1
00:01:15,335 --> 00:01:18,065
A hundred years ago
in a shelter near Pinsk...
2
00:01:18,171 --> 00:01:21,004
a young girl ran off into the woods.
3
00:01:21,107 --> 00:01:24,975
Her father wanted her to marry a scholar
from the Pinsker yeshiva...
4
00:01:25,078 --> 00:01:29,515
but for some reason,
maybe she was a little crazy, who knows?
5
00:01:29,616 --> 00:01:32,608
She didn't want to.
Anyhow, she ran away.
6
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:35,950
- She ran away from home?
- Yeah.
7
00:01:36,055 --> 00:01:38,387
It was in the middle of winter.
8
00:01:38,491 --> 00:01:40,823
She wandered into the forest.
9
00:01:40,927 --> 00:01:43,794
At first, no one at home
even knew she ran away.
10
00:01:43,897 --> 00:01:46,923
They thought she got lost
in the snow somewhere and died.
11
00:01:47,033 --> 00:01:50,867
They looked and looked for her,
but they never found her body.
12
00:01:50,970 --> 00:01:53,336
They decided the wolves
ate her up.
13
00:01:55,642 --> 00:01:59,373
Shh, Yossi, they'll hear us.
14
00:01:59,479 --> 00:02:03,108
Yossi, they'll kill us
if they find you here.
15
00:02:03,216 --> 00:02:07,744
No, they'll just kill me. I'm your
older brother so it falls on me.
16
00:02:07,854 --> 00:02:10,755
I'm the only one around here
gettin' killed.
17
00:02:10,857 --> 00:02:13,655
But, Yossi,
I love you more than anything.
18
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,820
More than Papa or Imma.
More than anything.
19
00:02:16,930 --> 00:02:19,194
- More than God?
- A million times more.
20
00:02:19,299 --> 00:02:23,065
You're a sinner! You're supposed to
love God above everything.
21
00:02:23,169 --> 00:02:25,228
And after that,
your father and mother.
22
00:02:25,338 --> 00:02:28,432
The Torah doesn't even say anything
about brothers and sisters.
23
00:02:28,541 --> 00:02:32,170
- Then we'll add it in.
- You can't add anything to the Torah, dunce!
24
00:02:32,278 --> 00:02:35,076
It's finished.
It's the Word of God and that's that.
25
00:02:35,181 --> 00:02:38,048
Not even the greatest scholar
can change a letter of it.
26
00:02:38,151 --> 00:02:41,086
Then we'll write
our own Torah.
27
00:02:43,690 --> 00:02:46,454
It was the longest, hardest winter
anyone could remember.
28
00:02:46,559 --> 00:02:51,496
They sat shiva in Pinsk
for the girl who had disappeared.
29
00:02:51,598 --> 00:02:56,035
And everyone went on
with their business until one day...
30
00:02:56,135 --> 00:02:59,832
just as suddenly as she had disappeared,
the girl came back into town.
31
00:02:59,939 --> 00:03:03,500
She was also, you know,
carrying a baby in her stomach.
32
00:03:03,610 --> 00:03:05,441
She was pregnant.
33
00:03:05,545 --> 00:03:07,911
In Pinsk, they said,
she got lost in the snow...
34
00:03:08,014 --> 00:03:12,314
and was saved by a demon
who made her his wife.
35
00:03:12,418 --> 00:03:15,979
That spring the woman had a baby,
a baby girl.
36
00:03:16,089 --> 00:03:19,217
- They called her Yitta.
- Baba Yitta?
37
00:03:19,325 --> 00:03:23,318
That's right. Our whole
family's descended from Baba Yitta.
38
00:03:23,429 --> 00:03:26,956
If you don't watch out,
you're gonna end up just like her.
39
00:03:27,066 --> 00:03:28,533
Like how?
40
00:03:28,635 --> 00:03:33,095
When she was real old and finally died,
Baba Yitta went up to heaven.
41
00:03:33,206 --> 00:03:36,972
But God didn't want her,
so He sent her down to hell.
42
00:03:37,076 --> 00:03:41,172
But when she got there,
Satan recognized her as his niece.
43
00:03:41,281 --> 00:03:44,079
He couldn't bring himself
to make her suffer in hell...
44
00:03:44,183 --> 00:03:46,981
so he sent her back
up here to our world...
45
00:03:47,086 --> 00:03:51,819
where she wanders the earth like Cain,
alone forever.
46
00:03:51,924 --> 00:03:54,119
Poor Baba Yitta.
47
00:03:54,227 --> 00:03:57,719
Don't cry.
Remember what day it is?
48
00:04:04,404 --> 00:04:07,168
Happy birthday.
49
00:04:11,044 --> 00:04:12,978
A ruby!
50
00:04:15,815 --> 00:04:19,751
I bought it from Papa's shop
with my savings.
51
00:04:23,056 --> 00:04:24,990
It's fake!
52
00:04:25,091 --> 00:04:30,188
It's the fake one Papa took out of
that ring. He was gonna throw it away.
53
00:04:38,071 --> 00:04:42,770
- Hey, what are you doing?
- I'm going out to the lake.
54
00:04:42,875 --> 00:04:45,241
But, Yossi,
you're not supposed to.
55
00:04:45,345 --> 00:04:47,245
Imma says with your asthma
you could choke up and-
56
00:04:47,347 --> 00:04:50,475
I'm the only boy around here
who can't swim.
57
00:04:50,583 --> 00:04:53,245
I've been watching everybody else,
and I know what to do.
58
00:04:53,353 --> 00:04:55,253
No one's even gonna be there
to see you swim.
59
00:04:55,355 --> 00:04:59,052
They won't know you did it anyway,
so what's the point?
60
00:05:05,898 --> 00:05:07,832
You'll know.
61
00:05:12,004 --> 00:05:13,972
Yossi!
62
00:05:16,743 --> 00:05:19,507
Yossi!
63
00:05:22,882 --> 00:05:24,975
Yossi!
64
00:05:25,084 --> 00:05:27,609
Good job.
65
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,656
Okay, very good. That's it. Come on.
66
00:05:36,662 --> 00:05:38,926
Wonderful job, dear.
67
00:05:39,031 --> 00:05:40,931
We'll take care of him.
68
00:05:41,033 --> 00:05:43,126
You have a beautiful baby.
69
00:05:44,804 --> 00:05:48,672
You were calling out
the name "Yossi," Mrs. Horowitz.
70
00:05:48,775 --> 00:05:51,903
Is that the name
you'd like to give your son?
71
00:05:58,117 --> 00:06:01,382
Sonia, it'll be all right.
72
00:06:01,487 --> 00:06:04,547
Sonia, where are you going?
73
00:06:26,312 --> 00:06:30,112
Easy, Sonia. You're turning my only
grandchild into a tube of toothpaste.
74
00:06:30,216 --> 00:06:34,380
He's like a sacrifice.
They're gonna sacrifice my baby.
75
00:06:34,487 --> 00:06:38,583
If your father, olov hasholem,
wasn't already in his grave...
76
00:06:38,691 --> 00:06:42,218
you would put him in it with
the spectacle you're making of yourself.
77
00:06:42,328 --> 00:06:44,353
Shimmie's gonna be just fine.
Look at those men.
78
00:06:44,464 --> 00:06:47,831
Every one of them had the same
thing, and they're perfectly normal.
79
00:06:47,934 --> 00:06:50,494
Well, not my baby, not today.
80
00:06:53,072 --> 00:06:55,540
Hey, hey,
where are you going?
81
00:06:55,641 --> 00:06:58,667
My brother told me he married a smart
girl, he married a pretty girl...
82
00:06:58,778 --> 00:07:01,747
but he never told me
he married such a chicken.
83
00:07:01,848 --> 00:07:05,249
Be proud, Sonia. This is the moment
your son becomes a Jew.
84
00:07:08,654 --> 00:07:11,122
- Bring up the boy, please.
- No, wait.
85
00:07:11,224 --> 00:07:14,057
It's okay? You checked?
It's sharp, no nicks or anything?
86
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,151
- You checked?
- Trust me.
87
00:07:16,262 --> 00:07:19,163
Okay, double check. Check again
to make sure everything's okay.
88
00:07:19,265 --> 00:07:21,256
Oh, it's hot.
It's like an oven in here.
89
00:07:21,367 --> 00:07:24,268
I don't want my son cooking in this
oven. Can somebody open a window, please?
90
00:07:24,370 --> 00:07:27,771
You've been coming to this shul for 23 years.
When was the last time you saw an open window?
91
00:07:27,874 --> 00:07:31,105
- What kind of building for people doesn't have an open window?
- When was the last time?
92
00:07:35,481 --> 00:07:38,882
Sonia, come on.
93
00:07:38,985 --> 00:07:40,885
Come on.
94
00:07:44,457 --> 00:07:46,516
Shh.
95
00:07:46,626 --> 00:07:49,891
Don't you drop him.
96
00:07:50,630 --> 00:07:52,962
Careful.
97
00:08:04,777 --> 00:08:07,268
Don't any one of you
dare drop him.
98
00:08:08,781 --> 00:08:11,011
Nice girl you married.
99
00:08:11,117 --> 00:08:13,210
How about the doors?
Maybe somebody could open the door.
100
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,777
Maybe we could get a draft.
Baruch, maybe you could get us a draft.
101
00:08:16,889 --> 00:08:21,451
- A draft of what?
- Air, Baruch! So my son doesn't choke to death in this.
102
00:08:21,561 --> 00:08:24,553
I'm looking forward to knowing her better
now that we're going to be neighbors.
103
00:08:30,436 --> 00:08:35,806
I talked to Reb Fedder. You got the job
teaching at the yeshiva in Boro Park.
104
00:08:35,908 --> 00:08:39,105
I already found you an apartment on 45th
Street. It's a stone's throw from by me.
105
00:08:39,211 --> 00:08:42,044
And the Rebbe?
I'm going to be close to the Rebbe?
106
00:08:42,148 --> 00:08:45,481
Three blocks from the Rebbe's house.
That's where you're gonna be.
107
00:08:45,585 --> 00:08:48,713
You'll pray with the Rebbe, you'll hear
the Rebbe's fabrengen every shabbes.
108
00:08:48,821 --> 00:08:52,450
- You'll be up to your ears with the Rebbe.
- I, I don't know what to say.
109
00:08:52,558 --> 00:08:56,654
Only that Sender Horowitz
always looks out for his family...
110
00:08:56,762 --> 00:08:59,822
especially his favorite
kid brother.
111
00:09:08,274 --> 00:09:10,299
Mendel.
112
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,554
It's easier if you don't watch.
113
00:09:30,663 --> 00:09:33,154
If they can do it,
I can watch it.
114
00:09:36,836 --> 00:09:39,100
Amen.
115
00:09:57,790 --> 00:10:00,884
It's fantastic!
116
00:10:00,993 --> 00:10:03,791
So many different kinds of people.
117
00:10:03,896 --> 00:10:07,059
- Fantastic and not so fantastic.
- Why not fantastic?
118
00:10:07,166 --> 00:10:10,499
- Lots of people, lots of influences.
- They could be good influences.
119
00:10:10,603 --> 00:10:13,401
Sometimes good,
sometimes not so good.
120
00:10:17,877 --> 00:10:19,777
Go around, nu.
121
00:10:19,879 --> 00:10:23,315
- There's no room for a car to pass.
- There's plenty of room for a car.
122
00:10:23,416 --> 00:10:26,908
Unfortunately we're not in a car.
We're in this ridiculous boat.
123
00:10:27,019 --> 00:10:30,921
- It's a station wagon.
- Whoever heard of a station wagon for three people?
124
00:10:31,023 --> 00:10:34,390
- You could fit a family of 12 in this thing.
- God willing.
125
00:10:40,933 --> 00:10:45,893
Sonia, I know you're still mad at me
because I named Shimmie after the Rebbe.
126
00:10:46,005 --> 00:10:47,939
But he's our first son...
127
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,501
and I feel he should be invested with
the highest level of spirituality.
128
00:10:53,612 --> 00:10:56,740
We can name our next boy Yossi.
129
00:10:56,849 --> 00:10:58,874
Hmm?
130
00:11:04,557 --> 00:11:06,457
The Rebbe.
131
00:11:12,965 --> 00:11:15,934
A few pennies, young rebbe.
A little change for a woman...
132
00:11:16,035 --> 00:11:18,299
who's been too long
on her tired feet.
133
00:11:18,404 --> 00:11:21,168
- But my wife has all our money.
- It's been such a long time.
134
00:11:21,273 --> 00:11:23,400
Four years.
135
00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:25,670
Such a long time.
136
00:11:26,812 --> 00:11:30,680
A thousand blessings
on your house.
137
00:11:33,719 --> 00:11:36,279
Don't worry, bubbie,
it won't bite.
138
00:11:38,624 --> 00:11:40,683
Bless you.
139
00:11:43,429 --> 00:11:45,329
For what?
140
00:11:48,634 --> 00:11:50,534
It's the Rebbe.
141
00:11:58,244 --> 00:12:00,542
And so God picked that
humble, little mountain...
142
00:12:00,646 --> 00:12:02,978
on which to present
His greatest gift.
143
00:12:03,082 --> 00:12:07,178
The gift of His Torah.
144
00:12:07,286 --> 00:12:10,687
But the question still remained:
To who was He going to give such a gift?
145
00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:13,987
So God set out on a journey to find
which amongst the nations of the earth...
146
00:12:14,093 --> 00:12:16,653
was worthy of receiving His Torah.
147
00:12:16,762 --> 00:12:20,289
God went to the Goyim in Canaan
and he asked them...
148
00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:22,924
"Look what I have for you.
149
00:12:23,035 --> 00:12:25,731
It's the Torah.
150
00:12:25,838 --> 00:12:27,567
- Do you want my Torah?"
- No!
151
00:12:27,673 --> 00:12:30,437
No, of course not.
No, no, not this.
152
00:12:30,543 --> 00:12:36,379
Maybe something lighter like this sweet floral
pattern here, or this nice blue chiffon look.
153
00:12:36,482 --> 00:12:38,677
Personally, I'd recommend
something light and airy...
154
00:12:38,784 --> 00:12:41,275
to complement the charming atmosphere
of your home.
155
00:12:41,387 --> 00:12:44,185
Charming means "small," right?
156
00:12:44,290 --> 00:12:47,885
I assume you'll be hanging curtains in the
living room as well as in the kitchen...
157
00:12:47,993 --> 00:12:50,325
which opens up
a whole range of choices.
158
00:12:50,429 --> 00:12:52,989
For instance, you could decide
on an atmosphere of integration...
159
00:12:53,098 --> 00:12:55,225
and unify the space
with a single theme...
160
00:12:55,334 --> 00:12:57,996
or you could separate
the rooms visually.
161
00:12:58,103 --> 00:13:01,231
Different looks, different atmospheres,
different states of mind.
162
00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:03,501
America!
163
00:13:03,609 --> 00:13:06,703
Yes, God came to America.
164
00:13:06,812 --> 00:13:10,612
And also he asked the American Goyim,
"Do you want my Torah?"
165
00:13:10,716 --> 00:13:14,208
And also they asked,
"Tell us what is in it first. "
166
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,689
"Honor thy father and thy mother. "
167
00:13:18,791 --> 00:13:22,056
"Nah! Respect our parents?
I don't think so.
168
00:13:22,161 --> 00:13:26,120
Get that thing. What do you call it?
Torah? Get it out of here?"
169
00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:31,395
So, God came...
170
00:13:31,503 --> 00:13:34,404
to Israel.
171
00:13:34,506 --> 00:13:37,407
"Israel," He asked us...
172
00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:41,741
"Jews, do you want my Torah?"
173
00:13:41,847 --> 00:13:44,315
And what did they answer?
174
00:13:44,416 --> 00:13:47,385
"Naaseh ve nishmah!"
175
00:13:47,486 --> 00:13:51,946
Quiet down. You're wrecking your aunt's
new apartment before she's moved into it.
176
00:13:52,057 --> 00:13:55,220
In one case,
the apartment is a whole, unified.
177
00:13:55,327 --> 00:13:59,457
In the other, the living room is the
living room, the kitchen is the kitchen.
178
00:13:59,565 --> 00:14:02,090
You're cooking all day.
You're exhausted.
179
00:14:02,201 --> 00:14:05,728
You walk out of the kitchen and presto,
it's like you're in another world.
180
00:14:05,838 --> 00:14:08,864
One of us here is completely insane
and I think it's you.
181
00:14:08,974 --> 00:14:11,033
But you're gonna have company real soon
if I have to listen...
182
00:14:11,143 --> 00:14:13,077
to one more word of this meshugas.
183
00:14:13,178 --> 00:14:16,636
- Aunt Sonia, I think the baby's hungry.
- Come here, sweetheart.
184
00:14:19,952 --> 00:14:21,943
Shh, shh.
185
00:14:33,732 --> 00:14:35,723
Shh, shh.
186
00:14:37,269 --> 00:14:41,933
Shh, shh.
187
00:14:42,041 --> 00:14:45,636
Listen to me.
Sit down!
188
00:14:53,485 --> 00:14:56,113
Are you all right?
I know it can hurt sometimes.
189
00:14:56,221 --> 00:14:58,485
It doesn't hurt.
190
00:14:58,590 --> 00:15:02,549
Here. It's too, um-
191
00:16:18,871 --> 00:16:21,135
Mendel?
192
00:16:29,148 --> 00:16:31,582
Didn't you pray already?
193
00:16:44,163 --> 00:16:46,961
I wasn't praying.
194
00:16:49,568 --> 00:16:51,695
I was learning a little Mishnah.
195
00:16:51,804 --> 00:16:55,001
- Anything good?
- Yes, it's all good.
196
00:16:59,011 --> 00:17:03,573
- Can't we leave it on? Just for a while?
- Sonia.
197
00:18:04,843 --> 00:18:08,279
Enough, Sonia.
198
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:10,746
Enough!
199
00:18:14,019 --> 00:18:16,681
Sonia, enough!
200
00:18:19,858 --> 00:18:22,691
- Enough what?
- Just enough.
201
00:18:22,794 --> 00:18:26,286
- It's indecent.
- Making love to your wife is indecent?
202
00:18:26,398 --> 00:18:29,731
Making love to your wife
like that is.
203
00:18:29,835 --> 00:18:31,769
We're not alone, Sonia.
204
00:18:31,870 --> 00:18:34,065
We're under the eyes of God.
205
00:18:34,173 --> 00:18:36,937
The Talmud teaches a man to love
his wife, and I try. God knows I try.
206
00:18:37,042 --> 00:18:41,445
But for a man it's supposed to be different.
It's supposed to be a mitzvah, a holy act.
207
00:18:41,547 --> 00:18:44,277
And I'm supposed to think exalted
thoughts in order to sanctify it.
208
00:18:44,383 --> 00:18:47,546
And I'm supposed to enjoy this,
I'm supposed to enjoy myself knowing...
209
00:18:47,653 --> 00:18:51,612
you're up there thinking about Abraham
and Isaac and the Rebbe while-
210
00:18:51,723 --> 00:18:55,921
God forbid! God forbid you talk
that way about the Rebbe!
211
00:19:18,917 --> 00:19:22,045
Sonia, I'm sorry.
212
00:19:22,154 --> 00:19:25,282
I'm sorry I raised my voice to you.
213
00:19:30,729 --> 00:19:32,629
I'm sorry.
214
00:19:53,252 --> 00:19:55,186
Can I play a little?
215
00:19:55,287 --> 00:19:59,951
Of course.
A little's okay.
216
00:20:20,812 --> 00:20:24,043
Amen.
217
00:20:24,149 --> 00:20:27,949
You don't have to eat it. Just put it
in your mouth and chew a little.
218
00:20:28,053 --> 00:20:31,022
- He's not hungry.
- Are you his mother? No.
219
00:20:31,123 --> 00:20:33,819
So how do you know
he's not hungry?
220
00:20:33,925 --> 00:20:36,655
So God spared the Moabites.
The reason being...
221
00:20:36,762 --> 00:20:38,662
- Mendel.
- that Ruth's family was living among them.
222
00:20:38,764 --> 00:20:41,392
Wait. He's giving a dvar Torah.
It's nice. Please listen.
223
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:45,231
- It's just a story.
- It's still a dvar Torah.
224
00:20:45,337 --> 00:20:49,797
Why didn't God allow Ruth's family to
survive an attack? He could've done that.
225
00:20:49,908 --> 00:20:52,342
The answer to the question is
of course God could've done it.
226
00:20:52,444 --> 00:20:55,140
But a young girl needs a mother.
And a mother needs a husband.
227
00:20:55,247 --> 00:20:59,013
- And a family needs a house.
- What else? Maybe a VCR and a video recorder?
228
00:20:59,117 --> 00:21:01,517
And they need someone
to make their clothes.
229
00:21:01,620 --> 00:21:03,713
Why don't you shush everyone up
so your son can finish?
230
00:21:03,822 --> 00:21:07,314
- He's a man. He can make himself heard.
- But nobody's listening.
231
00:21:07,426 --> 00:21:09,587
- He won't eat.
- Who are you to tell me what to do?
232
00:21:09,695 --> 00:21:11,890
- He's not gonna eat.
- Obviously you're a better mother than I am.
233
00:21:11,997 --> 00:21:16,331
It shows us how family is so important,
even the evil Moabites were spared by God...
234
00:21:16,435 --> 00:21:18,665
because they were needed
in order to bring up Ruth.
235
00:21:18,770 --> 00:21:20,237
- Yasher.
- Yasher coach.
236
00:21:20,339 --> 00:21:22,000
Yasher coach.
237
00:21:22,107 --> 00:21:24,940
Keep it up and you'll be a great scholar
like your Uncle Mendel.
238
00:21:25,043 --> 00:21:27,534
Please, I'm not so great just yet.
239
00:21:27,646 --> 00:21:29,580
Modesty is becoming
unless it's false.
240
00:21:29,681 --> 00:21:33,549
All I hear at the yeshiva these days is
"Mendel said this, Mendel said that. "
241
00:21:33,652 --> 00:21:35,677
Like the Rambam came
to learn by them.
242
00:21:35,787 --> 00:21:39,018
While we're on the subject
of the yeshiva...
243
00:21:39,124 --> 00:21:41,092
the other day a young boy,
one of my students...
244
00:21:41,193 --> 00:21:43,821
asked me a question
I couldn't really answer.
245
00:21:43,929 --> 00:21:48,593
His father says it's okay to steal
as long as you steal from Goyim.
246
00:21:48,700 --> 00:21:52,727
His teacher tells him
stealing from anyone is a sin.
247
00:21:52,838 --> 00:21:54,999
So if he agrees with his teacher,
he's disrespecting his father.
248
00:21:55,107 --> 00:21:57,302
But if he agrees with his father,
he's honoring a thief...
249
00:21:57,409 --> 00:22:00,003
and in danger
of becoming one himself.
250
00:22:00,112 --> 00:22:03,548
- It's a tough question.
Only because you're a scholar.
251
00:22:10,155 --> 00:22:14,251
If it's just an opinion and the boy
disagrees with it, that's all right.
252
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,157
You can respect those
you disagree with.
253
00:22:17,262 --> 00:22:19,787
But if his father
really is a thief...
254
00:22:19,898 --> 00:22:22,560
then the boy should keep
his nose in his own business...
255
00:22:22,667 --> 00:22:25,465
so he doesn't have to judge
what he doesn't know about.
256
00:22:46,391 --> 00:22:49,986
Hey, those little fingers
are gonna get chopped off...
257
00:22:50,095 --> 00:22:52,256
if they wander
where they don't belong.
258
00:22:52,364 --> 00:22:55,299
Tsipi, please take care
of your brother.
259
00:22:58,236 --> 00:23:01,034
- Here.
- Oh, please, Sonia, tonight you don't need to work.
260
00:23:01,139 --> 00:23:05,576
- You should be inside with Mendel and the baby.
- No, it's okay, it's okay.
261
00:23:05,677 --> 00:23:08,305
It's such a wonderful meal.
I have to do something.
262
00:23:08,413 --> 00:23:10,108
And you have such a beautiful home.
Thank you.
263
00:23:10,215 --> 00:23:14,208
Baruch haShem. The kids are healthy,
they have what to eat.
264
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:16,514
That's what's important.
265
00:23:16,621 --> 00:23:18,521
Here.
266
00:23:32,304 --> 00:23:34,295
Do you have a second?
267
00:23:43,081 --> 00:23:45,413
Relax.
268
00:23:45,517 --> 00:23:48,350
It's not for you.
I just want your opinion.
269
00:23:57,128 --> 00:23:59,494
My principal buyer
came across it.
270
00:23:59,598 --> 00:24:04,058
It's an antique brooch from Paris,
circa 1880, from Querelle.
271
00:24:04,169 --> 00:24:06,797
That's an eight-carat emerald
set in gold.
272
00:24:06,905 --> 00:24:10,966
My wife's birthday is coming up,
so I thought I'd surprise her.
273
00:24:11,076 --> 00:24:15,877
- It's beautiful!
- Five thousand bucks! What a bargain, huh?
274
00:24:17,115 --> 00:24:19,015
Yeah.
275
00:24:19,117 --> 00:24:22,348
- You did great.
- Bullshit.
276
00:24:22,454 --> 00:24:25,355
I understand your father,
may his memory be a blessing...
277
00:24:25,457 --> 00:24:28,051
was the finest gemologist
in the state.
278
00:24:28,159 --> 00:24:32,027
I also understand you picked up
a thing or two from him.
279
00:24:40,939 --> 00:24:44,841
Querelle never designed
a base like this.
280
00:24:44,943 --> 00:24:48,344
I can't tell you what the date on it is,
but it is not 1880.
281
00:24:48,446 --> 00:24:51,347
I also think if you check on this stone,
you'll find it's just a composite...
282
00:24:51,449 --> 00:24:56,580
a layer of emerald fused with glass and then
backed by foil to give it all that brilliance.
283
00:24:56,688 --> 00:24:58,588
It's excellent work.
284
00:24:58,690 --> 00:25:02,353
But I wouldn't price it
at a dime over 800 bucks.
285
00:25:02,460 --> 00:25:05,224
Why didn't you go
into the business?
286
00:25:05,330 --> 00:25:09,630
Because my parents didn't want me
mixing with unsavory characters.
287
00:25:09,734 --> 00:25:15,400
They wanted me to marry a great scholar,
and live a decent, spiritual Jewish life.
288
00:25:15,507 --> 00:25:17,407
Did you?
289
00:25:20,278 --> 00:25:22,940
Did you marry a great scholar?
290
00:25:24,382 --> 00:25:27,715
Well, that I'm not qualified
to answer.
291
00:25:27,819 --> 00:25:29,912
But I know I married a tzaddik.
292
00:25:30,021 --> 00:25:34,424
A holy man? Don't you think our Mendel's
a little young for such distinction?
293
00:25:34,526 --> 00:25:37,552
Age has nothing
to do with it.
294
00:25:37,662 --> 00:25:40,426
Either you're born with the heart
of a tzaddik or you're not.
295
00:25:40,532 --> 00:25:42,625
And your heart?
296
00:25:43,935 --> 00:25:46,995
Is it in your heart to be
the wife of a tzaddik?
297
00:25:49,074 --> 00:25:52,339
All right, dessert's on the table.
298
00:26:05,624 --> 00:26:07,558
Sonia.
299
00:26:07,659 --> 00:26:09,593
Sonia?
300
00:26:10,695 --> 00:26:13,391
Gottenyu!
You're red as a beet.
301
00:26:13,498 --> 00:26:16,797
And hot like an oven.
You're burning with fever, poor thing.
302
00:26:16,901 --> 00:26:19,495
Why didn't you say something?
303
00:26:21,940 --> 00:26:23,999
Sit, sit on the bed.
304
00:26:26,645 --> 00:26:28,909
You're having a panic attack.
305
00:26:29,014 --> 00:26:32,006
Breathe.
Slowly breathe.
306
00:26:33,118 --> 00:26:35,780
Your muscles are like iron knots.
307
00:26:35,887 --> 00:26:38,549
Just relax and breathe.
308
00:26:38,657 --> 00:26:40,557
Good.
309
00:26:40,659 --> 00:26:43,856
It must be overwhelming for you.
310
00:26:43,962 --> 00:26:48,296
A new city, a new family,
all these new pressures.
311
00:26:50,568 --> 00:26:53,196
You're just wound up too tight.
312
00:26:54,406 --> 00:26:56,636
Just relax and breathe.
313
00:26:56,741 --> 00:26:59,301
Relax.
314
00:26:59,411 --> 00:27:01,902
I know it can be hard sometimes.
315
00:27:02,013 --> 00:27:05,380
It's a new neighborhood,
new people.
316
00:27:05,483 --> 00:27:07,383
You'll be all right.
317
00:27:07,485 --> 00:27:11,353
You just need to breathe.
Just relax and breathe.
318
00:27:19,297 --> 00:27:21,197
Sonia, my God!
319
00:27:24,903 --> 00:27:28,031
What's gotten into you?
You need help.
320
00:27:31,876 --> 00:27:33,969
The Rebbe will see you now.
321
00:27:41,619 --> 00:27:45,578
You know, some of these others have been
waiting longer. Maybe another day might be-
322
00:27:45,690 --> 00:27:49,353
Sonia, don't make a scene, please.
Okay?
323
00:27:50,462 --> 00:27:52,362
Go on.
324
00:28:00,338 --> 00:28:04,274
Come on in, Mrs. Horowitz.
325
00:28:13,551 --> 00:28:15,815
Take a seat.
326
00:28:20,291 --> 00:28:23,783
I understand your husband
is a truly inspired teacher...
327
00:28:23,895 --> 00:28:26,591
as well as a great scholar.
328
00:28:26,698 --> 00:28:31,260
Filling the hearts of our children
with a love of Torah...
329
00:28:31,369 --> 00:28:35,965
is the greatest mitzvah of all
in God's eyes.
330
00:28:39,978 --> 00:28:42,572
He's making you nervous?
331
00:28:44,549 --> 00:28:46,779
Get my wife right away.
332
00:28:59,130 --> 00:29:02,156
I understand you're troubled.
333
00:29:07,172 --> 00:29:09,640
I don't know what to say.
334
00:29:10,742 --> 00:29:13,006
I can't find the words.
335
00:29:14,212 --> 00:29:17,306
The Almighty gave you
a soul to nurture.
336
00:29:17,415 --> 00:29:20,873
He gave you a body
in which to house it.
337
00:29:20,985 --> 00:29:25,684
He gave you a mind in order
to understand your soul's needs.
338
00:29:25,790 --> 00:29:30,193
And He gave you a tongue
in order to express them.
339
00:29:32,063 --> 00:29:37,296
If the desire to hear your soul
is strong enough...
340
00:29:37,402 --> 00:29:39,427
you'll find the words.
341
00:29:41,172 --> 00:29:46,769
I don't even know where my body ends
and my soul begins.
342
00:29:48,379 --> 00:29:52,839
I felt, ever since
I was a very young girl...
343
00:29:52,951 --> 00:29:58,150
like there was a fire...
344
00:29:58,256 --> 00:30:02,124
inside of me.
345
00:30:02,227 --> 00:30:05,856
It used to be nice.
It kept me warm.
346
00:30:08,533 --> 00:30:11,559
But it's been getting hotter.
347
00:30:14,305 --> 00:30:16,205
It-
348
00:30:18,309 --> 00:30:21,642
It makes my stomach burn...
349
00:30:21,746 --> 00:30:24,772
and my nerves and my skin.
350
00:30:24,883 --> 00:30:28,080
I can hardly put on a shirt.
351
00:30:29,287 --> 00:30:33,815
I can't even breast feed my child.
352
00:30:33,925 --> 00:30:36,223
It's too hot!
353
00:30:36,327 --> 00:30:39,091
Everything is too hot.
354
00:30:40,999 --> 00:30:43,593
Every touch burns me.
355
00:30:46,905 --> 00:30:49,499
I have no soul.
356
00:30:49,607 --> 00:30:53,008
The Almighty gave every one
of us a soul!
357
00:30:53,111 --> 00:30:58,845
Whatever torment you are suffering,
you must always remember that.
358
00:30:58,950 --> 00:31:00,918
You have a soul!
359
00:31:01,019 --> 00:31:06,321
Maybe. But if I do,
it wasn't God who gave it to me.
360
00:31:14,065 --> 00:31:16,556
"In defiance of Biblical prophesy...
361
00:31:16,668 --> 00:31:19,364
and the holy redemption
of the Jewish people...
362
00:31:19,470 --> 00:31:22,701
through God's grace alone,
Boro Park's Rebbe Moishe Myerson...
363
00:31:22,807 --> 00:31:26,368
has demonstrated that he is little more
than a gentile heretic...
364
00:31:26,477 --> 00:31:28,502
in the guise of a Jew. "
365
00:31:28,613 --> 00:31:31,173
Who do these people think they are?
366
00:31:31,282 --> 00:31:33,807
They've gone too far this time,
these fanatics.
367
00:31:33,918 --> 00:31:39,049
Rebbe, please tell us you won't let this
attack go without a stinging rebuttal.
368
00:31:39,157 --> 00:31:41,648
Rebbe?
369
00:31:45,530 --> 00:31:48,624
If you prefer,
we can compose a letter.
370
00:31:48,733 --> 00:31:52,499
- Tomorrow. - But, Rebbe, if we
wait till tomorrow, this article-
371
00:31:52,603 --> 00:31:54,867
I said tomorrow!
372
00:32:12,890 --> 00:32:15,017
Guess who!
373
00:32:16,894 --> 00:32:21,092
Have you gone crazy?
You could give a person a heart attack.
374
00:32:21,199 --> 00:32:23,565
Ah.
Something smells good!
375
00:32:23,668 --> 00:32:27,536
- It's the cholent. I'm making it
special for- - No, no, it's not that.
376
00:32:33,878 --> 00:32:36,870
It's you that smells so good.
377
00:32:36,981 --> 00:32:38,949
God forgive me.
378
00:32:39,050 --> 00:32:43,453
But I think it's 20 years
since I told you how beautiful you look.
379
00:32:43,554 --> 00:32:47,786
It's been 20 years
since I looked beautiful.
380
00:32:47,892 --> 00:32:52,158
Moishe! You've heard
too many evil stories today.
381
00:32:52,263 --> 00:32:55,562
Sometimes it's the exposure to evil
that brings out our best side.
382
00:32:55,666 --> 00:32:58,191
Look, you shouldn't get
so excited.
383
00:32:58,302 --> 00:33:00,361
The doctor says you can't
allow yourself to get-
384
00:33:00,471 --> 00:33:04,874
Oh, what doctor?
What do doctors know about love?
385
00:33:22,727 --> 00:33:25,855
When the Rebbe's heart
stopped beating last night...
386
00:33:25,963 --> 00:33:28,659
we lost more than just a man.
387
00:33:30,701 --> 00:33:36,196
For his was a heart that beat not only
to maintain the life of one man...
388
00:33:36,307 --> 00:33:41,768
it beat to maintain the vital circulation
of the entire nation of Israel.
389
00:33:43,047 --> 00:33:45,277
And who can even begin
to understand...
390
00:33:45,383 --> 00:33:50,548
what force could be strong enough
to still such a heart?
391
00:33:50,655 --> 00:33:53,123
What kind of a terrible power...
392
00:33:53,224 --> 00:33:56,682
could have caused such a tragedy?
393
00:33:56,794 --> 00:33:59,592
When the Rebbe's heart
stopped beating last night...
394
00:33:59,697 --> 00:34:02,188
we lost our own Moishe Rebbenu...
395
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:07,135
who led us from the depths of the
holocaust and reinvigorated an entire-
396
00:34:31,929 --> 00:34:34,864
Sonia, what did she say?
397
00:34:34,966 --> 00:34:37,059
Sonia?
398
00:34:54,619 --> 00:34:58,077
Shh.
399
00:34:58,189 --> 00:35:00,817
Shh. I know.
400
00:35:00,925 --> 00:35:03,792
Oh. Shh.
401
00:35:06,430 --> 00:35:08,694
Shh.
402
00:35:35,826 --> 00:35:38,351
Why are you hiding?
403
00:35:43,034 --> 00:35:45,434
There's nobody here but you.
404
00:35:45,536 --> 00:35:47,663
Who are you hiding from?
405
00:36:07,325 --> 00:36:10,226
Are you cold?
406
00:36:11,429 --> 00:36:13,329
Mendel isn't home.
407
00:36:13,431 --> 00:36:17,663
I know.
Can I come in?
408
00:36:38,789 --> 00:36:41,417
Actually it was you I came for.
409
00:36:43,761 --> 00:36:47,128
I want to offer you a job.
410
00:36:50,668 --> 00:36:54,764
Your analysis of the brooch I showed you
last shabbes was right on the money.
411
00:36:59,176 --> 00:37:02,304
I want you to run my store
here in Boro Park.
412
00:37:04,482 --> 00:37:06,575
I thought you worked in Manhattan.
413
00:37:06,684 --> 00:37:10,347
I didn't know you had a store
here in the neighborhood.
414
00:37:10,454 --> 00:37:12,786
That's because I don't.
415
00:37:12,890 --> 00:37:16,257
At least not officially.
416
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,158
It's a basement a few blocks away.
417
00:37:19,263 --> 00:37:23,927
From there, I see a select variety
of jewelry, only the very finest pieces.
418
00:37:25,469 --> 00:37:29,166
My buyer Heschel has impeccable taste,
but he's getting old.
419
00:37:29,273 --> 00:37:31,366
I want you to take over for him.
420
00:37:33,277 --> 00:37:35,336
Hmm? Go into the city
three days a week...
421
00:37:35,446 --> 00:37:39,382
and pick out only the best pieces
you come across.
422
00:37:39,483 --> 00:37:44,182
There should be no more than 30 or 40
pieces in the store at any given time.
423
00:37:44,288 --> 00:37:46,518
Three days a week,
you stay in the store to sell...
424
00:37:46,624 --> 00:37:48,592
but the other three
you'll be in the city...
425
00:37:48,693 --> 00:37:52,094
on 47th street, all over.
426
00:37:52,196 --> 00:37:56,257
Sometimes even out of state
for a few days on a special buy.
427
00:37:56,367 --> 00:37:59,063
What do you say?
428
00:38:01,539 --> 00:38:03,837
Ah, oh, well-
429
00:38:03,941 --> 00:38:06,239
Well, I'm a mother now.
430
00:38:06,344 --> 00:38:11,441
Half the mothers in Boro Park are running
cash businesses out of their own basements.
431
00:38:11,549 --> 00:38:15,212
The days that you're in the city, you
can leave Shimmie by my wife or by Rachel.
432
00:38:15,319 --> 00:38:19,346
- The other days you keep him with you in the store.
- Oh, what does Mendel say?
433
00:38:19,457 --> 00:38:21,857
Does it matter?
434
00:38:24,395 --> 00:38:27,421
Does he even know about it?
435
00:38:27,531 --> 00:38:30,091
I thought I'd let you tell him.
436
00:38:35,606 --> 00:38:38,734
A cash business means no taxes paid,
and no taxes paid means theft.
437
00:38:38,843 --> 00:38:41,243
Even if it is from
the government, it's a sin.
438
00:38:41,345 --> 00:38:43,939
Once when I was a boy...
439
00:38:44,048 --> 00:38:48,508
I stole the answers to a test
from my teacher's drawer.
440
00:38:48,619 --> 00:38:50,849
I copied them and put them back
before he noticed.
441
00:38:50,955 --> 00:38:54,413
I got 100 on the test,
and I felt terrific.
442
00:38:56,327 --> 00:39:00,593
I was dancing for a week
like Gene Kelly.
443
00:39:00,698 --> 00:39:03,394
I knew then that my conscience
would be useless to me.
444
00:39:03,501 --> 00:39:08,962
So, without telling him why, I asked
my father to teach me how to avoid sin.
445
00:39:09,073 --> 00:39:10,973
He told me about his teacher...
446
00:39:11,075 --> 00:39:14,977
a tzaddik who kept a notebook
in which he recorded all his sins...
447
00:39:15,079 --> 00:39:19,038
from the day of his bar mitzvah onward.
448
00:39:19,150 --> 00:39:21,448
One day when he was 93 years old...
449
00:39:21,552 --> 00:39:25,283
the tzaddik forgot his notebook
on his desk at the yeshiva.
450
00:39:25,389 --> 00:39:28,847
Just one notebook.
Most people would have a library full.
451
00:39:30,694 --> 00:39:34,653
My father and some of
the other boys ran over...
452
00:39:34,765 --> 00:39:37,893
to see what sins
the great rebbe had committed.
453
00:39:41,272 --> 00:39:46,073
But when they opened the notebook,
they couldn't believe their eyes.
454
00:39:46,177 --> 00:39:49,613
The first page had not yet even been
completely filled up.
455
00:39:51,982 --> 00:39:53,882
If we all wrote down our sins,
my father said...
456
00:39:53,984 --> 00:39:56,782
we'd be more careful
about committing them.
457
00:39:56,887 --> 00:40:00,482
We sin because we're careless
and we don't think about it.
458
00:40:07,231 --> 00:40:09,529
My father was an idiot.
459
00:40:13,237 --> 00:40:15,933
The tzaddik kept his book of sins
for his students to discover.
460
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:21,672
But his other sins
he kept in his heart...
461
00:40:21,779 --> 00:40:24,577
for they were dearer to him
even than was God...
462
00:40:24,682 --> 00:40:27,412
and he couldn't bear
to part with them.
463
00:40:30,654 --> 00:40:34,886
Piety is the standard
by which we are judged.
464
00:40:34,992 --> 00:40:38,689
But it's the quality of our sins
which sets us apart.
465
00:41:39,857 --> 00:41:42,052
You'll start on Monday.
466
00:42:18,762 --> 00:42:22,698
Good morning, Mr. Kapoor. I'm Sonia
Horowitz, Sender Horowitz's new buyer.
467
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,633
Good morning, Miss Horowitz.
But I'm not-
468
00:42:25,736 --> 00:42:30,400
Actually it's Mrs. Horowitz. And there's
something I'd like to show you.
469
00:42:30,507 --> 00:42:33,374
You recognize this?
No?
470
00:42:33,477 --> 00:42:37,106
You can't remember an antique brooch
designed by Querelle worth 30,000 bucks...
471
00:42:37,214 --> 00:42:41,708
which you parted with for only five, but
it's really worth nothing because it's a fake?
472
00:42:41,819 --> 00:42:44,982
- Is that what you can't remember?
- I can hardly remember my name-
473
00:42:45,089 --> 00:42:49,423
- Ramon.
- This is Mr. Kapoor. I just work here.
474
00:42:51,228 --> 00:42:53,219
I'm Hrundi Kapoor.
475
00:42:54,798 --> 00:42:57,096
I've never seen
that piece before.
476
00:43:00,804 --> 00:43:03,466
You should be ashamed
of yourself, Mr. Kapoor.
477
00:43:03,574 --> 00:43:06,042
Mr. Horowitz's previous buyer
may have been too old...
478
00:43:06,143 --> 00:43:09,772
or just too trusting to detect this fake,
but he can remember where he bought it from.
479
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,848
As I said,
I've never seen that piece before.
480
00:43:11,949 --> 00:43:14,315
We have one of two
possibilities here, Mr. Kapoor.
481
00:43:14,418 --> 00:43:17,353
One, you yourself didn't know it was
a fake and unwittingly passed it on.
482
00:43:17,454 --> 00:43:20,423
Two, you knew. Either way,
you're doing dishonorable business.
483
00:43:20,524 --> 00:43:22,992
And as I understand it,
if Mr. Horowitz so desired...
484
00:43:23,093 --> 00:43:25,789
he could tarnish your reputation
so thoroughly that within a week...
485
00:43:25,896 --> 00:43:29,923
you would be out on the street corner
hawking watches out of a suitcase.
486
00:43:30,034 --> 00:43:35,472
Normally, Mr. Horowitz would have come
down here and told you all this himself.
487
00:43:35,572 --> 00:43:38,336
But I think he was a little concerned
with losing his temper.
488
00:43:38,442 --> 00:43:41,605
So here I am. And although I happen
to have a temper myself...
489
00:43:41,712 --> 00:43:45,204
I have no particular emotional investment
in this unfortunate transaction.
490
00:43:45,315 --> 00:43:48,614
So it might be possible for you and I
to start on a fresh page...
491
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,678
and embark on a relationship that would
better profit both yourself and Mr. Horowitz.
492
00:43:52,790 --> 00:43:57,193
The emphasis, of course,
being on Mr. Horowitz. What do you say?
493
00:44:07,871 --> 00:44:10,465
- What can I say?
- How about...
494
00:44:10,574 --> 00:44:13,600
"Good morning, Mrs. Horowitz.
Welcome to 47th Street.
495
00:44:13,711 --> 00:44:16,373
From now on, I'll be selling
to you at 80°/ below retail.
496
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,971
Is there anything
I can interest you in today?"
497
00:44:22,786 --> 00:44:26,916
Good morning, Mrs. Horowitz.
Welcome to 47th Street.
498
00:44:27,024 --> 00:44:30,983
Mr. and Mrs. Mizrachi,
Mrs. Horowitz is my new buyer.
499
00:44:31,095 --> 00:44:32,722
- Hello.
- Hello.
500
00:44:32,830 --> 00:44:34,923
I'm sure Heschel will be missed.
501
00:44:35,032 --> 00:44:39,799
But whatever she lacks in experience,
she'll make up for with a superb taste.
502
00:44:39,903 --> 00:44:41,928
That's nice.
Any relations?
503
00:44:42,039 --> 00:44:45,338
- Excuse me?
- She's my sister-in-law.
504
00:44:45,442 --> 00:44:48,741
I'm keeping things in the family so she
can put my brother through yeshiva.
505
00:44:48,846 --> 00:44:52,247
You like them, Mrs. Gelbart?
506
00:44:52,349 --> 00:44:56,376
What I'd really like is for my husband,
God bless him...
507
00:44:56,487 --> 00:45:00,184
to get off his fat ass,
surprise me with something...
508
00:45:00,290 --> 00:45:02,554
instead of handing me
a wad of cash...
509
00:45:02,659 --> 00:45:05,992
and telling me,
"Go make yourself happy. "
510
00:45:06,096 --> 00:45:09,031
I understand, Mrs. Gelbart.
511
00:45:09,133 --> 00:45:12,500
But the joy of the surprise
lasts only a few moments...
512
00:45:12,603 --> 00:45:15,538
and then you're at the mercy
of his taste.
513
00:45:15,639 --> 00:45:17,607
At least this way you can choose
something for yourself...
514
00:45:17,708 --> 00:45:19,676
that will give you naches
for the rest of your life.
515
00:45:19,777 --> 00:45:22,541
You've got excellent taste,
Mr. Sugarman.
516
00:45:22,646 --> 00:45:25,046
That ring was designed
by Eddie Sakamoto.
517
00:45:25,149 --> 00:45:29,210
A beautiful combination of cobachon
and diamonds laid in a platinum band.
518
00:45:29,319 --> 00:45:32,948
That design won first prize
in the Spectrum competition last fall.
519
00:45:33,056 --> 00:45:36,617
So, uh, what range
are we talking about here?
520
00:45:36,727 --> 00:45:40,356
Mr. Sugarman, I'm not going to pretend
to give you some kind of fancy bargain.
521
00:45:40,464 --> 00:45:42,364
I'll sell it to you
for what it's worth.
522
00:46:02,519 --> 00:46:06,182
It's so nice to see
a new face here.
523
00:46:07,357 --> 00:46:10,087
It's very inspirational.
524
00:46:10,194 --> 00:46:15,689
It just makes me want to...
buy something.
525
00:46:15,799 --> 00:46:18,529
Well, since it's your wife's birthday,
Mr. Fishbein...
526
00:46:18,635 --> 00:46:20,830
I recommend this bracelet.
527
00:46:20,938 --> 00:46:24,840
It's silver inlaid with ruby.
It's her birthstone, and mine.
528
00:46:24,942 --> 00:46:27,604
Could you model it for me?
529
00:46:34,551 --> 00:46:37,987
Ahh.
That looks fabulous.
530
00:46:39,323 --> 00:46:43,453
But such a lovely wrist,
I imagine anything would.
531
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,188
The question is, Mr. Fishbein...
532
00:46:46,296 --> 00:46:50,756
whether you think your wife,
Mrs. Fishbein, will like it.
533
00:46:52,502 --> 00:46:54,470
The question is, Mrs. Horowitz...
534
00:46:54,571 --> 00:46:59,941
why a woman as lovely as you...
535
00:47:00,043 --> 00:47:02,477
is not wearing any jewelry of her own.
536
00:47:21,865 --> 00:47:23,765
Well?
537
00:47:27,604 --> 00:47:29,504
Mmm, it's good.
538
00:47:29,606 --> 00:47:31,938
But what?
539
00:47:34,578 --> 00:47:37,240
- But nothing. It's good. I didn't say "but. "
- But you thought it.
540
00:47:37,347 --> 00:47:40,316
I could see it there over your head
like a little gray cloud.
541
00:47:40,417 --> 00:47:43,318
A little "but" something.
But what?
542
00:47:43,420 --> 00:47:47,447
I understand most of the nutrients that
can be found in freshly-cooked foods...
543
00:47:47,557 --> 00:47:49,923
are absent in microwaveable products.
544
00:47:50,027 --> 00:47:53,053
Sounds like you've
been reading articles...
545
00:47:53,163 --> 00:47:56,496
on a rather wide variety
of subjects.
546
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,296
Or else you've been getting an earful
from your sister Rachel.
547
00:47:59,403 --> 00:48:03,362
In which case, I'd thank her
to keep her nose out of my affairs.
548
00:48:08,779 --> 00:48:11,839
Do you know what
today is, Mendel?
549
00:48:11,949 --> 00:48:13,883
No, I don't.
550
00:48:13,984 --> 00:48:15,884
It's my birthday.
551
00:48:23,527 --> 00:48:25,427
Sonia.
552
00:48:29,066 --> 00:48:32,035
Sonia...
553
00:48:32,135 --> 00:48:34,695
I know that you're working now.
554
00:48:34,805 --> 00:48:37,933
And I know that you like it,
so I'm glad for you.
555
00:48:39,676 --> 00:48:42,975
But you run out of the house at the
crack of dawn. I hardly ever see you.
556
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,813
And when I do it's to get a microwave dinner
tossed at me like I'm some charity case.
557
00:48:49,152 --> 00:48:51,279
I know I spend my day
with my nose stuck in a book...
558
00:48:51,388 --> 00:48:54,687
but I'm not a complete idiot
when it comes to these things.
559
00:48:54,791 --> 00:48:57,316
It's clear that something's missing.
What is it?
560
00:48:57,427 --> 00:48:59,418
What is what?
561
00:48:59,529 --> 00:49:02,760
- What is it that you want?
- I don't know.
562
00:49:02,866 --> 00:49:05,801
Mendel, if I knew-
563
00:49:08,538 --> 00:49:13,339
Mendel, I just want
something beautiful.
564
00:49:13,443 --> 00:49:17,038
Sonia, you have it right here.
You have a home, a child...
565
00:49:17,147 --> 00:49:20,082
and a husband who loves you
more than anything in the whole world.
566
00:49:20,183 --> 00:49:22,879
Yes, in this world, maybe.
567
00:49:22,986 --> 00:49:25,318
But what about
the other world?
568
00:49:25,422 --> 00:49:27,720
The world of the spirit
and the Torah and the Talmud?
569
00:49:27,824 --> 00:49:32,124
What about that world?
Do you love me more than that, Mendel?
570
00:49:34,364 --> 00:49:36,889
What about God?
571
00:49:38,835 --> 00:49:42,601
Do you love me more than
you love God, Mendel?
572
00:49:44,341 --> 00:49:47,333
Sonia, that's a terrible thing to ask.
573
00:49:59,990 --> 00:50:02,424
I'm sorry, Mendel.
574
00:50:09,199 --> 00:50:11,963
You're a good man.
575
00:50:12,069 --> 00:50:15,004
And this life is good,
but it's not beautiful.
576
00:50:15,105 --> 00:50:18,632
But... goodness is beauty.
577
00:50:18,742 --> 00:50:20,710
No!
578
00:50:20,811 --> 00:50:24,770
Beauty has goodness in it,
but it can also be terrible.
579
00:50:26,950 --> 00:50:29,111
Is that what you want?
580
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:33,518
That, that things
should be terrible?
581
00:50:35,358 --> 00:50:37,952
Is that what
would make you happy?
582
00:51:08,592 --> 00:51:12,460
Whoa, whoa. It's too early.
You come back in a half hour. Sorry.
583
00:51:20,537 --> 00:51:23,267
Just for a moment.
584
00:51:30,547 --> 00:51:34,278
"A woman of fortitude, who can find?
585
00:51:34,384 --> 00:51:38,184
For her price is far above rubies.
586
00:51:40,290 --> 00:51:44,920
When her husband relies on her,
he shall lack no fortune.
587
00:51:46,596 --> 00:51:50,794
She rises in the morning
to feed her household.
588
00:51:50,901 --> 00:51:54,803
Strength and majesty are her raiment...
589
00:51:54,905 --> 00:51:59,308
and joyfully she can anticipate
the day of judgment.
590
00:52:00,911 --> 00:52:05,473
False is grandeur
and vain is beauty.
591
00:52:05,582 --> 00:52:10,212
Only a God-fearing woman
deserves praise.
592
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,550
Give her the fruits of her handiwork...
593
00:52:12,656 --> 00:52:17,525
and let her be praised at the gates
of heaven for her countless deeds. "
594
00:52:22,899 --> 00:52:27,666
Sometimes I look at men
and wonder...
595
00:52:27,771 --> 00:52:30,137
how could God have created...
596
00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:35,007
so ugly a creature
for woman to cling to.
597
00:52:35,111 --> 00:52:37,045
Men are ugly!
598
00:52:41,051 --> 00:52:42,985
But you...
599
00:52:45,288 --> 00:52:47,188
Sender Horowitz...
600
00:52:49,392 --> 00:52:53,328
you are the ugliest man of all.
601
00:52:56,333 --> 00:53:00,167
That's a flawless brilliant cut stone
from South Africa. Top of the line.
602
00:53:01,705 --> 00:53:04,902
Hmm. How's business, Mr. Kapoor?
603
00:53:07,210 --> 00:53:12,409
Business? The rich are buying at Tiffany's and
Saks. The poor are carjacking the rich ones...
604
00:53:12,515 --> 00:53:16,679
and everybody else is sitting on their
couches watching the Home Shopping Network.
605
00:53:16,786 --> 00:53:19,653
Not surprising if this is the kind
of merchandise you showcase.
606
00:53:19,756 --> 00:53:23,283
Listen here, Mrs. Horowitz,
I triple check everything I show you.
607
00:53:23,393 --> 00:53:26,521
That's a perfectly sound diamond
in a perfectly sound ring.
608
00:53:26,630 --> 00:53:31,090
Mm-hmm. It's perfectly sound.
And perfectly boring.
609
00:53:33,036 --> 00:53:36,437
Hey, back me up here.
Boring or not?
610
00:53:38,708 --> 00:53:40,608
Boring.
611
00:53:40,710 --> 00:53:44,043
Ramon, isn't today your-
612
00:53:44,147 --> 00:53:49,414
Half day? Yeah.
Today I'm outta here at- Right now.
613
00:53:49,519 --> 00:53:52,420
I'm outta here now.
Thank you, Mr. Kapoor.
614
00:53:52,522 --> 00:53:55,150
It's a classic, Mrs. Horowitz.
615
00:53:55,258 --> 00:53:58,489
And the point of a classic
is its steadfastness.
616
00:53:58,595 --> 00:54:02,361
There are some things
nobody wants to change.
617
00:54:02,465 --> 00:54:05,957
I was holding this one just for you,
but I'll be more than happy-
618
00:54:06,069 --> 00:54:08,094
No, no, no, no.
I'll take it.
619
00:54:08,204 --> 00:54:11,833
The sad fact is, it's probably
the best piece I've seen all week.
620
00:54:11,941 --> 00:54:14,535
Lucky for me,
it's on an 80°/ discount rate.
621
00:54:14,644 --> 00:54:17,670
Good choice, Mrs. Horowitz.
622
00:54:21,685 --> 00:54:23,880
I like this one.
623
00:54:29,125 --> 00:54:31,719
And since when are you an expert?
624
00:54:31,828 --> 00:54:35,889
I didn't say I was an expert.
I just like this one.
625
00:54:37,300 --> 00:54:39,427
That one?
626
00:54:42,205 --> 00:54:44,105
What is this?
627
00:54:44,207 --> 00:54:47,836
Just some free-floating junk that came
in with a batch of useless gold items.
628
00:54:47,944 --> 00:54:50,970
I'll sell it
to the melters at cost.
629
00:54:51,081 --> 00:54:55,177
- Where did you find this?
- Somewhere. Chinatown. I don't know.
630
00:55:00,657 --> 00:55:03,558
You look at this...
631
00:55:03,660 --> 00:55:06,060
and call it a piece of junk
from Chinatown...
632
00:55:06,162 --> 00:55:08,824
and you wonder why
your business is bad?
633
00:55:08,932 --> 00:55:13,460
What? Did God put you on this earth
for the purpose of busting my chops?
634
00:55:13,570 --> 00:55:16,903
If you like it, I'll throw it in
with the other one. All right?
635
00:55:17,006 --> 00:55:18,837
Okay.
636
00:55:28,318 --> 00:55:31,913
- You like that piece?
- Yeah, I like it.
637
00:55:32,021 --> 00:55:34,922
I'm asking you about it.
I like it.
638
00:55:35,024 --> 00:55:37,959
Then it came from my store.
639
00:55:38,061 --> 00:55:41,030
- Anything you like, this is where it came from.
- Oh, no, no.
640
00:55:46,603 --> 00:55:49,128
If this piece is hot or something,
I've got nothing to do with it.
641
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,434
- You cops have got to stop hassling me.
- Cops?
642
00:55:51,541 --> 00:55:54,135
Maybe the guy before me
had some kind of shady business.
643
00:55:54,244 --> 00:55:56,144
I'm clean as a whistle,
you understand me?
644
00:55:56,246 --> 00:55:58,146
I've got receipts.
You want to see? Everything.
645
00:56:02,318 --> 00:56:05,776
Excuse me.
646
00:56:05,889 --> 00:56:09,848
Could you- Excuse me.
647
00:56:38,354 --> 00:56:40,584
You're going to hell.
648
00:56:42,192 --> 00:56:44,183
For eating an egg roll?
649
00:56:44,294 --> 00:56:46,558
For eating pig.
650
00:56:46,663 --> 00:56:48,688
Mmm, it's delicious!
651
00:56:49,799 --> 00:56:53,633
- You're going to hell.
- Really?
652
00:56:54,938 --> 00:56:57,372
And yesterday...
653
00:56:57,474 --> 00:56:59,999
when I was lying on a desk getting
shtupped by my brother-in-law...
654
00:57:00,109 --> 00:57:02,600
yesterday I wasn't going to hell?
655
00:57:06,683 --> 00:57:08,617
I'm sorry.
656
00:57:09,953 --> 00:57:12,649
Yossi, I'm sorry.
I'll shut up, okay?
657
00:57:17,827 --> 00:57:22,196
Little boys always hate any noise
they're not making themselves.
658
00:57:26,369 --> 00:57:30,601
Something sweet with which to coat
the world's bitter pill, tataleh.
659
00:57:32,742 --> 00:57:35,575
What are you doing
so far from home?
660
00:57:35,678 --> 00:57:38,078
I might ask you
the same question.
661
00:57:38,181 --> 00:57:42,550
Spare some change for a woman who's been
walking too long on her tired feet?
662
00:57:42,652 --> 00:57:44,620
I'm sorry.
663
00:57:49,826 --> 00:57:52,056
Nice earrings.
664
00:57:56,099 --> 00:57:59,626
Excuse me.
Those earrings are beautiful.
665
00:57:59,736 --> 00:58:02,261
Thanks.
666
00:58:02,372 --> 00:58:05,773
Do you mind if I take
a closer look?
667
00:58:12,782 --> 00:58:14,716
Where did you get these?
668
00:58:14,817 --> 00:58:17,718
Listen, lady, I'm glad you like them,
but they're not valuable or nothing!
669
00:58:17,820 --> 00:58:20,448
There's this guy who makes them
in my neighborhood.
670
00:58:20,557 --> 00:58:24,084
- Just some neighborhood guy who makes nice stuff.
- What neighborhood?
671
00:58:43,580 --> 00:58:45,480
Buenos dias.
672
00:58:46,616 --> 00:58:50,177
Hello.
Um, I'm looking for a jeweler.
673
00:58:50,286 --> 00:58:54,245
I was given this address.
Jeweler?
674
00:58:54,357 --> 00:58:56,985
- Jewelry maker?
- Ah, si.
675
00:58:57,093 --> 00:58:59,823
Si. Entra, por favor.
676
00:59:09,439 --> 00:59:12,067
Mi hijo.
677
00:59:12,175 --> 00:59:15,008
- My son.
- Oh!
678
00:59:15,111 --> 00:59:17,705
Venga.
679
00:59:17,814 --> 00:59:20,681
Pase. Down.
Down the stairs.
680
00:59:27,323 --> 00:59:30,520
Those the ones that I wanted?
681
00:59:30,627 --> 00:59:32,891
- Yeah, it's the same ones.
- They don't look like it.
682
00:59:32,996 --> 00:59:36,454
- It's the ones. I'm telling you.
- They don't look like Charlene's.
683
00:59:36,566 --> 00:59:39,660
This is better.
684
00:59:39,769 --> 00:59:41,669
Suits your face.
685
00:59:41,771 --> 00:59:45,172
You getting picky now? You know mine
are sold. Yours can never be like this.
686
00:59:45,274 --> 00:59:49,370
Whatever, girl.
How much you want for it?
687
00:59:49,479 --> 00:59:52,448
The reward is seeing it on such a
lovely ear. That's all I could ask for.
688
00:59:52,548 --> 00:59:54,448
Yo, Ramon.
689
00:59:54,550 --> 00:59:58,145
I've been posin' my naked ass
over here for three weekends in a row.
690
00:59:58,254 --> 01:00:01,553
You ain't paid me jack,
and now you're turning down her dollars?
691
01:00:01,658 --> 01:00:06,095
Shut up. That's 'cause your fat ass
ain't worth my dollars, homegirl.
692
01:00:06,195 --> 01:00:08,095
The hell with this, all right?
693
01:00:08,197 --> 01:00:11,826
Come on. What's up with acting
like this? All right?
694
01:00:11,934 --> 01:00:14,300
Come on.
Whatcha doin'?
695
01:00:25,581 --> 01:00:27,481
Here.
696
01:00:28,685 --> 01:00:31,085
Take this for now.
Talk to her, all right?
697
01:00:31,187 --> 01:00:34,088
- It's cold in here, man.
- I need you guys. I know.
698
01:00:34,190 --> 01:00:36,158
One more time, all right?
699
01:00:39,562 --> 01:00:41,462
Let me guess.
700
01:00:41,564 --> 01:00:46,433
You didn't quite succeed at
getting my ass fired at work today...
701
01:00:46,536 --> 01:00:49,403
so you decided
to follow me home...
702
01:00:49,505 --> 01:00:52,406
and make sure my life
is a living hell here as well?
703
01:00:52,508 --> 01:00:55,568
Not exactly.
704
01:00:55,678 --> 01:00:57,703
You're quite a collector.
705
01:01:00,616 --> 01:01:04,814
You mean these?
Not exactly.
706
01:01:04,921 --> 01:01:07,412
I mean, I make them.
707
01:01:07,523 --> 01:01:10,458
Nobody buys any,
so I guess I'm collecting them.
708
01:01:14,897 --> 01:01:17,388
What about these?
709
01:01:19,335 --> 01:01:24,602
It's just stuff I sell to the
neighborhood girls for some pocket money.
710
01:01:24,707 --> 01:01:28,040
You know? Mostly metal shavings
from my sculptures.
711
01:01:28,144 --> 01:01:31,477
- It's worthless.
- Worthless?
712
01:01:31,581 --> 01:01:33,446
This is art.
713
01:01:35,618 --> 01:01:38,178
- Yo, Ray. Peace.
- Yo. Peace, Ty.
714
01:01:38,287 --> 01:01:41,450
- Later. All right?
- Yeah, all right.
715
01:01:41,557 --> 01:01:45,550
You have
an interesting style, Ramon.
716
01:01:45,661 --> 01:01:50,064
It's not really no style.
It's mostly unfinished. But thanks.
717
01:01:52,101 --> 01:01:56,629
So, what brings you to my neck
of the woods, Miss, uh, Horowitz?
718
01:01:58,708 --> 01:02:03,907
I found it in a pile of junk
Kapoor was gonna sell to the melters.
719
01:02:04,013 --> 01:02:06,072
It's yours, isn't it?
720
01:02:06,182 --> 01:02:10,380
How did that get in-
It must've fell in there somehow. Jesus!
721
01:02:10,486 --> 01:02:12,386
Twenty-two carat gold.
722
01:02:12,488 --> 01:02:15,389
Whatever stone you had in it is gone.
I'm sorry.
723
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,328
It was never there.
724
01:02:21,764 --> 01:02:25,530
- I made this for my muse.
- For who?
725
01:02:25,635 --> 01:02:28,695
My muse.
My inspiration.
726
01:02:28,805 --> 01:02:31,433
Who is that?
727
01:02:31,541 --> 01:02:33,441
I don't know.
728
01:02:33,543 --> 01:02:37,843
But... when I meet her, I'll
know what stone to put in there.
729
01:02:37,947 --> 01:02:40,245
Hmm.
730
01:02:40,349 --> 01:02:42,340
Hey, Ramon...
731
01:02:42,451 --> 01:02:44,851
Kapoor doesn't have a clue, does he?
732
01:02:46,589 --> 01:02:50,320
Does anyone in the trade know?
733
01:02:50,426 --> 01:02:53,293
- Know what?
- Know what you can do.
734
01:02:55,097 --> 01:02:57,657
Listen, I got a job.
735
01:02:57,767 --> 01:03:02,636
You know, this is a hobby,
a distraction. That's all. It's not-
736
01:03:02,738 --> 01:03:05,138
I want to commission your designs.
737
01:03:05,241 --> 01:03:08,267
And I don't know from sculpture...
738
01:03:08,377 --> 01:03:13,542
but other than a few Florentine antiques
that passed through my father's store...
739
01:03:13,649 --> 01:03:17,085
I've never seen any jewelry
as beautiful as yours in my life.
740
01:03:18,454 --> 01:03:22,788
I am very moved, Mrs. -
741
01:03:22,892 --> 01:03:24,792
Sonia.
742
01:03:26,596 --> 01:03:28,826
I am moved, Sonia.
743
01:03:28,931 --> 01:03:32,367
But we don't know each other.
744
01:03:32,468 --> 01:03:36,768
Do you want this for me,
or do you want this... for you?
745
01:03:36,873 --> 01:03:38,773
Does it matter?
746
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:13,208
Sonia?
747
01:04:22,718 --> 01:04:24,948
Mendel?
748
01:04:25,054 --> 01:04:28,421
What are you doing lurking
out here in the dark?
749
01:04:28,524 --> 01:04:31,391
- Where's Shimmie?
- He's by Rachel.
750
01:04:31,494 --> 01:04:35,225
- Oy gevalt. I better go get him.
- He'll be all right.
751
01:04:35,331 --> 01:04:38,232
I said...
he'll be all right.
752
01:04:44,373 --> 01:04:47,274
- Where have you been?
- Working.
753
01:04:49,478 --> 01:04:52,311
- What is all this?
- Oh, they're samples...
754
01:04:52,415 --> 01:04:55,748
from a jeweler I'm going to be
representing as part of my work for Sender.
755
01:04:55,851 --> 01:05:00,345
- Look.
- I told Sender you won't be working for him anymore.
756
01:05:01,657 --> 01:05:04,922
I've asked him to replace you
as soon as possible.
757
01:05:09,131 --> 01:05:12,999
Well, what did,
what did Sender say?
758
01:05:13,102 --> 01:05:16,003
What did Sender say?
759
01:05:16,105 --> 01:05:19,097
I'm your husband, Sonia.
By you, Sender does what I ask.
760
01:05:19,208 --> 01:05:21,733
I told him you were needed here at home
and that was the end of it.
761
01:05:21,844 --> 01:05:25,473
- Mendel, all the women around here work.
- Yes, they work.
762
01:05:25,581 --> 01:05:27,674
But their husbands don't get snickered
at by everyone in the neighborhood...
763
01:05:27,783 --> 01:05:29,808
as soon as his back is turned.
764
01:05:29,919 --> 01:05:31,978
Why should they snicker?
765
01:05:32,088 --> 01:05:35,649
If I knew that I wouldn't be
standing here asking you about it.
766
01:05:35,758 --> 01:05:40,821
Is that what you're doing?
You're asking me about it?
767
01:05:40,930 --> 01:05:45,333
Sonia-
Sonia, I know that you've got-
768
01:05:47,937 --> 01:05:51,202
We've got problems.
769
01:05:51,307 --> 01:05:54,174
I- I talked to some people about it,
some people who know about these things.
770
01:05:54,276 --> 01:05:56,437
Please, Sonia.
771
01:05:56,545 --> 01:06:00,208
I realize I've been too busy at
the yeshiva with my own learning to do-
772
01:06:00,316 --> 01:06:03,615
To give you the attention you deserve.
I also realize...
773
01:06:03,719 --> 01:06:06,620
that we are in desperate need
of help right now.
774
01:06:08,290 --> 01:06:11,418
What kind of help, Mendel?
775
01:06:11,527 --> 01:06:14,655
I'd like for us
to see a counselor.
776
01:06:14,764 --> 01:06:16,823
A marriage counselor, a psychologist.
777
01:06:16,932 --> 01:06:20,368
Someone who specializes in problems
married people are having.
778
01:06:22,371 --> 01:06:24,805
Do you pray every morning,
Mrs. Horowitz?
779
01:06:27,109 --> 01:06:30,704
Do you pray, Mrs. Horowitz?
780
01:06:30,813 --> 01:06:32,804
You said-
781
01:06:32,915 --> 01:06:35,315
I thought you were a psychologist.
782
01:06:35,418 --> 01:06:39,650
I am a psychologist, Mrs. Horowitz,
but I'm also a rabbi...
783
01:06:39,755 --> 01:06:44,124
uniquely qualified to appreciate
the problems afflicting the Jewish soul.
784
01:06:44,226 --> 01:06:48,629
Which is unique in that it is directly
connected to the spirit of the Holy One.
785
01:06:48,731 --> 01:06:50,824
Blessed be His name.
786
01:06:50,933 --> 01:06:53,800
Sonia, can we give the doctor a chance?
787
01:06:55,471 --> 01:06:59,464
So? Hmm?
Do you pray, Mrs. Horowitz?
788
01:06:59,575 --> 01:07:01,440
No.
789
01:07:01,544 --> 01:07:04,809
- Have you been to the mikveh?
- Not this month.
790
01:07:04,914 --> 01:07:08,850
- Are you lighting shabbes candles?
- If I get in on time.
791
01:07:08,951 --> 01:07:11,010
- Have you been keeping kosher?
- At home.
792
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:14,317
- At home?
- Now we're getting somewhere.
793
01:07:14,423 --> 01:07:17,324
- Where exactly is it that we're getting?
- Well, it's clear...
794
01:07:17,426 --> 01:07:20,691
that you've been neglecting
your relationship with the Almighty...
795
01:07:20,796 --> 01:07:23,492
- which, in psychological terms, is
translated into behavior- - I thought-
796
01:07:23,599 --> 01:07:26,261
I thought that you said
he was going to be impartial.
797
01:07:26,368 --> 01:07:28,268
Whose side is he taking?
I don't see.
798
01:07:28,370 --> 01:07:31,737
He's taking God's side, Mendel.
That's whose side he's taking.
799
01:07:31,841 --> 01:07:35,902
You can't choose sides
with the Lord, Mrs. Horowitz.
800
01:07:37,246 --> 01:07:40,613
You don't tell me
what I can and can't do.
801
01:07:40,716 --> 01:07:43,014
I'm gonna pick whatever side I want.
802
01:07:43,119 --> 01:07:45,451
And if God happens to be
on the other end...
803
01:07:45,554 --> 01:07:49,354
well that's just the way
it's gonna be.
804
01:07:49,458 --> 01:07:52,894
Sonia, sometimes the way you talk,
I mean, don't you fear God?
805
01:07:55,431 --> 01:07:58,559
I'm tired of being afraid.
806
01:07:58,667 --> 01:08:02,569
If I'm so offensive
in His eyes...
807
01:08:02,671 --> 01:08:04,730
then let Him do
what He wants to me.
808
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,708
- I really don't care anymore.
- How can you be so blind?
809
01:08:08,811 --> 01:08:11,541
Don't you see the kind of suffering
that you're asking for?
810
01:08:11,647 --> 01:08:15,981
Mendel, my learned husband...
811
01:08:16,085 --> 01:08:19,452
we don't suffer because we ask for it.
812
01:08:19,555 --> 01:08:23,514
We suffer because
that's just the way it is.
813
01:08:23,626 --> 01:08:25,958
There is no reason for it.
814
01:08:26,061 --> 01:08:28,529
And if there is,
then it's certainly something...
815
01:08:28,631 --> 01:08:32,499
that neither you nor you
knows anything about.
816
01:08:32,601 --> 01:08:36,128
We bring suffering on ourselves,
Mrs. Horowitz, when we sin against God.
817
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,740
Really.
818
01:08:41,677 --> 01:08:45,272
And my, my aunts and uncles?
819
01:08:45,381 --> 01:08:47,645
And all their children...
820
01:08:47,750 --> 01:08:50,742
who were marched into
the gas chambers at Treblinka?
821
01:08:50,853 --> 01:08:53,515
My Aunt Chani who watched her son...
822
01:08:53,622 --> 01:08:57,649
tortured in front of her eyes?
823
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,820
What the hell did they do
to deserve that?
824
01:09:04,700 --> 01:09:07,191
And Yossi.
825
01:09:07,303 --> 01:09:12,172
He was only ten years old.
What did he do?
826
01:09:12,274 --> 01:09:15,710
We don't question
the ways of God, Mrs. Horowitz.
827
01:09:15,811 --> 01:09:17,369
- We just-
- No!
828
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,505
You don't question...
829
01:09:20,616 --> 01:09:22,516
Dr. Rabbi.
830
01:09:23,619 --> 01:09:26,520
I'm gonna question
whatever I want to.
831
01:09:28,857 --> 01:09:32,486
But since I'm not likely
to find any answers here-
832
01:09:35,931 --> 01:09:38,593
Is Sender home?
833
01:09:38,701 --> 01:09:41,135
- Mendel, are you all right?
- Is my brother home?
834
01:09:41,237 --> 01:09:43,296
Yes, of course.
He's in his study.
835
01:09:43,405 --> 01:09:46,135
Why don't you wait right over here?
I'll go get him.
836
01:09:46,242 --> 01:09:48,142
Shah!
Everyone to your rooms.
837
01:09:48,244 --> 01:09:51,441
On the double. Double time.
March. Let's go, let's go.
838
01:10:14,336 --> 01:10:16,236
Why?
839
01:10:17,339 --> 01:10:19,000
Why what?
840
01:10:19,108 --> 01:10:22,339
Why is this happening to me?
841
01:10:23,579 --> 01:10:25,479
What's happening, Mendel?
842
01:10:25,581 --> 01:10:27,947
Sonia's gone crazy.
843
01:10:33,389 --> 01:10:37,450
- What do you mean "crazy"?
- She's running around like a meshuggener thing.
844
01:10:37,559 --> 01:10:39,754
Such things, I don't know
where she gets them from.
845
01:10:39,862 --> 01:10:41,762
About God. About-
846
01:10:41,864 --> 01:10:45,561
I don't know. I-I, I don't know
what she's talking about.
847
01:10:45,668 --> 01:10:49,069
She just sounds a little wound up.
I'm sure she'll calm down soon.
848
01:10:51,507 --> 01:10:54,738
What have I done?
What have I done wrong?
849
01:10:57,112 --> 01:10:59,012
Nothing.
850
01:11:01,650 --> 01:11:04,915
- You're a tzaddik, Mendel.
- Then why is this happening to me?
851
01:11:05,020 --> 01:11:07,921
Because you've never
done anything wrong.
852
01:11:10,826 --> 01:11:13,294
Sender...
853
01:11:13,395 --> 01:11:15,989
I don't know what to do.
854
01:11:16,098 --> 01:11:17,998
Please.
855
01:11:19,101 --> 01:11:21,797
Help me.
856
01:11:23,305 --> 01:11:25,535
This is an excellent
representative selection...
857
01:11:25,641 --> 01:11:28,109
of the designer's skill
and versatility, Mr. Berman.
858
01:11:28,210 --> 01:11:30,110
It's a little confusing.
859
01:11:30,212 --> 01:11:34,979
I mean, to someone with a smidgen of
taste, this work might border on kitsch.
860
01:11:35,084 --> 01:11:38,212
But there's a purity
to the classical influences.
861
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:42,120
And a boldness to the modern flourishes
that totally belies that.
862
01:11:42,224 --> 01:11:45,819
It also enhances
the appearance of the wearer...
863
01:11:45,928 --> 01:11:49,329
without drawing
undue attention to itself.
864
01:11:50,766 --> 01:11:54,827
I apologize for lack
of a better model.
865
01:11:54,937 --> 01:11:58,373
Uh, but with some imagination,
I'm sure that you'll see...
866
01:11:58,474 --> 01:12:02,501
- a world of possibilities.
- Yes. And without as much imagination...
867
01:12:02,611 --> 01:12:04,602
as you might think.
868
01:12:07,549 --> 01:12:10,143
Uh, here's an example...
869
01:12:12,254 --> 01:12:15,155
of the designer's work
in fine metals.
870
01:12:15,257 --> 01:12:19,387
It's 22-carat gold, hand-carved,
one-of-a-kind, with an open setting...
871
01:12:19,495 --> 01:12:21,486
for a gemstone.
872
01:12:21,597 --> 01:12:25,590
The perfection of this piece is clear,
even to the naked eye.
873
01:12:25,701 --> 01:12:29,193
If you can bear to part with these samples,
I'd like to show them to my partners.
874
01:12:29,304 --> 01:12:34,401
- Of course.
- I'd also like yourself and Mr. -
875
01:12:37,079 --> 01:12:39,206
- Garcia. Ramon Garcia.
- Yes.
876
01:12:39,314 --> 01:12:41,942
I'd like you to meet
my manufacturer.
877
01:12:42,050 --> 01:12:44,678
He's in town every Thursday.
We can make an appointment...
878
01:12:44,787 --> 01:12:47,847
- in a couple of weeks.
- This week.
879
01:12:47,956 --> 01:12:50,083
This week would be best.
880
01:12:52,194 --> 01:12:54,685
I'll see what I can do.
881
01:12:54,797 --> 01:12:58,733
I'll just...
hold on to this piece.
882
01:13:00,969 --> 01:13:03,665
It's one of a kind,
and I'm sure they'll be able to see...
883
01:13:03,772 --> 01:13:06,240
what they need to see
from the rest of the selection.
884
01:13:16,151 --> 01:13:19,712
Damn!
Can you believe this?
885
01:13:19,822 --> 01:13:22,791
She bugged out on me.
I can't find anybody to replace her.
886
01:13:22,891 --> 01:13:25,451
I'm getting it.
887
01:13:26,728 --> 01:13:29,526
It's nice.
888
01:13:29,631 --> 01:13:31,531
Nice?
889
01:13:31,633 --> 01:13:34,932
- You hear that, Ty? You look nice.
- Yo, leave her alone, Ray.
890
01:13:35,037 --> 01:13:38,097
- You're embarrassing her. - The
sculpture- The sculpture looks nice.
891
01:13:41,910 --> 01:13:44,071
Don't ask.
892
01:13:44,179 --> 01:13:46,079
What's all this?
893
01:13:46,181 --> 01:13:48,308
Gold chachkes.
Junk.
894
01:13:48,417 --> 01:13:50,749
I can see that.
Why is it all over my table?
895
01:13:50,853 --> 01:13:53,947
You can melt it all down
and start to work on some pieces...
896
01:13:54,056 --> 01:13:56,183
- to augment your portfolio.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
897
01:13:56,291 --> 01:14:00,785
I got a job. A real fuckin' job
to hold on to. I told you.
898
01:14:00,896 --> 01:14:05,060
- This is all just a hobby.
- You seem to be working on it awfully hard for just a hobby.
899
01:14:05,167 --> 01:14:08,728
Hey! Who are you, lady?
900
01:14:08,837 --> 01:14:10,737
I mean, I just met you.
901
01:14:10,839 --> 01:14:15,276
And you come busting in here like your ass
is on fire, telling me how to live my life?
902
01:14:15,377 --> 01:14:17,277
Is this how you want to go on?
903
01:14:17,379 --> 01:14:19,313
Wasting your talent?
904
01:14:19,414 --> 01:14:22,178
Working for some cheap
junk macher day in, day out...
905
01:14:22,284 --> 01:14:25,253
just so you can hold on to,
what, some lousy job?
906
01:14:29,258 --> 01:14:31,818
I don't know where you come from.
907
01:14:31,927 --> 01:14:34,760
But around here, that's a hell
of a lot more than most people got.
908
01:14:34,863 --> 01:14:38,594
So don't go laughing it off
like it ain't shit, all right?
909
01:14:38,700 --> 01:14:42,261
This shit's gettin' too deep
for my shiverin' ass.
910
01:14:42,371 --> 01:14:45,431
- I'm gonna leave you-
- Yo, stay right there. We not done yet.
911
01:14:45,541 --> 01:14:49,978
Ramon, you're an artist.
I just wanna help you.
912
01:14:50,078 --> 01:14:53,377
Do you wanna help me?
Come here. Come over here.
913
01:14:53,482 --> 01:14:56,178
- What?
- Come here.
914
01:14:57,452 --> 01:14:59,352
Oh, no. No, Ramon.
915
01:14:59,454 --> 01:15:02,355
- No, come on. Just so I can get this angle, okay?
- Ramon.
916
01:15:02,457 --> 01:15:04,652
- Come on.
- I, I shouldn't be so close.
917
01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:06,921
No. Hey, it's okay.
You know?
918
01:15:07,029 --> 01:15:08,997
- It isn't really you.
- Ramon.
919
01:15:09,097 --> 01:15:12,999
Just use your imagination, okay?
This is art. Remember?
920
01:15:13,101 --> 01:15:16,662
This is the Garden of Eden.
Right? There's no shame here.
921
01:15:16,772 --> 01:15:19,935
This is Adam, and you're Eve.
922
01:15:20,042 --> 01:15:23,671
- And I suppose that makes you the snake?
- The devil in disguise.
923
01:15:23,779 --> 01:15:27,738
Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Snake. I hate to tell
you, but this Eve is keeping her clothes on.
924
01:15:27,849 --> 01:15:31,717
- No, no, it's okay. Just put your hand like this.
- No.
925
01:15:31,820 --> 01:15:34,380
- Come on, Ray-
- Put it right there. All right?
926
01:15:37,826 --> 01:15:39,760
No!
927
01:15:44,433 --> 01:15:46,333
Smooth, homes.
928
01:15:54,343 --> 01:15:57,176
Sonia. Sonia!
929
01:15:57,279 --> 01:16:00,180
I can't believe
I did that to you, man.
930
01:16:02,618 --> 01:16:04,176
Just, uh-
931
01:16:06,355 --> 01:16:08,186
You fuckin' scared me, all right?
932
01:16:08,290 --> 01:16:13,159
My father used to say that a jeweler's
work is the expression of his soul.
933
01:16:13,261 --> 01:16:17,630
Your work is beautiful, Ramon. But what's
the point if nobody's going to know about it?
934
01:16:17,733 --> 01:16:21,294
You'll know.
935
01:16:21,403 --> 01:16:23,303
Seems like you had
a wise old man.
936
01:16:23,405 --> 01:16:26,772
I never knew mine.
937
01:16:26,875 --> 01:16:31,073
My mother, she' ain't got nobody in this
whole world but me and Jesus Christ.
938
01:16:31,179 --> 01:16:33,773
And He don't seem to be makin'
no grocery runs these days.
939
01:16:33,882 --> 01:16:35,440
Know what I'm sayin'?
940
01:16:37,653 --> 01:16:41,248
How do I know you're gonna
come through for me?
941
01:16:41,356 --> 01:16:44,814
You don't.
But that's life, isn't it?
942
01:16:48,797 --> 01:16:50,992
Just give me a little time.
943
01:16:53,402 --> 01:16:55,632
I'm running out of time.
944
01:17:37,579 --> 01:17:39,706
Mendel?
945
01:17:43,618 --> 01:17:46,485
The locks to my house
have been changed.
946
01:17:46,588 --> 01:17:49,955
Your house? You've hardly set foot
in that door for months.
947
01:17:50,058 --> 01:17:52,891
- Now suddenly it's your house.
- Where's Shimmie?
948
01:17:52,994 --> 01:17:55,224
He's sleeping.
949
01:17:55,330 --> 01:17:58,493
- Don't get between me and my baby.
- Your baby.
950
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,501
You've hardly seen hide nor hair of him
for months. Now suddenly he's your baby.
951
01:18:01,603 --> 01:18:04,436
- You sound like a broken record, Rachel.
- Sit down!
952
01:18:04,539 --> 01:18:06,871
Um, ladies,
I think it might be a good idea-
953
01:18:06,975 --> 01:18:10,968
Grab your coat, round up the kids and
take them to daven maariv up at shul.
954
01:18:11,079 --> 01:18:14,378
Right. That's what
I was gonna do. Shul.
955
01:18:15,617 --> 01:18:18,051
I think you'd better
sit down.
956
01:18:27,429 --> 01:18:29,329
It's over.
957
01:18:29,431 --> 01:18:33,492
Mendel will be granting you a divorce
at the earliest possible moment.
958
01:18:35,070 --> 01:18:37,300
He's going to stay in the house.
And Sender has agreed...
959
01:18:37,405 --> 01:18:40,738
to let you use an apartment he's been
keeping for business on the Lower East Side.
960
01:18:40,842 --> 01:18:43,606
You are not welcome here anymore.
961
01:18:46,014 --> 01:18:49,211
Is this coming from Mendel,
or is this coming from you?
962
01:18:49,317 --> 01:18:51,217
What do you think?
963
01:18:51,319 --> 01:18:53,913
Where is Mendel?
I want to hear this from his mouth.
964
01:18:54,022 --> 01:18:56,422
Haven't you put him
through enough already?
965
01:18:58,293 --> 01:19:00,693
I'll just take Shimmie
and be on my way.
966
01:19:00,796 --> 01:19:03,287
Shimmie stays here.
967
01:19:03,398 --> 01:19:05,195
How dare you!
968
01:19:05,300 --> 01:19:08,201
Shimmie's gonna stay here by us where
he can live in a healthy environment.
969
01:19:08,303 --> 01:19:11,363
And who's the expert fit to judge what's
a healthy environment all of a sudden?
970
01:19:11,473 --> 01:19:14,533
Certainly not a woman who leaves
her husband and baby at home...
971
01:19:14,643 --> 01:19:18,306
while she runs around town
having affairs with Puerto Ricans.
972
01:19:18,413 --> 01:19:22,577
Is that what this is all about?
Who said this?
973
01:19:22,684 --> 01:19:25,084
It doesn't matter.
What's done is done.
974
01:19:25,187 --> 01:19:28,816
And what's said is said, and the truth
doesn't matter anymore. Does it?
975
01:19:28,924 --> 01:19:32,155
If you don't get out of my way,
I'm gonna call the cops.
976
01:19:32,260 --> 01:19:35,787
I'm taking Shimmie and I'm going back
to Muncie to stay by my mother.
977
01:19:35,897 --> 01:19:39,799
We already spoke to your mother.
978
01:19:39,901 --> 01:19:44,600
She begged us not to let you go back
there and ruin your sisters' chances...
979
01:19:44,706 --> 01:19:47,300
of making decent matches.
980
01:19:47,409 --> 01:19:51,505
We have a fine life here, Sonia.
981
01:19:51,613 --> 01:19:54,411
A decent life.
982
01:19:54,516 --> 01:19:58,418
And you are not gonna be allowed
to destroy it for everyone around you.
983
01:20:00,255 --> 01:20:02,917
For the good of all concerned,
you've gotta be cut off.
984
01:20:03,024 --> 01:20:06,755
You can't cut a mother off
from her child.
985
01:20:06,862 --> 01:20:11,492
No. You've already taken care
of that yourself.
986
01:20:13,935 --> 01:20:16,631
I don't know where
you're headed, Sonia.
987
01:20:16,738 --> 01:20:19,138
But wherever it is,
you're going alone.
988
01:20:42,163 --> 01:20:44,063
Excuse me.
989
01:20:44,165 --> 01:20:46,497
Is Mendel here?
990
01:20:46,601 --> 01:20:49,661
Mendel Horowitz.
Do me a favor.
991
01:20:49,771 --> 01:20:53,673
Go and find him for me.
Tell him his wife wants to talk to him.
992
01:21:13,929 --> 01:21:17,092
Excuse me. I think you should
find another time for this.
993
01:21:17,198 --> 01:21:22,033
- Is he here? - Like I said, I think
perhaps another time would be pref-
994
01:21:33,682 --> 01:21:35,582
Mendel?
995
01:21:38,987 --> 01:21:41,080
Mendel?
996
01:21:41,189 --> 01:21:44,124
Listen, Mrs. Horowitz-
997
01:21:44,225 --> 01:21:46,125
Is this it, Mendel?
998
01:21:46,227 --> 01:21:50,664
Is this how you want
to handle things?
999
01:22:06,281 --> 01:22:08,511
- Hi, Nelson.
- Sorry, Mrs. Horowitz.
1000
01:22:08,616 --> 01:22:10,811
- The store's off-limits.
- Excuse me?
1001
01:22:10,919 --> 01:22:14,377
Mr. Sender's orders.
Can't let you in.
1002
01:22:14,489 --> 01:22:18,289
Listen to me, Nelson. There are things
in there that belong to me.
1003
01:22:18,393 --> 01:22:22,659
They are mine. I will go in, I'll get
them. I'll be out in ten minutes.
1004
01:22:22,764 --> 01:22:26,461
Can't do it.
Good night, Mrs. Horowitz.
1005
01:23:28,797 --> 01:23:30,890
Welcome home.
1006
01:23:39,174 --> 01:23:44,635
"An apartment he keeps for business,"
his sister says.
1007
01:23:44,746 --> 01:23:48,147
I wonder what she'd say...
1008
01:23:48,249 --> 01:23:52,185
if she knew what kind
of transactions occurred here.
1009
01:23:53,254 --> 01:23:55,415
Make yourself comfortable.
1010
01:23:55,523 --> 01:23:57,753
A bed.
1011
01:23:57,859 --> 01:24:01,226
I would've expected
a desk or a table...
1012
01:24:01,329 --> 01:24:03,729
or maybe just the wall.
1013
01:24:03,832 --> 01:24:06,733
Who'd have thought
you'd have time for a bed?
1014
01:24:12,674 --> 01:24:16,440
Your bitter tone strikes me
as inappropriate...
1015
01:24:16,544 --> 01:24:19,638
considering I've given you
exactly what you want.
1016
01:24:19,747 --> 01:24:22,272
And what is that?
1017
01:24:22,383 --> 01:24:24,476
Your freedom.
1018
01:24:24,586 --> 01:24:26,486
You're free of Mendel.
1019
01:24:26,588 --> 01:24:30,456
You're free of all the everyday
responsibilities that you hate.
1020
01:24:30,558 --> 01:24:35,188
You're free to work at a trade you
enjoy, and live in any manner you wish.
1021
01:24:35,296 --> 01:24:37,196
Free.
1022
01:24:39,067 --> 01:24:40,967
And you?
1023
01:24:46,174 --> 01:24:48,734
Am I free of you, Sender?
1024
01:24:50,078 --> 01:24:52,876
Freedom always comes
with a price.
1025
01:24:55,250 --> 01:24:59,584
And... what's your price?
1026
01:24:59,687 --> 01:25:03,179
A price above that
of your virtue...
1027
01:25:03,291 --> 01:25:06,454
but a price far below rubies.
1028
01:25:11,900 --> 01:25:14,528
You'll have nothing, Sonia.
1029
01:25:14,636 --> 01:25:17,434
Not even this room. Nothing.
1030
01:25:35,723 --> 01:25:38,248
I'm not paying anymore.
1031
01:25:48,002 --> 01:25:52,371
Yeah, sh-she told me, Imma.
Rachel told me that she talked to you.
1032
01:25:52,473 --> 01:25:55,931
But, um, I-I just wanted to call...
1033
01:25:56,044 --> 01:26:00,071
and, uh, a-and make sure that, um-
1034
01:26:01,683 --> 01:26:03,878
No, don't worry.
1035
01:26:03,985 --> 01:26:07,079
No, I-I, I won't be coming home.
1036
01:26:08,389 --> 01:26:10,289
Don't worry.
1037
01:26:30,345 --> 01:26:33,212
What's the rush?
You're late for a party?
1038
01:26:36,851 --> 01:26:38,751
I'm lost.
1039
01:26:38,853 --> 01:26:42,516
You're in the middle of Manhattan.
2nd Avenue and 3rd Street.
1040
01:26:42,624 --> 01:26:45,718
The "J" train, three blocks east.
The I. R. T.'s just around the corner.
1041
01:26:45,827 --> 01:26:49,695
- Nobody's lost here.
- Who are you?
1042
01:26:49,797 --> 01:26:53,528
I'm just a woman who's been too long
on her tired feet.
1043
01:26:53,635 --> 01:26:57,503
Now I'm gonna rest.
You want to join me?
1044
01:27:04,112 --> 01:27:07,548
You've been following me
ever since I moved to Boro Park.
1045
01:27:09,350 --> 01:27:11,443
Who's been following who?
1046
01:27:24,766 --> 01:27:27,166
A little manners
wouldn't kill you.
1047
01:27:27,268 --> 01:27:30,533
I'm not taking from a woman
who has nothing.
1048
01:27:32,840 --> 01:27:36,776
Actually, I have very little.
You're the one who has nothing.
1049
01:27:37,812 --> 01:27:40,178
How would you know that?
1050
01:27:40,281 --> 01:27:42,181
We have a mutual acquaintance.
1051
01:27:44,419 --> 01:27:47,183
She's old.
1052
01:27:47,288 --> 01:27:50,189
As old as God Himself.
1053
01:27:50,291 --> 01:27:53,488
She's beautiful
and very wise.
1054
01:27:53,594 --> 01:27:55,926
But we hate and fear her...
1055
01:27:56,030 --> 01:27:59,488
when we should be making her
our trusted ally.
1056
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,034
This makes her bitter and vengeful.
1057
01:28:02,136 --> 01:28:05,936
And she burns us
in the flames of her spite.
1058
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:07,974
She's sensitive.
1059
01:28:08,076 --> 01:28:10,670
Not very forgiving.
1060
01:28:10,778 --> 01:28:14,305
But if you learn to embrace her,
you will have made a valuable friend.
1061
01:28:17,852 --> 01:28:20,753
And what's God got to say
about all that?
1062
01:28:20,855 --> 01:28:25,622
Hmph. Better to stay
on His good side too.
1063
01:28:30,732 --> 01:28:33,200
It's a little late for that in my case.
1064
01:28:33,301 --> 01:28:36,361
Aah! He's an old bully.
1065
01:28:36,471 --> 01:28:39,133
Best to keep bullies
in their place, I say.
1066
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:41,674
Even the big ones?
1067
01:28:41,776 --> 01:28:44,438
Especially the big ones.
1068
01:30:24,846 --> 01:30:26,746
Bubbie?
1069
01:31:05,286 --> 01:31:07,982
- Where's Shimmie?
- Shimmie? It's 3:00 a. m.
1070
01:31:08,089 --> 01:31:10,751
- He's sleeping in the kids' room.
- Thank you.
1071
01:31:10,858 --> 01:31:13,383
- Mendel, are you all right?
- Yes.
1072
01:31:19,867 --> 01:31:23,359
Mendel?
Mendel, what are you doing?
1073
01:31:25,506 --> 01:31:27,633
I'm taking my son home.
1074
01:31:27,742 --> 01:31:30,142
Mendel, listen to me.
I understand how you feel.
1075
01:31:30,244 --> 01:31:33,179
- But Shimmie needs to stay-
- Shimmie's my son.
1076
01:31:33,281 --> 01:31:36,307
And from now on,
Shimmie's gonna sleep by me.
1077
01:31:36,417 --> 01:31:38,817
I'll appreciate your help
during the days while I'm teaching.
1078
01:31:38,920 --> 01:31:42,151
But from this moment on, every night
I'm gonna do my own learning at home...
1079
01:31:42,256 --> 01:31:44,383
instead of the beit midrash.
1080
01:31:44,492 --> 01:31:47,984
And when I'm home,
Shimmie's gonna sleep by me.
1081
01:31:48,095 --> 01:31:50,859
Mendel, this is not
just about what you want.
1082
01:31:50,965 --> 01:31:53,957
- Shimmie needs-
- That's enough, Rachel!
1083
01:31:56,270 --> 01:31:59,205
I'll get together a couple guys
from the beit midrash.
1084
01:31:59,307 --> 01:32:01,901
We'll be happy to come over nights
and learn at your house.
1085
01:32:03,511 --> 01:32:05,570
We'll learn by you.
1086
01:33:02,637 --> 01:33:04,537
Jesus.
1087
01:33:09,310 --> 01:33:13,246
Ramon, I'm sorry
to wake you up like this.
1088
01:33:14,982 --> 01:33:17,382
I wasn't sleeping.
1089
01:33:25,726 --> 01:33:30,288
After you, uh, took off down the street,
you know, the other day...
1090
01:33:33,267 --> 01:33:37,169
the way you was talking, I thought
I was never gonna see you again.
1091
01:33:38,906 --> 01:33:41,306
I cleaned off my table, you know.
1092
01:33:42,710 --> 01:33:44,769
I ain't stopped working since.
1093
01:33:46,814 --> 01:33:51,376
I mean, the whole time I was thinking
about the way you was walking, you know...
1094
01:33:51,485 --> 01:33:55,444
with your back held up all straight like
you was cracking, but you wouldn't break.
1095
01:33:58,359 --> 01:34:00,953
They are so beautiful.
1096
01:34:10,538 --> 01:34:12,438
All my life...
1097
01:34:12,540 --> 01:34:17,068
I've been trying to make up
for my old man splitting, you know...
1098
01:34:17,178 --> 01:34:19,203
by looking out for my mom.
1099
01:34:26,454 --> 01:34:30,481
It ain't been easy, but...
I don't mind.
1100
01:34:30,591 --> 01:34:32,991
Then you walk in.
1101
01:34:34,795 --> 01:34:39,129
And I think, "Here's another desperate
woman that needs something from me. "
1102
01:34:40,701 --> 01:34:42,601
But I was wrong.
1103
01:34:44,271 --> 01:34:46,569
I need you.
1104
01:34:46,674 --> 01:34:48,574
No.
1105
01:34:51,445 --> 01:34:55,279
You were right to be afraid of me.
1106
01:34:55,382 --> 01:34:59,512
I have destroyed every good thing
I have ever known!
1107
01:34:59,620 --> 01:35:02,589
But I won't destroy you.
1108
01:35:04,325 --> 01:35:07,294
Sometimes a thing
has to be destroyed.
1109
01:35:07,394 --> 01:35:12,297
Walls got to be broke down so you can see
what they've been hiding inside all along.
1110
01:35:15,803 --> 01:35:18,931
You can't even see yourself, can you?
1111
01:35:20,508 --> 01:35:22,408
Look!
1112
01:35:22,510 --> 01:35:24,478
This is nice.
1113
01:35:25,846 --> 01:35:27,814
I agree.
1114
01:35:27,915 --> 01:35:30,406
It's nice.
1115
01:35:30,518 --> 01:35:32,486
But it's a chachka.
1116
01:35:33,888 --> 01:35:35,947
A nice little chachka.
1117
01:35:38,259 --> 01:35:40,159
This, look.
1118
01:35:45,366 --> 01:35:47,698
It's a chain, Sonia.
1119
01:35:47,802 --> 01:35:50,202
That's all it is, a chain.
1120
01:35:56,744 --> 01:35:58,644
Now look at yourself.
1121
01:36:39,053 --> 01:36:41,021
Look at you.
1122
01:37:30,671 --> 01:37:32,571
Sonia?
1123
01:37:34,942 --> 01:37:36,500
Yossi.
1124
01:37:40,481 --> 01:37:42,381
I swam.
1125
01:37:43,918 --> 01:37:45,476
Me too.
1126
01:38:51,719 --> 01:38:54,620
- Yes?
- Is the Rebbitzn home?
1127
01:38:55,856 --> 01:38:57,756
What can I do for you?
1128
01:38:57,858 --> 01:39:00,383
I'd like to see
the Rebbitzn, please.
1129
01:39:00,494 --> 01:39:04,828
The Rebbitzn is still in mourning.
She doesn't grant audience to strangers.
1130
01:39:04,932 --> 01:39:07,332
My name is Sonia.
Please tell her...
1131
01:39:07,434 --> 01:39:10,232
that I am respectfully requesting
a moment of her time.
1132
01:39:10,337 --> 01:39:13,636
I'm sorry, but like I said,
the Rebbitzn won't-
1133
01:39:21,215 --> 01:39:23,115
Make yourself decent...
1134
01:39:23,217 --> 01:39:25,378
before you come in.
1135
01:39:25,486 --> 01:39:28,080
If you don't like the way I look,
then look at your shoes.
1136
01:39:28,188 --> 01:39:31,021
Or stick your nose in a book.
It's your problem, not mine.
1137
01:39:36,230 --> 01:39:38,289
I'm sorry, Rebbitzn,
but this woman...
1138
01:39:38,399 --> 01:39:41,527
- wouldn't listen-
- Yakov.
1139
01:39:55,382 --> 01:39:58,681
At the Rebbe's eulogy...
1140
01:39:58,786 --> 01:40:01,846
may his memory be a blessing,
you came to me.
1141
01:40:02,923 --> 01:40:05,050
You said-
1142
01:40:05,159 --> 01:40:07,184
Thank you.
1143
01:40:07,294 --> 01:40:09,489
Why?
1144
01:40:18,305 --> 01:40:23,072
I was here when you spoke
to Moishe on that day.
1145
01:40:25,979 --> 01:40:29,471
Your words rekindled a fire...
1146
01:40:29,583 --> 01:40:32,484
in a body too old to contain it.
1147
01:40:33,654 --> 01:40:37,090
Like a flash he was consumed.
1148
01:40:42,196 --> 01:40:44,824
His eyes were looking into mine.
1149
01:40:46,867 --> 01:40:49,995
And the last words to pass his lips...
1150
01:40:50,104 --> 01:40:52,766
before he left this world...
1151
01:40:52,873 --> 01:40:56,206
were, "I love you. "
1152
01:41:03,650 --> 01:41:06,710
It was the first time
in 20 years...
1153
01:41:06,820 --> 01:41:09,880
that he spoke those words to me.
1154
01:41:11,625 --> 01:41:14,822
You took a man away
from his people forever.
1155
01:41:14,928 --> 01:41:20,298
But for one night,
you gave a wife back her husband.
1156
01:41:21,435 --> 01:41:24,199
Perhaps I sound selfish to you...
1157
01:41:24,304 --> 01:41:27,137
but you are still young.
1158
01:41:27,241 --> 01:41:29,505
I am very old.
1159
01:41:31,512 --> 01:41:33,412
Someday...
1160
01:41:33,514 --> 01:41:37,177
you might understand me.
1161
01:41:37,284 --> 01:41:39,775
I understand you.
1162
01:41:42,222 --> 01:41:44,122
But with all due respect...
1163
01:41:44,224 --> 01:41:47,421
I'm not planning on waiting
for someday.
1164
01:41:47,528 --> 01:41:50,986
I don't belong here.
1165
01:41:51,098 --> 01:41:53,089
I know that now...
1166
01:41:53,200 --> 01:41:56,101
and I've paid
a heavy price for it.
1167
01:41:56,203 --> 01:41:59,138
I'm leaving my child here.
1168
01:42:01,675 --> 01:42:05,839
It's for the best,
until I do know where I belong.
1169
01:42:10,384 --> 01:42:13,319
I accept your gratitude...
1170
01:42:13,420 --> 01:42:16,446
for returning to you
what should have always been yours.
1171
01:42:16,557 --> 01:42:21,460
But now I'm asking you
to help me reclaim what's mine.
1172
01:42:51,291 --> 01:42:53,191
What's the meaning of this?
1173
01:42:53,293 --> 01:42:56,626
- You Sender's new guy?
- Mrs. Horowitz.
1174
01:42:56,730 --> 01:43:00,530
You look absolutely fantastic,
if I may say so.
1175
01:43:00,634 --> 01:43:04,070
- Sit down, Mr. Fishbein.
I'm, I'm not in the mood.
1176
01:43:10,611 --> 01:43:14,103
I assume the combination
to the safe has been changed.
1177
01:43:14,214 --> 01:43:16,682
Would you be so kind
as to open it for me?
1178
01:43:16,783 --> 01:43:18,717
All these men were gabbaim
to the Rebbe.
1179
01:43:18,819 --> 01:43:23,017
They'll be witnesses to the fact that I
will take only what's mine and nothing more.
1180
01:43:23,123 --> 01:43:25,023
This is a joke?
1181
01:43:59,359 --> 01:44:01,725
Now I'm free.
1182
01:44:16,476 --> 01:44:20,708
I couldn't bear the thought
of your muse going empty-handed.
1183
01:44:22,215 --> 01:44:25,616
I hope she'll be as inspiring to you
as you've been to me.
1184
01:44:28,488 --> 01:44:30,649
She already has been.
1185
01:44:43,570 --> 01:44:45,800
Hold on to it for me.
1186
01:44:45,906 --> 01:44:49,171
Just for a little while.
Okay?
1187
01:44:53,547 --> 01:44:55,447
Sonia?
1188
01:44:55,549 --> 01:44:58,347
Where are you going?
1189
01:45:01,355 --> 01:45:03,846
I don't know.
1190
01:45:08,795 --> 01:45:11,286
If you need a place to-
1191
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:15,163
Stay here with me.
1192
01:45:15,268 --> 01:45:19,227
Ramon.
1193
01:45:20,774 --> 01:45:24,540
- There's someone upstairs
who wants to see you.
1194
01:45:26,947 --> 01:45:29,347
He says he's your husband.
1195
01:45:35,655 --> 01:45:37,885
I'm gonna talk to him.
1196
01:45:40,994 --> 01:45:45,556
Hey, you've got a life, you know.
1197
01:45:47,801 --> 01:45:50,702
Do what you gotta do.
1198
01:45:50,804 --> 01:45:52,897
I ain't going anywhere.
1199
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:08,654
Mendel?
1200
01:46:11,324 --> 01:46:13,588
Sonia.
1201
01:46:13,693 --> 01:46:15,593
You look nice.
1202
01:46:18,698 --> 01:46:20,256
You too.
1203
01:46:23,270 --> 01:46:27,434
Sender told me where I could find you,
in case you were wondering.
1204
01:46:27,541 --> 01:46:29,441
I wasn't.
1205
01:46:33,180 --> 01:46:35,080
How's Shimmie?
1206
01:46:35,182 --> 01:46:38,413
He's good.
He stays by me now.
1207
01:46:38,518 --> 01:46:40,645
Oh, that's good.
1208
01:46:43,690 --> 01:46:45,749
I'm sure he misses you.
1209
01:46:50,030 --> 01:46:52,055
And you?
1210
01:46:52,165 --> 01:46:54,190
Do you miss me?
1211
01:47:00,674 --> 01:47:02,232
And you?
1212
01:47:20,794 --> 01:47:23,194
I- I came to tell you...
1213
01:47:28,635 --> 01:47:31,536
I'm sorry I forgot your birthday.
1214
01:47:35,108 --> 01:47:37,235
My birthday?
1215
01:47:37,344 --> 01:47:40,245
Do you think that's
what all this was about?
1216
01:47:40,347 --> 01:47:42,542
Of course not.
1217
01:47:44,885 --> 01:47:47,649
I've been doing
a lot of thinking...
1218
01:47:47,754 --> 01:47:51,246
about things I never really understood
how to think about before.
1219
01:47:51,358 --> 01:47:54,885
I know that the pain we caused
each other couldn't be helped.
1220
01:47:54,995 --> 01:47:58,328
I am who I am
and you are who you are.
1221
01:47:58,431 --> 01:48:01,696
And we just weren't meant
to be together.
1222
01:48:01,801 --> 01:48:05,396
There was nothing we could've done
other than what we did.
1223
01:48:06,740 --> 01:48:09,641
But I was wrong
to have forgotten your birthday.
1224
01:48:12,612 --> 01:48:15,172
Mendel, you know I,
I can't accept-
1225
01:48:15,282 --> 01:48:17,546
Please, if not for yourself,
then for me.
1226
01:48:17,651 --> 01:48:20,347
Yom Kippur is coming up
and I would like to face God...
1227
01:48:20,453 --> 01:48:22,546
knowing I tried
to do right by you.
1228
01:48:36,603 --> 01:48:39,128
A ruby.
1229
01:48:39,239 --> 01:48:45,041
It's your birthstone.
I looked it up. I bought it loose.
1230
01:48:45,145 --> 01:48:49,605
I figured finding the right setting for
it is your specialty, so why interfere.
1231
01:48:52,452 --> 01:48:54,852
Please...
1232
01:48:54,955 --> 01:48:56,855
come by and visit...
1233
01:48:58,058 --> 01:49:01,084
on evenings or shabbes.
1234
01:49:02,729 --> 01:49:06,130
Shimmie should know
he has a mother who loves him.
1235
01:49:11,404 --> 01:49:15,101
- What would the others say?
- What others?
1236
01:49:15,208 --> 01:49:18,268
As far as Shimmie
is concerned...
1237
01:49:18,378 --> 01:49:21,279
the only voices that matter
belong to his mother...
1238
01:49:22,449 --> 01:49:24,349
and his father.
1239
01:49:38,365 --> 01:49:40,265
Mendel?
1240
01:49:48,241 --> 01:49:50,732
God bless you.
