1 - Hey.
- MAURA: Hi, guys.
- JOSH: Hey, guys.
- Ooh, I don't like it.
MAURA: Well, you don't like the seeds.
That's why.
You could've gotten it without the seeds.
Oh, that's right.
I don't like seeds.
- That's right.
- Well, why didn't you get the plain? But it looks like it's got dirt on it.
It's not dirt; it's spices.

- Yeah.
- Crank that AC up.
- Full power AC.
- Did you get the street meat? - Dude, I had a lot of street meat.

Now remember, you have to dip the bread.
You have to dip the bread all the way into the spice or there's no point.

SHELLY: Andale.
SHELLY: Ooh, we just passed a sign to Bethlehem.
BRYNA: Is Bethlehem part of the West Bank? NITZAN: Of course it is.
MAURA: Oh, don't say, "Of course it is," like that.
It's where Jesus was born.
It's confusing.
People don't know whether it's Christian or Arab.
NITZAN: Christians and Arabs are not opposite.
There are lots of Christian Arabs, you know.
MAURA: Who is this person who lives in Tapuz? SARAH: It's my friend's mom.
MAURA: Why are we stopping there? SARAH: We just have to drop something off.

SHELLY: Oy, such a big deal.
ALI: (SIGHS) Sarah.
Do you know that this is a settlement? JOSH: Um, how long is this gonna take? Oh, my God, it's gonna take, like, five minutes, okay? We're just dropping something off.

- SHELLY: Looks just like Park La Brea.
SARAH: Thanks.
It's it's over there.

(GRUNTING) BRYNA: Ugh, I got to pee.
SHELLY: Oh, God.
I haven't done my steps.
Who is this friend? This this this Hagar? JOSH: It's Hadar.
It's Hadar with a "D.
" Do you remember that cartoon? Hagar the Horrible.
- Fat guy.
- I remember Babar.
Babar the Borrible.
- That's good.
Good one.
- SHELLY: You know what? Hagar was from the Torah.
Everything here is from the Torah.
- We're in Israel.
- SHELLY: Sarah and Hagar were both Abraham's lovers.
And Sarah was his wife and Hagar was the handmaiden.
Sarah begat Isaac, and he's the father of the Jews - and Hagar begat Ishmael - BRYNA: Begat.
and he was the father of the Islams.
And that's why we're still fighting.
- Now, Ishmael is Moby Dick.
- JOSH: Thank you.
Mohammed invented Islam.
- SHELLY: No.
Oh, no.
- Mom, you have zero facts correct in this whole situation.
Ay-eesh.
BRYNA: Nice breeze.
(SHELLY SIGHS, SCOFFS) This is not how I planned to spend my time in the Holy Land.
I'm going up there.
- I'll come with you.
- Maybe they have Fresca.
SHELLY: Yeah, Fresca would be good.
- BRYNA: It would with ice.
- (KNOCKS ON DOOR) - Shalom.
- Shalom.
I'm Sarah's mother.
- Oh, wow.
- Could we come in and tinkle? - (HADAR SPEAKING HEBREW) - Pish, pish.
- Pee-pee.
- (SPEAKS HEBREW) Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- Hi, welcome.
- Do you have Fresca? (SPEAKS HEBREW) Fresca? Um, I want to go.
Where do you want to go? I just I don't want to be here, okay? I don't want to be on this stolen land.
Lyfe and her friends are 20 minutes away.
I can take a cab there.
I want to go.
Do you want to get into a Palestinian taxi? - I've been in a Palestinian taxi, it's fine.
- JOSH: Wait.
You're you're gonna leave? You're gonna leave the trip? ALI: It's not a big deal.
I'll find you guys later.
Okay.
Just chill for a second, okay? I'm gonna get these fucking jamochas out of here.
All right? Give me a second.
ALI: (GROANS) It's not a big deal.
You know, the West Bank is not safe for a woman alone.
I, for one, wouldn't allow my daughter - to go traipsing around there.
- MAURA: All right.
- It is not safe.
- All right.
- First of all, please don't call me a woman.
I don't want to be part of your weird fucked-up math.
Okay? Because I have a vagina, I'm gonna get raped; because I have a vagina, I'm not safe.
- (SCOFFS) - Would you tell Josh not to go in the West Bank? - Okay, okay, okay.
- It's like when I was at the dentist as a kid at Dr.
Schulruff's, and you'd go to the bathroom and there would be a ruler with a key for the girls' room, but the boys' room didn't have a key.
Boy, this one's angry.
(SCOFFS) - What's going on? - I don't know.
I don't know, I just I don't, I don't feel right.
I don't feel good.
I understand.
I felt that way.
Agitated.
I'd be invited places.
I didn't know if I would show up, I didn't know if someone else.
I understand.
I just don't feel good in my body.
I don't feel Just, I don't feel in my body.
Do you think you're trans? (SCOFFS) I I I don't know.
I don't know that I feel like a woman.
Whatever that means.

SHELLY: She's prettier than Raggedy Ann.

I'm in trouble, as usual, because Len and I are having sex with a third person in our relationship who is a young woman, and a - a wonderful woman.
- LEN: She's a wonderful woman - who consented to everything.
- Yes.
Consented, okay? She's a wonderful, smart, incredible woman, and we have strong feelings.
We're in, like, NRE.
Like, new relationship energy that's a term that we're Anyway, and I I'm sorry, but, you know, her mother happened to live in Israel, and we wanted to say hi to her, and I didn't know this fucking place was a fucking settlement.
I thought "Tapuz" sounded like some beautiful jewel or something, and I was wrong.
Okay, I was wrong.
So leave me the fuck alone.
Okay, are we good? Let's get on the bus.
Maybe now we can see my trees? ("FOOL'S GOLD" BY YAM LO MOSCHECH PLAYING) (GOAT BLEATING) - Hi.
- Hello.
Hey, Ali.
GIRL: Ali! LYFE: Ali Pfefferman, you're back.
(SPEAKS HEBREW) - Hi, handsome.
- (SPEAKS HEBREW) HUSSEN: Sorry.
I'm not familiar with this cool guy.
Wow, Ali, amazing story.
(LAUGHTER) I don't know if it's amazing exactly.
JANAN: You know, if my grandfather was still alive, he would be so happy to see his house so full.
(SPEAKING HEBREW) (JANAN SPEAKS HEBREW) (CONTINUES SPEAKING HEBREW) (LAUGHTER) - What's funny? - I'm I'm worried that her grandfather might have been a little conservative.
- Oh, and this crowd would be - Yes.
I see.
Occupying his land.
JANAN: No, I think he would still love it.
- Progressive grandpa.
- Oh, my God.
My grandpa.
(LAUGHS) (BUS HISSES) (COUGHING) NITZAN: We came on a good day.
- It's not too busy.
- Ah.
Go ahead.
- SARAH: Thank you.
- MAURA: It's very bright.
JOSH: Fuck.
One of these Bedouins - better be a chiropractor.
- Thank you.
- MAURA: Thank you.
- SHELLY: Yes.
Thank you.
SARAH: Oh, this is so cute.
BRYNA: You know, I tasted one of those.
SHELLY: They're terrible, Bry.
MOSHE: Now, this was started by a friend of mine, Benjamin.
It's a, uh, Bedouin village.
JOSH: So, these Bedouins are cool with us just, like, crashing with them? NITZAN: They're not real Bedouins.
Real Bedouin camp, you don't want to visit.
Traditional Bedouins live off camel milk.
MAURA: Wow.
I've never been more lactose intolerant.
LEN: Is camel milk kosher? SHELLY: Do the camels bite? MOSHE: No, but they do spit.
- BRYNA: You want to ride one? - SHELLY: But they look so sweet.
Can we touch them? Yeah.
Careful.
SHELLY: Hi, kids.
NITZAN: So, there's water inside.
- Thank you.
- Aren't they nice-looking? Whoa, be careful.
Be careful.
SHELLY: (STAMMERS) They bite.
- No.
Easy.
- He's sweating.
- He's hot.
- Yeah.
(CAMEL GROANS) - SHELLY: Hi.
So, this is the camel ride? - BRYNA: Yeah.
- Can this thing go any faster? - I don't know.
- Driver? - It's too dangerous.
SHELLY: Can we get out of the parking lot? - BRYNA: He's not the driver.
- He is the driver.
He's the camel driver.
- We'll pay you to leave the parking lot.
- Yeah.
- A lot.
- No? Name your price.
Maybe you could take us to see the Tomb of the Matriarchs? Or or Mary Magdalene? I've always - Wasn't she a a prostitute? - No, no, they made that up.
- Oh, they did.
Okay.
But she - Yeah.
It's those apostles.
- I think she washed his feet.
- That's that song.
I don't know BOTH: How to love him What to do - How to move him - (CAMEL GRUNTS) - He's singing with us.
- He's a man (BOTH LAUGH) BOTH: He's just a man.
CHILD: Ha! Ha, ah, ha Ha, ah, ha Ha, ah, ha Ha, ah, ha (ALL LAUGHING) My joke is not funny.
Okay.
- Tell it.
- Well, let's hear it.
ALI: I usually do this with a Russian accent, but - Tell your joke.
- Okay.
A grasshopper walks into a bar and says to the bartend No, no, no.
And the bartender says to him, "Ah, we have a drink named after you.
" And the grasshopper says, "Oh, really? You have a drink named Shlomo?" (LAUGHS) It's funny if you've ever had a grasshopper.
It's a drink.
(ALL LAUGHING) - (LAUGHTER) - Don't quit your day job, Pfefferman.
What day job? (ALL LAUGHING) JOSH: So, it's cool for Ali to just be AWOL right now? I mean, if I knew we could get a hall pass, I'd I'd be clubbing in Bethlehem.
No one interested in a traditional Bedouin dinner? Hmm? What is a traditional Bedouin dinner? (SCOFFS) What you believe You give and receive (CHUCKLES) What about the little tent down there, is someone there? No.
You know what, let's do the greenhouse over there.
- The greenhouse? - Yeah.
Okay.
(LAUGHS) And ask no questions why Here.
You got it.
You just slip slide on by You slip slide on by (MOANS) Take it off.
No, not that.
I don't take this off.
Can I take this off? Yeah.
Um (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) Maybe not.
Or, I mean, unless you feel like you need to touch my tits, or What do you want to do? (LAUGHS) I don't know.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
(SIGHS) Sorry.
- No problem.
- I just Take your time.
Okay.
It just never occurred to me that I could not take this off.
I mean, that's literally never occurred to me before.
And, I mean, yeah, I'd love to try having sex without breasts.
But I don't know what that means.
How did you um, figure this out? I mean, when did you make the decision that you were gonna not take your binder off during sex? Moments like this.
Just exploring.
Trial, error.
Adventure.
Yeah.
So, what's the dynamic for you? Are are you always the guy, and you're always having sex with the girl? I'm just a human person.
And I just want to be a body.
I can do what bodies do.
What do bodies do? I think they sometimes do this.
Okay, but by "bodies," you don't mean 69, right? 'Cause I just got to say, I hate 69.
I don't like it.
I don't get it.
The only reason I think it's successful is because it has great branding.
- (LAUGHS) - It's just because the numbers are so cute.
And if it wasn't a six and a nine, it would have died a long time ago.
I mean, it's just too much.
Who can multitask like that, right? Actually, I'm very good at multitasking.
But, hey, we don't have to have sex.
I'm sorry.
This has just been a really weird day for me.
Fuck.
How long must we live right Before we don't even have to try? Note from your daughter Drawing of three flowers I still keep it with me Does she still want to sing? How long must we live right Before we don't even have to try? (VOCALIZING) (MUSIC FADES)
