[ laughs ]

what? Let me see yours.

You look like

you're 10 years old here.

This looks

nothing like you.

Yes, it does.

You look like you're 10.

[ pounding ]

[ man shouting, woman moaning ]

Should we

page your brother?

He said he'd call.

[ pounding continues ]

[ bells chiming ]

[ woman moaning ]

[ banging on door ]

Yosef:
Come on, boys!

It's your uncle yosef!

Come on.

We're gonna miss your flight.

[ moaning continues ]

Oy vey.

This is

a waste of time.

Hello, hello.

Hello.

You all right?

Yeah.

Good.

Listen, we'll see more

of amsterdam next trip, okay?

Let's go over

what I talked about.

I know.

You told us already.

You'll be waiting

in terminal 9 parking lot

With your friend, the goy.

Good, good.

And you travel alone.

You do not know me, and you

do not know each other.

What?

What do you mean?

Why don't we

know each other?

You just don't know each other.

It's that simple.

The most important thing

to remember, though --

Do not open your bag

for anybody.

Because of the medicine?

Right, leo,

because of the medicine.

Yeah. What's wrong

with the medicine, yosef?

There's nothing wrong

with the medicine, okay?

What's medicine here might not

mean "medicine" there.

What's medicine there might not

mean "medicine" here.

Farshteyn?

No, not farshteyn.

What's wrong with the medicine?

Yose, yose,

could we get in trouble?

Yosef:

Guys, guys, calm down.

Don't worry so much.

Just think of it as a game.

[ mid-tempo music playing ]

No one

is getting in trouble,

And no one

is gonna suspect a thing.

I promise.

And the medicine is untraceable.

It's like aspirin.

The customs agent

isn't looking for you,

And they're not looking

for the medicine.

Now, they may ask you

some simple questions,

And you reply

with simple answers.

Brussels to montreal

to get here?

Family business.

The most important thing

is this --

Relax, mind your business,

and act jewish.

Load the bag, please.

You load the f***ing bags.

They did all the work.

Have a little respect

for my little brother.

Your brother?

You get your brother to smuggle

drugs? That's great.

Drugs?

Drugs?

What -- what dru--

what are you talking about?

Yose, what drugs?!

I knew it.

I knew it.

Drugs?

You said, "medicine."

In the car,

in the car.

All right, come on.

Shut the f*** up.

Get in the f***ing van.

Get in the f***ing van.

Get off -- ow!

No, no,

don't touch my jacket.

I never heard jews complain

so much about making money.

Jesus christ.

F***ing idiot.

F***.

[ sniffs ]

You know,

jews have been smuggling

For thousands of years.

Talk to the rebbe.

It will be fine.

What did you say?

Whoa!

Listen to me.

Yosef.

I get in trouble,

you get in trouble.

If I don't get in trouble,

nobody gets in trouble, okay?

Yosef!

All right, leon?

All right?

Get off me, sam!

All right? Who's gonna --

who you gonna tell?

Huh? Who you gonna tell?

Leon:

Nobody! Nobody!

Come on. Nobody.

That's right.

Get the f*** out

already.

Sammy, let's go.

Leon:
Sam, come on.

Okay.

Sammy, hold on.

Hold on.

[ sighs ]

I told you not to tell

my little brother.

You did a good job,

though.

You did

a really good job.

[ sniffs ]

If you want to come out with us,

page me later, all right?

[ engine turns over ]

Page me later!

[ door closes ]

What are you looking at,

you f***ing polack?

[ dance music blares ]

Sorry I got you

into this.

You didn't get me into anything.

We didn't know.

Just...Give

the money back, okay?

Yeah, I will,

I will, I will.

Okay. I won't tell anyone.

I promise.

I-I'm ashamed.

Well, we didn't know, leon.

It just happened.

We didn't know.

We didn't know. Yeah.

We should have!

We didn't know, leon.

[ speaking hebrew ]

[ horns honking ]

Mrs. Zimmerman:
Look at leon.

He's such a good --

Oh, f*** leon.

[ sighs ]

Try to help

the ones you love, right?

You tell the old man

about the cash?

They don't exactly know yet,

but thank you.

That's a good thing.

Yeah.

Hey, yosef.

Leon's not talking

to me.

He's not?

Yeah,

I'm heartbroken.

You know, I think I'm getting

out of here for a while.

I'm gonna go over to jackie's.

You should come.

I told him how good of a job

you did.

He wants to meet you.

He wants to meet me?

Yeah. So,

consider yourself invited.

Hey, yosef? Tell me the truth

about the pills.

I won't tell anybody.

I promise.

They're harmless.

Yeah?

I promise.

Okay.

You know

where to find me.

Yosef:
Oh, I'm sorry.

I think I ordered a brunette.

Oh, that's funny.

I didn't think

I ordered a hasid.

Do you want to go back

to where you came from?

F*** you.

Hi.

Jackie.

All right.

Rachel, this is sammy.

Sammy, this is rachel.

Rachel. Nice to meet you.

Oh, no, thank you.

No offense.

It's out of respect

for you.

I have no respect for you.

Here. Take my jacket.

Oh, f*** you. Welcome.

Please make yourself at home.

Yosef, I think

I've actually met her before.

Yeah, maybe

in your wet dreams.

You remember andrew.

That's tabitha.

She's the hottest model

in France.

Say hi, tabitha.

[ speaking french ]

That was a long "hi."

Uh, what else do we got?

I have no idea who

the f*** these people are,

But they're

a lot of cool jews,

So it's a good thing

for us.

Rachel:

Jackie, you got company!

A lot of cool jews here,

sammy -- a lot of cool jews.

One goy -- forget about him.

God does.

Jackie:
Yosef!

Come here.

By yourself.

All right.

Yosef.

I just want you to relax.

I'm relaxed. I'm fine.

Thank you.

Why don't you taste this?

He's had it forever.

Thank you.

I'm not tasting it.

It's really good.

It's better aged.

You want to take

your jacket off?

'cause they're gonna be

a while, so...

You don't have to

be so nervous.

I'm not gonna rat you out

to your rabbi or anything.

Are you jewish?

Well, I dropped out

of hebrew school,

So I don't know

if that counts.

Yosef:

Does it count?
