Did anyone else find it weird at the subway station when the black drag queen asked Eyal how he was in Hebrew after learning he was Israeli? Maybe he'd had a previous relationship with an Israeli or something (or was possibly Jewish himself), but I just found it a little surprising that he would randomly know a Hebrew phrase like that.

Im confused as to why it's ironic that it was a black drag queen. Is this not common in Germany? A black man? or a drag queen?
shareI probably only know about 50 words in Hebrew but I burst out laughing at that scene. I thought it was great.
shareI've met people in the most remote places - a horse cart driver at the temples of Bagan in Burma, a policeman at Angkor Wat, a Mayan priest in Guatemala - who spoke to me in Hebrew, often including contemporary slang.
But I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
He just says "Ma nishma?" (I haven't seen the film in a while, but I don't recall him saying anything more.) That's a common phrase he could have easily picked up from Israeli or Jewish friends or from a phrasebook, without any broad knowledge of the language.
