All language subtitles for the lover 1986

We're closed, mister.
We're closed.

I told you,
we're closed.

Everyone's going home,
come tomorrow.

What are you waiting for?
Take it away from here.

Closed, mister.
Closed now.

Didn't you hear me?
We're closed.

Come back
tomorrow, huh.

Mister,
what are you
waiting for?

ADAM:
What happened?

It's nothing,
just a loose screw
or something.

When is the last time
you drove it?

GABRIEL:
Five years ago.
What?

They tell me
that you have
a spare part.

ADAM:
For a 1950 Morris?

Forty-seven.

What do you think, mister,
I'm running here, a museum?

[CHUCKLES]
Why are you fixing it?
Do you wanna sell it?

I can't,
it's not mine.
Not yours?

No, but it's
a matter of hours.

What's a matter of hours?

Until it is mine.
An inheritance.

Tell you what,
you can push it
over there in the corner,

come back in a week,

we'll have it
ready for you
as good as new.

If not, just leave it here,
we'll dump it.

Help him, Hameed.

A big job?

Overhaul.

Oh.

Hey, Arya,
give us a hand here.

Come on,
over in the corner there.

[STATIC ON TV]

Aren't you
coming to sleep?

I didn't finish yet.

Dafi, go to sleep.

Dafi.
Mmm?

Good night.

Good night,
Daddy.

Good night, Mom.

Good night, Dafi.

Did you put
everything away?

Yeah.
Did you wipe up
the crumbs?

[SIGHS] No.

Have you finished?

Few more to go,
I'll finish
in the morning.

Aren't you teaching
the early class?

Yes, I am.
I'll get up
at 6:00.

Don't you think
you're overdoing it lately,
with all this school work?

What do you mean?

Conferences, staff meetings,
exams, papers.

Nobody sees you
around anymore.

Forget about me,
but what about Dafi?

Does she look to you
like a girl suffering
from lack of motherly love?

No, just like a girl

who would prefer
to see a little bit more
of her mother.

I wouldn't
worry about her
if I were you.

What about your PhD,
did you decide
to give it up?

What's the matter?

I can't go on
being a wife
without a degree?

I thought it's
important to you.

It is important.

And I didn't translate
even one word

from the new material
I received.

What material?

The article in Spanish
about the Jews that worked
for Queen Isabella.

[GRUNTS]

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

[MOANING]

[SIGHS]

You don't have to
if you don't want to.

What makes you think
I don't want to?

I just feel like
you're doing it for me.

[SIGHS]

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[TIRES SCREECHING]
[THUDS]

Good as new, huh?

[SIREN WAILING
IN DISTANCE]

[MEN APPLAUDING]

You did it, Mr. Adam.
A resurrection.

You ought to be
in school, kid.
Not here.

Here's his bill.
Give it to him.

I don't understand.

What's to understand?
£4,000.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize
it would be so expensive.

I don't have
that much.

So, why'd you
bring it here
in the first place?

I thought it was
just a loose screw.

It's not a screw.
It's £4,000.

But I don't
have that much.
So borrow.

There's no one
to borrow from.

Find someone,
relatives,
whoever you want.

I don't have
any relatives.
Friends?

No one,
I haven't
any relatives.

I am willing to sign an IOU,
and the minute I get money...

Give me the keys,
the car is staying
right here for a month.

If you still
can't pay then,
we'll sell it.

You can't do it.

Why not?
The car is
just like new.

It's not his.

Almost mine,
it's a matter
of hours.

The doctors
don't hold out
any hope.

What the hell
is this guy
talking about?

[SIGHS]
You are the one
with the screw loose, buddy.

The car is fine.

My grandmother...

You okay?

It's just hunger.

I haven't eaten
for two days.

I ran out of money.

A real comedian.

I forgot how hot
it is here.

Where have you been?
Argentina.

Mmm-hmm.

Have you
come back for good
or just for a visit?

GABRIEL: Short trip.

I came to pick up
an inheritance.

The Morris?

Is that how much
you're getting?

There is
a house as well,

I mean,
an apartment,
furniture.

But there is
a problem.

What,
with the apartment?

No, with
my grandmother.

What's the problem?
She isn't dead yet.

Mmm?

I mean,
she's been unconscious
for two weeks.

Hardly breathing,
but alive.

She's a fighter.

Maybe she'll
pull out of it.

No, it's just
a matter of hours.

She's gonna die
any minute.

This is our
daughter, Dafi.

Shake hands.

Gabriel.
Nice to meet you.

Gabriel is gonna help Mother
with her Spanish translations.

Oh, you're
the owner
of the Morris.

No, not quite.
It's a matter of hours.

And when did you
finish at the university?

GABRIEL: I didn't finish.
I was out of touch
for a few years.

Uh-huh.

Involved in
something else?

I was
in the hospital.

What for?

A mental hospital.

It was
a long time ago.

Loose screw, huh?
[LAUGHING]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Na'im.

Na'im,
come here.

I need you to
run an errand.

So you don't wanna
go to school, huh?

Of course I do,
it's my father.

He won't let you?

I already have
two brothers in school,

he thinks
that's enough sons
who don't work.

Ah.

Take this,
the key to my house.

Bring me my wallet.

You know
the black...

I forgot it.
On the cabinet,
in the entrance.

Sure, of course.
Do it fast,
it's important.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[SCREAMS]

No!

Excuse me,
Mr. Adam sent me.
I'm from the garage.

Your father, uh,
gave me the key
to pick up his, uh, wallet.

He forgot it.

Don't be scared.

I'm not a burglar.

It's okay.

He asked me
to bring him
his wallet.

Wait a minute.
You want something
to drink?

Drink?
No, thanks.

Yes, please. [STUTTERS]
If you have some water.

[GULPS]

Thanks for the water.

"I brought her
to the river,

"I believed her
to be a virgin,

"but she already
had a husband."

It was the feast
of Santiago,

and it was as
if I was trapped.

The night lights
were dimmed,

and the crickets
were awakened.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

These I've
written already.

I can see
you have done
a lot of work.

And this needs
to be translated.

It was never published
in Israel,

and it's very important
for my PhD.
Mmm-hmm.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Those documents
were found recently.

It's about Jews
that hid their origins

in order to reach
high positions,

and then
they mistreated
other Jews.

I'm talking so much,
I don't let you
read a word.

I enjoy
listening to you.

Isn't it about time
he left?

Are you really planning
to have him work here?

I don't know,
it depends
on your mother.

If it's up to her,
he's got
a full-time job.

[CHUCKLING]

So?
I think he'll do fine.

He already started
translating something.

ADAM: Good.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Mmm-hmm.

Desperation?

No, no.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

Disappointment?
Mmm-hmm.

It's okay?
Mmm, it's okay.

You sure?
I think so.

Disappointment.

No, I don't think
it's good.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Not disappointment.

Why? I think
it's a good word.

[MOANING SOFTLY]

[GASPS]
What time is it?

Quarter to 6:00.

What were you
dreaming about?

Why, did I
say something?
Yeah.

What did I say?

I couldn't
make it out.

What a strange dream
I had.

I was standing
in the class,

and suddenly
the principal came in.

It wasn't Schwartzy.
Someone I don't know.

And he yelled at me.

"Why do you stand naked
in front of the class?"

And I looked at myself,
and I had no clothes on.

I wanted to run,
but there was no door.

So?

That was it.

How is your work
coming along?
Fine.

Is he coming today?
Who?

Yes.

Are you keeping
track of his hours?
No.

At this rate
we are going to
owe him money.

I'll give him back
the car.
Already?

What else
was in your dream?

I don't remember.

Why do you ask?

I think you said
something like,
"Sweetheart, sweetheart."

Wow!
Look at your hair.

You don't like it?
It's great.

We didn't know
whether we should wait to eat,
you didn't leave a note.

What do you think?

It's nice.

[LAUGHS]
Very nice.
Mom, you look incredible.

What's this?

I bought you something
at the beauty parlor.

Oh, thanks,
it's beautiful.

Come eat.
I'm not hungry.

Are you sure?
Have something.

Maybe something.
I'll just take off
my shoes.

Do you really like it?

Mmm-hmm,
it holds my hair.

I mean,
my hairdo.

Yes, it's nice.

It's beautiful.

[CHUCKLES]

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

Uh, no,
he's not here yet.

Goodbye.

It was a phone call.
I said you were not in yet.

Okay, okay.

Come in the water,
Tally?

[ALL GIGGLING]

Oh, Dafi!
[LAUGHING]

No! Dafi!

[LAUGHING]

Dafi!

Dafi,
give it to me.

Dafi.

I'll kill you.
Give it to me.

Dafi!

[CHUCKLES]
Dafi!

It's me.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom?

Mom? Mom?

Mom?

Mom?
[SOBBING]

Mom?

Mom?
ASIA: Dafi.

Mom, what's wrong?
ASIA: Nothing's wrong,
I'm working.

So, open the door.

Just a minute,
I wanna finish something.

[SOBBING]

What's the matter,
Dafi?

I thought something
happened to you.

What could have
happened to me?

I don't know.

How come
you're back
so early?

I'm sick of
going to the beach.

Why don't you
rest for a while?

You haven't stopped
running around
all this summer.

Are you going
to the movies tonight?

Maybe,
I don't know.

Come,
come and rest.

GABRIEL:
What do you think
about this sentence?

Don't be scared.
I'm sure she didn't hear.

[ASIA AND GABRIEL
CHUCKLING]

[DOOR SLAMS]

Why don't you eat?
I bought your
favorite cheese.

No, I think
you understand it
very well.

Yeah.

Nah, it's going
to be very good.

These are for you.

Thank you.

This is Lorca.

Really?
It belonged
to my grandfather.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

Take off your bra.

Okay.

Take it off
yourself.

I just want to know
that you are naked
underneath.

I promise,
I won't do anything.

Your panties, too.

Please.

You promised
not to do anything.

Just a touch.

[MOANS]

[GASPS]

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

[CHUCKLES]

[GRUNTS]

What are you doing?

I've brought him home
his Morris.

Tell him to come
and pick it up.

Mmm?

Give him
this money, too.

I don't want him to think
that we took advantage
of his services.

[HORN HONKING]

Here's
Dafi's father.

Go tell him that
she's getting dressed.

Where is Dafi?

She's getting dressed.
Shall I call her?

ADAM:
No, I'll wait.

Are you
coming with us?
Yes.

Can I wait
in the car?

Sure.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

MAN 1: What's going on?

MAN 2: I don't know.

MAN 3: What is it?

MAN 2: You got your radio?

Switch on the radio.

The sirens,
they're genuine.

MAN 3: No, it's only...
It's a test.

[RADIO BEEPS]

Papa.

Wait a minute,
wait a minute.
Listen.

MAN: [ON RADIO]
This is the Israeli
Broadcasting Service

on radios 1 and 2.

The time is 3:00.

Here is a special
announcement.

Hey, look.

The military spokesman
has announced that
close to 2:00 this afternoon

the Egyptian and Syrian forces

attacked our lines
at the Sinai
and the Golan Heights.

Our forces are fighting back.
Did you hear the radio?

Government barracks,
all of us, right now,
come on.

I'll see you when I see you.
Because of
Syrian aircraft flights...

Okay. Right.
...over the Golan Heights,

sirens are being sounded
across the country.

[DOG BARKING]

They have rising
and falling tones.

Give us a lift there,
come on.
They are genuine.

I repeat, they are genuine.

In an unscheduled
cabinet meeting...

We heard the radio.
...the cabinet decided...

Just stay with the radio.
...that the situation
necessitated

a partial calling up
of all reserve units.

Schlomo!

The minister of transport
has requested that anyone
who does not have to travel...

DAFI: I know
your brother's
in the army,

but what are you
so worried about?

It'll all be over
in a few days.

MAN: [ON RADIO]
Cairo Radio interrupted
its broadcast at 2:10

and announced
that Israeli troops

have attacked Egyptian forces
in the Bay of Suez.

My grandmother's house
doesn't have a bomb shelter.

I can't talk right now.
I'll call back later. Bye.

MAN: [ON RADIO]
...that fighter planes
are involved

and that warships
are approaching
the west coast of the bay.

Cairo Radio announced
that Egyptian troops
returned fire.

Damascus Radio announced
that Israeli troops
embarked simultaneously

on an attack on Syria.

Police headquarters
in Jerusalem

ask all policemen
who have not yet
been called up

to report immediately
in uniform.

Stay tuned to your radio
for further special
announcements.

This is the Israeli
Broadcasting Service
from Jerusalem...

Do you want some?
...on radios 1 and 2.

Why didn't you
ask me?

Dafi!

[PHONE RINGS]

It's nothing,
I'll clean it up.

DAFI: Hello.
Hello.
Yeah, yes.

Eli, they
took you, too?

Ah, civil defense, okay.
And that's it?

I hope the Arabs
don't pull any
surprises tomorrow

and decide
not to show up.

Eh...

What can I
tell you?

Take care of yourself
and, uh, come back home.

Bye.

MAN: [ON RADIO] ...crossed the
northern part of the line

and that Syrian planes
have been called into...

Everyone is
getting called up.

What about you?

MAN: [ON RADIO] ...attacked
Egyptian strongholds
along the Bay of Suez.

WOMAN: [ON TV]
But, as in previous wars,

this war was forced upon us.

We're a very small people,
small in numbers.

There is no comparison
between the numbers
in our army

and the numbers
of any one of the countries...
[AIRCRAFT PASSING BY]

Ours or theirs?
Ours.

And certainly,

no comparison
with the massive...
Come have some tea.

Maybe you're
getting a fever.
...armies of men

of all those that have joined
in this war against us.

Do you want
something to drink?
No.

ASIA: Are you
all right?

Why aren't
you sleeping?

The heat.

What's wrong?

Somebody
may walk in.

Hug me.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Tight.

[GASPS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[GASPING]

[MOANING]

Mmm!

MAN: [ON RADIO]
UN Military Observers
reported this afternoon

that Egyptian forces
crossed the Suez Canal
today at five points...

What happened?
Did they advance?

You really ought to
go down there.

Where?

To the army.
Check out your status.

They could make
a lot of trouble for you

if you want to
leave the country.

Why risk it?

Do you think
they need me there?

Just show up, so they know
you did the right thing.

Sign on a few forms,
and that's all.

They won't send you
to the front.

There's nothing
to worry about.

Maybe in a few days.
Tomorrow.

You'd better go now.

Tomorrow,
this war might be over,
and it will be too late.

You could be
in lots of trouble.

Why don't they
call you up?

You don't worry about me.
I did my share
in the War of Independence.

I lost a kidney.

Get dressed.

You have
enough money?
Yes.

You sure?
Yeah.

If they let you go today,
come straight back here.

If not,
just call up.

Just a minute.
Just a minute,
telephone tokens.

You might need them.

MAN: [ON TV] I'm on
a frontline pickup station
for the wounded.

The fierce battle
that has been raging all night

has yet to be won.

The commander told
how in the Six-Day War

the same unit
participated in the battle
to retain this ground.

Now, like then,
the men are fighting
like lions.

The feeling is that
the enemy will be defeated
within a few hours.

But until then,
the fighting continues

and air force helicopters
with the wounded
are constantly landing.

After being given
initial treatment,

the wounded are transferred
from here to hospitals.
[PHONE RINGS]

This is Arnon Ayvaz
from the Southern Campaign.

Hello. Yes?
Who is it?

ADAM: Who?

Who is it?
Let me have it?
No, no. It's a wrong number.

Who was it?
Wrong number.

I guess they
drafted him after all.

He can still show up.

At this hour?

Maybe he went
straight home.
[AIRCRAFT PASSING BY]

You have his number?

I have it
written down
somewhere.

So call him.

DAFI: What are you
so worried about?

The whole country
got drafted.

Why should he
be any different?

ASIA: Morning.

For the next few days,
I'll conduct Ari's lessons.

Let's open the books
to where you left off.

I believe it's the
chapter about...

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
...the original
settlements.

Just a moment.

She's really good.

What did you expect?

You're always
complaining about her.

Not as a teacher.

Students, our school has lost
one of its faculty members.

Anan Selam, the gym teacher,
was killed in action
on the Golan Heights.

I'm afraid there've been
many casualties.

Look at your mother.

Go to her.

Asia.

Asia.

Asia.

You shouldn't sleep
in your clothes.

Why don't you
put on the nightgown?

Did you have
a bad dream?

What did you
dream about?

You need to sleep.

You always tell Dafi
that bad dreams
clear your mind.

Come.

Come to bed.

We're going to sleep.

I love you.

[SIGHS]

Come to bed.

Good morning.
Good morning.

Gabriel Arditi.

Army address?
I don't know.

You don't know
his army address?

No army address.
No ID number.

You're sure
he was called up?

Absolutely.
There's no doubt
about it.

Gabriel who?

Arditi.

You're a relation?

He's a friend of mine.

Just friend?

What do you mean "just"?
He's a friend.

I'm sorry.
I can't help you.

We can only speak
with members of the family.

[PHONE RINGING]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Wait out here.

MAN: [ON TV]
And yes, they've arrived.

The plane with
the first of the prisoners
from Egypt has just landed.

It is difficult to
describe the excitement
here at the airport.

And here they come,
off the plane.

Tired, pale,
but the look in the eyes
says it all.

"We're back home."

Emotional family members
find it difficult to believe

that the nightmare is over.

And who knows,
maybe this is
really the beginning

of a new era.

What did you think?

Our boys are back home.

Dafi, get off
the phone.

Really?

Dafi, will you please
get off the phone?

You must not.
Dafi!

What's the matter
with you?

Hang up the phone.
Maybe somebody's
trying to call.

He's not going to call.
Don't you understand?

He's not going to call.

[SIGHS]

It's getting so
you can't even
breathe around here.

Excuse me,
do you live here?

Yes. Whom are
you looking for?

Mrs. Arditi.
Do you know her?

Yes. She is my neighbor.
She's not at home.

Where is she?

At the hospital.

Do you have her key?

No.

Maybe you could
just let me in
through the balcony.

Why do you have to
get in at all?
Who are you?

I'm a friend of Gabriel.

Gabriel?
Gabriel's gone away.

Where?
Back abroad.

I'd like to know
if he took
his things with him.

Please, could you
just let me in
through the balcony? Please.

I'm sorry.
I won't let
anyone inside

without the old lady's
permission.

Excuse me.

ADAM: Na'im,

come here.

I need you
for some work afterhours.
Can you stay here nights?

Or do you have to
go back to the village?

I can stay.

Okay. You know
how to climb?

Climb what?

Whatever.
Just so that you're not
scared of heights.

What kind of work
are you talking about?

Nothing too difficult.
You'll see.

Nothing illegal,
I hope.

God forbid.

Here, have some money.
Buy yourself

a toothbrush
and some pajamas.

I don't need the pajamas.
I'll sleep inside the car.

No. You'll sleep
in my house.

In your house?

Come by the
apartment at 4:00.
And, uh...

This is between
you and me.

Understand?

Why shouldn't
I understand?

Just because I'm Arab?

[CHUCKLES]

Dafi.
Shh, shh.

Dafi, come here.

He's been in there
a long time.

Maybe something's
happened to him.

Nothing
happened to him.

Na'im.

Na'im?

NA'IM: What?
Is everything okay?

NA'IM: Fine.

[CHUCKLES]

[CAR ENGINE STOPS]

Climb up there.
Open the shutters
and jump in.

Do not turn
the lights on.

Just let me
in the front door,
okay?

If somebody comes,
I'll whistle.

Try to run away.

What will you
whistle?

Well, a song.
What do you know?

Hava Nagila.
Okay.

Do not be scared.
There's no one there.

It's a friend's apartment.
I need his papers.

He went to the war.
Okay? Come.

Is he dead?

Dead, alive,
nobody knows.
Come.

[GRUNTS]

[CLATTERS]

[CLATTERS]

It was closed
from inside.

Are you sure?

Of course, I opened it.
Maybe your friend came back.
[DOOR OPENS]

MRS. ARDITI:
Who is it?

If you're looking for gold,
you can leave now.

Who's there?

Excuse me, Mrs. Arditi,
you're supposed to be
unconscious in the hospital.

Well, I'm not.
I changed my mind.

Who are you,
anyway?

What are you doing
in my house
at this hour?

You are Gabriel Arditi's
grandmother, aren't you?
Mmm.

Excuse me, Mrs. Arditi,
I will explain everything.

I am a friend
of Gabriel's.

I have been
looking for him
all over.

Is it true
that he was here
in the country?

He is still
in the country.

So where is he?

That is exactly what
I'm trying to figure out.

That's why I came.
I'm looking for clues.

Clues?

He left all his clothes
and bags here.
Is that a clue?

Everything can help.

If, God willing,
nothing happened to him
during the war,

so maybe he just
got scared and ran.

Maybe, he's hiding
somewhere.

You have to
look for him
in the night.

Why in the night?

As a child,
he used to run around
all night long

and sleep
during the day.

When he got older,
he used to steal
the keys to my Morris

and drive around
all night long.

To this day,
I don't know where.

But I always saw
that the gas tank
was empty.

Did you look up
his uncle
in Jerusalem?

You better get up.
It's after 12:00.

Your father
is not home?

No, he went
with my mother.

They went to
look for someone.

His friend?

Which friend?

That one
we looked for last night
at the old lady's house.

Oh, yeah,
he's not a friend.

No?
No.

He's my
mother's lover.

What?

Kidding.
It was just a joke.

You have money
for the bus?

Yes.

You know where
the bus stop is?

Yes. Uh...

Well, not really.

Want me to
take you there?

If you like.

ARNI: Hi, Dafi.

Hi.

This is Na'im.

I'm Arni.
I'm Danny.

ARNI: You coming
with us, Dafi?

Do you know
the way from here?

Yes.

Uh...

Thanks
from my father.

So, who's he?

DAFI: Oh, Na'im?
He works for my father.

Sorry you had to
come all this way
for nothing.

Thank you
very much.

Yeah, it's been
over a year
since they moved.

I think they're living
in Ramat Gan, now.

Na'im, I need you
to help me nights
with a tow truck.

Do you think your father
will let you sleep
in the city?

My father
doesn't care at all
where I sleep.

Adam,

Friedman
is on the phone.

I'll talk to him later.

For the life of me,
I can't figure out
what you're doing.

Fixing the tow truck.

What do we need
the tow truck for?

We'll take it out at night
and bring in more customers.

Go find out how much
they charge for towing.

But who is
going to drive?

I am.
You?

Why not?
Do you think I forgot
what it means to work?

Huh, you're
a real comedian.

Dafi.

The newspaper.

Where is Dafi?

She went shopping
with her mother.
I'm waiting for her.

What time is it?

Almost 6:00.

Do your parents
know where you are?

My mother never
worries about me.

She doesn't care
where I am.

What about
your father?

My father went to Germany
when I was four years old.

He never came back.

Do you want something
to drink or eat?

No, thank you.

Why are you going?

Sit down.

[CHUCKLES]

So, are you going
to wait for her?

Sure. What else
do I have to do?

[CHUCKLES]

Here it is.
Help yourself.

Thank you.
This is the boy
I told you about.

I know him.

That's the Arab
who came in
through the window.

[SPEAKING ARABIC]

His name is Na'im.

At night he's
going to help me
look for Gabriel.

During the day
he can help you
if you need anything.

He's a good kid,
you'll see.

Yeah, I know
all about them.

When they're little,
they're good kids.

Then they grow up
to be terrorists.

When there's a wreck,
I'll pick you up.
So long.

So long,
Mrs. Arditi.

I just hope
you find him alive.

ADAM: Alive and well.

Mrs. Arditi,
can't give up hope.

[DOOR CLOSES]
[SPEAKING ARABIC]

I don't want to.

Why does every time
I walk into a Jewish house

I have to take a bath?

When guests came
to our forefather Abraham,

the first thing
he would do is
wash their feet.

I'm sorry,
I never studied
the Bible.

What did you study?

Bialik.

Bialik in Arabic?

No, Bialik in Hebrew.

"The heavens
beg for compassion.

"If there is a god in you,
and the bard told him,
I did not find it.

"You prayed for me.

"My heart
is like a stone."

[SPEAKING OTHER LANGUAGE]

Well, well, an Arab boy
who knows Bialik.

"The conference
attended by hundreds
of the representatives

"received worldwide
media coverage."

Mmm.

"Once again,
as in other meetings
of this type,

"statements were made
proclaiming that
Arab citizens everywhere

"must take up arms
and destroy the Jews."

Why do they say that?

I don't want to
destroy you.

We'll see about that.

[CHUCKLES]

[PHONE RINGS]

Hello.

Yes, this is
the towing service.

Just a minute.

Okay,
I'm going now.

Thanks for the coffee.
Go get some sleep.

I'm coming with you.
No way!

Daddy, I can't
sleep anyway.

But tomorrow
is a school day.

I'm coming
with you.

Yes, just a minute,
what about Na'im?

I already called him.
[CHUCKLES]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

ADAM: Dafi?

Dafi?

Wake up.
We're almost there.

What are you
doing here?

Waiting for someone.

Who?

I shall take you home?

No.

But where to?

Wherever you like.

No, that's dangerous.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[CHUCKLES]

DAFI: Dad.

You still up?
I waited for you.

Yeah, but I told you
I would be late.

But you didn't say
you'd be this late.

Where have you been?

Tel Aviv.
In these clothes?

I needed a part
urgently.

But why did you
come so late?

I saw a car
on the road,

a car that looked
like the Morris
and I chased it.

And?

Wasn't him.
And the car?

Mmm-mmm.

[DOGS BARKING]

You ought to be
in school now.

[SCOFFS]

We mustn't see
each other anymore.

I don't know
what to say,
but it's crazy.

Don't even
think about it.

It shouldn't have happened,
I know, but I was weak.

You have to forget it.

Forget me.

ADAM: Dafi?

Daddy, what's wrong?
You sick?

No, I'm not sick,
I'm tired.

[SIGHS]

You've been crying.

I fought with
my math teacher.

Again?

Schwartzy threatened
to expel me.

The car yesterday
with the little boy,

did you find out
what happened?

I don't know.

I decided to stop
with the towing.

Because of me?

Because of everything.
I can't go on with it anymore.

You gave up on him?

Just about.

And Mom?

She'll give up, too.

I don't think
you can go on
like this.

Schwartzy's talking
about expulsion.

You have to stop
going at nights
with your father.

Otherwise
you won't be able
to finish the year.

That's it,
no more towing.

Good, I'm glad
you've decided
to stop it.

Daddy decided.

What do you mean?

He told the towing company
he's gonna stop working.

Country?
Denmark.

Me, too.
Major city?
Detroit.

Dallas.

Animal?
DAFI: Dog.

ADAM: Dolphin.

Plant?

DAFI: Date tree.
ADAM: Daffodil.

Object?

[DOOR SLAMS]

We must keep
looking for him.

I know.

Why did you
wait for me?

I told you not to
wait up for me.

I went to the movies.
A good story.

I stayed around
to see it again.

This man works on a boat
and his wife stays at home
with the baby.

And this other man comes
and she falls, uh,
madly in love with him.

You alive or dead?

Oh.

I never had
an accident
before, never.

I don't understand.
I just don't understand.

Everything
was fine.

And then,
out of the blue

came this little car
with the lights full on,

heading straight
into me.

I swerve to the right
and there was this tree.

[CHUCKLES]

What happened
to the other car?

Nothing,
maybe a scratch.

Uh, two orthodox Jews
from Jerusalem
with the big hats.

They had side curls,
you know.

Those real fanatics.
Damn it, I'm innocent.

Yeah, this is
from their car.

1947 Morris.

Just a piece of scrap
and you can tell
how old it is?

Mmm-hmm.

Dafi, where
have you been?

I've been waiting for you.
I have to go to Jerusalem.

Your father's there.

He found a part
for the Morris.

Make yourself
something to eat, okay?
I have to run now.

Say "hello" to me, Dafi.
Otherwise I'll feel awful.

Then why do you
have to go to Jerusalem?

Don't you understand?

See you later, Dafi.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

MAN: Can I help you?

I found this part
on the street.
It's from an old Morris.

I want to give it back
to the owner.
Maybe you know him.

No, I don't know him.

No?

Thank you.

They wanted to kill me.

24 hours later,
I was already
in the desert.

They gave me
a bazooka.

They really
wanted to kill me.

I faded at the
army base in Grevia.

By the afternoon
I was in the Sinai
with the Morris.

Would you
believe it?

You really
did a good job.
[CHUCKLES]

There was shelling
and everything.

And every minute
they told me to
do something else.

Afterwards,
I was in this jeep,
full of soldiers.

They were all boys.

We stood for hours
with full packs
and helmets.

And watched
the explosions.

Then I heard
this chanting.

Three men, dressed in black,
with side curls and beards,

jumping around,
clapping their hands,

handing out
prayer books, skull caps,
and fringe garments.

They let me eat.

One day, I found
one of these
black coats, on a rack.

Someone had
left it there.

And when
they came again,

I asked if
I could go with them.

So then, I knew
what I had to do.

I hid out somewhere.

And my unit
forgot about me.

I found the Morris.
I followed them
to Jerusalem.

They checked
if I was a Jew.

And they made me
the school driver.

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

And so equals like so.

And now
you'll observe...

Dafne.

I'm sure that your command
of this material is so perfect

that you can
afford to gossip

whilst I'm attending
to the rest of the class.

Why don't you come up
to the blackboard

and finish
the equation for us?

I don't know how.

Ah, come on.

But I don't know how.

Dafne, stop arguing with me
and come up to the blackboard.

Dafi.
Law of cosines.

Asnad, another
word from you

and you will be thrown
out of this classroom.

What do you
have to say for yourself
now, Miss Dafne?

I wish you had died
instead of the gym teacher.

Get out of here.

Get out of here!

[DOORBELL BUZZING]

[SIGHS]

NA'IM: It's me.

I didn't think that
anybody was home.

Are you sick?

No.

Did my father send you
to pick something up?

Yes. No. Um...

Oh, uh,
I'm looking for him.

He's not at the garage.

He's not here?

I know,
he's in Jerusalem.

I wanted to
tell him something.

Well, tell me.

The old lady's dying
and I quit.

Quit what?

My job, taking care of her.
I can't do it anymore.

Sit down.

Are you done
with the school already?

I am,
they kicked me out.

How come?

I talked back
to one of the teachers.

Just a second.

You want something
to eat?

[CHUCKLES]

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

[CHAIR SCREECHES]

[TRAIN HORN BLOWING]

[DOOR LOCK CLICKS]

[DOOR OPENS]

[GROANS]

Leave him!

He came to tell you
the old lady's
about to die.

Leave him!

[GRUNTS]

DAFI: Leave him!

Dafi,
you stay here!

Let him go
on his own.

I told you
to stay here!

Stop it!
What kind of
father are you?

[CRYING]

[DOOR SLAMS]

GABRIEL: Sit down.

[SOBBING]

Come and help me.

Is there a sheet
somewhere?

There.

Get your things.

Where are you
taking me now?
Wherever I want to.

But where?

I can throw you out
over the border.

Why to the border?
I want to go home.

I trusted you.
Is that how
you pay me back?

What did I do?
Steal, murder?
What did I do?

You broke into my house
and you took my daughter.

She told me to stay.

I didn't force her.

She wanted to.

Is this going on
a long time,
you and Dafi?

Since this morning.

Did you
sleep together?

I don't know.

I think so.

Get out.

Don't ever
come back.

Na'im, come here.

That's for school.

[CAR ENGINE STARTS]

What are you
doing here?

Waiting for you.

I started to worry.

Where's Dafi?

She's okay.
She just has to be
left alone for a while.

What about him?

He's fine.

What's he doing?

He left.

When is he
coming back?

He's not
coming back.

I told him it would
be better if he left.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Mmm-hmm.
