We'll say...

"I need to piss?

Hilarious.

We'll say:

"May I be excused?

Now you...

May I be excused?

Okay, may I be excused now?

I'll be right back.

Together.

Yes.

- Like this?

-Yes.

This goes this way,

and your hip goes the other way.

You see'? -No.

-The same side. -The same side.

Come here.

Apology accepted.

Did anyone mention an apology?

Thank you.

Who's into hummus?

Looks like you are.

Okay.

Okay, we're together.

I don't know what else to say.

Why didn't you tell us?

Since when are you so discreet?

I'd expect a poster

in the stairway.

I didn't even know he was...

Congratulations to the new couple.

Not so new, almost a year.

A year?!

I couldn't afford to talk about it,

I mean...

He couldn't afford to talk about it.

-If it were up to me...

-isn't it?

It is, but...

It doesn't...

-really go with his family and...

-As real as it gets.

Stop it, Efrat.

It just seems absurd

that their slogan is

"the real thing

when their son is in the closet.

Absurd, shmabsurd,

now is not the time.

Kiddies, what's going on?

Fighting already?

What's this, girls, a buffet?

That's a no-no in

the rehearsal room.

Right. A real no-no.

About your friend,

our patience has limits.

Actually, we tried, and...

we hoped, but Dana

decided not to do it.

We'll manage...

Even God created the whole

so He'd have something to cut oft.

It's everywhere, ha'?

Yeah.

And tonight,

when the whole world sees it...

I'm embarrassed that it bothers rne.

Don't you have anything to say'?

Actually, I do.

What's this?

Sweet, isn't it?

Yes. What is it?

It's by someone from Ireland

who won the UniverSong

in 70-something,

then she became a member

of the European Parliament.

She also ran for President.

Unbelievable.

Yes.

How do you know all this?

My "Women in Politics" professor

mentioned it yesterday.

Oh, you're in college?

And I don't just play

backgammon after work?

Unbelievable.

Now, girls,

forget everything I said

and just enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

Keren, you're doing it all wrong...

After you,

This is our new studio.

Oops, watch the cables.

As you can see,

we use the latest technology,

-we've just switched to HD.

-Yes.

Girls, I assume you know Asi.

Hello.

And his dear parents

need no introduction.

The Hummus Family.

Nice to meet you.

How's it going, man'?

Platoon B, Battalion 69'?

Ofer "Bambi Hegev?

Oh, Bambi!

- H0w's it going?

-What's up?

- I'm gonna kill you...

-Oh, you know each other?

- From the army...

-We slept together...

in ambushes.

He's hilarious.

Girls, we're needed

in the dressing room

for a few final touches.

When you see your wigs you'll die.

They're amazing. Come.

What a clown.

Until recently

you wouldn't have thought

that our next guests

could represent anything,

let alone a country,

But after a month of

grueling boot camp

with the biggest guns

in show biz,

please welcome Anat-Ofah

in a premiere performance

of our song for the UniverSong:

"Anat, You've Got The Guts.

Keren, you're not going on with those.

Even if it hurts now

And will hurl later on

Look at the sky and you'll see,

I swear,

You'll always find a star

It's raining men, Honey,

Reach out and pick them

You're not alone, my baby

Together all the way

Together all the way

Anat, you've got the guts

It'll all work out

No if, no how, no buts

It'll all work out

Anat, you've got the guts

It'll all work out in the end

So far, so good, so what

It'll all work out

This is the chance of your life

You were going to risk your career

for this crap?

- That wasn't our plan.

-What?

It's nothing like what we...

What's this supposed to be'?

It isn't them at all.

- Hi.

-Hi.

Judging by the number of morons

who called, you did great.

Didn't you watch?

I was dead tired after work.

And Shira?

I told her to wake me up

when Mommy came on.

And...?

With that red thing on your head

I guess she didn't recognize you.

Did you do the invoices?

Dad said he'd do it.

Excuse me?

He's coming back on Sunday.

One of you has to

land back on Earth.

Are we going to just sit here?

I thought we needed to talk...

So, let's move to the talk part.

And let's make it quick,

I'm exhausted.

What's that look for, Keren?

Nothing.

Didn't you know

how they manipulate people'?

What?

Look who's talking.

The blogger

who just met a journalist

tor the first time'?

Yael, Yael...

What?

Did anyone ask Efrat

how she didn't notice that

they turned her song into a jingle?

They clogged my ears.

We didn't all make millions

modeling underwear

before our Bat Mitzvah...

I don't think arguing

is going to help.

Okay, you're right.

They made fools out of us.

You with your pretty face,

me with my rocker image,

and Anat as the desperate housewife.

Sorry, Anat.

They got a bunch of b*tches

to dance like idiots

so everyone could say:

"How funny, how camp."

And we fell for it.

Four frustrated women and a homo.

Sorry, Ofer.

There's no use wasting time.

Lets stop this nonsesne

and move on.

And just say we're not doing it?

Can we do that?

We can do whatever we want.

It's bad for me,

it's bad for you...

Ofer, sorry, I think we...

Okay, Keren, I go overboard,

but I'm not stupid.

I'm not into it either.

I saw you from the window and...

You came to give your condolences?

I came to join you.

You have an issue with timing,

don't you'?

Let's cut the sarcasm.

Listen,

I've been watching you

and eating my heart out,

and after I saw you

on TV...

It made me furious.

We can't just let it slide.

We can either drown in sorrow

or go in tomorrow and demand

to sing the song our way.

We had something sweet and simple

that was just ours.

No one planned it,

no one engineered it,

it just came out.

It came out because

we wanted to cheer you up,

and it came out good.

What are you trying to say'?

That we can find a way.

Us, the song, the guitar...

Without all that glitter.

But the glitter is everything,

Ofer, it's UniverSong.

Well, I remember when it was

a song contest,

not a costume contest.

The conductor went onstage,

signaled the orchestra,

and the singer just started singing.

Sorry I'm late, Cupcakes.

I was talking to the Minister.

The response is fantastic.

Oh-ho, and who do I see here?

I guess success is enough to subdue

even the toughest opponents.

Welcome back.

To winning and hosting

next year in Jerusalem!

Uh, look... We met last night...

And we feel like we got a little lost.

That's totally natural.

Actually, totally natural"

is exactly the problem.

What do you mean?

It's totally not. It's not us.

Fear is totally natural, too.

You reached a certain level,

now there are expectations

and fears,

How will people react?

What will they say'?

You're so sweet...

You're a little overwhelmed.

You're instincts are to

retreat to a safe place.

Our instincts

followed you blindly,

so it's more like an eye-opener.

We had something

that was very us,

and there's nothing left of it.
