Hunting Elephants Page #4

He was humiliated in class, and you

think a soft drink will cover for this?

Come on.

What do you think you're doing?

If you don't mind, I'm coming to make

sure that the boy's not mistreated.

Keep an eye on him.

If he does anything, neutralize him.

Mei!

Soon Mei, coffee!

Come on, Soon Mei,

my father will fire you!

Eli, listen good.

Hello. I think it is

important to explain

that I had no idea

this was going to happen.

If you mess with Jonathan,

Calculator, again,

my grandson...

In fact, I am being held here

against my will.

I'll come back here

and pop a cap down your throat

and kill you.

I'll repeat myself

because I understand

you're ADD.

What's ADD?

A problem concentrating.

Oh, you mean retarded.

We called that "retarded."

Why make up new words?

Is this the time for that, Nick?

From now on

you take care of Jonathan,

otherwise I'll come and get you.

Thank you for your hospitality,

and what a clean place you have here,

you're doing an excellent job.

Finally someone puts a halter

on that rotten kid...

Grandpa...

That was great,

that was amazing.

Am I the only person here

who thinks that Elijah-wu-wu

should seek psychiatric help?

Calm down.

It's not a working gun.

If any other kids bother you,

tell me where they live.

Hey!

- Hey, hey, stop, stop!

Make my day!

Sh*t!

- What are you doing, stupid?!

Give me the gun!

What's going on, Eliyahu?

I fixed it,

people only listen

if you have a working gun.

Look, I know this is

an ordinary day for you Israelis,

but for me personally,

I think we should run.

I can't hear a thing!

I'm deaf in this ear!

Moron.

Sorry I'm late, Mom,

we had... it was great.

Sit down, I'll make dinner.

It's okay, baby, I made dinner.

I know it's not real food, but...

No, no, cake is perfect.

People don't know it

but it has all the major food groups.

Baby, I'm going out

for half an hour max.

Where are you going?

- To meet Dedi, Dad's bank manager.

We need another loan urgently.

At night?

- Baby, don't make me feel bad,

I've been working all day.

I'll be back in half an hour.

He's just a nice man

who's helping us.

Want me to cancel? I'll cancel,

and we'll be evicted.

No, no, I just...

I'll be back as soon as I can.

I'll make you cocoa

like I used to make for Dad before bed.

Make me some too,

but with no milk.

Because of the cholesterol.

And no sugar.

I'm diabetic.

Basically, you want hot water.

Lukewarm.

I'm not allowed hot drinks.

Are you crying?

Why are you crying?

- He's crying again?

What's with kids these days?

I didn't cry three times

my whole life,

including when I was born.

Here.

They killed him...

the people from the bank,

they killed my dad.

Your son.

He worked hours and hours

with his heart problem

and they forced him,

they made him come at night

and work on the cage.

Scumbags...

They killed him.

And they blame me.

They won't pay damages,

insurance, nothing.

Banks don't give you anything,

they even attach the pens

to the desk.

So maybe...

maybe you and Nick

should rob my dad's bank.

Look at this kid...

he's crazy.

He's...

He's just like you.

Grandpa,

I know the whole security system.

I thought you were honest.

- We're all crooks, aren't we?

That's what you said.

Nick, help me with this nut.

The kid's right.

I took a bullet for you.

I can hardly see

and I need the money.

What can they do to me in jail?

Put me in a dark room?

You owe it to the kid.

They killed his father.

Your son.

And I know you loved Daniel.

You can't be that mad at someone

unless you love him.

Are you gonna let them get away

with killing your son?

Huh, Eliyahu?

What? - You know, you always

drink the cheap stuff,

so I brought along

some good whiskey.

I thought that we could

share a drink,

for the good old days.

What good old days?

We didn't have one good day.

We are busy.

- Listen to me.

Eliyu Jew-boo-boob,

I wondered if you had considered

the management's request,

you know, about the form,

the "Do Not Resuscitate" for Rhoda,

you know, the DNR.

- How do you know about that?

Well, I was the one who asked them

if you had signed such a form.

You piece of sh*t!

You want her dead, huh?

You want the house, don't you?

I'm appalled. I'm amazed.

I'm shocked.

Oh, so you don't want our house.

Listen, it's my house!

My father loaned it to you

until Rhoda died.

It was never his intention

that you should inherit the place...

No! Not the face!

I'm an actor!

Need some help?

You little...

I'll finish you up...

Listen, listen to me.

I've consulted a solicitor

and he has advised me

that with the DNR form

and a doctor's opinion

that a judge would

make me a trustee of the house

which was loaned to you,

and because you loved my sister I'm

willing to give you some of the money.

And the boy here.

Yes?

So just that you will know,

I sold the house.

When I needed to take Rhoda

to a hospital

I took her to the best place,

so I used the money.

But Rhoda was in a coma.

How could she sign...

I forged her signature,

and yours too.

I got the money, I paid for her stay,

for my apartment

and for Nick's apartment in the place.

And the rest I donated to the Museum

for Israel's Struggle for Independence.

You paid for me?

You donated my money

to a terrorist museum?

Yes, I did.

Do you realize

how cool your grandpa is?

You had no right!

Shut up!

Right, my ass.

I'll do anything to protect my family.

You have so much money

and you want to kill your sister?!

Shithead!

- No, stop!

Butt out, kid.

It started before

the State was founded,

nothing to do with you.

Where's the gun, Eliyahu?

- You piece of...

Where's the gun?

Grandpa, please,

he's my uncle.

So now you're on his side?

I knew I couldn't trust you.

Go with him, traitor.

The only form I will sign

is your execution.

I still have my membership card

in a terrorist organization,

you piece of sh*t...

We don't have much time left.

Not me, not you,

and certainly not Rhoda.

We have a gun and a car,

we go into the bank, take the money,

and escape to the forest,

where we shot

the Major's head off.

Like the good old days,

the good life.

It won't work, Grandpa.

Why not?

- Because of the security.

Three guards

on the ground floor,

eight cameras,

they'll drop the cage

before we reach the door.

Besides, they have

a silent alarm.

They press a button

and the cops arrive in 3 minutes.

And you can't just open the safe,

you need a magnetic card

that opens it.

Did Dad tell you that?

- He designed it,

he was an expert.

What a fool,

he was such a genius that

his own system killed him.

That doesn't matter, Grandpa,

we need more people.

What about Shimon Caravani

from our days in the underground?

He has good hands.

He's dead.

Shimon Caravani is dead?

How did I miss that?

We were at his funeral together,

you eulogized him.

How did he die?

- Just shut up, Nick.

What's going on here?

Hedva told everyone

he's an English lord,
