The CEO appears briefly flustered, adjusts his tie, clears his throat, and then composes himself.
CEO (defensively and somberly)
Cut & Paste has contributed significantly to Israeli society, the Israeli reputation, and the national income for many years. Our company has also significantly contributed to the reputation, public activities, and funding for various social projects. There's no room for complaints. All our modest requests from the Finance Ministry have fallen on deaf ears.
EXT. DAY. BEACH IN TEL AVIV.
THE PROPHET (ending with reprimand)
Each of you should take account of your soul!
The prophet finishes speaking, and a loud noise of clapping and enthusiastic cheers fills the beach. The prophet hands the megaphone to one of the lifeguards on the shore and then leaps from the overturned boat to the beach. Piles of dead birds are scattered around the boat on which the prophet stood. The Tel Aviv beach is deserted, with no bathers, and the water is filled with raging waves and white foam. The prophet continues on his way, his ears buzzing from the excited chatter and shouts of the hundreds of people. A path opens in the crowd, and the prophet walks through. More people approach him, one of them hugging him fervently and excitedly, but Yoram gently pulls away. Hidden hands push money bills into his untucked shirt and loose pants until they burst.
