"So, before departing from him I thought I'd wait for Mrs. Hope." "Indeed, murderers always return to the scene of the crime." "And the time had certainly come for us to finally meet." "So I poured myself a drink, and sat down to wait for her." "Within two minutes, she arrived." "I've heard a lot about you." " Really?" "Don't believe anything." "We had a common friend, Mr. Boni." "I didn't know I had friends." "We had a common friend, Mr. Boni." "Why did you kill him?" "The same reason I'm about to kill you." "And what is the reason?" " Self defense." "Take the gun from the drawer and place it on the table." "You're difficult, aren't you?" "Also the gun in your jacket." " What's with it?" "I want to get to know it." "Take it out." "How about some mercy?" " What about that?" "Is there any point in asking?" "Go ahead, try." "I'm sorry, for everything." " It's too late." "I see you're hot, Mrs. Hope, Maybe I should turn up the fan." "In any event, you will kill me, so at least there should be air." "Turn it up." "Thank you." "Thank you, everybody, really thanks a lot." "Bye." "Darling, you played so nicely." " Thanks." " You're a sweetheart." "Thank you very much." " Bye." "Lydia." "What excitement, what excitement." "Hello..." " Hello." "Watch out for me, heh?" "Spectacular..." "Tell me, you don't recognize her?" "I told you, an entrance is an entrance, don't be sloppy." "Witch." " I heard you, Osnat." " Tzvia."

"It's a good thing this is the last performance, huh Tzvika?" "You forgot to go off three times." "Nu, lets see you perform with Eric's silly faces." "Come on, these guys, these youngsters think this is the last show, so they can goof around." "And the stage is uneven, right?" "You're also going senile." "Your mother is a lame senile." " That's also true." "You cracked me up today, cracked me up." "If in the next play I don't have a bedroom scene with Tzvia, you can forget about me." "No problem, consider it done." "Remind me, what's his name?" "You are so jealous." "Yes." "Yes." "Hello to you." "Hello." "Hello... it's something." "Yes, I..." "Everybody gather around, over here, over here." "Thank you." "Allow me, to thank from the bottom of my heart, my dear Tzvika." "The one and only, bravo." " Bravo..." "Know that it was my honor and pleasure to be your producer." "And we know what you went through before you came to us." "And we all remember how you coped." "Know that we all drew much strength from you." "Look, our play..." "There has been nothing like this in theater." "And this show is closing down with sold out performances, why?" "Because our Tzvika is fed up, she doesn't want any more," "It bores her, and she wants to continue and move on." "Yes, that is what you are, you evil monster, manipulator in short, a star." "And know that is why I asked her to marry me." "You are drunk, Micha." "Do you know what she answered me, this monster star?" ""You are crazy, I could be your mother"." "So, dear mother, I have a role for you, you should know." "Friends, in my new play, Tzvia Israeli will not only act," "She will also sing and dance." "...To life!" " To life." "Are you sure?" " it's okay." "Go home, Tzvika, I'm a big boy." "I'll come tomorrow." " You'd better not." "Since I threw my husband out, I haven't seen such a mad man." "Who is there?" "The downstairs neighbor, I need help, can you open up?" "One minute." "What do you want?" "You know what I want." "This morning, I was released from jail." "But what do you want from me?" "For you to forgive me." " Get out of here." "Get out of here, you hear me?" "Or I'll call the police." "How dare you come here at all?" "Get away." "Get away, I'm telling you, out of here!" "Mrs. Israeli" "I sat here all night." "For three years I haven't slept." "How can one live like that, Mrs. Israeli?" "Hi." "Give me a minute to explain." " Drive." "Please." "Mrs. Israeli." "Excuse me." "Should I stop for him, Mrs. Israeli?" " No, ignore him." "Burgol!" "You deserve that, after the way you embarrassed me yesterday." "Go away, you monstrous slut." "Should I prepare you something to eat?" " No, no, no, it's okay." "The neighbor took care of me." "She made me a Moroccan fish dish." "Now, not only my leg hurts, My behind is also burning." "She is pursuing me." "But I only want to marry you." "Stop, Micha." "I'll start to think you're serious." "What is this?" " Our new project." ""The Musical-Dangerous", you'll really turn it into a musical?" "With songs and dances and all?" " All that and more." "You aren't normal, I was sure you were joking yesterday." " Why?" "This is Israel, not Broadway." "It says here I have to sing." "No really, are you crazy, that you think I can sing?" "Calm down, you have one and a quarter songs, that's all." "Look at me, am I 18 that I can sing?" " Go on a diet." "Take this." "What is this?" " This is a sketch of some of the songs." "Don't look at me like that, You owe it to me." "I wont take my clothes off." " Who asked you to strip?" "Thank you." " For what?" "That you entered the elevator even though I'm here." "Did you get my letters?" "For three years in prison, I was waiting for this moment." "I couldn't sleep at night." "Mrs. Israeli you are an actress, you understand people." "You know what pangs of conscience do to a person." "Especially if he knows he had no choice." " And you had no choice?" "I had nothing to eat." "That truck was my only chance." "Chance for what?" "Mrs. Israeli, my life is a nightmare." "At least you're alive." "What do you want?" "You spoke, you explained, what else do you want?" "For you to forgive me." " Why?" "Why not?" "Why not?" ""So maybe well begin with a play..." ""Everyone is already here and the crowd wants it..." ""behold, well all die in the end from an atomic bomb..."" "Yes, yes, yes." ""When Adam met Eve, he said to her, lets be like brothers." ""No she said, lets make love and in the evening eat apples." ""Well go crazy all night, and dance by the tree of knowledge." ""So take off that fig leaf Because I'm going crazy..." ""I..." I cant." "Come here a minute, I cant, you can't get by here." "I'm sitting here, everybody's on my head." "This is impossible." "They're bumping into me, I can't move, what?"

"Thank you very much." " Tzvia!" "Is the rumor true, that you are about to turn this thriving play into a musical?" " Tzvia!" " Correct." "I dream to be in a musical." " No." "Is there a small part for me?" "You want to sing, are you prepared to dance?" "I'm prepared to sing, dance, to do "splitsl"" "Whatever you ask, I'll be by your side to do it." " Tzvia!" "Okay, well try to get you something." "You do a wonderful job in this play, spectacular." " Thank you." "To play this role, you must draw from personal experience from things you've personally experienced." "Do you do that?" "No, not directly, no." "Look, this playwright, Ternbach, an American playwright, he wasn't thinking of me when he wrote this play, but what is an actress?" "One who takes personal, private pain, and turns it into substance." "I think it's no secret, everyone knows that about 3 years ago, you experienced a horrible tragedy." " Yes." "An accident took your husband, son-in-law, and daughter." " Yes." "How do you continue living after something like that?" "Excuse me!" "Living." " Living I understand but to continue to appear on stage." "Look, I'm not a little girl, I simply... put on some makeup, I do a switch in my head... and go up on stage." "I've chosen to live, so I live." "Yes, it is my decision to live." "I go with that." "It's not taken for granted, nothing is taken for granted." "Finally." "Totally inappropriate, Etti." "What, I'm late?" "Forget it, I'm off to a fitting, the laundry's in the machine." "When it finishes, put it in the dryer, I'm going." " Okay." "What's this?" " It was by the door, it's probably a neighbors" "Maybe." "Listen, leave me the key in the mailbox, I have to run." "Okay, bye." "Good morning." "Did you see what kind of a person that is?" "A full week, I sit here and wait, write her letters." "You know what?" "No need to." "No need to." "Again..." "five, six, seven, to work." "One two three..." "You look like a Turkish slut." "That's not we agreed on." "Lydia!" " What do you want from her?" "I have a dress rehearsal in two more days." " Me too." "Really?" "Why don't I feel it?" "What do you mean?" "I mean, throughout rehearsals I don't get what's with you." "You don't like the dress?" "Forget the dress, first of all, keep your mind on the play." "Is this rag appropriate for your character?" "How could you agree?" "Are you having an affair or something?" " Idiot." "Etti?" "Etti..." "Your maid put the key in the mailbox." "But she didn't close it so I was worried someone would break in." "You were worried?" " I didn't touch anything, I promise." "I didn't even drink water." "Really." "I wanted to apologize for talking harshly to you today." "Go away." "Leave immediately, You sleaze ball." "Get out of my life." "Leave me alone, I'm warning you." "I'll..." "I'll call the police and then you'll be out of here."

""the journey from paradise to hell is so short." ""I also hear, I also see, so maybe well start with a play..." ""So maybe well start with a play."" "Clear the roads." "Do you have a line of communication to him?" "He should come here immediately." "No one should approach the roof." "No one approach the building." "Move them away from there immediately." "Here she is." "Mrs. Israeli, this man is threatening to jump." "He says he's waiting just for you, do you know him?" "Mrs. Israeli, Do you know this man?" "His name is Yisrael." " Do you forgive me or do I jump?" "Mrs. Israeli, would you like some tea?" " No thank you." "Yisrael." "Ill call a doctor, I think hell be happy." ""I have much time until tomorrow" ""Until I'm led to the gallows." ""The rope itches, my neck is red." ""I would like to say goodbye to you already."" ""How much longer?" "How much more can we wait?" ""And time, and time time which always prevails," ""We are worth nothing, and time laughs..." ""Three hours, three hours he's dying to urinate," ""Until someone, someone brings him a bedpan." ""Hell eventually die, and well sing."" ""Time is a friend, so there's no need to hurry, times a tragedy," ""The time has come to buy a watch," ""Time is dreadful, it attacks you everywhere..." ""I would like to say goodbye to you already."" "Hello, hello." "Hi, doctor." " Hi, how are you?" " Hello." "Did you prepare this?" " Yes." "Wow." "Should I call someone to let them know you're here?" "Who?" " I don't know, family, friends, somebody." "Why are you smiling?" "It's a long story." " I have time." "I lived with foster parents until age eight." "After that I was moved," "They'd had enough of me." " Where did you go?" " All over." "Kibbutzim, institutions... sometimes in the street, I wandered around." "Do you know who are your Biological parents?" "At age 18 they showed me my file and I found out my mother died." "And your father?" " He was actually still alive." "He said "Thanks for coming, I'm sick, take care of me"" "like a Turkish film." "Did you care for him?" " Sure I did, a father is a father, no?" "Although he was already decrepit with one foot in the grave." "Did he die?" " After a year." "I was actually sorry, he was a funny man." "Where do you live?" "Did he leave you his house, or anything?" "Your father?" "His truck." "Actually, I recounted everything at the trial." "But you didn't come." "Too bad." "I wanted you to be there, I waited for you." "They're transferring me to a rehabilitation hospital, right?" "Will you come visit me there?" " Well see." "Yes..." "What's wrong?" " Everything's fine." "They took off my cast, tomorrow they'll remove the catheter, because I can already sense when I need to relieve myself." "So I can call a nurse." "Even the Dr. Said there's hope since my spine was unharmed." "So I asked him, if my spine was not harmed, why am I paralyzed?" "So he said: "You had a hard head blow, the prognosis is unclear, so there is hope."" "It's good that someone has hope." "I always asked myself, how come invalids don't cry?" "It's clear, it is more demeaning for someone to wipe your tears than for someone to wipe your behind." "You're responsible for me Tzvia." "I'm here due to you, you can't throw me into a rehabilitation home just like that, like some dog." "It will be okay, Yisrael." "You will see." "Guys, careful with that table." "Continue over there." "Grown boy." " What do you want?" "I missed her." "My sweetheart." "All day I look at her, all day." "And also at this garbage, Did you read this?" "Did you read this shit?" "It's a story of two lonely people a detective and a rich widow." "Who run parallel investigations, blah, blah, blah... again, here." "The basic plot is familiar, but here the work is ridiculous." "With the pathetic emphasis on stupid musical numbers." "Luckily for this pretentious, failing project, was" "Tzvia Israeli, as usual with her mesmerizing theatrical presence." "She can't sing..." "She moves awkwardly." "But what charisma." "Maniac, son of a bitch." "He didn't write one word about me." "What's up, Tzvika?" " I'm leaving the play for a few weeks." "Why?" " Because." "Again you feel you've exhausted yourself..." " I need a vacation." "We've just begun, the audience is hysterical." "So take Mickey, shell do a wonderful job." "Shell jump in, and within two days, shell be spectacular." "Her moves aren't awkward." "You're taking Yisrael home with you, right?" " Yes." "Why?" " Because." "What, you feel sorry for him?" " Also." "How do you plan to care for him?" " I arranged for a physiotherapist, who will come every day and treat him." "And you'll schlep him, feed him, wash him..." "Hey, I've played the part of the merciful nurse once, right?" "As merciful nurse will you also pleasure him..." " Don't be gross." "Why are you doing this?" " it's OK Micha, it's only for awhile." "It will be okay." "May you die." "Why don't you perform in films?" " Movies?" "I once did some films, I didn't enjoy it at all." "And now?" " Now there are no good stories." "Too bad." " Why?" "Because up close you see all the expression, it's nice." "I actually have a great story for a film." " You wrote a script?" "In my head." " So, tell me." "It begins with a woman sitting in a public park" "A pathetic woman, who yearns for one thing only - a child." "Who is this woman?" " A woman." " Why does she long for a child?" "What do you mean why?" " What reasons, what's her motivation?" "What do you mean?" " Reasons, motivation for what she does." "Why is that important?" "Because it's a drama, right?" "You need that in a drama." "You need a reason, a motivation." "I'm talking to you about a film, What's with you Tzvia?" "Do you want to hear the story or not?" " Yes." "Okay, so this woman sits in her corner feeding cats and birds." "Sometimes she does crossword puzzles." "But mainly mainly, she is always thinking how she is dying for a child, so that she wont be alone." "And she can't bear a child, her husbands gone, she has nothing." "Until one day, a young sweet woman comes to the garden." "With a baby stroller." " Who's the young lady, the baby's mother?" "Of course, who else?" " I don't know it could be the babysitter." "She's the mother, of course she's not a babysitter." "Who is this young lady?" " Again you're starting?" "Does it matter?" "A young, beautiful woman, extremely beautiful." "There was a water fountain near, and one day the baby's mother went to fill up a bottle with water." "Our heroine immediately got up and slowly walked and looked in the stroller and saw the most beautiful baby in the world." "Eyes blue like the ocean." "He smiled at her, the cute little thing." "She looked at him, it was love at first sight." "So?" "You find it interesting?" " Go on." "In this way the days pass, she is suffering terribly the love burns within her." "And she only wants to hold him, to stroke him, bring him close." "Until she can no longer stand it and decides she has no choice, and she must kidnap him." "Why are you laughing, this is serious." "No, I'm not laughing." "I'm enjoying the story." "Continue." "And so our heroine begins to follow the young woman." "Follows her, she sees who and what she is." "The young woman is a bit dense and tired, and notices nothing." "Until one day, the young woman just falls asleep on the bench." "Perhaps our heroine even put something in her drink." "I don't know, I have to decide that." "In any event, she quickly approaches and quietly wheels the stroller and escapes, with the baby." "After two days, the baby becomes sick with high fever." "She puts cold compresses on him, tries to calm him down, but it doesn't help, he is already totally drained." "He suffers from an illness which requires a specific medication." "It's even publicized in the news so the kidnappers will know that without this medication, he will die." "Our heroine is torn." "On the one hand, if she returns the baby, shell be arrested, shell go to jail, and what is life worth without him?" "On the other hand, if she keeps him, hell die." "In either case, shell be left alone as before." "And?" "That's it, that's all I have." "But what's the story, what does she decide to do?" "I don't know." "What do you think she will do?" " Of course shell give him back." "If it's so obvious, why do you ask?" "Because it's your story, idiot." "And why is it so clear to you that shell give him back?" "Because that's the best thing to do." "Don't be ridiculous, people don't always choose what's best." "If it's so clear that it's right, then where is there choice?" "People choose the lesser evil." "And what in your story is the lesser evil?" "I don't know, they're both the same." "They both stink." "Excuse me." "So when you decide which stinks less, tell me." "I'm in suspense." "Should I leave the light on again tonight?" " Yes." "Good night." "Good night." "If I could, I would have sent her to hell long ago." "That Etti is so rude." "She's been working for me for years." "The house is a mess and she does not tell me she's not coming." "That's it." "It's only for a few minutes, I'm just going to buy a few things." "It's okay Tzvia, you can go." "What, is it your stomach again?" "I'll stop by a pharmacy and get you medicine for constipation." "Good..." "You don't have to be embarrassed by me Israel, bye." "Hi." " Hi." "Did you bring the medicine?" " Yes." "Ill bring you water." "Too bad I can't feel anything." "Tzvia, you must return to your play." " What are you saying?" "Get me a babysitter, that's all, I'll manage a few hours alone." "You want to return to the play, no?" " I don't know..." "Well see." "This room was your husbands office, wasn't it?" "Yes." "Tell me a little about them." "What do you want to know?" "After the accident, your husband and daughter were unconscious?" "Yes, for two weeks." " Just like me, huh?" "You sat by them, and what did you do?" "What do you mean, what did I do?" " I don't know." "When I cared for my sick father," "I had many thoughts, memories." "I even thought of poisoning his food, imagine." "So I'm asking what you were thinking, what was in your head?" "Why do you ask?" " No reason, we just never talk about it." "I overstepped my boundary." ""I had a cook who fried two eggs for me," ""She burned the butter and out came smoke and sparks," ""It was so disgusting, The stench flooded over me." ""So I stuck her head in the pan, and fried her nose." ""I'm dangerous, I'm sweet..." ""If you come close, you'll be hit." ""I'm dangerous and strong," ""My gun is drawn, blood is dripping." ""My knife is sharp and erect, Oh, it's so exhausting." ""Mournful, sharp, cancerous, sophisticated..." ""Dangerous." ""I once had a lover, Who loved me very much," ""He spoke of many positions, but he never slept with me." ""So I tied cement to his leg and some to his neck," ""Within a second, or maybe less, he sunk deep in the river." ""My father, the millionaire, I cut his neck," ""My poor mother, exploded, there was nothing left," ""My brothers are spread out in pieces in every city." ""My sister, I simply poisoned, it was very quick." ""I'm dangerous, I'm sweet," ""If you come close, you'll be hit." ""I'm dangerous and strong," ""My gun is drawn, blood is dripping." ""My knife is sharp and erect, Oh, it's so exhausting." ""Mournful, sharp, cancerous, sophisticated..." ""Dangerous." ""D" ""an..." ""gerous..."" "Thank you everybody, thanks for the help." " Your welcome." " Bye." "You were great." "So, you didn't enjoy it?" "I enjoyed it, of course, thank you." "I know you Yisrael, what's wrong?" "Everything's fine, I enjoyed it." " No, but what do you think, what what did you think of the play?" "Nothing special." "I just don't understand why you're playing that stupid role." "What?" " All the stupidity, playing cops and robbers." "Playing with guns as though they're a piano." "What is it trying to say?" "Who believes in that stupidity?" "The audience loves it." " Forget the audience, okay?" "One screams, the whole flock follows, the audience loves it." "What's with you?" " What's with me?" "Are you even a dancer?" "Are you a singer?" "I enjoy it." "I'm having fun." " Really?" "What are you blind?" "I don't understand." "You don't see how degrading this role is?" "The costume that makes you look like a cow dancing ballet?" "Is it fitting for you to perform off-key like a broken trumpet?" "I'm going to take a shower." "You asked for my opinion, no?" " Yes." "You're right." "You're sick of me." " Don't talk nonsense." "Why did you take me in?" "Why am I even here?" "How long will this last?" "When will you grow tired of me?" "When you tire of me, then what?" " Is that why you spoke harshly?" "Don't test me, Yisrael." "You're here because I want you." " And what will be in the end?" "You'll return to yourself." "And then what will be?" "Do you want to hear a story?" "Another one of your stories which has no end?" "Actually, this one has an end, even a happy ending." " Go on." "It begins with a woman just walking down the street." "What?" " What you don't want to ask me who the woman is?" "Who is the woman?" " Okay, first well give her a name, Yona." "Yona wakes up one day, leaves her family, she's tired of them." "She starts to wander the streets and look for work." "Until one day she sees in the job postings, an advertisement for a woman to care for an invalid." "To care for her day and night in exchange for room and salary." "Hello..." " Hi." "I'm calling about the ad" "Are you interested in the job?" "Very." " Very much because it was the perfect solution for her." "So she took down the address and went over, without knowing what was in store for her." "One minute." "Come in." "She stood there, our Yona dumbfounded and in shock." "Come." "You can sit down." "The voice of that gentle and sweet girl was the voice of an old and evil woman." " How could that be?" "Go on." "And so, Yona began to care for her." "In the beginning this woman child was pleasant." "Here. 9 percent, just as you requested." "I asked for 5 percent, don't you get it 5?" "What, are you stupid?" "Is it that hard to understand?" "But afterwards, she began to really abuse her like a slave." "She worked her so hard, didn't let her sleep." "Here, 5 percent just as you requested." "But you didn't check the expiration date, did you?" "Right or wrong?" "What are you worth?" "You idiot, stupid, despicable." "In the end, Yona could barely stand the humiliation and abuse." "That same night, our heroine got out of her bed, slowly, slowly sneaked over to her employers bed, she took a large pillow... and began to strangle her." "Very hard, with all her strength in order to be rid of her." "And the woman child fought back, twisted and screamed vigorously even though it was nearly impossible to hear anything." "And then suddenly..." "Yona heard a young girls voice coming from this woman," "A regular girl." "A voice of a 12 year old girl." "So she burst into a bitter cry, awful and terrifying, as only girls cry." "And this Yona, why did she strangle her?" "She could have simply got up and walked away." "I don't know, that's the story." "What's the point of this story?" "That's what you call a story with a happy ending?" " Yes." "If a young girls voice hadn't suddenly come out of her she would have kept strangling her and she would have died, no?" "George. it's not nice how you treat your friends, Mrs. Hope." "Not only a knife, but in the back?" "Why did you kill him?" "For the very same reason... for the same reason I'm about to kill you." " Why is that?" "For what reason, Mrs. Hope?" "I asked, what's the reason?" "Self defense." "What just happened?" " I had a black out, that's all." "My ass, you had a blackout, Why did you come back, tell me." "You think I'll let you destroy the role, you cow." "Don't you dare talk to me like that, you hear me?" "Don't you dare push me around on stage, you piece of shit." "Why, who are you?" " Arik, Arik..." "Did I forget my lines?" "Tzvika, what's happening?" " I'm ruined, I'm ruined Micha" "I've had it with this stupid play." " Stupid play?" "Playing cops and robbers games just like little children." "Dancing with guns." "It's not for me." "I'm an actress, I'm not a singer, I'm not a dancer." "Where is Yisrael?" "Why do you ask?" " No reason, just curious." "At home, with Etti." "I hired her to care for him a little while I'm in the play." "And where are you?" " I'm here, I'm a little tired, that's all." "And what's with me?" "What do you want Micha?" " You." "Maybe for that I first have to jump from your roof." "I don't know what you're talking about." "It's not important." "Okay, I'll take you home now." "Ill wait for you outside." "Hey, Tzvia." "Tzvia, what's up?" "What, did something happen?" "What could happen, Tzvia?" "So what, Etti, everything's okay?" " Yes, just fine." "No problem." "Wednesday." " Yes." "Bye." " See you later." " Bye." " See you later." "How was the play?" " Fantastic." "Did you remember that today is the anniversary." "What anniversary?" "Your husband, your daughter." " So what?" "You're not going to the cemetery to have a memorial service?" " No." "That's strange." "Why do you even care?" "What happened?" "It's a little, I don't know, It's bitter." " I ate it, it's fine." "I can't eat it." "Should I add some salt?" "Thank you, Tzvia, really, I'm not really hungry anyway." "Can you take the napkin off, please?" "So?" " One minute, I'm reading." "It's good for you here, huh?" "So what do you say?" "The play, the musical, and now the movie." "Why did you have to include the Mossad and Arafat, and all the..." "A movie has to be realistic." " You have rights to this play?" "Do you have investors, money?" "I have investors, I have rights." "And a fully stocked trailer just for my Tzvika, as it should be." "Just tell me you're in." "You should, well make a movie, get married." " Come on..." "I don't know." "Come, I have to organize some things upstairs, come help me." "You have ideas, what do you even know about movies?" " Nothing." "One minute, one minute... what's the problem?" " Why is this torn?" "Listen, I need to ask your advice about something." "Did something happen?" " Not now, go home, don't be offended," "I need to take care of Israel and he's embarrassed by you." "So after he goes to sleep, I'll call you and well talk." "What are you guys in a fight or something?" " Don't be an idiot." "One minute, one minute." "Oh no." " What's the problem now?" "Why do you always have the opening line?" "I don't know, leave it, I'll go over it again." "Fine, call me." "Bye." " Bye." "Now I'm stuck in this scooter for the rest of my life." "Come on, start already" " Now I forgot what I need..." "Cartoons!" "Are you going to marry Micha?" " What are you talking about?" "So why is he always proposing?" " That's just a manner of speech." "A manner of speech?" "And this absurd film he offered you, is that a manner of speech?" "Why butt in, what do you care?" " I care that you ingratiate." "And he's considered your best friend." "Everyone tries to be sharper than the next guy." ""Marry me, marry me" what stupidity." "It's all one big play, a contest to be most ingratiating." "It's not style, Tzvika, It's disgusting." "It's Micha, leave a message if you like." "Micha." "If you're there, pick up." "I'm so sorry, I fell asleep, I fell into bed like a rock." "Micha?" "Tzvika, you don't know what's happening to me." "Since I came back from you, I'm in the bathroom, one minute." "Tzvika?" " What's happening?" "I've never had such a thing." "I'm throwing up and have diarrhea." "Oh, lord, I cant, don't worry, well talk tomorrow." "Hello." " Tzvika?" "Micha?" "What do you mean, Micha?" "It's me, what's up?" "It works, this telephone setup is great." "What's with you?" "Will you be long?" " About 2 hours, why?" "No reason, are you angry?" " About what?" "About what I said about Micha yesterday?" "Stop, Yisrael, I can't talk with you now, bye." "Hello." "Tzvia." "You said you'd return in two hours." " Who was just here?" "I wanted to make up with you." "I made a surprise for you." "Look." "Amazing, huh?" "It was on the shopping channel, I loved it immediately." "And I arranged it all by phone, can you believe it?" "One call, it's delivered and set up." " How did you pay for this?" "With your credit card." "I gave the number by phone and that's all." " That's all?" " What?" "You don't like it?" "Tzvia." "I wanted to surprise you." "Stop, Yisrael, I'm tired." "You're sick of me." " I'm not sick of anything." "So why did you leave me alone?" "I don't know, I'm debating about this dress." "I want to change something, this is beginning to bore me." "You want some?" "What is that?" "A rice cake." "Since that horrible stomach bug, I don't eat anything else." "How I suffered..." "Should I make you coffee?" " No." "I left Yisrael with Etti," "I have to get home so she can clean." "The house is a mess." "Why do I sense I'm about to hear more bad news?" "What, you don't want to do the film?" "Leave me alone about the film." " So what is it?" "I'm dropping out of the play." " Why?" " Because." "Again this same old pattern?" "Why, because, I can't anymore, I've exhausted myself?" "Should I get down on my knees or should we first drink coffee?" "Stop, I've had enough, I'm tired of this game." "All this wit, All this flattery," "I don't want to be in the play, that's all." "It's my choice, do you have a problem with that?" "I don't owe you an explanation." "I also don't have to listen to your marry me remarks." "I have a life." "I have a life, I have a life..." "Where is Etti?" " I sent her off." "To where?" " To hell." "She was doing a superficial job, She wasn't cleaning at all." "So after we organized things, I berated her for not cleaning." "What did you organize?" "Your room, it's a surprise." "I have life!" "I have life!" "What do you want from me?" "What do you want from me?" "It was an accident." "What is his condition now?" "He sleeps most of the time." "He occasionally opens his eyes, I don't know... he stares." "He doesn't react." "The doctor said he's in shock." "I apologize for speaking to you like that." "That's okay, I'm already used to you." "Back then when he jumped and again now," "I look at him and see their faces, I see them." "Tami, Tami, my Tami." "How did I let her die like that?" " What could you have done?" "What now?" "Are you taking him home again?" "Yes." " That's sick." "Why?" " He murdered your daughter and husband." "You say you look at him, and see them, why do you need that?" ""It begins as every story ends," ""One sweet tear, and a gate which closes," ""Suddenly we saw with our eyes one very painful thing," ""With all the bloodshed we knew, he loves her." ""Maybe it's good for him, Maybe it's bad for him," ""Why doesn't she love him?" ""Maybe it's good for him, Maybe it's bad for him," ""Why doesn't she love him?" ""The winters passed, Time itself passed." ""The wound still hurts me, so he said." ""If it will be good for me, it will be even better for you." ""And if it will be bad for me, I'll stay here with you..." ""Maybe it's good for him, Maybe it's bad for him," ""Why doesn't she love him?" ""Maybe it's good for him, Maybe it's bad for him," ""Why doesn't she love him?"" "We finish, we leave." "Lets go over the questions." "Mrs. Israeli, we were waiting for you." " Where is Yisrael?" "The nurses came in an hour ago and this is what they saw." "What do you mean "This is what they saw"?" " He disappeared." "We looked everywhere, there's no trace of him or his clothes." "Do you know anyone who could have... to remove him from here, to help him get out?" " He has nobody." "Did you notice anything unusual recently?" "Unusual behavior or movements?" " He only moved his fingers." "After he jumped from the roof, why did you take him in?" "Why did I take him in?" "Yisrael?" ""So maybe well start with a play..." ""Everyone's here, the crowd wants it, well all die in the end."" "She's already gone." "Wait a minute." "Were you waiting for me?" "I slept here, where you keep the props." "It's a little uncomfortable to consider my situation, huh?" "What's new?" "Why did you lie to me, Yisrael?" " Can I sit down?" "I asked, answer me." " Just this week, I could move, no big deal." "It's nice here when it's quiet like this." "Too bad there's no audience, huh?" "Why did you take me in, Tzvia?" "Because I felt sorry for you." " Why?" "I was sure you were paralyzed." " Ah." "Just out of curiosity, you never forgave me, did you?" "I gave you my soul." " But to forgive, you could not." "What do you want from me?" " Nothing, just to talk a little." "Maybe we can talk about your late husband and daughter." "All the time I was with you, every time I tried to ask, you wont say a word about them." "Maybe we should let loose a bit, what do you say?" "They lay in the hospital two weeks after the accident, right?" "Right." "What went through your head during those two weeks, Tzvia?" "Did you think of me?" " Of you?" " Or of them?" "Or of yourself?" "I thought..." " What for example?" "Why is it so hard to tell me one thought you had?" "I don't understand." "Are you embarrassed about your thoughts, Tzvia?" "Was it a dirty thought?" "A dangerous thought?" "Or maybe there was no thought at all but rather a plan, a plan which you carried out in the end." "What?" "I want to know." "So, in short, after two weeks, that's it, they both just died." "How could that be?" " You caused it." "You drove your truck like an evil animal." "Murderer." "So why did you take me in?" " I told you, I pitied you." "So why didn't you kill me?" " Huh?" "Why didn't you kill me then?" "You stood over me with the pillow." "You considered it Tzvia, don't try to deceive me now." "I saw everything, even when you thought I was unconscious." "If you felt so bad why didn't you kill me, like you killed them?" "Killed whom?" " Your daughter and husband, you strangled them." "You're crazy." "You want to say I'm no longer logical?" " What do you want?" "I wanted you to forgive me." "That's all I wanted." "What do you want now?" " For you to have patience for me, Tzvia." "Just as you do for all those idiotic Agatha Christie books." "I read all of your books, rubbish." "Even worse than the stupid play where everyone so admires you." "And no one knows you can act 1,000 times better than that." "I was lying in the hospital, supposedly unconscious," "And I ask, why wont she forgive me?" "What happened?" "Then I see you come, sit next to me, care for me each day," "Pangs of guilt were eating you up." "And suddenly you're holding a pillow, about to strangle me." "And that was it, I understood it all." " What did you understand?" "Sitting next to her thinking, what will be now?" "What if they wake up and live, even though that idiot crushed them with his truck." "Pity them." "Paralyzed, vegetables." "And pity me that I'll have to care for them." "So you suffocated them with a pillow and finished them both." "Admit it, Tzvia." "I'm not buying any more of your tricks, Yisrael." "I've had it." "I'm not giving in any more." "You managed to paralyze me, you wont make me take the blame." "Are you hot, Mrs. Hope?" "Should I turn up the fan maybe?" "Let me go, Yisrael." "Go live your life, I'll live mine." "Forget about me." "Ill... forget about you." "Sit down." "You know I have nothing to lose." "So you settled the account." "Maybe you didn't use a pillow." "Maybe you pulled the plug, maybe you poisoned them..." "You understand what I'm saying, Tzvia?" "You killed them." "That's why you didn't forgive me." "Because you couldn't forgive yourself." "Sit!" "I'm not finished yet." "I'm telling you, I'm not finished yet!" "Sorry." "I didn't mean what I said." "I just..." "I made it all up." "I'm sorry, Tzvia." "I just wanted everything to be good." "I'm bad, I'm bad." "What I said earlier was just nonsense." "Forgive me." "Forgive me." "Tzvia..." "Help me." "There's no forgiveness." ""It begins, the way every story ends," ""one sweet tear and a gate which closes...""
