:29:00
Look what it says in the paper.
:29:02
Look, look, look!
:29:05
Quiet! Quiet!
:29:07
Stop braying like a pack of mules!
:29:09
Let the man talk.
:29:11
Talk, Avram.
:29:12
My paper came to the post office today,
like it always does.
:29:16
Usually it comes on a Thursday,
but it can be a day late...
:29:19
Avram, that's not talking!
That's babbling.
:29:22
The news... What does it say?
:29:26
Quiet!
:29:27
Talk, Avram.
:29:28
Well, I was reading my paper.
:29:31
It's nothing very important,
a story about the crops in the Ukraine,
:29:35
and this and that.
:29:36
Avram! Talk.
:29:39
And then
:29:41
I saw this.
:29:45
All right. We all see it.
:29:49
What does it say?
:29:55
"In a village called Rajanka,
:29:57
all the Jews were evicted,
:29:59
forced to leave their homes."
:30:03
For what reason?
:30:06
It doesn't say.
:30:08
Maybe the Tzar wanted the land.
Maybe a plague?
:30:11
May the Tzar have his very own plague.
:30:13
Amen.
:30:14
What's the matter with you?
:30:16
Why don't you ever bring us
some good news?
:30:19
It's not my fault. I only read it.
:30:21
"An edict from the authorities."
:30:24
May the authorities grow like onions,
their heads in the ground.
:30:28
Amen!
:30:29
What good will your cursing do?
:30:33
You stand around,
you curse and you chatter,
:30:36
.and you don't do anything.
:30:37
You'll all chatter your way into the grave.
:30:40
Excuse me.
:30:41
You're not from this village.
:30:44
No.
:30:45
Where are you from?
:30:46
Kiev. I was a student
in the university there.
:30:52
Tell me. Is that the place where you
learned how not to respect your elders?
:30:57
That is where I learned
there is more to life than talk.
