Larry Gopnik: We had, I think, a good talk, the other day, but you left something... Clive Park: I didn't leave it. Larry Gopnik: Well, you don't even know what I was gonna say. Clive Park: I didn't leave anything. I'm not missing anything. I know where everything is. Larry Gopnik: Well... then, Clive, where did this come from? Larry Gopnik: This is here, isn't it? Clive Park: Yes, sir. That is there. Larry Gopnik: This is not nothing; this is something. Clive Park: Yes. That is something. Clive Park: What is it? Larry Gopnik: You know what it is! I believe. And you know I can't keep it, Clive. Clive Park: Yes sir. Larry Gopnik: I'll have to pass it on to Professor Finkle, along with my suspicions about where it came from. Actions have consequences. Clive Park: Yes sir. Often. Larry Gopnik: No, always! Actions always have consequences! In this office, actions have consequences! Clive Park: Yes sir. Larry Gopnik: Not just physics, morally. Clive Park: Yes. Larry Gopnik: And we both know about your actions. Clive Park: No sir. I know about my actions. Larry Gopnik: I can interpret, Clive. I know what you meant me to understand. Clive Park: Meer sir my sir. Larry Gopnik: Meer sir my sir? Clive Park: Mere... surmise. Sir. Very uncertain.
Rabbi Scott: No, of course not. I am the junior rabbi. And it's true, the point-of-view of somebody who's older and perhaps had similar problems might be more valid. And you should see the senior rabbi as well, by all means. Or even Minda if you can get in, he's quite busy. But maybe - can I share something with you? Because I too have had the feeling of losing track of Hashem, which is the problem here. I too have forgotten how to see Him in the world. And when that happens you think, well, if I can't see Him, He isn't there any more, He's gone. But that's not the case. You just need to remember how to see Him. Am I right? Rabbi Scott: I mean, the parking lot here. Not much to see. It is a different angle on the same parking lot we saw from the Hebrew school window. But if you imagine yourself a visitor, somebody who isn't familiar with these... autos and such... somebody still with a capacity for wonder... Someone with a fresh... perspective. That's what it is, Larry. Larry Gopnik: Um... Rabbi Scott: Because with the right perspective you can see Hashem, you know, reaching into the world. He is in the world, not just in shul. It sounds to me like you're looking at the world, looking at your wife, through tired eyes. It sounds like she's become a sort of... thing... a problem... a thing... Larry Gopnik: Well, she's, she's seeing Sy Ableman. Rabbi Scott: Oh. Larry Gopnik: She's, they're planning, that's why they want the Gett. Rabbi Scott: Oh. I'm sorry. Larry Gopnik: It was his idea. Rabbi Scott: Well, they do need a Gett to remarry in the faith. But this is life. For you too. You can't cut yourself off from the mystical or you'll be-you'll remain-completely lost. You have to see these things as expressions of God's will. You don't have to like it, of course. Larry Gopnik: The boss isn't always right, but he's always the boss. Rabbi Scott: Ha-ha-ha! That's right, things aren't so bad. Look at the parking lot, Larry. Rabbi Scott: Just look at that parking lot.
Larry Gopnik: So, uh, what can I do for you? Clive Park: Uh, Dr. Gopnik, I believe the results of physics mid-term were unjust. Larry Gopnik: Uh-huh, how so? Clive Park: I received an unsatisfactory grade. In fact: F, the failing grade. Larry Gopnik: Uh, yes. You failed the mid-term. That's accurate. Clive Park: Yes, but this is not just. I was unaware to be examined on the mathematics. Larry Gopnik: Well, you can't do physics without mathematics, really, can you? Clive Park: If I receive failing grade I lose my scholarship, and feel shame. I understand the physics. I understand the dead cat. Larry Gopnik: You understand the dead cat? But... you... you can't really understand the physics without understanding the math. The math tells how it really works. That's the real thing; the stories I give you in class are just illustrative; they're like, fables, say, to help give you a picture. An imperfect model. I mean - even I don't understand the dead cat. The math is how it really works. Clive Park: Very difficult... very difficult... Larry Gopnik: Well, I... I'm sorry, but I... what do you propose? Clive Park: Passing grade. Larry Gopnik: No no, I... Clive Park: Or perhaps I can take the mid-term again. Now I know it covers mathematics. Larry Gopnik: Well, the other students wouldn't like that, would they, if one student gets to retake the test till he gets a grade he likes? Clive Park: Secret test. Larry Gopnik: No, I'm afraid... Clive Park: Hush-hush. Larry Gopnik: No, that's just not workable. I'm afraid we'll just have to bite the bullet on this thing, Clive, and... Clive Park: Very troubling... very troubling...
Larry Gopnik: There's some mistake. I'm not a member of the Columbian Record Club. Dick Dutton: Sir, you are Lawrence Gopnik of 8419 Fern Hill Road? Larry Gopnik: No, I live at the Jolly Roger.
Larry Gopnik: She seems to be asking an awful lot. But then, I don't know. Somebody has to pay for Sy's funeral. Rabbi Nachtner: Uh-huh. Larry Gopnik: His own estate is in probate, but why does it have to be me? Or is it wrong to complain? Judy says it is. But I'm so strapped for cash right now, carrying the mortgage, and paying for the Jolly Roger, and I wrecked the car, and Danny's Bar Mitzvah coming up, I... Rabbi Nachtner: Something like this... there's never a good time. Larry Gopnik: I don't know where it all leaves me, Sy's death. Obviously it's not gonna go back like it was. Rabbi Nachtner: Mm. Would you even want that, Larry? Larry Gopnik: No, I- well, yeah... sometimes... or... I don't know; I guess the honest answer is "I don't know". What was my life before? Not what I thought it was. What does it all mean? What is Hashem trying to tell me, making me pay for Sy Ableman's funeral? Rabbi Nachtner: Mm. Larry Gopnik: And did I tell you I had a car accident the same time Sy had his? The same instant, for all I know. I mean, is Hashem telling me that Sy Ableman is me? Or that we are all one, or something? Rabbi Nachtner: How does God speak to us? A good question.
Sy Ableman: Do you drink wine? Because this is an incredible bottle. This is not Mogen David. This is a - heh heh - a wine, Larry. A Bordeaux. Larry Gopnik: You know, Sy... Sy Ableman: Open it. Let it breathe. Ten minutes. Letting it breathe, so important. Larry Gopnik: Thanks, Sy, but I'm not... Sy Ableman: I insist! No reason for discomfort. I'll be uncomfortable if you don't take it. These are signs and tokens, Larry. Larry Gopnik: I'm just-I'm not ungrateful, I'm, I just don't know a lot about wine and, given our respective, you know... Sy Ableman: S'okay. S'okay. We're gonna be fine.
Dybbuk?: I shaved hastily this morning and missed a bit-by you this makes me a dybbuk? It's true, I was sick with typhus when I stayed with Peselle, but I recovered, as you can plainly see, and now I-hugh! Dybbuk?: What a wife you have! Shtetl Husband: Woman, what have you done? Dybbuk?: Why would she do such a thing? I ask you, Velvel, as a rational man: which of us is possessed? Shtetl Wife: What do you say now about spirits? He is unharmed! Dybbuk?: On the contrary! I don't feel at all well. Dybbuk?: One does a mitzvah and this is the thanks one gets? Shtetl Husband: Dora! Woe, woe! How can such a thing be! Dybbuk?: Perhaps I will have some soup. I am feeling weak. Or perhaps I should go. One knows when one isn't wanted. Shtetl Husband: Dear wife. We are ruined. Tomorrow they will discover the body. All is lost. Shtetl Wife: Nonsense, Velvel. Blessed is the Lord. Good riddance to evil.
Judith Gopnik: Look, I didn't know any other way of breaking it to you. Except to tell you. And treat you like an adult. Is that so wrong? Larry Gopnik: Where do I sleep? Judith Gopnik: What? Larry Gopnik: Arthur's on the couch! Judith Gopnik: Look. Sy feels that we should... Larry Gopnik: Esther is barely cold! Judith Gopnik: Esther died three years ago. And it was a loveless marriage. Sy wants a get. Larry Gopnik: A what? Judith Gopnik: A ritual divorce. He says it's very important. Without a get I'm an agunah. Larry Gopnik: A what? What are you talking about? Judith Gopnik: You always act so surprised. I have begged you to see the Rabbi.
Judith Gopnik: We shouldn't put the kids in the middle of this, Larry. Larry Gopnik: The kids aren't... Judith Gopnik: I'm saying "we." I'm not pointing fingers. Larry Gopnik: No one is playing the "blame game," Larry. Larry Gopnik: I didn't say anyone was! Judith Gopnik: Well let's not play He said, She said, either. Larry Gopnik: I wasn't! I-... Sy Ableman: Aw right, well let's just step back, and defuse the situation, I find, sometimes, if I count to ten. Sy Ableman: One... two... three... faw... Or silently. Judith Gopnik: Really, to keep things on an even keel, especially now, leading up to Danny's bar mitzvah... Sy Ableman: A child's bar mitzvah, Larry! Judith Gopnik: Sy and I think it's best if you move out of the house. Larry Gopnik: Move out? Sy Ableman: It makes eminent sense. Judith Gopnik: Things can't continue as they... Larry Gopnik: Move out! Where would I go? Sy Ableman: Well, for instance, the Jolly Roger is quite livable. Not expensive, and the rooms are eminently habitable. Judith Gopnik: This would allow you to visit the kids. Sy Ableman: There's convenience in its fava. There's a pool... Larry Gopnik: Wouldn't it make more sense for you to move in with Sy? Judith Gopnik: Larry! Sy Ableman: Larry, you're jesting! Judith Gopnik: Larry, there is much to accomplish before that can happen. Sy Ableman: Larry, Larry, Larry. I think, really, the Jolly Roger is the appropriate coss of action. It has a pool.
Arlen Finkle: We, uh, we decide on Wednesday, so if there's anything you want to submit in support of your tenure application, we should have it by then. That's all. Larry Gopnik: Submit. What. What do you... Arlen Finkle: Well. Anything. Published work. Anything else you've done outside of the institution. Any work that we might not be aware of. Larry Gopnik: I haven't done anything. Arlen Finkle: Uh-huh. Larry Gopnik: I haven't published. Arlen Finkle: Uh-huh. Larry Gopnik: Are you still getting those letters? Arlen Finkle: Uh-huh. Larry Gopnik: Those anonymous... Arlen Finkle: Yes, I know. Yes. Larry Gopnik: Okay. Okay. Wednesday. Arlen Finkle: Okay. Don't worry. Doing nothing is not bad. Ipso facto.
Judith Gopnik: We shouldn't put the kids in the middle of this. Larry Gopnik: The kids aren't... Judith Gopnik: I'm saying "we". I'm not pointing fingers. Sy Ableman: No one is playing the blame game, Larry. Larry Gopnik: I didn't say anyone was. Judith Gopnik: Well, let's not play "he said, she said", either. Larry Gopnik: I wasn't! I... Sy Ableman: Aw right, well let's just step back, and defuse the situation. I find, sometimes, if I count to ten... Sy Ableman: One... two... three... four... or silently... Judith Gopnik: Really, to keep things on an even keel leading up to Danny's bar mitzvah... Sy Ableman: Child's bar mitzvah, Larry. Judith Gopnik: ...Sy and I think it's best if you move out of the house. Larry Gopnik: ...Move out? Sy Ableman: Well, it makes eminent sense. Judith Gopnik: Things can't continue as they... Larry Gopnik: Move out? Where would I go? Sy Ableman: Well, for instance, the Jolly Roger is quite livable. It's not expensive, the rooms are eminently habitable... Judith Gopnik: This would allow you to visit the kids. Sy Ableman: It has convenience in its favor, they've got a pool... Larry Gopnik: Wouldn't it make more sense for you to move in with Sy? Judith Gopnik: Larry. Sy Ableman: Larry... you, you *are* jesting? I think really, the Jolly Roger is the appropriate course of action.
