Why do we need a new car?
What?
Going to Vegas with a friend?
Las Vegas?
I thought you're scared of long flights.
And it's "Las" with an A…
Tuti, you're all over me, I just woke up…
Who's all over you?
I'm a millionaire today, it makes me horny.
How about brushing your teeth?
I could've just gone down on you.
Gul, have you seen the car keys?
Found them.
The workshop's earlier today, we're getting the money.
I'll pick you up after and we'll go see the apartment.
Gul?
- Fine. - I'll text you. Bye.
Are you stupid or what? How did this happen?
- Where's your underwear? - In the top drawer.
- Ow. - Sorry.
I got pills from the doctor.
Take two, the spasm will go away.
- Easy. - They're very strong.
- Have you eaten? - Yes.
Ar… Arnona.
- Give me your hand. - I want to come home.
What for?
We've been through this before…
Fuck a man, it could release you there too.
I did.
- Are those new glasses? - Yes.
There's no cups around here.
Arnoni.
I hope you're staying away from the minibar.
A bag of cashews, 24 shekels.
That's insane.
Take two.
- Two? - Two.
Who did you fuck?
"Who?"
Who did you fuck?
You want names?
Nice, "names," plural…
Arnoni.
It's not hooked up.
It's not?
- Was it here? - What?
Did you fuck here?
One… And here's… another one.
All's well.
Often there's some bleeding at the start of a pregnancy,
but it's a good thing you came.
I always say, better safe than sorry.
You can get dressed.
Come back in three weeks to be monitored.
Okay?
I just got scared.
Of course. It's alarming.
But it's progressing just fine.
Is it true that after birth the pussy is never the same?
It gets wide and stays like that?
A stretched vagina is common after birth.
With twins we recommend a C-section in any case, so…
Okay?
Do you like what you do?
Do I like being a doctor? Very much.
How old are you?
Thirty three.
Are you alright?
In elementary school we did these exams.
This lady came, she smelled like she had just come out of the shower.
I thought to myself, she's so lucky,
because in our family there was a line for the shower in the morning.
She handed out the sheets, I did the exam in a minute,
then my parents were called in,
they were told something about a school in Tel Aviv twice a week.
I remember my mom laughed so hard.
Was it an exam for gifted students?
One day,
I was doing the dishes, my dad came in the kitchen
and asked me quietly if I want to go,
I said, no, it's okay
and I stayed at my school.
To this day I…
when I'm in the drugstore I look for that lady's perfume.
Okay. Great.
That's the wound
you carry to this day, making do with little.
Your whole life you internalized that you have to compromise,
that you don't deserve it.
This is exactly what I meant.
You lost the sense of "I'm deserving," "I'm worthy."
It applies to every aspect of your life.
You don't deserve to study medicine,
even though you have the grades.
You don't deserve more money than your siblings even though you won.
You don't deserve to get married where you want to,
only at your brother in law's venue.
Excuse me.
We'll take a short break.
What's up? Is everything alright?
The presentation's been pushed up to tomorrow.
I…
I'm sorry I told you to leave.
Okay.
- So… - It's not okay.
- I want us to have sex. - What?
I don't remember typical things.
I remember
lying in bed before falling asleep,
there's light from the living room,
my folks…
are smoking joints
and listening to The Beatles at full volume,
laughing and dancing sometimes.
I think it will help me.
I get a blackout. I don't remember what I have to say
and I have to look at my phone.
My mouth gets dry, my hands sweat, I…
Can we have sex?
I was eight.
My mom went back to the States where she was born.
Suddenly the home was quiet.
I started fending for myself.
I cleaned, tidied up, cooked.
It was kinda cool.
But sometimes at night, before I fell asleep,
I wanted a hug.
And it takes two for that.
Can we have sex today?
Hold on, Alex. I…
I'll give you the 100,000.
It's less than one percent of my money.
And I don't need it, I told you…
I want the presentation to go well,
- I want to keep my job, I love what I do. - I understand, it's just--
You said it would help me.
I really think it will.
You didn't have a home when you were a child,
now you're an adult, you want a home.
Three.
You're expecting some magic solution.
Once you have a home, things will fall into place
it will sort out your relationship with Gali,
change your father and brother's personality.
You won't have to worry so much.
What you lost as a child…
either you'll never get over it
or you'll always be compensating.
If we have sex I need a bit more.
Okay.
How much?
Two million.
- To cover your father's debts? - What?
- I read that your father's in debt. - That doesn't matter, Alex.
I don't know…
at a young age I realized that something's wrong with me.
And I pretended all the time.
That there's a war, there's danger,
that I'm a spy.
No one must know or I'm dead.
And I had to be like the boys in my class.
They liked tractors, so did I.
They peeked at the girls, so did I.
And I was good at it.
I don't know… it kills me,
how is it they were all the same?
How did they know how to behave…
And I said to myself, if I'll be like everyone else,
get married, have kids and be normal,
then I won't be lonely.
But…
I still feel…
I'm all alone.
Never mind.
Let's define, what did Zvi lose?
Zvi lost his truth.
What does it matter what he lost?
He lost my ass, so what?
- Do we really need these definitions? - We're here to help.
- Then why are you shitting all over him? - Arnona, she's not shitting on me.
He said he hurts, that he felt distorted.
- I didn't say "distorted." - How do your theories help?
Drawing on the board all day.
Okay, you're right.
Theories are great,
but in the end money brings things out
that no one thought it would.
Just yesterday I thought how…
two months ago I was sitting across
from a shy accountant,
a young man with dreams of traveling,
a happy couple about to get married,
and grandparents who've been married for 40 years
and want to make their daughters happy.
I think we're done, right?
Does anyone have something to add?
Thank you for coming and congrats, the money's in your accounts.
Thank you, Ayelet.
Is that it?
- Bye. - Congratulations.
Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Bye, Alex.
Bye.
Hi. I'm at the hospital, I'll send you the details.
- Bye. - Bye.
He's sweet.
Are you coming?
Well?
When you spoke,
when she said you're a compromiser…
Yes?
So, you're also compromising when it comes to me.
I'm what?
She's right.
You always compromise.
When it comes to me too.
Maybe you'd rather I were a doctor or a lawyer…
No way. Where's this coming from?
I'm compromising by being with you?
But then I realized…
that I'm the one who's compromising.
You're what?
I'm compromising.
You don't love me enough.
I don't love you enough?
- Did you see how she defended him? - Who?
Arnona, earlier.
She let Ayelet have it.
You never fought for me like that.
No one ever fought for me.
You're comparing me to Arnona? She hates Zvi.
Poor things, they're stuck with one another.
No, she loves him.
He may be weird, gay, but she truly loves him.
That's how you love, Ruti, you fight for your man.
That's how I fought for you with your family.
What?
You fought?
What does that mean?
We have to break it off, Tut.
Take your half, split it with your siblings.
They'll be happy, you'll be happy.
What?
It's okay, you won't understand.
I don't. Explain it to me.
My whole life I felt…
I can't.
I don't need my wife to tell me that too.
When do I say that?
- All the time. - Then I won't.
I won't.
Amir…
- I'm done. - Where are you going?
Wait, Amir, where are you going?
I didn't fight for you?
I fought with my entire family for you.
- Amir… - I'm sorry, Tut.
What?
What we're doing now
is making sure no one's pressuring you to terminate.
Okay.
It's of your own free will and you understand the implications.
Okay. Awesome.
It feels like Hollywood.
- I didn't think it was real. - What?
Asking me if someone's forcing me to do it.
Did anyone ever say they were?
It's like… those security questions before you go abroad.
Did anyone ever say, "Yes, I was given a bomb to carry?"
It's weird.
- How old are you? - Twenty two.
Can we put the candles out?
You wanted them.
They stink.
Do you want to take your shirt off?
No.
You want to keep shirts on? We can…
Soon. Okay?
Hey, it's all good.
- Did you ever kiss a woman? - Maybe…
this wasn't a good idea.
I remember that…
it wasn't discussed at home,
as if it didn't happen, I wasn't supposed to know.
And then things stopped.
Fruit, after school activities.
There were no more dinner invitations, the cars were sold.
Then one day it was on the news.
The TV was on and…
my dad was on the news.
My mom told him his shirt is appalling.
He told her to turn it off.
I sat there for a long time,
through the weather forecast.
Listen,
it's still us.
It's you and me.
Sometimes you'll teach me how to love and fight
and I'll teach you if "damn" is with or without an "n."
It's "damn."
We love one another.
Remember the first time we met?
You looked at me from a distance all night.
You looked but didn't come over.
And I looked at you and you didn't come over.
Finally I went over to you.
I'll be at the Rabbinate at four.
All you have to do is be there.
You said I don't fight for you.
Here, I'm fighting.
Be there.
Are you alright?
This morning…
I was bleeding.
I…
didn't understand why, so…
I came here, the doctors ran tons of tests
and said it's nothing.
But the whole way…
I imagined it was over, no pregnancy.
I started thinking what will be.
I imagined coming here,
the doctors telling me it's over
and they're super sad with me.
Then I call you and you come.
You stay
and sleep all crooked on the couch.
Then two, three days go by
and we go for sushi, because now I can.
We drink tons of saké, to spite.
We fuck a lot and it's fun.
Then we go to the new apartment with the…
storeroom, that's airy.
Then a few weeks go by and you go back to work.
And maybe I start working too,
there must be a local café downstairs.
Then we split.
No drama,
and it's okay.
It's really okay to split up, because…
there's nothing keeping us together.
A kid won't do it.
What do you want me to do?
Stay here?
Okay.
Arnona.
Arnona?
It's in.
7,459,897.
I couldn't live like that for a minute.
With the money?
With what did you call it? A spy? Lonely?
You were like that with me.
With myself as well.
I'm sorry, Zvi.
What for?
For being bad at it.
What?
Talking.
The workshop.
What was your childhood like? What did you lose as a child?
I didn't have a childhood,
what could I lose?
I want…
to make an arrangement.
- What arrangement? - An arrangement. For us.
I want you to come home.
I want us to use the money,
to buy an apartment in the city.
Just ours.
Sometimes I'll go there,
sometimes you'll go there.
What will we do there?
Play pick-up sticks.
We'll take turns.
When we croak the girls will get the apartment,
they can burn it, cleanse it, sell it,
whatever they want.
Until then, it's ours.
What do you think?
- I'm going to take a shower. - Okay.
How about writing the check for me now?
So we don't forget?
Okay.
It's okay, right?
We're good? Was it okay?
I think I'll get a dog.
Okay.
Thank you, Alex.
MOM
Hey, Ayelet, it's Arnona.
I'm calling…
I wanted to tell you
that I think I gave you a hard time at the workshop.
I may have squashed you.
You saved our lives.
If you hadn't told us to wait before telling the girls,
Zvi and I wouldn't be together.
So thank you and I'm sorry.
You didn't deserve the way I treated you.
But it's your fault too. You shouldn't…
don't let people squash you like a cockroach.
RELIGIOUS COUNCIL OF YERUHAM RABBINICAL OFFICE
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Wow.
You're beautiful, Tut.
No one came. We need witnesses.
I can't get married here.
We'll get married at Shimon's.
Tell him.
And 200 to each sibling.
What? I can't say 200, it's disrespectful.
350?
No. 200 to each. They can take it or leave it.
Hey you, orange juice over there.
This wedding is so surreal.
- Dude… - I overheard three guests
saying the bride's a miser.
We can forget the tip.
- And what's she wearing? - Forget that,
I saw the groom handing out checks at the door.
- What? - Handing out checks.
At the door, to the guests.
Dude, they're weird.
- Poor things. - They're missing a screw.
Gimme the tray.
