"Hey you, can you drive a fine imported car like this?" "Hey, it's you I'm talking to." "And good morning." "Your mother must have forgotten to teach you manners." "It's okay, I'll teach you." "You're asking me if I can drive?" "I mean... are you qualified?" "It's a foreign car after all." "What?" "The gears are different." "Can anyone here drive this car?" "Since you know a lot about foreign cars and their bloody gears?" "I can't..." "And since this is Don Pedro's car  and he doesn't know howto drive, so who's left?" "Huh, madam?" "I don't trust this hooligan's driving." "Eveything should be alright." "God bless." "Okay Ferdinand..." "Thank you." "Ferdie, we really don't need to make this small talk." "Sory." "There's something strange on your face." "No..." "I mean." "Why are you speaking now?" "Hey Ferdie, open the bottle." "He couldn't even get water?" "Couldn't even do this much?" "I keep doing work for others all the time  but no one cares." "I'm thirsty, one second." "Yuck!" "What is this?" "What are you doing?" "What?" "What am I doing?" "What am I doing?" "Yes, what are you doing?" "How much longerwill I have to wait, god dammit?" "What are you saying?" "So tell me, Ferdie, how come no Mrs. Ferdie all these years?" "Oh..." "Just like that."

"Does anyone want to tell Mai whatjust happened?" "Exactly." "So we'll stop somewhere on the way and say a prayer for Nereus." "You mean, she'll wake up and see  that Nereus passed away in his sleep?" "Yeah." "See... see." "Fanny's house." "Happy?" "Come." "This house is biggerthan your palace." "Prem, no?" "Prem, like my Fanny." "This is it, sir." "It's your show from now." "Come on, you Romeo." "No more thinking." "Make or break." "Ferdie." "Hey..." "Go get him." "Get him." "Ferdie." "Ferdie." "Ferdie, wait up." "Ferdie." "Ferdie, wait." "Wait." "What if..." "What if she doesn't recognize me?" "Mad or what?" "Who would forget a personality like yours?" "Yes, I haven't changed much."

"You were making bit of a sound." "What are you mumbling about?" "Angie, you know who?" "Again you're talking about Mai." "Why are we always talking about Mai?" "Don't be naive, Angie." "What are you going to tell Rosie about us?" "Mad or what?" "Whywill I tell her anything?" "What do you mean?" "This is a one-time thing foryou?" "That's all this is?" "I didn't say that."

"You look out for him  while Hussain can look at more ofyou." "Don't think I don't know what's going on in your dim mind." "My dim mind?" "Wait till he takes out his paintbrush." "Then tell me dim mind." "I don'twantto talkto you." "The moment is at hand, my lady." "What are you going to do with this?" "With this brush I will awaken the soul that  exists within this beautiful body." "And put colors on to it  the world does not have names foryet." "With each dab of paint  I will give your beautiful soul.." "... a new skin." "God will wish he had leftthe creation ofwomen to Pedro." "Angie, I am sory." "Sory for being such an idiot." "I don't know much about these things." "And I don't smoke." "But maybe if I did  I would be the one who would wantto roll over and smoke a cigarette.." "... afterwe make love." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "Putyour hands up!" "And stay there!" "Madame Eucharistica." "Drop the cloth a little offthe other shoulder." "I am not so sure." " Drop it." "This is art, my dear." "No compromises."

"Seldom have I been so wrong  in recognising someone." "How can somebody so magnificent to look at.." "..be so completely empty from the inside?" "Where had your mind been  while your body was working its magic  filling itself out, becoming a deadly lure forthe artist." "You know the hardest part of finishing this painting, Madame?" "Your eyes." "Where is your soul?" "I do not see." "So... I had to make it up." "It's like making love to you and thinking of another." "You're free to go." "I am done with you." "Dear Angie, madam Rosalina, Don Pedro and Savio  sory for dragging you all into this." "But I needed you all to help me start." "I don't expect you to understand my love for Fanny." "I understand it hardly." "What I understand is this." "You won't find anything by waiting  but only by searching." "Angie, you're the daughter I never had." "And you're the wife I hope Fanny will be." "And I wish my mother had been like you." "Whoever you touch is the luckiest bugger in the world." "Even if they don't know it then." "Don Pedro, I'm sure you'll make... ..the lovely madam Rosalina famous in your painting." "I hope each one ofyou fulfils something in your life." "Will I see you again?" "Maybe, maybe not." "I don't know." "Good." "Nowwe can go back." "I guess its his own journey from here on." "I mean  we were meantto be with him only up till here." "Come." "Wait." " It's time to go home."

"I am the one who slipped the letter.." "..under his door that night." "What?" "Found itwhen I was going through daddy's old stuff." "Like eveything else in life.." "... daddy must have messed up again." "Yes, now I remember." "Jesus Christ, you think even this is about you?" "!" "It's about your daddy, you idiot." "Loyolla was the postmaster that time." "Daddy was surely a man of many talents." "Ferdie!" "Ferdie!" "Ferdie!" "Ferdie!" " Ferdie!" "Ferdie!" "Stop the car." " Are you mad, stop the car!" "Shit the bloody car's brakes are failed!"

"Mai mentioned many, many names." "What a colou_ul life she had." "But no, sory." "She never mentioned any Fernando." "And that was it, really." "We set out like brave adventurers to find love." "Look at us..." "None of us would know love.." "..if it punched us in the nose." "Pretending like we knew anything about anything  in the first place." "Pretending like we were wiser now." "I wanted to tell Ferdie that itwas okay." "But he wouldn't understand." "I wanted to tell him that people die.." "..but love never does." "As for Don Pedro, his part in our lives was onlythat much."
