Sharon Alexander

Yeah, OK, how about the bonds?
Fine, let her know.

Hello, Itzik? Itzik, do you
know what time it is?

No, you make the trade now.

Hello. Hello, Mr. Chang,
how are you?

It's about 5.6. OK,
have a nice day.

I don't know how to put this.
-You've missed me.

Listen to me a sec, we've
had it pretty rough lately,

I've had to make lots of
cutbacks. -I know that.

I've been downsizing. -It's
hard to break it to them?

It's hard to break it to you.
-You're letting me go?

I'm letting half the staff
go, not you, specifically...

You could have brought
this up last night,

but you thought

''Well, why ruin our lovely
last evening together'',

is that it? -I don't want it
to be our last evening. Look,

I set you up an interview
with... -Mr. Peretz, there...

I don't need you to set
anything up for me.

Daphna? -What? -Coffee?

Julie, you've been whispering
all day. I'm not sick.

I just don't know what to say.
-Just go ahead and say it.

I'm sorry about your father,
and I'm glad you're back.

I missed you.
-Thanks, darling.

Julie...? -What?
-I'd like some coffee.

Not one sale, and already
my book's off display?

It's like you've buried it
for all eternity

in the ash heap of histories
of the post modernistic and...

Avant Garde. -Exactly. -You
must have patience, Yonathan.

Will you put my book back
on display? -Sure, sure.

Now run along, write
something, give 'em hell.

Are you mocking me?
-No, don't be silly. No.

You'll see, it'll be fine,
I promise it'll be fine.

What'll be fine?
Nothing's fine.

What happened?
-What hasn't?

But you're the best
broker there is. -True.

It was convenient, working
and fucking at the same place.

Fuck him. I'll make some
calls this week,

if that doesn't pan out,
I'll start working here again.

Last thing we need. -I'm still
not sure which is worse.

You're not seeing him again,
then? -In his dreams.

I'm not wasting any
more time on him.

Well, I'm going to blow
all my severance pay

on shopping and R&R.
-Marvellous idea.

Then I'll get back to
dealing with my pathetic life.

Care to join? Holding up,
are you? -One day at a time.

No, I don't think so.
9:00, 20 people...

Evening, Daphna.
-Is he in?

Hi, Yoram. -Hi.

Hate to butt in, but
we're late for our movie.

We're just wrapping this up.
I'd like you to meet Ami Mor,

my latest client.
My wife, Daphna.

Ami just moved from Haifa
to Ramat haSharon.

They said this place has the
best strawberries on earth.

They're not what they
used to be.

I'm downstairs, by Mr. Coffee.
-5 minutes. -Bye, Daphna.

In short, the paperwork should
get through in about a week,

then we can start the company up.

Hi. I didn't know you worked
here. -Were you supposed to?

Daphna, right? Ami, we
met at your husband's firm,

you caught a movie. -Right,
sorry, didn't recognize you.

''Sorry'' won't cut it. -How're
the berries? -As promised.

This is a good one. It's about
a boy raised in Shanghai,

his parents vanished, and he
comes back there as an adult.

It's about memory.
-Daphna? -Yeah?

Have we got haKuzari?

Check the Jewish philosophy
section.

This is a great biography, if
you like that sort of thing.

I need The Rosendorf Quartet.
-OK, Nathan Shakham.

No, no copies at the moment.
We've got his latest.

No, I've read that. Could l
place an order, maybe?

Yeah, sure. It'll be in
about three days from now.

Can I leave my number, then?

OK, we'll give you a call
when it gets here.

Here. -Thanks.

That's that. See you, thanks
a bunch. -Bye.

What's so complex about
spending 400,000 dollars?

Start off with a month long
trip to India. 30 grand, tops.

Check out this stunning villa
in Tuscany, that'll dent it.

New car, another 40 K,
just for the hell of it.

Top it off with a yacht plus
maintenance. Voila, all gone.

I'm sure your dad was counting on me to

keep you from putting it all
into savings, or something.

Could you tell him to turn
it down? -Doesn't bother me.

Gali, I'm warning you, I'm
not in the mood for this.

Do your worst. -My worst?
-Mom!

Want to go to lndia?
-Not even remotely.

We just read his will
this morning.

Truth is, I really don't
feel like talking about it.

Bye. -Got a cell phone?
Call dad to pick you up.

Sure, like dad'll pick me up.
-Pest.

You give her a cell phone
for safety's sake?

If she were my daughter,

she wouldn't set foot outside
without a few kilos of kevlar.

Good thing you don't
have children.

So, what do you
think of my plan? -So, so.

Not what you had in mind,
huh? I should've known.

Maybe in a couple of years
from now.

Daphna's got to do something,
get out there a little.

l thought maybe
this Friday we'd

take a few people out
clubbing, live it up.

Doesn't sound all that bad.

We can invite Ami,
my new client.

He was at the store yesterday.
-Yeah, he told me.

l told him: ''That's how it is
here in Ramat haSharon.

''You go out, you bump into
somebody''. He's good looking,

and he's loaded, even after
that tiff with his wife.

Sounds intriguing. -Come by.
-Come on by.

No, I'm through with men.
Well, for a little while.

Hey, Meiravi, it's Dan. It's
been 3 days, and I miss you.

l know it's not easy for you,

and I've had a few ideas
on how to find you a job,

so maybe I could
drop by later?

The show ended, I missed
my ride back, and...

l had a feeling you need me,
you don't want to sleep alone,

so I came by... -Get in,
Sha'ul, get in already.

You've lost weight.

How goes it? -Everything's
just great, Daphna.

Ami and I were just having
a fascinating conversation.

Great. What do you do?

l told Michaela I used to
be CEO of a high tech firm.

The company closed down,
l got sacked, and that's that.

At least now I've got a
chance to do all those things

l never got a chance to
do these past four years.

That's what I'd like to do,

just get up every morning, do
nothing, down a few beers...

And...? -Eventually
I'd go insane.

What's up? -Nothing.
-It was good, wasn't it?

I'm just mad about you.
You're my most faithful ex,

and the worst lay I've ever had.

Sorry. -It's fine.

It's fine, it's fine, it's
fine. -What's fine about it?

It's fine, I'll change
dresses, no problem.

This always happens...
-Don't fret, it happens.

I'll be right back.

Yoram, is there another
bathroom free? -Upstairs.

Ami? -I didn't know you swam
here. -I didn't know you did.

Yeah, I just signed up
yesterday.

It's cramped as all hell, that
old lady nearly drowned me.

Yeah, she thinks she owns
the place. I'm on my way out.

l had fun at your place.
-Really? Thank you.

Michaela thought you
were charming.

She's cute. Not exactly
my type. -Pity.

Well, bye. -Bye.

The book you ordered came in.

Is that so? Thanks,
I'll come by tomorrow.

OK, bye. -Bye.

Hi. -Hi. -I didn't keep
you waiting, did l?

No, no, I'm just putting
everything in its place.

l like the place tidy when
l start work every morning,

so... -You have a hard time
letting go of the books?

Like a rancher who pets his
horses goodbye every night.

The book you ordered.

Thank you.

Have you read all of these?
-Nearly. -Care for a test?

The card won't register.

l guess I got it wet, just wipe it dry.

''If you really want to hear
about it, the first thing

''you'll probably want to
know is where I was born...''

''and what my lousy childhood
was like.'' Salinger, The Man.

Seriously, that's too easy.

l reread it recently,

and really identified with
his solitude. Solitude.

My divorce wasn't
all that easy,

l hadn't lived alone
for ten years.

The house was always full,
bustling, then nothing.

Sad. I've never been alone.

You don't know what you're
missing. No peeking!

''Many years later, as he
faced the firing squad,

''Col. Aureliano Buendia was
to remember that distant eve

when his father took
him to discover ice.''

100 Years of Solitude.
-Solitude. -A different sort.

The card still won't work,
and I've got to close up.

Thank you.

Now I've really got to go.
-Horses all tuckered out?

Don't forget the book.
That's it.

''On that day I received
two children,

''one of Muslim descent,
the other of Jewish descent.''

''The Roots of Heaven'',
Romain Gary.

''La Vie devant Soi'',
Emile Ajar.

Gary and Ajar were the same
person, didn't you know?

l know, but the book's by
Ajar, La Vie devant Soi.

l haven't got a copy on hand,
but you're way off.

I'm starving. You hungry?
-Famished.

We'll make a big salad.
There's bread, make toast.

I'd like some eggs. -Eggs.

You listening? Thinking
about musicians and music,

l keep asking myself whether
l let too much go to waste,

abandoning music and
becoming a lawyer like I did.

On the other hand... -Yes?

l also ask how I'd have
survived as a musician,

flat broke, divorce suits
from here to Iceland.

Tell me, would you
have married a musician?

Why not? -You don't say?

l still insist it's
La Vie devant Soi.

l still insist you're wrong.

I'll look into it tomorrow.
-Come here, want a ride home?

No, no, no. I'm going
to the bakery.

There's a bakery around here?
-Just around the corner.

That fast? We're barely out
the door. -Want a kiss? -What?

Want to bet? -On what?
-The book I quoted.

Don't waste your breath.

Come to my place, I've got
the book. -There's no point.

No? -No, no, no, no,
no. I'm not getting on that.

Turned out really fun. Thanks.

If I win, will you share
a drink of wine with me?

Pity, you'll end up
drinking solo.

Sorry about the mess,
l just moved in.

''On that day I received
two children,

''one of Muslim descent,
the other of Jewish descent.''

OK, ''Roots'' is still
a much better book.

You just have to be a sore
loser. -Pretty much.

I'm starving, want
to have dinner with me?

No, thanks, I'll eat at home.
-Pasta, dried tomatoes...

Sounds delicious, but...
-Just a nibble.

You like cooking? -Love it.

You've got plenty of books.
-Yeah. I gave her everything,

gave her the house, the car,
everything but the books.

Whenever I visit someone, l
end up buried in their books.

I've never met anyone like you
before. -What did you say?

You heard me.

Sorry, I don't usually
do this sort of thing,

this has never
happened before.

I'm sorry, here,
I'll take you home.

What happened when you met me?
-Forget it, Daphna.

What did you feel?

l felt I had to touch you, feel you.

I've got wrinkles. it all
droops at my age.

Daphna.

l ask that you stay
away from me from now on.

Daphna. -I ask that you
leave me alone.

Daphna, I want to talk
to you a second.

Just give me two minutes,
that's all I'm asking.

Daphna. -Look, I'm not
into this sort of thing,

l love Yoram. I don't know
what came over me, I'm sorry.

Really, I ask you,
leave me alone.

Daphna.

Hello? -Hello,
Ms. Binyamini. -Hi.

I'm calling from the offices
of Ne'eman Ya'akov & Co.

Right. -Your appointment
for today has been cancelled.

The offer is no longer
current. I apologize. -Thanks.

What are you doing here?
-I'd like to talk a moment.

Listen to me, for
just one moment.

The salad's great, what's in
it? -Nothing, same old salad.

Same bland old salad,
you mean.

Say, have you got
any more buns?

Not sure, I think you ate
them all. -Scrumptious.

l had about 3 minutes to kill
between appointments,

so I thought: ''Whatever shall
l do with my precious time?''

And I realized: ''Why
not pay Daphna a visit?''

You've got appointments, dear?
I'm delighted, I thought...

Daphna, I was kidding.
I've got nothing.

And I need to sell
my apartment, because

1,000 per 80 meters per
jobless loser is unworkable.

Just look at me. I've
gained weight, it's all...

Excuse me, we've got to put up
the holiday sale sign. -Right.

You look great. -I look and
feel like hell. I've had it.

But you old scoundrel, you
don't look half bad.

You look radiant, like
you're having an affair.

Must be the shirt. New?
-An affair?

An affair, yeah. A man and
woman meet, a spark is struck,

for a brief while, they can't
keep their minds off it...

l know what an affair is, why
did you say I have one?

Your heart always goes
a mile a minute at first,

you're giddy for no reason,
stupid smile on your face.

Just like Daphna. -I'm just in
a good mood. So sue me.

And there're always excuses.
-I am not having an affair.

Sure you aren't. Neither am l.
Pity.

l just feel good, honestly.
Nothing's changed.

You look really good.

What do you like?

l like it when you hold me.
-Well, easier done than said.

What else? -Answer that.

What do you like me to do?
-There it goes again.

it won't stop until you answer
me. -Pick up, then I will.

My partners from New York.

They've just offered me
an incredible deal. -What?

Partnership with an American
cell phone distributor.

It's all just coming together.

Mom! You haven't paid for
my lessons, and I'm hungry.

Mom!

Did you eat this? -No, I had
cornflakes. That's icky.

Where's mom?

Don't know. I called her,
but she wouldn't answer.

l don't want cereal. -I'm off.
-Who'll heat this up, then?

The microwave. Some ketchup
might make it less icky.

Bye. -Pig!

Hello. -Bonjour. -Package
for Ami Mor. -Oui, oui.

Sign here, please.
-Bien sur. -Thank you.

Lots of garlic, or just
a dash? -Lots.

If she hadn't kept the pasta maker,

I'd show you what
real pasta is.

Try it. It's hot.

Daphna, it's the contract.
-So you're closing the deal?

Look, I'll need some financial
guarantees. If all goes well,

I'll be the company's sole
representative in Israel.

Sole? -Yes.

No other representatives
with long legs and miniskirts?

No, no others.
-I'll allow it, then.

I want you to cut off your
business ties with Yoram.

I already have.
-Really? Thank you.

What will become of us,
Daphna? -What's that mean?

We can't go on like this.

I want to be with you, I want
to fall asleep beside you,

watch you read a book
before you go to sleep.

I want to get up with you
in the morning. I love you.

How can I help it?
I love you, Daphna.

Yes?

What sort of policy
would that be?

We've already got
life insurance.

Look, my husband handles
that sort of thing.

Well, mom, I've got to get
to basketball practice.

All right, be back by
dinnertime. -OK.

I miss you so much. -Me too.
I'll try to come over soon.

You'll be here soon, then?

Look, we're already covered,
we've got a policy,

we've got everything we need,

and please stop
calling here. Salesmen.

Happy anniversary, my love.
-Anniversary.

This is for you. -What is it?
-A car.

Wow, thanks. Thank you.

And for me...? -For you?

I got married, too.
-Sure. Hold that pose.

It's a machine. What kind of
machine? -A pasta maker.

Splendid. Just the thing
I need.

What do I do with it? I'll
never figure this thing out.

Learn.

There's a note.
-Maybe I should read it.

No, no, no. It's my note,
I get to read it.

''Love you, love lasagne''.
Love you.

Get in gear, we're due at
the restaurant in 30 minutes.

What? -I made reservations.
-Why didn't you tell me?

It's a surprise. -Shit,
I told Julie I'd be at...

Cancel with Julie, then.
-Fine. -Fine, how?

Give me a few minutes, I'll
handle things, and...

OK, I'll make pasta
while I wait.

Thank you, Mr. Mitchell,
I'll see you Sunday. Bye, bye.

I've got 'till Sunday to
transfer funds to New York,

then I'm off to sign the contract.

You're going to New York?
-No, no. Just for a few days.

Don't worry. -This dress
demands a matching hairdo.

I don't know,
I just feel naked in it.

Where would I go dressed
like this? -Grocery shopping?

Yeah. Two chocolate
milks and one regular.

No, no, no. Like this.
Two chocolate, one regular.

So, Julie, what did he say?

He got up and left.

I'll go after him later,
try and salvage things.

Are you tripping? Patience,
don't ruin the whole game.

Thanks to both of you for
your incredible advice.

Who bought it? -Some young man
and a not so young woman.

Tell me, what did
they think of it?

''Coffee Readings''. -Wait, did
they say anything, Daphna?

I'm busy, pinned down.
-What were they wearing?

Hi, flowers for Julia Harel.
-I don't believe it!

They loved it.

I'll compensate you
for that.

Help!

Come again? I didn't get
that, is everything all right?

Where were you? Did you know
I looked everywhere for you?

Why don't you
answer your cell phone?

Your car was by the store...
-You were at the store?

Sure, I was at the store. Why
don't you answer your phone?

Why were you looking for me?
-I was worried sick.

When you get home late, am l
out looking for you?

I told you I had
things to do.

What am l, a little girl?
Why are you stalking me?

What's with you? Who's
stalking you? -You g...

I was with dad.

Looking at photos. Where
else could I have been?

Look, I was worried sick.

My darling, my sweet,
I love you.

I love you as I've never
loved a woman before.

What will I do when you're in
New York? 3 whole days, alone.

What will I do?

Hi, Liat. Bye. Yes, thanks for
getting back to me on that.

What's up? Great, excellent.

OK, look, I know we settled
on ten days from now,

but I need the money
this week.

You won't lose anything
on this.

OK, fine,

I know that's what your
attorney said, but...

Sure, Liat, I'll cover
your loss at a later date.

Look, all I'm asking...

The good news is
I'm not leaving.

Who's Liat? -My ex wife.

She doesn't want... Forget it.

Leaving already?
-I've got to go.

What doesn't she want? -Forget
it, no need for you to get involved.

Ami? -Let it go. -It's OK,
you can tell me.

I don't want to get
you involved. -Ami.

We've got an asset
distribution agreement.

which states our savings will
be split up in ten days.

I thought I had time, but

the people in New York want
to close escrow this week,

and she won't free up
the funds.

She'll just stop at nothing
to keep me from succeeding.

Well, I suppose
I'll let it go.

What sort of sum are we
discussing? -Plenty. $300,000.

That's not that much.

Get a bank loan, I'll be
the guarantor. Make the deal,

come back. -I won't get you
mixed up in this, Daphna.

Why not? My signature
not good enough for you?

Of course it is, my sweet.

I don't know, I'm not
comfortable with this,

it just doesn't seem right.

Ami, Ami, I want
to help out. Period.

What's between us is just
so beautiful... -Ami, Ami...

So pure, let's not spoil it,
seriously... -Ami, please.

Ami, I really do
want to help.

Meet at the bank tomorrow
morning? Where's your branch?

haKhashmona'im 95,
Tel Aviv. -Thank you.

8:30 AM, then.

Daphna, I don't know how t...
-You already have.

You're an amazing woman.
I'll owe you for this forever.

Thanks, much obliged,
all the best.

So your guarantee amounts
to 1.5 million NIS,

for the duration of a week.
-OK.

Sign here, and here,
initials here,

signature here and here.

Why do bank pens never work?

Daphna. -Yeah. Thanks.

Other side. -Here?

That's it. -Thank you.
-Thank you. -Best of luck.

When will I have you back?
-Thursday. Evening.

Will you be there?
-Of course.

Shit, Gali's birthday is
Thursday evening,

I'll have to be there Friday
morning. -Friday morning.

''Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you,

''happy birthday, dear Gali,
happy birthday to you.

''And many...'' -You're giving
me a headache! That song,

that annoying... -It's not the
song, you're just older.

Now, make a wish, blow,
and don't you dare.

Next year's your
Bar Mitzvah, sweetie.

Bring on the cake. -Who wants
some? -Me...

Daphna, what's with you?
-Nothing.

You're nervous. -Everything's
fine, Meirav.

Meirav! -The little one's for
Gali, not for me.

Daphna, have a seat,
have some cake.

I think I left the alarm off
at the store. Be right back.

Hold on, I'll come along.

No, no, it's fine, it's
fine, I'll go by myself.

I don't want Gali to end up
alone with all that cake.

No, it's fine, mom, dad
can go with you. Go.

Just a sec, I'll come
with you.

I don't want you to be out
all alone right now, OK?

I'll go with her.
I need to get some air.

Now you can go alone. What's
the matter? -I can't breathe.

The number you have reached
is currently unavailable.

Please try again at a
later time. Thank you.

The number you have reached
is currently unavailable.

Please try again at a
later time. Thank you.

Daphna, you still haven't
put my book back on display.

I'm not going to, either.

No one cares about your
books. No one at all.

Take them back. -What's
going on? -But why?

Enough, Yonathan,
let her be for now.

Lady, there's no one here.

''Daphna Eilam, daughter,
Mr. Berkovitch, RIP 2000.1.3''

Michaela? -Not quite.

Where were you? I've searched
for 3 days. -I'm right here.

We said we'd meet. -Daphna,
people say all sorts of things.

You know how
this works, right?

Wait outside, I'll
be right out.

Go to the cops, and these wind
up with your precious husband.

Did you honestly think I could
fall for someone like you?

Someone so dull, so dry?

Feeling better?
I'll get that.

Hello? One moment, please.
It's for you.

Tell Sigal I won't
make it today.

It's not Sigal, it's
your dad's bank.

Hello? -Miss Eeilam, good
morning. This is Ashkenazi.

Yes? -Look, that family friend
of yours, Mr. Mor,

he failed to return his loan,

and the bank's had me
exercise your guarantee.

Truth is I've already
made the transfer,

I just wanted you to hear it
from me, not some spreadsheet.

I'm sorry, I had no choice.

What did they want? -Nothing.
It's nothing. I want to sleep.

I'll try to come in early, OK?

That son of a bitch.
Why didn't you tell me?

I don't know.

I'm so stupid. What
do I do now?

You need to call the cops.
-No, I'm not doing that.

If I call the police,
Yoram'll find out.

He mustn't find out.
-But Yoram loves you.

Tell him, these things happen
when you're together so long.

He'll understand.
-And if he doesn't?

Well, if that's how it
is, our only choice is

to track that bastard down
ourselves,

and get your money back.

Easier said than done, since
he's probably used some of it

to disappear somewhere quiet
and far away.

''Red Sea Hotel''

This is his.

Hi, I'd like the number of
the Red Sea Hotel, in Eilat.

Hi, I'm looking for a guest
of yours named Ami Mor.

Probably an Alias.
-No, don't patch me through.

No answer. -He's not
even in hiding.

He's so sure I won't do anything to him.

Not you, not the 100 or so
dupes that came before you.

Listen, Daphna,
I have an idea.

It's far from simple, and
it's very far from cheap.

Willing to go all the way?

Hello. Hi. -How was your
flight? -Excellent.

Rosenberg. -Pleased to meet
you. -Hi, Milman.

What'll you drink? -Whatever
you're having is fine. -OK.

Well, spill. -It's like this,
the stakes are high, right?

Each investor contributes
450,000, bare minimum.

We need a total of 3 million.

We've handled bigger ventures
before, right? -And riskier.

Meirav, if there's anyone
in the country

I'd trust with an issue of
this scale, it's you.

We worked out projected
profit with Sha'ul.

Not half bad.

Fine. -Excuse me, one second.
Hello?

Sorry, I've got to get to
a board meeting in Tel Aviv.

See you. -See you.
-OK, see you.

Best of luck. -Thank you,
thank you. -Goodbye. -Bye.

Gentlemen, let's get cracking.

A little quiet, quiet, please.
Please settle down.

It's like this: 8:30 Am,
every day, you're all here,

dressed the part. You're
late? You're out.

I'll give you your lines,
we troubleshoot on location.

Here are tomorrow's scripts,
please memorize them.

What about overtime?
We're in the union.

Avi, take it or leave it, I've
got a thousand other actors

who'd love to get
a gig like this.

How about you? -No problems
here. -You sure? -Yeah.

Your suits are en route.
Now, let's get started.

When's Daniella supposed to
show? -Now. Where is she?

Here I am. -Great, slip into
something more dignified,

get the guys' suits ready,

and get yourself
a proper phonebook!

All right, you don't have
to yell. -Fine!

Good evening.
-Good evening.

Care for a drink? -Double shot
of whiskey, straight.

Good evening, Ms. Binyamini,
how nice to see you here.

Mr. Shipman, how are you?
-Even you take time off, eh?

Well, I'm here on business,
the rest of my time's free.

I'd like you to
meet my wife, Hilda.

Hilda, my broker, Meirav.

The best broker in Israel.
I told you about her...

Of course, my husband's told
me wonderful things about you.

Well, we're... -We're...

We're relaxing here a bit...
-Yes, maybe you'd join us?

No, no thank you. -I promise
not to bring up business.

Sure you do. A promise you
can't keep, Shipman. Let's go.

Goodbye. -Bye, good night.
-Talk business with me.

''Midnight, suite 1785''

Hello. -Hello.
Make yourself comfortable.

Could we turn on a light? -No.
The matches are to your right.

Where are you?
-Try and find me.

Is this for us?
-Cheers. -Cheers.

I'm not there.

Well, where are you?
-Hasty, are you? -No.

What's this? -Blindfold
yourself with it.

Feel good? -Weird. -Loosen up,
take off your jacket.

Come here.

Not yet...

Who are you? -Trust me.

Pardon me. They told me the
lady had checked out.

Well, I'll just come back
a bit later.

Hold on, wait, do you
know where the lady went?

I don't know, they just
said she'd left the hotel.

I'll come back later.

Excuse me, good morning. -Yes?
-May I speak with you?

But of course. To what
do we owe the pleasure?

My apologies, but that girl
you spoke to at the bar...

Your broker. -Ms. Binyamini?
-Yes, Meirav.

Do you know where
I could find her?

She might be at the pool.
-She might be at the pool.

No, that's just it, she
left, I need her phone number.

What is your area
of expertise?

Shipman, he doesn't want
to do business now,

he just wants to know
Meirav's phone number.

Great advisor. -Mr. Shipman
will go up to his room,

phone his office, and leave
her number at the reception.

Thank you very much, madam.
-You're more than welcome.

Thank you, Mr. Fishman.
-Shipman. -If we could be...

That was my line.
I knew it by myself.

You knew it? You nearly ruined
the whole charade. -I did not.

Daniella, he's here.

Hi. -Hello. -Hello.
-May I help you?

Yes, I'm here to see
Ms. Meirav Binyamini.

Do you have an appointment?
-No, but I have to see her.

Name, please? -Ami Mor.

It's your lucky day, Mr. Mor.

Her next appointment's been
postponed. Follow me, please.

I'm Daniella, her
personal assistant.

Pleasure. Let's go to her office.

Our dealing room. Avi?

This is Avi, dealing
room manager.

Pleasure. -Pleasure.
-Follow me, please.

Would you like a drink?
-Coffee. -Two lumps? -Two.

Meirav, a Mr. Ami Mor here
to see you. You can go in.

Yes, I have the portfolio
right here.

Excellent, we've grossed
upwards of 450,000 dollars.

No, I'd advise against
selling now, but let's

discuss this at my office.
Work it out with Daniella.

Thank you, have a nice day.
Bye.

I think there's been
a misunderstanding.

Our encounter in the hotel
was strictly one time.

You shouldn't have come here.

I was in town, on business,
I thought...

I've got plenty of work to do,
sorry.

Look, I'm awfully busy. lf
I've misled you, I apologize.

And thanks for that night.
It was fun. You're sweet.

Goodbye.

Get me Granot.

I want travel expenses. -No
way. Part of your paycheck.

Sha'ul said it isn't.
-So he did. I say it is.

I'd make more than I do
here in one day of shooting.

I'm sure such a great actor
doesn't need travel expenses.

Look, I'm signing on
more investors,

but obviously the initial
sum has to be rather high.

I agree. Well, I have to go.

You don't kick out clients,
right? -Clients invest.

How much would it
cost to be your client?

100,000 shekels, at least.
Enough to get me started.

100,000 shekels is
a lot of money.

Well, there are plenty of
investment advisors in town

willing to work with less,

I could point you at them.
-No, no problem.

Now, explain how
this works to me.

Look, I'm very particular
with my clientele.

I don't know who you are,
where you're from, what you do.

I'm a businessman.

I deal with R&D of ecology
related technology,

and I think money is not
all that matters.

Nice. Listen, Ami, I'm
telling you quite plainly,

you'll get nothing out of me,
no matter what you invest.

How much do I stand to gain?
-Depends on your investment.

100,000. -Don't worry,
none of our clients

have wound up with their
pants down. Except you.

You always seduce strangers in
bars? -None of your business.

You haven't got a ring.
-I'm not married.

Look, I've got a meeting in
5 minutes, and lots of work,

maybe you should take up your
investment with someone else.

To whom should I make it out?
-M. Binyamini Investments.

Well, now you've
got to go to Daniella,

open a client account, sign a few forms.

Essentially, you have
an account with us.

If you so choose, I
can transfer the money

to your bank account after each
transaction. -I'd like that,

and I'd also like to see you,
too. -What for?

Business, of course. l...
To look into my options.

Tomorrow at 9:00. -9:00.

We'll have oysters and white
wine, and discuss business.

Fine, Daniella'll work it out
with you.

Some apartment. Oh, Daphna,
did you transfer the funds?

Yes, 20,000, like we agreed.

Anyway, the apartment's fully
outfitted. Washing machine...

You think I'll be
doing laundry?

Here we've got everything
you need for cooking...

Believe me, I haven't got
time to kill in the kitchen.

Besides, Ami cooks,
doesn't he? Where's the bed?

This is all I need.

You're not going to lie in bed
all day, are you?

If only, my sweet.

My stocks don't do
my work for me.

What a view.

Daniella was late yesterday,
it was really annoying.

What? What is it? -You slept
with him, didn't you?

We just never brought it up...
-Daphna, I thought you understood.

What, it bothers you that
I'm sleeping with him? -No,

we just... never brought it
up... You're in love with him.

Are you crazy? -That's why
you slept with him.

Daphna, you've got
to trust me.

Daphna, I'm not in love, and
I'm your friend above all.

I've got to get to the office,
Sha'ul's waiting for me.

Keys. And close up here.

Trust me. I'll call you. Ciao.

Meirav, excuse me. Ami Mor's
here. -Let him in.

Hello, Ami, how are you?
-I waited for you yesterday.

Yes, I'm sorry, I just
reconsidered,

realized it really wasn't
that good an idea.

Sorry I kept you waiting.

Seen your account? Daniella
deposited 20,000. -I saw.

I set you up a meeting with
Sha'ul, my investment manager.

I've spoken to him, he's
already waiting for you.

We've thought up something
nice, with fast yield.

Will you see me tonight?
-We've been over this.

I'm asking you, just once.
I'm asking.

Sorry, Ami.

But I can promise you'll
make enough via my firm

to date any and all the
girls you'd like. -Listen,

I'm looking for something
serious, something real.

One night stands, cash, that's
not all I want out of life.

There's more to life than
that. If you don't see that,

I guess we really are
a bad match.

I'll talk to Sha'ul, I'll
do what needs to be done.

Goodbye, Meirav.

Hey, I thought we could go by
your father's bank tomorrow,

empty the savings account,
put it in real estate.

I've got the morning free,
what do you think?

I haven't really got time
tomorrow morning.

The bank's open afternoons, we
could go then. -One second...

Yes? -Daphna, I lost him.
-What? How could this happen?

Don't know, I guess
I pushed too hard.

OK, fine, we'll talk,
your place at 8:30. -OK.

Ami. -Hope I'm
not interrupting.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't
have been so...

I've never met anyone l
ike you before.

I want you. -Come in, already.

I hate cooking, and
I'm not sorry.

Do you like cooking?
-I can only make pasta.

Mine always ends up
too soft, or too hard.

And that's just the pasta.
I tried roast beef once.

My boots were tastier.
-You've got mail!

What is it? -Data on our
stock in New York.

Not bad, not bad at all.
-Something I should know?

No, this is an enormous issue
we've got ten investors,

each putting up hundreds
of thousands of dollars.

I've got a bit of work to do.

Tell me about it.
-I'm not allowed to, Ami.

You've got to let me work.

Do you love me even a bit?
-An itsy bitsy bit.

Did you sleep well? And your
leg? The nurse said it aches.

I'll get you a doctor to
look it over tomorrow.

Let's have a sit,
enjoy the fresh air.

I met someone wonderful, Mom.
Wonderful, her name's Meirav.

I've decided to marry her.

She's wealthy, from
a good home,

she loves me, I love her,
we've decided to get married.

Going to work already?
-That's my life.

Why'd you dress so...?
-Sexy? -And how.

It's a videoconference from
New York, they won't see...

A few final details for my
investors, before the trade.

I've got to make
the trade soon.

No peeking, Sha'ul. -I saw
nothing, not a thing.

Meirav, the deal's
nearly done,

Shipman just has a little
question for you.

How much does all this come
out to? -About 3 penthouses,

One in NYC, one in Venice,
maybe one in Ramat Gan.

In short, 1.7 million. -You
shouldn't be hearing this.

We need one
more investor, then.

Yeah, I'm working on it,
I'm working on it.

Here's Mr. Shipman.
-Good evening, Meirav.

Good afternoon, Mr. Shipman,
how was your flight?

I loathe air travel. Listen,
the data is spectacular,

and we've kept it under wraps.
When will I see the money?

In two days, 11:00 AM, Israeli
time. -Good night, Meirav.

Good night, Mr. Shipman.
Give my regards to Hilda.

You need another investor?
-We do.

Sha'ul's out meeting someone,
I assume it'll go smoothly.

You've piqued my interest.

Ami, the minimal investment
is 400,000 dollars.

I'm making coffee, would
you like some? -Wait, hold on,

what are the returns?
-Profits should be lucrative,

but as always, not 100%
certain. You want coffee?

Thank you. Now tell me
about this investment.

If this goes sour, you could
lose everything, Ami.

If I lose everything,
will I lose you?

You know I actually don't
know anything about you?

I'm not interesting.
-No, I want to hear it.

It's not interesting.
-Come on...

I'm an only child. Raised in
Tel Aviv. Right there.

My father was a war hero,
a great general. -Which one?

He wouldn't acknowledge my
mother and l, though.

I went to him at age 16,
said ''Hi, dad.''

He asked ''Who are you?'',
I told him ''Hannah's son''.

He asked ''Who's Hannah?''

But my mother I do
want you to meet.

Now that I've laid bare my
underprivileged childhood,

might you, Ms. Binyamini,
tell me about this investment?

OK, there are these two
youngsters

who hit upon some patent
in biotechnology,

and now we're raising funds to
register them in the exchange,

and we've got reason
to believe

that within two days
their stocks go up 150%.

When does all this happen? -In
two days, and I'm exhausted.

I have to get to work tomorrow
morning, there's lots to do.

Ami, I'm giving you
info you shouldn't have.

One word from you, and
I could lose my license,

and wind up in a lovely
cell in Neve Tirza.

Daphna, the bank called today.
Something about your account.

They asked us to come in
this week.

I guess they couldn't get
a hold of you, I wonder why.

''Sex and the City'' is on,
want to watch? -5 minutes.

Yes, Sha'ul, they've
finalized.

Daniella will deposit it all
tomorrow afternoon.

I make the trade at 9:30,
and we can all rest easy.

Sure, I'll let you know.
Yeah. You and me both. Bye.

What's this? -My part
of the investment.

The profits'll
take us to Japan.

Or Zanzibar. -Or Mozambique.
-Maybe Tuscany.

Well, I've got to get some
rest, tomorrow'll be hectic.

Should I make you something
to eat? -Excellent idea.

What shall it be?
-Surprise me. -Pasta?

I love you.

I've got a surprise for you.
After the meal.

''Good morning, my love,
I've got a surprise for you!

''Be at the airport at 14:00,
#811 to Rome. Kisses, M. B.''

Good morning, Ami Mor.

Thanks for all your work.
-Thanks a lot. -Our pleasure.

This doesn't cover travel
expenses. We had a deal.

This covers everything,
relax. Who's next?

Hello, ticket and passport,
please.

Here you go. -Thank you.

Hello. -Hello.

Have a nice flight.
-Thank you.

Hello there, Meirav.

I've been looking for you.
I was at your office, I saw...

what's his name? Have you
got my boarding pass?

Where are we going, Meirav?
-I'm going.

You can't afford it.

I wouldn't, if I were you.
Whatcha want? -What's mine.

Yours? None of this is yours.
And I'm late for my flight.

Meirav! Meirav! Meirav!

Stop! Stop at once!
Stop immediately!

Ben Gurion airport security
was on high alert today

following one man's attempt to
rush into the controlled area.

His identification papers
proved false upon inspection,

a fact which led security
to suspect that...

Hello, Daphna Eilam? -Yes.
-This is for you. -Thank you.

''Dear Daphna, your money
minus expenses, as well as

''a sweet little commission
for my trouble. See you soon.''

''Love, Meirav.''

What is it?

Nothing.

Everything's all right.
