Come, I have to organize some

things upstairs, come help me.

You have ideas, what do you even

know about movies? - Nothing.

One minute, one minute...

whats the problem?

- Why is this torn?

Listen, I need to ask

your advice about something.

Did something happen? - Not now,

go home, dont be offended,

I need to take care of Israel

and hes embarrassed by you.

So after he goes to sleep,

I'll call you and well talk.

What are you guys in a fight or

something? - Dont be an idiot.

One minute, one minute.

Oh no. - Whats the problem now?

Why do you always have

the opening line?

I dont know, leave it,

I'll go over it again.

Fine, call me.

Bye. - Bye.

Now Im stuck in this scooter

for the rest of my life.

Come on, start already

- Now I forgot what I need...

Cartoons!

Are you going to marry Micha?

- What are you talking about?

So why is he always proposing?

- Thats just a manner of speech.

A manner of speech?

And this absurd film he offered

you, is that a manner of speech?

Why butt in, what do you care?

- I care that you ingratiate.

And hes considered

your best friend.

Everyone tries to be

sharper than the next guy.

"Marry me, marry me"

what stupidity.

It's all one big play, a contest

to be most ingratiating.

It's not style, Tzvika,

It's disgusting.

It's Micha,

leave a message if you like.

Micha.

If youre there, pick up.

Im so sorry, I fell asleep,

I fell into bed like a rock.

Micha?

Tzvika, you dont know

whats happening to me.

Since I came back from you,

Im in the bathroom, one minute.

Tzvika?

- Whats happening?

Ive never had such a thing. Im

throwing up and have diarrhea.

Oh, lord, I cant, dont worry,

well talk tomorrow.

Hello.

- Tzvika?

Micha?

What do you mean, Micha?

It's me, whats up? It works,

this telephone setup is great.

Whats with you? Will you be

long? - About 2 hours, why?

No reason, are you angry?

- About what?

About what I said

about Micha yesterday?

Stop, Yisrael,

I cant talk with you now, bye.

Hello.

Tzvia.

You said youd return in two

hours. - Who was just here?

I wanted to make up with you.

I made a surprise for you.

Look.

Amazing, huh?

It was on the shopping

channel, I loved it immediately.

And I arranged it all by phone,

can you believe it?

One call, it's delivered and set

up. - How did you pay for this?

With your credit card.

I gave the number by phone and

thats all. - Thats all? - What?

You dont like it?

Tzvia.

I wanted to surprise you.

Stop, Yisrael, Im tired.

Youre sick of me.

- Im not sick of anything.

So why did you leave me alone?

I dont know,

Im debating about this dress.

I want to change something,

this is beginning to bore me.

You want some?

What is that?

A rice cake.

Since that horrible stomach bug,

I dont eat anything else.

How I suffered...

Should I make you coffee?

- No.

I left Yisrael with Etti,

I have to get home so she can

clean. The house is a mess.

Why do I sense Im

about to hear more bad news?

What, you dont

want to do the film?

Leave me alone about the film.

- So what is it?

Im dropping out of the play.

- Why? - Because.

Again this same old pattern?

Why, because, I cant anymore,

Ive exhausted myself?

Should I get down on my knees

or should we first drink coffee?

Stop, Ive had enough,

Im tired of this game.

All this wit,

All this flattery,

I dont want to be in the play,

thats all.

It's my choice, do you have

a problem with that?

I dont owe you an explanation.

I also dont have to listen to

your marry me remarks.

I have a life. I have a life,

I have a life...

Where is Etti?

- I sent her off.

To where?

- To hell.

She was doing a superficial job,

She wasnt cleaning at all.

So after we organized things,

I berated her for not cleaning.

What did you organize?

Your room, it's a surprise.

I have life!

I have life!

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

It was an accident.

What is his condition now?

He sleeps most of the time.

He occasionally opens his eyes,

I dont know... he stares.

He doesnt react.

The doctor said hes in shock.

I apologize

for speaking to you like that.

Thats okay,

Im already used to you.

Back then when he

jumped and again now,

I look at him

and see their faces, I see them.

Tami, Tami, my Tami.

How did I let her die like that?

- What could you have done?

What now?

Are you taking him home again?

Yes.

- Thats sick.

Why? - He murdered

your daughter and husband.

You say you look at him, and see

them, why do you need that?

"It begins as every story ends,

"One sweet tear,

and a gate which closes,

"Suddenly we saw with our eyes

one very painful thing,

"With all the bloodshed

we knew, he loves her.

"Maybe it's good for him,

Maybe it's bad for him,

"Why doesnt she love him?

"Maybe it's good for him,

Maybe it's bad for him,

"Why doesnt she love him?

"The winters passed,

Time itself passed.

"The wound still hurts me,

so he said.

"If it will be good for me,

it will be even better for you.

"And if it will be bad for me,

I'll stay here with you...

"Maybe it's good for him,

Maybe it's bad for him,

"Why doesnt she love him?

"Maybe it's good for him,

Maybe it's bad for him,

"Why doesnt she love him?"

We finish, we leave.

Lets go over the questions.

Mrs. Israeli, we were waiting

for you. - Where is Yisrael?

The nurses came in an hour ago

and this is what they saw.

What do you mean "This is what

they saw"? - He disappeared.

We looked everywhere, theres

no trace of him or his clothes.

Do you know anyone

who could have...

to remove him from here, to help

him get out? - He has nobody.

Did you notice

anything unusual recently?

Unusual behavior or movements?

- He only moved his fingers.

After he jumped from the roof,

why did you take him in?

Why did I take him in?

Yisrael?

"So maybe well start

with a play...

"Everyones here, the crowd wants

it, well all die in the end."

Shes already gone.

Wait a minute.

Were you waiting for me?

I slept here,

where you keep the props.

It's a little uncomfortable

to consider my situation, huh?

Whats new?

Why did you lie to me, Yisrael?

- Can I sit down?

I asked, answer me. - Just this

week, I could move, no big deal.

It's nice here

when it's quiet like this.

Too bad

theres no audience, huh?

Why did you take me in, Tzvia?

Because I felt sorry for you.

- Why?

I was sure you were paralyzed.

- Ah.

Just out of curiosity, you never

forgave me, did you?

I gave you my soul.

- But to forgive, you could not.

What do you want from me?

- Nothing, just to talk a little.

Maybe we can talk about

your late husband and daughter.

All the time I was with you,

every time I tried to ask,

you wont say a word about them.

Maybe we should let loose a bit,

what do you say?

They lay in the hospital two

weeks after the accident, right?

Right.

What went through your head

during those two weeks, Tzvia?

Did you think of me? - Of you?

- Or of them? Or of yourself?

I thought...
