He just jerks off.

All I do is make noises likel

You don't want to talk?

No. Everything's fine, I'm fine.

- Sure.

Hi.

What's going on?

When?

When we were supposed to meet up.

I forgot, I had something to do...

What's wrong?

Nothing!

- We'll talk about it later, OK?

Ido, look, this isn't working out.

No, leave me alone.

It's just not right.

- Wait a second.

- Where are you going?

- Stop it. I don't love you.

How are you, honey?

What did the doctor say?

My wife will take care of you. Iris.

Hang on,

I have nathalie on the phone.

I'll be right with you...

Perfect. The girls say hi.

Yes. I'll put you back

on the schedule next week.

Don't worry.

Get better, I'll pay your expenses.

OK, rest up. Bye.

Honey!

Sacha called. It's urgent.

OK.

- What's your name?

- Or.

- I'm Iris. How are you?

- Fine.

You'll need a pseudonym.

You have one?

Something Israeli...

Sivan?

I'll start from the beginning.

We run an escort service.

Clients call. We send them

the girls they ask for.

How are you, honey?

How'd it go?

- Like usual.

- Perfect.

We take 1500 shekels.

That's for the escort service only.

After that it's your business.

You understand?

How much?

Girls!

Be quiet two minutes, OK?

The girls get 20000 for 2 hours.

You negotiate with the client

over the phone

before you leave here. OK?

You must leave from here

and come back here.

OK? It's very important.

What did Sacha want?

I don't know, love. Call him.

The drivers who work with us

take you to the hotel

or the apartment...

You only tell the cab to go

if everything's OK.

If you don't like something,

you come back.

But you should try and avoid that.

One second.

Sexclusive, good day.

Shlomo? How are you, darling?

Svetlana isn't working today.

Shlomo... I've got something new...

that you won't believe.

- Hello.

- Hello. Come in.

- Sivan, are you OK in there?

- Yes.

What's with the towel?

Relax, like me.

That's better.

- How old are you?

- 18.

18!

I like 18.

I adore 18...

What a beautiful ass!

You know what?

I want to f*** you in the ass.

What do you say?

It makes you laugh, does it?

I like that.

So?

We didn't discuss it on the phone.

I didn't know

I'd be getting such a nice ass.

Don't worry. I've got Vaseline

and everything else we need.

OK? Alright?

OK.

Wow... What an ass.

Wonderful.

Just what I need.

You look hot tonight.

- How's it going?

- Great!

- Want some cigarettes?

- Yes.

What's new?

The usual...

See ya.

Mom?

Hello.

Hi, sweetie.

How are you?

Fine.

Sweetie.

You look pretty like that

with a dress on.

What about my shoes?

Are they new?

They're nice. Very nice.

Don't cry, my love.

I'll be OK.

I'll see you tomorrow?

Bye, sweetie.

Mom!

Don't go.

I don't want you to go!

Let go of me... Let go, sweetie.

No.

Sweetie... Come on, let go...

I'll be back in the morning, OK?

No...

I'll see you tomorrow morning, sweetie.

No.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Let go of me.

Iris?

Hello, it's Or.

Hi.

Do you have anything?

Then I can come?

OK.

Cool.

It's this way... Come on, girls.

A lesbian act!

Down here is just for kicks.

The real action takes place upstairs.

Come on, come on.

After the striptease,

once things get going,

you bring the groom up here.

- He sleeps with one of you... or both.

- No problem.

OK, perfect.

Some of the guys

are gonna be real horny...

Is what we arranged

on the phone OK?

1,000000 each?

Cool. I'm going back down.

Everyone has a good time. OK?

We'll be waiting downstairs.

- Where's the restroom?

- Here.

OK? We're waiting.
