"Let's play the game, come on, it'll pass the time on the watch." "OK?" "You do what I do, and if you win, I'll give you whatever you want." "Let's start." "But no talking, OK?" "No talking." "OK." "What is it, what's going on over there?" "Is that Ronny's car?" " Yeah." "Your boyfriend is such a jerk, he almost raped me." "Luckily, I'm a Bimbo, I won't make a fuss." "Good night, Ma'am." "Son of a bitch!" "Shuli, you pulled a trick!" "You're crazy, she'll kill you!" "No, honey, she won't kill me, you know why?" "Why?" "Because from now on, we're the same shit, come on." "This platoon is falling apart, and I won't stand for it, even if half of you go to jail!" "What happened was a disgrace!" "Personal scores in the army?" "A big mess during the watch?" "It won't work." "So, for starters, you're all going to kitchen duty." "Karen, Anna and Shuli are confined, they'll spend their night off here, with lots of time to think." "Shosh, the platoon is all yours." "Platoon 3, close ranks!" "Close!" "Platoon, face left." "Left!" "In place, left, right, left..." " Poor Yigal, he's waiting for me." "His whole body probably mad at me." "Don't worry, you'll see, we'll have fun." "Do you really think he's her boyfriend?" "Why are you bullshiting her?" "You know, he's such a hunk and she's a big potato." " But he'll come tonight." "If he comes, I'm wonderwoman." " No, honey, if he comes, you run around naked, with only a helmet and rifle, when I say so, we're on?" " And if he doesn't come?" "Than I'll run naked!" " Wait, he might not be able to come over tonight." " Hold on..." "No, we made a bet!" "Looks like I'm screwed." " So you'll run around naked." "So what?" "You've got a nice figure." "Forwards, march!" "Left, right..." "Good..." "Sir!" "By the way, Niva, your audition is tomorrow morning." "What audition?" " For the army troupe." "But I'm not even ready!" " You have all night at home, good luck!" "Girls, who has a valium?" "I'm so nervous!" "Valium, huh?" "I'll give you speed, go over there!" "It's OK, they're in good hands." "Girls, welcome to the kitchen!" "I'm the commander in here!" "You have one hour to wash up, peel the potatoes, cut the salad, scrub the floor and let me know you're done, clear?" "Wait, what'll you be doing?" " Are you here to joke with me?" "I have your kind for breakfast!" " Bon Appetite, you dwarf." "What did you say?" " I wanted your address." "I wouldn't give my address to a broad like you." "What girl would want it?" " What was that?" "I asked if you're married." " I wouldn't marry a broad like you!" "Who needs you..." " Get to work!" "You, the floor!" "Me?" "Who, me?" "You and you, potatoes!" " Me?" "You and you and you, salad!" "Are we clear?" " Wait, what about me and me?" "What'd you say?" " Salad." "Good." "What are you doing after Basic?" " Pilot training." "Really?" "Great!" "A "broad" like me won't get anywhere." "Shuli, get over this Complex already, will you?" "What's a complex?" " A complex is... a complication, being totally screwed up." "Never mind, go on." " What is it?" "A complication is when you're fucked in the head." "Like you are." "Say, what's up with you, huh?" "If you keep singing like that, pulling strings with God won't even help." "What's up, you wanna sing for your daddy?" "No, it's just hard for me." " Hard for you?" "Know what?" "Get up, we'll try singing together." "What do you say?" "Come on, get up, don't be lazy." "Sing like this, see?" "What's up with her, getting all depressed on us?" "I think we should give her an up-beat song, what's that Rod Stewart song?" " Sexy?" "Yes, the sexy song." "Come on, Niva!" "Girls, what are you doing?" "This isn't a brothel, it's a kitchen!" "Stop it, this isn't a disco!" "I'll report this, you hear me?" "!" "I'll report you, what're you doing?" "Take him!" "Put him in the pot, Niva, now!" "Stop it, I'm the drill sergeant!" "Help!" "Girls, hold your fire!" "What's going on here?" "Form ranks in front of me!" "They pushed me into the pot." "Forced me to dance with them and sprayed water on my uniform, they ruined my uniform!" " Got it." "Silence!" "I don't want your platoon here, get them out of here!" "I'll report all there broads!" "Pay attention, delinquents." " Delinquents!" "As a reminder of what you're here to do and why, we'll make this short." "Short!" "Everyone at attention!" " Attention!" "Face right!" "Right!" " Farword, march!" "March!" "Left, right, left..." " Left, right, left..." "Our suggestion, is not to waist time and effort on a struggle, it only turns the attacker on." "It's best to wait for the right moment, hit and run!" "Anna, come here." " Who'd wanna rape Anna?" "Don't worry about me, I'll find someone..." "Anna, you be the attacker." "Try to knock me down, OK?" "Forcefully, come on." "Concentrate all your strength and effort into one thing only, hitting the attacker in the testicles." "After that, comes the push, another kick and run!" "Don't wait for anything." "Ma'am, what if he's good looking?" " Then leave him your number." "OK." "Go on, sit down." "Let's try this again." "Shuli, come on." "This time, I'll be the attacker and you'll be the one that gets raped." "This is familiar, isn't it?" "Or have you never resisted?" "Care to try again?" "What's going on here?" "!" " She's crazy, she nearly killed her, she's out of her mind!" "Break it up!" "Everybody back to the barracks, be ready to leave in an hour." "Move!" "Come on, Shuli, let's go to the barracks." "You've gotta report this, Shuli." "No, forget it." "Not only have I ruined everything for her with her boyfriend, now I'll report her as well?" "Look at what's happening to you, transfer to a different platoon." "I'm not going anywhere." "What if Shuli reports you?" " She won't report." "We speak the same language." "I'm sorry for messing up your vacation." "Don't worry, Shuli, we'll get you back." "You know, I quite like it here, this is real Israel." "What are you talking about?" "Real Israel is where I came from, and where that guy that was here Saturday is from, Moshe." "He loves you very much, right, Shuli?" "Yes." "You know, I have Moshe since I was 15 years old." "He's like a kindergarten teacher, looks after me, treats me kindly, buys me cloths, anything to keep me from growing up." "The problem is his life ends at the bus station to Tel-Aviv, and I won't end my life like this, between laundry and grocery shopping, with 5 kids till I'm 30 and that'd the end of it." "I deserve a little more, right?" "And if I don't," "I'll take it by force." "Just like the guy from the kitchen says: "A broad like Talia won't" ""make me trash."" " Shuli, do you want my Yigal for a week?" "Hey, what about Yigal?" "Did you call him, or am I going to have to run naked?" " You know, it's really boring here, it wouldn't hurt to see a girl running around naked, a beautiful girl like you." "Anyway, I already told you" "You have a great body!" " Screw you, bitch!" "Why didn't you tell me Yigal isn't coming?" "!" "Yigal!" "Stop it, Yigal!" " You called for me, Anna?" "Yigal?" "Yigal!" "Yigal." "I can't believe it." "Boy, am I gonna make Shuli run, naked, on the last day, in front of everybody!" " What if there really is an Yigal?" "There really is an Yigal, don't you get it?" "The Russian fatty cut his picture from the paper, that's where he is, in the paper." " You're right, just in the paper." "They're coming!" " Be quiet now." "Anushka, asleep so early, sweetie?" "Why, were you sad?" "Yigal didn't come?" " Don't worry, sweetie, till he comes, Shuli will run naked and brighten your day." "Isn't that right, Anushka?" " Wrong!" "Wrong!" "Yigal..." " It's Yigal!" "Yes, it's Yigal, Anna's boyfriend!" "No, our little Rina will run whenever our little Shuli says so, isn't that right, Anushka?" " Right!" "Wait here, OK?" " Niva, are you sure about this?" "I just don't want you to regret this later on." "I won't regret it, I'm a big girl now, a soldier." "Everybody up!" "Take positions!" "Hey, it's Niva, did she finish already?" "Next group, get ready." "Come on, Shuli, you're going to the audition instead of me, my dad is waiting at the gate with the car." "What are you babbling about?" "It's your audition, you'll do great and that's that!" " Shuli, I won't do great, cause I'm not a singer." "I just wanted to be in the Troupe in order to be in, to see my name in the paper." "So I'm going to try at the army radio, my dad knows someone there." "What's the difference?" " You're the difference." "Listen, I'm just a shower singer so forget it, OK?" "Shuli, and I'm daddy's singer." " Can we get on with target practice?" "You can tell your dad to leave, the kid prefers showers." "What did you say?" " I said, that to get out of this shit, you need guts, and that's not your turf." "Next group, take your place!" "Ma'am?" "Can I have a leave for a couple of hours?" "I have an audition for the Army Troupe." " Affirmative." "Get dressed." "You're back by five, A minute later and you're grounded." "And good luck!" "Thank you, Talia, Ma'am." "Can she even sing?" " If there's something this good-for-nothing can do, is sing." "At the targets, from the shoulder, 3 bullets at the target." "Prepare for single round firing." "Fire when ready!" "What about you?" " I can't." "Get up." "Imagine you're alone..." " Yes." "At night..." "Yes." "And behind you, in the bushes, the enemy is approaching." "Yes." "I can't, come on." " Anna, what if I told you..." "Yes." "That the enemy is really from the K.G.B?" "K.G.B?" "!" "Shirley Golan?" "Yes." "What do you see there?" "Do you know how much dust the body absorbs is such a place?" "Dust and sweat mingle together and turn to mud." "People don't realize that they're worst enemy is dirt!" "They don't empty ashtrays, they ignore all kinds of stains, the ashtrays fill up, the stains spread and then it's too late and you find yourself surrounded!" " What will you do if you get a discharge?" " I don't know, maybe school..." "but first of all, cleaning!" "How long have you been using drugs?" " I'm not using anything... you see, sometimes I have to take something just to relax." "You know, it's hard for me with all this dirt... then some stain appears and I just have to." "Now it's clean." "That's enough." "I didn't get to my pirouette." " Never mind." "Next." "What's your name?" " Shaul..." "Niva Mor." "OK, we're listening." "No, no, I'll give you a key, An intro and then you start, OK?" "Listen, she's good." " That's David Mor's daughter." "She's great." "That's enough." " but I didn't get to the chorus yet." "We know the chorus, thank you." "Well?" "They stopped me halfway through the song." "That doesn't mean anything, they're swamp." "Forget it, your daughter, Niva, would have passed." "I'm just screwing people's lives." " Look, it was all her idea, let's just go." " No, no, thank you, no way." "I'll get back by myself, Thank you, really, thanks a lot." "Bye." " Dudu!" "Yochi, what are you doing here?" " What am I doing here?" "Whatever's left in this country, entertainment." "Natke didn't tell me you were here." " Army secret." "But he did tell me:" ""Don't make a fuss," ""Let David Mor's daughter pass." Her name's Niva, right?" "Yes, Niva." "I really hope you didn't make a big deal out of it..." "She's in, buddy, she's in." "She passed?" "!" "What are you on about?" "She's some singer!" "Where is she?" "She's on her way back to the base, sure she failed." "Where're the phone?" " Over there." "OK, bye, Yochi." "What?" "OK." "There isn't a dull moment in your platoon." "Niva's father called and said Shuli passed Niva's audition?" "Great!" "What's great?" "I don't get it, who passed what?" "I'll explain later, it's part of the enigma that is platoon 3." "I really don't understand what's going on here!" "There are two Canadians outside, waiting to take Karen Kaufman to the airport." " What's he talking about?" "Karen's going back to Canada." "Her dad got all the way through to the Foreign Affairs' office, who turned to the Sergeant General." "In other words, there's an order to send her." "She's not gonna like it." " Neither do I, but there's nothing we can do, we're not her parents." "Get her." "Have a seat, please." "Talia, another piece of your puzzle," "Shirley has to return her equipment, she's getting a discharge." "She'll love it..." "Awful gas..." " You know, I had a friend that got massed at the "Peace Now" protest, she was sick for 2 days, crying." "She deserves it, a traitor to this country." "Is Shuli here?" " She's not back yet, Ma'am, why?" "She passes her audition." "Karen, come here." " Yes, Ma'am." "That's great." " Fasten your masks..." "But I don't want to go back, it hate it there!" "I'm really sorry." " You don't understand, this is my home, a little worn, a little dirty, but it's home!" "I might be naive, but I still Think Jews have no other place!" "I'm sorry." "I suggest you say Goodbye to the girls and get ready, the plane is leaving in a couple of hours and the Embassy people look pretty panicked." "I'll meet you at the car in 15 minutes, OK?" "Karen, come on, everybody's waiting for you!" "Karen, what's wrong?" " Nothing, they called from Canada." "That's it, put on your mask And go inside." "Come on girls, close ranks." " Nobody takes off her mask before I say so, cause this gas is a little dangerous." "When I call your name, you remove your mask, give out your number, close your eyes and get out when I say so." "Are we clear?" "Niva?" " Niva Mor, 5765796." "Outside!" "Anna?" "Anna Sokolva, 5735790." " Outside, outside!" "Karen?" "Karen?" "Karen, what happened?" "Karen..." "Why did you remove your mask?" "Hey, Shuli!" "Shuli, Shuli!" " Come sit with us." "Hi." "I'm back." " You're in my way." "I'm sorry for embarrassing you, OK?" "No, not OK, it's already in your blood." "Excuse me, but I have to work." "I'm in your way, huh?" " Yeah." "Fine." "What's up?" " Great." "What can I say, the Army isn't for me," "I gave them trouble so I took a little leave, why not?" "Wanna beer?" " Want isn't the word." "Get us 4 beers." " And a shot of brandy!" "What's up?" "Here's to Shuli's army!" "How am I?" "You're fine, Karen, you survived." "But I can't move, right?" " Or fly." "That's an order!" "Are the Embassy people still waiting for me?" "No, they already left." " Where's Shuli?" "Shuli isn't here yet." "My dad called and said she left" "The audition pretty upset cause she thought she failed." "If I know Shuli, she can get in trouble." "I say we wait till the evening, and if she isn't back by then, we'll ask the commander to let us go look for her." "Yeah, right, as if Talia would let us." " Here she comes!" "How are you feeling, Karen?" " Thank you, Ma'am." "Did you turn in your equipment?" "Yes." " Here is you exit pass, and the discharge papers, happy now?" "I'm not sure we'll ever meet again, but I'm sure you'll remember this room and Karen who traveled thousands of mile to get here and was willing to go all the way to stay." "And you, I understand you have cleaning issues." "Then you have a problem, cause the only dirt here you'll be taking with you." "Did you want anything?" "I just wanted to ask Karen... whether she'd lend me her equipment... till the supply department opens tomorrow." "Should we go to the villa?" " Yeah, I'm tired of this place." "Let's go to the villa." " Take me to the base, Haim." "Trust me, but first we'll pass through the villa, have a little barbeque, get our strength." "My knapsack..." "Haim, she's as high as a kite, I'll take her to the base." "High or not, she's coming with me!" " Haim, you're not taking her to the villa, you hear?" " Moshe, she's coming with me!" "Look what happened to Moshe?" " It's cause of the produce mess." "Haim, why ask for trouble?" " Moshe!" "This is a punitive mission, I'm not letting the mess go on." "We're going on a reconnaissance mission to the Kiryat Malachi area." "If anyone messes up, it's straight to jail, clear?" "Clear." "Board the vehicle." "Wait for me!" "Wait for me, Ma'am!" "You're staying here!" " But, Ma'am, I made trouble, too." "Mostly to myself." "Please, Ma'am..." "Alright, hop on." " Thanks, Ma'am, thank you." "Come on, Shirley." " Wait, hold it!" "Ma'am, I wanna go to war, too." " Ok, hold on tight." "Thanks, Ma'am." "What's this suppose to be?" " Talia took the trouble girls on a reconnaissance mission." " About time!" "Has Shuli Hazan returned?" " Not yet, but her boyfriend called, she's on her way here." " If she's not here by midnight," "I'm alerting the military police and that's a different matter." "Here, Shuli." " Forget it." "What's the matter, you're out?" " I don't wanna." "Look at her, a rag is livelier than her." "Even rags can be squeezed." "Good morning, how are you?" " What do you want?" "!" "He doesn't want a thing, but I'm horny for you." "Come on, Haim, forget it, take me back to the base." "It's late, I have to get back." " Why, do you want it by force?" "You I like it that way." " Stop it, Haim, you promised to take me back to the base." " I will, but first some fun, then I'll take you there." " No, no, I have to get to the base." "That's not nice, running away when we've only just begun." "But I have to get to the base, it's late, Haim, No!" "No, Haim, leave me alone!" "I don't wanna!" "don't be scared!" "Really, they brought girls instead of soldiers." "They'll eat you alive!" " We'll see about that!" "Follow me, quietly." "Shuli, you know I like it hard." " No, Haim, stop it!" "I'm begging!" "Karen?" "Karen?" "The tires, Karen." " Yes." "Yossi, go see what's going on." " Forget it, go on." "The masks." "Yossi, take a look outside." "Anna, the door!" "E.T!" "Don't move!" "Hand up or I shoot!" "What you just witnessed was a drill for 7 soldiers, we have a couple more hundreds in the base, that would love to try it on you, if you get fresh." "So, from now on, Shuli Hazan is off-limits!" "And that's an order!" "OK, girls, I've got your back." "Come on, Shirley." " Just a second, Ma'am." "Stop, we're not done yet." " What do you mean?" "You're not going anywhere!" " What?" "Strip!" "What's your problem?" " No problem, strip!" "Alright, alright!" "Pants too!" " What are you talking about?" "Are you crazy?" " OK, OK..." "All of it, underwear's too." "I wanna see how manly you are." "What's your problem?" " This too?" "What?" "Your Army's A OK, take care of it!" "Damn it, girls, I don't deserve this." "No one leaves my platoon!" "or me." "Clear?" "Clear!" "You'll ruin your voice with all this crying." "This voice screwed up your audition!" "You passes, silly." "I what?" "You passed!" " Yeah, you passed!" "I passed?" "Yes." "You passed!" " I passed?" "!" "Yes!" "Shirley, what are you doing here?" " I decided to stay with you guys!" "Seriously?" "Gee, Shirley, you're OK!" "But how about letting your hair grow a bit, be human." "OK." "Good." "OK, girls, hold on tight, we're moving!" "Excuse me, Ma'am, can we stop for food on the way?" "One, unauthorized use of an army vehicle." "Two, taking soldiers out of the base without permission." "Three, attack of civilian target." "Four, unauthorized use of tear gas." "Five, causing bodily harm to civilians." "Six, absence from staff meeting." "What's that got to do with it?" " What's all this noise?" "Hell, no, let Talia go!" "Did you organize this?" " No, Ma'am." "Talia is number one!" "You've got one united platoon." "Alright, the verdict." " But I haven't..." "The verdict!" "Next time you do something like this, take me along, will you?" "Yes, Ma'am." " Well, what are you waiting for?" "Go out there and silence this demonstration." "Hell no, let Talia go!" "Talia!" "Talia!" "Cut the crap!" "Line up in threes!" "Thank you." "Face left!" "Forwards, march!" "Left, right, left..." "Attention!" "Ma'am, the platoon is ready for orders." "This is it, basic training ends today." "But your army service is just beginning." "You arrived here as strangers, strange ones, and you've become a united group of soldiers." "We part now, I don't know if we'll meet again, maybe at some bus station..." "I'll call out your assignments." "Shuli, army troupe." "Niva, army radio." "Here you go." " Thank you, Ma'am." "Shirley, medical training." "Shirley." " Thank you." "Anna, physical training." " There you go." "Karen, Nahal settling." "Galia, squad leader training." " There you go." "Me?" "A squad leader?" "Rina, parachute packing unit." " Where's Rina?"

"Left, right, left..." "What about you?" " What about me?" "Ma'am, I thought I'd give you these as a souvenir." "Thank you very much, Talia, Ma'am." "Go on, you'll be late." "Hooray for platoon 3!"
