Original subtitles

My dad? He doesn't care about anything.

He just walks around among the cows all day long, thinking about my mom.

I knew he wouldn't go looking for me.

In such a small country, if you go to the trouble of running away,

you'd only go to Tel Aviv.

Crows

I didn't know where I was going or what I would do.

I didn't think I'd be walking down the street and some family would invite me over for dinner.

That only happens in books, not in real life.

People don't take things into their homes just like that,

they only throw their garbage out,

they think it makes them not smell as bad.

Eli!

Eli, come on, there's a bunch of lettuce here. Get the bag.

Hey.

Are those oranges yours? -No. -Holding on to them for someone?

Yuval, let's go.

Get the fuck out of here, out!

This is my market! What is this?

Don't come 'round here!

Let's go, you shouldn't look at them.

Want to come in? Go on.

Did you get food?

Yuval, put the water on.

I see you've brought a chicken for Shabbat.

Too bad we don't have an oven.

She's not for eating, honey.

She doesn't look very tasty, anyway.

I think I should go.

Yeah, maybe you should.

Wake me up when there's food.

We'll have food when you come with us to get it.

Fine, I'll tell Itzik to take me to a restaurant.

Don't mind that idiot.

Your mother's an idiot.

You're staying for dinner, right?

Maggie! Got any money on you?

Yes, a little. -In that case, Eli,

how about you go out for cigarettes? -Okay, then you make coffee.

We only have sugar.

I can make you lettuce juice with sugar. -Gross.

Let me tell you, it's very healthy.

Okay, but add a cockroach or two, for protein.

Was I asleep for a long time?

No.

Say, where's Daniel?

I think they went to some night club or something.

Night club, eh?

Do you also live with them? -With them?

No, they live with me. Why, are you also joining the commune?

No. I mean... Yuval told me I could stay.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

It's okay, she will sleep with me and Yuval on the mattress. -Ellice?

Ellice isn't here.

Try next week, she's in the hospital.

Fine, no one will kick you out.

I've had worse guests than you. What's your name?

This is Margalit, the representative of the Collective Agricultural Labor Settlements.

Maggie.

Itzik.

The representative of the Urban Intelligence.

I thought I'd leave the next day, but I stayed.

Everyone in this place acted like...

like they could get out and leave whenever they wanted.

But it was quite clear that they actually had nowhere to go. I did.

But my father wouldn't have noticed if I came home.

He probably didn't even notice that I was gone until now.

There was nothing to do.

Get up at noon, see that there's no food,

go back to sleep.

Waiting until it got dark,

that was the sign to get dressed.

I never really knew what gays were.

But suddenly, somehow, it made all the sense in the world.

You don't have to finish all the makeup at once. Then you're surprised that you get pimples.

Oh. You're right, I overdid it, I look like a whore.

Are you enjoying yourself, Margalit?

Don't forget to bring the cassette and the fan.

I don't know if I'm coming at all. -What do you mean you're not coming?

You promised you'd help me. It's not everyday that I'm performing.

You're the only one I can trust. -That's a shame.

Put on this dress, then I'll see what can be done with your hair.

My, he's such a good dancer.

You don't have such things in the village, eh? -No.

Your hand is in the way, your hand is in the way.

Just a minute. Boogie, I'll be right there.

Put your hand down, put it down, put it down.

Boogie! Mommy's here. -Do you have a light?

No, I don't have a light. Look at me, look at me.

Boogie! I have a sausage for you.

Streaks next to the ears. -Where can I add streaks, love?

Next to the ears. Look over here, look over here. Boogie!

Boogie...

Mommy brought meat, mommy brought sausage.

And if you sit still, you'll sleep in bed with me today. Come, sweetie. -Sit down, sit down.

I'm not done yet. -Boogie...

Is Ellice here? -She's not here, she's in the hospital.

She'll come next week. -Oh.

Boogie, sit down! -Boogie! -Calm down! -Boogie, come here.

Orna, catch him! Catch him!

Boogie, where are you going? -Boogie, come here. Come here.

You'll smear the whole house, you idiot.

Boogie... -Leave that poor dog alone.

Leave this poor girl alone! She looks like a monster.

All this punk really disgusts me. Don't look, don't look, you shouldn't.

You'll pass out, you ugly thing. -Maybe you'll shut up?

Boogie! -If you had better taste,

you'd stop showing off like a little blonde wiener.

Besides, I didn't bring Maggie to amuse you,

so you better look in the mirror and trash talk yourself.

Look at yourself. You little.... -Now you listen, I don't have to put up

with all the nasty types you bring here. Did you hear me?

And Itzik doesn't have to support them. -You piece of shit! Is this the way you thank me?

Who's paying half your rent? Who brought you here? Me!

You see? Now she's gone.

If you open your mouth again I'll make sure you'll be out of here.

Is that so? As a friend of Itzik, I have the same rights as you.

You don't say! -I mean every word!

You're going to see Itzik's real face and learn exactly who...

Don't look at people on the street, it's impolite.

Tell me, is this the new style in town now?

Or did you just escape from an insane asylum?

Daniel doesn't want me to stay, he hates me.

Daniel is incapable of hating more than one person and that person is Yuval.

He's just using you to annoy him.

Now come.

And I suggest you file a libel suit against your hairdresser.

I've had it with you!

Come, sweetie. -Come on now!

Boogie, come over, come over sweetie.

Come on, I'm tired of you. -Orna!

Hi. -Hey, come help me get him out.

Come here... Boogie, he's frightened.

Oh, there you are. Well, sit down. -Boogie, come here...

I will do something really nice for you. -Why, isn't it pretty enough?

You don't show half the work to a fool. - I'm not a fool.

Come on now, you're so annoying!

Shut up!

Listen, it's a silver BMW.

Yes, of course. Especially with dandruff.

You do it well too, eh? -Of course.

Maggie, come help me for a minute.

What sign are you? -Cow.

I heard about Dog sign...

Hold it, like this. -Wow, what is this?

Tell me, are you homosexual?

I'm a homo sapiens. Why are you asking? -Sapiens?

Yes, yes. -Not sapiens.

Tell me, what does your mom say about you looking like this?

She bought me ballet shoes with skates. -Room service.

Girls! The runway is starting, go downstairs, everyone

There's no... Don't touch the food!

Yuval, what's with those spikes?! What do you think, it's a criminal's show? -It's very pretty.

You go out now, like this. -Alex, I have to... -No problem.

The runway is starting, get downstairs. I won't hear it.

What's this? Go, hurry. And look after your diet. Out!

Open up, open your bag. Quickly, quickly!

Wow...

Hey, take this as well.

No, that's mine.

Take that too. Don't forget to get toilet paper!

But where am I going to put it all?

So as I turn, suddenly I see just below me a pair of the most disgusting

nouveau riches, straight from the market.

And the woman wears earrings that she must have gotten from some gum machine in a grocery store

and has this hairstyle that looks like it exploded...

Is Ellice here? -What?

Is Ellice here?

No. And her husband has an even more disgusting hairstyle,

which he sticks to his bald head,

and he puts out his Marlboro cigarette

in the most appetizing feta salad I've ever seen in my life

and I'm so hungry on stage,

I want to dive into their feta salad and eat it along with the cigarette butts.

Hello.

Hello. -Hello.

They must be eating again.

You don't have to hide your stinking yogurts in a bag,

no one will steal them from you, cheap bastard.

Wait, do you have any complaints? -Yes, I have complaints.

I share my last piece of bread with everyone.

No one has to follow your communist ideas!

Shh... -Don's shush me!

Who do you think you are?

Someone else would have thrown you out on the street a long time ago.

Or send you back to your cold witch of a mother!

Go ahead, eat! You can choke on it as far as I'm concerned!

Oh, thank you!

Why so generous all of a sudden?

What is this animal doing here anyway?

I found him. Isn't he cute?

He's disgusting!

He looks like a donkey's cub.

At least he doesn't look like you.

Why are you laughing? You know I'm allergic to cats, right?

Why aren't you saying anything?

First they put this poor girl in here

and then she brings all these disgusting animals that eat all our food.

She can live in a zoo if she has nowhere to live! I'm tired of her and her bullshit.

What's the big deal? She doesn't bother anyone. Besides, the cat is really nice.

Listen, I don't want people walking between my legs...

Daniel, calm down. -I'm sick of it!

So where is she? -Don't tell me to calm down, don't tell me to calm down!

Who? -Ellice.

So you'll have hairy legs.

I know one thing... -...especially when it's in the breasts. -Hello!

But I tell him one thing: silicone is a very unhealthy thing.

It's a... It's a real cancerous tumor!

Do you know what a cancerous tumor is?

What are these bastards...? -How do I look...

I'll tell you this,

this flight attendant died from it...

Hair on the legs and a puncture in the breasts. -Listen...

I'll tell you the truth, this flight attendant passed away and it's a shame!

Nice pictures, Argalit.

When I see such things I'm shocked.

Do something, fix her up a bit, bless your heart.

Come on, where do you think you are? Wow! I can't believe it!

Wow, Eli! How's it been? How are you?

To be honest with you... -Where's Itzik?

Gone. -Where?

Where?

I don't know. What do you want from me?

You son of a bitch.

Do you know what silicone is? It's as if I'll take the ashtray,

a plastic thing, an artificial thing,

and I'll put it inside my chest. -It's just nonsense, what you're saying.

I'm telling you the truth. Me, if I won't feel the nipple I'll just die.

I don't know what I'll do. I can't orgasm, nothing.

It's just some silicone. -It's an implant!

I can fry eggs in it, baby.

What's with this bald head? Good god! Who did this to you? What's the matter with you?

I did it to her. -Oh, you did? Was it you?

Wow, it's the bomb! -Pretty, right? -Fantastic!

There is some singer, what's her name... Jones something.

Oh, Grace Jones! Grace Jones! Her last film, exactly the same.

Same haircut! I swear.

What's with you, Rami? Come on.

Good god...

Eli...

Oh, what's the matter with you? You're out of your mind, come on...

Eli! -Let me have a puff.

Oh, look at yourself.

Eli! -You're out of your mind, I swear. -What is it?

Come over here.

You can't smoke, why are you smoking?

You've put half a kilo in it?

You shouldn't be smoking. It's good stuff, what's the matter with you?

Isn't it good stuff? I know it is, I know it. -Let me read it.

He, every week... -What's this? What's this?

It's... Give it. -Edgar Allen Poe.

Wait, show me. I want to see. Come on, I want to see. No, it's not right.

Just a minute sweetie.

Here, love. -Wait, let me read. -Wait, let me see.

Well?! -Just a minute! -Background music.

I've loved you all

but the world was cruel to me.

Itzik, remember me as I was.

I will always love you.

Wow! Who wrote it? -Eli...

Eli!

Eli!

What's the matter with her?

Where did you bring this psycho from? I don't understand you.

Keep bringing in new people.

Margalit...

Look, this moron kills himself twice a month using Aspirin.

Tomorrow morning he'll wake up and apologize to everyone.

But what if he won't?

Then he won't.

Look, it's always sad when someone dies,

but you'll die eventually as well.

I decided that if I didn't achieve what I wanted by the age of 23

then I would kill myself too.

But I'll do it by jumping.

Just fly off.

You must try and drink.

I beg you not to do this again. Okay?

But maybe if he sticks a finger down his throat then he'll vomit everything and that's it.

I don't understand why you're getting so worked up because of him,

as if your entire life people have killed themselves next to you.

Not for life, but once my mother committed suicide. That's enough for me.

So? Is that why you left home?

Yes. I'm not going to end my life like she did.

Would you like to see a picture of her? -Yes.

Oh, she's beautiful.

She looks just like a movie star.

Yes, she was really beautiful.

But this whole thing with my dad destroyed her. She would probably have become something big.

That's it, she was just fed up. She worked on the farm all day, from dusk to dawn.

She just had the courage to free herself from all this disgust.

How did she die?

She slit her wrists.

I'm not afraid of being alone.

It became... some kind of disease.

Not exactly a disease, because it's also a bit pleasant.

And in the end it's impossible to stop.

Everyone here had it, in a way.

What? I have the right to live here as well, I'm paying too.

Yuval, I'm paying for this apartment, you know it damn well.

Yuval, I don't want people from the streets coming here any more.

Yuval! I want everything around here to be completely different.

What? The people bother you? Does Maggie bother you?

Of course Maggie doesn't, it's not about Maggie.

It's people who were here before Maggie and the people who'd come after her. I know you.

So I'd like for the situation around here to be completely different now.

That's right, and that's why I want Daniel out. I can't take it anymore.

Look, Yuval, it's not Daniel.

This whole thing with Daniel didn't have to happen if...

things between us would've looked a bit different.

But you keep playing with my emotions.

What? How is it my fault? What, the fact that I...

That I don't want to fuck you? I don't want to fuck you.

Yuval, it's not about fucking, I've told you that already.

I've had it. I'm leaving by the end of the month

and you can find someone else to use, you and your friends.

Goodbye.

In the end he got really angry and said something like:

I'm sick of it. I'm leaving in the end of the month, find a new place.

Bam! Closed the door and left.

I don't understand any of it.

What's there to understand?

Yuval can smell people like Itzik from a distance.

He knows he can mooch off of them.

They think they'll get something out of it, but it always ends somehow.

They end up being idiots and he moves on to his next stop.

Now Itzik had probably begun realizing it, so he was fed up.

But what about Daniel? That's what I don't understand. I mean...

Itzik loves Daniel, doesn't he? They're together.

I don't know. What's for sure, a lot of it is only meant to make Yuval jealous.

But don't tell Daniel,

so he won't kill himself for real. -Margalit!

Eli! Come on, come on! We have a ride.

Come on, come on. We have a ride. Margalit!

This whole time I was thinking about what would happen

if my dad will drive by and see us.

If he really would've wanted, he could've found me.

Why isn't he looking for me?

Don't move!

Go search the... -So, what? You live here?

Good. Take out your ID. -But I told you I don't have...

I told you to take out you ID! -Look at that, he's wearing makeup as well, eh?

What, are you queer? -Stand still! -Look at all the metal on him...

Who are you?

Who is she? -That's Margalit.

She's my sister. Don't mind her, she's retarded.

All right, go on, take everything out of your pockets.

Come on, come on, come on, come on! -Well, go on! Go on, take it out.

Check this out, he's wearing nail polish as well.

What's that? -What are you doing with nail polish on? You fairy!

This cockroach wears nail polish. -I wear nail polish and break into homes.

Don't talk to us like that, we're not your queer friends. Do you understand me?

See what you've done?

She's having an attack because of you. Why are you picking on us?

There, Margalit. There, there... Can't you see she's ill?

Now, calm down, calm down.

Enough, Margalit. Enough, enough, Margalit!

Enough, calm down, enough.

Enough, what did they do to you? Enough. Shh...

Look at the one standing with his back to us.

That...

Dazzle him, dazzle him. Go, go, go.

Terrible... Don't you think?

Here's Itzik.

Hi.

Hi.

Shh!

Yuval? There's this fat...

Ellice!

Hi!

I'm so happy you came.

My parents came...

Hello, children. I've brought food. Miao!

Eat. -I don't want to. -Why not?

Enough! -But come eat.

Stop it. -I feel so sorry for you, so skinny,

all you need is a diet! -I don't want to, leave me alone. I don't want to.

Srulik, your daughter wants to talk to you and you don't say anything?

I don't have... I have not energy left.

Come on! Eat it.

All right, come on. Bring it to me.

You're such a nag! -How are you speaking to me?

She's a lost cause this one.

We're closing, I'm asking everyone to leave. Good night.

I can't wait for it to happen to you.

Yes, I know you're dying for it to happen to me.

Ever since I came here you've been trying to ruin it for me.

But I'll have you know that I don't believe one stinking word of yours, you liar!

Don't call me a liar. You ungrateful man.

I taught you everything you know... -Yeah right. -I've introduced you to Itzik,

and one day you'll thank me for everything I've told you, you dumbass.

You son of a bitch.

By the end of the month I want you out of the house, with or without Itzik. Is that clear?

Daniel, enough.

Enough.

Let go of me!

What happened? -What, I just wanted to tell him the truth, so that he wouldn't deceive himself.

Because Itzik told me that the whole story between them is just a joke. and besides...

that he's actually into me. But that's exactly what he told me.

So he said that, that doesn't mean he meant it. -You don't say!

How do you know what he said and what he didn't say? -She heard you talking.

Oh, so she must know I'm not lying.

What did you hear? Is that what he said?

That he's into Yuval? Come on, say it! Tell me!

Is that what Itzik told him, that his whole story with me is a joke?

Open your mouth, come on! -Tje tears won't help.

Tell me, come on!

It wasn't exactly like that...

I was just trying to help, that's all.

Yes, yes. Of course you were, sure.

I know you're dying for me to get out of the apartment.

But I don't give a fuck.

I don't need you, I don't need Itzik.

As far as I'm concerned, living on the streets is better than living with people like you.

Wait, wait! -Let go of me.

You aren't going to break all of my glasses and then just go home.

Just let me go find him, come on. Just for a minute!

You aren't leaving until you pay for all the...

Why would I pay? -I don't give a damn.

You're all here together and you don't leave until you pay.

But we have no money. -Just give us a minute to... -Margalit, stop. Don't be a baby.

We'll find him in a minute. He probably just went home.

Avi, Avi, listen, come over here. I have an offer.

Come on, Eli! Say something, come on. -Calm down, we'll be home in five minutes.

No, you don't understand! He'll harm himself.

You don't know him. -He won't do anything! He does this every week.

Let go of her.

It's going to be fine, don't worry.

It won't be fine! We must get there! -Don't worry about him. -Come on, let's go.

What, is that it? -Yes, I told them I'd work next week,

I'd dance two nights for free, so they let it go.

Good, come on. -Let's go, see you on Tuesday.

All we have left to do is to celebrate on the house,

and they should do a better job watching over their bar next time. -Good job with the Vodka.

Here, Maggie. Drink some.

Kalinka, kalinka, kalinka maya!

Tell him to go in, tell him. Why are you laughing? -What's the matter with you?

Here, I saved some for you.

Thank you.

They can't shut their mouth even for once.

I've decided. -What?

I'm leaving tomorrow. That's it, I've had enough.

But you can't.

You bet I can, just wait and see.

Why not?

Maybe you'll join me? We'll find a place with nicer people.

There's no such thing as nice people. There's people who need you.

Can I see that picture?

Of my mom? -Yes.

She really was very beautiful.

Yes, but it's not my mom.

It's just a picture I've found.

I wish my mom looked like this.

Oh, so she's alive?

She killed herself.

She was crazy for many years.

Really crazy.

Drugs and medicine and institutions...

I found her in the barn, after we searched for her all day in all the fields.

My dad told me to go feed the animals.

I refused.

Because I wanted to find her.

Maybe if I had come back sooner...

My father never forgave me for that, because she took pills.

Maggie! Where's Maggie?

Have you seen Maggie? Maggie! Maggie!

Come, come, come, come, come here. Come.

Come on! I have to show you something, come.

Hello. -Hello!

My love. You look so pretty with that shaved head! Come to aunty Sonia.

Hello, Daniel.

Do you want to kill yourself, baby? Come on, I've got loads of pills for you.

No. No, no, no...

Pills...

Take them out, take them out. -I don't want to! I want the pills.

Ouch!

What happened?

Never mind, it's nothing.

You're bleeding.

Do we have any bandage around the house?

Wow, it's so pretty. Right, Maggie?

I wonder if anyone will think it's real blood.

Look at the...

Wow, it's amazing. -Ouch. That's it, enough. Enough.

Just a minute. Let me finish one more over here.

Oh, we need to stop it, it's really pouring.

Honey...

Will you take me to Tel Baruch beach?

Everything has it's price.

Where are you going? -We're going to the whores' beach, do you want to come?

Wait, where's Daniel? He should come too.

Daniel! Do you want to come for a walk at the whores' beach?

A walk? Sure.

My name is Maggie and I'm a whore

I'm getting screwed from door to door...

So funny.

What a darling, really. I adore him.

Sweetie... So funny.

What's going on?

I don't feel so good.

What's that? -What are you doing?

What's going on?

Get out of the car. Get out of the car! -Honey, what's the matter with you?

Get out of the car! Get out of the car!

Get out of the car! -What's the matter with you?

Get out of the car. Get out of the car!

Wait... You too. Get out of the car as well.

You said you'd take me to Tel Baruch. What's wrong with you?

Get out of my cab! Get out of my cab! -What's wrong with you?

I don't want you as a client, get out of the cab!

But what's the matter with you? What's the matter with you?

I don't want you or your friends. -You're not doing this to me.

What's the matter with you? Come here.

Come here! I said come here! You piece of shit!

Come here! I'll show you, you fucking piece of shit! Come here!

I'll show you! Come here!

I'll show you! -Enough, enough, stop it.

Don't tell me to stop! Don't tell me, you fucking...

Why are you fighting with him? What for?

What do you want from him? What... -Don't you look at me!

Don't look! I'll show you, you piece of shit!

Daniel, get up, get up. -Stop...

Stop it, get up. -I can't move.

Oh man...

His weekly suicide has arrived. -Come on. Really, what are we going to do?

There's nothing to do, we'll wait for the morning.

Daniel...

Daniel.

There was no point in staying,

everything was falling apart anyway.

People die all the time. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes by accident.

Daniel died by mistake.

I can't understand that.

Eli once told me that after it's all over,

he's going to miss all the dirty sheets and the pretzels on the walls and all that.

I will miss Daniel.
