00:14:29 Yes, but that is not just.
00:14:31 I was unaware to be
00:14:34 Well, you can't do physics without
00:14:37 If I receive the failing
00:14:41 and I feel shame.
00:14:42 I understand the physics.
00:14:46 But you can't really
00:14:49 without understanding
00:14:51 The math tells how it really
00:14:55 The stories I give you in
00:14:58 They're like fables, say,
00:15:02 I mean...
00:15:04 Even I don't understand
00:15:07 The math is how
00:15:09 Very difficult.
00:15:10 Very difficult.
00:15:11 Well, I'm sorry, but I...
00:15:13 What do you propose?
00:15:14 - Passing grade.
00:15:16 Or perhaps I can

00:15:20 Well, the other students
00:15:22 If one student gets to retake the
00:15:27 - Secret test
00:15:29 - Hush-hush.
00:15:30 That's just not workable.

00:31:41 Larry, I feel that as head of the
00:31:46 Though it should be no cause for concern,
00:31:52 Okay.
00:31:53 But I feel
00:31:55 even though it will carry
00:31:59 on whether or not
00:32:01 So again,
00:32:04 Okay, Arlen
00:32:07 Well...
00:32:08 We've received
00:32:12 denigrating you
00:32:15 Not to grant you tenure.

00:32:25 Well, what do they say?
00:32:27 Well, they
00:32:29 Well, allegations...
00:32:31 And though we give them
00:32:36 Well, I'm not really
00:32:37 to discuss the specifics of
00:32:40 But I think you're saying these won't
00:32:43 None whatsoever.
00:32:45 So what are they?
00:32:46 Moral turpitude,
00:32:50 Uh-huh. Can I ask? Are they...
00:32:54 - Are they idiomatic?

00:33:03 Oh, no, no They're competently,
00:33:08 A native English speaker.
00:33:12 - Uh-huh.

00:34:34 I don't think
00:34:35 ...within, what, 10 feet...
00:34:39 - The...
00:34:41 - Well, even if it is, you're just
00:34:43 - I don't have to measure, you
00:34:47 What's going on?
00:34:49 Nothing.
00:34:53 - Larry?

00:35:02 What? At 5:00?
00:35:04 We're stopping at Laurie Kipperstein's
00:35:07 Hi, Mr Gopnik.
00:35:08 - You can't wash it here?
00:35:10 I'll be out

00:35:13 - We're meeting Sy at Embers.
00:35:14 Both of us.
00:35:18 Larry.
00:35:24 How are you?
00:35:27 Sy.
00:35:30 Hello, Judith.
00:35:31 Hello, Sy.
00:35:34 Larry, I want to
00:35:38 It's so important that we be
00:35:41 I'm happy to come
00:35:43 But I'm thinking, really,
00:35:45 these discussions
00:35:47 Of course Legal matters,
00:35:49 You don't mix
00:35:51 I have begged you
00:35:53 I told you,
00:35:54 Monday is timely.
00:35:57 Please, Embers is not the forum
00:36:02 No, Judith and I wanted
00:36:06 practicalities.
00:36:08 After all, this is an issue
00:36:12 Living arrangements?
00:36:14 I think we all agree
00:36:17 not being contaminated
00:36:21 the most important.
00:36:22 We shouldn't put the kids
00:36:24 The kids aren't...
00:36:25 I'm saying "we."
00:36:27 No one is playing
00:36:29 I didn't say
00:36:30 Well, let's not play "He
00:36:32 - I wasn't! I...
00:36:34 Let's just take a step back and
00:36:40 You know, Larry,
00:36:44 if I count to 10...
00:36:47 One,
00:36:49 two,
00:36:52 three,
00:36:54 four...
00:36:56 Or silently.
00:37:05 Really, to keep things
00:37:07 leading up to
00:37:09 A child's
00:37:11 Sy and I think it's best if
00:37:16 Move out?
00:37:17 - Well, it makes eminent sense.
00:37:19 Move out?
00:37:21 Well, for instance, the
00:37:24 It's not expensive.
00:37:25 The rooms are
00:37:28 This would allow you
00:37:29 There's convenience in its
00:37:31 Wouldn't it make more sense
00:37:36 Larry.
00:37:37 Larry, you...
00:37:41 I think, really,
00:37:44 is the appropriate
00:37:52 Listen here,
00:37:53 you little fucker,
00:37:55 Stop it!
00:37:56 Give it back!
00:37:57 You owe me 20 bucks,
00:37:59 - Don't worry about it!
00:38:01 - I'm gonna get it! I'm gonna get it!
00:38:03 - What's going on?
00:38:07 - What was that?
00:38:10 How's the Torah
00:38:12 Can you maybe
00:38:14 - What?
00:38:15 I'm taking some stuff to,
00:38:19 - Dad!
00:38:20 Dad! Chinese guy!
00:38:23 Culture clash.
00:38:26 Culture clash.
00:38:29 With all respect, Mr. Park,
00:38:32 - Yes.
00:38:33 it would be a culture clash if
00:38:36 to bribe people
00:38:38 Yes.
00:38:40 So, you're saying
00:38:43 No, this is defamation.
00:38:46 Let me get this straight.
00:38:47 You're threatening to sue
00:38:50 Yes.
00:38:52 - But it would...
00:38:55 Is he bothering me? No.
00:39:00 I, uh...
00:39:07 See, look...
00:39:08 If it were defamation,
00:39:10 someone I was defaming him to, or I...
00:39:12 All right,
00:39:14 I could pretend the money never
00:39:17 Yes. And passing grade.
00:39:20 - Passing grade?
00:39:23 Or you'll sue me?
00:39:24 For taking money.
00:39:26 So he did leave the money?
00:39:27 This is defamation!
00:39:30 It doesn't make sense. Either
00:39:33 Please.
00:39:38 Give me that, fucker.
00:39:47 He's very
00:39:48 I think his social skills
00:39:52 Such a sweet man, though.
00:39:54 Arthur has
00:39:56 And he never complains,
00:39:59 Sometimes I don't
00:40:01 He tried to tell me about this
00:40:05 The Mentaculus.
00:40:07 He says it's a probability
00:40:14 Does he go out
00:40:16 He tries. He's been going to the
00:40:22 I should talk.
00:40:25 How is Judith?
00:40:29 Fine. She's fine.
00:40:33 Sometimes these things
00:40:36 And it can take a while before
00:40:40 - For better or worse.
00:40:43 It was a bolt
00:40:45 What does that mean?
00:40:46 Everything that I thought was
00:40:51 Then, it's an opportunity to
00:40:57 I don't mean to sound glib.
00:41:01 It's not always easy deciphering
00:41:05 but it's not something you have
00:41:09 We're Jews.
00:41:11 We've got that well of tradition
00:41:15 When we're puzzled,
00:41:18 that have been handed down from
00:41:23 Have you talked to
00:41:29 Why not see him?
00:41:30 What's the Rabbi
00:41:32 If I knew,
00:41:34 The air out
00:41:39 I'm telling you, if someone
00:41:43 they'd make
00:42:01 Hello, Larry.
00:42:03 Oh. Rabbi Scott.
00:42:05 I thought I was going
00:42:07 He was called away
00:42:09 Ruth Brynn's mother is in the
00:42:13 Rabbi Nachtner asked me to
00:42:27 And she wants a gett.
00:42:35 A what?
00:42:39 - She wants a...
00:42:41 Uh-huh. Sure.
00:42:43 I feel like the carpet's
00:42:46 I don't
00:42:48 I'm not even sure
00:42:50 I'm too confused.
00:42:52 What reasons did she
00:42:55 She didn't give reasons
00:42:58 you know, things
00:43:00 And is that true?
00:43:02 I guess.
00:43:03 She's usually right
00:43:05 I was hoping that
00:43:08 That he would...
00:43:10 Well, with the benefit
00:43:13 No offense.
00:43:14 No, of course
00:43:18 And it's true, the point of
00:43:22 and perhaps had similar
00:43:26 And you should see the senior
00:43:29 Or even Marshak,
00:43:31 if you can get in.
00:43:32 He's quite busy,
00:43:39 Can I share
00:43:41 Because I, too, have had
00:43:44 of Hashem,
00:43:47 I, too, have forgotten
00:43:50 and when that happens,
00:43:52 "Well, if I can't see him,
00:43:56 But that's not the case.
00:43:58 You just need to
00:44:01 Am I right? I mean...
00:44:04 The parking lot here.
00:44:09 Not much to see.
00:44:11 But if you imagine
00:44:14 somebody who isn't familiar
00:44:18 somebody still with
00:44:21 Someone with
00:44:24 That's what it is, Larry.
00:44:26 Because with
00:44:28 you can see Hashem, you
00:44:31 He is in the world,
00:44:34 It sounds to me like you're looking
00:44:39 through tired eyes.
00:44:42 It sounds like she's
00:44:46 A problem.
00:44:48 A thing.
00:44:49 She is seeing Sy Ableman.
00:44:56 - Oh.
00:44:57 That's why
00:44:59 Oh I'm sorry.
00:45:01 It was his idea.
00:45:03 Well, they do need a gett
00:45:09 But... This is life.
00:45:13 You have to see these things
00:45:17 You don't have to
00:45:19 The boss isn't always right,
00:45:21 That's right!
00:45:23 Things aren't so bad.
00:45:25 Look at
00:45:29 Just look at
00:45:46 Are we eating already?
00:45:47 Sarah's going out.
00:45:49 Ow! Cut it out!
00:45:51 What's going on?
00:45:58 Isn't Dad eating?
00:45:59 He's at
00:46:01 Oh, yeah.
00:46:08 How are you, Larry?
00:46:09 Jesus, I am so sorry
00:46:11 - to be seeing you under these
00:46:14 I always thought you
00:46:16 This is so terrible, Larry.
00:46:19 Well, you know,
00:46:21 it's an opportunity for me to
00:46:24 and look at the world afresh
00:46:29 settling for the routine, tired
00:46:34 Really?
00:46:36 I don't know,
00:46:39 Well, legally,
00:46:43 it's never easy
00:46:45 Unless, of course,
00:46:48 of the wife having violated
00:46:52 Oh, no, no
00:46:54 Although she is planning to
00:46:57 Sy Ableman!
00:46:59 - Yes. But they...
00:47:03 She passed
00:47:04 Well... Still, this changes
00:47:09 Sy Ableman.
00:47:10 Not in the sense that... T
00:47:13 To my knowledge.
00:47:14 - Oh? - No I'm fairly
00:47:17 And in fact,
00:47:23 A what?
00:47:25 A ritual divorce.
00:47:26 - Oh.
00:47:28 Uh-huh.
00:47:31 Well, not really
00:47:34 Okay, um...
00:47:37 Good. Good.
00:47:39 Well...
00:47:41 On the other thing, the
00:47:44 I've asked Solomon
00:47:47 There's very little to do with
00:47:50 Okay Good

00:51:06 That's right.
00:51:08 Yes, that's why you received

00:52:04 Well, you had 14 days to

00:52:09 I didn't ask
00:52:12 I didn't listen
00:52:15 I didn't do anything!
00:52:17 - Sir! Your son.
00:52:19 He says it's urgent.
00:52:20 We can't make you
00:52:22 - Okay, okay, okay...
00:52:23 Okay, I have to
00:52:25 - This is... I'm sorry.
00:52:27 - Danny?
00:52:28 Did you join
00:52:32 - Danny?
00:52:33 Danny, this is completely
00:52:37 Okay, Dad, but you
00:52:40 Is it F Troop?
00:52:41 No, Mom's real upset.
00:52:54 Dad?
00:52:55 Yes?
00:52:57 Does this mean I can't
00:52:59 Does what mean?
00:53:00 Oh, Sy Ableman,
00:53:03 Hey, Dad.
00:53:04 What?
00:53:05 So you're coming back home?
00:53:08 Can you fix
00:53:09 What?
00:53:10 It's still,
00:53:44 She seems to be
00:53:49 But then...
00:53:51 Somebody has to pay
00:53:54 Uh-huh.
00:53:55 His own estate
00:53:56 but why does it
00:53:58 Or is it wrong
00:54:01 Judy says it is.
00:54:03 But I'm so strapped
00:54:05 carrying the mortgage, and
00:54:07 and I wrecked the car, and
00:54:11 Something like this,
00:54:14 I don't know
00:54:17 Sy's death.
00:54:19 Obviously, it's not going
00:54:22 Mmm.
00:54:23 - Would you even want that, Larry?
00:54:25 Well, yeah.
00:54:29 Or...
00:54:31 I don't know.
00:54:33 the honest answer is,
00:54:36 What was my life before?
00:54:40 So what does it all mean?
00:54:41 What is Hashem
00:54:44 making me pay for
00:54:46 - Mmm.
00:54:47 I had a car accident
00:54:50 - The same instant, for all I know.
00:54:52 Is Hashem trying to tell
00:54:56 Or that we are all one
00:55:00 How does God speak to us?
00:55:03 It's a good question.
00:55:05 You know Lee Sussman.
00:55:07 Dr Sussman?
00:55:09 Did he ever tell you
00:55:12 No Uh, what goy?
00:55:14 So, Lee is at work one day.
00:55:18 You know, he has the orthodontic
00:55:23 He's making a plaster mold.
00:55:24 It's for corrective bridgework in
00:55:27 Russell Krauss.
00:55:40 The mold dries, and Lee
00:55:42 before fabricating
00:55:45 He notices
00:55:50 There appears to be
00:55:52 on the inside of the
00:56:03 Hey vav shin yud ayin nun yud.
00:56:08 Ho-she-ay-ni.
00:56:10 "Help me. Save me."
00:56:12 This, in a goy's mouth, Larry.
00:56:21 He calls the goy back
00:56:23 on the pretense of needling additional
00:56:26 "How are you?
00:56:29 "Noticed any other
00:56:32 "No."
00:56:41 There it is.
00:56:43 Ho-she-ay-ni.
00:56:44 "Help me." '
00:56:46 Son of a gun.
00:56:50 Sussman goes home.
00:56:52 Can Sussman eat?
00:56:55 Can Sussman sleep?
00:57:03 Sussman looks at the molds
00:57:06 goy and Jew alike,
00:57:07 seeking other messages.
00:57:10 He looks In his own mouth.
00:57:12 Nothing.
00:57:14 He looks
00:57:21 Nothing.
00:57:23 But Sussman
00:57:26 Not the world's
00:57:27 No Rabbi Marshak.
00:57:29 But he knows a thing or two
00:57:32 He knows that every Hebrew
00:57:35 8- 4-5-4-4-7-3
00:57:38 Seven digits.
00:57:42 "Hello? Do you know a goy
00:57:46 "Who?"
00:57:47 "Where have I called?
00:57:49 "The Red Owl in Bloomington?
00:57:56 He goes.
00:58:00 It's a Red Owl
00:58:05 Sussman goes home
00:58:09 He has to find out if he
00:58:12 He goes to see
00:58:15 the Rabbi Nachtner.
00:58:16 He comes In, he sits right
00:58:20 "What does it mean, Rabbi?
00:58:22 "Is it a sign from Hashem? 'Help me'.
00:58:25 "I, Sussman, should be doing
00:58:27 "Doing what?
00:58:29 "Or maybe I'm supposed to help people
00:58:34 "Is the answer
00:58:37 "Or is there even a question?
00:58:40 "Tell me, Rabbi,
00:58:44 mean?"
00:58:53 So? What did
00:58:55 Sussman?
00:58:56 Yes.
00:58:58 Is it relevant?
00:59:00 Well, isn't that why
00:59:02 Okay.
00:59:04 Nachtner says, "Look.
00:59:06 "The teeth, we don't know
00:59:08 "A sign from Hashem?
00:59:10 "Helping others?
00:59:13 "Couldn't hurt."
00:59:17 No, no,
00:59:20 Was it for him, Sussman? Or for whoever
00:59:24 We can't know everything.
00:59:25 It sounds like you don't know anything!
00:59:27 Why even tell me the story?
00:59:29 First I should
00:59:34 What happened to Sussman?
00:59:36 What would happen?
00:59:38 He went back to work.
00:59:39 For a while, he checked every
00:59:42 He didn’t find any.
00:59:43 In time, he found
00:59:47 He returned to life.
00:59:53 These questions that are
00:59:56 maybe they're
00:59:59 Feel them for a while,
01:00:02 I don't want it to just
01:00:05 Sure We all
01:00:07 Hashem doesn't owe us
01:00:10 Hashem doesn't
01:00:11 The obligation
01:00:14 Why does he make us
01:00:16 if he's not going to
01:00:21 He hasn't told me.
01:00:27 And what happened
01:00:30 The goy?
01:00:33 Who cares?
01:00:34 Sy Ableman
01:00:39 Sy Ableman was a man
01:00:43 To Torah study To his
01:00:47 until three years ago
01:00:50 and to his duty,
01:00:54 Where does such a man go?
01:00:57 A tzadik. Who knows,
01:01:01 A man beloved by all.
01:01:03 A man who despised
01:01:05 Could such
01:01:10 disappear?
01:01:12 We speak of olam ha-ba,
01:01:16 Not heaven.
01:01:18 Not what the gentiles
01:01:20 "Olam ha-ba."
01:01:25 Where is olam ha-ba?
01:01:30 Well, it is not a
01:01:34 Like Canada.
01:01:37 Nor is it the
01:01:40 the land flowing
01:01:42 For we are not promised
01:01:45 A gold star.
01:01:48 A first-class VIP lounge where we
01:01:53 Olam ha-ba is
01:02:01 Arthur Gopnik?
01:02:04 Are you
01:02:07 I'm Lawrence Gopnik.
01:02:09 Do you go by the name
01:02:11 No.
01:02:12 Is that Arthur Gopnik?
01:02:17 Can you tell me what's going
01:02:20 You're what?
01:02:22 A religious observance.
01:02:24 We're bereaved.
01:02:26 Who died?
01:02:27 My wife's, uh...
01:02:31 It's a long story.
01:02:32 Look, you tell Gopnik, Arthur
01:02:36 We're not arresting him
01:02:38 Gambling's against the law in this
01:02:41 All right.
01:02:45 Sorry, sir.
01:02:48 Dad, we get channel four
01:02:52 Arthur, how could you
01:02:55 - On Sy's... - It's hardly a crime,
01:02:58 That doesn't
01:02:59 He won
01:03:01 The Mentaculus
01:03:04 You knew about it?
01:03:07 - Well...
01:03:09 They knew I could
01:03:10 so they blackballed me
01:03:12 What did you do with the money you won?
01:03:17 What's going on?
01:03:19 Well, I didn't want it, and
01:03:21 That is so unfair!
01:03:22 - What are you...
01:03:23 What's unfair is them not letting
01:03:25 Why give him the money? You
01:03:27 I know about
01:03:28 Records? Do you think he
01:03:30 At least I'm not saving
01:03:32 - What a brat!
01:03:33 Nobody in this house is getting
01:03:37 Danny! You're not excused!
01:03:39 We're still talking!
01:03:40 What was this
01:03:42 Some goys put together
01:03:44 I think that
01:03:45 Danny!
01:03:47 Danny? We're
01:03:58 Well, she has retained Barney
01:04:05 This is a...
01:04:07 - This is an aggressive firm, Larry.
01:04:11 These are not
01:04:14 Judith is free to
01:04:18 I take it
01:04:22 It's hard. I think she
01:04:26 Mmm.
01:04:27 - I tried to ask her about it,
01:04:31 Yeah, you need to open a new
01:04:36 Put your paychecks in
01:04:38 - Can I?
01:04:40 It's not dishonest?
01:04:42 Oh, absolutely.
01:04:43 - You...
01:04:45 but I think she's also been
01:04:49 Oh, boy Oh, boy.
01:04:51 Yeah, well, this is
01:05:00 Larry? Are you
01:05:02 Hey, come on now! Larry!
01:05:06 Larry, Larry, we...
01:05:08 We're going to
01:05:15 Have you talked
01:05:22 I talked to Nachtner.
01:05:25 Was he helpful
01:05:30 What, did he tell you
01:05:34 You should try to
01:05:36 They told me he doesn't
01:05:39 He just...
01:05:42 ...congratulates the
01:05:45 Well, that's too bad.
01:05:46 He's a very wise man,
01:05:50 Getting old.
01:05:52 Very old.
01:05:54 No, me.
01:05:58 - Uh, Dick Dutton. Columbia Record Club.
01:06:01 Does he ever
01:06:06 If I came in, could...
01:06:11 Well, how about at Rabbi
01:06:15 Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
01:06:17 Well, could I give you
01:06:20 X squared,
01:06:23 the square root of
01:06:26 from which we derive the
01:06:29 And also, the uncertainty
01:06:30 in P is equal to the square
01:06:34 minus bracket P squared,
01:06:36 which also equals the square
01:06:39 Which lets us
01:06:41 equals the square root
01:06:45 H over A squared,
01:06:50 Okay?
01:06:52 The Uncertainty Principle.
01:06:54 It proves we can't
01:06:57 what's going on.
01:07:03 But even though you can't
01:07:06 you will be responsible
01:07:13 - Did you follow that?
01:07:16 Except that I know
01:07:19 How do you explain?
01:07:20 Well, it might be that in,
01:07:24 Excuse me, not the point.
01:07:28 Now I'll concede that
01:07:32 But at the end of the day,
01:07:35 Well, yes,
01:07:37 It's a proof.
01:07:39 No, excuse me. Mathematics
01:07:44 I don't think so.
01:07:46 The art of the
01:07:49 I can't remember.
01:07:51 I'm a serious man, Larry.
01:07:52 - I know that So, if I've got it wrong,
01:07:57 See Marshak.
01:07:59 I know! I want to see
01:08:03 I fucked your wife, Larry!
01:08:05 I seriously fucked her!
01:08:08 See Marshak!
01:08:42 Mr Gopnik.
01:08:43 Hello, Mrs Samsky.
01:08:46 I was going to knock, and then
01:08:49 I thought
01:08:51 Can I help you?
01:08:53 - No, I...
01:08:55 Oh. Okay.
01:08:59 I've noticed that Mr Samsky
01:09:07 - He travels.
01:09:09 So I thought I should let you know,
01:09:12 if you ever have, whatever,
01:09:17 Or just help with something I've decided
01:09:24 - How thoughtful.
01:09:26 It's just good to know
01:09:29 Help others.
01:09:31 Although I don't care much for my
01:09:36 - Goys, aren't they?
01:09:39 Although maybe it's not fair
01:09:42 Won't you sit down?
01:09:43 Oh, um...
01:09:46 - Iced tea? I have some.
01:09:53 I don't see you
01:09:56 Yes, actually I haven't been
01:10:01 My wife and I are...
01:10:04 Well, she's got me staying at the Jolly
01:10:10 You're in the
01:10:12 Yes. That's an understatement,
01:10:16 I guess I...
01:10:19 Do you take advantage
01:10:28 What do you mean?
01:10:38 It's something I do.
01:10:41 For recreation.
01:10:44 That's
01:10:47 ...marijuana?
01:10:51 You'll find you'll
01:10:58 Is it...
01:11:02 Well, okay.
01:11:24 Maybe Rabbi Scott was right.
01:11:28 Who's Rabbi Scott?
01:11:32 The junior rabbi.
01:11:36 The junior rabbi.
01:11:51 What did he say?
01:11:53 He spoke of
01:11:56 perception.
01:12:00 All my problems
