Igal Naor: Headmaster Avihu

Quotes 

• Headmaster Avihu : Why hasn't he been kicked out? He's failing all his classes.

  Teacher Tzvia : Because he doesn't bother anyone.

• Headmaster Avihu : What are you thinking about?

  Shlomi Bar-Dayan : I'm contemplating.

  Headmaster Avihu : About what?

  Shlomi Bar-Dayan : What to make for lunch.

  Headmaster Avihu : What?

  Shlomi Bar-Dayan : Fish patties or lasagna.

  Headmaster Avihu : [laughing]  Does cooking relax you?

  Shlomi Bar-Dayan : No, but it relaxes the ones who eat.

• Headmaster Avihu : How did this boy reach the age of 16 with the whole world thinking he's semi-retarded?

  Yehoshua Eldad : It's like the joke about the boy and the salt. Everyone thought he was mute till they asked him to pass the salt. You and this teacher of yours finally asked Shlomi to pass the salt, so he did.

  Headmaster Avihu : You ruined the joke. It was the boy who asked for the salt.

  Yehoshua Eldad : [laughing together]  Jokes aren't my thing.

• Headmaster Avihu : [continuing to ask abut Shlomi]  How do you know about him?

  Teacher Tzvia : His big brother was great. He was sick for many years, poor guy, till he had the operation.

  Headmaster Avihu : I heard.

  Teacher Tzvia : Ruhama gave him a kidney, but now he's great. He helps Shlomi so much.

  Headmaster Avihu : But, personally, what's your impression of HIM?

  Teacher Tzvia : Eh, how should I put it... I think he's a little... ehh, you know.

  Headmaster Avihu : What does that mean?

  Teacher Tzvia : Dumb.
