All language subtitles for The Little Traitor (2007)

Curfew, curfew!

Curfew.
Hold there!

Everyone off the
street by 18:00 hours!

Curfew!

Anyone caught outside
will be arrested!

Everyone off the
street by 18:00 hours!

Stop!

Hold there!

- Stop, you!
- This way!

This way!

Stop!

You will come with me!

You cannot come this
close to the curfew, Proffy.

You could've been arrested.

I'm sorry, Aba.

We have enough
things to worry about.

I won't be late again.

That is correct, you
will not be late again.

Proffy,
we were worried.

Thank god you are all right!

Get into your room
and stay there until dinner.

Kill the British!

What are
you doing in there?

Nothing, Ima, just
reading my book!

What book?

From school.

Stop your war,
dinner is on the table!

I'm coming.

We will not have a state
without the help of the world.

Why does everyone
hate us Jews so much?

Because we know a lot.

Then maybe we
shouldn't know so much.

The reasons
for the hatred may change,

but the hatred goes on forever.
What should we do?

We should be different.

We cannot hate.

How can we
not hate the British?

They're terrible.

We've known people
much more terrible.

Well, I haven't.

I haven't known anyone
worse than the British.

Most important thing
for us is not being weak.

Weakness is a sin.

So is waste,
eat your dinner.

Are we still weak?

Don't speak
with your mouth full.

I wish I were old
enough to join the Irgun.

Don't talk like that.

Who comes to our house
in the middle of the night?

No one.

No one?

I hear things.

People talking and
furniture moving around.

No one, I said.

May I go now?

Please take some things
to Mr. Lazarus on the roof.

Ludmilla, what
a good hen you were today.

You gave me three fine eggs.

You make all the time noise,
Olga, and no eggs, hah!

Hello, Mr. Lazarus.
Oh!

Proffy, you frighten us!

I'm sorry, Mr. Lazarus.

Here, my mother sent you this.

Ah, thanks.
The vest need a new button.

And this.

Ah, your mother
is a good woman.

All right, everyone, gute nacht.

Ah, you are going to keep
an eye on the British.

All right, Tony, at the next intersection
you just turn left, please.

All right.

What is it?

Hello, Aba.

I'm working, don't disturb me.

F!

O!

D!

Freedom or death!

Hey, would you look at this?

It's fresh paint.

Two of you up, two of you
down, you come with me.

And for your crimes against
the Jews of Palestine,

you will be hanged.

Where are you going now?

With my friends.

Always with the friends.

There's nothing
for me to do here.

You have too much time
during your summer holiday.

Shalom, Ima.

Proffy, remember,
too close to curfew

and your father will
not let you out again.

Yes, Ima.

F!

O!

D!

Freedom or death!

F!

O!

D!

Freedom or death!

Ah, not so fast, my lad!

Your fate's in my hands, now.

You judge your night's
after curfew,

and you've broken the law.

I've not!
Oh.

What're you doing outside late?

Eh?

It's after curfew.

Where were you going?

Where have you come from?

I was out searching
for medicine,

Oh yeah?
for a sick man.

What sick man,
what's his name?

David.

Yeah, David, who's this David?

What's he want the medicine for?

David, my father.

Yeah, what's wrong with him?

He has malaria.

What, your dad's got malaria?

You should definitely
be arrested.

I'm not afraid
of your prisons.

Oh, no?

What about the gallows
or the scaffold?

I don't know what those are,

but I'm not afraid
of them either.

Well, we'll find
out, won't we lad?

Come with me, you're
under arrest.

Keep moving.

Step it up, step it up, come on.

Where do you live?

That way.

Well, we better
turn around, come on.

Turn around?

Yeah, back to your house.

We're going to my house?

Well I can't arrest you
without telling your parents.

March.

Come on, come on.

Oh.

Name's Steven Dunlop
from Canterbury.

Where's that?

It's about 95 kilometres
outside London.

And your name, young lad?

Proffy Leibowitz, I am
a Jew from.

Yeah, I'm sure you are.

In the Second Book of the
Prophet Samuel it is written,

"And the lad was only a lad. ".

You know our book of Samuel?

Of course.

My father was a lay minister.

You have the same Book
of Samuel that we do?

Belongs to both
of us.

So, what sort of name is Proffy?

Short for Professor.

They call me that because
they think I'm smart.

And are you?

Not today.

Is this your house?

Yes.

Maybe you can take me
straight to prison?

I see.

Perhaps greater punishment
awaits you in there.

Well, in ya go, lad.

You're not arresting me?

No, not this time, but I
will definitely next time

if you haven't
learned your lesson.

I have, sir.

Well, what are
you waiting for?

Thank you.

No, no thanks.

You know the Oriental Palace?

I'm, uh, I'm there most
afternoons, in the cafe.

Well, in ya go, lad.

I'm Sorry I'm-

So am I!

Do you know what
happened in Haifa?

A boy your age was
out after curfew.

The British caught
him and whipped him.

His parents found him
in some Arab hospital.

You are not to leave your
room until the end of the week,

except to go to the bathroom.

What?

You'll have
supper by yourself,

so you'll have plenty
of free time to reflect

on what happened and
what might have happened!

Your allowance is
frozen until September.

Now go into your room.

Don't step on my army.

How many more days do I have?

Three.

Three more days?

I will die in this room!

What is the world like outside?

Tell me how it sounds
like to hear birds sing,

to see flowers and
trees and hills.

You'll see them
all soon enough.

I brought you a
delicious breakfast.

I thought we came to
Eretz Yisrael to be free?

I'm not free!

You have to
abide by certain rules.

You cannot run around like
a chicken without a head.

Proffy?

We love you.

Please, come in, come in.

Thank you so much

for letting us sleep
in your home.

It's the least we
can do after your journey.

You must be hungry, sit.

Where did you leave?

How many
people were in the boat?

50, but
two of them didn't make it,

from the Irgun.

If you're caught,
the British will send you back.

Who's here?

Who's here?
What's that noise?

What's that noise?

What's that noise?
What's going on here?

What's going on here?

What's going on here?
This is my house, too!

This is my house, too!

Proffy!

It is very important
that you keep quiet now.

It is very important that
you keep quiet now. Be quiet!

Be quiet!

I wish he would have
taken me to prison.

It's time.

Finally.

Finally.
Let me out of here already!

Let me out
of here already!

Mmm, you're out of your coop.

You want something to eat?

I'm not hungry, Ima, I
just want to go outside.

I hope now there will be
no further problems, Proffy.

That you've learned your lesson.

I have, completely,

Do I have permission to go now?

Go.

Hey mate,
can I get a light?

Sergeant
Dunlop from Canterbury?

It's me, Proffy.

Of course, of course.

Now, why did you take
so long to visit me?

I was under house arrest.

How's your father's malaria?

Better.

Better.
Good.

Good.

Well, why don't you
take a seat, young man?

You're reading our
Book of Samuel?

Yes, I am.

Are you a Hebrew scholar?

Not really.

Mmm, I'm trying
to learn Hebrew.

Well, it doesn't make much
sense being in this country

so long without learning
the language.

Have you studied Samuel?

We have
to, in school.

And?

I prefer comic books.

Mmm, indubitably.

Well, here's a question
for you, in Samuel 2-

Why do you like
reading Samuel so much?

It's so boring.

Boring?

Young man, this is the
beginning of the kingships.

If you can understand the words,

then you can understand
the concepts.

For example, look here,
Chapter 3, Verse 1,

"Now there was a
long war between

the house of Saul and
the house of David,

and the house of David
waxed stronger and stronger,

and the house of Saul
waxed weaker and weaker. ".

Okay, so?

So, so where's the
word for weaker?

Here, dallim.

Dallim, well, according
to my trusty dictionary,

dallim can also mean-

Poor.

Exactly.

So to be poor means
also to be weak?

Well, according
to your language.

I don't like it.

We're kind of poor,
but we're not weak.

Yes, I can see that.

Are you a Sabra?

Yes.

Actually, my mother says I
was a growing egg in Poland,

but I hatched here.

She makes a lot of
chicken references.

Does she now?

So you're actually Polish?

Not to me, just my parents.

Were you born British?

Mhm, through and through.

Well, look, I'm delighted
you came to visit me,

but I'm afraid I have to leave.

I've got a report to write.

Really, what kind of report?

Oh, I'm afraid that's
secret business.

Will you come and
visit me again?

I don't know, maybe not.

When should I come?

Tomorrow, same time.

Okay,
I'll visit tomorrow.

Good day, Proffy.

Good day.

Problem with
the British blockade?

We came from Europe.

We left from Greece,
at four in the morning.

We'll meet
them and bring them

to hiding places here.

I brought you
some blankets and pillows.

Thank you.

20 of us will be
there to meet the boat.

We have been planning
this for days.

We will only sleep
here for a few hours.

Sleep on this
thought: No one in the world

will ever dare to murder
or humiliate Jews again.

All right,
young man, it's your turn.

Okay, put your hand here
like that, that's it.

Fingers spread out, make sure
that's nice and strong there.

Bow down, that's it.

Keep it in line.

Keep it in line.
Okay, go.

Okay, go.
Very good.

Very good.

Who's that?

Oh, just a
young friend of mine.

Hasn't got any bombs
on him, has he?

Hardly.

All right, see the green ball?

Think you can get that?

Oooo, nearly!

Good try.

I don't seem to be
very good at that game.

What's the name for it?

Snooker.

Snooker, what a crazy word.

What's the other word you say?

Indu-

Oh, indubitably.

Exactly.

Exactly.
Yeah, I suppose those words are a bit daft.

Yeah, I suppose
those words are a bit daft.

Daft?

Crazy.

Mishegas.

Mishegas?

Daft.

Daft.
Yes, snooker is indubitably both daft

Yes, snooker
is indubitably both daft

and mishegas.

So, what are you good at?

I'm good at school.

I'm good at thinking, figuring
things out, war strategy.

War strategy?

So you wanna be a soldier?

I'd like to be the general.

Well, there's no
reason why you can't be

the general one day.

Any of your family
in the services?

No one.

I have no family except for
my mother and my father.

They were all killed
by the Nazis.

I'm sorry.

My father
doesn't talk about it,

but my mother told
me everything.

They had grandparents
and uncles and aunts.

My father had a younger brother

that tried to escape with us,

but he got caught and killed.

Sometimes I think my father
wants to keep his life sad

to make up for what
happened to his brother.

Do you have a big family?

Um, not really.

Got a sister in Manchester,

and my mom still
lives in Canterbury,

some cousins in Southampton.

Listen, um, would
you like to help me

with a couple of questions
from the Second Book of Samuel?

Sure, lama lo?

Beseder.

So, what do you think?

It's a lot of fun.

Oh, my bishop!

Thesaurus.

The-thur-us.

Septuagenarian.

Thepta-generian.

Occidental.

Occidental.

Good.

Flatulence.

Latulence.

Heesh-tak-foot.

Hafak bach.

Ooklucia.

So then, after we
kicked out the Turks,

ended the Great War...

At ease, sergeant.

Have you ever heard of
the League of Nations?

No.

Well, they voted to,
uh, they voted and said

we should look after
this part of the world,

and that's why we're here.

Ohhhh.

Hello.

Shalom.

They were in Cypress for a
while, originally from Hungary.

This is my husband,
my son Proffy.

Their son,
and their daughter-

Rachel.

Go, go children, go dance.

Go.

Who died?

Shhh, someone
from the Haganah,

gunned down by the British.

HaKshivu, attention.

Stay in your houses!

We will be conducting
random searches.

HaKshivu, attention.

Who is it?

Open up!

What is going on?

Why are they here?

We've been ordered
to search your house.

At least they are
not speaking German.

May I help you?

Step aside, please.

All right, come in.

Good morning to you.

I'm afraid I must ask you
to stay right where you are.

Would you like a cup of tea?

No, thank
you, I'm on duty.

What do you do with
all these books?

I'm a proofreader
and a scholar.

Are you hiding
any radio equipment?

No.

Peter, look.

What's this?

My toys.

You're not mocking
us, are you?

Mocking?

Is this what you would
like to do to us?

Did you send them?

What are you talking about?

Did you get someone to
send soldiers to our house?

No, of course not.

Soldiers came and
searched everywhere.

Well, two of our men were
captured and killed by the Lehi.

There's been a crackdown.

They've been searching
houses, looking for weapons.

Why are you here?

Why are you occupying
our country?

All right, shhh.

Why can't all of
you just leave?

Yeah, well, well you could
be occupied by countries

a lot more cruel than us.

Why are you keeping Jews from
coming into their homeland?

What's his problem?

Right, Jews.

Do you think I, myself am
making the decisions here?

But can't you say, "I don't
believe in what's going on. "?

You know, Proffy,
we might actually

be keeping the peace here.

That's not true!

I shouldn't stop to talk to you!

I shouldn't visit
you, you're evil!

F!

O!

D!

Freedom or death!

Oh, look who's here.

I missed you.

Are you going to kill someone?

Oh, I pray to the good
Lord I never have to.

So tell me, how've you been?

, how about you?

Forgiven me?

Mmhm.
Wonderful.

Wonderful.

Oh, guess what I was
reading last night?

What?

My Monodies.

Oh.

Oh. And my
Monodies says-

Sergeant Dunlop,
do you have a wife?

No wife.

I've got a girlfriend.

Her name's Priscilla,

but I don't know if she's
still my girlfriend,

me being away all this time.

What does she look like?

She resembles Kathryn
Grayson, the movie star.

Do you know who that is?

No, but I know who
Humphrey Bogart is.

Well, she doesn't look
anything like Humphrey Bogart.

How does
she look like?

Well, she's got dark
hair, brown eyes.

Is she big, skinny, round?

She's quite small, very trim.

You got a girlfriend?

Not exactly.

Do you
think you'd like one?

I think so.

It's like visiting a
country I've never been to.

Ah, but you're interested in
travelling, right?

Yeah, I remember, I
must have been about 11

when I got interested in
that kind of travelling.

Is she a girl in your class?

No, someone in
my neighbourhood.

Does she
know you like her?

No.

Are you gonna tell her?

No.

Why not?

Because she's too beautiful.

Oooo!

Oh, young man, that's very good.

Yes, that'll go down
very well, mark my words.

You tell her that.

Tell her that she's too
beautiful.

Sergeant Dunlop, I saw
through the window, naked.

What?

No, you can't go around looking
through people's windows.

What'd you see?

She was rubbing cream
all over herself,

and she has very big shadayim.

Sha-dime?

Hands?

No, that's yadayim.

Shadayim.

Shadayim.
Bristols.

Bristols.

You got close enough
to see her bristols?

I was on the roof, looking
through my binoculars.

Oh, Proffy, you don't
wanna be a peeping Tom.

Who's peeping Tom?

Dunlop!

Yeah?

You're assigned
curfew at 17:00 hours.

Right-o.

If we're ever
late for curfew again,

my father himself will
send me to prison.

Well, come
on, I'll take you home.

Fancy a ride in the Jeep?

Mmm.

Mmm.
What do ya say?

What do ya say?

Indubitably.

All right?

Oh my God!

Oh my God! Oh my God, it's Tuesday!
What?

Oh my God, it's Tuesday!
What?

Don't
go on this road!

Why?

Go on the other
road to the city!

Wh-wh-what
are you talking about?

An old truck tipped
over, nails all over!

I saw it earlier today,
your tires will punctuate!

No, no, puncture.

Whatever, go on
the other road!

All right.

Stop right here.

Why again?

Where's Aba?

Aba's in the toilet.

He's been there for 20 minutes.

God was looking after you.

There, take off your shoes.

We'll put out your toys.

Make it look like you've
been here for a while.

Where were you?

With my friends.

They were here,
looking for you.

A liar's life will
never be a happy one.

F!

Kill the British!

Good day, Proffy.
Hello.

Oh, good day to you
too, Mr. Leibowitz.

I brought you some materials
of the Book of Samuel.

You know, as much as I'd love

to study the Book
of Samuel today,

what do you say to
a game of snooker?

Metzuyan.

Metzuyan, let's go.

Spoke with my girlfriend
Priscilla last night.

You did?

Indeed, I did.

What about your girlfriend?

Nothing new.

Nothing new.
Anyway, we spoke to each other on the phone.

Anyway, we spoke
to each other on the phone.

Do you know that's the
first time we've heard

each other's voices
in six months?

It's been all
letters, postcards.

Your turn.

What did you talk
about, may I ask?

The usual things men
and women talk about.

What kind of things,
I'd like to know?

Well, I was thinking about
when I get shipped out of here.

When I return home, might
pluck up the courage

to ask her to marry me.

Been a bachelor bloke too long.

Do you know when?

What, when I'm going to ask
her to marry me?

When you're gonna leave.

Not really.

Rumour has it, it
will be quite soon.

You fancy a soda?

Okay.

It's all yours.

I'll have beer for me,
and a soda for the lad.

Coming up.

So, when do you think
you're gonna leave?

Well, I thought
you wanted us out

of your bloomin' country.

I do, the sooner the better.

Yeah, well, don't wish us
out of here too soon, my lad.

It's not gonna be
an easy road ahead.

It wasn't such a
easy road behind.

That's very true.

Here you go.

Do you wanna know
my prediction?

Lama lo, okay.

I believe at the end
of the British Mandate

there's gonna be a Hebrew state.

That's what we want.

But there's
gonna be a lot of trouble.

This time between the
Arabs and the Jews.

Troubles?

What kind of troubles?

Well, the Arabs will
be the weaker people.

They'll become just like
the Jews, it's in the Bible.

The prophets predict it.

You want to
hear my prediction?

Lama lo?

Everything will be
better when all of you leave.

Except you.

I'd better get home.

I almost forgot.

I have this notebook for you,

and the Book of Samuel.

It's from my fifth grade class.

Yeah, that's about
the level I'm on.

I'll return these
to you presently.

No, it's
yours to keep.

Thank you very much.

That's a wonderful gift.

I'll see you soon.

What is it?

What is it?
We are here to talk about your son.

We are here
to talk about your son.

What's the problem?

Proffy Leibowitz is a traitor.

He betrayed the Jewish people!

It seems Proffy
has been passing secrets

to the British.

What are you talking about?

Almost every day, he
goes to the Orient House

to talk to a British soldier.

He spends about an hour
there, and then comes home.

We followed him many times.

Is it true?

It's not what it seems.

I think your
son should be interrogated.

Huh.

I'm his father, I'll
take care of it.

This is unbelievable.

Has your son
put us in any danger?

No, I don't think so.

But it
would be better

if you sleep somewhere else.

She's right, the
house is probably being watched.

The other's
will be alerted.

We will not sleep in
this house for a while.

We're very sorry.

Is anyone there?

No, it
seems to be quiet.

I'm certain they'll be
watching the house.

Maybe we shouldn't be
involved with them anymore.

We have to do our part.

But it's putting us
at risk, and Proffy too.

We're not
masterminding anything.

We're just providing a
place for them to sleep.

Is he an unhappy boy?

I don't know.

If only you'd paid
more attention to him.

Oh, I see, so
this is my fault.

I didn't say that.

You said, "If only I
played with him more. ".

It's not a matter of playing,

I'm talking about
listening to him.

Okay, if only I
listened to him more,

he wouldn't be fascinated
by a British soldier.

Is that what you're saying?

No.

Well,
what is it then?

They followed me!

They found out about
my visits here.

Who?

Ben Hur and Chita,

and my friends won't
talk to me anymore,

and my parents are
ashamed of me.

They're calling me a traitor

and I'm going to
be interrogated.

I'll go and talk to them.

No, it won't
make things better.

I want to help you.

I can handle it myself.

If I went and spoke to your
friends and your family-

It wouldn't
be good for you,

for your position
with your army.

You,
you really are...

I wish Priscilla could meet you.

And your mom in Manchester?

Yeah.

Maybe one day.

Maybe.

Maybe one day, there'll be
a Jewish Mandate on Britain.

I think I won't be able
to come here for a while.

Course.

Yeah, you should stay away.

That'd be best.

Shalom, Sergeant Dunlop.

It has come to our attention
that you have a relationship

with a certain Sergeant
Steven Dunlop.

That you have visited
him at the Orient Palace

at least a dozen times,
is that correct?

Yes.

What is the nature

of your relationship
to this man?

We're friends.

Friends?

I see.

You have friends your own age?

I used to.

How did you
meet this Sergeant Dunlop?

I was out after
curfew, and he caught me,

and was going to arrest me.

And did he arrest you?

No.

Why was that?

Maybe he
thought I was too young?

They've arrested
many boys your age.

Some of them are even beaten.

Did you offer him anything?

Did you say anything that made
him decide not to arrest you?

I told him I wasn't
afraid if he arrested me.

And
how did he respond?

He said he'd
let me go this time,

but next time, if I'll
be out after curfew,

he'd have to arrest me.

So, why
then did you start visiting?

He was very
interesting to talk to.

What would you talk about?

I don't
know, things, girls.

He likes to talk about the
Hebrew language and Bible.

His father is a minister.

Did he ask
you if you knew anything

about any Underground activity?

No.

Did he ask you if you knew
anybody in the Underground?

Never.

Did you
have any political discussions

with him?

You mean like Ben-Gurian
or something like that?

Yes.

Yes.
I don't remember.

Look, he knows I
hate the British.

I hate their occupation.

So, you did have

a political discussion with him.

Yes, but no.

Did Sergeant Dunlop ask you
the names of your friends?

No.

He didn't want
to know about your friends?

He wanted to know about
my friends and my family,

but he never asked their names.

If you're withholding
any information from us,

you can be put into prison,
regardless of your age.

All right, after the
transcripts are reviewed,

we will decide if and when
any punishment or fines

are imposed on Proffy
Leibowitz and his family.

You will be under surveillance
for the next month,

and you're forbidden
to have any contact

with this British soldier.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

This concludes the session.

I believe that you
were telling the truth,

but after what I have
seen,

I trust no human being.

On Montag, we are friends.

On Freitag, they
became our enemies.

The only one you can
trust are the chickens.

Frank.

Well, you old bugger,
they're sending you home.

Ah, do you know I've been
here nearly four years.

Well, I'm
counting the minutes

'til I can get out
of this hellhole.

I think I'm gonna miss it.

Well, I can't
wait to be in a country

where they're pleased to see me.

Listen, you know that
boy that comes to visit me?

The one that comes
here all the time?

Would you tell him that I
received orders to go home

and I wasn't able to
contact him before I left?

Tell him I, I wish him
a, a brilliant life.

Would you do that?

Course, Steve.

Great.

See you next to the Square.

Bye.

Don't
go near Proffy, okay?

Now don't worry, you'll have
a very nice time at school,

I promise.

Don't worry your pretty head.

Stay away from Proffy, okay?

Don't want to get near that.

We have a new
student, Rachel Hochberg,

who came to us from Cyprus.

Did you
see Sergeant Dunlop?

No, sorry.

Did you see Sergeant Dunlop?

No.

Did you see Sergeant Dunlop?

No, I didn't.

Do you know where
Sergeant Dunlop is?

I don't know.

They took him to the barracks.

Pass the ashtray please.

Thank you.

Division
23 formation at 06:00 hours.

You don't have
permission to enter.

I here to see
Sergeant Steven Dunlop.

Got no idea who that is,

and you cannot enter
these premises.

Do you understand
what I'm saying.

I just
want to say goodbye

before he goes back to England.

Listen, kid, don't
know if there's some sort

of language barrier here, but
you are not allowed to enter.

Where were those
soldiers going?

They're taking them
to Haifa, shipping 'em home.

Sergeant Dunlop!

Sergeant Dunlop!

Sergeant Dunlop!

Sergeant Dunlop!

Sergeant Dunlop!

Proffy?

Is everything all right?

Is everything all right?
I'm starved, Ima.

I'm starved, Ima.

Come out, I'll make
you some pudding.

I don't want any.

We have made the decision
to exonerate your son.

Thank you very much.

We've
asked the school

to keep an eye on him.

They're asking you
to do the same.

You should know his
whereabouts at all times.

Yes, of course.

The boy must not be
involved in any controvers-

Nothing.

Whatever our individual
politics may be.

The boy is just a boy.

We have good news
for you, Proffy.

Yes?

They are not pressing
any charges against you.

I never did anything wrong.

Well, that's what
they've decided.

I wish other people
would feel the same way.

Are things better in school?

Nothing is better anywhere.

I hate goulash.

Would you like me to have a
conversation with Mr. Gihon?

Oh my God, no!

That'd make things even worse.

Beside, he hates me as
much of the rest of them.

They don't hate you, Proffy.

They are making
you the scapegoat.

Sometimes children need
someone to gang up against.

They hate me
because of Sergeant Dunlop,

but my enemy was much more a
friend to me than my friends.

Do you think it
will be possible-

What?

I know you will
think I'm a bit daft.

Do you think there's any chance
that we go back to Poland?

We fought so hard to get here.

Why in the world would
you want to go to Poland?

I'm ruined in this country.

Don't be silly,
you are only 11 years old.

In Poland, I could
make a fresh start.

Here, everyone is calling
me a traitor and hates me.

Maybe there, I'd have a chance
to be known as a fine man,

instead of here, a traitor
for the rest of my life.

Proffy, there's no way in
hell we're going back to Poland.

Eat.

Have you mentioned
it to him yet?

Not yet.

Proffy, your mother and
I are going to go away

for a few days.

Why?

Mm, there's a memorial service
for people who were killed

in our time in Poland.

We must go to that.

And we also need to get away.

What about me?

Don't I ever fit into
anything in this family?

I also need to get away!

You have to be in school.

Where is this
memorial service?

In Tel Aviv.

Why can't I go?

It's not for you.

What about
after the memorial service?

We could do something
in Tel Aviv.

Your father and I
need to be alone.

Why do I
always get left home?

It's not fair, it's cruel!

We've asked the neighbour
to look after you.

A young woman who lives
across the way, Yardena.

Do you know her?

She works at the bakery.

You're right, I can
be such a selfish child.

Always thinking about myself,

never thinking about my parents.

Go to your memorial service
and have a wonderful time.

Hello.

Shalom, everyone.

Shalom, Yardena.

Shalom, Proffy.

So, there's
plenty of food in the kitchen

for the next two days.

Make sure you eat all of it,
and Proffy, be a good boy.

Bye, bye Proffy!

So, you're the little
traitor boy, aren't you?

I'm not a traitor.

We'll discuss that later. Come,
let's make ourselves a wild supper.

You want coffee?

Who, me?

Do you see anybody else
at this dinner party?

Sure, I'd like some.

Is it too strong?

No, it's delicious.

So, tell me, were you
passing secrets to the British?

Never.

Well, they put
you on trial, no?

They asked me a few questions.

Proffy, you know
you can tell me anything.

I know how to keep secrets.

Are you in the Underground?

Oh, yes.

I pass secrets in the rugelach

and hide weapons in the
challahs every Shabbat.

So, what was so interesting
about this British man.

I find most of them so boring.

Where's their passion?

Sergeant Dunlop had passion.

Yes?

How do you know?

I talked to him about
a lot of things.

Like what?

Like you.

Me?

You don't know me.

Well, I heard a lot about you,

and Sergeant Dunlop
was interested

to know everything I had to say.

You know, when I close my eyes

and try to think of Sergeant
Dunlop, I can see him clearly,

his pink skin, his short
fingernails, his big eyebrows.

But when I close my eyes
and try to think of Aba,

it's hard for me to see him.

And I don't know all
of Aba's teeth,

because I never saw
them in a smile.

So where is your
British soldier now?

He went back to Britain.

Yes, they're all
going to leave soon.

I just hope we don't regret it
when we're left without them.

The British must go.

It will be good if all
of them will leave.

I mean, I wish he could stay,

but the rest of them
we have to drive out.

We will...

but not tonight.

Look at the time,
it's almost 11.

Tell me, are you
a sound sleeper?

Yes, no, it depends.

Well, tonight you
better sleep soundly.

Why?

If you do happen to wake
up, you can turn your light on

and read until the
morning for all I care,

but don't you dare
leave your room.

Promise?

Promise.

Where's the boy?

Locked in his room.

Your parents will be
home this afternoon.

Are you ready for school?

I don't have to go
to school every day.

Oh really, what kind
of school is that?

I already know
everything they teach at school.

Oh, I did not
realize you were that smart.

I'm not, it's just that
my class is too slow for me.

Maybe you can teach
me something.

Like what?

Like things of life.

Don't you have your
binoculars for that?

Now go to school.

I will be gone by the
time you're back,

and your parents will be home.

When I'll be your
age, you will be 27.

So?

So, I'll be taller
than you by then.

Probably.

Can I tell you something?

Yes.

You know,
I never could tell you

that you are beautiful.

You know why?

Because you're too beautiful,
you're just too beautiful.

Why, thank you, Proffy.

You're welcome.

Rachel Hochberg,
congratulations.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm Proffy Leibowitz.

I know that.

Do you speak Hebrew?

Not yet.

I was wanting to talk to you

ever since you
came to our class.

Really, so why didn't you?

Because you are too beautiful.

You are not just beautiful,
you're too beautiful.

Shalom, parents.

Belgium, yes.

Bolivia, yes.

Proffy?

Wake up, Proffy, don't sleep.

Come with me, son.

Iceland, yes.

Iceland, yes.
Luxembourg, yes.

Luxembourg, yes.

Mexico, abstains.

Oy, why Mexico is abstaining?

What does Mexico have
to abstain about?

How we doing?

So far, so good.

Nicaragua, yes.

Pakistan, no.

Panama, yes.

Saudi Arabia, no.
Surprise, surprise.

South Africa, yes.

Soviet Union, yes.

Soviet Union, yes.
United Kingdom,

United Kingdom,

abstains.

United States, yes.

Yemen...

Shhh! Shhh!
Shhh!

No.

Yugoslavia, abstains.

Uh, wait, I'm counting.

How many, how many?

The resolution
of the ad hoc committee

for Palestine was
adopted by 33 votes,

13 against, 10 abstained.

See what happened?

It will be good, won't it?

The clash between the
Israelis and the Palestinians

is a tragedy.

Neither Israeli Jews
nor Palestinian Arabs

can find a national
homeland anywhere else.

Zionism, for my family,
was not a matter

of making a choice
in a travel agency.

It was their only life choice.

If there is a fire, you
can run for your life

and let those who
cannot run burn,

or you can fill a bucket,
or a glass, or, uh,

even a teaspoon of water,
and pour it on the flame.

The fire is huge, the
teaspoon is very small,

but every man and
woman has a teaspoon.

Each of us, who shares this hope

will wear a tiny
teaspoon on their lapel,

so that we know.

Thank you.

We'd like to thank
Professor Avi Leibowitz

for his wonderful talk.

You're welcome.

Thank you so much.

Very welcome.
Bye bye.

Bye bye.

I came across a passage,

"And the lad Samuel grew
on, and he was in favour

with both the Lord and
all of mankind."

Hello, Proffy.

Look at you.

Shalom, Sergeant Dunlop.

Shalom.

Shalom.
