Alternative couple

The jokes are routine, the plot is brainless, or it can be said that there is no plot at all. Compared with the "Smiths", the performance of this "couple" is sober and superficial, and there is no tacit understanding that it should have. The plot is empty and does not require IQ and logic to watch. The premise of being funny shouldn't be pretending to be crazy and stupid.

-
[Tim eavesdrops to Jeff and Karen through an earphone. He hears them moaning]
Tim Jones: [to Natalie] I think they're having sex. God damn it, we don't have time for this. I mean, they're supposed to be here in 45 minutes. Nope, they are done.

Jeff Gaffney: Okay, can you guys tell us anything at all?
Natalie Jones: I'm not Greek. I'm Israeli.
Karen Gaffney: Ex-Mossad?
Natalie Jones: Can't tell you.
Karen Gaffney: Come on. Are you guys even married? Can you even tell us that?
[Tim and Natalie look at each other]
Tim Jones: Yes. That actually you can't fake.
Jeff Gaffney: But that's it? Everything else was a lie?
[Tim shrugs while drinking coffee]
Jeff Gaffney: I mean, 'cause I think when you told me that you hated your job, that seemed real. I mean, from an HR perspective. That seemed real.
Natalie Jones: [sharply] You told him you hate your job?
Tim Jones: [embarrassed] I may have mentioned certain misgivings, in confidence.
Natalie Jones: Interesting. Why is this coming out now?
Tim Jones: Because Jeff is actually a good listener. And I did mention that to you before, in Marrakesh. At that place that we always go to. Hazim's. That day, we spent the whole afternoon here. We talked about maybe getting out of this. We talked about I could actually become a travel writer, for real. We could maybe have a child.
Natalie Jones: That was hypothetical. It wasn't a life plan.
Tim Jones: I didn't think it...
Natalie Jones: [in Hebrew] Ya'ala itcha! Sicha achat sheyotzim she'ata mastul al nargila...
[= I've had it with you! We go out, have one conversation, and you are high with the hookah]
Tim Jones: [to the Gaffneys] Okay, this is what we do. Automatically, we go to Hebrew and then it's gonna be a whole thing.
