Shira: Yes?
Daniel: Do you maybe know where there’s a service taxi to Jerusalem?

Shira: Yeah, sure! You walk down, and then left, and then right, and then…
Daniel: One minute, take it easy!
Shira: I’m sorry, am I speaking quickly?
Daniel: Yes, but it's OK. All Israelis speak quickly.

Shira: I’m sorry. I should speak slowly. The taxies for Jerusalem are… One
minute, I need a service taxi for Jerusalem too. Maybe you’d like to walk
with me?

Daniel: Yes, thank you!
Shira: Cool, come on.

Shira: One minute, and where’s all your family? What, you’re making aliyah on
your own?

to make aliyah. They want to stay in New York.

Shira: Really? And why are you making aliyah to Israel?
Daniel: Oh boy, here it comes…
Shira: What?

Daniel: The Question. The million-dollar question – Why are you making aliyah?
Everybody asks why.

Daniel: It’s fine! It’s an excellent question. You know what? I’ll tell you why I’m
making aliyah, and you tell me what your name is.

Shira: Oh, I’m sorry! My name is Shira.
Daniel: And I’m Daniel. Nice to meet you.
Shira: Nice to meet you. Daniel, here’s our taxi!
Daniel: Come quickly!
