Givat Halfon - a Landmark in Israeli Cinema ***draft***
Created | Updated Mar 19, 2005
Put a couple of Israelis together, and sooner or later they will start quoting Givat Halfon1. In fact, even people that have never seen the movie will probably be able to quote it - though it's pretty hard to find such people.
The reasons it has become such a popular movie are numerous**. First of all, it stars the comic trio HaGashash HaHiver (a name that can be roughly translated as 'The Pale Path-finder'), one of the most significant *powers* in Israeli entertainment. It can also be said to represent the spirit of the times: ***blah blah blah - gotta find something to write here***. Most of all, this is just a hilarious movie.
So this is what this entry is for - introducing Givat Halfon to those poor folks abroad that did not have the privilege to see it.

The Plot
**(this will take a while...)**
*Good quotes to put in:*
Jinji: I was actually thinking more in the direction of Yaeli...
Mr. Hason: You better start thinking in the direction of the door, before my hand thinks in the direction of your cheek.
Jinji: Mr. Hason, please! I'll get arrested for a civilian in suspicious circumstances and a *tractor* with no circumstances at all!
Sergio Konstanza: [upon finding Yaeli inside his luggage] Excuse me, I don't seem to remember packing you!
Colonel Bondi: If the Egyptians get here, what message do you transmit?
Sergio Konstanza: The Egyptians? What do they have to look for here, in this heat?
Colonel Bondi: What do you do if the Egyptians get here?
Mr. Hason: What we did in '73.
Colonel Bondi: What did you do in the '73?
Mr. Hason: What we did in '67.
Colonel Bondi: What did you do in '67?
Mr. Hason: What we did in '48.
Colonel Bondi: Well, what did you do in '48?!
Mr. Hason: Thirty years, who remembers?
Yosifun (the cook): Alright, you'll be an H.S.O.
Mr. Hason: H.S.O.?
Yosifun: Head Salad Officer.
Mr. Hason: Buddy, I was an H.S.O. when you were still I.Y.M.B.!
Yosifun: I.Y.M.B.?
Mr. Hason: In Your Mother's Belly.
I need to see this movie again. Woo!
