Zero Motivation Page #3

you need anything, just say so.

"Fleeting meeting,"

"parting forever."

"He is looking for a man,

but his feet stumble."

"He will not be able to find,"

"one that was lost..."

Eating from the floor? Disgusting.

I'm telling you, Zohar, nothing disgusts her.

That's the way it is at the kibbutz?

Yeah. And how is it in the ghetto?

Watch it!

Don't worry about her. Ignore her.

Yeah, ignore me.

"My last day"

"is near..."

Dafi... Dafi.

Do you really think he looked at me today?

I'm worried about Tehila. How long

does it someone to take a sh*t?

She's probably constipated. Like

you were when you first got here.

Can you shut up already?

I'm trying to go to sleep.

Who, them or us?

Both.

"We are..."

Livanat...

F***!

Sh*t!

Yes?

I'm coming.

We don't have to wait for

the CID investigation

to know this was a disaster.

It's not enough that a soldier

in our unit committed suicide.

She wasn't even a soldier.

She was an impostor.

Five Sergeants sitting in one office

and no one even thought about it?

She didn't have a military ID card, no

dog tag... She did have them, Rama.

I heard she stole a drill instructors'

backpack in a bathroom in Be'er Sheeva.

But if a soldier is coming and no one

reported him and he's not on any lists,

You need to report to me immediately!

You said you didn't have time for it.

Come again?

That's what you told Dafi. That you

didn't have time for this nonsense.

You have a bad attitude, you know that?

Yeah, you've told me like 700 times.

I'm not supposed to individually take care

of every soldier that arrives on this base.

You know why? Because it's not my job.

I'm supposed to oversee

your job, not do it myself.

If one of you would have bothered to call and

find out, or told me there was a problem

You could have saved her life.

And your ass.

My ass?

Yeah. What's the deal with blaming us?

You're the officer here.

Be accountable for this.

I will be accountable for this.

For the fact that my soldiers have the worst

attitudes. I will be held accountable for that.

I swear, Zohar, I will make a person out of

you. You won't go on vacation on my shift.

You're denied of vacation.

You already did that.

So, another one. Would you like another?

It's already three. How

about learning to count?

You're right. I'm wrong. Make it

four vacations. Shall I continue?

Rama.

Let's go over the details again.

She arrived with Dafi yesterday

morning at 10:
00 AM.

Let's continue this conversation

in the conference room, okay?

I'm going to kill myself too. It's the only

way people will pay attention to me here.

If you kill yourself they'll pay attention to you, but

you won't be able to enjoy it because you'll be dead.

Have you thought about that? I don't care!

I'm going to kill myself and you need

to report that I threatened to do it.

Kill yourself first, then we'll report it.

You don't believe me? We do.

Why not? We wanna see it.

I'll drink some white-out. It says,

'Danger. Not for consumption'.

Well, now it's empty, but just

wait until we get supplies.

You'll regret you didn't believe me.

I have some, here you go.

What else are you hiding in that drawer?

All this was waiting for you in the

registration office, mail Sergeant.

Thanks. Do you know what they call

the personnel office on this base?

"The Flea Market."

That's what they call the personnel offices on

every base. Not my office! Not over my dead body!

Paper Shredding Sergeant, do you think that in-between

all your writing and complaining to the Chief of Staff

you might find some time to do your job?

We thought we didn't recycle anymore

so we threw everything together.

Can you shred this too please?

"Sincerely, Dafta Tsafrir, 6125824"

Chief of General Staff. Subject:

"Personal request for transfer."

What's this?

You never sent my letters?

Dafi... I can't believe you've

been lying to me all this time.

I wasn't lying. Yes you were, and

you pretended to help me. Hey!

I worked really hard on these

letters and you never sent them!

You didn't send them!

I saved you from the humiliation,

They would probably end

up in the trash or...

or even worse, on some wall as a joke.

You think my biggest dream is a joke? Your

biggest dream is a little lame, don't you think?

I mean... making coffee in the City instead

of here. At least here you have me.

Do you think you can find a best

friend like me just anywhere?

I hope I never find a

friend like you again.

Yeah, I have no idea where you can find someone that

will wait an hour and a half for you in Be'er Sheeva

so you don't have to walk

in to the base alone.

So, you're doing me a favor?

Okay, I'm sorry!

I was pissed off at the Army for no reason. You're the one that

doesn't give a damn about me, and you're the reason I'm still here.

You know what? Go ahead and send

your whiny letters, you naive baby.

Let's see who will actually care?

Maybe the Chief of Staff!

Explain to me what's so appealing

about the City for you?

At the end of boot camp they

let me choose three bases

so I wrote, "Town, City, Town."

I understand that, but why?

Usually, someone who wants to serve in

the City wants to be closer to home

but you're from Haifa.

But I'll live in Tel Aviv

and have a real life.

You know that Kiryat is a commuter base.

For a soldier that doesn't live in Central Israel,

the IDF has to organize them a place to live,

and pay for a portion of the rent.

It's not that simple.

But I can't stay here any

longer, Anati. Anat.

Fill out the reasons for the transfer

request and put it in my mailbox.

I'll try to forward the request

but it'll take some time.

I hated my old base too but I didn't

act like it was such a tragedy.

So how did you leave?

I went in for Officer Training.

Thanks.

Is everything alright?

"I remember her, I..."

You start with this line,

"and then step into me."

"I remember it, I remember

it from the store..."

"I remember it, I remember

she bought some semolina."

"I've remembered it a long time,

since the third grade..."

Personnel Department. Yes...

Hi, can I please get a transfer form?

Hi! What?

A transfer form. This is the

personnel department, isn't it?

What, are you leaving?

Can you give this to Dafi? I

forgot to give it back to her.

So, do you have one?

What?

A transfer form. Yeah. She Has it.

Okay, thanks.

I'm not kidding, Rama.

Can you repeat that?

I said I want...

Louder! To think bigger,

to think about what I can give

and not about what I can take.

I'd like to be an officer like Rama.

I'm honored to have such a role model.

Very impressive.

And it's important for me to say that,

Rama isn't to blame for... the incident.

It was us, the receptionists

that made the mistake. Myself.

It seems like there are

plenty of mistakes here.

The guilty person was the front gate guard who

allowed a civilian in with a fake military ID card.

Okay.

Anyway, it wasn't Rama.

Boaz, are you with me?

I'm still on the line.
