I don't live here.

I live in talbieh.

How do you

know Hebrew?

I've been studying piano

in rehavia for three years now.

It's a beautiful language,

and rehavia is beautiful too,

so well-kept and quiet.

Talbieh is also

well-kept and quiet.

Would you mind if

we talked for a bit?

Aren't we talking

already?

There's enough room in

this country for both peoples.

We just need to learn

to live together in peace

and mutual respect.

I have a big brother

in London.

He's studying

to be a lawyer.

What do you want to study

when you grow up?

What about you?

You'll be a lawyer too,

based on how you speak.

What makes you think that?

I'm going to write a book.

Really?

What kind of book?

Poems.

Poems?

Yes. In French

and English.

I also write in arabic, but

i never show it to anyone.

Is there

nice Hebrew poetry?

Of course!

Levin kipnis, Rachel.

Vladimir jabotinsky,

tcheminchowsky...

"A generation of gods

walks the land...

"A generation

drunk on life!

"Estranged from

a sick people.

And the tribe of sufferers."

Can you also climb trees?

Rest a minute,

just a minute.

Rest a minute,

just a minute.

This is the father of Amos.

May I please speak

with Mr. al-halwani?

Well, could you please

tell him how very truly sorry

we are about what happened?

We are anxious for

the health of the dear child.

We'll pay any of the child's

medical expenses,

of course, in full.

And we sincerely wish to effect

a meeting at an early date

to clarify and try

to right the wrong.

Once there were two monks...

Who imposed all sorts of

restrictions on themselves.

Among other things,

they resolve to cross

all of India on foot.

They also took a vow

of complete silence.

Even in their sleep,

they would not speak

a single word throughout

their years of travel.

But once...

While they were walking

along the bank of a river,

they heard a drowning woman

crying for help.

Without a word, the younger

monk jumped into the water.

He bore the woman

on his back

and laid her on the ground.

The two monks continued

their journey in silence.

Six months later,

the younger monk

suddenly asked,

"tell me...

Do you think

i sinned when I carried

that woman on my back?"

His friend answered

with a question:

"What? Are you still

carrying her on your back?"

Amos, when I was a student,

i loved to read here

among the flowers.

And one day, after class,

she met your future father here.

Do you remember what I told you

about the word "flower"?

Flower is a combination of

the words "bull" and "scent."

"Bull" has the same root

as "fertility,"

and "scent" lures the insects

that fertilize the plant.

He took advantage of
