"How is the ring?" "Topaz!" "Depends on choice." "I prefer only sapphire." "I'm more interested in a topaz." "Big glittering ones like this one." "I'm getting married." "My fiance gave me this ring." "Congratulations, that's good news."" "Congratulations!" "Who's he?" " You wouldn't know him." "I met him at a party a month ago." "Said he never met a girl like me before." "He's quite fast." "He proposed marriage immediately." "Good enough." "But you agreed?" " I couldn't help it." "He said he'd kill himself if I refused." "Poor chap!" "How long have you been knowing him?" " I think around... 3 months and 19 days." " You must lay the matter straight." "You just can't put it on hold." " Everyone isn't as fast... as the one with topaz rings!" " I should be leaving." "He won't let me wait too long." " I'll drop you at the bus-stop." "It's all right." "I came here by car." "His car." "Car too?" "Diamond ring... car..." "how did Hazel hook him?" "He's rich too." "He must be aged." "He could be young too." "Hazel herself is quite attractive." ""Attractive, my foot!" "You're no less."" "You think she came here to inform you about her engagement?" "She came here to show off that a boy can be hooked in a trice." "Will you keep playing over our heads all night?" "Nancy can't find a suitor!" "Why get mad at me?" "Why do you worry over me?" "Mind you own business." "How sick!" "Is Tony's job confirmed?" "Or is he still earning a paltry 300?" "No idea." "Welcome." "It's been quite long." " Yes." "But I'll leave soon." " I know." "Have lunch before you leave" "All right." "I'll leave immediately after lunch." "All right." "What else?" "How're you?" " I'm quite fine." "Did you find a suitable boy for Nancy?" " Yes." "We've seen one." "Is it?" "How is he?" " Nice boy." "Polite and decent." "He often visits us." " How long has the acquaintance been?" "It's been four months." " Four months?" "And the alliance is not yet finalised?" " Not yet." "And you couldn't know what he feels..." "if he's willing to marry or not." "Times have changed now." "They insist that four months is not enough." "Beats me." "Four months!" "And the boy hasn't talked about marriage yet?" "Bad times." "When did you come?" " Morning." "I was about to leave." "But Rosy asked me to stay back." "I'll go tomorrow morning." "Go after tomorrow's lunch." " No." "I'll leave early." "What's the hurry?" "Stay back for a few days." "Right." "Saby!" "Come here, son!"" "Play it here." "Aunt would like to listen." ""Why did you stop?" " Go slow, don't rush it up."" ""Am I not singing properly?" " You'd better play it, Saby."" "She'll get it right this time." "You stopped again?" "Can't you play it properly?" "No!" "Saw that?" "Nancy's here." ""So late?" " It's Saturday, so I went for a movie"" "Who accompanied you?" " Tony." "The same boy whom I told you about." " I'll join you soon." "Sit here for a while." "Why do you turn away?" "I need to talk to you." "I'm told you've been dating Tony since four months?" "Yes." "I know him since three months." " How long can you go on like this?" "Go on?" "What?" " Aunt wants to know..." ""it's been so many days, why doesn't he discuss marriage?"" "I'm not allowed to discuss." " Why should you?" "It's between them." "Is she not Nancy's mother?" " It's only been three months." "I haven't thought of marrying yet." " You haven't thought of marrying?" "What did you do all these months?" "And what a strange boy!" "Why is he wasting your time?" " Why should he waste my time?" "I like Tony, so I keep meeting me."" ""You should've at least asked him about his job, his earnings..."" "whether he can manage a family..." " Please!" "Such things you ought to find out only while fixing the wedding." "Who cares otherwise?" " Nancy is quite weak in this regard." "It's beyond her capacity." "Let me warn you." "Don't mind but I talk from experience." "That boy'll never marry her." "Get it?" ""Until you rein them down, boys will keep slipping out of your hands."" ""Moreover, Nancy's been seeing the boy since the last four months..."" ""and nothing's come up yet." "Heed me, better forget that boy."" ""Ask the priest to find her a boy, or advertise in the papers."" "Or talk to a matchmaker." " Matchmaker?" "Advertise?" "Grandma!" "What's wrong about it?" "My wedding too happened through a matchmaker." ""Nancy, it's late." "Go, freshen up and have dinner."" "And then you can wish grandma goodbye." "Who knows?" "She might leave early!" "Goodbye grandma." "I expect you back soon." ""Good night folks." "Let's go, Maria."" "My mother's aunt comes over sometimes." "She always says she'll leave early." "But she always stays over for a couple of days." "She pestered me last night." "She was asking why we haven't married yet... after dating for four months." " What did you reply?" "What could I say?" "I told her that we haven't thought about it at all." "It must've infuriated her!" " Let her be." "Why should we bother?" "We'll take our own decisions." "Why does she have to meddle in it?" "Right you are." "It's different at my place." "That's why I haven't taken you home yet." "If mother gets to know that I'm dating you... she would create a big scene." " Why would she?" "Why?" "Because I'm still a kid." "I don't have brains." "My mother will decide for me." " What if your mother finds out?" ""I'll express shock,"How can I date a girl?" "You must've heard wrong?""" "I can't think of marriage yet" ""What about your father?" " With him, it's different."" ""He's understanding." "Whenever I need something, I seek his help."" "I wish my father was alive." "Let's go and meet this interesting relative of yours." ""But she must've already left." " Come on, let's go."" "Bye Rosy." "Two days passed by so quickly." ""Thanks, it relieved me of some burden." "When would you return now?"" "Soon." "I'm very concerned about Nancy." "Is he Nancy's Tony?" " Yes." "And she's Philomena, my aunt!"" "Please come." ""You were supposed to leave in the morning." "Come in, Tony."" "Only today Nancy told me about you..." " I've heard a lot about you." ""Sit for a while, aunt." "Tony's here." "Leave after a cup of coffee."" ""Yes, grandma." "Sit for a while, please."" "Good you came." " Where're you going?" "It has been 2 days now." "I'm leaving." " Stay back for 2 more days." "I'll play something for you tonight." "You haven't played for me yet." " Here I go." "I'll sing to your music." "Say what?" ""You may leave, grandma." "Bye." " You asked me to stay back..."" "and you're quitting?" " How can I desert you?" ""Sit, I'll play for you." " All right."" "You have a girlfriend?" " I'm on the lookout." "Can't find one." "I want a girl who is much taller than me." "What are you raving?" " A man must marry a girl... taller than him." " Why?" "If the wife is taller she'll always talk with her head lowered." ""On the other hand, the man will reply with his head held high."" ""Always fooling around!" "Come on, play it now."" "Sing a song for everyone to dance" ""Joys and sorrows are part of life...""" "so smile and make others smile" ""Those lovely days and lovely nights, I remember every meeting""" ""No sorrows torment me, nor do I have any complaints...""" ""o'my companion, ever since I met you""" "A flower that I am, protect me"" ""Joys and sorrows are part of life...""" "so smile and make others smile" ""Lifestyles have changed, styles have changed""" ""Wonder where discipline has vanished""" "Who cares for what they say..." ""now that you and I have fallen in love""" ""Now that you and I are one, come home to me, anytime without hesitation""" ""Joys and sorrows are part of life...""" "so smile and make others smile" ""Sing a song..." " For everyone to dance""" ""Joys and sorrows are part of life...""" "so smile and make others smile" "You play well you sing even better." "I should be leaving now." " Call us after you reach home." "Or we would be very concerned." " I'm concerned too." "What say?" "My aunt says that once you're well-acquainted... marriage should follow soon." " Not again!" ""It was nice meeting you." " Of course, you would be pleased."" "I'm off." "Do as I've advised you." "You go and meet Tony's parents." "Yes." "I'll talk with Tony about it." "One can never trust the boys of the new generation." ""I told you, no use meeting her." "But still you insisted..."" ""So what, Nancy?" " Aren't we going for a movie?"" "Let your mother return." "Won't you offer me coffee?" "We'll have coffee outside." " You haven't made coffee yet?" ""Tony wants to drink it elsewhere." "Let's go, Tony."" "We're going to watch a movie." " Sit." "Why hurry?" "There's still time." "How's your mother?" " She's fine." "I would like to meet your mother once." " Of course." "Why not?" "Let's go." "We'll be late." "See you aunt." "Of course." "What're you doing this evening?" " Nothing." "I'll stay at home." "Let's watch a movie." "Sylvia has sent 2 tickets." "I hear it's a good movie." "Nobody gives away tickets to a good movie." "Let's go." "We're not spending anyway." " I'm not even going to the club." "I'm dead tired." "You can take Tony along." ""Whenever I ask you for an outing, you act as if you're tired."" ""I'm going out, Mummy." "I got some work." " Listen to me."" "Let's go for a movie." "I hear it's a good movie." "Which movie?" "It's a good film." "Sylvia has sent me the ticket." "Mehmood is the hero." "I've seen that movie." "You go along with dad." "It's a comedy flick." "Mehmood is quite funny." "You may go ahead." "Take dad along." ""As it is, the two of you haven't laughed together for a long time now."" "Where're you going?" "Do you feel embarrassed to come along with me?" "Am I meant for washing clothes?" "For cooking?" "And for serving you?" ""I just have to talk, and the two of you get fired up."" ""Better hurry up!" " It's dark, I can't walk any faster."" "He makes us laugh so much!" " Yes." "Lot more coming." "The film is a full-fledged comedy." "Have you seen the film?" " I'm seeing it for the third time." "Stop talking." "Watch the movie quietly." "Why do you disturb others?" "You keep your mouth shut." "Who's talking to you?" "This girl is acting quite well." "New face." "My son knows her." "She lives in Khar." "Her mother had come home once." "We often meet at the Khar bazaar." "The Khar bazaar is quite expensive." "No." "I know few shops that are very reasonable." "Please help yourself." "I buy snacks before entering the hall." "I feel hungry while watching movies." "Digestion is no problem for the ladies I guess." "Tell us what food you eat, ladies?"" "Well!" "I never wanted to come." "I've seen the film twice." "Then I thought what'd I do at home." ""Tony has taken after you." "Same eyes, nose..."" "Here you are with Tony." "But had I met you at the bazaar..." "I'd still have recognised you." ""I've been asking him to introduce you folks, to get you over for dinner."" "I even told him we'd go over." "Didn't I tell you?" ""Yes." "Mummy, she's Mrs Pereira." "That's her daughter Nancy."" "And he is Nancy's younger brother." "This is my Mummy." "I'm so glad to meet you." "I used to always ask him about you." "You're such a good lady." " You're being too kind." "I told him many times to introduce Nancy to his parents." "A mother has the right to know about the girl whom her son intends to marry" "Ain't I right?" "I asked him if he felt embarrassed to introduce Nancy to his parents?" "Didn't I tell you?" "Our Nancy is like an open book." "Why do we have to conceal facts?" ""We know for sure that if we're good, everybody will be good to us."" "So many boys are desirous of marrying Nancy." "But I've told her pointblank to marry Tony if she so desires." "We're parents." "We'll do as our daughter desires." "Mother seems to be too fond of me." "Isn't she embarrassing me?" "Don't pay heed to what she says." "That's like her." "Look!" "The beard will inspire the hero to turn into an ascetic." "The girl will not recognise the boy." "She'll mistake him for an ascetic." "Let it be." "I'm seeing the story unfold on screen." ""Don't stop her." "Had I known earlier, I'd have heard the story from her."" "I wouldn't have wasted my money." ""The ascetic removes his beard, and the girl recognises him..."" "Please... or I'll go away from here." "Did I say anything wrong?" " You'd better keep quiet." "Should strangers tell us what our son is upto?" "Is it the time to question me?" "How long have you been at it?" " We'll talk later." "Keep quiet for now." " I'm going home." "Sit here and enjoy yourself." "Do as you like." "I'm not sitting here." "What'll these people think?" " You're more concerned about them?" "She must've turned sick." "I'll go and see for myself." "No, sit here."" "I would've told you someday." "Why get so worked up?" "Am I a kid?" ""Yes, you are." "Have you done anything worthwhile?"" "I just saw the sample of your love." " Nancy's a nice girl." "So you've finalised everything?" "And you didn't feel the need to inform us?" "Would you care to invite us to your wedding?" "There's a limit to everything." "All right." "Let's go home." "Bad film?" "You returned quite early." "Something more interesting came up." "I had the opportunity to... meet his would-be mother-in-law and wife." "Is it?" "How is his wife?" "I've told you not to talk too much." "But no!" "You cannot control yourself." "Did I say something wrong?" " Why did you've to speak so much?" ""She wasn't saying much, after all." " She was Tony's mother, after all."" ""Moreover, that was the first time we met." "Why shouldn't I talk to her?"" "Mummy is right." " Why should you bother to talk?" "So what if she is Tony's mother?" ""Besides, walking out and insulting us isn't decency."" "I wonder why she walked away." "Whatever I spoke was for your sake." "Stop thinking about me." ""Nancy's right." " Shut up, will you?"" "When you meet Tony tomorrow..." " I'm not meeting him." "Ask him once what happened." " I'm not asking anyone anything." "What a family!" "They're thrusting their daughter upon us." ""They know the boy is an idiot, can easily be trapped."" "Am I an idiot?" " What else?" "Whoever befriends such a family?" "Trying to force themselves upon you." "All the while she was blabbering." "She might be talking a lot, but..."" "Why does she talk so much?" "Have you ever thought about it?" "What's there to think about?" " There is." "You have no idea." ""Was she mannerly, she would've kept quiet."" "Forging a relationship with such a family... and that too on the sly." "Tell us if you want to marry." "I'll get you a hundred nice girls." "When did I say I want to marry?" " Why do you go to meet that girl?" ""This is ridiculous!" "I just know them, so I go over."" "How come you just know them?" "Why is that woman muttering about marriage?" "Beats me." " Must be a good family..." ""with a sound background, and some etiquette."" "That family doesn't lack in anything." ""Don't you ever mention them again!" " I'm fed of all this, Mummy."" ""Of course you'll be fed up." "We're concerned about you, after all."" "Let me think about my own good." "Don't you worry." "Your mother is at fault." "And you turn away your face?" ""If you don't want to talk, you may not." "Who cares?"" "You misbehaved and left the theatre." "And now you act pricey?" "So what if you don't look at me?" "I've seen your type." "Go and meet him once." "What's the harm in it?" "No." " Why not?" "It's their fault." "Why should we plead with them?" "All right." "You don't go." "I'll talk with them." ""No." "You won't." "Else, you'll have to face it."" "Don't be angry." "One should find a way out." "There's a way out." "Both of us will behave like strangers again." "But you'd meet him in the train?" " No." "I won't travel by 9.10 anymore." "Alone today?" " Yes." "Shall I accompany you to the station?" " No." "I'll manage." "Let me come with you." " No." "I'll manage." "Okay, bye."" "You need not travel by train anymore." " The season ticket was still valid." "Why did you have to tear it?" " Was it your ticket?" "Keep quiet." ""Travel by bus." "Besides, you're paid more now." "If you need more money..."" "I'll give it to you." "You need not see that girl anymore." "Take this 20 rupees." "Buy another season ticket." ""How long can darkness reign my heart?""" "Gloomy days will end someday" ""Joys and sorrows are part of life""" "The season of autumn will pass" "Spring is round the corner" "Gloomy days will end someday" ""No matter how fierce the breeze is...""" "trust yourself..." ""the one who was separated from you...""" "will come back to you" "For, gloomy days have to end"" ""No matter what they say, but the truth is...""" "waves of love that rise... find the shores" "And gloomy days will be over" "You've come so early today?" " I'd not have found Nancy otherwise" "Please sit down." "Eat something." " Did you come in your car?" "No." "I'm getting married on the 28th." "You must come." "Of course we'll come." "Are you marrying the guy who gave you the topaz ring?" ""Topaz ring, my foot!" "That ring was a fake one." "I returned it."" "I'm marrying another boy." "It's Julie's brother." "Isn't he employed in Dubai?" " Yes." "The same one." "He is here on a holiday." "I met him 8 days ago." "The marriage is on the 28th." " Lucky girl." "You must be meeting Tony." "Will you give him this card?" "I've stopped travelling by the same train." "I don't meet him anymore." "You must be meeting him elsewhere?" " Tony doesn't come here anymore." "Why?" " Nancy doesn't want to meet him." "Why?" "What happened?" " Are you here to enquire about Tony?" ""Why?" "What's wrong in it?" " If you're through, get lost."" "I won't." " Give me his address." "I'll post it." "We don't even know his address." " Don't know his address?" "You never went to his home?" " He never took her along." "He was always visiting us for 4 months." "I used to tell Nancy to enquire about him." "What's the point in repeating it?" "I think that he was not serious about marriage." "That's why he never told you where he lives." "All men are alike." ""I always ask if the boy is willing to marry, else I ask him to get lost."" ""Welcome, aunt." " I won't stay for too long."" "I've cooked biryani." "Go after lunch." " All right." "How's Nancy doing?" " How should I put it?" "The boy doesn't meet her anymore." "I'll be back soon." ""Sit here." "I told you, I was certain the boy was wasting Nancy's time."" "That's why I've come to you." " What's the matter?" ""You know my neighbour, Fernandes?" "It's his sister's son."" "He's employed here in Bombay." "He has a huge mansion in Goa." "I've asked Fernandes to come here along with his sister and the boy." "You ask Nancy not to go outside this Sunday." ""If you say, I'll invite them to lunch." " Let me ask Tom..."" "Why do you have to ask Tom?" "Do you know what the boy earns?" "1200 per month!" " Really?" ""Yes." "He's a nice boy, I've seen him..." "he was 12 years old then."" "What did you say?" "You've cooked biryani?" "Won't you go to work today?" " No." "All right." "Stay at home." "It's Saturday anyway." "Half-day." "Will you eat something?" " No." "Why don't you eat something?" " I don't feel like it." ""Come with me to the church, Tony." "I need you."" "What is it?" " Your mother might overhear us." ""Come." "It's something important." "Come on, change your dress."" "Tell me something..." "tell me the truth." "After your mummy met the girl at the cinema and walked away... did you meet the girl afterwards?" " No." "Why?" "Have you changed your mind?" "What use asking all this?" " I'm asking you." "What's the harm in telling me?" " I haven't changed my mind." "But because of mother or whatever..." "Moron!" ""You think matters will be laid to rest by not meeting her,"" ""A boulder skidding down a cliff can only be stopped at the top, not midway"" "Who can stop me if I don't wish to maintain any contact with her?" "No." "I'm fed up of it." " Fed up with whom?" "With Mummy... with her mother..." "with myself." "What does mother expect of me?" "Don't you know what she expects?" "She wants you to remain a kid always." "But I'm not a kid." " Why don't you act like a man then?" "What do you want from me?" "You shouldn't be bothered about what others want from you." "You must decide on your own about your likes and dislikes." "That girl... what's her name?" " Nancy." "You got to tell her what she must do." "Wait for you?" "Or forget you?" ""How can I say that, Dad?" " Then who will?" "Your dad?"" ""After all, you are the one in love." " Yes, I love her."" "But when it comes to wedding..." " Love is no game." "Won't you marry her?" " I haven't thought about marriage." "In that case, you don't love her."" "No, that's not the truth."" "Perhaps I still love her." " Perhaps?" "Okay!" "I really love her." " Then what's the hitch?" "I don't want to marry at this stage." ""I want to keep seeing her, and let the friendship grow." "That's all."" ""It doesn't happen that way, Tony." "At least not with a decent girl."" "She will always desire to marry and settle down." ""If you're not serious about marriage, you'd better inform her clearly."" "But she knows my views about marriage." "Fine." "But her views?" "Have you asked her what she feels?" "Let's go." ""Do as you wish." "Don't marry, if you don't want to."" "But you're a man." "So be a man and tell her you don't want to marry her." "Let her marry elsewhere." "I don't want my son to ruin a girl's life." "All right." "I'll tell her on Monday." " Now way!" "Tell her today... now!" "Telephone her at her office." " I don't have her office number." "Her telephone number is 262628." "How do you know?" "I may know it anyhow." "You need not know about it." "May I speak to Ms Nancy Pereira?" "Tony here." ""What's the matter?" " Today is Saturday, half-day."" "I'd like to meet you." " I can't come." "I'm going out." "It won't take long." "Only 10 minutes." "I can't tell you over the telephone." "It'll take you only 10 minutes." " All right." "At 4 p.m." "The same spot where we used to meet." ""Nancy, you're a nice girl." "And I love you."" "But I don't like hastening things up." " I never asked you to hasten it up." "I know that you didn't." "But your words hardly matter." "The way your mother is after me for wedding..." "No, I'm not against your mother."" "But the wedding music she begins to play on seeing me..." "I can't take that." ""I can't be forced into doing anything." "Besides, wedding is a serious thing."" "In fact I'm not yet ready to get into this mess" "No, don't say that."" "Going out?" " Yes." "But you said you won't be going anywhere." "Where're you going?" "To meet Nancy." " What?" ""Yes, to meet Nancy." " Then I'm coming with you"" "Stop interfering in my matters." "I'll handle my affairs on my own." "To explain that was why dad took you outside?" ""I'm saying this, not Dad." " And what'll you tell Nancy?"" "That I'm not marrying now." "If she is in a hurry she may marry elsewhere." "Say that." "That's fine." "And get back soon." "I've been promoted." " Is it?" "And the Managing Director says..." " What's your salary now?" "550" " That's good news." "Do one thing..." "I'll be right back." "I've got company." " Welcome." "Is Nancy at home?" " Yes." "But I'll leave soon." " All right." ""You were supposed to come tomorrow, on Sunday?"" "Yes." "I thought of letting them see Nancy." "Didn't I tell you about that boy?" ""She's the boy's grandma, and she's his aunt."" "They live in my neighbourhood." "They're here to see Nancy." "His aunt is very fond of him." "She has made him her successor." "She was asking about girl's looks." "So I told her to come along and see for herself." "Where's Nancy?" ""That's Nancy." "Come, dear."" "I'm going out." "I'm in a hurry." " Go afterwards." "We have guests." "Sit." "I'll make tea." " No need." "You'd better sit here." "Why're you standing?" "Sit here." " You sit where you are." "Come here... sit here." ""Take a look." "How is she for Francis?" " Nice, very nice."" "I'm leaving." "She is feeling shy." " Got some work." "She'll be back soon." "Tomorrow is Sunday." "I'll bring Francis and his father to the church." "Why did you walk out?" "What's the matter?" "I love you." "I know about it." "But..." "You may take your own time to decide." "I can wait for you all my life." "I'm leaving." "I've to reach urgently somewhere." "Listen to me!" "I was delayed a bit." "It's all right." "I've to discuss a few important things with you." "I too have to discuss something important with you." "Before you speak anything..." " No." "Let me speak first." ""While on my way, I've decided..." " I've also decided that..."" "I'll tell you that..." " Whatever has happened has happened." "I'll never meet you again." "What?" " I'll never meet you again." "I had come to say we'll not marry now." "But why shouldn't we meet again?" "No." "Whatever I've experienced by not meeting you..." "Won't you meet me?" " I'm not a fool." "I can understand everything." "I know that you don't like my mother." ""But she's my mother, after all." "Perhaps she's a little naive..."" "but all that she does is for my welfare." "But..." " I don't want anybody... to marry me out of force." " Who would marry you out of force?" "Whoever marries you would be a fortunate man." "I've told you what I had to say." "We shall not meet henceforth." "Look at me." "Nobody is forcing me." "And I know what your mother desires." "I have a mother too." "The funny thing is that both of them wish us well." "But what they say..." "Listen to me." "I'm not a kid." "I'm an adult." "My job's been confirmed too." "Trust me I've nothing against your mother." "If your mother desires that both of us get married... why shouldn't we fulfill her desires?" "Yes." "I mean it." "I wonder why I hadn't been able to decide till now." ""I was in a quandary." "When I left home to meet you, I'd decided..."" "that I'll tell you that I'm not interested in marriage as of now." "But when you told me that we won't meet ever again..." ""I don't know how, but everything went haywire."" "And now... today... here..." "by the seashore..." ""all of a sudden, I can see everything so clearly."" "I cannot live without you." "One more strange thing happened today." "While coming here..." ""I saw a couple just-married, coming out of the church."" "Everybody was so happy." "The bride as well as the bridegroom." "It occurred to me that there's no harm in marriage." "Everybody's so happy with it." "So many thoughts cross a man's mind." "Sometimes it's so hard to believe." "Poor Henry!" "Why did he have to tell me while I was on my way here?" "I'm in a quandary since then." "He should've known about me and Tony." "I shouldn't delay any longer." "I should decide for myself." "I never dreamt of such an end to this meeting." "That's great!" "How wonderful!" "Thanks for giving me Nancy's phone number." "Thank you for sending Tony here." "But Dad you... and Uncle you?" ""I tracked down your father, met him, and..."" "Let's go now." "Got to go to the church tomorrow and fix everything." ""Francis, let's decide it today." " We'll fix the date of wedding too."" "They're here." ""Good you came, aunt." "I was supposed to come to you."" "Nancy is marrying Tony at 3 p.m. Today." ""Aunt, won't you congratulate both of them?" "Come on."" "Please come closer." "Let's change places."
