Victory at Entebbe

Benjamin Wise:
Mother, you have to sit around for the take-off.

Etta Grossman-Wise:
He has a box.

Benjamin Wise:
Who has?

Etta Grossman-Wise:
It's tinned. It's between his feet. It says dates. Why would anyone travel with a box of dates? You could carry anything in that box: a gun, a bomb...

Benjamin Wise:
Mother!

Etta Grossman-Wise:
We should have travelled El Al.

Benjamin Wise:
They were all booked.

Etta Grossman-Wise:
I don't like Athens.

Benjamin Wise:
I know. Very bad security in Athens.

Etta Grossman-Wise:
You could come in to Athens from anywhere, and nobody will check between the transit lounge and another plane.

Shimon Peres:
The government of Israel does not negotiate with terrorists!

Etta Grossman-Wise:
The woman is a Nazi.

Benjamin Wise:
Mother, now don't get excited!

Etta Grossman-Wise:
I'm not excited. I took a Valium. The woman is still a Nazi.

Etta Grossman-Wise:
Where do you think, Mr. Olav? You've had an extensive military background. Where do you think we're going?

Aaron Olav:
What?

Etta Grossman-Wise:
My son says Khartoum. On the other hand, this gentleman...

Nathan Haroun:
Haroun.

Etta Grossman-Wise:
...says Somalia. And as for me... I think India!

Aaron Olav:
India?

Etta Grossman-Wise:
Why not? I've never been to India! They have erotic temples there, I'm told. I've never seen an erotic temple.

Aaron Olav:
That's ridiculous! India? Who ever heard of being hijacked to India?

Etta Grossman-Wise:
Well, everybody has an opinion. Now, it's your turn.

Aaron Olav:
I don't know!

Etta Grossman-Wise:
Well, think it over. When you decide it, let us know, hum?

Aaron Olav:
India, hum? India... Humph! Pfah! India!

Benjamin Wise:
Are you serious? India?

Etta Grossman-Wise:
Certainly!

Etta Grossman-Wise:
Or China.

Benjamin Wise:
What are you reading?

Etta Grossman-Wise:
Agatha Christie.

Benjamin Wise:
You read that one in Tel Aviv!

Etta Grossman-Wise:
Um-hum, I know. But fortunately, I have just gotten older and absent-minded enough to have forgotten who the murderer is!

Benjamin Wise:
Mother, you have a British passport. You stay with the others!

Etta Grossman-Wise:
Don't be foolish. They have my Israeli identification card. Besides, it says: Etta Grossman-Wise. Even a German might suspect something.
