Abandon the fridge!

Riki! Riki!

Riki!!

Are you all right?

- Yes, I'll be fine in a second.

Thanks.

- For what?

I think

you saved my life back there.

You think so? That's great.

I'm free to save lives

on Mondays and Thursdays.

What should we do?

I don't know, it's late.

Yes.

It's cold.

- Are you cold? Take this.

Thank you.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Nope.

Do you have a boyfriend?

I do have someone,

but he's in the U.S.

He was my boyfriend in Iran.

Come on, Erez.

Do you miss your boyfriend?

- Sometimes.

Do you want to hug me?

- What?

Nothing.

I want to, but I can't.

- Why not?

Because Opher saw you first

so I can't make any move.

You are a complete moron.

- What?

Did you divide me up between you?

What am I, a prize?

You don't have to be with him.

Although he is a great guy.

Really, and I'm not just saying it

because he's my twin.

It's 1981, not the 16th century.

And if I want you...

Do you want me?

- You're here now.

I can do whatever I want

with whomever I want.

That's a problem.

- Why?

How can you trust a girl

who says something like that?

I get you, Erez.

- What do you get?

You are a coward.

I believe in absolute loyalty

when it comes to family.

Everyone cheats

when it suits them.

My parents don't cheat.

I think it's inevitable.

I think that in every relationship

you end up hating each other.

But don't worry, it won't be that way

between Opher and me.

Really?

- Yes,

because I already hate him,

even before we've started.

We can walk from here to Tel Aviv.

- What will we do there?

My father works there.

We can take some money from him

and take a bus home.

Neta.

This is our car.

What's this

jungle in the back?

My father collects cacti.

Come on.

Is that your father?

Erez, wait a second.

He's a useless loser.

Maybe it's not what you think.

- Not what I think?

His hand was on her breast.

That's his secertary.

Calm down.

Let's go up.

We'll get money for the bus.

I don't want his money.

Do you know

what a good woman my mother is?

You're not going

to say anything to him?

Erez! Erez!

It's just like I said before,

you're a coward.

I'm sure that if Opher were here,

he would behave like a real man.

Why did you do that?

I meant talk to him,

not ruin his car.

Stop it, Erez.

My aunt works not far from here.

Let's go get

some money from her.

Opher, can you stop that?

- Sorry.

I don't understand

why Dad is so late.

We should try

calling him again.

Why?

He's been held up.

Do you think he's like you,

sleeping all night on the beach.

Maybe that's him.

Move your feet.

Hi, Gila.

What are you doing here?

I was at work.

I didn't want to call.

Avraham was in a car accident.

He was hurt and is in hospital.

Sima, do you understand?

How is he, Gila?

He's in surgery.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't want them

to notify you by phone.

We have to go to the hospital.

I know what I'll do.

I'll make sandwiches.

For the children.

Opher,

I'll help you with the little one.

Put his shoes on.

Come on.

Wow, what a mess.

- David, enough!

That is not helpful. Calm down.

Erez, get the bag

from my room.

Ido, stop, it's okay.

Ido, come here to me.

- Get his sweater.

Mom,

forget the sandwiches.

Put them in a bag.

Let's go.

Erez, come on!

No, no, no. No.

Hello, Simha?

It's David.

What's up?

Listen,

my father was in a car accident.

He's in hospital.

No, you don't have to come.

Don't come...

But you're not my wife!

Don't get all insulted.

This it is not a sign that we should

get married, Simha! So don't come!

Listen, sit.

The good news is that he will live,

the bad news is that he will sit.

What do you mean?

He broke two vertebrae.

His spine cord is broken.

His legs won't work.

He won't feel anything.

He won't be able to walk.

The artery in his back was blocked

and caused a hemorrhage.

Sometimes when a pipe is clogged

the problem is not the clot itself.

David, do you want

to help the doctors

free the clot with a toilet stick?

So let me continue.

The question is if the arm will also

be paralyzed. They don't know.

Opher, stop.

It is all nonsense.

Your father is a strong man

he may have some difficulty walking,

but your father will walk.

When he was little he had hepatitis

everyone said he would die,

but he overcame it.

Don't believe the doctors!

I brought sandwiches.

Who wants avocado?

Ido, cheese or avocado?

What's going on, Erez?

- What?

Are you okay?

- Sure.

Listen, I need you to help me.

David is in shock, Mom...

Noam and Ido are little.

We've always split the mess.

Say, did they say anything

about what caused the accident?

What difference does it make,

Erez?

The main thing is Dad.

How are you, Gila?

- Hi, Avraham.

How are you, Avner?

- Great, thanks. How are you?

The accident was three months ago.

You don't have to come every day.

Look at that!

I can't believe they're giving up

the Sinai. Unbelievable!

Begin is a traitor.

Look at the way the protestors

let the soldiers

drag them like sacks of potatoes.

Dad.

- Yes, David.

What would you think

of me marrying Simha? - Big mistake.

Are you proposing

your marriage to Simha to me?

Yes. It would make you happy,

wouldn't it?

Anything that showed me

you had stopped being stupid

would make me happy.

Good.

I'll propose tomorrow.

Are you serious, David?

- Yes.

Call her now!

- I can't call between 2:00 and 4:00.

So what? Call.

It's an emergency.

Next year, a firstborn son!

You got caught in the net.

The line is dead.

- No, it isn't.

Hello, may I speak with Simha?

Hello, Simha, It's me, David.

What's up?

Good.

How was kindergarten today?

Listen, when you come over,

don't forget to bring me my bag.

Okay, and Simha...

I think we should get married.

She said, "Yes".

We'll think and set a date.

No, the World Cup football

tournament is this summer.

He's right.

- What do you mean, he's right?

But the guests won't come.

It makes sense.

- Talk to her.

So we'll get married

next winter.

Me, too.

I can't say it

because everyone is here.

Simha, everyone is here...

That's just the way I am!

David!

What are we celebrating?

- David is getting married.

Two summers from now.

- Congratulations, David.

Come on, it's only Simha...

Will you stay with me tonight,

Erez?

Can you help me water the garden?

Okay.

- Great.

What's the problem?

- Nothing, there's a party tonight.

That's fine. You can go.

Can't you stay home

for five minutes?

I'm here all the time.

But I wasn't.

I fled the house whenever I could.

Dad was fired a few weeks later.

He was a legless 55-year-old man

with no dreams,

who did the one thing

he used to despise most.

Opher even began

to water his plants for him.

He wouldn't let us sell his car.

He said you cannot sell a car

made with parts

from the Apollo 11 spacecraft.

It stood there waiting for the day

his legs would start working again.

Hey, Opher, Erez!

- Hi, man!

Did you dress up as Hitler?
