"You look so nice..." "Are you still here?" "!" "I thought you'd left ages ago!" " I overslept." " Jump in, I'll drive you." " No...!" " Can't we get a new car, mum?" "Yes, we will..." "Why?" "There's no need." "There's nothing wrong with this one..." "I'll take my bike." " How will you get to work?" " I think it's coming now..." "I'll take the bus, or a taxi." "Bye, my love." "Take care." "OK, my name is Kurt." "I'm the swimming teacher here." "I'm your PE teacher for today." " Hi..." "I overslept." " It's all right." "Check in Erik..." "He has a crush on you." " Katja is such a bimbo!" " Look at her!" " What are you looking at, darling?" " What do you want?" " The shower's free." "We could..." " Go to hell!" " Are we hot-tempered today?" " Pervert!" "Katja..." "Ebba..." "You've trained with me and know the routine." "Can you show us?" "Let's start before the water evaporates!" " Sorry..." " Sometimes I hate your dad." "Me too..." "After Ebba's and Katja's demonstration we'll group you in twos and you'll do the same thing." "But the water's cold!" "It's a question of willpower." "Hate the water and love the tiles." "No-one sees your tears in the water, but everyone sees who wins." "On your places..." "Ready..." "Couldn't you do better?" "Fine, Katja." "Good!" "That bitch..." "Why do the boys like her?" " Must be something primitive." " I wonder what they really think of her." "They probably say a lot when they're on their own." "OK, a little higher..." "Ebba, I can't breathe!" "It hurts!" "How about now?" "Perverts!" "How do you survive the embarrassment?" " Erik probably just thought it was fun." " Sure..." " What's that?" " I don't know, but isn't it neat?" "Oh, God..." " Hello..." " Hi." "Hi..." " How's your head?" " Fine." "That's good." "Yes, wasn't it?" " Well, take care." " You too." "He's standing in front of you, and you just sit there and say nothing, like this..." " Did you get a wryneck?" " No..." "You have to go for it." "You can't wait until you're a hundred." "But you'll be dead soon." "Who cares what he thinks?" " Run over and give him a hug." " No." "Camilla..." "Don't come here, don't come here..." "I charge a thousand crowns, but if you're nice, you'll get a discount." "You're sick in your head." " How is your head, dear?" " Don't touch me!" "Get lost!" "How disgusting can you get?" "!" "Rickard Ekman, the world's most disgusting person..." " I want to change." " What?" "I should have done this a long time ago." "I never thought you'd dare." " Can't you take off the plastic bag?" " No." "It works better like that." " But it itches." " It does that sometimes." "Relax and read a little." "Who are you calling?" "Who are you calling?" "Hi, Erik..." "Would you like to meet up with Ebba and me?" "We're at Ebba's house." "OK, see you then." "Why did you do that?" "You want to see him, and it'll never happen otherwise." " You could have left it to me." " Then it would never happen." " What do I do now?" " He won't get here so fast." "You'll have time to get ready." "It says 30 minutes." " I've had it on for 50 minutes!" " Wasn't it 60 minutes?" " God, it itches!" " Sit down and take it easy." " It itches like crazy!" " Just sit down." "Just take it easy." "I'm sorry." "Oops..." ""Copper"...?" "Oops..." "Now you'll go downstairs and make it very clear that I can't see him." "OK?" " I was in the neighbourhood." " Yes, obviously." "Wait a second, while I see how Ebba is doing." " Can you come out?" " What do you think...?" "Ebba suddenly got a bad stomach ache." "Now she's on the loo and will have to stay there for a while." " Did she get it right after you called?" " Yes, that's right." "I don't mind waiting." "There's really no point." "When she gets this, it's really bad." "It can take several hours." "Poor thing..." " So you want me to leave?" " Yes." "That man just talked and talked!" "I never thought I'd get away." " Did you find the soup?" "Did you eat it?" " Yes." " Was it good?" " No." "Yes, it was good." "Finally, I told him that I had to get home to my daughter." "Then he let me go." " Perhaps he liked you." " I'm not that desperate...." "What are you reading?" " Did you get the car going?" " Yes, just as I was about to give up." " What have you done to your hair?" " I experimented with colour today." "Why?" "Your hair is so beautiful." "But we don't understand those things we're young..." "What happened to your forehead?" " I slipped in the shower at school." " Did it hurt?" "No..." "When are we going to India?" "Slipping in the shower...?" "Don't they have mats?" "They should have!" "When are we going to India?" "Soon." "I'll be paid well for these articles." " I want to know when we are going." " I can't tell you now, but we will go." "I promise." ""Dear Anita, I am sending you a Christmas greeting."" ""I do understand you and I will not judge you for not contacting me."" ""I will stop sending you any more letters." "Yours truly, Nira."" "Dear Anita, this must come as a surprise or rather a shock to you." "I am Ebba's biological mother." "I have through a lot of research managed to find out where you and Ebba live." "I will never force myself upon anyone of you, but I do want you to know my real background story." "I got pregnant when I was very young, and I ran away from my home." "I came to a kind woman 's home that helped me give birth to Ebba or Shivana as I named her." "After that we tried to survive on the streets." "It was very hard, but we got some help from a Hindu temple." "We could stay there for almost two years until it was no longer possible." "And then I had to give her up." "I always think about what happened to Ebba." "I just want to know how she is." "Hi..." "How is it going?" "Look at this." "What do you think?" "What is it?" "Has something happened?" "How are you?" "Who is it?" " It's Anita." " Take the back door." "Come in." " Is Ebba here?" " Yes, she's in there." " Do you need help?" " A little..." "Take hold at the middle." "I don't know what happened." " Are you OK?" " Sure." " It must feel better now..." " Great, actually." "I've always wanted to go back, but my mum keeps finding excuses not to go." "I have memories from there." "I remember a merry-go-round I was on." "And certain smells give me longings..." "but I didn't know what I longed for." "Now suddenly, I know..." "Camilla!" "Ebba!" "No!" "What?" "What happened?" "I thought we were going to town." " I went swimming." " Why didn't you tell me?" "I was going to, but you were asleep, and then Camilla called." "Yes, for something happened, something a bit upsetting." "What?" "My boyfriend broke up with me yesterday." "I felt sad and asked Ebba to come over." "Who's your boyfriend?" "Rickard." "It's just as well that it's over, because he's an idiot." "But it still makes you sad...of course." "I see..." "But, of course, I get worried when you just disappear." " Not really worried, but I wondered..." " I just went swimming." "Ebba, let's go out for dinner tonight." "Yes, let's do that." "OK." "Good." "See you later." "Good luck..." "Rickard...?" "!" "Sorry." "I couldn't come up with anyone else." "It's all right." "But aren't you going to tell Anita that you found the letters?" "No." "Dad and I can have some really bad fights, but we always make up in the end." " You don't fight about things like this." " That's true." "So, what are you going to do?" "I don't know." "Nira Kumar... your Indian mum." "You have both her e-mail and home address." "They've been lying in the wardrobe for two years." "Shouldn't you tell Anita that you found them?" "Tandoori chicken and tandoori chicken..." "There you are, beautiful ladies." "Oh, this looks good." "Isn't it lovely to be here?" "We should go out more often." "Two tickets for Romeo and Juliet..." "I thought we're saving up for our Indian trip, not wasting money on a lot of rubbish." "What's wrong?" "Are you getting sick?" "No, I'm fine." "Mum..." "When I was a baby before I came to Sweden..." "Is it really not possible to find out more?" "They only know was that you were found outside a children's home." "Is that really all that is known?" " Would you like some more?" " A glass of wine, please." "And you?" "A lassi perhaps?" "Have to go to the loo." " There you are." " Thank you." "Damn!" "Dear Nira, It is now time for me to contact you." "I have told Ebba about you." "She has very many questions and would very much like a photo of you." "Could you please mail me one?" "Yours truly, Anita Hultman." "Hello!" "Sorry if I startled you." "Why are you up so late?" "It's just some homework." "But...good night." "Good night." "Dear Anita, I am very happy that you contacted me." "Are you both well?" "Here is a recent photo of me." "Yours truly, Nira." "Are you there?" " I'm going to bed now." " You can't sit up all night." "You need to sleep." "Do you miss your mum?" "No..." "But it would have been nice if she had been here." "Why?" "My God!" "You've e-mailed her!" "Shit, you look so alike!" "What if you'd remained in Bombay with her." "Who would you be then?" "I don't know." "How strange." "What do you think she does at the hospital?" "At least she has a job." "Most women you see on TV, who give up their child, have no job." "No..." "Perhaps she's rich!" "No, she probably not rich..." " Hurry up, the training's starting." " I'm coming." " If I don't qualify, I'm giving it up." " Of course you will." "Good luck." "Don't forget your bag." "You know the score: under 59:40 you qualify." "I know you can do it, so show it!" "OK, here we go." "Ready..." "Come on!" "Good!" "Good, Katja!" "Good!" "We have one who's qualified!" "First time in our history!" "Congratulations, Katja!" "Good work!" "Ebba..." "Ebba, next time you'll do it as well." "Dear Anita, How did Ebba react to the photo?" "I was not sure it was the right thing to do." ""It would be better if we could see each other in person."" ""Please answer." "Yours truly, Nira."" " She wants to meet you!" " What do I write?" "What do you want to do?" "I want to meet her...but not with mum." "You want to go alone?" " Go without saying anything?" " Why not?" "There'll never be any trip with mum anyway." "At least, that's what it feels like..." "Anything can happen if you go to India alone." "It's really dangerous!" " Not if you come along." " What?" "We'd manage very well together." "You think so?" " Where would we get the money?" " We'll find a way." "What do you say?" " It's much better than to sit here and rot." " And you don't have to meet Rickard." "We can eat curry rice all day and play with pretty Indian boys!" "Dear Nira, Yes, we would like to visit you in India." "We don't know exactly when, but let's keep in touch." "Yours truly, Anita." "Now we're on our way." "Shit!" "Where do we find the money?" "This is worth a lot!" "1,500 crowns for a whole life!" "How humiliating!" "Help the poor Indians!" "They need your money!" "Help the poor Indians!" "Give a little money." "Here is a genuine Indian!" "RIDING CAMP FOR ADOPTED YOUTH" "Mum..." " Have you sold your article yet?" " Hold this." "What?" "Yes." "But I didn't get as much as I thought, of course." " So we can't go?" " Yes, of course we'll go." "Later." " I'd like to go to this camp." "It's 4,000 crowns." " What's that?" ""Adoption camp"..." "You haven't mentioned this before." " I thought it would be good." " Why?" "Why not?" "I'm adopted and would like to meet others like me." "I see..." "Are you sure you want to go?" " Yes..." "Why so suspicious?" " I have to do the math." "Going to an adoption camp doesn't mean that I have problems." " I'm fine." " Good." " If you give me the money, I'll send it in." " Ebba, I have check my finances first." " Mum, you were going to quit!" " Oh, my God!" "I thought I had quit!" "Remember what to say?" "Hi, we're from Roslagen's Ornithological Society and we're selling tickets for the benefit of birds..." "Bitch!" "Hi, we're from Roslagen's Ornithological Society..." "Hi, we're from Roslagen's Ornithological Society..." "NO JUNK MAIL" "And who are you?" "We're from Roslagen's Ornithological Society." " We're selling tickets for..." " ...for birds." " Birds?" " Yes..." "You can win a new car, a trip to Miami  a washing machine, a vacuum cleaner..." "The winners are listed each month in the paper." " Do you want one?" " Give it to me." "Nice." "It's nice to see young people do something useful." " He fell for it!" " He bought almost all of them!" "But for an entire year?" "BW have my kind of tampons on offer right now." "It's the only kind I can use." " Don't they get too old?" " You understand nothing." "You're a guy, and it's not your area." " It's very good to have a supply." " Exactly." "What if I have to go out late to buy them, and don't make it in time?" "There I am in my fine white trousers, bleeding..." "Enough!" "How do you think that feels?" "What if I stand there, and someone I know..." "You'll get it!" "Thanks, Dad!" "Bye." "He fell for it!" "5,000 crowns." "Do you find anything?" "Start working on you collage, and use your imagination." "We must find something cheap." "Animals do like you do." "Rickard, roll back!" "Roll back!" "He's so mature!" "We won't have to put up with that in India." " How many people live in India?" " Maybe a billion." "And half of them are boys." "10 percent of them should be good-looking." "How many is that?" "50 million good-looking guys  and me." "With the camp money, we'll have enough." "Has Anita said yes?" "No, but I think she will." "Good!" "Ouch!" "If you check your MSN, maybe I'll stop." "OK..." "What a damned idiot!" "Ebba and Camilla seem to be finished." "Let's see what you've done." "How can he think that I want to see him naked?" "With a giant cock!" "Forget him." "I must talk to mum about the camp." "Coming along?" "I have Spanish." "But call and let me know." "How is your stomach?" "My stomach...?" "Sometimes I get a stomach ache, but now it's fine." "My stomach is really fine." "That's good." "How is your stomach?" "It's fine." "Erik, come on." "We have to go." "Well... it was nice to see you." "See you later." "Mum, that adoption camp..." "It has to be paid by tomorrow." "I could do it." "Do you need help?" "Now it's quite broken." "I'll have to take the car to the garage again." " Then we can't afford the camp?" " I've already paid for it." "I think it would be good for you to go to that camp." "Aren't you happy?" "Of course I'm happy." "We can't do it without that money." "What do we do now?" " I know." " What?" "Yes, Ebba is so sensitive right now." "She can't be with other Indians." "No, adopted from any country, I mean." "Yes, as a mother, one gets worried." "Exactly." "What about the enrolment fee?" "Does one get the entire amount back?" "Yes, that's fine." "If you could send it today, that would be very nice." "Thank you very much." "Bye." "Excuse me..." "Will it be here by Friday?" "Fine!" "Bye." " They'll send all of it in a moneyorder." " But it will be in Anita's name." "Yes..." "Then you can't cash it!" " I'll borrow her ID-card." " Isn't that a bit much?" "I mean..." "It's my money." "It's been given to me." "I'm just using it on something that's more important to me now." "OK..." "Where are we going to stay in India?" "We only have enough for the flight." "We have nothing for when we're there." "Can't we stay with Nira?" "I'll e-mail her and make sure." ""Dear Anita, I think it's important that we talk before you and Ebba come to visit me."" ""Can I call you at your home?" "What time would be suitable for you?"" "No!" "Is she to call tomorrow at 12 o'clock?" "Well, she wants to talk." "You're crazy!" "I can't pretend to be Anita." " She doesn't know mum's voice." " Then you talk to her!" " She might recognise my voice." " Don't be stupid!" " What if Anita comes home for lunch?" " She never does." "Will you help me?" "Yes." " Wait." " See..." "It was the postman." "The money from the camp?" " How will you get Anita's ID?" " I'll find a way." " Hi!" "Why are you at home?" " Why are you?" "My meeting was postponed." " We came to have some lunch." " Fine." "I'll make an omelet." " We've eaten already." " What?" "Yes, I'm really full." "I'm having an omelet." "You eat if you want to." " We can do the lunch." " I can unpack." "Oh, thank you." "You go and relax." " You need a rest." " Do I?" " You work so hard, she means." " What's all this?" " Do you really have time?" " Yes, we have several hours off." " This is wonderful." " Allow yourself some luxury." "Enjoy!" "She'll stay there for a while." " Hell..." " You promised." "Anita Hultman..." "Hello, Nira." "Nice to hear from you." "Yes, I'm also very surprised." "How did she take it?" "She was happy to hear about you." "When?" "Soon." "In October some time." "Ebba!" "If we really want to stay at your house?" "Yes, yes." "Very much." "Yes." "I will call you as soon as we have the tickets." "OK." "Yes." "Bye-bye." "What are you doing?" "We forgot." "We were studying." "Just go back in the bathtub." "No, I'm done bathing." "I'll get dressed, and then I'll make the omelet!" "Yes..." "The exhaust system was wrongly put together." " Who did that?" " A friend." "Friends like that you don't need..." "So... 2,465 crowns." "Thank you..." "Then you get these from me." "Do you have any ID?" "Well, so..." " But I've been here before." "Are you new?" " Yes." "And the boss isn't here, so I need ID." "But I obviously must have left it at home, so what do we do?" " Cash?" " No, I haven't any." "Then we do this and this and you can pick up the car later." "Thank you very much for all your help." "Have a very good day." "You too." "I went to get the car, you know..." "But I couldn't find my ID." "Couldn't pay." "I went home and searched everywhere." "You know where I found it?" " No." " In the handbag..." "Lock me up, I'm going crazy!" " Aren't you going swimming?" " I'm not going." "I'm thinking of giving it up." "No...!" "I'm not sure." "I'm just thinking about it." "We'll have to talk about that." "Think it through." "Close the door." "Yes, is there a swimming-pool nearby?" "Ebba Hultman." "What?" "No!" "Ebba Hultman?" "I see..." "When was it sent back?" "I see..." "Thank you." " Ebba!" "Come and sit down." " What is it?" " I want to talk with you." " Now?" "That adoption camp..." "Did you cancel it?" "No." "I just spoke with them." "They said I cancelled because you were sensitive to other adopted kids right now." " You're so suspicious." " So you know nothing about it?" " Is this some kind of police interrogation?" " Yes, it felt very odd." "I understand if you changed your mind." "Yes, I withdrew my enrolment." " Must I tell you everything at once?" " You can't change things in my name." " Sorry." "Bye." " Just a minute!" "Wait!" "Why?" "You're the one who wanted to go!" " Not any more!" "Leave me alone!" " Where is the money they sent back?" "Do you need money for something?" "Answer me!" "Where are you going?" " Just away for a while." " Has something happened?" " What is it?" " Nothing!" "Go inside!" "Please take a seat." "I'm here for the tickets I called about." "Ebba Hultman." "Right!" "You are leaving already tonight." "Let's see..." "That'll be fun..." "There are your tickets." "Here you are." "That's a lot of one hundreds...!" "Can they be changed?" "Any re-bookings must be done before 6 o'clock, but the tickets are valid for a year." "You can get a cancellation insurance." "It's 425 crowns." " No, it's fine." " Have a good trip, then." "Bye." " Hello!" " Hi." "Let me just finish this." "Sorry I sounded so stressed on the phone." "I need to talk with someone who knows Ebba." "Are you drying your laundry?" "I'm really going to quit." " We never used to fight, Ebba and I." " That's unusual." "We've always been able to talk openly about everything, but suddenly she shuts me out." "She gets so irritated..." "She talks about giving up swimming, but she loves it." " They get like that sometimes." " But it happened so suddenly." "Perhaps it's because we don't get to India?" "We've been planning it, but it gets postponed." "And it's expensive." "So you plan for next year, but..." "We should have done it years ago!" "You hang it so neatly." "My ex-husband..." "I have no husband now..." "He..." "He didn't want any children." " So after the divorce I adopted Ebba alone." " Well done, I'd say." " When did Camilla's mother die?" " When Camilla was one." " So you've raised Camilla alone." " Yes." "Like you have Ebba." "I don't have any like that..." "I feel like the worst mother in the world!" "I don't know what to do!" "If you ask me, I don't think Ebba could have a better mother than you." " Do you want a cup of coffee?" " Yes!" "Wow, Camilla!" "Nice throw!" "You're late." " Look here..." "The tickets!" " Come..." " Have you bought them without me?" " Look at the date." " But that's tonight!" " Open tickets." "We can go tomorrow." "Let's go to the embassy and get visas." " It's the middle of the school year." " So what?" "We were going now!" "Don't you want to go?" "Don't you want to go?" " Yes, but must it be right now?" " So when?" "Tomorrow?" "No, but..." "What...?" "I can't just leave Dad like that!" "Leave tonight!" "I didn't think you would let me down!" "We'll go to India, it's not that." "But don't you see how crazy it would be to go tonight?" "You agreed!" "You haven't talked with Anita yet." "When you do, things may work out, and then we'll go!" " She's the one who went behind my back!" " And now you're doing the same thing!" "I'm tired of everybody letting me down!" "Wait!" " Hi, Ebba!" " I think you're a bitch!" "You need to know one thing :" "There's a difference between us two." "And you're a lousy swimmer." "You should to give it up." "What the hell are you saying?" "Ebba, stay!" " Let's talk!" " We're done talking." "Go to hell!" "Dear Nira, Something has happened here and we will not be able to come and visit you as we have planned." "I will call you soon and tell you more." "Anita." "It's good you're home." "I stayed up waiting." "Shouldn't you go to bed?" " There's something I must tell you." " Not now, I'm too tired." "I want to tell you now." "I've waited, maybe for too long." "You've asked me many times about your background and who your biological parents are." "I know." "You don't have to say more." "I know it all." "You've lied to me all along!" " Wait a second..." " All the times I've asked." " Listen..." " No, I won't." "You just bought me, because you couldn't get any kids of your own!" "Here they are, right?" "Wait..." " Let go!" " No, I won't!" "Let go!" "You're not my mother!" "I'm sorry, but I really want to talk with you." "Please let me in!" "I can explain this." "It's more complicated than..." "I love you." "We'll talk tomorrow." " Is Ebba here?" " No." " Do you know where she is?" " She's probably swimming." "This may sound strange, but do you know if she's been planning to go to India?" " No..." "She's always wanted to, of course." " Yes, but I mean right now." "This is serious." "I'm afraid she's about to go to India without saying anything to me." " I don't think she would do that." " She took my ID-card and my money." " I never thought she would do that." " No, that doesn't sound like Ebba." " You'd better say what you know." " I know nothing!" "Has she gone?" "Has she gone?" "Yes, yesterday. 23.30, I think." "I need a phone number in India." "It's a woman named Nira Kumar in Bombay." "Where do you want to go?" "I can take you to the best hotel in Bombay." "It's cheap and very clean." " Where's my bag?" " Right there." "Thank you." "I want to go to this hotel..." "Hotel Lakshmi." "Oh, it's my uncle's hotel." "Very good." " Really?" " Yes." "Only 50 rupees a day." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on!" " So we're going to Hotel Lakshmi?" " Sure." "Of course." " We wrote e-mails in your name." " And pretended to be me on the phone." "I'm sorry." "It's all my fault." "I should have gone with her." " How the hell can you be so stupid?" " Take it easy." "And that Nira..." "If she hadn't written, Ebba wouldn't have gone." " That's actually illegal!" " What do we do?" " I'll go to India." " What do I do?" "If the police..." "If anyone calls, then say..." "Here are the keys." "I'm off to the airport." "Oh, fuck..." " Do you want to buy my car?" " I have money." "I'll drive you." "I'll be right back." "You stay here!" " But this isn't Hotel Lakshmi." " This is the same, but better." " My uncle's hotel." " You took me to the wrong hotel." "Lakshmi is a dangerous hotel." "You want a safe one, don't you?" "Come on!" "Come on in!" "Come on!" "100 rupees one night." "Is that OK?" "Yeah." " How long will you stay?" " I don't know." " OK." "You want to see your room?" " Yes." "Come on." " Gate 17." " Thank you." "Bombay, India..." "Visa?" "Don't you have a visa?" "What the hell are you saying?" " When is the next plane?" " 23.30 tonight." " Hello, Ebba." " I want to be alone, please." "OK, sure, no problem." "But have some chai." "Goodnight, sleep tight." " Good morning, Ebba." " Good morning." " How are you?" " Fine." "How are you?" "I'm fine too." "How was the breakfast?" "Nice." "Do you know where Mahatma Gandhi Hospital is?" "Yes I know." "Do you promise to take me to the right place this time?" "Yes, of course." "The hospital is very close now." "OK." "Are you OK?" " Yeah." " Good." "Don't worry." " She works in Ward 34." " Is she a doctor?" "Yes, that's what he told me." "Are you sick?" "She's my Indian mother." " Go and see her." " Aren't you coming with me?" "No, this is not for me." "You go upstairs." "Go that side." " How do you think I felt when you just left?" " Horrible, I guess." "I'm so terribly glad to see you." "You still want to meet her, don 't you?" "I don 't have to be there." "I understand that you want to meet her alone." "Mum, I really want you to come along." "Well... now we are finally together after all the misunderstandings." "I know it was wrong on my part to contact you." "I know I was not supposed to do that." "It's just that..." "I always wondered how Ebba was doing." "I was very happy when I got your mail." "I really thought it was from you, Anita." "I'm really sorry, Anita." "Don't be." " Do you want to be alone?" " I can see myself in her." "I know, I see it too." "You're not poor, so why did you give me away?" "I was very young when I met this boy, and I became pregnant." "I could not go home, because in India it's shameful to have a child out of marriage." "But I knew very well that you and I could never have survived in the streets." "And I wanted you to survive." "And your parents?" "They died a few years ago." "I live in their house with my sister and her two children." " Maybe I can see them sometime?" " Yes, sure." "Whenever you want." "I can see that you and your mother love each other very much." "I want to tell you something." "I don't blame you for contacting us." "I understand you." "And..." "I'm happy that I've met you now." "OK, anybody wants chai ?" "Yeah." "I think that's a good idea." "Hello!" "Can we have three chai, please?" " Do you swim?" " Yes, I do." "In fact, when I was younger, I did a lot of swimming." "And I still like it a lot." " So do I." " She's very good." "And I like it too, actually." "It's strange..." "I didn 't cry when I met Nira." "Maybe later." "I feel tenderness for her, not reproach." "I long to go home, very much." "And I miss you." "Next time we go to India, we'll only have to buy the tickets." "We can stay with Nira." "Just joking..." "But a winter vacation in Bombay wouldn't be bad, right?" "And it's good to have a doctor in the family!" "Wait!" "Wait, wait!" " Are you leaving already?" " Yes." "Goodbye, Rupeesh." " Do you need anything before I go?" " No." "Just you come back one day." "Mum, can I have 1000 rupees?" "Thank you very much." "Very nice!" " Hope to see you again soon." "Bye." " Goodbye too." "Bye!" "It was so boring when you weren't in school." "It was so boring, I couldn't get up in the morning." "It was horrible!" " Did anyone wonder where I was?" " Like Erik, you mean?" " Actually, I've spoken with him." " What about?" "I think he's coming over there." " What have you said?" " Nothing special." "Just that you were abducted to a harem in Bombay, and had to eat snakes every day." "But you managed to sneak away from 2,000 guards." " Where are you going?" " To my house." " Do you want to come?" " OK." "This time you'll win!"
