Holy Rollers
[ indistinct shouting
in distance ]
Excuse me.
Are you jewish?
Maybe you want to come inside
and pray, do a mitzvah?
Huh? Sammy. Sammy,
come help the man. Sam.
Happy hanukkah.
You're always welcome.
You're late!
Mendel:
I know. I know.Happy hanukkah to you.
Hmm.
Oh, it's the goylem.
Why didn't you tell me
the horrible goylem was going?
Don't scare me, goylem.
Nothing works
in this house.
I know.
I heard you.
Here you go, kvetcher.
Stop kvetching.
Stop kvetching.
Oy!
Move up.
You're one heavy monster,
you goylem.
How's my latkes?
Oh, not so good, unless
you like your food cold.
I need you in the den.
Sure, sure.
Hold on. Hold on.
Mendeleh,
it's important.
More important
than hanukkah?
All right, all right.
Look what your mameleh
is doing to me.
Tateh, I'll tell you when
Ahh.
[ chuckles ]
That's my bubeleh.
Don't forget, you've got a
lesson with the rebbe tomorrow.
Don't be strict with that.
Two more pages!
Tateh, I know.
Do you want a taste?
I want to meet her.
Please? Just an introduction.
You know you're not allowed
to talk to her yet.
I want to know
what she's like.
I have to turn on the lights.
Do your chores.
Amen. Amen.
Amen. Amen.
Ruth, watch your brother.
I will, mama.
Thank you.
Yes. Shmuel.
Don't be intimidated
by her.
The lazars are a family.
Maybe they have a few more
dollars than we have.
Maybe they have
They're just a family,
like us, all right?
I see the two children
were playing?
Maybe too much sugar?
Take yankel.
He has to wash his hands.
Zei gezunt.
Go take a walk.
Hi. Happy hanukkah.
I got you a present.
Elka:
Oh, I'm not so sure![ laughs ]
Lehayim.
Lehayim.
You're gonna be
a good rabbi, shmuel.
Elka:
One more time.Let's try it. Let's see.
Maybe I should continue
to work with you.
Nah.
I could make more gelt
with you.
That's a good idea.
Why? Why is it
such a good idea?
Why? What have I taught you,
shmuel?
He -- the man
who immerses himself
In a desire
Remember that, always --
in debt.
I don't understand
why it's such a bad thing
To make a little gelt.
Yeah, I don't want to
marry a poor man.
Ah, bubeleh,
you'll be lucky
If any man marries you
with that pisk.
Mendel!
Well, she -- she --
She has a lot of chutzpah
to talk -- okay.
Pass the latkes.
Okay.
of fabric that I own
Comes from this store.
I know that. That's why I'm not
profiting on this deal.
Look, ma'am, your daughter
will have a beautiful dress
Made from the finest silk
in thailand, all right?
You know, I don't even
want to deal with you.
Where's mendel?
Mendel -- mendel's not here
right now. I'm sorry.
He's not here? Mendel!
Go to another store
on this block.
They deal in cheap,
shoddy material.
Mendel!
Look who's here!
Okay, thank you.
Mazel tov.
Mazel tov, mendel.
The big girl is turning -- what?
Seorita's 15, 16?
Thank you
for remembering.
Now, can you
help me out here?
qu pas? qu pas?
Nothing pas.
Look, ma'am, all right,
I'll do 75% silk,
I'm sorry. That's it.
Just --
just go get it.
Go get it.
Yeah. Go get it.
I hope you'll treat your wife
better than this box.
You let her off too easy,
tateh.
She has money.
She's loyal.
Eh, it's -- it's worth
a couple of nickels.
What have I taught you?
you'll get a lot of customers.
You think gloria's at home
singing about how great you are?
You need to draw a line
somewhere.
Your customers are gonna
walk all over you.
Shmuel gold.
What?
This is my store,
and I run it my way.
When you become a rabbi,
in your business, all right?
Did you get
your allowance?
Yeah,
mama gave it to me.
Here.
Take it, take it,
take it, take it.
between me and you.
Shaynem dank, tateh.
Woman:
That means you can goand get your lovers.
Go ahead. Get your lovers.
I'll wait.
If you all
are just tuning in...
Get out of here. Hey.
Get out of here!
Mama, ruth left the bathroom
window open again.
It's freezing.
Stop utzing me.
You were supposed to
take the garbage out.
It's shabbos.
And it smells!
Don't let anyone see you,
especially your father!
[ toy squeaks ]
Huh? Where you going?
Thank god your father's
not here to see this.
[ indistinct shouting ]
Don't worry so much, ma!
Wait.
Gut shabbos.
And merry hanukkah
to you, too!
There's my samelah.
Did you see the tits
on that girl on tv?
Maybe.
Maybe?
You know they're fake,
right?
What do you mean?
Well, sometimes --
What are you doing?
You're smoking on shabbos now?
Yeah, put that out.
It's shabbos.
Dank. You think
he listens to me? Please.
Get it from both sides.
No doubt I listen
to my man sammy.
The soon-to-be-married
sammy gold.
Mazel tov. We're gonna be late
for shul. Let's go.
Mazel. Mazel, sammy.
What's her name,
huh, sammy?
Vanna?
Huh? Vanna white?
No.
You ever see that show?
I made sure he didn't,
thank you very much.
The best show ever!
You got to watch it!
It's the greatest!
Ay, shaineh maidel.
Don't stare. Don't stare.
You're the one staring.
I'm not staring.
Hey, sammy,
let me ask you --
Do you even know what to do
with a beautiful girl?
The rebbe will tell me.
Gut shabbos. Goodbye.
The rebbe will tell you?
Yes.
What's the rebbe
gonna tell you?
The rebbe's not gonna tell you
how to please your wife.
Would you stop it?
Don't listen to him.
He's fine.
He's jealous.
What am I jealous of,
leon, huh?
Jealous of marrying a girl
I don't even know?
My tateh says it's time
for us to get married.
We will be happy.
Baruch hashem.
Goodbye. Thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
baruch hashem. Very confident.
Mr. Lazar!
Hey, mr. Lazar!
[ indistinct shouting ]
Get off of me!
Get off of me!
Come on, get off of me,
you f***ing fag.
Get off. Get out of here.
Run to shul, little girls.
Go home!
They heard hashem's voice
moving in the garden
With the wind of day.
The man and his wife
hid themselves from hashem
Among the trees
of the garden.
Hashem called to the man,
And he said,
"where are you?"
Did hashem know
where adam was hiding?
Shmuel?
Shmuel?
God being god
knew where adam was hiding,
But the question
is for adam to answer.
All men must answer this.
They must know
where they stand
In relation
to hashem's presence.
Either you move closer...
Or further away.
Your friend is very wise
with the talmud.
He could be
a good rabbi.
But we're not here
to talk about leon.
We're here to talk
