talk to him -- clear this up.

Absolutely.

When -- if I see yosef,

I will tell him.

Absolutely.

Did you really give your

blessing to the lazar family?

I came to ask the questions

tonight, young shmuel.

Be careful.

The imagination

is very dangerous.

Man:

You have two bags.

Okay.

All right,

I'll be right back.

Then on the 1st,

pay for...

Hi. No, don't worry.

I got it.

Put your money away.

I got it. What are you getting?

There -- right there.

There you go.

Don't worry, my friend.

I'm one of you.

It's okay.

I think

that's debatable.

Take the bag to the truck.

I'll be right there.

Keep your head down.

Stay away from my boy,

shmuel.

Why would the lazars

agree to you?

You don't

have any money.

You don't even have a father

to work for.

It's not about the money --

never.

They want a shepherd

to protect her from the wolves.

Mazel tov.

I'm sure your father's

very proud.

Yosef:
Leon.

Hey, leon.

Hey.

Cast your burden on hashem,

and he will sustain you.

Hey, come here!

Hey, leon!

Where you going?!

Baby brother, I got you

a present! Come here!

Yosef.

Sam, get in the car.

Let's go.

Yosef:
Straighten out.

Sam:
Yeah.

All right, look straight.

If two people drive,

There are too many

cooks in the kitchen.

Just go straight.

Pull up right over next to that

building right there, okay?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

stop, stop, stop!

Brake, brake,

brake, brake!

Oh, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa! Wrong!

Put it in park.

Sorry.

Geez.

[ laughs ]

My god, I saw my life

flash before my eyes.

Sorry.

I got to start wearing

this seat-belt thing.

You really should.

All right, here we go.

Don't touch anything,

all right?

All right.

Can I turn the radio on?

No.

There he is --

the bald wonder.

Man:
Yo, yo!

[ mid-tempo

hip-hop music plays ]

Yosef, yosef.

How are you?

Good. How are you?

I think

I'm getting a cavity.

Armstrong:
You're tuned in

to stretch armstrong.

I'm feeling good.

New york city,

what is going on?

[ knock on window ]

some ladies say

they kind of like

Move over.

they like the way I rap

Take 50 g's out

and give jackie the rest.

$50,000? For what?

Laundering.

That's my fee.

Your fee? What --

what are you charging them?

What do you mean,

how much I'm charging them?

These men are -- I charge them

what I charge them.

Okay. Wait. So,

does jackie know about them?

What did I tell you

about jackie?

What?

Don't get too smart.

Don't get too smart.

Jackie

doesn't need to know.

He doesn't -- he doesn't

appreciate a smarty

Like I appreciate

a smarty.

Thank you.

You want to get some pizza?

Yeah. I'm starving.

Let's do it.

Hey, can I drive

on the way back?

No! [ laughs ]

we go outside

in the nighttime

we go inside

for the nightlife

I want --

I want to give a toast.

Uh...

[ snorts ]

Yosef.

Yosef,

I want to make a toast.

To good business and good

friends, in that order.

Cheers. Lehayim.

Lehayim.

Lehayim.

Lehayim, sam.

Lehayim, sam.

[ chuckles ]

Mmm, mmm!

Okay.

Sam, have you ever

had sushi?

Uh, no.

This is some

smoked-salmon sushi.

It's like, um --

it's like lox.

Okay.

We'll baruch over this.

Just try it.

Okay. I can feed myself,

thank you.

Okay.

Mmm.

Who wants more?

Mmm.

It's good, right?

Yeah, I'll have another one,

honey, please.

I think I like it better

with the bagel.

Man:
Jackie!

It's good to see you.

I haven't seen you

in a long time.

That's it.

Nice to see you.

Yosef.

What? Oh, hey.

How you been?

How you doing?

Take care

of that cavity?

Lehayim. Lehayim.

Enjoy, everybody.

[ mid-tempo dance music plays ]

things are changing

around us

you'll be on my mind

if you forget me

ah, ah, mm-hmm

if you forget me

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Sam!

if you forget me

mm, mm-hmm

Come on.

if you forget me

mm, mm

Please? It's okay.

if you forget me

[ instrumental solo ]

if you forget me

forget me, forget me,

forget me, forget me

forget me, forget me,

forget me

if you forget me

come back here anytime

seasons changing around us

you'll be on my mind

if you forget, forget, forget,

forget, forget, forget, forget

This is

the best medicine ever.

Shabbat

is a state of mind, pal.

Rachel:
Sometimes my eyes

go out of focus

And then back in focus.

There it goes again.

Can we stop for a second

so I can trip for a minute?

Yeah, please?

Jackie, pull over real quick,

will you?

Come on,

pull over real quick?

Pull over real quick.

I got to show sammy something.

Sammy,

grab your sneakers.

What are we doing?

What do you mean?

Why do I

need my shoes?

[ mid-tempo music plays ]

[ woman vocalizing ]

[ rabbe speaking indistinctly ]

What happens next can only

be described as tragic.

And the sons of aaron,

nadav and avihu,

Each took his fire pan,

placed within it fire,

And placed incense upon it.

And they offered

a strange fire before hashem,

One that he did not

command of them,

And the fire came forth

before hashem and devoured them,

And they died before hashem.

Elka!

There you go.

Elka!

Elka:
Okay, I'm coming!

I'm coming!

You still like me,

right?

Have I kept

you all waiting?

Come here.

Don't worry about it.

Ruth,

you look so lovely.

Boychik.

Come, yankel. Let's go.

Are we ready?

Yes.

Shall we?

[ sighs ]

[ glass breaks ]

Mazel tov! Mazel tov!

Mazel tov! Mazel tov!

[ applause ]

[ rhythmic clapping ]

[ singing in hebrew ]

I talked

to the rabbe today.

I talked to the rabbe, too.

We had a good conversation.

Shmuel?

Yeah?

Sit down.

Uh, actually, tateh,

I have to go somewhere. Sorry.

I said, "sit down!"

You lied to him,

didn't you?

Who?

The rabbe.

No. I didn't lie. No.

No one is lying, tateh.

You didn't lie?

No.

[ sighs ]

ay, ay, ay, ay.

[ inhales deeply ]

[ muttering ]

Tateh,

I didn't do anything.

[ inhales deeply ]

When my rabbi comes to my house

looking for a gun,

I have a criminal

in my house.

Tateh, what did he tell you?

What did the rabbe tell you?

We have to hide you

from the community.

You don't have to hide me from

anybody. I didn't do anything.

We have to hide you

from your little brother.

Stop. I didn't do anything.

Why, shmuel?

I didn't do anything wrong,

tateh.

Why? Huh?

Tateh, I have to go.

You are a liar.

You are a criminal.

You're not my son.

Don't say that.

[ voice breaking ]

don't say that. Tateh --

I can't look at you.

No. No.

Tateh, please look at me.

Look at me!

Shmuel, please go away!

Go away!

Go away from my house,

you understand me?!

Go away!

[ breathing heavily ]

Hi. Come on in.

Sam:
Now, when you land,

Make sure no one

checks your belongings.

That's simple. That's easy.

Somebody asks you a question,

You simply give them

a simple answer.

Most importantly, though,

relax, okay?

Have a good time.

Mind your business

and act jewish.

You look beautiful.

You look beautiful,

too.

Yose...

You not so much.

...You missed

your brother's wedding.

My brother's
