What are you celebrating at 2am?

Are you pregnant?

No, no, I'm not pregnant.

The Israeli embassy in Paris

are looking for an Alyiah attaché.

Good evening, everyone. My name is Annabelle Nohar-Cohen.

You're a fellowship appointment, aren't you?

Yes. For the next year.

If you keep this up,

I might put in a request to keep you here longer by my side.

Do you want to touch my tits?

Or just go ahead and make a baby?

A baby. I want a baby.

How much longer? Do you go to fertility treatments?

Don't worry, Ovadyia. We're working on it.

You will get a granddaughter sometime soon.

-Hey, honey. Morning. -Hey.

Morning.

What's that?

The musical score for "Shurum Zurum."

Wow.

Did you eat all of the Camembert cheese?

I did. It's good.

First thing in the morning? You're an animal.

What is it?

What's going on?

Nothing.

Do you remember when was the last time you attacked a smelly cheese?

When we found out you're pregnant with Uri.

Calm down, I'm not.

-Are you pregnant? -No.

-Are you late? -No, I'm not.

-You're late. -No, I'm supposed to have it any minute.

-There, you're late! Honey! -Come on!

Wait a minute. Hey, baby?

You hold on tight in there this time, do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Hey, Kuku? It's Daddy! Kuku...

Monkey, you do realize you're being a real monkey, right?

Hold on a minute, I'm talking to him. Hold on.

And take your mother's genes, do you hear me?

Baby? Hello?

My love, soon. Okay?

Soon.

Alright. I'm off to work.

THE ATTACHE

Poop.

Floating in the sea.

It's a Jewish artist, a Frenchwoman who did Alyiah, Rebecca Hayman.

This really does make you want to drop everything and do Alyiah.

That's for sure.

Tell me why you brought me here.

Snot.

Did you bring me here to clean some tissues?

That's your job.

Very funny.

This is art!

I want to sit here.

I'll tell you what's going on.

I'm late.

Let's look.

-Wait. -Come on, I can't stand the suspense!

Let me see those boobs becoming giant again.

Hold on.

Are you afraid you'd be disappointed?

I'm afraid I'd disappoint Avshalom.

Either you are or you aren't. That's life.

He'll be so happy. He's looking forward to this so much.

Well...

It's ready.

Well?

I don't know.

Let me see.

There's one stripe for sure, but the other one's too faded.

It's kind of ambiguous.

What does that mean?

Let's try the other one.

Thank you, Dr. Weiss, and sorry for calling at this hour.

Thank you.

He's out of town, but he said I should drop by in two days,

Excellent.

Do me a favor, get a birth control prescription from that creep for me.

Bar, come on. I'm going there to see if I'm pregnant.

I can't ask for birth control pills.

Do you even want this pregnancy?

Of course I do.

Listen, I have a meeting at the embassy, I need to go.

-Are you babysitting tomorrow? -Yes.

Thanks.

Bye.

Said?

I can ask you a question?

-Of course. -Just between you and me?

How come a Moroccan like you doesn't have five kids?

For me? No way.

In Paris, Avshalom, two kids, tops.

And you?

I want...

five, four, six.

Quickly, quickly!

Work, work! Let's go, habibi!

We're working...

Slowly.

With us.

I wanted a big family.

But there's a problem.

They're tired.

They no swim.

The doctor gave me some vitamins.

He told me...

no cigarettes.

No coffee, and sport, sport, sport, lot of sport.

Sport for me?

The doctor is crazy.

Two.

Bastard. I love cigarettes.

So how many are we? We're one player short.

Danny said he's not coming.

-Thanks. -So you go, Yoav.

Basketball? It's not for me... Running and jumping...

Mois, wait a few minutes. Stall her. We're coming over.

Hold on a minute.

What's with you?

Nothing. Why?

You look pale.

The stress over this deadline is making me sick.

Annabelle? Why don't you ask Avshalom to play with us?

No way. You'll kill him.

Hey! Her husband's an old man, you guys are gorillas.

Right, Ofra's waiting. Annabelle, let's go.

-Come on, let's go! -Right, I'm coming.

Hi, Ofra.

Okay.

Do you like the program for the convention?

-Yes. I really think that... -Good.

So, the program...

is approved.

What? There won't be some radical artist at that convention

who's going to roll around in a flag on the ground

as an artistic statement, would there?

-No. -Good. So I trust you.

Annabelle, you're replacing Ayelet for one year, right?

-You're a fellowship appointment. -Yes.

I think she's going to postpone her return to Paris.

-Oh? -That's understandable,

it's impossible doing this job with a baby at home, right?

Of course, it's impossible.

This position requires going to a lot of meetings.

Are you and your husband managing here in Paris?

Yes.

Look, it's easy for me. I'm home, my family's here.

It's a bit more complicated for Avshalom, but he's tough.

The first year is the hardest. On my first year abroad,

it took my husband and I a long time to find our footing.

It all works out eventually.

Right. We got a divorce.

Annabelle, would you be interested in staying in Paris,

and launching the program yourself at the beginning of next year?

-What? -I'm just trying to find out,

in case Ayelet wouldn't be able to return.

I want to see if there's an option to extend your contract.

Would it work out with your home life?

Yes, it would.

Congrats, lady.

I've never seen Ofra like that. I thought she'd kiss you.

I'll go make us a sandwich.

Annabelle, could you ask your husband to play with us after all?

Okay, okay.

Hi.

Hey.

How are you doing?

I had a blast today. I went to the post office.

Shopping, Synagogue, I went to Said's...

And you?

There's something I need to tell you.

What is it?

Tzachi asked me to invite you to play basketball

with the guys from security.

Is that what you wanted to tell me?

I told him you would.

Really?

No way! Come on.

They'll kill you. They're gorillas, and you're an old monkey.

You know what? I think it's a good idea.

What is it?

I'll go play some ball with them. Why not?

This body could use some exercise, don't you think?

Look, I'm growing boobs.

They're 20 years old. What are you, their chaperon?

Hey, class of 1996.

Who do you think was the top scorer at Goldwasser High?

They're playing basketball.

Alright.

Bye.

Does Mathias have to come over today?

Yes, I told you. His mom called and said she's sick.

Hey. Uri. It's Sunday, you'll have fun. Come on.

-Let's go. -Alright.

-Bye. -Bye.

Hey.

What's wrong?

How long are you going to have that long face on?

What's going on, Uri? Tell me.

It's because of Mathias. It's a secret.

I won't tell.

I told him I had two older siblings,

a brother who's a judo champion and a sister who's a singer.

Now when he comes over, he'll find out I lied.

I see.

What are their names? Your siblings?

Ganache and Suzy.

Those are nice names.

We can tell him that Ganache is away on a tournament,

and that Suzy went out.

Really?

Yes. It'll even be fun.

Guys, did someone invite Dubi Gal?

-Very funny. -What's up?

Avshalom, are you okay?

-Huh? -Are you okay?

Yes, of course.

I'm great. Come on, let's play!

-Let's start over. Give it here. -Okay.

Annabelle? What are you doing here on a Sunday?

Me? What are you doing here?

I have four kids. I need some rest after the Shabbat.

Seriously? You're coming here to rest?

I've trained myself to nap during red lights.

How do you manage your job and your kids?

How do I manage? I don't... Can't you tell?

Why?

I took a pregnancy test yesterday.

-Well? -I couldn't make it out.

I'm waiting to take a blood test after the weekend.

It'll be okay, God willing.

Having many kids is a good thing, there's are lots of benefits, really.

I'd totally recommend it.

But if you have, say six or seven children,

you need to take into account that there's a high probability

that at least one of them will be half-baked,

but they'll stay home, and you'll have someone

to change your diapers in your old age,

and that at least half of them will find God.

Only half?

That's okay, religious people marry young

and leave home, so you'll be saving on expenses.

Rebecca?

Don't you think you're missing out sometimes?

All the time.

But I just make another baby to avoid dealing with those thoughts.

Another baby, and then another.

And you?

Me?

We're looking forward to another baby.

I'm a bit anxious.

Listen, go to the ER,

say you're pregnant, and you're bleeding,

and your doctor's abroad. They'll give you a test on the spot.

-Really? -Yes, I did it with my fourth baby.

It's no big deal.

I'm going next door, you're interfering with my nap.

Guys, let's take five.

Let's take five.

-Where's the bathroom? -It's that way.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

Avshalom?

-Are you okay, bro? -Yeah, sure.

I just need a few seconds and I'll go back out there.

You look pale, man.

No, I just need some rest and I'll go back out there. I'm fine.

I think you've had enough for t.

Can I ask you for a favor? But you can't tell Annabelle.

What is it? Tell me.

Call an ambulance.

My mouth is dry and I've got pains. I can't breathe.

But other than that, I'm fine. Really. Don't worry, really. I'm fine.

Avshalom?

-Will I get the results today? -Yes.

I need them for the doctor.

How are you feeling, Avshalom?

I can't feel my mouth. My mouth is dry.

He says he's tired and that he can't feel his mouth.

Don't tell Annabelle, okay? Don't let her know.

It's okay, Avshalom.

See? He won every single tournament. It's amazing.

First prize. See that?

I'm not stupid. I know you don't have siblings.

I don't know what to tell you. I don't see that you're pregnant.

We'll run some tests after the weekend.

We'll be able to understand a bit more more after the tests.

Are you sure I'm not pregnant?

Yes. You're not pregnant.

Okay.

So why more tests?

Look, you're 34, and your ovaries are tired.

Don't worry, though, there's a treatment that can wake them up.

Okay?

We'll find a solution for you to get pregnant, okay?

Okay.

I want to ask you for one more thing.

-Hello. -Hello.

-How are you doing? -Thank you.

The tests show

that your pulse is fine, your blood pressure's normal.

You must have overexerted yourself, and probably had a panic attack,

worrying you might get a heart attack.

What did he say?

He said it was a panic attack.

The not-so-good news is that procedure requires us

to perform an extensive examination

to make sure there's nothing else wrong.

Okay.

Where are you going, Avshalom?

Home.

Sir?

-You can't leave. -Thank you, sir.

But you still need to have some tests done, bro.

I'll do it tomorrow.

Hello, Bar?

Annabelle, listen, Uri locked himself in the bathroom,

He had a fight with his friend, I think you should come.

He's locked himself in.

Uri? It's Mom.

Are you okay? Can I come in?

No.

Just keep in mind I'm right here.

It's okay. This isn't the first time.

Thanks.

Honey?

Why don't you tell me what's wrong?

I lied to Mathias about having siblings.

Okay.

He found out I was lying.

And tomorrow, he'll tell everyone at preschool.

I miss our preschool.

What do you miss the most?

In Israel, people would laugh when I'd tell jokes.

And here... I can't tell any jokes in Hebrew.

You know, honey,

when I came to Israel,

it was hard and weird for me, too,

because I couldn't always understand what everyone was laughing about.

But I promise you'll adjust.

Did they make fun of you for not speaking well, too, Mom?

Of course, honey. They used to tease me.

Do you remember that Israeli song you used to sing at Leah's preschool?

The national anthem?

-Sort of. -So there's a line there...

"As long as it's in your heart..."

Do you know what I'd sing?

"As long as it's in your cart..."

They all laughed at me,

and even your dad didn't correct my Hebrew.

I know. Dad doesn't like to correct your Hebrew.

-Really? -When you get confused,

Dad tells me when you can't see,

because he doesn't like to correct your Hebrew,

because he likes it when you make mistakes.

But don't tell him I told you.

I'm sorry I'm not home.

But I want you to remember that you are my favorite boy in the world.

And that I love you more than anything, and I always will.

I promise you, you'll have siblings.

I promise.

I promise.

Hey.

Hey.

-What is it? -I had a test done. I'm not pregnant.

Neither am I.

-I know how much you want this. -Hey, hey.

Don't.

Don't blame yourself. We're in this together, okay?

Don't worry.

You'll get pregnant soon. I promise.

I'm going to wash away this filthy day off of me.

-Are you coming? -In a little bit.

Okay.

Don't go to work tomorrow.

I embarrassed you.
