Yentl Page #3

- (Mourners muttering)

(Woman) May God forgive her.

(Reading continues)

(Mourners pray)

My house is hers as long as she wants.

She'll help in the store,

look after the children, cook...

- Yentl, eat.

- (Woman muttering)

It's enough.

We mourn for seven days only.

Then Life goes on.

Ah!

Sorry.

Razel, Sarah, I think maybe

we come back later.

(Woman chatting quietly)

(Woman) Get your things, Yentl.

I'll come back for you Later.

I'll keep you so busy,

you won't have time to think.

Forgive me, Papa.

Wait!

- Wait. Stop!

- Whoa!

- (Neighing)

- What do you want, boy?

Could you give me a ride to the next town?

- You got money?

- Er, a Little.

- Get in back.

- Thank you.

- Yah!

- Where do you think you're going?

- (Laughter)

- Get off of here.

- Go find another wagon.

- Wait! Please wait!

(Laughter continues)

(Animal shrieks)

God

Our heavenly father

O God

And my father, who's also in heaven

May the Light

Of this flickering candle

Illuminate the night

the way your spirit

Illuminates my soul

Papa...

Can you hear me?

Papa, can you see me?

Papa, can you find me in the night?

Papa, are you near me?

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you help me

not be frightened?

Looking at the skies

I seem to see a million eyes

Which ones are yours?

Where are you now that yesterday

has waved goodbye

And closed its doors?

The night is so much darker

The wind is so much colder

The world I see is so much bigger

Now that I'm alone

Papa, please forgive me

Try to understand me

Papa, don't you know I had no choice?

Can you hear me praying

Anything I'm saying

Even though the night

is filled with voices?

I remember everything you taught me

Every book I've ever read

Can all the words in all the books

Help me to face what lies ahead?

The trees are so much taller

And I feel so much smaller

The moon is twice as lonely

And the stars are half as bright

Papa, how I Love you

Papa, how I need you

Papa, how I miss you

Kissing me good night

If I am not for myself, who will be for me?

(Lowers pitch) Who will be for me?

(Coughs)

Who will be for me?

If I am for myself alone, who am I?

(Lower) Who am I?

And if not now...

- (Horse neighing in distance)

- ... when?

(Yentl) Wait!

(Child shouting)

- (Lively chatter)

- (Man) Innkeeper, more soup!

(Chatter continues, men singing)

(Man) Did you hear that?

(2nd man) Yes. I hear, I hear.

(Singing continues)

(Man) Who's throwing that?

Don't throw that. I told you not to.

- Watch out!

- (Man) Lithuania, Poland, same thing.

A school is a school. It's only the rabbis

that are different. The girls...

- Why would the Talmud repeat itself?

- It's an improper translation.
