"What is love?" "Love?" "...Love is life." "Love?" "What is love?" "Where does it happen?" "Why does it happen?" "And how does it happen?" "I believe that God predetermined all our emotional relationships." "But then He left it to us to find each other." "He made us all couples and for every one of us... there is a soulmate." "A soulmate?" "What nonsense!" "I don't believe in all this..." "I'm absolutely sure that somewhere, someone was made for me... and that someday I shall certainly meet him." "OK, but will someone please tell me... how will I know who was made for me?" "I mean, will she be wandering about with a placard with my name on it?" "When I see her, will there be a clap of thunder and a flash of lightning?" "How will I recognise her?" "I don't know what others will do, but I will recognise him." "He will speak to me, He will give me a sign... and my heart will realise that this is him." "What is all this?" "This is love" "Love!" "However far apart they may be..." "Their paths will meet, whatever happens..." "When two people are made for each other." "Made for each other." "The Heart Is Crazy" "Like the heart and its beat- Made for each other." "Like the eye and its sight - Made for each other." "Like the monsoon and the rain - Made for each other." "One lover, one beloved Made for each other" "Made for each other" "When God gave them a heart..." "It was one heart in two pieces." "He wrote one name on both..." "He wrote 'Radha' and 'Krishna'." "Now these hearts beat together," "They come together and they part." "When two people are made for each other." "I don't know when, Like a silent thief..." "I don't know when, like a silent thief..." "The first look of love..." "Took my heart away" "In love's very first game of hide N seek..." "I hid myself in the shelter of his eyes." "Now I'm frightened because like a silent thief... the first look of love..." "Took my heart away" "My hair disheveled, I walk like I'm drunk" "If anyone sees me They will ask what's up." "How can I go home like this?" "Jimmy, get Rahul." "Rahul's not here." "Go and look for him then!" "And fast!" "I'll be right back." " Shruti, have you seen Rahul?" " No, I haven't." "I don't know when, like a silent thief... the first glance of love... took my heart away." "Rahul!" "How often have I told you that I get anxious when you're late..." "Sorry, Nisha, I got this idea at the last minute... and I thought that if I shoot out of the stage... the audience will freak out and that's what happened." "What's the fuss all about?" "Look here, Rahul..." "I'm fed up with your last minute entries" "Hey kid, I'm the director." "I do what I want." "I can change whomever I like, even you." "Yeah, but you'll never get another dancer like me." "If I want I can get Shruti to dance." "Nisha!" "Fight with Rahul later please." "It's time to go on stage." "Take the mike." "I want to thank you all very much... for making this dance show such a big success." "As you all know, this is the last night of this show." "However, I promise you that we'll be back in three months... with a new story, new songs and a new name." "Yes, 'Maya' is the name of our new dance show." "Rahul, this new play 'Maya'..." "what's it all about?" "Tell us." "Yes!" "Tell us about it!" "Okay..." "I don't know." "What?" "!" "If you didn't know that, then why did you tell everyone... that we'll do a new show called 'Maya'... and that we'll do it in three months?" "Now look, even I don't know who or what Maya is." "But I do know that in three months, we'll do a show called 'Maya'." "Do you have in mind a girl who's like Maya?" "Right now, Maya is not even in my perception." "Hey, Nisha!" "I've got a girl in mind." "Rahul!" "Aren't you talking about Pami, the Colonel's daughter?" "Rahul, are you in love with a girl like Maya?" "No, I'm not in love with anyone but lots of girls love me." "But Maya is the kind of girl that anyone would love." "Maya is the kind of girl for whom you would leave even Soni." "You'd better watch out if you cheat on my sister." "Ballu, shut up." "What does she do?" "She spins dreams." "Is Maya beautiful?" "Very." "This Maya must do something..." "Maya dances..." "but only for herself." "Excuse me, but she is a feeling, a fantasy, beautiful... and a dancer." "But we've got to find her in three months." "So who is she?" "Maya is all these things and yet she is only Maya." "We've gone around in circles and we're back where we started." "Are you trying to make us look dumb?" "I've done chores all my life!" "But I'll decide this today!" "Silly girl!" "Where were you?" " I was outside." " Now you have to come with me." "I'm tired of the promises your uncle makes everyday." "So, today we're going to have a fight and you have to take my side." "Bravo, bravo!" "What a performance!" "Wonderful!" "Panditji... excuse me, Panditji" "Go on, Chandni... er, Shanti" "Please allow us to have a teabreak." "Break whatever you want." "Please allow me to have a word with your students." "By all means." "Watchman!" "Gardener!" "Shankar and Ramu, if you don't mind, perhaps you'd all get back to work!" "Where are you going?" "Why are you driving away my audience?" "Please be quiet." "You gather the servants here so they can't get on with their work!" "I have to do it all by myself." "As of today, no music recitals." "From today... only you will sing and only you will listen." "No audience." "Even in my own house my songs aren't appreciated." "So how will others appreciate them?" "Because of your aunt's behavior, I never became a great singer." "I know, I know..." "Now have a cup of tea." "No, I don't want any tea." "Have a cup of tea..." "and sing a song for me." "Will you listen to my song?" " Really?" " Certainly." "So let me have the tea!" "Here, this is your parcel." "It's from Ajay!" "There must be a cassette in there." " Hear my song first." " Later, uncle... please!" "See that?" "You have always driven away my audience!" "What are you dreaming about?" "I was thinking how fast time flies." "It seems like yesterday that Mr. Khanna and Geeta... had that accident and Pooja came to our house." "And now, it seems as if we have no existence without her." "And I have never seen such close friends as Pooja and Ajay." "Hey, fatty!" "How are you?" "Shut up, I'm not fat." "I've heard that nowadays you're really packing your food away." "Don't do that or no one will marry you!" "Idiot!" "Don't worry about my marriage!" "Who's going to marry you?" "By now, you must have finished cursing me." "So I'll proceed." "I'm having fun, as usual, and work and girls are keeping me busy." "Tell you what?" "I never realised how handsome I am." "Oh really!" "Don't make faces." "If you wish I can fax you a list of my girlfriends." "For your information, I've left Tina because she doesn't like Hindi films." "Thank God." "She was really stupid..." " And now my heart is elsewhere..." " Who is she?" "Don't yell, I'm telling you." "She's called Dolly." "There's no need to worry." "She really likes Hindi movies." "And yes, I forgot to tell you something." "I may be coming to Bombay for a few days." " When?" "!" " There's no need to stand..." "Sit down." "It's not fixed as yet." "As soon as I get to know, I'll tell you." "OK, I'm off." "Dolly is coming and even though you haven't told me..." " I'll give her your love." " There's no need." "OK, I won't..." "Hey!" "Here she comes!" "OK, I'm going..." "Give mum and dad my love!" "Hey Nisha, where've you put that cassette you took from my car?" "You know there was a really important track on it of our play." "Anything that goes into your room vanishes forever." "You have no manners." "You must knock before coming into a girl's room." "Is there a girl here?" "I am!" "Stupid!" "And seriously..." "Look, don't talk to me in this girly girly way." "Please!" "You have also entered my room when I had nothing on." "So?" " That's different." " Why is it different?" "Go on now..." "get my cassette." "First say sorry, then you'll get the cassette." " Must I say sorry?" "!" " Yes." " Say sorry to you?" " Yes." "I'll fix you, Nisha!" "Come on, give me back my cassette!" " Give it to me!" " I won't!" " Now say you're sorry!" " Sorry for what?" "Sorry that you've wasted my time and made me run." " I won't say I'm sorry." " Say sorry!" "And quickly say that you won't annoy me ever again." " I'll never annoy you!" " Say:" "Rahul is the best." "Never..." "Okay!" "Rahul is the best." "Whatever happens I shan't dance in your play!" "So be it." "There are plenty of dancers like you!" "There's no one who dances like me!" "Pooja... my marriage has been arranged." "Marriage?" "!" "Anjali, what's up with you?" "You're going to marry someone... you haven't chosen?" "Someone you hardly know?" "!" "I do know him." "He's the son of Mr. Kapoor." "I've known him for years." "But you don't love him." "Well, Pooja..." "love will happen in due course." "What are you saying, Anjali?" "We're not children any more, Pooja." "It's time we emerged from our world of fantasies." "We are Indian girls." "The lovers of our dreams and our husbands are not the same." "Someone else chooses our husbands for us." "We learn to love them." "This is the truth and... the sooner you realise it, the better." "Don't make this mistake, Anjali." "Someone, somewhere is made for you and you should wait for him." "Perhaps this one is him." "I'm sure that this is the one who was made for me." "And who knows?" "This might happen to you." "Tomorrow you might marry a man whom you merely know... and slowly you might realise that he was the one you were waiting for." "Nothing like this will happen to me." "I'll choose my husband myself." "There can't be a girl like this." "Meaning?" "Rahul, this character is a mistake... and Maya exists only in your dreams." "Modern girls aren't like this." "What do you know?" "You're not a girl." "Maya is not one of these modern girls." "She's something else..." "She is my Maya." "Your Maya, indeed!" "What do you know about girls?" "You know only one." "And that's me!" "What do you mean?" "I don't know anything about love... and yet I'm making this love story." "What of it?" "Rahul, your Maya is really crazy." "Don't you call my Maya crazy!" "You are the only one who feels this." " Nobody else is saying anything." " Definitely!" "Rahul, I think Nisha is right." "I don't understand this Maya character either." "Her character seems false." "Looking at it from a psychological point of view..." "I'm sure that you're on your own trip." " Do you also want to say something?" " I think we need a lunchbreak." "Look, I don't know if there is such a girl or not... and I don't want to know." "Whether she is a lie, a fantasy or mad or whatever..." "If you cannot understand this, I am very sorry." "I can't do anything about this, but... under no circumstances am I going to change the character of Maya." "I think Rahul's right." "You shut up." "You are Rahul's yes man." " I was only saying that..." " Okay... what were you saying?" "Do you know of such a girl?" "Is your Soni like this?" "No." "Do you understand the character of Maya?" " No." " Should we do this play?" "That's exactly what I have been saying!" "But..." "An innocent face..." "Mischief in her eyes..." "Oh my!" "An innocent face;" "mischief in her eyes..." "She stands far away from me, looking shy." "Oh my!" "She lets me catch a glimpse of her face, then she turns away." "If you look with my eyes, friend, you can see her." "She's no ordinary girl, she's a magical being." "What else can I say to describe her." "Last night she appeared in my dreams, her hair flowing wildly." "When I woke up, I wished I could go back to my dream." "If this how I feel without meeting her... what will happen when I do?" "Her eyeliner is dark like the first cloud of the rainy season" "She moves like a wave on the ocean." "From what special substance did God make her body?" "I wish that one-day, magically, she becomes a reality." "Perhaps you haven't noticed but everyone is staring at us." "So what?" "I don't care." "I'll be back in a moment." "Have you come shopping?" "Alone?" "Very good!" "Never make the mistake of going shopping with a girl." " Do you like it?" " I like it very much." "I like it very, very much too." "Let's go." "Once you've tried it on." "You like it and I like it..." "Let's go, please." "To hell with Rahul!" " What did you say?" " Nothing, nothing at all." "Off you go!" "Who is it?" "Why are you laughing?" "What's up?" "Where are your jeans?" "Come on, I'm wearing my jeans." "It happens, y'know." "Who's there?" "Crazy!" "Everybody clap..." "Open the cake box." "How did this happen?" "What happened and when did it happen?" "How did this get swapped over?" "I had ordered a chocolate cake." "You've brought someone else's parcel." "I'm so stupid!" "I should have checked." "It's all right, dear." "Other people celebrate their birthdays by cutting a cake." "I'll celebrate mine by cutting sandwiches." "Let me see who got my cake." " Who's this Pooja?" " I don't know." " And who's this uncle?" " Must be Pooja's uncle." "The first time I send you to do something... and you go and get the boxes mixed up." "What have I done?" "I brought the parcel the shopkeeper gave me." "But you should have checked." "Excuse me, but it wasn't up to me to check." "Next time, do it yourself." "I am hungry." "This cake looks really good." " No one's eating this cake." " Why not?" "Because it belongs to someone else." "They must be eating eating our sandwiches, too..." "There's an address written here." "It's nearby." "Go and deliver it." "Have you gone mad?" "Rahul, this is someone's birthday cake." "It was ordered with love for that person." "Someone's party will be ruined." "Go and give it back." "I'm not going." "Rahul be damned!" "Jimmy, let's go and give it back and say 'Happy Birthday!" "'." " What did you say?" " Nothing." "Good evening." "Are you uncle?" "No, I'm aunty." "Actually, by mistake I got your cake, aunty." "The sandwich man!" "That's right." "Here's your cake..." "Wishing you a happy birthday." "Thank you and sorry." "Why sorry?" "Because I've eaten your sandwiches." "That's all right." "Actually, I ate a bit of your cake on the way here." "No wonder...!" "OK, I'll be off Uncle" "No." "Come in and have some cake." "No thanks." "I've got something to do." "I'm in a hurry." "Just a minute." "Just one minute" "Let the person who bought this cake, thank you." "That poor man, whose sandwiches you picked up by mistake... has brought the cake back." "Go and thank him." "He's at the door." "The cake has brought a twinkle in my eyes... and a musical rhythm to the strings of my heart" "Strange man." "Why are you buying all this stuff?" "Oh, Anjali..." "Today is Valentine's Day" "Don't you know about Valentine's Day?" "The man you love most in the world is called your Valentine." "On this day, all lovers tell each other... about all the love they have in their hearts." "This is all about love." "You won't understand." "But whom are you buying all these things for?" " For myself." " What?" "You see, I don't have a lover." "So there's no one to buy me all these lovely things." "I'm doing this for my own pleasure." "You've gone quite mad." "Do you know, today isn't an ordinary Valentine's Day." "After many years, today it falls on the same day as the full moon." "Do you know what this means?" "I don't, but I'm sure you're going to tell me." "It means that if you believe that someone is made for you... and you are waiting for him with a true heart... you will certainly meet him today." "And you really believe this?" "Of course, I'm absolutely sure that before midnight today..." "I shall meet my soulmate." "Pooja!" "You're really mad!" "That I am." "I'm going home." "If you want to come with me, then come on." "Rahul, we all came together and we'll all go together." "This is a very boring party." "If you want to come, then come on." "Rahul, you don't get any better." "See, it's such a beautiful night... and you're so unromantic." "Look, everyone's so much in love." "You think that they're all in love?" "Sit down." "Tell me something, Nisha." "You think you know what love is?" "Love is when you're so fond of someone, that your heart tells you... you want to spend your whole life in his arms." "That's what we call love." "You think the people here want to spend the rest of their lives..." " with each other?" " I think so." "Girls are so daft." "Do you know, most of these romances will be over before tomorrow?" "They'll fight over small things... and will never see each other after tonight." "And next year, you will see the same faces... at the same places in different arms." " Boys are also really stupid." " I'm telling you the facts, Nisha." "You must realise that you need to know someone really well..." " to spend your life together." " That's right." "And in order to know someone well you need to spend time together?" "True." "In today's world, whose got the time?" "Look; among all these party guests, no one's known each other... for as long as we've known each other." "Does that mean that we can spend a lifetime with each other?" "Come on, don't just accept what I'm saying... but just tell me, could you spend your whole life with me?" "Here you are, Rahul!" "And everyone wants you outside!" "Why?" "The thing is, my friend, people here want to hear you sing a song." " No way!" " Oh, come on!" "Tell me, could you spend your whole life with me?" "Yes, Rahul." "I could spend it with you." "I could spend my whole life with you." "The moon whispered something... which the night heard..." "The moon whispered something, which the night heard..." "Did you hear..." "It said "fall in love"" "The moonlight came to my street and to my house," "To say "fall in love"" "What can I say, what can I do," "This strange thing that has happened to me." "It is a sign or did my heart whisper "fall in love"" "There is someone, I don't know who." "But I am certain that there is someone." "He is somewhere in my dreams, but I cannot see him" "I am here..." "he is somewhere there" "Then whose voice was it... that said "fall in love"" "I have given my love to him, he does not know." "How can I call him unfaithful, he does not know." "I have tried to say so much, he does not hear." "Oh my sad heart, be careful... when you "fall in love"" "You're really crazy." "Is there something wrong with your brain?" "Going home like this without telling anyone!" "You said we had come together and we'd all leave together." "Then you go and run away all on your own." "You know that we're all worried." "You stupid idiot!" "Er... this is not 6711237, is it?" "No." "I'm sorry, I thought it was someone else." "You're right." "I am someone else." "Please excuse me." "It's OK." "Hang on, one minute..." "don't hang up the phone." "Yes?" "The music you're playing... that's Pundit Shiv Kumar Sharma's new album, isn't it?" "Yes." "I just love it." "Actually, you know, I wanted to buy it." " Where did you buy it from?" " 'Rhythm House'." "I haven't been there." "Do you think they would have it in stock?" "How would I know?" "Oh right, stupid me..." "how would you know?" "You don't work there." "I'm really sorry about all this." "Nice voice." "How could you do this to me?" "!" "You scared the hell out of me!" "Now I'm not going to give up until I've got you." "Wait till I get my hands on you!" "How about it?" "Ballu!" "What are you up to?" "Why, what's wrong, Rahul?" "I told you that after this drum roll is over... the spotlight should move from me to Nisha." " And I thought..." " Shut up." "Come on, Nisha..." "do it again." "What?" " Please pack up early today." " Why?" "What's special about today?" "Nothing." "Come on." "Good." "C'mon, everybody." "Let's take it from the top." "Rahul, you forgot?" "Today is her birthday." "Really?" "Why didn't someone tell me?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "There are some things, Rahul, which one knows without being told." "Even then... you people should have said something." "Honestly, you guys are the limit..." "You've been forgetting my birthday all these years." "This is just another year." "Stop putting on an act and take us all out to dinner." "What is it?" "You remembered!" "So why didn't you say it?" "There are some things which one knows without being told." "Come on, let's rehearse!" "What are you guys drinking?" " I want some." " This isn't for ladies." "So relax." "No, I want some." "I told you that this isn't suitable for you!" "Today's my birthday." "I'll do as I please." "OK... suit yourself." "Give me another glass." "Nothing." "You're in love?" "Give over!" "I know your kind of love." "It changes every week." "Not my kind of love..." "but your kind of love." "The marrying kind?" "Really?" "Who's the girl." "Do I know her?" "Really well." "Tell me who she is, please!" " Must I?" " Shoot!" "Forget it." "That hurts!" "Didn't I tell you?" "It's not for ladies!" "Please, Ajay!" "Tell me who she is!" "Right then." "We'll do this." "See that waiter?" " Which one?" " The one serving the water." " So?" " Keep looking at him." "If there's still a glass of water on that tray... by the time he gets to our table then I'll tell you her name." "Excuse me!" "A glass of water, please!" "That's cheating." "You can't do that." "Don't say anything." "Say nothing at all..." "Take my shoes and give me money." "I'm afraid." "Don't leave me I'm scared" "It's really late." "Now quietly go to sleep!" "Good night!" "First promise me that you won't leave me." "OK, baby, I shan't leave you alone." "You won't leave me, even if I ask for an ice-cream, will you?" "No, I won't." "You won't leave me, even if I don't dance well... will you?" "No, I won't." "Not even if I call you names..." "donkey, monkey... will you?" "Of course, I won't." "You won't leave me, even if I tell you that I love you... will you?" "There she is..." "still asleep!" "Come on, Pooja!" "It's seven in the morning!" "The sun is up, Pooja." "What the hell...!" "What are you up to, you idiot?" "Is this the way to wake someone up?" "I'm so sorry, but seeing you fast asleep, I just couldn't resist it!" "How could I miss out on such an opportunity?" "Listen, get ready quickly." "We've got to go to the airport." "Airport?" "Are you going somewhere?" "No." "WE are going somewhere." "WE?" "And where are we going?" "Well, it's not far from India, it's very near." "We'll return by tonight's flight." "Get ready quickly!" "I can't understand a word of what you're saying!" "It's very simple." "I have to go on some business." "It will take me just an hour, just sign some papers and then I am free." "If you come along, you'll see a new city as well as do some shopping." "And anyway I am leaving for London tomorrow." "That leaves only today... which I want to spend with you." "But Ajay, I must find out if it's okay with Uncle and Aunty." "I've already got their approval." "It's only you who has to decide!" "So fatty, are you coming or not?" " Of course, I am coming!" " Then hurry up and get ready." " The flight is on time." " Wait a minute..." " What's that under your eye?" " Where...?" "Now wait, you fatty...!" "Never mind." "I'll get you for this." "Come and get me." "You're going shopping, aren't you?" "We'll see!" "The heart is crazy, the heart is mad." "The heart is crazy, the heart is mad." "The very first time lovers meet, it sets their bodies on fire." "Very slowly it teaches love, it makes them laugh, and it makes them cry." "It keeps them awake all night, it steals the sleep from their eyes" "It shows true and false dreams... it makes them laugh, and it makes them cry." "Those who follow the heart are known to be crazy" "They discover their destination, but cannot find the path." "I don't need to see his face, I don't need to know his name either." "I don't need to think or worry, because my heart will know him." "We all listen to what the heart says... the heart doesn't listen to anyone," "I've given my life to him, yet everyone knows, but he." "So be it, give up these stories, all these signs of madness," "All people's worries are all thanks to this crazy heart." "Well, Ajay Sahib..." "it's time for you to go." "Now I have to go." "Did you say something?" "Pooja, I want to say something to you." "Say what you want to say." "This quick business trip of a couple of days was all a pretence." "I came here for something else." "It's been eight years since I left India." "In these years I've earned enough of respect and money." "But life has been too hectic." "I want to settle down now." "And whenever I close my eyes... to think whom I would like to spend the rest of my life with... it is always your face that I see." "I don't know how or when my feelings for you turned to love." "But I don't know anything about your mind." "Or if there is anyone in your life or not." "That is what I came here to find out." "I don't know what you think about me." "I don't even know if you would want to spend your whole life with me." "But I know for sure that I love you and I want to marry you." "I'm going towards the departure gate." "Once I've got there I'll turn round and look." "If your answer is yes, then you'll be standing here." "And if you're not here then I'll understand." "And one more thing." "Don't forget that whatever your decision is... we were friends, we are friends, and we'll always be friends." "And who knows, tomorrow it may also happen to you." "Perhaps you will marry a man whom you only know... but whom you don't love." "Then you will realise later that he was the man... for whom you were waiting." "But why did you keep standing there?" "Sometimes I'm so happy when I make someone else happy... that I can't think of anything else." "You should have seen his face, Anjali!" "He was so happy." "I have never seen him so happy ever before." "And your happiness?" "You don't love him, Pooja!" "Love will happen in due course and we are Indian girls." "We can't choose our own husbands... so someone else chooses our husbands for us." "We learn to love them." "Isn't that true?" "At last you have left your girlish dreams and become a woman." "No, Anjali." "The girl has become a woman... but she has not given up her dreams." "She believes in them completely, even now." "She is sure that Ajay is the one for whom she was always waiting... and perhaps it was HE who was taking HIS time to show her." "I'm certain that Ajay will make you very happy." " Hi, doctor..." " There's no need to worry." "It's a small fracture." "She'll go home in a week or so." "I told you Nisha would start dancing again in a week." "I was talking about going home, not about dancing." "She won't be able to dance for about three months." "Three months?" "Yes, Rahul." "Her heel is very delicate." "If she doesn't take care then this fracture could recur... and it could be more serious." "Does she know this." "May I see her?" "Of course." "You don't need my permission." "Whose going to get me a cup of tea?" "God!" "You won't learn to knock." "Don't give me a lecture." "I have something very important to discuss." "Okay, what is it?" "Can you see me properly?" "How many fingers?" "See, your Doctor Kapoor isn't up to much, in my opinion." "Get a check-up with another doctor." "Why?" "This doctor was talking about getting you discharged in a week." " So what?" " No, no I can't allow this." "It's been difficult getting you admitted into a hospital." "You should spend at least a month or two in here." "And while you are away, we'll also have some peace." "You're always making fun of me." "I hate you." "She has gone mad with the pain..." "I'm sorry that I've put you to so much of trouble." "You've taken all the money from the sponsor... and how will you get a dancer so quickly?" "And for three months, I..." "There's no need for you to worry." "Why do you think you're such a good dancer?" "In this town there are many such dancers." "But you'll never get..." "We'll never get another dancer like you." "Now you don't worry about this." "You have a nice rest and I'll come see you in the evening." "I'll bring some food." "We'll eat together." "Why are you worried?" "It will all work out." "How will it all work out?" "We've taken money from the sponsors and paid a deposit for the stadium." "And most of all, where will we get another dancer like Nisha?" "Come on, friends, if we try, do you think we can't find one good dancer?" "These days there are so many dance schools." "There is one close to our rehearsal hall." "We'll find a dancer there tomorrow." "How about that, Rahul?" "Come on!" "Relax!" "Whatever happens will be for the best." "Let's go and have some cold beer." "No, thanks." "You go ahead." "I'm not in the mood." "Lay off, he's tired." "Come on, let's go." "Maya, I'll find her." "Water, water..." "The sandwich man!" "Shanti... has a parcel come here by mistake?" "I haven't come for a parcel today." "Then tell me what I can do for you." " I want to meet your daughter." " I don't have a daughter." " No daughter?" " No." "Then sir, this Miss Pooja Malhotra..." "Pooja is like my daughter." "But how do you know her?" "I saw her last night." "Last night?" "Where?" "In the dancing school." "She dances beautifully." " And so?" " So, I wanted to meet her." " Why?" " I wanted to ask her something." " What did you want to ask her?" " Sort of, would she, with me..." " With you... what?" " If she wanted to work with me." "What work?" "I'm doing a play and I'm looking for a dancer." "You are doing a play." "Are you a director?" "Yes." "I am sorry." "I am sorry!" "Why didn't you say that in the first place?" "I said so, when you asked me." " Actually, I am a singer." " I see." "I've done years of practice." "As it happens with many great artistes... you really don't meet many connoisseurs." "You've met me today." "You don't know how lucky you are!" "Sir, I have come to meet Pooja." "Now that you have met me, you will meet Pooja, too!" "I won't give you more than seventy-five rupees." "Eighty rupees." "No less." "Only last week I bought it at that price." "This is the right price." "Taste it and see how sweet it is." "I will give you only seventy-five Rupees." " Show me the watermelon." " Here you are, sir." "Seventy-five is the right price." "How many do you want, Madam?" " Just one." "Pack this for Madam." "But..." "It's your first sale in the day." "And you're haggling for 5 bucks!" "Be a sport!" "Recognise me?" "We met last night at your dancing school." "Remember?" "You must have heard of me?" " No." " Well, never mind." "Actually you are a pretty good dancer." "Actually, I'm doing some music shows and I need a special dancer... for a special role." "When I saw you dancing yesterday..." "I thought that you would be ideal for this." "So what do you think?" "Would you be interested?" " No thanks." " I've had it!" "Damn the watermelon!" "My career's at stake!" "Excuse me, but perhaps you misunderstand me." "I'm talking to you about no ordinary show." "It's a very high-class show with a very high-class audience... and I am sure you will also enjoy doing it." "Why don't you try it once?" "I'm a dancer." "But I am afraid of dancing on stage in front of an audience." " Why are you afraid?" " I don't think I can do it." "Excuse me, I'm sorry, but you see..." "I'm really in difficulty." "The thing is that my lead dancer has fractured her foot... and I've already taken all the money for the show." "Now if the show does not go on, not only will I suffer monetarily... but my reputation will take a big blow."
