And look at my daughter's eyes.
So hopeful.
Tradition!
Well, children
when shall we make the wedding?
Thank you, Papa!
Ooh! Reb Tevye,
You won't be sorry. You won't be sorry.
I won't be sorry?
I'm sorry already!
Thank you, Papa.
Thank you, Papa.
All right. Go, go.
Papa.
They gave each other a pledge.
Ahh
Golde!
What shall I tell Golde?
Motel, you were wonderful!
It was a miracle!
Wonder of wonders. Miracle of miracles.
God took a Daniel once again.
Stood by his side and
miracle of miracles.
Walked him through the lion's den.
Wonder of wonders. Miracle of miracles
I was afraid that God would frown.
But like he did so long ago in Jericho.
God just made a wall fall down.
When Moses softened Pharaoh's heart.
That was a miracle.
When God made the waters
of the Red Sea part.
That was a miracle too.
But of all God's miracles
large and small.
The most miraculous one of all.
Is that out of a
worthless lump of clay.
God has made a man today.
Wonder of wonders.
Miracle of miracles.
God took a tailor by the hand.
Turned him around and
miracle of miracles.
Led him to the Promised Land.
When David slew Goliath, yes.
That was a miracle.
When God gave us manna
in the wilderness.
That was a miracle too.
But of all God's miracles
large and small.
The most miraculous one of all.
Is the one I thought could never be.
God has given you.
To me.
Good day.
Hello, Sarah.
- Mazel tov, Chava, mazel tov!
- Thank you.
- Soon it will be you.
- I hope so.
- Give my best wishes to Tzeitel.
- I will.
- Bye.
Mazel tov, Chava!
Mazel tov, Chava!
Mazel tov
No, don't Please please.
I just want to pass.
All right, stop it.
What's wrong with you, Fyedka?
- Just stop it.
- We're just having a little fun.
Good-bye, Sasha.
I said good-bye.
I'm sorry about that. They mean no harm.
Don't they?
Is there something you want?
Yes. I'd like to talk to you.
I'd rather not.
I've often noticed you at the bookseller's.
Not many girls in this
village like to read.
Would you like to
to borrow this book?
It's very good.
No,
Thank you.
Why?
Because I'm not Jewish?
Do you feel about me
the way they feel about you?
I didn't think you would.
And what do you know about me, eh?
Let me tell you about myself.
I'm a pleasant fellow. Charming
honest, ambitious, quite bright
and very modest.
Go ahead. Take the book
I'll ask you how you like it
and we can talk about it for a while.
Then we can talk about life
how we feel about things.
Here.
Thank you.
Good day, Chava.
Good day.
Fyedka!
Fyedka.
YeAAhh!
- Help! Help!
- Tevye, what's the matter?
- Motel, Tzeitel, help!
- Wake up! What is the matter with you?
Will you wake up! Shh!
- Where is she?
- Where-where? Who?
- Where is who? What are you talking about?
- Where is she?
Fruma Sarah. Fruma Sarah,
Lazar Wolf's first wife.
She was standing here a minute ago.
- Where is she?
- What are you talking about?
Fruma Sarah's has been
dead for years. Sha!
- Yes, yes.
- You must have been dreaming.
- Sha.
- Yes.
Now
tell me what you dreamt
- and I'll tell you what it meant.
- Ooo
- It was terrible.
- Tell me.
All right
only don't be Frightened!
In the beginning
I dreamt that er
we were having
a celebration of some kind.
Everybody we knew
all of our beloved departed
were there.
All of them
even your Great Uncle
Mordechai was there
And er and your cousin Rachel was there.
And in the middle of the dream
in walks your grandmother
Tzeitel, may she rest in peace.
Grandmother Tzeitel! How did she look?
Well, for a woman who's dead 30 years
she looked very good.
Naturally, I went up to greet her.
A blessing on your head.
Mazel tov, mazel tov.
To see a daughter wed.
Mazel tov, mazel tov.
And such a son-in-law
Like no one ever saw
Motel?!?
A worthy boy is he.
Mazel tov, mazel tov.
Of pious family.
Mazel tov, mazel tov.
dear Uncle Mordechai.
Tailor? She must have heard wrong.
- She meant the butcher.
- I'll tell her.
You must have heard wrong, Grandma,
there's no tailor.
Huh?
You mean the butcher, Grandma,
by the name of Lazar Wolf.
No, no, no. I mean the tailor, Tevye,
my great-grandchild.
My little Tzeitel who you named for me
Motel's bride was meant to be.
For such a match I prayed.
Mazel tov, mazel tov.
In heaven it was made.
Mazel tov, mazel tov.
A fine upstanding boy
a comfort and a joy.
- Stop it!
- We announced it already!
We made a bargain with the butcher.
A blessing on your house.
Mazel tov, mazel tov.
Imagine such a spouse.
Mazel tov, mazel tov.
And such a son-in-law
like no one ever saw
the tailor Motel Kamzoil.
- Stop them!
- But he's a butcher!
His name is Lazar Wolf!
Sha! Sha!
- Look.
- Who is this.
- Who comes here.
- Who? Who? Who? Who? Who?
Uh!
What woman is this by
righteous anger shaken.
- Could it be.
- Sure.
- Yes, it could.
- Why not.
Who could be mistaken.
It's the butcher's wife
come from beyond the grave.
- Who is she?
- Ohh,
It's the butcher's dear
darling, departed wife.
Fruma Sarah.
Fruma Sarah! Fruma Sarah! Fruma Sarah!
Fruma Sarah!
Tevye!
Tevye!
What is this about your
daughter marrying my husband.
Yes, her husband!
Would you do this to your friend
and neighbor, Fruma Sarah.
Fruma Sarah!
Have you no consideration
for a woman's feelings.
Woman's feelings
Handing over my belongings
to a total stranger.
Total stranger
How can you allow it how, can you
let your daughter take my place.
Live in my house, carry my keys.
And wear my clothes, pearls.
How?
How can you allow your
daughter to take her place.
- Pearls.
- House.
- Pearls.
- Keys.
- Pearls.
- Clothes.
- Pearls
- How?
Tevye!
Such a learned man as Tevye
wouldn't let it happen.
Let it happen!
Tell me that it isn't true
and then I wouldn't worry.
Wouldn't worry
Say you didn't give your blessing
to your daughter's marriage.
Daughter's marriage
Let me tell you what would
follow such a fatal wedding.
Fatal wedding
Sha!
I pity them both.
She'll live with him three weeks.
And when three weeks are up
I'll come to her by night
I'll take her by the throat
and this I'll give your Tzeitel
That I'll give your Tzeitel! This
I'll give your Tzeitel! Ah-ha-ha ha!
Aah ha-ha ha!
Whoa-ha-ha!
Don't stop Golde!
Aaagh!
Jump!
Here's my wedding present
Evil spirit, away!
Such an evil spirit.
May it sink back into the earth.
(Tup'-Tup')
Such a dark and horrible dream.
And to think it was brought on
because you went to see that butcher.
Tevye
Tevye My grandmother Tzeitel,
may she rest in peace(Tup'-Tup')
took the trouble to come all the way
from the other world
to tell us about the tailor.
