1:22:00
He's my father.
1:22:01
The resemblance isn't striking.
1:22:04
He's the image of his mother.
1:22:06
My wife died last year.
1:22:08
I know them.
They go to my cousin's every year.

1:22:11
Fortheir health.
Does your cousin knowJews?

1:22:15
- We're not Jewish.
- Your son was stopped in a café,

1:22:18
because he was talking
in Jewish terms,

1:22:21
where he was acting like a fool.
1:22:22
What were you doing?
1:22:25
Answer Simon!
1:22:27
- Simon?
- His second name.

1:22:29
A Jewish name.
1:22:31
- I didn't know that.
- And "schlemiel"?

1:22:33
Schlamiel is German for jerk.
1:22:36
He must've heard it
at a German party.

1:22:38
I organize buffets.
I'm a butcher.

1:22:41
I told you he worked with Germans.
1:22:43
With the French, too.
1:22:45
I have a buffet for200 people
coming up.

1:22:48
High-level administration people.
1:22:57
Wait in here.
1:23:01
One last question.
Does your son play music?

1:23:04
Absolutely.
1:23:05
What instrument?
1:23:07
The violin.
1:23:08
He's constantly bending
our ears with it.

1:23:11
- No talent?
- You said it.

1:23:13
He said he was
at the top of his class.

1:23:15
A small local school.
1:23:18
I preferred the accordion,
but since his mother's a violinist.

1:23:22
Isn't she dead?
1:23:24
Isn't yourwife dead?
1:23:28
It's as if she's still alive for me.
1:23:31
Such a wonderful woman.
1:23:34
You know the way life is.
1:23:37
His teacher's name?
1:23:39
Your son's violin teacher's name.
1:23:41
What does that mean?
1:23:43
Why don't you have him
drop his pants!

1:23:45
You're clever
and like all businessmen.

1:23:48
You probably have
all the right certificates

1:23:51
indicating he's had an operation.
1:23:54
What I want to know,
since he's your kid,

1:23:57
is the violin teacher's name
he's had for 5 years.
