WEBVTT

00:02:14.384 --> 00:02:16.468
A fiddler on the roof.

00:02:16.636 --> 00:02:18.846
Sounds crazy, no?

00:02:23.017 --> 00:02:27.271
But here in our
little village of Anatevka,

00:02:27.438 --> 00:02:29.565
you might say

00:02:29.732 --> 00:02:33.068
every one of us
is a fiddler on the roof,

00:02:34.154 --> 00:02:37.156
trying to scratch out

00:02:37.740 --> 00:02:40.576
a pleasant, simple tune

00:02:40.743 --> 00:02:43.078
without breaking his neck.

00:02:44.998 --> 00:02:46.415
It isn't easy.

00:02:46.583 --> 00:02:50.085
You may ask,
"Why do we stay up there

00:02:50.253 --> 00:02:52.379
"if it's so dangerous?"

00:02:53.923 --> 00:02:56.425
We stay because

00:02:56.593 --> 00:03:00.053
Anatevka is our home.

00:03:01.931 --> 00:03:04.933
And how do we keep our balance?

00:03:05.101 --> 00:03:07.769
That I can tell you in one word.

00:03:08.771 --> 00:03:10.147
Tradition!

00:03:40.053 --> 00:03:42.930
Because of our traditions,

00:03:43.097 --> 00:03:46.975
we've kept our balance
for many, many years.

00:03:52.982 --> 00:03:54.816
Here in Anatevka,

00:03:54.984 --> 00:03:57.611
we have traditions for everything.

00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:01.907
How to sleep, how to eat,

00:04:03.868 --> 00:04:06.328
how to work,

00:04:08.748 --> 00:04:10.499
how to wear clothes.

00:04:12.794 --> 00:04:17.005
For instance,
we always keep our heads covered

00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:21.677
and always wear a little prayer shawl.

00:04:21.844 --> 00:04:25.264
This shows our constant
devotion to God.

00:04:26.933 --> 00:04:28.350
You may ask,

00:04:28.518 --> 00:04:32.020
"How did this tradition get started?"

00:04:32.897 --> 00:04:34.314
I'll tell you.

00:04:35.900 --> 00:04:36.900
I don't know.

00:04:37.068 --> 00:04:38.944
But it's a tradition.

00:04:40.029 --> 00:04:42.406
And because of our traditions,

00:04:43.825 --> 00:04:47.786
every one of us knows who he is

00:04:47.954 --> 00:04:51.707
and what God expects him to do.

00:06:38.648 --> 00:06:42.150
And in the circle of our little village

00:06:42.318 --> 00:06:45.320
we've always had our special types.

00:06:45.488 --> 00:06:47.322
For instance,

00:06:47.490 --> 00:06:49.533
Yente, the matchmaker,

00:06:50.827 --> 00:06:52.786
Reb Nachum, the beggar.

00:06:56.416 --> 00:06:59.376
And, most important of all,

00:06:59.544 --> 00:07:01.420
our beloved rabbi.

00:07:01.671 --> 00:07:03.839
Rabbi, may I ask you a question?

00:07:04.006 --> 00:07:05.340
Certainly, Leybish.

00:07:05.508 --> 00:07:08.844
Is there a proper blessing for the Tsar?

00:07:09.011 --> 00:07:12.472
A blessing for the Tsar? Of course.

00:07:12.640 --> 00:07:16.184
May God bless and keep the Tsar

00:07:16.352 --> 00:07:18.311
far away from us.

00:07:56.893 --> 00:07:59.811
Then there are
the others in our village.

00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.857
They make a much bigger circle.

00:08:07.820 --> 00:08:09.738
We don't bother them,

00:08:09.906 --> 00:08:12.908
and, so far, they don't bother us.

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.455
And among ourselves,

00:08:18.623 --> 00:08:21.708
we always get along perfectly well.

00:08:22.919 --> 00:08:25.003
Of course, there was the time

00:08:25.171 --> 00:08:27.088
when he sold him a horse

00:08:27.256 --> 00:08:29.966
and told him it was only six years old

00:08:30.134 --> 00:08:32.092
when it was really 12.

00:08:32.761 --> 00:08:35.639
But now it's all over,

00:08:35.806 --> 00:08:40.143
and we all live
in simple peace and harmony.

00:08:44.315 --> 00:08:45.774
It was really 12 years old.

00:08:45.942 --> 00:08:47.108
It was six.

00:08:47.276 --> 00:08:48.568
Tevye knows it was 12.

00:08:55.785 --> 00:08:57.994
Twelve!

00:08:58.162 --> 00:09:00.080
It was 12!

00:09:26.357 --> 00:09:28.984
Traditions, traditions.

00:09:29.151 --> 00:09:31.653
Without our traditions,

00:09:31.821 --> 00:09:34.823
our lives would be as shaky as...

00:09:35.533 --> 00:09:36.741
As...

00:09:36.993 --> 00:09:40.495
As a fiddler on the roof.

00:13:24.553 --> 00:13:28.181
Mama, Mama!
Yente, the matchmaker, is coming.

00:13:28.349 --> 00:13:31.059
Maybe she's finally found
a good match for you, Tzeitel.

00:13:31.227 --> 00:13:33.686
From your mouth to God's ears.

00:13:33.854 --> 00:13:36.898
Why does she have to come now?
It's almost Sabbath.

00:13:37.066 --> 00:13:39.567
Out, all of you.
I want to talk to Yente alone.

00:13:39.735 --> 00:13:41.903
But, Mama, the men she finds.

00:13:42.071 --> 00:13:45.490
The last one was so old and he was bald.

00:13:45.908 --> 00:13:47.408
He had no hair.

00:13:48.244 --> 00:13:51.120
A poor girl without a dowry
can't be so particular.

00:13:51.288 --> 00:13:53.122
You want hair, marry a monkey.

00:13:53.290 --> 00:13:56.417
Even a poor girl without a dowry
has to look at her husband sometime.

00:13:56.585 --> 00:13:58.920
A husband is not to look at.
A husband is to get.

00:13:59.088 --> 00:14:00.964
But, Mama, I'm not yet 20 years old.

00:14:01.131 --> 00:14:02.423
I don't think I have...

00:14:02.758 --> 00:14:05.260
Do you have to boast about your age?

00:14:05.594 --> 00:14:06.886
Do you want to tempt the evil eye?

00:14:08.264 --> 00:14:10.431
Out, all of you. There's work to be done
before the Sabbath.

00:14:10.599 --> 00:14:12.267
Hurry. All of you, hurry.

00:14:18.941 --> 00:14:21.776
Golde. Golde.

00:14:21.944 --> 00:14:24.279
I have such news for you.

00:14:24.446 --> 00:14:26.614
And not "every day in the week" news.

00:14:26.782 --> 00:14:29.200
"Once in a lifetime" news.

00:14:30.160 --> 00:14:33.788
Such diamonds, such jewels.

00:14:34.582 --> 00:14:37.709
I'll find a husband
for every one of them,

00:14:37.877 --> 00:14:40.753
but you shouldn't be so picky, right?

00:14:40.921 --> 00:14:43.715
Of course "right," because after all,

00:14:43.883 --> 00:14:46.509
even the worst husband, God forbid,

00:14:46.677 --> 00:14:47.969
is better than no husband,

00:14:48.137 --> 00:14:49.262
God forbid.

00:14:49.430 --> 00:14:51.139
And who should know better than me?

00:14:51.307 --> 00:14:53.808
Ever since my husband died,
I've been a poor widow.

00:14:53.976 --> 00:14:57.312
All alone, no one to talk to,
nothing to say to anyone.

00:14:57.479 --> 00:14:59.772
All I do at night is think of him.

00:14:59.982 --> 00:15:03.818
And even thinking of him
gives me no pleasure.

00:15:09.283 --> 00:15:10.325
Is Tzeitel in the house?

00:15:10.492 --> 00:15:12.285
Why don't you go in and find out?

00:15:12.453 --> 00:15:13.703
Thank you, Bielke.

00:15:20.002 --> 00:15:21.920
He never raised his voice.

00:15:22.755 --> 00:15:25.214
Good afternoon. Is Tzeitel in the house?

00:15:25.382 --> 00:15:27.342
She's busy. Come back later.

00:15:27.509 --> 00:15:29.302
But there's something
I'd like to tell her.

00:15:29.762 --> 00:15:31.304
Later.

00:15:31.472 --> 00:15:32.680
Later?

00:15:32.848 --> 00:15:33.973
All right.

00:15:35.643 --> 00:15:38.686
What does that poor, skinny tailor
want with Tzeitel?

00:15:38.854 --> 00:15:40.271
They have been friends
since they were babies.

00:15:40.439 --> 00:15:41.648
They talk, they play.

00:15:41.815 --> 00:15:44.400
They play. What do they play?

00:15:44.568 --> 00:15:46.152
I don't know. They're children.

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.905
From such children come other children.

00:15:49.073 --> 00:15:51.115
Motel is nothing.

00:15:51.283 --> 00:15:52.533
Yente.

00:15:52.701 --> 00:15:54.744
Yente, you said you had news for me.

00:15:54.912 --> 00:15:56.663
Children, children.

00:15:56.830 --> 00:15:59.374
They are your blessing in your old age.

00:15:59.541 --> 00:16:02.335
But my Aaron, may he rest in peace,

00:16:02.503 --> 00:16:03.962
couldn't give me children.

00:16:04.129 --> 00:16:07.548
To tell you the truth, Golde,
he hardly tried.

00:16:07.716 --> 00:16:09.717
But what's the use complaining?

00:16:09.885 --> 00:16:12.762
Other women enjoy complaining,
not Yente.

00:16:13.764 --> 00:16:16.849
Not every woman in the world is a Yente.

00:16:17.226 --> 00:16:18.726
Well, I...

00:16:18.894 --> 00:16:20.645
I have to go home now

00:16:20.813 --> 00:16:23.064
to prepare my poor Sabbath meal.

00:16:23.232 --> 00:16:25.108
So goodbye, Golde,

00:16:25.275 --> 00:16:29.070
and it was a pleasure
talking our hearts out to each other.

00:16:29.238 --> 00:16:31.572
Yente, you said you had news for me.

00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:33.908
Oy, I'm losing my head.

00:16:34.076 --> 00:16:36.327
Someday it'll fall off altogether,

00:16:36.495 --> 00:16:38.454
and a horse will kick it in the mud,

00:16:38.622 --> 00:16:40.581
and "Goodbye, Yente. "

00:16:40.749 --> 00:16:43.084
Of course, the news.

00:16:44.336 --> 00:16:47.088
It's about Lazar Wolf, the butcher.

00:16:47.256 --> 00:16:48.923
A good man. A fine man.

00:16:49.091 --> 00:16:51.592
And I don't have to tell you
he's well-off, no?

00:16:51.760 --> 00:16:53.052
Yes.

00:16:53.470 --> 00:16:55.680
But he's lonely, the poor man.

00:16:55.848 --> 00:16:58.474
After all,
he's been a widower all these years.

00:16:58.642 --> 00:17:00.143
You understand. Of course you do.

00:17:00.310 --> 00:17:02.061
So, to make it short.

00:17:02.312 --> 00:17:04.271
Out of the whole town,

00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.650
he's cast his eye on Tzeitel.

00:17:08.652 --> 00:17:09.902
My Tzeitel?

00:17:10.069 --> 00:17:12.113
No, the Tsar's Tzeitel.

00:17:12.281 --> 00:17:14.156
Of course your Tzeitel.

00:17:14.616 --> 00:17:17.993
Such a match for my Tzeitel.

00:17:19.747 --> 00:17:23.040
But... But Tevye wants a learned man.

00:17:23.208 --> 00:17:24.625
He doesn't like Lazar.

00:17:24.792 --> 00:17:26.752
Good, so Lazar won't marry him.

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.756
He wants the daughter, not the father.

00:17:29.923 --> 00:17:32.175
Listen. Listen to me, Golde.

00:17:32.342 --> 00:17:33.968
You send Tevye to him.

00:17:34.136 --> 00:17:35.928
Don't tell him what it's about.

00:17:36.096 --> 00:17:38.056
Let Lazar discuss it himself.

00:17:38.223 --> 00:17:39.182
He'll win him over.

00:17:39.349 --> 00:17:41.976
He's a good man and a wealthy man.

00:17:42.144 --> 00:17:44.729
So, you'll let me know how it went.

00:17:44.897 --> 00:17:47.607
And you don't have to thank me, Golde,

00:17:47.775 --> 00:17:49.567
because aside from my fee,

00:17:49.735 --> 00:17:51.819
which Lazar will pay anyway,

00:17:51.987 --> 00:17:53.821
it gives me satisfaction

00:17:53.989 --> 00:17:55.698
to make people happy.

00:17:55.866 --> 00:17:59.035
True? Of course, "true. "

00:17:59.369 --> 00:18:03.289
So goodbye, Golde, and you're welcome.

00:18:04.124 --> 00:18:05.208
Goodbye, Yente.

00:18:07.002 --> 00:18:09.754
Come, come, children,
get changed for the Sabbath.

00:18:09.922 --> 00:18:12.006
Hurry. Hurry with your work.

00:18:12.174 --> 00:18:14.634
I wonder if Yente
found a husband for you.

00:18:14.802 --> 00:18:17.637
I'm not anxious for Yente
to find me a husband.

00:18:17.805 --> 00:18:19.388
Not unless it's Motel, the tailor.

00:18:19.556 --> 00:18:20.515
I didn't ask you.

00:18:20.682 --> 00:18:22.141
Tzeitel, you're the oldest.

00:18:22.309 --> 00:18:23.559
They have to make a match for you

00:18:23.727 --> 00:18:25.353
before they can make one for me.

00:18:25.521 --> 00:18:26.771
And then after her, one for me.

00:18:26.939 --> 00:18:30.066
- So if Yente...
- Yente, Yente, Yente.

00:18:30.651 --> 00:18:32.610
Well, somebody has to arrange
the matches.

00:18:32.778 --> 00:18:34.529
Well, she might
bring someone wonderful.

00:18:34.696 --> 00:18:35.696
Someone interesting.

00:18:35.864 --> 00:18:37.740
- And well-off.
- And important.

00:19:49.855 --> 00:19:52.106
Since when are you interested
in a match, Chava?

00:19:52.274 --> 00:19:54.984
I thought you just had
your eye on your books.

00:19:55.152 --> 00:19:57.612
And you have your eye
on the rabbi's son.

00:19:57.779 --> 00:19:58.863
Well, why not?

00:19:59.031 --> 00:20:01.449
We only have one rabbi.

00:20:01.617 --> 00:20:03.910
And he only has one son.

00:20:04.536 --> 00:20:06.287
Why shouldn't I want the best?

00:20:06.455 --> 00:20:08.956
Because you're a girl
from a poor family,

00:20:09.124 --> 00:20:11.042
so whatever Yente brings, you'll take.

00:20:11.210 --> 00:20:13.878
Right? Of course, "right. "

00:22:29.473 --> 00:22:31.432
Dear God,

00:22:31.767 --> 00:22:33.934
was that necessary?

00:22:35.645 --> 00:22:37.271
Did you have to make him lame

00:22:37.439 --> 00:22:39.315
just before the Sabbath?

00:22:40.984 --> 00:22:43.361
That wasn't nice.

00:22:43.945 --> 00:22:45.404
It's enough you pick on me,

00:22:45.572 --> 00:22:47.448
bless me with five daughters,

00:22:47.616 --> 00:22:49.950
a life of poverty. That's all right,

00:22:50.118 --> 00:22:52.828
but what have you
got against my horse?

00:22:54.164 --> 00:22:55.373
Really,

00:22:55.540 --> 00:22:57.083
sometimes I think

00:22:57.501 --> 00:22:59.835
when things are too quiet up there,

00:23:00.462 --> 00:23:02.630
you say to yourself,

00:23:02.798 --> 00:23:05.466
"Let's see. What kind of mischief

00:23:05.634 --> 00:23:07.885
"can I play on my friend Tevye?"

00:23:13.934 --> 00:23:16.894
So you're finally here, my breadwinner.

00:23:17.062 --> 00:23:18.896
I'll talk to you later.

00:23:19.064 --> 00:23:20.481
So why are you late today?

00:23:20.649 --> 00:23:22.358
His foot went lame.

00:23:22.526 --> 00:23:24.902
Well, hurry up. The sun won't wait.

00:23:25.070 --> 00:23:27.113
And I have something
important to say to you.

00:23:27.280 --> 00:23:29.240
I still have some deliveries
in the village.

00:23:29.408 --> 00:23:30.825
You'll be late for the Sabbath.

00:23:30.992 --> 00:23:32.368
I won't be late.

00:23:32.536 --> 00:23:33.911
You'll be late.

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:35.704
I won't be late.

00:23:35.872 --> 00:23:37.665
I won't be late!

00:23:37.874 --> 00:23:40.709
If you ever stop talking,
I won't be late!

00:23:40.877 --> 00:23:42.420
You can die from such a man.

00:23:42.587 --> 00:23:44.755
As the Good Book says,

00:23:44.923 --> 00:23:47.925
"Heal us, O Lord,
and we shall be healed. "

00:23:49.302 --> 00:23:50.511
In other words,

00:23:50.679 --> 00:23:52.179
send us the cure.

00:23:52.764 --> 00:23:54.682
We've got the sickness already.

00:24:04.693 --> 00:24:07.695
Well, I'm not really complaining.

00:24:08.905 --> 00:24:10.865
After all, with your help,

00:24:13.827 --> 00:24:16.078
I'm starving to death.

00:24:17.289 --> 00:24:19.206
Dear Lord,

00:24:23.879 --> 00:24:26.797
you made many, many poor people.

00:24:28.049 --> 00:24:31.594
I realize, of course,
it's no shame to be poor,

00:24:32.929 --> 00:24:35.055
but it's no great honor, either.

00:24:40.770 --> 00:24:44.231
So, what would have been so terrible

00:24:44.399 --> 00:24:48.694
if I had a small fortune?

00:30:01.216 --> 00:30:04.051
Tevye, Tevye, where's your horse?

00:30:04.219 --> 00:30:07.429
Well, he decided to take the day off.

00:30:08.181 --> 00:30:09.389
Have a good Sabbath.

00:30:09.557 --> 00:30:11.433
Thank you, Your Honor, thank you.

00:30:11.601 --> 00:30:12.810
Thank you.

00:30:13.895 --> 00:30:15.521
Tevye, you're late.
Tevye, hey!

00:30:15.688 --> 00:30:16.647
Where's your horse?

00:30:16.815 --> 00:30:18.482
It's almost the Sabbath.

00:30:18.650 --> 00:30:20.526
Tevye,
you have kept us all waiting.

00:30:20.693 --> 00:30:21.902
What happened to your horse?

00:30:22.070 --> 00:30:23.904
Look at this!

00:30:24.072 --> 00:30:26.031
Look what it says in the paper.

00:30:26.199 --> 00:30:28.575
- Look, look, look.
What's the matter, Avram?

00:30:29.911 --> 00:30:30.953
Quiet!

00:30:31.120 --> 00:30:33.831
Quiet! Stop braying like a pack of mules

00:30:33.998 --> 00:30:36.583
and let a man talk. Talk, Avram.

00:30:36.751 --> 00:30:39.378
Well, my paper came
to the post office today

00:30:39.546 --> 00:30:40.921
like it does every week.

00:30:41.089 --> 00:30:42.965
Though usually it comes on a Thursday,

00:30:43.132 --> 00:30:46.343
- but sometimes...
- Avram, that's not talking.

00:30:46.511 --> 00:30:47.761
That's babbling.

00:30:47.929 --> 00:30:49.805
- Tell us the news.
- What does it say?

00:30:50.598 --> 00:30:51.932
Quiet!

00:30:52.433 --> 00:30:53.725
Talk, Avram.

00:30:53.935 --> 00:30:56.311
Well, I was reading my paper.

00:30:56.479 --> 00:30:57.771
It's nothing very important.

00:30:57.939 --> 00:30:59.606
A story about the crops in the Ukraine

00:30:59.774 --> 00:31:01.400
and this and that.

00:31:01.651 --> 00:31:03.986
Avram, talk.

00:31:05.780 --> 00:31:09.116
And then, I saw this.

00:31:10.952 --> 00:31:12.327
All right.

00:31:12.787 --> 00:31:14.204
We all see it.

00:31:15.832 --> 00:31:17.624
What does it say?

00:31:21.254 --> 00:31:23.797
"In a village called Rajanka,

00:31:24.173 --> 00:31:26.008
"all the Jews were evicted,

00:31:26.175 --> 00:31:28.760
"forced to leave their homes. "

00:31:31.097 --> 00:31:32.139
For what reason?

00:31:33.975 --> 00:31:35.517
It doesn't say.

00:31:35.685 --> 00:31:38.186
Maybe the Tsar wanted their land.
Maybe a plague.

00:31:38.354 --> 00:31:40.230
May the Tsar have
his own personal plague!

00:31:40.398 --> 00:31:41.732
- Amen!
- Amen!

00:31:41.900 --> 00:31:43.525
What's the matter with you?

00:31:43.693 --> 00:31:45.611
Why don't you ever bring us
some good news?

00:31:45.778 --> 00:31:47.446
It's not my fault.

00:31:47.614 --> 00:31:49.031
I only read it.

00:31:49.198 --> 00:31:51.491
"An edict from the authorities. "

00:31:51.659 --> 00:31:53.535
May the authorities grow like onions

00:31:53.703 --> 00:31:55.537
with their heads in the ground.

00:31:55.705 --> 00:31:56.830
- Amen!
- Amen!

00:31:56.998 --> 00:31:59.082
What good
will your cursing do?

00:32:00.877 --> 00:32:02.502
You stand around,

00:32:02.670 --> 00:32:04.338
you curse, and you chatter,

00:32:04.505 --> 00:32:05.714
and you don't do anything.

00:32:05.882 --> 00:32:08.592
You'll all chatter your way
into the grave.

00:32:08.760 --> 00:32:09.927
Excuse me.

00:32:10.303 --> 00:32:11.887
You're not from this village.

00:32:12.513 --> 00:32:13.597
No.

00:32:13.765 --> 00:32:14.723
Where are you from?

00:32:14.891 --> 00:32:16.350
Kiev.

00:32:16.517 --> 00:32:18.268
I was a student in the university there.

00:32:19.812 --> 00:32:20.771
The university.

00:32:20.939 --> 00:32:23.649
Tell me,
is that a place where you learned

00:32:23.816 --> 00:32:25.692
how not to respect your elders?

00:32:25.860 --> 00:32:28.862
That is where I learned
there is more to life than talk.

00:32:29.447 --> 00:32:32.074
You should know
what's going on in the outside world.

00:32:32.241 --> 00:32:33.200
Careful, my paper.

00:32:33.368 --> 00:32:36.078
Why should I break my head
about the outside world?

00:32:36.245 --> 00:32:38.372
Let the outside world
break its own head.

00:32:38.539 --> 00:32:39.873
Well put.

00:32:41.125 --> 00:32:44.544
He's right. As the Good Book says,

00:32:44.754 --> 00:32:47.923
"If you spit in the air,
it lands in your face. "

00:32:48.800 --> 00:32:50.092
Nonsense.

00:32:50.802 --> 00:32:53.679
You can't close your eyes
to what's happening in the world.

00:32:56.182 --> 00:32:57.182
He's right.

00:32:57.350 --> 00:32:59.226
He's right and he's right?

00:32:59.394 --> 00:33:01.311
They can't both be right.

00:33:03.064 --> 00:33:04.898
You know, you are also right.

00:33:05.066 --> 00:33:06.316
He is right.

00:33:06.484 --> 00:33:09.236
He's too young to wipe his own nose.
Good Sabbath, Tevye.

00:33:09.404 --> 00:33:10.821
University!

00:33:12.907 --> 00:33:14.700
- Here. Good Sabbath.
- Good Sabbath, Tevye.

00:33:14.867 --> 00:33:15.909
Good Sabbath.

00:33:17.078 --> 00:33:18.578
Tevye, Tevye.

00:33:18.746 --> 00:33:21.581
Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. I apologize.

00:33:21.749 --> 00:33:22.749
Here.

00:33:22.917 --> 00:33:23.917
- Good Sabbath.
- Good Sabbath.

00:33:24.085 --> 00:33:26.878
- Good Sabbath.
- Tevye, the rabbi's order.

00:33:27.046 --> 00:33:28.463
Of course.

00:33:29.424 --> 00:33:31.508
So you are from Kiev, Reb...

00:33:31.676 --> 00:33:33.218
- Perchik.
- Perchik.

00:33:34.387 --> 00:33:36.888
So you are a newcomer here?

00:33:38.057 --> 00:33:39.933
As Abraham said,

00:33:40.101 --> 00:33:44.146
"I'm a stranger in a strange land. "

00:33:44.313 --> 00:33:46.106
Moses said that.

00:33:46.274 --> 00:33:49.568
Forgive me. Forgive me.
As King David said,

00:33:49.736 --> 00:33:52.779
"I'm slow of speech and slow of tongue. "

00:33:52.947 --> 00:33:55.115
That was also Moses.

00:33:56.784 --> 00:33:59.828
For a man with a slow tongue,
he talked a lot.

00:34:02.874 --> 00:34:04.708
Here, Reb Perchik.

00:34:04.876 --> 00:34:06.168
Have a piece.

00:34:07.295 --> 00:34:09.755
I have no money, and I'm not a beggar.

00:34:09.922 --> 00:34:12.924
Take it. It's a blessing for me to give.

00:34:15.844 --> 00:34:17.179
Very well.

00:34:17.346 --> 00:34:18.304
For your sake.

00:34:18.473 --> 00:34:20.806
Thank you. Thank you.

00:34:21.809 --> 00:34:24.351
You know, it's no crime to be poor.

00:34:24.520 --> 00:34:26.730
In this world it is the rich
who are the criminals.

00:34:26.898 --> 00:34:28.440
Someday their wealth will be ours.

00:34:28.608 --> 00:34:30.400
That would be nice.

00:34:30.568 --> 00:34:32.819
If they would agree, I would agree.

00:34:33.780 --> 00:34:36.864
And who will make this miracle
to come to pass?

00:34:37.074 --> 00:34:38.784
People. Ordinary people.

00:34:39.118 --> 00:34:40.327
Like you?

00:34:40.661 --> 00:34:41.870
Like me.

00:34:42.038 --> 00:34:45.165
And until your golden day
comes, Reb Perchik,

00:34:45.333 --> 00:34:46.666
how will you live?

00:34:46.833 --> 00:34:48.168
By giving lessons to children.

00:34:48.335 --> 00:34:49.753
Do you have any children?

00:34:50.129 --> 00:34:51.797
I have five daughters.

00:34:52.799 --> 00:34:53.924
Five?

00:34:54.926 --> 00:34:56.510
Daughters!

00:34:56.844 --> 00:34:58.345
Girls should learn, too.

00:34:58.513 --> 00:34:59.596
Girls are people.

00:34:59.764 --> 00:35:01.348
- A radical!
- Go away.

00:35:01.516 --> 00:35:02.724
I'd be willing to teach them.

00:35:02.892 --> 00:35:04.684
Open their minds to great thoughts.

00:35:04.852 --> 00:35:05.852
Yeah?

00:35:06.020 --> 00:35:08.063
I'd like them to know the Good Book.

00:35:08.231 --> 00:35:10.774
Well, the Bible has many lessons
for our times.

00:35:11.776 --> 00:35:12.984
Perchik,

00:35:14.195 --> 00:35:16.863
I'm a very poor man,

00:35:17.031 --> 00:35:20.242
but food for lessons, huh?

00:35:20.868 --> 00:35:23.370
Good. Good.
Stay with us for the Sabbath.

00:35:23.538 --> 00:35:25.705
Of course, we don't eat like kings,

00:35:25.873 --> 00:35:27.541
but we don't starve, either.

00:35:27.708 --> 00:35:31.169
As the Good Book says,
"When a poor man eats a chicken,

00:35:31.337 --> 00:35:33.380
"one of them is sick. "

00:35:33.548 --> 00:35:34.881
Where does the book say that?

00:35:35.049 --> 00:35:36.758
All right. All right.

00:35:36.926 --> 00:35:38.760
It doesn't exactly say that,

00:35:38.928 --> 00:35:41.888
but someplace it has something
about a chicken.

00:35:42.056 --> 00:35:43.515
- Good Sabbath.
- Good Sabbath.

00:35:43.683 --> 00:35:44.391
Good Sabbath.

00:35:45.226 --> 00:35:46.893
Do you really
think Yente found someone?

00:35:47.061 --> 00:35:48.061
I don't know.

00:35:48.229 --> 00:35:49.271
Good Sabbath, children.

00:35:49.438 --> 00:35:50.730
Good Sabbath, Papa.

00:35:50.898 --> 00:35:53.233
Children, this is Perchik.

00:35:53.401 --> 00:35:55.694
Perchik, this is my eldest daughter.

00:35:55.862 --> 00:35:56.820
- Good Sabbath.
- Good Sabbath.

00:35:56.988 --> 00:35:58.071
You have a pleasant daughter.

00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:00.240
I have five pleasant daughters.

00:36:00.408 --> 00:36:02.742
- This is mine.
- Good Sabbath.

00:36:02.910 --> 00:36:04.744
- And this is mine.
- Good Sabbath, Papa.

00:36:04.912 --> 00:36:10.584
And this is mine.

00:36:10.751 --> 00:36:12.043
And this...

00:36:12.879 --> 00:36:14.629
Well, this is not mine.

00:36:14.797 --> 00:36:17.090
Perchik, this is Motel Kamzoil.

00:36:17.258 --> 00:36:19.759
So, you did us a favor and came home.

00:36:22.263 --> 00:36:23.930
Well, this is also mine.

00:36:24.432 --> 00:36:28.602
Golde, Golde, this is Perchik from Kiev.

00:36:28.936 --> 00:36:32.189
He'll be staying the Sabbath with us.
He is a teacher.

00:36:32.356 --> 00:36:33.982
Would you like
to take lessons from him?

00:36:34.150 --> 00:36:35.108
- Yes, Papa.
- Good.

00:36:35.276 --> 00:36:36.318
I'm a very good teacher.

00:36:36.485 --> 00:36:39.446
I heard once that the rabbi
who must praise himself

00:36:39.614 --> 00:36:41.281
has a congregation of one.

00:36:42.909 --> 00:36:44.910
Your daughter has
a quick and witty tongue.

00:36:45.077 --> 00:36:47.621
Yeah, the wit she gets from me.

00:36:47.788 --> 00:36:49.456
As the Good Book says...

00:36:49.624 --> 00:36:51.458
The Good Book can wait. Get washed.

00:36:51.626 --> 00:36:53.293
This tongue she gets from her mother.

00:36:53.461 --> 00:36:55.754
Motel, you're also eating with us?

00:36:55.922 --> 00:36:59.299
- If...
- Of course. Another blessing.

00:36:59.467 --> 00:37:00.926
Tzeitel, Tzeitel, get the small table.

00:37:01.093 --> 00:37:03.094
And, Chava, the two chairs from outside.

00:37:03.262 --> 00:37:05.138
Children, finish dressing.
You can wash at the well.

00:37:05.306 --> 00:37:06.765
- Oh, thank you.
- Hurry, Hodel, help him. Hurry.

00:37:06.933 --> 00:37:09.100
Hurry. It's almost the Sabbath. Hurry!

00:37:11.270 --> 00:37:12.646
Tevye.

00:37:13.940 --> 00:37:15.815
Tevye, I have something to say to you.

00:37:16.192 --> 00:37:18.151
Why should today be different?

00:37:18.861 --> 00:37:20.987
Tevye, I have something to tell you.

00:37:21.572 --> 00:37:23.657
- Tzeitel, I have something to tell you.
- Motel,

00:37:23.824 --> 00:37:25.742
- Yente was here.
- I know. I saw her.

00:37:25.910 --> 00:37:27.827
If they agree on someone,
there will be a match,

00:37:27.995 --> 00:37:29.454
and then it will be too late for us.

00:37:29.622 --> 00:37:33.750
But, Tzeitel, I have found someone who
will sell me his used sewing machine.

00:37:33.918 --> 00:37:36.586
So maybe in a few weeks
I'll have saved up enough to buy it.

00:37:36.754 --> 00:37:39.172
- And then your father...
- A few weeks might be too late.

00:37:39.340 --> 00:37:40.966
Lazar Wolf wants to see you.

00:37:41.133 --> 00:37:42.717
The butcher? What is it about?

00:37:42.885 --> 00:37:45.345
I don't know,
only he says it's important.

00:37:45.554 --> 00:37:48.682
What can be important?
I have nothing for him to slaughter.

00:37:48.849 --> 00:37:51.351
After the Sabbath,
see him, talk with him.

00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.186
Talk about what?

00:37:53.354 --> 00:37:56.481
If he is thinking about buying
my new milk cow,

00:37:56.649 --> 00:37:58.024
he can forget it.

00:37:58.192 --> 00:37:59.859
Tevye, I want you to talk...

00:38:05.616 --> 00:38:06.574
Tevye.

00:38:06.742 --> 00:38:08.827
Tevye, I want you to talk to...

00:38:13.541 --> 00:38:14.958
What else can I do?

00:38:17.295 --> 00:38:19.379
You could ask my father
for my hand tonight.

00:38:19.839 --> 00:38:20.922
Now.

00:38:21.549 --> 00:38:23.800
Why should he consider me now?
I'm only a poor tailor.

00:38:23.968 --> 00:38:26.553
And I'm only the daughter
of a poor milkman.

00:38:26.721 --> 00:38:27.721
Just talk to him.

00:38:27.888 --> 00:38:30.807
Tzeitel, if your father says no,
that's it. It's final.

00:38:33.019 --> 00:38:34.894
- He'll yell at me.
- Motel.

00:38:35.062 --> 00:38:37.063
I'm just a poor tailor.

00:38:37.231 --> 00:38:41.568
Motel, even a poor tailor
is entitled to some happiness.

00:38:44.822 --> 00:38:45.905
That's true.

00:38:49.285 --> 00:38:50.952
Amen.
A man sends you an important message,

00:38:51.120 --> 00:38:52.078
at least you can talk to him.

00:38:52.246 --> 00:38:53.747
- I don't want to talk to...
- Talk to him!

00:38:53.914 --> 00:38:57.417
All right!
After the Sabbath, I'll talk to him.

00:38:57.752 --> 00:39:00.211
All right. I'll talk to him.

00:39:09.096 --> 00:39:10.889
Well, it's getting late.

00:39:12.141 --> 00:39:13.683
Where is everybody?

00:39:13.851 --> 00:39:14.934
I don't know, Papa.

00:39:15.353 --> 00:39:16.770
Children! Come down, children!

00:39:16.937 --> 00:39:19.105
We are lighting the candles. Children!

00:39:19.273 --> 00:39:20.774
- Reb Tevye.
- Not now, Motel.

00:39:20.941 --> 00:39:23.234
Hurry up, children! Hurry up.

00:39:23.402 --> 00:39:24.778
- Reb Tevye.
- Not now, Motel.

00:39:24.945 --> 00:39:25.945
Golde.

00:39:26.113 --> 00:39:27.989
Golde, the sun is almost down.

00:39:28.157 --> 00:39:30.575
- Reb Tevye.
- What is it?

00:39:31.035 --> 00:39:32.202
Reb Tevye.

00:39:32.370 --> 00:39:34.371
- Yes? Yes?
- Reb Tevye.

00:39:34.538 --> 00:39:35.830
- Yes? Yes?
- I...

00:39:35.998 --> 00:39:37.791
Well, Motel, what is it?

00:39:41.212 --> 00:39:42.921
Good Sabbath, Reb Tevye.

00:39:43.798 --> 00:39:45.799
Good Sabbath. Good Sabbath.

00:39:48.052 --> 00:39:49.302
Hurry up.

00:39:49.470 --> 00:39:51.513
Hurry, children.
Hurry. It's getting late.

00:39:51.680 --> 00:39:52.847
Hurry.

00:42:39.807 --> 00:42:40.640
Is Reb...

00:42:42.977 --> 00:42:52.652
Is Reb Lazar Wolf at home?

00:42:52.820 --> 00:42:53.861
He's in the back.

00:42:54.863 --> 00:42:56.864
May I...

00:42:59.994 --> 00:43:01.202
Come in.

00:43:01.412 --> 00:43:03.371
Thank you. Thank you.

00:43:16.176 --> 00:43:19.178
And all this from
killing innocent animals.

00:43:19.346 --> 00:43:20.847
Don't touch anything.

00:43:21.015 --> 00:43:22.432
All right.

00:43:53.213 --> 00:43:55.006
Well, Tevye.

00:43:56.216 --> 00:43:57.550
You're here.

00:43:57.718 --> 00:43:59.218
Well, sit down, sit down.

00:43:59.386 --> 00:44:01.054
- Thank you, thank you.
- Yeah.

00:44:01.221 --> 00:44:02.430
Have a drink.

00:44:02.598 --> 00:44:05.391
I won't insult you by saying no.

00:44:07.770 --> 00:44:09.437
Well,

00:44:09.605 --> 00:44:11.731
how goes it with you, Reb Tevye?

00:44:11.899 --> 00:44:13.524
How should it go?

00:44:13.692 --> 00:44:14.734
You're right.

00:44:14.902 --> 00:44:15.860
And you?

00:44:16.028 --> 00:44:17.278
The same.

00:44:17.446 --> 00:44:19.322
I'm sorry to hear that.

00:44:32.961 --> 00:44:36.130
How is your brother-in-law

00:44:36.298 --> 00:44:37.256
in America?

00:44:37.424 --> 00:44:38.925
He's doing very well.

00:44:39.093 --> 00:44:40.635
- He wrote you?
- No, not lately.

00:44:40.803 --> 00:44:42.095
Then how do you know?

00:44:42.262 --> 00:44:45.098
If he was doing badly, he would write.

00:44:53.941 --> 00:44:55.608
- L'chaim.
- L'chaim.

00:45:00.114 --> 00:45:01.823
- Tevye.
- Yeah?

00:45:04.493 --> 00:45:08.830
I suppose you know
why I wanted to see you.

00:45:08.997 --> 00:45:11.791
Oh, yes, I do,

00:45:12.292 --> 00:45:14.711
but there is no use talking about it.

00:45:18.549 --> 00:45:23.636
Tevye, I understand how you feel,

00:45:23.804 --> 00:45:27.306
but, after all,
you have a few more without her.

00:45:27.474 --> 00:45:29.142
I see.

00:45:29.643 --> 00:45:32.979
Today you want one.
Tomorrow you may want two.

00:45:33.147 --> 00:45:35.648
Two? What...

00:45:35.816 --> 00:45:36.816
What would I do with two?

00:45:36.984 --> 00:45:39.026
The same as you do with one.

00:45:49.747 --> 00:45:50.788
Tevye.

00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:55.877
This is very important to me.

00:45:56.044 --> 00:45:58.337
Why is it so important to you?

00:46:00.674 --> 00:46:01.924
Frankly,

00:46:02.718 --> 00:46:03.926
because

00:46:06.013 --> 00:46:07.346
I'm lonely.

00:46:11.018 --> 00:46:12.185
Lonely?

00:46:13.020 --> 00:46:14.187
Reb Lazar,

00:46:14.855 --> 00:46:17.023
what are you talking about?

00:46:17.191 --> 00:46:19.233
How can a little cow keep you company?

00:46:19.401 --> 00:46:20.651
Little cow?

00:46:20.819 --> 00:46:22.278
Is that what you call her?

00:46:22.446 --> 00:46:24.530
What else should I call her?
That's what she is.

00:46:24.698 --> 00:46:26.532
- Reb Lazar, what are you talking about?
- Don't you know?

00:46:26.700 --> 00:46:29.660
Of course I know.
We are talking about my new milk cow,

00:46:29.828 --> 00:46:31.788
the one you want to buy from me.

00:46:31.955 --> 00:46:33.790
A milk cow?

00:46:37.753 --> 00:46:39.921
A milk cow so I won't be lonely?

00:46:46.136 --> 00:46:48.721
I'm... I'm talking about

00:46:48.889 --> 00:46:50.223
your daughter.

00:46:50.390 --> 00:46:52.308
Your daughter, Tzeitel.

00:46:52.476 --> 00:46:54.477
My daughter, Tzeitel?

00:46:55.020 --> 00:46:57.480
Of course. Your daughter, Tzeitel.

00:46:57.815 --> 00:47:01.901
I see her every Thursday
in my butcher shop,

00:47:02.402 --> 00:47:05.488
and she's made
a very good impression on me,

00:47:05.656 --> 00:47:07.281
a very good impression.

00:47:07.783 --> 00:47:09.283
Reb Tevye,

00:47:10.327 --> 00:47:11.619
I like her.

00:47:14.540 --> 00:47:16.624
Why don't we just shake hands

00:47:16.792 --> 00:47:18.417
and call it a match?

00:47:22.589 --> 00:47:23.798
And

00:47:24.842 --> 00:47:26.926
I'll be good to her.

00:47:29.054 --> 00:47:30.263
Tevye.

00:47:33.767 --> 00:47:34.851
I...

00:47:36.436 --> 00:47:37.895
I like her.

00:47:41.358 --> 00:47:42.650
Well?

00:47:44.945 --> 00:47:46.362
What do you think?

00:47:47.322 --> 00:47:48.406
What do I think?

00:47:56.456 --> 00:47:58.207
I never really liked him.

00:48:00.127 --> 00:48:01.294
Why should I?

00:48:01.461 --> 00:48:04.505
You can have
a fine conversation with him

00:48:04.673 --> 00:48:07.633
if you talk about kidneys and livers.

00:48:07.801 --> 00:48:09.635
On the other hand,

00:48:11.305 --> 00:48:13.848
not everyone has to be a scholar.

00:48:15.183 --> 00:48:17.393
And with a butcher,

00:48:17.561 --> 00:48:20.813
my daughter
will surely never know hunger.

00:48:22.316 --> 00:48:24.191
Maybe I misjudged him.

00:48:26.194 --> 00:48:27.820
He's a good man.

00:48:30.282 --> 00:48:31.824
He likes her.

00:48:34.828 --> 00:48:37.371
And he'll try to make her happy.

00:48:42.085 --> 00:48:43.502
What do I think?

00:48:45.172 --> 00:48:46.923
It's a match.

00:48:47.758 --> 00:48:50.051
- You agree?
- I agree.

00:48:51.803 --> 00:48:54.347
Tevye, you've made me a happy man.

00:48:54.514 --> 00:48:56.390
- Good.
- Let's drink on it.

00:48:56.558 --> 00:48:57.850
Why not?

00:48:59.478 --> 00:49:00.519
To you.

00:49:00.687 --> 00:49:02.313
No, my friend. To you.

00:49:02.481 --> 00:49:03.481
To the both of us.

00:49:03.649 --> 00:49:05.691
- To our agreement.
- To our agreement.

00:49:07.027 --> 00:49:08.194
To our prosperity.

00:49:10.864 --> 00:49:14.075
To our good health and happiness.

00:49:15.619 --> 00:49:17.870
And most important of all...

00:49:20.290 --> 00:49:21.666
Well...

00:50:21.643 --> 00:50:22.685
Bartend!

00:50:22.853 --> 00:50:24.562
Yes? What is it?

00:50:24.730 --> 00:50:25.896
Drinks for everyone!

00:50:26.064 --> 00:50:27.148
What's the big occasion?

00:50:27.315 --> 00:50:29.442
I'm taking myself a bride!

00:50:29.609 --> 00:50:31.027
Who's the lucky one?

00:50:31.194 --> 00:50:33.279
Tevye's eldest, Tzeitel!

00:52:25.767 --> 00:52:26.976
Thank you.

00:54:31.184 --> 00:54:32.726
I like it!

00:55:44.424 --> 00:55:46.675
Drinks for everybody!

00:55:46.843 --> 00:55:48.093
Mazel tov!

00:55:51.890 --> 00:55:53.932
To life!

00:56:11.201 --> 00:56:12.409
Tevye.

00:56:15.622 --> 00:56:16.622
Tevye,

00:56:16.790 --> 00:56:18.082
after

00:56:18.792 --> 00:56:20.042
the marriage

00:56:20.835 --> 00:56:22.294
we will be

00:56:22.462 --> 00:56:24.088
- related.
- Yeah?

00:56:24.255 --> 00:56:25.464
You

00:56:25.632 --> 00:56:27.007
will be my

00:56:27.217 --> 00:56:28.300
papa.

00:56:29.886 --> 00:56:31.303
Your papa?

00:56:36.810 --> 00:56:38.143
Lazar Wolf,

00:56:39.020 --> 00:56:41.563
I always wanted a son.

00:56:44.150 --> 00:56:47.611
But I wanted one
a little younger than myself.

00:56:59.749 --> 00:57:01.166
Good night.
Good night.

00:57:12.095 --> 00:57:15.389
I hear that congratulations
are in order, Tevye.

00:57:15.723 --> 00:57:17.683
Thank you, Your Honor.

00:57:17.851 --> 00:57:19.143
Thank you.

00:57:20.687 --> 00:57:24.523
Tevye.

00:57:29.612 --> 00:57:31.321
Yes, Your Honor.

00:57:32.907 --> 00:57:36.034
I have this piece of news
I think I should tell you as a friend.

00:57:36.202 --> 00:57:37.661
Yes, Your Honor.

00:57:38.204 --> 00:57:40.164
I'm giving you this news
because I like you.

00:57:41.875 --> 00:57:43.625
You're an honest, decent person,

00:57:43.793 --> 00:57:45.169
even though you are a Jew.

00:57:47.547 --> 00:57:50.048
Thank you, Your Honor.

00:57:50.216 --> 00:57:54.386
How often does a man get
a compliment like that?

00:57:55.472 --> 00:57:56.847
And the news?

00:57:58.224 --> 00:58:00.601
We have received orders
that sometime soon

00:58:00.768 --> 00:58:04.021
this district is to have
a little unofficial demonstration.

00:58:06.900 --> 00:58:07.900
What?

00:58:11.571 --> 00:58:12.863
A pogrom?

00:58:13.990 --> 00:58:15.115
- Here?
- No, no, no, no.

00:58:15.283 --> 00:58:17.409
Just a little unofficial demonstration.

00:58:18.036 --> 00:58:19.286
Little?

00:58:20.580 --> 00:58:21.747
How little?

00:58:21.915 --> 00:58:22.915
Not too serious.

00:58:23.082 --> 00:58:25.626
Just some mischief,
so that if an inspector comes through,

00:58:25.793 --> 00:58:27.544
he can see that we did our duty.

00:58:29.589 --> 00:58:30.631
Personally, I don't know why

00:58:30.798 --> 00:58:32.633
there has to be this trouble
between people,

00:58:33.384 --> 00:58:35.219
but I thought I should tell you.

00:58:37.430 --> 00:58:39.264
Thank you, Your Honor.

00:58:41.059 --> 00:58:42.893
You are a good man.

00:58:44.646 --> 00:58:47.314
If I may say so,

00:58:47.482 --> 00:58:49.691
it's too bad you are not a Jew.

00:58:50.985 --> 00:58:53.237
That's what I like about you, Tevye.

00:58:53.404 --> 00:58:55.155
You're always joking.

00:59:00.870 --> 00:59:03.372
Congratulations again for your daughter.

00:59:03.581 --> 00:59:05.290
Thank you, Your Honor.

00:59:06.459 --> 00:59:07.834
About the other matter,

00:59:08.002 --> 00:59:09.044
it won't be too bad.

00:59:09.212 --> 00:59:10.587
I wouldn't worry.

00:59:10.797 --> 00:59:12.256
Yeah, of course not.

00:59:30.525 --> 00:59:31.775
Dear God,

00:59:33.194 --> 00:59:36.822
did you have to send me news like that

00:59:37.156 --> 00:59:39.449
today of all days?

00:59:41.244 --> 00:59:45.497
I know, I know.
We are the chosen people.

00:59:47.125 --> 00:59:48.667
But once in a while,

00:59:48.835 --> 00:59:51.336
can't you choose someone else?

00:59:58.177 --> 00:59:59.511
Anyway,

01:00:00.513 --> 01:00:03.974
thank you for sending a husband

01:00:04.142 --> 01:00:05.809
for my Tzeitel.

01:00:10.023 --> 01:00:11.356
L'chaim.

01:01:12.877 --> 01:01:13.877
Now,

01:01:14.045 --> 01:01:17.506
after Jacob had worked
for Laban for seven years,

01:01:17.799 --> 01:01:19.675
do you know what happened?

01:01:19.842 --> 01:01:21.259
Laban fooled him

01:01:21.427 --> 01:01:24.471
and gave him his ugly daughter Leah.

01:01:24.639 --> 01:01:25.889
So to marry Rachel,

01:01:26.057 --> 01:01:29.434
Jacob was forced to work
another seven years.

01:01:29.602 --> 01:01:30.560
So you see, children,

01:01:30.728 --> 01:01:32.979
the Bible clearly teaches us

01:01:33.147 --> 01:01:35.524
you can never trust an employer.

01:01:36.317 --> 01:01:38.360
And that is what
the Bible teaches us?

01:01:38.528 --> 01:01:40.779
That is the lesson
of the story of Jacob,

01:01:41.322 --> 01:01:43.281
if you interpret it correctly.

01:01:43.449 --> 01:01:45.325
Is your papa up yet?

01:01:45.493 --> 01:01:46.493
No, Mama.

01:01:47.620 --> 01:01:48.787
Enough lessons!

01:01:48.955 --> 01:01:51.039
Back to the house.
There's work to be done.

01:01:51.207 --> 01:01:54.000
Go on, children.
Another story tomorrow.

01:01:59.882 --> 01:02:02.759
That was a very
interesting lesson, Perchik.

01:02:04.470 --> 01:02:05.595
Do you think so?

01:02:07.557 --> 01:02:09.182
Although I don't know
if the rabbi would agree

01:02:09.350 --> 01:02:10.851
with your interpretation.

01:02:12.770 --> 01:02:15.397
Neither, I suppose,
would the rabbi's son.

01:02:16.607 --> 01:02:18.775
My little sisters talk too much.

01:02:19.652 --> 01:02:22.904
And what do you know about him
except that he is the rabbi's son?

01:02:23.072 --> 01:02:24.698
At least I know this,

01:02:24.866 --> 01:02:28.702
he doesn't have any strange ideas
about turning the world upside down.

01:02:29.412 --> 01:02:30.495
Good day, Perchik.

01:02:30.663 --> 01:02:32.998
You have wit,
even a little intelligence.

01:02:33.166 --> 01:02:34.583
- Thank you.
- Perhaps.

01:02:34.751 --> 01:02:36.001
But what good is your brain?

01:02:36.169 --> 01:02:38.795
Without curiosity, it is a rusty tool.

01:02:39.505 --> 01:02:40.714
Good day, Hodel.

01:02:40.882 --> 01:02:42.799
We have an old custom here.

01:02:42.967 --> 01:02:45.552
A boy talks respectfully to a girl.

01:02:45.845 --> 01:02:47.846
But, of course, that is too traditional

01:02:48.014 --> 01:02:49.681
for an advanced thinker like you.

01:02:49.849 --> 01:02:51.600
"Our traditions. "
"Nothing must change. "

01:02:51.768 --> 01:02:53.810
"Everything is perfect
exactly the way it is. "

01:02:53.978 --> 01:02:55.228
We like our ways.

01:02:55.396 --> 01:02:57.981
Our ways are changing all over but here.

01:02:58.524 --> 01:03:01.526
Do you know that in the city
boys and girls can be affectionate

01:03:01.694 --> 01:03:03.403
without the permission
of a matchmaker?

01:03:04.447 --> 01:03:05.989
They hold hands together.

01:03:06.157 --> 01:03:07.741
They even dance together.

01:03:07.909 --> 01:03:09.951
New dances. Like this.

01:03:16.375 --> 01:03:17.793
I learned it in Kiev.

01:03:22.089 --> 01:03:23.048
You like it?

01:03:23.216 --> 01:03:24.883
It's... It's very nice.

01:03:43.069 --> 01:03:44.194
There.

01:03:45.530 --> 01:03:47.906
We've just changed an old custom.

01:03:48.866 --> 01:03:49.908
Yes.

01:03:52.328 --> 01:03:54.538
I mean, thank you.

01:03:58.543 --> 01:04:00.585
I mean,

01:04:00.753 --> 01:04:01.920
good day!

01:04:35.454 --> 01:04:39.124
- So, my prince is finally out of bed.
- Oh, God! Not now. Not now.

01:04:39.292 --> 01:04:42.460
- Open your eyes. The day's half gone.
- Go away!

01:04:43.212 --> 01:04:44.754
Well?

01:04:44.922 --> 01:04:46.339
Well, what happened last night

01:04:46.507 --> 01:04:48.925
besides your drinking like a peasant?

01:04:49.093 --> 01:04:50.969
Did you see Lazar Wolf?

01:04:52.138 --> 01:04:54.890
Well?

01:04:55.057 --> 01:04:57.142
Well, what did he say?

01:04:57.310 --> 01:04:58.727
What did you say?

01:04:58.895 --> 01:04:59.978
Where...

01:05:01.314 --> 01:05:03.732
- Where... Where is Tzeitel?
- She's in the barn.

01:05:03.900 --> 01:05:05.692
- In the barn.
- Do you have news for me?

01:05:05.860 --> 01:05:07.903
- Did you talk with Lazar Wolf?
- Oh, the other way.

01:05:08.070 --> 01:05:09.112
Well, what happened?

01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:11.781
Patience, woman, patience.

01:05:13.492 --> 01:05:14.951
As the Good Book says,

01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:16.912
"Good news will stay,

01:05:17.079 --> 01:05:19.915
"and bad news will refuse to leave. "

01:05:20.082 --> 01:05:21.958
And there is another saying that goes...

01:05:22.126 --> 01:05:23.710
You can die from such a man.

01:05:26.380 --> 01:05:27.672
Did you see Lazar?

01:05:27.840 --> 01:05:29.507
- Was it friendly?
- Shah, woman, shah!

01:05:29.675 --> 01:05:31.843
Are you still drunk, or what?

01:05:32.178 --> 01:05:34.179
Here she is.

01:05:34.347 --> 01:05:36.806
Tzeitel, my lamb, come here.

01:05:37.350 --> 01:05:40.060
You are to be congratulated.

01:05:41.646 --> 01:05:43.271
You are going to be married.

01:05:43.439 --> 01:05:45.148
Married?

01:05:45.316 --> 01:05:46.650
What do you mean, Papa?

01:05:48.611 --> 01:05:51.154
Lazar Wolf has asked for your hand.

01:05:51.322 --> 01:05:52.530
I knew it!

01:05:52.698 --> 01:05:54.115
The butcher?

01:05:54.283 --> 01:05:55.617
Oh, dear God, I thank thee.

01:05:55.785 --> 01:05:56.743
I thank thee!

01:05:56.911 --> 01:05:58.578
Why do you have to...

01:05:58.746 --> 01:06:00.622
What do you have to say, Tzeitel?

01:06:00.790 --> 01:06:02.207
What can she say?

01:06:02.375 --> 01:06:03.708
Let her say one word.

01:06:03.876 --> 01:06:06.419
My firstborn, a bride.

01:06:09.590 --> 01:06:13.885
May you grow old with him,
in fortune and honor.

01:06:14.053 --> 01:06:16.721
Not like Fruma Sarah,
that first wife of Lazar's.

01:06:16.889 --> 01:06:18.014
She was a bitter woman.

01:06:18.182 --> 01:06:19.641
May she rest in peace.

01:06:19.809 --> 01:06:22.060
Not like my Tzeitel.

01:06:23.646 --> 01:06:25.939
And now, I must thank Yente.

01:06:26.107 --> 01:06:28.483
My Tzeitel, a bride.

01:06:28.651 --> 01:06:31.069
A bride, I thank thee.

01:06:31.237 --> 01:06:33.488
I thank thee!

01:06:33.656 --> 01:06:35.907
- A bride! A bride!
- Well, Chava?

01:06:37.326 --> 01:06:38.994
Mazel tov, Tzeitel.

01:06:40.413 --> 01:06:42.414
"Mazel tov, Tzeitel"?

01:06:42.581 --> 01:06:44.749
What kind of a mazel tov is that?

01:06:44.917 --> 01:06:46.042
And you, Reb Perchik,

01:06:46.210 --> 01:06:49.337
aren't you going to congratulate her?

01:06:50.923 --> 01:06:52.173
Congratulations, Tzeitel.

01:06:52.341 --> 01:06:54.259
For getting a rich man.

01:06:54.427 --> 01:06:55.719
Ah!

01:06:55.886 --> 01:06:57.637
Again with the rich.

01:06:57.805 --> 01:06:59.764
What's wrong with being rich?

01:06:59.932 --> 01:07:01.766
It's no reason to marry.

01:07:02.226 --> 01:07:03.643
Money's the world's curse.

01:07:05.062 --> 01:07:07.689
May the lord smite me with it,

01:07:08.899 --> 01:07:11.109
and may I never recover!

01:07:12.737 --> 01:07:14.154
World's curse.

01:07:16.490 --> 01:07:19.617
My Tzeitel knows
I mean only her welfare.

01:07:19.827 --> 01:07:21.578
Am I right, Tzeitel?

01:07:21.996 --> 01:07:24.330
- Yes, Papa.
- There, you see?

01:07:24.665 --> 01:07:25.874
I see.

01:07:26.083 --> 01:07:27.792
I see very well.

01:07:38.054 --> 01:07:40.221
Well, my child,

01:07:40.389 --> 01:07:42.265
why are you so silent?

01:07:43.517 --> 01:07:46.144
Aren't you happy with this blessing?

01:07:49.148 --> 01:07:50.398
Papa.

01:07:51.400 --> 01:07:53.443
- Papa.
- What is it? Tell me.

01:07:55.237 --> 01:07:57.614
Papa, I don't want to marry him.

01:07:57.990 --> 01:08:00.158
I can't marry him. I can't.

01:08:00.910 --> 01:08:02.994
What do you mean, you can't?

01:08:03.412 --> 01:08:05.705
If I say you will,

01:08:05.956 --> 01:08:07.082
you will.

01:08:07.958 --> 01:08:11.169
Papa, if it's a matter of money,
I'll do anything.

01:08:11.879 --> 01:08:13.922
I'll hire myself out as a servant.

01:08:14.090 --> 01:08:17.133
- Just, I don't...
- But we made an agreement!

01:08:17.593 --> 01:08:20.886
And with us,
an agreement is an agreement.

01:08:22.890 --> 01:08:24.849
Is that

01:08:25.017 --> 01:08:28.185
more important than I am, Papa?

01:08:33.234 --> 01:08:35.859
Papa, don't force me, please!

01:08:36.319 --> 01:08:38.822
I'll be unhappy all my days!

01:08:43.661 --> 01:08:46.537
- I don't want to marry him.
- All right.

01:08:46.705 --> 01:08:47.913
All right.

01:08:49.082 --> 01:08:50.834
I won't force you.

01:08:52.211 --> 01:08:55.004
Thank you, Papa, thank you.

01:08:55.881 --> 01:08:57.590
"Thank you, Papa. "

01:09:01.011 --> 01:09:02.720
It seems

01:09:02.888 --> 01:09:04.596
it was not ordained

01:09:04.765 --> 01:09:07.600
that you should have
all the comforts of life.

01:09:17.069 --> 01:09:18.611
Reb Tevye, may I speak to you?

01:09:18.779 --> 01:09:20.697
Later, Motel, later.

01:09:20.865 --> 01:09:22.407
But I would like to speak to you.

01:09:22.575 --> 01:09:26.202
Not now, not now. I have problems.

01:09:27.705 --> 01:09:29.581
That's what I want
to speak to you about.

01:09:30.291 --> 01:09:31.582
I think I can help.

01:09:31.750 --> 01:09:34.085
Certainly,
like a bandage can help a corpse.

01:09:34.252 --> 01:09:35.670
Goodbye, Motel, goodbye.

01:09:35.837 --> 01:09:37.881
At least listen to him, Papa.

01:09:39.466 --> 01:09:41.801
All right. You have a tongue, talk.

01:09:43.095 --> 01:09:45.721
Reb Tevye, I hear you are arranging
a match for Tzeitel.

01:09:45.890 --> 01:09:47.765
He also has ears.

01:09:47.933 --> 01:09:49.350
Well,

01:09:50.769 --> 01:09:52.353
I have a match for Tzeitel.

01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:53.897
What kind of a match?

01:09:54.273 --> 01:09:55.857
A perfect fit.

01:09:56.859 --> 01:09:58.860
- Like a glove.
- A glove.

01:09:59.028 --> 01:10:01.446
This match was made
exactly to measure.

01:10:01.614 --> 01:10:03.072
"Perfect fit, made to measure. "

01:10:03.240 --> 01:10:06.868
Motel, stop talking like a tailor
and tell me who is it?

01:10:07.036 --> 01:10:08.620
Please don't shout at me, Reb Tevye.

01:10:08.787 --> 01:10:11.289
All right, all right, I won't shout.

01:10:11.457 --> 01:10:13.374
I shall not shout.

01:10:14.084 --> 01:10:22.717
Who is it?

01:10:25.763 --> 01:10:26.846
It's me.

01:10:29.099 --> 01:10:30.308
Myself.

01:10:33.395 --> 01:10:34.562
It's him.

01:10:36.148 --> 01:10:37.357
Himself.

01:10:37.858 --> 01:10:40.652
Either you're out of your mind
or you're crazy.

01:10:40.819 --> 01:10:42.320
He must be crazy!

01:10:42.488 --> 01:10:44.530
Arranging a match for yourself?

01:10:44.698 --> 01:10:46.199
Tell me what are you, everything?

01:10:46.367 --> 01:10:49.494
The bridegroom, the matchmaker,
the guests, all rolled into one?

01:10:49.662 --> 01:10:51.996
I suppose you'll even
perform the sermon yourself.

01:10:52.164 --> 01:10:53.831
Please don't shout at me, Reb Tevye.

01:10:54.708 --> 01:10:56.042
Now, as for being my own matchmaker,

01:10:56.210 --> 01:10:57.585
I know it's a little unusual.

01:10:57.753 --> 01:10:59.462
Unusual? It's crazy!

01:11:00.297 --> 01:11:01.798
Times are changing, Reb Tevye.

01:11:01.966 --> 01:11:03.633
The thing is, over a year ago,

01:11:03.801 --> 01:11:05.343
your daughter Tzeitel
and I gave each other

01:11:05.511 --> 01:11:07.553
our pledge that we would marry.

01:11:13.185 --> 01:11:15.603
You gave each other a pledge?

01:11:23.445 --> 01:11:24.821
Yes, Papa.

01:11:26.615 --> 01:11:28.616
We gave each other our pledge.

01:11:31.495 --> 01:11:33.913
They gave each other a pledge.

01:11:34.123 --> 01:11:36.708
Unheard of, absurd.

01:12:22.379 --> 01:12:23.880
Where does it stop?

01:12:24.590 --> 01:12:27.759
Do I still have something
to say about my daughter?

01:12:28.093 --> 01:12:30.928
Or doesn't anyone
have to ask a father anymore?

01:12:31.096 --> 01:12:33.639
I've wanted to ask you
for some time, Reb Tevye,

01:12:33.849 --> 01:12:36.601
but first I wanted to save up enough
for my own sewing machine.

01:12:36.769 --> 01:12:39.270
- So we'd have...
- You stop talking nonsense.

01:12:39.438 --> 01:12:41.397
You are just a poor tailor!

01:12:41.565 --> 01:12:42.565
That's true, Reb Tevye.

01:12:42.733 --> 01:12:45.568
But even a poor tailor
is entitled to some happiness.

01:12:57.498 --> 01:13:01.084
I promise you, Reb Tevye,
your daughter will not starve.

01:13:06.840 --> 01:13:09.801
He is beginning to talk like a man.

01:13:11.970 --> 01:13:13.971
On the other hand,

01:13:14.139 --> 01:13:16.474
what kind of a match would that be,

01:13:16.683 --> 01:13:18.142
with a poor tailor?

01:13:21.438 --> 01:13:22.772
On the other hand,

01:13:23.482 --> 01:13:25.733
he is an honest, hard worker.

01:13:27.820 --> 01:13:29.362
But on the other hand,

01:13:29.988 --> 01:13:32.407
he has absolutely nothing.

01:13:33.867 --> 01:13:35.535
On the other hand,

01:13:35.702 --> 01:13:39.247
things could never get worse for him.
They could only get better.

01:13:44.336 --> 01:13:46.671
They gave each other a pledge.

01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:49.674
Unheard of, absurd.

01:14:22.374 --> 01:14:23.958
Well, children,

01:14:25.878 --> 01:14:27.545
when shall we make the wedding?

01:14:30.966 --> 01:14:32.216
Thank you, Papa!

01:14:33.802 --> 01:14:35.261
Reb Tevye,

01:14:35.429 --> 01:14:36.804
you won't be sorry.

01:14:36.972 --> 01:14:38.222
You won't be sorry.

01:14:38.390 --> 01:14:39.932
- I won't be sorry?
- No.

01:14:40.100 --> 01:14:42.226
I'm sorry already!

01:14:42.394 --> 01:14:45.646
Thank you, Papa.

01:14:45.814 --> 01:14:47.398
All right. All right.

01:14:49.902 --> 01:14:51.068
Papa.

01:14:58.785 --> 01:15:01.329
They gave each other a pledge.

01:15:09.922 --> 01:15:11.088
Golde.

01:15:14.801 --> 01:15:16.344
What shall I tell Golde?

01:15:23.268 --> 01:15:25.686
Motel, you were wonderful!

01:15:25.854 --> 01:15:27.522
It was a miracle!

01:17:48.372 --> 01:17:49.455
Good day.

01:17:49.623 --> 01:17:50.665
Hello, Sarah.

01:17:50.832 --> 01:17:52.958
Mazel tov, Chava. Mazel tov!

01:17:53.126 --> 01:17:54.835
- Thank you.
- Soon it will be you.

01:17:55.003 --> 01:17:57.672
- I hope so.
- Give my best wishes to Tzeitel.

01:17:57.839 --> 01:18:00.925
- I will.
- Mazel tov! Mazel tov!

01:18:04.179 --> 01:18:05.638
Mazel tov, Chava.

01:18:05.806 --> 01:18:07.473
Mazel tov.

01:18:15.732 --> 01:18:17.358
Please, no, don't, I...

01:18:17.526 --> 01:18:20.194
Please, I just want to get by.

01:18:21.113 --> 01:18:22.780
All right, stop it.

01:18:23.740 --> 01:18:25.282
What's wrong with you, Fyedka?

01:18:25.450 --> 01:18:26.617
- Just stop it.
- We're just having

01:18:26.785 --> 01:18:28.577
a little fun, Fyedka.

01:18:28.745 --> 01:18:30.162
Goodbye, Sasha.

01:18:31.623 --> 01:18:33.040
I said, goodbye.

01:18:51.560 --> 01:18:53.978
I'm sorry about that.
They mean no harm.

01:18:54.146 --> 01:18:55.896
Don't they?

01:19:09.870 --> 01:19:11.495
Is there something you want?

01:19:11.705 --> 01:19:13.622
Yes. I'd like to talk to you.

01:19:14.750 --> 01:19:16.333
I'd rather not.

01:19:18.879 --> 01:19:21.213
I've often noticed you
at the bookseller's.

01:19:21.381 --> 01:19:23.799
Not many girls in this village
like to read.

01:19:25.385 --> 01:19:28.220
Would you like to borrow this book?

01:19:29.181 --> 01:19:30.765
It's very good.

01:19:34.227 --> 01:19:35.269
No.

01:19:37.856 --> 01:19:38.814
Thank you.

01:19:38.982 --> 01:19:40.107
Why?

01:19:41.318 --> 01:19:42.902
Because I'm not Jewish?

01:19:45.155 --> 01:19:46.781
Do you feel about me

01:19:46.948 --> 01:19:48.908
the way they feel about you?

01:19:49.868 --> 01:19:51.494
I didn't think you would.

01:19:53.872 --> 01:19:55.581
And what do you know about me?

01:19:57.375 --> 01:19:59.084
Let me tell you about myself.

01:20:00.378 --> 01:20:02.463
I'm a pleasant fellow.

01:20:02.631 --> 01:20:03.672
Charming,

01:20:03.840 --> 01:20:05.424
honest,

01:20:05.592 --> 01:20:07.551
ambitious,

01:20:07.719 --> 01:20:09.053
quite bright,

01:20:09.221 --> 01:20:10.805
and very modest.

01:20:20.565 --> 01:20:21.732
Go ahead.

01:20:22.234 --> 01:20:23.317
Take the book,

01:20:23.485 --> 01:20:25.569
and after you return it,

01:20:25.737 --> 01:20:27.613
I'll ask you how you like it,

01:20:27.781 --> 01:20:29.907
and we can talk about it for a while.

01:20:30.700 --> 01:20:32.201
Then we can talk about life,

01:20:32.369 --> 01:20:34.745
how we feel about things.

01:20:36.706 --> 01:20:37.790
Here.

01:20:48.176 --> 01:20:49.760
Thank you.

01:20:53.348 --> 01:20:54.932
Good day, Chava.

01:20:55.100 --> 01:20:56.392
Good day.

01:20:56.560 --> 01:21:04.817
Fyedka.

01:21:46.735 --> 01:21:48.485
- Help!
- Tevye.

01:21:48.653 --> 01:21:49.653
Help! Help! Help!

01:21:49.821 --> 01:21:50.779
Tevye, what's the matter with you?

01:21:50.947 --> 01:21:51.906
Motel... Tzeitel... Help!

01:21:52.073 --> 01:21:54.992
Wake up! What is the matter with you?
Wake up!

01:21:55.869 --> 01:21:57.119
Where is she?

01:21:57.287 --> 01:21:58.704
- Where? Where? Who?
- Where is she?

01:21:58.872 --> 01:22:00.664
Where is who?
What are you talking about?

01:22:00.832 --> 01:22:03.584
Fruma Sarah, Fruma Sarah,
Lazar Wolf's first wife.

01:22:03.752 --> 01:22:05.336
She was standing here a minute ago.

01:22:05.503 --> 01:22:07.713
What are you talking about?

01:22:07.881 --> 01:22:10.758
Fruma Sarah has been dead for years.

01:22:11.843 --> 01:22:13.928
- You must have been dreaming.
- Yes. Yes.

01:22:14.095 --> 01:22:16.764
- Shah. Shah.
- Yes.

01:22:17.265 --> 01:22:19.016
Now,

01:22:19.184 --> 01:22:21.018
tell me what you dreamt,

01:22:21.186 --> 01:22:23.729
and I'll tell you what it meant.

01:22:24.522 --> 01:22:26.023
It was terrible.

01:22:26.191 --> 01:22:27.775
- Tell me.
- All right.

01:22:28.652 --> 01:22:30.945
Only don't be frightened!

01:22:34.157 --> 01:22:36.700
In the beginning,

01:22:36.868 --> 01:22:38.994
I dreamt that

01:22:40.872 --> 01:22:42.373
we were having

01:22:43.708 --> 01:22:46.126
a celebration of some kind.

01:22:49.214 --> 01:22:51.757
Everybody we knew,

01:22:51.925 --> 01:22:54.343
all of our beloved departed,

01:22:55.178 --> 01:22:56.929
were there.

01:22:58.848 --> 01:22:59.890
All of them.

01:23:01.559 --> 01:23:06.105
Even your great uncle Mordechai
was there,

01:23:08.358 --> 01:23:10.693
and your cousin Rachel was there.

01:23:10.860 --> 01:23:13.278
And in the middle of the dream,

01:23:13.446 --> 01:23:15.906
in walks your grandmother Tzeitel,

01:23:16.074 --> 01:23:17.533
may she rest in peace.

01:23:17.701 --> 01:23:20.244
Grandmother Tzeitel!
How did she look?

01:23:20.412 --> 01:23:22.997
Well, for a woman
who's dead 30 years,

01:23:23.164 --> 01:23:24.665
she looked very good.

01:23:25.792 --> 01:23:28.544
Naturally, I went up to greet her.

01:23:42.517 --> 01:23:43.517
Motel?

01:23:56.990 --> 01:23:59.033
Tailor? She must've heard wrong.

01:23:59.200 --> 01:24:00.159
She meant the butcher.

01:24:00.326 --> 01:24:01.326
I'll tell her.

01:24:43.787 --> 01:24:45.662
- Stop it!
- We announced it already.

01:24:45.830 --> 01:24:47.831
We made a bargain with the butcher.

01:24:57.092 --> 01:24:58.133
Stop it.

01:24:58.301 --> 01:24:59.259
Listen to me!

01:24:59.427 --> 01:25:00.719
But he is a butcher!

01:25:00.887 --> 01:25:02.221
Tell them!

01:25:02.388 --> 01:25:03.806
His name is Lazar Wolf!

01:25:29.582 --> 01:25:30.916
Here she comes.

01:25:42.011 --> 01:25:43.428
Tevye!

01:26:46.201 --> 01:26:47.326
Shah!

01:27:32.288 --> 01:27:33.622
Jump!

01:27:45.551 --> 01:27:47.803
Evil spirit, away!

01:27:47.971 --> 01:27:50.514
Such an evil spirit.

01:27:50.682 --> 01:27:52.432
May it sink back into the earth.

01:27:54.519 --> 01:27:56.853
Such a dark and horrible dream.

01:27:57.897 --> 01:27:59.690
And to think it was brought on

01:27:59.857 --> 01:28:02.150
because you went to see that butcher.

01:28:02.318 --> 01:28:04.486
Tevye, Tevye,

01:28:04.654 --> 01:28:07.572
my grandmother Tzeitel,
may she rest in peace,

01:28:07.740 --> 01:28:11.410
took the trouble to come
all the way from the other world

01:28:11.577 --> 01:28:13.161
to tell us about the tailor.

01:28:13.329 --> 01:28:15.205
All I can say is that it's for the best

01:28:15.373 --> 01:28:17.416
and couldn't possibly be any better.

01:28:17.583 --> 01:28:19.209
- But, Golde...
- Amen.

01:28:19.377 --> 01:28:20.877
Amen.

01:29:31.449 --> 01:29:33.408
Do you like these troublemakers,

01:29:33.576 --> 01:29:35.702
these Christ killers?

01:29:35.870 --> 01:29:36.870
Of course not.

01:29:38.206 --> 01:29:40.832
I just meant
that things have been peaceful here.

01:29:45.296 --> 01:29:47.631
I have other villages to visit.

01:29:47.799 --> 01:29:49.299
If you don't want to follow orders,

01:29:49.467 --> 01:29:51.927
we shall get someone else who will.

01:29:52.095 --> 01:29:53.762
No, no, no, no, sir.

01:29:54.138 --> 01:29:55.680
I'll take care of it, of course.

01:31:51.672 --> 01:31:53.507
Quiet down!

01:31:53.674 --> 01:31:57.260
Quiet down!

01:37:13.828 --> 01:37:15.161
Quiet down!

01:37:15.496 --> 01:37:16.788
Quiet down!

01:37:22.920 --> 01:37:24.379
Quiet down!

01:40:06.917 --> 01:40:08.751
It was beautiful. Really beautiful.

01:40:10.879 --> 01:40:13.006
Take your places, everybody.

01:40:13.173 --> 01:40:14.132
Quiet!

01:40:14.299 --> 01:40:15.675
- Quiet!
- Quiet down!

01:40:15.843 --> 01:40:20.096
Quiet down!

01:40:24.935 --> 01:40:26.978
The newlyweds,

01:40:27.146 --> 01:40:28.771
friends.

01:40:28.939 --> 01:40:32.191
We are gathered here
to share in the joys

01:40:32.359 --> 01:40:35.611
of the newlyweds, Motel and Tzeitel.

01:40:35.779 --> 01:40:38.948
May they live together
to a ripe old age.

01:40:39.116 --> 01:40:40.658
Amen.

01:40:40.826 --> 01:40:41.826
- Amen.
- Amen.

01:40:41.994 --> 01:40:43.870
And now I want to say...

01:40:45.831 --> 01:40:46.831
Reb Nachum!

01:40:47.791 --> 01:40:50.293
Please! Not here!

01:40:50.836 --> 01:40:53.838
Now I'd like to announce
that the bride's parents

01:40:54.006 --> 01:40:56.382
are giving the newlyweds the following.

01:40:56.550 --> 01:40:58.634
A new feather bed,

01:40:58.802 --> 01:40:59.761
two pillows...

01:40:59.928 --> 01:41:00.970
Goose pillows.

01:41:01.138 --> 01:41:02.638
Goose pillows,

01:41:02.806 --> 01:41:05.558
a Sabbath tablecloth,

01:41:05.726 --> 01:41:08.352
and a pair of candlesticks.

01:41:11.148 --> 01:41:12.482
Quiet!

01:41:13.233 --> 01:41:14.817
Now.

01:41:14.985 --> 01:41:18.071
We are just here on earth
for a short visit.

01:41:18.655 --> 01:41:21.866
Even the great and wealthy must die.

01:41:22.659 --> 01:41:23.659
In fact,

01:41:23.827 --> 01:41:27.330
if the rich could hire others
to die for them,

01:41:27.498 --> 01:41:30.166
we, the poor,
would all make a nice living.

01:41:32.336 --> 01:41:34.879
Well put.

01:41:35.839 --> 01:41:37.048
Lazar Wolf.

01:41:37.800 --> 01:41:39.175
Talking about the rich.

01:41:40.344 --> 01:41:43.346
There sits our good friend Lazar Wolf.

01:41:43.764 --> 01:41:46.641
Lazar has everything in the world

01:41:46.975 --> 01:41:48.059
except a bride.

01:41:50.521 --> 01:41:51.521
But

01:41:51.688 --> 01:41:54.107
Lazar has no ill feelings.

01:41:54.316 --> 01:41:55.608
In fact, he told me

01:41:55.776 --> 01:41:58.027
that he has a gift for the newlyweds

01:41:58.195 --> 01:41:59.862
that he himself wants to announce.

01:42:00.030 --> 01:42:02.949
Come on, Lazar. Come on.

01:42:06.495 --> 01:42:08.538
Just like he said,

01:42:08.705 --> 01:42:11.707
I have no ill feelings.

01:42:11.875 --> 01:42:13.835
What's done

01:42:14.002 --> 01:42:15.211
is done.

01:42:15.796 --> 01:42:18.381
I am giving the newlyweds

01:42:18.799 --> 01:42:20.842
five chickens,

01:42:21.176 --> 01:42:24.679
one for each of the first five Sabbaths

01:42:24.847 --> 01:42:27.765
of their wedded life.

01:42:35.816 --> 01:42:37.567
Reb Lazar Wolf,

01:42:37.734 --> 01:42:40.236
you are a decent man,

01:42:40.404 --> 01:42:42.738
and on behalf of my daughter

01:42:42.906 --> 01:42:44.740
and her new husband...

01:42:44.908 --> 01:42:45.908
Sit down.

01:42:46.076 --> 01:42:47.535
I accept your gift.

01:42:48.954 --> 01:42:50.997
There is a famous saying that...

01:42:51.165 --> 01:42:54.500
Reb Tevye,
I am not marrying your daughter.

01:42:54.668 --> 01:42:56.919
I don't have to listen to your sayings.

01:42:57.087 --> 01:42:58.796
Why, if you would only listen
for one moment.

01:42:58.964 --> 01:43:00.631
Why should I listen to you?

01:43:00.799 --> 01:43:02.758
A man who breaks an agreement!

01:43:03.886 --> 01:43:05.511
I have a right to talk!

01:43:05.679 --> 01:43:06.929
What right? It's not your wedding.

01:43:07.097 --> 01:43:08.431
It should have been!

01:43:08.599 --> 01:43:10.349
But it's not, thank goodness.

01:43:10.517 --> 01:43:12.185
Don't shame Reb Tevye
at his daughter's wedding.

01:43:12.352 --> 01:43:15.313
He shamed me
in front of the whole village.

01:43:15.480 --> 01:43:17.648
- He shamed me!
- Praise God, he did.

01:43:20.819 --> 01:43:22.778
Rabbi, say something.

01:43:24.031 --> 01:43:25.615
I say...

01:43:25.782 --> 01:43:27.033
Yeah.

01:43:27.201 --> 01:43:29.952
I say, let's sit down.

01:43:32.122 --> 01:43:35.708
Yes, yes. Well,
we all heard the words of the rabbi.

01:43:36.251 --> 01:43:37.585
Let's sit down.

01:43:37.753 --> 01:43:40.421
Now I'm going to sing a little song.

01:43:49.932 --> 01:43:52.141
I don't want that. Leave me alone.

01:43:55.520 --> 01:43:58.564
You can keep your diseased chickens!

01:43:58.732 --> 01:44:01.317
You leave my chickens out of this!

01:44:01.485 --> 01:44:02.818
We made a bargain!

01:44:02.986 --> 01:44:04.654
But the terms weren't settled.

01:44:04.821 --> 01:44:06.405
We drank on it!

01:44:07.658 --> 01:44:08.824
You just sit down, all right?

01:44:08.992 --> 01:44:11.744
Once a butcher, always a butcher.

01:44:11.912 --> 01:44:13.371
Once a liar, always a liar.

01:44:13.538 --> 01:44:14.914
You just sit down, all right?

01:44:16.041 --> 01:44:18.334
Those happen to be my chickens.
That man...

01:44:19.670 --> 01:44:20.920
I had a sign!

01:44:21.088 --> 01:44:23.256
Quiet, I'm singing.

01:44:25.008 --> 01:44:27.134
Quiet! Quiet!

01:44:27.970 --> 01:44:29.762
What's all the screaming about?

01:44:30.305 --> 01:44:31.430
"They drank on it. "

01:44:31.598 --> 01:44:32.640
"An agreement. "

01:44:32.808 --> 01:44:34.016
"A sign. "

01:44:34.184 --> 01:44:35.685
It's all nonsense.

01:44:35.852 --> 01:44:38.854
Tzeitel wanted to marry Motel
and not Lazar.

01:44:39.022 --> 01:44:41.107
A young girl decides for herself?

01:44:41.275 --> 01:44:43.192
Why not? They love each other.

01:44:43.360 --> 01:44:44.777
Love? Terrible.

01:44:44.945 --> 01:44:46.112
He's a radical.

01:44:46.280 --> 01:44:47.989
Musicians, play.

01:44:48.156 --> 01:44:51.033
It's a dance. Everybody dance.

01:44:51.201 --> 01:44:52.702
It's a wedding.

01:44:52.869 --> 01:44:53.869
Some wedding.

01:44:54.037 --> 01:44:55.871
- What is he doing?
- Perchik!

01:44:56.039 --> 01:44:57.373
Who will dance with me?

01:44:57.874 --> 01:44:58.833
Obscene.

01:44:59.001 --> 01:45:00.960
- That's a sin!
- It's no sin to dance at a wedding.

01:45:01.128 --> 01:45:02.670
- But with a girl?
- Yes, with a girl.

01:45:02.838 --> 01:45:05.715
That's what comes
of taking a wild man into your house.

01:45:05.882 --> 01:45:07.300
He is not a wild man.

01:45:07.467 --> 01:45:09.260
His ideas are
a little bit different, but...

01:45:09.428 --> 01:45:10.678
Perchik, come over here.

01:45:10.846 --> 01:45:12.054
- Come over here.
- It's a sin.

01:45:12.222 --> 01:45:14.598
It's no sin. Ask the rabbi.

01:45:14.766 --> 01:45:16.726
- Go on, ask him.
- Ask the rabbi!

01:45:18.478 --> 01:45:19.729
Well, Rabbi?

01:45:20.439 --> 01:45:21.897
- Dancing?
- Yeah.

01:45:22.357 --> 01:45:25.735
Well, it's not exactly forbidden, but...

01:45:25.902 --> 01:45:28.738
Well, there you see!
It's not forbidden.

01:45:28.905 --> 01:45:29.905
And it's no sin.

01:45:30.073 --> 01:45:32.783
Now, who will dance with me?

01:45:39.583 --> 01:45:41.375
He's asking her to dance.

01:45:44.880 --> 01:45:46.088
Hodel!

01:45:46.381 --> 01:45:48.257
It's only a dance, Mama.

01:45:51.928 --> 01:45:52.928
Play!

01:46:00.896 --> 01:46:02.355
Say something.

01:46:10.322 --> 01:46:12.615
Tevye?
- She's dancing with a man!

01:46:12.783 --> 01:46:15.409
I can see that
she is dancing with a man!

01:46:19.623 --> 01:46:21.916
And I'm going to dance with my wife!

01:46:22.084 --> 01:46:23.292
Tevye!

01:46:24.669 --> 01:46:25.628
Mama, no.

01:46:25.796 --> 01:46:27.922
Golde! Golde!

01:46:29.299 --> 01:46:30.716
Golde!

01:46:32.886 --> 01:46:33.969
Motel!

01:46:34.137 --> 01:46:35.137
- No. I will not.
- Tzeitel!

01:46:35.305 --> 01:46:36.680
Motel!

01:46:42.938 --> 01:46:44.021
See that?

01:46:44.189 --> 01:46:46.649
You are responsible for that,

01:46:46.817 --> 01:46:48.567
and I can't stand it!

01:46:48.735 --> 01:46:49.944
I tried my best.

01:46:59.704 --> 01:47:01.038
Everybody, dance!

01:47:09.172 --> 01:47:10.506
Look.

01:47:20.600 --> 01:47:24.437
It's all right. Dance, Rabbi, dance.

01:48:37.844 --> 01:48:39.178
Perchik!

01:48:44.392 --> 01:48:45.935
All right! Enough!

01:48:52.567 --> 01:48:53.943
I said, enough!

01:48:54.110 --> 01:48:55.194
Come!

01:49:12.462 --> 01:49:15.881
Orders are orders, understand?

01:49:52.669 --> 01:49:53.669
Well,

01:49:56.673 --> 01:49:58.799
why are you all standing around?

01:50:00.885 --> 01:50:07.850
Clean up!

01:54:02.919 --> 01:54:05.504
Troubles, troubles.

01:54:07.257 --> 01:54:09.925
That's all you hear from me, right?

01:54:10.593 --> 01:54:14.346
But who else can we simple people

01:54:14.514 --> 01:54:16.765
take our troubles to?

01:54:18.685 --> 01:54:21.603
You know, sometimes I wonder,

01:54:21.771 --> 01:54:24.314
who do you take your troubles to?

01:54:28.778 --> 01:54:30.112
Go away.

01:54:36.119 --> 01:54:37.411
Anyway,

01:54:37.579 --> 01:54:40.998
Motel and Tzeitel have been married
for some time now.

01:54:43.251 --> 01:54:45.127
They work very hard.

01:54:46.504 --> 01:54:47.546
And

01:54:48.339 --> 01:54:51.633
they are as poor as squirrels in winter.

01:54:53.511 --> 01:54:57.556
But they're so happy
they don't know how miserable they are.

01:55:05.523 --> 01:55:08.317
Motel keeps talking about
a sewing machine.

01:55:09.485 --> 01:55:10.694
I know.

01:55:11.029 --> 01:55:13.030
You are very busy now.

01:55:13.323 --> 01:55:15.824
Wars, revolutions, floods, plagues.

01:55:15.992 --> 01:55:17.701
All those little things

01:55:17.994 --> 01:55:20.495
that bring people back to you.

01:55:21.331 --> 01:55:23.415
But couldn't you take a second

01:55:23.583 --> 01:55:26.001
and get him his sewing machine?

01:55:28.338 --> 01:55:31.548
Yeah, and while you are
in the neighborhood,

01:55:33.259 --> 01:55:36.219
as you can see, my horse's leg is...

01:55:37.388 --> 01:55:39.306
Am I bothering you too much?

01:55:39.599 --> 01:55:41.099
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

01:55:41.267 --> 01:55:43.352
As the Good Book says...

01:55:44.687 --> 01:55:48.690
Why should I tell you
what the Good Book says?

01:55:56.199 --> 01:55:57.991
So you must go away?

01:55:59.202 --> 01:56:00.243
Yes.

01:56:00.870 --> 01:56:02.162
But so soon?

01:56:03.373 --> 01:56:04.456
Yes.

01:56:05.458 --> 01:56:06.792
Tomorrow morning.

01:56:12.215 --> 01:56:13.173
Alone?

01:56:13.341 --> 01:56:14.716
No. With a few friends,

01:56:14.884 --> 01:56:16.301
and, of course, we'll be joining others.

01:56:16.469 --> 01:56:18.345
- Where?
- In the city. Kiev.

01:56:19.973 --> 01:56:21.515
Hodel,

01:56:21.683 --> 01:56:24.267
there are some things
I cannot tell even you.

01:56:26.479 --> 01:56:27.688
I see.

01:56:29.357 --> 01:56:30.983
Please don't be upset.

01:56:31.150 --> 01:56:32.567
Why should I be upset?

01:56:32.735 --> 01:56:33.694
If you must leave, you must.

01:56:33.861 --> 01:56:34.945
I do have to.

01:56:35.321 --> 01:56:36.279
Couldn't you have told me?

01:56:36.447 --> 01:56:39.241
Great changes are about to take place
in this country.

01:56:39.409 --> 01:56:40.617
Tremendous changes.

01:56:41.411 --> 01:56:43.745
But they can't happen by themselves.

01:56:43.913 --> 01:56:46.039
So, naturally,
you feel that you personally have to...

01:56:46.207 --> 01:56:49.126
Not only me, many people, Jews,
Gentiles.

01:56:49.293 --> 01:56:51.003
Many people hate what's going on.

01:56:51.170 --> 01:56:52.254
Don't you understand?

01:56:52.547 --> 01:56:54.131
I understand. Of course.

01:56:55.341 --> 01:56:56.675
You want to leave.

01:56:58.094 --> 01:57:00.387
Then, goodbye.

01:57:01.597 --> 01:57:03.140
Hodel, listen to me.

01:57:03.766 --> 01:57:05.892
I have work to do.

01:57:06.060 --> 01:57:08.603
The greatest work a man can do.

01:57:11.941 --> 01:57:13.775
Don't you understand?

01:57:15.778 --> 01:57:17.362
Yes, Perchik.

01:57:22.243 --> 01:57:23.452
Hodel.

01:57:23.619 --> 01:57:24.786
Hodel!

01:57:25.496 --> 01:57:27.039
Hodel, wait!

01:57:27.665 --> 01:57:29.416
Hodel, there's a question,

01:57:30.043 --> 01:57:31.960
a certain question
I wish to discuss with you.

01:57:32.128 --> 01:57:33.086
Yes?

01:57:33.254 --> 01:57:34.796
It's a political question.

01:57:34.964 --> 01:57:36.048
What is it?

01:57:36.257 --> 01:57:38.300
The question of marriage.

01:57:42.305 --> 01:57:43.930
Is this a political question?

01:57:44.974 --> 01:57:46.058
Well, yes.

01:57:47.143 --> 01:57:48.602
Yes, everything's political.

01:57:50.021 --> 01:57:52.189
Well, like everything else,
the relationship between

01:57:52.356 --> 01:57:53.690
a man and a woman has

01:57:53.858 --> 01:57:55.567
a socioeconomic base.

01:57:57.403 --> 01:58:00.405
Marriage must be founded on

01:58:00.907 --> 01:58:02.657
mutual beliefs,

01:58:02.825 --> 01:58:05.243
a common attitude
and philosophy towards society.

01:58:05.411 --> 01:58:07.162
And affection.

01:58:08.164 --> 01:58:09.498
Well, yes, of course.

01:58:10.500 --> 01:58:12.584
That is also necessary.

01:58:13.461 --> 01:58:15.045
Such a relationship

01:58:15.213 --> 01:58:18.256
can have positive social values.

01:58:18.424 --> 01:58:21.051
When two people face the world with

01:58:21.219 --> 01:58:23.095
unity and solidarity.

01:58:23.262 --> 01:58:24.513
And affection.

01:58:24.680 --> 01:58:26.890
Yes, that is an important element.

01:58:30.895 --> 01:58:32.145
At any rate, I...

01:58:33.147 --> 01:58:35.357
I personally am in favor of such a

01:58:36.400 --> 01:58:37.901
socioeconomic relationship.

01:58:41.364 --> 01:58:42.405
I think

01:58:44.951 --> 01:58:46.535
you are asking me to marry you.

01:58:49.455 --> 01:58:51.164
Well,

01:58:51.332 --> 01:58:52.874
in a theoretical sense,

01:58:53.709 --> 01:58:56.545
yes, I am.

01:58:57.713 --> 01:58:59.297
I was hoping you were.

01:59:04.220 --> 01:59:05.720
I'm very happy, Hodel.

01:59:07.390 --> 01:59:09.516
I'm very, very happy.

01:59:41.090 --> 01:59:43.383
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon, Reb Tevye.

01:59:44.302 --> 01:59:45.719
I have some bad news.

01:59:46.137 --> 01:59:47.179
What?

01:59:47.430 --> 01:59:48.597
I must leave here.

01:59:48.764 --> 01:59:49.764
When?

01:59:50.099 --> 01:59:51.183
Tomorrow morning.

01:59:51.642 --> 01:59:54.477
I'm sorry to hear that, Perchik.

01:59:54.896 --> 01:59:55.979
We'll all miss you.

01:59:56.147 --> 01:59:57.564
But I also have some good news.

01:59:57.732 --> 01:59:58.690
Good.

01:59:58.858 --> 01:59:59.941
You can congratulate me.

02:00:00.109 --> 02:00:01.610
Congratulations. What for?

02:00:01.777 --> 02:00:03.069
We are engaged.

02:00:04.238 --> 02:00:05.197
Engaged?

02:00:05.364 --> 02:00:06.948
Yes, Papa. We're engaged.

02:00:07.241 --> 02:00:08.658
No, you're not.

02:00:08.826 --> 02:00:11.995
I know you like him, and he likes you,

02:00:12.163 --> 02:00:15.624
but you're going away,
and you're staying here.

02:00:16.125 --> 02:00:17.584
So have a nice trip, Perchik.

02:00:17.752 --> 02:00:20.879
And I hope you'll be very happy,
and my answer is no.

02:00:21.047 --> 02:00:22.464
Please, Papa. You don't understand.

02:00:22.632 --> 02:00:24.257
I understand, I understand.

02:00:24.425 --> 02:00:26.426
I gave my permission
to Motel and Tzeitel,

02:00:26.594 --> 02:00:28.803
so you feel you also have a right.

02:00:29.805 --> 02:00:32.057
I'm sorry, Perchik. I like you.

02:00:33.267 --> 02:00:36.228
But you're going away,
so go in good health.

02:00:36.437 --> 02:00:37.854
And my answer is still no.

02:00:38.022 --> 02:00:39.522
You don't understand, Papa.

02:00:39.690 --> 02:00:42.317
And you are not listening. I said no.

02:00:42.693 --> 02:00:43.944
Reb Tevye,

02:00:44.111 --> 02:00:45.987
we are not asking for your permission,

02:00:46.155 --> 02:00:47.656
only for your blessing.

02:00:49.283 --> 02:00:51.117
We are going to get married.

02:00:58.167 --> 02:01:00.669
You are not asking for my permission?

02:01:04.632 --> 02:01:07.092
But we would like your blessing, Papa.

02:01:12.014 --> 02:01:14.849
I can't believe my own ears.

02:01:15.017 --> 02:01:17.602
My blessing? For what?

02:01:55.558 --> 02:01:57.517
Where has it led? To this!

02:01:57.977 --> 02:02:00.478
A man tells me he is getting married.

02:02:00.730 --> 02:02:02.939
He doesn't ask me. He tells me!

02:02:03.190 --> 02:02:04.983
But, first, he abandons you.

02:02:05.359 --> 02:02:07.402
He is not abandoning me, Papa.

02:02:07.570 --> 02:02:09.946
As soon as I can,
I will send for her and marry her.

02:02:11.574 --> 02:02:12.824
I love her.

02:02:16.245 --> 02:02:17.912
He loves her.

02:02:19.415 --> 02:02:20.457
Love!

02:02:21.334 --> 02:02:22.584
It's a new style.

02:02:24.128 --> 02:02:25.754
On the other hand,

02:02:25.921 --> 02:02:29.257
our old ways were once new,
weren't they?

02:02:30.426 --> 02:02:31.509
On the other hand,

02:02:31.677 --> 02:02:33.803
they decided without parents,

02:02:33.971 --> 02:02:35.597
without a matchmaker.

02:02:37.558 --> 02:02:39.267
On the other hand,

02:02:39.435 --> 02:02:42.020
did Adam and Eve have a matchmaker?

02:02:44.440 --> 02:02:46.191
Yes.

02:02:46.359 --> 02:02:47.442
They did.

02:02:48.402 --> 02:02:52.447
And it seems these two
have the same matchmaker.

02:02:57.119 --> 02:02:59.496
They're going over my head.

02:02:59.663 --> 02:03:02.457
Unheard of, absurd.

02:03:23.854 --> 02:03:27.607
Tradition!

02:03:33.280 --> 02:03:35.281
Well, children, I have decided

02:03:35.449 --> 02:03:38.618
to give you
my blessing and my permission.

02:03:40.830 --> 02:03:42.497
Thank you, Papa.

02:03:44.625 --> 02:03:46.000
What else could I do?

02:03:46.168 --> 02:03:47.961
Thank you, Papa.

02:03:48.129 --> 02:03:51.172
"Thank you, Papa"?

02:03:52.842 --> 02:03:54.968
What am I going to tell your mother?

02:03:55.511 --> 02:03:57.011
Another dream?

02:04:00.683 --> 02:04:02.142
Perhaps if you tell her

02:04:02.309 --> 02:04:04.310
that I'm going to visit a rich uncle.

02:04:04.520 --> 02:04:05.770
Perchik.

02:04:06.313 --> 02:04:08.398
Please. I can handle my own wife.

02:04:09.358 --> 02:04:10.650
Golde.

02:04:11.193 --> 02:04:12.360
Golde!

02:04:13.070 --> 02:04:14.028
Golde...

02:04:14.196 --> 02:04:15.321
Hmm?

02:04:17.533 --> 02:04:18.700
Hello, Golde.

02:04:18.868 --> 02:04:20.326
Have some soup.

02:04:24.373 --> 02:04:25.457
Golde,

02:04:27.418 --> 02:04:30.378
I have something very important
to tell you.

02:04:30.546 --> 02:04:31.671
Have the soup.

02:04:32.548 --> 02:04:33.590
It's warm.

02:04:38.554 --> 02:04:39.554
Golde,

02:04:41.390 --> 02:04:43.391
I've just met

02:04:43.559 --> 02:04:45.101
Perchik and Hodel.

02:04:45.269 --> 02:04:46.311
Well?

02:04:46.562 --> 02:04:49.898
Well...

02:04:51.192 --> 02:04:54.736
Well, they seem to be
very fond of each other.

02:04:54.987 --> 02:04:57.363
So? What do you mean?

02:04:57.865 --> 02:04:58.990
So...

02:05:02.161 --> 02:05:04.245
So I've decided

02:05:04.413 --> 02:05:07.582
to give them my permission
to become engaged.

02:05:07.750 --> 02:05:09.501
- I'll eat later.
- What?

02:05:09.668 --> 02:05:12.712
Just like that? Without even asking me?

02:05:13.255 --> 02:05:15.131
Who asks you?

02:05:16.467 --> 02:05:17.842
I am the father.

02:05:18.010 --> 02:05:19.385
Who is he?

02:05:19.553 --> 02:05:23.556
A pauper!
He has nothing, absolutely nothing.

02:05:26.268 --> 02:05:27.977
I wouldn't say that.

02:05:31.440 --> 02:05:35.068
I hear he has a rich uncle.

02:05:35.236 --> 02:05:37.862
A rich uncle!

02:05:42.618 --> 02:05:43.660
Golde.

02:05:46.455 --> 02:05:48.331
Golde, he is a good man.

02:05:49.708 --> 02:05:50.792
I like him.

02:05:50.960 --> 02:05:53.545
He's a little crazy, but I like him.

02:05:55.130 --> 02:05:56.214
And

02:05:57.049 --> 02:05:59.008
what's more important,

02:06:01.136 --> 02:06:02.428
Hodel likes him.

02:06:04.890 --> 02:06:06.182
Hodel loves him.

02:06:09.853 --> 02:06:11.271
So, what can we do?

02:06:14.233 --> 02:06:16.401
It's a new world, Golde.

02:06:18.445 --> 02:06:19.696
A new world.

02:06:22.825 --> 02:06:23.950
Love.

02:06:28.747 --> 02:06:29.956
Golde?

02:06:31.000 --> 02:06:32.834
Do you love me?

02:06:34.253 --> 02:06:35.461
Do I what?

02:06:52.146 --> 02:06:53.605
Maybe it's indigestion.

02:06:53.772 --> 02:06:55.481
No, Golde,

02:06:55.649 --> 02:06:57.609
I'm asking you a question.

02:07:01.196 --> 02:07:02.322
You're a fool.

02:07:02.489 --> 02:07:03.698
I know.

02:07:10.122 --> 02:07:11.247
Well?

02:07:25.554 --> 02:07:26.721
Golde.

02:07:42.738 --> 02:07:44.739
And now I'm asking, Golde.

02:07:48.577 --> 02:07:49.661
I'm your wife.

02:07:49.828 --> 02:07:51.079
I know.

02:07:58.462 --> 02:07:59.545
Well?

02:08:19.608 --> 02:08:21.025
I suppose I do.

02:09:20.502 --> 02:09:22.128
Halt.

02:09:29.595 --> 02:09:31.053
There is no authority

02:09:31.221 --> 02:09:33.306
above the will of the people,

02:09:33.474 --> 02:09:36.142
and we are the people.

02:09:36.310 --> 02:09:38.686
We are Russia!

02:09:41.523 --> 02:09:45.109
The time has come, and the time is now.

02:09:46.487 --> 02:09:48.821
Now we stand here before you, not one,

02:09:48.989 --> 02:09:50.198
but many.

02:09:50.365 --> 02:09:52.575
Many like you.

02:09:52.743 --> 02:09:57.497
Students, workers,
striving for a better life.

02:09:58.624 --> 02:10:01.375
And I urge you, fellow workers,

02:10:01.543 --> 02:10:03.586
to band together with us.

02:10:04.254 --> 02:10:05.588
Join our movement.

02:10:05.923 --> 02:10:07.173
In the factories!

02:10:08.717 --> 02:10:09.801
In the schools!

02:10:11.094 --> 02:10:12.386
In the army!

02:10:13.889 --> 02:10:15.932
The winds of freedom

02:10:16.099 --> 02:10:19.727
are beginning to blow all over Russia.

02:10:39.248 --> 02:10:41.040
Halt.

02:10:49.466 --> 02:10:52.343
Wait! Wait! Stand!

02:10:52.511 --> 02:10:53.594
Come back!

02:10:54.096 --> 02:10:56.180
Wait! Wait, fellow workers.

02:10:56.515 --> 02:10:58.516
Don't let them break up our meeting.

02:10:59.309 --> 02:11:00.768
We have our rights!

02:11:17.327 --> 02:11:18.286
So I found a girl...

02:11:18.453 --> 02:11:19.912
Good day to you, Esther.

02:11:21.290 --> 02:11:24.375
She didn't like her. Just a minute.

02:11:24.543 --> 02:11:26.252
Tzeitel. Tzeitel.

02:11:26.420 --> 02:11:27.378
Good day, Yente.

02:11:27.546 --> 02:11:31.340
Tzeitel, I happened to stop
in the post office today

02:11:31.508 --> 02:11:33.885
to say hello, see what's what.

02:11:34.052 --> 02:11:36.596
It doesn't cost anything to be friendly.

02:11:37.097 --> 02:11:39.265
So few people are like that.

02:11:39.433 --> 02:11:40.474
Yeah, yeah.

02:11:40.642 --> 02:11:41.809
People.

02:11:41.977 --> 02:11:43.477
I tell you, Tzeitel,

02:11:43.645 --> 02:11:45.313
if God lived on Earth,

02:11:45.480 --> 02:11:47.690
people would break his windows.

02:11:47.983 --> 02:11:49.317
So you went to the post office?

02:11:49.484 --> 02:11:51.402
Yes, and the postman told me

02:11:51.570 --> 02:11:53.988
there was a letter there
for your sister, Hodel.

02:11:54.156 --> 02:11:55.489
Thanks. I'll go get it.

02:11:55.657 --> 02:11:56.699
I got it.

02:11:57.326 --> 02:12:00.202
It's from her intended, Perchik.

02:12:00.370 --> 02:12:01.829
Hodel will be so happy.

02:12:01.997 --> 02:12:04.165
She's been waiting
to hear from him for...

02:12:04.833 --> 02:12:06.000
But it's open.

02:12:06.168 --> 02:12:07.752
So it happened to be open.

02:12:35.072 --> 02:12:37.281
You don't have
to wait for the train, Papa.

02:12:37.449 --> 02:12:39.408
You'll be late for your customers.

02:12:40.369 --> 02:12:41.619
That's all right.

02:12:42.829 --> 02:12:45.164
They will just have to wait for a while.

02:12:55.300 --> 02:12:58.344
Is he in bad trouble,

02:12:58.512 --> 02:13:00.262
that hero of yours?

02:13:04.351 --> 02:13:05.393
Arrested?

02:13:08.480 --> 02:13:09.730
Convicted?

02:13:09.898 --> 02:13:12.775
Yes, but he did nothing wrong.

02:13:12.943 --> 02:13:14.485
He cares nothing for himself.

02:13:14.653 --> 02:13:16.278
Everything he does is for other people.

02:13:16.446 --> 02:13:19.323
Yes, but if he did nothing wrong,

02:13:19.491 --> 02:13:21.242
he wouldn't be in trouble.

02:13:22.077 --> 02:13:24.078
Oh, Papa. How can you say that?

02:13:24.997 --> 02:13:26.998
What wrongs did Joseph do?

02:13:27.916 --> 02:13:29.417
And Abraham and Moses?

02:13:30.419 --> 02:13:32.169
And they had troubles.

02:13:32.713 --> 02:13:34.130
Yes, but...

02:13:35.424 --> 02:13:38.509
But why won't you tell me

02:13:39.511 --> 02:13:41.303
where he is now,

02:13:41.471 --> 02:13:43.389
this Joseph of yours?

02:13:45.559 --> 02:13:47.018
It is far, Papa.

02:13:49.646 --> 02:13:50.980
Terribly far.

02:13:54.943 --> 02:13:56.902
He is in a settlement in Siberia.

02:13:59.239 --> 02:14:00.489
Siberia?

02:14:02.617 --> 02:14:04.118
And he asks you

02:14:04.286 --> 02:14:07.621
to leave your father and mother

02:14:07.789 --> 02:14:11.250
and join him in that frozen wasteland

02:14:11.418 --> 02:14:12.793
and marry him there?

02:14:13.462 --> 02:14:15.171
No, Papa.

02:14:15.338 --> 02:14:17.465
He did not ask me to go.

02:14:18.258 --> 02:14:19.800
I want to go.

02:14:20.552 --> 02:14:22.428
I don't want him to be alone.

02:14:22.804 --> 02:14:25.056
I want to help him in his work.

02:14:25.432 --> 02:14:27.016
Hodel.

02:14:27.184 --> 02:14:28.434
Papa.

02:16:52.745 --> 02:16:54.413
And who, my child,

02:16:54.581 --> 02:16:57.790
will there be to perform a marriage

02:16:57.959 --> 02:17:00.127
there in the wilderness?

02:17:00.754 --> 02:17:02.754
Papa, I promise you,

02:17:03.298 --> 02:17:05.591
we will be married under a canopy.

02:17:06.009 --> 02:17:07.593
Yes, yes.

02:17:08.594 --> 02:17:09.594
Yes.

02:17:11.388 --> 02:17:16.684
No doubt a rabbi or two
were also arrested.

02:18:01.272 --> 02:18:02.522
Papa!

02:18:04.484 --> 02:18:07.361
God alone knows
when we shall see each other again.

02:18:09.489 --> 02:18:11.365
Then,

02:18:11.532 --> 02:18:13.950
we will leave it in his hands.

02:18:51.072 --> 02:18:52.364
Take care of her.

02:18:56.577 --> 02:18:59.413
See that she dresses warm.

02:19:15.513 --> 02:19:20.351
Even though
she only burned his cooking,

02:19:20.518 --> 02:19:22.852
he is permitted to divorce her.

02:19:23.021 --> 02:19:24.103
Just for supper?

02:19:24.272 --> 02:19:26.065
Yes, yes, yes.

02:19:27.609 --> 02:19:29.067
I'm sorry, Rabbi.

02:19:29.235 --> 02:19:32.279
Yes, of course.
What news of the outside world, Avram?

02:19:32.447 --> 02:19:33.781
It's terrible, Rabbi. Terrible.

02:19:33.948 --> 02:19:35.031
Then don't tell me.

02:19:35.450 --> 02:19:36.700
If I want bad news,

02:19:36.868 --> 02:19:39.370
I'll read about Noah and the flood.

02:19:41.581 --> 02:19:43.332
Tell me, Avram,

02:19:43.500 --> 02:19:45.416
surely somewhere

02:19:45.584 --> 02:19:47.795
there are good things happening?

02:19:47.962 --> 02:19:51.590
Can't you buy a paper
that prints those things?

02:19:51.841 --> 02:19:53.801
It's not my fault, Rabbi.

02:19:53.968 --> 02:19:55.260
I only read it.

02:19:55.428 --> 02:19:57.221
Rabbi, Rabbi, did you hear the news?

02:19:57.389 --> 02:19:58.347
More bad news?

02:19:58.515 --> 02:19:59.807
No, good news!

02:19:59.974 --> 02:20:01.433
At Motel's and Tzeitel's,

02:20:01.601 --> 02:20:02.810
a new arrival.

02:20:02.977 --> 02:20:04.853
A new arrival at Motel's and Tzeitel's?

02:20:05.021 --> 02:20:06.063
I'm so excited!

02:20:06.231 --> 02:20:07.648
I must congratulate them!

02:20:08.650 --> 02:20:10.776
- It's wonderful.
- So cute!

02:20:10.944 --> 02:20:14.488
We just heard the good news. Mazel tov!

02:20:14.656 --> 02:20:16.323
Oh, thank you.
Thank you very much.

02:20:16.491 --> 02:20:18.367
- It's a nice thing.
Yes, it is.

02:20:18.535 --> 02:20:20.202
- Very nice.
Thank you.

02:20:20.370 --> 02:20:21.328
What is it?

02:20:21.496 --> 02:20:22.830
It's a sewing machine.

02:20:22.997 --> 02:20:24.331
It's a sewing machine.

02:20:24.499 --> 02:20:26.333
It can work twice as fast.
- Hey.

02:20:26.501 --> 02:20:28.210
You got it!

02:20:28.378 --> 02:20:29.628
I got it!

02:20:30.588 --> 02:20:32.464
- It's beautiful.
I know.

02:20:32.632 --> 02:20:33.590
Have you tried it yet?

02:20:33.758 --> 02:20:34.842
Look.

02:20:36.428 --> 02:20:37.928
- Beautiful.
- I know.

02:20:38.096 --> 02:20:39.680
And in less than a minute.

02:20:39.848 --> 02:20:42.266
See how close and even
the stitches are?

02:20:42.434 --> 02:20:44.143
- It's beautiful.
- I know.

02:20:44.310 --> 02:20:46.895
From now on,
my clothes will be perfect.

02:20:47.063 --> 02:20:48.397
Made by machine.

02:20:48.565 --> 02:20:51.191
No more handmade clothes.

02:20:52.527 --> 02:20:54.236
Look, Mama. Look!

02:20:54.404 --> 02:20:55.404
Oh!

02:20:57.240 --> 02:20:58.699
It's wonderful.

02:20:59.409 --> 02:21:00.742
Mazel tov, Motel!

02:21:00.910 --> 02:21:02.035
The rabbi!

02:21:02.203 --> 02:21:03.704
The rabbi! The rabbi!

02:21:08.501 --> 02:21:11.211
Rabbi, is there a blessing
for a sewing machine?

02:21:11.588 --> 02:21:14.423
There is a blessing for everything.

02:21:22.891 --> 02:21:23.849
- Amen.
- Amen.

02:21:24.017 --> 02:21:24.975
That's your new arrival?

02:21:25.143 --> 02:21:27.227
What is it, a boy or a girl?

02:21:32.400 --> 02:21:35.402
Yankeleh.

02:21:37.614 --> 02:21:39.406
Why isn't he asleep?

02:21:39.574 --> 02:21:41.408
Oh, Mama, but he's wonderful.

02:21:41.576 --> 02:21:42.534
He never cries or...

02:21:42.702 --> 02:21:45.329
Shah! Do you want to invite bad luck?

02:21:47.332 --> 02:21:48.332
Well...

02:21:48.708 --> 02:21:51.251
Well, Motel,

02:21:51.419 --> 02:21:53.462
I never thought
you'd amount to anything.

02:21:54.255 --> 02:21:55.672
But look at you,

02:21:55.840 --> 02:21:58.217
a baby and a sewing machine.

02:21:59.177 --> 02:22:00.761
You're a person.

02:22:01.554 --> 02:22:03.180
Look, I'll show you how it works.

02:22:03.348 --> 02:22:04.723
Go, children.

02:22:06.643 --> 02:22:07.601
Come here.

02:22:07.769 --> 02:22:09.937
- Go, children.
- First you put the cloth in like this.

02:22:10.104 --> 02:22:11.480
It's an amazing thing.

02:22:11.648 --> 02:22:13.982
You work it
with your foot and your hand.

02:22:23.493 --> 02:22:24.952
Your father is coming.

02:22:28.456 --> 02:22:30.791
Chava, let me talk to him.
Let me tell him about us.

02:22:30.959 --> 02:22:33.377
No, Fyedka. That would be
the worst thing. I'm sure of it.

02:22:33.545 --> 02:22:35.462
- But let me try.
- No.

02:22:35.630 --> 02:22:36.964
I'll talk to him.

02:22:37.799 --> 02:22:39.216
I promise.

02:22:46.474 --> 02:22:47.558
Good afternoon, sir.

02:22:49.602 --> 02:22:50.894
Good afternoon.

02:22:55.316 --> 02:22:57.484
It's... It's a cold day, isn't it?

02:22:59.070 --> 02:23:00.153
Mmm.

02:23:03.700 --> 02:23:04.700
Well,

02:23:07.495 --> 02:23:08.495
good day, sir.

02:23:10.999 --> 02:23:12.040
Good day, Chava.

02:23:12.208 --> 02:23:13.542
Good day.

02:23:19.674 --> 02:23:22.634
What were you and he talking about?

02:23:23.511 --> 02:23:25.262
Nothing. We were just talking.

02:23:28.224 --> 02:23:29.349
Good.

02:23:31.853 --> 02:23:33.061
Papa.

02:23:34.522 --> 02:23:36.356
Fyedka and I,

02:23:36.524 --> 02:23:38.692
we've known each other
for a long time now and...

02:23:38.860 --> 02:23:39.860
Chaveleh,

02:23:40.820 --> 02:23:43.322
I would be much happier

02:23:43.489 --> 02:23:46.658
if you would remain friends
from a distance.

02:23:47.368 --> 02:23:50.412
You must not forget who you are

02:23:50.830 --> 02:23:53.373
and who that man is.

02:23:54.542 --> 02:23:55.667
He has a name, Papa.

02:23:55.835 --> 02:23:56.793
Of course.

02:23:56.961 --> 02:23:59.421
All creatures on earth have a name.

02:23:59.714 --> 02:24:01.923
Fyedka is not a creature, Papa.

02:24:02.091 --> 02:24:03.258
Fyedka is a man.

02:24:03.426 --> 02:24:04.926
Who says he isn't?

02:24:06.429 --> 02:24:10.557
It's just that he
is a different kind of man.

02:24:11.309 --> 02:24:13.352
As the Good Book says,

02:24:13.519 --> 02:24:16.730
"Each shall seek his own kind. "

02:24:16.898 --> 02:24:21.234
In other words, a bird may love a fish,

02:24:21.402 --> 02:24:23.403
but where would they build
a home together?

02:24:28.576 --> 02:24:30.118
The world is changing, Papa.

02:24:30.286 --> 02:24:31.536
No, Chaveleh.

02:24:33.081 --> 02:24:34.081
No.

02:24:34.791 --> 02:24:37.167
Some things do not change for us.

02:24:38.544 --> 02:24:40.587
Some things will never change.

02:24:42.423 --> 02:24:43.674
We don't feel that way.

02:24:46.761 --> 02:24:47.761
We?

02:24:49.472 --> 02:24:50.806
Fyedka and I.

02:24:51.974 --> 02:24:53.392
We want to be married.

02:24:53.643 --> 02:24:56.228
What, are you out of your mind?

02:24:57.438 --> 02:24:58.438
What?

02:24:59.357 --> 02:25:01.733
Don't you understand what that means,

02:25:01.901 --> 02:25:03.902
marrying outside of the faith?

02:25:04.070 --> 02:25:05.779
- But, Papa...
- No!

02:25:05.947 --> 02:25:07.489
I said, no!

02:25:08.116 --> 02:25:10.117
Never talk about it again.

02:25:11.369 --> 02:25:12.786
Never mention his name again.

02:25:12.954 --> 02:25:14.705
Never see him again.

02:25:15.123 --> 02:25:16.164
Never.

02:25:17.959 --> 02:25:19.584
Do you understand me?

02:25:22.463 --> 02:25:23.672
Yes, Papa.

02:25:25.967 --> 02:25:27.551
I understand you.

02:25:35.476 --> 02:25:36.476
You're finally here.

02:25:36.644 --> 02:25:38.437
Let's go home. It's late for supper.

02:25:38.604 --> 02:25:40.313
I want to see Motel's new machine.

02:25:40.481 --> 02:25:42.441
You'll see it another time.
It's getting late.

02:25:42.608 --> 02:25:44.317
Quiet, woman, before I get angry!

02:25:44.485 --> 02:25:47.654
Because when I get angry,
even flies don't dare to fly!

02:25:48.531 --> 02:25:50.157
I'm very frightened of you.

02:25:50.742 --> 02:25:52.826
After we finish supper, I'll faint.

02:25:52.994 --> 02:25:54.161
Golde!

02:25:54.620 --> 02:25:56.621
I am the man in the house!

02:25:57.498 --> 02:25:59.416
I am the head of the family!

02:25:59.667 --> 02:26:01.752
And I want to see

02:26:01.919 --> 02:26:04.546
Motel's new machine now!

02:26:10.386 --> 02:26:11.803
Now, let's go home.

02:27:41.811 --> 02:27:43.645
What are you doing here?
What do you want?

02:27:46.107 --> 02:27:48.525
May I see his honor, the priest?

02:27:48.693 --> 02:27:49.901
The reverend father?

02:27:50.069 --> 02:27:51.027
Yes.

02:27:51.195 --> 02:27:53.238
Why do you want to see him?

02:27:53.614 --> 02:27:54.990
It's a family matter.

02:27:56.242 --> 02:27:57.534
A personal matter.

02:27:59.537 --> 02:28:00.787
My daughter.

02:28:00.955 --> 02:28:02.914
Yes. What about your daughter?

02:28:03.082 --> 02:28:05.125
Please, if I could speak with the...

02:28:06.752 --> 02:28:09.337
If I could speak
with the reverend father.

02:28:10.798 --> 02:28:11.798
Please.

02:28:13.968 --> 02:28:14.968
Wait here.

02:28:52.173 --> 02:28:53.381
Tevye!

02:28:56.761 --> 02:28:58.219
Tevye!

02:29:05.728 --> 02:29:06.895
What is it?

02:29:07.772 --> 02:29:08.897
It's Chava.

02:29:10.524 --> 02:29:12.317
She left home this morning

02:29:12.485 --> 02:29:13.777
with Fyedka.

02:29:13.945 --> 02:29:14.903
What?

02:29:15.071 --> 02:29:17.030
I've looked everywhere for her.

02:29:17.907 --> 02:29:19.449
I even went to the priest.

02:29:24.288 --> 02:29:26.456
He told me they were married.

02:29:31.379 --> 02:29:32.504
Married?

02:29:33.089 --> 02:29:34.214
Yes.

02:29:38.761 --> 02:29:39.761
Well.

02:29:41.847 --> 02:29:43.473
Go home, Golde.

02:29:45.726 --> 02:29:47.978
We have other children at home.

02:29:49.105 --> 02:29:50.438
You have work to do.

02:29:50.606 --> 02:29:53.191
I have work to do. Go home.

02:29:53.359 --> 02:29:54.943
But Chaveleh?

02:29:55.111 --> 02:29:56.861
Chava is dead to us.

02:30:01.242 --> 02:30:02.659
We'll forget her.

02:30:04.495 --> 02:30:05.578
Go home.

02:30:07.707 --> 02:30:09.124
Go home, Golde.

02:30:30.187 --> 02:30:31.271
Home.

02:33:13.851 --> 02:33:14.976
Papa?

02:33:17.438 --> 02:33:18.646
Papa!

02:33:22.443 --> 02:33:24.444
Papa, I've been looking
everywhere for you.

02:33:46.550 --> 02:33:47.800
Papa, stop!

02:33:51.472 --> 02:33:53.306
At least listen to me.

02:33:55.267 --> 02:33:56.392
Papa.

02:33:57.686 --> 02:33:59.520
I beg you to accept us.

02:34:07.696 --> 02:34:09.155
Accept them?

02:34:10.991 --> 02:34:12.867
How can I accept them?

02:34:15.162 --> 02:34:17.622
Can I deny everything I believe in?

02:34:20.376 --> 02:34:21.542
On the other hand,

02:34:23.379 --> 02:34:25.546
can I deny my own daughter?

02:34:32.304 --> 02:34:33.638
On the other hand,

02:34:35.683 --> 02:34:38.893
how can I turn my back on my faith,

02:34:40.020 --> 02:34:41.187
my people?

02:34:43.983 --> 02:34:46.150
If I try and bend

02:34:46.527 --> 02:34:48.987
that far,

02:34:49.154 --> 02:34:50.571
I'll break.

02:34:54.535 --> 02:34:56.035
On the other hand...

02:35:01.500 --> 02:35:02.542
No.

02:35:03.377 --> 02:35:05.420
There is no other hand.

02:35:07.423 --> 02:35:08.673
No, Chava!

02:35:09.216 --> 02:35:10.174
No!

02:35:10.342 --> 02:35:12.302
- But, Papa...
- No! No!

02:35:12.469 --> 02:35:13.469
Papa!

02:35:14.346 --> 02:35:15.388
No!

02:35:15.889 --> 02:35:17.181
Papa!

02:35:36.493 --> 02:35:38.077
Golde,

02:35:38.245 --> 02:35:39.787
here they are.

02:35:40.497 --> 02:35:42.081
The boys I told you about.

02:35:42.249 --> 02:35:43.624
Wonderful boys, Golde.

02:35:43.792 --> 02:35:45.168
From good families.

02:35:45.336 --> 02:35:47.462
Each of them a prize, a jewel.

02:35:47.629 --> 02:35:49.756
You couldn't do better for your girls.

02:35:49.923 --> 02:35:53.426
I don't know, Yente.
My girls are still so young.

02:35:53.594 --> 02:35:56.304
So, what do they look like,
grandfathers?

02:35:56.472 --> 02:35:58.473
True. The marriage can wait,

02:35:58.640 --> 02:36:00.266
but, meanwhile, their future

02:36:00.434 --> 02:36:02.935
will be all signed and sealed.

02:36:03.520 --> 02:36:05.646
Which one for which one?

02:36:05.814 --> 02:36:07.774
What's the difference?
Take your pick.

02:36:07.941 --> 02:36:09.567
They're both wonderful boys.

02:36:09.735 --> 02:36:12.779
Yankel, the little, fat one

02:36:12.946 --> 02:36:14.822
is apprenticed to a carpenter.

02:36:14.990 --> 02:36:17.950
- I'm Yankel.
- Did I ask you?

02:36:18.118 --> 02:36:20.411
Yankel, the skinny one,
is apprenticed...

02:36:20.579 --> 02:36:21.913
Mama, is Reb Tevye in the house?

02:36:22.081 --> 02:36:24.457
He's in the barn.
Is there trouble?

02:36:25.667 --> 02:36:27.210
Stay inside, children.

02:36:30.130 --> 02:36:31.672
What is it? What's the matter?

02:36:31.840 --> 02:36:34.801
Tevye. Tevye,
have you seen the constable lately?

02:36:35.636 --> 02:36:36.636
No. Why?

02:36:36.804 --> 02:36:39.013
There are some rumors in town.

02:36:39.765 --> 02:36:42.558
We thought since you knew him so well,

02:36:42.810 --> 02:36:45.436
maybe he told you
what is true and what is not.

02:36:45.604 --> 02:36:46.813
Rumors?

02:36:47.648 --> 02:36:48.689
What rumors?

02:36:49.316 --> 02:36:50.441
Quiet!

02:36:50.609 --> 02:36:51.567
Talk, Avram.

02:36:51.735 --> 02:36:53.361
Someone from Zolodin told me

02:36:53.529 --> 02:36:56.447
there was an edict issued
in St. Petersburg that all...

02:37:05.374 --> 02:37:07.125
Welcome, Your Honor.

02:37:07.418 --> 02:37:10.086
What's the good news in the world?

02:37:10.254 --> 02:37:11.838
I see that you have company.

02:37:13.549 --> 02:37:15.258
They are my friends.

02:37:15.801 --> 02:37:17.718
It's just as well.

02:37:17.886 --> 02:37:19.929
What I have to say
is for their ears also.

02:37:21.098 --> 02:37:22.932
Tevye, how much time
do you need to sell your house

02:37:23.100 --> 02:37:24.267
and all your household goods?

02:37:26.520 --> 02:37:29.272
Why should I sell my house?

02:37:29.440 --> 02:37:31.023
Is it in anybody's way?

02:37:31.191 --> 02:37:34.861
I came here to tell you that you
are going to have to leave Anatevka.

02:37:36.029 --> 02:37:39.282
And how did I come
to deserve such an honor?

02:37:39.450 --> 02:37:42.034
Not just you, of course,
but all of you.

02:37:42.536 --> 02:37:44.245
What?
What do you mean?

02:37:44.413 --> 02:37:45.580
Why?

02:37:46.498 --> 02:37:47.957
Listen to me!

02:37:50.294 --> 02:37:51.878
At first, I thought
you might be spared, Tevye,

02:37:52.045 --> 02:37:54.005
because of the marriage
of your daughter.

02:37:54.673 --> 02:37:56.215
My daughter is dead.

02:37:58.177 --> 02:37:59.218
I understand.

02:38:01.430 --> 02:38:04.182
At any rate, it affects all of you.
You have to leave.

02:38:06.059 --> 02:38:07.268
But...

02:38:07.478 --> 02:38:10.021
But this corner of the world

02:38:10.189 --> 02:38:12.398
has always been our home.

02:38:12.566 --> 02:38:14.275
- Yes.
Yes.

02:38:14.443 --> 02:38:15.610
Why should we leave?

02:38:15.777 --> 02:38:17.320
I don't know why.

02:38:17.488 --> 02:38:19.655
There's trouble in the world.
Troublemakers.

02:38:21.783 --> 02:38:22.909
Like us?

02:38:23.285 --> 02:38:24.452
You aren't the only ones.

02:38:24.620 --> 02:38:26.412
Your people must leave all the villages.

02:38:26.580 --> 02:38:27.955
Zolodin, Rabalevka.

02:38:28.123 --> 02:38:29.916
The entire district must be emptied!

02:38:31.460 --> 02:38:33.503
I have an order here!

02:38:36.507 --> 02:38:37.840
It says that you must sell your homes

02:38:38.008 --> 02:38:39.425
and be out of here in three days.

02:38:39.593 --> 02:38:41.093
How? Three days!
That's impossible!

02:38:41.345 --> 02:38:43.721
What about the children?
- Three days?

02:38:52.439 --> 02:38:54.106
And you,

02:38:54.274 --> 02:38:56.984
you who have known us all your life,

02:38:57.611 --> 02:39:00.112
you'd carry out this order?

02:39:00.280 --> 02:39:02.698
I've nothing to do with it!
Don't you understand?

02:39:02.866 --> 02:39:04.325
I wish you wouldn't say me!

02:39:07.329 --> 02:39:08.287
I understand.

02:39:08.455 --> 02:39:10.957
And suppose we refuse to go?

02:39:11.124 --> 02:39:12.792
You will be forced out!

02:39:12.960 --> 02:39:14.418
We will defend ourselves.

02:39:14.586 --> 02:39:16.379
- We'll stay in our homes!
- Refuse to leave!

02:39:16.547 --> 02:39:17.797
- We won't fall.
- We will keep our land!

02:39:17.965 --> 02:39:18.965
- Yes.
- Fight!

02:39:19.132 --> 02:39:20.967
Against our militia, our army?

02:39:21.134 --> 02:39:22.552
I wouldn't advise that.

02:39:22.719 --> 02:39:25.054
I have some advice for you.

02:39:27.307 --> 02:39:29.100
Get off my land.

02:39:30.561 --> 02:39:33.312
This is still my home,

02:39:33.480 --> 02:39:34.647
my land.

02:39:35.649 --> 02:39:37.149
Get off my land.

02:39:47.202 --> 02:39:48.703
You have three days!

02:40:01.049 --> 02:40:03.509
After a lifetime,

02:40:03.677 --> 02:40:06.137
a piece of paper and get thee out.

02:40:06.305 --> 02:40:09.432
We should get together
with the people of Zolodin.

02:40:09.600 --> 02:40:10.808
Maybe they have a plan.

02:40:10.976 --> 02:40:12.351
We should defend ourselves!

02:40:12.519 --> 02:40:14.061
An eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth!

02:40:14.229 --> 02:40:15.187
Very good.

02:40:15.355 --> 02:40:19.233
That way the whole world
will be blind and toothless.

02:40:20.068 --> 02:40:22.111
Rabbi,

02:40:22.279 --> 02:40:24.864
we've been waiting
for the Messiah all our lives.

02:40:26.325 --> 02:40:28.534
Wouldn't this be
a good time for him to come?

02:40:32.664 --> 02:40:36.208
We'll have to wait
for him someplace else.

02:40:41.715 --> 02:40:43.424
Meanwhile,

02:40:43.592 --> 02:40:45.051
let's start packing.

02:41:04.488 --> 02:41:08.324
Well, Anatevka hasn't exactly been

02:41:08.492 --> 02:41:10.117
the Garden of Eden.

02:41:10.285 --> 02:41:11.577
That's true.

02:41:11.995 --> 02:41:14.538
After all, what have we got here?

02:44:04.417 --> 02:44:06.377
It's just a place.

02:44:06.545 --> 02:44:08.587
And our forefathers
have been forced out

02:44:08.755 --> 02:44:11.507
of many, many places
at a moment's notice.

02:44:12.551 --> 02:44:14.426
Maybe that's why

02:44:15.804 --> 02:44:18.138
we always wear our hats.

02:46:11.211 --> 02:46:12.378
Golde!

02:46:12.671 --> 02:46:14.254
Golde, darling!

02:46:14.422 --> 02:46:16.548
I had to see you before I left.

02:46:16.883 --> 02:46:18.717
Because I have such news for you.

02:46:19.052 --> 02:46:20.678
You remember, Golde,
yesterday I told you

02:46:20.845 --> 02:46:22.554
I didn't know where to go,

02:46:22.722 --> 02:46:24.431
what to do with these old bones?

02:46:24.599 --> 02:46:25.599
Now I know.

02:46:25.767 --> 02:46:27.393
You want to hear? I'll tell you.

02:46:28.019 --> 02:46:29.645
All my life, I've dreamed

02:46:29.813 --> 02:46:31.563
of going to one place.

02:46:32.190 --> 02:46:33.190
Guess where?

02:46:33.358 --> 02:46:35.109
No, you'll never guess.

02:46:35.360 --> 02:46:38.237
Every year at Passover, what do we say?

02:46:38.405 --> 02:46:40.656
Next year in Jerusalem.

02:46:40.824 --> 02:46:43.283
Next year in the Holy Land.

02:46:43.451 --> 02:46:45.577
You're going to the Holy Land.

02:46:45.870 --> 02:46:47.037
You guessed.

02:46:47.247 --> 02:46:48.998
Goodbye, Yente.

02:46:49.708 --> 02:46:51.250
Be well,

02:46:52.252 --> 02:46:53.961
- and go in peace.
- Yeah.

02:46:54.295 --> 02:46:55.921
And so goodbye, Golde.

02:46:56.297 --> 02:46:58.257
And sometime maybe we'll meet

02:46:58.425 --> 02:47:00.009
on a happier occasion.

02:47:00.176 --> 02:47:01.593
Meanwhile, we suffer.

02:47:01.761 --> 02:47:03.303
We suffer.

02:47:03.471 --> 02:47:04.680
We suffer in silence.

02:47:04.848 --> 02:47:06.765
Right? Of course, right.

02:47:07.058 --> 02:47:08.600
Where are you going?

02:47:08.768 --> 02:47:10.602
You don't know where you're going?

02:47:12.439 --> 02:47:14.273
Come, Golde, we have to leave.

02:47:14.482 --> 02:47:16.775
Leave. It sounds so easy.

02:47:17.193 --> 02:47:20.446
Golde, we'll all be together soon.

02:47:20.780 --> 02:47:23.073
Motel, Tzeitel, and the baby,
they'll come, too.

02:47:23.241 --> 02:47:24.199
You'll see.

02:47:24.367 --> 02:47:26.285
This Motel is a person.

02:47:26.453 --> 02:47:28.162
And Hodel and Perchik?

02:47:28.580 --> 02:47:29.997
When will we ever see them again?

02:47:30.165 --> 02:47:33.375
Do they come visiting us
from Siberia every Sabbath?

02:47:33.626 --> 02:47:35.586
You know what she writes.

02:47:35.754 --> 02:47:37.337
He sits in prison,

02:47:37.505 --> 02:47:38.797
she works.

02:47:38.965 --> 02:47:40.591
But soon,

02:47:40.759 --> 02:47:42.051
he will be set free,

02:47:42.218 --> 02:47:45.387
and together they'll
turn the world upside down.

02:47:45.555 --> 02:47:47.306
She couldn't be happier.

02:47:47.974 --> 02:47:49.433
And the other children

02:47:49.601 --> 02:47:50.976
will be with us.

02:47:51.144 --> 02:47:52.436
Not all.

02:47:54.522 --> 02:47:55.814
All!

02:48:02.489 --> 02:48:04.239
Come, Golde.

02:48:04.407 --> 02:48:06.158
I have to clean up.

02:48:06.326 --> 02:48:07.868
Sweep the floor.

02:48:08.078 --> 02:48:09.411
Sweep the floor?

02:48:09.579 --> 02:48:11.455
I don't want to leave a dirty house.

02:48:16.586 --> 02:48:17.628
Tevye!

02:48:20.173 --> 02:48:21.465
Tevye.

02:48:21.883 --> 02:48:23.509
I'm

02:48:23.676 --> 02:48:24.635
on my way.

02:48:24.803 --> 02:48:26.303
Where are you going?

02:48:28.515 --> 02:48:29.681
Chicago.

02:48:29.849 --> 02:48:30.808
In America.

02:48:30.975 --> 02:48:33.310
Chicago, America?

02:48:33.478 --> 02:48:35.771
We are going to New York, America.

02:48:37.357 --> 02:48:39.191
We'll be neighbors.

02:48:39.359 --> 02:48:41.235
My wife Fruma Sarah,
may she rest in peace,

02:48:41.402 --> 02:48:43.779
- has a brother there.
- That's nice.

02:48:44.030 --> 02:48:45.989
I hate him!

02:48:46.157 --> 02:48:47.366
But

02:48:48.576 --> 02:48:51.203
- a relative is a relative.
- Yes.

02:48:52.997 --> 02:48:55.040
- Goodbye, Tevye.
- Goodbye, Lazar Wolf.

02:49:59.564 --> 02:50:02.399
Well, my old friends,
it's time to say goodbye.

02:50:10.450 --> 02:50:12.910
The farmer Bushenko
will be coming for you later.

02:50:14.537 --> 02:50:15.954
He is not a bad sort.

02:50:18.166 --> 02:50:20.709
If you are good to him,
he'll be good to you.

02:50:24.714 --> 02:50:26.757
Take care of your leg.

02:50:38.811 --> 02:50:40.479
Thanks for everything.

02:50:56.621 --> 02:50:57.829
Chava.

02:51:04.879 --> 02:51:06.797
- Papa will see you.
- I want him to.

02:51:07.173 --> 02:51:09.007
I want to say goodbye to him.

02:51:11.219 --> 02:51:12.344
He won't listen to you.

02:51:12.512 --> 02:51:14.137
But at least he will hear.

02:51:14.597 --> 02:51:16.515
Maybe it would be better if I told Mama.

02:51:19.519 --> 02:51:20.519
Chaveleh!

02:51:37.578 --> 02:51:38.704
Papa.

02:51:54.429 --> 02:51:55.470
Papa.

02:51:59.142 --> 02:52:00.726
We came to say goodbye.

02:52:06.566 --> 02:52:08.525
We are also leaving this place.

02:52:10.945 --> 02:52:12.446
We are going to Krakow.

02:52:13.364 --> 02:52:16.575
We cannot stay among people
who can do such things to others.

02:52:20.913 --> 02:52:22.456
We wanted you to know that.

02:52:36.763 --> 02:52:38.597
Some
are driven away by edicts,

02:52:40.141 --> 02:52:41.558
others by silence.

02:52:52.695 --> 02:52:53.945
Goodbye, Papa.

02:52:57.116 --> 02:52:58.283
Mama.

02:53:02.246 --> 02:53:03.622
Come, Chava.

02:53:20.431 --> 02:53:21.473
Goodbye, Chava.

02:53:21.808 --> 02:53:22.808
Fyedka.

02:53:27.438 --> 02:53:39.658
And God be with you.

02:53:39.826 --> 02:53:42.536
We will write to you in America,
if you like.

02:53:42.703 --> 02:53:45.539
We will be staying
with Uncle Avram.

02:53:45.706 --> 02:53:46.915
Yes, Mama.

02:53:58.344 --> 02:54:02.431
We'll be staying with Uncle Avram.

02:54:02.598 --> 02:54:05.642
The whole world has
to know our business.

02:54:06.269 --> 02:54:08.478
Stop yelling and finish packing!

02:54:08.855 --> 02:54:11.189
We have a long way to go.

02:54:11.357 --> 02:54:12.315
Golde,

02:54:12.483 --> 02:54:14.693
I don't need your advice.

02:54:14.861 --> 02:54:16.611
Tzeitel, don't forget the baby.

02:54:35.465 --> 02:54:36.548
Goodbye, Papa.

02:54:46.392 --> 02:54:47.726
Work hard, Motel.

02:54:49.562 --> 02:54:51.062
And come to us soon.

02:54:52.315 --> 02:54:53.440
I will, Papa.

02:54:55.651 --> 02:54:56.902
I'll work hard.

02:55:34.565 --> 02:55:36.024
All right, children.

02:55:39.278 --> 02:55:40.445
Let's go.
