Dr Gopnik, I believe the results...
63
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,853
...of the physics midterm
were unjust.
64
00:14:57,096 --> 00:14:58,586
Uh-huh? How so?
65
00:14:58,698 --> 00:15:00,928
I received
unsatisfactory grade.
66
00:15:01,033 --> 00:15:03,263
In fact, F,
the failing grade.
67
00:15:03,803 --> 00:15:07,034
Yes. You failed the midterm.
That's accurate.
68
00:15:07,106 --> 00:15:08,698
Yes, but that is not just.
69
00:15:08,941 --> 00:15:11,910
I was unaware to be
examined on the mathematics.
70
00:15:11,978 --> 00:15:15,141
Well, you can't do physics without
mathematics, really, can you?
71
00:15:15,248 --> 00:15:18,706
If I receive the failing
grade, I lose my scholarship,
72
00:15:18,785 --> 00:15:20,082
...and I feel shame.
73
00:15:20,486 --> 00:15:23,819
I understand the physics.
I understand the dead cat.
74
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:27,484
But you can't really
understand the physics...
75
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:29,322
...without understanding
the math.
76
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:33,160
The math tells how it really
works That's the real thing.
77
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:36,827

class are just illustrative.

00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,137
I mean...
80
00:15:43,409 --> 00:15:45,809
Even I don't understand
the dead cat.
81
00:15:45,912 --> 00:15:47,777
The math is how
it really works.
82
00:15:47,847 --> 00:15:49,178

Well, I'm sorry, but I...
85
00:15:52,852 --> 00:15:53,944
What do you propose?
86
00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:55,146
- Passing grade.
- No, no.
87
00:15:55,254 --> 00:15:57,449
Or perhaps I can
take the midterm again.
88
00:15:57,523 --> 00:15:59,286
I know now it cover
the mathematics.
89
00:15:59,358 --> 00:16:02,088
Well, the other students
wouldn't like that, would they?

00:16:02,161 --> 00:16:05,688

test until he gets a grade he likes?

- No...
92

- Hush-hush.
- No.

00:16:10,203 --> 00:16:11,761

Why can't he do it in the

too. Inside the case.

How come?
119
00:17:33,553 --> 00:17:36,545
Bought a lid from Mike
Fagle a couple of weeks ago.
120
00:17:36,622 --> 00:17:37,714
Still owed him 20.
121

He already
gave you the pot?
122
00:17:39,725 --> 00:17:42,888
Yeah. But a couple of weeks
ago, my funding got cut off.
123
00:17:43,262 --> 00:17:45,730
Fagle said he'd pound the crap
out of me if I didn't pay up.

Where do you get your money?

he was confiscating it.

do you get your money?

- You didn't talk to him?
- No.
155
00:20:06,005 --> 00:20:08,405
You know the problems that
you and I have been having?
156
00:20:08,507 --> 00:20:09,531
Mmm-hmm.
157
00:20:09,608 --> 00:20:12,236
Well, Sy and I
have become very close.
158
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,744
In short, I think it's time that
we start talking about a divorce.
159
00:20:24,457 --> 00:20:25,549

160
00:20:25,624 --> 00:20:27,057
This is not about Sy.
161
00:20:27,126 --> 00:20:28,718
You mentioned Sy!

Don't twist my words,
Larry.
163
00:20:30,963 --> 00:20:33,523
A divorce? What have I done?
I haven't done anything.
164
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:35,464
Larry, don't be a child.
165
00:20:35,568 --> 00:20:38,298
You haven't done anything.
I haven't done anything.
166
00:20:38,404 --> 00:20:41,567
Yes! Yes, we haven't
done anything.
167
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,632
And I'm probably
about to get tenure.
168
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:48,145
Nevertheless, there have
been problems, as you know...
169
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:50,579
- Well...
- ...and things have changed.
170

Sy has come into

172
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,416
Come into your... What does
that mean? You barely know him.

Yes, but you said

00:35:40,538 --> 00:35:41,835
Uh-huh.
356
00:35:41,940 --> 00:35:42,940
That's great.
357
00:35:44,542 --> 00:35:46,976
- Mr. Brandt...
- I said scrub up, Mitch!
358
00:35:51,883 --> 00:35:53,316
Isn't this a school day?
359
00:35:53,385 --> 00:35:55,785
I took him out of school today
so he could hunt with his dad.
360
00:35:58,723 --> 00:36:00,554
(CLEARING THROAT) Uh, Mr Brandt,
361
00:36:00,659 --> 00:36:02,627
...that's just about at
the property line there.
362
00:36:02,694 --> 00:36:04,138
I don't think
we're supposed to get...
363
00:36:04,162 --> 00:36:06,402
...within, what, 10 feet...
- Property line's the poplar.
364
00:36:08,066 --> 00:36:09,294
- The...
- Poplar.
365
00:36:09,968 --> 00:36:12,630
- Well, even if it is, you're just about over it.
- Measure.
366
00:36:12,737 --> 00:36:15,706
- I don't have to measure, you can tell it's...
- Line's the poplar.
367
00:36:17,142 --> 00:36:18,200
What's going on?
368
00:36:18,643 --> 00:36:19,667
Nothing.
369
00:36:22,414 --> 00:36:24,177
- JUDITH: Larry?
- Yeah?
370
00:36:24,249 --> 00:36:25,841
Did you go to
Sieglestein Schlutz?
371
00:36:25,917 --> 00:36:27,009
LARRY: No, I...
Not yet.
372
00:36:27,085 --> 00:36:28,143
Larry.
373
00:36:28,219 --> 00:36:29,481
Appointment Monday.
374
00:36:29,554 --> 00:36:30,851
Where are you going?
375
00:36:30,922 --> 00:36:32,184
I'm going to the Hole.
376
00:36:32,257 --> 00:36:33,849
What? At 5:00?
377
00:36:33,925 --> 00:36:36,565
We're stopping at Laurie Kipperstein's
house so I can wash my hair.
378
00:36:37,028 --> 00:36:38,052
Hi, Mr Gopnik.
379
00:36:38,430 --> 00:36:40,675
- You can't wash it here?
- Uncle Arthur's in the bathroom.
380
00:36:40,699 --> 00:36:42,257
ARTHUR: I'll be out
in a minute!
381
00:36:42,367 --> 00:36:43,511
- JUDITH: Are you ready?
- Huh?
382
00:36:43,535 --> 00:36:45,025
- We're meeting Sy at Embers.
- I am?
383
00:36:45,103 --> 00:36:47,435
Both of us.
I told you, Larry.
384
00:36:49,441 --> 00:36:50,669
Larry.
385
00:36:55,046 --> 00:36:56,104
How are you?
386
00:36:57,916 --> 00:36:58,940
Sy.
387
00:37:01,519 --> 00:37:02,543
Hello, Judith.
388
00:37:02,620 --> 00:37:03,620
Hello, Sy.
389
00:37:05,857 --> 00:37:09,088
Larry, I want to
thank you for coming.
390
00:37:09,394 --> 00:37:12,921
It's so important that we be
able to discuss these things.
391
00:37:13,031 --> 00:37:14,726
I'm happy to come
to Embers, Sy.
392
00:37:14,799 --> 00:37:17,290
But I'm thinking, really,
maybe it's best to leave...
393
00:37:17,402 --> 00:37:18,779
...these discussions
to the lawyers.
394
00:37:18,803 --> 00:37:21,636
Of course Legal matters,
you let the lawyers discuss.
395
00:37:21,740 --> 00:37:23,731
You don't mix
apples and oranges.
396
00:37:23,808 --> 00:37:25,241
I have begged you
to see the lawyer.
397
00:37:25,310 --> 00:37:26,572
I told you,
I'm going Monday.
398
00:37:26,644 --> 00:37:29,306
Monday is timely.
This is not...
399
00:37:29,414 --> 00:37:33,077
Please, Embers is not the forum
for legalities You're so right.
400
00:37:33,151 --> 00:37:34,243
(SCOFFS)
401
00:37:34,319 --> 00:37:37,811
No, Judith and I wanted
merely to discuss, uh,
402
00:37:38,656 --> 00:37:41,090
...practicalities.
Living arrangements.
403
00:37:41,459 --> 00:37:45,259
After all, this is an issue
where no one is at odds.
404
00:37:45,330 --> 00:37:46,490
Living arrangements?
405
00:37:47,665 --> 00:37:50,896
I think we all agree
that the children...
406
00:37:50,969 --> 00:37:54,063
...not being contaminated
with the tension,
407
00:37:54,139 --> 00:37:55,265
...the most important.
408
00:37:55,340 --> 00:37:57,418
We shouldn't put the kids
in the middle of this, Larry.
409
00:37:57,442 --> 00:37:58,466
The kids aren't...
410
00:37:58,576 --> 00:38:00,476
I'm saying "we."
I'm not pointing fingers.
411
00:38:00,578 --> 00:38:03,274
No one is playing
the blame game, Larry.
412
00:38:03,348 --> 00:38:04,440
I didn't say
anyone was.
413
00:38:04,516 --> 00:38:06,484
Well, let's not play
"He Said, She Said," either.
414
00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:08,609
- I wasn't! I...
- All right. Look, look, look.
415
00:38:08,686 --> 00:38:12,452
Let's just take a step back and
we can diffuse the situation.
416
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:18,153
You know, Larry,
sometimes I find that...
417
00:38:18,263 --> 00:38:19,924
...if I count to 10...
418
00:38:21,866 --> 00:38:22,924
One,
419
00:38:24,202 --> 00:38:25,202
...two,
420
00:38:26,704 --> 00:38:27,762
...three,
421
00:38:29,207 --> 00:38:30,435
...four...
422
00:38:30,842 --> 00:38:32,707
Or silently.
423
00:38:40,151 --> 00:38:42,813
Really, to keep things
on an even keel...
424
00:38:42,887 --> 00:38:44,787
...leading up to
Danny's bar mitzvah...
425
00:38:44,856 --> 00:38:46,653
A child's
bar mitzvah, Larry.
426
00:38:46,724 --> 00:38:50,455
Sy and I think it's best if
you move out of the house.
427
00:38:51,796 --> 00:38:52,796
Move out?
428
00:38:52,897 --> 00:38:55,376
- Well, it makes eminent sense.
- Things can't continue as they...
429
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,867
Move out?
Where would I go?
430
00:38:56,968 --> 00:39:00,028
Well, for instance, the
Jolly Roger is quite livable.
431
00:39:00,138 --> 00:39:01,400
It's not expensive.
432
00:39:01,506 --> 00:39:04,066
The rooms are
eminently habitable.
433
00:39:04,175 --> 00:39:05,695
This would allow you
to visit the kids.
434
00:39:05,743 --> 00:39:07,836
There's convenience in its
favor They've got a pool.
435
00:39:07,912 --> 00:39:10,574
Wouldn't it make more sense
for you to move in with Sy?
436
00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:13,642
Larry.
437
00:39:14,052 --> 00:39:17,180
Larry, you...
You are jesting.
438
00:39:18,223 --> 00:39:21,021
I think, really,
the Jolly Roger...
439
00:39:21,092 --> 00:39:24,152
...is the appropriate
course of action.

I don't think it's that.

- Yes.
- No,

...it would be a culture clash if
it were the custom in your land...

...to bribe people
for grades.
463
00:40:17,315 --> 00:40:18,441
Yes.
464
00:40:19,984 --> 00:40:22,145
So, you're saying
it is the custom?
465
00:40:22,253 --> 00:40:25,552
No, this is defamation.
Ground for lawsuit.
466
00:40:26,157 --> 00:40:27,249
Let me get this straight.
467
00:40:27,325 --> 00:40:29,919
You're threatening to sue
me for defaming your son?
468

Yes.

See, look...
473
00:40:48,947 --> 00:40:50,658
If it were defamation,
there would have to be...
474
00:40:50,682 --> 00:40:52,775
...someone I was defaming him to, or I...
475
00:40:52,850 --> 00:40:54,909
All right,
let's keep it simple.
476
00:40:54,986 --> 00:40:58,422

appeared That's not defaming anyone.

Yes. And passing grade.

00:41:01,526 --> 00:41:03,153
- Passing grade?
- Yes.

00:41:04,162 --> 00:41:05,754
Or you'll sue me?

This is defamation!
483
00:41:11,369 --> 00:41:14,463

he left the money or he didn't.

good with numbers.
487
00:41:30,688 --> 00:41:34,055
I think his social skills
have held him back.

00:41:34,158 --> 00:41:36,149
Such a sweet man, though.
489
00:41:36,227 --> 00:41:37,524
Arthur has
a good heart.
490
00:41:38,629 --> 00:41:41,029
And he never complains,
unlike me.
491
00:41:42,066 --> 00:41:44,000
Sometimes I don't
give him enough credit.
492
00:41:44,068 --> 00:41:47,834
He tried to tell me about this
thing he's working on, this...
493
00:41:47,905 --> 00:41:49,736
The Mentaculus.
494
00:41:50,575 --> 00:41:56,070
He says it's a probability
map of the universe.
495
00:41:57,081 --> 00:41:59,413
Does he go out
socially at all?
496
00:42:00,051 --> 00:42:03,509
He tries. He's been going to the
singles mixers at Hillel House.
497
00:42:05,757 --> 00:42:08,055
I should talk.
I'm not doing any better.
498
00:42:09,427 --> 00:42:10,689
How is Judith?
499
00:42:12,864 --> 00:42:15,526
Fine. She's fine.
500
00:42:17,402 --> 00:42:20,371
Sometimes these things
just aren't meant to be.
501
00:42:20,438 --> 00:42:24,340
And it can take a while before
you feel what was always there.
502
00:42:24,409 --> 00:42:26,775
- For better or worse.
- I never felt it!
503
00:42:27,779 --> 00:42:30,077
It was a bolt
from the blue.
504
00:42:30,181 --> 00:42:31,375
What does that mean?
505
00:42:31,449 --> 00:42:35,215
Everything that I thought was
one way turns out to be another.
506
00:42:36,254 --> 00:42:40,918
Then, it's an opportunity to
learn how things really are.
507
00:42:42,293 --> 00:42:43,692
I don't mean to sound glib.
508
00:42:46,097 --> 00:42:49,794
It's not always easy deciphering
what God is trying to tell you,
509
00:42:50,368 --> 00:42:53,531
...but it's not something you have
to figure out all by yourself.
510
00:42:55,039 --> 00:42:56,301
We're Jews.
511
00:42:56,774 --> 00:43:00,710
We've got that well of tradition
to draw on, to help us understand.
512
00:43:01,379 --> 00:43:04,075
When we're puzzled,
we have all the stories...
513
00:43:04,148 --> 00:43:07,879
...that have been handed down from
people who had the same problems.
514
00:43:09,887 --> 00:43:11,912

515
00:43:15,660 --> 00:43:16,660
Why not see him?
516
00:43:16,727 --> 00:43:18,388
What's the Rabbi
gonna tell me?
517
00:43:18,796 --> 00:43:20,491
If I knew,
I'd be the Rabbi.
518
00:43:20,832 --> 00:43:24,563
(EXCLAIMS) The air out
here is magnificent.
519
00:43:26,003 --> 00:43:30,167
I'm telling you, if someone
could bottle this air,
520
00:43:30,274 --> 00:43:32,071
...they'd make
a million dollars.
521
00:43:48,860 --> 00:43:50,760
Hello, Larry.
Good to see you.
522
00:43:50,828 --> 00:43:52,193
Oh. Rabbi Scott.
523
00:43:53,531 --> 00:43:55,658
I thought I was going
to see Rabbi Nachtner.
524
00:43:55,766 --> 00:43:57,859
He was called away
on an etz monim.
525
00:43:57,969 --> 00:44:01,666
Ruth Brynn's mother is in the
hospital and she isn't doing well.
526
00:44:01,772 --> 00:44:05,037
Rabbi Nachtner asked me to
cover for him. Come on in.
527
00:44:16,721 --> 00:44:20,122
And she wants a gett.
528
00:44:25,129 --> 00:44:26,221
A what?
529
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:30,697
- She wants a...
- Oh, a gett.
530
00:44:30,801 --> 00:44:32,359
Uh-huh. Sure.
531
00:44:33,137 --> 00:44:35,833
I feel like the carpet's
been yanked out from under me.
532
00:44:35,907 --> 00:44:38,171
(STAMMERING) I don't
know which end is up.
533
00:44:38,242 --> 00:44:40,039
I'm not even sure
how to react.
534
00:44:40,144 --> 00:44:41,475
I'm too confused.
535
00:44:41,913 --> 00:44:45,576
What reasons did she
give for the rupture?
536
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:48,243
She didn't give reasons
Just that,
537
00:44:48,352 --> 00:44:50,582
...you know, things
haven't been going well.
538
00:44:50,688 --> 00:44:51,746
And is that true?
539
00:44:52,423 --> 00:44:53,913
I guess.
I don't know.
540
00:44:54,025 --> 00:44:56,186
She's usually right
about these things.
541
00:44:56,260 --> 00:44:58,728
I was hoping that
Rabbi Nachtner could...
542
00:44:59,230 --> 00:45:01,255
That he would...
He would... Yes?
543
00:45:01,365 --> 00:45:03,595
Well, with the benefit
of his life experience.
544
00:45:04,368 --> 00:45:05,528
No offense.
545
00:45:05,603 --> 00:45:08,766
(CHUCKLING) No, of course
not I am the junior rabbi.
546
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:13,206
And it's true, the point of
view of somebody who's older...
547
00:45:13,277 --> 00:45:17,714
...and perhaps had similar
problems might be more valid.
548
00:45:17,782 --> 00:45:20,842
And you should see the senior
rabbi as well, by all means.
549
00:45:20,918 --> 00:45:22,112
Or even Marshak,
550
00:45:22,620 --> 00:45:24,383
...if you can get in.
551
00:45:24,455 --> 00:45:27,049
He's quite busy,
but maybe...
552
00:45:31,395 --> 00:45:32,919
Can I share
something with you?
553
00:45:33,297 --> 00:45:36,198
Because I, too, have had
the feeling of losing track...
554
00:45:36,267 --> 00:45:39,065
...of Hashem,
which is the problem here.
555
00:45:39,604 --> 00:45:42,402
I, too, have forgotten
how to see him in the world,
556
00:45:42,473 --> 00:45:44,532
...and when that happens,
you think,
557
00:45:44,609 --> 00:45:48,602
"Well, if I can't see him,
he isn't there. He's gone."
558
00:45:48,879 --> 00:45:50,471
But that's not the case.
559
00:45:50,982 --> 00:45:53,974
You just need to
remember how to see him.
560
00:45:54,085 --> 00:45:56,383
(CHUCKLING) Am I right? I mean...
561
00:45:57,488 --> 00:45:59,479
The parking lot here.
562
00:46:02,493 --> 00:46:03,926
Not much to see.
563
00:46:04,562 --> 00:46:07,258
But if you imagine
yourself a visitor,
564
00:46:08,099 --> 00:46:12,001
...somebody who isn't familiar
with these autos and such,
565
00:46:12,103 --> 00:46:14,663
...somebody still with
the capacity for wonder.
566
00:46:14,772 --> 00:46:17,935
Someone with
a fresh perspective.
567
00:46:18,509 --> 00:46:19,806
That's what it is, Larry.
568
00:46:19,910 --> 00:46:21,935
Because with
the right perspective,
569
00:46:22,013 --> 00:46:25,471
...you can see Hashem, you
know, reaching into the world.
570
00:46:25,583 --> 00:46:28,313
He is in the world,
not just in shul.
571
00:46:29,020 --> 00:46:33,923
It sounds to me like you're looking
at the world, looking at your wife,
572
00:46:33,991 --> 00:46:35,925
...through tired eyes.
573
00:46:36,594 --> 00:46:40,189
It sounds like she's
become a sort of thing...
574
00:46:40,931 --> 00:46:42,455
A problem.
575
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,126
A thing.
576
00:46:44,201 --> 00:46:46,328
She is seeing Sy Ableman.
577
00:46:51,142 --> 00:46:52,973
- Oh.
- They're planning...
578
00:46:53,044 --> 00:46:54,511
That's why
they want the gett.
579
00:46:54,612 --> 00:46:56,842
Oh I'm sorry.
580
00:46:56,947 --> 00:46:58,471
It was his idea.
581
00:46:58,549 --> 00:47:03,987
Well, they do need a gett
to remarry in the faith.
582
00:47:05,222 --> 00:47:08,214
But... This is life.
583
00:47:09,226 --> 00:47:13,060
You have to see these things
as expressions of God's will.
584
00:47:13,164 --> 00:47:15,064
You don't have to
like it, of course.
585
00:47:15,499 --> 00:47:17,831
The boss isn't always right,
but he's always the boss.
586
00:47:17,902 --> 00:47:19,699
(LAUGHING) That's right!
587
00:47:20,304 --> 00:47:21,532
Things aren't so bad.
588
00:47:21,639 --> 00:47:23,903
Look at
the parking lot, Larry.
589
00:47:25,576 --> 00:47:27,806
Just look at
that parking lot.
590
00:47:31,515 --> 00:47:33,142
(PANTING)
591
00:47:43,861 --> 00:47:45,089
Are we eating already?
592
00:47:45,196 --> 00:47:46,595
Sarah's going out.
593
00:47:47,264 --> 00:47:48,561
Ow! Cut it out!
594
00:47:48,666 --> 00:47:49,894
What's going on?
595
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,207
Isn't Dad eating?
596
00:47:57,274 --> 00:47:58,605
JUDITH: He's at
the Jolly Roger.
597
00:47:59,677 --> 00:48:00,905
Oh, yeah.
598
00:48:01,445 --> 00:48:02,776
(ALL SLURPING)
599
00:48:06,283 --> 00:48:07,375
How are you, Larry?
600
00:48:07,451 --> 00:48:09,942
Jesus, I am so sorry...
601
00:48:10,087 --> 00:48:12,578
- ...to be seeing you under these circumstances.
- Oh, well...
602
00:48:12,690 --> 00:48:15,250
I always thought you
and Judy were rock solid.
603
00:48:15,359 --> 00:48:18,590
This is so terrible, Larry.
This is devastating.
604
00:48:18,696 --> 00:48:20,107
Well, you know,
the way I look at it,
605
00:48:20,131 --> 00:48:23,692
...it's an opportunity for me to
really sit down and figure things out...
606
00:48:23,768 --> 00:48:28,034
...and look at the world afresh
instead of just, you know,
607
00:48:28,105 --> 00:48:32,041
...settling for the routine, tired
old way of looking at things.
608
00:48:33,811 --> 00:48:34,937
Really?
609
00:48:36,247 --> 00:48:37,714
I don't know,
maybe not.
610
00:48:39,383 --> 00:48:42,716
Well, legally,
I have to warn you,
611
00:48:42,787 --> 00:48:45,255
...it's never easy
for the husband.
612
00:48:45,322 --> 00:48:48,155
Unless, of course,
there's some question...
613
00:48:48,259 --> 00:48:52,491
...of the wife having violated
the marriage contract?
614
00:48:52,596 --> 00:48:54,621
Oh, no, no
Nothing like that.
615
00:48:54,732 --> 00:48:57,292
Although she is planning to
marry Sy Ableman, but they...
616
00:48:57,401 --> 00:48:58,766
Sy Ableman!
617
00:48:59,837 --> 00:49:02,931
- Yes. But they...
- Esther is barely cold!
618
00:49:03,741 --> 00:49:05,072
She passed
three years ago.
619
00:49:05,142 --> 00:49:09,340
Well... Still, this changes
the complexion, Larry.
620
00:49:09,814 --> 00:49:11,179
Sy Ableman.
621
00:49:11,282 --> 00:49:14,080
Not in the sense that... T
here hasn't been hanky-panky.
622
00:49:14,151 --> 00:49:15,243
To my knowledge.
623
00:49:15,352 --> 00:49:18,617
- Oh?
- No I'm fairly certain this is not an issue.
624
00:49:18,689 --> 00:49:21,852
And in fact,
Judith wants a gett.
625
00:49:24,428 --> 00:49:25,520
A what?
626
00:49:26,697 --> 00:49:28,187
A ritual divorce.
627
00:49:28,299 --> 00:49:30,426
- Oh.
- So that they can remarry in the faith.
628
00:49:30,501 --> 00:49:32,765
Uh-huh.
Yeah, sure, uh...
629
00:49:32,837 --> 00:49:34,862
Well, not really
a legal issue.
630
00:49:36,774 --> 00:49:38,036
Okay, um...
631
00:49:39,109 --> 00:49:40,974
Good. Good.
632
00:49:41,779 --> 00:49:43,474

On the other thing, the

634
00:49:47,051 --> 00:49:49,679
I've asked Solomon
Schlutz to take a look.
635
00:49:49,787 --> 00:49:53,154
There's very little to do with
real estate that'll get by Sol.
636
00:49:53,224 --> 00:49:54,987
Okay Good
How do you...
637
00:49:55,059 --> 00:49:56,549
I guess
I'm a little worried.
638
00:49:56,660 --> 00:49:58,821
How do you...
I have money pressures...
639
00:49:58,896 --> 00:50:00,989
Our fee structure?
We bill by the hour.
640
00:50:01,065 --> 00:50:04,330
Dave Sieglestein and
Solomon Schlutz bill at 110.
641
00:50:04,401 --> 00:50:07,234
The associates, me,
for instance, bill at...

Danny at home.

- DANNY: Hey, Dad.
- Are you all right?

00:50:19,917 --> 00:50:20,917
Are you all...
648
00:50:21,018 --> 00:50:22,383
F Troop is fuzzy.
649
00:50:24,255 --> 00:50:25,517
What?
650
00:50:25,589 --> 00:50:27,352
F Troop is still fuzzy.
651
00:50:30,261 --> 00:50:32,092
- Dad?
- Is everything okay?

it's Dick Dutton again.

Dick Dutton.
662
00:52:28,946 --> 00:52:29,970
Hello?
663
00:52:30,047 --> 00:52:31,605
Hello, Mr Gopnik?
664
00:52:31,682 --> 00:52:34,378
This is Dick Dutton from
the Columbia Record Club.
665
00:52:34,485 --> 00:52:37,511
I'm calling because
it's now four months,
666
00:52:37,621 --> 00:52:39,987
...and we have yet to
receive your first payment.
667
00:52:42,493 --> 00:52:43,983
(STAMMERING) There's some mistake.
668
00:52:44,061 --> 00:52:46,393
I'm not a member
of the Columbian Record Club.
669
00:52:46,497 --> 00:52:50,194
Sir, you are Lawrence Gopnik
of 8419 Fern Hill Road?
670
00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:51,995
No, I live
at the Jolly Roger.
671
00:52:52,069 --> 00:52:53,161
Excuse me?
672
00:52:53,837 --> 00:52:55,134
No, I...
673
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,201
Well, yes, okay.
674
00:52:58,308 --> 00:53:00,208
- Yes, you are Lawrence Gopnik?
- Okay.
675
00:53:00,911 --> 00:53:01,969
"Okay" means...
676
00:53:02,046 --> 00:53:04,310
Okay, yes,
Lawrence Gopnik, yes.
677
00:53:04,381 --> 00:53:07,350
Okay, well, you received
your 12 introductory albums,
678
00:53:07,418 --> 00:53:10,979
...and you've been receiving the monthly
main selection for four months now...
679
00:53:11,055 --> 00:53:12,732
The monthly main selection?
Is that a record?
680
00:53:12,756 --> 00:53:14,519
I didn't ask
for any records.
681
00:53:14,591 --> 00:53:17,754
To receive the monthly main
selection, you do nothing. You...
682
00:53:17,860 --> 00:53:19,418
That's right.
I haven't done anything.
683
00:53:19,529 --> 00:53:22,191
Yes, that's why you received
the monthly main selection.

00:53:22,331 --> 00:53:27,030
- (STAMMERING) But...
- The last one was Santana Abraxas. You...

I didn't ask
for Santana Abraxas.
686
00:53:30,673 --> 00:53:32,766
You request
the main selection...
687
00:53:32,875 --> 00:53:35,366
...at the retail price
by doing nothing.
688
00:53:35,445 --> 00:53:37,379
It's automatically
mailed to you,
689
00:53:37,447 --> 00:53:38,937
...plus shipping
and handling.

- I can't afford a new record every month!

00:53:59,302 --> 00:54:00,462
I'm sorry, sir.
698
00:54:02,371 --> 00:54:05,738
Well, thank you.
But I...
699
00:54:06,642 --> 00:54:07,642
Are you okay?
700
00:54:09,779 --> 00:54:12,748
Yes, yes.
No one was hurt.
701
00:54:13,983 --> 00:54:16,474
Okay. Good.
702
00:54:17,787 --> 00:54:21,917
Well, you had 14 days to
listen to Santana Abraxas.
703
00:54:21,991 --> 00:54:23,049
- Sir?
- Look...
704
00:54:23,126 --> 00:54:25,822
(STAMMERING) I didn't ask
for Santana Abraxas,
705
00:54:25,928 --> 00:54:29,420
I didn't listen
to Santana Abraxas,
706
00:54:29,499 --> 00:54:31,433
I didn't do anything!
707
00:54:31,501 --> 00:54:33,435
- Sir! Your son.
- Mr. Gopnik...
708
00:54:33,503 --> 00:54:34,936
He says it's urgent.
709
00:54:35,004 --> 00:54:36,381
We can't make you
listen to the record...
710
00:54:36,405 --> 00:54:38,066
- Okay, okay, okay...
- We provide...
711
00:54:38,141 --> 00:54:39,608
Okay, I have to
call you back.
712
00:54:39,675 --> 00:54:41,487
- This is... I'm sorry.
- No, no, Mr. Gopnik, please...
713
00:54:41,511 --> 00:54:43,069
- Danny?
- DANNY: Yeah. Listen, Dad...
714
00:54:43,146 --> 00:54:44,841
Did you join
the Columbia Record Club?
715
00:54:47,350 --> 00:54:48,510
- Danny?
- Um...
716
00:54:48,618 --> 00:54:51,849
Danny, this is completely
unacceptable. I can't afford to...
717
00:54:51,954 --> 00:54:53,649
Okay, Dad, but you
gotta come home.
718
00:54:55,158 --> 00:54:56,420

719
00:54:56,492 --> 00:54:58,426
No, Mom's real upset.

Yes?
723
00:55:12,708 --> 00:55:14,676
Does this mean I can't
go to the Hole tonight?
724
00:55:14,777 --> 00:55:16,677
Does what mean?
What happened?
725
00:55:16,779 --> 00:55:19,111
Oh, Sy Ableman,
he died in a car crash.
726
00:55:19,182 --> 00:55:20,206
DANNY: Hey, Dad.
727
00:55:20,650 --> 00:55:21,674
What?
728
00:55:21,784 --> 00:55:23,183
So you're coming back home?
729
00:55:24,187 --> 00:55:25,313
Can you fix
the aerial?
730
00:55:25,388 --> 00:55:26,446
What?
731
00:55:26,522 --> 00:55:28,649
It's still,
you know...

00:56:02,592 --> 00:56:05,220
She seems to be
asking an awful lot.
735
00:56:07,029 --> 00:56:08,997
But then...
I don't know.
736
00:56:09,432 --> 00:56:11,593
Somebody has to pay
for Sy's funeral.
737

Uh-huh.
738
00:56:13,603 --> 00:56:15,036
His own estate
is in probate,
739
00:56:15,104 --> 00:56:16,935
...but why does it
have to be me?
740
00:56:17,039 --> 00:56:19,166
Or is it wrong
to complain?

Judy says it is.
742
00:56:21,577 --> 00:56:23,545
But I'm so strapped
for cash right now,
743
00:56:23,613 --> 00:56:26,548
...carrying the mortgage, and
paying for the Jolly Roger,
744
00:56:26,616 --> 00:56:30,052
...and I wrecked the car, and
Danny's bar mitzvah coming up, I...
745
00:56:30,119 --> 00:56:32,952
Something like this,
there's never a good time.

I don't know
where it all leaves me.
747
00:56:36,459 --> 00:56:37,585
Sy's death.
748
00:56:39,061 --> 00:56:42,087
Obviously, it's not going
to go back like it was.
749
00:56:42,198 --> 00:56:43,198
Mmm.
750
00:56:43,266 --> 00:56:45,200
- Would you even want that, Larry?
- No, I...
751
00:56:45,268 --> 00:56:48,704
Well, yeah.
Sometimes.
752
00:56:49,405 --> 00:56:50,405
Or...
753
00:56:51,274 --> 00:56:53,105
I don't know.
I guess...
754
00:56:53,743 --> 00:56:56,211
...the honest answer is,
I don't know.
755
00:56:56,279 --> 00:56:59,715
What was my life before?
Not what I thought it was.
756
00:57:00,650 --> 00:57:01,912
So what does it all mean?
757
00:57:01,984 --> 00:57:04,316
What is Hashem
trying to tell me,
758
00:57:04,420 --> 00:57:06,752
...making me pay for
Sy Ableman's funeral?
759
00:57:06,822 --> 00:57:08,084
- Mmm.
- And did I tell you...
760
00:57:08,157 --> 00:57:11,092
I had a car accident
the same time Sy had his?
761
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:13,458
- The same instant, for all I know.
- Mmm.
762
00:57:13,562 --> 00:57:17,293
Is Hashem trying to tell
me that Sy Ableman is me?
763
00:57:17,767 --> 00:57:20,292
Or that we are all one
or something?
764
00:57:21,771 --> 00:57:23,398
How does God speak to us?
765
00:57:24,573 --> 00:57:25,665
It's a good question.
766
00:57:26,676 --> 00:57:27,802
You know Lee Sussman.
767
00:57:28,577 --> 00:57:30,602
Dr Sussman?
I think I... Yeah.
768
00:57:31,247 --> 00:57:33,681
Did he ever tell you
about the goy's teeth?
769
00:57:34,317 --> 00:57:36,342
No Uh, what goy?
770
00:57:36,452 --> 00:57:39,580
So, Lee is at work one day.
771
00:57:40,022 --> 00:57:43,150
You know, he has the orthodontic
practice there at Great Bear.
772
00:57:44,927 --> 00:57:46,292
He's making a plaster mold.
773
00:57:46,362 --> 00:57:49,957
It's for corrective bridgework in
the mouth of one of his patents,
774
00:57:50,032 --> 00:57:51,522
Russell Krauss.
775
00:58:03,346 --> 00:58:05,610
The mold dries, and Lee
is examining it one day...
776
00:58:05,681 --> 00:58:08,047
...before fabricating
an appliance.
777
00:58:08,150 --> 00:58:09,845
He notices
something unusual.
778
00:58:13,155 --> 00:58:15,953
There appears to be
something engraved...
779
00:58:16,025 --> 00:58:18,892
...on the inside of the
patent s lower incisors.
780
00:58:26,902 --> 00:58:30,360
Hey vav shin yud ayin nun yud.
781
00:58:32,074 --> 00:58:34,008
Ho-she-ay-ni.
782
00:58:34,076 --> 00:58:36,408
"Help me. Save me."
783
00:58:36,712 --> 00:58:38,907
This, in a goy's mouth, Larry.
784
00:58:45,988 --> 00:58:47,649
He calls the goy back...
785
00:58:47,723 --> 00:58:51,022
...on the pretense of needling additional
measurements for the appliance.
786
00:58:51,394 --> 00:58:52,588
"How are you?"
787
00:58:53,729 --> 00:58:55,697
"Noticed any other
problems with your teeth?"
788
00:58:57,867 --> 00:58:58,867
"No."
789
00:59:06,609 --> 00:59:07,837
There it is.
790
00:59:08,444 --> 00:59:10,002
Ho-she-ay-ni.
791
00:59:10,079 --> 00:59:11,079
"Help me."
792
00:59:12,081 --> 00:59:13,081
Son of a gun.
793
00:59:16,419 --> 00:59:17,784
Sussman goes home.
794
00:59:18,687 --> 00:59:20,450
Can Sussman eat?
Sussman can't eat.
795
00:59:21,357 --> 00:59:23,791
Can Sussman sleep?
Sussman can't sleep.
796
00:59:29,965 --> 00:59:32,433
Sussman looks at the molds
of his other patents,
797
00:59:32,535 --> 00:59:33,797
...goy and Jew alike,
798
00:59:33,903 --> 00:59:35,962
...seeking other messages.
He finds none.
799
00:59:36,906 --> 00:59:38,567
He looks In his own mouth.
800
00:59:39,208 --> 00:59:40,232
Nothing.
801
00:59:41,143 --> 00:59:43,043
He looks
in his wife's mouth.
802
00:59:48,584 --> 00:59:49,710
Nothing.
803
00:59:50,586 --> 00:59:52,747
But Sussman
is an educated man.
804
00:59:53,155 --> 00:59:54,816
Not the world's
greatest sage, maybe.
805
00:59:54,924 --> 00:59:56,152
No Rabbi Marshak.
806
00:59:56,492 --> 00:59:59,484
But he knows a thing or two
about the Zohar and the Kabbalah.
807
00:59:59,595 --> 01:00:02,962
He knows that every Hebrew
letter has its numeric equivalent.
808
01:00:03,065 --> 01:00:05,932
8- 4-5-4-4-7-3
809
01:00:06,001 --> 01:00:08,333
Seven digits.
A phone number, maybe?
810
01:00:10,473 --> 01:00:14,068
"Hello? Do you know a goy
named Krauss, Russell Krauss?"
811
01:00:14,143 --> 01:00:15,167
"Who?"
812
01:00:15,277 --> 01:00:16,471
"Where have I called?"
813
01:00:17,179 --> 01:00:20,171
"The Red Owl in Bloomington?
Thanks so much."
814
01:00:24,854 --> 01:00:26,014
He goes.
815
01:00:28,757 --> 01:00:31,749
It's a Red Owl
Groceries, what have you.
816
01:00:34,830 --> 01:00:37,765
Sussman goes home
What does it mean?
817
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,169
He has to find out if he
is ever to sleep again.
818
01:00:41,871 --> 01:00:43,202
He goes to see...
819
01:00:44,874 --> 01:00:45,966
...the Rabbi Nachtner.
820
01:00:46,041 --> 01:00:48,942
He comes In, he sits right
where you're sitting, right now.
821
01:00:49,645 --> 01:00:51,010
"What does it mean, Rabbi?"
822
01:00:52,214 --> 01:00:54,682
- (INAUDIBLE)
- "Is it a sign from Hashem? 'Help me'."
823
01:00:54,783 --> 01:00:57,343
"I, Sussman, should be doing
something to help this goy."
824
01:00:57,453 --> 01:00:59,546
"Doing what?
The teeth don't say."
825
01:00:59,655 --> 01:01:03,284
"Or maybe I'm supposed to help people
generally lead a more righteous life?"
826
01:01:04,460 --> 01:01:06,985
"Is the answer
in Kabbalah? In Torah?"
827
01:01:07,897 --> 01:01:09,728
"Or is there even a question?"
828
01:01:10,733 --> 01:01:14,225
"Tell me, Rabbi,
what can such a sign..."
829
01:01:14,570 --> 01:01:15,798
"...mean?"
830
01:01:23,879 --> 01:01:25,210
So? What did
you tell him?
831
01:01:26,749 --> 01:01:27,749
Sussman?
832
01:01:28,017 --> 01:01:29,245
Yes.
833
01:01:29,351 --> 01:01:31,512
Is it relevant?
834
01:01:31,587 --> 01:01:33,107
Well, isn't that why
you're telling me?
835
01:01:34,023 --> 01:01:35,081
Okay.
836
01:01:36,258 --> 01:01:37,850
Nachtner says, "Look."
837
01:01:37,927 --> 01:01:39,690
"The teeth, we don't know..."
838
01:01:39,762 --> 01:01:42,026
"A sign from Hashem?
Don't know."
839
01:01:42,431 --> 01:01:43,431
"Helping others?"
840
01:01:44,767 --> 01:01:45,927
"Couldn't hurt."
841
01:01:49,772 --> 01:01:52,434
No, no,
but who put it there?
842
01:01:52,541 --> 01:01:56,671
Was it for him, Sussman? Or for whoever
found it? Or for just... For, for...
843
01:01:56,745 --> 01:01:58,007
We can't know everything.
844
01:01:58,080 --> 01:01:59,843
It sounds like you don't know anything!
845
01:01:59,915 --> 01:02:01,280
Why even tell me the story?
846
01:02:01,617 --> 01:02:04,108
(CHUCKLING) First I should
tell you, then I shouldn't.
847
01:02:07,056 --> 01:02:08,353
What happened to Sussman?
848
01:02:08,757 --> 01:02:10,748
What would happen?
Not much.
849
01:02:10,859 --> 01:02:11,951
He went back to work.
850
01:02:12,528 --> 01:02:15,292
For a while, he checked every
patent s teeth for new messages.
851
01:02:15,397 --> 01:02:16,557
He didn t find any.
852
01:02:16,632 --> 01:02:18,623
In time, he found
he stopped checking.
853
01:02:20,402 --> 01:02:21,892
He returned to life.
854
01:02:26,942 --> 01:02:29,308
These questions that are
bothering you, Larry,
855
01:02:30,479 --> 01:02:31,969
...maybe they're
like a toothache.
856
01:02:33,282 --> 01:02:35,773
Feel them for a while,
then they go away.
857
01:02:36,285 --> 01:02:38,879
I don't want it to just
go away! I want an answer!
858
01:02:38,954 --> 01:02:40,819
Sure We all
want the answer.
859
01:02:41,824 --> 01:02:43,655
Hashem doesn't owe us
the answer, Larry.
860
01:02:44,159 --> 01:02:45,922
Hashem doesn't
owe us anything.
861
01:02:45,995 --> 01:02:47,986
The obligation
runs the other way.
862
01:02:48,564 --> 01:02:50,930
Why does he make us
feel the questions...
863
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,400
...if he's not going to
give us any answers?
864
01:02:55,671 --> 01:02:56,933
He hasn't told me.
865
01:03:02,311 --> 01:03:05,337
And what happened
to the goy?
866
01:03:05,781 --> 01:03:06,781
The goy?
867
01:03:08,684 --> 01:03:09,684
Who cares?
868
01:03:10,119 --> 01:03:12,587
NACHTNER: Sy Ableman
was a serious man.
869
01:03:15,024 --> 01:03:18,687
Sy Ableman was a man
