All language subtitles for Bar 51 (1986) [eng] (1)-123

Mariana?

Sweetie, are you asleep?

If you're having trouble
sleeping, if you want to talk...

I can sleep.

- What are you thinking about?
- About Mom.

You know the Georgian doctor who's
treating Mom? I don't trust him.

He keeps jabbing her with needles
like she's some kind of animal.

- He says there's nothing to do.
- What does he know?

- He's not Georgian.
- So?

- Do you want to hear a Georgian joke?
- Okay.

This Georgian asks a hot chick
to dance and she says no.

So he says, "Then I guess I can
forget about a blow job, right?"

You idiot!

- Get back up on top. She'll be angry.
- I don't want to.

- It isn't warm.
- Then sit on it.

What's worrying you?

Irit Sheleg

Alon Aboutboul

Did something happen to you?
- No. -And to you? -No?

You promised you'd stop.

Do you want to eat
something, sweetie?

- What?
- I want something to eat, sweetie.

Maybe the fried snot you made.

Let him drink some beer.

Directed by Amos Guttman

Two burgers. Did you count them?

- You're impossible!
- Shut up and eat.

- Another beer.
- No, they won't win in the end.

It can't be.

As soon as I was born
the doctor said to me

I would never be
more than a little whore

I didn't get upset,
I was young at the time,

I gave him a blow job
and he apologized.

Avi, leave the girl alone.

What's the matter with you?
I'm just talking to her.

It's so smooth.
Is it natural?

It's natural with her.

- Get your hands off of her.
- What's your problem? - Leave her alone.

You're the only one who gets to
ride her? Let us have some too.

She only puts out for her family?

Everybody knows about you, dickhead.

Do you fuck your mother too,
you asshole?

Get the fuck out
of here, you too.

I don't want
to see you here anymore.

Why me?
I didn't start up with him.

Enough! I want nothing more
to do with you or your sister.

You shouldn't have started
fighting with them.

- No?
- No.

If not for me, you'll be buried here
all your life, just like Mom.

Right, big talker.

I've been hearing that since Dad
died. We'll never get out of here.

Clean me up a bit
so she won't notice.

- Well?
- Bend over.

- It's just a matter of time, you'll see.
- What is?

Till we get out of here.

I swear I'll get you out of here.

- Do you believe me?
- No.

No?

Thomas?

How are you?

Get back into your bed.

You're like a little baby.

Stay, little valentine, stay.

Each day is Valentine's Day.

Did anything happen?

- There's nothing out there.
- Maybe go back to the bookbindery?

I can't stand the noise there.

Besides, you know
the glue causes cancer.

I'll end up getting cancer
because of you.

What are you doing?

It's for the party. I made it
myself out of Mom's slip.

It shows.

- Do you want to hear?
- I'm dying to hear.

Turn around.

- Why?
- Come on.

I'm still working on it.

It goes like this:

You're my funny valentine.

Sweet comic valentine,

You make me smile with my heart...

Do you care what
those idiots are saying?

No...

A bit...

So what do you think?

Your tail fell off.

Hello...

We need...

We need a...

Come!

It's brocade, it's hand
embroidered, it's an original.

It's been handed down
in our family for generations.

It's good. -I'm not sure.
I don't know what I'll do with it.

- It comes with the books.
- Not the books.

- You never read them anyway.
- I'll start.

Without the books.

What do you say?

How much for the angel?

We're keeping that.
Mom gave that to me.

Hello. This is for you.

What is this?

- What is this "religious boarding school"?
- It's not far.

Your mother wanted Mariana
to go to boarding school.

But she surely didn't mean
a religious one.

That's what we
are able to provide.

Then I'm not... -Trust me, Thomas,
a religious school is better.

Did anyone ask you?

Do you want these?

- What about your black sweater?
- I hate it.

You'll need it.

You'll see, my first pay check,
I'll get you the hottest sweater.

I promise.

You know what I'll be making
as a front desk clerk?

I couldn't care less
about your job.

What choice did I have?
I didn't want any trouble.

I was afraid
I'd make things worse.

I don't want to become religious.

But the time will go by so fast,
you won't even notice. Trust me.

Besides, you'll come and stay
with me on weekends, holidays,

and Mariana, by the time you leave
there, I'll have enough money

because at the hotel I don't pay
for food, for my room, nothing.

What do you want from me?

To go with you.

Are you sure?

What are you doing?

Take it off. Take it off.

- She can do anything.
- We don't have any more openings.

Believe me, I trust her
more than I trust myself.

- What's your name?
- Ma... - Mariana.

- Where are you from?
- Migdal.

I'll see what I can do.

Run off to the kitchen,
you'll get your work clothes.

- What are you waiting for?
- What about her?

I told you,
I'll see what I can do.

Has anyone shown you
around Tel Aviv yet?

My brother and I are going
to the Wax Museum on Saturday.

Yes?

Thomas?

Something happened at home.
Can I speak to her?

- What happened to you?
- Come see what I prepared for you

while you sat there
like a whore,

making eyes at that asshole of a boss
who's old enough to be your father.

- He asked me to prepare some charts.
- What does he need charts for?

I don't know. -What do you know?
Why don't you ever ask?

He asked if I wanted to make
some extra money. -You idiot.

What do you want from me?

Come in. Come in, already.

Like an idiot,
I prepared a surprise for you.

- Champagne? Won't they miss it?
- Congratulations.

Sit down, I'll serve.
I took half the kitchen.

I just wanted to make
some money, for both of us.

- Can I take a shower?
- In there.

Bring me a bathrobe.

What's wrong?
I just wanted to sit there.

- Come, I found something. - A room?
- Not exactly.

What a dump!

It's just for now.
Here, take this.

- Is there any water here?
- Check and see.

There is.

- Abed. - Yes?
- Take that upstairs.

"Workers wanted."

- Do you have any previous experience?
- Yes.

I worked in a restaurant and
in a hotel, here in Tel Aviv.

Are you an Arab?

No, why?

Okay, come back
tomorrow and we'll see.

Try me for a few days,
trust me, you'll be pleased.

Come back tomorrow, but I don't
think this place is for you.

Why not? I don't have enough class
for this place?

You talk a lot.

Put up a sign
in Arabic, you asshole!

Why are you sleeping
in your clothes? Get undressed.

No, I don't want to.

Don't worry,
we'll find something.

Move your hand,
you're hurting my neck.

Turn towards me.

I miss Mom... and Dad...

Do you even remember Dad?

And everyone.

- Driver, can you take us to Lod?
- Do you have any money? - Of course.

- Show me.
- It's inside, it'll take me a second to get it.

- Like hell.
- Come on. It's cold! She'll stay with you as security.

Do us a favor.
We'll give you a good time.

I'm cold, I'm cold...

May I?

Not even a week old
and already they're worthless.

This is my favorite time of day.

The quiet, the sea...

Here.

Let me introduce myself.

- Appolonia Goldstein.
- Thomas.

Enchanté, sweetie.

- So, how was work today?
- I'm looking for a job.

A good-looking guy
like you can't find a job?

Maybe you don't know
how to speak to clients.

What do you mean?

Talk, talk, I want to know
what's going on with you.

We just arrived in Tel Aviv
and we're not set up yet.

You can sleep at my place tonight.

Did you say "we"?

- My sister and I.
- You and your sister.

Well, I'm not running a hotel
and I don't live on my own.

Do you have any money?

Are you so poor? You came
to Tel Aviv without any money?

My mother died. All the money
went for her treatments.

So you're orphans?

Fine.

Bring her.

We'll look her over,
if she's a good girl, then...

Karl... Karlika.

It's so nice here.

Get up, sweetie, we have guests.

Come, sweetie, you'll sleep here.

He won't disturb you.
He sleeps like a baby.

Come here.

Well, get into bed.

- You're not afraid of Appolonia?
- No. I'm very tired.

So let's help you.

Let me do it.

Now close your eyes

and think of nice things,

only nice things.

Move over.

Tomorrow we're out of here.

Are you all right?

All right? What an animal!

- You find that funny?
- I'm sorry.

I've never seen
anything like that before.

- Who's that?
- I don't know.

Did she see you leave?

I don't care.
We won't be staying in any case.

Karl! What are you doing?

Pardon.

Good morning.

Karl, go get dressed,

and wash your hands
before sitting down.

Okay.

This is Karl,
my choreographer and impresario.

You met him yesterday.

Now tell me everything
about yourselves.

We came to Tel Aviv last week.

You're not his sister.

Yes I am.

You don't look like each other.

I look more like my mother.

And now what do you want to do?

I want to be a dancer.

Thomas doesn't know that yet.

Finish eating.
We have to go.

Why do you want to go?
I didn't tell you to go.

I just want to know the truth,
that's why I'm asking.

I don't want you making a fool
out of me, bringing your girlfriend.

- Come on, finish up.
- Wait, just a minute.

- Karl, say something.
- Maybe you should speak to Luna.

I'm coming.

They removed his catheter
and now I'm always busy.

Learn something about alcohol
in the meantime.

- But I know nothing about drinks.
- There's nothing to know.

Luna's customers never heard of
cocktails. They're not demanding.

Scotch, please.

It's over there.

Hi. I'm Aranjuez.

Stop making goo-goo eyes at him.
I didn't bring him here for you.

If you need anything,
I'll be in the kitchen.

Just whistle.
You can whistle, can't you?

It's very important to me what
goes on here. We all care a lot.

Poor Appolonia didn't sleep
at all during the war in Lebanon.

A client of hers died there, Karl
wrote a nice piece in his memory.

Take this to Zara in the
dressing room, sweetie. -Okay.

If there aren't at least
400 people at my funeral,

then you can say, all my life...

- Is he your boyfriend?
- No, he's my brother.

He's very good-looking.
He reminds me a bit of Julio.

Do you know who Julio Iglesias is?

- Is your name really Aranjuez?
- Why not?

- This is for you.
- Leave it here.

Would you help me, please?
Hold this.

Pull it around.

Tighter.

Where has Luna been hiding you?

I'm new here.

That's it...

for now.

Do you want to fuck him?

Does it bother you?

It might.

Then maybe I will.

Israel?

Wow! You're so pretty.

- My sister's hot, isn't she?
- Yes. He dances so well.

He's a has-been. He used to be
a real dancer in Washington, DC.

He was famous. My sister
saw him on TV and went wild.

What happened? -He hurt his leg
and had to stop dancing.

He began drinking and everything.

She always falls for
the wrong men... like me.

- But at least they're performing.
- You call that performing?

She could easily find someone else
but she's crazy about him.

Did she come on to you, the whore?

Who? Zara?

Zara, my ass.

Zara Azoulay from Bat Yam,

thinks being runner-up to the
Queen of the Red Sea is hot shit.

She walks around with
her nose in the air.

Whores! She and her brother!

Enough, Appolonia, stop drinking!

Be quiet, Popeye.

Stop staring like an animal.

Better you should
concentrate on my number.

Lately, the lines you've been
writing for me put me to sleep.

- I washed my hair.
- I'm coming.

Don't cut off too much.

Comb the other side.

Your hair is like steel wool.
It has no shape.

I don't look any worse
than your dancer.

Are you back on that again?
Bend your head.

- Ouch! What's wrong with you?
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Finish up already.
The cow will be here soon.

She'll start complaining
we left the bathtub full of hair.

I don't like the way she looks at me.
She's scary. You know she is.

Ignore her.

It's not enough that I'm fucking her?
She'd better shut up.

Come here, sweetie.

I forgot to buy dietetic cookies.

In my life,
I've seen a lot of filth,

- but this...
- What are you talking about?

Enough, Thomas. I've been
suspicious for some time now,

but I never imagined that
it could really be this way.

Had I known from the start,
I would never have taken you in.

Not in my house.

What do you want?
It's my business, right?

That's what you think.

I don't want to remind
you that I got you your job.

You think Luna
would have hired you?

And I haven't asked to be paid
for room and food either.

We've been saving up for an apartment
and you'll get all your money back.

Just give me some time.

What are you talking about? You
don't have money for an apartment.

Your first month working
at the bar, I paid your salary,

out of my own pocket.

So now what do you want from me?
Do you want money?

I don't want anything,
I don't even have sex with you.

- Where are you going?
- To the street.

Thomas, wait.

I don't have the heart
to throw you out,

but in my house, you
won't sleep with her anymore.

This isn't the Hilton.
I have nowhere to put him.

- If you don't like it, go to Hollywood.
- He pisses in my dressing room.

I came to work in this dump,
not to clean up after him.

Have you no heart?
He can't be on his own at home.

And these performances
are no good for his heart.

What do I care? I don't want
him near me, you understand?

Chavaleh, come here.

Why did Avram stop drinking?

- What have you been saying to him?
- That it's not good for him.

I'm going to fire her.
Look at her stockings.

I'm going to fire her.

Luna, I wanted to ask you,
what about my advance?

You too? Where will I get
the money to pay you an advance?

What's got into everyone today?

Take it, take the bar,
I don't care. Take everything.

And 1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7 and a...

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5...

Stop. Enough, enough, enough.

- Where did you dance before?
- In kiddy groups and youth groups.

- Is that so?
- Karl?

I don't want him. He's a midget.

Everyone is too short for you.

Maybe you're right.

Do the number with them.

That's what you want...

to have them fucking on stage.
What do you need me for?

Appolonia!

Nice outfit.

Touch me, touch me,
when the night is cold.

Touch me, touch me,
close my eyes, melt my ice.

Make me cry,
never touch my soul.

Touch me, touch me,
when the night is cold.

Touch me, touch me,
keep me warm, light my soul,

Break my fall,
for I'm a human doll.

The fire is up and high,
I feel I'm going to fly.

If ever I reach the sky,
I wonder if I'll find

'Truth beneath the lies. .

Baby, hold me tight.

Come on and touch me,
touch me when the night is cold.

Touch me, touch me,
close my eyes, melt my ice,

Make me cry,
never touch my soul.

Touch me, touch me,
when the night is cold.

Touch me, touch me,
keep me warm, light my soul,

Break my fall,
for I'm a human doll.

The fire is up and high,
I feel I'm going to die.

Don't know the reason
why I always have to hide,

Covered in lies...

Would you like to show me around?

I'm busy.

We can go get ice cream.

No.

What's the matter? Don't you
speak English? -He speaks.

No!

Go to the kitchen.
I want to leave.

Some other time, huh?

Are you coming home?

Maybe.

If I'm drunk enough.

Touch me, touch me.

Touch me.

Touch... me.

- Thomas?
- I'm coming.

- Will you walk me home?
- Tell her to stuff it.

I'll be right there.

It won't do you any good.
She's a bigger whore than you.

Your "sick mother" stories won't
work on her like they did on me.

I'm such an idiot! -I'll be done
in a minute and I'll come.

- Why not now?
- Because I'm not your lover, okay?

- You're disgusting.
- Do me a favor, get off my back.

You have no one better
to steal from than me, you whore?

You won't get anywhere,
he's stuck to his sister.

Shut up or I'll rip your face up!

- Don't bother coming home!
- Fuck off!

You and Israel can sleep here
if you open the bed up.

I hate it
when she calls me "Israel".

Does she pay you at least?

Why, is fucking for Karl better?

I have a family to support, sweetie.

So do I, honey.

- Come have something to drink.
- I don't drink.

It doesn't do it for me.
Do you have something to smoke?

It doesn't do it for me.

We'll try to find
a room tomorrow morning.

You can stay here. In any case,
we're going to Greece.

Are you nuts? I don't have
money for a place like this.

Nicholas isn't coming back?

If he doesn't get laid.

So that's how
things are between you?

And you?

How are things between you?

Should I call your sister
to come and help?

- I didn't hear you.
- I asked if you want me to...

Don't start up with me.
What's your story?

- Let's go to sleep.
- What do you want?

- Don't you have a boyfriend?
- Not really.

What do you mean, "not really"?
You don't fuck?

Are you a virgin?

You can tell me,
I won't tell anyone.

Yes.

Why?

Why haven't you gone all the way?
Waiting for your wedding?

You're my funny valentine.

Sweet comic valentine.

You make me smile with my heart...

Nicholas won't be angry
that we're staying with you?

On the contrary.
Cool, isn't it?

Wait, I'll show you
the whole album.

Not so fast.

There's one picture
where you almost see all of him.

Look at the size of it.

To die for.

Thomas, come see.

Help me.

Come on, help me.

Leave him.
I'll take him.

- Come.
- I can take care of myself.

Hey, where's everybody sleeping?

Come here.

Sweetie?

Please, I don't want to talk.

I want to sleep.

- Where are you living now?
- With Appolonia.

Hey, listen,
sorry about last night,

if I did anything, you know.

Nicholas says he can get me
into dance school at half price.

- He has connections there.
- We'll discuss it, okay?

I wanted to be
a dancer all the life.

Stop making a fool of yourself.

Why are you always so depressed?
It's really depressing.

- You go to Greece?
- No, I'm not going to Greece.

Now you're telling me?

- Me neither.
- You'll do exactly what I say.

- So what do you say?
- You need to know right now?

You've been promising for
a month and nothing's happened.

- Besides, half the money is mine.
- Alright, already.

Why are you all over me?
Did I say no?

If I pay for everything
in advance do I get a discount?

If I pay for everything
in advance do I get a discount?

- No.
- It's a lot of money. - Yes.

I looked into other places and
their prices are more reasonable.

It could be. -Nicholas has already
come to an agreement with them.

An agreement?
These are his connections?

At this price, I can send you
to the National Theater.

Are the teachers here any good?

Here's a brochure with all
the details. Read it and decide.

I'm going... -Just a minute,
where are you going?

Okay, go.

Hello.

You can be a little nicer,
can't you?

8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...

I wasn't so good
I was too much nervous.

- You'll be good.
- I hope so.

You waited for me?

"You waited for me?"

We're going back to Appolonia.

- I'm not going back.
- Yes you are.

You leave my sister, okay?

- Why?
- Because that's what I want.

Please, it's all right.
He's my brother.

Thank you, Nicholas.

You scare me when you're
like this. What did I do?

- Stop, tell me what I did.
- We'll talk at Appolonia's.

No! -You'll do what I say,
you understand?

I saved you.

I never know how to behave
so you won't get angry.

I saw the way you danced today.

You're not happy for me?

Of course I am.

Besides, I'm with you.

Yes, but you won't stay with me
if given the opportunity, right?

You're choking me.

You can also do a lot.
You're very talented.

You can,
and you're also good looking.

I don't know what you should do.

- Maybe we should say we're sorry.
- Okay, you go first.

Why me? -Because
they feel sorrier for you.

Come in.

Thomas wants to apologize.

Do I deserve that?

No.

I waited. I didn't sleep
all night, I was so worried.

I'm sorry.

I want to talk to you, Thomas.

Talk.

Not in front of the girl.

I know my limitations.
I shouldn't be jealous.

Tell me,

don't you think
I deserve more than this?

I see.

Maybe you should go to her?
You weren't nice to her.

What will I say?

There are days when you
think all kinds of thoughts,

and you want to cry,
but instead of crying, you sing

and when you sing together,

you feel wonderful

and this wonderful feeling,

I want us all to experience
this evening,

here, together.

This is an opportunity to sing
with tired-looking soldiers

who are awake for singing.

Nice girls with beautiful eyes
we have in the Land of Israel.

And good boys, oh, who
would have believed it?

And we have a Torah
that gives off such a light.

And the Haggadah and the Megmah.

And one God and the voices
of a bride and a groom.

The land of Israel is beautiful
the land of Israel is blooming.

You sit and watch
You look at her, and you blossom.

Where's Mariana?

She'll be fine.

I'm worried about you.

Where did she go?

It's better for you, trust me.

Sometimes I want to beat you up.

Are you getting nasty again?
It's not worth it, sweetie.

When my mouth isn't happy,
you won't get any.

Listen... -You'll burn in hell,
you and your sister.

I never touched her.

Let me help you, Thomas.

The little one will manage.
She's strong. She's not like us.

Fuck off!

Hey, Thomas, you coming to us?

Look what happened to me.

I went walking with someone
and his gang ambushed me.

Would you mind if I say
I was with you?

Your sister isn't here.

You miserable little worm!

Don't I have enough problems
without worrying about your ass?

Did they leave together?

Loud as I shouted, no one came.

- There should be security in the park.
- Sit down. - I can't.

Did they go together?

They went together.

Nicholas is lucky.
Women like to save him.

Where did they go?

To watch the sunset, I think.

I'll be good. You'll see.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...

It's okay.

It's okay.
Come on, it's okay.

That was amateurish.

It's my business, Thomas.

Since when?

Since now.

You idiot. You think
you'll get something from him?

- He'll take me away from here.
- Is that what he said?

Not yet, he needs someone.

- So do I.
- Stop it, Thomas.

I want something for myself.

To be that drunk's whore?
Is that what you want?

Yes.

Don't you love me anymore?

I do,

but not like you want me to.

How do I want you to?

Not the way I can,

like it's supposed to be.

I want to go now.

Don't go.

You think you'll get off so easy?

You think I'll let you?

We're finished, Karl.

We'll find someone else.
He's not the only one.

Only him and him alone.
I'm a big joke, Karl.

An old mattress left over
from the War of Independence.

We have each other.
We have our art.

Maybe we'll go
to Palma in the summer.

It's nice there.

Thomas?

I looked in all the shelters
until I found this dump.

Your sister said she might come.
I think she was afraid to come.

I didn't go away in the end.

I wanted to stay with you.

I know how you feel, really.
I felt the same way many times.

I told Luna you were sick but
she'll dump you if you don't come.

Thomas, enough already!

Look at what you're doing.

You have to pull
yourself together.

I'll get us something to eat and
then we'll fix this place up, okay?

Wait for me here.

I'll go now to the studio,
after this I'll go to the bank.

At six I have the audition.
You can do the shopping, maybe?

Never mind.

- Come over here. - I'm in a hurry.
- Come here.

What?

No, Nicholas.

I can't concentrate
in the studio after this.

What's wrong with you?

What is it?

I think of Thomas...

I don't know.

I go now, okay?

Eat something.
Doesn't it taste good?

Nicholas came to the bar today
and had a fight with Luna.

Did you talk to him?

After the way he treated my sister?
Never.

- Where is she?
- In Greece.

Mariana.

She... found work in a new club.

Did you see her?

For a minute.
I went to get my things.

She was walking around in my
sister's robe as if it were her house.

Did you talk?

I just asked if she knew
what was happening with you.

Members only.

My sister performs here.
Can you call her?

Stand aside.
You're blocking people going in.

You came to see me?

I didn't invite you because
the performance wasn't ready yet.

Today is just a trial run.

I might even get a solo.

Do you strip here too?

It's not that kind of a place.

I have to go,
so find yourself a spot.

A man sits on the fence
and looks around.

Maybe he's a little bored,

maybe he's sick of people.

He looks and doesn't understand
where everyone is running.

There's time, there's time,
there's time, and he laughs.

He looks and doesn't understand
where everyone is running.

Wait a minute, he says...

I was a bit too nervous
and can I tell you something?

That idiot flounces her dress, and
hogs the whole stage, just to hide me.

I don't know if you noticed.

It'll be all right.
Can I offer you a lift?

No thank you.
Nicholas is picking me up.

See you tomorrow?

- You left all your things with me.
- There's no rush.

Come with me,
just for a little while.

I can't today.

Please?

Wait outside for me.
I'll be just a minute.

What's wrong? Afraid
to come over to my place?

I can't believe
you're back in this dump.

- Next month I'll have more money...
- Stop it.

I promise we'll see each other
more often as soon as I have time.

- Is Aranjuez here?
- He probably went to a movie.

I'm sorry I haven't been nice
to you, but it's just for now.

- I wanted us to talk a bit.
- What about?

Nothing special, about
our plans, how we got here.

Don't get heavy on me.
There were some good things, too.

I can't stand it
if you're with someone else.

Let's go outside for a while,
take a walk, talk a bit.

Stay here with me.

You scare me
when you're high like this.

I'll make some tea, okay?

Everything will be
all right, Thomas, really.

You're my brother.

Please.

You're really strung out.

No... No...

Love me.

It's what you want.

Stay little valentine...
