Batya, what's wrong? I'm sorry.

Pick a card!

Come on, I'll never call you

a moron again, okay?

I won't call you a dingbat, either.

Stop that noise! I can't

concentrate on my magic!

Dingbat!

When did you start

wearing shorts?

It's a gift for

my nephew's Bar Mitzvah.

What Bar Mitzvah?

-You promised to come!

He has more clothes than a model!

I'm worried about him!

Look! Flowered panties!

You'd better talk to your sister.

Shut up, a**hole!

Leave my family out!

I'm just worried...

-Yeah, sure!

Since we left Afula,

you never visited once.

If you don't come,

I'll fry your rabbits.

Leave my rabbits out of this.

-Leave my family out of this.

We're even.

It can't be! I learned this

trick from Yehuda!

Which Yehuda? -The Gouda.

-Silly me.

He's world famous!

He does weddings, Bar Mitzvahs...

The best magician in Israel!

That's what you said

about Chico.

He was the best then.

-That was days

It's a very competitive field!

So that wasn't your card?

-yes.

Yes it was or yes it wasn't?

-Yes, it was not.

What a slut! -A slut that works

hard to support her lazy pimp.

Your nose drives me crazy.

-You're nuts.

I can't take it. -Stop!

-Let me take it off.

Moron.

I:

love

you.

Baby

And if it's quite all right

I need you baby

I...love...you

Baby

And if it's quite all right

I need you baby

What?

All that noise is blowing

my concentration.

What do you want me to do?

Let's go back to Afula.

-Don't start.

What am I doing

in this lousy city?

You dream of being a magician,

but what about me?

You want me back in the garage

fixing blinkers?

We spoke about this.

Try to understand.

Just a little more patience.

I'll practice and

buy equipment.

Then I'll get one show

after another!

The cash will roll in! No more

late shifts at the market!

I'll make you a queen!

Then we'll go back

to Afula! Get it?!

I promise I'll look

for a job tomorrow. -Sure.

Shut up over there! It's quieter

on a construction site!

I can't take that new chick

and her singing!

Good! Now jump backwards!

And stop!

You just don't get it.

-What, peanut?

The power of illusion.

What's wrong with reality?

-Too real. -Enough, Davy.

Pick a card.

-Enough with the cards!

You're a freeloader

and I put up with it!

You were right.

I was joking! What do you want?

What do I want?

Look at us, Davy.

We're not kids anymore.

You want to get married?

I don't know how to tell you

this, but there's no other way.

You're not a magician. -What?

I can't believe you said that!

You know I'm sensitive

about that!

That was really bitchy!

You were a great mechanic.

You're funny. I love you.

But you're a lousy magician!

And who are you,
