Zero Motivation Page #7

no one can take that away from you.

Don't think I overlooked the fact

that you're talented and dedicated.

But looking at other aspects, personal communication,

and the ability to command efficiently

are also very important

for a military career.

To Rama and Liat. Good luck

in your future endeavors.

Thank you, Boaz.

Damn. Shira left... now you.

Namonet is leaving as well.

It'll be just me very soon.

Guys, today we are saying goodbye to an

officer that gave 110 percent of herself.

So, a round of applause for Rama.

Rama, good luck with your civilian life.

I also prepared something.

Franz Kafka once said: "The

chains that cuff humanity..."

"are made of office paper."

And really, after we lost all

the records, I was lost.

But in the past few weeks, we started

the digital records restoration,

broke loose from the papers, and I'm proud

to announce that we are the most advanced

and eco-friendly office in the IDF.

And big thanks to Zachi, our

great computer systems officer,

who worked day and night.

Cheers!

Hold on.

I would like to end on a personal note...

Excuse me, Boaz?

Ofer is waiting in the office. He says

it's urgent. The region just got hot.

Okay, get the operations officer and company

officer for an evaluation. Nir, come.

Rama, good luck with your civilian life.

Thank you, Boaz.

Have fun! Thank you.

You can go ahead and eat the pie

if you like. My mom made it.

Thanks, Zachi.

Well...

Okay, good luck... I'll

be in the office for now.

Good luck, Rama.

First Lieutenant, Daphne Tsafrir!

First Lieutenant, Shira Pinchas!

First in class, Tama Lahav...

Dafi, the commanders are very proud of you.

I'm speaking on behalf of all of us.

You arrived here as a soldier

that didn't believe in herself.

You came a long way in empowering yourself and

now, there is an officer sitting before of us

a success.

You're going from here to additional

training and this is your placement.

Good luck.

No, this can't be. It's a mistake.

For sure, I'm supposed to

be placed in the city.

I'm supposed to be placed in the City.

It's... it's all been taken care of.

No. No. It's not a mistake. It's correct.

Dafi?

We've all been so impressed

by your motivation.

You remember that we're here

to serve the military. Right?

For six months I've been

suffering this training

and what helped me make it was

believing I'd be placed in the City.

It's too exaggerated. There's a war going

on out there. Pull yourself together.

War? I'm just a non-combatant officer!

What? Our soldiers are getting killed and

here you are, crying over your placement?

Come on, Dafi. Let's not be disgraceful.

In regards to the medical aspect, evacuation

is based on two ambulances in Ze'ev.

This week we're expecting a heat index of 3,

so we're supplying a water tanker of course.

We need to pay attention that everyone drinks

because last week three trainees were evacuated.

It was a long hour until that wretched doctor

found them. One is still in the hospital.

And listen, I don't want

to have anymore incidents.

Okay, did the maintenance

officer update you?

Okay. Pay attention to the next move.

Zohar... Quiet

What about that coffee? All

the officers are waiting.

Hold on...

I'm going to break the record.

Let's not be disgraceful. There's a war going

on out there and you're playing computer games?

What do you want? I'm

sweeping mines over here!

It's really dangerous.

The crowd is on its feet.

All the Mine Sweeper champions...

and she's clearing her

targets with no fear.

Who's the boss? Me!

Alright, shut up, shut up, shut up.

Thank you, Gd! I broke the world record!

You really have an attitude.

This talk sounds familiar.

Is that what they teach you

at officer training? Respect?

You'll get up right now and

take these trays for me.

I can't get up. We're

in the middle of a bet.

Excuse me?

We're betting who can last the longest

without getting off their chair.

With all due respect, I have no intention

of losing to these green soldiers.

Zohar, I already prepared everything.

Just serve this please.

Give me a push, come on!

Zohar, stop it!

Zohar! You will get off

of that chair right now.

But this is a new start. Finally,

they won't check out our asses.

Zohar Ben Ari, you just

got denied your vacation.

I understand that you want

to act like a commander

because you're upset that you got screwed and

have to stay here for double the time, but

I'm sorry. I'm going to have

fun here and not suffer.

My time is valuable.

Even if I can't wait for it to be over.

So, take it down a notch with

this, "denial of vacation" thing.

Are you trying me?

Don't repeat her like that.

Poor thing, she's sick.

She has First Lieutenant sickness.

But it will pass, right, Dafi?

Okay, well it seems you're

enjoying each others company.

So from now on, every punishment Zohar

gets will carry on to all of you.

Is that clear? You have 10

seconds to get in formation.

Formation? There's only four of us.

Let's go.

When welcoming an officer, the office

soldiers will stand at attention.

Two, three... Attention.

What are you? A Drill Instructor?

Give me a hundred sit ups.

Yeah, right!

Okay, like I said before, the

punishment carries on to all of you and

now you need to give me a hundred sit ups.

Quickly, or it's going to be 200.

One, two, two...

Have you lost your mind?

I'm your officer now. Get it already.

I'm an officer now.

"I will appreciate if you consider my

difficulties of being in a desert"

"that triggers my allergic reactions."

"I'm under close observation

by orthopedists and surgeons"

"And so, I would be able to contribute more if I am

stationed in the City rather than Shizafon Base."

It's important for me."

You're so mean.

Zohar, look at me.

Commander.

You can't make me look at you.

Especially not while I'm eating.

Don't you have even a little

respect for our past friendship?

Friendship? You just cared

about getting out of here.

A true friendship is to stick together.

A true friendship is that you care about

somone, with no regards to their location.

And you only care about yourself.

Stop playing, we're having a conversation.

I can't stop playing, my dear,

because I'm about to set another record.

I'm going to delete them. All these games.

Delete? You don't even

know where "Enter" is.

You barely even know how to turn it on.

Here it is. Pretty simple.

Don't Touch it.

Move, Zohar, you're in the way.

I'm just reminding you that mine and your highest

scores in "Average Mine Sweeper" are on this computer.

Been set to "Minesweeper" on this computer.

I don't care about the high scores anymore.

These high scores are the best

achievements you will ever have.

Don't move.

Cut the bullshit.

The next one will be

right between your eyes.

Zohar, Stop! You're insane.

Get off the computer.

No.

Dafi, I'm warning you.

Dafi! Don't you touch my computer!

Dafi!

Don't you touch my computer!
