Enemies: A Love Story Page #4

Feivl Lemberger?

- Why? Why did I say Feivl?

Because I know you.

I know how suspicious you are.

If I just mentioned

a woman, what... Let me

ask you a question.

Do you really think that

Reb Abraham Nissen Yaroslaver...

would put a notice in the paper

for a sweetheart of mine?

They're pious people.

Masha, I've had it up to here.

You don't believe me,

you call them yourself.

You find out for yourself.

- Well, maybe this time

you're innocent.

- Ah, maybe. Ja, ja, ja.

- No. Not so easy to make up.

- You'll never believe what I've

been through these last days.

You little idiot, you.

I love you, you know.

[Chattering]

Where are the Nazis?

What kind of world

is this without Nazis?

A backward country,

this America.

Yadzia, I'm in Pittsburgh.

No, Pitt...

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

That's right, that's right.

No, I'm working as fast as I can.

No, I promise not

to stay away too long.

You miss her.

You can hardly wait

to go back with her again.

She's all alone.

She's helpless.

What about me?

- This is my vacation.

- Of course, of course.

We're here one night

and you go running to the phone

to call your peasant.

You lied to her,

and you will lie to me.

I don't ever want

to see you again. Ever!

- [Applause]

- [Man, Indistinct]

[Thinking:

Man Speaking German]

- [Thinking:
Dogs Barking]

- No. No.

- [Man Speaking,

Dogs Barking, Continues]

- No. No!

[Herman] No!

No! No! No!

[Voices Louder,

Woman Screaming]

- [Voices Fading]

- [Sobbing]

- This is not the way.

- [Chuckling]

What is the way?

Where was I five years ago

this time?

Still among the dead.

- ## [Rumba]

- [Man] Okay. What we're

doing here is the rumba.

We're doing the box step.

Everybody follow me.

And left and back.

It's left, front and side.

And back and one

and two and back and three.

- [Yells]

- Everybody dance.

Everybody do the rumba.

That's it.

Left and right.

Down slow. Now back up.

Up. Down one more time.

Down. Good.

[Chattering]

Did you see A Double Life?

Oh, what an actor

that Ronald Colman is.

Such a voice.

Such a fine nose.

Give me John Garfield.

Now there's an actor.

Not to mention he's Jewish.

- I heard that Ronald Colman's

also Jewish.

- Ohh.

I had a relative named Broder.

A third cousin, from Lemberg.

Or was it Tarnow?

- [Man On P.A.]

Lunch is served in five minutes.

- I think it was Drohobycz.

- Lunch. Excuse me.

- Oh, Lunch. Lunch.

[Man On P.A.]

Please, no bathing suits

in the dining room.

- I repeat, please...

- Herman. What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

What are you doing here?

I'm coming here, uh, always.

I always come here.

- Ah.

- To write. I'm writing here.

- Ah. Must be

a good place for that.

- Oh. Yeah, yeah.

- This is our second visit here.

- Excellent kosher food.

- Why don't you

join us for lunch?

- Oh, no, I...

- It's the boiled beef today.

- No. That wouldn't

be possible. I'm sorry.

Is your wife here?

Oh, that? That. Uh...

Oh, of course not.

What would she be doing here?

I'm coming here...

I come here to work.

Work, work, work.

You know, deadlines.

It, uh... I don't have to tell you.

You know about, uh...

Ill... Dinner. Maybe

we'll have dinner together.

If you'll be here,

we'll have dinner.

- Uh, I'm-I'm sure

it was Drohobycz.

- It could be.

He will never come for dinner.

[Man's Voice]

Philip Bronstein, your mother

wants you in the bungalow now!

Anybody who lost

a set of keys on the beach...

they're in the office.

The keys are in the office.

Sadie Reuben is looking

for a canasta party.

Anybody interested, contact her

at bungalow number 17.

Whoever took

the paddles for Ping-Pong...

and didn't return them, please

do so to the office immediately.

Remember, folks, tonight

at 8:
30 in the casino...

- Excuse me.

- We'll have dancing to

the Mitch Felson Trio.

- Masha.

- Herman, what are you doing?

I'm so hungry.

- Let's go for a ride.

- They're having

the boiled beef today.

- Yeah, I heard.

I'm not hungry. Come on.

- I'm starving.

It should be

cooler on the lake.

Come on. Come on.

Get in. Get in. Come. Come.

Get in. Get in.

Get into the boat. Come on.

Row. Row.

Row, Masha, row.

Masha, row, row, row.

Row the boat. Row!

[Man On P.A.]

...you got a long-distance

call from your husband.

It's been seven weeks since I've

had my visitor. I'm never late.

- You'll go.

You'll see a doctor.

- They can't tell so soon.

I'll wait another week.

An abortion in America costs $500.

And it's dangerous too.

A woman in the cafeteria

got blood poisoning

and that was the end of her.

What an ugly way to die.

And what would my mother do

if anything happened to me?

- I'm sure you would let her starve.

- [Sighs] Masha, Masha.

Don't get melodramatic.

You don't even know

if you're pregnant yet.

- Herman?

- Hm?

I'm afraid of an operation.

- Herman?

- Don't worry. It'll be all right.

Perhaps Leon will divorce me.

I'll speak frankly to him.

- If he won't divorce me,

the child will bear his name.

- I can't divorce Yadwiga.

You can't? When the King

of England wanted to marry

the woman he loved...

he gave up his throne, and you

can't get rid of a stupid peasant?

- You know a divorce

would kill Yadwiga.

- I know nothing of the sort.

- You married her

in a civil ceremony.

- Oh, Masha.

- Marry me

in a Jewish ceremony.

- Oh, I can't.

- I don't need their gentile papers.

- Oh, Masha.

- I can't... I can't do that.

- Why?

Why? Why? It would be

bigamy, that's why.

- It would be worse.

It would be polygamy.

- No one will ever know.

- Yeah, so...

- As long as there's

no marriage certificate...

- no one can prove

that we're man and wife.

- That-that...

Let me finish.

If you won't agree,

you can leave this minute.

I'll find a doctor who

will perform the operation.

- But don't you ever

show your face to me again.

- Oy, Masha, Masha.

I'll give you

one minute to answer.

[Flushes]

- You're asking me...

- One minute.
