אייל קיציס Shai Stern meets Marilyn Monroe—an Israeli woman convinced she is the reincarnation of Marilyn Monroe and acutely aware of the sex appeal she projects. Among other things, they discuss what fascinates Kitzis most of all—large breasts. Since she was blessed in that department, she immediately declares that she won't let Kitzis touch hers. Kitzis, for his part, tells Stern he doesn't need to anyway, as he has two of his own (referring to Tali Moreno). |
