Coupling: Series 1, Episode 5 - The Girl With Two Breasts - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

Jeff manages to talk to a particularly beautiful brunette at the bar. Typically he says some pretty ludicrous things, but luckily she only speaks Hebrew. Of course, that presents its own problems...

Further details

Jeff and co. can't take their eyes of a beautiful stranger in their local bar. And the girl can't take her eyes off Jeff. Jeff goes over to talk to her, only to discover that she doesn't speak a word of English, which to Jeff of course is quite a relief. Her interpreter, Alice, tells Jeff she's Israeli, then whisks her away.

The next day the girl is back and Jeff attempts to chat her up. With neither speaking a word of the other's language, it is an utter disaster. The girl is led to believe that Jeff fancies Alice, not her. Jeff is led to believe that 'Shadayim' is the girl's name, when in fact it's Hebrew for 'breast'. The heartbroken girl reluctantly arranges for Alice to meet Jeff at the bar the next day. When Jeff says to Alice, 'I'm sorry, I was expecting Shadayim,' the flat-chested Alice punches him in the face.
