"Yossi Banai" "In a Yoel Zilberg film:" ""Marital Games" (Haham Gamliel)" "Oshik Levi" "Yossi Polak" "Dov Fridman" "Good morning, Shalom." "Good morning." "Good morning, Samucha." "Good morning, good morning." "Good morning, Ovadiya." "Good morning." "Where's Dina?" "She's not in her room." "God help me." "Margalit, come here." "Why do you shove your nose into everything?" "Haham Gamliel, everything's ready." "I'll be right there." "Fine." "Come, come help me get up." "Shalom, where's the cane?" "Slowly, slowly." "Slowly, Shalom, slowly." "Slowly, Shalom!" "Once I used to have legs, now, these legs near legs, don't even resemble the hands." "Slowly, Shalom." "Shalom." "Come on, go, go, go." "Oh, Lord Almighty." "In merits of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob," "Make that all evil eyes leave, and all calamities, and we shall say Amen." "Amen." "In the merit of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Lord oh Mighty," "Make so all evil eye should begone, and all demons and all kinds of troubles and calamities, that enter man's body, and let's say Amen." "Amen." "Hey, Nisim, Nisim." "Are you going to work?" "Yes." "Can I go with you?" "Fine, get up." "Thank you very much." "You're lucky I dropped by at home." "Good, thanks." "Praised be His name forever." "Look how pretty she is, your daughter." "She looks just like her mother, she should rest in peace." "Dina." "Dina!" "Blessed who wakes the sleepers." "What are you laughing about, Bilam?" "She nearly broke my heart." "I thought she had..." "Died." "God forbid." "It shouldn't happen." "Haham Gamliel." "What?" "She's crying." "Congratulations, never mind." "Let her cry." "Maybe through the tears her fears will leave too." "Here, take a rock, Shalom." "Where should I take from?" "As a parable, you idiot, a parable." "Take a rock." "Does it cry?" "No." "Why?" "Because it's soulless." "What's with you, Dina, that you're crying like this in the morning?" "Someone's coming." "By the sound of it it's not the messiah." "Go see Shalom, go see." "Hello, Shalom." "How are you?" "The same." "How is she?" "She's giving him trouble, his daughter." "He just treated her against the evil eye." "Again?" "Let's go in." "Good morning, father." "Oh, good morning, Nisim." "What got in to you, that you came to see if your old man still alive?" "Lately you don't come by." "But, father, you know I work like an ass." "No." "There's a lot of work at the quarry But how are you?" "How's your health?" "You see, Nisim, sitting around." "And how's she?" "As usual, Nisim." "What's with you, Dina?" "Don't waste your words, Nisim." "She won't answer." "Talk to the door or talk to her, it's the same." "She was always odd." "But lately, man, it's as if the devil is deep inside her, and doesn't show any signs of leaving." "You, if you'd find one of your friends, who'd maybe marry her, we'd see the end of this." "Father, come on, Dina needs someone to find her a husband?" "Look at her face, look how pretty, like an apple." "Yes, an apple, but also an apple, if you leave it too long, Nisim, it rots." "Congratulations." "Here, she's awake finally." "I'm going." "Wait, Dina, I'll escort you to the room." "Goodbye, father." "Goodbye." "Come on, go." "Come on." "When will I see you?" "Maybe still today, no promise." "Say hello to the manager, and invite him over for a cup of coffee." "Fine." "I will, goodbye." "We see him only on holidays and on non-days." "Don't worry, Dina, everything will work out." "Goodbye." "Get your eyes off of my sister, you horny..." "What?" "What?" "She's like the Sabbath candles to you." "Do you understand?" "Good morning, Schug." "Good morning, guys, what's doing?" "Hi." "Hi." "Thank you very much, Nisim, goodbye." "What's going on inside there, guys?" "Go inside, my friend, you'll get the medication before work." "Fine." "Hi, Uzi." "Hi, Nisim." "What happened?" "Of all days, today you come late, when we have a big explosion?" "Everything's ready for explosion?" " Everything's ready for explosion." "The coast is clear?" "Yes." "I'm exploding in 1 0 seconds..." "Come here, you." "I did some shopping today, I bought half of Jerusalem." "Hey, I have a surprise for you, I bought you..." "A ring." "A ring?" "Well, you bought it for yourself." "Of course it's for me." "I bought it, so what?" "Look, I know that with a quarry worker's paycheck, you can't afford to buy me a wedding band." "So I bought." "When are you coming?" "I don't know yet, I have to go somewhere." "Where?" "One of the workers invited me over to his house." "Say, don't you have anything else to do?" "What is it?" "We still have a lot of arrangements." "So what do you say?" "Look, I'm just going to drop by for a few minutes, I must." "I don't want to heart his feelings." "Uzi, I'm home alone." "So don't make me wait." "O.K.?" "O.K." "And most importantly, is to keep the unity of the family." "Hello, Haham Gamliel." "Hello." "On top she's covered with honey, but if you stick you finger in a little deeper, she's full of bitterness, troubles and agonies." "There are some of us, to our sorrow, who got married, and still haven't reached the honey." "Why?" "Their barrel was upside down." "Good luck to you." "May God give you the dew of the heavens and the fat of the land, and much wheat and wine." "Congratulations. 1 0 lira." "Shalom." "Look who's coming." "Hello, Nisim." "Hi, father." "Hi." "Never mind, never mind." "You asked me to invite the manager, so here he is, his name is Uzi." "Nice to meet you." "Such a young manager." "As it is said: "And a boy will rule them"." "Sit down." "Thank you, we just came by for a moment." "Nisim learned from you to "drop by", never mind." "Meet this young couple." "They're getting married next week." "Congratulations." "Thank you, you're invited to the ceremony." "Thank you very much." "You'll do them a great honor if you come." "We do weddings the right way, right father?" "Sure, not like them, break a glass, eat half of a dry chicken, and good-bye." "Ok, I'll do my best." "Goodbye, thank you very much." "Goodbye." "And don't forget, from this day on, your head is occupied with only one woman." "And alas if you look around." "Goodbye." "Sit, sit." "Shalom." "Thank you." "Would you like some coffee?" "Thank you." "Thank you yes, or thank you, no?" "Thank you, yes." "Shalom, you hear?" "The manager and his assistant want coffee." "How is Nisim as the assistant?" "Nisim?" "He's fine." "By the way, he talks greatly of you." "Of me?" "Nisim?" "What do you tell them?" "What's to tell, what?" "I didn't tell anything." "Only good things, really that you understand everything, in medicine, psychology, pedagogy." "God forbid, me?" "Pedagogy?" "God forbid." "No, no." "I'm a simple man, everything I know is from the book of books." "And what's not in it, is written in "Chapters of our Fathers"." "Shalom." "What?" "Where are you?" "Here I am." "Please, give them first, help yourselves." "Come on, Nisim." "Forget it, I don't believe in these things." "Here, do you hear?" "He doesn't believe." "What do you care?" "What do you have to loose?" "Give him your hand, you won't believe how accurate he is." "Ok, give me your hand." "Not this one, the other." "What do I see?" "You... your father is..." "Not alive." "No, ah, he passed away." "That's it, it shows." "And your mother, she too..." "She's abroad." "Abroad, yes, over the sea, over the sea." "One moment, wait." "Oh, what do I see here?" "A very, very interesting line." "I see here a wedding very soon." "Precisely." "Did you tell him?" "Me?" "No way." "So, how did you know?" "What's there to know, everything is written here." "Listen, it's fantastic." "I'm really about to get married shortly." "My girlfriend even bought the rings." "How's that, you girlfriend bought the rings?" "It's not good, it brings bad luck." "I don't believe in that sort of things." "Never mind." "With time, your wits will come, and belief will come as well." "Nisim, maybe we'll go inside, eat something?" "Uzi?" "No." "Thank you, really, I must go." "Another time, father." "Ok, goodbye." "It was a pleasure." "Nisim, give your father a hand." "Slowly, slowly." "Slowly, slowly." "Come in, come sometimes, our home is always open." "Thank you." "Uzi, wait a second, I'm helping my father in." "Ok." "Slowly, Nisim." "Slowly." "One moment." "Uzi." "Who's that?" "Why?" "She's pretty." "Sure she's pretty." "She's my sister." "Come." "Hello." "What do you want?" "To talk with the wise-one." "Fine, come in." "Hello, Haham Gamliel." "Hello to you, Schug." "Why are you dressed so fancy?" "I..." "Sit, sit." "Shalom." "I came to speak with you, Haham Gamliel." "I feel here, in my heart..." "You have thoughts in your heart?" "Many, many thoughts." "And they are all regarding..." "You also cry..." "Suddenly." "Yes, mostly suddenly." "Just as I thought." "You have the evil eye." "How evil eye?" "What evil eye?" "I came to speak with you..." "What do you have to talk about my daughter?" "Since you're looking for a groom for her." "Why look so far?" "Here sits, by you, a groom." "Where's a groom?" "Me." "You?" "One moment, let me understand this." "You're whose groom?" "Your daughter's." "I didn't hear." "I agree to have her, even though everyone says that who ever marries her will die." "Your brain dried up, Schug." "A string from your brain tore." "I will give my daughter to someone like you?" "No matter from what angle I look at you, you look like someone who was started and forgot to finish." "Go, go before you won't be able to walk, go." "Fine, one moment, I, I..." "I agree... to pay for a dowry." "Sure a dowry." "What happens when the dowry ends, the ugliness remains in bed." "Shalom..." "What." "Come take out this frog." "But why?" "Come on, get out." "One moment, I..." "O.K., O.K. No need to push." "Shalom, no need to push." "Just slap him on his face with your foot so we don't see him here." "Wait, wait..." "Go on." "Get out." "Out!" "I'll give my daughter to him..." "May God take you, in the dark, so he doesn't see who he takes and doesn't get scared." "I'll show you a frog." "What are you thinking about?" "I just can't get over it." "What?" "A 20 minute drive from the city, and you're in a different world." "I think you're still in a different world." "I think they are wonderful people, especially Nisim's father." "A unique character." "Maybe you'd stop being amazed by him, and start being amazed by me." "They invited me to a wedding." "Yes?" "This should be interesting." "Do you want to go?" "I'll leave the pleasure to you." "By the way, do you know we have to register at the rabbinate?" "Yes, I heard about it." "When do you want?" "Tuesday?" "Why Tuesday?" "I was told it's a day that brings luck." "Congratulations." "Thank you, Haham Gamliel." "Congratulations." "May you see much happiness and satisfaction." "Where's your sister?" "At home." "She's not coming to the wedding?" "No, she's not interested in it." "No one here, in the village, interests her." "So get her out of here, take her with you to the city." "Father won't allow it." "Who's there?" "It's me, Schug." "What do you want?" "I want to talk to you, open the door." "Isn't it a shame that everyone's at the wedding and you're here alone?" "Scram." "But I just want to talk to you." "Dina, look, you're alone, I'm alone, so I thought maybe we can..." "I told you to go away." "I want to talk..." "Enough, go, go..." "One moment, just a little..." "Dina, I'll tell you something, Dina, just one moment, Dina." "They say all kinds of stories about her." "Like what?" "That she'll never get married." "Why?" "Because whoever will put a ring on her finger and marry her, will die." "Nisim." "Dina, what happened?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "Why did you run, tell me?" "It's Schug." "I was sure it was him, all the time he harasses her." "Meet Uzi." "We work together." "I know." "Nice to meet you." "Uzi, stay with her, I'm going to take care of him." "Dina, wait for me here." "Maybe you'd like a drink." "What is it?" "You're embarrassed that people are looking at us?" "We can sit inside." "Come, let's get in the car." "Do you want to drink?" "A little." "You won't get drunk from it." "Thank you." "You see?" "I didn't poison you." "You have a nice smile, do you know?" "No." "Why aren't you talking?" "What should I say?" "Say something." "Nisim says you're a smart girl." "Yes?" "Is it true what they say here at the village?" "What?" "That whoever puts on your finger a ring will die?" "Could be." "You're not telling me that you believe it." "Come here, you piece of crap, come here." "How many times did I tell you to leave my sister alone?" "Nisim, come on, I didn't do anything to her." "You're lucky, or else, I'd kill you." "Nisim..." "Come on go." "Really, you're a good man, thank you." "Go already." "One moment, one moment." "Is it true?" "What I just heard?" "What did you hear?" "That you put a wedding band on Dina's finger." "Right, I did, but..." "And you said to her, "Here you are wedded to me"?" "Yes, I did." "It's not good." "It's not good what you did." "Because now she is your wife." "Who?" "Dina." "And you're her husband." "Wait, you don't understand it was a joke?" "What do you mean, a joke?" "There were 2 witnesses who saw and heard." "Did you see?" "We saw." "You saw?" "They saw." "They saw, so what?" "According to Jewish law, you're lawfully married." "What are you saying?" "I'm about to wed in two weeks." "I have a date in the rabbinate." "So cancel it, my friend, cancel." "Cancel?" "Can't do anything." "A date can be cancelled, not a marriage." "And you're married now." "What's going on here?" "Nisim, it's good you came." "What happened?" "Congratulate your manager, Nisim." "What happened, father?" "It happened that he put a ring on your sister's finger, Dina." "According to the law, it's binding." "What, Uzi, is it true what my father's saying?" "Nisim, come on, you're getting excited over this too?" "I was just joking, come on, nothing happened." "Father, you hear, he wasn't serious." "It's out of my hands, Nisim, now it's not in my hands." "There were witnesses that heard." "Nisim, do me a favor, get this trouble off of me." "Dina, go after him." "What for?" "As it is said, Nisim, "Where he goes, she goes"." "Dina, you're not going anywhere." "Father, do me a favor, tell her to take off the ring." "Why should she take it off, Nisim?" "Why?" "She stole it?" "Father, he didn't marry her." "He's betrothed to her, Nisim." "Kill me if I understand you." "Nisim." "Dina." "Tomorrow morning, God willing, you're going to him." "It's your destiny, Dina." "It's not me." "Maybe that's the way the heavens wanted it to be." "What a lovely story." "You're betraying your wife, and I'm in bed with a married man." "Are you jealous?" "What?" "It's annoying." "One night you're out, and already you're fooling around." "Stop it, ok?" "Where's the ring?" "Did you leave it by her?" "I tried to get it off, but it didn't come off." "Very strange." "How do you such a foolish thing?" "No harm done." "Nisim will give it back to me, don't worry." "The father worries me the most." "You said he's a unique person." "Let's just hope he won't make you a unique surprise." "Giddy-up." "Ruthy, I must work too." "Yes, you can't call me every 1 5 minutes." "Yes." "I promise you I'll get the ring back when Nisim comes in." "It'll be all right." "Haim, come here." "Leave him to watch over the oven, and come to my office now." "O.K." "Good-bye, and congratulations." "Shalom, where are you coming from?" "There." "The quarry?" "Yes." "What did you do there?" "I dropped off a load." "Look, look at what's going on there." "Hey, babe, come here." "What are you doing here?" "Waiting." "Waiting?" "For whom?" "You." "Me?" "What did you come for?" "Father sent me." "What do you mean, "Father sent you"?" "What are you, a mail parcel?" "He sends and you come." "Uzi!" "Haim, good you came." "Who's this?" "It's none of your business." "Come in." "Come here, Haim." "What?" "Wait outside, and be sure no one enters." "Even if it's urgent." "Got it?" "Do me a favor." "Go home, explain to your father that the old days are gone, where parents tell their children what to do." "You want me to go?" "What else, that you stay here?" "Wait, what did you think?" "You'll come to my office and that's it?" "You don't want me?" "What kind of a question is that?" "This is my office..." "Haim, what happened?" "He's got some girl, a delicacy." "Uzi's with a chic in his office?" "Can't be." "Come, listen." "The minute Nisim arrives, I want you to go home." "By the way, he knows you're here?" "No." "No, I don't believe." "Fine, so we wait for Nisim." "Who's there?" "It's me, Nisim." "Good you came." "Please, look at our guest." "What are you doing here?" "Father told me to come." "What, he's totally nuts?" "Why did you agree?" "You can't argue with him." "Come home." "No, I'm afraid of him." "Don't worry, it'll be fine." "Come, I'll talk to him." "Come already." "Sometimes father becomes hysterical." "But it passes." "Nisim, the ring!" "What a mess is going on here today." "Congratulations." "Hi." "Hi, Haham Gamliel." "Hello, hello." "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." "Am I bothering?" "You're not bothering." "You never bother me." "Come, let's go." "Goodbye, Haham Gamliel." "Goodbye, and good luck." "Take care of her." "Thank you." "This one, whoever sees her on Sunday, his whole week is ruined." "Yes." "A pickle, next to her looks like compote." "So how are you, Schug?" "Congratulations, Haham Gamliel." "To you too and good luck." "That's it, I have no luck." "My father, may he rest in peace, always said:" ""lf your luck works, you can relax"." "Maybe you can make me a potion, so I'll have luck?" "Sit, sit, Schug." "Thank you." "Maybe we'll make you a charm?" "Does it hurt?" "lf you don't yell it won't hurt." "Put your hand." "Where?" "Here, on this page." "Put it." "Man, this is a hand?" "This is a horseshoe." "I wrote there the name of God, is there a greater one than Him?" "No." "Now inhale some incense too." "Come close." "Open your mouth." "Open your mouth, don't be afraid." "Open, open your mouth, Bilam." "From distress I called Thee..." "Now I'll get luck?" "You'll get it, Schug, it has to come." "Open your mouth." "But if it doesn't come, Schug, don't be afraid." "Just know," "God loves the oppressed, the miserable and the sufferers." "That's why he made a lot of them too." "That's it, we're done." "Close your mouth." "Be well, Haham Gamliel." "Get well, Schug." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "1 0 Lirot." "Put it on the table." "Dina, don't worry." "It'll be all right, I'll talk to father." "Hello, Nisim." "What is she doing here?" "What are you doing here?" "You're not at work?" "I'm going to work, I just came by to congratulate the wise-one." "Stop smiling at her." "Come on, go away, go." "Dina, what are you doing here?" "I brought her back, father." "I see very well that you brought her back." "I have eyes." "But why did you bring her?" "Wait, father, what did you think?" "That you'll send her and she'll stay with him?" "Look, Nisim." "One moment." "Dina, go upstairs." "Father, maybe allow me to explain to you what exactly happened?" "Look, Nisim, it won't help you right now..." "Dina." "By law." "You don't even know what you're talking about." "If they get divorced, you'll have a divorced sister, who'll take her?" "Yes, but why is he guilty?" "But she's not guilty either, the poor thing." "He betrothed her, right?" "Why should he divorce her now?" "Anyway, Nisim, a groom wants a virgin today." "She's still a virgin." "How do you know that?" "Father, I know nothing happened between them, and couldn't have." "She was only 1 0 seconds with him." "1 0 seconds, that's how you know?" "Father, don't make a big deal out of it." "It's not an affair, they are married." "Fine, fine, married." "Then annul the marriage." "No, no, Nisim." "There are greater and wiser men than me." "If they want, they'll annul, if they don't want to, they won't." "You'll drive me crazy with your stubbornness." "Nisim." "Leave me alone." "Nisim." "What a generation, what a generation." "We planted them, they want to uproot us." "Everything's O.K.?" "Great." "I brought her home." "No problems." "O.K." "I brought her there safely, and left her with him." "But she's back here." "Where?" "She's here." "And you'll take her back there." "Again?" "Even a thousand times more." "She has to be with him." "As it is said, "She has to be with him"." "Stay here, take care of all the things we talked about." "Fine." "It'll explode at 4 p.m." "Another 1 5 minutes, 2 minutes after the siren." "Ok, I'm going back to the office." "I'm taking your jeep." "Fine." "See you." "O.K." "I received an urgent document, signed by 2 witnesses." "That's why I invited you." "This is very serious." "I was forced to cancel your wedding date." "Because your groom to be is already married." "I'm really sorry, Ms. Shlosberg." "Hello, Uzi?" "Uzi?" "Uzi, it's me, Ruthy." "Hello, who's there?" "Great, the second act begins." "You're here again?" "What am I going to do with you?" "Hello?" "Yes." "What is it, Ruthy?" "Uzi, I called you before." "Who picked up the phone?" "Why did you hang up?" "Praised be His name." "Hello?" "Uzi?" "Yes, Ruthy." "Uzi, what's going on with you?" "I tried to reach you all afternoon, say, what's going on there?" "I wasn't notified." "Are you still in the office?" "Yes." "What are you doing there so late?" "Work schedules for tomorrow." "When will you get home?" "I don't know, it depends on when I finish." "Don't come back late." "Fine, I'll try." "Give me a goodnight kiss." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "Uzi's car is already here." "He probably arrived early today." "Good morning, Nisim." "Good morning." "Since when are you here?" "From yesterday." "Good you're here, I need your jeep." "Come on." "Where are you going?" "For a ride in the quarry." "We're going, ah?" "Do you speak Yiddish?" "No." "What should I do, Rabbi?" "I told you 3 times already, I'm not a Rabbi." "I'm sorry." "People told me you'd help my son." "First of all, you have nothing to worry about." "This disease he has is a well know disease." "There's nothing to be ashamed of." "Almost every Jew has this disease." "Whoever doesn't have it, will get it." "So what do I have to do?" "Take 3-4 large teaspoons of Syrian pepper, mix it well with a dried onion, add one cup of boiling oil, and so your son doesn't know what he's drinking, add a little sugar, because if he'll know, he'll start biting." "Poor thing." "And this will help?" "Sure, it'll help." "But if this doesn't help, then God will help." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "1 5 lirot." "Get well." "Goodbye, goodbye." "Goodbye." "Did you see?" "Ruthy, good that you came." "Look at your face and see if you're happy I came." "You're as pale as whitewash." "Pale?" "It's probably from the dust." "How did you get here?" "By taxi." "Ruthy, meet Dina." "Dina, Ruthy." "She's your work schedule?" "What schedule?" "Because of this tramp you stayed here all night?" "Ruthy, how are you talking?" "How do you want me to talk to you?" "Ruthy, wait." "Let me explain, she just got here, believe me." "Just now, are you sure?" "What do you mean?" "I was home all night, you don't believe me?" "When did you get home?" "At 1 2 midnight." "Interesting, I called you, and there was no answer all night long." "But, Ruthy, Ruthy..." "Ruthy..." "Let go of me." "Ruthy, let me explain, you don't understand what's going on." "Ruthy, let me explain." "What more do you want to explain?" "Do you want to complicate yourself with more lies?" "Ruthy, come on, don't make a big deal." "No deal." "Either you end it today, or we're through." "Go." "Ruthy!" "Dina, where are you going?" "Dina, wait." "Dina!" "This is better than "The Forsythe Saga"." "Give me one moment." "Wait..." "Why are you running away?" "Dina, wait." "Uzi, Uzi, where are you going?" "Hold on, Uzi." "Dina, what are you doing here?" "What happened, Dina?" "O.K., why are you like this?" "Dina, what have they done to you?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "You're trembling like..." "What happened?" "Somebody did something to you?" "Who?" "Schug." "What did Schug want from you?" "I don't know what he wanted from me." "But wait, how did you get to Schug if you were supposed to be by..." "I ran away." "Ran away?" "From your husband?" "Why, what did he do to you?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "You were with him all night long." "Dina." "What's nothing?" "She came." "Who?" "His girlfriend, his future wife." "Wife?" "What wife, you're his wife." "He doesn't want me, father." "He knows what he wants?" "O.K., don't worry." "Everything will turn out." "He'll kiss one, forget the other." "Don't worry." "Go, go upstairs now." "We'll talk about it later in your room, inside." "Samucha." "Dina came to visit her father." "She missed me." "Poor thing." "The snake!" "Welcome, friend." "Is Dina here?" "You don't say, hello?" "Hello." "Did Dina come home?" "Sure, where else would she be?" "If she has trouble, she's better off at her father's home." "Samucha, they came to visit, the bride and the groom." "Congratulations." "May she burn up." "She's upstairs, waiting for you." "I was worried about you." "I came to apologize about what she said." "I'm really sorry." "Never mind." "She loves me for a long time." "She won't give up, I know." "Look, Dina, I really like you, but we'll have to separate." "So let's part as friends." "Don't go." "Haham Gamliel." "What?" "Do you think it'll work out for them?" "How did King Solomon say, Shalom?" ""Three were greater than me, and four I did not know." ""The way of the eagle in the sky, the way of the snake on the cliff," ""the way of the ship in the sea..." ""and the way of a man and a woman"." "Shalom, don't say there's someone upstairs." "My mouth is also sealed." "Hello." "Hello." "Are you Mr. Gamliel?" "He's Haham Gamliel." "Shalom, lock your mouth." "Yes, that's correct, I'm Gamliel." "Who's the lady?" "My name is Ruthy Shlosberg." "Does it mean anything to you?" "Shalom, does that mean anything to you?" "That it needs to be changed." "Silence." "I'm Uzi's girlfriend." "Oh, nice to meet you." "Sit down, please." "Sit, lady, please, sit." "Uzi's girlfriend, nice to meet you." "And who's the gentleman?" "My name is Yacobson." "Congratulations." "He's a lawyer from Jerusalem." "Good for you." "How do I deserve, that a Jerusalem lawyer, bothers to come all the way over here to visit me?" "We came to settle the matter, let me just talk to her." "Is she home?" "One moment." "Shalom." "Is Dina home?" "No, she's not home." "Did you hear?" "Shalom says she's not home." "Then where is she now?" "Probably with her husband." "What husband?" "They barely know each other." "I see I'll have to let my attorney handle this." "Please, let, why don't you, so he'll also talk a little." "That's what you're paid for, isn't it?" "So talk, too, Mr. Yacobowitz." "Yacobson." "O.K." "Mr. Gamliel, allow me to ask you something on my client's behalf." "Sorry, who's your client?" "Ms. Ruth Shlosberg." "Oh, good luck." "Mr. Gamliel, according to what, did you determine, that Dina Gamliel and Uzi Shapira are married?" "According to the high court of the heavens." "Shalom." "What?" "Go get the witnesses." "And on which state law are you basing this on?" "On the book of books." "What, it's not a state law?" "What are you trying to say?" "I want to say, that now, the whole matter is in the hands of the rabbinate." "In addition, we plead that the witnesses signed on the document," "Zacki Moshe, store keeper, and Zuberi Ezra, synagogue attendant, aren't valid, because the above were under alcoholic influence." "My learned friend, just so you know." "Moshe Zacki, not only doesn't drink alcohol, not even Arak, because he suffers from high blood pressure, reaching 200." "How do you know?" "I know." "And Ezra Zuberi, has a swinging liver." "He only smells Arak from a distance and gets noisy coughs." "You don't have to be afraid, just tell the truth." "Here they come, both of the above." "Stand here." "Hello, Moshe." "Hello." "Hello, Ezra." "Hello." "Hello, please, meet the lawyer from Jerusalem." "Nice to meet you." "May I ask them a few questions?" "You sure may." "Gentlemen, would you be willing to testify under oath in court, that you witnessed Mr. Shapira betroth Mr. Gamliel's daughter?" "Why in a courthouse?" "There's no need for a courthouse." "So I understand you refuse to swear." "No, no, they'll go and testify under oath in a court house." "Won't you, Moshe?" "Why is there a need for a court, Haham Gamliel?" "You don't want to go to court, Moshe, then isn't it a shame that you do go, and from there to a life sentence?" "Because you sold in your store moth balls, and said it was mint candies, and poisoned half of the village." "Mr. Gamliel, you're threatening your witness." "God forbid, I'm not threatening, I'm just reminding them." "Haham Gamliel, may I speak with you with four eyes (privately)?" "Four eyes?" "Go ahead, even with ten eyes." "Eyes don't affect me, I have problems with my legs." "Shalom." "Come, help me inside, and I'll talk with the lady." "It says, "a settlement is better than condemnations and witnesses"." "Isn't it like that, Mr. Yacobi?" "Yacobson, Mr. Gamliel." "Ok." "Haham Gamliel, may we go?" "You're still here?" "Get lost before Shalom loses you." "Slowly, Shalom, slowly." "One moment, Shalom." "Do you know I'm fond of you?" "Do you love her?" "He loves me, and I love him." "Do you understand?" "There's nothing between them." "They won't be happy." "You're just making three people miserable." "Why three?" "Why not four?" "She is my daughter." "If she's miserable, so am I." "Yes, but she can find herself someone else." "She's a pretty girl." "Well, you're not so ugly either." "You can also find yourself someone else, she's already found." "I'd give up, but it's too late." "Late?" "How late?" "I didn't want to talk about it." "But I see I'm forced to tell you." "What happened?" "I'll tell you, but it must stay between us." "I'm sorry, but may I have a cup of coffee?" "No." "I can't leave you." "So don't leave." "The one who'll be miserable is Dina." "But what can we do, maybe it's the will of God." "She won't even understand, how I suddenly agreed to annul the marriage." "Fine, here's the letter." "I hope, with God's help, everything will turn out in peace." "I don't know how to thank you, Haham Gamliel." "Atonement for our sins." "We even kiss a dog, if we need its help." "Shalom." "Go upstairs and call him." "Shalom." "Knock on the door before you enter." "And she?" "She, should stay upstairs." "Who's there?" "It's me, Shalom." "What do you want?" "Haham sent me to call your husband." "I'll be right back." "Why?" "You wanted a divorce, did you or didn't you?" "You did." "Yes, but why..." "No "buts"." "You have it." "But what happened?" "Why did you change your mind?" "It's best for everyone." "Trust me." "There was nothing between you." "Right?" "Since you didn't..." "do you understand?" "No, I don't understand." "There's something else." "I'm sure you're hiding something from me." "Go, my friend, go." "Go so she doesn't see you again, the poor girl." "As it is she suffered enough from you." "Go." "Go." "Go." "Uzi." "Where did he go?" "Maybe Haham knows." "Father, why did Uzi leave without saying a word?" "Come here, Dina." "Sit." "Sit near me." "Shalom, leave us alone for a second." "It's good that Uzi left." "Believe me." "It wasn't easy for me, Dina, but I annulled the marriage." "Rush marriages, Dina, are a waste of a blessing." "But father, I love him." "How do you love?" "Love?" "One day, and already you love?" "Anyway, if marriage was a good thing, God wouldn't be alone." "But why did you suddenly agree?" "I had to, Dina, I didn't have a choice." "But why?" "I promised not to tell, but..." "May God forgive me." "She's pregnant by him." "How do you know?" "She was here." "Go." "I still love her." "I want to marry her." "I don't even care if she's divorced." "Shalom, get him out of here..." "But why?" "Don't you see that Haham is busy?" "He promised to make me more medicine." "Something stronger." "You'll get something strong in a second, that no medicine will help." "What?" "Why?" "No, fine, I'll go out by myself." "So what if I told him I was pregnant?" "You lied." "Yes, I lied." "So what?" "You have to thank me for that I got you out of this whole thing." "Why are you silent?" "Leave me, all right?" "Is it over, finally?" "Yes, it's over." "What's this?" "She didn't want to return it to him." "She said he left it to her as a souvenir." "Father, maybe you explain to her that it's good it ended?" "Goodbye." " Goodbye, Nisim." "Sit." "Sit down, Dina." "You love him, don't you?" "Never mind, Dina." "Time will heal you." "You may not know, Dina, but 40 days before a person is born," "it is written in the heaven who will be his intended mate." "You don't have to be sad, Dina." "He'll come." "Your groom." "Even if he takes his time, he must come." "Since you're written in the heaven." "40 days before you were born." "Nisim, what happened?" "Haim told me you want to leave already tomorrow." "What's the matter with you?" "We haven't spoken in 2 months." "Uzi, leave me alone, O.K.?" "I understand you're angry with me, but I don't understand why?" "If you don't understand, there's no use in explaining." "I thought that due to our relationship, we can speak openly." "Look, I didn't want to hurt her." "Uzi, let go of it, all right?" "Why?" "Because, leave her alone." "At least tell me why you want to leave." "Do you want me to tell you the truth?" "You slut!" "Now you cry?" "Why didn't you think about it earlier?" "You told me there was nothing between you." "Look." "Who will want you now with your belly?" "Now listen well to what your father says to you." "Schug says he wants you, and you are going to marry him." "No, father, I will die." "You're going to marry him whether you want to or not." "No, no." "Dina!" "What happened to her?" "If a son is trouble, Shalom, then a girl is trouble with a band." "O.K., why are you standing like Og King of Bashan?" "Run after her, see what happened." "Where are you running?" "To the quarry." "Come on up." "All's ready?" "Yes, everything's ready, blow-up in 5 minutes." "Call me at the office after the explosion, and tell me the situation." "All right." "I hope there won't be any problems." "See you." "See you." "Where are you running?" "Beautiful." "Get your hand off." "Let go of me, let go." "Stop, let go." "You're crazy." "Dina?" "Dina, where to?" "Dina!" "Dina, where are you running?" "Dina, no!" "Dina, there's going to be an explosion there!" "Dina, no!" "Count down, 1 0, 9, 8..." "Dina!" "Dina, wait, Dina!" "With the coming of the Messiah we'll be comforted." "Amen." "What is he doing here?" "Getting a treatment against the evil eye, who were you looking for?" "Where's Dina?" "Upstairs." "Wait, what, he's going to Dina?" "What about me?" "Shalom, go call Samucha's daughter." ""Haham Gamliel"" "English subtitles:" "Elrom Studios."
