:29:01
Look at this!
Look what it says in the paper!

:29:05
- Look.
- What's the matter, Avram?

:29:08
Sha! Quiet!
:29:10
Stop braying like a pack of mules,
and let a man talk. Talk, Avram.

:29:15
My paper came to the post office
today like it does every week.

:29:19
Usually it comes Thursday,
but sometimes...

:29:22
Avram, that's not talking.
That's babbling.

:29:26
- Tell us the news.
- What does it say?

:29:28
Quiet!
Talk, Avram.

:29:31
Well, I was reading my paper.
:29:34
It's nothing very important... a story
about the crops in the Ukraine...

:29:37
and this and that.
:29:39
Avram, talk.
:29:43
And then, I saw this.
:29:48
All right. We all see it.
:29:53
What does it say?
:29:58
"In a village called Rajanka...
:30:01
all the Jews were evicted...
:30:03
forced to leave their homes. "
:30:07
For what reason?
:30:10
It doesn't say. Maybe the czar
wanted their land. Maybe a plague.

:30:14
May the czar have
his own personal plague!

:30:16
Amen!
:30:18
Why don't you ever bring us
some good news?

:30:21
It's not my fault.
I only read it.

:30:25
"An edict from the authorities. "
:30:27
May the authorities
grow like onions...

:30:29
with their heads in the ground.
:30:32
What good will your cursing do?
:30:36
You stand around, curse and chatter,
and you don't do anything.

:30:41
You'll all chatter your way
into the grave.

:30:43
Excuse me.
You're not from this village.

:30:48
Where are you from?
:30:49
Kiev.
:30:51
I studied at the university.
:30:53
The university.
:30:55
Tell me, is that a place
where you learned...

:30:58
how not to respect your elders?
