I'm very sorry.

Did you see Volodia, Pyotr?

- Yes.

Will you help him?

Pyotr.

Look, it lights up.

You see? - Yes.

That is electricity.

You see, Ilyusha?

Look.

You see, this wire...

Did you see? - Yes.

Electricity.

Mr. Rutenberg?

Mr. Rutenberg?

Are you done? Leonard,

we won't get anywhere this way.

We have plenty more time.

Besides, I don't understand

what you see in cinema. So vulgar.

Snob. - What? What did you say?

- Nothing, nothing at all.

You are not good

at anything?

I am simply allowing you

to realize yourself.

To realize, not fondle.

Becky, you really

must learn to draw.

This is how you see me?

- Who said it was you?

What is this, what is this,

this stupid hat?

It is not a hat.

It is a shoe. Rutenberg's.

Hey, not Weizman.

Leave Weizman alone.

Give me Weizman.

Give me...

What would you do without me?

- Fall down.

Go, Leonard.

Daddy's waiting for you.

Mordehai Savirski.

Okay, after incoming mail,

During the signing...

Who is that?

What is she doing here?

Who wants to know?

- Becky...

This is Becky Feinstein,

we are going to be married.

Married?

- Lf you allow him to.

Why didn't you tell me,

Leonard? Married.

Becky has volunteered to help us,

Mr. Rutenberg.

I appreciate

what you are doing for us.

You can save your gratitude,

Mr. Rutenberg.

All I want

is to leave here with Leonard,

as quickly as possible.

- We have tickets to the cinema.

All right. Let's see.

- This is the English version.

We thought you would prefer

to be here when

we begin

the Hebrew version.

There is no problem

with the diagrams,

we reviewed all of the data,

everything is okay, but... - But?

The technical details, they...

don't translate well into Hebrew.

There are not enough technical terms

in Hebrew. - Then create them.

Nice, Savirski, nice.

Leonard.

Churchill agreed to see you.

On Thursday.

Great.

I'm sorry,

I got the obituaries.

I would give

my last chip

to see the faces

of the Foreign Ministry clerks

as they see him leaving Churchill.

- You are so kind.

Don't worry, he's buried

in his papers, he won't see it.

You know him,

with all his funny ways.

What does it matter?

In two weeks it will be behind us.

I'm opening my own office

and you can stop

working for other people.

- He asked me to join him.

Think about it,

machinery for sale... - Leonard.

He offered

that I join him in Palestine.

Don't tell me you said yes.

- He is pressuring me.

I know those tricks. "There are

those who create history...

and those who are trampled

by history."

"Where do you want to be?"

Come here.

- Now, Lena, now?

Not when... - When you'll build

me a house in Palestine?

And you'll come home to eat
