Tropicana (2024) Movie Script
1
You don't have clothes at home, Ilana?
You're stealing a dead woman's clothes?
I prefer to not answer that.
You're very polite.
How's the leg?
Does it hurt?
I don't feel a thing.
We'll go see a doctor.
He'll cut my legs off,
that's what doctors do.
I take care of myself.
All my savings, all that I have,
I spent on cemetery plots.
What cemetery plots?
It is 3,000 for a good plot,
1,500 for the stacks.
I saved the best plots for us.
I'm here,
you're next to me,
and your fatso's next to you.
He doesn't care for me anyway.
He starves me here, that son of yours.
Watch out,
he'll do it to you, too.
I'll tell him.
Telling him won't help.
He never moves from that TV.
He thinks I can't hear it.
I'll talk to him.
Talk to him.
Tell him to stop masturbating,
and get my food out on time.
And take that TV out of his room.
Tell him I bought him a good plot,
and that nothing in life is free.
I'm telling you, because
if you don't teach him, he'll never learn.
I didn't get one for your husband.
He lives here at my expense as it is.
He won't see a dime out of me.
That's it.
Now, put my movie on
and take me to bed.
Wait, mom.
Wait, hold on.
Good.
Ok.
I can't...
Everything is fine.
There, there.
Sit down, mom,
sit and I'll put your pants on.
I can't take it anymore.
Easy, mom. Easy.
I'm holding.
-Good.
Stop it, stop.
While I was at home on furlough,
I took computer classes
through Social Security.
I know everything.
I know Word,
I know Excel,
which is good for the tables here,
and there's a lot of work
with tables at the main register.
There's also PowerPoint,
I could make you a proper presentation.
I speak English better than anyone here.
I understand it. I don't write
so well, but I can understand.
I could answer a question,
if tourists came by here in the desert.
I have all the necessary skills
to work the main register.
If...
you considered offering the job to...
a certain person, I don't
want to mention any names.
Did you know she's a Gemini?
Since her divorce,
the women here can't stand her.
They think she's...
after their husbands.
How do you clean?
She used to clean the office for me.
Here.
Her things.
Sort them out, okay?
Throw out anything that's useless.
Go see Bertie.
She'll get you a new name tag.
Orly B.
Head Cashier
Hello?
Hello?
God bless you, Orly.
You too, Sarah.
I got the head cashier job.
Not Ilana?
-No, I got it.
Why do you need it?
It's better, no?
At my job, I used to be
a regular employee,
after many years,
something like 20 years,
there was an opening.
I begged them for the position.
Did you get it?
Operations manager.
How it was?
-It was a nightmare.
It makes no difference.
You're providing a service.
There's no such thing as a manager.
Either way, you're providing a service.
Instead of customers, to employees.
I think it's best to not make
things too hard on yourself.
I know there isn't much you can do,
but the noise Nissim makes
bothers my mother.
She can't sleep.
You think I can?
She says she'll call the housing department.
She can.
No one answers anyway.
Take your time, honey.
You're itching to
get cancer, aren't you?
Night, Sarah.
Here.
I'll make myself another one.
God bless you, Sarah.
Got anything for sleeping?
God bless you, Orly.
Thank you.
How did he give it to you?
Who gave me what?
The cashier job.
Sami. How did he give it to you?
I went into his office and said...
-"Went into his office and said..."
That he should let me...
-"That he should let me..."
Yes.
Did you go down on him?
Did you suck his cock?
Don't be ridiculous.
Answer me.
Sami,
that bastard, did he touch you?
I went into his office and said...
-Get out.
I like watching my movie by myself.
Have you eaten?
I waited for you here.
Do you want to come to the kitchen,
have dinner with me and dad?
I prefer staying in bed.
What are you watching?
A movie.
Is she coming?
-Over there.
Thank you.
I don't have cash or a credit card...
-He didn't bring any money...
and I'd like you to put it on my bill.
On his bill...?
-Is that alright, madam manager?
Can I do that?
-Just this once.
Just this once. Yes.
-Okay?
Yes.
-I know him.
You know him?
Ok.
I'll pay.
-Alright
Thank you.
-Youre welcome.
If the manager says it's okay...
-Go ahead.
Then it's okay.
Thank you.
Don't worry, I won't run off with it.
Well, it's not my store.
Have a nice day.
-Thank you.
Hello?
I'm a bit early.
I'm here, out back.
Hello, Sigal.
To continue to your
destination, tap "continue".
Start your trip.
Estimated time to arrival: 53 minutes.
There you go.
-Thanks.
How are things at the store?
I got a new position.
Congratulations.
Take your time.
Will you stay for the ceremony?
We hold one every few hours.
I don't think so, I have to go.
Why?
My mother.
It's late.
I insist.
It'll give you strength.
She's very old.
What does she do
when you're not there?
She watches her movie.
What movie?
I don't know.
Can I have a look?
Nice.
One of the fancy ones.
I'll be right back.
Would you like anything to drink?
What are you having?
-Instant coffee.
Just the charger, thank you.
Give it.
Drink your coffee.
Are you hungry?
My shift's in an hour.
I have company!
Are you dense or what?
Shut up!
Is that a burner phone for sex?
It's my work phone.
Here you go.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
Would you like me
to put on some music?
What kind of music do you like?
Whatever you like.
Here you go.
-Thank you.
Could I have a glass of water?
Coke or water?
Water, thanks.
I'll get it...
-Sure.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Don't run off hungry like that.
Come.
Sit with me for a bit.
You slept so deeply.
You snore a bit.
Did you have a nice time?
Will you visit again?
What's the rush?
If you don't mind me asking.
I have work.
What does a pretty woman
like you do for a living?
Service worker at the Supermarket.
Nice.
Drink.
