A Strange Course of Events
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Yes?
I have a prescription
for this medication
and my wife's insurance card.
- Where's your wife?
- She is with the doctor.
As soon as she comes out,
come back with your wife,
and I'll give you -
I've been waiting for two hours.
I don't have the authority
to give you medicine without -
without a doctor's approval.
Had you given me the medicine on time,
I might not have had to bring my wife here.
- Give me the medicine.
- I understand, sir, really.
Give me the medicine!
Come on.
Please sit down, sir.
- Please sit down.
- I get it. I'm sure the doctor will help.
Excuse me, sir,
you can't see the doctor now!
Please sit down.
Please. Give me that
and sit down, sir.
I'm very sorry,
you have to wait like everyone else.
Honestly.

Fine, we'll wait for her to come out,
and we'll do whatever the doctor says.
Hi, Dad.

Yes.
No, I can't.
I can either come now or-
Where?
Okay.
Center, fine.
I don't know.
I can walk. I'll be fine.

you can add 5 shekels and sit here,
or you can move to the other car.

Hello.
I'd like an espresso and...
the pastrami sandwich.
Your sandwich. Anything else?
Thank you.

- Yes, thank you.
How about putting him on a leash?
Come here, Ofra.
Shoo!
Come here.
Sit, good dog. Good dog.
The tree doesn't move,
it's stable
and strong.
Rain falls,
the water seeps into the ground.
Take a deep breath,
and while you exhale
roll back slowly onto your back.
Loosen your hands and feet...
and feel the tree's roots
spreading inside the earth.
Feel the tree's inner warmth
burning inside it.
Feel the tree branches spreading out,
life emerging through the branches,
the leaves, the flowers.
Feel the heat spreading
inside your body
and breathe.
See you next week.
Thank you.

- Great, it was great.
See that guy over there?
He's my son.

I'm going to take a shower.
Bati is waiting for us.
No, I don't -
I won't accept this,
this atmosphere.
I won't accept this atmosphere.
What atmosphere?
We're at a restaurant,
and no one is talking.
I won't accept it.
I won't accept it.
Maybe it's -
What if we changed the candles?
What about Michal?

Not too much.
Not with me anyway.
