Tango Shalom

Behold, the promised land!

Thy sayeth unto you, behold the promised land.

Crown heights.

Brooklyn.

Oh, Moshe! Moshe!

Shlomi, we talked about not using the computer on shabbat.

Sundown is at 7:41. Got four minutes and 12 seconds.

And it should only be for religious studies or business.

This is business.

"U.S. unemployment at danger levels."

Dad, we're heading to the next great depression.

Where is shira?

Where do you think?

Kowalski at the plate.

Bottom of the ninth, two out, runner on third.

One second. I know, daddy.

But this is for business.

Someday I could run a baseball team.

It's very close to shabbat, shira.

Yes! We won! Whoo hoo!

Yes!

Mmm.

Do you want some more?

Give me your plate. Take a little bit. We have plenty.

Thank you.

Mia closed the store today.

Business is so bad.

I told you, dad.

By day, I'm Moshe Yehuda, the shy, hasidic Jew,

but by night...

I am...

Fernando caliente, the hot, hasidic bullfighter!

The bull's going fast!

I'll protect you.

Any questions?

- Yes, avi. - Rabbi Yehuda,

why do women wear scarves or wigs on their heads?

To cover their head is for respect.

The same way it is forbidden for a man to touch any woman

other than one's wife.

So, where's hashem?

Everywhere!

And how do we find him?

And what do we do on shabbat?

We.

Come on, come on, boy. Come come.

- Come on, kids. - Grandpa!

And take you bags. Take your bags.

Shabbat shalom.

- See you guys next Monday. - Bye, rabbi.

Shabbat shalom.

Hello, Moshe. How are things?

Ah, I could complain, but it wouldn't help.

Unfortunately, I've got something else for you

not to complain about.

If you can't pay the back rent on this unit,

I'll need a new tenant. I'm sorry, Moshe.

Borah, you've been more than fair and patient with me.

Moshe, to what do I owe the visit?

Ready to buy that couch we've haggled over since purim?

Last time we spoke, Yosef, you were so busy

that you were thinking of hiring someone

to help you in the storeroom.

Moshe, the job is yours.

I can't pay a lot, just above minimum wage.

Yosef, can you have a look at the label on this sofa?

You had to hire the helper and we can't afford it.

Mara, Moshe's in need. He has five children he has to feed.

What about the six children we have to feed?

Sha. I will not abandon my friend.

So, Moshe, when can you start?

Yosef, I have to turn down your kind offer.

But blessing to you and your family.

Bye.

Why do you even talk like that?

I can spell as good as you.

- Cannot! - Can too!

- Cannot! - Can too!

- Cannot! Cannot! - Can too! Can too!

Esther and rifka.

The two of you are giving me such a headache. Stop.

Look at this, ma.

"Since start of the recession, suicide is up 20%."

This is what you want to share with your mother

before a dinner party.

Daddy!

- Sorry, ma. - Just trying to be.

Do me a favor, take this contraption

and be in the other room.

Come on hooligans.

Come on.

- Mommy, Esther's bothering me. - Come on, go, go, go, go.

Don't ask.

Raquel, you outdid yourself.

The chicken, the,

the roasted potatoes.

Thank you, rahamim.

Your kids are the best. Beautiful, handsome, brilliant.

Thank you, Marina.

I so look forward to being their aunt Marina.

Grandma.

Shira, can you take the kids out into the playroom?

Adult talk time. March!

Well, Mrs. Zlotkin, it's so nice for you to come here for dinner

and meet our loving mama.

Thank you.

You know, Mrs. Yehuda,

you have so much in common with my mother.

Like what?

Well...

Sewing. Uh...

You both have a talent for making creative garments.

What do you make?

I spent time at the

I make prayer shawls,

- yamakas. - Hmm.

I could get you a discount.

Hmm.

Well, I work for a fashion company.

My specialty is girdles,

lace panties, and bikini bras.

What?

Bikini bras.

Mama, ma, what is it?

I miss rahamim's beard.

Mama, I did not shave my beard because of Marina.

When we fell in love, he had a beard.

But nowadays, a Jewish woman

with progressive views,

pretty soon you'll wear loud clothes,

you stop uttering the sabbath,

you think about having sex... In a group!

May I say something?

Your rahamim, he's a fine man.

Maybe a little too old for my Marina.

But his success at the wall street stock market,

fantastic.

He's no Bill Gates,

but any woman would be happy to say

he's my son-in-law.

Or any woman would be proud to say he's my son,

beard or no beard.

- I'm dizzy! - Mama!

I'm dizzy.

This is crazy.

I'm a simple woman, I'm a plain woman.

I can't have controversy!

Hey, mama, we understand. I want you to have schnapps.

Here, come, come, here's some schnapps.

Here.

- A bissel. A bissel. - Want some more?

A bissel. A bissel.

Let's put our differences on the side, okay?

Now, I think that rahamim,

you wanted to talk to me and Raquel in private.

See you later.

Oh yeah, give her the bottle.

Um, rahamim, I'm sorry.

Mama's a little meshugenah right now but things will change.

But that's not what I want to discuss with you privately.

As my older brother, you've always been there for me.

Advised me, protected me.

When I got through business school with your help

and became a big success, I knew I'd be able to pay you back.

That is so nice of you, rahamim.

But the firm's hedge fund

that my clients and I have been investing in

has collapsed and half of my capital is gone with it.

That's terrible, terrible, rahamim.

But thank hashem you still have the other half...

The other half is gonna have to cover fines.

So I'm not gonna be able to afford the big wedding

at the Waldorf astoria grand ballroom

that Marina, the love of my life, is entitled to.

I'm hoping...

I can again turn to my older brother for some help.

Oy vey iz mir.

Oy vey iz mir. Oy vey iz mir.

Why didn't you talk about our problems?

How could I?

Look, hashem told me to get a job.

He didn't say I have to get it in our neighborhood.

What, you're gonna go to gentiles for a job?

Moshe... I've never seen you like this before.

Moshe?

Moshe?

- Moshe? - Hmm.

Good luck.

That'll be six dollars.

Yeah, those are fine.

Okay.

You know what? I'll take two more.

Would you like them wrapped?

Sure.

- Watch where you're going! - He's scared.

I'm looking for a job.

I'm sorry, the job was just taken.

Tough out there, huh?

Oy, yeah.

Thank you.
