"Nonsense!" "Here's the passport, the air-tickets, a taxi's waiting" "We'll soon be far away from India" "Far from the police and Sonachand" "I can escape from the police and Sonachand but I cannot escape from myself" "So you plan to run away with the money" "All the doors are closed" "You want this money?" "We must distribute it" "All this money, every cent, including a counterfeit coin" "And the jewels of a lady who dreamt of marrying" "How will you distribute it?" "If you can, then here it is" "Is this place a maze?" "Where are you taking it to?" "It is my money" "Traitors!" "I raised you from the gutter and made you rich" "And you defy me?" "My money!"
