"Have some cake and come with me" "Get ready, Dad. I'll drop you at the bakery I must take the car to the garage" "See this tie ?" "It's for Albert" "And for me ?" "How do you like these goggles ?" "I got them for Chris" "Nice ..." "What've you got for me, Anna ?" "Couldn't get anything for you tho' l wanted to ln fact, I saw a very nice thing ..." "An ideal gift for you" "But as it happened ... I ran out of money when I bought all this stuff" "Oh, it doesn't matter, Anna." "After all ... lt's enough you at least thought of me" "And anyway, it's feeling that counts" "Gifts don't matter much" "How's it possible I wouldn't bring anything for you ?" "Sunil plays the mouth organ so well lt's nothing." "Just put it to your lips and blow !" "No, Albert. lt's an art lt's like ... sitting by the lake on a January afternoon   under a cherry tree and eating a strawberry cake" "Simon, you're forbidden even to think of sweets !" "It's really very nice" "We're all coming to meet you at the bakery this evening" "Sunil !" "You here ?"

"Sorry, I couldn't see you, Father" "Drop me at Vinayak's garage." " l'm going the other way" "No matter." "Whether you go   this way or the other, all paths lead to God" "But first, I must go to the garage" "Which leakage are you talking of, Albert ?" "This leakage, that leakage !" "The one you repaired 2 days ago !" "It's leaking again I told you to get it welded and the engine overhauled !" "But uncle ..." " Must change all the parts" "Why don't you repair all leakages at one go ?" "Why're you two fighting ?" " Ask him, Father lt was repaired yesterday and now it leaks !" "What am I to do" "How am I to blame, Father !" "It's junk." "An old heap !" "I told him it needs overhauling" "All he gets done are patch ups" "Why not sell this, put in some money and buy a cycle ?" "This isn't your tempo." "It's a CAR !" "Now children, no fighting" "Tell me, Vinayak." "What's the problem ?" "Ask me what problems it HASN'T !" "Well, the problem it HASN'T ?" " Everything's a problem" "The engine." "Engine, you know ?" " Yes, the engine lt must be overhauled" "The entire wiring's in a rat's belly !" "Rat's belly ?" " Yes, rats eat the wires" "Albert, now you tell me." "What's the problem ?" "What can I say, Father ?" "I'm getting late for work" "You just repair this leakage now I'll pick it up this evening" "Well Father, I must go" "Keep your class going" "Potato pohe, specially made for you" "And this sweet, for our New Year" "Oh, today is Gudi Padva, your New Year" "How's it ?" "Delicious ..." "Really very good" "Sunil likes it very much too" "Talk to Sunil." "He doesn't intend to pass ever, it seems !" "Sunil is a very good boy." "Let him live his own way" "Sunil !" "Look out !" "What've you done !" "You hit it !" "Thank you, God !" "It's safe !" " Safe !" "It's fully damaged" "Sunil, look out" "He seems most dangerous !" " Come on, run" "Run !" "Instead of Chinatown, we'll end up in hospital !" "Come on." "Run !" " The bastards have run away" "OK ..." "We'll see later" "Hurry." "We must go to the docks." "The goods are landing" "A band is already playing here lt's only temporary ..." "Oh, Mr. Patel" "How're you, Richie ?" " Fine I heard you're getting married" "Well, these are the boys you were praising so, eh ?" "They're very talented, Mr. Patel I'll introduce everybody" "He's Imran, plays drums superbly." "This is Chris" "What !" "Not a single girl in your group !" "?" "We do have Anna." "She sings very well" "Now tell me when you can start" "What !" "You mean we have been employed !" "Read the terms and conditions and sign the contract now" "Throw the bastards out !" "Call this music !" "This damn Patel !" "Where does he pick such rotten bands !" "Please ..." "Oh, don't throw the glasses !" "They cost 300 a dozen !" "Throw this rotten band out !" "Or we'll throw the glasses !" "Play a fast tune" "Look, Richie." "The public here is mad" "A rough crowd." "Absolute hooligans" "They throw glasses if they don't like the music" "As for this band ..." "No experience at all." "What to do !" "They begged, groveled" "Asked me to give them a break" "And I gave them their first chance !" "Enough !" "No more !" "I won't give anyone a first chance in Chinatown !" "You have played in public before, haven't you ?" "Why're you silent ?" "Why don't you tell me ?" "Of course we played" "We played a lot, Mr. Patel." "And this public's nothing, Mr. Patel." "nothing" "We played to a far more dangerous crowd" "What !" "?" " Yes" "Our band was to do a show ..." " What was the Club called ?" "Enter the Dragon Club !" "The name sounds familiar" "They throw only glasses here." "There they throw plates" "Pick up 'n throw !" "Pick up 'n throw .." "Enough !" "Even the waiters throw plates !" "Waiters ... ?" " Yes" "Go in, my son ..." "Never say such things before waiters !" "What happened then ?" "What else, Mr. Patel !" "We began to play and there was pin-drop silence !" "And the whole crowd began to wag its tail like a cow" "Wagged its tail like a cow ?" "But cows don't wag tails !" " They don't ?" "They wagged tails like dogs !" " Like dogs ?" "You remember ?" "How they cheered and threw money ..." "Pounds, Dollars, Rials ..." "One guy threw gold biscuits !" " Gold biscuits ?" "Yes." "One of them hit Imran." "See the scar." "Right, Imran ?" "No, Sunil." "Stop it now" "Mr. Patel, the truth is we've never performed in public" "But believe me ..." " WHAT !" "Believe me." "Our band is good" "A 1000 times better than what you've here lf they start throwing plates here... I'll have to quit TOWN and go to china !" "Please go ..." "Go, please" "Don't do it, Sunil" "I said stop it, yaar" "Why're you doing it ?" "Imran's getting irritated" "This irritates Imran and Imran irritates me !" "Why tell Patel we had never played in public ?" "Don't start that again !" " Imran is right" "We needn't lie to get work" "How'd a small lie harm us !" "What harm !" "?" "It'd be outright deception" "Cheating ?" "We weren't printing counterfeit notes !" "A small lie and our worked be done." "Right, Anna ?" "Absolutely wrong !" "You ought to be ashamed of it, Sunil" "Even a lie must've limits." "Enter the Dragon Club indeed !" "We had such hopes this time." "Almost on the last rung ..." "But I don't know why these things happen only to us" "It doesn't matter, Chris." "It'll be all right" "Don't feel depressed" "I don't know why these things happen only to us" "I must say it was a good try" "Some tall story, huh !" "Waiters throwing plates ..." "You'll jump with joy !" "Know what ?" "Patel's dead, right ?" " No, yaar" "Richie has given us a chance to play at his wedding" "But he had booked another band" "Cancelled !" "We'll play instead" "Another thing." "Patel will be there. lf he likes our music ..." "Chinatown is certain !" "You guys are ready ?" " Absolutely" "Mr. Patel come."
