Jaffa (Kalat Hayam)

Reuven's Garage.

Hi, Shmulik, what's up?

It's almost done. Toufik!

Shmulik asks if the car will be ready by 4:00 p. M.

Sure, no problem.

- It's okay for 4:00 p. M. - Dad, come have a look!

We'll fix the brakes and take it to Vehicle Inspection.

Okay. Come over.

- Toufik! - What?

- You want to drive me crazy? - What's wrong?

How come you didn't tell me there's an oil leak?

- I told you. - Oh yeah, when?

- Like hell you did! - Meir, drop it. Who cares?

It's not my problem that you don't listen.

I'm fed up. I always get the screwed-up cars.

Hassan will help you. Meir, just finish it.

- Pull... - He heard perfectly well.

Meir!

- I'm going to lunch. - Come on...

I'm starving.

Hurry, the Mitsubishi's waiting.

Why do customers keep calling me?

Can't I leave you guys alone for five minutes?

What's going on, Mali? Why isn't anyone working on Yossi's car?

- It's... - Where is Meir?

A part was missing. He went to...

Now? He couldn't order it this morning?

Yossi's a worrywart. It'll be ready on time.

Call your brother.

- When will you be done? - In 15 minutes.

Okay.

- Hassan, are you done? - I tightened the pipe.

Is it ready?

- If Meir's not back, take it for inspection. - No problem.

- Well? - I left him a message.

He didn't pick up?

- He didn't answer? - I guess he didn't hear.

- Where's the stamp? - Upstairs.

Yossi was already in a bad mood yesterday, and I warned him.

I'd told Meir it was urgent.

- Where's the lemon? - And?

And what?

Go on. Finish your story.

Get to the point.

It's a good thing we have Toufik. He finished in no time.

Meir jerks off for two days. Toufik is done in 30 minutes.

That's your point?

I had to give him a discount.

The job was done. Why'd you give him a discount?

Because!

I lost 300 shekels today because of him.

You know exactly what needs to be done.

That was after spending the whole day at the accountant's.

And?

I didn't understand a word of what he told me.

I kept getting calls.

Unhappy customers... and Meir wasn't even there.

How can I do business like this?

Turn off your phone. Is that so hard?

What if you called?

Which shampoo did you use?

The green one you bought me.

Your dad is so handsome!

Aren't you eating?

Where's the spoon?

I give you responsibilities and you don't give a damn.

Why not? You think that's how you run a garage?

Where were you? If you want to run the place...

...you stay there all day!

That's how you run a business. Where were you?

Who cares?

- I can't run a business like this. - Why are you shouting at me?

- You made me lose 300 shekels. - It's my fault?

300 shekels is nothing?

Reuven, we said we'd deduct it from his salary.

Some salary!

- Stay here! - I'm not hungry.

I've had it with him, Reuven.

- I'm sick of him. - Ossi.

The garage is our means of living.

It's all we have.

Who'll take over?

"Hassan and Sons"?

Very funny!

Reuven!

You're not concentrating.

- Harder. - Here? Right here?

Press harder.

Do it right. You're just stroking them.

- What? - Press harder.

Meir... Meir?

Mali, would you?

Would you, darling?

Your father's hopeless.

- Are you going out? - Yes.

Turn that down, Meir.

Meir!

Press harder.

Now he's hungry.

Don't eat all of it!

Well, sit down.

I'm off.

- Hold me. - Bye.

Bye.

Are you sure?

What? Sure of what?

Maybe we're making a mistake.

You call this a mistake?

Come on!

This, a mistake?

It's the most beautiful thing in the world.

God is great...

At last!

Where were you?

Don't you have work to do?

The Subaru's ready. I'm going out for an hour.

What do you mean "going out"?

- I have to go out. - Nissim's car isn't finished.

He's coming at 4:00 p. M. There's time.

You don't do your errands on our time.

I'll hurry. No big deal.

Since when do you leave in the middle of the day?

Knock it off, Meir. I have something to do.

I don't care. You have a job to finish.

Do it on your own time.

Meir, he has an errand to run...

- Shut up! - Hey, don't talk like that.

Speak nicely, okay?

She's my sister. I'll talk to her however I want.

Get under the car.

I'll be back in an hour.

Toufik! I'm serious. You're not leaving.

- Leave him alone! - Shut up!

Watch it, you bastard!

You know what? If you leave, don't come back!

Son of a bitch!

You stay out of it! Are you in charge here?

Fucking son of a bitch!

He's gone!

This is a certified translation of your civil status.

You'll need the original to get married abroad.

Here you have the address of City Hall.

It's on the third floor. A clerk will help you.

You can get your marriage certificate stamped there.

Our driver will take care of it the same day.

You can get it in Israel too, but it takes about a month.

It's all written here.

- It's in Hebrew, is that okay? - Yes.

I'm not sure you know

...about our special deal for guests.

220 dollars for four people, two rooms. Nice...

It's just us.

One more thing. Toufik?

I don't know if anyone told you about the El Al service.

You can check in your bags the night before the flight.

That way you won't lose time on departure day.

with security controls.

Thanks. It's okay.

Well, congratulations!

Hello, Reuven's Garage.

Yes, we do.

It depends.

Exactly.

It depends on the damage...

Hey, what's going on?

What?

You think this is a whorehouse?

Get back to work.

I told you not to come back.

What are you doing? You don't work here anymore.

Don't touch the car, you don't work...

What's going on?

He splits when he feels like it.

So what?

He decided to go for a stroll around Jaffa.

He goes out during work hours.

...and shouts like he's the boss's son!

I told him not to come back.

- You said what? - I fired him.

Fired him? Are you crazy?

Have you lost your mind? Since when do you fire people?

Who'll work? You, by yourself, for the whole garage?

Yeah. Who does the work? That Arab?

Don't talk like that. Okay, back to work.

- You too. - He doesn't work here.

What do you mean, "he doesn't work here"?

Get out! Get out of my sight!

This isn't kindergarten!

Hassan, pick that up.

Tomorrow I won't be in until 2:00 p. M.

You let him do what he wants.

But you keep tabs on me.

The Arab carries on like Allah's CEO, and you let him.

He had some errands. It happens once in a blue moon.

You never have errands to run?

Today you got there at 10:00 a. M. And left at 2:00 p. M.

I left? You threw me out! Try paying me like Toufik!

Work like him and I'll pay you double.

He was gone for four hours.

Left me with two cars on my hands.
