You Don't Mess with the Zohan Page #5

Synopsis: Zohan Dvir works as a Special Agent and lives with his orthodox parents in Israel. He wants to give up this life full of dangerous encounters with Palestinians. While in the process of apprehending a Palestinian activist known simply as the Phantom, he fakes his death, hides in a dog-kennel on a plane bound for New York, and decides to try his hand as a hair-stylist. He is refused employment initially, but when he offers to work for free, Dahlia hires him as a cleaner. When a hair-stylist named Debbie quits, Zohan replaces her, winning over elderly female clientèle, and falling in love with Dahlia herself. Before Zohan could propose to her, Dahlia's landlord, Walbridge, who has been raising rents regularly, hires skinhead goons to terrorize the neighborhood, creates misunderstandings between Jews, Muslims, Arabs, and Palestinians, and drives them out, so as to enable him to construct a new building which is topped by a roller coaster. When Zohan decides to confront these skinheads, he

- No.

Why don't you go after

the snatchacheem in this place!

They all want you, believe me.

Scrappy, I wouldn't be so sure.

I'm telling you,

you're not picking up the signs.

Come with me.

I'll show you a technique. It's beautiful.

Hello, Mrs. Haynes. How are you!

You want the cut and color today!

Yes, please. Thanks.

Watch.

You see! She's going with it.

It's good.

Yep.

- She has a free shoulder. Come join.

- I'm good.

Mrs. Haynes,

you're getting cold here.

Claude, come. Keep her warm.

Go ahead. Yes.

And gently move.

Gently move the shoulder.

All you want to do is let her know

you're here for her.

Now look away

like you're not even doing it.

We're not doing this.

- Same rhythm.

- Okay.

Push. Push. Push.

Oh, you're pushing harder.

It's starting to feel good on my end.

I am trying to make money

to start my own business, huh.

Would you say you read Spiegel

once a month, twice...

Would you just get us

to the hair salon!

We're gonna miss our appointment.

I curse you, and I curse your hair.

What is big deal

about this hair place anyway!

They get worse every year.

Okay, we'll take them to the truck.

We'll just talk to them. But we'll find a...

Did you throw this shoe at me,

my friend!

No!

Sure looks like it was you.

Then who threw it!

Okay. You're lucky I'm in good mood.

I'll let you off the hook.

Nobody spits on me.

Thank you for the goat, my friend.

Yes.

Goat!

Goat.

Goat!

Goat!

Goat.

I said, "Can we have the receipt!"

Yes. Die in hell.

Welcome.

We'll color your hair Bling-Bling

Blond. This is what you need.

You know what else they go for!

The... I don't know what you have,

but mine is the biggest.

This...

It does not get bigger than this.

It's enormous. Scary. I mean:

What!

I have the biggest. It's the biggest.

Take a look at this.

Look.

- It's not that big.

- It's not that...!

No, no, no. The bush.

The bush is the biggest.

And the girls like this

because it's cushion.

It is no bullshaklaga. He is the one.

I never forget a face.

So, what do you want I do!

Wait. I conference you.

Hello!

Nasi, emergency meeting.

You're on with Hamdi as well.

- Hello, Nasi.

- Hello, Hamdi.

Can you believe

how much they pay Delgado!

Yes. Why Mets do this!

This is serious. We meet!

I explain why is emergency.

This is not just man

who take my goat.

- Zohan Dvir.

- Yes.

Everyone think Phantom kill him.

Phantom not kill him.

We will capture,

then make trade with Israel.

We will be heroes.

But, Salim, we are not Jihadim. We

don't know for sure that this is him.

Let's call Hamas, Hezbollah.

Let them handle this.

- Leave it to the pros.

- No.

Hezbollah shmezbollah.

Hezbollah will take all the credit.

This is our shot.

Why not let Phantom capture him!

Screw Phantom. He hero already.

Where's my chain

of muchentuchen restaurants!

Salim, don't make this

about yourself.

This is about me.

And about him.

And about my goat!

Come on, let's go!

This is nice,

the walking inside the outside.

The park, the people,

the horses, the kid.

Well, you're always downtown.

You should see

a little more of New York.

Yes, yes, this is good.

The talking is good...

...to get to know each other

before the bang-boom. I like.

Oh, no, no, no.

There will be no bang-booming.

I just wanted to thank you

for saving my business.

- This isn't a date.

- No, no, no.

I feel you have helped me so much...

The right thing to do

is to tap you so hard...

...my schtitzel will come out

your poopech. That's what I think.

Look, why don't we

just enjoy the park!

No, no, no. This is what we do.

Hey, look, softball.

- You like softball!

- Of course, I love softball.

What is softball! Teach me how to.

I learned softball

when I came to the States.

When you're Arab, it helps to fit in.

Yeah, how long you move here ago!

Just a few years ago.

I couldn't take it there anymore.

All the hate, on both sides.

Yes, especially yours.

Why you say this! You don't know.

No, no, I don't. I read this.

The Australian-Tibet media

is very biased.

Look, both sides crazy.

My own family...

My brother...

...if he knew I work cross street

from Israelis, he would lose it.

- Really!

- You have the hardcores on both sides.

They just want to fight and fight.

Nobody will win this way.

It has to stop.

When will it end, eh! Yes.

Okay, so you must be thirsty, no!

Here.

Where you get this!

This! From specialty shop

on West Side.

This Middle Eastern drink.

You know this! Fizzy Bubblech!

No, no, no. It looks pretty good.

Oh, try, try. It's very good.

Try, have a sip.

It's not for me.

No! Really!

This is his shop.

Here is photo for compare.

For how long this take!

I close the newsstand.

Make sure you ask him

if he ever hit by shoe.

And about the prize goat

that can fetch a bowl of onion soup.

Look in his eyes when you

ask him this, for they will be suffering.

- You know, I just got haircut.

- Go.

Look at this. I feel like Hugh Hefner

with all you little bunnies around here.

Okay, okay,

let's see who is going next.

"Jorge Posada," where are you!

That's me.

Okay, good-looking guy,

you take a seat there. You're next.

You know, you look like

you already just got haircut.

No, no.

So I guessing you're looking for

something in the silky smooth area!

- Well...

- Because I see you have nice curls.

You don't want to

cut into those curls.

We will talk about this over there.

Okay, Scrappy, I wait.

Is not like I have a shoe to throw.

Sure. Yes. Beautiful. Whatever.

I don't have time to go watch

a goat fetch soap.

- What!

- What! I don't know.

Listen, my friend...

...you want to talk, it's good,

but you have to wait your turn.

First I have to cut and bang

Mrs. Greenhouse.

- That's right.

- Okay.

Well, I'm ready for it.

Oh, dear.

I am sorry, Mrs. Greenhouse.

I am not man enough for you today.

Oh, Scrappy, it's fine.

I don't know what the problem is.

I am going to lose business.

Oh, no, dear. You're still adorable.

The screwing

was really just a bonus.

You are an angel, Mrs. Greenhouse.

An angel with a magic throat.

Oh, Scrappy!

No, that could work.

One more, please.

Let's see what we got.

And we're still nothing.

Well!

He was very cool.

Idiot. What did he say!

He think I have nice curls

that go well with a full face.

- But was it him!

- Well, it looked like him.

But hard to know.

I tell you this:
he didn't seem to care

when I talk about goat fetching soap.

Soup. The goat fetched soup.

You ruin everything.

Soup! This makes no sense.

Screw you. It's him. I know it's him.

The goat fetched soup!

This is unbelievable.

Go to hell.

You said it was urgent!

It's an emergency.

Please, take a look.

Yes, yes.

Well, that's not a real problem.

You can always shave it.

No, not the bush.

No, inside the bush.

Look deeper. Him.

- I see.

- He lays in there all day long.

Maybe it needs some more oxygen.

It looks like it's being strangled.
