Despite your efforts to bring results, and you bring, but up there, they are disappointed with the results. I know that you make an effort and perform many tests, but beyond knowing how the person died, it gives us nothing. The expenses so far for the establishment of the institute are enormous.
HELEN
We tear our souls to document the cups, you probably don’t know what mental efforts it costs us.
NAVEH
I know the efforts you are making, but we have not achieved a breakthrough that would justify the costs of establishing and maintaining the institute.
YECHIEL
We have documented several thousand cups so far. Don’t forget that we do a test of the three of us on every cup to verify the data. We are as frustrated as you.
Sarah wipes her nose with a paper handkerchief that she takes from the table in a bag of handkerchiefs. She appears to have a nose that’s constantly running.
SARAH
The air conditioning in the institute is brutal. I wear sweaters all the time, and all the time my nose is running.
NAVEH
Anyway, you know, we need a breakthrough, if we don’t want this whole massive project to be trashed.
INT. IN THE LAB – MORNING
Yechiel sits in the lab, Sarah enters.
YECHIEL
Good Morning. Both of you went to bed very late, because it’s already almost noon.
