There are two things
that can change my mood:
A good pop song.
And sex.
I don't have any sex,
so today I recommend
doing what my neighbors
and I do every year:
watch the UniverSong contest.
Between us,
what's wrong with
a little excitement,
a little nostalgia,
and bizarre acts
from all over the world'?
It doesn't take much preparation,
the contest does
most of the work,
all you have to do is
get the party-poopers
out of the house.
Remember to evacuate
the house by 4pm'?
And invite guests who'll enjoy
indulging in your silliness.
That's why I write my blog.
To remind all oi us
that with our dull routines...
Have a nice day, princess.
You too.
The days that are all alike...
Love you.
Me too.
You shouldn't let anybody
It's okay to close the button.
Turn off your happiness button.
- Bye, Dad.
-Bye.
So tonight,
we will celebrate the
long gone days of innocence,
the days you borrowed a cup
of sugar from your neighbor
and stayed for coffee.
The days of one TV channel,
one TV set,
and lots of people
gathered around it.
- Zohar?
-What?
What's with the turmeric'?
What?
You know she hates the smell.
It's mom's cooking.
I couldn't say no.
Tonight, we all want to be
part of the normal world
and not fight it for once.
And tonight, "competition"
isn't a dirty word-.
On the contrary.
It's the name of the game.
Everyone would give anything
to be the one who stays with us
for many years to come.
So prepare your charts
and air out your shoulder pads
and don't forget...
Did I forget something
at the office?
I hope so...
What?
To tell me when to pick you up.
Tonight...
Sorry, I promised to go to
a tenants' meeting.
Can I make it up to you'?
You ought to.
Because each one of us deserves
his own guilty pleasure.
Thank you, thank you,
and now
put the costumes
and chairs back in place.
Shlomi! Shlomi, sweetie,
take off the dress.
Daddy's picking you up soon.
Hi.
Oh-ho! What do we have here?
You'll find out tonight.
Just tidy up,
the rest is on me.
Shim!
Morn, can't you see
I'm busy?
Go upstairs, I'll be right there.
Hi. Are we meeting tonight?
Ha'?
UNIVERSONG PARTY
Oh, no. I have a gig.
On UniverSong night?
You know, it's not
the same audience.
- What about... Uh...
-Huti.
Ruti, right. Maybe
she can come?
No, Huti has basketball.
She'd never miss it.
Right, it's the semifinals.
I have men at home, too.
I mean... Um...
Right. Next year. For sure.
Hold on, one at a time,
One at a time-.
Yes, Danny.
Madam Minister, your comment
on the budget cutback?
See here, Danny,
I know these days are difficult,
but we have to stick together.
cross our fingers.
I want to take this opportunity
to address our representative
at the UniverSong,
wish him luck, and
hope he shows everybody
what amour is!
But still, Madam Minister,
a word about the cutback.
You don't expect the Minister
to address this issue
in one word, do you'?
Did I miss anything?
- Hi.
-Hey.
I guess not.
"The Minister's busy schedule
my ass.
She drove us crazy.
When she thought she might
miss the first song
Oh-la-la!
I can't believe it!
Wow...
You baked all the competing
countries!
I was in a good mood
this morning.
Honey, are you okay?
Yes. No. It's just...
the cheeses... I have to put them
in the oven.
Cheese, in the oven'?
The UniverSong Contest,
brought to you by the Hummus Family,
wishing all of you
a lovely evening.
Hummus, the cream of the hummus,
the real thing.
last night.
Aren't you into that
correspondent...
Him too.
What did you dream?
I think I dreamed
I saved him from drowning...
Keep swimming, honey.
He's with the daughter
of that hotel mogul.
Not any more,
they mentioned it
in today's update.
He's with the Minister of Industry's
granddaughter-.
I forgot the snacks.
Sit down!
You are my silence
You are my voiceless walls
You are my silence
You are my voiceless walls...
I need more guitar.
I'm going, babe.
- Good luck.
-Thanks.
- Bye.
-Bye.
Well?
Listen...
What?
There's no audience, I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
It's not your fault.
The game tonight and
the UniverSong...
Don't...
What can I say,
some people still get off on it.
Ladies and Gentlemen
welcome to Prague!
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Prague.
Welcome to UniverSong!
Are you ready?
- Yes!
-Yes!
We can't hear you.
Are you ready?
Heady, ready.
Get on with it.
Okay girls, concentrate.
No talking, no comments.
Silence.
Hello, Prague!
OMG! He cut his hair!
- I thought that...
-it's just the opening.
What's up with the Mohawk?
He looks happy,
that's all that matters.
They can see we're optimistic.
It's open...
I'm so glad you came.
We're making the salsa
go, ma man.
Shaking it to and fro
Honey, honey, takin' all my money
Shaking your money-gun
all night long, come on...
He didn't show up yet
You're still sad
What's going on?
Why doesn't it come'?
Now she's losing hope
What does it mean
and why do you ask
What is love anyway?
What is amour? Love!
Yes, it's the answer for sure
What is amour?
Amour is for sure
That's what love is
What is amour? Love!
Yes, it's the answer for sure
What is amour?
Amour is for sure
That's what love is...
Good stuff.
What was that?
Is he for real?
Shut up, anti-Semite.
Shh...
We go now to our last voting.
Good evening, Moscow.
Good evening, Prague- These are
the results of the Russian jury.
Israel, one point.
Israel, one point.
I can't take it. It hurts.
Okay, I'm eating Malta.
What's the matter?
You're worse than Ofer.
Anatie, it's okay.
He'll come home,
the papers will make fun of him---...
He won't come home.
He won't come home'?
Aren't you exaggerating.
He went to Thailand!
Who?
He packed his things and left.
I asked him to clear the house
so I could prepare,
and then I saw him
with a suitcase.
I thought he was surprising me
with a romantic vacation---...
I'm such a fool.
"Anat's the star baker and
I'm just the delivery boy?
He won't discuss it
because I never listen".
Of course I don't. Thailand'?!
Isn't this supposed to happen
when you're old and ugly?
Maybe I am old and ugly.
Am I old and ugly?
Of course not, Anatie.
Even if it seems like
the situation sucks...
You're about to collapse...
Even if it hurts now
and will hurl later on.
Remember that even the
darkest of nights
are followed by dawn.
Let the tears fall
and wash away the pain.
Those broken pieces
will be a whole again.
Will be a whole again.
Day by Day, Anat.
It'll all work out in the end.
You won't be all alone.
I'll always keep you
from falling.
You and me and us,
We will be there, supporting.
Your smile will be back soon.
It's already returning.
One door has closed.
What a shame.
Lime heals all wounds.
Hold your head up,
you have no choice.
Day by day, Anat.
It'll all work out in the end.
