P" "Directed by Israel Becker" "Quickly, Reb Kalman, or you will be late for the Sabbath" "Over hills and mountains through thick forests goes a matchmaker headed for Kabetzens, his home." "The tails of his coat fly in the wind and the matches drop from his pockets." "Oh, Ruler of the Universe, what a beautiful world" "You created and so much work you gave him to arrange weddings for all the sons and daughters of Israel, may they multiply and be fruitful." "At face value, plenty of work and a good living." "Ay!" "Let him finish one match each month, and he will promise to make matches for all the daughters of Israel at half-price." "And don't get excited, Ruler of the Universe." "Really, don't get excited." "Here it is, his town, Kabetzens." "A quiet town, peaceful, ramshackle wooden houses, narrow streets." "A happy family lives here." "That's his work, of course." "A happy family lives here, too." "That's also his work." "Certainly." "Nadlen, Come here a minute." " May his bones be burned... the matchmaker who matched me with a catch like you." "This is his work also." "This is a quiet, peaceful town, and in the windows of the houses that are lit sit young women, and in their eyes is the yearning for a groom." "A groom, Reb Kalman." "Children, in the name of God, without love, please." "You're taking away my living." "Oh, Lord of the Universe." "Good Sabbath, Leibelah" "Leibelah?" "Leibelah," "Leibelah, why don't you answer me?" "Leibelah, I got a chicken on account on a matchmaking fee." "I got home late today, huh?" "I almost broke the Sabbath." "If only Moti Mefitzes hadn't ruined the deal." "Oh, mother, mother, mother." "A whole week!" "A whole week I worked on the match." "Suddenly, over nonsense, he doesn't like the father-in-law." ""On the sixth day He finished the heavens and the earth" ""and their vast array" ""and God finished on the seventh day all the work that he had done."" "Well, well." ""...from all the work he had done."" "Leibelah, your mood is like untimely rain:" "Only makes mud and is useless." "I told you a thousand times I'll get a little money" "I'll find you a groom." "Till you get money, my hair will go gray." "Oh, Leibelah, it's the Sabbath." "On the Sabbath, you must not be sad." "First of all, it's a sin, and second it ruins the appetite." "I have not put anything in my mouth since this morning." "Leibelah, why aren't you eating?" " My eyes popped out of my head till you came home." " Well?" " Someone came looking for you." "And you were running around Pichutz." "Someone came looking for me?" "Who, might I ask?" "The lord." " What lord?" "The lord." "Pinhasel?" " Of course." " When?" "Yesterday and also today." " And what did he want from me?" "I don't know." "What the matter?" "They know it's the Sabbath now." "They know." "Pinhasel?" "Reb Pinhasel hasn't returned yet?" "No, Miss Leah." "Who is that fellow there?" "That's the teacher, the doctor's son." "A very polite fellow." "Very polite, eh?" "Good Sabbath." " Good Sabbath." "Start a war, they'll get beat I'm telling you." "Oy, You don't, you..." " Ah, good Sabbath Mr. Pinhasel." "Good Sabbath, Reb Kalman." " Good Sabbath." "He was once..." "Reb Kalman, when the Sabbath is over come visit me." "Yes Mr. Pinhasel." "Good Sabbath, Mr. Pinhas." " Good Sabbath." " Good Sabbath." "Good Sabbath, Reb Pinhasel." "Good Sabbath, Jews." " Good Sabbath." "Good Sabbath." "Good Sabbath." " Good Sabbath." "Seems I saw you before talking with somebody by the window." "Yes." " Who was it?" "Pinhas, let's sit down to eat." " Who was it?" "It was Max the teacher." "He gave her a book, that's all." "OK, let's sit down to eat." "Did you see the lord?" " Uh huh." "What did he want?" " A pedigree." "A pedigree he wants." "The time has come for his only daughter and it's hard to find her a match." "A pedigree, he's afraid he'll be the laugh of the whole town, because someone with a genuine pedigree won't agree to marry a butcher who became a cattle dealer." "Try to find a match for that genealogy." "To think about business is forbidden, but to completely ignore the blessings of the Good Lord also isn't nice." "Yehezkel Zaltzheim..." "Averekh Kamnevrotzky" "Then who?" "Kuni Lemel?" "Oy, Kuni, Kuni..." "Dear Kalman, please, make a miracle and find something good and a blessing will be upon you," "Shulmuneh Friedberg Mayor of Kashetreich" "Him?" " Not a word!" "Do you hear?" "Till the Sabbath ends!" " Go to sleep, Father." "Leibelah, the goat!" "Leibelah, come on." "Not one star has appeared to declare an end to the Sabbath, because they stop up there and say: "Don't get excited" ""Reb Kalman Solvitzik, all will work out for the best"" "There's one!" "No, no, no." "There's another." "There, a good new week for us, Leibelah, and all of Israel." "I'm going, Leibelah." "Bring me my work tools." "My umbrella." "Hold him." "Come, goat." "Come." "Quickly, quickly Leibelah." "May the hour be auspicious." "On the right foot, Father." " I hope so." "Greetings, Reb Pinhas, on the wings of eagles I came." "Greetings, Reb Kalman." "Come sit." "Tzipileh, make something nice for our guest." "The French language is really very beautiful." "Should we stop for today?" " No, why?" "It's early." "Continue the dictation." "Good then write, "Je Vous aime."" "Je... vous" "I brought some sustenance for the soul." "How are you doing?" "Mother, I'll just finish up the dictation and I'll come." "What's written there?" " Mother." "No, no, no." "It's alright." "Your mother should know it all." "She wrote, "Je vous aime."" "Ah, and what does it mean?" " It's a literary sentence." "Ah, well good." "Continue writing literary sentences." "Mother, tell them to lower their voices down there, OK?" "'OK." ""Je vous aime" means I love you." "Mother might understand, and then..." "Pinhasel, a little more quietly." " What's the matter." "You're being very noisy." " So?" "The girl is studying." " What's she studying." " French." "He's here again, the student, the Doctor's son, eh?" "A very polite man." " Very polite." "Pinhas, don't bother them." " It will be alright." "Don't worry." "Out." "Don't dare to come to my house again." "Do you hear?" "Good-for-nothing." "Don't come to my house and leave my daughter alone and don't get any ideas in your head." "What are you doing, Pinhas" " No ifs or buts, say goodbye, and don't say au revoir to me." "Hey, Max, we're here." "Doesn't hear and doesn't see." "He's really lovesick." "Wind it up, already." "Greetings." " Greetings." "Did something happen?" "Pinhasel caught you?" "He was angry." "He threw me out of his house." "But I'll fix him." "I don't know exactly what I'll do, but I'll fix him." "If you need help we'll do anything for you." "Well, well, what a scene that was." "I told you." "A match is in the making." "Not really." " What not really?" "This morning the two of them almost hugged." "The poor doctor's son." "After all he's an educated boy" "Educated shmeducated." "What's important is there be a wedding." "Let's see what's going on." "Come on." "Well what's going on?" " Nothing." "Meanwhile Reb Kalman is eating." "Leave my daughter be." "She's innocent like an angel." "Certainly she's an angel, and I'll make sure she doesn't leave the house." "Guard!" "Guard!" "Buy yourself a dog to help you guard." "Stupid." "Why are you underfoot all the time." "Will you have something to drink?" "We have to get her married and as soon as possible." "If I had found her a kosher boy, But what can we do?" "She wants one that's not kosher." "A fine pedigree for me, eh?" "The son of Doctor Benyocko who earns his bread by feeling pulses, leeches and things like that." "Chaia Rachel, Chaia Rachel, Chaia Rachel, pray." "If there will be a wedding, we'll stand on our feet again." "Itzo, who's your bodyguard?" " What's the matter?" "Why are you dreaming up there?" "Come down to the lord's house and see something." "The Rabbi says to hell with it and went to sleep." " No matter." "What's going on?" "They smell a wedding and they're running around like crazy." "Well, get moving already." "Quickly." "You didn't play it right." "Your father the doctor should have met with Pinhasel and with the matchmaker." "With whom?" " With the matchmaker." "I'll get married by means of a matchmaker?" "I love her." "Ah, that's very good but with the help of a matchmaker it could have been excellent." "Pinhasel, who but me knows what a diamond you want for you're daughter?" "The evidence:" "I looked and I found." " What did you find?" "Someone very special." "Very special?" "Who is the boy?" "He asks about the boy." "We have a pedigree here." "A fine pedigree for Pinhasel." "We have to strike while the iron is hot." "Reb Shulmuneh wants it, you want it, everyone wants it and I also want it." "Who is Shulmuneh?" "Shulmuneh?" "A great lord with millions, head of the congregation of Shikhrivkeh." " Well, well." "Well, let's finish the deal and not take into account that he has a few little flaws." "Who?" "Shulmuneh?" " No, the boy." " Flaws did you say?" "Did I say flaws?" "He talks about flaws." "Ask first about his virtues." "Do you remember his grandfather?" "It's Shulmuneh Friedberg." "Do you remember... who's Shulmuheh?" "Firstly, he is a Jew with a good head on his shoulders, second, he's way ahead and third, he is head of the..." "You talked so much that I forgot to ask you..." " Ah, that's good." "What did you say about flaws?" " Flaws, nothing to speak of." "I think in his left eye he does not see so well." "What do you mean?" "The meaning is that in his right eye he sees exceptionally well." "And if I'm not mistaken his right leg is a little short." "Whose?" "Shulmuneh's?" " No, the boy's." "On the other hand his left leg is very long and I have no doubt that he is able to walk a straight and narrow path as well as any other boy." "And these are all his flaws?" "'Almost all." " Almost?" "He stutters a little bit." "Stutters?" " No not really." "Only when he speaks." "Apart from that he is a treasure." "Grab him before others grab him." " What troubles." "Don't get excited, Pinhasel" "What's this?" "What's going on?" "What's going on here?" "Congratulations!" "Leave me alone." "Leave me alone." "Get out of here." "Pinhasel what do you care that he has a long leg, and with the eye." "A groom has to know that he is a groom and all the rest isn't important." "I don't want a groom that stutters." "Ay, that gives him extra charm." "He doesn't talk too much like people do today." "What's important is the pedigree." "Think of the genealogy." "You see?" "The whole town is excited." "Don't you like the pedigree?" "The pedigree is fine but my wife is liable to say..." "A scandal!" "Kalman the matchmaker doesn't sell a cat in a bag." "Don't get upset." "This very night I will write to Shulmuneh and ask him to send his son Kuni Lemel straight to me, not to you, to me." "You can see how you like him." "If you don't want him, we'll send him back." "You'll see." "You'll be pleased with him." "Shulmuneh of Shikhrivkeh." "Quietly and carefully; so no one knows." "Greetings, Reb Pinhasel." "May it be an auspicious moment." ""Congratulations to Kalman." " Let me breathe a little." ""A match like this isn't made every day." ""Congratulations to Kalman." "Congratulations to the town." ""I have a groom for the lord."" ""Reb Kalman, you have done a great thing." ""An honor for the whole town." ""We'll slaughter three cows." ""Guests will come from all over the world." ""We'll bring merchandise from the capital and sell it all." ""The profession of a matchmaker is to grab your children." ""I'll find you a son-in-law to make your life miserable." ""You don't buy a cat in a bag." "You should know that." ""If the matter goes smoothly, there is nonetheless a fault." ""Why are they celebrating here?" "Why is everyone waving?" ""The wise one celebrates a coin." ""The groom grabs himself a bride." "The matchmaker gets cursed." ""Why?" " God only knows." "It's an honor for the whole town." "Certainly, certainly." "It's an honor for the whole town." "It's a shame, and a disgrace." "Hell, everything's lost." " What happened?" "The whole town is cheering." "Their chances are slim." "Imagine." "Lame, blind, and he stutters a little." " I know, I know." "I'm closer than you think to this Kuni Lemel." "What do you mean?" "Kuni Lemel is the stepson of my uncle Shulmuneh, that his second wife left him as an inheritance from her first husband." "Shulmuneh and my father are two brothers." "What do you know?" "Two brothers and two worlds." "Listen, I have an idea." "We'll disguise ourselves as bandits, and we'll ambush him on the way and tie him up and stash him away in some shack in the forest until he loses all will to get married." "But where is there a shack?" " We'll find one." "A small detail." "Better, we'll disguise ourselves as ghosts." "Imagine, all of us dressed up in robes, eh?" "But who has robes?" "Every plan that we have you ruin with your questions." "You'll soon want to meet him with an orchestra." "If I could only talk to Pinhasel quietly for half an hour." "But he doesn't let me even get close to him." "Maybe I should have disguised Myself as some... some emissary." "What emissary?" "A merchant, a merchant." "No, not a merchant." "A matchmaker." " Yah!" "I have an idea." "You should know that I heard everything that you discussed with Kalman the matchmaker." "And you should know that it's not nice to eavesdrop." "And to marry your daughter off to someone who is lame, blind and stutters, that's nice?" "Never mind, he has some minor faults, but..." "Maybe that's not all he has." " Rivka, I'm getting angry." "Get angry all you want." "My daughter is not marrying him." "She will so." " She will not." " She will." " She will not." "Dear famous governor, erudite scholar," "strong leader," "worthy, understanding and charitable." "I looked for him, I didn't find him." "Yes?" " Reb Shulmuneh, they're angry at him everywhere." "What?" " Just this morning he broke a window in Zelig the pharmacist's house." " Well?" "And stole Saraleh's, Gitel the seamstress's daughter's braids." "Apart from that, we have to get rid of him, and as soon as possible." "Wait." "Well?" "Look father, I made a mask for Purim by myself." "Very nice, but Simchat Torah is coming." "You can't ever tell when it might be useful." "Is this an activity for a boy like you, to play with animals?" "I'm not playing." "The dog came in by herself and gave birth." "That's it." "That's what?" "When he's hungry he doesn't let me sleep." "Throw it out." " That's not nice." "Maybe it'll be an orphan." "Stupid!" "You're going to be a groom and you're acting like a schoolboy." "Why is he calling me names?" " Who is calling you names?" "He just said that I'm Going to be a g... g..." "I'm too shy to say the word." "A groom, we're telling you!" "A groom!" "A letter has arrived from Kalman the matchmaker." "Come here." "Come." "Sit down." "Sit down." " OK, OK." "I'll read to you: "Dear famous governor, erudite scholar," ""strong leader, worthy, don't be excited"" "Who's being excited?" " What?" "Don't interrupt me." ""We have heard that your genealogy is impressive," ""and about your grandfather the saintly rabbi, and about..."" "What's the matter?" " No matter." "We'll think of something." "He closes, "Therefore it will be an honor for Reb Pinhasel" ""to be matched with an esteemed Jew like yourself."" "I knew that you... that... that..." "you were fooling with me." "In the letter it says that he wants to be matched with you." "That means that you'll be the g... g... the that thing." "So why do you say that I'll be The g... g... the that thing?" "Don't you understand?" " No." " It means that he has a maiden daughter, and he wants you to take her as a wife." "Why me?" "A good question, eh?" "They say that when a male child is born an echo comes out of the sky and declares the daughter of so-and-so to so-and-so." "And perhaps the daughter of..." "Reb Pi..." " Reb Pinhasel" "Reb Pinhasel is the one meant for you." "W... will there be an orchestra?" " Two." "One from Kabetzens, and one from Shikhrivkeh." "I myself will pay all the expenses." "You'll get new clothes and a solid silver watch." "Then it's really worthwhile." "Shulmuneh, how can you send someone like him who... who..." "St... st... stutters eh?" " Try to stutter less." "Who stutters?" "I st... st... stutter?" " No, I stutter." " That's right." "Never mind." "Just remember, for a groom, silence is a sign of wisdom." "In other words, shut up." "Just greet the in-laws." "It will be fine." "Listen, y... you be the in-law and I'll be Kuku." "I'm coming in and I say all at once "grr..."" "You say "grr..." very well." ""Greetings to you."" " Congratulations!" "Practice that sentence." "I implore you." "At least one sentence you'll know how to say properly." "G... g... good." "May I go now?" "Where are you going?" "To play a bit." " Yes, you can go." "And be it an auspicious moment." " G... g... good." "Thank you." "Tell me, tell me what happened." "Pinhasel, it seems, surprised them at a sensitive moment." "He grabbed the boy by the scruff of his neck and threw him out of the house." "And in front of the whole town." " That's nice?" "That's very nice." "Who is this teacher, eh?" " The teacher?" " Do I know him?" "The teacher?" "I think you know him." "Really?" "Well, who is this unlucky guy?" " It's your son, Max." "Who?" "You're joking, eh?" " I wish I were." "Do something, Doctor." "Not for me, but for your son, Max." "Something must be done." "Maybe you'll speak with Pinhasel or even better with the matchmaker." "With whom?" " With Reb Kalman, the matchmaker." " Hell." "Leibelah?" "Good morning, Doctor sir." " Good morning, Leibelah." "Is Reb Kalman home?" " No, he went to the post office." "Oh well, good." " Can I take a message, sir?" "No, no, no, some other time." "Leibelah, are you healthy?" "Yes, very healty." " Well good, another time." " Leibelah, Leibelah," "My Sabbath jacket, quickly!" " Reb Kalman!" "Reb Kalman!" "I wanted to speak with you." " Another time, another time." "Doctor, I'm very busy." " I'm Max's father." "I know, I know, but what would progressive people like yourself want with a poor matchmaker like me?" "But Reb Kalman, I wanted to tell you something that would interest you." " Another time." "About genealogy, about Max's pedigree, of course." "Doctor, look, lately I've been having a feeling, it starts here and passes here and passes again," " Alright, open your mouth." "Ah." "Stick out your tongue." "Say ah." "Well, some other time, Doctor." "I'm very busy, Doctor." "I'm very busy." "Where's the man of the house?" "I have news." "The man of the house is busy now." "Just one moment to give him the news." "The telegram." "It's imperative." "The groom will come in two days." "It's impossible." "He's fighting with the Mrs." "Since you made the match they haven't stopped shouting." "Only at night, for a few hours, they take a break, then they start all over again." "Well, listen, listen." " I don't hear anything." "That's it, exactly." "They are exhausted." "Where are you going, now?" " I'm going to take a walk." "There's no reason to walk, now." "Stay at home." "What do you want from the girl?" "She loves Max." "Max!" "Max!" "Nonsense." "Tell me did we play around with love before we married?" "God save us." "I know that I didn't love you before, I don't love you now and I hope I won't love you tomorrow." "And so what?" "Does it bother us?" " That's the problem." "Nothing bothers you." "In this house I have the say." " Who said so?" "I say that I have the say." " In your dreams, at night!" "Rivka this time I won't give in." " I'm won't give in either." "I won't give in!" " I won't give in!" "Reb Kalman the matchmaker is waiting." "He brought this." "He says the groom will arrive in two days." "Greetings to you Reb Kalman." " Greetings." " Sit down, please." "What's written here?" " Its from him, Reb Shulmuneh." "He writes:" "What does it mean?" "What language is that?" " It's Russian." "It means the groom is coming in two days." "He writes:" ""We sent our beloved son on this auspicious occasion." ""Warm regards to the in-law the great lord, the wise and clever" ""Reb Pinhasel" That's you." ""Yours in love," ""Shulmuneh Friedberg, Head of the community of Shikhrivkeh."" "That's him, "Great-grandson of the great rabbi of Meternsprat."" "Well?" " All this is written here?" " Certainly." " That good?" "That's good." " That's good." " That's good." "Max, I knew you'd come in spite of everything." "I love you." "I love you, too, Carolina." "But we'll have to talk fast." "Even all day long." "I'm not afraid." "If they force me to marry Kuni Lemel I'll..." "I'll do something terrible." "I'll kill myself." "I won't eat." "I'll never love him like I love you." "Listen." "My friends will follow Kuni Lemel on the road" "And I'll come instead of him." "Do you understand?" " No." "I'll be disguised as Kuni Lemel." "I'll limp like him." "I'll stutter like him." "I'll pretend to be blind like him." "And I'll go to Reb Kalman's house and he will bring me to your house." "Won't you be recognized?" "You yourself won't recognize me." "You'll fool my father." " Carolina, quickly." "Goodbye, Max." " Goodbye, Carolina." "God willing, early tomorrow morning you'll come to take him straight to Kabetzens." "Fine." "Goodbye Reb Shulmuneh." " Goodbye, goodbye." "Greetings, Kuni Lemel." "Greetings, Reb Scherer." "Well?" " It's as if it were made for him." " Yes." "I'll just shorten this a little." " Yes." " And this a little." "The trousers are fine." "And this the jacket will cover, and it will be fine." "Congratulations." "Do it and be Finished." "But Reb Shulmuneh, This is Ashberk's suit." "I promised it to him tomorrow morning." "What will I say to him?" "Tell him you burned a hole in it While ironing." "I burned a hole while ironing?" " Finish the suit." "Find excuses later." "At least he looks like a well-bred person." "Have you been practicing?" "Y... yes." "Until I reach "Shhh"" "Quiet." "Come." "Should I give him money for an inn?" "What?" "Are you out of your mind?" "Where will he live?" "Perhaps with your brother the doctor." "No." "By no means." "Fine, he'll stay at an inn." "Write a letter to the matchmaker." "Alright, I'll write him." "Come." "Once there was a wise Greek whose name was Denostenus," "And he stuttered like you." "He did this." "He filled his mouth with gravel and..." "A bit more, a bit more..." "Try, try again." "Well, It doesn't sound bad." "Now take the nuts out of your mouth all at once." "And say "shalom and greetings"." "Shalom and greetings." "Unbelievable." "Shalom and greetings." "Shalom and greetings." "Shhh... and greetings." "Congratulations." "Congratulations." "It will be OK." "It's in the bag." "Carolina." " Max." "How did you get up here?" "It's OK." "They're holding me." " I love you, Max." "I love you too, but I can't hold on much longer." "We can't, either." "What's going to happen, Max?" "My father certainly won't give in." "Usually my mother decides everything but this time he's being stubborn." "Plates have flown in the house." "He won't let me leave the house." "Max, finish up already." "He's going to wear us out." "I told you." "Tomorrow will be the signal." " Yes." "Pas, Luksh, Professor and Bereleh will do everything." "I told you." "I will become Kuni Lemel." "But why Max?" "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" "Now she finds time to ask why... why?" "I can't hold on any longer." "Ay, you're stepping on my foot." "Lift me up." "I don't like this whole thing with Kuni Lemel." "You don't know my father." "I'm afraid." "If Reb Pinhasel insists that he wants Kuni Lemel he'll get him." "And mother?" "What do I tell my mother?" "In time you'll tell her everything." "Do you understand?" "In war and love everything..." "Are you alright, Max?" "I'm OK." "I didn't get hurt at all." "Goodbye Max." "The leg is alright already." "What about the gate?" "Come on."

"Ah, lame and stuttering and suddenly you're cured." "What's going on?" "My father matches you with" "Pinhasel's daughter and you're accosting me." "The fact I'm cured is a sign that you are meant to be my mate." "Intended by heaven, and not Reb Pinhasel's daughter." "While traveling here an Incident happened." "A few Chassids got on the wagon." "They were going to Boldrik to see the saintly Rabbi Noah, a maker of miracles." "I said I'll go too, to receive The Rabbi's blessing and congratulations." "We were traveling all night and Suddenly a Godly slumber fell on us, and when we fell asleep the saintly Rabbi appeared in a dream and said..." "Do you want to hear?" "He gave me a sign, that when I see the girl intended for me" "I will be like any other person for three full hours." "Not lame, not blind and not stuttering so I can speak to her heart as a groom always does with a bride." "And afterwards?" " Afterwards I'll return to the way I was, but in the eyes of my bride I'll always stay not lame, not blind and not stuttering." "A miracle." "A miracle was made for you from heaven."

"Scram." "The real Kuni Lemel has arrived." "He disappeared." " Good riddance." "You were looking for a pedigree?" "Genealogy?" "Some pedigree?" "Yes, we fell into a trap." "And so, daughter, if you don't want him by any means" "I'll give in to you." "But I do want him Father." "There's something special about him." "He bewitched the child." "How can you explain it otherwise?" "Congratulations, congratulations." "He's here." "He's here." "Who?" " What do you mean "who"?" "Kuni Lemel." "This morning he arrived at my house." "He's waiting for you." "Hurry up, get dressed and come with me." "Tzipi Leah, the lady's clothes." "Ah, Tzipi Leah, the carriage, the carriage" "What do you mean, "He arrived and is sitting at my house"." "I told you." "The groom came to my house." "But just a moment ago he was here at our house." "I swear." " But he sat on the Couch." "And the girl was there." "Here are the refreshments." "I served them myself." "But Leibelah gave him something to eat," "He is sitting and drinking tea at my house." "No, at our house." " No, at my house." "Our house!" " My house!" " Our house!" " My house!" " Our house!" " My house!" "Our house!" " My house!" " Our house!" " So?" "Reb Pinhasel, They mocked you." "They made fun of you." "Kuni Lemel is at my house." "He brought with him a letter From Shulmuneh from Shikhrivkeh." "He sat and talked with the girl." "He drove her crazy." "A fine match you found for us, Reb Kalman." "It would have been better if you had matched this idiot with your daughter." "He has such a wonderful soul." "I wanted to kiss him." "And suddenly he disappeared." " Ah?" "Oy." " You're telling me?" "We'll go to my house and you'll see he's there." "Rivka, let's go." " Pinya." "I ordered the carriage." " Idiot, why are you interfering?" "Get her coat, not the carriage." "Pinya." "Where do you want to go, son." " I..." "I want to go home." "Where is "home"?" " I..." "I'm looking for Reb Sch..." "Sch..." "Scherer." "He already went back." " Then how will I get home?" "I'm Ku..." "Ku..." "Ku..." "Ku..." "Ku..." "Kuni Lemel." "I'll take you soon." "Scherer took a room for you at the Inn." "Did you see your bride?" "Y... y..." "yes." "She's c... c..." " Cute ah?" "No, she's s... s..." " Smart ah?" "She's brazen." " Really?" " Yes." "She tried to kiss me on the neck." "And you're running away from one like that?" "Yes, but before the wedding." "Sit here." "Eat first and afterwards you'll go." "G... g... good." "Leibelah!" "Reb Kuni Lemel." "Reb Pinhasel and his wife came." "Greetings, Reb Pinhasel." "What greetings?" "Where is he?" "Where is he?" " Is he inside?" " He's... inside." "Bring him." " Right away." "Leiblelah!" "I hope your eyes are opened so you can see what you are doing to your daughter." "Why is he taking so long?" "Reb Kalman!" "Reb Kalman!" "So?" " What so?" "Where is he?" " Don't get upset Reb Pinhasel," "But he's gone." "I went to tell you and now he's gone." "Disappeared, my daughter too." "Oh!" "Where is he?" "Who?" " That lame one." " The groom." "Kuni Lemel." "It wasn't Kuni Lemel, it was my groom." "He disappeared." "Disappeared!" "?" " What do you mean "disappeared"?" "Like in a fairy tale." "First he changed himself completely, as if he turned into another person and suddenly disappeared." "I guess the three hours that Heaven gave him were over." "What is this nonsense she's saying." "Leibelah, are you sick, God forbid." "No father, I'm in love." "But he'll come back." "I'm certain that he will return." "Carolina..." "Carolina..." "Who's there?" "You came back." " Of course I came back." "But you forgot to stutter." "The went to look for you." "Where did you run off to before?" "Everything went beautifully." "It wasn't me." "It was the real Kuni Lemel." "The real one?" " The one and only." " I kissed him." "Ah, and he... - almost fainted." "He shouted "gevald" and ran away." "Then try again." "Maybe this time it will be better." "Oh... woe is me, he's choking my br... br... bride." "Just like me." " Just like me." "Just like me." " Just like me." "Wh..." "Who are you?" " Who are you?" " Who am I?" "Kuni Lemel." "Shulmuneh from Shikhrivkeh's son." "I'm Kuni Lemel Shulmuneh from Shikhrivkeh's son." "My God, my bride calls me Max and he says that he's Kuni Lemel." "If you're Kuni Lemel then who am I?" "I don't know who you are." "I only know who I am." "I'm Kuni Lemel." "I..." "I..." "I'm Kuni Lemel." " I'm Kuni Lemel." "I..." "I..." "I'm Kuni Lemel." "How can you prove to me that you are really Kuni Lemel." "Smart guy, everyone knows that Kuni Lemel has a bad eye, limps" "And st... st... that's it a little when he talks." "I have a bad eye, I limp, and I st... st... that's it, when I talk." "Gosh, if I didn't know that I was me, I'd think you were me." "You must have disguised yourself as Kuni Lemel." "I swear to you th... th... that I was born Kuni Lemel." "Sh..." "Shulmuneh calls me Kuni Lemel And Kalman the matchmaker sent a special letter that I should come take the... dowry for a wife... th... the opposite." "Right." "If you're really Kuni Lemel, show me the letter." "The le..." "letter got lost." "Here is the letter." " M... m... right." "In your place I'd be af... af..." " afraid." " Right." "There are laws." "Just a moment." " No moments." "We'll soon see who is the fraud." "Reb Pinhasel!" "Reb Pinhasel!" " Look Kuni Lemel, why all this trouble?" "I'll go home and bring proof that I'm you and you're m... me." "No, no, no." "The opposite." "That I, ah, you." "That's something else." "G... g... good." "What do we do now?" " I'm going to check in at the Inn." "You do only one thing?" "Whatever they speak to you and whatever they say to you, you'll only say:" "I want Kuni Lemel." "I want only Kuni Lemel." "It seems he really is Kuni Lemel." "Pinhasel, what are we doing here." "What are we waiting for." "Just a few more moments." "Kalman will come back in a minute." "Maybe somebody saw him." "And if they saw him, then what?" "If he disappeared once, it is enough but he disappeared twice." "That's twice as good." "Pinhasel, let's go." "This story will make us the laughingstock of the whole town." "Let's go before everybody knows that we're involved in the affair." "Maybe you're right." "OK." "We'll go." "Come." "I saw two at the same time." "I saw two at the same time." "I saw two..." "There are Jews who didn't see him at all." "There are Jews who saw him once." "And there are Jews who saw him twice at the same time." "I saw him at the cattle market." " I saw two of them at the same time." " It's impossible that they... two fools." "Good God." "Who cares." "I'll turn all of Kabetzens upside down." "Even if the earth swallowed him, it will regurgitate him back." "Reb Pinhasel, Reb Pinhasel," "I myself am afraid to say things like this but perhaps one of the thirty-six." "Perhaps, the intended for your daughter is one of the 36 saintly ones by whose credit the world exists." "Right," "And they are known to change shape and appearance and from time to time disappear." "Look into this, Reb Pinhasel." "Everything is written about us for the best." "Maybe he simply went home to Shikhrivkeh." "I myself will rent a wagon and go to Shikhrivkeh." "Reb Pinhasel..." " Go." ""He'll be a husband to me." "A good hearted husband." ""He'll buy me shoes, high-heeled shoes." ""And a dress with a ribbon he'll bring me a present." ""I'll walk like a lady among my friends." ""If he'd only appear, God willing." ""If he'd only appear all this would come to be." ""This one will say: 'what a fancy coquette'" ""This one will say: 'Leave her be the snob'" ""and another one will cry from jealousy endlessly." ""And I the lady will walk down the street." ""If he'd only appear, God willing." ""If he'd only appear all this would come to be." ""If he'd only appear, God willing." ""If he'd only appear all this would come to be." ""All this would come to be, all this would come to be." "Oy Kuni Lemel, What are you doing, here?" "You startled me, Reb Todris." " Shulmuneh went to Kabetzens." "Why?" "Reb Kalman, the matchmaker was here." "Afterwards they all went back." "The Shikhrivkeh orchestra went too." "They say to your wedding." "What wedding?" "N... nobody's here?" " I'm guarding here." "Did you go to Kabetzens to see your bride?" "Yes, b... but there they say I'm not the real Kuni Lemel." "All of us are witnesses that you are the real Kuni Lemel, the one and only." "Go back to Kabetzens quickly." "Don't let them rob you of your name." " What will I do now?" "Come to my house." "Sleep there." "No." "I'll stay here." "Maybe they'll come back." "As you wish." "I myself don't know who I am anymore." "He says that he's Ku..." "Kuni Lemel and I say that I am." "One or the other of us is I..." "I..." "I... isn't telling the truth." "The whole thing is very very st... st... st... odd." ""I was Kuni Lemel still in my childhood" ""They called me Kuni Lemel to my enjoyment" ""And why would somebody want to steal my name" ""as if Ku..." "Kuni Lemel" ""were somebody important." ""They say that I'm not me." "That's why I'm afraid." ""Because if I'm not me then who am I altogether." ""They say that he is not he." "That's why he's afraid." ""Because if he isn't he then who is he altogether." "Who are you?" " Kuni Lemel." "Who are you?" " Kuni Lemel." "And you?" " Kuni Lemel." "And you?" " Kuni Lemel." "What's this?" "The whole world is Kuni Lemel." ""The title Kuni Lemel goes before me." ""Because of the Kuni Lemel my eyes darken." ""I thought Kuni Lemel was the only one in my form." ""And behold Ku..." "Ku..." "Kuni Lemels" ""Sprout up in front of me." ""They say that I'm not me." "That's why I'm afraid." ""Because if I'm not me, then who am I altogether?" ""They say that he is not he." "That's why he's afraid." ""Because if he isn't he, then who is he altogether?" ""A ma... magic spell you spun, man or Satan." ""My b... b... bride you choked in front of the groom." ""Which Kuni Lemel is to blame for all this?" ""And which Ku..." "Ku..." "Kuni Lemel will have to suffer?" ""They say that I'm not me." "That's why I'm afraid." ""Because if I'm not me, then who am I altogether?" ""They say that he is not he." "That's why he's afraid." ""Because if he isn't he, then who is he altogether?" "Woe is me." "Woe is me." "Woe is me." "He's coming" "Scatter!" "What's going on here?" "Who's that there." "What?" "He's still here?" "No mother, it's not Kuni Lemel." " Then who?" " It's Max." "Max?" "What in the hell is going on here?" "Quiet, mother." "In a minute I'll explain everything to you." "Woe is me!" "Woe is me!" " Who's that?" " Woe is me!" "Kuni Lemel, what are you Doing here?" "Excuse me Reb Pinhasel." "Don't bother me right now." "I'm about to make contact with ghosts." "In my yard?" "Have you gone crazy?" "Kuni Lemel, where did you disappear to this morning?" "Do you want me as a groom for your daughter?" " Oy." "Just say no, and I'll disappear again immediately." "Kuni Lemel." "Don't disappear." "What's that." "That's him." "You must shake my hand that you give me your daughters hand in marriage." "I'm ready and willing." "But we shake hand in the presence of ghosts." "Ghosts?" "I'm afraid I will slip up or something." "If you stand next to me nothing will happen to you." ""Supreme ghosts, hear me" ""Spirits of my family, reveal yourselves to me." ""Reveal." " Oy!" " Reveal." " Oy!" ""Reveal yourselves." ""Oy vey!" "Oy vey!" "He is addressing the supreme spirits." ""Do not fear." "Hold on to me as the voice is answered." "Ghosts!" "Ghosts!" "Oy!" "That wasn't me." "That was a real one." "What about the groom?" " Yes, I was at the inn." "I wanted to talk to him but he's in his room with a high fever." "He has a sore throat." "He didn't even let me in." "We'll get a doctor." "We have one." " Yes, yes, I know, but he'll get over it." " Reb Shulmuneh, at home in Shikhrivkeh..." " Yes?" "Would he sometimes talk with spirits?" "With whom?" " Spirits." " What?"
