TAMAR
For me, he's good enough. I love him like this.
GABI
Never say such things. And you, don't come back here! If I catch you in my house again, I'll call the military police myself, and they'll take you from here. They love defectors. (Short pause) I'm giving you thirty seconds to get away from the house before I call the Shin Bet.
The sound of a phone call interrupts him. Gabi brings the phone to his ear and steps aside.
FLASHBACK
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY
Tamar's mother, devoid of strength, is lying on her deathbed. Tamar sits beside her.
TAMAR'S MOTHER
Sweetie, I won't be here much longer. What matters most to me is that you become independent, trust your own judgment, and do what you want. You know you can't rely on your father. He's always busy with his work.
TAMAR
Yes, Mom.
Tamar's mother turns on her side in bed.
