Just a sec...
350 pounds?
I swear to you, Geula, I'm really trying.
Really trying?...
I can hear you gaining weight! Move, get down.
350? --Yeah
At least it's a nice round number. You need to cut out the baguettes.
Cut out carbs completely.
Aaron, I can give advice too. --Very nice, 308.
Congratulations! You lost five pounds.
Way to go.
Goldie, sweetie, c’mere.
Five and a half pounds.
235
Nice job, sweetie. --Thanks.
Aaron, come here.
Three hundred...
twelve...
and a half. You lost two pounds. --That can’t be right.
The scale doesn't lie. But it's all good.
A month of lettuce, and two pounds? --Still, the program works.
Come on, let's not forget: "We only use our mouths..."
"for talking." --C’mon, we're done for the day.
Roll on out of here.
Hertzel, come to my office.
Sit.
I don't know what happened. --Hertzel, don't play dumb
We've been through this already. More than once. You're just stubborn.
Mind if I smoke? --Yes.
Please...
You've been gaining since April.
How about here?
I lost a little here, didn't I?
That was after your Yom Kippur fast.
Oh. --Look, Hertzel, I don't think we can help you any more.
You're bringing the whole group down.
You're wasting your money, and my time.
What's really going on? A contest with the other branches?
Am I screwing up your statistics?
Are you implying something?
Geula, one more chance.
Hertzel, you've gained 30 pounds in the last two months.
So I've gained 30 pounds in the last two months.
Believe me, compared to other diets, this is real progress.
Hertzel, darling, you can lie to me...
but don't lie to yourself.
Ah...
OK if I catch a ride?
Sure.
I told you it was OK. Why’d you ask?
Son of a bitch. How long do we have to sit?
Why can't I close this door? --'cause you're fat, that's why.
I've never heard of anybody getting kicked out of Weight Watchers.
Think she kicked me out?
I shut her up, told her I would sue. --Yeah, sure.
Bye --Bye Bye --See ya.
I've lived in Ramla my whole life. How come we never met before?
We met, you just don't remember.
You used to work in the mall, right? --Right.
Where did you disappear to?
I got married, divorced...
married again, divorced.
Each time I put on another twenty pounds.
Oy...
Really put it away, eh?
Why did you get divorced?
I hate liars.
Son of a bitch, c'mon, you're killin' me here, I gotta get home.
Right...
so goodbye. --bye.
Please.
Hertzl...
Listen, this is Eli.
Hello. --I want you to start showing him the ropes today.
How come?
He's replacing you in the bar. You're going back to the kitchen.
What do you mean?
Just finish up and we'll talk later, alright?
Nice meeting you.
Biton...
Really, Hertzel, I'm jammed up.
I want you to explain to me why I can't work in the bar.
Because I want you in the kitchen, and him in the bar.
That's no answer. Explain why.
Customers are making comments.
What comments?
You don't fit the image, OK?
C'mon, don't take it personally
Eh, excuse me. --What? --How can you leave the bar unattended?
C'mon Hertzel.
It's not like you're a chef in some gourmet restaurant.
You're just a cook in a salad bar.
So take it easy, don't be so serious.
For the life of me, I can't understand why you quit.
Isn't it a waste?
I'm dieting, don't you want me to lose? --Sure I do.
But even on a diet you have to eat, and lettuce just isn't enough.
You want to die of hunger? --I can't touch this stuff.
How many times do I have to tell you? I can't.
I can't!
Here's a Japanese restaurant. The food there's disgusting.
You won't be tempted. Go there tomorrow.
They're looking for kitchen staff.
So compromise a little.
You sat home a whole year before you became a cook.
A chef, not a cook---a chef.
How many times do I have to tell you? Chef.
Chef, cook, both of you are out of work.
I need help to hold on to the house.
C'mon, go. Maybe it'll change your luck.
Excuse me...
Who's the boss?
Kitano, in kitchen.
I'm Kitano. --Ah, sorry. I wanted to talk to you.
I heard you're looking for a chef...
I studied four years at "Tadmor". My specialties are Japanese cuisine, desserts.
I also have experience.
Where did you work?
At Bon-ton Biton.
What happened?
They treated me like dirt. So I up and left.
Now they're begging me to come back.
If they're begging, why not go back?
Because nobody treats me like that, understand?
Now they'll understand who Hertzl is. Watch them try to get along without me.
I won't go back there. I'd rather scrub pots.
Hi, Geula, this is Hertzl.
This is the second message I'm leaving you.
Look, this whole thing hasn't been easy for me, but..
I feel I deserve another chance with the group. So get back to me please, bye.
No look at this attack by Benny Yehouda, crossing...
Put a little tehina on it.
A loose ball...
Tehina's fattening. --So?
Hi.
Hello.
Oowee, look at those lard asses.
What's this? Two fatsos in diapers with girly hairdos?.
Where's this?
I'm working a little.
What, you found a job and didn't tell us?
What's that, fish? --The smell of work.
With a smell like that, I'd rather die of hunger.
Where you working? --Japanese
What, rolling sushi?
Scrubbing pots.
A job is a job.
We love you, Hertzel.
C'mere, Albert, take this.
Believe me. Guys like this, I'd eat 'em alive.
Damn, I don't understand why there's no Sumo in Israel.
What do you want? There's no fatsos here.
Hi, Hertzel, I'm returning your call.
Despite the fact that I've already said it all.
Look, believe me, Hertzel
I can't help you if you won't help yourself.
Sweetie, it hurts me to see you turning into a...man-mountain. Babe.
Really. You're killing yourself.
It's better just to slash your wrists and get it over with.
Well, look, you big lug. Good luck, sweetie.
Goodbye. Bye.
Sorry, I'll fix it.
Hey, he looks just like a Sumo wrestler.
I'm not taking my shirt off, why should I?
If you're not taking it off, you're not showing the gyoji respect
What's a gyoji ? --A referee
In Japan, Kitano is a great gyogi.
Really? So what's he doing in Ramla?
Then I'm going to wear my shirt.
Kitano's coming? --Better he should come.
Leave it alone, Ito, it's not important. I'm going, alright?
Kastina to wing 4, opening in 30 minutes.
What's this? --He's from the local channel. PR approved it.
Thanks.
Gila, you have no problem with the concept of "my husband?"
Me, I have nothing to say when you stick a camera in my face.
I don't have a problem with the concept of "my husband?
My only problem is that they won't let me see my husband.
Gila, even so?
Just a second...
I'm really not comfortable with cameras like this, Goldie, come on.
C'mon, you have cameras here 24/7, and I'm bothering you?
Sumo...
You calling me Sumo? You're not ashamed, calling me Sumo?
I didn't say Sumo, I said "Sunnova..."--OK
Sammy, I apologize.
Too bad, I could have made you look good.
Get out of here, go peddle your bullshit somewhere else.
Write an article on feminism, why don't you. What's with the feminism?
Gila, feminism's not a curse. It's taking responsibility. .
You know, we should thank those women...
who promoted women's liberation for us.
I could use some liberation about now.
Round Sun: I'm 5'9" and a bit heavy
Ron: A bit? Round Sun: 220
Ron: That won't work
There's no hot water again.
The important thing is that you call yourself a plumber.
No time right now, I'm in a hurry.
Where are the new pants you bought me? --In the closet.
So?...
Whoa...
Terrific.
What?
C'mere. --You don't need to, I'll do it.
C'mon, I'll help you. --I said I'd do it. Alright?
So come on. Hertzel's waiting downstairs.
Did you get them small on purpose?
Eh? --Are you nuts? That's your size.
So take them off and I'll exchange them. --I'm not taking them off.
You can't go out like that.
You said it's my size, so it's my size
Move it! --What? --Cmon, move.
Go, we're late already.
I've been clean for two weeks.
I'm continuing to differentiate between proteins and carbohydrate --Excellent
It's really working, I've already lost half a pound
Very nice, half a pound, way to go
More important than what we eat is why we eat, and how much
Because hunger is our servant, not our master, eh?
Sammy --Wait, Geula, what about me?
You know, before we speak, we have to do something.
Better you should ask yourself what you're doing here.
Because this isn't just a friendship club
In truth, I wouldn't be surprised if you had a problem with the program.
A problem?
Sure, how could you not be a problem?
I'm busting my butt to lose weight
No luck yet, but at least I'm trying
Trying, sure--you eat and don't lose.
It's not enough.
Listen, I can't help you if you won't help yourself
I'm beginning to think you're a lost cause
Geula, that kind of talk isn't on point.
Goldiekins, sweety
You need to recognize that gaining weight without noticing is dangerous
Guys, it's my fault if somebody here has a heart attack, God forbid.
What heart attack? I'm as healthy as an ox.
The only thing ruining my health is this diet of yours.
And you know what, maybe you're right.
Maybe I don't want to. Why me? What have I done?
Hertzel... That's man-mountain, to you.
Hertzel, I'm asking you to go. --Who needs your diet, anyway?
What's up with this?
Does everyone need to be skinny?
You decided that fat is a sickness and we all bought into it.
You're selling us self-hatred, and we're still paying.
Ok, Hertzel, that's enough. We get the idea.
There are places on Earth where it isn't that way?
In Japan, for example fat isn't bad --So go to Japan.
Look at the Sumo wrestlers.
How they look up to them...
Sima... --what strength.
They're not ashamed of their bodies, like us.
They're not dieting all the time. --Sima, take him away.
Sima.. --quickly.
You know the word "Sumo"
comes from "salmon," that's fat, and strong.
Come on --and swims upstream. --One, one...
--What's happening there, Sima? --Avi, where are you?
I'm going to start a Sumo class for fat people here in Ramla...
like you've never seen.
Who's coming with me?
Help him up, eh?
Goldiekins, sweetie, don't waste your time.
You're his friends, right?
Gideleh, Gideleh...
Geula, I'm sorry.
Sammy, what are you doing? --This is a reality show...
like you've never seen. --Sammy, turn that off.
You've got something to hide?
Sammy, turn it off I say.
Aaron's such a shmuck. --What do you want from him.
Really, Hertzel, I thought you were just bullshiting.
I left 'cause I like you. --Did you think I was bullshiting?
I meant every word.
I even have a gyogi. --A what?
Gyogi. A Sumo referee from Japan. My boss, Kitano.
You're serious? --Totally.
We get the group, he'll train us.
But they'll laugh at us.
Nobody will laugh, Gidi.
At last we'll get respect. --OK, OK.
Bring us this gyogi and then we'll see.
I've got a great name.
"Goldie and the three bears"
Does Sumo really come from "salmon"? --Seems like it, doesn't it?
Come up for some tea?
Sure...
This is Jakiri The starting position.
Wanna try? --Yeah
Okay. --Lower here.
Tell me, Goldie. How can I fight you? You're a woman.
That's not legal! Sumo isn't Judo.
Who did you say would teach us?
I don't want to teach Sumo, and I don't want to hear about Sumo.
Kitano, listen, I already formed a group.
Monday we're going to find a place to train.
How can we train without you?
I can't help you.
You're too skinny, even.
Thanks.
Get back to work. --Y'know, I've been here a week.
all I here all day...
is Sumo, Sumo, Sumo. On the TV...
Look, even on the walls... those are Sumo moves, right?
It's just a poster? --So I can have it?
You're against me, too. What will I tell them?
This is nice. I'm glad you brought me here.
See how much I love you?
You told me I wasn't considerate?
I went around at work today, and told everyone my wife is only 36.
.35 --35
Excuse me..
Why'd you bring me diet? --What?
I asked for regular Coke.
Sorry
No, why'd you bring me diet?
Why me in particular?
I asked for regular. --I'll switch it for you.
Sorry.
Did you order it for me?
You think?
Why the look? Tell me I'm fat, and that's it.
Aaron, what's wrong?
Nothing.
You know what? It's not nothing.
I'm going off my diet, and I'm going to wrestle Sumo.
You forgot how Dad died?
They say "bon appétit" Mom.
But sweetie, it's a pity. --What pity?
--Why?
I'm through dieting. --Hertzel, I won't be here forever.
You need to look out for yourself.
There's rice left, if you want.
You wrecked my sleep.
Mom...
Mom, come in already.
You know it bugs me when you hang laundry their, right?
Where should I hang it, on your head?
I've told you a thousand times I'd buy you a drier.
I'm still waiting
You know I just started work yesterday. Enough!
Go to sleep. --Sleep? When I'm always worried about you?
Why worry? I'm 35.
Hertzel, when I was your age I was already a widow. Aren't you ashamed?
You don't even have a girlfriend.
I have one.
No kidding...
Where are you bringing us? --Don't park here. It's private property.
Don't worry
My leg fell asleep.
Don't push.
Gimme a minute. --Grab this.
Goldie...
I wanted to ask you...
Son of a bitch, this is private property.
OK, you don't have to shout. --Screw yourself, stinking tub of lard.
Don't park here, I won't shout.
Well?...Move it.
You sure took your time.
Aaron, why screw around?
Isn't this gyogi of yours supposed to be here?
You said we'd talk, so where is he? --He requested we prepare things first.
So he's not coming today?
He'll come when we're ready.
Do me a favor, break out the fire hose, OK?
Screw yourself, I'm not doing anything until I see him here.
Why are you making such a fuss? It'll take ten minutes.
Why? Because I have a feeling you're putting one over on us, that's why.
What did I tell you? His whole life is written on his face.
You want to go? Go. --You bet I'm going.
Just as well. This way, we'll be able to work in peace.
Why, does it look to you like we're staying?
C'mon, enough, we're already here, wouldn't it be a waste?
When this Kitano comes, I'll come too. --Gidi
So?
Shall we get a little dirty?
Wow, Geula's meeting is starting.
You going?
Does it look like it?
Just looking at the babe on the poster by the door would bring me down.
I swear, just thinking about her makes me want to die.
What?
Looks like I carried away a bit with the butt.
Not enough.
It's illegal, isn't it?
How's the food in jail? --Fattening.
Tell me, Goldie…
You feel like coming over Friday?
What, for dinner?
Just us? --Yes, just us.
Eat, eat. There's no dieting on the Sabbath.
Fine, I'm not dieting.
--It's excellent.
That's the cinnamon. --Yeah, my Mom made it that way, too.
You sew? --Sometimes.
What sometimes? You've been a seamstress your whole life. –Not all of it.
Only since the clothes in the stores stopped fitting you.
I should live and be well.
The main thing is you find a good wife.
Come help me with the melon.
I'll help you.
Of course not, sit. You're our guest.
What?
She's fat.
I see she's decided to stay fat her whole life.
At least my grandchildren should be skinny.
Come, let's not leave her alone. It's not nice.
My Mom was nuts about you.
Maybe you'll tell me where we're going?
This is the third time we've passed this street.
And?
Wow.
You planned this?
It's going to Tokyo?
This isn't going to work.
Shall we continue at my place?
Wow…
All this for me?
You act like you've never seen a pretty fat girl before.
I hope you're not one of those guys who likes to do it with the lights off.
Of course not.
You're not coming?
No, I'm waiting for Kitano. I need him to train us.
--What do you mean?
The Mafia's into Sumo?
Where there's money, there's the Mafia.
Great.
Ito, c'mon.
Excuse me.
Kitano, I've been waiting because I want to talk to you.
I'm asking you to teach some lessons.
Whatever you can. Just the basics of Sumo.
I'll pay you, OK? You can dock my wages.
I'm telling you, Kitano
As long as I can remember, everyone's called me "Mt. Hertzl"
When I'm walking down the street…
they look at me like I'm diseased.
Truthfully, I feel that way, too.
But you know, when I was here inside the Sumo ring
was the first time in my life that I felt healthy.
Look at me, Kitano. I'm Sumo!
Sumo isn't just being fat.
I'm just fat, me?
I'm just fat?
Move me from this spot and I'll give this up.
Hear me, Kitano?
Move me from the ring and I'll give this up.
What, that's legal?
Kitano, please. Give me a chance.
Kitano, one last chance.
Thanks, Kitano
It's nice here, eh? --Really something.
Hey, there's Hertzl
Hertzl! Quiet! –What?
In your place you wouldn't yell "Gidi, Gidi"--This isn't my place.
Why are you embarrassing us?
Serve them chanko.
What are you doing here?
They didn't believe you weren't lying So I brought them to see him.
But he's busy.
Didn't I tell you he's putting us on?
In the meantime, we're all gaining weight for him.
Really, Hertzl, we've been waiting for him a week already.
We're all here so he can say Hi.
What do you want? You came without letting me know.
Wow.
What's going on? They didn't order yet.
Kitano ordered this.
Sit.
What, the gyogi Kitano? --Yes.
Do you have diet cola?
These guys all look alike.
Enough with that stuff. --You're such a racist.
What racist, is it my fault they all look alike? --Enough.
Aaron, what’s the use of this? --Hertzl, tell me this..
Is my mother's caregiver Chinese or Japanese?
Filipina.
Filipina?
This is the recipe for chanko.
It's wrestler's food. --Thanks.
Fattening but healthy.
Bon appétit.
Thanks.
Kitano, the Hebrew you speak.
Really top niche.
Top notch. --notch, notch.
Notch? --Notch!
So what do you say to my idea?
This dojo's
time will come
Sumo training requires a connection to nature
Is he speaking Hebrew or Japanese?
What's connection to nature? We've been working on this for two days.
Two minutes from here, fat son, we'll train there
It's hard to make a group from 4.
What 4? We’re 5.
Gidi, Sammy, Aaron, Goldie and me. 5
No, no. There are no women in Sumo
Are you kidding?
You remember that now? --He thought she came to make coffee.
What do you mean? Goldie's got a black belt in Judo.
There are no women in Sumo --Kitano, stop with the nonsense.
It's impossible without Goldie Turn a blind eye.
That won't go over in Japan.
We're not in Japan, we're in Ramla. The people here are modern.
Leave it alone, Hertzl.
It doesn't matter.
It's fine, Hertzl.
Stay Goldie, don't let it bug you. --It's OK, Aaron, bye.
Gee, Kitano, how tactless can you get?
You're crying? --Does it look like it?
If he doesn't want me, it's his loss.
It's over with.
Do you think I'd cry?
Do you really think I'd cry over nothing?
Know how often I've been hurt? I can't even tell you.
Don't look at me like that. My skin's like an elephant's.
I'm such a dummy.
I gained ten pounds in two weeks. It took me a year to lose that.
What will I do now?
You know I love you the way you are.
I'm a cow. Such a cow.
You're not a cow.
I've never heard of a cow with skin like an elephant's.
Don't you think I heard what your mother said about me?
Goldie, you're everything to me.
Do you think I'll let people treat you like that?
The two of us are in this together.
And I'm going to quit this Sumo on account of you.
For you.
Stop talking nonsense. It's important to you.
You’re the most important thing to me.
I'll stop going for you. They can forget about me.
How could you tell her that?
You know how hard it is to form a group with four, right?
It's your fault that in Japan women are contaminated?
Again with Japan! What's Japan got to do with it?
The competition's in Japan.
What competition? --The sumo competition.
When is it? --In about three months.
What are you doing? You need something, ask.
Why did Kitano mention a competition? We haven't even started training yet.
He muttered some nonsense in Japanese. That…that without a goal, there's no path.
Only he said it much better.
Don't you get it, we're going toJapan!
We'll show them where the salmon pees!
Why so happy? He said only one of us gets to go.
There'll be a contest after training, and then we'll see who goes.
So calm down. --You calm down!
I gotta go. --When did you get so devoted?
She says come, you run.
She tells you to quit sumo and you quit sumo?
She didn't tell me to quit. --So don't.
You talked a lot of bullshit at Geula's
But I could tell that you didn't really mean it.
C'mon, get going. Wouldn't want to keep her waiting
Wow, is that the chef's doing?
That's nothing, wait 'till you see me scrub pots.
I don't think I can keep working there with that Kitano.
What did he say when you quit sumo?
I hope he's not mad.
For my part he can fire me. It's not like I'm a chef there.
Cut it out, Hertzl.
Don't get in trouble with him. Go to sumo, and that's it.
What does it matter now?
I'm not fat
I'm big boned. I'm not fat.
Hi.
Where have you been in the middle of the night?
You were sleeping by 8, so I went to my Mom's.
I couldn't sleep.
I don't like it. Why'd you leave me with no dinner?
You're killing me. My stomach was a vacuum.
Should I warm you up something? --I'm not hungry now
Round Sun: Bartender?
Grape: Send a picture
I don't have one. But I've got a webcam.
Chubby!
240 pounds.
You wear it well.
You're a real bear.
Bear?
Why insult me? --Who's insulting?
I'm into bears.
What, you never heard of a "gay bear?"
Show me your face.
Get away, you fruitcake.
I didn't tell Mom I was sleeping here.
How old are you, again?...
Come in from the balcony. I don't like you standing there
I've got to get moving.
Wait, I made breakfast.
I'm not hungry.
How come?
Sorry, Goldie.
It’s the weekend, what's the rush? Come out for a second.
It's just that I'm working.
And come in, I don't like you standing out there. --What work?
You told me you were off today.
I'm working, but just a half day.
Bye
Wait, give me a kiss.
I'm on my way. Is Kitano there already?
Cool, be there soon.
Stop worrying, Hertzl. Don't tell her, and that's it.
You think I tell me my wife everything? No way!
You think she tells me everything?
Yes. Her problem.
Listen, Hertzl. Lies are the recipe for a healthy relationship.
Wow. You should be a marriage counselor.
Actually, you know what? Tell her.
That way sumo won't interest her at all.
Now it's your turn.
What's this Sammy?
What's the camera for?
You know I'm doing a piece on sumo.
You're not doing any piece. Goldie doesn't know I'm here.
What do you want from me? Tell her.
They’re thinking of firing me.
Shut it, already.
Hey! What the hell. I wasn't talking.
That was fantastic, eh?
Really great.
You see? I'm not just blowing smoke.
I'm not a liar, Aaron. --Really
Excuse me.
Don't forget, come clean to Goldie.
Don't worry I'll tell her today
I'm here
Hi.
I'm going back to dieting. This isn't working.
What do you mean?
You're beautiful.
Sexy
Just look at me. Starting tomorrow, 1000 calories a day.
Get on yourself. --I don't want to.
Get on for a second, who cares? I won't say a word.
You see, you gained too.
Hertzl, it's not OK. We have to start dieting again.
We can do it, we don't need anyone.
You'll see, it'll be fun.
No stuffing yourself at night on your Mom's couscous, no lies.
We don't want any diet menus. You want to diet?
Do it yourself. What did we do? --The culinary staff
asked to limit the fat content
for a healthier menu. --What, what, what?
We're not changing any menus and don't screw with my mind.
What's it your business? You're just the social worker.
Yardena, it wasn't my call but I have to tell you I support it.
You have to understand, girls, it's an educational project.
Hunger is our servant, not our master.
God protect us!
You've gotten even fatter than your dad.
.Mom, get out of my room. --How much did you gain?
It's all because of that slug of yours who got you off your diet. --Mom!
Put something on, I can't stand to look at you like this.
You can't stand to look at me like this?
Don't worry, you won't have to see me any more.
Get out of my room.
Get out before I take my shorts off, too!
What's the bag for?
I left home.
I can't live with my mom any more.
So, wait. You're moving in here?
Is it OK?
It's fine if you move in because you want to live with me.
Not if you're just running away from Mom.
Goldie, that's just coincidence. I really want to live with you.
OK, fine.
Is there something to eat? --Yes.
It's started again.
Why are you mad?
I'm not mad, I'm hungry
Believe me, Goldie, you can be fat and happy.
It's all in your mind.
It's not in my mind, it's sitting on my hips.
C'mon, Hertzl, really.
Do you honestly think there's such a thing as fat and happy?
Would it bother you to have a hot girlfriend?
I wouldn't leave you for that.
The most important thing…
is that the spit for the meat rotate in unison with the Earth.
Knock it off, it's not interesting enough for a news segment.
Is it my fault I'm not interesting?
I don't understand why you're letting Hertzl run your life.
You want to do a segment on Sumo? Do a segment on Sumo!
A journalist would sell his mother for a good story.
Hi. --Speak of the devil.
Great, you didn't leave anything.
Goldie's back on her diet.
All I need now is to lose more weight.
My wife won't let me in the door if I gain any more weight.
Do you know what?
Women don't like fatties.
But for gays, fat guys are considered the most manly.
They call fat guys "bears"
A "bear" with a leather jacket and motorcycle is the ultimate.
What?
Everybody knows that. --Yeah, sure.
Maybe in the park.
OK, fine, we heard you.
What did I tell you? If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck..
Oh, my stomach…
I shouldn't have drunk this tea.
Mona, how are you?
I'm good. Is he here?
No, he's at work.
I'm worried that he's gaining so much weight
And instead of listening to me, he runs away.
You don't have to worry. We're back on our diets.
How can that be when he almost broke my house with that Sumo?
No, no, I think you're confused. We're done with Sumo.
You're really back on the diet?
Terrific, sweety.
I worry about his health, he's like a little boy.
Mona, I'm.. rushing to work.
Want something to drink? …A glass of water? --No, no
I'd like to have coffee with you…
I'm just late for the office. --No, that's OK.
Maybe next time. --Yes.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
Sorry, we're closed.
Hertzl's not here?
No.
Are you his mother? --Of course.
Aren't you ashamed of having him scrub pots?
Hertzl's a cook. A chef.
A chef also need to know how to scrub pots.
Maybe in Japan, but here Hertzl could make you the best couscous.
It's a Japanese restaurant, Ma'am
If you served couscous they wouldn't eat it?
And besides, he makes better shusi
than any foreigner you bring from Japan.
Fine it doesn't matter. How is Hertzl, is he doing OK?
He…
He isn't talking to me.
I'll talk to him. --No, don't interfere.
It's better if he doesn't we were talking about him.
You don't have to worry about him.
Kitano.
Pardon me. --No, it's alright.
It's just from the sewing machine.
You sew?
Very nice. --Wow, that's amazing.
Fantastic, eh?
From Japan?
Whoa, I'm not wearing that. What am I, a fairy?
Kitano, is there a chance we can wear this on top of our clothes?
It doesn't suit me. --Knock it off, it's sharp.
Sure, a duck would dress like that --Screw yourself
Why the chatter? You see how he's invested, don't you?
What can I tell you? I don't think I can deal with this shit.
I wouldn't wear this if the world was ending.
Just say you're afraid of losing.
Gidi, calm down, I'm married.
Son of a bitch, that's not legal
Fuck.
Kitano, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me.
Won't start. This car sucks.
Whaddya want? It's Japanese.
No, really, Kitano, we're having lots of fun with Sumo.
Fun isn't enough for the contest in Japan.
Hello --Wow! --What about our clothes?
Yokozuna have to feel comfortable in their mawashi.
He's completely nuts. Fucker.
How do we get back now?
Ah, nice…
What, Mona? You working here too?
My, how you've grown!
Can I have the keys?
How are you? --Great.
C'mon, go.
How come you're here? --That's it?
That's how you greet your mother?
I raised you for 35 years, and her, what, a week?
A month.
You know you didn't act right, isn't it better just to apologize?
Aren't those Sumo underpants I sewed enough of an apology?
They're very nice, Ma. Thanks.
You're an artist, a real genius.
Does Goldie like them, too?
Sure.
That won't fly with me. I'm your mother.
You spoke with Goldie? --What do I have to say to her?
Why? What?
Nothing, don't mix in.
Everything I do for you is no good.
I'd give up my eyes out for you, but you don't care a thing about me
Like your Mom was dead already.
You've also forgotten your father.
How long since you've been to his grave?
It's all weeds.
Hi. --Hi.
Do we start dieting today? --Today.
Mrs. Broccoli, I'm talking to you. --Just a sec, Gila.
Don't make like you don't hear, I'm talking to you, you hear me.
We'll speak outside. --Maybe you don't know…
But the only consolation we have in this stinking place is food.
And you come in and take that, too? You're not ashamed?
Does it look like I need to diet? Motherfu…
Gila, fatty food isn't healthy. I don't understand you.
You don't understand, great. --No.
So from now on we'll start speaking your language.
What's that about?
Hunger strike!
Please go outside.
Da--ba--da--ba--da ba--da--ba
Da--ba--da, da--ba--da --Gila, outside with me, please.
Da--ba--da, c'mon, -- Da--ba--da, da--ba--da, da--ba
You don't give a shit about us, that's what you get.
Quiet
Quiet!
Hi.
Hi --You're home early, what's wrong?
The inmates went wild.
Went wild? You OK?
I just stuck my nose in where it didn't belong.
They can eat what they want.
Enough, I don't want to get into it.
Good.
I want to talk to you.
I can't now, I have to go out, I…
I'll be back in a couple of hours, I just promised my Mom…
Tell me, Hertzl What do you think I am?
What?
Don't you have something to tell me?
Yeah, the boiler's broke, I almost caught pneumonia.
You need to call Aaron so he can fix it already.
Are you continuing with Sumo?
Yes.
What's the matter with you? It's a joke.
Where's this coming from?
You're on edge, so you're taking it out on me.
Goldie, what are you doing here?
Are you following me?
Hertzl, I don't care if you go to Sumo, but I do care that you're lying to me.
My Mom asked me to wash off Dad's grave.
What, sweetie, what?
What’s making you so paranoid? --It's got nothing to do with you.
You have no idea of the kind of men I've been involved with.
I can't get hurt again.
Do you feel like helping?
Can I?
How he loved to shower.
What did he die of?
Mom always said the fat would kill him.
Hertzl, honey, bring me the paper
The rain, the rain, Beats down on my hand.
Dad died in front of my eyes, and I laughed.
So, what do you want? You were seven.
Eight.
You OK? I could leave you here alone.
Just fine.
Hertzl, come help me a minute.
Does she know about the Sumo? --Keep it down.
Does she know or not? --No, she doesn't.
You're a total zero.
C'mon, Aaron, it's not right to be like this. It's not nice.
Be a grownup and take the money.
You think? I didn't fix anything.
C'mon, already, if you won't take the money I won't call you again.
So, you're siding with her?
Why are you so stubborn?
I'll just get a pen. --OK, get it.
What's this? It's not a condom, is it?
No, of course not.
You're sure it's not a condom?
Doesn't look like a condom to me.
What's written on it?
"Durex"
I'd have never believed Dina could do something like this.
It's not so hard to live a lie.
The problem is they always leave you in the end.
How long have you suspected her?
She hasn't slept with me for half a year.
She's never home.
Now this condom?
For sure she's cheating on me.
I think you're jumping to conclusions.
Maybe before you blow things up You should get a private eye.
I got one already.
It used to be a P.I. came from, you know, a combat unit.
There used to be integrity in the profession. Now every desk jockey is a paparazzo.
And the gas, you know how much I pay for gas?
You want to get to the point? --Alright.
You're wife's a hottie.
She meets him every Monday and Thusday…
around 7:00, at the Hilton.
You want to see the pictures of them doing it?
No.
I'll send you my bill.
You know, if you can write it off you'll get a refund.
What do you do?
I'm a plumber.
Knock it off, they won't let you expense a P.I.
Why not? I'll fake a plumber's letterhead…
and bill for "services"
C'mon, guys, let's go in.
Whaddya, nuts? We decided you wouldn't film this.
Do you want Goldie to leave me?
Whaddya mean we decided? You decided!
Sammy, watch out.
Tell me, Hertzl, when you look at me, what do you see?
I see somebody who's trying to screw me.
You know what your problem is?
Even when you're looking at me, you're only thinking about yourself.
I'm though covering your ass.
Go screw yourself…
You piece of crap, you sonofabitch.
Because of your bullshit I got fat as a pig.
How could she not cheat on me? How?
She's going out with somebody half my size.
Take a look at me, see what I look like.
Asshole, it's your fault she's cheating.
What do you want from us? What did he do to you?
Did he force you to come here? Tell me.
Before you tell me what to do, you should come out of the closet.
What’s the connection?
What’s the connection? What?
Maybe it's something I've got to do in my own time.
Do in your own time?
You're 35, Gidi, wake up. Life is passing you by.
Hello?
Hertzl?
It’s Aaron, Goldie.
Hi Aaron. Put Hertzl on.
He can't come to the phone right now.
We're supposed to walk. Where are you?
Hello, Goldie
Goldie? --Aaron?
I can't hear you.
Aaron?
I don't have reception here…
We're at the Sumo ring.
We're at the ring.
Look who I brought you.
You lied to me a whole month? Why?
What do you think I am?
Wait a second, Goldie.
There's no room for liars in my life, Hertzl. --Goldie.
Goldie!
Goldie…
Whoa, c'mere, freakshow, how many times I gotta tell you…
to move your fat ass off of my property, eh?
The clock's ticking, you're not moving, what am I going…
That's just great, you nutcase.
Got a light?
No.
Hertzl?
I should have just told her.
Hertzl, a true Yokozuna has to be above it all.
Above feelings, above love.
What, a Yokozuna has no heart?
A Yokozuna's heart is just a muscle.
Then it looks like I'm no Yokozuna.
Is that from the yakuza? --No, from the sushi.
But I thought you fled the yakuza to Ramla.
I'm here because of Zionism.
You're Jewish? --Depends on who you ask.
We in the Makuya are Japanese Zionists.
It's one of our precepts to live here.
These days I'm more Ramla-ite than Japanese.
The guys in the restaurant think you fled here because of the yakuza
I think they'll be a little disappointed now.
So don't disappoint them.
I'm through lying.
Has Goldie called?
What are you, drunk?
This Goldie of yours treated you like crap.
You can calm down. She threw me out.
Don't take it to heart, you're much better off without that slug.
Mommm…
C'mere a minute, c'mere.
Better take a look at this…
It's why you're in no position to judge anybody.
G'night.
Good night.
Aaron…
With him you're cheating?
With him?
He's fatter than I am.
Coke, please.
Gidi…
Yes.
We’re reporting today from the woods. Here’s the story.
Quietly, deep in the Ben Shemen Forest,
Four men from Ramla have decided to take charge of their obesity…
and become Sumo wrestlers.
Watch this…
The ceremonial wrapping of the mawashi takes over 20 minutes,
Just like making shawarma.
Believe it or not, in three weeks..
there’ll be a genuine Sumo contest in Ramla
The winner will represent Israel in the Sumo tournament in Japan.
This is Sammy Bukobza, local news, Ramla.
This sumo has wrecked our lives.
Sammy, I feel like shit that I let you do that report.
And Gidi, I’m…
sorry if you did something you didn’t want to because of me, so…
Who are you to talk this way?
What are you, God?
You should be proud that he’s come out of the closet.
What do you want? That he should lie like you?
Dina left you, don’t make a big production, OK?
Cool it. Dina cheated on me because I was a shitty husband.
Not because I’m fat.
And you know what? I had it coming.
I’m done with sumo. --what, do you mean done? --Here it comes.
Do you know how many businesses in Ramla sponsored us after the report?
Kitano’s already signed with them. He’s going to bring Japan to Ramla.
You need to figure out if by quitting, you’re
lying to yourself.
If you want Goldie so much, show her what you’re worth in the match.
That’s what I’m going to do.
But don’t get your hopes up, because you’re going to lose.
But what’s that Kitano says?
“It’s more important to lose with honor than to win”
What a date I had!
So I met him… --Gidi
Be satisfied we accept you for who you are. Don’t push it, OK?
Fine.
I’m so happy you came back, dearie.
It hurts so much to see how you’ve ruined your body.
I don’t know what say, Geula, I’m on a murderous diet…
and I keeping swelling.
Besides, I’m nauseous like a pregnant woman.
Pregnant?
What?
Watch out, Goldie..
you know what pregnancy does to your body?
It’s not for you right now.
You’d double in size with your genes.
After children, no diet can help you.
Avoid pregnancy like fire, Goldie. Like fire.
Your advice is a little late, Geula.
OK, fine, bye.
Stay fat all your life!

Hi, Hertzel.? You didn’t call back.
The battery on my cell died, you can reach me at…

I didn’t answer in time, and wanted to check if it was you.
Even if not, I want to say I’m sorry and I love you.
The match is soon and I want you to come.
It’s the most important thing for me.
Hi Goldie, it’s Aaron.
I just wanted to say enough is enough.
You know he’s sick over your ass.

You like a woman with something to hold on to.
The finalists are Hertzel Masika and Aaron Ben David.
They’re calling you.
I lost. --It's OK.
Goldie.
Goldie, open up please.
Goldie.
Goldie, I know you’re there.
I’m sorry I wasn’t straight with you. I need to talk with you.
If you want it like this, we’ll speak like this.
It’s bigger than me, Goldie.
As long as I can remember
I’ve lied to please people.
Goldie, I lied because I didn’t want you to go.
And because I lied, you left.
Goldie…
This is the first time I’ve ever felt like somebody.
The first time I wasn’t just “Fat Hertzel”
And it’s not just the sumo.
Maybe a little. But it’s mostly because of you.
Because I love you.
You know who won and didn’t take the trophy?
You know why?
Because you weren’t there.
Because I miss you, Goldie.
I miss you and I don’t know what to do.
Goldie, I love you.
My heart’s not just a muscle.
Do you want to marry me?
I’ve only known you 3 months.
One of them we weren’t speaking, because you lied.
Your Mom can’t stand me. Because I’m fat.
Besides, you’re the least romantic man I know.
Is that a yes?
You’re lucky I’m pregnant.
