Act out from English.

1 Ok… so now can I open a current

account?

0 Yes, of course.
0 A telephone ring is heard.
4 Just a minute, Daniel. Hello?
5 Hello?! This is David Cohen speaking. I don’t understand what’s going on in this

bank! All my checks bounce!

6 Really? Which checks?
7 A check for 20,000 shekels, a check for 30,000 shekels, a check for 50,000 shekels…
8 Mr. Cohen?
9 Yes?
13 You only have 5,000 shekels in (your) account. That’s why all your checks bounce.
11 I don’t understand! I’ve been in this bank for 30 years! Can’t you help me a little?
10 I don’t think we can help. Excuse me.
10 No? Ok, I want to move banks. Today. Right now. This instant!!!
14 Just a minute, Mr. Cohen. The manager will speak with you, all right?
15 Excuse me, Daniel. It’s like this in Israel… Everyone thinks the bank belongs to them [is

theirs].

16 That’s ok. I want to open a current account.
17 Ok… are you in debit?

18 No, I’m not in debit [I’m in credit]. I have 20,000 shekels.
19 Excellent. Do you want a credit card? Checks?
20 I want a credit card, and I don’t want checks. I don’t need checks right now.

21 Well, we have an attractive account for soldiers: The commissions are very low.
You don’t pay interest for overdraft and receive interest for credit. Ok?

22 Terrific.
