Maya Page #4

---

I feel like I'm losing you,

Maya.

You have to stop going

to the hospital.

You sent me there.

I know. I made a mistake.

It's only making you worse.

It's not making me worse.

It's making me

truthful.

You always say

how important truth is.

Truth isn't chasing after

what's truthful.

Acting is acting.

A play is a sum of things

not necessarily true,

which create a certain truth.

But there are things

that aren't right.

What isn't right?

What isn't right?

When the parents are supposed

to come,

you make me hysterically crazy

and...

What?

- It's fake.

Let me decide

if it's fake or not.

You aren't even trying

things through.

How can you tell if

it's fake or not?

I can't do things that

don't feel right.

It doesn't come from the head,

I feel it in my stomach.

We're done for today.

You wanted to run the scene.

- We'll do it tomorrow.

We're through for today.

See you tomorrow at ten.

Don't be angry at me.

I'm helpless.

These discussions are

exhausting me.

I want to enjoy what I do,

not suffer from it.

I don't know what to say.

It's not about what to say,

it's about...

That I'm going

to ruin the play.

If it goes on like this,

that's what'll happen.

Maybe you should replace me.

Replace me.

I don't want to do this role.

Find another actress.

I wouldn't replace you

for anyone else in the world.

This is exactly

what I was afraid of. - Of what?

That our relationship would

ruin everything.

What has our relationship

ruined?

I'm not good enough,

and you don't dare

to replace me.

You're talking nonsense,

you know?

I don't want to be in the play

just because you love me.

Okay... I'm leaving.

I don't want to do this role.

Find someone who won't

ruin the play.

Enough!

I can't take this anymore!

What are you going to do?

Shouldn't you replace her?

If the show is important to you,

you have to keep all your options.

Mom...

Everything's fine.

Everything's fine!

Mom!

I think I'm pregnant.

Is that why he left?

No.

I'm keeping the child.

I decided.

Did you lock the door?

- Yeah.

You know who the father is?

It could only be Shlomo.

How can you be sure?

The last time I slept with Aaron

was before my period.

What does Shlomo say about it?

He actually likes the idea.

Then take a test.

- Tomorrow.

I'm making tea, you want some?

- No.

Should I turn out the light?

- No.

Did something happen?

- I'm leaving the play.

What?! What happened?

I'm not good, I'm ruining

Hagai's play.

But you're always saying

how great everything is.

What happened all of a sudden?

We don't see things the same way.

He doesn't care about

the truth.

He cares about

the dramatic effect.

Well, he's right, it's theater.

- I know it's theater.

Can't you talk about it...

Reach an understanding?

No.

How is he taking it that

you're leaving?

I didn't tell him yet.

I suggest you don't tell him.

It seems you're just

in a bad mood.

I don't know. I can't handle it.

I don't get him.

Maybe he's panicking.

But what about you two?

- What?

You're lovers...

Aren't you lovers?

Of course.

That's the problem.

Did you close the terrace door?

- I closed everything.

What?

Now?

What happened?

Aaron's wife left him.

Now he wants to marry me.

So why are you crying?

Because I have a new lover,

and I'm pregnant.

I killed Aaron's child

and blew $2000 on a shrink!

Now he wants to marry me?!

I don't want to.

So tell him to go to hell.

But I love him.

I was up all night.

- Me too.

We could've been up together.

I wanted you to have

time to think.

What did you think?

About what?

About me. The role.

I don't have any doubts.

You'll be wonderful.

You're the best actress I know.

Really?

Really.

Just forget everything

and trust me.

Okay?

- Okay.

I missed you so much.

- So did I.

Hello everybody!

Okay everybody!

I want to begin.

Can I check the length

of her nightgown.

Excellent. That's excellent.

I want to begin.

Ruby, Maya, Orit,

concentrate!

Where are the pills?

Nili, give me the pills.

Maybe I don't give him the pills.

- Why?

Maybe when they ask her

for something,

her hands freeze.

She can't let go.

Where's this coming from?

Okay, so no.

Ruby, one more time.

"Give me the pills".

Please, give me the pills.

You see, she gives up the battle,

and gives him

the pills.

Soon you'll go home,

to your family...

With the baby.

- There is no baby.

You remember who you are now,

right?

I remember the butterflies

who lost the light,

the red ladybugs who lost

the black spots...

Maya, it has to be

with passion.

She gave up the battle,

but she still has a vision

that takes her outside

the hospital...

Passion!

I remember the smell of the trees,

the color of the sky...

I remember red clouds

and my baby who was born

and said,

Mommy...

Ruby, Ruby, why?!

You've got to stand like a statue

until the curtain closes.

She was simply wonderful.

- Open the curtain!

We can't end the play like that.

There's no energy...

It's not the right text

for the ending.

What's the right text?

What Nili

should say here?

That they don't believe her,

that they don't want

to help her.

That... she can't do

what they want.

When you'll write a play

end it your way.

But now,

it needs to be convincing.

The premiere is in a week

and I don't see the role.

It worries me.

Don't worry.

It'll be fine on opening night.

Again from the same place.

She's going to give me

a heart attack.

You should've taken

someone experienced.

It's not too late.

We can replace her.

I'm even willing to

delay the show.

You have a wonderful play.

It's a shame.

She'll be great.

You'll see.

Let's hope.

Good luck.

Is everything okay?

Show her love.

Good luck.

Bring the lights up slowly.

Go with what you feel.

Forget everything I told you.

You'll be wonderful.

Remember that I love you.

Good luck.

Be ready with the lights.

Hello.

- Hello, doctor.

Nili hasn't eaten for 3 days.

Almost 4 days.

- Dina!

Why hasn't Nili eaten

for 3 days?

Why are you looking

at me like that?

Tell Doctor Giladi why

you aren't eating.

Nili, do you want to tell me?

We want to help you.

You all think that I'm crazy.

No one thinks you're crazy.

We want to help you

from what you've suffered.

I don't need to be here for that.

I can be at home.

You have to be watched.

You'll be taking pills.

I don't want pills.

I won't let you drug me!

You want to kill me?

Is that what you want?

Nili... honey...

- Dina!

Why are crying?

You're locking me up

and you're crying?

If you leave me here,

you'll never see me again.

You' II never see me again!

You're not my parents!

Let me go!

Let me go or I'll kill you!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Nili...

Nili, look who came.

Who's he?

Nili...

I'll leave you alone.

She'll speak to you in a minute,

right, Nili?

What's your name?

Roni.

He's cute.

- Why don't you talk to him?

I don't know him.

Nili, it's me.

Are you hiding him?

He is with you.
