Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaYehoram Gaon originally turned down the role of Moshe Weinstok, saying it's too small for someone who hadn't acted for quite a while. He changed his mind after director Joseph Cedar sent him a long list of Hollywood stars who made short appearances in various movies.
- GoofsWhen Rachel comes home after her meeting with the founding committee, when Tammy has locked herself in her room and Rachel is talking to Esti in the Living Room, the shots of Rachel show her with her hands cupped over the top of a soda pop bottle, but the shots of Esti (from behind Rachel) show Rachel's hands cupped on her knapsack on the table.
- Quotes
[subtitled version]
[first thing in the morning, Rachel walks into Esti's bedroom unannounced while Esti is still asleep]
Rachel Gerlik: Esti, be careful not to walk barefoot here now.
[Rachel drapes a towel over Esti's bedroom door]
Esti Gerlik: [groggily waking up] What?
[using a hammer, Rachel smashes the glass window on Esti's bedroom door]
Esti Gerlik: [now wide awake] What are you doing?
Rachel Gerlik: No one locks doors in my house. You want privacy? Get married.
[Tami, hearing the commotion, walks by]
Rachel Gerlik: [as Rachel sweeps up the broken glass] Tami, be careful not to walk barefoot here.
Esti Gerlik: [yelling] Are you out of your mind? Are you a total psycho? What's wrong with you? You should be committed. I swear I'll call the police.
Rachel Gerlik: [calmly] Tami, bring me the garbage can.
Esti Gerlik: [yelling] Does this seem normal to you?
Esti Gerlik: [to Tami, as she goes for the garbage can] Why are you helping this madwoman?
Esti Gerlik: Think I care? I'll show you privacy.
[Esti storms out of the bedroom to the living room and out onto the balcony]
Esti Gerlik: [yelling at the top of her lungs outside] Help! There's a crazy woman here. Someone call the police! Help!
