Why do you point at him?

You're right. God!

I'm sorry, Rafi.

You're going to be sick

of this crazy family.

- Of course not.

- Yes, you will.

What are you doing with that?

Let's talk about happy things.

- Where exactly are you from?

- Jerusalem.

Beautiful. Wonderful.

It's a shame I didn't go back there.

And your family?

My father is from Jerusalem

and my mother from Nablus.

I'm sure there aren't many

Jewish people there.

He's Palestinian.

- Who?

- Me.

Try on this dress.

It's yours.

- I don't want it anymore.

- It looks good on you.

- It's too small.

- Mom.

You're not reacting.

What do you want me to do?

Throw myself out the window?

- You're absolutely insane.

- Why?

Because the Palestinians

kill the Jewish,

and the Jewish

kill the Palestinians.

- We don't kill each other.

- Now.

But don't you see the hatred?

This won't work.

- It's already working.

- Because you just met.

Because we think the same way.

The Jewish and the Palestinians

don't think the same way.

- Some do, Mom.

- What if you have a child?

- He will bring peace.

- He'll be a mental case.

He would blow himself up

or blow you up.

I forgot to defrost the soup.

David!

I'll do it.

- Yes.

- I'll go with you.

No. Stay and try the dress on.

- It's in the freezer.

- See you.

- We love each other.

- So did Romeo and Juliet.

- During the Middle Ages.

- We are in the Middle Ages.

- What are you laughing at?

- At him.

- Who are you?

- Leni's boyfriend.

- At least you're not her type.

- Give me a drink, please.

- Don't ever say 'please'.

- Why?

Because they'll think you're stupid.

I need the bracelet.

- It's too small for you.

- No, it's not.

Doctor, how much time do I have left?

Ten? Ten what?

Weeks? Months?

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

- You didn't get it.

- Yes, I did.

- You're not laughing.

- He's smiling.

Did you find a girlfriend?

I can't fornicate until I'm married.

No matter what the rabbi says,

there's no sex in the afterlife.

- I have to go.

- Where?

I forgot to put coins

in the parking meter.

People used to say,

'I have to buy cigarettes'.

You're obsessed.

I thought it made you happy

to see me happy.

How can you be happy

living in Gaza?

- In Barcelona.

- Raising Muslims?

Why not?

What will you do when

he brings his second wife?

Rafi believes in monogamy.

It's settled,

you'll become Muslim.

- Who said that?

- You'll get married in a Moslem Temple.

Or in a synagogue or in both.

- Be realistic, Leni.

- I'm sick of being realistic.

- You look pretty.

- Liar. I saw you on TV.

- And?

- You're the best in the show.

I keep telling them it's not working.

Isn't it awful?

- She tried it with me.

- I didn't.

I'm going to show you

what I bought.

You should've kept it

instead of spending the money

- you don't have.

- It's for old ladies.

You would take it off anyway.

Why was she yelling?

Because I want to marry

a Palestinian.

- I thought he was Israeli.

- His passport is.

That's my sister.

- Don't encourage her.

- Why? I'm not a racist.

What are you saying?

Your mother isn't a racist.

I forgot that Jewish people

are never racist.

Let's drop this Palestinian

and Jewish thing.

All I ask is that

you judge him for what he is.

Rafi.

Rafi?

He went out to put coins

in the parking meter.

We came in a cab.

- Where is he?

- He ran away.

- Why?

- What do you think?

Why on earth did I come tonight?

I wanted him to meet my family

because family is everything.

But all we do

is hurt each other.

- Don't say that!

- What do you want me to say?

Thanks to you

I just lost the love of my life.

- Rafi?

- Leni. Something's happened.

I dropped the soup out the window

and it hurt someone.

- I think he's dead.

- Oh, my God.

We have to call an ambulance.

Hello, Rafi.

It's Gloria, Leni's mother.

I'm sorry for my awful behavior.

She says you love each other.

It's a night of joy.

I beg you, come up.

I apologize for everything I said.

Come up.

Don't move.

I'll be right there.

Okay.

I'm sorry, honey.

I'd cut off my hands

before losing you.

I know.

What would you cut off

before losing me? Your nails?

I would cut off everything.

- I'm sorry.

- I thought you had left me.

- Where is he?

- Right here. Did you call?

Not yet. Not in front of everybody.

I'll call now.

From a pay phone.

So that they don't

identify the number.

- We can't hide this.

- Why? Somebody saw you?

It's not about that.

Do you want to go to jail?

- Leni, say something.

- Yes, Mom.

Are you going to

have dinner with us?

We'll be right up.

No one's going to jail.

It was an accident.

People have lawyers.

What if it appears on TV?

- This will destroy our lives.

- What about his life?

- He's dead.

- Perhaps not.

Then the ambulance

will save him.

What does he care

if we call anonymously?

- It's not right.

- It's not wrong either.

Didn't we have enough

for one evening?

I can't lie.

My ears get all red.

We just have to shut up.

Hurry. Go get the soup

and I'll make the call.

What did you do with the soup?

If you threw it away,

you can start praying for real.

Zip it up.

You can't ring a bell

during Sabbath.

Give it to me. Damn.

There's blood.

I have a tissue.

Hello.

He was leaving with the soup.

I thought we were going

to get along now.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Thank you for coming back.

It doesn't zip up.

Rafi, my sister Tania.

We've already met.

What do you think?

- Very chic.

- Will you zip it up?

- I will.

- No, you can't.

- Where did you buy it?

- It's a gift.

- From whom?

- 'El Corte Ingls'.

- You're crazy.

- They really admire me.

Do it again.

- Do it again.

- Do what again?

- Do it again.

- That girl is exhausted.

Do it again, do it again,

do it again, do it again.

- She won't give it up.

- What does she want?

- I did a little trick.

- Do the trick and go to sleep.

The trick.

- I don't get it.

- No, out the window.

- I know a trick.

- No more tricks. Go to bed.

- Don't you want to go to bed?

- That's it. Ask her opinion.

- I need an echography.

- I'll show you something.

Why didn't you tell me

Paula was there?

I forgot.

- What kind of trick was it?

- I'm not good at this.

- It's true.

- I'm sweating again.

Put your jacket on.

This is going to get out of hand.

Nothing happened.

She makes things up all the time.

The ambulance

should have gotten here by now.

- How long ago?

- Are you sure you called?

- Of course.

- Promise.

- What?

- That you called the ambulance.

- Who do you think I am?

- I don't even know who I am.

An a**hole who throws

frozen food out the window.

I would have thrown myself as well.

Let's not fight.

It's the worst thing we can do.

- Let's make love again.

- I won't be able to.

- We must relax.

- I just killed a man.

It was an accident.

If you hadn't done it,

somebody else would have.

- That makes no sense.

- That's true.

All I know is that we make sense.

Do you smell something?
