The Hollow Wall

The Honourable Woman 1×7

& Nessa: What are those?
    Frances: Ceremonial shovels. The idea is that both you and El-Amin have one at the launch.
    Nessa: OK.
    Frances: The problem is, which one to choose. This one’s Palestinian made. This one’s Israeli. This one’s got an Israeli handle on, but a Palestinian blade, and this one’s the other way round. What you really need is a blade that’s half and half, split down the middle, so that both sides strike the ground at the same time.
    Nessa: So do that.
    Frances: What if they crack, break apart? I’m not sure that’s the photo opportunity you’re looking for.

& Nessa: Have you told the police?
    Hugh: It’s not my job.
    Nessa: What’s your job?
    Hugh: You know what? I’m not sure any more. Maybe I should stop doing it.

& Hugh: If there’s one person you should trust in all this... it’s Shlomo Zahary.

& Rachel: Ephra? Running? Hm. I don’t think so.
    Atika: Maybe... he wants to get away from things.
    Rachel: Oh. Well, that kind of running... That makes perfect sense. If only I could do the same.

& Frances: Look at this! A world event rapidly turning into Carry On Up The Kibbutz.

& Ephra: Hi. My name’s Ephra. Today, I’ll mostly be having a nervous breakdown and running away from it all. What’s your alibi?

& Atika: Let’s switch the phones off. Go away, world.

& Nessa: What it’s all really about is very, very simple. It’s about our need to communicate with each other. And with others. Here... and there. Talk. Trade. Understand. And that’s it.

& Hugh: Jesus.
    Julia: See why I never came off the Pill?

& Judah: Whatever we may or may not have done in the past, we didn’t kill Nessa Stein or her brother!
    Hugh: Except that world opinion seems to think you did...

& Corrspondent: Will that involve a full, unambiguous condemnation of Israel’s failure to rein in its own domestic extremists?
    Special Adviser to the Secretary of State Kate Larsson: If what looks to have happened actually has, then, yes, you can expect a very strong response from this department.

& Kate Larsson: Yes, she has agreed. ... Yes, she has agreed. ... Yes, she has agreed.
