"like new." "So I thought that as a third encore I would tell you a story that I would tell before the television and the Japanese. lt goes like this:" "A message arrives at a base that a soldiers' mother had died." "They sat in the office, and thought of how to inform him because he was a sensitive soldier." "Suddenly the Sargent Major came in and said," "" Leave it to me." "I' ll tell him in the morning."" "In the morning he faced the Company and said," Company attention" "" At ease." "Pay attention, Berkowitz," "" l have an unhappy announcement for you." "" A fire broke out in your home and both your parents were burnt alive." ""Your little sister panicked and jumped from the balcony but fell on your aunt who came to visit and the both died instantly." So Berkowitz collapsed and fainted." "So the sergeant major comes and says to him, " Get up you donkey, I was pulling your leg, " it's only your mother."" "Come up for coffee or something?" "Coffee or something?" "We' ll start with the coffee and carry on with the something." "Come." "Why should I pay the travel expenses?" "If I pay travel expenses what will I have left, Tuvia." "Really." "You know what?" "It would be better if he volunteered the performance and you pay the expenses." "Yes, and I can't give him to you every day for free." "Who is that, Tuvia?" "What do you think, income Tax are suckers?" "No, I can't give a free performance every day." "A guy has to earn a few cents." "No more performances till Kiryat Malachi is paid." "No performances." "Alright Tuvia, think about it and get back to me with a proposal that's much more concrete and I' ll wait for you." "OK goodbye." "is this what you call ten thirty?" "I was involved in discussions." "Discussions" "Yes." "Modi, it won't work out like this." "It's not serious." "It's impossible to work like this." "What do you want from me?" "What do I?" "Look at yourself." "I didn't have time for a shower." "What do you want?" "Have a look at yourself, tell me." "What do you want from me?" "How can you be like that?" "I don't understand you." "Why can't you find a nice girl with a good heart, a head, and a soul, to look after you." "Hezi, why are you talking about things that you don't understand?" "Why are you talking about women?" "Let me explain something about women to you." "A woman needs to have an ass." "Everything else..." "I mean, she could have everything else, she can have a heart, she can have a soul, it's all worth shit if she doesn't have an ass." "But why am I trying to explain to you things that you don't understand." "Let me ask you about things that you do understand." "Tell me, what about the television?" "What television?" "What television?" "I' m asking you what about television." "You ask me about television." "What's with the television?" "Did you talk to them, suck up to them?" "Modi, Modi, Listen." "Nu?" "Put it well into your head." "What?" "They don't want you." "Don't you understand that?" "Yes but... what am I asking for?" "What?" "Go to Shabtai. invite him to one of my performances, just once to see me." "Where?" "What?" "Where will I bring him?" "To Kiryat Ata to a bar mitzvah?" "Or to the beauty queen contest at Netivot. I ask you?" "Do you think they come to places like that?" "Certainly not Shabtai." "But what am I asking for?" "What?" "To host a prime time program on lndependence Day?" "To present the evening news?" "Half a skit, quarter of a joke." "Decide..." "Hezi, what, why?" "Modi, leave the television in it's place, and us in ours." "You' re no child and I' m certainly not either." "Yechezkiel..." "Good, nu, I' ll see what I can do." "In the meantime, my boy, until you are a star, please." "What's that?" "Forgot?" "Tomorrow you got bingo at the Retirement Home." "3 4. 3 4." "I've got it, I've got it." "Good, moment, 1 2!" "1 2." "No, don't write yet, not yet." "We've got plenty of time, haven't we?" "5." "Bingo." "You've won two tickets to a performance of Chicholina." "Waiting for someone?" "You." "Me?" "What about?" "A story." "Story?" "Yes, for the school newspaper." "Ah." "Why about me?" "Our school is doing a project on performers." "Everyone is writing about celebrities." "I thought I'd show another side to the profession." "Another side?" "Am I another side?" "What's your name?" "Daniella" "Daniella." "A long name for a girl so small..." "how old are you?" "Seventeen and a half and you?" "l' m over twenty." "How much over?" "Another twenty over." "You wanted an interview." "It's not too convenient here." "No, I thought perhaps you could take me home and we could talk on the way." "Home?" "My home." "Of course." "So... come on." "Should we go in?" "l don't want to embarrass my mother." "Ah." "Good, you wanted to interview me." "Start asking." "Why are you still in the profession?" "What?" "You' re not doing too well, right?" "I didn't mean to hurt you." "No, you didn't hurt me." "Why am I still in the business?" "I think for two reasons." "Firstly I like it." "And secondly, it's the only thing I know how to do." "Does that sound like a good answer?" "So so." "Tell me, those who've succeeded, are you jealous of them?" "Who?" "Gidi Shacham, for instance." "Jealous?" "Of Gidi Shacham?" "From the top you can fall." "Me, where can I fall too?" "You' re not writing anything." "You' re not telling me the truth." "For a first interview I actually am." "So, thank you." "What, thank you?" "It was short, wasn't it?" "When you' re serious, we can continue." "How can I be serious?" "I' m a comedian." "Daniella..." "That's too long." "lt's impossible to shorten." "It's cut exactly according to the music." "You' ll shorten it, got it?" "I don't understand, what's the problem to shorten it, Shimon?" "Listen, kid." "Come here, come here, look at that piece." "Yes?" "Who?" "Which Hezi?" "What's it about?" "No way, he's busy." "Urgent?" "Ok, I' ll check." "Shabtai!" "What is it?" "What happened?" "A Hezi Sharon was looking for you on the telephone." "No, now, really, lets stop it." "We' ll go over it again." "Good." "Start over." "Excuse me, who are you?" "Hezi Sharon." "What, aren't you on the phone?" "l spoke with you from the other room." "Hezi, shalom." "Hi." "What's going on here, tell me?" "What, what's going on?" "Two minutes." "No, no, really, I' m busy." "I can't. really." "Nu Ok, Ok, stop, stop." "Come." "Cheek." "Damned cheek." "Ok." "We' ll play again." "Do you know what I' m up against now?" "The most prestigious television production." "Stars from all over the world." "Live broadcast." "Gidi Shacham is the host and...." "l simply don't have time for anything else." "Great, Shabtai, do me a favor." "Maybe work him into the program." "Are you out of your mind?" "Modi Gazit?" "Do you want everyone to laugh at me?" "The guy's forty." "Twenty years on stage." "I think he deserves a chance for once." "I' m not talking about a performance." "Just to be seen." "Good, Ok, you know what?" "Bring him on Monday." "I've got the studio." "We can grab an empty room, and see what he can do." "Shabtai, I won't forget this." "Welcome, welcome." "Thank you." "Hi." "Hello." "Lose something?" "What, no, but you did." "This." "My pen!" "Right." "That's what you came for?" "Yes." "Thank you." "Pleasure." "Tell me?" "Do you have pictures?" "Pictures?" "Photographs, for the article." "Ah, no, I didn't think..." "So wait a minute, I' ll just go and fetch a camera." "OK?" "OK." "Hang on, I' ll adjust the focus on you." "Look at me." "Smile a little." "A real smile. smile a little." "I want to see teeth." "Lovely!" "That's it." "Lovely." "Tell me, what's happening?" "You' re a comedian?" "Make me laugh." "A bit of life." "Good, now you' re funny." "Hold it, hold it..." "Nu!" "That's it, that's it." "Wait." "Wait." "What happened?" "What's that?" "Blood." "A drop of blood." "It's nonsense." "That's nothing." "What's nonsense?" "lt's nothing!" "l also banged my foot." "Perhaps we' ll hospitalize you." "Let me see, show me for a minute." "You' re going to die." "Why do you joke when the person is hurt?" "Are you really forty?" "Yes." "So come, I' ll buy you ice cream." "Hello!" "What?" "What?" "I thought of that." "About the interview you did, I really wasn't correct." "You were right, but I've got an excuse." "First time I've been interviewed for a newspaper." "Really?" "Yes." "Forty years old, twenty years in the business." "You know, when I was your age in high school, the Second Temple era, when... I was in the drama club, I always had the leading roles." "Everyone was sure that I would succeed and I was sure that I was talented." "Later when I hit the market it turned out that talent isn't all." "You need some other body parts that..." "Elbows, teeth." "Especially tongue." "That I don't have." "I took a promoter, Hezi." "He's nice but maybe he's too nice." "It's not that there aren't shows." "There are, there are." "Sea queens, mainly in the desert." "Bar mitzvahs for army veterans, too." "But the establishment isn't prepared to recognize me." "Not once have I been on television." "Not once have I been on radio." "And the first newspaper interview I get is with a 1 7 year old girl who interviews me as a loser for her school newspaper." "Funny." "Sad." "Fact." "Have you ever thought why?" "What?" "Why aren't you a success?" "You perform well." "You look good." "Think well." "You' re OK." "Why don't you succeed?" "I don't have the strength to think about it any more." "I do." "What?" "l think I know why." "Daniella!" "What's happening?" "Alright." "Eyal, what's happening?" "Great." "Getting ready for the History exam?" "Not getting ready for the History exam." "From the War of lndependence to the Six Day War doesn't interest me." "You'd better prepare." "Forget it, do you guys want ice cream?" "No." "Thanks." "We' re going to study at Yuval's." "You coming?" "This is Modi." "Pleased to meet you." "They' re in my class." "Ronit and Eyal." "So call me, OK?" "Yes, I' ll call this evening." "So bye." "Bye" "The Six Day War is History?" "I was in the reserves." "Eat your ice cream, grandpa." "It's sour, smell." "He sees there's no choice so he says," "" Hear O Israel," and stands." "Bang!" "Then he says, " Blessed be the Lord."" "Bye, -bye." "Daniella, going already?" "You've got ice cream." "Lick the lips." "I meant yours but it doesn't matter." "Daniella." "Yes?" "is everything alright?" "Fantastic." "Good." "Now I can relax." "His name is Modi Gazit." "He's forty years old." "He's a comedian." "Modi Gazit, forty and a comedian." "Great." "Sounds perfect." "is there anything else I should know?" "Yes, he's magnificent." "Sorry." "OK ." "You've got three minutes to make me laugh." "Three minutes?" "Five seconds have gone." "Show him the commercial." "Yes, but..." "What's that, did you bring requisitions?" "lt's not alright?" "Alright, alright, do what you want." "Shabtai, it's a good piece." "Lovely." "What's that?" "lt's a commercial." "What I mean, its a parody on a commercial." "You know, like on television these days, I don't have to tell you." "On television, a commercial on fruit and vegetables..." "Arye Cohen?" "No, he's in the powder room. -l was there." "He's not there." "Excuse me, can't you see we' re working here?" "Good, carry on." "lt's a parody on a commercial." "There's this commercial on television on fruit" ", on vegetables, and I thought..." "I thought maybe...-carry on, nu." "Commercial on religious repentance." "Shabtai." "For me?" "What, for me?" "Hello, yes?" "Good, in two minutes time I' ll be down." "No, she sings two songs and that's it." "Two, you hear me?" "Two." "So where were we?" "A commercial." "Good." "Parody on commercials." "There are commercials on fruit, on vegetables, so I said what would happen if we would do a commercial on religious repentance." "As we say." "Parody." "Why is this child thin?" "He's not in the powder room." "He told me he would be in there, so he's in the powder room." "So, continue." "Parody on a commercial on religious repentance." "Why is this child thin?" "Why does this child in Biafra weigh only twelve kilos?" "Because he didn't fast on Yom Kippur!" "He's not in the powder room!" "Get the hell out of here, already!" "What's your problem, idiot!" "What are you doing to me?" "Why are you disturbing me?" "Why?" "What happened to you?" "Shut up!" "Why are you disturbing me all the time." "I don't understand it." "What's happening to you?" "I can't carry on like this." "You set up a test in front of one person?" "This is a test?" "Can't you come and see me performing?" "Modi!" "Tell me, where did you get that cheek of yours, you absolute nothing, ah?" "Go fuck yourself and your television and you can all climb up my ass." "Shabtai, Shabtai, just a minute." "Understand, he's nervous." "Listen, you'd better tell your friend and get it well into your head, too, that as long as I work here at the television he won't come near the place, not even to make tea." "That's that." "How was it?" "How was what?" "What what?" "Shabtai, the television test." "Ah, Shabtai, Shabbi." "We became friends." "What a personality, what..." "just wonderful, personality, like charismatic, you should have seen how he received me right away, " have some coffee or something..." great." "Then he said, " show us a piece"" "simply, he didn't let me talk, he was laughing so much." "In the end he said, " Now what do you want on television," "" it's all yours." "When there's a television strike" ""you' ll be the one to do the toooot..."" "Shabtai..." "That bad?" "Even worse." "Hello?" "Hezi!" "Yes, Hi, Daniella." "OK." "No, he's OK, he's OK." "What does he want?" "Alright, just a minute." "What does he want?" "You." "What do you want?" "I' m OK!" "Hezi, I' m OK." "I' m over it, nu." "Stop it, nu!" "What?" "To a pub?" "I don't feel like it." "Don't feel like it..." "what do you want?" "What?" "Good, I've been influenced." "Bye bye, see you." "Why a pub?" "That's what you want now?" "I also had a test today in grammar." "So?" "Lousy. -lf you had a grammar test, tell me how do you say in Hebrew, I' m depressed or I' m depressed?" "What?" "Let's go drink something." "Great, here it is, thank you." "Here, that's the third glass." "Fourth, don't count for me." "I want to drink a toast to Shabtai, the television:" "May he live to a hundred and twenty, go to heaven where they sit him opposite a video and force him to see all his programs." "I need to go to the bathroom." "Do you want me to come with you?" "No, it's OK." "Are you alright?" "Was it so bad today?" "It was disgraceful." "They didn't even let him open his mouth." "Hezi, you know him forty years, I only know him a month but... lt really tears him apart, doesn't it?" "Can't we do something?" "I don't know, some trick that can bring him to television?" "After what happened today with Shabtai, dear." "He..." "Oh no!" "Gidi Shacham." "Gazit!" "How are you doing..." "The great Gidi Shacham." "What's happening, Gazit?" "Alright, and with you?" "Fine, everything's fine, going?" "Everything, appearing?" "Great, great!" "On the road." "Great, great!" "Weren't you at the studio today?" "Thanks." "Gidi Shacham." "Did you hear what's happening there?" "Ah?" "Something big, a program!" "What's that?" "A samba band from Brazil, dancers from Holland and that Japanese." "Did you see that Japanese on television?" "He's on my show." "I' m the only Israeli on the show." "l' m happy that you' re succeeding." "Yes." "Great." "Come here, come here, don't go, where are you running to?" "Gidi Shacham." "Something new in jokes?" "Jokes?" "You want me to tell you jokes?" "Gidi Shacham invented Israeli humor, I must..." "The photographs, the photographs, something small." "How do you know you' re at a Persian bar mitzvah?" "They throw candy tied to a rubber band." "Keep well, Modi." "Hi, Gidi!" "Hello, what's happening?" "Shalom." "What's new?" "Sit, sit..." "He suits the television like the television is suited to him." "What happened?" "Did something happen between you?" "Nothing" "He's not worth talking about." "Congratulations on your new socks." "It's for me?" "Can I drink it?" "Hey, Teddy Kollek, I feel sorry for him." "He always says on television," "" ln Jerusalem there are plenty of entertainment spots" "" twenty four hours a day," "" the Western Wall, the Casualty Department and the Police HQ..."" "Thank you, thank you." "Waitress, waitress." "One time twice and twice one time with a straw." "With a piece of straw." "Peace be with you?" "Yosef what happened, how are you...?" "What happened?" "Did you see our friend, Chicholina?" "They saw, I saw, a bumper ( fender) I bumped." "Enough, what's with the clapping?" "Hey, I've got a great new joke." "Fantastic." "How can you tell you' re at a Persian bar mitzvah?" "How?" "They' re throwing candy tied to a elastic at the bar mitzvah boy." "Maniac!" "You shitty joke stealer." "Modi!" "What do you need to steal my jokes for?" "Don't you have your own?" "You big star, you." "Why must he steal my jokes, why?" "No, I know, it's stupid." "Why must you, the great Gidi Shacham, steal from me who they won't even let in as a grapefruit in a commercial on television." "Just a minute." "Leave me alone." "I know what I' m saying!" "Tell me, why do you have to appear three times a week on television and they don't even take me once?" "Why?" "Leave me, stop it." "I' m drunk but I' m not a liar." "I' m not a liar." "I know exactly what I' m saying." "Your mouth stinks from licking Shabtai's ass, you' re a piece of rubbish." "Stop!" "Leave me." "Leave me." "Go down." "Go to hell, idiot." "What the garden does to a person." "I' m telling you." "Oh God." "I' m not drunk." "On the contrary, Daniella." "Right now I can see everything crystal clear." "Look how idiotic the profession is!" "Look at it." "The man's an idiot, he steals a joke from me and I get angry." "What a stupid profession!" "It's a collection, this profession, a collection of ego trippers, ego maniacs and paranoids and I' m like them." "I... why do I need it?" "What do I need this profession for?" "I' ll go, I' ll go to kibbutz, I' ll become religious." "I' ll start making tapestries, what?" "Pity I didn't think of it ten years ago." "I' m a fool." "Do you remember that I said to you that I know why you don't succeed?" "Because you don't dare to go through with things to the end." "You get angry, get cross." "Get angry at others who succeed, why do you care about others?" "Concentrate on what you know, on your talent." "What more can I do, what?" "What, what are you doing?" "Do you have courage?" "Why?" "ldea." "It won't work, Daniella." "We' ll all go to jail." "Why won't it work?" "Why, because things like that are only in movies." "It's only in America." "You don't have the guts. -l don't have guts?" "I' m not built for it." "Besides, I don't have the strength." "Hezi, have you seen "Tootsy" ?" "Yes." ""Victor Victoria" , did you see that?" "That too." "Nu?" "Nu?" "Nu?" "That proves that it's only in the movies." "Here it's for real." "But he's an actor. lt' ll work." "He can do it." "It' ll work, nu!" "Daniella, this week I've had enough of him, of Shabtai." "I don't want to ruin my career." "Hezi, it's his chance, it's your chance." "What can you lose?" "Where is he?" "Shalom, do you have a Japanese guest called Yasaki Tamasuto?" "Yes." "We' re speaking from the television." "How is your English?" "Fine." "Please." "Hello, good morning, Mr. Tamasuto?" "Yes, it's from the Israeli Television." "Tonight at eight, but we shall come to pick you up at six." "No, it's alright, thank you, goodbye." "Hi." "How do you do?" "Yes, please, please give me." "Bravo, bravo." "Nu, what now?" "Go to the Educational Television i spoke to the guard." "We thank the Brazilian Samba Group and come to the attraction of the evening." "Ladies and gentlemen first place in the Sword Dancing Festival in Japan." "First place in the Fighting Arts Competition in Los Vegas." "The piece is live and the piece is amazing." "The piece is dangerous." "Ready, Japanese entry." "Camera 3" "Give a round of applause to Yasaki Tamasuto!" "From Japan." "Please." "This way please." "Please, please" "Thank you." "Nice, very nice." "Carpet." "Make up." "Ah, make up." "Pipi." "Ah, pipi?" "Yes." "Thank you." "Thank you, thank you." "Don't say it, all's in order." "I fixed everything." "Will we get there on time?" "Focus on the stage." "Check the dolly over there." "Right." "Stay on from above." "Stay on from above." "Camera 2..." "What's happening here?" "What is that?" "Camera..." "How do you know that you' re at a Persian bar mitzvah?" "Gazit?" "Gazit." "Forgive me." "Forgive me." "Modi Gazit?" "Cut." "Cut..." "No." "Forgive me, really." "I just wanted to appear on television." "It's the first time a thing like this happens on television." "On a live broadcast." "Cut." "Leave it running." "I' ll take responsibility." "So I' ll leave." "If we take it off now, it' ll be a flop." "Firstly, to avoid misunderstandings I' m not called Yasaki Tamasuto." "My name is Modi Gazit, artiste." "Not a Japanese artiste, an Israeli artiste." "Furthermore, I've never been to Japan." "So what if I've never been to Japan, I've never been on Israeli television." "And that's a bit strange, because I' m an Israeli artiste." "Why haven't I been on Israeli television?" "I don't know." "Maybe because I' m not called Yasaki Tamasuto, but because I' m called Modi Gazit and here at the television they want a Japanese sword dancer or a bazuki player from Greece or an Eskimo who picks on a shark's strings." "It may sound funny to you but it's not funny." "It's my profession and they've never let me, never let me appear on television." "Why?" "I' m sorry if I spoiled your celebration." "But to ask " why" it is sometimes worth spoiling celebrations." "Why?" "What..." "Come closer with that camera, here I am on television." "Come, come, tell me." "What am I?" "Am I not handsome enough?" "Maybe I' m not talented." "Maybe, maybe I' m not talented." "Let them give me a chance to prove if I' m talented or not." "Those guys from the television up in the control room, can you see me?" "I swear that I invited them to my performances, many times but they were busy with a Brazilian protest song singer at the Yarkon Park so they couldn't come and see me in Kfar Saba." "Now I' m on television, I spoil their mood in the middle of a party, so now I' ll tell them a joke." "Hello, is there someone here?" "There was supposed to be a Japanese, instead of one Japanese, there' re 3." "I' ll tell you a story about three Japanese." "Three Japanese were competing to see who was best at karate." "So the first said, " Shustak" which is Japanese for " l am the best."" "The others do this, " Show us what you know?"" "So he says to them, "Take away."" ""Take away" in Japanese means just a minute." "That reminds me of the story about the robber who came into a Japanese restaurant with a pistol, says to the waiter, " Give me the money."" "So the waiter says to him, "To have here or to take away?"" "But that's not connected to anything." "The point is." "No, I' m telling a story." "One moment." "The point is, the second one stands..." "The mosquito flies past, he hits it, he hits the mosquito, it lies down half here, half here." "So the other two say, which is in Japanese, " Not bad, but notice our performance."" "The second one stands, goes like this..." "The other mosquito flies past, hits it, the mosquito still walks on its legs, but it's wings are cut off." "So the third one says..." "Which is Japanese for, " Nothing special."" "He stands and does..." "He was a bit stoned." "Which reminds me of the policeman who stopped a driver and said," "" Do you have papers?"" "So he says to him, " Why, do you have something to roll?"" "Very good!" "Third camera." "and the mosquito is still flying so the other two come to him and say... which in Japanese is, " What's going on?"" "So he says to them..." "which in Japanese is," ""The mosquito is flying, but a father it' ll never be."" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "" lt starts to move" "" lt starts to fly" "" lt can't be stopped" "" lt can't be broken" "" When it starts to move" ""You feel lost" ""You feel uptight" "" lt can't be defined" "" lt can't be explained" "" When it starts to move" "" Suddenly it starts to grow" "" Suddenly it's enormous" "" Suddenly it's out of your control" "" Suddenly there's no yesterday" "" Suddenly it's captured you" "" Suddenly you turn round yourself" "" And it can't be stopped"" "So tell me, how do you think you' re going to cope with this success?" "A star overnight?" "I don't know, I hope with the right proportions." "Do you have plans?" "That is, in my opinion you've reached the top in Israel." "Do you have plans where to go from here?" "I' m still thinking of Israel." "Do you think the time will come when Israel will be too small for you?" "Israel, too small for me?" "No, never." "Get up and go to them!" "Thank you. I love you." "Thank you." "You' re crazy." "Someone will come in." "Nobody comes in when the star is dressing." "Modi, aren't you dressed yet?" "I've got somebody very important." "I really want you to meet him." "So put something on and come out." "What I like about you is your timing." "New York, Los Angeles, I want concentrations of Israelis." "After that we can take the options" "Great. -of Toronto" "Montreal and Maimi, to tan, uh?" "Come and meet," "Modi, I want you to meet Beni Goldstein" "From America." "Pleased to meet you." "Pleased to meet you." "What is this, does he work at Fort Knox?" "Excuse me?" "No, Beni is a big U.S. show producer." "Ah, really." "Yes." "Professional." "Very good." "Professional." "Thank you." "Sorry." "What a type!" "He had all those chains inside, what a sight..." "What is it?" "Modi, he wants to invite you to do five performances in the States and Canada." "What?" "Yes." "New York, Miami, Los Angeles," "Toronto and Montreal." "When?" "ln September." "Oy, September..." "you finish your exams." "You can come with us." "Daniella can come with." "Great!" "Right?" "We' ll see." "What will we see?" "Great, he's waiting for me." "I must run to him." "I' ll see you tomorrow." "Come in the morning." "Yes." "America!" "What happened?" "Daniella?" "Are you joking?" "What, what happened?" "I' m enlisting in September." "Ah, it slipped my mind." "Nu, so what?" "Of course it slipped your mind, you've got a thousand fans." "How can you remember them all?" "What do you want?" "First thing, a guy comes and says to me go to America." "What do I say?" "Daniella will come with us." "And you... really, you make me angry sometimes, you know?" "Daniella..." "They change every night, but you don't." "So?" "America?" "" Shalom, this is Modi Gazit, this is a recorded message," "" l' m busy right now." "Please leave a message after..."" "That's it, stop." "What's that?" "Great." "Thanks." "Good." "Just a minute, come and see this." "On 5th of the month New York, " Hunter College"" "2 500 seats."

"Don't you know that is why I' m going to New York." "For some action on the side." "To your health." "Did you hear about this guy who went to New York, when he got back his girlfriend met him at the airport and said," "" Did you bring me something from New York?"" "So he said to her, " l hope not."" "Very funny." "Leave the packing for a minute." "Very funny." "Come I want to show you something that I think is funny." "It's a skit." "I want to test it on you." "I' ll try it in New York, too." "I' m not sure it' ll work on them..." "look." "The ears are outside." "Suits you." "In our family we love the outdoors." "Every Saturday we go on a trip." "Last Saturday my father woke us up at five o'clock." "Me, my brother, Shimmi and my sister, llanit." "Only my brother, Moshe didn't wake up." "Dad came, gave him a smack, woke him." "Mom came, Why did you hit the child... only Moshe ordered orangeade." "I said to him, " What's this thing with orangeade, Moshe?" "To the airport, please." "What's this 'airport'?" "Hill Billy There lots of airports here." "You must say which one." "Hang on, I' ll look at the tickets." "Where are the tickets?" "Oopa" "You probably put them in the suitcase in the back." "Right." "Where are you flying to?" "Loa Angeles." "Los Angeles." "La Guardia." "Yes, La Guardia." "La Guardia." "You don't remember me, do you?" "No." "How would you remember?" "It was dark." "7 3, right after the war." "We were on the other side of the canal, near lsmaeliya." "Platoon of paratroopers." "You came." "Performed in the dark." "You stood there and told us jokes." "We all cried." "I've seen plenty of shows but that one I' ll never forget." "You don't remember?" "What do you mean, don't remember?" "Your platoon commander was Yardeni?" "Wow, you remember!" "Good God." "So how long have you been here?" "Ever since." "Since 7 3?" "Yes, yes." "Why don't you come back to Israel?" "Look, I' m Israeli." "I married an American, the girls go to school, hardly know Hebrew." "You understand?" "Not too well." "Hello?" "Daniella?" "How are you?" "The show was great."

"Very close quarters." "Very, very close quarters." "Yes." "Me too." "Bye." "Nu, what's happening?" "They've put her enlistment date forward." "In two weeks I' ll have a girlfriend in the army." "Your friends have daughters in the army." "In four days time you' ll see her." "In the meantime let's blow up Los Angeles." "Shalom." "Good." "I spoke so much about Israel." "I came down on Israel so much, I feel like coming down on you a bit." "So, here's a phone call from an Israeli who lives in New York to his friend in Israel." "Hello, Tzvika, hi, how are you?" "How are you?" "How are you?" "What?" "Who's speaking?" "Joe." "Joe." "Yossi." "Joe." "We hung wallpaper." "What?" "How things with me here?" "Listen, listen, I don't want to make you jealous, as they say in English." "I don't want to take your eyes out." "If you saw me here you would be happy." "Do you remember Steve?" "Steve?" "Herzl." "Where would he be in Israel?" "Maybe a taxi driver." "Here he's a cab driver." "When am I coming back to Israel?" "Listen, you know..." "Let's speak frankly." "Let's speak frankly." "I would come back to Israel, but the mentality there isn't for me." "I've changed. I've changed." "What's missing in Israel?" "I' ll give you an example of what's missing." "Let's say you' re walking down the street in Israel and fall." "Hey?" "What happens?" "Instantly people come." "" What happened to you?" "Can we help?" No privacy." "Here you can die in the street." "There's privacy." "Tzvika, listen, they signaling me that my Cadillac is blocking the entrance." "I must go now." "OK." "Bye." "See you." "Yes, Mr. Cohen. I've just finished cleaning the office." "So I' ll clean the car now." "Enough." "Modi, what can I say, it was wonderful." "I' m very sorry, but I made a mistake." "I' m sorry that I spoke to you earlier." "No, that's alright." "What's that?" "Have you got a headache or something?" "No, my eyes hurt." "But this helps..." "Did you buy it here?" "lt's " Stila." l brought it from Israel." "Good." "Listen, there' re lots of girls waiting for your autograph." "I' ll go out to them in a minute." "Tell them I' ll be right out." "Good." "Yes." "Yes." "For you, Mr. Gazit." "Thank you." "What's that?" "Can I open?" "Open, it's probably for you, who still wants me?" "" l liked your performance." "Would you like to see mine?" "" My limo is waiting outside." "B."" "Who is B?" "l hope that " Who is B" will bring her." "Hi." "Mr." "Gazit, please." "Thank you." "Modi." "Do I know you?" "One thing that I want to remind you." "aids?" "What?" "Daniella." "Drive." "" Modi Gazit"" "That's it?" "Yes sir." "Hi." "Hi." "Are you B?" "Barbara?" "No" "Beatrice?" "Bracha." "Bracha." "What's so funny?" "Bracha doesn't fit in to this house." "Do you intend to stand there much longer in those rags?" "Come into the water." "Ah, no problem, what." "Are you embarrassed?" "No, of course not." "Take a hundred dollars." "What's that, payment up front?" "Feel at home." "Welcome to Los Angeles." "I saw you on the stage and I really think you can make it a big, big thing here." "You don't know my story." "I just started succeeding in Israel." "I can't leave now." "Leave?" "Who is talking about leaving?" "I love lsrael. I mean to give yourself a chance." "A week, two." "We' ll introduce you to some people." "Arrange some connections." "l hardly get by with the English." "What connections?" "That's the thing, baby." "They' re looking for foreigners." "They' re looking for accents." "Listen, tomorrow I' m thinking of introducing you to Jim Jones." "Who is Jim Jones?" "Jim Jones is a friend of mine." "Apart from that he's only casting director of Johnny Carson." "Let's arrange something for you with Johnny Carson." "See yourself as a success." "Look, with all these connections, how long have you been here?" "Twenty years." "You came at four?" "No, I came very young. I met Peter, a big producer." "We married and I stayed." "Where's Peter?" "I don't see..." "Peter?" "I would also like to know where Peter is." "Probably in the Caribbean some place with a young girl of sixteen." "That's his style." "Freaking around." "Whatever, we' re not talking about Peter now, we' re talking about you, Modi ." "So what do you say?" "Give yourself a little chance?" "I don't know. I..." "Holon will wait for you a week or two." "So will Beersheva." "Two weeks?" "Two weeks, maybe three." "You' re insane, Modi." "You' re getting into dreams." "Do you know how many before you thought they'd make it in America?" "Let's think a minute." "Everything started working out in Israel." "Money, shows, television." "You can't let yourself get into these fantasies." "Don't leave now, they' ll forget you quickly." "Israel has a short memory." "She promised you Johnny Carson." "Lovely!" "Very Good!" "Nu, so what?" "Assuming she succeeds, it doesn't mean anything more!" "It's not your language." "It' ll take you five years just to get into their mentality." "Even then, do you know what competition there is here?" "Do you know how many starving actors there are here?" "Two weeks, We' re talking about two weeks." "What are you going on about?" "Two weeks, three, four, a year, two and then like everyone else you' re in a dream you can't escape from and..." "Shut up!" "Shut up and for once let me tell you what I have to say without interruption." "Listen, Hezi, we've been together for seventeen years, right?" "Seventeen years and all you arranged for me are two bit bar mitzvahs or appearances in one horse towns." "Seventeen years!" "And then in three minutes of television I showed them what I can do." "Three minutes of balls, Hezi." "If not for those three minutes I wouldn't have appeared here in Los Angeles now, but at some Retirement Home playing bingo in some God forsaken place..." "Because what one needs in this profession, Hezi, is a little imagination and lots of balls." "And even though I like you very much I have to tell you that you just don't have it." "You think small, Hezi." "You think small." "So go back home to your two bit shows and leave me here with my imagination and my fantasies." "OK?" "And don't try to force your limited thinking patterns on me." "What about Daniella?" "What about Daniella?" "I' ll show you what about Daniella." "I' ll show you what about a girl who is cool." "I' ll show you what a man who knows how to behave like an adult." "Hello?" "Dandush?" "Did I wake you?" "No, it's alright." "How was the performance?" "Great, how are you?" "Good, I miss you." "You' re coming back in two days time, aren't you?" "Yes, I mean no." "That's why I called." "Listen Dandush, something big happened here, something unexpected." "I met someone who promised to help me get into the Johnny Carson Show." "Can you hear me?" "Yes, yes." "So I can't come back in two days time." "It' ll take a little longer." "You understand, don't you?" "Of course, what a question." "No, I thought you'd be here when I enlist." "No, by then I' m sure to be back." "What are you talking about!" "It's an opportunity that doesn't come every day." "Good luck" "Thank you." "See you." "Modi?" "Dandush." "Why did he call me Dandush?" "Modi?" "What?" "Can you hear a sort of stream?" "What stream?" "The stream of piss going up to your head." "Corvette." "Nice your Corvette." "Selling?" "Get in, get in, boy." "Having a good time, baby?" "Alright." "What's the matter, honey?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "Nothing special." "Don't misunderstand me." "I don't have any complaints about you, on the contrary." "All this action, the clothes, shopping, it's all great, but..." "Do you know what I left in Israel?" "I need action. I need work." "I need..." "lt takes time, honey." "What takes time?" "Four months ago you said," "" Within two weeks I' ll arrange meetings with producers, Johnny Carson" ." "What came of all that?" "Take it easy, honey." "Nobody's sitting and waiting for the big star from Israel to arrive." "OK." " As it happens, I arranged a meeting with Sam and Joanna on Saturday and I hope something will come of it this time." "Who are Sam and Joanna?" "Sam Gabai, big shot." "He does all the catering for Hollywood movies." "Be nice to him." "He will introduce you to people." "So take it easy." "so the sergeant major comes to him and says" "" Berkowitz, I fooled you." "It's only your mother."" "Good, good." "Tell me Modi, how long have you been here?" "Five months." "Five months?" "Look, I bring him here, Sam, I bring him for five shows, he stays for five months." "I' ll be blamed for encouraging emigration." "What emigration?" "I' m just checking out the possibilities." "What possibilities?" "Sam!" "Look." "Checking out possibilities." "Another one checking out possibilities, ah?" "We' re all checking out possibilities here." "Sam, how long have you been here?" "Tell me?" "Since 1 969." "The year 1 969." "' 69." "Nineteen years checking out the possibilities." "I've been checking out the possibilities for eleven years." "Same place?" "Right." "l've been there." "He's a friend." "He's done my hair for years." "Yes I know." "You told me about him." "Tell me, how is the entertainment business in Israel?" "is it so bad?" "Why?" "It's fine, what!" "Anything new there?" "Tell him, tell him a joke." "He' ll tell you a joke." "Tell him." "There's a new one about David Levy, do you know it?" "Great, come on, tell him, nu?" "Why politics, why?" "Why politics?" "That's the problem in Israel." "You can say everything." "Laugh at everyone." "Too much democracy, believe me." "Sam, don't get upset, here they also tell jokes about politics." "What?" " Here too?" "Here it's different." "Here there aren't any wars or the problems that we have there." "Who is " we there" exactly?" "We, in Israel." "Ah, we in Israel." "Cool it, Sam. lt's a party." "Let's relax." "What cool it?" "It pisses me off." "It's important he hears it from me." "Me?" "What do you want from me?" "Because you entertainers, you play a part in the whole mess." "Us?" "What are we guilty of?" "All your songs about peace and all your jokes about the leaders." "You' re ruining the morale of our People." "We' re destroying the morale?" "Really!" "Destroying." "Believe me." "My man." "I know the Arabs very well." "Against them, only strength." "Tell me, you've been here for 1 7 years and you talk about a strong arm against Arabs." "What right do you have to talk?" "What right?" "Tell me, my man?" "Where were you in the army?" "Entertainment troupe." "Entertainment troupe, ah, Golani infantry, my man, three years!" "So do you do your reserves duties in Beverly Hills?" "Be careful that your Ferrari doesn't go over a mine by mistake." "is everything OK?" "Not OK and not nothing." "What happened?" "You spoiled it all." "What did I spoil?" "What did I spoil?" "What did you spoil?" "I' ll tell you what you spoiled." "I bring you to that man." "He's a very powerful man in this city." "Oh yeah?" "Tomorrow you could have started working." "He promised he would help you." "Good" "So what do you do?" "Sit there and spoil everything with your big mouth!" "Good." "OK." "OK. I heard." "OK, what OK?" "He's just an idiot." "That's what he is." "Idiot?" "He's an idiot?" "Then what?" "You sit there and play the dumb child who came from a primitive country and talk about Zionism." "Do you know how much money that man puts into the State of Israel every year?" "Really?" "He's a big Zionist..." "Sure, yes." "Good, bye." "What bye?" "Where are you going?" "I' ll just..." "Modi..." "Oh shit." "You want the ball?" "Yes." "You want to see some magic?" "Yes." "How many fingers do I have here?" "One." "Look at the finger as it goes..." "Now who can do that?" "Me." "Me."

"Can I ask you something, but without hurting you?" "What?" "Have you ever tried doing something?" "Like work?" "If you' ll excuse the expression." "I don't allow you to talk to me like that, is that clear?" "OK." "Sorry I asked." "I didn't take you into my home so that you could manage my life." "OK?" "Sorry." "Sorry I asked." "Can I have the Corvette's keys?" "Where are you going?" "Downtown." "Promise." "When will you be back?" "By lunch time." "Thanks." "A bit big on you?" "Excuse me?"
