Hello Goodbye Page #3

---

I used to compete,

won a few trophies...

- Really?

- Sure.

- Yes, in '82, remember?

- Stop it or I won't let you leave!

I'm coming.

Sorry, duty calls.

Delighted to meet you.

- Alain, see you very soon, I hope.

- Thank you.

Why are we here?

You know I hate cemeteries.

"Jacob Gaash".

I phoned around. This is

the only cemetery with a Gaash.

Dad mentioned a Lithuanian uncle

who went to Israel.

He's calling me.

Go on, then.

Me?

Yes?

Pardon?

- Yes.

- Pray.

- Pray...

- Kaddish, for the dead.

Need...

10 men.

Am n

Oh, yes, very good.

I understand.

- Thank you, sir.

- Don't mention it.

Thank you, sir.

Hi, I have family in France.

- Where are you from?

- Paris.

I love Paris.

Celine Dion, Adidas, paella...

My brother's there. Know him?

Shlomo Shapiro? Handsome.

Shlomo Shapiro, handsome?

No...

- Know Shlomo Shapiro?

- No.

All around, we'll plant 50-foot-high

palm trees we bring in from Egypt.

No expense spared.

It'll be really incredible.

On the top floor,

the apartments have a huge terrace

overlooking the gardens

and the patio.

It's the Tel Aviv of tomorrow...

today!

Know what?

I've kept one for my mom.

Gisele, what're we doing here?

- Take that hard hat off!

- No.

It's 4 hours from Paris.

Perfect for a second home.

Vacations, weekends -

you'll soon recoup the cost.

When you sell,

I'll find you a buyer in a day.

- When will it be ready?

- 3 months.

Maybe 2, God willing.

Okay, I'll do you a favor.

My brother's number in Paris.

Call him when you get back.

Give him 25% of the sum

to block the sale,

5% when you get the keys,

and the rest over 5 years

interest free.

I need a prompt decision.

We'll think it over.

Think what over?

Don't take too long.

They're selling like fruit cakes.

Did you call Shapiro's brother?

Who?

The real estate agent.

What?

- What?

- Yes, what?

What?

You said you'd call him last week.

What is this?

We have a good life here,

we want for nothing,

but we're not rolling in it.

Do you want to go?

Look, let's think it over... calmly.

Why rush into it?

I spent 20 years

raising our son, helping you...

- There's worse.

- Sure, but...

with Nicolas gone,

I have no reason to stay.

But why Israel?

Why?

We know nothing about the place.

I felt good there.

I wasn't a mother...

or a wife. I was me.

Just Gisle.

I was happy.

I can't explain it.

I want to go back to understand.

Understand what?

Who I am.

Look, we were on vacation.

It was sunny...

if you like, we can buy

a house down south,

but not too far south...

It's not so simple.

So, do we buy an aquarium,

adopt a dolphin and everyone's happy?

I may not be a good wife, but...
