EXT. NEAR THE TENT – DAY
Lydia and Yechiel sit relaxed and drink coffee from the thermos brought by Lydia.
LYDIA
Please, come home with me? You live here in deplorable conditions, you Live on the few reserves you have left and you eat canned food.
YECHIEL
I just can’t.
There is silence between them.
INT. IN A FAR CORNER OF THE KNESSET CAFETERIA – DAY
The new prime minister approached the interior minister who was sitting with his young parliamentary assistant Reuven. They are eating.
THE NEW PRIME MINISTER
Can I join you for a moment?
He does not wait for approval but takes a chair from an empty table nearby and sits down next to them.
MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR (ORTHODOX)
Please, please.
THE NEW PRIME MINISTER
What did I hear about you? that you are budgeting for the institute again? Were you emphatically against it?
Reuven takes the lead in the conversation.
REUVEN
The rabbis reconsidered and decided to support in the activity of the institute.
The interior minister is in a hurry to justify himself.
MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR
Yes, but all this without taking an extra penny from the budget, all expenses related to the institute will be offset from the well known budgets of the ultra-orthodox ministries.
