  Rabbi : [impressed]  Very well.

• Rabbi : [to Azriel, approvingly]  If there is no flour, there is no Torah.

  [Famous Jewish phrase, meaning that person cannot live only by studying Torah, but must provide himself the material needs] 

  Hannukah : What flour, rabbi? He's not working in a bakery! He deals with guavas, apricots, vegetables, fruits...

• Hannukah : Don't eh... exercise!

  [Hannukah trying to tell Salvador "Don't exagerate" in his broken English]

• Hannukah : Ya waradi! Each lens, a microscope!

• Hannukah : [to Gavriel, when he sees Azriel approaching]  Cough. The potato is coming.

• Hannukah : [introduces Azriel's fake family to the Rabbi]  They don't drink, they don't smoke, they don't play snooker. Regular righteous among the nations.
