about you.

I think I'd prefer

to work with my father.

I see.

Judaism

is about community.

It's about looking outward

to others,

Not just looking inward

at yourself.

Farshteyn. Farshteyn.

I don't want to be a burden

to my family or the community.

Very well. Very well.

I have given my blessing

for the first bashert.

You have?

I pray the meeting

goes in your favor.

You'll be a husband and a father

before you know it.

Thank you, rebbe.

A shaynem dank.

Only then

will you find true joy

And all this

will become clear.

Will you study

at the koel?

Yes, well,

I-I work in manhattan now.

I'm not sure about

becoming a rabbi yet.

You like

playing basketball more?

You've seen me?

No, no.

No.

No. My tateh

will talk to the rabbi.

They will decide for me.

What job do you do?

I take care of my younger

brothers and sisters.

Oh. That's nice.

How many children?

[ clock chiming ]

Five?

No, I want eight.

Eight?

Baruch hashem.

Baruch hashem.

Which yeshiva

would they attend?

Eight? Wow.

Sammy. Come over here

for a second.

It's freezing out,

huh?

Yeah.

I'm sorry I gave you sh*t about

your marriage the other day.

That's okay.

I'm not even married yet.

Yeah.

So, where are you

gonna live, huh?

You gonna live

with your parents?

Mazel,

is that a rolex?

Shh, shh!

Leon's a f***ing mensch.

You know that.

[ chuckles ]

Working for

the medical business now.

For a doctor?

Yeah, sort of.

You know, uh...

What?

You know,

I-I think they, uh --

I think they need another guy,

if you're interested.

If you're looking for some

extra work, it's a good job.

Really?

Yeah.

Easiest money

you'll ever make.

All-expenses trip

to europe --

I mean, you fly anywhere,

really.

Girls, fast cars,

see the world.

I have a job,

thank you.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

Let me ask you

a question.

Who do you think pays the bills

in my house?

'cause leon doesn't pay

the f***ing bills,

I'll tell you that.

I mean, you got groceries,

electric bill, mortgage.

My f***ing mother

doesn't pay the mortgage.

You do?

I do.

What happens

when you and young vanna

Want to have a few kinder

of your own?

I work with my father,

yosef.

Yeah.

Women like shiny things.

You know what time it is?

It's fake titty time.

[ chuckles ]

Think about it,

all right?

Page me later.

Come on. I'll race you.

Come on.

Leon:
So,

tell me what happened.

Sam:
Well,

she was more nervous than me.

Did her parents

say anything yet, or...?

No, not yet.

No?

Oh, oh, what were you and yose

talking about before?

Nothing, nothing.

His new business.

Yose doesn't have

a business.

Well,

he offered me a job.

Are you meshugga?

You work for yosef?

Yeah, he offered me $1,000

to import medicine from europe.

Maybe I should do it

for zeldy.

That doesn't make sense.

There's no medicine work

that type of gelt.

No, no, it's special.

It's -- it's for rich people.

But, listen, I won't go

unless you go with me.

Why didn't he ask me?

I've never been to europe.

That's where

our grandparents came from.

Oh, I got it, mama.

I got it.

No, no.

No, no.

Hey. Stop, stop, stop.

Don't hurt yourself.

All right, here.

Go tell your tateh that yankel

should be in bed already.

One second.

There we go.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Mama, something's wrong.

Tell me.

Nothing.

It's the stove.

Mama.

Go get your father.

What's the matter?

Just --

he made me a promise.

The lazars have started

to look for another marriage.

I'm sorry, my boychik.

And the old lady said...

[ high-pitched voice ] "thank

you for not stealing the apples!

Thank you for asking!"

And she gave him

a whole basket.

Now, the tired traveler --

and he wasn't just a traveler.

Remember, he was a rabbi.

He was famous.

He was a miracle maker.

Have you heard any news?

Shh. He said to the --

to the lady -- he said --

Tateh...Why won't

they let her marry me?

Is it

because of our family?

[ sighs ]

Just -- just keep on studying,

okay?

Just keep on studying.

Don't worry.

Focus on your studies.

We'll find you a good bride.

Okay.

All right?

Come. Pray with your brother

and me.

Uh, no.

[ clears throat ]

No. I have a cold.

I don't want him to catch it.

[ indistinct conversation ]

F***! What the f***

is he doing here?!

No, he comes with me.

What the f***

is he doing here?!

Get out of here.

Get out of here.

Don't tell me

what to do.

Yosef, if he doesn't go,

I don't go.

I told you

not to tell anybody.

Go home, leon.

Trust me -- go home.

Do you want me

to tell mommy?

Go home!

Stop it!

He comes with me,

yosef.

What the f*** are you looking

at, you f***ing shvartzes?

Turn around, fool.

All right.

All right.

All right, all right.

All right.

Okay. Relax.

Let's go.

Okay?

F***!

He's a nice guy,

right?

Are you kidding me?

He's the best.

We can trust him?

Of course.

He's jewish.

All right. Wait here.

[ dance music playing ]

Don't touch anything.

[ indistinct conversation ]

He looks nervous.

Maybe he doesn't like

doctors.

Jackie?

Is jackie in his office?

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

I love your hats.

Thank you.

They're so amazing.

I -- oh.

No, no, no, no, no.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

You're not supposed to touch it.

[ clears throat ]

Slut.

Jackie? Hi.

[ indistinct conversation ]

Ugh. Not good.

It's disgusting. Ugh.

Right.

[ door opens,

music continues ]

This is the guy

I was telling you about.

My brother

and sammy gold.

[ laughs ]

Okay.

[ laughs ]

[ music continues ]

He loved you.

He loved you.

[ laughing ]

he loved you!

Elka!

Elka:
One second!

Who was it

who called for you?

The rebbe personally

from atlantic city

Suggested that we go.

Elka:
This is for you.

It might be hard

to find glatt kosher.

Shaynem dank.

Thank you.

Thank you, mama.

Well,

what more can I say?

I mean, the fact that

the atlantic city rebbe

Asked for you in person --

that's -- that's a big honor.

I'm so proud of you boys.

Big honor.

Your father

would be very proud.

You have everything?

Well, go, go.

[ man speaking over p.A. ]

May I have your attention,

please?

Hi. Uh, that's my seat.

Excuse me.

And as soon as we reach

our cruising altitude,

A cold meal and a variety

of drinks will be served.

We'll fall asleep

right away.

You enjoy the flight?

It was okay.

Listen to me very closely,

okay, boys?

I have

two things for you.

One is an envelope with cash

and your itinerary in it.

The other

is a piece of paper.

When you get off the jetway,

I want you to follow signs

that say "taxi," okay?

Get in line, get into the taxi,

give them the piece of paper.

You're gonna go to the hotel,

you're gonna check in,

And you're gonna wait for me

to call, all right?

Okay.

Good.

Where are you going?

I'll be back.

I'll call you later.

Yose.

[ sighs ]

It's no safe haven.
