?
What?
Okay, 60-40, but get up.
I want to take your pictures
for posters, fliers,
Instagram, Facebook.
And Internet!
My Nozanin...
Dad, close the door.
And knock next time.
Sorry.
Lock the door!
Dummy.
Don't come in here right now.
Good morning.
You didn't go to the studio?
I'm not feeling well.
So like I said,
it's two for the price of one.
Yes, if you have Hai
perform at your event,
you get me,
best photographer in the country.
I'll film your event
from top to bottom,
video, stills, albums,
camera crane, you name it.
Yes. Now you understand.
Thank you.
Mom, are you trying
to make feet soup?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, forgive me.
Make a decision
and give me a call, okay?
Because they're snapping us up
like hot gozhgizha.
Thank you.
And she says sorry to him.
You have a wife at home,
a good wife.
Go to her.
This one's mine.
I'll go, I'll go.
Why didn't you shave?
-Don't worry, I'll go.
What else can I do for you?
Go rest, Mom,
everything's fine now.
-Want some tea?
Tea would be great.
Thank you.
Two for the price of one.
You want him
to end up staying here?
No, no.
You're right.
Mom, can I have some
chai qaimaq instead of tea?
No.
We're out of milk,
but we can go down to get some.
Abo.
Excuse me, is Esti here?
Hi.
-Hi. -Who are you looking for?
Esti Domatov.
Not me?
When will someone come looking for me?
She's not here, she went out.
Where to?
Sorry, we can't give out
any info to delivery boys.
I'm not a delivery boy,
I'm her boyfriend.
So you're Hai?
-Yes.
You turned out to be a real jerk.
So the whole office knows?
No.
-Almost.
Just us and a few other girls.
And associates.
And the cleaning lady.
Fine, everyone knows.
I'm not sure
that'll be enough.
Then could you help me
and tell me where she is?
Fine.
They went clothes shopping.
Clothes shopping during work hours?
Yes, it's a store
that the office works with.
Lawyers have to look presentable
to hide their true nature.
They left ten minutes ago.
They?
Esti and Adir.
Who's Adir?
Adir is the sexy, hot associate here.
Adir.
Thanks.
-You're welcome.
You can leave the chocolate here.
She's on a diet.
Here you go.
-Thanks.
Share them.
Sweetheart.
Sweetheart
Get up.
-What?
I'm not going to work, Mom.
Why not?
-I don't feel well.
You too? Oh no.
We have to get the evil eye
out of this house.
What's wrong, Mommy's darling?
-Mom.
Tell me.
-Everything's fine.
I can tell by your voice
that's not true.
Don't worry,
it's natural for brides to feel that way.
There are nerves, thoughts, concerns,
but then you get married
and, God willing, have kids...
Do you want us to call off the wedding?
Or postpone it?
Mom, stop it!
-Just say the word.
Give me a break
and let me go back to sleep.
Is it about that issue again?
Just forget about it.
I read about it.
After every trauma
there's post-trauma, and it's okay
and you go to work,
all normal, normal, normal.
Now get up,
come to work.
Are you done?
-Yes. -Good.
You're not exactly a psychologist.
-No.
I'm not a psychologist. I...
If you want,
I know a psychologist.
Do you want to
see a psychologist?
Not one of your witches again.
No, no, a doctor.
She has a private clinic.
Is she Bukharian?
-No.
Why, you want a Bukharian?
Not at all.
What's wrong with Bukharians?
Bukharians are the best.
Nowadays everyone
wants to be Bukharian.
Mom!
What?
-Dad?
What?
What's wrong?
As if you don't know.
This gozhgizha is hot on the inside,
cold on the outside.
How am I supposed to eat this?
I'll reheat it.
Daddy's darling,
don't drag this out too long.
Be a man.
You mean, give her hell?
Just the opposite.
Go to her and say:
Margo, my beautiful,
I was an idiot.
Yes.
Say some nice words,
buy her some earrings or rings.
Women like that.
Her mama can say she's sorry!
Who should I say I'm sorry?
What did I do?
Did I go out singing like a ho
every night
at clubs for everyone to see
and talk about us?
No one saw or heard what I did.
Can anyone say anything about me?
She should come here
and say she's sorry.
If she comes,
will you go home?
Maybe.
What do I need her for?
What do I need her for?
What am I lacking for?
I've got everything here.
This place is like a hotel.
Mom, get my sweater from over there
and hand-wash it,
but in warm water,
not in the washing machine.
Look at him.
Please!
What can come out of a jackass?
It's your fault.
-Me?
You were never firm with the kids.
I was both
a mother and a father.
If you keep taking his side,
he'll end up getting a divorce.
Who's getting a divorce?
No one's getting a divorce.
We said "main course."
Molly's getting married,
we need to choose a main course.
Mom, it's boiling hot,
it burned my tongue.
What is Bekhor doing here?
He popped by to eat.
Is his wife dead?
God forbid.
Why would you say that?
He was hungry,
Bekhor likes eating
in different places.
Your husband used to eat around
a lot too.
Bravo, Yaron,
these shirts and pants are dope.
Dope...
Come on,
what's taking you so long?
I don't know, it feels weird.
Not right for courts and hearings.
Yes, but you also have the office,
associate meetings.
Besides, I'm paying,
so come on out.
Whoa.
Wow.
Are you kidding me?
You look the character in that series.
The Good Wife.
I feel strong.
That's good, isn't it?
Not all Bukharians
like their women strong.
Enough with Bukharians.
From now on, you are
Attorney-at-law Esther Domatov.
Objection.
Overruled.
That's it,
you're ready to kick some ass.
Nice.
Having fun?
Hai.
What are you doing here?
I went to see you at the office,
to apologize.
They told me
you were here.
Working.
-Working? I'm not working.
I'm looking for a Torah scroll.
Hai, we're in the middle here,
you're interrupting.
Hi, I'm Adir.
You never bothered
telling me about Adir.
I wanted to spare you
the heartbreak and the concern.
I think I'll leave you too alone
for a while.
Okay, Esther?
-Esther? Who is this clown?
We just work together,
so relax.
Are you trying to get back at me?
Just let go of the whole thing with Dafi.
I don't care about her at all.
Then what are you doing here
with this loser?
Don't talk to me like that,
you hear me?
Why, what'll you do?
Sue me?
Yeah.
I'll find something.
You're dating my girlfriend.
Hai, you're jumping to conclusions
and overreacting.
Overreacting?
I didn't go on any date with Dafi.
No, you just spent three nights
with her overseas.
I didn't spend three nights with her.
And I was super-loyal.
She got stuck with us there.
Esti, why are you
doing this to us?
Listen, this isn't
what you think it is, okay?
We were talking about you
right before you walked in.
Oh, that's why I sneezed
when I walked in.
You listen to me,
Mr. Attorney,
you should be grateful that
I didn't stick this hanger in your eye,
but that's what's gonna happen
if you don't shut up.
Hai!
Nice flowers.
Wow, Mom,
it looks serious this time.
What wouldn't I do
for my daughter?
This is the most sought-after clinic
in the country.
You know how hard it is
to make an appointment?
How did you do it?
For my daughter,
I'd do anything.
I'd even sleep outside
her door all night.
Thank you, Mom.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Mom, what have you done to me?
Somehow I don't think you said,
"Thank you,
"I'm so happy to be here."
Yes, I'm sorry,
but this is a waste of time.
Okay, but since you're already here,
would you like to sit down
and talk a little?
You can always get up
and leave.
She wants to.
Molly, this is my profession.
I know how to separate
my work and personal life.
Don't think about her...
being your future mother-in-law.
Melika, why don't you leave us
alone for a little bit?
Of course. I'm...
I'm...
I'm going. I'm...
I'm willing to go,
I won't interfere.
So good luck.
-Thank you, Melika. -Bye.
Bye.
Don't forget to tell her
about the party.
Start with the party.
-Thank you, Melika.
I'm not telling her what to say,
I just don't want her
to forget what to say.
All right?
-Okay.
Molly honey, good luck.
Bye.
You're...
welcome to sit down.
You don't have to.
Thanks, Tzipora,
really, but I'll be going.
Okay, I respect that
and I apologize if I hurt your feelings.
I thought you knew
where you were coming.
No, I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
If you ever want to come to talk
or share anything with me,
you're always welcome.
You don't have to make an appointment.
Why, because we're family?
No, because I'm afraid of your mother.
You're not the only one.
Maybe I will stay for a while,
just so she thinks we talked.
Great idea.
Come, sit.
I've never been to therapy.
There's a first time for everything.
I was in Bukhara,
I was in Moscow,
they wanted me to go to university.
I could have been an academic.
Bekhor,
I made sirkaniz,
do you want it
with or without garlic?
With garlic.
Lots of garlic.
You know what?
No garlic,
I have a meeting soon,
better not.
Hi, Mom.
What's there to eat?
I made sirkaniz.
What is this?
Sirkaniz without garlic?
You guys are driving me nuts.
With, without...
If you want garlic,
get some.
No, but I like when you cook it
with garlic.
You want it cooked with garlic?
Ask Esti to make it.
There is no more Esti,
only you, Mom.
Thank God.
-What?
She's Dafi number 2.
Modern, Israeli-born.
What kind of a Bukharian girl
doesn't want to get married?
She deserves worse than this.
We'll find someone for you, don't worry.
You're handsome, tall, famous.
Thanks, Mom,
but I don't need anyone.
And how do you know
she doesn't want to get married?
Maybe I didn't want to?
She's not right for you,
that's why.
I don't want anyone right now.
I want to focus on work.
Are you going back to the studio?
I'm an actor.
You said "work."
Now you're getting smart,
now you're making sense.
Go work, make some money.
I booked shows for you
three months in advance,
including tomorrow at Yohananov's
eyebrow-plucking ceremony.
Good.
Why did you add garlic?
I stressed out
when you didn't come to work today.
I needed time to think.
Okay. What about?
About me.
Okay, I get it,
you're calling off the wedding.
Would you stop being a moron
and listen to me?
Molly, what's going on?
Look at me.
It's me.
I wish they were all like you.
Guys are pieces of shit.
Okay. Why do you say that?
Because...
I really got hurt once
from a guy who...
I trusted him
and he just wanted...
He just wanted to take advantage of me
and I didn't realize that.
Hey, it's okay.
It's all good, I understand.
So we drank more and more
and more.
Don't cry. Hey, hey.
Don't cry, my darling.
It's okay.
It's okay, I understand.
That's why I'm like this with you,
it's not because of the Bukharians
ad it's not because I'm shy.
I'm so proud, I don't care.
Don't cry. It's okay.
Just so you know,
this is all thanks to your mom.
My mom?
Yes, she encouraged me
to talk about it.
Now I can stop making
stupid excuses.
Okay, it's all right.
Just as long as
you're okay now, all right?
Hey.
Thank you for telling me.
Hello, my dear daughter-in-law.
Hello, father-in-law.
I came to help.
She sent you, huh?
Tell her that I said
that her son is a big baby
who wants to be pampered all day.
I don't always have to do
whatever he wants.
I've had it.
He's got some nerve.
You know, you're right.
What?
That he's a jackass.
No one ever did such things
in our family.
But I love that jackass,
what can I do?
Do you still love him?
Good question.
Remember when you met?
You two were such lovebirds.
Yes, Bekhor was the most
eligible bachelor in the neighborhood.
All the girls wanted him.
When you came to ask for my hand,
I didn't understand
why he chose me,
because I was always so quiet.
Later on I realized
that's why he chose me.
And me?
I'm sick of always being quiet.
You understand,
dear father-in-law?
Yes, Melika used to be quiet too.
But you're a wise woman.
A woman of valor.
You have kids at home.
Good kids,
bless their hearts.
If you continue to show him
that you're in control here,
maybe it'll help.
Seriously, kids at home
without a father?
Are you happy now
all by yourself?
No.
That's why I go to Pilates
with my girlfriends.
Any chance you could fill in
for me here for a couple hours?
Okay.
-Good, thank you so much.
But I...
I have some good ointment
for Pilates.
Bye, dear father-in-law,
thank you.
Is it itchy?
Revital, don't cry.
Really, sweetie,
it's not worth it.
Let's do a little exercise, okay?
Take the cushion that's beside you.
That's it.
Let's imagine
that cushion is Simon.
Look at the cushion and say:
I'm sexy without you too.
I can't say that.
-Try.
What right do you have
of interfering with me and Molly?
You think just because
you have a degree in psychology
you can tell everyone
how to live?
This will take a few moments,
I apologize.
Would you like to wait outside?
Sit down.
Mom, don't tell me to sit down,
I'm not one of your patients.
Sit down, I'm not staying.
Shall I make something
for us to drink?
You know what?
For a psychologist,
you really don't know how to listen.
I won't let you ruin this
like you did with my previous girlfriends.
Me?
You convinced Noa
that I didn't really love her.
You really didn't love her.
You convinced Aya
that she didn't really love me.
She really didn't love you.
You kicked Adi out.
-She ran away.
After you told her
she wasn't smart enough for me.
You know I was right.
Molly really means
a lot to me.
She means a lot to you?
You have a funny way of showing it.
Excuse me?
I don't want any coffee!
Coffee?
Mom, I love Molly
more than anything
and I won't let you ruin it,
you understand?
Do you realize
you're going to lose her?
What? Have you started
palm-reading now?
Where did you come up with that?
I tried so hard to raise
a sensitive and empathetic boy
and I can't believe
how selfish you turned out.
Bye.
-See the way your react?
The easiest thing
is to walk away.
The same infantile reactions of yours
are traumatizing Molly.
I know you,
I don't get too worked up,
but you're making her
close up even more in her shell.
My darling son,
if you keep this up,
you'll lose her
and I didn't see that in your palm.
I'm prescribing you
a Bach flower remedy.
Here you go.
Tzipora honey, is there anyone downstairs?
I'm coming down, undressed.
No, Dovaleh, stay upstairs.
Dad, put something on,
for God's sake.
I don't interfere in your matters.
Suddenly she doesn't interfere.
Let them suffer a little.
We're the ones
who are suffering, mother-in-law.
Bekhor too, let him suffer a little,
then he'll understand.
He already understands.
He didn't understand anything.
You keep quiet.
You couldn't even convince Margo.
How can I convince her
if I'm not convinced myself?
In any case,
we don't want your help.
We'll manage on our own.
Mom, keep quiet.
What did I say?
What do you want from me?
She doesn't understand.
He turned her into his servant.
Does it matter if Melika
is your servant or his servant?
Let him go to his own home.
Mother-in-law, why don't you say something?
Mom, play quietly.
I didn't say anything.
Then say something.
You help everyone,
so help your family for once too.
I married you off
when you were 18.
When you were five months pregnant
you packed your things
and came back home crying.
I wouldn't take you back.
I packed up everything
and sent you back home,
to your husband.
It's been 35 years
since that happened
and you've been living together
ever since.
Exactly.
Because of you, I've been with
this jackass for 35 years.
Jackass?
A bigger jackass came out of this jackass.
At least I never went back
to my parents.
You think I like being his servant?
If you're such a big shot,
you talk to him.
I won.
We got to the wedding,
sat down
and I suddenly saw that each person was
given three dishes, stacked up,
but empty.
Back in the day,
three people used to get
one big dish.
So how come nowadays
there are three dishes for one person?
Everything's the opposite here.
What a surprise, Grandma.
How are you?
Thank God, the old lady is...
Why are you sitting in the dark?
Are you holding a seance?
There's a power cut.
Can I have a cup of tea?
My throat's dry.
Sure, come in,
but there's no electricity,
I'll make it on the gas,
it'll take a little longer.
Why, didn't you pay the bill?
I did paid the bill,
but it went off
and I don't know how to fix it
and I don't want to ask
the neighbors for help
because I've been driving
them crazy lately.
It's...
It's okay, I called a technician,
he said he'd come,
but only tomorrow.
Good for you.
Come, I'll make you some tea.
I've been without m y husband
for 53 years.
I do everything on my own.
Our sages say: It's always good to have
an old rag and a husband at home.
Which means?
No matter what happens,
you need a rag at home
and a husband
because one day
you're gonna need them.
I don't want to live my whole life
like a cat and dog
because one day
it may come.
Even though you fight like a cat and dog,
at least you're not alone.
You meow
and he immediately starts barking.
And if he barks,
you jump in the bed,
meow a little
and melt his heart.
You can always tell each other
what you're feeling,
take things out on each other,
yell, cry and laugh together.
I'm always alone
in an empty house.
There's no one by my side
who cares about me.
I have no one to talk to.
I stare at the ceiling all day
and all night,
crying, yelling, barking, meowing,
but no one answers.
That's why it's important
to put your children under your wings.
Appreciate what you have,
I have no one to even
serve me a cup of tea.
I'll make you tea, Grandma,
green tea.
I don't drink green tea.
Otherwise I won't be
able to fall asleep.
Tomorrow morning I have to broadcast
the news on the radio.
Okay.
May you live and be well, Grandma.
And thank you for the electricity.
-You're welcome.
Whoa.
Good job, you bring honor
to our community.
Thank you.
-You are our best comedian.
Many thanks.
Hey, man.
Take a picture of us.
What's going on here?
What is this, a zoo?
Bekhor, chill.
-This looks unprofessional.
You don't want people
thinking you're an amateur.
Here, I'll take your picture.
Okay, good.
Look at me.
Good.
Wait, now one with me.
What for, Bekhor?
-With the camera.
Nice picture.
-Thank you.
Hey, Hai,
can I take a picture with you?
Yeah.
Of course, right this way.
Look at me.
I'll send you the pictures.
You want one too?
Gladly.
Look at me.
Hai. Hai.
Look at the camera.
Where are you going from here?
Can we join you?
We're going home.
-No we're not.
We're going to get a drink.
Wanna come along?
Sure, why not?
-This event is boring anyway.
It'd be a shame
to waste this dress.
You're right.
Smart woman.
Let's go.
It really is a pretty dress.
-Thank you.
Ispandut drives away the evil
and the envy of relatives, close and far,
and neighbors.
The evil eye is destroyed
in the hot fire.
I ask God
that Molly's wedding
take place in peace and quiet,
may God give wisdom
to Bekhor's wife,
and I hope that Hai marries
a nice Bukharian woman.
May the Lord send good health
to Bekhor and Hai.
May their paths always be paved
with good luck and success.
Cheers. Cheers.
We have burned the Ispandut.
We have driven away the evil.
We have burned the twigs and salt,
to blow out the eyes of all our enemies.
Darn... how do you put this out?
I'm choking.
about when I was in Bukhara...
Do you do events?
How much do you charge?
It was wrong of me
not to tell you, Esti,
but I swear,
nothing happened.
I don't believe a word you say.
Esther, the new intern.
Remind me
what we're celebrating?
That you just ignored
your boyfriend's call.
Will you watch the door for me?
-Sure I will.
Doesn't he know that by us,
if a girl isn't a virgin,
no one will marry her?
Hello.
Molly the intern.
-Yes.
I'm here with my parents,
as is the custom in Bukhara,
to ask for Molly's hand in marriage.
Sleeping over is really bad.
What's so bad about it, Molly?
Cheating is very hard to get over.
If Margo is having a hard time with Bekhor
and wants to get a divorce...
Divorce?
Who said anything about a divorce?
You're not coming home.
Why are you doing this?
You're not ready yet.
Hai, get up.
Hai, Hai, get up.
Your phone keeps ringing,
Hai, Hai, Hai...
Get up.
What are you doing
with my phone?
It's keeps ringing.
You expect me not to answer?
No.
But people want you for shows.
Get up.
Really? -Lots of people called.
-Who?
I wrote everything down.
Here.
Sveta the witch
wants you for
her son's Bar Mitzvah,
and big-eyed Misha
wants you for his grandson's
first hair-cutting ceremony.
And Nina the frog
wants you for a nukhon giron.
What's nukhon giron?
A baby's first nail-cutting ceremony
at the age of 40 days.
That's an event too?
-Of course.
It's a blessing,
it's in the Torah.
Come on, get up.
Mom, did Esti call?
No, my boy, no.
How about I make you
some chai qaimaq cream?
No, I don't want anything,
I don't feel well.
Hai, I thought it over.
I think we should have
a fixed price
and go 50-50,
what do you say?
What?
Okay, 60-40, but get up.
I want to take your pictures
for posters, fliers,
Instagram, Facebook.
And Internet!
My Nozanin...
Dad, close the door.
And knock next time.
Sorry.
Lock the door!
Dummy.
Don't come in here right now.
Good morning.
You didn't go to the studio?
I'm not feeling well.
So like I said,
it's two for the price of one.
Yes, if you have Hai
perform at your event,
you get me,
best photographer in the country.
I'll film your event
from top to bottom,
video, stills, albums,
camera crane, you name it.
Yes. Now you understand.
Thank you.
Mom, are you trying
to make feet soup?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, forgive me.
Make a decision
and give me a call, okay?
Because they're snapping us up
like hot gozhgizha.
Thank you.
And she says sorry to him.
You have a wife at home,
a good wife.
Go to her.
This one's mine.
I'll go, I'll go.
Why didn't you shave?
-Don't worry, I'll go.
What else can I do for you?
Go rest, Mom,
everything's fine now.
-Want some tea?
Tea would be great.
Thank you.
Two for the price of one.
You want him
to end up staying here?
No, no.
You're right.
Mom, can I have some
chai qaimaq instead of tea?
No.
We're out of milk,
but we can go down to get some.
Abo.
Excuse me, is Esti here?
Hi.
-Hi. -Who are you looking for?
Esti Domatov.
Not me?
When will someone come looking for me?
She's not here, she went out.
Where to?
Sorry, we can't give out
any info to delivery boys.
I'm not a delivery boy,
I'm her boyfriend.
So you're Hai?
-Yes.
You turned out to be a real jerk.
So the whole office knows?
No.
-Almost.
Just us and a few other girls.
And associates.
And the cleaning lady.
Fine, everyone knows.
I'm not sure
that'll be enough.
Then could you help me
and tell me where she is?
Fine.
They went clothes shopping.
Clothes shopping during work hours?
Yes, it's a store
that the office works with.
Lawyers have to look presentable
to hide their true nature.
They left ten minutes ago.
They?
Esti and Adir.
Who's Adir?
Adir is the sexy, hot associate here.
Adir.
Thanks.
-You're welcome.
You can leave the chocolate here.
She's on a diet.
Here you go.
-Thanks.
Share them.
Sweetheart.
Sweetheart
Get up.
-What?
I'm not going to work, Mom.
Why not?
-I don't feel well.
You too? Oh no.
We have to get the evil eye
out of this house.
What's wrong, Mommy's darling?
-Mom.
Tell me.
-Everything's fine.
I can tell by your voice
that's not true.
Don't worry,
it's natural for brides to feel that way.
There are nerves, thoughts, concerns,
but then you get married
and, God willing, have kids...
Do you want us to call off the wedding?
Or postpone it?
Mom, stop it!
-Just say the word.
Give me a break
and let me go back to sleep.
Is it about that issue again?
Just forget about it.
I read about it.
After every trauma
there's post-trauma, and it's okay
and you go to work,
all normal, normal, normal.
Now get up,
come to work.
Are you done?
-Yes. -Good.
You're not exactly a psychologist.
-No.
I'm not a psychologist. I...
If you want,
I know a psychologist.
Do you want to
see a psychologist?
Not one of your witches again.
No, no, a doctor.
She has a private clinic.
Is she Bukharian?
-No.
Why, you want a Bukharian?
Not at all.
What's wrong with Bukharians?
Bukharians are the best.
Nowadays everyone
wants to be Bukharian.
Mom!
What?
-Dad?
What?
What's wrong?
As if you don't know.
This gozhgizha is hot on the inside,
cold on the outside.
How am I supposed to eat this?
I'll reheat it.
Daddy's darling,
don't drag this out too long.
Be a man.
You mean, give her hell?
Just the opposite.
Go to her and say:
Margo, my beautiful,
I was an idiot.
Yes.
Say some nice words,
buy her some earrings or rings.
Women like that.
Her mama can say she's sorry!
Who should I say I'm sorry?
What did I do?
Did I go out singing like a ho
every night
at clubs for everyone to see
and talk about us?
No one saw or heard what I did.
Can anyone say anything about me?
She should come here
and say she's sorry.
If she comes,
will you go home?
Maybe.
What do I need her for?
What do I need her for?
What am I lacking for?
I've got everything here.
This place is like a hotel.
Mom, get my sweater from over there
and hand-wash it,
but in warm water,
not in the washing machine.
Look at him.
Please!
What can come out of a jackass?
It's your fault.
-Me?
You were never firm with the kids.
I was both
a mother and a father.
If you keep taking his side,
he'll end up getting a divorce.
Who's getting a divorce?
No one's getting a divorce.
We said "main course."
Molly's getting married,
we need to choose a main course.
Mom, it's boiling hot,
it burned my tongue.
What is Bekhor doing here?
He popped by to eat.
Is his wife dead?
God forbid.
Why would you say that?
He was hungry,
Bekhor likes eating
in different places.
Your husband used to eat around
a lot too.
Bravo, Yaron,
these shirts and pants are dope.
Dope...
Come on,
what's taking you so long?
I don't know, it feels weird.
Not right for courts and hearings.
Yes, but you also have the office,
associate meetings.
Besides, I'm paying,
so come on out.
Whoa.
Wow.
Are you kidding me?
You look the character in that series.
The Good Wife.
I feel strong.
That's good, isn't it?
Not all Bukharians
like their women strong.
Enough with Bukharians.
From now on, you are
Attorney-at-law Esther Domatov.
Objection.
Overruled.
That's it,
you're ready to kick some ass.
Nice.
Having fun?
Hai.
What are you doing here?
I went to see you at the office,
to apologize.
They told me
you were here.
Working.
-Working? I'm not working.
I'm looking for a Torah scroll.
Hai, we're in the middle here,
you're interrupting.
Hi, I'm Adir.
You never bothered
telling me about Adir.
I wanted to spare you
the heartbreak and the concern.
I think I'll leave you too alone
for a while.
Okay, Esther?
-Esther? Who is this clown?
We just work together,
so relax.
Are you trying to get back at me?
Just let go of the whole thing with Dafi.
I don't care about her at all.
Then what are you doing here
with this loser?
Don't talk to me like that,
you hear me?
Why, what'll you do?
Sue me?
Yeah.
I'll find something.
You're dating my girlfriend.
Hai, you're jumping to conclusions
and overreacting.
Overreacting?
I didn't go on any date with Dafi.
No, you just spent three nights
with her overseas.
I didn't spend three nights with her.
And I was super-loyal.
She got stuck with us there.
Esti, why are you
doing this to us?
Listen, this isn't
what you think it is, okay?
We were talking about you
right before you walked in.
Oh, that's why I sneezed
when I walked in.
You listen to me,
Mr. Attorney,
you should be grateful that
I didn't stick this hanger in your eye,
but that's what's gonna happen
if you don't shut up.
Hai!
Nice flowers.
Wow, Mom,
it looks serious this time.
What wouldn't I do
for my daughter?
This is the most sought-after clinic
in the country.
You know how hard it is
to make an appointment?
How did you do it?
For my daughter,
I'd do anything.
I'd even sleep outside
her door all night.
Thank you, Mom.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Mom, what have you done to me?
Somehow I don't think you said,
"Thank you,
"I'm so happy to be here."
Yes, I'm sorry,
but this is a waste of time.
Okay, but since you're already here,
would you like to sit down
and talk a little?
You can always get up
and leave.
She wants to.
Molly, this is my profession.
I know how to separate
my work and personal life.
Don't think about her...
being your future mother-in-law.
Melika, why don't you leave us
alone for a little bit?
Of course. I'm...
I'm...
I'm going. I'm...
I'm willing to go,
I won't interfere.
So good luck.
-Thank you, Melika. -Bye.
Bye.
Don't forget to tell her
about the party.
Start with the party.
-Thank you, Melika.
I'm not telling her what to say,
I just don't want her
to forget what to say.
All right?
-Okay.
Molly honey, good luck.
Bye.
You're...
welcome to sit down.
You don't have to.
Thanks, Tzipora,
really, but I'll be going.
Okay, I respect that
and I apologize if I hurt your feelings.
I thought you knew
where you were coming.
No, I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
If you ever want to come to talk
or share anything with me,
you're always welcome.
You don't have to make an appointment.
Why, because we're family?
No, because I'm afraid of your mother.
You're not the only one.
Maybe I will stay for a while,
just so she thinks we talked.
Great idea.
Come, sit.
I've never been to therapy.
There's a first time for everything.
I was in Bukhara,
I was in Moscow,
they wanted me to go to university.
I could have been an academic.
Bekhor,
I made sirkaniz,
do you want it
with or without garlic?
With garlic.
Lots of garlic.
You know what?
No garlic,
I have a meeting soon,
better not.
Hi, Mom.
What's there to eat?
I made sirkaniz.
What is this?
Sirkaniz without garlic?
You guys are driving me nuts.
With, without...
If you want garlic,
get some.
No, but I like when you cook it
with garlic.
You want it cooked with garlic?
Ask Esti to make it.
There is no more Esti,
only you, Mom.
Thank God.
-What?
She's Dafi number 2.
Modern, Israeli-born.
What kind of a Bukharian girl
doesn't want to get married?
She deserves worse than this.
We'll find someone for you, don't worry.
You're handsome, tall, famous.
Thanks, Mom,
but I don't need anyone.
And how do you know
she doesn't want to get married?
Maybe I didn't want to?
She's not right for you,
that's why.
I don't want anyone right now.
I want to focus on work.
Are you going back to the studio?
I'm an actor.
You said "work."
Now you're getting smart,
now you're making sense.
Go work, make some money.
I booked shows for you
three months in advance,
including tomorrow at Yohananov's
eyebrow-plucking ceremony.
Good.
Why did you add garlic?
I stressed out
when you didn't come to work today.
I needed time to think.
Okay. What about?
About me.
Okay, I get it,
you're calling off the wedding.
Would you stop being a moron
and listen to me?
Molly, what's going on?
Look at me.
It's me.
I wish they were all like you.
Guys are pieces of shit.
Okay. Why do you say that?
Because...
I really got hurt once
from a guy who...
I trusted him
and he just wanted...
He just wanted to take advantage of me
and I didn't realize that.
Hey, it's okay.
It's all good, I understand.
So we drank more and more
and more.
Don't cry. Hey, hey.
Don't cry, my darling.
It's okay.
It's okay, I understand.
That's why I'm like this with you,
it's not because of the Bukharians
ad it's not because I'm shy.
I'm so proud, I don't care.
Don't cry. It's okay.
Just so you know,
this is all thanks to your mom.
My mom?
Yes, she encouraged me
to talk about it.
Now I can stop making
stupid excuses.
Okay, it's all right.
Just as long as
you're okay now, all right?
Hey.
Thank you for telling me.
Hello, my dear daughter-in-law.
Hello, father-in-law.
I came to help.
She sent you, huh?
Tell her that I said
that her son is a big baby
who wants to be pampered all day.
I don't always have to do
whatever he wants.
I've had it.
He's got some nerve.
You know, you're right.
What?
That he's a jackass.
No one ever did such things
in our family.
But I love that jackass,
what can I do?
Do you still love him?
Good question.
Remember when you met?
You two were such lovebirds.
Yes, Bekhor was the most
eligible bachelor in the neighborhood.
All the girls wanted him.
When you came to ask for my hand,
I didn't understand
why he chose me,
because I was always so quiet.
Later on I realized
that's why he chose me.
And me?
I'm sick of always being quiet.
You understand,
dear father-in-law?
Yes, Melika used to be quiet too.
But you're a wise woman.
A woman of valor.
You have kids at home.
Good kids,
bless their hearts.
If you continue to show him
that you're in control here,
maybe it'll help.
Seriously, kids at home
without a father?
Are you happy now
all by yourself?
No.
That's why I go to Pilates
with my girlfriends.
Any chance you could fill in
for me here for a couple hours?
Okay.
-Good, thank you so much.
But I...
I have some good ointment
for Pilates.
Bye, dear father-in-law,
thank you.
Is it itchy?
Revital, don't cry.
Really, sweetie,
it's not worth it.
Let's do a little exercise, okay?
Take the cushion that's beside you.
That's it.
Let's imagine
that cushion is Simon.
Look at the cushion and say:
I'm sexy without you too.
I can't say that.
-Try.
What right do you have
of interfering with me and Molly?
You think just because
you have a degree in psychology
you can tell everyone
how to live?
This will take a few moments,
I apologize.
Would you like to wait outside?
Sit down.
Mom, don't tell me to sit down,
I'm not one of your patients.
Sit down, I'm not staying.
Shall I make something
for us to drink?
You know what?
For a psychologist,
you really don't know how to listen.
I won't let you ruin this
like you did with my previous girlfriends.
Me?
You convinced Noa
that I didn't really love her.
You really didn't love her.
You convinced Aya
that she didn't really love me.
She really didn't love you.
You kicked Adi out.
-She ran away.
After you told her
she wasn't smart enough for me.
You know I was right.
Molly really means
a lot to me.
She means a lot to you?
You have a funny way of showing it.
Excuse me?
I don't want any coffee!
Coffee?
Mom, I love Molly
more than anything
and I won't let you ruin it,
you understand?
Do you realize
you're going to lose her?
What? Have you started
palm-reading now?
Where did you come up with that?
I tried so hard to raise
a sensitive and empathetic boy
and I can't believe
how selfish you turned out.
Bye.
-See the way your react?
The easiest thing
is to walk away.
The same infantile reactions of yours
are traumatizing Molly.
I know you,
I don't get too worked up,
but you're making her
close up even more in her shell.
My darling son,
if you keep this up,
you'll lose her
and I didn't see that in your palm.
I'm prescribing you
a Bach flower remedy.
Here you go.
Tzipora honey, is there anyone downstairs?
I'm coming down, undressed.
No, Dovaleh, stay upstairs.
Dad, put something on,
for God's sake.
I don't interfere in your matters.
Suddenly she doesn't interfere.
Let them suffer a little.
We're the ones
who are suffering, mother-in-law.
Bekhor too, let him suffer a little,
then he'll understand.
He already understands.
He didn't understand anything.
You keep quiet.
You couldn't even convince Margo.
How can I convince her
if I'm not convinced myself?
In any case,
we don't want your help.
We'll manage on our own.
Mom, keep quiet.
What did I say?
What do you want from me?
She doesn't understand.
He turned her into his servant.
Does it matter if Melika
is your servant or his servant?
Let him go to his own home.
Mother-in-law, why don't you say something?
Mom, play quietly.
I didn't say anything.
Then say something.
You help everyone,
so help your family for once too.
I married you off
when you were 18.
When you were five months pregnant
you packed your things
and came back home crying.
I wouldn't take you back.
I packed up everything
and sent you back home,
to your husband.
It's been 35 years
since that happened
and you've been living together
ever since.
Exactly.
Because of you, I've been with
this jackass for 35 years.
Jackass?
A bigger jackass came out of this jackass.
At least I never went back
to my parents.
You think I like being his servant?
If you're such a big shot,
you talk to him.
I won.
We got to the wedding,
sat down
and I suddenly saw that each person was
given three dishes, stacked up,
but empty.
Back in the day,
three people used to get
one big dish.
So how come nowadays
there are three dishes for one person?
Everything's the opposite here.
What a surprise, Grandma.
How are you?
Thank God, the old lady is...
Why are you sitting in the dark?
Are you holding a seance?
There's a power cut.
Can I have a cup of tea?
My throat's dry.
Sure, come in,
but there's no electricity,
I'll make it on the gas,
it'll take a little longer.
Why, didn't you pay the bill?
I did paid the bill,
but it went off
and I don't know how to fix it
and I don't want to ask
the neighbors for help
because I've been driving
them crazy lately.
It's...
It's okay, I called a technician,
he said he'd come,
but only tomorrow.
Good for you.
Come, I'll make you some tea.
I've been without m y husband
for 53 years.
I do everything on my own.
Our sages say: It's always good to have
an old rag and a husband at home.
Which means?
No matter what happens,
you need a rag at home
and a husband
because one day
you're gonna need them.
I don't want to live my whole life
like a cat and dog
because one day
it may come.
Even though you fight like a cat and dog,
at least you're not alone.
You meow
and he immediately starts barking.
And if he barks,
you jump in the bed,
meow a little
and melt his heart.
You can always tell each other
what you're feeling,
take things out on each other,
yell, cry and laugh together.
I'm always alone
in an empty house.
There's no one by my side
who cares about me.
I have no one to talk to.
I stare at the ceiling all day
and all night,
crying, yelling, barking, meowing,
but no one answers.
That's why it's important
to put your children under your wings.
Appreciate what you have,
I have no one to even
serve me a cup of tea.
I'll make you tea, Grandma,
green tea.
I don't drink green tea.
Otherwise I won't be
able to fall asleep.
Tomorrow morning I have to broadcast
the news on the radio.
Okay.
May you live and be well, Grandma.
And thank you for the electricity.
-You're welcome.
Whoa.
Good job, you bring honor
to our community.
Thank you.
-You are our best comedian.
Many thanks.
Hey, man.
Take a picture of us.
What's going on here?
What is this, a zoo?
Bekhor, chill.
-This looks unprofessional.
You don't want people
thinking you're an amateur.
Here, I'll take your picture.
Okay, good.
Look at me.
Good.
Wait, now one with me.
What for, Bekhor?
-With the camera.
Nice picture.
-Thank you.
Hey, Hai,
can I take a picture with you?
Yeah.
Of course, right this way.
Look at me.
I'll send you the pictures.
You want one too?
Gladly.
Look at me.
Hai. Hai.
Look at the camera.
Where are you going from here?
Can we join you?
We're going home.
-No we're not.
We're going to get a drink.
Wanna come along?
Sure, why not?
-This event is boring anyway.
It'd be a shame
to waste this dress.
You're right.
Smart woman.
Let's go.
It really is a pretty dress.
-Thank you.
Ispandut drives away the evil
and the envy of relatives, close and far,
and neighbors.
The evil eye is destroyed
in the hot fire.
I ask God
that Molly's wedding
take place in peace and quiet,
may God give wisdom
to Bekhor's wife,
and I hope that Hai marries
a nice Bukharian woman.
May the Lord send good health
to Bekhor and Hai.
May their paths always be paved
with good luck and success.
Cheers. Cheers.
We have burned the Ispandut.
We have driven away the evil.
We have burned the twigs and salt,
to blow out the eyes of all our enemies.
Darn... how do you put this out?
I'm choking.
